Jim-Bob Walton
- Jim-Bob Walton: [Jim-Bob rides to the house with a letter for John-Boy, sitting on the steps, writing "10,000" in the sand] Ten thousand what?
- John-Boy Walton: Huh?
- Jim-Bob Walton: I said, "Ten thousand what?"
- John-Boy Walton: Ten thousand unemployed writers in this country today.
- Jim-Bob Walton: That's silly.
- John-Boy Walton: What's silly about ten thousand unemployed writers?
- Jim-Bob Walton: Just because you're nineteen years old, doesn't mean everyone else is dumb.
- John-Boy Walton: I never said you were dumb.
- John-Boy Walton: Well, the way you tell it, a writer is somebody who's supposed to be somebody who thinks things up and puts 'em on paper.
- Jim-Bob Walton: Well what's that got to do with anything?
- John-Boy Walton: Somebody like that is working for himself, isn't he?
- John-Boy Walton: Of course he's working for himself, he has to work for himself.
- Jim-Bob Walton: If he's working for himself, how can he be out of a job?
