Aunt March
- Aunt March: The decadents have ruined Paris, if you ask me. These French women couldn't lift a hairbrush.
- Aunt March: Your father cared more about educating freedmen's children than he did about caring for his own family.
- Jo March: Yes, but he was right.
- Aunt March: It's possible to be right - and foolish.
- Jo March: There are precious few ways for women to make money.
- Aunt March: That's not true. You could run a cat house, or go on the stage. Practically the same thing. Other than that, you're right, precious few ways for women.
- Aunt March: If you are very good, one day this ring will belong to you.
- Amy March: Really?
- Aunt March: If you keep being a proper young lady, just see if it doesn't. You are your family's hope now. Beth is sick, Jo is a lost cause, and I hear Meg has had her head turned by a penniless tutor. So, it'll be up to you - to support them all, and your indigent parents in their old age. So you must marry well - and save your family.
- Aunt March: That Laurence boy was just here.
- Amy March: He was?
- Aunt March: What a disappointment he's turned out to be. It must be the Italian in him.
