Episode Quotes
 
(Opening Narration)
The Narrator: For as long as we could remember, Ike Godsey's general merchandise store had been the social center of our community. Friendships were forged over loaves of bread, the place was a clearing-house for news, rumor and often as not, gossip. Adventure in those days was having a nickel to spend and time to gaze into the candy counter for as long as we liked before making a selection. Little did we know then, how much that store and its occupants meant to us until one terrifying day in 1942
 
(Closing Narration)
The Narrator: Because Elizabeth had proved herself so capable during Ike's absence she was hired to work in the store while Ike continued to recuperate under Corabeth's watchful eye. Ike Godsey lived for many years after his heart attack and his deep commitment to his store became an example to all of us of courage and devotion, of victory of the human spirit. Ike's gone now, but the store is still there, it's become a landmark. How Ike would have loved that! Goodnight Mr Godsey!
 
Jim Bob: Daddy?
John: Yes Jim Bob?
Jim Bob: It's hard for me to breathe.
John: Does your chest hurt?
Jim Bob: Sort of. I think I'm having a heart attack.
Jason: I think he's having a sorgum attack. He ate 5 pieces of corn bread covered with syrup....
John: Is that right, Son?
Jim Bob: No Sir, I had eight pieces.
John: Goodnight, Jim Bob....
Jim Bob: Goodnight everybody!
