Little Women Edit

A day of work in its life, and that ring is ridiculous.

A fellow can't live on books alone.

A friend of mine desired me to offer a story by her.

A letter from Father!

A letter from the old gentleman.

A minute sooner than he can be spared.

A new play written by Miss Jo March

A prize?

A proper young lady, just see if it doesn't.

After he went off with an Italian woman.

Ah, It's cold.

Ahem, $50, while a lot, is not, I suppose,

Ahh, Jo!

All be together with Father and Mother.

All of my painting lessons, of course.

All right, Jo! Jo! Jo! Please get off her!

All right, that's, uh...

All right, then read.

All right.

All the way from Europe with her preening?

All those boring hours reading to her.

Also, I want 10 percent of royalties.

Although it does sound odd

Although she was a terrific fainter.

Although there is one thing.

Always given before is known the cost or the reward.

Amy has always had a talent

Amy March!

Amy off to Europe.

Amy, don't be mad at me. I'm sorry for how I behaved.

Amy, I'm so happy for you.

Amy, please. Amy.

Amy, you've got it.

AMY: And what will Demi do?

AMY: Fred, I...

AMY: Hurry up! Meg's gonna be gone for a week.

AMY: I have never seen you so happy. What else is love?

AMY: I thought he was a mean old man.

AMY: I'm making a mold of my foot for Laurie

AMY: I'm sorry, Jo.

AMY: Is there nothing I can do?

AMY: It would look good on me.

AMY: Laurie, when are you going back to your grandfather?

AMY: Laurie.

AMY: Welcome, Laurie.

AMY: When did you last see it?

AMY: You're going somewhere with Laurie.

Amy!

Amy!

Amy.

Amy.

An economic proposition, even in fiction.

And a family. And I'm willing to work and struggle.

And an old soul, which is more important than money.

And as a woman, there's no way for me to make my own money.

And become an ornament to society.

And besides...

And conquer themselves so beautifully."

And Daisy and Demi need new clothes.

And do fine pictures and be the best painter in the world.

And don't just quietly go away, Beth.

And don't sneak around.

And everything will be horrid.

And give me an answer because I cannot go on like this!

And give you five more limes besides.

And go get the horses ready? Thank you.

And have maids wait on me. Ah!

And he's a very accomplished man.

And his wife needs a new dress.

And I am his wife.

And I don't care if Hugo comes at me with a pistol.

And I don't intend to try anymore.

And I don't want your opinion

And I have no idea why.

And I have to agree, they aren't very promising.

And I hear Meg has had her head turned

And I love my liberty too well

And I made sure to keep hold of my money.

And I need a companion,

And I painted my old shoes blue, so she looks like a princess!

And I realize I'm not half good enough

And I really am very sorry that you've had to do

And I really did want to hurt you.

And I see that you have already met our professor.

And I think...

And I wanted to go fight with him.

And I was worried you'd be angry at me.

And I will hate her. I will hate her forever!

And I will not be some commonplace dauber,

And I'll be back as soon as I can. Love you.

And I'll watch.

And I'm a failure.

And I'm in debt. I owe ever so many limes.

And I'm not Mr. Laurence, I'm only Laurie.

And I'm so sick of people saying

And I'm tired of being poor.

And I've written sad notes, and I've cried over my sins...

And ice. Laurie, how are your ankles?

And if it does well, we'll both make money.

And if the main character's a girl,

And make up their own minds about things.

And Meg told me to keep still so no one would see it.

And no amount of energy can make it so.

And now that you're a graduate, you'll be off on a long holiday.

And others have nothing?

And Paris made me realize I'd never be a genius,

And people have always said that I'm talented.

And pitying me because I don't.

And practice on it now and then? Just to keep it in tune.

And she got a prize for a tale at the Blarneystone Banner.

And spends his time in that house locked up with his tutor.

And sweaters.

And thank you for today's festivities.

And thank you, Mr. Laurence, for including me.

And that you're married to someone

And that's a good price.

And the world will forget that you ever even lived.

And then just say some kind thing.

And then won't we be grand, the two of us?

And there's nothing to eat.

And they've got ambition and they've got talent,

And thus, I propose this set of keys

And too lofty to bend.

And until she marries someone obscenely wealthy,

And we brought some medicine.

And we should let them keep their labor.

And we will be interesting forever.

And we would be unhappy.

And we'd wish we hadn't done it,

And we'll all be together soon, all right?

And wear this to the ball. It was mine when I was your age.

And what a happy end.

And what a lovely surprise it is.

And what about the girls?

And who always declares genius?

And would add immensely to the spirit of the club.

And you begin again tomorrow.

And you should have a life on the stage.

And you shouldn't go home until you and Fred Vaughn

And you'll see that I'm right eventually,

And you'll thank me for it.

And you'll wish you had behaved better.

And you're not entirely wrong.

And your indigent parents in their old age.

And your many kindnesses,

And your mother says that you are a writer.

And your novel...

And, as I have nothing keeping me here,

Any of your girls like to run over

Anything ever seen before on the American stage.

Are properly engaged.

Are you chasing some young girl across Europe?

Are you excited?

Are you in love?

Are you publishing this?

Are you upset?

Aren't you ashamed of a hand like that?

As a Christmas present?

As a means of promoting

As a slight token of my gratitude that I...

As escort to your mother.

As her companion.

As long as you love him.

As well as just beauty.

As well as just hearts.

As well as mathematics, huh?

Aunt March is very ill, so Laurie will accompany them.

AUNT MARCH: Oh, don't have to make a fuss.

AUNT MARCH: The Decadents have ruined Paris, if you ask me.

Back to work.

Be good to each other. Pray for Father's recovery.

Because he smuggled his poetry in popular works.

Because I don't like you very much.

Because I love him.

Because I'm not a writer.

Because it is known?"

Because men are suffering in the Army.

Because of what?

Because people don't write about them.

Because she didn't want to ruin Amy's trip.

Because we can't help it even now.

Because you enjoyed the play so much tonight,

Beth insisted we not tell her

Beth is sick, Jo is a lost cause,

Beth very good. And Amy sort of middling.

Beth was the best of us.

Beth, after shopping, I need you

Beth, look what they got you!

Beth, what's your favorite eye color?

BETH: Father!

BETH: Jo.

BETH: Merry Christmas.

BETH: Out here with no sleeves.

BETH: That's nice, huh?

BETH: Who will you dance with, Jo?

Beth?

Beth.

BOY: Where is she? She's here, everyone!

Boys scare me, and that big old house scares me.

Brava!

But do you love him?

But I ask after your mother.

But I can never go home again because I'm in such trouble.

But I can see it so plainly. You love him.

But I have got a surprise.

But I intend to go to Europe one more time

But I intend to make my own way in the world.

But I love it better when you read stories you've written.

But I think it is probably quite boring.

But I want to do it with John.

But I wish I could hear the music.

But I'm working on a novel.

But I'm... I'm so lonely.

But it just doesn't seem to help.

But my favorite one is to be an artist in Paris

But my grandfather was more handsome.

But none so well as her.

But now I have changed.

But that is to say that now we are man and wife.

But the love I feel for Amy, it's different.

But two were killed, and one is a prisoner.

But we can't possibly do them all.

But with nearly 40 years of effort,

But you don't want your mother to find you like this, do you?

But you know I'll be a friend to lean on, if you'll let me.

But you will be if he goes down properly on one knee?

But you're never angry.

But, Jo, dear, you have a guest.

But, please, send more stories

By a penniless tutor, so...

By ruining one of your dresses,

By the time Amy gets back.

Can't believe childhood is over.

Can't say I blame you.

Can't you send home for another?

Come here.

Come on!

Come over whenever you'd like. Invite Beth as well.

Come to the New Year's Eve party.

Come. Come on.

Coming to take Meg away? No, thank you.

Coming!

CONDUCTOR: Excuse me. Excuse me.

Could we still be friends, Jo, please?

Couldn't go in, knowing she wouldn't be there.

Couldn't let you travel alone with Aunt March being so sick.

Couldn't lift a hairbrush.

DAISY & DEMI: Mommy!

Daisy and Demi! Can I have a hug?

DASHWOOD: Dear Miss March,

DASHWOOD: I love it. It's romantic.

Didn't you say your family needed the money immediately?

Do it for someone else.

Do what Marmee taught us to do.

Do you have anyone to take you seriously, Jo,

Do you have sons in the Army?

Do you intend to stay in New York?

Do you love him?

Do you miss him?

Do you need anything? Here.

Do you think he'll ask me again?

Do you think this is a good idea, her going away like this?

Do you though? Do you feel better?

Do you want to know what I think of you?

Doesn't Laurie seem so romantic?

Doesn't mean they're unimportant.

Don't be a baby and whine about it.

Don't be, Amy. I... I'm not.

Don't go fall in love.

Don't go quietly.

Don't I wish I could go?

Don't leave.

Don't let the sun go down on your anger.

Don't marry him.

Don't marry him.

Don't mind the clutter, Mr. Laurence. We don't.

Don't play mother just because she's not home.

Don't say "Columbus," don't say "capital."

Don't say such despicable things.

Don't stare, don't put your hands behind your back,

Don't understand it.

Don't whistle.

Don't you dance?

Enclosed are the first few chapters

Europe! Oh, that's capital!

Even before anyone knew or paid you.

Even if you despise me.

Even when you know I've seen her.

Ever since I've known you.

Everyone benefited from the system,

Everyone loves you in it.

Everyone will be there, including Fred.

Everyone's in love with you, Daisy.

Except get a carriage or stay all night.

Except that...

Excuse me?

Excuse me. Your stop, ma'am.

Fifty dollars? What was I thinking?

Fight.

Fine. Aye.

Fine. I'll go myself.

Fine. Just do Mr. Davis.

First time I met Fred.

Five percent of the net profits, after I recoup.

Five point five percent. That's very generous.

Fonder and prouder than ever..."

For a little post office I've made in the forest by the pond.

For fashion one of these days.

For getting out of the hard parts of life.

For the male roles or play a girl.

For your fine house, but I wouldn't.

Forgive her.

Frankly, I don't see why she didn't marry the neighbor.

Fred Vaughn, ladies and gentlemen!

Fred!

FRIEDRICH: For the writer in the attic.

FRIEDRICH: She's gone? Why?

Friendly relations between adjoining nations.

From here to the Mississippi River, Miss Meg March.

From the mouth of one of your mother's girls.

GIRL: President Lincoln.

Girls have to go into the world

Girls want to see women married, not consistent.

Girls, why don't you unpack the food?

Giving your Christmas breakfast away.

Giving yourself away to get the other.

Go after her. Don't say anything

Go and work for your grandfather and make something of yourself.

Go play.

Go to school with those girls.

Good morning, sir. Good day.

Good. That man has always been an idiot.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodness gracious. What have you done?

Goodness only knows. Some poor creature came a begging.

Grace and good disposition attend Your Ladyship.

Hannah is in charge.

Hannah, make a clear broth.

HANNAH: Do we need more books or cloth?

HANNAH: I think the loneliness got to Beth,

HANNAH: You wore those pink shoes?

Hannah! It's all right. It's all right.

Has anyone else lost their toe?

Has anyone taken my novel?

Has Meg perhaps mislaid a glove?

Has no one ever talked to you like this before?

Have fun, little Daisy.

Have you all had it before?

Haven't written any.

He is not well.

He volunteered for the Union Army.

He wanted you to enjoy the day.

He was practically begging for a reason to stay.

He won't respond to any of my letters.

He would make a terrific friend for me.

He'll be so pleased with how you look,

He'll forget all about the expense.

He'll stay and work faithfully as long as he can.

He's a very kind man who lost his little girl

He's in London on business. He'll be back in a few weeks.

He's rich. Richer than you, even.

He's still traveling. I'm on my own now, relaxing.

He's turned out to be.

Hello there. Are you hurt?

Hello.

Hello. For Mr. Laurence.

Hello. I'm back. And have food and blankets.

Hello. I'm Josephine March.

Help each other.

Help your sister, then back to bed.

Help! I can't breathe!

Her five children are in one bed to keep from freezing,

Here.

Here. Hannah, we need ice!

Here's another Christmas gift for the March family.

Hm?

Hm?

Hm.

Hm...

Hold on. It's okay.

Hold on. Let me just get this idea down.

Honestly, uh...

How am I gonna get home?

How come some girls have pretty things

How could I say it?

How do I look? Do I look all right?

How is she? Is there anything I can do?

How you've grown.

How's Amy? Did she bother you

However, I'm sending it to you just in case

Huh. Well, what about a payment up front?

Hurry. I'll be late.

I always go myself. You haven't kept up with your tasks.

I always leave early. I do, truly.

I am the most sorry for it now. I'm so sorry.

I assume she's still alive.

I believe we have some power over who we love.

I burnt your book. I told you I'd make you pay, and I did!

I can believe it.

I can make money. I'll sell stories.

I can't afford it, my dear.

I can't afford to lose this position.

I can't because...

I can't change how I feel, and...

I can't get over my disappointment in being a girl.

I can't go, I'm spoiled!

I can't love anyone else, Jo. I only love you.

I can't. It's... I just can't.

I care more to be loved.

I could come last time. Jo!

I could hurt anyone, and I'd enjoy it.

I couldn't be.

I couldn't believe Jo turned you down. I'm so sorry.

I couldn't bring myself to, uh...

I couldn't help it.

I couldn't help it.

I did a drawing, and then Mr. Davis hit me.

I didn't even say anything.

I didn't go to her. I couldn't bear to.

I didn't recognize you. You're so beautiful.

I do my best, Meg.

I do that for us. I don't need anyone else to hear it.

I do think, male or female,

I do.

I don't despise you, Laurie.

I don't do that anymore.

I don't have any new stories.

I don't know how you do things here yet.

I don't know that I will, but thank you.

I don't know why.

I don't know. She just left.

I don't like fuss and feathers.

I don't like sneaks.

I don't like your dress, but I think you are just splendid.

I don't mean to waste money, but I can't resist

I don't miss a thing.

I don't see how you write such splendid things.

I don't see what you can do,

I don't see why I can't love you as you want me to.

I don't suppose it's too much of an extravagance.

I don't think I can anymore.

I don't think so.

I don't want chords. I want to go to the theater.

I don't want to be a burden.

I don't want to be sent away.

I don't want to see you.

I don't want you to be unhappy.

I don't wish to offend.

I doubt that a sincere friend would be deterred.

I enjoy baking in the middle of the night.

I feel I should go back. They all say, "Stay."

I feel ridiculous. I don't wanna look it.

I feel sorry for you. I really do.

I felt rather strange at first, you know?

I found these linens.

I gave up everything you didn't like. I'm happy I did.

I had to thank him for allowing me

I have an idea of how we can manage.

I have lovely small feet, the best in the family.

I have made the most divine crown,

I have no idea.

I have to finish this story.

I have to go back, and I don't have any limes.

I haven't got it, I don't know where it is, and I don't care.

I hope you will be happy now...

I hope you'll do a great deal better than me.

I I can't.

I just didn't love him as I should.

I just feel like...

I just hate that you're leaving me.

I just wish you'd bear it better.

I just... I'm so worried for Beth.

I keep a diary, you know.

I knew what you were going to say. I'm not acting.

I know he did. We should make friends with him.

I know I'm not half so good as my sister,

I know it's silly, but please don't tell Jo.

I know Joseph. Pretty well, actually.

I know the dressmaker to send you to.

I know you don't care much about marriage now.

I know you don't care what I think,

I know you would.

I know you're angry, John.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know. I am.

I know. Well, I'm here now.

I know. You brought my sister back after the dance.

I like strong words that mean something.

I like your nose.

I love it dearly. And I'll come

I love to listen to you read, Jo,

I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong.

I mean, I... I think that they're not good.

I mean, what do you intend to do?

I might.

I miss everything.

I miss you more than I can express.

I need the rent on time.

I never saw anyone faint. I don't intend

I only speak English. I'm sorry, what?

I pray for a quick recovery.

I promise honesty and whatever intelligence I can muster.

I pronounce you man and wife.

I propose...

I read the chapters you sent

I really can't take any more of this.

I ruined our friendship with my temper,

I said hi to the horses. They're very nice.

I said, these French women

I scorched my dress. See? There.

I see.

I see. It seems like something I would want to own, no?

I should have given it to you long ago.

I should sell it, but I'd love to do something

I sold the fabric to Sallie.

I started something, but I don't think it's very good.

I stopped it before.

I suppose marriage has always been

I think it was meant this way.

I think Meg should be the director.

I think the poets might disagree.

I think the purple is very fitting for Mr. Laurence.

I think we would've killed each other.

I think you will marry.

I think you'd hate to poke in where you're not wanted.

I thought he was very well mannered.

I thought I might go west.

I thought she hated me.

I took care to have a few of my sinners repent.

I tried to show and you wouldn't let me.

I try to be contented, but it is hard.

I understand queens of society can't get on without money,

I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife.

I visited the Hummels.

I waited an hour for you.

I wanna help with the money I make and not worry her.

I want a home.

I want to be great or nothing.

I want to be loved.

I want to own my own book.

I want to say one thing and then put it away forever.

I want you to have that dress.

I wanted to explain, but everything was happening so fast

I wanted to write, Jo. I wanted to write.

I wanted you to have this.

I was afraid of this.

I was close by, and I thought I'd...

I was just crazy to do something for Father.

I was wrong to turn you down and to run away to New York.

I was young and stupid.

I will not be the person you settle for

I will take my seat as part of the club.

I will. I'll wear my best silk.

I wish all the girls would leave

I wish all the letters were from Mother and not Mr. Brooke.

I wish I could go to the debutante ball.

I wish I had money and plenty of servants,

I wish it was Christmas every day.

I wish she could help others at a time convenient to us.

I wish that were true.

I wish to propose the admission of a new member.

I wish to see Mr. Dashwood.

I wish you were here to teach them.

I won't. I won't do it.

I won't. Not when I've spent my entire life loving you.

I wonder how she managed to turn so white.

I would feel the same way.

I would like to see someone try as well.

I would love to read what you're writing,

I would never leave if you wish me to stay.

I would.

I would've never have sprained my ankle.

I... But I...

I... I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay.

I... I just told Fred Vaughn I wouldn't marry him.

I... Yes, I do.

I'd be so excited about tonight.

I'd go myself if I was any use, but as I ain't, I give my boys.

I'd hate elegant society, you'd hate my scribbling,

I'd like that more than anything.

I'd like to open a school.

I'd like to see anyone try.

I'd rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe.

I'd rather hang myself than realize this.

I'll be desperately good for the rest of my life.

I'll be good for you, St. Amy. I'll be good.

I'll do anything. I'll cook. I'll clean.

I'll keep it in my head and sing it for you.

I'll look in on the girls without fail.

I'll never get to go home again.

I'll only plague him if I go,

I'll open a school for boys and girls both.

I'll stop it.

I'll take this off.

I'll work in a factory. I can make a life for us.

I'm a failure.

I'm afraid it would be too disagreeable for you.

I'm Amy March. You remember that name.

I'm angry nearly every day of my life.

I'm coming!

I'm famished.

I'm Friedrich Bhaer.

I'm glad he's with her.

I'm glad Mother doesn't make me

I'm going to call you Daisy now.

I'm going to lose my foot. Ow!

I'm going to the other,

I'm going!

I'm gonna find you one day in London.

I'm happy as I am,

I'm homely, I'm awkward, and I'm odd.

I'm just a woman.

I'm just not good like Beth, so I'm angry and restless.

I'm just trying to fix this hair.

I'm learning to not let it get the better of me.

I'm making a popcorn garland.

I'm not leaving you.

I'm not marrying Fred.

I'm not responsible for this feast,

I'm not scared of anyone. He looks stern,

I'm prepared to give you 5 percent of the royalties.

I'm so glad to see you so happy. How's your play?

I'm so grateful to you, and I'm so proud of you, and I just...

I'm so sick of it.

I'm so sorry, but I just can't help it.

I'm so sorry, Teddy.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. Oh, my sister, my sister.

I'm sorry to intrude, but...

I'm sorry, John.

I'm sorry, my sweet, but Jo is right.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'll continue.

I'm starving.

I'm sure I'll never see him again.

I'm the one taking the risk in printing this book.

I'm very sick, and you must do what I say.

I've always been quite content with my family.

I've always known I would marry rich.

I've always loved you.

I've been shut up here. I never get to go anywhere.

I've been writing an opera.

I've done it now.

I've got a sweet dress laid away.

I've made so many resolutions,

I've missed you.

I've never understood saving jewelry until marriage.

I've never wished for money more than now.

I've spent most of my life in Europe.

I've spent my whole life ashamed of my country.

I've tried and failed. I can't.

If he asked me again, I think I would say yes.

If I can fall down easily, I'll drop.

If I cannot, I shall fall gracefully into a chair.

If I couldn't be loved.

If I had my own money, which I don't,

If I was a girl in a book, this would all be so easy.

If not, I can stay in business.

If she had died, it would have been my fault.

If they don't care to come, why, then never mind.

If we had children, they would be his, not mine.

If you are quite sure nobody will hear me and be disturbed.

If you are very good, one day, this ring will belong to you.

If you ever come to California, I would love to see you.

If you know so much about it,

If you'll trust me.

In the course of the next few weeks that will surpass

Including you Marches.

Indeed. Quite right.

Intellectuals and Europeans...

Into marriage for money, I might as well get some of it.

Invitations, scoldings and even puppies."

Is more proper, I believe.

Is she going to be like this forever?

Is the best nurse a man could ask for.

Is there a reason you stopped reading Belsham?

Is there any news? What does she say?

Is there anything more?

Is this where you say that Father would want us to?

It can't be worse than some people find in big houses.

It could suit as a story for young people,

It didn't save her.

It doesn't have any real importance.

It doesn't matter.

It goes out slowly, but it can't be stopped.

It has something of value, though I doubt it.

It is new there, and they are

It is very hard to lose a sister.

It isn't something that just happens to a person.

It may not be for you, but it most certainly is for me.

It must be so disagreeable to sleep in a tent.

It occurred to me today

It was a real pleasure, Mr. Bhaer.

It was a very hard loss for her.

It was going to end one way or another.

It was meant to be a surprise.

It was so ungrateful and wicked.

It was the day at the beach.

It will be a difficult winter for everyone.

It will be like this?

It will help you study character and paint it with your pen.

It won't be worth printing.

It would be a disaster if we married.

It would be a lie to say I do when I don't.

It would give me satisfaction to be of service to her there.

It would make us so happy if you'd play now.

It'll be good for my vanity anyway.

It'll be up to you to support them all.
