Missie Davis
- Marty Claridge: My husband Aaron loved me so much that it spilled over and made a baby.
- Missie Davis: What spilled over?
- Marty Claridge: It.
- Missie Davis: What is it?
- Marty Claridge: The love.
- Missie Davis: I was thinking about how many brothers and sisters Clint has. There's a lot of love spilling over at the Grahams'.
- Clark Davis: Where did the skunk find you?
- Marty Claridge: In the barn.
- Missie Davis: We need some more tomatoes, Pa. It took a whole bushel to get her smelling this good.
- Missie Davis: [Missie and Clark find the chicken coop a mess and the stump with blood on it] Looks like a coyote got in there, Pa.
- Clark Davis: [looking at the stump] Or a wild woman with an axe.
- Missie Davis: Readin' ain't no adventure.
- Marty Claridge: Once you can read you can have any adventure you've ever dreamed of.
- Marty Claridge: There is no way you're going to be my--my midwife! Find someone else!
- Clark Davis: There ain't no time for that.
- Marty Claridge: *Isn't!* I'll be fine. I'll be fine. Did you deliver Missie?
- Clark Davis: No, there was Sarah...
- Missie Davis: But Pa's delivered plenty of calves.
- Marty Claridge: [sarcastically] Oh, that makes me feel so much better.
- Clark Davis: Missie, we'll need a lot of hot water and the shears from the barn. They'll need to be sterilized.
- Marty Claridge: Missie! Missie, don't you dare!
- [Clark gestures and tells Missie to go]
- Marty Claridge: I would rather give birth in a field than have you in here!
- Clark Davis: Childbirth is a natural event.
- Marty Claridge: Ooooooh, if you feel what I'm feeling you'll see how natural it is. Now get out!
- [she has another contraction]
- Marty Claridge: Oh, I can't do this alone. Please help me. Please!
- [she holds up her left hand which has her wedding ring on it]
