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.The wealthy Bannister and Michael talk about the latter""s desire to quit his job and his disinterest in making money.People give me things...because they believe in me."Willie is brought by Jack to Burden""s Landing to seek support from Judge Stanton and other guests during a reception in he Stanton estate.We gotta let ""em move in right under our noses and take it all away from us, or else.Gang: No!Riff: You""re damned right NO.So what are we gonna do buddy-boys?
