Quote context

[...]

- Oh, I know I'm not good enough for you, but... If you love me, you can make me anything you like.

- Oh, Laurie, I wouldn't change you. You should marry a lovely, accomplished girl who adores you. Someone who would give you the sort of life you really want. I wouldn't.

- We'd quarrel, and...

- Oh, no, no, we wouldn't.

- We always have, you know.

- And everything would be horrid.

- Oh, it'd be heaven.

- Jo, I just can't go on without you.

- I'm so sorry, Laurie... so desperately sorry... but I can't say I love you when I don't.

- Really and truly, Jo?

- Really and truly, Laurie.

- I don't think I'll ever marry.

- Oh, yes, you will. You'll meet some good-for-nothing fool and work and live and die for him. I know you will, because it's just your way! And I'm to stand by and see it all happen! Well, I'll be hanged if I will!

- Laurie, where are you going?

- To the devil!

- The months went by and Laurie and Jo scarcely saw each other.

- And then, through Aunt March, Jo heard of a position in New York... a good family in need of a governess.

Just look! Just look at that piano over there. Oh, isn't it perfectly absolute? -Why, it's bigger than our kitchen.

But it seems that 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.

Christopher Columbus! What a breakfast! Look! Kidney pie and sausage! Popovers and... and coffee! And everything!

Well, I am! I'm too proud to beg for anyone. I'd rather sweep the streets than ever come to you again!

Is that why you stand at your window looking at us?
