Gilly Carey Quotes:

  • Margaret Carey: It's Julia. She's coming to live with us.

    Gilly Carey: Oh, no!

    Nancy Carey: Oh, please! Not Julia!

    Margaret Carey: I want you two out of those dying gladiator attitudes! Julia is your cousin and a Carey and I don't want you to forget that, ever. Try to remember that Julia's story is rather a sad one. She never even knew her mother! And after her dear father died, the Fergusons very kindly took her in and raised her.

    Nancy Carey: Kindly took her in? George Ferguson had a guilty conscience. He knew those stocks he sold Julia's father were as worthless as ours.

  • Gilly Carey: [Gilly startles Lallie Joy, making her drop the bags she was carrying] Gee, I'm sorry!

    [Picks up the bags for her]

    Gilly Carey: They're too heavy for a girl. Allow me.

    [Gilly holds open the door and smiles at her]

    Digby Popham: [Irritated] You don't have to be *nice* or nothin', she's my *sister*.

    [Rolls his eyes at Gilly and goes into the house]

  • Digby Popham: I remember the night before I left Beulah, I was talking to Pa about seein' the city and the gals and all, and he said: "Amid pleasures and palaces, wherever you may roam, be it ever so humble there's no place like home."

    Gilly Carey: He sang it?

    Digby Popham: No, he said it. He made it right up! You know, if he ever wanted to I think Pa could've made a great poet.

  • Nancy Carey: Oh, Gilly, you can't take everything. There's just not gonna be room in our horrid new house, and we can't afford to pay storage on junk.

    Gilly Carey: Why is my stuff always junk and your stuff always priceless? Here, you can have it, Peter.

    Peter Carey: Thanks! I'll put it with my junk.

    Nancy Carey: A lot of good that did.

  • Nancy Carey: We can't afford that horrible little house? Oh, Mother, that's wonderful! Mother, do you remember after Father - well, you remember how we all made ourselves feel better by talking about the things that had been fun with him? And the best thing we thought of was that time we were all in Maine.

    Margaret Carey: And we saw the yellow house in Beulah.

    Nancy Carey: And we peered into the windows, and wasn't it wonderful? And nobody lived there!

    Gilly Carey: Hey, that was years ago. You're wild.

    Peter Carey: I remember it.

    Gilly Carey: You weren't even born!

    Nancy Carey: Well, Mother, a few weeks ago, I decided to try and find out about that yellow house. So I wrote to the postmaster in Beulah, and he answered! His name is Ossium Popham - isn't it a beautiful name?

  • Gilly Carey: We're out in the sticks, all right.

    Nancy Carey: The sticks? It's lovely! Land of promise, land of opportunity!

    Gilly Carey: Opportunity for what?

    Digby Popham: Well, you got something there. You're the first folks to move into Beulah in more than five years. Most people move away to the city. That's where I'm gonna get as soon as I can.

  • Gilly Carey: Gee, Dig, you liked the city, didn't you?

    Digby Popham: It's like Pa always said. Cities are for city folk. The minute I got there, I got to wishin' I was back in Beulah.

    Gilly Carey: Why?

    Digby Popham: Well, I was just standin' on the street, lookin' at all the people rushin' by me. They looked like ants, and I could no more talk to them than I could talk to an ant.
