- Joseph 'Little Joe' Cartwright: You uh... found any new breeding stock this trip, Pa?
- Ben Cartwright: Breeding stock?
- Joseph 'Little Joe' Cartwright: Mm-hmm.
- Ben Cartwright: I went to Carson to see the railway people about selling some timber for that new line they're planning up north. You know that.
- Eric 'Hoss' Cartwright: Uh, Pa, you didn't meet nobody new or nothing?
- Adam Cartwright: Well, let's stop beating around the bush. Did you get married?
- Ben Cartwright: Did I what?
- Adam Cartwright: Pa, in the future if you ever do decide to get married and sent the bride home by herself, just do us one favor, will ya?
- Ben Cartwright: What?
- Adam Cartwright: Don't.
- Adam Cartwright: You mean to tell me that Pa would get married and send the bride all the way back here by herself? Now, there's something wrong, and what did you have to put her up here for?
- Ben Cartwright: Ah, this place of ours is so beautiful. Every time I see it, it's as though I'm seeing it for the first time.
- Joseph 'Little Joe' Cartwright: Yeah, well you came pretty close to seeing it for the last time, Pa.
