Quotes 

• Harriet Oleson : Nels, I don't think it's right to be taking one child's word over another.

  Nels Oleson : Why not? You've been doing it ever since Nancy came here.

  Harriet Oleson : That is incorrect!

  Nels Oleson : So is this homework. Problem #3 is incorrect on Willie's paper, also on Nancy's. #7 is incorrect on both. #11 is incorrect on both. Coincidence? No!

  [turns to Nancy] 

  Nels Oleson : If you're going to choose someone's homework to copy, you need to choose someone who's good in math. Your brother isn't.

• Willie Oleson : Nobody's jealous of Nancy. Nobody wants to be in the pageant because nobody likes her!

  Harriet Oleson : Willie!

  Willie Oleson : It's true! She's mean and she's nasty, nastier than Nellie ever was. She knew Belinda was in the ice house when I closed the door. She wanted her to get sick so she could be the star of the pageant.

  Nancy Oleson : That's a lie!

  Willie Oleson : No, it's the truth!

  Harriet Oleson : Willie, how dare you make up a story like that. Go to your room right now!

  Willie Oleson : I didn't expect you to believe me. I'm only your son!

• Harriet Oleson : Well, she's not gonna get away with it anymore! I am gonna put my foot down!

  Nels Oleson : Well, it's about time.

  Harriet Oleson : Yes! She'll be sorry. She'll go to bed without any dessert tonight.

  Nels Oleson : That's the punishment?

  Harriet Oleson : You think it's too harsh?

• Harriet Oleson : That's right! I am your mother! And you won't
