Little Women (2019) - You Love Him! Scene (9/10) | Movieclips

If you ever come to California, I would love to see you. I don't know that I will, but thank you. Well. What? Why are you all looking at me like that? What a wonderful man. I hope he comes back. He would make a terrific friend for me. Oh, father, he wasn't here for you. No. Joe, you love him. What? No, I don't. Yes, you do. I am half as smart as you, but I can see it so plainly. You love him. Doesn't she love him? It's a good instinct. You love him. I have never seen you so happy. What else is love? You need to go after him. Lori, prepare the horses. We can catch him before he gets on the train. I'm coming, too. Yes. No, I'm not. I'm not going. Yes, you are. Amy is right. Exactly. I never thought I'd prepare a carriage to help Joe March chase a man, but I like it. He's moving to California. That was fiction. He was practically begging for a reason to stay. But it's raining outside. It doesn't matter. Can you come with me? I need to fix you. Lori, will you stop standing there? Go get the horses ready. Thank you. You never ask about my mother, even when you know I've seen her. I assume she's still alive. But I ask after your mother. And I have no idea why. You're willfully missing the point. That's true. What is that? What do they want? I have no idea. You like to read here? Father, are you publishing this? What happened to the little women? Tell me you have the rest of this book. What? Frankly, I don't see why she didn't marry the neighbor. Well, because the neighbor marries her sister. Right, right. Of course. So who does she marry? No one. She doesn't marry either of them. No. No, no, no. That won't work at all. Well, she says the whole book that she doesn't want to marry. Who cares? Girls want to see women married, not consistent. No, it isn't the right ending. The right ending is the one that sells. Trust me, if you decide to end your delightful book with your heroin espinster, no one will buy it. It won't be worth printing. Well, I suppose marriage has always been an economic proposition, even in fiction. It's romance. It's mercenary. Just end it that way, will you? Fine. You do? Yes. But I would never leave if you wish me to stay. No, I want you to stay. I have nothing to give you, Jo. It doesn't matter. My hands are empty. They're not empty.
