Elizabeth Thatcher quotes from When Calls the Heart

Elizabeth Thatcher

How long have you been planning this?

That's a secret.

Rosemary LeVeaux

Excuse me, this is Coal Valley?

Elizabeth Thatcher

Yes, it is.

Rosemary LeVeaux

Where's the rest of it?

Interesting lesson.

Elizabeth Thatcher

And valuable. Excuse me, I missed one.

Perfidy? I don't even want to know what that one is.

Elizabeth Thatcher

No, you don't. And school is about to begin so--

So I'll speak fast.

Elizabeth, I know that you've lost some faith in me. But I hope that over time you'll see that my heart is true.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Good morning, children!

Perfidy?

Elizabeth Thatcher

Look it up.

You still think I'm guilty of, what was it again? Oh yes, perfidy. Betrayal, treachery, treason.

Elizabeth Thatcher

You looked it up?

No, I asked that smart kid....I don't have time to look things up, I was too busy protecting this town from criminals.

Is that a squid?

Elizabeth Thatcher

It's a comet!

A comet. Uh huh. May I? [Jack erases Elizabeth's drawing and begins a new one.] You see, comets have tails, right?

Elizabeth Thatcher

Actually it's just evaporated materials and dust.

Let's call it a tail. I could add a constellation.

Elizabeth Thatcher

How about you remove a constable before my students get here?

What, so you can take credit for my chalkwork?

Take a walk with me.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Is there a reason for this walk?

There is.

Friend of yours?

Elizabeth Thatcher

Might be stretching it.

Good, because she judges a man by the size of his moat.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Aren't you going to ask me to dance?

No. Come for a walk with me.

My uncle, he even offered me the ranch.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Why didn't you take it?

It wasn't my calling.

Elizabeth Thatcher

How did you know?

I just knew.

Hello.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Here to enjoy the fruits of your labor?

Actually, I brought you a gift.

Elizabeth Thatcher

You are so sweet!

Hi, Miss Thatcher!

Elizabeth Thatcher

Nellie, Patrick! So good to see you both. Everything back to normal on the homestead?

Yep! But we changed Gertrude's name.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Your cow?

We're calling her Lizzie now.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Lizzie.

We thought since she was the first cow you ever milked, we should name her after you.

Lizzie. It's got a nice ring to it.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Hmm.

Open your gift. Now I ordered you a teacher's bell, but it hasn't arrived yet. So I thought this would do in the meantime.

Elizabeth Thatcher

A cowbell?

Elizabeth Thatcher

You know how to fix a stove?

Well, I may not be an expert, but I think I can manage.

Mounties can do anything!

Give that young man an A.

Emily Montgomery

Miss Thatcher?

Elizabeth Thatcher

Yes Emily?

Emily Montgomery

Are you going to marry Constable Thornton?

Elizabeth Thatcher

I'm not marrying anybody.

EVER?

Elizabeth Thatcher

Maybe someday, but not right away... So unless you want more homework I suggest you work on you propositions. I mean prepositions!

Julie Thatcher

My life is over.

Elizabeth Thatcher

That's not true.

Julie Thatcher

Father's forbidden me to see Tom again, and I'll die if I don't see him. I'll whither away and die.

Elizabeth Thatcher

You won't die.

Julie Thatcher

Then I'll whither.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Thatchers do not whither!...What were you thinking?

Julie Thatcher

One doesn't think when one is in love!

Elizabeth Thatcher

Well, one had better start.

Viola Thatcher

I thought you talked some sense into her!

Elizabeth Thatcher

Let's just be grateful she's come out of her room.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Where are you going?

My seat's in coach.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Well, I have a first-class compartment, you should ride with me.

Thanks. But I've got some thinking to do on the ride home.

What are you doing?

Elizabeth Thatcher

I'm starting a fire. I read a book on camping, and this is how it's done.

[pause] You know, I have matches in my saddlebag.

Elizabeth Thatcher

Why didn't you say so?

It's more fun watching you.
