John-Boy Walton
- Elizabeth Walton: Did you know that Corabeth has a puppy?
- John-Boy Walton: I know. She calls it Clementine.
- Elizabeth Walton: That's not what Ike calls it.
- John-Boy Walton: What does Ike call it?
- Elizabeth Walton: I can't say.
- John-Boy Walton: Why not?
- Elizabeth Walton: Mama won't let me say words like that.
- John-Boy Walton: You see, Mr. Johnson, the editor, is folding down the Jefferson County Times. And he's moving lock, stock, and barrel to Florida, the presses and everything, except for this one pretty little foot-operated printing press, and that's the one I bought it.
- John Walton, Sr.: How much?
- John-Boy Walton: Just $50 down and $15 a month.
- John Walton, Sr.: Till you've paid off ... how much?
- John-Boy Walton: $550.
- The Grandfather: Methuselah!
- Mr. Clarence Johnson: All except ... Come with me. I'd like to show you something. Here. Here, John-Boy. This is how I started. This is my original press. Of course, I had to expand, get better equipment, but I always held onto this press because I loved her.
- John-Boy Walton: What a beauty! Isn't she? She still run?
- Mr. Clarence Johnson: All I have to do is oil her a little bit and she'll run like a dream.
- John-Boy Walton: What are you gonna do with her?
- Mr. Clarence Johnson: Well, I have an advertisement running in a publisher's quarterly. I wish that you were in the market.
- John-Boy Walton: Me?
- Mr. Clarence Johnson: Mmm-hmm.
- John-Boy Walton: [laughing with amusement] Mr. Johnson, we Baptists don't sell our souls too easy, but that press could tempt me.
