Quotes
-
Amy March : 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, there's no way for me to make my own money. Not enough to earn a living or support my family. And if I had my own money, which I don't, that money would belong to my husband the moment we got married. And if we had children, they would be his, not mine. 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.
-
Amy March : I'm making a mould of my foot for Laurie to remind him I have nice feet.
-
Amy March : I'm sorry, Jo.
Marmee March : Amy...
Amy March : It's just that the only thing you care about is your writing so it's not as if I could hurt you by ruining one of your dresses. And I really did want to hurt you. I am the most sorry for it now. I'm so sorry.
Marmee March : Jo, don't let the sun go down on your anger. Forgive her. Help each other, and you begin again tomorrow.
Jo March : She doesn't deserve my forgiveness. I will hate her! I will hate her forever!
-
Amy March : My nose will simply not look refined.

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.
-
Amy March : I want to be great or nothing.
-
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!
