Episode Quotes

(Opening Narration)
The Narrator: Few strangers ever came to Waltons Mountain. We got our news of the outside world from the radio or from an occasional copy of a magazine. But I remember when I was about 17 four visitors arrived and gave me my first unexpected glimpse of the other world beyond our mountain.

(Closing Narration)
The Narrator: And so the carnival people left Waltons Mountain. The postcard we received from them said they'd arrived safely in Chicago and were working at the World's Fair. Some years later, when I left to go to college, the book which Tommy gave me was one of the possessions I took with me. Now, whenever I open it I remember those four people who gave a 17 year old boy his first glimpse of the outside world.

Elizabeth: John-Boy?
John-Boy: What is it?
Elizabeth: You think they'll ever come back?
John-Boy: I don't know, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: I wish I could see that lady walk along the rope again.
John-Boy: One day maybe.
Elizabeth: Hope so, goodnight, John-Boy.
John-Boy: Goodnight, Elizabeth.
