  Laurey : Gracious! What'd I want to marry you for?

  Curly : Uh, well, I dunno, couldn't you maybe think up some reason why you might?

• Laurey : [comes out holding laundry hamper] 

  [singing] 

  Laurey : Oh, what a beautiful mornin'! Oh, what a beautiful day.

  Laurey : [sees curly] 

  [speaking] 

  Laurey : Oh, thought you were somebody.

  Laurey : [continues singing while hanging clothesline]  I got a beautiful feeling, ev'rythin's goin' my way.

  Laurey : [looks at Curly and Aunt Eller]  Is this all that's come a-callin' an' already 10 o'clock on a Saturday mornin'?

• Laurey : Curly, you're sittin' on a stove!

  Curly : [yelps, jumps up, feels bottom, feels stove]  It's cold as a hunk a ice.

  [curly and laurey laugh] 

• Laurey : I don't see why this had to happen when everything was so fine.

  Aunt Eller : Now don't let your mind run on it.

  Laurey : [sobbing]  I won't ever forget, I tell ya. Never will.

  Aunt Eller : That's alright, Laurey baby. You can't forget, just don't try to. Oh, lots of things happen to folks. Sickness or being poor and hungry, being old and a feared to die. That's the way it is, cradle to grave, and you can stand it. There's just one way: you gotta be hardy. You gotta be. You can't deserve the sweet and tender in life unless'n you're tough.

  Laurey : I wisht I was the way you are!

  Aunt Eller : Oh, fiddlesticks. Scrawny and old... why, you couldn't hire me to be the way I am.

• Laurey : Who's that?

  Will Parker : Aw, it's me, Laurey! Hey, have you seen Ado Annie? She's gone, again.

  Laurey : Will?

  Will Parker : Uh huh.

  Laurey : Could you do something for me? Go and find Curly and tell him I'm here?

  [crying] 

  Laurey : I wanna see Curly real bad.

  [Curly enters the corral, puts hands on hips] 

  Laurey : I gotta see him real bad!

  Curly : Then whyn't you turn around and look then, you crazy woman!
