Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' [upon seeing Jo's hair cut short] Christopher Columbus! What have you done to yourself? You look like a porcupine.

Jo March Really? I feel deliciously light and cool.

🧡

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mr. Laurence You think my face - frightens people, do you?

Jo March Yes. Sir. Frankly, I do. You understand, I don't think you *mean* to frighten them, but your face - well, you asked me, sir, and yes, I do think so.

Mr. Laurence And I *bark*, do I?

Jo March I've heard you bark. Yes, sir. Perhaps you don't bark all the time, but - you do bark. Yes, sir.

Mr. Laurence And with all that, you rather like me, do you?

Jo March Yes, I do. I really do, in spite of everything.

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' Now that everything came about the way you wanted it, it'll be like old times again.

Jo March No, Laurie. The old days can never come back. We can't be playmates any longer. We're man and woman now.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Amy Well! I don't think any of you suffered as I do. You don't have to go to school with impertinent girls who - label your father just because he's poor.

Jo March If you mean libel, then say so, and stop talking about labels as if Papa was a pickle bottle.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Professor Bhaer Oh, is Miss March in? Miss Josephine March?

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' She is. Won't you come in?

Professor Bhaer Oh no. No, thank you. She has guests.

Jo March Laurie? Laurie, where are you? Come and get your tea.

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' Just a minute, Jo.

Professor Bhaer Will you give this to her, please? Thank you.

Mr. March And, that's all, Jo. Dr. Barnes says there's nothing we can do.

Jo March Oh no, father, not Beth.

Mr. March These will be dark days for us, Jo, for you especially.

Mr. March Now dry your eyes, my child, for her sake. Don't let her see you cry.

🧡

🥱

[repeated line]

Jo March You're a trump.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Meg March Amy, you're too prim. If you don't take care, you're going to grow up and be an affected little goose.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Amy Why should I always be so ig-o-nor-ent?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Meg March Jo, now that you turn up your hair, you should realize you're a young lady.

Jo March I'm not! If turning up my hair makes me one, I'll wear it in two tails till I'm 90. I won't grow up and be Miss March. I won't wear long gowns and look like a China aster.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Meg March Don't use slang words, Jo.

Amy And stop whistling! It's so boyish.

Jo March That's why I do it!

Amy Oh, how I detest rude, unladylike girls.

Jo March And I hate affected, niminy-piminy chits.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Hannah Come and get your tea, girls.

Amy Don't we ever have coffee anymore?

Hannah Coffee is scarce and dear. The ships are needed in the war. There ain't no time to go to Brazil and bring back coffee for Miss Amy March.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Amy I planned my costume, too. It's absolutely plain, with all the colors of the rainbow in it.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Amy I am a princess, am I not?

Jo March Yes, you are a princess, but you don't know it. You think you're a servant girl working for Beth. I mean Hagar, the witch.

Amy A princess always knows she's a princess.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Amy I certainly don't think it's fair for some girls to have lots of lovely things and other prettier girls have nothing at all.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March Oh, I'll never get over my disappointment at not being a boy. Look at me! Dying to go and fight by Father's side, and here I am, sitting and knitting - like a poky old woman.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March I'm glad he's a boy. I'd certainly like to know a boy for a change and have a little fun.

Hannah Don't say such things.

Jo March I wonder how I could get to know him. I wish our cat would get lost and he'd bring it back. Then we'd get to talking.

Hannah I don't think that's very romantic.

Jo March Who said anything about romance?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Hannah Jo, you're disgracing us!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March Ha! I didn't know the old fusspot had a grandson.

🥱

Jo March Hannah, you do beat the Dutch!

Marmee March [reading aloud a letter from father] "Give my girls my love and a kiss. Tell them I think of them by day, pray for them by night, and find my best comfort in their affection at all times. I know they will remember all I said, that they will be loving children to you, will work diligently so that these hard times need not be wasted, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully, that when I come back to them, I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women."

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Aunt March Have you heard from that foolish father of yours, waltzing away to war and leaving others to take care of his family? It isn't preachers that will win this war, it's fighters!

Jo March We're very proud of father and you should be, too. And there's nobody looking out for us.

Aunt March Hoity-toity!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Marmee March We planned to visit you tomorrow, Auntie.

Aunt March You never know if there will be a tomorrow.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March Aunt March? You still want me to work for you, don't you?

Aunt March Fine time to ask me.

Jo March I'd like to be your companion.

Aunt March A companion should be companionable.

Jo March I will be, I promise.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March Oh, how I hate to be elegant!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March I've come to entertain you. I'll read aloud and you can listen. I do love to read aloud.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' Please don't go home. It's dull as tombs in here.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' Grandfather might not approve. He doesn't believe in being neighborly. He'd say I was imposing.

Jo March Oh, bilge!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March You may tell him we don't like anybody in our house. That is, we like a great many people, but we don't like young men. Oh, we like young men, too, but we don't like young men who wonder about who else we like. Meg is too young and far too clever to bother about who wonders about her. It's ridiculous! It's all ridiculous.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Amy Meg's still dancing with Mr. Brooke.

Beth March I bet she's getting dizzy.

Amy Why, you don't get dizzy when you look straight into your partner's eyes.

Beth March Why not?

Amy Well, because you don't see anything else. You don't see all that other stuff whirling around.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Marmee March Yes, Jo, I have a great many plans. I want you all to be beautiful, accomplished, and good. I want you to be admired and loved and respected. I want you to lead pleasant and useful lives. And I pray to the Lord to send you as little sorrow as he sees fit. Of course, I'm ambitious for you. Of course, I'd like to see you marry rich men, if you loved them. I'm no different from any other mother. But I'd rather see you as the happy wives of poor men, or even respectable old maids, than queens on thrones without peace or self-respect.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Beth March Someone cares, very, very much.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Beth March That's the biggest piano I ever saw. Why, it's bigger than our kitchen.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Meg March Where are your gloves?

Jo March Here, they're stained with lemonade. I didn't think I'd better wear them.

Amy Why, you must! You can tell a lady by her gloves.

Jo March Not this lady.

Hannah A lady, barehanded?

Meg March You have to have gloves.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Meg March I've never been so embarrassed in all my life. When are you going to stop your rude, romping ways?

Jo March Not till I'm old and stiff and need a crutch. Don't try to make me grow up before my time.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March If life is as hard as this, I don't know how we shall ever get through it.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Meg March Look at you! No hairpins, no combs, running down a public road!

Jo March I wish I was a horse.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Aunt March Somebody might remember me once in a while, too. Well, I hope everything turns out for the best, but I doubt it.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' Keep your secret. I've got one, too.

Jo March Something plummy?

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' Something *very* plummy.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' What is it, then?

Jo March A secret.

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' I thought we weren't going to have any secrets from each other. That's a girl for you.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' I got fidgety.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March Oh, Laurie. Dear Laurie. I didn't mean to fly at you like that, but you're such an angel - and I don't know how to thank you.

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' Fly at me again.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March It's ridiculous. Of all the sickly, sentimental rubbish. I'm disgusted.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Hannah Miss March! Miss March! It's one of those telegraph things.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' You'll feel differently, Jo, when someone falls in love with you. On a soft summer day, with the sun setting through the trees, and your lover's arms stealing around you.

Jo March Ha! I'd like to see anyone try it.

Theodore Laurence 'Laurie' Would you?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March You can't catch me!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Meg March I only wish I could find a proper way to thank you.

John Brooke Shall I - tell you how?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Aunt March Now let me tell you, Missy, if you marry this hook or rook or crook, not a penny of my money goes to you. You understand?

Meg March I shall marry who I please, Aunt March. And I don't care anything about your money.

Aunt March It is your duty to marry a rich man - and help your family, Miss Independence.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March Marmee, do something. Go downstairs, quick! John Brooke is acting dreadfully - and Meg likes it.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Aunt March What mischief is going on here? I insist on knowing. Who is this young man?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March I hope you don't think you're in love with him, because I can tell you you're not.

Meg March I'm not?

Jo March No, you can't be. Now, you see, Meg, I'm a writer. And I write about girls who are in love, so I know. You have none of the symptoms. You eat all right, you sleep like a log, you're not twittery or cross, and you don't mope in corners. Therefore, you're not in love!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Beth March I was wishing that Spring would come, Jo, and it has.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Professor Bhaer You will not be here. I will not see you. Whom will I go to the opera with? Who will sew on my buttons - when you are gone?

Jo March I may be back someday.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Professor Bhaer Oh, Miss Josephine. Please. Oh, I am so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. I want to help you. What a blundering fool I am.

Jo March Don't pay any attention to me. This has nothing to do with you. It's just that everything happens at once.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Aunt March Amy, you seem to forget that hansom cabs cost money. Now, that's the trouble with people who never had anything. Come easy, go easy.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March I have so many things to tell you, very plummy, too.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March "My senses fail, A burning fire devours me." Oh, if only I could write something like that. Something that would set other hearts on fire.

Professor Bhaer You truly like to write, then?

Jo March Oh, I love it! Writing is my life. Oh, I've scribbled ever since I was a child.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March Oh, think of all the wonderful things you're going to see: the Turners, the Raphaels, the Leonardos.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March I thought... Oh, what does it matter what I thought? I've made a mess of it, as I do with everything.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March If I can't stand the truth, I'm not worth anything.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March I've never been in New York before. And I've been looking forward to it. You see, I'm a writer - and I need the experience. New impressions. A writer should meet and study people. Search their souls. Figure out their problems. Oh, I know I'm going to love New York. I've always wanted to come here.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Marmee March You know, Jo, when you were little girls, I used to ask myself what would become of Meg and Beth and Amy. I've worried about Meg's longing for wealth. Beth's timidity. Amy's selfish little ways. But I never worried about you. You always seemed so sure of yourself. But lately, I find myself thinking of you more than the others. You often seem - sad.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Amy [Holding a pillow along with a little kitten] I made a will when you were sick, Beth.

Jo March You made a will?

Amy You needn't laugh. I left you my plaster rabbit and my bronze inkstand. After all, you lost the cover to it. I left Laurie my Clay model of a horse, even though he did say it didn't have a neck.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Beth March Oh, Jo, you mustn't be afraid. Doesn't it sound funny, me saying that to you when you've always said it to me? You've always reminded me of a sea gull, Jo. Strong and wild - and fond of the wind and storm - and dreaming of flying out to sea. And Marmee said I was the cricket on the hearth - content to stay at home. I can't express it very well. I guess I shouldn't even try, except to my Jo. But it seems I was never intended to live very long. I never planned what I would do when I grew up, like the rest of you did, because I could never bear the thought of leaving home. But I'm not afraid anymore, Jo. I've learned that I won't lose you, that nothing can really part us, though it seems to.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March Oh, you're so beautiful! And to think that only yesterday you were such a horrid little girl.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Amy You know, in Europe, one feels that dirt is so picturesque.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March It was always meant to be this way - and it would have come about anyway.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Beth March Jo, I think that I will be homesick for you - even in Heaven.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Professor Bhaer Laurie, your friend, something has happened to him?

Jo March Yes. Well, nothing happened to him, exactly. Something's happened to me.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Professor Bhaer [Last lines] Oh please. Please, Jo, just one moment before... I have a wish to ask something. Would you... I have no courage to think that... But if I could hope that... I know. I should not ask. I have nothing to give but my heart which is so full, and these empty hands.

Jo March Not empty now.

Professor Bhaer Oh, Jo!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jo March There's something inside me tonight that makes me want to shout.

Professor Bhaer And what would you shout?

Jo March I'd say: "Look at me, everybody. I'm Josephine March and I'm so happy."

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Sophie He's a professor. See, he learns 'em how they talk in foreign countries. But I don't see what good it does 'em when they're living right here.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Professor Bhaer I said to myself, "I maybe have no right to speak." But then I said to myself, "I maybe have no right not to speak - for you have talent."

Jo March You really think so?

Professor Bhaer Otherwise, I would not say it. You know that. And I say to you: Sweep mud in the street first, before you are false to that talent. Say it yourself: I will never write one single line, which I have not first felt in my own heart. Say to yourself: While I am young, I will write the simple, beautiful things I know and understand. Will you do that, my little friend?
