- Lars Hanson: We called a special meeting of the school board tonight.
- Charles Ingalls: No one told me.
- Lars Hanson: Yeah, well we figured it was better that way. You can be pretty stubborn at times, Charles.
- Lars Hanson: We have a lot of pride here in Walnut Grove. And a thing like this doesn't happen very often. And the school board voted unanimously to give the money needed for the trip.
- Charles Ingalls: Well, that's very kind of you, but I'm sorry...
- Eva Beadle: It's not a matter of kindness, Mr. Ingalls. Believe me, there are a lot of children who go to the finals sponsored by their home towns.
- Lars Hanson: How often do we get the chance to get the name Walnut Grove in the newspapers all over the state?
- Eva Beadle: It's for the pride of Walnut Grove.
