Peter Graves: John 'The Colonel' Camden

Quotes 

• John 'The Colonel' Camden : [to Mary]  Hi. You know, if you spent as much time at school as you do with that boyfriend of yours, you would now have one year of college under your belt, instead of just a couple of courses.

  Mary Camden : I know, but I'm not sure if college is my goal.

  John 'The Colonel' Camden : What is your goal? Marriage?

  Mary Camden : Maybe. We're thinking about it.

  John 'The Colonel' Camden : I think Wilson is a fine young man and a good father to his son and you would be a good wife and mother if that's what you decide you want.

  Mary Camden : But?

  John 'The Colonel' Camden : But let's say you marry and God forbid, something happens to Wilson. Would you be able to support little Billy? Now this is not the first time you thought about this, right? You know, I think a college education offers more opportunities for employment, but you're not interested in college. Maybe you should try public service. Public service is a wonderful way to serve your country and support your family. And my dear, it seems very clear that you are about to have your own family. So let's not waste any time on trying to figure out who we are and what we want to do. You are the future Mrs. Wilson West, mother to Billy West. Get a job at the end of the week.
