"Psst! Carrots! Hey, carrots!"
--Gilbert tries to get Anne's attention in school for the first time by way of her red hair, which she hates, and it gets him a slate smashed over his head and years of the cold shoulder from Anne.

[Gilbert begs Anne to forgive him years later]

Gilbert: I only said that [Carrots] because...because I wanted to meet you so much.

[Anne learns that Gilbert is seriously ill and visits him to give him a copy of her book]

Anne: Hello Gil. It's me. Come to ask you to go for one of our old-time rambles in the woods.
Gilbert: Wish I could go.
Anne: I brought you my book. I've been published, Gil! I wrote about Avonlea, just as you said I should...without any "high-faluting mumbo-jumbo." I dedicated the inscription to Marilla and Matthew, and to you. I was planning on saving it for a wedding gift, and then I decided I couldn't wait.
Gilbert: Anne, there's not going to be a wedding anymore.
Anne: You're going to get well, Gil, I know you are.
Gilbert: I called it off. It wouldn't have been fair to Christine.
Anne: Gil...
Gilbert: There will never be anyone for me but you.

[Gilbert proposes to Anne]

Gilbert: It will be three years until I finish medical school, and even then there won't be any diamond sunbursts or marble halls.
Anne: I don't want sunbursts or marble halls. I just want you.
[The two kiss].
