Quotes3

  • John-Boy Walton: ALARM RINGING. What is that?
  • Sheriff Ep Bridges: Oh, no. It's that burglar alarm.
  • John-Boy Walton: Burglar alarm?
  • Sheriff Ep Bridges: Yeah, Delilah Millhouse had it put in. Every time a nervous flea jumps down off her old bulldog, it starts that fool thing jangling.
  • Esther Walton: Oh, he couldn't remember that.
  • The Grandfather: Well, he didn't rely on his memory. He had a recent map, and he showed me on it: 8300 West Garner is located almost in the middle of the Raleigh city dump.
  • John-Boy Walton: Grandpa, there's obviously an explanation for it.
  • The Grandfather: Oh, yes, I am looking forward to that!
  • John-Boy Walton: You would expect that after such an experience, I would have given up trying to be a big brother to everyone I met. I did for a while, but it wasn't long until I had lapsed back into the comfortable and familiar role I had learned to play. In fact, I suspect that even today, if I found Muffin Maloney sitting on my running board, I might say, "Hi, there. You look like you need a friend."
