...With My Mother
Her: "I know you said I wasn't allowed to ask questions during this, but can I ask just one?"
Me: "Okay...."
Her: "Aren't there supposed to be five daughters?"
Me: "What, you think there's a fifth one hidden in a closet somewhere, just waiting to make a grand entrance?"
Her: "Yes. Maybe."

Me: "Ugh, Amy is the worst."
Her: "Yes, and good things always happen to her."
Me: "Right? She gets to go to Europe, marry Laurie.... Sometimes I like to imagine a different ending for her, though."
Her: "Like what?"
Me: "Like one where she has to marry Mr. Wickham."

Marmee March, talking to Meg about John Brooke's proposal: "Yes, but I'd prefer [John] had a house [before you marry]!"
Me: "If you were required to have a house before you got married nowadays, nobody would ever get married except for middle-aged people going into their second marriage."
Her: *sad nod*
* * *
Laurie: *proposes to Jo*
Me: "I'm kind of glad she says no at this point. They're both so young."
Her: "No, they're older! Remember, it said 'Four Years Later'."
Me: "Yes, but look at his face."
Her: "Yes, such a baby face."
One scene later:
Laurie, growing facial hair as we speak: "YOU WERE SAYING...???"
