- Holly Hobbie: [singing] Oh, there must be something I can do / And even though I haven't got a clue / And I hope one day I can find a way / To make these troubles disappear / I'm gonna succeed, have no fear / 'Cause no problem is bigger than me.
- Aunt Jessie: So, what are you girls up to today?
- Holly Hobbie: Absolutely nothing. We're totally and completely bored.
- Carrie Baker: There's nothing to do around here.
- Amy Morris: We're even bored of trying to come up with ideas that would end our boredom.
- Aunt Jessie: Hmm, I don't think I've ever been bored in my entire life. I'm not sure I even believe in the word.
- Holly Hobbie: Really, Aunt Jessie?
- Aunt Jessie: Life is too interesting to be boring.
- Carrie Baker: A crow lives there.
- Amy Morris: Yeah, Mrs. Crow, and she never comes out.
- Holly Hobbie: Maybe she just likes to be left alone.
- [walks toward house]
- Carrie Baker: Holly, what are you doing?
- Holly Hobbie: I just want to read this.
- Amy Morris: She's like all those girls in horror movies who just can't turn and run away. They always have to stick around. And you know what happens to them.
- Willie Scranton: I may be deaf as a post, but that noise just about punctured my eardrums.
- Robby Hobbie: it's not noise, Mr. Scranton. It's a world record in the making.
- Willie Scranton: I don't care if it's a *gold* record in the making. Put that thing out of its misery, before I lodge a formal complaint.
- Robby Hobbie: [putting away his accordion sadly] Okay.
- Willie Scranton: That's more like it!
- [muttering]
- Willie Scranton: Darn kids with their rock and roll music, and turn up the amplifiers, and I don't know what all...
- Annabelle Crow: My dear, if you're going to keep apologizing, I insist on offering you a cup of tea. And I should at least know your name.
- Holly Hobbie: Oh, sorry. I mean, I'm Holly. Holly Hobbie.
- Annabelle Crow: Of course. I can't believe it. You look just like her.
- Holly Hobbie: Like who?
- Annabelle Crow: I should have known. Your great-grandma Holly and I would have the best times.
- Annabelle Crow: Thank you for bringing the letters, Minnie.
- Minnie: Well, save your thanks till after you open the one from the government. That one can only be bad news.
- Holly Hobbie: Bad news?
- [back at home, talking with her family]
- Holly Hobbie: So Annabelle has to move out of her house. They're gonna tear it down! The letter said the government was gonna put a railroad track right through her property. Can they do that?
- Aunt Jessie: I'm afraid so, sweetie.
- Holly Hobbie: [staring at photo of her great-grandmother] I'll find a way to help your old friend, Great-Grandma. Promise.
- Amy Morris: Muffin?
- Mayor Whitman: Uh, I've had three already.
- Amy Morris: Have four. They're light.
- Carrie Baker: Amy, I've heard of "buttering somebody up," but don't go overboard.
- Robby Hobbie: You know, Willie -
- Willie Scranton: That's Mr. Scranton to you. Mind your manners.
- Robby Hobbie: Uh, sorry. I was just thinking, I bet if you wre about 90 years younger, you, me, and Kyle would be best friends.
- Willie Scranton: Is that so?
- Kyle Morris: Totally.
- Robby Hobbie: Yeah, you're the first grownup we've ever met who likes the same things we like.
- Willie Scranton: Well, I - I must admit, I had the wrong impression of you pipsqueaks. Had no idea you were such enthusiasts for the strange.
- [last lines]
- Aunt Jessie: Thank you so much, Annabelle. And thank you, Aunt Jessie.
- Holly Hobbie: For what?
- Aunt Jessie: I never would have met Annabelle, or done any of this, if you hadn't told me to look at the world with new eyes. You're the best aunt ever.
