Mother? I have something to say to you, and I'm only going to say it once, so I want you to pay attention.
Willie, there's nothing that you have to say--
Mother, I'm talking! You're listening! You've been complaining to me and to Father, and to anyone else in Walnut Grove that'll listen to you that Rachel is ruining my life. Now, I've kept quiet about it because I thought you'd realize how wrong you are, but I'm not going to keep quiet about it any longer. If anyone is ruining my chances for a happy life around here, you are!
Me?!
Yes, you! Rachel is my best chance for a happy life, and I don't ever want to hear you say another unkind word about her. Now, we are going to open up the restaurant, and you can stay here until you accept the fact that Rachel and I are getting married, because that's exactly what we are gonna do!
Oh, fine, fine! Fine, go ahead! Marry her, marry her! What do I care? I won't be there, I promise you that!
Fine! That's your decision. Oh, and by the way, Mr. Edwards is going to be my best man! [he and Rachel leave]
Oh, there, you see? Do you see what that-that wench has done to him?
