Caption by Tom Blomquist: "Neil and David are stunned when Tom informs them that only ONE of them can carry Christy across the honeymoon threshold."

From Shari Ann: "Reverend Grantland, trying yet again to minister to the mountain people, offers to help 'bear Neil's burden'."

From Lisa Renee: "Dr. MacNeill: 'Hand her over, bub. *I* am the choice of Christy's heart.'"

From Beth L. who quotes the great Lauren Bacall: "What are you trying to do? Guess her weight?"

From Sherry: "Get lost, David. Read the book! I'm marrying Neil."

From Margaret: "Make no mistake, she's MINE!" "No, she's MINE!" "Mine!" "Mine!"

From Jenn: Neil - "Hands off David! I saw her first!"

From Jenn: Tom - "Didn't your mothers ever teach you to share?"

From Valleylass: "How embarrassing! If only Bird's Eye were here. HE wouldn't need help carrying me!!!"

From Anonymous: Christy- "I know I suggested a staring contest, but this is ridiculous..."

From Renee: "Now boys!! This ain't Finders Keepers!! Both of you need to put her down and behave until we can watch the end of the mini series and find out which one of you gets to keep her."

From Leslie: Christy thinks "This is not fair! I don't want to choose!! Why can't I have them both?"

From Kilene: Neil - "Ok Grantland this is how we'll decide, when I count to three we'll toss her up and see where she lands. Heads or tails?"

From Melissa: Christy - "David get a clue, I already turned you down one time. It's Neil I want!"

From Jeff: Tom McHone -"Ok guys. You are both pathetic. This wasn't what I meant when I said let's go out and try to pick up some chicks."

From Jenny: Christy thinks - "Oh they sure know how to flatter a girl...it takes two of them to carry me?!"

From Sonla: Tom - "Doc, you won't me to hold 'im here while you 'uns make a get away?"

From Sonla: David - "You got to carry her when she fell in the creek with Theo, It's my turn." Tom - "Yeah, Doc he's right." Neil - "The first night she was here, you carried her in from the rain." Christy thinks - "This is getting nowhere; time they are done arguing I'll be able to walk."

From Ganymede: "It takes three to tango."

From SarahJ: David--"Now Doctor, Christy really wants me. I carry her and thats that." Neil--"You've got to be kidding me man! I'm the one who just saved her life." Tom--"Now Reverand, the Doc's right. He did save Christy's life......" David--"Who's side are you on anyway?!" Christy--"I had a fever, not a broken foot!!"

From Lana: Christy--"Ok, Ok, Ok! I know how to settle this once and for all. I'm thinking of a number between one and ten. Neil, you go first. What number am I thinking off?"
