- Ted Webb: I ain't ever gonna see you again.
- Loretta Lynn: Yes you will, daddy.
- Ted Webb: Maybe. But I ain't never gonna see my little girl again. Them years has been robbed from me, like a thief broke in and robbed 'em.

- Ted Webb: Jack, Loretta's getting to be a woman. Going on 14. Women's 'sposed to have pretty things.
- Webb Child: Aww, she ain't no woman, she ain't nothin' but a dad-burn kid.
- Ted Webb: Get up here. Let's see what you weigh.
- Loretta Lynn: 117? Boy, Daddy, this baby's gonna be a big one, ain't it? You weigh now.
- Ted Webb: It wouldn't do no good. I wouldn't know how much was me, how much was all that coal dust I swallowed.
- Clara Webb: Bad times is a-comin'.
- Ted Webb: Well, we don't need no fortune-teller to know that.
- Loretta Webb: [singing, while rocking her baby sister] In the pines, in the pines, Where the sun never shines, And I shiver when the cold wind blows...
- Ted Webb: Doolittle's been up the house every day this week. I don't want him hanging around no more.
- Loretta Webb: Why?
- Ted Webb: 'Cause you ain't got no business hanging around with him. You're just a little girl, he's a grown-up man, wild as the devil.
- Loretta Webb: I love him, Daddy. And he's a-wanting me to marry him.
- Ted Webb: You ain't even 14 yet.
