James quotes from Little House on the Prairie

James

[as he consoles Cassandra, who is crying] Cassandra? I meant what I said to Mr. Ingalls. You and me, we'll always be together. We're family. Even if there's never anyone else, we're gonna be just... [takes Cassandra's hand] just fine.

James

[to Albert] Why didn't you ever tell me you were an orphan?

Albert

It just never came up, I guess. Being an orphan, it's not so bad.

James

It's bad enough.

Albert

[about the orphanage] Hey, listen. There are all these other kids and you'll have lots of friends.

James

[near tears] I just wish I didn't have to go.

Albert

I know. I know.

James

Mr. Ingalls?

Charles

Yeah, son?

James

Couldn't Cassandra and I come and live with you?

Charles

I'm afraid not, son.

James

Why?

Charles

Well, if you saw my house, you wouldn't ask that. It's kind of small. Way too small for the family I've got.

James

Cassandra and me, we wouldn't take up much space, and we'd be real good about our chores. I mean, when she gets better.

Charles

You don't know how much I wish I could say yes.

James

Please. I don't want to go on that train.

Charles

I'm sorry, son.

Charles

Caroline, this is James.

Caroline

Hello, James.

Charles

And this is Cassandra.

Caroline

Welcome to our home. [Cassandra bursts into tears and grabs Caroline around the waist] What in the world? Oh, it's all right. It's all right.

James

[in a trance] Ma. She looks like.....Ma! I almost thought you were.

I got an A on a test today!

Caroline

Did you?

Charles

That's not an easy thing to do. My daughter is pretty tough on grades.

I really like her!

James

I never used to have fun at school.

Charles

Yeah, well, school can't all be fun.

James

But most of it is.
