Quotes
-
Laurie : I have loved you since the moment I clapped eyes on you. What could be more reasonable than to marry you?
Jo March : We'd kill each other.
Laurie : Nonsense!
Jo March : Neither of us can keep our temper-...
Laurie : I can, unless provoked.
Jo March : We're both stupidly stubborn, especially you. We'd only quarrel!
Laurie : I wouldn't!
Jo March : You can't even propose without quarreling.
-
Laurie : Someday you'll find a man, a good man, and you'll love him, and marry him, and live and die for him. And I'll be hanged if I stand by and watch.
-
Amy : Do you hear from Jo? She has befriended a German professor.
Laurie : Yes, well, no doubt he's showing her the ways of the world.
Amy : I do not wish to be courted by someone who is still in love with my sister!
Laurie : I'm not in love with Jo.
Amy : Then how do you explain your jealousy?
Laurie : I envy her happiness. I envy his happiness. I envy John Brooke for marrying Meg. I hate Fred Vaughn. And if Beth had a lover I would despise him too. Just as you have always known that you would never marry a pauper, I have always known I should be part of the March family.
Amy : I do not wish to be loved for my family.
Laurie : Any more than Fred Vaughn wishes to be loved for his 40,000 a year!
-
Laurie : Fellow artists, may I present myself as an actor, a musician, and a loyal and very humble servant of the club.
Jo March : We'll be the judge of that.
Laurie : In token of my gratitude and as a means of promoting communication between adjoining nations, shouting from windows being forbidden, I shall provide a post office in our hedge, to further incourage the bearing of our souls and the telling of our most appalling secrets. I do pledge never to reveal what I recieve in confindence here.
Meg : Well, then. Do take your place Rodrigo.
Jo March : Sir Rodrigo.
-
Laurie : Hello! Jo! Come over here. You too, Meg. It's dull as tombs around here.
-
Laurie : Meg?
Meg : Please don't tell Jo how I've behaved.
Laurie : As long as you won't tell anyone how I've behaved.
Meg : I was just playing a part. To see what it felt like to be Belle Gardiner with four proposals and 20 pairs of gloves.
Laurie : You're worth ten of those girls.
Boston Matron : Did you see the way that March girl has gone after the Laurence heir?
Boston Matron : Best thing that could happen to the Marches.
Meg : This ridiculous dress, I've been tripping over it all night.
Laurie : Tie something around your neck where it can do you some good.
