- Josephine Barry: [to Anne] Cole has apprised me of your quest. A noble one. An inevitable one. An emotional one. But no matter what you learn, good, bad or indifferent, know that you are so much just as you are right now.
- Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: [about visiting the orphanage] To bring it into daylight, and realize nightmares aren't so scary without the protection of the dark.
- Winifred Rose: [while getting up, feigning a slip] Oh! Oh!
- [grabs his arm]
- Gilbert Blythe: I'm sorry...
- Winifred Rose: I thought The best part of knowing the rules is finding acceptable ways of breaking them. You have much to learn.
- Gilbert Blythe: I expect I'll need a second lesson.
- Gilbert Blythe: [having a tea date] So Winifred How old are you?
- Winifred Rose: Is this your first time, Mr. Blythe?
- Gilbert Blythe: Hmm. What gave it away?
- Winifred Rose: Why don't I talk you through this? I pour, you pay. We're not to talk about anything so interesting as ages, politics, dreams. And if you're having fun, you're doing it wrong.
- Gilbert Blythe: Hmm. Seems like you've done this before.
- Winifred Rose: And I've always been bored. Acceptable topics include the weather, but that's low-hanging fruit - the decor, a sermon given at church recently. And you should compliment my...
- Gilbert Blythe: Oh, your your hair...
- Winifred Rose: Ah, trick question! No compliments. Shall we start over?
- Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: [interrupting Cole reading her childhood orphanage writings] It's so stupid! Can't you see? I thought I WAS Princess Cordelia! I spent my life here in full, lunatic imagination! And now I don't know what's real. What else did I tell myself? What if my parents aren't dead? What if they just dumped me here 'cause they just didn't want me? I can't remember who told me they loved me. What if I made that up like everything else? I'm such a fool. It's pathetic.
- [first lines]
- Marilla Cuthbert: [at the train station] Don't talk to any strangers.
- Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: Of course!
- Marilla Cuthbert: Don't accept any rides.
- Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: Of course.
- Marilla Cuthbert: And stay close to Gilbert at all times. And you're quite certain you have everything? The-the-the fare for the train back, and the ferry?
- Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: Of course.
- Marilla Cuthbert: Because Lord knows what'll happen if you get stranded somewhere, and... Goodness, Anne!
- [starts wiping something on her head]
- Marilla Cuthbert: You are how you present yourself. If you look like an urchin, heaven knows the danger you'll attract! Do you know what sort of people ride trains?
- Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: [clearly embarrassed in front of Gilbert] Me! I ride trains. And I've ridden many without you before! And need I remind you that I'm a veteran voyager!
- Marilla Cuthbert: Matthew, give her another penny for food, just in case. You know what she's like when she's on one of her adventures. She forgets to eat. And before you know, And before you know, sh-sh-she's weakened and and face-down in a ditch!
- Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: Marilla! I, I never did that! Despite your distrust, I do appreciate you allowing me this quest to learn about my family.
- [escaping onto the train]
- Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: I just know it's gonna yield something remarkable! It's gonna fill a void that I didn't even know I had...
- Rachel Lynde: You're never gonna catch a man if you can't stop behaving like one.
- Miss Stacy: Catch a man? Is it like fishing? Because I do so enjoy fishing.
- Rachel Lynde: It is beyond me why you don't take this spinster business seriously.
