Laura and Almanzo in “Unfinished Business”

[to Almanzo] You don't need a wheelchair! You could only walk if you tried!

Almanzo

We've been all through this. You don't know what it's like.

And you don't know what it's like for me to watch my husband just give up! I think you want to be a cripple.

Almanzo

What kind of thing is that to say?

The truth, that's what!

Almanzo

Beth, you know that I have tried.

Oh, yes. Just long enough to give up. Doc Baker gave you exercises, and you won't even do them!

Almanzo

They don't work! Can't you understand that?

No, I don't! I don't understand anything about you anymore!
