Quotes

Josie Pye : [group of girls catching Gilbert coming out of church] Anne has a question...
Anne Shirley-Cuthbert : Is it true that women of intelligence and passio uh emotion, are doomed to be infertile? Is that how re-pro-duction works?
Gilbert Blythe : Ahem. Um There's nothing I've seen in my medical experience that would lead me to believe that. So, uh, no... Is that all?
Tillie Boulter : [whispering into her ear] The steps. Ask him.
Gilbert Blythe : Well, good day, then...

Ruby Gillis : [panicked] I .. What if I'm pregnant? My mother said if I so much as go near a boy, I might get pregnant, and if a boy touches me, then I'll certainly get pregnant! So I must be. You all could be!
Anne Shirley-Cuthbert : How could this be?
Tillie Boulter : [staring in horror at both of her hands, having danced with two boys] But who's the father?
Josie Pye : [turning to Miss Stacy] How could you let this happen?
Miss Stacy : Girls, girls, please, calm yourselves. I can assure you, no one will become pregnant from dancing.
Ruby Gillis : But there was so much touching!
Miss Stacy : That's not how it works. It's not, uh, topical. There are many steps to conceiving. First, courtship. Then, of course, marriage. Then you and your husband m-m-m-may, well, with your consent, go down that cherished path to parenthood. Together. Is that clear? Good.
Ruby Gillis : I'm afraid to dance.
Miss Stacy : You don't have to. You may sit this out if you wish.
Charlie Sloane : Dancing is stupid.
Caleb Lynde : How much longer? I'm hungry.

Charlie Sloane : I worry for you, is all.
Anne Shirley-Cuthbert : Worry for me? Why?
Charlie Sloane : You think so much and you're very emotional. It might damage your ability to have children in the future.
Anne Shirley-Cuthbert : I don't understand.
Charlie Sloane : I'm sorry, did you not know? An overly active mind causes women to be barren.
Anne Shirley-Cuthbert : [in the next scene, to Marilla] I'm doomed!
