Quotes
-
Amy March : Well, I believe we have some power over who we love, it isn't something that just happens to a person.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : I think the poets might disagree.
Amy March : Well, I'm not a poet, I'm just a woman. And as a woman I have no way to make money, not enough to earn a living and support my family. Even if I had my own money, which I don't, it would belong to my husband the minute we were married. If we had children they would belong to him, not me. They would be his property. So don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition, because it is. It may not be for you but it most certainly is for me.
-
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Don't marry him.
Amy March : What?
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Don't marry him.
Amy March : Why?
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : You know why...
Amy March : No, Laurie, that's mean, it's just mean of you...
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Why?
Amy March : I have been second to Jo my whole life in everything and I will not be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her. I won't do it, not when, not when I've spent my entire life loving you.
-
Jo March : I can't say "Yes" truly, so I won't say it at all. You'll see that I'm right, eventually, and you'll thank me for it.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : I'll be hanged if I do!
Jo March : You'll find some lovely accomplished girl who will adore you and make a fine mistress for your fine house. I wouldn't. I'm homely and awkward and odd and you'd be ashamed of me and we would quarrel - we can't help it even now! - I'd hate elegant society and you'd hate my scribbling and we would be unhappy and wish we hadn't done it and everything will be horrid.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Anything more?
Jo March : Nothing more -- except that... I don't believe I will ever marry. I'm happy as I am, and love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : You will care for somebody, and you'll love him tremendously, and live and die for him. I know you will, it's your way, and you will and I'll watch.
Jo March : Teddy...
-
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : That's my grandfather. Are you scared of him?
Jo March : I'm not scared of anyone! He looks stern, but my grandfather was much more handsome.
Marmee March : Jo! We do not compare grandfathers!

John Brooke : [Laurie standing on a chair, looking out the window] Please. You have to learn this. I can't afford to lose this position. Just return to the Cicero.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : There's a girl out there!
John Brooke : No, there is not.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Yes, Mr. Brooke. There's a girl.
John Brooke : No, there is not.
[Laurie moves a stool over for Mr. Brooke, who stands on it]
John Brooke : Oh. There is a girl.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : That's a girl.
[Yelling to Amy]
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Hello there. Are you hurt?
Amy March : I'm Amy!
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Hello Amy, I'm Laurie.
Amy March : I know. You brought my sister back from the dance. I would never have sprained my ankle. I have lovely small feet, the best in the family. But I can never go home again, because I'm in such trouble. Look!
[Holding up her hand]
Amy March : Mr Davis hit me.
-
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : A fellow can't live on books alone.
-
Amy March : Aren't you ashamed of a hand like that?
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : No, I'm not.
Amy March : It looks like it's never done a day of work in its life. And that ring is ridiculous.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Jo gave me this ring.
Amy March : I feel sorry for you, I really do. I just wish you'd bear it better.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : You don't have to feel sorry for me, Amy. You'll feel the same way one day.
Amy March : No, I'd be respected if I couldn't be loved.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : And what work have you done lately, oh great "artiste" - or have you been too busy imagining how you'll spend Fred Vaughn's fortune? FRED VAUGHN, ladies and gentlemen!
-
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : Short answers save trouble.
