[00:00.000]Aunt March: We earn our dreams in this world, Josephine.
[00:03.000]Ha! It's foolish of me to think you could ever change your ways.
[00:07.000]Jo: I could try.
[00:08.000]Aunt March: You could never bend your will, you could never follow through.
[00:12.000]You could never bite your tongue, though your tongue may split in two.
[00:16.000]If you want to live your dreams, these are things you have to do!
[00:20.000]How could you change?
[00:22.000]You can't. Not you.
[00:24.000]Jo: I could change if I wanted to.
[00:27.000]Aunt March: Could you practice self-control?
[00:29.000]Could you possibly be shy?
[00:30.500]Could you wear a corset tight in the heat of mid-July?
[00:34.000]These are rules you must obey, every one which you defy!
[00:38.900]You'll never change!
[00:40.000]You won't. That's why.
[00:43.000]Yet somewhere deep within my heart I do believe, you could captivate the world.
[00:50.000]If you could change there is so much you could achieve.
[00:54.000]In time you could succeed and travel very far indeed.
[01:02.000]You could be beguiling!
[01:06.000]Jo: Charming? me?
[01:07.600]Aunt March: Someone well mannered, a model of grace.
[01:11.000]Learn the art of smiling!
[01:14.000]Jo: That could be hard.
[01:15.000]Aunt March: It isn't very hard!!
[01:17.000]For someone full of dreams like you
[01:22.000]If you work you'll find there's nothing you can't do!
[01:29.000]Jo: So if I change we'll go to Paris?
[01:32.800]Aunt March: Change completely or don't waste my time!
[01:36.000]Jo: If I change we'll stop in Antwerp?
[01:39.000]Aunt March: Gracious living will make you sublime.
[01:42.000]Jo: If I change you'll take me to Zurich?
[01:46.000]Aunt March: Every city from Dublin to Cannes!
[01:49.000]Jo: Surely with your guidance I can learn to use feminine wiles with élan!
[01:57.000]I could be beguiling.
[02:01.000]Aunt March: Ah ah ah
[02:03.000]Jo: I could learn to charm a donkey for a chance to see the world.
[02:06.800]Learn the art of smiling!
[02:10.000]Jo: Yes I could!
[02:10.000]Aunt March: Ah ah
[02:12.000]Both: Ah-!
[02:15.800]Jo: I could button up my mind and keep my thoughts perfumed and pearled.
[02:24.500]Yes, I surely think I could!
[02:27.000]Aunt March: If you could that would be good.
[02:29.000]Jo: There's nothing that I wouldn't suffer to see the world!
[02:34.000]I can do it if I try.
[02:36.000]I can do it by sheer will.
[02:38.600]Aunt March: All you have to do is work to acquire any skill.
[02:42.000]Both: These are things a girl must do when she has dreams she must fulfill!
[02:48.000]Aunt March: Change how you walk and how you talk.
[02:50.000]Change how you think and how you are.
[02:52.000]Jo: I'll hold my breath and hold my tongue, do what it takes to travel far!
[02:56.000]Aunt March: Could you?
[03:00.000]Could you?
[03:03.000]Could you?
[03:14.000]Aunt March: Good!
