• [Meg has twisted her ankle and Laurie took her home in his carriage] 

  Amy : He put snow on your ankle? With his own hands?

  Marmee : I won't have my girls being silly about boys. To bed! Jo dear.

  Amy : Everything lovely happens to Meg.

  Meg : [Sarcastically]  Oh yes, indeed.

• Jo March : [uncovers John's eyes]  Surprise!

  Marmee : John. You have a daughter.

  Hannah : And a son.

  [Marmee and Hannah hands the twins to John] 

  Meg : Oh, Marmee, I can't believe you did this four times.

  John Brooke : Yes, but never two at once, my darling.

• 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.

• Marmee : I fear you would have a long engagement, three or four years. John must secure a house before you can marry and do his service to the union.

  Jo : John? Marry? You mean that poky old Mr Brooke? How did he weasel his way into this family?

  Marmee : Jo! Mr Brooke has been very kind to visit father in the hospital every day.

  Jo : He's dull as powder Meg, can't you at least marry someone amusing?

  Meg : I'm fond of John, he's kind and serious and I'm not afraid of being poor.

  Jo : Marmee, you can't just let her go and marry him.

  Meg : I'd hardly just go and marry anyone.

  Marmee : I would rather Meg marry for love and be a poor man's wife than marry for riches and lose her self-respect.

  Meg : So, you don't mind that John is poor.

  Marmee : No, but I'd rather he have a house.

  Jo : Why must we marry at all? Why can't things just stay as they are?

  Marmee : It's just a proposal, nothing can be decided on. Now girls? Don't spoil the day.

• Jo : Meg? John Brooke stole your glove.

  Meg : Which glove? Not my white one.

  Jo : Laurie says he keeps it in his pocket. Hannah, don't you think he ought to give it back?

  Hannah : It isn't what I think that matters.

• Meg : Have you heard from the professor?

  Jo : No. No, we did not part well.

  Meg : Well, John and I don't always agree but then we mend it.

• Jo : Imagine, giving up Italy to come live with that awful old man.

  Meg : [Meg tsks]  Oh Jo, please don't say awful; it's slang.

• 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.

• Josephine 'Jo' March : You plastered yourself on him!

  Meg March : It's proper to take a gentleman's arm if it's offered!

• Younger Amy March : [Jo is curling Meg's hair]  What's that smell? Like burnt feathers.

  Jo : Aaahh!

  Meg : You've ruined me!
