- Mrs. Oleson: My back is killing me again...
- Nelson "Nels" Oleson: [doing inventory on his shoes] ... and again, and again...
- Mrs. Oleson: What did you say?
- Nelson "Nels" Oleson: I'm just counting these shoe sizes dear. And a ten and a ten, four sizes.
- Mrs. Oleson: You disgraced me in front of the town.
- Reverend Robert Alden: [trying to heal their broken marriage] Please - there must be forgiveness!
- Nelson "Nels" Oleson: Don't talk to me about forgiveness 'til you lived with a woman like that!
- Mrs. Oleson: Tsk!
- [both of them leave the church]
