Act 1 lines

Little women play, Act 1-Scene 1

well I got Marmee some new [appropriate thing to put here]

(perks up) What? (Meg and Jo smile knowingly)

And I got her some gloves! Aint’ we something (they laugh and smile. Amy frowns) Amy? Girl, you okay?

 (sighs) Yeah.

What did you use your money to get?

Well I haven’t had a chance to get anything yet. But I was going to get some more paints and pastels. Marmee said I did such a good job on the art project and Mr. [what’s his name?] said it showed depth and “caricature”

And it certainly did show very realistic character, and not an unrealistic caricature.

Shut up! You know what I meant! Anyway, I haven’t spent it yet, but maybe I could get Marmee some more of that perfume she likes. She said she was out. If I got a small bottle, I might still have enough to get some art supplies. Oh, Meg! You must help me get it now so I can hand it to her when you give your presents.

It’s Christmas Day, my darling. But I think the drug store is open. If we leave soon, I’m sure we could get it before Marmee gets home

Oh, thank you, Meg! (hugs her and leaves to get dressed) I’ll get dressed and get my money.

Ahhhhhh! So I lost my hand, but not my prowess and skill with a sword. And so, I finally captured my nemesis’ girlfriend, Wendy

Oh no! I am tied up! I hate you, evil pirate man! If only someone could come and save meeee

Oh. Well, something like this (plays the keyboard)

 We’re back!

So fast! How’d you get back so quick?

We didn’t even have to walk all the way there! On the way, Mr. Lawrence from next door was driving past and asked if we wanted a ride and he drove us to our disposition!

Won’t it be nice to have a boy live next door! Maybe he’ll do stuff with us.

He’s so handsome

Amy, did you get the perfume?

Oh, I did! I was going to get the little one and maybe use some extra to get some art supplies, but I didn’t want to be stodgy.

You don’t have to be satirical about it! And any way, successful people have a big vocabilary

Well, of course our sweet Amy shouldn’t be stingy.
