And I studied so hard and I graduated with honors, it was all for you....Then won""t ya listen? Please.I""ve loved you ever since I""ve known you.I couldn""t help it.I""ve tried to show it, but you wouldn""t let me.But now I""m going to make you hear it and give me an answer...for I just can""t go on so any longer.I know I""m not half good enough for you.But, well, if you love me, you can make me anything you like.Jo tries to dissuade his romantic intentions: "As hough I""d change you, Laurie.Laurie, you should marry some lovely, accomplished girl who adores you.Someone who would grace your beautiful house.I shouldn""t.I loathe elegant society and you like it.And you hate my scribbling and I can""t get on without it.And we should quarrel...oh yes, we always have, you know...And everything would be so horrid if we were ever foolish enough to (marry)..." - she rejects his proposal and then apologizes: "I can""t.Oh, Laurie, I""m sorry.So desperately sorry...I don""t think I""ll ever marry."Another of the most memorable scenes is Jo""s return to care for her sister Beth (suffering a recurrence of scarlet fever), followed by Beth""s moving death scene.They lured the beast into the foundry mold, using a bait-and-chase strategy, where they drowned it with hot lead - when it was rapidly cooled from water sprayed by a fire sprinkler, it shattered.You caught Toots and me at a bad time.We were ready to bite anybody""s head off.Especially a certain blonde""s.Look, five of us, we come down here for the deep-sea fishing all the way from Milwaukee.More than a year, we""d been planning to come down here and fish our brains out.So what happens? One guy brings a blonde.And after we all swore up and down, no dames! But he""s gotta bring her, this guy.Well, if she isn""t drunk and crying, she""s got a hangover and arguing.One minute she gets sore at you and won""t talk to you at all.The next, she""s makin"" a play for you right in front of the guy! And he gets sore at us, mind you, not her.What took ya so long? (She grabbed his knife) You failed, Michael.You want to know why? Because I""m not afraid of you.But what about you? Are you afraid of me? Are you afraid to die, Michael?"After partially cutting the rope to drop him to his death, she decided to make sure it was actually him ("I just have to be sure") - and as she reached over to rip off his mask, he grabbed her arm.Nick: Thanks, Frank.Does it make you hungry?Frank: Unh unh.Thirsty.To entertain them, the middle-aged, affable proprietor strums on a guitar and sings a tune about his own marriage:I""m not much to look at, nothing to seeJust glad I""m living, lucky to beI""ve got a woman, crazy for meShe""s funny that wayAlthough she has "practically forgotten" how o dance, and is reluctant to dance with Frank in front of her husband, her resistance breaks down when she is encouraged to do so by the jovial Nick.
