[to Eliza Jane] I'm standing on my own two feet and I don't want you to take that away from me.
Almanzo!
You've always been my big sister. I've listened to you, looked up to you. I always thought you knew what was best for me.
I do want what's best for you!
I know you do. But you need to let me decide what that is from now on.
This job! It's what we've been waiting for!
It's what you've been waiting for. I want to be a farmer. That's all I've ever wanted out of the whole world. After we finish raising the house and working the fields for next year's crops two weeks ago, I didn't know what I was going to do. Now I do.
[backs away and starts crying] After everything I've done for you, I can't believe you're going to throw it all away! [runs off]
[to Charles] I didn't want to hurt her like that.
She'll be all right.
