Quotes 

• Louise Bigelow : I didn't make it up, Mother. Honest, there was a strange man here, and he hit me hard. I heard the sound of it, Mother, but it didn't hurt. It didn't hurt at all. It was just as if he kissed my hand.

  Julie Jordan : Go into the house, Louise.

  Louise Bigelow : What's happened, Mother? Don't you believe me?

  Julie Jordan : I believe you.

  Louise Bigelow : Then why don't you tell me why you're actin' so funny?

  Julie Jordan : It's nothin', darlin'.

  Louise Bigelow : But is it possible, Mother, for someone to hit you hard like that - real loud and hard, and it not hurt you at all?

  Julie Jordan : It is possible dear, for someone to hit you, hit you hard, and it not hurt at all.

  [they embrace] 

• Clem : You being Julie's only kinfolk, I thought you oughta know. Ain't seen that barker from the carousel, neither.

  Nettie : If you ain't got any better than them...

  Clem : Oh, I got better, I got better. Could be accidental, them both disappearin' at 't' same time. All the same, it does look a mite peculiar.

  Nettie : Nobody in our family ever did anythin' to be ashamed of, Clem Poops. Now you just find me a couple of good big lobsters or git!

  Julie Jordan : [enters from a distance]  Cousin Nettie!

• Billy Bigelow : Hey! You tryin' to get me to marry ya?

  Julie Jordan : No!

  Billy Bigelow : Well then what's puttin' it into my head?

• Billy Bigelow : I wonder what it'd be like?

  Julie Jordan : If you loved me? But you don't.

  Billy Bigelow : No I don't.

• Julie Jordan : [singing]  And, what's the use of wonderin' / If the endin' will be sad? / He's your feller and you love him / There's nothin' more to say.
