This is a love story, so most of the conversations (even among the men) are about who likes who and how to get them, but there is a conversation between Laurie and Aunt Eller where they talk about life and the future.

On the other hand, there is also this exchange:

Ado Annie Carnes: Sometimes there seems like times that men ain't got no need for women.

Dancer: There's sometimes women ain't got no need for men.

Ado Annie Carnes: Yeah, but who wants to be dead?
