**[00:03] Anne**
What sort of people will I be
living with from now on?
**[00:07] Spencer**
The Cuthberts, a brother and sister.
**[00:12] Spencer**
Their homestead is called Green Gables,
and it's surrounded by big trees.
**[00:19] Anne**
How wonderful! I adore trees.
**[00:24] Spencer**
Don't worry.
**[00:26] Spencer**
Be a good girl, and they're sure to keep you.
**[00:30] Spencer**
You don't want to go back to
the orphan asylum, do you?
**[00:32] Anne**
No.
**[00:35] Anne**
* Green Gables is on*
* Prince Edward Island!*
**[00:38] Anne**
* I've heard it's the prettiest*
* place in the world!*
**[00:45] Spencer**
What are you doing?
**[00:46] Spencer**
Hurry along!
**[00:47] Anne**
Oh, sorry!
**[00:49] Anne**
*I can't believe it!*
**[00:51] Anne**
* I'm really going to live on*
* an island blooming with flowers!*

**[01:11] Spencer**
Excuse me! Stationmaster!
**[01:14] Stationmaster**
How can I help you, ma'am?
**[01:15] Spencer**
May this child wait in the station house?
Mr. Cuthbert will come for her soon.
**[01:21] Stationmaster**
Yes, that's quite all right.
**[01:23] Spencer**
Be a good girl and wait.
**[01:26] Anne**
Oh, Mrs. Spencer, how can
I possibly thank you?
**[01:36] Stationmaster**
You can sit in the waiting room.
**[01:39] Anne**
If you don't mind...
**[02:03] Matthew**
Stationmaster.
**[02:04] Stationmaster**
Oh, Matthew.
**[02:06] Matthew**
Where's the train?
**[02:07] Stationmaster**
It's come and gone.
**[02:09] Stationmaster**
More importantly, that girl's
been waiting on you a long time.
**[02:13] Stationmaster**
I said should could sit in the waiting room,
**[02:15] Stationmaster**
but she said she had "more scope
for imagination" outside.
**[02:18] Stationmaster**
She's a case, I'd say.
**[02:22] Anne**
Excuse me!
**[02:23] Anne**
Are you Mr. Cuthbert?
**[02:25] Matthew**
I... I am.
**[02:27] Anne**
I'm very glad to meet you!
**[02:29] Anne**
I was afraid you weren't coming,
**[02:31] Anne**
and then I imagined
what might have happened!
**[02:35] Anne**
I decided I'd spend the night in that
big cherry tree if you didn't come today.
**[02:41] Anne**
I wouldn't be a bit afraid,
**[02:44] Anne**
and it would be lovely to sleep
**[02:46] Anne**
in a wild cherry-tree all white with
bloom in the moonshine, don't you think?
**[02:50] Anne**
And I was quite sure you would come for
me tomorrow if you couldn't today!
**[02:59] Matthew**
I'm sorry I was late.
**[03:03] Matthew**
The buggy's over...
**[03:05] Matthew**
Oh, I'll take your bag.
**[03:06] Anne**
That's fine. I can carry it.
**[03:08] Anne**
It's all my worldly goods,
but it isn't heavy!
**[03:12] Anne**
Oh, I'll be living with
you from now on, won't I?
**[03:28] Marilla**
Ah, Rachel.
**[03:29] Lynde**
I saw Matthew riding out earlier.
**[03:32] Lynde**
Is he going to the doctor's?
**[03:34] Marilla**
No, to the station.
**[03:37] Marilla**
We're getting a little boy
from an orphan asylum.
**[03:41] Lynde**
Are you in earnest, Marilla?
**[03:43] Lynde**
You've never raised a child!
**[03:44] Marilla**
We've been thinking
about it for some time.
**[03:47] Marilla**
Matthew is getting up in years,
and it's desperate hard to get hired help.
**[03:51] Lynde**
Marilla! To think you'd do
such a mighty foolish thing,
**[03:55] Lynde**
bringing a strange child
into your house and home!
**[03:58] Marilla**
With discipline, I daresay
he'll turn out all right.
**[04:01] Lynde**
One orphan asylum girl put strychnine
in the well. I read it in the paper!
**[04:06] Marilla**
No fear of that!
**[04:08] Marilla**
We're getting a boy,
**[04:10] Marilla**
*not* a girl.
**[04:14] Anne**
Mr. Cuthbert, Mr. Cuthbert.
**[04:17] Anne**
What does that tree—the white and lacy one
leaning out from the bank—make you think of?
**[04:22] Matthew**
I dunno.
**[04:24] Anne**
A bride, of course!
**[04:25] Anne**
A bride all in white with
a lovely, misty veil.
**[04:32] Anne**
Aren't these roads funny?
**[04:34] Anne**
What makes them red?
**[04:36] Matthew**
Well now, I dunno.
**[04:39] Anne**
Well, that is one of the
things to find out sometime.
**[04:43] Anne**
Isn't it splendid to think of
everything there is to know?
**[04:46] Anne**
It just makes me feel glad to be alive.
**[04:50] Anne**
It's such an interesting world.
**[04:58] Anne**
It wouldn't be half as interesting
if we knew all about everything.
**[05:03] Anne**
There'd be no scope for imagination.
**[05:04] Anne**
Am I talking too much?
**[05:07] Anne**
I *can* stop when I make up my mind to it.
**[05:10] Matthew**
I don't mind.
**[05:12] Anne**
Oh, I know you and I are going
to get along just fine!
**[05:18] Anne**
People laugh at me
because I use big words.
**[05:22] Anne**
But if you have big ideas you have to use
big words to express them, don't you think?
**[05:28] Matthew**
That seems reasonable.
**[05:32] Anne**
I heard your place is named Green Gables.
**[05:37] Anne**
Is there a brook anywhere near it?
**[05:40] Matthew**
There's one right below the house.
**[05:43] Anne**
Fancy! It's always been one of
my dreams to live near a brook.
**[05:47] Anne**
Right now, I feel pretty
nearly perfectly happy.
**[05:51] Anne**
But I can never feel
*exactly* perfectly happy.
**[05:55] Anne**
What color would you call this?
**[05:57] Matthew**
It's red, ain't it?
**[05:59] Anne**
Yes. Now you see, don't you?
**[06:02] Anne**
I can imagine my skinniness away,
but not that red hair.
**[06:07] Anne**
"Now my hair is a glorious,
wavy black!" I tell myself...
**[06:16] Anne**
But I know it's just *plain* red.
**[06:24] Anne**
Mr. Cuthbert?
**[06:26] Anne**
Mr. Cuthbert! Mr. Cuthbert!
**[06:51] Matthew**
I guess you're getting
to feeling pretty hungry.
**[06:55] Anne**
Mr. Cuthbert, that white place we
came through—what was it?
**[07:01] Matthew**
You must mean the Avenue.
**[07:03] Matthew**
It is kind of pretty.
**[07:06] Anne**
Oh, "pretty" doesn't go far enough.
**[07:09] Anne**
Nor beautiful, either.
**[07:10] Anne**
It's the first thing I ever saw
that imagination couldn't improve.
**[07:16] Anne**
They shouldn't call that
lovely place the Avenue.
**[07:20] Anne**
How about the White Way of Delight?
**[07:23] Anne**
Isn't that a nice, poetic name?
**[07:25] Matthew**
Sure.
**[07:27] Anne**
Other people may call that place the Avenue,
**[07:31] Anne**
but I shall always call it
the White Way of Delight.
**[07:36] Anne**
What's that?
**[07:37] Matthew**
That's Barry's pond.
**[07:39] Anne**
I shall call it...
**[07:41] Anne**
the Lake of Shining Waters.
**[07:47] Anne**
What a jolly sound.
**[07:48] Anne**
I love the way the wheels rumble.
**[07:52] Anne**
Isn't it splendid there
are so many things to like?
**[07:58] Matthew**
Home's just over this hill.
**[08:02] Anne**
Oh, I'm so happy, but I'm sad too.
**[08:05] Anne**
Our wonderful ride is nearly over.
**[08:09] Matthew**
There. You can see it now.
**[08:12] Matthew**
That's Green Gables over—
**[08:14] Anne**
Wait! Let me guess.
**[08:28] Anne**
There!
**[08:29] Anne**
That's it, isn't it?
**[08:30] Matthew**
Yes, you've guessed it.
**[08:34] Anne**
As soon as I saw it, I felt it was home.
**[08:37] Anne**
Oh, it seems as if I must be in a dream!
**[08:40] Anne**
That's going to be my home, isn't it?
**[09:14] Marilla**
Where is the boy?
**[09:18] Marilla**
Who's *that?*
**[09:21] Marilla**
Matthew!
**[09:22] Matthew**
There wasn't any boy.
**[09:25] Matthew**
There was only *her*.
**[09:27] Marilla**
But why?
**[09:28] Matthew**
I don't know. A mistake came in somewhere.
**[09:32] Matthew**
But I couldn't leave her there,
even if it was a mistake.
**[09:39] Marilla**
Good heavens.
**[09:42] Anne**
You don't want me!
**[09:44] Anne**
I might have expected it!
**[09:47] Anne**
All because I'm not a boy.
**[09:49] Anne**
It was all too beautiful.
**[09:51] Anne**
I might have known it wouldn't last.
**[09:55] Anne**
Nobody ever did want me.
**[09:59] Anne**
I've never had anybody waiting for me.
**[10:03] Anne**
Oh, what shall I do?
**[10:11] Marilla**
Well, well, there's no
need to cry about it.
**[10:14] Anne**
Yes, there is!
**[10:15] Anne**
If you were an orphan and had come to a
place you thought was going to be home,
**[10:19] Anne**
only for them to say, "Who's that?
We don't want her because she isn't a boy."
**[10:24] Anne**
*You* would cry, too!
**[10:31] Marilla**
Well, don't cry any more.
**[10:32] Marilla**
We're not going to turn
you out-of-doors tonight.
**[10:36] Marilla**
What's your name?
**[10:38] Anne**
Will you please call me Cordelia?
**[10:42] Marilla**
Cordelia? Is that your name?
**[10:45] Anne**
No, but I would love to be called Cordelia.
**[10:48] Anne**
It's such a perfectly elegant name.
**[10:54] Marilla**
I don't know what you mean.
**[10:55] Anne**
Please do call me Cordelia!
**[10:58] Marilla**
What's your *real* name?
**[10:59] Anne**
Anne.
**[11:00] Anne**
Anne Shirley.
**[11:02] Marilla**
Anne. A good, plain, sensible name.
**[11:05] Anne**
It's so unromantic.
**[11:07] Anne**
If you do call me Anne,
**[11:08] Anne**
please call me Anne spelled with an *e*.
**[11:14] Marilla**
What difference does it
make how it's spelled?
**[11:16] Anne**
Such a difference. It looks
so much more distinguished.
**[11:20] Marilla**
Tell me, then, Anne spelled with an *e*.
**[11:24] Marilla**
Were there no boys at the asylum?
**[11:27] Anne**
There were, but Mrs. Spencer
said that you wanted a girl.
**[11:35] Anne**
Why didn't you tell me at the
station that you didn't want me?!
**[11:39] Anne**
It wouldn't be so hard if I hadn't
seen the White Way of Delight
**[11:43] Anne**
and the Lake of Shining Waters!
**[11:47] Marilla**
What on earth is she talking about?
**[11:49] Matthew**
She... She's just referring to
some conversation we had on the road.
**[11:57] Matthew**
She must be hungry.
Would you get supper ready?
**[12:05] Marilla**
You're not eating anything.
**[12:07] Anne**
I'm in the depths of despair.
**[12:09] Anne**
Can you eat when you are
in the depths of despair?
**[12:12] Marilla**
I can't say.
**[12:15] Marilla**
I've never been in the depths of despair.
**[12:18] Anne**
Did you ever try to imagine you were?
**[12:21] Marilla**
No.
**[12:22] Anne**
Then I don't think you can
understand what it's like.
**[12:24] Anne**
When you try to eat, a lump goes
in your throat, and you...
**[12:29] Marilla**
I suppose you have a nightgown?
**[12:31] Anne**
Y-Yes.
**[12:33] Anne**
It's fearfully skimpy.
**[12:35] Anne**
But one can dream just as
well in any nightgown.
**[12:39] Anne**
That's one consolation.
**[12:40] Marilla**
No more chatter.
**[12:43] Marilla**
Undress as quick as you can and go to bed.
**[12:54] Marilla**
Really. She just threw them on the floor.
**[13:05] Marilla**
Goodnight.
**[13:07] Anne**
*Goodnight?!*
**[13:09] Anne**
You know it must be the very
worst night I've ever had!
**[13:21] Marilla**
I thought you gave that up.
**[13:23] Matthew**
I can't stand this without it.
**[13:27] Marilla**
I'll drive over and see
Mrs. Spencer tomorrow.
**[13:31] Marilla**
We must send this girl
back to the asylum.
**[13:33] Matthew**
I suppose so, though she's a
real interesting little thing.
**[13:39] Marilla**
Matthew! You don't mean to say
you think we ought to keep her!
**[13:43] Marilla**
What good would she be to us?
**[13:47] Matthew**
None, but we might
be some good to her.
**[13:55] Marilla**
Matthew, I believe that
child has bewitched you!
**[13:59] Matthew**
Well now, you should have heard
her talk on our way from the station.
**[14:08] Matthew**
She'd be company for you.
**[14:13] Marilla**
I'm not suffering for company!
**[14:16] Marilla**
And I'm *not* going to keep her.
**[14:20] Matthew**
You always talk sense.
**[14:28] Matthew**
Goodnight.
**[15:15] Anne**
The world seemed such a
howling wilderness last night.
**[15:19] Anne**
I'm so glad it's a sunshiny morning.
**[15:23] Anne**
But I like rainy mornings, too.
**[15:26] Anne**
All sorts of mornings are interesting.
**[15:28] Anne**
There's scope to imagine what's
going to happen through the day.
**[15:31] Matthew**
Mm-hmm.
**[15:32] Marilla**
For pity's sake, hold your tongue and eat.
**[15:39] Anne**
I'll wash the dishes.
**[15:40] Marilla**
Oh? Can you wash them right?
**[15:42] Anne**
Pretty well. I'm better at
looking after children, though.
**[15:46] Anne**
It's such a pity you haven't any here.
**[15:52] Marilla**
More children? *You're* problem enough.
**[16:00] Marilla**
Good enough. Go amuse yourself
out-of-doors till we leave.
**[16:03] Anne**
Thank you!
**[16:13] Marilla**
What's the matter?
**[16:15] Anne**
I don't dare go out.
**[16:17] Anne**
If I can't stay here, there is
no use in me loving Green Gables.
**[16:24] Anne**
If I go out and get acquainted with the
flowers and the brook and the Snow Queen,
**[16:29] Anne**
I'll not be able to help loving it.
**[16:32] Marilla**
What Snow Queen?
**[16:33] Anne**
The cherry tree outside my
bedroom window. I named it.
**[16:38] Marilla**
Where's the sense in naming a tree?
**[16:41] Anne**
Sense? There isn't any.
**[16:43] Anne**
Only that I feel I can get to
know them better that way.
**[16:46] Anne**
Would *you* like to be called nothing
but a woman all the time?
**[16:53] Marilla**
*She* is *kind of interesting.*
**[16:55] Marilla**
* I'm already wondering what*
* on earth she'll say next.*
**[16:59] Marilla**
* But I can't let her*
* cast a spell over me, too.*
**[17:02] Marilla**
Matthew!
**[17:23] Anne**
I've made up my mind to enjoy this drive!
**[17:27] Anne**
I can always enjoy things if I make up
my mind to. It's one of my virtues.
**[17:31] Anne**
Look!
**[17:32] Anne**
There's an early wild rose out!
**[17:34] Anne**
Isn't it lovely? Isn't pink the
most bewitching color in the world?
**[17:39] Anne**
But it's such a shame!
Redheaded people can't wear pink.
**[17:44] Anne**
Has there ever been a case where a redheaded
girl's hair changes when she grows up?
**[17:48] Marilla**
Not that I've ever heard of.
**[17:51] Anne**
Well, that is another hope gone.
**[17:54] Anne**
My life is a perfect
graveyard of buried hopes.
**[17:57] Anne**
Are we going across the
Lake of Shining Waters today?
**[18:00] Marilla**
We're going by the shore road.
**[18:02] Marilla**
As you're bent on talking, you might
as well tell me about yourself.
**[18:07] Anne**
My history isn't worth telling.
**[18:10] Marilla**
It's better than your imaginings.
**[18:12] Marilla**
Where were you born, and how old are you?
**[18:15] Anne**
I turned eleven last March.
**[18:18] Anne**
I was born in Nova Scotia.
**[18:20] Anne**
My father's name was Walter Shirley,
and my mother's was Bertha.
**[18:24] Anne**
They kept a little house in Bolingbroke,
**[18:28] Anne**
Mother and Father died soon after
I was born, so I don't remember it,
**[18:36] Anne**
but I've imagined it thousands of times.
**[18:39] Anne**
When I was washing dishes
in Mrs. Thomas's house,
**[18:43] Anne**
when I looked after Mrs. Hammond's
three pairs of twins...
**[18:47] Anne**
Thousands of times.
**[18:49] Anne**
Thousands of times.
**[18:50] Anne**
Thousands.
**[18:59] Anne**
That little house must have had lilies
of the valley just inside the gate,
**[19:03] Anne**
with honeysuckle over the windows
and muslin curtains in all of them.
**[19:09] Anne**
I was born in that house.
**[19:15] Anne**
Mr. Hammond died and
Mrs. Hammond broke up housekeeping.
**[19:20] Anne**
Nobody would take me after that,
so I had to go to the asylum.
**[19:28] Marilla**
Were those women—Mrs. Thomas
and Mrs. Hammond—good to you?
**[19:33] Anne**
Yes, but...
**[19:35] Anne**
It's trying to have a drunken
husband and all the rest.
**[19:41] Anne**
Still, I know they meant
to be good and kind to me.
**[19:48] Anne**
Aren't those gulls splendid?
**[19:51] Anne**
The way they swoop away out over the water.
**[19:55] Anne**
Would you like to be a gull?
**[19:58] Anne**
I think I would.
**[20:03] Spencer**
Dear, dear. You don't say so!
**[20:06] Spencer**
My brother Robert sent the word
down by his daughter Nancy,
**[20:10] Spencer**
and she said you wanted a girl.
**[20:13] Spencer**
Didn't she, Flora?
**[20:15] Flora**
She certainly did!
**[20:17] Spencer**
Oh, that Nancy!
**[20:20] Marilla**
Can we still send the
child back to the asylum?
**[20:25] Spencer**
Oh, Mrs. Blewett was saying how much
she wanted a little girl to help her.
**[20:31] Spencer**
Anne will be the very girl for her.
**[20:34] Spencer**
And Mrs. Blewett is here again today!
**[20:42] Spencer**
Take a seat there, Miss Cuthbert.
**[20:44] Spencer**
Anne, you sit here.
**[20:45] Spencer**
Mrs. Blewett, we've found
just the girl for you.
**[20:57] Blewett**
How old are you?
**[21:00] Anne**
I'm eleven years old.
**[21:02] Blewett**
And your name is?
**[21:06] Anne**
Anne Shirley.
**[21:10] Blewett**
Heh. You don't look as if there's
much to you. But you're wiry.
**[21:14] Blewett**
If I take you, you'll have to
be good and smart and respectful.
**[21:18] Blewett**
I'll be feeding you,
**[21:20] Blewett**
so I'll expect you to earn your keep.
**[21:25] Spencer**
That's settled, then.
**[21:27] Blewett**
I'll take her off your hands, Miss Cuthbert.
**[21:30] Blewett**
If you like, I can take her home right now.
**[21:33] Marilla**
Well, I don't know.
**[21:34] Marilla**
I didn't say that Matthew and I had
decided that we *wouldn't* keep her.
**[21:41] Marilla**
I just came over to find out
how the mistake had occurred.
**[21:42] Spencer**
Oh, really.
**[21:46] Marilla**
I think I'd better take her home
again and talk it over with Matthew.
**[21:51] Marilla**
Will that suit you, Mrs. Blewett?
**[21:55] Blewett**
I s-suppose it'll have to.
**[22:03] Anne**
Did you really say you'll
talk with Mr. Cuthbert?
**[22:06] Anne**
Or did I only imagine that you did?
**[22:08] Marilla**
You'd better control your imagination if
you can't tell what's real and what isn't.
**[22:14] Marilla**
Yes, I did say just that.
**[22:16] Marilla**
It isn't decided yet, mind you.
**[22:23] Matthew**
I wouldn't give a dog
I liked to that Blewett woman!
**[22:31] Marilla**
But it's that or keeping her ourselves.
**[22:36] Marilla**
I've never brought up a child,
especially not a girl.
**[22:42] Matthew**
True enough, but she's such
an interesting little thing.
**[22:48] Marilla**
I'd rather she was a
*useful* little thing.
**[22:51] Matthew**
You've got that backwards.
**[22:54] Matthew**
We're going to be useful to her.
**[23:01] Anne**
Gracious Heavenly Father,
**[23:03] Anne**
I thank Thee for all Thy blessings.
**[23:07] Anne**
As for the things I want,
I only have time to name two.
**[23:11] Anne**
First, please let me be
good-looking when I grow up,
**[23:15] Anne**
and please let me stay here
at wonderful Green Gables!
**[23:29] Anne**
Yours respectfully, Anne Shirley.

**[00:15] Anne**
Um...
**[00:16] Matthew**
Do you have a favorite sweet, Anne?
**[00:20] Anne**
Chocolate caramels, I suppose.
**[00:31] Anne**
Oh, please, won't you tell me if you
are going to send me away or not?
**[00:37] Anne**
Please tell me.
**[00:39] Anne**
I cannot bear not knowing any longer.
**[00:44] Marilla**
You didn't scald the dishcloth
in clean hot water.
**[00:48] Marilla**
And you stand daydreaming in the field.
**[00:50] Marilla**
You must do your part before
you ask any more questions.
**[00:55] Marilla**
Well, Matthew and I
**[00:58] Marilla**
have decided to keep you.
**[01:01] Marilla**
That is, if you will try
to be a good little girl.
**[01:06] Marilla**
Why, whatever is the matter?
**[01:09] Anne**
I'm crying. I can't think why.
**[01:10] Anne**
I'm glad as glad can be. Oh, *glad
*doesn't seem the right word at all.
**[01:14] Anne**
It's something more than glad.
**[01:17] Anne**
I'll try to be so good!
I'll do my very best!
**[01:20] Anne**
However, it will be
uphill work, I expect.
**[01:25] Anne**
* There are glad tears as well*
* as sad ones, aren't there?*
**[01:29] Anne**
*And these are truly glad ones!*

Pretty Things
**[01:51] Anne**
Here's a big bee just
tumbled out of a flower.
**[01:55] Anne**
Just think what a lovely place to live.
**[01:57] Marilla**
That's a Scotch rose.
**[02:00] Marilla**
Matthew's fond of those flowers.
**[02:03] Marilla**
Our mother planted them.
**[02:05] Anne**
*Your* mother, Miss Cuthbert?
**[02:08] Marilla**
I had a mother the same as anybody.
**[02:12] Marilla**
And you'll call me just plain Marilla.
**[02:16] Anne**
I'd love to call you Aunt Marilla.
**[02:19] Anne**
It would make me feel as if
I really belonged to you.
**[02:21] Marilla**
No.
**[02:23] Marilla**
I'm not your aunt.
**[02:26] Anne**
I understand.
**[02:29] Anne**
But I'm free to call you anything
in my imagination, aren't I?
**[02:32] Marilla**
Do as you like.
**[02:33] Anne**
Well then, Marilla, I'll just go and
say good morning to the brook.
**[02:39] Marilla**
You'll trip and fall in all that rush!
**[02:41] Anne**
No, I won't!
**[02:51] Marilla**
Good morning, Rachel!
**[02:54] Lynde**
Oh, Marilla!
**[02:57] Marilla**
How are you feeling?
**[02:58] Lynde**
I never dreamed I'd be
laid up two weeks in bed.
**[03:02] Lynde**
But what about that child? A girl, you say?
**[03:06] Marilla**
Yes. Matthew took a fancy to her,
and we decided to keep her.
**[03:11] Lynde**
There's no guessing how a
child like that will turn out.
**[03:15] Marilla**
I must say I like her, myself.
**[03:18] Marilla**
And when I make up my mind to
do a thing, it stays made up.
**[03:22] Anne**
Marilla!
**[03:24] Lynde**
So that's her, is it?
**[03:26] Lynde**
They didn't pick you for your looks,
that's sure and certain.
**[03:29] Lynde**
She's terrible skinny and homely,
and with red hair too!
**[03:35] Lynde**
A regular carrot patch!
**[03:37] Lynde**
Yes, hair as red as carrots!
**[03:47] Anne**
I hate you!
**[03:49] Anne**
I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!
**[03:52] Marilla**
Anne!
**[03:54] Anne**
How dare you call me skinny and ugly?!
**[03:57] Anne**
How dare you say
I'm freckled and redheaded?!
**[04:00] Anne**
How would you like to have
such things said about you?
**[04:03] Anne**
To be told that you are fat and clumsy and
haven't a spark of imagination in you?!
**[04:07] Anne**
I don't care if I do hurt
your feelings by saying so!
**[04:12] Anne**
You have hurt mine worse than
they were ever hurt before!
**[04:14] Anne**
And I'll never forgive you for it!
**[04:16] Anne**
Never, never!
**[04:23] Marilla**
Anne, go to your room.
**[04:25] Marilla**
And stay there until I come up.
**[04:35] Lynde**
Did anybody ever see such a temper!
**[04:38] Marilla**
You shouldn't have twitted
her about her looks, Rachel.
**[04:42] Lynde**
Marilla, you don't mean to say
that you are upholding her?
**[04:47] Marilla**
No, I'll have to give her
a talking to about it.
**[04:52] Marilla**
But you *were* too hard on her!
**[04:57] Lynde**
Well, I see that I'll have to be
very careful what I say after this,
**[05:00] Lynde**
since the fine feelings of orphans have
to be considered before anything else.
**[05:05] Lynde**
I'm not vexed. I'm too sorry
for you to leave any room for anger.
**[05:10] Lynde**
Well, good evening!
**[05:12] Lynde**
I've never been insulted in such a fashion!
**[05:16] Lynde**
Never!
**[05:25] Marilla**
Anne, get off that bed this minute.
**[05:29] Marilla**
Anne!
**[05:33] Marilla**
This is a nice way for you to behave.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
**[05:37] Anne**
She hadn't any right to
call me ugly and redheaded.
**[05:41] Marilla**
You hadn't any right to fly at her.
**[05:44] Marilla**
You say it yourself often enough.
**[05:46] Anne**
But there's such a difference
hearing other people say it.
**[05:49] Marilla**
You must go to Rachel and
tell her you are very sorry!
**[05:53] Anne**
I can never do that.
**[05:54] Marilla**
And why not?
**[05:55] Anne**
Because I'm *not* sorry!
I can't even *imagine* I'm sorry!
**[06:04] Marilla**
You said you would try
to be a very good girl.
**[06:08] Marilla**
You said you would,
"do your very best," didn't you?
**[06:13] Marilla**
You'll stay here in your room until you
can tell me you're willing to do apologize.
**[06:18] Anne**
I shall have to stay here forever then.
**[06:20] Marilla**
Do as you like!
**[06:24] Marilla**
What a headstrong child.
**[06:36] Matthew**
It's a good thing that meddlesome
old gossip got a calling down.
**[06:40] Marilla**
Matthew?!
**[06:41] Matthew**
Anne hasn't ever had
anyone to teach her right.
**[06:45] Matthew**
You're going to give her
something to eat, aren't you?
**[06:49] Marilla**
She'll have her meals regular,
and I'll let her out, too.
**[06:53] Marilla**
When she's willing to apologize.
**[07:17] Anne**
Yes?
**[07:19] Matthew**
How are you making it?
**[07:21] Anne**
Pretty well. It's rather lonesome.
But then, I may as well get used to that.
**[07:26] Matthew**
Well now, Anne, don't you think you'd
better do it and have it over with?
**[07:33] Anne**
Do you mean apologize to Mrs. Lynde?
**[07:36] Matthew**
Yes, apologize.
**[07:38] Matthew**
Just smooth it over so to speak.
**[07:41] Matthew**
It'll have to be done
sooner or later, you know.
**[07:44] Matthew**
Marilla's a dreadful determined woman.
**[07:48] Anne**
I suppose I could do it to oblige you.
**[07:52] Anne**
I'd do anything for you—
if you really want me to.
**[07:56] Matthew**
Well now, of course I do.
**[07:58] Matthew**
I'd greatly appreciate it.
**[08:00] Matthew**
It's terrible lonesome
downstairs without you.
**[08:05] Anne**
Very well.
**[08:06] Matthew**
But don't tell Marilla
I said anything about it.
**[08:18] Anne**
Marilla.
**[08:20] Marilla**
Well?
**[08:22] Anne**
I'm sorry I lost my temper
and said rude things,
**[08:24] Anne**
and I'm willing to go
and tell Mrs. Lynde so.
**[08:28] Marilla**
Very well. I'll take you down.
**[08:33] Anne**
Thank you!
**[08:35] Anne**
I am so extremely sorry.
**[08:37] Anne**
What I said to you was true, too.
**[08:40] Marilla**
What are you thinking of?
**[08:42] Anne**
I'm imagining out what
I must say to Mrs. Lynde.
**[09:03] Anne**
Oh, Mrs. Lynde, I am so extremely sorry!
**[09:09] Marilla**
I should have known it.
**[09:10] Anne**
I could never express all my sorrow, no,
not even if I used up a whole dictionary!
**[09:16] Anne**
Every word you said was true!
**[09:20] Anne**
My hair is red, and I'm
freckled and skinny and ugly!
**[09:24] Anne**
What I said to you was true, too,
**[09:28] Anne**
but I shouldn't have said it.
**[09:32] Anne**
Oh, Mrs. Lynde, please.
**[09:33] Anne**
You wouldn't like to inflict a lifelong sorrow
on a poor little orphan girl, would you,
**[09:40] Anne**
even if she had a dreadful temper?!
**[09:44] Anne**
Oh, please say you forgive me, Mrs. Lynde!
**[09:54] Marilla**
Look at her.
**[09:55] Marilla**
She's enjoying herself.
**[10:01] Lynde**
There, there, get up, child.
**[10:04] Lynde**
Of course I forgive you.
**[10:06] Anne**
Truly?
**[10:08] Lynde**
Yes.
**[10:09] Lynde**
I guess I was a little
too hard on you, anyway.
**[10:12] Lynde**
I knew a girl once whose hair was red
but darkened to a real handsome auburn.
**[10:17] Anne**
What?!
**[10:18] Lynde**
I wouldn't be a mite surprised
if yours did, too.
**[10:22] Anne**
Oh, Mrs. Lynde! You have given me a hope.
**[10:26] Anne**
I shall always feel that
you are a benefactor.
**[10:29] Marilla**
Well, you managed it. How, I don't know.
**[10:33] Anne**
Yes, I did.
**[10:34] Marilla**
Go take a look around the orchard
while Rachel and I are talking.
**[10:40] Lynde**
You can pick a bouquet of them white
June lilies over in the corner if you like.
**[10:44] Anne**
Thank you!
**[10:46] Lynde**
She has a queer way of expressing herself,
but there is something taking about her.
**[10:52] Lynde**
She's an honest child.
**[10:54] Lynde**
On the whole, Marilla, I kind of like her.
**[10:58] Marilla**
What a way to apologize!
I dreaded what she might say next.
**[11:02] Marilla**
I appreciate you forgiving
her in spite of all, Rachel.
**[11:08] Anne**
Aren't these flowers sweet!
**[11:11] Anne**
It was lovely of Mrs. Lynde
to give them to me.
**[11:14] Marilla**
Yes.
**[11:15] Marilla**
I hope you won't have occasion
to make many more such apologies.
**[11:19] Anne**
That wouldn't be so hard if people
wouldn't twit me about my looks.
**[11:23] Marilla**
I'm afraid you are a
very vain little girl.
**[11:26] Anne**
How can I be vain when I know I'm homely?
**[11:29] Anne**
I love pretty things,
**[11:33] Anne**
and I hate to look in the glass and
see something that isn't pretty.
**[11:38] Anne**
How could I like other people
drawing attention to it?
**[11:41] Marilla**
Handsome is as handsome does.
**[11:46] Anne**
I have my doubts about that.
**[11:49] Anne**
But it gives you a lovely feeling to
apologize and be forgiven, doesn't it?
**[11:54] Anne**
Isn't it lovely to be going home, Marilla?
**[11:58] Anne**
To be going home and know it's home.
**[12:02] Marilla**
Is that so?
**[12:07] Anne**
I love Green Gables already,
**[12:10] Anne**
and I never loved any place before.
**[12:14] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, I'm so happy.
**[12:20] Marilla**
If you'll be a good girl,
**[12:22] Marilla**
you'll always be happy, Anne.
**[12:35] Marilla**
Well,
**[12:37] Marilla**
how do you like them?
**[12:40] Anne**
Well...
**[12:41] Anne**
I'll imagine that I like them.
**[12:44] Marilla**
You'll *imagine?!*
**[12:45] Marilla**
What is the matter with
the dresses I made you?
**[12:49] Anne**
Oh, I *am* grateful.
But they're not *fashionable*!
**[12:52] Anne**
It would give me such a thrill to
wear a dress with puffed sleeves.
**[12:57] Marilla**
Well, you'll have to
do without your thrill.
**[13:00] Anne**
And this hat is much too plain.
**[13:04] Marilla**
There, my headache has gotten worse.
**[13:09] Marilla**
You'll have to go to
Sunday school by yourself.
**[13:13] Anne**
Do you think that I shall
have a bosom friend there?
**[13:17] Marilla**
A what kind of a friend?
**[13:18] Anne**
An intimate friend, you know.
**[13:20] Marilla**
There is Diana Barry.
**[13:23] Anne**
Barry?
**[13:26] Anne**
Barry's pond!
**[13:28] Anne**
The Lake of Shining Waters!
**[13:29] Marilla**
Yes. I don't think she can come today,
**[13:33] Marilla**
but she lives near the pond,
and she's a nice, pretty little girl.
**[13:37] Anne**
It would be best to have
a beautiful bosom friend.
**[13:41] Marilla**
It's what's inside that matters most.
**[13:45] Anne**
Diana.
**[13:46] Anne**
Diana Barry.
**[13:48] Anne**
Anne Shirley.
**[14:38] Bell**
There are things that even God cannot do.
**[14:40] Anne**
*My sleeves are puffed, too.*
**[14:41] Bell**
But perhaps I should clarify.
**[14:43] Bell**
It would be truer to say that God
can choose what He cannot do,
**[14:43] Anne**
*My sleeves are puffed, too.*
**[14:46] Bell**
or that He can choose
what He does not do.
**[14:46] Anne**
*Mine are, too.*
**[14:48] Bell**
Thus God, while—in a sense—weak and
powerless, is also the hope of the world.
**[14:48] Anne**
*Mine are, too.*
**[15:10] Marilla**
Late, I see.
**[15:12] Anne**
Yes, I took the long way coming home.
**[15:20] Marilla**
Rachel was just here.
**[15:23] Marilla**
She says you went to church with your
hat rigged out ridiculous with flowers.
**[15:27] Anne**
Y-Yes, I did.
**[15:29] Marilla**
What on earth put you up to such a caper?
**[15:33] Marilla**
A pretty-looking object you must have been!
**[15:35] Anne**
L-Lots of little girls there had
bouquets pinned on their dresses.
**[15:39] Anne**
What was the difference?
**[15:40] Marilla**
It makes me trouble!
**[15:44] Marilla**
Rachel says people talked
about it something dreadful.
**[15:48] Marilla**
Of course they would think I had no better
sense than to let you go decked out like that.
**[15:55] Anne**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[15:57] Anne**
I'm so sorry.
**[15:59] Anne**
I can see that I've disgraced you.
**[16:02] Anne**
I never thought you'd mind.
**[16:05] Anne**
I'm afraid I'm going to
be a dreadful trial to you.
**[16:11] Anne**
Maybe you'd better send
me back to the asylum.
**[16:16] Anne**
Having to leave Green Gables
would be a terrible tragedy.
**[16:19] Anne**
But that would be better
than being a trial to you.
**[16:27] Marilla**
Nonsense.
**[16:29] Marilla**
I don't want to send you back
to the asylum, I'm sure.
**[16:33] Marilla**
All I want is that you should
not make yourself ridiculous.
**[16:37] Marilla**
This is your home.
**[16:39] Marilla**
You belong to Green Gables.
**[16:43] Marilla**
Oh yes, I've got some news for you.
**[16:45] Marilla**
Diana Barry came home this afternoon.
**[16:48] Marilla**
I'll go over with you.
**[16:50] Anne**
What, right now?
**[16:52] Marilla**
This minute!
**[16:53] Anne**
What?!
**[16:57] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, I'm frightened.
**[17:00] Anne**
What if she shouldn't like me!
**[17:04] Anne**
I'm the most frightened girl
on Prince Edward Island.
**[17:08] Marilla**
Now, don't get into a fluster.
I guess Diana'll like you well enough.
**[17:13] Marilla**
Be careful how you behave yourself, though.
**[17:16] Anne**
Yes.
**[17:17] Marilla**
Mrs. Barry is a very particular woman.
**[17:20] Anne**
Yes, of course.
**[17:22] Barry**
Come in. And this is the little girl?
**[17:26] Marilla**
Yes, this is Anne Shirley.
**[17:31] Anne**
Spelled with an *e*.
**[17:37] Barry**
How are you, Anne?
**[17:41] Anne**
I am well in body although
considerably rumpled up in spirit.
**[17:48] Barry**
I'm glad she has the
prospect of a playmate.
**[17:53] Barry**
Diana.
**[17:54] Barry**
Here is the girl I told you about.
**[17:56] Barry**
Anne Shirley, who's come
to live at Green Gables.
**[18:00] Barry**
You might take Anne out into the garden.
**[18:12] Diana**
Do you like books?
**[18:14] Anne**
Y-Yes.
**[18:16] Diana**
I read all day when I lose myself in one.
**[18:20] Diana**
I love exciting, tragical, romantic stories.
**[18:25] Diana**
But Mother says reading strains the eyes.
**[18:29] Diana**
She must want me to make a friend
nearby to take me out of doors more.
**[18:37] Diana**
I'm sorry. Was that awful
of me to say to you?
**[18:42] Anne**
"Quick as the slaughtered squadrons fell
In Midian's evil day."
**[18:49] Diana**
Isn't that...
**[18:51] Anne**
Yes, I read it over in church today.
**[18:54] Anne**
The minister wasn't the least bit interesting,
but those two lines just thrill me.
**[18:59] Anne**
They sound so tragical and
exciting, don't you think?
**[19:04] Anne**
Oh, Diana, do you think—
oh, do you think you can like me?
**[19:09] Diana**
Yes.
**[19:10] Anne**
Enough to be my bosom friend?
**[19:12] Diana**
Y-Your what kind of friend?!
**[19:14] Anne**
I mean that I want you to be
**[19:17] Anne**
my very best friend!
**[19:30] Diana**
Why, I guess so.
**[19:32] Diana**
I'm awfully glad you've
come to live at Green Gables!
**[19:38] Anne**
W-Will you swear to be my
friend forever and ever?
**[19:43] Diana**
I don't mind. How do you do it?
**[19:46] Anne**
We must join hands.
**[19:57] Anne**
I'll repeat the oath first.
**[20:02] Anne**
I solemnly swear to be faithful
to my bosom friend, Diana Barry,
**[20:07] Anne**
as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
**[20:13] Diana**
I really do think I can like you.
**[20:19] Anne**
Now you say it and put my
name in! Anne with an *e!*
**[20:24] Diana**
I solemnly swear to be faithful
to my bosom friend, Anne Shirley,
**[20:30] Diana**
as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
**[20:32] Diana**
How was that?
**[20:33] Anne**
Perfect! I could just hear the *e*.
**[20:37] Diana**
Now tell me, what does "Midian" mean?
**[20:39] Anne**
I don't know.
**[20:40] Diana**
You don't?
**[20:42] Marilla**
You look like
**[20:44] Marilla**
the happiest girl on Prince Edward Island.
**[20:46] Anne**
Oh, I am.
**[20:47] Anne**
Diana's birthday is in February,
and mine is in March.
**[20:52] Anne**
Don't you think that is a
very strange coincidence?
**[20:54] Anne**
Don't you think Diana has
got very soulful eyes?
**[20:57] Anne**
I wish I had soulful eyes.
**[21:00] Anne**
She's going to give me a
picture to put up in my room.
**[21:04] Marilla**
Well, remember you'll have your work
to do and it'll have to be done first.
**[21:10] Anne**
You're right.
**[21:11] Anne**
I wish I had something to give Diana.
**[21:19] Matthew**
I heard you say you liked
chocolate sweeties,
**[21:23] Matthew**
so I got you some.
**[21:25] Anne**
Thank you, Matthew!
**[21:27] Marilla**
Humph!
**[21:28] Marilla**
It'll ruin her teeth and stomach.
**[21:34] Marilla**
Don't look so dismal.
**[21:37] Marilla**
You can eat those, since Matthew
has gone and got them.
**[21:43] Anne**
Truly?!
**[21:44] Marilla**
Don't sicken yourself eating
them all at once now.
**[21:48] Anne**
Oh, no, I'll just eat one tonight.
**[21:52] Anne**
And I can give Diana half
of them, can't I?
**[21:56] Anne**
The other half will taste twice as
sweet to me if I give some to her.
**[22:00] Anne**
It's delightful to think
I have something to give her.
**[22:20] Marilla**
It's only three weeks since she came,
**[22:24] Marilla**
and it seems as if she'd
been here always.
**[22:28] Marilla**
I can't imagine the place without her.
**[22:37] Marilla**
Now, don't be looking I-told-you-so.
**[22:40] Marilla**
I'm perfectly willing to own up that
I'm glad I consented to keep the child,
**[22:48] Marilla**
but don't you rub it in, Matthew Cuthbert.
**[22:53] Anne**
* Gracious Heavenly Father,*
* I made a friend today.*
**[22:58] Anne**
* I feel so happy just imagining*
* giving her caramels.*
**[23:05] Anne**
*I hope Diana will like them.*
**[23:23] Marilla**
*Good night,*
**[23:24] Marilla**
*Anne of Green Gables.*
**[23:29] Marilla**
*Good night.*

**[00:01] Matthew**
How do you like it?
**[00:02] Anne**
It's lovely.
**[00:04] Anne**
Doesn't this picture remind you of Diana?
**[00:07] Matthew**
Well now, I don't know about that.
**[00:10] Anne**
Thank you, Matthew.
**[00:13] Marilla**
Have you both forgotten it's time for tea?
**[00:15] Anne**
I'm sorry, Marilla.
**[00:17] Anne**
The picture Diana gave
me is just so beautiful.
**[00:20] Marilla**
I've already heard all about it.
**[00:23] Anne**
Oh, I've been invited to
a Sunday school picnic.
**[00:28] Marilla**
Have you now?
**[00:30] Anne**
Oh, I've never been to a picnic.
**[00:34] Anne**
Please can I go, Marilla?
**[00:39] Marilla**
It's not likely I'd refuse to let you go
when all the other little girls are going.
**[00:44] Anne**
But... But Diana says that everybody
must take a basket of things to eat.
**[00:49] Marilla**
Of course I'll bake you a basket.
**[00:52] Anne**
Oh, you dear good Marilla!
**[00:55] Marilla**
Here now. Not so close.
**[00:58] Marilla**
Never mind your kissing nonsense.

***SIGN*** Looking Forward to Things
Is Half the Pleasure of Them
**[02:46] Anne**
Is something the matter, Marilla?
**[02:48] Marilla**
Did you see my amethyst brooch I wear
to church? I can't find it anywhere.
**[02:54] Marilla**
I always put it back in its
place when I'm done with it.
**[02:58] Anne**
That perfectly elegant brooch
like the souls of violets?
**[03:02] Anne**
I saw it on your
pincushion on the bureau.
**[03:06] Anne**
I took it up and I pinned it on my
breast just to see how it would look.
**[03:08] Marilla**
You had no business to
do anything of the sort.
**[03:11] Marilla**
Now, where did you put the brooch?
**[03:14] Anne**
Oh, I put it back on the bureau.
**[03:15] Anne**
I didn't think about its being wrong.
**[03:17] Anne**
But one good thing about me is, I never
do the same naughty thing twice.
**[03:23] Marilla**
I'll go and have another look.
**[03:33] Anne**
Isn't it there?
**[03:39] Marilla**
Tell me the truth at once.
**[03:42] Marilla**
Did you take it out and lose it?
**[03:45] Anne**
I never did and that is the truth,
if I was to be led to the block for it,
**[03:49] Anne**
although I'm not very
certain what a block is.
**[03:52] Anne**
So there!
**[03:53] Marilla**
Nonsense!
**[03:55] Marilla**
I believe you are telling me a falsehood!
**[03:57] Marilla**
Go to your room and stay there
until you are ready to confess!
**[03:59] Anne**
Should I take the peas?
**[04:00] Marilla**
No. Do as I bid you!
**[04:05] Matthew**
Mother gave you that brooch, I know.
**[04:08] Marilla**
I don't suppose she meant to
steal it or anything like that.
**[04:12] Marilla**
I suppose she has lost it and is afraid
to own up for fear she'll be punished.
**[04:15] Marilla**
It's a dreadful thing to
think she tells falsehoods.
**[04:17] Marilla**
I declare I feel worse about
that than about the brooch.
**[04:21] Matthew**
How long are you going to
make her stay in her room?
**[04:25] Marilla**
Until she confesses!
**[04:28] Matthew**
Well now, you have the bringing up of her.
**[04:34] Marilla**
*I can't very well go to Rachel about this.*
**[04:38] Marilla**
*What am I to do?*
**[04:43] Marilla**
You haven't eaten a bite.
**[04:46] Anne**
I did *not* take your brooch.
**[04:49] Anne**
The picnic is tomorrow!
**[04:50] Anne**
You won't keep me from
going to that, will you?
**[04:53] Marilla**
You'll not go to picnics nor anywhere
else until you've confessed!
**[04:58] Anne**
Oh, Marilla!
**[05:18] Anne**
Marilla, I'm ready to confess!
**[05:22] Anne**
I took the amethyst brooch!
**[05:29] Marilla**
Let me hear what you have to say then.
**[05:32] Anne**
I wanted to wear it out among the birches
**[05:35] Anne**
and play I was the Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald.
**[05:39] Anne**
I thought I could put it
back before you came home.
**[05:44] Anne**
Only...
**[05:45] Marilla**
Only what?
**[05:46] Anne**
I went all the way around by the
road to lengthen out the time.
**[05:49] Anne**
On the bridge across the
Lake of Shining Waters,
**[05:52] Anne**
I took the brooch off to
have another look at it.
**[05:56] Anne**
And then it just slipped
through my fingers
**[06:00] Anne**
and sank forevermore beneath
the Lake of Shining Waters.
**[06:07] Anne**
And that's the best I can
do at confessing, Marilla.
**[06:10] Marilla**
Anne, this is terrible!
**[06:13] Marilla**
You are the very wickedest
girl I ever heard of.
**[06:17] Anne**
Yes, I suppose I am.
**[06:20] Anne**
Won't you please punish me right off?
**[06:22] Anne**
I'd like to go to the picnic
with nothing on my mind.
**[06:25] Marilla**
Picnic, indeed!
**[06:27] Marilla**
You'll go to no picnic
today, Anne Shirley.
**[06:29] Marilla**
That shall be your punishment.
**[06:31] Anne**
Not go to the picnic!
But you promised me I might!
**[06:34] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, I must go to the picnic!
That was why I confessed!
**[06:39] Anne**
Today is to be a red-letter day—
the first time I have ice cream!
**[06:43] Anne**
For anything you know I may never have
a chance to taste ice cream again!
**[06:46] Anne**
Please, Marilla!
**[06:48] Marilla**
You are not going to the
picnic and that's final.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Rachel**
Did anybody ever see such a temper!
**[06:57] (Flashback) Rachel**
I'm not vexed. I'm too sorry
for you to leave any room for anger.
**[07:06] Marilla**
* I've put my hand to the plough*
* and I won't look back.*
**[07:11] Marilla**
Come down to your dinner, Anne!
**[07:15] Anne**
I don't want any dinner!
**[07:17] Anne**
I couldn't eat anything!
My heart is broken!
**[07:20] Anne**
You'll feel remorse of
conscience someday, I expect,
**[07:23] Anne**
but I forgive you.
**[07:25] Anne**
Remember when the time
comes that I forgive you.
**[07:28] Anne**
But please don't ask me to eat anything,
**[07:31] Anne**
especially anything so unromantic
as boiled pork and greens!
**[07:42] Matthew**
This is good.
**[07:44] Marilla**
For "unromantic boiled pork
and greens," I suppose.
**[07:48] Matthew**
Well now, she shouldn't have told stories,
but she's such a little thing.
**[07:53] Marilla**
I'm amazed at you. I think I've
let her off entirely too easy.
**[07:58] Matthew**
But you know, she's never
had any bringing up.
**[08:03] Marilla**
Well, she's having it now.
**[08:07] Marilla**
What a lot of sewing to do.
**[08:09] Marilla**
Oh yes,
**[08:10] Marilla**
I must mend that rent in my shawl.
**[08:14] Marilla**
What, another tear?
**[08:21] Marilla**
What does this mean?
**[08:25] Marilla**
It must have happened when...
**[08:27] Marilla**
Anne Shirley!
**[08:30] Marilla**
I've just found my brooch
hanging to my black lace shawl!
**[08:32] Marilla**
Now I want to know what that rigmarole
you told me this morning meant!
**[08:37] Anne**
Why, you said you'd keep
me here until I confessed.
**[08:43] Anne**
So I thought out a confession and
made it as interesting as I could.
**[08:50] Anne**
And I rehearsed it all last night.
**[08:54] Anne**
But you wouldn't let me go to the picnic
after all, so all my trouble was wasted.
**[09:06] Marilla**
Anne, you do beat all!
**[09:09] Marilla**
But I was wrong.
**[09:11] Marilla**
I shouldn't have doubted your word.
**[09:14] Marilla**
Of course, it wasn't right for you to
confess to a thing you hadn't done.
**[09:19] Marilla**
But I drove you to it.
**[09:23] Marilla**
So if you'll forgive me,
**[09:25] Marilla**
Anne, I'll forgive you.
**[09:29] Anne**
Why, Marilla, of course I forgive you.
**[09:34] Marilla**
And now get yourself
ready for the picnic.
**[09:37] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, isn't it too late?
**[09:41] Marilla**
They won't be more than well gathered yet.
**[09:44] Marilla**
Now put this on.
**[09:45] Marilla**
Oh, but wash your face and
comb your hair first!
**[09:51] Marilla**
Matthew! Drive Anne down!
**[09:53] Matthew**
Of course. I'll hitch up the sorrel.
**[09:59] Diana**
Anne! Come here!
**[10:01] Anne**
Diana!
**[10:03] Diana**
Anne!
**[10:05] Diana**
How I've waited for you.
**[10:09] Diana**
This is Anne Shirley, my dearest friend.
**[10:13] Anne**
*Her dearest friend!*
**[10:14] Diana**
It's a pleasure to meet you!
**[10:15] Ruby; Jane; Mary; Josie**
The pleasure's ours!
**[10:18] Anne**
Picnicking with everybody
**[10:20] Anne**
was so much lovelier
than ever I imagined!
**[10:24] Anne**
On the Lake of Shining Waters...
**[10:26] Anne**
Watch out!
**[10:27] Anne**
one girl nearly fell overboard.
**[10:30] Anne**
And we had the ice cream!
**[10:36] Anne**
Words fail me to describe that ice cream!
**[10:41] Anne**
I assure you it was sublime.
**[10:43] Marilla**
I assure *you* that you're blowing
it out of proportion.
**[10:46] Anne**
Oh, Matthew, Marilla, I've had
a perfectly scrumptious time!
**[10:52] Anne**
Scrumptious is a new word
I learned today.
**[10:56] Anne**
I heard Mary Bell use it.
**[10:58] Marilla**
What a day that was.
**[11:01] Marilla**
Anne's "confession" was all a falsehood.
**[11:05] Marilla**
I'm willing to own up
that I made a mistake.
**[11:09] Marilla**
And there's one thing certain.
**[11:15] Marilla**
No house will ever be dull that she's in.
**[11:24] Matthew**
Yes, and aren't you glad, Marilla?
**[11:37] Marilla**
Remember, Anne,
**[11:38] Marilla**
you're to keep your mouth shut at school.
**[11:40] Anne**
I will!
**[11:41] Marilla**
And listen to your teacher.
**[11:43] Anne**
I know, Marilla.
**[11:46] Anne**
Do my clothes look funny?
**[11:48] Marilla**
No, they do not.
**[11:49] Anne**
Well then, I'll be on my way!
**[11:50] Marilla**
Oh, your lunch!
**[11:53] Matthew**
I'll have your study desk ready
by the time you get home, Anne.
**[11:57] Anne**
Thank you, Matthew.
**[11:59] Anne**
Goodbye, then.
**[12:03] Marilla**
I only hope she gets on
with the other children.
**[12:07] Anne**
Good morning, Lover's Lane.
**[12:10] Anne**
A wonderfully romantic name,
if I do say so myself.
**[12:13] Diana**
Anne!
**[12:15] Anne**
Good morning, Diana!
**[12:17] Diana**
Good morning.
**[12:18] Diana**
How do you feel about your
first day of school?
**[12:20] Anne**
Simply splendid!
**[12:22] Anne**
But it's splendider still to have
such a lovely way to go to school by!
**[12:30] Diana**
The Violet Vale! Millions of
them bloom there in spring!
**[12:35] Diana**
The Birch Path! Have you ever seen
such beautiful shafts of light?
**[12:39] Diana**
The school is just past these spruces.
**[12:43] Diana**
Good morning, Jane!
**[12:46] Jane**
Will you listen to this?
**[12:48] Jane**
Gertie Pye actually went and put her milk
bottle in my place in the brook yesterday.
**[12:53] Jane**
Did you ever?
**[12:55] Diana**
Good morning, Ruby.
**[12:57] Ruby**
Mr. Phillips wrote something
on Prissy Andrews's slate,
**[13:01] Ruby**
and when Prissy read it,
she blushed as red as a beet.
**[13:05] Ruby**
Why do you think that was?
**[13:06] Anne**
I can't imagine.
**[13:08] Diana**
Anne, look!
**[13:10] Diana**
That's the Avonlea school there.
**[13:14] Anne**
You're all on the fifth book, aren't you?
**[13:16] Anne**
I'm only on the fourth—
terribly far behind.
**[13:19] Diana**
You'll catch up soon.
**[13:21] Student**
The master's here.
**[13:27] Phillips**
Good morning.
**[13:28] Students**
Good morning, Mr. Phillips.
**[13:31] Phillips**
We'll spend our first hour on geography.
**[13:33] Phillips**
Look at this map of Prince
Edward Island and answer...
**[13:36] Anne**
* Oh, you can see the Lake of*
* Shining Waters from here, too.*
**[13:40] Phillips**
Anne Shirley, our newest scholar!
**[13:43] Phillips**
Come up to the map!
**[13:49] Phillips**
Point to Avonlea Village.
**[13:51] Anne**
*I've never seen a map before.*
**[13:54] Diana; Jane**
*Go on, Anne!*
**[13:57] Phillips**
Don't you know where it is?
**[14:01] Anne**
*"Caribou"?*
**[14:04] Anne**
* I took a boat from Caribou*
* to... Charlottetown!*
**[14:07] Anne**
* And the train from there*
* to... Bright River!*
**[14:10] Anne**
* Then we followed Avonlea main*
* road straight north to...*
**[14:14] Anne**
Avonlea Village is right here.
**[14:16] Phillips**
You're correct.
**[14:19] Anne**
"The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;"
**[14:22] Anne**
"Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;"
**[14:26] Anne**
"The lark's on the wing;"
**[14:28] Jane**
*Anne recites well, too.*
**[14:29] Anne**
"The snail's on the thorn;"
**[14:31] Ruby**
*I can almost see it all.*
**[14:31] Anne**
"God's in his Heaven—"
**[14:33] Anne**
"All's right with the world!"
**[14:37] Ruby**
Anne, you're a marvel!
**[14:40] Ruby**
You even surprised Mr. Phillips!
**[14:42] Diana**
The lark's on the wing;
**[14:45] Diana**
The milk's on Anne's cheek.
**[14:48] Ruby**
Ruby is right here.
**[14:53] Diana**
Anne, wait!
**[14:54] Jane**
We always pool our lunches!
It's our rule!
**[14:58] Anne**
Is it really?
**[15:00] Ruby**
We won't let our Anne Shirley
get branded as "awful mean."
**[15:04] Diana; Jane; Ruby**
Now, let's have a taste!
**[15:07] Anne**
Your pie won high acclaim, Marilla.
**[15:09] Anne**
Everybody wished they'd had more of it.
**[15:12] Marilla**
Then I'll bake more next time.
**[15:15] Matthew**
And how were your lessons?
**[15:16] Anne**
I'm a little behind, but it wasn't all bad!
**[15:20] Anne**
I had wonderful news from Jane.
**[15:23] Anne**
What do you think she said, Marilla?
**[15:26] Marilla**
I'm sure I don't know.
**[15:28] Anne**
She said that I had a very pretty nose!
**[15:32] Matthew**
Oh?
**[15:33] Anne**
That is the first compliment
I have ever had in my life!
**[15:36] Anne**
Marilla, have I really a pretty nose?
I know you'll tell me the truth.
**[15:41] Marilla**
Your nose is well enough.
**[15:44] Anne**
Really?! Truly?!
**[15:48] Diana**
You look cheery as ever, Anne.
**[15:51] Anne**
Yes. I think I can come to like this school.
**[15:55] Diana**
You do? I'm so glad!
**[15:57] Anne**
You look rather cheery today yourself.
**[16:01] Anne**
Has something nice happened?
**[16:02] Diana**
I guess Gilbert Blythe will
be back in school today.
**[16:07] Anne**
Gilbert?
**[16:10] Diana**
He's *aw'fly* handsome.
**[16:14] Diana**
He's older than us—nearly fourteen.
**[16:18] Jimmy**
Gilbert!
**[16:19] Diana**
His father was sick, and he
left Avonlea for a few years.
**[16:23] Charlie**
It feels like forever.
How have you been?
**[16:24] Gilbert**
Well!
**[16:25] Carrie**
There he is!
**[16:30] Girls**
Gilbert!
**[16:31] Girls**
It's so good to see you again!
**[16:33] Girls**
Gilbert!
**[16:34] Gilbert**
Crow!
**[16:36] Anne**
"Crow"?
**[16:37] Diana**
He calls me that to make fun of
me because my hair is so black.
**[16:41] Diana**
Oh, that Gilbert!
**[16:49] Phillips**
Excellent.
**[16:50] Phillips**
Well done, Gilbert.
**[16:52] Gilbert**
Thank you, sir.
**[16:55] Diana**
Gilbert was the head of his
class before the break.
**[16:59] Anne**
I can see that.
**[17:00] Anne**
I'm glad to have a worthy rival.
**[17:02] Phillips**
Now, I'd like you to solve another problem.
**[17:06] Phillips**
Does anyone feel confident?
**[17:08] Phillips**
Ruby Gillis.
**[17:10] Ruby**
Yes, sir!
**[17:11] Ruby**
Er...
**[17:17] Ruby**
Really!
**[17:18] Phillips**
Ruby Gillis, don't keep us waiting.
**[17:19] Anne**
I think your Gilbert Blythe *is* handsome,
**[17:21] Ruby**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[17:22] Anne**
but I think he's very bold.
**[17:24] Gilbert**
Who's she?
**[17:25] Jimmy**
Anne Shirley. She's head of your class now.
**[17:32] Minnie**
I made a new dress.
**[17:34] Ruby**
Oh?
**[17:34] Tommy**
Go, go!
**[17:37] Phillips**
Keep silent and study!
**[18:10] Jimmy**
A girl's ignoring Gilbert!
**[18:13] Jimmy**
Can you believe it?!
**[18:21] Gilbert**
Carrots.
**[18:25] Gilbert**
*Carrots*.
**[18:32] Anne**
You mean, hateful boy!
**[18:53] Jimmy**
Oh, wow.
**[19:05] Phillips**
What happened here?
**[19:06] Gilbert**
I'm sorry, Mr. Phillips! It was my fault!
**[19:10] Phillips**
Anne Shirley, what does this mean?
**[19:13] Phillips**
Explain yourself, Anne Shirley!
**[19:18] Phillips**
Very well.
**[19:20] Phillips**
Go and stand in front of the blackboard
for the rest of the afternoon.
**[19:25] Phillips**
Ann Shirley must learn
to control her temper!
**[19:35] Phillips**
Now, it is time for your lesson.
**[19:37] Phillips**
Turn to page twenty-five in your books.
**[19:40] Phillips**
Well? Don't sit there staring!
**[19:43] Anne**
*He left off the* e*.*
**[19:47] Gilbert**
Anne!
**[19:48] Gilbert**
Anne Shirley!
**[19:50] Gilbert**
Wait!
**[19:52] Gilbert**
I'm awful sorry I made fun of your hair.
**[19:55] Gilbert**
Honest I am.
**[19:57] Gilbert**
Sorry.
**[20:09] Anne**
How could Mr. Phillips forget my *e?!*
**[20:13] Anne**
How could Gilbert Blythe
make fun of my hair?!
**[20:19] Anne**
Why?! Why?! Why?!
**[20:35] Anne**
Would you like to join me?
**[20:36] Anne**
It helps you feel a little better.
**[20:40] Anne**
Oh, no!
**[20:46] Jimmy**
Oh, no! We won't make it!
**[21:01] Phillips**
Anne Shirley!
**[21:03] Phillips**
Since you seem to be so fond
of the boys' company,
**[21:07] Phillips**
we shall indulge your taste
for it this afternoon.
**[21:11] Schoolgirl**
That's a *boy's* seat.
**[21:13] Schoolgirl**
Poor her.
**[21:17] Diana**
Anne.
**[21:23] Diana**
What are you clearing up for, Anne?
**[21:25] Diana**
School isn't over yet.
**[21:28] Diana**
Oh, Anne!
**[21:30] Anne**
I'd do almost anything in
the world for you, Diana.
**[21:33] Anne**
I'd let myself be torn limb from
limb if it would do you any good.
**[21:36] Anne**
But I can't do this,
so please don't ask it.
**[21:42] Marilla**
Nonsense.
**[21:44] Anne**
It isn't nonsense at all.
**[21:47] Anne**
Don't you understand?
I've been insulted!
**[21:51] Anne**
I will not go back to school, I assure you.
**[21:56] Marilla**
Anne.
**[21:58] Marilla**
*For once,*
**[21:59] Marilla**
* I'll have to run down and*
* see Rachel about this.*

**[00:04] Marilla**
I don't know what to do with her.
**[00:08] (Flashback) Anne**
I will not go back to school, I assure you.
**[00:12] Marilla**
She can be awful stubborn
if she takes the notion.
**[00:15] Lynde**
Speaking as a woman who's
sent ten children to school,
**[00:20] Lynde**
I'd just humor her a little at
first, that's what I'd do.
**[00:23] Marilla**
Then you really think
I'd better let her stay home?
**[00:26] Lynde**
Yes. That is, I wouldn't
say school to her again
**[00:30] Lynde**
until she said it herself.
**[00:36] Lynde**
She'll cool off in a week or so and be
ready enough to go back of her own accord.
**[00:39] Marilla**
You think so?
**[00:41] Lynde**
While, if you were to make
her go back right off,
**[00:45] Lynde**
dear knows what freak or tantrum she'd
take next and make more trouble than ever.
**[00:54] Marilla**
Anne?
**[00:56] Marilla**
Whatever's the matter now?
**[00:57] Anne**
I love Diana so, Marilla.
I cannot ever live without her.
**[01:02] Marilla**
Have you had a falling out?
**[01:05] Anne**
No.
**[01:07] Anne**
But when we grow up,
Diana will get married...
**[01:11] Anne**
and go away and leave me.
**[01:14] Anne**
And oh, what shall I do?
**[01:17] Anne**
I hate her husband—
I just hate him furiously.
**[01:26] Marilla**
If you must borrow trouble,
for pity's sake, borrow it handier home.
**[01:30] Marilla**
Oh, yes. I'm going out tomorrow afternoon.
**[01:34] Marilla**
You can ask Diana to come
over and have tea here.
**[01:38] Anne**
Oh, Marilla!
**[01:41] Marilla**
Have the bottle of raspberry cordial
on the second shelf of the closet.
**[01:45] Marilla**
You can cut some fruitcake and have
some of the cookies and snaps.
**[01:48] Anne**
How perfectly lovely!
**[01:50] Anne**
You *are* able to imagine things after all,
**[01:53] Anne**
or else you'd never have understood
how I've longed for that very thing.
**[01:57] Anne**
It will seem so nice and grown-uppish!

**[03:47] Diana**
How do you do?
**[03:50] Anne**
All the better for your company.
**[03:56] Anne**
May I... offer you tea?
**[04:02] Anne**
Marilla said the raspberry cordial
was on the second shelf.
**[04:08] Anne**
This must be it.
**[04:13] Anne**
Marilla's famous raspberry cordial!
**[04:15] Anne**
Please help yourself.
**[04:19] Diana**
Thank you. It's such a pretty color.
**[04:24] Diana**
That's awfully nice!
**[04:26] Diana**
I didn't know raspberry
cordial was so nice!
**[04:30] Anne**
I'm real glad you like it!
**[04:34] Anne**
Take as much as you want.
I'm going to run out and stir the fire up.
**[04:44] Diana**
It certainly is very nice.
**[04:55] Anne**
Another glass?
**[04:57] Diana**
Yes, please.
**[05:02] Diana**
The nicest I ever drank.
**[05:04] Diana**
It's ever so much nicer than Mother's.
**[05:06] Anne**
Marilla is a famous cook.
**[05:09] Anne**
But there's no scope for imagination in
cookery. You just have to go by rules.
**[05:13] Anne**
She is trying to teach me to cook,
but I assure you, Diana, it is uphill work.
**[05:20] Anne**
Why, Diana, what is the matter?
**[05:23] Diana**
I'm—I'm awful sick.
**[05:27] Anne**
What?
**[05:28] Anne**
Where do you feel bad?
**[05:30] Anne**
W-Would you like to
lie down on the sofa?
**[05:32] Diana**
I must go right home.
**[05:34] Anne**
Oh, you mustn't dream of
going home without your tea.
**[05:37] Diana**
I must go home.
**[05:38] Anne**
All right. I'll go with you.
**[05:52] Anne**
Mrs. Lynde.
**[05:54] Lynde**
Is Marilla in?
**[05:55] Anne**
She's out.
**[05:57] Anne**
Come in. I'll put on tea.
**[05:59] Lynde**
Never mind. I only stopped to look in.
**[06:03] Lynde**
Goodbye.
**[06:08] Lynde**
Tell me, Anne,
**[06:10] Lynde**
what did you give Diana to drink?
**[06:15] Marilla**
You set Diana drunk?!
**[06:19] Marilla**
What on earth did you give her?
**[06:21] Anne**
Not a thing but raspberry cordial.
**[06:23] Anne**
I never thought raspberry cordial
would set people drunk,
**[06:27] Anne**
not even if they drank three
big tumblerfuls as Diana did.
**[06:32] Marilla**
Anne, you certainly have a genius
for getting into trouble.
**[06:36] Marilla**
You went and gave Diana currant wine
instead of raspberry cordial.
**[06:40] Anne**
Wine?
**[06:42] Marilla**
I put the bottle of cordial
down in the cellar.
**[06:45] Marilla**
Not in the pantry as I told you.
**[06:48] Anne**
What?!
**[06:49] Marilla**
Didn't you know the difference yourself?
**[06:51] Anne**
I never tasted it. I meant to
be so—so—hospitable.
**[06:55] Anne**
Diana just laughed silly like when her
mother asked her what was the matter.
**[07:01] Anne**
Her mother smelled her breath
and knew she was drunk.
**[07:05] Anne**
Mrs. Barry is so indignant.
**[07:08] Anne**
She will never let me play with Diana again!
**[07:14] Marilla**
I know. I'll go up and tell
Mrs. Barry how it was.
**[07:20] Marilla**
She'll think better of it when she
finds you're not really to blame.
**[07:38] Anne**
Marilla?
**[07:40] Marilla**
Of all the unreasonable women
I ever saw, she's the worst!
**[07:44] Marilla**
I told her it was all a mistake
and you weren't to blame,
**[07:47] Marilla**
but she just simply didn't believe me.
**[07:49] Marilla**
I told her plainly that wine wasn't meant
to be drunk three tumblerfuls at a time!
**[08:04] Mrs. Barry**
What do you want?
**[08:05] Anne**
Oh, Mrs. Barry, please forgive me!
**[08:08] Anne**
I did not mean to intoxicate Diana!
**[08:12] Anne**
Just imagine if you had just one
bosom friend in all the world!
**[08:17] Anne**
Do you think you would
intoxicate her on purpose?
**[08:21] Anne**
Oh, please don't say that you won't
let Diana play with me any more!
**[08:25] Anne**
If you do, you will cover my
life with a dark cloud of woe!
**[08:31] Mrs. Barry**
How dare you mock your elders with
big words and dramatic gestures.
**[08:35] Mrs. Barry**
I don't think you are a fit little girl
for Diana to associate with.
**[08:40] Mrs. Barry**
You'd better go home and behave yourself.
**[08:43] Anne**
Please wait!
**[08:44] Anne**
Won't you let me see Diana
just once to say farewell?
**[08:48] Mrs. Barry**
Diana is sleeping. Now go!
**[08:51] Anne**
Oh, but—
**[09:00] Anne**
*My last hope is gone.*
**[09:26] Anne**
Diana!
**[09:31] Anne**
Your mother hasn't relented?
**[09:35] Diana**
I've cried and cried, and I told her it
wasn't your fault, but it wasn't any use.
**[09:41] Diana**
I had ever such a time coaxing her to
let me have ten minutes to say goodbye.
**[09:46] Anne**
Ten minutes isn't very long
to say an eternal farewell in.
**[09:51] Anne**
Oh, Diana, will you promise faithfully never
to forget me, the friend of your youth,
**[09:59] Anne**
no matter what dearer
friends may caress thee?
**[10:03] Diana**
Indeed I will, and I'll never
have another bosom friend.
**[10:09] Diana**
I couldn't love anybody as I love you.
**[10:13] Anne**
Oh, Diana, do you *love* me?
**[10:18] Diana**
Why, of course I do.
**[10:20] Diana**
Didn't you know that?
**[10:21] Anne**
I thought you liked me, of course,
but I never hoped you loved me.
**[10:27] Anne**
Oh, this is wonderful!
**[10:30] Anne**
Oh, Diana, just say it once again.
**[10:33] Diana**
I love you devotedly, Anne,
and I always will, you may be sure of that.
**[10:39] Anne**
And I will always love thee, Diana.
**[10:48] Anne**
Wilt thou give me a lock of thy jet-black
tresses in parting to treasure forevermore?
**[10:54] Anne**
Ready?
**[10:56] Diana**
Yes.
**[11:01] Anne**
*Fare thee well, my beloved friend.*
**[11:04] Anne**
* Henceforth we must be as strangers,*
* though living side by side.*
**[11:08] Anne**
*But my heart will ever be faithful to thee.*
**[11:28] Anne**
I'm going back to school.
**[11:30] Anne**
That is all there is left in life for me,
**[11:33] Anne**
now that my friend has been
ruthlessly torn from me.
**[11:36] Anne**
In school, I can look at her
and muse over days departed.
**[11:42] Marilla**
I hope we'll hear no more of breaking slates
over people's heads and such carryings-on.
**[11:47] Anne**
I'll try to be a model pupil!
**[11:49] Anne**
Goodbye!
**[11:56] Ruby**
Anne!
**[11:57] Jane**
You've come back!
**[12:05] Ruby**
Here.
**[12:07] Ruby**
Have some.
**[12:08] Anne**
Oh, it looks scrumptious!
**[12:10] Ella**
Here, Anne.
**[12:12] Anne**
What's this?
**[12:14] Anne**
Oh, how pretty!
**[12:16] Anne**
Thank you, Ella.
**[12:18] Classmate**
Anne, this is from me.
**[12:20] Classmate**
And I'd like you to have this, too.
**[12:22] Anne**
Thank you all. I'll treasure them.
**[12:31] Anne**
It's so nice to be appreciated.
**[12:34] Matthew**
Well now, I suppose it is.
**[12:36] Marilla**
I hope you're doing as
your teacher tells you.
**[12:39] Anne**
Of course I am.
**[12:41] Anne**
But Diana won't look at me.
**[12:44] Anne**
She might just have smiled
at me once, I think.
**[12:48] Phillips**
Now, I want you all to write a composition
on this school you have your lessons in.
**[12:54] Phillips**
Begin according to the order
I've written on the blackboard.
**[12:59] Phillips**
First, place. Where does it stand?
**[13:00] Diana**
* Dear Anne, Mother says I'm not to play*
* with you or talk to you even in school.*
**[13:06] Diana**
* Please don't be cross at me,*
* because I love you as much as ever.*
**[13:16] Phillips**
And so,
**[13:17] Phillips**
some of you wrote well
and others, not so well,
**[13:21] Phillips**
but you must all remember to read your
own compositions and correct mistakes.
**[13:22] Anne**
*My own darling Diana:*
**[13:24] Anne**
*Of course I am not cross at you.*
**[13:27] Anne**
*Our spirits can commune.*
**[13:31] Anne**
* I shall sleep with your letter*
* under my pillow tonight.*
**[13:35] Anne**
* Yours until death do us part,*
* Anne or Cordelia Shirley.*
**[13:39] Phillips**
That will do.
**[13:41] Gilbert**
Anne Shirley.
**[13:44] Gilbert**
I know you're good at spelling.
**[13:46] Gilbert**
Would you help me with a few—
**[13:51] Jimmy**
Anne really won't say a word to you.
**[13:54] Jimmy**
I guess you *are* rivals in class.
**[13:59] Phillips**
Today, top honors in sums go to...
**[14:02] Phillips**
Gilbert.
**[14:06] Phillips**
Today, top honors in sums go to...
**[14:09] Phillips**
Anne.
**[14:15] Phillips**
Today, Gilbert and Anne have
tied for first in sums.
**[14:25] Anne**
I'm sure I'll never
be able to like geometry.
**[14:29] Anne**
There is no scope for
imagination in it at all.
**[14:32] Anne**
And Gil—I mean, some of
the others are so smart at it.
**[14:37] Anne**
Even Diana—
**[14:39] Anne**
But I don't mind being beaten by Diana.
**[14:43] Anne**
Even although we meet as strangers now
**[14:47] Anne**
I still love her with an
inextinguishable love.
**[14:51] Anne**
It makes me very sad that
I can't talk with her.
**[14:56] Anne**
But really,
**[14:57] Anne**
one can't stay sad very long
in such an interesting world,
**[15:03] Anne**
can one?
**[15:05] Matthew**
Knowing you, you'll beat
anything life throws at you.
**[15:11] Marilla**
Now, finish your meal.
**[15:13] Anne**
I will.
**[15:19] Anne**
*That winter witnessed a momentous event.*
**[15:23] Anne**
* The Canadian Premier decided to*
* come to Prince Edward Island.*
**[15:28] Anne**
* Most of the grown-up people in*
* Avonlea went to hear him speak.*
**[15:34] Anne**
*But that wasn't the only happening of note.*
**[15:43] Anne**
It's nice to spend a night
without Marilla sometimes.
**[15:49] Anne**
Hello?
**[15:51] Anne**
Whatever is the matter, Diana?!
**[15:54] Anne**
Has your mother relented at last?
**[15:57] Diana**
No!
**[15:58] Diana**
Oh, Anne, do come quick!
**[16:00] Diana**
Minnie May is awful sick!
**[16:02] Diana**
She's got croup, I think!
**[16:05] Diana**
Father and Mother are away to town
**[16:07] Diana**
and Young Mary Joe
doesn't know what to do,
**[16:10] Diana**
and oh, Anne, I'm so scared!
**[16:14] Anne**
Don't cry!
**[16:15] Anne**
Matthew's gone for the doctor.
**[16:18] Anne**
I know exactly what to do for croup.
**[16:20] Anne**
You forget that I've looked after children.
**[16:22] Anne**
Just wait till I get the ipecac bottle.
**[16:36] Diana**
Well, Anne?
**[16:38] Anne**
Minnie May has croup all right,
just like the three pairs of twins.
**[16:43] Anne**
But she's pretty bad.
**[16:46] Anne**
Try to find fresh clothes
and soft flannel cloths!
**[16:48] Diana**
Right away.
**[16:50] Anne**
Mary Joe, we must have lots of hot water.
**[16:53] Mary**
Right!
**[17:00] Anne**
Now Minnie May, drink this down.
**[17:11] Anne**
Yes, that's a good girl.
**[17:30] Diana**
You don't think she'll choke, do you?
**[17:35] Diana**
Minnie May!
**[17:36] Anne**
Minnie May!
**[17:37] Anne**
Stay strong, Minnie May!
**[17:48] Anne**
Matthew!
**[17:49] Matthew**
Sorry. I had to go all
the way to Spencervale.
**[17:52] Doctor**
Where is the patient?
**[17:53] Anne**
She's here.
**[18:01] Doctor**
Sleeping soundly, I see.
**[18:05] Doctor**
She'll be all right now.
**[18:09] Anne**
I was awfully near giving up in despair.
**[18:11] Anne**
I actually thought she was
going to choke to death.
**[18:14] Doctor**
Did you give her medicine?
**[18:17] Anne**
I gave her ipecac,
**[18:18] Anne**
and when the last dose went down,
she began to get better right away.
**[18:22] Anne**
You must just imagine my relief, doctor,
because I can't express it in words.
**[18:31] Anne**
You know there are some things that
cannot be expressed in words.
**[18:37] Anne**
Isn't it a wonderful morning?
**[18:39] Anne**
I'm so glad I live in a world
where there are white frosts.
**[18:45] Anne**
I'm so sleepy. I can't go to school.
**[18:49] Anne**
But I hate to stay home for
Gil—some of the others
**[18:56] Anne**
will get head of the class.
**[19:00] Matthew**
Well now, I guess you'll manage all right.
**[19:06] Doctor**
That little redheaded girl they have over
at Cuthbert's saved that baby's life.
**[19:12] Doctor**
It would have been too late
by the time I got here.
**[19:16] Mrs. Barry**
Did she really?
**[19:19] Doctor**
I never saw anything like the eyes of her
when she was explaining the case out to me.
**[19:24] Doctor**
I can't express it in words.
**[19:33] Anne**
Welcome home, Marilla.
**[19:36] Marilla**
I guess you're hungry.
**[19:38] Marilla**
There's soup in the pot,
**[19:41] Marilla**
and you can get yourself some
blue plum preserve out of the pantry.
**[19:46] Marilla**
Matthew has been telling
me about last night.
**[19:51] Marilla**
I must say it was fortunate
you knew what to do.
**[19:54] Marilla**
I wouldn't have had any idea myself,
for I never saw a case of croup.
**[19:59] Anne**
Marilla, I—
**[20:00] Marilla**
Don't talk while you're eating!
**[20:04] Marilla**
I can tell by the look of you that
you're just full up with speeches,
**[20:08] Marilla**
but they'll keep.
**[20:16] Marilla**
Mrs. Barry was here this afternoon, Anne.
**[20:19] Marilla**
She says you saved Minnie May's life,
and she is sorry for that affair of the wine.
**[20:27] Marilla**
And she hopes you'll be good
friends with Diana again.
**[20:32] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, can I go right now?
**[20:37] Anne**
I'll wash my dishes when I come back.
**[20:39] Marilla**
Yes, yes, run along.
**[20:42] Marilla**
I'll get your cap and wrap, so—
**[20:47] Marilla**
I might as well call to the wind.
**[20:49] Marilla**
It'll be a mercy if she doesn't
catch her death of cold.
**[20:54] Diana**
Anne!
**[20:56] Anne**
Diana!
**[21:19] Anne**
Just at present, I have
a soul above red hair.
**[21:21] Anne**
It must be lovely to be grown up, Marilla,
**[21:25] Anne**
when just being treated as
if you were is so nice.
**[21:28] Marilla**
I don't know about that.
**[21:31] Anne**
Diana showed me a new fancy crochet stitch.
**[21:35] Anne**
And she gave me a beautiful card
with a wreath of roses on it,
**[21:39] Anne**
and a verse of poetry!
**[21:42] Anne**
And we had fruitcake and...
**[21:44] Diana**
*Dear Anne,*
**[21:46] Diana**
*If you love me*
**[21:49] Diana**
*as I love you...*
**[21:53] Diana**
*Nothing but death*
**[21:53] Anne**
Nothing but death
**[21:58] Diana**
*can part us two.*
**[21:58] Anne**
can part us two.

* but spring is over,*
* and I've turned twelve.*
**[00:09] Anne**
*Today ends the school term.*
**[00:12] Anne**
*Tomorrow begins summer vacation.*
**[00:18] Marilla**
I never thought you were
so fond of Mr. Phillips.
**[00:22] Anne**
I wasn't really so very fond of him.
**[00:25] Anne**
I just cried because all the others did.
**[00:27] Phillips**
The time has come for us to part.
**[00:27] Anne**
Ruby Gillis has always declared
she hated Mr. Phillips,
**[00:32] Anne**
but just as soon as he got up to make his
farewell speech, she burst into tears.
**[00:36] Anne**
Oh, aren't partings heartrending?
**[00:42] Anne**
But one can't feel quite
in the depths of despair
**[00:45] Anne**
with two months vacation
before them, can they?
**[00:49] Anne**
And besides, we met the new minister
and his wife coming from the station!
**[00:53] Anne**
The new minister looks ever so kind.
**[00:57] Anne**
His wife is very pretty!
**[01:01] Anne**
She was dressed in blue muslin
with lovely puffed sleeves.
**[01:05] Anne**
Jane Andrews said she thought puffed sleeves
were too worldly for a minister's wife,
**[01:10] Anne**
but I know what it is to
long for puffed sleeves.
**[01:15] Marilla**
I certainly don't.
**[01:18] Marilla**
Well, I'm glad you like
the look of the wife.
**[01:21] Marilla**
We must have them both up
to tea some day soon.
**[01:24] Anne**
Oh, how lovely!
**[01:25] Marilla**
But don't say a word to Matthew about it.
**[01:29] Marilla**
He'd find some excuse
to be away that day.
**[01:31] Marilla**
A new minister's wife will
frighten him to death.
**[01:37] Anne**
I'll be as secret as the dead.
**[01:38] Anne**
And we'll have a new teacher this fall.
**[01:43] Anne**
Isn't it wonderful meeting new people!

***SIGN*** Let Us Look on the
Bright Side of Things
**[03:21] Anne**
Wait!
**[03:23] Anne**
I've got you!
**[03:28] Diana**
I can't run another step.
**[03:30] Ruby**
Me neither.
**[03:31] Jane**
Then let's play dares next.
**[03:34] Anne; Diana; Ruby; Josie**
Dares?
**[03:36] Jane**
The rules are simple.
**[03:37] Jane**
You dare someone to do something.
**[03:40] Jane**
If they do it right, they win.
If they can't, whoever dared them wins.
**[03:45] Ruby**
That sounds like fun.
**[03:47] Jane**
Who will start?
**[03:48] Josie**
I will.
**[03:50] Josie**
And I dare... Diana!
**[03:53] Josie**
Hop on your right leg around the
garden without stopping once!
**[03:57] Josie**
You lose if your left foot
touches the ground at all.
**[04:00] Diana**
I'll do it!
**[04:04] Anne**
You can do it, Diana!
**[04:06] Anne**
Look at that.
She'll win if she keeps this up.
**[04:10] Josie**
I don't know about that.
**[04:19] Diana**
I guess I lose.
**[04:22] Josie**
That wasn't so hard.
**[04:26] Anne**
I'll dare you next, Josie!
**[04:30] Anne**
Walk the top of that fence!
**[04:45] Josie**
That dare wasn't so hard at all.
**[04:50] Anne**
I don't think it's such a very wonderful
thing to walk a little, low, board fence.
**[04:54] Anne**
I knew a girl who could walk
the ridgepole of a roof.
**[04:58] Josie**
Did you? But *you* couldn't, anyhow.
**[05:01] Anne**
Couldn't I?
**[05:02] Diana**
Anne!
**[05:03] Josie**
Then prove it.
**[05:06] Josie**
Anne Shirley,
**[05:08] Josie**
I dare you to climb up there
and walk the ridgepole.
**[05:13] Diana**
Don't you do it, Anne.
**[05:14] Diana**
You'll fall off and be killed!
**[05:16] Diana**
Josie, it isn't fair to dare anybody
to do anything so dangerous!
**[05:20] Josie**
But Anne doesn't *have* to take the dare.
**[05:24] Josie**
She could always refuse.
**[05:28] Anne**
I'll do it.
**[05:29] Diana**
Anne!
**[05:35] Diana**
Please, Anne! Don't do it!
**[05:38] Anne**
I must do it.
**[05:40] Anne**
My honor is at stake.
**[05:44] Anne**
I shall walk that ridgepole, Diana,
or perish in the attempt.
**[06:26] Diana**
Anne!
**[06:32] Diana; Ruby; Jane; Josie**
Anne!
**[06:40] Diana**
Anne!
**[06:43] Diana**
Anne! Wake up!
**[06:45] Diana**
Anne! Anne!
**[06:47] Diana**
Oh, Anne.
**[06:49] Diana**
Anne, are you killed?
**[06:51] Anne**
I am not certain.
I think I am rendered unconscious.
**[06:54] Diana**
Do you hurt anywhere?
**[06:56] Anne**
My ankle.
**[07:04] Marilla**
Matthew! It's Anne!
**[07:08] Marilla**
Anne!
**[07:09] Marilla**
What has happened to her?!
**[07:10] William**
I think she was walking our
ridgepole and she fell off.
**[07:14] Anne**
Don't be very frightened.
**[07:16] Anne**
I expect I have sprained my ankle.
**[07:18] Anne**
But I might have broken my neck.
**[07:22] Anne**
Let us look on the bright side of things.
**[07:26] Marilla**
B-Bring her in here!
**[07:28] Marilla**
We must send for a doctor!
**[07:30] Marilla**
Anne?
**[07:31] Marilla**
Anne?! Anne!
**[07:34] Doctor**
Her ankle is broken.
**[07:36] Doctor**
Give it six weeks of rest.
**[07:39] Doctor**
Take care.
**[07:41] Marilla**
Thank you.
**[07:43] Anne**
I think I have been punished so much that
you needn't be very cross with me, Marilla.
**[07:50] Anne**
Aren't you very sorry for me?
**[07:53] Marilla**
It was your own fault.
**[07:55] Anne**
But what would you have done, Marilla,
**[07:57] Anne**
if you had been dared to walk a ridgepole?
**[08:01] Marilla**
I'd have stayed on good firm
ground and let them dare away.
**[08:07] Anne**
I won't be able to go
around for six weeks.
**[08:09] Anne**
Isn't it fortunate
I've got such an imagination?
**[08:12] Anne**
It will help me through
splendidly, I expect.
**[08:15] Anne**
What do people who haven't any imagination
do when they break their bones?
**[08:26] Anne**
*It isn't very pleasant to be laid up;*
**[08:29] Lynde**
Anne!
**[08:30] Anne**
*but there is a bright side to it.*
**[08:30] Lynde**
Oh, don't give me such a fright, child!
**[08:34] Mrs. Allan**
How do you feel, Anne?
**[08:34] Anne**
*You find out how many friends you have.*
**[08:35] Mrs. Allan**
Everyone has been worried about you.
**[08:38] Jane**
It was my fault, Miss Cuthbert!
I started the daring.
**[08:43] Josie**
I dared her to walk the ridgepole.
**[08:47] Jane**
So don't punish Anne any more!
**[08:49] Josie**
If you must be cross at
someone, be cross at me!
**[08:52] Marilla**
Why, Anne,
**[08:54] Marilla**
what have you been putting
into these girls' heads?
**[08:57] Diana**
Ta-da!
**[08:59] Anne**
I-Is that what I think it is?
**[09:01] Diana**
Mrs. Morgan's latest!
**[09:03] Diana**
You won't believe the reversal at the end!
**[09:06] Anne**
I can't wait!
**[09:08] Anne**
You've been over every day,
and I can read all the books I like.
**[09:12] Anne**
Invalid life isn't all bad, is it?
**[09:15] Marilla**
Of all the absurdity!
**[09:17] Marilla**
School is back in session.
**[09:20] Marilla**
What about that new teacher?
**[09:23] Diana**
Miss Stacy is perfectly sweet.
**[09:28] Diana**
She has the loveliest fair curly hair
and such fascinating eyes!
**[09:34] Anne**
Every week she has a recitation
**[09:38] Anne**
or takes everyone to study flowers
and birds in the woods.
**[09:41] Anne**
And they have physical culture exercises
every morning and evening.
**[09:43] Anne**
Have you ever seen a teacher
half so splendid?!
**[09:46] Marilla**
There's one thing plain to be seen, Anne,
**[09:49] Marilla**
and that is that your fall off the
Barry roof hasn't injured your tongue at all.
**[10:07] Diana**
We've gotten up to learning this poem.
**[10:19] Stacy**
Good morning, everyone.
**[10:21] Students**
Good morning.
**[10:23] Diana**
Well? Isn't she pretty?
**[10:25] Anne**
Yes.
**[10:26] Stacy**
Anne Shirley's ankle has healed,
and she's come back to school today.
**[10:32] Stacy**
It's a pleasure to meet you, Anne.
**[10:34] Anne**
No, the pleasure is mine!
**[10:43] Anne**
You made all this, Miss Stacy?
**[10:45] Stacy**
Yes, I did.
**[10:46] Diana**
How splendid!
**[10:48] Stacy**
I'll follow your rules and share.
**[10:51] Stacy**
Now, eat up.
**[10:52] Anne**
Oh, thank you!
**[10:56] Anne**
Scrumptious!
**[10:57] Anne**
Please, have some of mine.
**[10:59] Diana**
And mine.
**[11:01] Stacy**
In that case, I don't mind if I do.
**[11:09] Anne**
Wait, where is Miss Stacy?
**[11:19] Stacy**
That concludes our lesson for today,
but I have a suggestion to make.
**[11:24] Stacy**
Why don't we all get up a
concert this Christmas
**[11:28] Stacy**
to help raise money for a schoolhouse flag?
**[11:32] Stacy**
You can see the school doesn't have one.
**[11:34] Stacy**
And besides, I'm sure a concert
will be fun for everybody.
**[11:38] Ruby**
That sounds wonderful!
**[11:40] Carrie**
Simply lovely!
**[11:41] Jimmy**
I'd like to join in.
**[11:43] Fred**
And me!
**[11:44] Stacy**
Then let's decide on a program at once.
**[11:50] Anne**
I love Miss Stacy with my whole heart!
**[11:53] Anne**
She has such a sweet voice.
**[11:55] Anne**
When she pronounces my name I feel
*instinctively* that she's spelling it with an *e*.
**[12:01] Matthew**
Well now, that's nice.
**[12:03] Anne**
And I'm going to recite at
the Christmas concert!
**[12:09] Marilla**
I only hope it does more than take time
that ought to be put on your lessons.
**[12:13] Marilla**
If you have time for gadding about,
better spend it improving your geometry.
**[12:19] Marilla**
I don't approve of children's getting up
concerts and racing about to practices.
**[12:37] Matthew**
Well now, I reckon it's going
to be a pretty good concert.
**[12:45] Matthew**
And I expect you'll do your part fine.
**[12:53] Anne**
Thank you, Matthew.
**[13:02] Anne**
"Dear native brook!"
**[13:04] Anne**
"Wild streamlet of the West!"
**[13:07] Diana**
Splendid, Anne!
**[13:12] Josie**
Say, Anne, what will you
wear to the concert?
**[13:16] Anne**
What will I wear?
**[13:17] Anne**
This, I suppose.
**[13:24] Matthew**
* They all have puffed*
* sleeves! All but Anne!*
**[13:35] Clerk**
What can I do for you this
evening, Mr. Cuthbert?
**[13:38] Matthew**
Have you any—
**[13:40] Matthew**
any—any—well now,
say any garden rakes?
**[13:44] Clerk**
Why, yes.
**[13:50] Clerk**
Anything else tonight, Mr. Cuthbert?
**[13:52] Matthew**
Well now, I might as well—take—
that is—look at—buy some...
**[13:56] Matthew**
some hayseed.
**[13:59] Clerk**
We only keep hayseed in the spring.
**[14:02] Matthew**
Oh, certainly—certainly—
just as you say.
**[14:05] Clerk**
Mr. Cuthbert! You haven't paid.
**[14:06] Matthew**
Oh.
**[14:08] Matthew**
Sorry about that.
**[14:12] Matthew**
Well, now...
**[14:14] Clerk**
Yes, Mr. Cuthbert?
**[14:14] Matthew**
if it isn't too much trouble,
**[14:18] Matthew**
I might as well—that is—
I'd like to look at—at—some...
**[14:23] Marilla**
Brown sugar!
**[14:27] Marilla**
And we have plenty of rakes in the barn.
**[14:31] Matthew**
I thought it might come in handy sometime.
**[14:40] Lynde**
Pick out a dress for you to give Anne?
**[14:41] Matthew**
I couldn't ask Marilla, you see.
**[14:45] Lynde**
Have you something particular in mind?
**[14:49] Matthew**
I dunno. The sleeves...
**[14:51] Lynde**
Puffs? Of course!
**[15:07] Lynde**
I have just what you ordered.
**[15:10] Marilla**
And what *did* you order?
**[15:15] Marilla**
So this is what Matthew has been grinning
about to himself for two weeks, is it?
**[15:24] Anne**
Merry Christmas, Marilla!
**[15:26] Anne**
Merry Christmas, Matthew!
**[15:28] Anne**
Isn't it a lovely Christmas?
I'm so glad it's white.
**[15:34] Anne**
What is the matter?
**[15:40] Matthew**
Here, Anne.
**[15:42] Anne**
Why, Matthew, is that for me?
**[15:45] Matthew**
Open it and see.
**[15:54] Matthew**
You can wear it to your concert tonight.
**[16:03] Matthew**
Why—why—Anne,
don't you like it?
**[16:07] Anne**
*Like* it! Oh, Matthew!
**[16:12] Anne**
Matthew, it's perfectly exquisite!
**[16:17] Anne**
Oh, I can never thank you enough.
**[16:20] Anne**
Oh, it seems to me this
must be a happy dream.
**[16:25] Marilla**
I must say, Anne, I don't
think you needed the dress;
**[16:30] Marilla**
but since Matthew has got it for you,
see that you take good care of it.
**[16:34] Anne**
Of course I will.
**[16:35] Anne**
I swear by these sleeves that
I'll make a success of it.
**[16:40] Anne**
So you *must* come watch me recite.
**[16:43] Matthew**
We will.
**[16:48] Stacy**
That was Ruby and Jane
in *The Faerie Queene*.
**[16:52] Ruby**
Good luck.
**[16:53] Anne**
Thank you.
**[16:54] Stacy**
Next, a recitation of "To the River Otter."
**[16:58] Stacy**
Anne Shirley, please step forward.
**[17:43] Anne**
Dear native brook!
**[17:46] Anne**
wild streamlet of the West!
**[17:51] Anne**
Thy crossing plank,
thy marge with willows grey,
**[17:56] Anne**
And bedded sand that,
veined with various dyes,
**[18:01] Anne**
Gleamed through thy bright transparence!
**[18:05] Anne**
On my way,
**[18:07] Anne**
Visions of childhood!
**[18:09] Anne**
oft have ye beguiled
**[18:12] Anne**
Lone manhood's cares,
**[18:16] Anne**
yet waking fondest sighs:
**[18:20] Anne**
Ah! That once more
I were a careless child!
**[18:41] Diana**
Oh, Anne! That was simply splendid.
**[18:44] Anne**
I couldn't have done without all of you.
**[18:46] Stacy**
Next, Diana Barry will sing
"The Island Hymn."
**[18:51] Diana**
Oh, dear. I feel so nervous.
**[18:54] Diana**
Can I really go up and sing like this?
**[18:56] Anne**
Find your mother and father
in the audience.
**[19:00] Anne**
That should steady your nerves.
**[19:02] Diana**
I could never!
**[19:03] Diana**
Looking at all the people watching
would only make it worse.
**[19:06] Anne**
Then look at me.
**[19:08] Anne**
You should be able to do that,
since I'll be in the front row.
**[19:14] Anne**
Now, look at me—nowhere else—and sing.
**[19:17] Diana**
All right. I'll try.
**[19:19] Anne**
I know you'll bring down the house.
**[19:28] Anne**
Hasn't it been a brilliant evening?
**[19:30] Diana**
Yes. I guess we must have made
as much as ten dollars.
**[19:34] Anne**
I meant your solo, Diana.
**[19:38] Anne**
I felt prouder than you
did when it was encored.
**[19:41] Anne**
I just said to myself, "It is my dear
bosom friend who is so honored."
**[19:47] Diana**
You deserve all the praise, Anne.
**[19:49] Diana**
You never took your eyes off me.
**[19:52] Diana**
And you said something, didn't you?
**[19:57] Diana**
What was it?
**[19:59] Anne**
What did I say?
**[20:11] Anne**
You'll do fine.
**[20:14] Anne**
I think I said, "You'll do fine,"
although I can't be certain.
**[20:19] Diana**
Can't you?
**[20:21] Diana**
I understand, "You'll do fine,"
but don't you know what you said?
**[20:25] Anne**
I said I can't be certain because I can't.
**[20:29] Diana**
Speaking of uncertain things,
**[20:31] Diana**
just before I got on stage...
**[20:34] (Flashback) Diana**
Anne?
**[20:38] Diana**
I saw Gilbert pick up a rose off the floor.
**[20:42] Diana**
I think it was the rose
you wore in your hair.
**[20:46] Anne**
I-It's nothing to me
what that person does.
**[20:50] Diana**
Wait, Anne!
**[20:52] Diana**
I can't be certain,
but I think Gilbert is...
**[20:56] Matthew**
Well now, I guess our Anne
did as well as any of them.
**[21:00] Marilla**
Yes, she did.
**[21:01] Marilla**
I've been kind of opposed to this concert
scheme, but I was proud of Anne tonight.
**[21:06] Matthew**
She's brighter than we
give her credit for.
**[21:11] Marilla**
Yes, she'll need something more
than Avonlea school by and by.
**[21:17] Matthew**
We must see what we can do
for her some of these days.
**[21:26] Marilla**
Matthew, I guess the best thing we can do
for her will be to send her to Queen's.
**[21:36] Matthew**
Well now, it'll do no harm to
be thinking it over off and on.
**[21:44] Marilla**
Mrs. Lynde made that dress a mite too long,
and it makes Anne look so tall.

*As winter drew to an end,*
**[00:09] Anne**
*I was thirteen*
**[00:11] Anne**
* and all wrapped up in*
* schoolwork for Miss Stacy.*
**[00:16] Anne**
Do you know how men propose?
**[00:20] Anne**
Have *you* ever proposed, Matthew?
**[00:22] Matthew**
Well now, no.
**[00:24] Marilla**
Of course he hasn't.
Neither of us is married.
**[00:29] Marilla**
What's gotten into you now?
**[00:30] Anne**
I'm writing a composition for school.
**[00:33] Anne**
A grown-up, romantic story.
**[00:36] Anne**
I'm finding it hard to imagine the proposal
because I have no experience to go by.
**[00:42] Anne**
Do you think I should ask Mrs. Lynde?
**[00:45] Marilla**
What earthly use is it telling stories?
**[00:48] Marilla**
You can waste time on stuff and
nonsense when you're a grown woman.
**[00:54] Anne**
Oh, but I won't be a little girl forever.
**[00:57] Marilla**
You're still a little girl *now*.
**[01:04] Diana**
We only just turned in a composition.
**[01:07] Diana**
The idea of Miss Stacy telling us to
write a story out of our own heads!
**[01:12] Anne**
Why, it's as easy as wink.
**[01:14] Diana**
It's easy for you because
you have an imagination.
**[01:19] Diana**
I suppose you have your
composition all done?
**[01:22] Anne**
Almost, but not quite.
**[01:25] Anne**
It's a sad, sweet story.
**[01:29] Diana**
Oh, I could cry like a
child just hearing that.
**[01:38] Anne**
In two more years,
we'll be really grown up.
**[01:43] (Flashback) Marilla**
You're still a little girl *now*.
**[01:45] Anne**
We'll be so much freer
to do as we like then.
**[01:51] Diana**
In four more years,
we'll be able to put our hair up.
**[01:55] Anne**
Oh, yes!
**[01:59] Anne**
The Minstrel of the Woods!
**[02:01] Diana**
What?
**[02:02] Anne**
That's what I've decided to call him!
**[02:06] Anne**
Oh, wait!
**[02:08] Anne**
I have it, Diana. Why don't you
make him the hero of your story?
**[02:12] Diana**
You must be joking!

That's the spirit, Jimmy!
**[03:58] Anne**
What children!
**[03:59] Anne**
My story is about Cordelia, a regal
brunette with duskly-flashing eyes,
**[04:06] Anne**
and Geraldine, a queenly blonde
with velvety-purple eyes.
**[04:10] Anne**
two beautiful maidens who
lived in the same village
**[04:13] Anne**
and were devotedly attached to each other.
**[04:15] Diana**
Wait!
**[04:16] Diana**
Shouldn't Geraldine have
red hair like you, Anne?
**[04:20] Anne**
No, never.
**[04:22] Anne**
Red hair wouldn't be proper
for the heroine of a story.
**[04:25] Diana**
Do you think so?
**[04:26] Anne**
I know so.
**[04:28] Anne**
They simply must have midnight hair
like you or golden hair like Ruby!
**[04:33] Anne**
And then there was Bertram—
**[04:35] Jimmy**
Gilbert!
**[04:36] Gilbert**
I've got it!
**[04:45] Gilbert**
Sorry.
**[04:48] Jimmy**
You're hopeless at this.
**[04:49] Charlie**
Me next.
**[04:50] Jimmy**
Go for it!
**[04:51] Anne**
Do you think those boys will *ever* grow up?
**[04:53] Jimmy**
Nicely done.
**[04:55] Anne**
And then there was Bertram, a young man
only lately returned to the village.
**[05:01] Anne**
It's called...
**[05:02] Anne**
*The Jealous Rival; or,
in Death Not Divided*.
**[05:08] Anne**
Bertram, young and handsome,
yet impoverished,
**[05:12] Anne**
fell in love with the sixteen-year-old
Geraldine at first sight.
**[05:18] Anne**
Then, one day...
**[05:24] Anne**
the horses pulling Geraldine's
carriage bolted.
**[05:27] Geraldine**
*Help!*
**[05:32] Anne**
But just then, Bertram came running,
**[05:35] Anne**
and he saved Geraldine by a hair's breadth!
**[05:47] Anne**
She fainted in his arms and he
carried her home three miles.
**[05:53] Diana**
Goodness. And then?
Then what became of them?
**[05:56] Anne**
Sweet love!
**[05:59] Anne**
And soon enough, Bertram
proposed to Geraldine.
**[06:03] Diana**
Oh, how lovely!
**[06:05] Diana**
How did he do it?
**[06:07] Anne**
Well...
**[06:08] Diana**
How did Bertram propose?
**[06:13] Anne**
For all my imagination, Diana,
there are things that even I cannot write.
**[06:18] Diana**
Are there really?
**[06:20] Ruby**
You're so good at that!
**[06:22] Ruby**
Do you think I could try, too?
**[06:24] Jimmy**
S-Sure. Here.
**[06:27] Ruby**
Really? Thank you!
**[06:29] Diana**
Ruby might be an authority on proposals,
having so many sisters married.
**[06:35] Ruby**
Let me think...
**[06:37] Ruby**
My sister Susan's beau Malcolm said,
**[06:41] Ruby**
"What do you say, darling pet, if we get
hitched when my dad gives me the farm?"
**[06:45] Ruby**
And Susan said, "Yes—no—
I don't know—let me see."
**[06:51] Ruby**
And there they were, engaged.
**[06:54] Anne**
Th-That's all?
**[06:56] Diana**
Didn't he go on his knees?
**[06:57] Ruby**
Of course not!
**[06:59] Ruby**
That's not done nowadays.
**[07:03] Anne**
I think I will write the proposal
from my imagination after all.
**[07:08] Diana**
Yes.
**[07:08] Lynde**
Proposals?!
**[07:15] Lynde**
Don't take offense.
**[07:17] Lynde**
I've heard what Miss Stacy's
having them write.
**[07:20] Lynde**
A strange way to teach, I must say.
**[07:29] Marilla**
I fear she's wasting time
better spent on lessons.
**[07:34] Matthew**
Anne seems to enjoy it, though.
**[07:38] Lynde**
I don't wonder you've no
end of worries, Marilla.
**[07:41] Lynde**
She may be bright and sweet enough,
but her head is full of nonsense
**[07:45] Lynde**
and there's never any knowing what
shape it'll break out in next.
**[07:51] Anne**
It's good to be home!
**[07:52] Matthew**
Hello, Anne.
**[07:54] Anne**
Good day, Mrs. Lynde!
**[07:56] Lynde**
Good day to you!
**[07:58] Marilla**
Surely she could come
home with less racket.
**[08:14] Anne**
Bertram went on his knees before
Geraldine and proposed!
**[08:19] Diana**
So he *did* kneel!
**[08:21] Anne**
Then Bertram said,
**[08:23] Anne**
"Take these, though they pale
beside your radiant beauty,"
**[08:27] Anne**
and gave her a diamond
ring and a ruby necklace
**[08:30] Anne**
and told her they would go to
Europe for a wedding tour!
**[08:35] Diana**
So Bertram *wasn't* impoverished!
**[08:38] Anne**
No, he was immensely wealthy!
**[08:41] Jimmy**
Sorry to keep you.
**[08:42] Gilbert**
Oh, hey!
**[08:44] Anne**
But Cordelia was simply furious when
Geraldine told her about the engagement.
**[08:49] Anne**
All her affection for Geraldine
turned to bitter hate.
**[08:53] Diana**
What?! But why?!
**[08:54] Anne**
Because... Cordelia was secretly
in love with Bertram herself!
**[08:59] Diana**
No!
**[09:00] Anne**
But she pretended to be
Geraldine's friend the same as ever.
**[09:04] Anne**
One evening she lured Geraldine out and...
**[09:19] Anne**
But Bertram saw it all and he at
once plunged into the current,
**[09:24] Anne**
exclaiming, "I will save thee,
my peerless Geraldine."
**[09:36] Diana**
So they both died, then?
**[09:40] Anne**
As for Cordelia, she went
insane with remorse
**[09:45] Anne**
before the graves in which her bosom friend
and her first love reposed together.
**[09:53] Ruby**
I feel so bad for them!
**[09:55] Jane**
What a sad story!
**[10:00] Jane**
How can I write a lovely story like that?
**[10:04] Ruby**
I want to write one, too.
**[10:05] Diana**
From this day forth, Anne,
we are your pupils!
**[10:10] Anne**
* This was how the story club*
* came into existence.*
**[10:20] Anne**
Diana, the people in your stories
die as soon as you introduce them.
**[10:26] Diana**
I don't know what to do with them next.
**[10:30] Anne**
Then perhaps you should
turn it into a mystery!
**[10:35] Anne**
Make the Minstrel of the Woods
a great detective!
**[10:36] Stoat**
*I have it!*
**[10:39] Diana**
That sounds like fun.
**[10:41] Diana**
But can I really write it?
**[10:42] Anne**
Never fear! I've millions of ideas.
**[10:46] Anne**
Your story is too sensible, Jane.
**[10:49] Anne**
Why don't you put some lovemaking into it?
**[10:52] Jane**
What? But I'd feel so silly
reading it out loud.
**[10:57] Anne**
Then make it so sensible it
will have a wholesome effect.
**[11:01] Anne**
I know! Why don't you put a moral into it?
**[11:04] Anne**
Write so all the good people are rewarded
and all the bad ones are suitably punished.
**[11:10] Jane**
There's an idea.
**[11:12] Anne**
Now, Ruby, you have far too many proposals.
**[11:18] Anne**
Surely three is enough for—
**[11:20] Anne**
Hey, are you listening?
**[11:25] Anne**
So we decided that in the story club,
**[11:28] Anne**
we'll each write a story every week
and read them to each other.
**[11:34] Marilla**
Reading stories is bad enough
but writing them is worse.
**[11:39] Anne**
But we're so careful to put a
moral into them all, Marilla.
**[11:45] Anne**
I'm sure that must have
a wholesome effect.
**[11:47] Marilla**
Well, I'm not so sure!
**[11:55] Diana**
And so, the Minstrel of the Woods solved
the dreadful string of murders.
**[12:03] Diana**
"The gluttons who ate too many poison
mushrooms got their just desserts,"
**[12:09] Diana**
he said and departed back into
the depths of the wood.
**[12:24] Stacy**
Thank you, Diana Barry.
**[12:27] Stacy**
That was an interesting story.
**[12:30] Stacy**
And I see you have a talent for
leadership, Anne Shirley.
**[12:38] Anne**
It kind of puzzles me.
**[12:41] Anne**
Diana sent our very best
to her Aunt Josephine.
**[12:46] Anne**
She's a great reader,
though she has a temper.
**[13:11] Anne**
Miss Josephine Barry wrote back
**[13:12] Anne**
that she had never read anything
so amusing in her life.
**[13:17] Matthew**
Well now, they must have been funny.
**[13:20] Anne**
But they weren't, Matthew!
**[13:22] Anne**
The stories were all very pathetic
and almost everybody died!
**[13:26] Anne**
Jane and Ruby almost always cry when—
**[13:34] Anne**
Mr. Allan laughed at the same place.
**[13:39] Anne**
I meant that to be the most pathetic part.
**[14:02] Marilla**
* It's a satisfaction to know that*
* I'm going home to a snapping wood fire,*
**[14:05] Marilla**
* instead of to the cold comfort of evenings*
* before Anne came to Green Gables.*
**[14:24] Marilla**
Anne!
**[14:29] Marilla**
Where is that girl?
**[14:34] Marilla**
She's gadding off somewhere with Diana,
**[14:40] Marilla**
writing stories or practicing
dialogues or some such tomfoolery.
**[14:43] Marilla**
She's just got to be pulled up short
and sudden on this sort of thing.
**[14:49] Marilla**
Her head is full of nonsense!
**[14:51] Marilla**
But there! Here I am saying the very thing
I was so riled with Rachel Lynde for.
**[15:01] Marilla**
With all her faults, I never found her
disobedient or untrustworthy before
**[15:07] Marilla**
and I'm real sorry to find her so now.
**[15:11] Matthew**
Well now, I dunno.
**[15:18] Marilla**
She'll come hurrying and
breathless any moment now!
**[15:22] Matthew**
Maybe I should go meet
her down by the road.
**[15:26] Marilla**
I'll fetch a light.
**[15:42] Marilla**
Anne? Are you there?
**[15:56] Marilla**
Anne?
**[16:11] Marilla**
Have you been asleep, Anne?
**[16:14] Marilla**
What's wrong? Are you sick?
**[16:17] Anne**
No.
**[16:19] Marilla**
Matthew, Anne is here!
**[16:24] Marilla**
Get right up this minute and come to supper—
**[16:27] Anne**
No!
**[16:28] Anne**
Please, Marilla, go away!
**[16:31] Anne**
And don't look at me!
**[16:33] Marilla**
Anne Shirley, whatever
is the matter with you?
**[16:35] Anne**
Oh, Marilla!
**[16:37] Anne**
I'm in the depths of despair!
**[16:40] Anne**
And I don't care who gets head in class
or writes the best composition any more!
**[16:45] Anne**
I don't suppose I'll ever
be able to go anywhere again.
**[16:48] Anne**
My career is closed!
**[16:53] Marilla**
Anne Shirley!
**[16:57] Marilla**
Anne?
**[17:00] Anne**
Marilla...
**[17:04] Anne**
Look at my hair.
**[17:09] Marilla**
What have you done to your hair?
**[17:12] Marilla**
I've been expecting something
queer for some time.
**[17:17] Matthew**
I'll be.
**[17:20] Marilla**
Dyed your hair! Didn't you know
it was a wicked thing to do?
**[17:25] Anne**
I meant to be extra good in
other ways to make up for it.
**[17:31] Marilla**
Well, if I'd decided to dye my hair,
I'd have dyed it a decent color at least.
**[17:36] Anne**
But I didn't mean to dye it green.
**[17:40] Anne**
He said it would turn my hair
a beautiful raven black.
**[17:46] Marilla**
Anne, who are you talking about?
**[17:49] Anne**
The peddler that was here this afternoon.
**[17:53] Marilla**
A peddler!
**[17:54] Anne**
I think he had a very kind heart.
**[17:57] Anne**
He told me he was working hard
for his wife and children.
**[18:00] Anne**
It touched my heart.
**[18:03] Anne**
I wanted to buy something from him to
help him in such a worthy object.
**[18:06] Anne**
He had a big box full of
very interesting things.
**[18:09] Anne**
Then all at once, I saw
the bottle of hair dye.
**[18:15] Anne**
I only had fifty cents, and he
said it cost seventy-five,
**[18:21] Anne**
but, seeing it was me,
he'd sell it for fifty.
**[18:45] Anne**
Forgive me.
**[18:47] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, when I saw the
dreadful color it turned my hair,
**[18:51] Anne**
I repented of being wicked, I can tell you.
**[18:54] Anne**
And I've been repenting ever since.
**[18:56] Anne**
Well, I hope you'll
repent to good purpose.
**[19:05] Anne**
How is it?
**[19:06] Marilla**
It's no use, Anne.
**[19:08] Anne**
The peddler said it wouldn't wash off.
**[19:14] Marilla**
Then I guess he spoke the
truth about one thing.
**[19:17] Marilla**
At least take a good look at
where your vanity has led you.
**[19:23] Diana**
Never fear, Anne.
**[19:26] Diana**
I haven't told anyone about your hair.
**[19:29] Diana**
I'll take the secret to my grave.
**[19:34] Anne**
I am Anne the green-haired of Green Gables,
**[19:39] Anne**
the unhappiest girl in
Prince Edward Island.
**[19:56] Anne**
I've steeled myself!
**[19:58] Anne**
Please cut it off at once,
Marilla, and have it over.
**[20:01] Marilla**
You're really certain?
**[20:03] Anne**
I am!
**[20:11] Anne**
I'm going to weep all the time you're
cutting it off, if it won't interfere.
**[20:20] Marilla**
It won't.
**[20:42] Anne**
I'll never, never look at myself
again until my hair grows.
**[20:47] Anne**
Yes, I will, too!
**[20:48] Anne**
I'll see how ugly I am.
**[20:52] Anne**
And I won't try to
imagine it away, either.
**[21:06] Anne**
This is me.
**[21:09] Anne**
This is me now.
**[21:14] Student**
What happened, Anne?
**[21:16] Student**
What happened to your hair?
**[21:22] Josie**
Don't you know, Diana?
**[21:24] Josie**
You *are* her best friend.
**[21:28] Josie**
You look like a scarecrow!
**[21:32] Josie**
Duh-dun!
**[21:39] Anne**
* I never thought I could like*
* my red hair, of all things,*
**[21:43] Anne**
* but now I know I did, because it*
* was so long and thick and curly*
**[21:48] Anne**
*and it suited me.*
**[21:58] Stacy**
Now, let's begin our lesson.

**[00:02] Diana**
Anne and I have been
playing here all summer.
**[00:06] Ruby**
What a lovely place.
**[00:08] Jane**
Oh, look!
**[00:10] Jane**
A landing place, and a boat, too.
**[00:13] Diana**
That's my dad's flat-bottomed dory.
**[00:16] Diana**
Would you like to tow out in it?
**[00:18] Diana**
Or maybe go fishing?
**[00:19] Jane**
Either sounds nice.
**[00:24] Anne**
I know. Why don't we dramatize Elaine?
**[00:27] Diana**
From the legends of King Arthur?
**[00:30] Anne**
Yes. The Lady Elaine loved Sir Lancelot,
**[00:34] Anne**
but her passion failed to move him.
**[00:37] Diana**
Because Lancelot loved Guinevere,
the wife of his liege lord, Arthur.
**[00:43] Jane**
Elaine dies of grief.
**[00:46] Ruby**
So her family floats her body down the river
in a barge, like she wrote in her will.
**[00:51] Anne**
And her beloved Lancelot
finds it downstream.
**[00:55] Diana**
Anne, what a wonderful idea!
**[00:57] Diana**
If we let the flat drift
from here to the headland,
**[01:00] Diana**
we can play Elaine's
tragic love perfectly.
**[01:05] Anne**
Then who will be Elaine?
**[01:09] Diana**
I could never have the courage
to float down there.
**[01:13] Jane**
I don't mind floating down when there's
two or three of us in the flat.
**[01:16] Ruby**
But to lie down and pretend
I was dead—I just couldn't.
**[01:19] Anne**
But then who will be Elaine?
**[01:22] Jane**
I think you should, Anne.
**[01:24] Ruby**
Yes, you, Anne.
**[01:26] Anne**
But it's so ridiculous to
have a redheaded Elaine.
**[01:29] Ruby**
Your hair is ever so much darker than
it used to be before you cut it.
**[01:34] Diana**
Yes, and I think it is real pretty.
**[01:37] Anne**
Do you really think so?
***SIGN*** Chapter 7
***SIGN*** I've Been Making Mistakes,
but Each Mistake Has Helped
to Cure Me of My Shortcomings
**[03:18] Anne**
Jane, you will be Elaine's father.
**[03:22] Jane**
All right.
**[03:23] Anne**
Diana and Ruby will be the brothers.
**[03:25] Diana; Ruby**
Yes.
**[03:26] Anne**
What will serve for a white lily?
**[03:29] Diana**
How about this?
**[03:32] Anne**
An iris? That will do nicely.
**[03:35] Jane**
Why, you'd think she was really dead.
**[03:38] Jane**
It makes me feel frightened, girls.
**[03:40] Jane**
Do you suppose it's really
right to act like this?
**[03:42] Anne**
It's perfectly all right.
**[03:44] Anne**
Now, I won't say any more.
**[03:46] Anne**
It's silly for Elaine to be
talking when she's dead.
**[03:53] Diana**
Sister, farewell forever.
**[03:58] Ruby**
Farewell, sweet sister.
**[04:02] Jane**
Oh daughter of mine, farewell.
**[04:18] Diana**
Now, let us all go and wait for
Elaine at the lower headland.
**[04:23] Diana**
As Lancelot and the King
and his wife, Guinevere.
**[04:33] Anne**
*Nothing could be more romantic.*
**[04:37] Anne**
* I wonder how a person must feel,*
* dying on such a peaceful day.*
**[04:49] Anne**
This is no time for being dead!
**[04:51] Anne**
How *should* a person feel when the
barge she's boarded is sinking?!
**[04:56] Anne**
C-Can anybody hear me?!
**[04:59] Anne**
Anybody?!
**[05:01] Anne**
Be calm, Anne.
**[05:03] Anne**
You mustn't lose your self-possession
at a time like this.
**[05:08] Anne**
*Dear God, if you haven't forsaken me,*
**[05:11] Anne**
*please take the flat close to a pile*
**[05:16] Anne**
*and I'll do the rest.*
**[05:26] Jane**
Look, there's Elaine!
**[05:28] Ruby**
She's coming straight toward us!
**[05:30] Diana**
Boats from that landing place
always drift to this headland.
**[05:38] Jane**
Oh, no! Anne's sunk!
**[05:40] Ruby**
We must get help!
**[05:42] Anne**
Here I am!
**[05:44] Anne**
I'm right here!
**[05:48] Anne**
M-My arms...
**[05:50] Anne**
won't last much longer.
**[05:53] Anne**
Oh, Mrs. Hammond, why didn't
you teach me to swim?!
**[06:07] Gilbert**
Anne Shirley!
How on earth did you get there?
**[06:13] Gilbert**
Be careful. Easy does it.
**[06:16] Gilbert**
Let go.
**[06:24] Gilbert**
What has happened, Anne?
**[06:27] Anne**
We were playing Elaine.
**[06:31] Anne**
I had to drift down to Camelot.
**[06:33] Anne**
The flat began to leak and...
**[06:41] Anne**
Will you be kind enough to...
**[07:14] Anne**
I'm very much obliged to you.
**[07:18] Gilbert**
Anne, look here.
**[07:20] Gilbert**
Can't we be good friends?
**[07:24] Gilbert**
I'm awfully sorry I made
fun of your hair that time.
**[07:30] Gilbert**
Honest I am.
**[07:34] Gilbert**
Let's be friends.
**[07:36] Gilbert**
Let's be friends.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Gilbert**
Carrots.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Gilbert**
Carrots.
**[07:50] Anne**
No, I shall never be friends with you,
**[07:55] Anne**
and I don't want to be!
**[08:04] Gilbert**
All right!
**[08:08] Gilbert**
I'll never ask you to be
friends again, Anne Shirley.
**[08:22] Anne**
*Why did I answer him like that?*
**[08:26] Anne**
*Wait. Do I... regret it?*
**[08:30] Diana**
Oh, Anne!
**[08:34] Diana**
What a relief!
**[08:36] Diana**
You mean *Gilbert* rescued you?
**[08:38] Diana**
How splendid of him!
**[08:41] Jane**
Why, it's so romantic!
**[08:43] Jane**
Of course you'll speak to him after this.
**[08:46] Anne**
Of course I won't.
**[08:47] Anne**
And I don't want ever to hear
the word romantic again.
**[08:50] Diana; Jane**
What?
**[08:50] Anne**
I'm awfully sorry you were
so frightened, girls.
**[08:52] Anne**
We've gone and lost your
father's flat, Diana.
**[08:56] Anne**
Everything I do gets me or my
dearest friends into a scrape.
**[09:02] Marilla**
You impossible child!
**[09:04] Marilla**
I went and apologized to Mr. Barry,
**[09:08] Marilla**
though he forgave you because he felt bad
for neglecting the hole in that dory.
**[09:13] Marilla**
And then there were the Blythes.
**[09:18] Marilla**
Will you *ever* have any sense, Anne?
**[09:22] Marilla**
You came within an inch of
losing your fool life.
**[09:27] Anne**
Oh, yes, I think I will, Marilla.
**[09:29] Anne**
I think my prospects of becoming
sensible are brighter now than ever.
**[09:32] Marilla**
I don't see how.
**[09:34] Anne**
Ever since I came to Green Gables,
I've been making mistakes,
**[09:38] Anne**
but each mistake has helped
to cure me of my shortcomings.
**[09:44] Marilla**
And what did nearly drowning
in the pond cure you of?
**[09:48] Anne**
Today's mistake is going to
cure me of being too romantic.
**[09:52] Anne**
Romance is not appreciated now.
**[09:56] Anne**
I feel quite sure that you will soon see a
great improvement in me in this respect.
**[10:02] Marilla**
I'm sure I hope so.
**[10:09] Matthew**
Anne.
**[10:12] Matthew**
Well now, don't give up
all your romance, Anne.
**[10:20] Matthew**
Not too much, of course.
**[10:24] Matthew**
A little of it is a good thing.
**[10:39] Anne**
I'm home!
**[10:41] Marilla**
So you are.
**[10:42] Marilla**
And late, too.
**[10:44] Anne**
Diana and I were only over
in the Haunted Wood.
**[10:47] Marilla**
Miss Stacy was here this afternoon.
**[10:51] Anne**
Oh!
**[10:53] Anne**
She caught me reading *Ben-Hur* in
school yesterday afternoon.
**[11:00] Marilla**
She never mentioned such a thing to me.
**[11:02] Marilla**
Miss Stacy wants to organize a
class among her advanced students
**[11:06] Marilla**
who mean to study for the entrance
examination into Queen's.
**[11:10] Marilla**
And she came to ask Matthew and me if
we would like to have you join it.
**[11:16] Anne**
Truly?
**[11:18] Anne**
But won't it be...
**[11:19] Marilla**
I guess you needn't worry
about the expense.
**[11:22] Marilla**
You can join the Queen's
class if you like, Anne.
**[11:26] Anne**
Oh, Marilla!
**[11:29] Anne**
Of course I'd love to!
**[11:31] Anne**
I'm extremely grateful
to you and Matthew.
**[11:34] Anne**
And I'll study as hard as I can and
do my very best to be a credit to you.
**[11:39] Marilla**
I dare say you will.
**[11:45] Stacy**
Well then, let's stop here for today.
**[11:48] Stacy**
Queen's class, stay behind.
**[11:51] Stacy**
Everybody else, please take
care getting home.
**[11:54] Students**
Yes, Miss Stacy.
**[11:58] Diana**
Well, I'll be going now.
**[12:00] Anne**
All right.
**[12:01] Anne**
Till tomorrow.
**[12:02] Anne**
I'll see you tomorrow...
**[12:05] Diana**
Study hard.
**[12:08] Anne**
*We've never been separated in anything.*
**[12:10] Diana**
Goodbye.
**[12:15] Anne**
* Now Diana will have to walk home alone*
* through Lover's Lane and Violet Vale.*
**[12:24] Stacy**
We should all have a purpose in life
**[12:28] Stacy**
and pursue it faithfully.
**[12:32] Stacy**
But we must first make sure
that it is a worthy purpose.
**[12:36] Marilla**
You'll just have to live with it.
**[12:39] Marilla**
Diana's parents don't intend
to send her to Queen's.
**[12:45] Anne**
It is a lesson that we can't have things
perfect in this imperfect world.
**[12:51] Marilla**
Now, what do you think of
the Queen's class?
**[12:55] Anne**
I think the Queen's class is going
to be extremely interesting.
**[12:58] Anne**
The competition makes
studying feel worthwhile.
**[13:01] Marilla**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[13:03] Anne**
We discussed our life's
ambitions on the walk home.
**[13:07] Marilla**
Did you? That's an awfully
long time to be thinking of.
**[13:10] Anne**
Miss Stacy told us it is
important to have one.
**[13:16] Anne**
We all thought it over.
**[13:18] Anne**
Ruby says...
**[13:19] (Flashback) Ruby**
My ambition is marriage.
**[13:22] (Flashback) Ruby**
I'll teach for two years after I get through,
and then I intend to be married.
**[13:29] Anne**
And Jane says...
**[13:30] (Flashback) Jane**
I'll devote my whole life to teaching.
**[13:34] (Flashback) Jane**
And I'll never, *never* marry.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Ruby**
Why not?
**[13:37] (Flashback) Jane**
Because you are paid a salary for teaching,
but a husband won't pay you anything.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Jane**
Just look at my father.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Jane**
He's meaner than second skimmings.
**[13:49] Anne**
Josie says...
**[13:51] (Flashback) Josie**
*I* won't have to earn my own living.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Josie**
I'm just going to college
for education's sake.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Anne**
Your family does have plenty of money.
**[13:59] (Flashback) Josie**
Yes, unlike orphans who are
living on charity.
**[14:05] (Flashback) Josie**
It must be hard, having to hustle to
make your own way in the world.
**[14:11] Marilla**
Take no notice of that rude girl!
**[14:15] Anne**
I don't intend to.
**[14:16] Anne**
Moody Spurgeon is going to be a minister.
**[14:21] Anne**
Charlie Sloane says he's
going to go into politics.
**[14:24] Marilla**
He'll have a hard time of it.
The Sloanes are all honest people.
**[14:29] Anne**
That's true enough.
**[14:31] Marilla**
Tell me,
**[14:32] Marilla**
what is Gilbert Blythe going to be?
**[14:36] (Flashback) Gilbert**
All right!
**[14:39] (Flashback) Gilbert**
I'll never ask you to be
friends again, Anne Shirley.
**[14:46] Anne**
I don't happen to know what Gilbert Blythe's
ambition in life is—if he has any.
**[14:52] Marilla**
In that case, Anne, what about yours?
**[14:58] Anne**
M-Mine?
**[15:00] Anne**
Well, I suppose...
**[15:03] Anne**
My purpose in life is to...
**[15:07] Anne**
*What an awful dilemma.*
**[15:09] Anne**
* I need to find a purpose worth devoting*
* my life to right this minute.*
**[15:16] Anne**
I wonder if Diana was
all right on her own.
**[15:20] Diana**
I'll be fine.
**[15:22] Diana**
Carrie and Julia say they'll
walk home with me today.
**[15:25] Diana**
So concentrate on your studies, Anne.
**[15:29] Anne**
Th-Thank you.
**[15:31] Diana**
Your purpose in life?
**[15:34] Anne**
Yes.
**[15:35] Anne**
So, what would you think of living
together when we grow up?
**[15:40] Anne**
We'll both earn our livings and be together
even when we're nice old maids!
**[15:45] Diana**
That does sound like fun.
**[15:46] Anne**
Doesn't it just?
**[15:47] Diana**
But wait. A purpose in life should
have a worthier object.
**[15:53] Diana**
Say, marrying some wild,
dashing, wicked young man
**[15:57] Diana**
and reforming him with my love.
**[16:00] Diana**
Doesn't that sound more noble?
**[16:13] Stacy**
Why, Anne. What brings you here?
**[16:15] Anne**
Miss Stacy...
**[16:17] Stacy**
Yes?
**[16:18] Anne**
How should I go about finding
my purpose in life?
**[16:23] Anne**
Everybody else knows just
what they want to be,
**[16:28] Anne**
but I haven't made up my mind yet.
**[16:34] Stacy**
I don't think you need to rush.
**[16:37] Stacy**
You've been doing good work,
**[16:40] Stacy**
so you should take your time looking.
**[16:43] Anne**
But what if I never find it?
**[16:46] Stacy**
I can see what I said has
been bothering you.
**[16:50] Stacy**
Think of it this way, then.
**[16:53] Stacy**
Passing the entrance into Queen's
is your purpose for the time being,
**[16:57] Stacy**
and you'll think of what comes
next once you've done that.
**[17:01] Stacy**
A good ambition needn't be a grand one.
**[17:05] Stacy**
Try to make the most of
each day as it comes.
**[17:09] Anne**
"Make the most of each day."
**[17:14] Anne**
All right! I'll try my best.
**[17:17] Stacy**
Don't work yourself to any extreme, now.
**[17:19] Anne**
Thank you very much.
**[17:20] Anne**
If you'll excuse me.
**[17:23] Stacy**
Take care.
**[17:28] Anne**
Miss Stacy! I l-l-love you!
**[17:32] Stacy**
My!
**[17:35] Anne**
*The days slipped by,*
**[17:40] Anne**
*spring came again,*
**[17:42] Anne**
*and I turned fourteen.*
**[17:45] Stacy**
Two of you earned full marks
on yesterday's test.
**[17:49] Stacy**
Anne and Gilbert.
**[17:54] Anne**
* Day by day, I made the most*
* of what lay before me,*
**[17:59] Anne**
* and each day shone like a golden*
* bead on the necklace of the year.*
**[18:07] Anne**
* When summer came,*
* and studies stalled a wee bit,*
**[18:13] Anne**
*rumors ran at large through the school.*
**[18:17] Harry**
Hey, have you heard?
**[18:18] Sam**
Oh, I heard all right.
**[18:20] Alice**
She got offered a position
in her home district.
**[18:23] Julia**
Did she really?
**[18:25] Anne**
Good morning.
**[18:26] Diana**
Good morning.
**[18:27] Jane**
Have you heard?
**[18:28] Anne**
Heard what?
**[18:29] Jane**
Miss Stacy is going to leave the
Avonlea School this summer.
**[18:36] Diana**
It's only a rumor. We can't be sure yet.
**[18:40] Anne**
Yes, but still...
**[18:42] Diana**
Why not ask Miss Stacy herself?
**[18:47] Anne**
I can't. I don't dare.
**[18:50] Diana**
Neither do I.
**[18:51] Stacy**
The term ends today.
**[18:55] Stacy**
But you've done good work this past year,
**[18:58] Stacy**
and you deserve a good, jolly vacation.
**[19:04] Stacy**
Have the best time you can
in the out-of-door world
**[19:06] Stacy**
and lay in a good stock of health
and vitality and ambition.
**[19:10] Stacy**
It will be the tug of war, you know—
the last year before the Entrance.
**[19:17] Stacy**
Is something the matter?
**[19:20] Josie**
I have a question.
**[19:22] Stacy**
Yes? What is it?
**[19:23] Josie**
Are you going to be back
next year, Miss Stacy?
**[19:28] Josie**
I've heard you've been offered a position
in another school and mean to accept.
**[19:34] Anne**
Please don't leave, Miss Stacy!
**[19:38] Gilbert**
I want to learn so much more from you!
**[19:42] Moody**
So do I!
**[19:43] Jane**
Don't go away!
**[19:44] Ruby**
Stay on, Miss Stacy!
**[19:46] Students**
Please! Don't go!
**[19:51] Stacy**
*All of you...*
**[19:55] Stacy**
Yes, I was offered another school.
**[20:04] Stacy**
But I have decided
to come back to Avonlea.
**[20:11] Stacy**
I thought of taking a school
in my home district,
**[20:15] Stacy**
but to tell the truth,
**[20:16] Stacy**
I've grown so interested in my pupils here
that I found I couldn't leave them.
**[20:21] Stacy**
So I'll stay and see you through.
**[20:26] Charlie; Moody**
Hurrah! Hurrah!
**[20:30] Charlie; Jane; Moody**
Hurrah! Hurrah!
**[20:34] Stacy**
All of you...
**[20:37] Stacy**
Thank you.
**[20:43] Anne**
Listen, Jane. I've found
my purpose in life.
**[20:50] Anne**
I've had a vague idea of it all this time,
**[20:54] Anne**
but today it turned to certainty.
**[20:58] Jane**
You too, Anne?
**[21:03] Anne**
Yes.
**[21:04] Anne**
We all have.
**[21:12] Anne**
Marilla, I'm going to be a teacher!
**[21:15] Anne**
I'll get a First-Class license and
be a teacher like Miss Stacy!
**[21:20] Anne**
That is my purpose!
**[21:22] Marilla**
I told you, you needn't think so grand.
**[21:25] Marilla**
But I had a feeling you'd say that.
**[21:28] Anne**
I shall take more interest
than ever in my studies now.
**[21:33] Marilla**
I dare say you'll get along well enough.
**[21:36] Marilla**
You needn't rush to any extreme of
killing yourself over your books.
**[21:40] Marilla**
There is no hurry.
**[21:41] Anne**
Yes, I know.
**[21:43] Anne**
But I must tell Matthew about—
**[21:47] Marilla**
Matthew?
**[21:53] Marilla**
Matthew!
**[21:55] Marilla**
What's the matter with you?
**[22:00] Marilla**
Matthew!

**[00:01] Anne**
* I decided that it was my*
* ambition to be a teacher.*
**[00:06] Anne**
* That very day, Matthew fell*
* down clutching at his heart.*
**[00:12] Anne**
* Though, to my great relief,*
* no lasting harm came of it.*
**[00:18] Lynde**
And how has Matthew been since?
**[00:21] Marilla**
He had a bad spell, but he's
all right again now.
**[00:26] Lynde**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[00:28] Marilla**
The doctor says he must be
careful to avoid excitement.
**[00:32] Marilla**
That's easy enough, for Matthew doesn't go
about looking for excitement by any means.
**[00:37] Lynde**
That he doesn't.
**[00:39] Marilla**
But he's not to do any
very heavy work either
**[00:42] Marilla**
and you might as well tell Matthew
not to breathe as not to work.
**[00:48] Lynde**
And so you hired the boy?
**[00:51] Marilla**
Yes. His name's Jerry Buote.
**[00:54] Marilla**
We hired him to help with the heavy work.
**[00:57] Lynde**
That does sound helpful.
**[01:00] Anne**
Marilla, where is today's paper?!
**[01:02] Marilla**
It's right there.
**[01:06] Marilla**
What has you in such a hurry?
**[01:09] Anne**
The pass list for Queen's is out.
**[01:12] Anne**
M-My name isn't on it!
**[01:16] Anne**
And Gilbert came first?
**[01:19] Anne**
No...
**[01:20] Anne**
I... I don't believe it!
**[01:25] Anne**
No!
**[01:35] Stacy**
That's enough, class.
**[01:38] Stacy**
It sounds as though one of
us is too hungry to go on.
**[01:43] Stacy**
Why don't we break for lunch?
***SIGN*** Chapter 8

**[03:27] Diana**
Whatever did you doze off in class for?
**[03:30] Diana**
It hardly sounds like you.
**[03:32] Anne**
I had a dream that
I flunked the Entrance.
**[03:35] Diana**
Oh, dear.
**[03:36] Stacy**
I can see you're wearing yourself out.
**[03:39] Anne**
Miss Stacy.
**[03:40] Stacy**
The exams are not till next
summer, a long time off yet.
**[03:45] Stacy**
Your head will burst if you cram it
too full, and I wouldn't want that!
**[03:52] Stacy**
Remember, learning should be fun.
**[03:55] Anne**
Yes, Miss Stacy.
**[03:59] Anne**
* It was a jolly, busy, happy*
* swift-flying winter.*
**[04:04] Anne**
* Then came spring, and with*
* it my fifteenth year.*
**[04:13] Anne**
Here.
**[04:14] Marilla**
Th-Thank you.
**[04:25] Matthew**
Jerry's a great help.
He does whatever's needed.
**[04:31] Matthew**
Marilla, what's come over you?
**[04:35] Marilla**
I was thinking about Anne.
**[04:38] Marilla**
She's got to be such a big girl.
**[04:41] Matthew**
She has, hasn't she?
**[04:44] Marilla**
And she'll probably be
away from us next winter.
**[04:50] Matthew**
She'll be able to come home often.
**[04:54] Matthew**
The branch railroad will be
built to Carmody by that time.
**[05:02] Marilla**
I suppose so.
**[05:09] Marilla**
You don't chatter half
as much as you used to,
**[05:14] Marilla**
Anne, nor use half as many big words.
**[05:18] Marilla**
What has come over you?
**[05:21] Anne**
I don't know—I don't
want to talk as much.
**[05:25] Anne**
It's almost a pity, isn't it,
**[05:27] Anne**
now that I'm really growing big enough
to say big words if I did want to.
**[05:31] Anne**
It's fun to be almost
grown up in some ways,
**[05:35] Anne**
but there's so much to learn and do and
think that there isn't time for big words.
**[05:42] Marilla**
Do you think you'll be able
to get through the Entrance?
**[05:45] Anne**
I'm enjoying my studies.
**[05:48] Anne**
But it haunts me.
**[05:52] Anne**
Sometimes I wake up in the night and
wonder what I'll do if I don't pass.
**[05:57] Anne**
If I don't get through, I will never recover
sufficiently to enjoy another spring.
**[06:04] Marilla**
Why, go to school next year and try again.
**[06:08] Anne**
Oh, I don't believe
I'd have the heart for it.
**[06:11] Anne**
It would be such a disgrace to
fail, especially if Gil—
**[06:16] Anne**
if the others passed.
**[06:23] Anne**
Weren't Miss Stacy's
farewell words wonderful?
**[06:27] Anne**
There wasn't a dry eye in the school.
**[06:29] Diana**
It does seem as if it was the end
of everything, doesn't it?
**[06:33] Anne**
You oughtn't to feel
half as badly as I do.
**[06:38] Anne**
You'll be back again next winter,
**[06:40] Anne**
but I suppose I've left the
dear old school forever—
**[06:43] Anne**
if I have good luck, that is.
**[06:47] Diana**
It won't be a bit the same.
Miss Stacy won't be there,
**[06:52] Diana**
nor you nor Jane nor Ruby probably.
**[06:55] Anne**
Please Diana, don't cry.
**[07:00] Anne**
You'll start me off again.
**[07:07] Diana**
The Entrance is just next week now, isn't it?
**[07:11] Anne**
Yes.
**[07:12] Anne**
Miss Stacy said that when
we arrive in town,
**[07:15] Anne**
we are to go out walking and not think about
the exams at all and go to bed early.
**[07:21] Anne**
It's good advice, but I expect
it will be hard to follow.
**[07:23] Diana**
I do wish I were going in with you.
**[07:28] Diana**
You can't cram every night,
and you're sure to be homesick.
**[07:35] Anne**
I'll write to you.
**[07:36] Diana**
Oh yes, do!
**[07:38] Anne**
I'll write Tuesday night and
tell you how the first day goes.
**[07:42] Diana**
I'll be haunting the post
office Wednesday morning.
**[07:46] Anne**
The post won't come as fast as that, Diana.
**[07:49] Diana**
I guess it won't.
**[08:01] Postman**
Whoa, there.
**[08:03] Diana**
Pardon me! Do you have a letter
for me, by any chance?
**[08:05] Postman**
Let me see.
**[08:07] Postman**
Diana... Diana Barry.
**[08:10] Postman**
Here you are, miss.
**[08:11] Diana**
Oh, thank you!
**[08:17] Anne**
*Dearest Diana,*
**[08:18] Anne**
* here it is Tuesday night, and*
* I'm writing this in my boarding house room.*
**[08:23] Anne**
*When we reached the Academy,*
**[08:25] Anne**
* there were scores of students*
* there from all over the Island.*
**[08:29] Anne**
* Jane and I sat together and Jane was*
* so composed that I envied her.*
**[08:35] Anne**
*I wondered if I looked as I felt*
**[08:37] Anne**
* and if they could hear my heart*
* thumping clear across the room.*
**[08:42] Anne**
* My hands grew cold then and my*
* head fairly whirled around*
**[08:47] Anne**
* as I picked the English*
* examination sheet.*
**[08:51] Anne**
* Just one awful moment and then*
* everything cleared up in my mind,*
**[08:55] Anne**
* for I knew I could do something*
* with that paper anyhow.*
**[09:01] Anne**
* At noon, we went home for dinner and then*
* back again for history in the afternoon.*
**[09:04] Anne**
*The history was a pretty hard paper.*
**[09:06] Anne**
*Still, I think I did fairly well today.*
**[09:07] Jane**
How was it?
**[09:08] Gilbert**
Passable, I guess.
**[09:11] Anne**
* Ruby was in hysterics when*
* I reached their boardinghouse;*
**[09:13] Anne**
* she had just discovered a fearful mistake*
* she had made in her English paper.*
**[09:18] Anne**
* When she recovered, we went*
* uptown and had an ice cream.*
**[09:24] Anne**
*How we wished you had been with us.*
**[09:27] Anne**
* Oh, Diana, if only the geometry*
* examination were over!*
**[09:33] Anne**
* But there, the sun will go on rising and*
* setting whether I fail in geometry or not.*
**[09:40] Anne**
*I think I'd rather it
*didn't *go on if I failed!*
**[09:45] Anne**
*Yours devotedly, Anne.*
**[10:03] Marilla**
You'd think they hadn't seen
each other in decades.
**[10:08] Diana**
Anne!
**[10:10] Anne**
Diana!
**[10:11] Diana**
Anne!
**[10:13] Anne**
You old darling!
**[10:14] Diana**
It's perfectly splendid
to see you back again.
**[10:16] Diana**
It seems like an age
since you went to town.
**[10:17] Anne**
To me, too, Diana.
**[10:19] Diana**
Oh, Anne! How did you get along?
**[10:22] Anne**
Pretty well, I think, in
everything but the geometry.
**[10:25] Diana**
How did the others do?
**[10:27] Anne**
The girls say they know they didn't pass,
but I think they did pretty well.
**[10:32] Anne**
But we don't really know anything about
it and won't until the pass list is out.
**[10:36] Diana**
I can hardly wait.
**[10:38] Anne**
Fancy living a fortnight in such suspense!
**[10:41] Anne**
I wish I could go to sleep and
never wake up until it is over.
**[10:46] Diana**
Oh, you'll pass all right. Don't worry.
**[10:49] Anne**
I certainly hope so!
**[10:51] Anne**
Oh, how good it is to be back!
**[10:54] Anne**
Green Gables is the dearest,
loveliest spot in the world.
**[11:02] Diana**
Well?
**[11:04] Anne**
It's not here. It was supposed
to be out in a fortnight.
**[11:11] Martin**
Say, who do you think
will pass the Entrance?
**[11:14] Lewis**
Anne and Gilbert are the
best Avonlea's got.
**[11:18] Martin**
Want to bet on which of
them comes out on top?
**[11:20] Lewis**
You're on!
**[11:21] Josie**
I'll take that bet, too.
**[11:23] Josie**
Anyone can see that
Gilbert will place higher.
**[11:26] Martin**
You've got that right.
**[11:27] Lewis**
I'm for Gilbert, too.
**[11:28] Josie**
We can't *all* bet on Gilbert.
**[11:31] Anne**
I'd rather not pass at all than not
come out pretty well up on the list!
**[11:36] Diana**
Anne, wait!
**[11:40] Diana**
I don't think the list is out yet.
**[11:42] Gilbert**
Oh, it isn't?
**[11:42] Diana**
Anne, wait!
**[11:49] Marilla**
Won't you eat something, Anne?
**[11:53] Anne**
My appetite has failed after
three weeks with no news.
**[11:58] Anne**
I don't care how high I pass now,
just so long as I do.
**[12:01] Anne**
What if the others pass and I fail?
**[12:05] Matthew**
You'll beat the whole island.
**[12:10] Marilla**
Really, Matthew, that's
too much to hope for.
**[12:13] Matthew**
I know you will.
**[12:32] Anne**
Diana!
**[12:33] Diana**
Father brought the paper home from
Bright River not ten minutes ago!
**[12:37] Diana**
It won't be here till tomorrow by mail!
**[12:39] Diana**
Anne, you've passed!
**[12:42] Diana**
Passed the very first!
You and Gilbert both—you're ties!
**[12:46] Diana**
But your name is first.
**[12:49] Diana**
Oh, I'm so proud!
**[12:52] Diana**
You've all passed, every one of you.
**[12:54] Anne**
Oh, good...
**[12:56] Diana**
You must tell Miss and Mr. Cuthbert.
**[12:59] Women**
Well done, Anne!
**[13:02] Women**
What an achievement!
**[13:04] Lynde**
You're a credit to your friends, Anne,
that's what, and we're all proud of you.
**[13:11] Anne**
Thank you, Mrs. Lynde.
**[13:13] Marilla**
You've done pretty
well, I must say, Anne.
**[13:16] Anne**
Yes, but I never dreamed I'd come fir—
**[13:20] Anne**
Oh, Matthew!
**[13:24] Anne**
I've passed, and I'm first!
**[13:27] Matthew**
Well now, I always said it!
**[13:31] Anne**
Yes, and you were right!
**[13:42] Marilla**
A concert?
**[13:44] Anne**
An invitation from the White Sands Hotel!
**[13:47] Anne**
They want me to recite!
**[13:50] Anne**
Oh, I never dreamed I would
get to perform at a concert!
**[13:53] Matthew**
They're bound to encore you.
**[13:57] Marilla**
I don't call it proper, a lot of
young folks gadding over to the hotel
**[14:02] Marilla**
without any responsible person with them.
**[14:04] Anne**
But I can go, can't I, Marilla?!
**[14:09] Marilla**
Oh, very well.
**[14:11] Diana**
Hold still, Anne!
**[14:13] Diana**
Don't pull out a single
curl over your forehead.
**[14:16] Diana**
I'm going to braid your hair in two
thick braids and tie them halfway up.
**[14:20] Anne**
Shall I put my pearl beads on?
**[14:23] Anne**
Matthew brought me a string from town.
**[14:26] Diana**
Yes, but put on your
organdy, by all means!
**[14:30] Anne**
If you say so.
**[14:32] Anne**
Oh, Diana, I love this
little room so dearly.
**[14:35] Anne**
I don't know how I'll get along without
it when I go to town next month.
**[14:39] Diana**
Don't speak of your going away tonight.
I don't want to think of it,
**[14:43] Diana**
it makes me so miserable, and I do want
to have a good time this evening.
**[14:48] Anne**
And what happened then?
**[14:50] Diana**
Do you really want to know?
**[14:51] Jane**
Well, if you can credit it...
**[15:09] Anne**
*Oh, dear. I don't know if I belong.*
**[15:21] White Lace Girl**
I smell country bumpkins.
**[15:24] White Lace Girl**
Some rustic belle is going to recite
a poem. It should be such fun.
**[15:30] Emcee**
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,
to the White Sands Hotel concert.
**[15:37] Anne**
*Wh-Whatever shall I do? I don't feel ready.*
**[15:41] Anne**
*I wish I were in the audience with them.*
**[15:43] Anne**
*Oh, if I were only back at Green Gables!*
**[16:00] White Lace Girl**
Oh, look! There's Mrs. Evans!
**[16:01] White Lace Girl**
The professional elocutionist, you know.
**[16:10] Evans**
The flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow dies;
**[16:14] Evans**
All that we wish to stay
Tempts and then flies.
**[16:19] Evans**
What is this world's delight?
**[16:21] Evans**
Lightning that mocks the night,
**[16:23] Evans**
Brief even as bright.
**[16:24] Evans**
Virtue, how frail it is!
Friendship how rare!
**[16:24] Anne**
*I can never get up and recite after her!*
**[16:25] Evans**
Love, how it sells poor bliss
For proud despair!
**[16:27] Evans**
But we, though soon they fall,
**[16:28] Anne**
* I want to go home to Green*
* Gables this instant!*
**[16:29] Evans**
Survive their joy, and all
Which ours we call.
**[16:30] Evans**
Whilst skies are blue and bright,
Whilst flowers are gay,
**[16:32] Evans**
Whilst eyes that change ere night
Make glad the day;
**[16:35] Evans**
Whilst yet the calm hours creep,
Dream thou—and from thy sleep
**[16:40] Evans**
Then wake to weep.
**[16:49] Emcee**
Next, Anne Shirley will
recite "The Maiden's Vow."
**[16:59] Anne**
* What can I do after that*
* magnificent recitation?*
**[17:07] Anne**
* Perhaps I should flee, even if it*
* means an eternity of humiliation.*
**[17:12] Anne**
*Josie Pye! Gilbert!*
**[17:15] Anne**
*No! I will* not *run away!*
**[17:18] Anne**
*Just you watch!*
**[17:21] Anne**
I've made a vow, I'll keep it true,
**[17:25] Anne**
I'll never married be;
**[17:28] Anne**
For the only ane that I think on
Will never think o' me.
**[17:32] Anne**
Now gane to a far distant shore,
**[17:35] Anne**
Their face nae mair I'll see;
**[17:38] Anne**
But often will I think o' them,
**[17:41] Anne**
That winna think o' me.
**[17:44] Anne**
Gae owre, gae owre noo, gude Sir John,
Oh, dinna follow me;
**[17:51] Anne**
For the only ane I ere thocht on,
Lies buried in the sea.
**[18:12] Painter**
If you don't mind my asking...
**[18:22] Pink Lady**
My dear, you did splendidly!
**[18:25] Pink Lace**
There, they're encoring you—
they're bound to have you back!
**[18:27] Anne**
Oh, I can't go.
**[18:29] Pink Lady**
What? Turn down this honor?
**[18:32] Anne**
But yet...
**[18:35] (Flashback) Matthew**
They're bound to encore you.
**[18:40] Anne**
I must, or Matthew will be disappointed.
**[18:43] Pink Lady**
Then don't disappoint Matthew.
**[18:48] Anne**
I won't!
**[18:53] Anne**
Be kind and tender to the Frog,
**[18:56] Anne**
And do not call him names.
**[19:00] Anne**
'Ribbity-eek'! 'Ahh-keep away'!
**[19:04] Anne**
'Slimy-bumpy skin'! 'Croakity-blargh'!
**[19:09] Anne**
The Frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.
**[19:12] Anne**
No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair...
**[19:20] Pink Lady**
You really were wonderful.
**[19:24] Pink Lady**
I've been crying like a
baby, actually I have.
**[19:27] Anne**
Thank you very much.
**[19:29] Pink Lady**
Please, accept this for the
gift of such lovely poems.
**[19:34] Anne**
O-Oh, I couldn't possibly!
**[19:37] Evans**
Anne Shirley?
**[19:39] Anne**
Mrs. Evans.
**[19:41] Evans**
I could hear how deeply you
appreciate those poems,
**[19:44] Evans**
and you have a charming voice.
**[19:47] Anne**
Th-Thank you very much!
**[19:56] Jane**
Hasn't it been a perfectly splendid time?
**[19:59] Jane**
Anne, your recitation was simply great.
**[20:02] Jane**
I think it was better than Mrs. Evans's.
**[20:05] Anne**
Oh, no, don't say things like that, Jane.
**[20:09] Anne**
It couldn't be better than Mrs. Evans's,
you know, for she is a professional,
**[20:12] Anne**
and I'm only a schoolgirl,
with a little knack of reciting.
**[20:15] Anne**
I'm quite satisfied if the people
just liked mine pretty well.
**[20:22] Diana**
I've a compliment for you, Anne.
**[20:25] Diana**
There was an American sitting behind Jane
and me. Well, we heard him say...
**[20:29] (Flashback) Painter**
Who is that girl on the platform
with the splendid Titian hair?
**[20:34] Diana**
Josie Pye says he is a
distinguished artist.
**[20:38] Jane**
But what does Titian hair mean?
**[20:40] Jane**
We should have asked.
**[20:42] Anne**
Being interpreted it means
plain red, I guess.
**[20:45] Diana**
He did an awful lot of
sketches over supper,
**[20:50] Diana**
so I got one for you.
**[20:55] Anne**
I'm not nearly so pretty.
**[20:58] Diana**
Oh, but you are.
**[21:00] Diana**
It looks just like you.
**[21:05] Jane**
*Did* you see all the diamonds
those ladies wore?
**[21:09] Jane**
Wouldn't you just love to be rich, girls?
**[21:15] Anne**
We *are* rich.
**[21:17] Jane**
Are we? How?
**[21:19] Anne**
Why, we have fifteen years to our
credit, and we're happy as queens,
**[21:24] Anne**
and we've all got
imaginations, more or less.
**[21:27] Anne**
Look at that sea, girls.
**[21:29] Anne**
all silver and shadow and
vision of things not seen.
**[21:36] Anne**
I don't want to be anyone but myself,
**[21:39] Anne**
even if I go uncomforted
by diamonds all my life.
**[21:43] Anne**
I'm content to be Anne of Green Gables,
with my string of pearl beads.
**[21:49] Anne**
And quite content to be
red-haired Anne Shirley,
**[21:53] Anne**
with a bosom friend who has a charming
smile and dresses me to perfection.

*Passing the Queen's Entrance*
**[00:05] Anne**
* meant that I would be leaving*
* Avonlea come fall.*
**[00:10] Diana**
You must write me every day.
**[00:13] Anne**
We aren't parting forever, you know?
**[00:15] Anne**
But I will write often.
**[00:17] Marilla**
You take care, now.
**[00:20] Anne**
I will. And I'll come home on weekends.
**[00:27] Diana**
Anne!
**[01:28] Matthew**
There never was a luckier mistake
than what Mrs. Spencer made.
**[01:35] Marilla**
I suppose not.
**[01:37] Matthew**
It was Providence,
**[01:41] Matthew**
because the Almighty saw
we needed her, I reckon.

**[03:37] Jane**
I can't help admiring you, Anne.
**[03:39] Jane**
I mean, a First-Class teacher's
license in one year?
**[03:43] Ruby**
We'll be doing Second-Class
work in the same time.
**[03:47] Ruby**
It normally takes two years for a
First-Class license, doesn't it?
**[03:50] Anne**
Miss Stacy advised me to
take up Second-Year work.
**[03:54] Anne**
I'll work hard and hope
I'm equal to the challenge.
**[03:57] Jane**
Won't Gilbert be in your class, then?
**[04:01] Jane**
Why don't you forget the past
and be friends with him?
**[04:10] Jane**
I think you're being impossible.
**[04:12] Jane**
You don't know anyone else in
your class but Gilbert, do you?
**[04:16] Ruby**
Oh, Gilbert!
**[04:21] Ruby**
Good morning.
**[04:22] Ruby**
We're at a school, but I hope
we'll all stay friends.
**[04:25] Gilbert**
Sure.
**[04:26] Ruby**
Why, Gilbert, that shirt
looks fetching on you.
**[04:30] Gilbert**
Oh, thank you.
**[04:38] Anne**
*Dearest Diana,*
**[04:40] Anne**
* It is so lonesome now I cannot bear it,*
* surrounded by unfamiliar faces.*
**[04:46] Anne**
* I wouldn't feel so much like*
* a cat in a strange garret*
**[04:51] Anne**
* if only Jane and Ruby had gone*
* in for First-Class, too.*
**[04:54] Anne**
* I wonder which of the girls here*
* are going to be my friends.*
**[04:59] Anne**
* I like the look of that girl with the*
* brown eyes and the crimson waist.*
**[05:03] Anne**
*She looks vivid and red-rosy;*
**[05:05] Anne**
* and there's that pale, fair*
* one gazing out of the window.*
**[05:08] Anne**
* She has lovely hair, and looks as if*
* she knew a thing or two about dreams.*
**[05:14] Anne**
* But just now I don't know them*
* and they don't know me,*
**[05:19] Anne**
* and probably don't want*
* to know me particularly.*
**[05:27] Anne**
*Gilbert looks awfully determined.*
**[05:31] Anne**
* I suppose he's made up his*
* mind to win the medal.*
**[05:34] Anne**
* I feel thankful for any familiar*
* face now, even Gilbert's.*
**[05:48] Anne**
* How homesick I feel, writing to*
* you alone in my boarding house.*
**[05:53] Anne**
*But I won't cry. It's silly.*
**[06:01] Anne**
*I tell a lie.*
**[06:04] Anne**
*There's the third tear splashing down.*
**[06:08] Anne**
* I must think of something*
* funny to stop them.*
**[06:11] Anne**
* But there's nothing funny except*
* what is connected with Avonlea.*
**[06:15] Anne**
*Oh, Matthew is nearly home by now.*
**[06:19] Anne**
* And Marilla is at the gate,*
* looking down the lane for him.*
**[06:22] Anne**
* Six, seven... Oh, there's*
* no use in counting them!*
**[06:26] Anne**
*They're coming in a flood presently.*
**[06:29] Anne**
* I can't cheer up—I don't want to*
* cheer up. It's nicer to be miserable!*
**[06:36] Josie**
You've been crying.
**[06:39] Anne**
What if I have?
**[06:40] Josie**
Are you honestly homesick *already?*
**[06:42] Anne**
What is it to you?
**[06:45] Anne**
But I'm so glad you came up.
**[06:47] Anne**
It's a relief to see any familiar face.
**[06:52] Josie**
Town's too jolly after
that poky old Avonlea.
**[06:57] Josie**
Have you anything eatable around, Anne?
**[06:59] Josie**
I'm literally starving.
**[07:02] Josie**
I guessed Marilla'd
load you up with treats.
**[07:08] Josie**
What? These are tiny.
**[07:12] Josie**
And they taste like the country.
**[07:22] Josie**
Oh, that reminds me, Queen's is to get
one of the Avery scholarships after all.
**[07:27] Anne**
Is it really?!
**[07:29] Josie**
Yes. It will be announced
in the Academy tomorrow.
**[07:35] Josie**
What's got into you?
**[07:40] Anne**
Then if I make the highest
mark in English Literature,
**[07:43] Anne**
I'll win a scholarship at Redmond College?
**[07:48] Josie**
Two hundred and fifty dollars
a year for four years.
**[07:52] Anne**
Wouldn't Matthew be proud if I won
the Avery and got to be a B.A.?
**[08:00] Josie**
I know English is your subject,
**[08:03] Josie**
but you can't be serious.
**[08:05] Anne**
I'll win that scholarship
if hard work can do it.
**[08:13] Anne**
Oh, it's delightful to have ambitions!
**[08:17] Anne**
Just as soon as you attain to one,
**[08:20] Anne**
you see another one
glittering higher up still!
**[08:32] Anne**
*Dearest Diana,*
**[08:34] Anne**
* The girls in my class are so thoughtful,*
* imaginative, and especially ambitious.*
**[08:40] Anne**
* The "rose-red" girl, Stella, is considered*
* the handsomest girl in our year.*
**[08:47] Anne**
* The "dream girl," Priscilla, is full to*
* the brim of mischief and pranks and fun.*
**[08:53] Stella**
The medal contestants have narrowed down
to three—Anne, Gilbert, and Lewis.
**[08:59] Priscilla**
You're after the Avery, too, aren't you?
**[09:02] Priscilla**
You have more rivals for that.
**[09:05] Anne**
I'll just have to keep working.
**[09:09] Priscilla**
Why must getting a teacher's
license be such a chore?
**[09:13] Anne**
Just think of going home for Christmas.
That's something to look forward to.
**[09:17] Stella; Priscilla**
Oh, yes.
**[09:21] Diana**
Anne!
**[09:22] Anne**
Diana!
**[09:26] Diana**
Merry Christmas, Anne!
**[09:28] Anne**
Merry Christmas, Diana!
**[09:31] Jane**
They're at it again.
**[09:33] Ruby**
They see each other every weekend.
**[09:36] Anne**
What a joy it is to see your face.
**[09:40] Diana**
I thought you'd come to prefer
Stella and Priscilla.
**[09:46] Anne**
They are both wonderful people.
**[09:49] Anne**
But no Queen's girl shall ever
be as dear to me as you, Diana.
**[09:55] Anne**
If anything, I love you more than before.
**[10:29] Anne**
Thank you.
**[10:30] Anne**
I think the train will be here soon.
You needn't wait in the cold with me.
**[10:36] Anne**
Go on.
**[10:39] Anne**
I'm ever so glad I got to
spend Christmas with you.
**[10:42] Anne**
I won't see you again
till spring, I suppose.
**[10:45] Matthew**
Mind your health, now.
**[10:48] Anne**
And you keep warm, Matthew.
**[11:22] Gilbert**
It's hard to believe the
Christmas holidays are already over.
**[11:26] Gilbert**
We won't have time to come home
again until after the exams.
**[11:32] Anne**
I suppose not.
**[11:33] Gilbert**
We'd better settle down to hard work.
**[11:36] Anne**
Yes.
**[11:39] Gilbert**
I won't let you beat me.
**[11:42] Anne**
Neither will I.
**[12:01] Jane**
It doesn't seem possible that
the term is nearly over.
**[12:06] Jane**
It would be dreadful if I failed to get
my license after spending so much money.
**[12:11] Josie**
If I don't pass this year,
I'm coming back next.
**[12:15] Jane**
Is that so?
**[12:16] Josie**
By the way, Anne, Professor Tremaine said
Gilbert Blythe was sure to get the medal
**[12:21] Josie**
and that Emily Clay would likely
win the Avery scholarship.
**[12:24] Jane**
Really, Josie!
**[12:27] Anne**
That may make me feel
badly tomorrow, Josie,
**[12:32] Anne**
but just now, as long as I know the violets
are coming out below Green Gables
**[12:38] Anne**
and that little ferns are poking
their heads up in Lovers' Lane,
**[12:42] Anne**
it's not a great deal of difference
whether I win the Avery or not.
**[12:46] Anne**
I've done my best.
**[12:49] Ruby**
You've certainly done that.
**[12:52] Anne**
Girls, don't talk about exams!
**[12:55] Jane**
Hear, hear.
**[12:56] Anne**
Picture your future selves instead.
**[13:12] Anne**
*Dearest, dearest Diana,*
**[13:14] Anne**
*I have wonderful news.*
**[13:17] Anne**
*The other Avonlea girls all passed.*
**[13:20] Anne**
* Ruby is already obsessing over what*
* she'll wear to commencement.*
**[13:26] Anne**
* Gilbert and I took the First-Class exam,*
* and our results will be out next week.*
**[13:30] Anne**
* I am resolved to accept them,*
* whatever they may be.*
**[13:35] Anne**
* I begin to understand what is meant*
* by the "joy of the strife."*
**[13:40] Anne**
* Next to trying and winning,*
* the best thing is trying and failing.*
**[13:57] Jane**
The First-Class results are finally out.
**[14:00] Jane**
Don't worry, Anne. Between the medal and
the Avery, you'll win one of them anyhow.
**[14:06] Anne**
I wonder.
**[14:07] Anne**
Everybody says Emily will win the Avery.
**[14:11] Jane**
Never mind those rumors.
**[14:14] Anne**
Promise me, Jane. If I have failed,
*don't* sympathize with me.
**[14:20] Anne**
I implore you in the name
of our old friendship.
**[14:22] Jane**
Oh, all right.
**[14:24] Students**
Hurrah, hurrah!
**[14:27] Students**
Hurrah for Gilbert!
**[14:29] Students**
Hurrah for Gilbert Blythe, medalist!
**[14:33] Gilbert**
Thank you all.
**[14:33] Students**
Hurrah, hurrah!
**[14:36] Jane**
Stay there, Anne. I'll go look.
**[14:37] Students**
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!
**[14:42] Anne**
*Oh, Matthew will be heartbroken.*
**[14:46] Anne**
*He felt so sure I would win.*
**[14:50] Jane**
Three cheers for Anne Shirley,
**[14:53] Jane**
winner of the Avery!
**[14:54] Jane**
Hurrah for Anne Shirley!
**[15:01] Jane**
Oh, Anne!
**[15:02] Jane**
Oh, Anne, I'm so proud!

**[15:07] Anne**
Oh, it's like a dream come true.
**[15:10] Anne**
Won't Matthew and Marilla be pleased!
**[15:26] Headmaster**
We have high hopes for your college career.
**[15:30] Man A**
That girl won the Avery.
**[15:33] Man A**
And I hear she wrote this year's best essay.
**[15:36] Woman B**
My. Isn't that something?
**[15:44] Matthew**
Reckon you're glad we kept her, Marilla?
**[16:06] Marilla**
It's not the first time I've been glad.
**[16:29] Anne**
It's so good to be back again.
**[16:32] Anne**
It's so good to see those pointed firs
coming out against the pink sky.
**[16:37] Anne**
Isn't the breath of the mint delicious?
**[16:41] Diana**
You've done splendidly, Anne.
**[16:43] Diana**
I suppose you won't be teaching
now that you've won the Avery?
**[16:49] Anne**
No. I'm going to Redmond in September.
**[16:53] Anne**
After three glorious,
golden months of vacation.
**[16:57] Diana**
And you say Jane and Ruby are going to teach?
**[17:02] Anne**
The Newbridge trustees have offered
Jane their school already.
**[17:06] Diana**
Gilbert Blythe is going to teach, too.
**[17:09] Diana**
He has to.
**[17:12] Diana**
His father can't afford to send
him to college next year, after all,
**[17:15] Diana**
so he means to earn his own way through.
**[17:18] Diana**
I expect he'll get the school here.
**[17:23] Anne**
Oh.
**[17:25] Anne**
* I had expected Gilbert would be*
* going to Redmond with me.*
**[17:34] Marilla**
Matthew?
**[17:36] Anne**
Matthew?!
**[17:46] Anne**
Marilla, is Matthew quite well?
**[17:50] Marilla**
No, he isn't, but he won't
spare himself a mite.
**[17:55] Marilla**
I've been real worried about him,
**[17:57] Marilla**
but he's some better this while back
**[18:01] Marilla**
and we've got Jerry to help him.
**[18:04] Marilla**
Maybe he'll pick up now you're home.
You always cheer him up.
**[18:10] Anne**
You are not looking as well yourself
as I'd like to see you, Marilla.
**[18:16] Marilla**
I'm all right.
**[18:22] Marilla**
It's my head. I've a pain so
often now—behind my eyes.
**[18:28] Anne**
That sounds awful.
**[18:30] Marilla**
There is a distinguished oculist coming to
the Island. I guess I'll have to see him.
**[18:36] Anne**
Yes, you must!
**[18:39] Marilla**
Well, Anne, you've done real
well at Queen's, I must say.
**[18:44] Marilla**
To take First-Class license in one year
and win the Avery scholarship.
**[18:49] Anne**
I couldn't have done it
without you and Matthew.
**[18:53] Marilla**
Mrs. Lynde says she doesn't believe
in the higher education of women at all.
**[19:01] Marilla**
I don't believe a word of it.
**[19:06] Marilla**
Speaking of Rachel reminds me—
she said the Abbey Bank was shaky.
**[19:14] Marilla**
Did you hear anything, Anne?
**[19:16] Anne**
No, why?
**[19:18] Marilla**
All we have saved is in
that bank—every penny.
**[19:21] Anne**
Is it really?
**[19:23] Marilla**
Matthew said any bank with Mr. Abbey at the
head of it was good enough for anybody.
**[19:30] Marilla**
But listen to me, going on like this.
**[19:33] Marilla**
Aren't you taking a day with
Diana to stretch your wings?
**[19:38] Marilla**
Go off and play.
**[19:40] Anne**
Yes. Thank you.
**[20:04] Anne**
Matthew, I'll take one of those.
**[20:06] Matthew**
They're heavy.
**[20:13] Anne**
How do you feel?
**[20:15] Matthew**
Oh, well enough.
**[20:19] Anne**
You've been working too hard.
**[20:23] Anne**
You have Jerry. Why won't
you take things easier?
**[20:27] Matthew**
Well now, I can't seem to.
**[20:32] Matthew**
It's only that I'm getting old,
Anne, and keep forgetting it.
**[20:37] Matthew**
Well, well, I've always worked pretty
hard and I'd rather drop in harness.
**[20:47] Anne**
If I had been the boy you sent for,
**[20:50] Anne**
I'd be able to help you so much
now and spare you in a hundred ways.
**[20:56] Matthew**
Well now, I'd rather have
you than a dozen boys, Anne.
**[21:08] Matthew**
I guess it wasn't a boy that took
the Avery scholarship, was it?
**[21:17] Matthew**
It was a girl.
**[21:20] Matthew**
My girl that I'm proud of.
**[21:43] Anne**
* It was the last night before*
* sorrow touched my life.*
**[21:49] (Flashback) Matthew**
My girl that I'm proud of.
**[21:53] Anne**
*And no life is ever quite the same again*
**[21:58] Anne**
* when once that cold, sanctifying*
* touch has been laid upon it.*

**[00:24] Marilla**
It's a great help to have you, Anne.
We aren't getting any younger.
**[00:30] Anne**
Good morning, Matthew.
**[00:32] Matthew**
Morning, Anne.
**[00:36] Anne**
Here.
**[00:38] Anne**
What do you think?
**[00:39] Matthew**
Oh well, it tastes fine.
More than fine.
**[00:45] Anne**
I never knew cooking could be so much fun.
**[00:48] Marilla**
Didn't you?
**[00:49] Anne**
No.
**[00:50] Anne**
The boarding house kitchen
was so inconvenient.
**[00:53] Marilla**
Then I suppose you won't mind doing all
our cooking over summer vacation.
**[00:58] Anne**
Indeed I won't.
**[01:00] Anne**
I promise you I'll outdo myself.
**[01:05] Anne**
Matthew? What is the matter?
**[01:08] Anne**
Are you sick?
**[01:18] Anne**
Matthew!
**[01:20] Marilla**
Matthew! Matthew!
**[01:21] Anne**
Matthew!
**[01:22] Anne**
Matthew!
**[01:22] Marilla**
Anne, tell Jerry to go for the doctor.
**[01:25] Marilla**
Then run for the Barrys',
and for Rachel, too.
**[01:28] Anne**
All right.
**[01:28] Marilla**
Matthew!
**[01:31] Anne**
*No.*

*No!*

You don't think—
You can't think Matthew is—is—

Anne dear, would you like to have
me sleep with you tonight?
**[04:50] Anne**
Thank you, Diana.
**[04:53] Anne**
I think you won't misunderstand me
when I say that I want to be alone.
**[04:57] Anne**
I cannot believe that Matthew is dead.
**[04:59] Anne**
Half the time it still
doesn't seem possible.
**[05:02] Anne**
I want to be quite silent and
quiet and try to realize it.
**[05:08] Diana**
I'll be downstairs.
You must call when you need me.
**[05:13] Anne**
I will.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Matthew**
It was a girl.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Matthew**
My girl that I'm proud of.
**[06:08] Marilla**
There—there—
don't cry so, dearie.
**[06:10] Marilla**
It can't bring him back.
**[06:16] Marilla**
It isn't right to cry so.
**[06:20] Anne**
Oh, just let me cry, Marilla!
**[06:22] Anne**
The tears don't hurt
me like that ache did!
**[06:26] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, how can Matthew be gone?
**[06:31] Anne**
What will we do without him?
**[06:36] Marilla**
We've got each other, Anne.
**[06:43] Marilla**
I don't know what I'd do if you
weren't here—if you'd never come.
**[06:50] Marilla**
I know I've been kind of strict
and harsh with you maybe,
**[06:53] Marilla**
but you mustn't think I didn't love you
as well as Matthew did, for all that.
**[06:59] Marilla**
I want to tell you now when saying
things out of my heart comes easier.
**[07:05] Marilla**
I love you as dear as if you
were my own flesh and blood
**[07:10] Marilla**
and you've been my joy and comfort
ever since you came to Green Gables.
**[07:41] Anne**
I miss him so much.
**[07:44] Anne**
All the time, Mrs. Allan.
**[07:47] Anne**
And yet my heart dances just as it used
to on finding little buds in the garden.
**[07:55] Anne**
Today Diana said something funny
and I found myself laughing.
**[08:01] Anne**
And it somehow seems as if I oughtn't to.
**[08:05] Allan**
Matthew liked to hear you laugh, didn't he?
**[08:10] Anne**
Yes.
**[08:11] Allan**
And didn't he like to know that you found
pleasure in the little things around you?
**[08:17] Anne**
He did.
**[08:19] Allan**
If buds heal your heart, you should not
close your heart to their influence.
**[08:26] Allan**
We should enjoy this life as
Matthew would have wanted to.
**[08:30] Anne**
Yes.
**[08:32] Anne**
I was down to the graveyard to plant a
rosebush on Matthew's grave this afternoon.
**[08:37] Anne**
Matthew always liked little white
Scotch roses the best.
**[08:42] Anne**
I hope he has roses like them in heaven.
**[08:47] Allan**
I'm sure he does.
**[08:51] Anne**
Perhaps the souls of his little white
roses were all there to meet him.
**[08:56] Allan**
Let us believe that they were.
**[09:03] Anne**
I'm back, Marilla.
**[09:06] Marilla**
It's good to see you, Anne.
**[09:13] Marilla**
Is that honeysuckle?
**[09:15] Anne**
Yes.
**[09:17] Anne**
I like the delicious hint of fragrance.
**[09:23] Marilla**
It does smell nice. Real sweet.
**[09:26] Marilla**
Doctor Spencer was here
while you were away.
**[09:29] Marilla**
He says that the specialist
will be in town tomorrow.
**[09:33] Anne**
Oh, good. You must go in and
have your eyes examined.
**[09:37] Marilla**
You won't mind staying here alone
while I'm away, will you?
**[09:42] Anne**
I shall be all right. Diana will
come over for company for me.
**[09:46] Anne**
And you needn't fear that
I'll mistake wine for cordial.
**[09:52] Marilla**
What a girl you were for making
mistakes in them days, Anne.
**[09:58] Marilla**
Do you mind the time you dyed your hair?
**[10:03] Anne**
Yes, indeed.
**[10:05] Anne**
I laugh a little when I think what
a worry my hair used to be to me.
**[10:09] Anne**
But not *much*, because it was
a very real trouble then.
**[10:14] Anne**
I've given up fretting over
my hair and freckles now.
**[10:20] Marilla**
And a good thing, too.
**[10:38] Anne**
Welcome home, Marilla.
**[10:41] Anne**
Diana only just left.
**[10:45] Marilla**
Oh, did she?
**[10:47] Anne**
Are you very tired, Marilla?
**[10:49] Anne**
Do you want to lie down?
**[10:51] Marilla**
Yes—no—I don't know.
**[10:55] Anne**
Did you see the oculist?
**[10:58] Anne**
What did he say?
**[11:01] Marilla**
He says to give up reading and sewing and
any kind of work that strains the eyes.
**[11:10] Marilla**
And I'm to be careful not to cry.
**[11:13] Marilla**
If I wear the glasses he's given me,
he thinks my eyes may not get any worse.
**[11:19] Marilla**
But if I don't he says, I'll certainly
be stone-blind in six months.
**[11:25] Marilla**
Blind! Anne, just think of it!
**[11:28] Anne**
*Don't* think of it.
**[11:29] Anne**
You know he has given you hope.
**[11:33] Anne**
If you are careful...
**[11:35] Marilla**
I don't call it much hope.
**[11:38] Marilla**
How can it be wrong to cry
when we have just lost Matthew?
**[11:43] Marilla**
What am I to do when I get lonesome?
**[12:23] Anne**
What did Mr. Sadler want?
**[12:27] Marilla**
He heard that I was going
to sell Green Gables
**[12:31] Marilla**
and he wants to buy it.
**[12:34] Anne**
Sell it! Sell Green Gables?!
**[12:38] Marilla**
I've thought it all over.
**[12:41] Marilla**
If my eyes were strong,
I could stay here and manage.
**[12:47] Marilla**
But as it is, I can't.
**[12:50] Marilla**
It won't bring much, but it'll
be enough for me to live on, I reckon.
**[12:57] Marilla**
I'm thankful you're provided
for with that scholarship, Anne.
**[13:03] Marilla**
I'm sorry you won't have a home to
come to in your vacations, that's all.
**[13:11] Anne**
You mustn't sell Green Gables, Marilla.
**[13:14] Marilla**
I wish I didn't have to.
**[13:18] Anne**
You won't have to stay here alone.
**[13:23] Anne**
I'm not going to Redmond.
**[13:28] Marilla**
Not going to Redmond!
**[13:30] Anne**
I'm not going to take the scholarship.
**[13:34] Anne**
You surely don't think I could leave
you alone in your trouble, Marilla!
**[13:38] Anne**
I've been thinking and planning.
**[13:42] Anne**
Mr. Barry wants to rent
the farm for next year.
**[13:46] Anne**
And I'm going to teach.
**[13:52] Marilla**
Why, what do you mean, Anne?
**[13:55] Anne**
Just what I say.
**[13:56] Anne**
I understand the Avonlea school is
already promised to Gilbert Blythe,
**[14:01] Anne**
but I can have the Carmody school.
**[14:04] Anne**
That won't be as convenient,
but I can drive myself over and back.
**[14:08] Anne**
And even in winter, I can come home Fridays.
**[14:12] Anne**
I'll make you good tea.
**[14:15] Anne**
And I'll read to you.
**[14:17] Anne**
You shan't be dull or lonesome.
**[14:19] Anne**
We'll be real happy here
together, you and I.
**[14:23] Marilla**
I can't let you sacrifice
yourself so for me.
**[14:26] Anne**
There is no sacrifice.
**[14:29] Anne**
Nothing could be worse than
giving up Green Gables.
**[14:36] Anne**
I *am* going to stay here and teach.
**[14:39] Anne**
That's my ambition.
**[14:41] Anne**
Besides, I mean to study at home here.
**[14:44] Anne**
I'm going to be a good teacher—
and I'm going to save your eyesight.
**[14:49] Marilla**
But what about...
**[14:51] Anne**
You can't prevent me.
**[14:53] Anne**
I'm sixteen and a half,
and every bit as obstinate as you!
**[15:01] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, don't you go pitying me.
**[15:07] Anne**
I'm heart glad over the very thought
of staying at dear Green Gables.
**[15:13] Marilla**
You blessed girl! I feel as if
you'd given me new life.
**[15:20] Marilla**
I guess I ought to stick out and
make you go to college,
**[15:27] Marilla**
but I know I can't,
so I ain't going to try.
**[15:34] Marilla**
I'll make it up to you though, Anne.
**[15:39] Anne**
No, Marilla,
**[15:41] Anne**
you really needn't.
**[15:45] Anne**
Matthew,
**[15:46] Anne**
I think I've come to a bend in the road.
**[15:51] Anne**
I don't know what lies around the bend,
but I'm going to believe that the best does.
**[15:57] Anne**
So keep your eye on me, Matthew.
**[16:03] Josie**
Have you heard?
**[16:04] Josie**
Anne Shirley's given up the
idea of going to college.
**[16:08] Jimmy**
What, really?
**[16:09] Josie**
After all that studying and
winning a scholarship,
**[16:14] Josie**
she's going off to teach in Carmody.
**[16:17] Martin**
Carmody? That's far.
**[16:23] Lynde**
Hello!
**[16:26] Anne**
Hello.
**[16:27] Lynde**
Taking the air, are you?
**[16:29] Marilla**
Yes.
**[16:30] Lynde**
Well, Anne, I hear you've given up
your notion of going to college.
**[16:35] Anne**
Yes.
**[16:36] Lynde**
That's a fine thing you've done.
I was real glad to hear it.
**[16:41] Anne**
Thank you, Mrs. Lynde.
**[16:43] Lynde**
And you're going to teach?
**[16:46] Anne**
Yes, in Carmody. It should be great fun.
**[16:52] Lynde**
Funny. *I* heard the trustees decided to give
you the school right here in Avonlea.
**[16:58] Anne**
That can't be. I thought they had
promised it to Gilbert Blythe.
**[17:03] Lynde**
Gilbert Blythe withdrew his application.
**[17:09] Lynde**
And he suggested that they accept yours.
He's going to teach at White Sands.
**[17:16] Lynde**
Of course he gave up the
school just to oblige you,
**[17:21] Lynde**
because he knew how much you
wanted to stay with Marilla.
**[17:28] Lynde**
I must say it was real kind in him,
**[17:31] Lynde**
for he'll have his board
to pay at White Sands,
**[17:35] Lynde**
and he's got to earn his
own way through college.
**[17:37] Anne**
I... I don't think I ought to let Gilbert
make such a sacrifice for—for me.
**[17:43] Lynde**
I guess you can't prevent him now.
**[17:46] Lynde**
He's signed papers with
the White Sands trustees.
**[17:50] Lynde**
Of course you'll take the Avonlea school.
**[17:53] Lynde**
Gilbert wouldn't want you to refuse.
**[17:59] Lynde**
Why, look at her run!
**[18:02] Lynde**
There's a good deal of the child
about her yet in some ways.
**[18:06] Marilla**
There's a good deal more of
the woman about her in others.
**[18:10] Lynde**
Marilla Cuthbert, you've gotten *mellow*.
**[18:16] Gilbert's Mother**
If it's Gilbert you want, he's gone out.
**[18:18] Anne**
Where has he gone?
**[18:19] Gilbert's Mother**
I don't know. He didn't say.
**[18:21] Anne**
I see. Sorry to bother you.
**[18:29] Anne**
Um...
**[18:31] Gilbert's Mother**
Yes?
**[18:31] Anne**
I heard about the Avonlea school.
**[18:35] Anne**
I don't know how I can thank you.
**[18:38] Anne**
I truly appreciate it.
**[18:40] Anne**
Good evening.
**[18:53] Anne**
Dear old world, you are very lovely,
**[18:59] Anne**
and I am glad to be alive in you.
**[19:28] Anne**
Gilbert!
**[19:31] Anne**
I-I want to thank you for giving
up the school for me.
**[19:36] Anne**
It was very good of you.
**[19:38] Anne**
And I want you to know
that I appreciate it.
**[19:41] Gilbert**
It wasn't particularly
good of me at all, Anne.
**[19:45] Gilbert**
I hope I was able to do
you some small service.
**[19:49] Anne**
You have.
**[19:52] Anne**
I—
**[19:52] Gilbert**
So—
**[19:56] Anne**
You first, Gilbert.
**[19:59] Gilbert**
All right.
**[20:00] Gilbert**
So how about it, Anne? Have you
really forgiven me for my old fault?
**[20:07] Anne**
Of course.
**[20:09] Anne**
I forgave you that day you
rescued me here in your boat.
**[20:16] Anne**
What a stubborn little goose I was.
**[20:18] Anne**
I've been sorry ever since.
**[20:24] Gilbert**
We are going to be the best of friends.
**[20:29] Gilbert**
We were born to be good friends, Anne.
**[20:35] Gilbert**
You've thwarted destiny long enough.
**[20:57] Anne**
I'm home, Marilla.
**[20:59] Marilla**
And good thing, too.
**[21:01] Marilla**
Who were you talking with?
**[21:03] Anne**
Gilbert. I met him by the Lake of
Shining Waters and thanked him.
**[21:08] Marilla**
I didn't think you were such good friends
that you'd stand for half an hour talking.
**[21:13] Anne**
We have decided that it will sensible
to be good friends in future.
**[21:19] Anne**
Were we really there half an hour?!
**[21:25] Anne**
The year's at the spring,
**[21:27] Anne**
And day's at the morn;
**[21:29] Anne**
Morning's at seven;
**[21:31] Anne**
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
**[21:34] Anne**
The lark's on the wing;
**[21:38] Anne**
The snail's on the thorn;
**[21:56] Anne**
God's in his Heaven,
**[21:59] Anne**
All's right with the world.

**[00:08] Anne**
* Three months have gone by since*
* we said farewell to Matthew.*
**[00:12] Anne**
*Mr. Barry is tending to the fields.*
**[00:16] Anne**
*Thanks to everybody's help,*
**[00:18] Anne**
* Marilla and I are living here in*
* Green Gables, the same as ever.*
**[00:24] Anne**
* And tomorrow, I start teaching*
* at the Avonlea school!*
**[00:29] Gilbert**
There you are!
**[00:32] Gilbert**
I'm glad to see Marilla looking well.
**[00:34] Anne**
Her headaches have relented recently.
**[00:37] Gilbert**
She must feel easier in her mind.
**[00:39] Anne**
We owe it to you, Gilbert.
**[00:43] Jane**
That apple tart tasted heavenly!
**[00:46] Diana**
You must teach me the recipe
sometime, Marilla.
**[00:49] Marilla**
Of course. Come visit any time you like.
**[00:53] Anne**
I'll take you all as far as the road.
**[00:59] Marilla**
When did they all get so tall?
**[01:06] Jane**
They've become good friends these
past three months, haven't they?
**[01:10] Diana**
They seem so well-matched.
**[01:13] Jane**
I wonder what they're saying.
**[01:15] Anne**
How I'd like to improve the old
Avonlea hall and that empty house.
**[01:20] Anne**
I want to make Avonlea the
best village it can be.
**[01:23] Gilbert**
I think it's high time we took action.
**[01:26] Diana**
How very romantic.
**[01:30] Gilbert**
We'll see each other next Friday.
**[01:32] Diana**
Gilbert's in White Sands,
and Jane is in Newbridge.
**[01:37] Diana**
It must be hard teaching in a strange town.
**[01:41] Anne**
Oh, but they both have
an advantage over me.
**[01:44] Diana**
How so?
**[01:45] Anne**
Imagine my struggles teaching in
a place that knows my history.
**[01:51] Diana**
That does sound worse!
**[01:54] Jane**
Well, it *is* work.
**[01:56] Jane**
Surely you ought to suffer
something for your salary?
**[02:01] Anne**
That's our Jane.
**[02:03] Anne**
But I don't want to be a cross
teacher if I can help it.
**[02:07] Anne**
I hope to foster my pupils' talents
and be an influence for good.
**[02:11] Jane**
How like our Anne!
**[02:13] Diana**
What do you think, Gilbert?
**[02:14] Diana**
What sort of teacher do you want to be?
**[02:16] Gilbert**
Oh, well...
**[02:19] Gilbert**
I want to face my pupils with an
eye to their futures. Only...
**[02:25] Anne**
Only?
**[02:26] Jane**
Only what?
**[02:28] Gilbert**
Nothing.
**[02:29] Diana**
Well, you'll all do fine.
**[02:33] Diana**
By the way, what happened in that
business with Mr. Harrison?
**[02:37] Anne**
What?!
**[02:37] Anne**
Oh...
**[02:39] Diana**
Anne sold her neighbor's cow by
mistake! Can you believe it?
**[02:42] Jane; Gilbert**
What?!
**[02:47] Anne**
How many times must I get into the worst
scrape of my life before I'm through?
**[02:52] Anne**
Mr. Harrison had just snapped at me
the other day, so I lost my head.
**[02:58] Anne**
I felt certain that your old cow Dolly
**[03:01] Anne**
had broken the fence and gotten
into Mr. Harrison's oats!
**[03:06] Anne**
Mr. Shearer came by that very minute,
so I sold her to him for twenty dollars.
**[03:10] Anne**
Then I went home to Green Gables,
and there was Dolly!
**[03:14] Anne**
I had sold the neighbor's cow!
**[03:18] Anne**
It gave Marilla headaches and
caused an awful bother.
**[03:26] Anne**
Oh really, Matthew!
I know you're laughing at me!

**[05:15] Anne**
*What now?*
**[05:16] Anne**
* I can't remember a word of the*
* speech I stayed up composing!*
**[05:28] Anne**
My name is Anne Shirley.
**[05:29] Anne**
I hope we will all have great
fun learning together!
**[05:38] Anne**
* My pupils! Heroes and literary*
* giants of the future!*
**[05:45] (Flashback) Marilla**
Anthony?
**[05:47] (Flashback) Lynde**
Mrs. George Pye has taken her
husband's orphan nephew.
**[05:52] (Flashback) Marilla**
And he'll be going to school with Anne?
**[05:54] (Flashback) Anne**
That makes him a relation
of Josie's, I suppose.
**[05:58] (Flashback) Lynde**
You may expect trouble, that's what.
**[06:02] Anne**
*I am being put to the test.*
**[06:05] Anne**
Isn't the weather lovely, Anthony?
Perfect for the first day of school.
**[06:13] Anne**
You all have such shining morning
faces, and bright, inquisitive eyes.
**[06:22] Paul**
Miss Shirley.
**[06:25] Paul**
I'm Paul Irving, ma'am.
**[06:27] Anne**
Irving?
**[06:29] Anne**
Didn't you came from the
United States with your father?
**[06:33] Anne**
And now you live with your
grandmother in the village?
**[06:36] Paul**
Yes. My dad went back
to the States to work.
**[06:41] Anne**
Did he, now?
**[06:42] Paul**
Teacher, about your name...
**[06:44] Paul**
You spell "Anne" with
an *e* on the end of it!
**[06:48] Anne**
Yes, I do! Well spotted!
**[06:51] Anne**
Your teacher's name is Anne with an *e*!
**[06:57] Anne**
Now, it is time to begin our lesson!
**[07:00] Anne**
Open your readers, please!
**[07:03] Anne**
"Here am I, little jumping Joan."
**[07:07] Children**
"Here am I, little jumping Joan."
**[07:12] Anne**
"When nobody's with me, I'm always alone."
**[07:16] Children**
"When nobody's with me—"
**[07:40] Anne**
I want all my boys to be gentlemen.
**[07:44] Anne**
Do you know what a gentleman is, Anthony?
**[07:46] Anne**
Gentlemen don't pour water
down ladies' necks.
**[07:52] Anthony**
I hear they made you stand in
school all the time, ma'am.
**[07:56] Anthony**
And that you hit a boy over
the head with your slate.
**[08:01] Anne**
W-Well, I...
**[08:04] Anthony**
May I go now?
**[08:06] Anne**
Y-Yes.
**[08:16] Anne**
I want to go, too.
**[08:23] Paul**
Teacher!
**[08:25] Anne**
Paul?
**[08:28] Anne**
What's wrong? Did you forget something?
**[08:31] Paul**
I found these in Mr. Wright's field.
**[08:34] Anne**
My, how pretty.
**[08:36] Paul**
For you, ma'am.
**[08:38] Anne**
What, me?
**[08:42] Paul**
Well, I'll see you tomorrow!
**[08:45] Anne**
Paul?
**[08:49] Paul**
Goodbye!
**[08:51] Anne**
Thank you!
**[09:01] Marilla**
Paul's father used to live in Avonlea.
**[09:07] Marilla**
According to Rachel...
**[09:09] (Flashback) Lynde**
That Paul is Stephen Irving's boy.
**[09:13] (Flashback) Lynde**
You remember. Him that jilted
Lavendar Lewis over at Grafton?
**[09:20] (Flashback) Marilla**
I don't think he jilted her.
There was a quarrel.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Marilla**
I suppose there was blame on both sides.
**[09:26] (Flashback) Lynde**
Well, anyway, she never married.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Lynde**
A common enough story, I guess.
**[09:34] Marilla**
Stephen went off to the States,
married, and had Paul.
**[09:41] Anne**
So that's it.
**[09:43] Marilla**
Now, how did you get along?
**[09:47] Anne**
Ask me that a month later and
I may be able to tell you.
**[09:52] Anne**
My thoughts feel as if they
had been all stirred up.
**[09:55] Marilla**
I see Miss Shirley had a tiring day.
**[09:58] Anne**
The only thing I accomplished is that
I taught unlettered children that *A* is *A*.
**[10:04] Anne**
Isn't it something to have
started souls along a path
**[10:10] Anne**
that may end in Shakespeare
and *Paradise Lost*?
**[10:16] Marilla**
I made too much again.
**[10:19] Marilla**
Matthew always was fond of stew.
**[10:22] Anne**
No matter, Marilla.
I'm feeling ravenous today.
**[10:27] Anne**
I could wolf down the lot!
**[10:30] Marilla**
If you can muster an appetite like
that, I guess I needn't worry.
**[10:48] Anne**
Oh, do smell that.
**[10:49] Anne**
Bliss is it on such a day to be alive!
**[10:51] Diana**
Don't drive so fast, Anne!
**[10:54] Anne**
* This summer, we young people*
* who hope to better Avonlea*
**[10:59] Anne**
*formed the Village Improvement Society.*
**[11:03] Anne**
*Gilbert was elected president,*
**[11:05] Anne**
*Diana was treasurer, and I was secretary.*
**[11:08] Anne**
*We had just convened our second meeting.*
**[11:12] Gilbert**
I'd like to discuss the costs
of improving the Avonlea hall.
**[11:16] Charlie**
We should start a subscription.
**[11:18] Ruby**
Seconded!
**[11:19] Josie**
Do you know what people are
calling this society?
**[11:24] Moody**
The Courting Club.
**[11:25] Fred; Jane**
What?!
**[11:27] Anne**
Marilla told me that "people
don't like being improved."
**[11:32] Anne**
I explained that we are going to improve
the *village*, not the people in it.
**[11:37] Fred**
Someone asked me if we could induce old
Josiah Sloane to keep his whiskers trimmed.
**[11:44] Diana**
I've been asked if we mean to
plow up all the roadsides
**[11:48] Diana**
and set them out with geraniums.
**[11:52] Jane**
Try, "I will *not* hang lace curtains
in the cow stall windows."
**[11:56] Charlie**
Everybody has us all wrong.
**[11:59] Ruby**
Mr. Boulter has been warning
people against "Improvers."
**[12:07] Anne**
We'll have to canvass from house to house,
to clear our names as much as anything.
**[12:13] Gilbert**
I guess we will.
**[12:20] Diana**
Why on earth did you offer to
canvass the Newbridge road, Anne?
**[12:24] Diana**
I've been dreading it all morning.
**[12:27] Diana**
Almost all the cranks in
Avonlea live along it.
**[12:31] Anne**
I feel myself responsible for the A.V.I.S.,
since I was the first to suggest it,
**[12:35] Anne**
and it seems to me that I ought to
do the most disagreeable things.
**[12:39] Anne**
I'm sorry on your account; but you
needn't say a word at the cranky places.
**[12:45] Anne**
I'll do all the talking.
**[12:46] Diana**
I just know they'll treat us
like swindlers or peddlers.
**[12:58] Diana**
If Catherine is alone we may get something.
**[13:03] Anne**
And if her sister Eliza is in?
**[13:05] Diana**
We won't.
**[13:07] Anne; Diana**
Good day!
**[13:10] Catherine**
Oh, you must be from the
Improvement Society.
**[13:13] Eliza**
Who is it, Catherine?
**[13:14] Catherine**
It's the Improvement Society.
**[13:20] Eliza**
If I had money to waste, I'd burn it up and
have the fun of seeing a blaze maybe.
**[13:25] Eliza**
The hall is just a place for
young folks to meet and carry on.
**[13:31] Catherine**
Oh, Eliza, young folks must
have some amusement.
**[13:35] Eliza**
*We* didn't when we were young.
**[13:38] Eliza**
This world is getting worse every day.
**[13:41] Catherine**
Well, I always like to
look on the bright side.
**[13:46] Eliza**
There isn't any bright side.
**[13:48] Anne**
Oh, indeed there is!
**[13:50] Anne**
Why, there are ever so many
bright sides, Miss Andrews.
**[13:53] Diana**
Anne.
**[13:54] Anne**
It's really a beautiful world.
**[13:57] Eliza**
You won't have such a high opinion of it
when you've lived as long in it as I have.
**[14:02] Eliza**
How is your mother, Diana?
**[14:06] Eliza**
She looks terrible run down of late.
**[14:09] Diana**
Oh, I don't...
**[14:12] Eliza**
And how long is it before Marilla
expects to be stone blind, Anne?
**[14:17] Catherine**
Eliza!
**[14:19] Anne**
The doctor thinks her eyes will not get
any worse if she is very careful.
**[14:22] Eliza**
Doctors always talk like that
**[14:24] Eliza**
just to keep people cheered up.
**[14:27] Eliza**
I wouldn't have much hope if I was her.
**[14:31] Anne**
No!
**[14:33] Eliza**
I don't have much hope for
your society, either.
**[14:42] Diana**
I want to go home.
**[14:45] Catherine**
Wait!
**[14:48] Anne**
Catherine?!
**[14:53] Catherine**
I'm so sorry. Take this for the hall.
**[14:58] Catherine**
I can't give more now, but I'm
real interested in your society.
**[15:03] Anne**
Oh, Catherine!
**[15:04] Diana**
Thank you!
**[15:06] Catherine**
And don't be cast down
over what Eliza said.
**[15:10] Catherine**
The world is getting better...
it certainly is.
**[15:15] Anne; Diana**
Yes!
**[15:19] Diana**
If his wife is home, we won't get a cent.
**[15:24] Diana**
Dan Blair doesn't dare have his
hair cut without asking her permission.
**[15:29] Anne**
Everyone says so.
**[15:31] Blair**
What's with this blasted thing?!
**[15:33] Blair**
You'll have to excuse me, ladies.
**[15:36] Blair**
I can't get the durned thing untied.
**[15:39] Diana**
P-Pardon the intrusion.
**[15:42] Anne**
We've come from the Improvement Society.
**[15:44] Blair**
My wife's gone to the train to
meet her sister from Montreal
**[15:49] Blair**
and left orders for me
to make a cake for tea.
**[15:54] Blair**
But I've clean forgot half
the directions already.
**[15:57] Blair**
And it says "season with
vanilla according to taste,"
**[16:00] Blair**
but what if my taste doesn't
happen to be other people's taste?
**[16:15] Blair**
Oh, it's perfect!
**[16:19] Anne**
I was afraid I was going
to laugh myself to death!
**[16:22] Diana**
Did you see his apron fluttering
behind him like a tail?!
**[16:26] Anne**
He must not have wanted
to disappoint his wife.
**[16:29] Anne**
He was desperate.
**[16:31] Diana**
And he gave *four* dollars!
**[16:33] Anne**
The Whites' place is next.
**[16:36] Diana**
I've never met them,
but I hear she likes things neat.
**[16:48] White**
Will you please wipe your feet carefully on
the grass and then walk on these papers?
**[16:55] Anne**
Pardon us.
**[17:00] White**
No! Don't come in!
**[17:02] White**
Out! Out you... you fly!
**[17:06] Anne**
Don't you dare laugh, Diana.
**[17:09] Diana**
Don't you look at my face.
**[17:15] Diana**
The next place is the last.
**[17:17] Anne**
Yes.
**[17:18] Anne**
Oh?
**[17:19] Diana**
There's Mr. and Mrs. Dickson
with old Mrs. White.
**[17:25] Anne; Diana**
Good day!
**[17:26] Grandma White**
Oh, good day to you girls.
**[17:28] Dickson**
Have you heard the news?
**[17:30] Dickson**
Mrs. White's son has just had the
baby boy he's been hoping for.
**[17:35] Diana**
Goodness!
**[17:36] Anne**
Congratulations, Mrs. White!
**[17:38] Grandma White**
Lorenzo's known for being mean,
**[17:41] Grandma White**
but he's the most generous
man in Avonlea this minute.
**[17:50] Diana**
What?! We're going straight
to Lorenzo White's?
**[17:53] Anne**
Gilbert and Fred won't canvass
him until next week,
**[17:55] Anne**
and he won't be so generous by then!
**[17:58] Lorenzo**
Certain, certain!
**[18:00] Lorenzo**
Just put me down for a dollar more than
the highest subscription you've got!
**[18:06] Diana**
You mean it?!
**[18:08] Anne**
Mr. Daniel Blair put down four dollars.
**[18:13] Lorenzo**
Then put me down for five.
**[18:16] Lorenzo**
Now, I want you to come into the house.
**[18:17] Lorenzo**
There's something in there worth seeing!
**[18:26] Diana**
What will we say if the
baby isn't pretty?
**[18:30] Anne**
Oh, there will certainly be something
else nice to say about it.
**[18:36] Diana**
It *is* pretty!
**[18:39] Anne**
Like a little angel!
**[18:45] Anne**
We'll slip over to Mr. Harrison's last.
It's on our way home.
**[18:50] Diana**
What?! But Jane and Josie
took the Carmody road!
**[18:54] Anne**
They're too afraid to go near him.
And he's really such a nice person.
**[18:58] Diana**
They're only afraid because they've
heard you sold his cow by mistake.
**[19:03] Anne**
Isn't that all the more reason
why I should be the one to go?
**[19:08] Anne**
I brought him a cake with my apology,
**[19:11] Anne**
and he gladly forgave me in
exchange for our Jersey cow.
**[19:16] Anne**
So you see, Mr. Harrison
and I get on famously!
**[19:19] Harrison**
No.
**[19:21] Anne**
You mean you won't subscribe?
**[19:24] Harrison**
Not a cent.
**[19:25] Anne**
But why?
**[19:27] Diana**
*Someone* led me to expect otherwise.
**[19:30] Anne**
But I thought you approved of
our society, Mr. Harrison.
**[19:35] Harrison**
So I do, but my approval doesn't
go as deep as my pocket.
**[19:38] Ginger**
Redheaded snippet! Redheaded snippet!
**[19:41] Harrison**
S-Stop that, you!
**[19:42] Diana**
My!
**[19:43] Anne**
Et tu, Ginger?!
**[19:52] Anne**
A few more experiences
such as I have had today
**[19:55] Anne**
would make me as much of a
pessimist as Miss Eliza Andrews.
**[20:00] Anne**
It's no laughing matter!
**[20:02] Diana**
But have you ever known a day where
so many things went against you?
**[20:09] Anne**
True enough. And we muddled
through somehow.
**[20:14] Diana**
Yes. It was a good day.
**[20:16] Anne**
You think so?
**[20:18] Diana**
I feel as though my world has
grown a little broader!
**[20:23] Anne**
So do I!
**[20:29] Diana**
Here is the total of the subscriptions.
**[20:31] Jane**
I don't believe it.
**[20:32] Fred**
We can get to work on the hall
before the year is out.
**[20:40] Gilbert**
Teaching isn't easy, is it?
**[20:43] Anne**
No. I've wondered if I can face up to
forty more years of unruly pupils.
**[20:51] Gilbert**
I've heard all the children like you.
**[20:54] Anne**
I'm glad, but several of
them might not respect me.
**[20:59] Anne**
Although some encourage me, too.
**[21:04] Gilbert**
My father has gotten well
and come to live with us,
**[21:09] Gilbert**
but illness and circumstance keep more than
a few of my pupils from their parents.
**[21:14] Anne**
Oh.
**[21:16] Gilbert**
I want to be a doctor.
**[21:21] Gilbert**
I want to fight disease
and pain and ignorance.
**[21:27] Gilbert**
The folks who lived before me have done so
much for me that I want to show my gratitude
**[21:32] Gilbert**
by doing something for
the folks who will live after me.
**[21:40] Anne**
I see.
**[21:43] Anne**
I'd like to add some beauty to life.
**[21:49] Anne**
I'd love to make people have a
pleasanter time because of me!
**[21:55] Gilbert**
* I think you're fulfilling*
* that ambition every day.*

**[00:06] Anne**

**[00:11] Anne**
* a shocking change came*
* along to stir up my life.*
**[00:18] Lynde**
There's Marilla getting home
from her relation's funeral.
**[00:22] Lynde**
And she's got the twins with her.
**[00:25] Thomas**
Poor things.
**[00:30] Lynde**
Yes. They lost their father so soon,
and now their mother, too.
**[00:35] Lynde**
Why, there's the boy grabbing at the
pony's tail and Marilla jerking him back.
**[00:42] Thomas**
She'll have her hands full.
**[00:43] Lynde**
The girl's sitting up on the
seat as prim as you please.
**[00:48] Lynde**
Anne'll be tickled to death.
She's awful fond of children.
**[00:53] Thomas**
It doesn't seem a day since
Matthew brought home Anne.
**[00:58] Lynde**
Everybody laughed at the idea
of Marilla bringing up a child.
**[01:01] Lynde**
And now she has adopted twins.
**[01:04] Lynde**
You're never safe from being
surprised till you're dead.

**[02:45] Anne**
Welcome to Green Gables.
**[02:49] Anne**
You must be Dora.
**[02:52] Anne**
And that makes you...
**[02:54] Davy**
I'm Mr. Davy Keith.
**[02:57] Anne**
And full of life, I see.
**[03:06] Marilla**
Davy, mind your table manners.
**[03:10] Davy**
I'm so hungry I ain't
got time to eat p'litely.
**[03:16] Davy**
That cake's awful nice and plummy.
**[03:18] Davy**
Can I have another piece?
**[03:19] Anne**
Here.
**[03:24] Marilla**
You ought to say thank you for that.
**[03:27] Davy**
If you'll give me *another* piece
I'll say thank you for *it*.
**[03:30] Marilla**
No, you have had plenty of cake.
**[03:35] Marilla**
Good heavens!
**[03:37] Marilla**
Davy!
**[03:40] Dora**
Thank you, Miss Cuthbert.
**[03:43] Anne**
Davy, gentlemen don't do things like that.
**[03:48] Davy**
I know they don't,
**[03:49] Davy**
but I ain't a gemplum.
**[03:52] Anne**
But don't you want to be?
**[03:55] Davy**
Course I do.
**[03:57] Davy**
But you can't be a
gemplum till you grow up.
**[04:01] Anne**
Oh, indeed you can.
**[04:03] Anne**
You can begin to be a gentleman
when you are a little boy.
**[04:05] Anne**
And gentlemen never snatch things from
ladies or pull anybody's hair.
**[04:13] Marilla**
Anne.
**[04:14] Anne**
*Or* forget to say thank you.
**[04:24] Davy**
They don't have much fun, that's a fact.
**[04:31] Davy**
I guess I'll wait till
I'm grown up to be one.
**[04:36] Marilla**
They'd better go to bed.
**[04:39] Marilla**
Dora will sleep with me. You're not
afraid to sleep alone, are you, Davy?
**[04:44] Davy**
No; but I ain't going to
bed for ever so long yet.
**[04:48] Marilla**
Oh, yes, you are.
**[04:50] Davy**
Why? What've I got to go to bed now for?
**[04:53] Marilla**
Because I said so!
**[04:54] Davy**
But *why?*
**[04:58] Davy**
I don't wanna!
**[04:59] Davy**
Marilla washed it yesterday.
**[05:03] Davy**
I don't see the good of
being so awful clean.
**[05:07] Anne**
You're going to church today.
**[05:08] Anne**
Wouldn't you feel ashamed of yourself,
meeting new people with a dirty face?
**[05:13] Davy**
I'd feel fine.
**[05:14] Davy**
It's lots more comfable being dirty.
**[05:18] Anne**
Paul Irving washes his face
every day of his own accord.
**[05:23] Davy**
Paul? Who's he?
**[05:25] Anne**
One of my pupils.
**[05:27] Anne**
He's not grown up, but he *is* a gentleman.
**[05:30] Davy**
Do you like him, then?
**[05:32] Anne**
Yes, I do.
**[05:34] Marilla**
We ought to get going!
**[05:47] Anne**
Paul!
**[05:49] Paul**
Miss Anne!
**[05:54] Paul**
Good morning, Miss Cuthbert.
**[05:57] Marilla**
Good morning, Paul.
**[05:59] Anne**
These are the latest additions
to our family, Davy and Dora.
**[06:03] Dora**
Pleased to meet you.
**[06:04] Paul**
It's a pleasure to meet you, Dora.
**[06:06] Paul**
And you, Da... vy?
**[06:11] Allan**
In the Lord's name, we cherish
justice and righteousness.
**[06:17] Allan**
Yet human righteousness
must have its limits.
**[06:22] Allan**
When we become overzealous in enforcing
our own idea of what is right on others,
**[06:28] Allan**
we reveal the differences
in our understandings
**[06:32] Allan**
and risk creating conflict.
**[06:36] Allan**
We may even drive others
away, into isolation.
**[06:40] Allan**
Remember that even righteous
speech has the power to harm.
**[06:48] Lauretta**
Mommer! Take it off! Get it out!
**[06:52] Lauretta**
Worm! Worm! Worm!
**[06:54] Lauretta**
It's going further down!
**[06:59] Marilla**
Stay in your room for the rest of the day!
**[07:23] Davy**
I s'pose that Paul Irving
**[07:25] Davy**
wouldn't have dropped a caterpillar down
a girl's neck in church, would he?
**[07:30] Anne**
Indeed he wouldn't.
**[07:33] Davy**
Well, I'm kind of sorry I did it, then.
**[07:37] Davy**
But...
**[07:39] Davy**
it was such a jolly big caterpillar.
**[07:42] Davy**
It seemed a pity to waste him.
**[07:46] Davy**
And say, wasn't it fun
to hear that girl yell?
**[07:57] Gilbert**
Today, I'd like to settle on a definite
plan for improving the Avonlea hall.
**[08:04] Diana**
We should have enough money subscribed
to paint it and shingle the roof, too.
**[08:09] Fred**
We had better decide on colors, then.
**[08:12] Jane**
The roof will be dark red, of course.
**[08:15] Anne**
Of course.
**[08:16] Gilbert**
Now, what about the walls?
**[08:18] Diana**
Why not a pretty green?
**[08:21] Fred**
Good idea. I was thinking
just the same thing.
**[08:24] Diana**
Were you really?
**[08:26] Fred**
Yes. I know green would look splendid.
**[08:29] Gilbert**
So we'll have it painted green?
**[08:32] Anne**
So it seems.
**[08:33] Anne**
And I guess we'll ask
Mr. Roger Pie to do the job.
**[08:37] Gilbert**
The Pyes did subscribe the most, altogether.
**[08:40] Anne**
Would you care for more tea?
**[08:42] Diana**
Yes please.
**[08:44] Gilbert**
In that case, we'll meet again in a week.
**[08:49] Anne**
Wait, where is Dora?
**[08:51] Diana**
She just went out back with Davy.
**[08:55] Anne**
What?
**[09:01] Anne**
Dora!
**[09:06] Anne**
What has happened to you?
**[09:07] Anne**
You're covered in mud.
**[09:11] Dora**
Davy made me walk the pigpen fence.
**[09:18] Anne**
Don't tell me you walked it?
**[09:20] Dora**
I tried, but...
**[09:23] Anne**
You fell in?
**[09:28] Anne**
How could you do such a
thing to your sister?
**[09:30] Anne**
I'm truly disappointed in you.
**[09:33] Anne**
Davy?!
**[09:34] Davy**
I never feel sorry for doing things
till after I've did them.
**[09:39] Davy**
Dora wouldn't help me make pies,
'cause she was afraid of messing her clo'es
**[09:45] Davy**
and that made me hopping mad.
**[09:54] Davy**
I s'pose Paul Irving
**[09:55] Davy**
wouldn't have made his sister walk a
pigpen fence if he knew she'd fall in?
**[10:02] Anne**
No, he would never dream of such a thing.
**[10:07] Anne**
Davy?
**[10:08] Davy**
Anne, don't you like me a little bit,
**[10:13] Davy**
even if I ain't a good boy like Paul?
**[10:18] Anne**
Indeed I do.
**[10:22] Davy**
You mean it?!
**[10:23] Anne**
Yes.
**[10:24] Anne**
But I'd like you better still
if you weren't so naughty.
**[10:31] Davy**
I... did something else today.
**[10:34] Davy**
I'm sorry now, but I'm
awful scared to tell you.
**[10:37] Anne**
Davy, what is it you've done?
**[10:42] Anne**
Davy, tell me what you've done!
**[10:45] Davy**
I put a toad in Marilla's bed.
**[10:49] Davy**
You can go and take it out if you like.
**[10:51] Davy**
But say, wouldn't it be
fun to leave it there?
**[11:15] Davy**
I thought that'd make more fun.
**[11:22] Davy**
Oh, well.
**[11:37] Anne**
This last fortnight has been so peaceful,
**[11:41] Anne**
and even Davy has been almost well-behaved.
**[11:44] Anne**
How quiet the woods are today...
**[11:49] Anne**
not a murmur except that soft
wind purring in the treetops!
**[11:54] Anne**
You beautiful trees!
**[11:59] Anne**
I love every one of you as a friend.
**[12:04] Diana**
Anne Shirley, you're only
pretending to be grown up.
**[12:10] Diana**
I believe when you're alone you're
as much a little girl as you ever were.
**[12:15] Anne**
You see, I was little for fourteen years
**[12:18] Anne**
and I've only been grown-uppish
for scarcely three.
**[12:22] Anne**
These walks home from school are almost
the only time I have for dreaming.
**[12:28] Diana**
That sounds splendid.
**[12:30] Anne**
Where are you going, Diana?
**[12:33] Diana**
Down to the Dicksons.
**[12:35] Diana**
I promised to help Alberta
cut out her new dress.
**[12:38] Diana**
Can't you walk down in the evening,
Anne, and come home with me?
**[12:41] Anne**
I might...
**[12:42] Anne**
since Fred Wright is away in town
**[12:47] Anne**
Is his company really so enjoyable?
**[12:49] Diana**
I don't see why *I* should know.
**[12:55] Anne**
Wait!
**[12:56] Anne**
Don't leave me!
**[12:58] Anne; Diana**
Really!
**[13:02] Anne**
I'm home, Marilla.
**[13:04] Marilla**
Anne, Dora is lost!
**[13:08] Marilla**
I only just got home from Rachel's
and no Dora to be seen.
**[13:15] Anne**
Davy, do you know where she is?
**[13:19] Davy**
No, I don't.
**[13:20] Davy**
I haven't seen her since
dinner time, cross my heart.
**[13:25] Anne**
I see.
**[13:25] Marilla**
I've hunted the whole house through.
**[13:28] Anne**
She would never wander far away alone.
**[13:31] Anne**
Let's search again.
**[13:37] Marilla**
Dora!
**[13:40] Anne**
Dora!
**[13:42] Marilla**
It's a most mysterious thing.
**[13:44] Anne**
Where can she be?
**[13:46] Davy**
Maybe she's tumbled into the well.
**[13:50] Marilla**
Did you see her?
**[13:51] Davy**
No, but you've looked everywhere
'cept round the well.
**[14:04] Anne**
If Dora fell in here...
**[14:09] Marilla**
Run across for Mr. Harrison.
**[14:11] Anne**
Mr. Harrison is away.
**[14:13] Anne**
I'll go for Mr. Barry.
**[14:28] Barry**
She can't be down there.
**[14:30] Barry**
Look here, young man, are you sure
you've no idea where your sister is?
**[14:35] Davy**
I've told you a dozen
times that I haven't.
**[14:37] Davy**
Maybe a tramp come and stole her.
**[14:41] Marilla**
Nonsense.
**[14:43] Marilla**
Anne, do you suppose she could have
strayed over to Mr. Harrison's?
**[14:47] Marilla**
She has always been talking about his parrot
ever since that time you took her over.
**[14:53] Anne**
I'll go over and see.
**[14:57] Anne**
Dora! Dora!
**[15:03] Ginger**
Redheaded snippet!
**[15:05] Ginger**
Redheaded snippet!
**[15:09] Anne**
Dora!
**[15:11] Anne**
Do—
**[15:14] Anne**
Dora...
**[15:20] Anne**
Oh, Dora!
**[15:21] Anne**
Dora, what a fright you have given us!
**[15:24] Anne**
How came you to be here?
**[15:26] Dora**
Davy and I came over to see Ginger,
**[15:30] Dora**
but Mr. Harrison weren't here.
**[15:33] Dora**
And then Davy brought me here
and run out and shut the door.
**[15:39] Dora**
I cried and cried, I was frightened,
**[15:41] Dora**
and I thought you'd never come.
**[15:45] (Flashback) Davy**
Cross my heart.
**[15:49] Marilla**
Dora!
**[15:50] Marilla**
Mr. Barry, Dora is here!
**[15:54] Barry**
Thank heavens.
**[16:00] Anne**
Where is Davy?
**[16:03] Marilla**
I found him hiding in the stable.
**[16:16] Anne**
How could you behave so, Davy?!
**[16:21] Davy**
I... I just did it for fun.
**[16:24] Davy**
I thought it would be fun to
give you folks a big scare.
**[16:29] Anne**
But you told a falsehood about it, Davy.
**[16:32] Davy**
What's a falsehood? Do you mean a whopper?
**[16:35] Anne**
I mean a story that was not true.
**[16:39] Davy**
Course I did. Everybody tells whoppers.
**[16:44] Davy**
If I hadn't, you wouldn't
have been scared.
**[16:47] Davy**
I *had* to tell it.
**[16:51] Davy**
Anne?
**[16:52] Davy**
What are you crying for?
**[16:54] Davy**
You're supposed to get scared!
**[16:56] Davy**
That's why I—
**[16:58] Anne**
Oh, Davy, how could you?
Don't you know how wrong it was?
**[17:04] Davy**
Anne...
**[17:14] Davy**
I'm sorry, Anne!
**[17:15] Davy**
I didn't know it was
wrong to tell whoppers!
**[17:20] Davy**
How did you expect me to know it was wrong?
**[17:21] Davy**
All Mr. Sprott's children
told them *regular* every day.
**[17:26] Davy**
I s'pose Paul Irving never tells whoppers
**[17:30] Davy**
and here I've been trying awful
hard to be as good as him,
**[17:35] Davy**
but it ain't easy.
**[17:43] Davy**
Now I s'pose you'll never love me again.
**[17:48] Davy**
I'm awful sorry I've made you cry, Anne.
**[17:51] Anne**
Listen, Davy,
**[17:53] Anne**
there is plenty of fun to be had in
this world without telling falsehoods.
**[18:00] Anne**
I'll teach you.
**[18:06] Anne**
He didn't know it was wrong
to tell falsehoods, Marilla.
**[18:11] Anne**
I think we must forgive him if he will
promise never to say what isn't true again.
**[18:17] Davy**
I never will, now that I know it's bad.
**[18:22] Davy**
If you ever catch me telling a whopper
again you can... you can skin me alive.
**[18:30] Anne**
You mustn't say such things.
**[18:35] Davy**
Fine, then. What'll you do to me this time?
**[18:39] Davy**
I want to know.
**[18:41] Marilla**
That's a good question.
**[18:43] Marilla**
I can't think of any way except to
send him to bed without his supper.
**[18:48] Marilla**
Can't you suggest something else
with that imagination of yours, Anne?
**[18:53] Anne**
That will do.
**[18:55] Anne**
I like to imagine only pleasant things.
**[19:00] Anne**
There are so many unpleasant
things in the world already
**[19:06] Anne**
that there is no use in imagining any more.
**[19:14] Davy**
Anne, is it wrong for everybody
to tell falsehoods?
**[19:18] Anne**
Yes, indeed.
**[19:19] Davy**
Is it wrong for a grown-up person?
**[19:20] Anne**
Yes.
**[19:21] Davy**
Then, Marilla is bad, for she tells them.
**[19:25] Anne**
Davy Keith, Marilla never
told a story in her life.
**[19:29] Davy**
She did so.
**[19:31] Davy**
She told me that something
dreadful would happen to me
**[19:33] Davy**
if I didn't say my prayers every night.
**[19:35] Davy**
And I haven't said them for over a week,
just to see what would happen...
**[19:43] Davy**
and nothing has.
**[19:46] Davy**
Why not, if she doesn't tell falsehoods?
**[19:49] Anne**
Why, Davy Keith, something dreadful
has happened to you this very day.
**[19:54] Davy**
I s'pose you mean being sent
to bed without any supper,
**[19:57] Davy**
but that isn't dreadful.
**[20:00] Davy**
I always eat twice as much for breakfast.
**[20:03] Anne**
I don't mean your being sent to bed.
**[20:04] Anne**
I mean the fact that you
told a falsehood today.
**[20:10] Anne**
For a boy to tell what isn't true is almost
the worst thing that could happen to him.
**[20:14] Anne**
So you see Marilla told you the truth.
**[20:20] Davy**
Oh.
**[20:22] Davy**
But I thought the something
bad would be exciting.
**[20:32] Marilla**
I suppose I shouldn't have told him that,
**[20:35] Marilla**
although I heard a minister
say it to a child once.
**[20:41] Anne**
And that convinced them, I suppose.
**[20:44] Anne**
But Davy isn't so easily satisfied.
**[20:47] Marilla**
True enough.
**[20:48] Marilla**
I do not know what we are
going to do with that child.
**[20:51] Marilla**
And Dora is such a good girl.
**[20:54] Anne**
A good child brings her own challenges.
**[20:56] Anne**
And remember how bad I was when I came here.
**[21:02] Marilla**
You were always getting
into terrible scrapes.
**[21:11] Anne**
I don't see that I said anything so funny.
**[21:16] Anne**
Davy's mind has to have
something to occupy it,
**[21:21] Anne**
just as mine did.
**[21:23] Marilla**
You may be right.
**[21:25] Anne**
You and Matthew helped me
to get as far as I have.
**[21:30] Anne**
I'd like to do the same for those children.
**[21:35] Anne**
Perhaps we always love best
the people who need us.
**[21:42] Anne**
And they need us badly.
**[21:46] Marilla**
You know, Matthew once told me just that.
**[21:51] Anne**
Did he really?
**[21:53] Anne**
And who was it who needed Matthew?
**[21:59] Anne**
Tell me. I want to know!

**[00:01] Anne**
* Ten whole months have flown by since*
* Davy and Dora came to Green Gables.*
**[00:08] Anne**
* Right when the children had*
* really come to feel at home,*
**[00:11] Anne**
*we got notice of a most unexpected visit.*
**[00:16] Davy**
I'm *awful* hungry.
**[00:20] Anne**
I'll give you a biscuit in a minute.
**[00:22] Davy**
But I ain't biscuit hungry.
**[00:25] Davy**
I'm plum cake hungry.
**[00:27] Anne**
That's a kind of hunger that
can be endured very comfortably.
**[00:34] Davy**
Well, gimme a biscuit, then.
**[00:40] Anne**
Oh, Marilla!
**[00:41] Anne**
What do you think this letter is about?
**[00:44] Marilla**
I'm sure I don't know.
**[00:45] Anne**
It's from Priscilla, my friend from Queen's,
**[00:48] Anne**
and she says that Mrs. Morgan
is on the Island.
**[00:52] Marilla**
The Mrs. Morgan who writes those
novels you're always reading?
**[00:56] Anne**
The very same!
**[00:57] Anne**
*The Rosebud Garden is my special favorite.*
**[01:01] Anne**
Mrs. Morgan is a distant
relative of Priscilla's,
**[01:05] Anne**
and if it is fine Thursday, they are going
to drive up to Avonlea for dinner.
**[01:10] Anne**
Oh, isn't it wonderful?
**[01:13] Anne**
I can hardly believe I'm not dreaming.
**[01:15] Marilla**
I daresay Mrs. Morgan is
a lot like other people.
**[01:19] Anne**
Oh, Marilla, may I cook every
bit of the dinner myself?
**[01:23] Anne**
I want to feel that I can do something
for the author of *The Rosebud Garden*.
**[01:27] Marilla**
I daresay you wouldn't
take no for an answer.
**[01:31] Marilla**
You're quite welcome to the job.
**[01:33] Anne**
Oh, thank you!
**[01:35] Anne**
Then we ought to invite
Mr. and Mrs. Allan and Miss Stacy, too.
**[01:39] Anne**
And I'll ask Diana over to help.
**[01:41] Marilla**
You'd better not try to
put on too much style.
**[01:44] Anne**
I won't!
**[01:46] Anne**
What shall we put on the menu?
**[01:48] Anne**
And how shall we dress the place up?
**[01:50] Anne**
I simply must put on a marvelous
dinner for Mrs. Morgan!

**[03:31] Anne**
I'll have a light soup to begin with,
**[03:35] Anne**
and then a couple of roast fowls.
**[03:38] Davy**
If Marilla'll hold them by
the legs, I'll manage the axe.
**[03:42] Anne**
I'd appreciate it.
**[03:45] Anne**
Then I'll have peas and beans and
creamed potatoes and a lettuce salad.
**[03:51] Anne**
Dora, would you help me shell the peas?
**[03:55] Dora**
Of course.
**[03:56] Anne**
I'm having very important
guests tomorrow, you two.
**[04:00] Anne**
Promise me you'll be on your best behavior.
**[04:02] Davy; Dora**
We will!
**[04:03] Anne**
Good. Then we'll start with a cleaning!
**[04:14] Diana**
Say, Anne,
**[04:16] Diana**
what do you imagine Mrs. Morgan is like?
**[04:18] Anne**
I've imagined her a
dozen different ways.
**[04:22] Anne**
What she'll look like,
and what she'll say.
**[04:25] Anne**
And I'm so anxious about
the freckles on my nose.
**[04:29] Anne**
All Mrs. Morgan's heroines
have such perfect complexions.
**[04:34] Diana**
They're not very noticeable.
**[04:36] Anne**
Do you think so?
**[04:38] Diana**
Try a little lemon juice on them
tonight if they really bother you.
**[04:42] Anne**
I'll give that a try.
**[04:45] Davy**
Anne, why's your nose all
shiny? I want to know.
**[04:49] Anne**
I put lemon juice on it.
**[04:51] Davy**
What'd you want to do that for?
**[04:55] Anne**
Because I want to look my best.
**[04:57] Davy**
Huh.
**[04:59] Anne**
Thank you for all your help today, Davy-boy.
**[05:02] Anne**
Will you promise to behave
yourself again tomorrow?
**[05:05] Davy**
If I'm as good as good
can be all day tomorrow.
**[05:07] Davy**
will you let me be just as bad
as I like all the next day?
**[05:10] Anne**
I couldn't do that,
**[05:12] Anne**
but I'll take you and Dora
for a row in the flat.
**[05:16] Davy**
Really? It's a bargain!
**[05:18] Davy**
I meant to go over to Mr. Harrison's and
fire peas from my new popgun at Ginger,
**[05:23] Davy**
but another day'll do as well.
**[05:25] Anne**
You shouldn't do that *any* day.
**[05:27] Davy**
I bet tomorrow'll be no fun,
since I'll have to be good all the time.
**[05:32] Anne**
I won't let that happen.
**[05:34] Anne**
We're having my dear Mrs. Morgan to dinner;
**[05:37] Anne**
I'll make it a wonderful day!
**[05:47] Anne**
It looks like a lovely day.
**[05:55] Diana**
Good morning, Anne.
**[05:56] Anne**
Good morning, Diana.
**[05:58] Anne**
You look simply sweet in that apron.
**[06:00] Diana**
This is for the preparations.
**[06:02] Diana**
Of course I'll wear my
white muslin to dinner.
**[06:07] Anne**
I know you'll look lovely in it.
**[06:08] Diana**
But it's a little tight.
**[06:10] Diana**
I weigh four pounds more
than I did last month.
**[06:13] Diana**
Mrs. Morgan's heroines
are all tall and slender.
**[06:18] Anne**
And what if they are?
**[06:20] Anne**
You're Diana Barry with the dearest dimples.
**[06:22] Anne**
Let's forget our troubles
and think of our mercies.
**[06:25] Anne**
If I have a freckled nose,
the *shape* of it is all right.
**[06:30] Diana**
Yes, it is.
**[06:31] Anne**
Do you think the lemon juice did any good?
**[06:34] Diana**
Yes, I really think it did.
**[06:36] Anne**
Did it really? Thank goodness!
**[06:38] Diana**
I'll help you pick flowers.
**[06:40] Anne**
We'll decorate the parlor first,
then set the table.
**[06:46] Anne**
Priscilla said they'd
be here about twelve.
**[06:49] Diana**
Yes!
**[06:55] Anne**
Let's put an allusion to
*The Rosebud Garden* at Mrs. Morgan's place.
**[07:00] Diana**
What a lovely idea!
**[07:16] Anne**
I'm pleased to see you being good, Davy.
**[07:19] Davy**
I promised, didn't I?
**[07:25] Anne**
Now if only my freckles don't
make themselves too obvious.
**[07:29] Diana**
I do hope I'll be able to say
something once in a while.
**[07:31] Anne**
I don't think there is much fear
that *I* won't be able to talk.
**[07:38] Anne**
It was so good of you all to come.
**[07:41] Mr. Allan**
Thank you for inviting us today.
**[07:44] Mrs. Allan**
The thought of it has brightened our days.
**[07:46] Stacy**
How nice to see you again, Anne, Diana.
**[07:49] Stacy**
You both look charming.
**[07:52] Anne; Diana**
Thank you very much.
**[07:57] Diana**
They're awfully late.
**[07:59] Anne**
Suppose they don't come at all?
**[08:01] Diana**
Don't suppose it.
**[08:03] Diana**
But they really ought to be here by now.
**[08:11] Marilla**
Anne, Miss Stacy wants to
see the willowware platter.
**[08:16] Anne**
I thought she would. I'm just wiping it.
**[08:27] Anne**
Davy?!
**[08:28] Davy**
I finished raveling out my herring net
and went to put it on the shelf, only...
**[08:34] Marilla**
Davy Keith, didn't I forbid you to climb
up on that table again? Didn't I?
**[08:38] Davy**
I forgot.
**[08:41] Davy**
You've told me not to do such an awful lot
of things that I can't remember them all.
**[08:45] Marilla**
Well, you march upstairs and
stay there till after dinner!
**[08:48] Davy**
I didn't mean to fall on the pie.
**[08:52] Davy**
Since it's spoiled, can't I take
some of the pieces upstairs with me?
**[08:58] Anne**
No, you may not!
**[09:00] Diana**
What shall we do for dessert?
**[09:03] Anne**
I think we have a crock
of strawberry preserves.
**[09:07] Diana**
There's plenty of whipped cream
left in the bowl for it.
**[09:17] Anne**
Something must have delayed them.
**[09:19] Marilla**
We cannot keep the Allans or
Miss Stacy waiting any longer.
**[09:25] Marilla**
Shall we go ahead and have dinner now?
**[09:28] Anne**
No, I know that they'll be here.
**[09:31] Anne**
Mrs. Morgan's heroines
always rise to the occasion.
**[09:38] Diana**
Anne, did *you* put sugar in these peas?
**[09:42] Anne**
Yes, I put a spoonful of
sugar in. We always do.
**[09:46] Diana**
But *I* put a spoonful in too,
when I set them on the stove.
**[09:52] Anne**
They're sweet! How awful!
**[09:53] Marilla**
It's a case of too many cooks, I guess.
**[09:56] Marilla**
I didn't think you'd remember about
the sugar, Anne, so *I* put in a spoonful.
**[10:07] Anne**
Well, there will be no green peas today.
**[10:16] Anne**
No!
**[10:19] Marilla**
Davy!
**[10:20] Marilla**
Did you throw that conch down *on purpose?!*
**[10:23] Davy**
No, I never did. I got hungry and tried
to go downstairs and my hand slipped.
**[10:29] Marilla**
Well, look what you've done!
**[10:31] Anne**
Don't blame Davy.
**[10:34] Anne**
It was my fault. I set that platter
there and forgot all about it.
**[10:41] Anne**
Mrs. Morgan?! Now, of all times?!
**[10:47] Lynde**
Good afternoon.
**[10:49] Marilla**
Rachel?
**[10:50] Anne**
O-Oh, it's only you.
**[10:52] Lynde**
*Only* me, is it?
**[10:55] Lynde**
I just came from the post office.
A letter's come for you,
**[10:59] Lynde**
and I'm here to deliver it.
**[11:01] Anne**
It's from Priscilla.
She posted it yesterday.
**[11:06] Anne**
"Oh, Anne dear, I know this is sudden,
but Aunty has sprained her ankle."
**[11:10] Anne**
"I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid we won't
get up to Green Gables at all now,"
**[11:14] Anne**
"for by the time Aunty's ankle is well,
she will have to go back to Toronto."
**[11:25] Lynde**
I hope I'm not imposing.
**[11:29] Anne**
It was too good to be true.
**[11:31] Anne**
Perhaps when Diana and I are old and gray,
we shall be able to laugh over today.
**[11:37] Anne**
But not before then, for it has
truly been a bitter disappointment.
**[11:42] Anne**
Have you heard about the hall?
**[11:44] Marilla**
Yes, they painted it a brilliant blue.
**[11:48] Anne**
They were *meant* to paint
it a beautiful green.
**[11:51] Anne**
It was to be the symbol of our society.
**[11:55] Marilla**
You are never going to outgrow your fashion
of setting your heart so on things
**[11:58] Marilla**
and then crashing down into despair
because you don't get them.
**[12:02] Anne**
I know I'm too much inclined that way.
**[12:05] Anne**
When I think something
nice is going to happen,
**[12:09] Anne**
I seem to fly right up on
the wings of anticipation.
**[12:14] Anne**
But the flying part is glorious
as long as it lasts.
**[12:17] Anne**
It's like soaring through a sunset.
**[12:21] Anne**
I think it almost pays for the thud.
**[12:25] Marilla**
I'd rather walk calmly along and
do without both flying and thud.
**[12:29] Marilla**
Where's Davy?
**[12:31] Anne**
In bed. I've promised to take him and
Dora to the shore for a picnic tomorrow.
**[12:36] Anne**
He *tried* to be good, and I hadn't
the heart to disappoint him.
**[12:40] Marilla**
You'll drown yourself or the twins,
rowing about the pond in that flat.
**[12:45] Anne**
Suppose you come with us tomorrow.
**[12:47] Marilla**
No, thank you.
**[12:49] Marilla**
There's Gilbert coming up the lane.
**[12:54] Marilla**
Why don't you invite *him*
for a row on the pond?
**[12:57] Anne**
Yes, perhaps I will.
**[13:15] Davy**
Nothing beats a boat!
**[13:18] Gilbert**
Be careful!
**[13:21] Davy**
I wouldn't have minded if I fell in!
**[13:23] Gilbert**
I know the feeling, Davy,
but do you know how to swim?
**[13:27] Davy**
Not a bit!
**[13:29] Gilbert**
Then don't say you wouldn't mind falling in.
**[13:31] Gilbert**
You'll get a great bloated belly
full of water if you drown.
**[13:35] Davy**
Would I?!
**[13:37] Davy**
I'd like a big, full belly!
**[13:40] Gilbert**
Do *you* know how to swim, Dora?
**[13:42] Dora**
No, I don't.
**[13:44] Gilbert**
Then I'll teach you sometime.
**[13:46] Dora**
Would you really?!
**[13:47] Dora**
I love you, Gilbert!
**[13:50] Davy**
But I bet I could swim,
even if I'd never learned how.
**[13:54] Davy**
The boat's so much fun,
it makes me want to give it a try.
**[13:58] Anne**
No. We didn't bring swimming things today.
**[14:00] Davy**
Oh, you're no fun.
**[14:02] Davy**
I wanted a soak and a splash.
**[14:05] Davy**
Say, do you think I could swim to that bank?
**[14:26] Paul**
Teacher!
**[14:29] Anne**
Paul.
**[14:31] Anne**
Are you visiting a grave, too?
**[14:33] Paul**
Yes.
**[14:34] Paul**
I'm taking this bouquet of geraniums to
put on Grandpa Irving's grave for Grandma.
**[14:39] Paul**
And I'm leaving this bunch of white roses
in memory of my little mother.
**[14:46] Anne**
Your mother passed away in
the States, didn't she?
**[14:50] Paul**
Yes. It's just three years
today since she died.
**[14:56] Paul**
I'm sure Father will be visiting her grave
in Boston soon, if he hasn't already.
**[15:02] Paul**
It's been three whole years.
**[15:05] Anne**
Paul...
**[15:06] Paul**
Such a long, long time but it
hurts just as much as ever.
**[15:11] Paul**
Sometimes it seems to me that
I just can't bear it, it hurts so.
**[15:15] Anne**
And yet you wouldn't
want it to stop hurting.
**[15:21] Anne**
You wouldn't want to forget your
little mother even if you could.
**[15:30] Paul**
You're so good at understanding, teacher.
**[15:33] Paul**
I couldn't talk much to Father about Mother,
because it made him feel so bad.
**[15:39] Paul**
When he put his hand over his face,
I always knew it was time to stop.
**[15:48] Anne**
Paul...
**[15:52] Anne**
See here, Paul, you mustn't blame yourself.
Nor your father, of course.
**[15:59] Paul**
Father's splendid when
you do get to know him.
**[16:03] Paul**
I love him the best in all the world,
and Grandma Irving next,
**[16:08] Paul**
and then you, teacher.
**[16:10] Anne**
Goodness!
**[16:11] Paul**
I'd love you next to father if it wasn't
my *duty* to love Grandma Irving best,
**[16:16] Paul**
because she's doing so much for me.
**[16:18] Anne**
Yes, and I love you, too, Paul.
**[16:22] Anne**
If you don't mind, would you
tell me about your mother?
**[16:25] Paul**
Of course.
**[16:26] Paul**
Mrs. Lynde came over the other day.
**[16:30] Paul**
She looked at a photo of Mother and said,
**[16:32] Paul**
"She's a real pretty woman, but I daresay
your father will find another wife."
**[16:39] Paul**
She gave me such a shock, I thought
I might die then and there.
**[16:52] Marilla**
Now, Davy, you try to be a good
boy and don't bother Anne.
**[16:57] Davy**
I won't be bad on purpose,
but s'posen I'm bad zacksidentally?
**[17:03] Marilla**
You'll have to guard against accidents.
**[17:06] Marilla**
Anne, if Mr. Shearer comes
today, get some steak.
**[17:12] Anne**
I'll remember.
**[17:13] Marilla**
Well then, I'd best be off.
**[17:15] Anne; Davy**
Take care.
**[17:17] Anne**
Come along, Davy-boy.
You'll help me clean the house today.
**[17:22] Davy**
All right.
**[17:24] Davy**
But I want a cookie first.
**[17:26] Anne**
Not till we're done!
**[17:38] Anne**
More rampant than ever.
**[17:43] Davy**
What're you looking for, Anne?
**[17:46] Anne**
My freckle lotion. I found the
recipe for it in a magazine.
**[17:50] Anne**
Here it is!
**[17:58] Anne**
That must be Mr. Shearer.
**[18:01] Anne**
Here I am!
**[18:03] Anne**
Mr. Shearer, we'd like some steak and...
**[18:06] Priscilla**
It's dreadful to come upon
you so unexpectedly as this.
**[18:08] Priscilla**
This is Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Pendexter.
**[18:15] Anne**
M-M-Mrs. Morgan?!
**[18:18] Anne**
W-Welcome to Green Gables.
**[18:21] Anne**
It's an honor to meet you.
**[18:23] Anne**
My name is Anne Shirley.
**[18:28] Anne**
I didn't expect Mrs. Morgan to be
a stout little gray-haired woman.
**[18:32] Priscilla**
The tall one is Mrs. Pendexter.
**[18:35] Priscilla**
She lives in New York and her
husband is a millionaire.
**[18:37] Anne**
In any event, this is all awfully sudden.
I can still feel my heart racing.
**[18:41] Priscilla**
I'm so sorry. Aunty's ankle felt better
sooner than we expected,
**[18:46] Priscilla**
and she wanted to meet you,
so I brought her over.
**[18:49] Priscilla**
But really, Anne, your nose...
**[18:52] Anne**
My freckles, you mean!
**[18:54] Anne**
I know, but it's no use fretting.
**[18:56] Anne**
I'll run and get things ready for tea.
**[19:00] Anne**
Thank goodness Marilla made preserves.
**[19:04] Diana**
Do you have company, Anne?
I saw a strange carriage outside.
**[19:09] Anne**
Diana, you couldn't have
come at a better time.
**[19:11] Anne**
Who do you suppose is in that
parlor at this very moment?
**[19:16] Anne**
Oh, Diana, don't look at me so.
You, at least, must be used to my freckles.
**[19:20] Diana**
It isn't your freckles, Anne.
It's your nose.
**[19:24] Anne**
My nose? Surely nothing
has gone wrong with it!
**[19:30] Anne**
What?
**[19:31] Anne**
What?!
**[19:36] Diana**
What is the matter with it?
**[19:38] Anne**
I thought I was rubbing
my freckle lotion on it,
**[19:40] Anne**
but I must have used that red dye Marilla
has for marking the pattern on her rugs.
**[19:44] Anne**
What shall I do?
**[19:46] Diana**
It's blazing scarlet,
although I don't like to say so.
**[19:52] Anne**
I don't care how much it hurts!
Scrub as hard as you can!
**[19:57] Diana**
I'm trying to!
**[19:58] Anne**
First I dye my hair; then I dye my nose.
**[20:04] Anne**
Marilla cut my hair off when I dyed it
**[20:07] Anne**
but that remedy would hardly
be practicable in this case.
**[20:09] Diana**
It's awfully stubborn!
**[20:11] Anne**
Wait, that hurts! It hurts!
**[20:14] Anne**
What good will rubbing it even redder do?!
**[20:17] Diana**
You said you didn't mind if it hurt!
**[20:22] Morgan**
These preserved plums taste delightful.
**[20:26] Anne**
Yes. Marilla made them.
**[20:29] Pendexter**
A really refined flavor.
**[20:32] Pendexter**
May I ask for another helping?
**[20:34] Anne**
Yes, of course.
**[20:42] Anne**
And so I brushed on the dye, trying to turn
my hair black, but it came out *green*.
**[20:47] Anne**
Even red hair was better than that.
**[20:52] Anne**
Yet here I am four years later,
**[20:54] Anne**
turning my *nose* red with what
I thought was freckle cream.
**[20:58] Anne**
I certainly am clumsy with dyes!
**[21:09] Morgan; Pendexter**
Good day.
**[21:11] Anne**
Take care!
**[21:12] Davy**
Bye-bye!
**[21:21] Anne**
It has indeed been a feast of reason
and flow of soul, hasn't it?
**[21:25] Anne**
I don't know which I enjoyed more,
**[21:29] Anne**
listening to Mrs. Morgan or
gazing at Mrs. Pendexter.
**[21:33] Diana**
Mrs. Pendexter is rich, and yet she took
a second helping of the plum preserves.
**[21:39] Anne**
I daresay even an English earl
**[21:41] Anne**
wouldn't have turned up his aristocratic
nose at Marilla's plum preserves.
**[21:49] Anne**
I shall never try any
beautifying messes again.
**[21:52] Anne**
A few freckles are preferable to a red nose.
**[21:59] Anne**
I'm more like myself with them.

**[00:05] Diana**
We'll never reach the Kimballs'
in time for tea now.
**[00:12] Anne**
If only we at least knew where we were.
**[00:17] Anne**
* Diana and I accepted an*
* invitation from a friend*
**[00:20] Anne**
*and got ourselves lost in the woods.*
**[00:24] Diana**
What shall we do?
**[00:26] Diana**
Should we turn back and go home?
**[00:29] Anne**
Wait.
**[00:30] Anne**
There's a house.
**[00:35] Diana**
Why, it's Echo Lodge.
**[00:41] Diana**
Miss Lavendar Lewis lives here.
They say she is very peculiar.
**[00:45] Anne**
Lavendar Lewis?
**[00:47] (Flashback) Lynde**
That Paul is Stephen Irving's boy.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Lynde**
You remember. Him that jilted
Lavendar Lewis over at Grafton?
**[00:59] Anne**
I've heard her name before.
**[01:04] Charlotta**
Come in, ma'am. And you, ma'am.
**[01:07] Anne**
Is Miss Lewis at home?
**[01:10] Charlotta**
I'll tell Miss Lavendar
you're here, ma'am.
**[01:15] Charlotta**
And sit down, ma'am.
**[01:16] Diana**
Couldn't she have directed us to the road?
**[01:19] Anne**
I was curious to see Miss Lavendar.
**[01:36] Lavendar**
Welcome to Echo Lodge.
**[01:39] Lavendar**
Won't you stay and have tea with me?
**[01:42] Anne**
But you are expecting other
guests, aren't you?
**[01:45] Lavendar**
Not at all.
**[01:46] Lavendar**
So few people ever come here.
**[01:49] Lavendar**
So we just pretended we were
going to have a tea party.
**[01:54] Lavendar**
I know you'll think me dreadfully foolish.
**[01:58] Anne**
Oh, no, I—
**[01:59] Lavendar**
It's quite all right. I *am* foolish.
**[02:02] Lavendar**
And I'm ashamed of it
when I'm found out.

**[03:41] Marilla**
Lavendar Lewis?
**[03:43] Marilla**
It's over fifteen years
since I saw her last.
**[03:46] Marilla**
She was reckoned a great
beauty when she was a girl.
**[03:49] Marilla**
Davy Keith!
**[03:51] Marilla**
Don't spread yourself over
the table in that fashion!
**[03:51] Anne**
Her hair is snow-white but her
face is fresh and almost girlish,
**[03:56] Anne**
and she's very interesting.
**[04:00] (Flashback) Lavendar**
Of course it's silly in
anybody as old as I am.
**[04:03] (Flashback) Lavendar**
But what is the use of being
an independent old maid
**[04:06] (Flashback) Lavendar**
if you can't be silly when you want to,
and when it doesn't hurt anybody?
**[04:13] Anne**
Miss Lavendar imagines things, too.
**[04:18] Anne**
But when we were plucking flowers from
her garden and getting ready to leave...
**[04:24] Anne**
my tongue slipped.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Lavendar**
Paul Irving?
**[04:33] (Flashback) Anne**
He is a little pupil of mine.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Anne**
He came from Boston last year
**[04:38] (Flashback) Anne**
to live with his grandmother,
Mrs. Irving of the shore road.
**[04:45] (Flashback) Lavendar**
Then he must be...
**[04:47] (Flashback) Lavendar**
Stephen Irving's son.
**[04:52] Anne**
That was rash of me.
**[04:54] Marilla**
Don't go nosing into other people's affairs.
**[04:57] Anne**
I really did not mean to!
**[05:01] Anne**
I do wonder what went wrong between
Miss Lavendar and Paul's father.
**[05:07] Marilla**
It must have been something terrible,
for they broke off their engagement.
**[05:12] Marilla**
Then Stephen went away to the
States and never come home since.
**[05:17] Anne**
Perhaps it was nothing
very dreadful after all.
**[05:22] Anne**
It's time I went to the A.V.I.S. meeting.
**[05:24] Anne**
Please don't say anything about my
being at Miss Lavendar's to Mrs. Lynde.
**[05:28] Marilla**
I won't, though Rachel's tied down
home now on account of Thomas.
**[05:31] Davy**
Now *that* tastes fine!
**[05:33] Marilla**
Davy!
**[05:35] Marilla**
Do stop squirming like an eel!
**[05:35] Davy**
It tastes too good to stop!
**[05:41] Anne**
* Diana and I paid many a visit*
* to Echo Lodge after that.*
**[05:49] Anne**
* On days when Diana could*
* not go, I went alone.*
**[05:56] Anne**
Miss Lavendar!
**[05:59] Lavendar**
I thought you would come tonight, Anne!
**[06:05] Lavendar**
Charlotta the Fourth is away for the night.
**[06:09] Lavendar**
I should have been very lonely
if you hadn't come.
**[06:13] Anne**
I told Marilla that I planned to
stay the night at Echo Lodge.
**[06:20] Lavendar**
I'm doubly glad.
**[06:22] Lavendar**
Oh, Anne, how pretty you are!
**[06:28] Lavendar**
Charlotta the Fourth is the
youngest of four sisters.
**[06:32] Lavendar**
Her real name is...
**[06:35] Lavendar**
Leonora!
**[06:37] Anne**
Charlotta the Fourth is named Leonora?
**[06:40] Lavendar**
Charlotta is her oldest sister's name.
**[06:44] Lavendar**
She stayed with me till she was sixteen.
**[06:49] Lavendar**
Then came her sister...
**[06:51] Lavendar**
Oh, yes! Julietta!
**[06:53] Lavendar**
But she looked so like Charlotta that
I kept calling her that all the time.
**[07:00] Lavendar**
And she didn't mind.
**[07:02] Lavendar**
So I just gave up trying to remember her
right name. She was Charlotta the Second.
**[07:07] Lavendar**
And when she went away Evelina came
and she was Charlotta the Third.
**[07:12] Lavendar**
Now I have Charlotta the Fourth.
**[07:17] Lavendar**
Have I said something funny?
**[07:25] Lavendar**
Stephen Irving and me?
**[07:28] Anne**
Yes, I've heard that you
and he were engaged once.
**[07:32] Lavendar**
So we were, twenty-five years ago.
**[07:39] Lavendar**
We'd been engaged in a way almost
all our lives, you might say.
**[07:46] Lavendar**
He was nine and I was six.
**[08:00] Lavendar**
The next time we met,
**[08:02] Lavendar**
he told me that he had pretty well made up
his mind to marry me when he grew up.
**[08:08] Lavendar**
I remember that I said, "Thank you."
**[08:12] Lavendar**
But...
**[08:14] Lavendar**
Not long after our engagement,
**[08:17] Lavendar**
we had just a stupid, silly,
commonplace quarrel.
**[08:21] Lavendar**
He was a very high-strung, sensitive fellow.
**[08:24] Lavendar**
I suppose I provoked him by
some foolishness of mine.
**[08:29] Lavendar**
One day, when Stephen came
back to mend matters,
**[08:37] Lavendar**
I wouldn't listen to him.
**[08:46] Lavendar**
And so he went away for good.
**[08:55] Lavendar**
I might have sent for him perhaps,
**[08:59] Lavendar**
but I couldn't humble myself to do that.
**[09:04] Lavendar**
I knew I would rather be an old maid than
marry anybody who wasn't Stephen Irving.
**[09:11] Lavendar**
Anne?
**[09:14] Anne**
I'm sorry. I just...
**[09:20] Lavendar**
You look sympathetic as only seventeen
can look. But don't overdo it.
**[09:26] Lavendar**
My heart did break, if ever a heart did,
**[09:30] Lavendar**
but real life *won't* let you stay miserable.
**[09:33] Lavendar**
I'm really a very happy, contented little
person in spite of my broken heart.
**[09:39] Lavendar**
I enjoy dreams and echoes and peanut candy.
**[09:47] Lavendar**
It gave me a shock to hear about Stephen's
son that first day you were here, Anne.
**[09:54] Lavendar**
What sort of a boy is he?
**[09:56] Anne**
He is the dearest, sweetest
child I ever knew.
**[10:01] Lavendar**
I'd like to see him.
**[10:03] Lavendar**
I wonder if he looks anything like the
little dream-boy who lives here with me...
**[10:09] Lavendar**
my little dream-boy.
**[10:13] Anne**
I'll bring him through with me sometime.
**[10:16] Lavendar**
Truly?
**[10:17] Anne**
Yes.
**[10:18] Lavendar**
But not too soon. I want to
get used to the thought.
**[10:22] Anne**
Oh, am I being rash again?
**[10:26] (Flashback) Marilla**
Don't go nosing into other people's affairs.
**[10:29] Anne**
*I won't tell Marilla. And Paul...*
**[10:33] Anne**
*What shall I say to Paul?*
**[10:42] Paul**
Why does Miss Lewis want
to see me, do you think?
**[10:46] Anne**
Miss Lavendar pretends
things just like we do.
**[10:51] Anne**
I suppose she wants to talk
with you because of that.
**[10:55] Paul**
Does she really? That sounds like fun.
**[11:05] Lavendar**
Welcome.
**[11:07] Anne**
And this is Miss Lavendar.
**[11:10] Paul**
Good day.
**[11:12] Lavendar**
Good day to you, too.
**[11:20] Lavendar**
You... You are very like your father.
**[11:23] Paul**
Everybody says I'm a
chip off the old block.
**[11:26] Paul**
Do you know Father?
**[11:29] Lavendar**
I did. A long time ago.
**[11:32] Anne**
*I couldn't begin to imagine*
**[11:34] Anne**
* what pain this meeting*
* would cause Miss Lavendar.*
**[11:51] Anne**
Then Miss Lavendar and Paul
took to each other in no time.
**[11:56] Diana**
I knew they would.
**[11:58] Anne**
I also learned where
Echo Lodge got its name.
**[12:09] (Flashback) Lavendar**
Charlotta the Fourth and I often sit out
here and amuse ourselves with echoes.
**[12:16] (Flashback) Paul**
Hello!
**[12:21] (Flashback) Charlotta**
Well done, sir.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Anne**
That was wonderful, Paul.
**[12:25] Anne**
And as we were going, Paul said to
Miss Lavendar, "You may kiss me if you like."
**[12:32] Anne**
A goodbye kiss, of course.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Lavendar**
How did you know I wanted to kiss you?
**[12:41] (Flashback) Paul**
Because you looked at me just
as my little mother used to do.
**[12:48] (Flashback) Paul**
I think I'd like to have you for a particular
friend of mine, if you don't object.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Lavendar**
I... I don't think I shall object.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Paul**
I like Miss Lavendar.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Paul**
I like the way she looked at me,
**[13:05] (Flashback) Paul**
and I like her stone house,
and I like Charlotta the Fourth.
**[13:10] Anne**
I didn't know what to say to him.
**[13:15] Diana**
Who knows how this story will end?
**[13:19] Diana**
Anne, I'm going to ask
you a serious question.
**[13:21] Diana**
Do you care anything for Gilbert?
**[13:24] Anne**
Ever so much as a friend
**[13:26] Anne**
and not a bit in the way you mean.
**[13:31] Anne**
You know what my ideal is, Diana.
**[13:35] Diana**
Tall and slender, with dignified features
and melancholy, mysterious eyes.
**[13:42] Anne**
And a soft, enchanting voice.
**[13:46] Anne**
I would marry a man like that
if one presented himself.
**[13:50] Diana**
But people's ideals change sometimes.
**[13:52] Anne**
True. Fred Wright doesn't fulfill yours.
**[13:58] Anne**
But mine won't.
**[14:01] Diana**
What if you never meet a man who meets it?
**[14:06] Anne**
Then...
**[14:08] Lavendar**
*Real life* won't *let you stay miserable.*
**[14:12] Anne**
Then I shall die an old maid.
**[14:15] Anne**
I daresay it isn't the
hardest death by any means.
**[14:19] Diana**
Never fear, Anne.
You'll meet the right man for you.
**[14:24] Anne**
Wouldn't that be something.
**[14:35] Paul**
I can't blow the horn half as
well as Charlotta the Fourth.
**[14:38] Charlotta**
No, sir. You blew very well
for your first time, sir.
**[14:42] Lavendar**
Why, Paul, you've grown.
**[14:45] Paul**
I plan to eat heartily and keep
growing till I'm as tall as Father.
**[14:49] Paul**
He is six feet, you know.
**[14:52] Lavendar**
Yes, I do know.
**[15:02] Anne**
What is the matter, Charlotta?
**[15:05] Charlotta**
Miss Lavendar isn't well,
Miss Shirley, ma'am.
**[15:10] Charlotta**
Not since that day you and Paul
were here together before.
**[15:16] Charlotta**
Ever since then I've noticed her
acting tired and lonesome like.
**[15:18] Charlotta**
She never pretends company's coming,
nor fixes up for it, nor nothing, ma'am.
**[15:23] Paul**
Miss Lavendar, why do you
look at me like that?
**[15:27] Lavendar**
Do forgive me.
**[15:28] Lavendar**
You do put me in mind of
somebody I knew long ago.
**[15:33] Paul**
When you were young?
**[15:37] Lavendar**
Yes, when I was young.
Do I seem very old to you, Paul?
**[15:41] Paul**
Do you know, I can't make
up my mind about that.
**[15:44] Paul**
Your hair looks old.
**[15:46] Paul**
But your eyes are as young as my
beautiful teacher's when you laugh.
**[15:52] Paul**
I tell you what, Miss Lavendar,
I think you would make a splendid mother.
**[15:58] Lavendar**
What makes you say that?
**[16:03] Paul**
You have just the right look in your eyes!
The look my little mother always had!
**[16:18] Anne**
Do you think I ought never to have
taken Paul to see Miss Lavendar?
**[16:23] Marilla**
It's too late for second thoughts now.
**[16:25] Marilla**
And wasn't it Lavendar who told
you she wanted to meet him?
**[16:29] Anne**
Well, yes, she did say that.
**[16:32] Anne**
* There must be some way to lift*
* Miss Lavendar's spirits.*
**[16:48] Tailor A**
Good day.
**[16:54] Lavendar**
What a frivolous person I must be,
that a new dress should exhilarate me so.
**[17:08] Anne**
* It isn't like Paul to miss*
* school two days running.*
**[17:16] Anne**
I know he lives around here.
**[17:22] Paul**
Oh, Miss Shirley!
**[17:25] Anne**
Hello, Paul.
**[17:27] Paul**
Teacher, father is here from America.
**[17:30] Paul**
Father, this is Miss Shirley, my teacher!
**[17:35] Anne**
*Here is Paul's father*
**[17:38] Anne**
*and Miss Lavendar's prince.*
**[17:42] Stephen**
Paul's letters have been so
full of you, Miss Shirley,
**[17:46] Stephen**
that I feel as if I were pretty
well acquainted with you already.
**[17:50] Stephen**
I want to thank you for what
you have done for Paul.
**[17:56] Stephen**
I think that your influence
has been just what he needed.
**[18:03] Stephen**
Paul, would would you ask your
grandmother to make tea?
**[18:09] Paul**
Grandma!
**[18:11] Stephen**
In Paul's letters he spoke of going
with you to visit Echo Lodge.
**[18:16] Anne**
Yes, he did.
**[18:17] Stephen**
Do you know her well?
**[18:20] Anne**
Yes, indeed, she is a *very
*dear friend of mine.
**[18:23] Stephen**
I wonder how much you know.
**[18:26] Stephen**
About what passed between us.
**[18:30] Anne**
I know all about it.
**[18:34] Stephen**
I see.
**[18:38] Lavendar**
Stephen Irving is home, isn't he?
**[18:41] Anne**
How did you know? Who told you?
**[18:43] Lavendar**
Nobody. I knew that must be it,
just from the way you spoke.
**[18:48] Anne**
He wants to come and see you.
May I send him word that he may?
**[18:55] Lavendar**
Yes, of course. There is no
reason why he shouldn't.
**[19:02] Lavendar**
He is only coming as any old friend might.
**[19:05] Anne**
*Mr. Irving loves Miss Lavendar still.*
**[19:09] Anne**
*I just know he does.*
**[19:12] Anne**
*And Miss Lavendar feels the same.*
**[19:25] Stephen**
There is nothing changed about this house
or garden since twenty-five years ago.
**[19:37] Charlotta**
Please wait, sir. Miss Lavendar
will be with you shortly, sir.
**[20:05] Lavendar**
Look at me. I'm a white-haired old maid.
**[20:14] Charlotta**
Do you think that Mr. Irving
will marry Miss Lavendar?
**[20:19] Anne**
I wonder that myself.
**[20:21] Charlotta**
I've been awful worried, thinking what on
earth she'd do when I get to be sixteen
**[20:26] Charlotta**
and have to go away and
leave her on her own.
**[20:30] Anne**
I think we've cause for hope.
**[20:33] Charlotta**
If he's going away this early,
**[20:38] Charlotta**
there's nothing into it and never will be.
**[20:42] Anne**
Look, Charlotta.
**[20:47] Charlotta**
Oh, Miss Shirley, ma'am!
**[20:50] Charlotta**
He *must* have proposed to her!
**[20:57] Anne**
I'm not a prophetess,
but I'm going to make a prediction.
**[21:03] Anne**
There'll be a wedding in this old stone
house before the maple leaves are red.
**[21:16] Anne**
Do you want that translated
into prose, Charlotta?
**[21:20] Charlotta**
No, I can understand that.
**[21:23] Charlotta**
Why, you're crying! What for?
**[21:26] Anne**
Oh, I suppose...
**[21:28] Anne**
because it's all so beautiful...
and storybookish... and romantic...
**[21:35] Anne**
and sad.
**[21:44] Paul**
What a wonderfully nice
person Miss Lavendar is.
**[21:48] Paul**
I think you and she would have
been friends if you had ever met.
**[21:53] Paul**
And *you know*, Mother,
**[21:56] Paul**
I'll always, always love you.

**[02:59] Marilla**
Can you spare a moment?
**[03:00] Anne**
Yes. How is Mrs. Lynde?
**[03:04] Marilla**
She's feeling calmer and more composed
after the funeral, but she's very lonely.
**[03:10] Anne**
Yes, I suppose she must be.
**[03:13] Anne**
When I've finished these exercises,

Good. I think she'd like that.

**[03:27] Anne**
Yes?
**[03:28] Marilla**
I suppose Gilbert Blythe is

Yes.
**[03:33] Marilla**
How would you like to go too, Anne?
**[03:37] Anne**
Why ask me now? It's so sudden.
**[03:39] Marilla**
I've always felt that you should go.
**[03:44] Marilla**
I've never felt easy to think you
were giving it all up on my account.
**[03:50] Anne**
But I've never been sorry for
a moment that I stayed home.
**[03:54] Anne**
I've been so happy.
**[03:55] Anne**
Oh, these past two years

**[03:59] Marilla**
I know you've been contented enough.
**[04:01] Marilla**
But we've saved up some money, and there's
scholarships and things you might win.
**[04:07] Anne**
Yes, but I can't go.
**[04:09] Anne**
Your eyes are better, of course;
**[04:12] Anne**
but I can't leave you alone with the twins.
They need so much looking after.
**[04:17] Marilla**
That's what I wanted to talk over with you.
**[04:20] Marilla**
I'm thinking of asking Rachel
to come and live with me.
**[04:24] Anne**
What, Mrs. Lynde would
come to live with you here?
**[04:28] Marilla**
Only if you like the idea, of course.
**[04:31] Marilla**
If she comes, she'll be company for me and
she'll do for the twins what I can't do,
**[04:39] Marilla**
so you can go to college as well as not.
**[04:43] Anne**
Marilla...
**[04:44] Marilla**
Rachel's the only close
friend I've got here,
**[04:49] Marilla**
and it's breaking her heart
to think of leaving Avonlea.
**[04:53] Marilla**
I think this would be a help to all of us.
**[04:57] Marilla**
So, Anne, I want you to have a real
think about going to college.
**[05:07] Anne**
* I've put out a lot of little roots these*
* two years, both on the island and at school.*
**[05:14] Anne**
* When I'm pulled up,*
* they're going to hurt a great deal.*
**[05:20] Anne**
* But perhaps it's best to go.*
* Must I get out all my ambitions and dust them?*
**[05:32] Anthony**
Did you hear?
**[05:33] Anthony**
They say Miss Shirley's leaving the school.
**[05:36] Paul**
Why?
**[05:37] Morley**
She's going off to college.
**[05:39] Jacob**
I don't believe it!
**[05:41] Cotton 2**
Miss Shirley wouldn't up and leave us!
**[05:44] Cotton 1**
That's right! Stop spreading silly rumors!
**[05:47] Anthony**
What do you know?!
**[05:52] Anne**
Tell me, Matthew,
**[05:53] Anne**
what should I do?
**[05:56] Anne**
What would you say to me now?
**[06:07] Diana**
It will be horribly lonesome
here next winter.
**[06:11] Diana**
The Allans will be gone, too.
**[06:14] Anne**
I haven't made up my mind to go yet.
**[06:17] Diana**
I'm afraid the Improvement Society will
go down when you and Gilbert are both gone.
**[06:23] Anne**
Not a bit of fear of it,
**[06:25] Anne**
especially since the older people are
becoming so enthusiastic about it.
**[06:30] Diana**
I suppose you'll make heaps of lovely
new friends if you go off to college.
**[06:40] Anne**
No matter how many friends
I make, they'll never be
**[06:45] Anne**
as dear to me as the old ones,
**[06:49] Anne**
especially a certain girl
with black eyes and dimples.
**[06:54] Diana**
Anne...
**[06:56] Anne**
There's nobody like my own Diana.
**[07:00] Anne**
Do you remember that evening we first met?
**[07:03] Diana**
Of course I do.
**[07:04] Anne**
We "swore" eternal friendship
in your garden.
**[07:08] Diana**
Yes, we did.
**[07:09] Anne**
We've kept that "oath," I think.
We've never had a quarrel nor even a coolness.
**[07:15] Anne**
I shall never forget the thrill that went
over me the day you told me you loved me.
**[07:23] Anne**
I'm just beginning to realize how
starved and lonely my heart really was
**[07:27] Anne**
all through my childhood.
**[07:30] Anne**
I should have been miserable
if I had never met you.
**[07:34] Diana**
And I shall *never* love anybody...
any *girl*... half as well as I love you.
**[07:42] Diana**
If I ever do marry and have a little girl
of my own, I'm going to name her *Anne*.
**[07:48] Anne**
Oh, Diana!
**[08:01] Anne**
Well then, I'll be going.
**[08:04] Marilla**
You take care now.
**[08:06] Dora**
Where are you going, Anne?
**[08:09] Anne**
To Echo Lodge.
**[08:10] Davy**
Take me with you!
**[08:12] Dora**
Me, too!
**[08:13] Anne**
I will the next time I drive there.
**[08:15] Davy; Dora**
Aww!
**[08:16] Anne**
Besides, Paul is going with me,
**[08:19] Anne**
and I fear you don't enjoy
yourself in his company, Davy.
**[08:21] Davy**
Oh, I like Paul lots better'n I did.
**[08:25] Anne**
Do you really?
**[08:26] Davy**
Since I've got pretty good myself,
I don't mind his being gooder so much.
**[08:34] Davy**
If I can keep on, I'll catch up with him
some day, both in legs and goodness.
**[08:40] Marilla**
A boy who makes such a mess of syrup all
over his face when he is eating his pudding
**[08:44] Marilla**
will never catch up with Paul Irving.
**[08:47] Davy**
But I'll wash it when I'm done eating.
**[08:50] Davy**
And I'll wash behind my ears
too, without being told.
**[08:54] Davy**
I don't forget half as often as I did.
**[08:58] Anne**
What about the bottoms of your feet?
**[09:01] Davy**
There's so many corners about a fellow
that it's awful hard to remember them all.
**[09:06] Davy**
Well, if I can't go to Miss Lavendar's,
I'll go over and see Mrs. Harrison.
**[09:12] Davy**
Mrs. Harrison's an awful
nice woman, I tell you.
**[09:14] Davy**
And Mr. Harrison's twice as nice
since he got married over again.
**[09:20] Davy**
I guess getting married makes folks nicer.
**[09:23] Davy**
Why don't *you* get married, Marilla?
**[09:27] Marilla**
I suppose it's because nobody would have me.
**[09:32] Davy**
But maybe you never asked
anybody to have you.
**[09:36] Dora**
Oh, Davy, it's the *men* that
have to do the asking.
**[09:40] Davy**
But why? Why do they have to do it *always?*
**[09:44] Davy**
I want to know.
**[09:53] Paul**
I can't tell you how glad I am that
Miss Lavendar will be my new mother.
**[09:58] Paul**
Mrs. Lynde says she thinks it's likely
Miss Lavendar will be like other people,
**[10:02] Paul**
now that she's going to be married.
**[10:04] Diana**
I heard the same thing.
**[10:07] Paul**
But I don't want her to be
like other people, teacher.
**[10:12] Anne**
And why is that?
**[10:14] Paul**
There are too many other
people around as it is.
**[10:17] Anne**
That's true. I'd like Miss Lavendar
to remain a free spirit.
**[10:22] Paul**
You know, teacher...
**[10:24] Anne**
Yes, Paul?
**[10:27] Paul**
No, it's nothing at all.
**[10:35] Anne**
Good day!
**[10:38] Lavendar**
Goodness!
**[10:43] Lavendar**
Anne, Diana, thank you so much for coming.
**[10:47] Lavendar**
And good day to you, Paul.
**[10:49] Paul**
Good day.
**[10:50] Paul**
Can we hear the echoes today?
**[10:53] Lavendar**
Yes, it's a fine day for echoes.
**[10:56] Lavendar**
Hello!
**[11:09] Charlotta**
It has all turned out so beautiful!
**[11:11] Charlotta**
I'm to go up to Boston and live
with Mr. Irving and Miss Lavendar.
**[11:15] Anne**
Will you really?!
**[11:18] Diana**
I'm so happy for you, Charlotta.
**[11:21] Charlotta**
Ain't Mr. Irving splendid?
**[11:24] Charlotta**
I'm awful thankful they're
so fond of each other.
**[11:28] Paul**
And I'm glad that I'll get
to live with Charlotta!
**[11:32] Charlotta**
Why, Master Paul, sir!
**[11:35] Anne**
Oh, it's all so romantic!
**[11:38] Anne**
If I hadn't taken the wrong path that day,
**[11:42] Anne**
and if I hadn't taken Paul
to meet Miss Lavendar...
**[11:46] Marilla**
So you want all the credit
for everything coming right?
**[11:52] Anne**
No, I was an instrument of predestination!
Everything is foreordained!
**[11:59] Anne**
Yes indeed, it's very romantic.
**[12:02] Marilla**
I can't see that it's so
terribly romantic at all.
**[12:07] Marilla**
Now, what are you going to do about college?
**[12:13] Anne**
I'll tell you once I've decided.
**[12:16] Anne**
Now, they're to be married the last Saturday
in June, under the honeysuckle trellis...
**[12:24] Anne**
the very spot where Mr. Irving proposed
to her twenty-five years ago!
**[12:29] Anne**
That *is* romantic, even in prose.
**[12:32] Marilla**
I still can't see it.
**[12:33] Anne**
Well, *I* can!
**[12:44] Anne**
* Miss Lavendar decided that she would*
* get married and go to the States.*
**[12:49] Anne**
*While, nearer to home...*
**[12:59] Anne**
*Diana and Fred are in love with each other.*
**[13:08] Anne**
* It's as if, somehow, Diana has*
* gone forward into a new world.*
**[13:14] Anne**
* Things are changing so fast,*
* it almost frightens me.*
**[13:19] Anne**
* And I'm afraid that this can't help*
* make some difference between Diana and me.*
**[13:25] Anne**
* It almost feels as though*
* she's left me behind.*
**[13:36] Diana**
Anne! Anne!
**[13:38] Diana**
Wake up, Anne!
**[13:41] Anne**
Diana?
**[13:46] Diana**
Listen, I... I have some news to tell you.
**[14:02] Diana**
I'm so happy, but it does seem ridiculous
to think of me being engaged.
**[14:09] Anne**
What is it really like?
**[14:11] Diana**
Well, it's perfectly lovely
to be engaged to Fred...
**[14:13] Diana**
but I think it would be simply horrid
to be engaged to anyone else.
**[14:18] Anne**
There's not much comfort
for the rest of us in that,
**[14:22] Anne**
seeing that there is only one Fred.
**[14:25] Diana**
Oh, Anne!
**[14:27] Diana**
Never mind, you'll understand sometime,
when your own turn comes.
**[14:30] Anne**
Bless you, dearest of Dianas,
I understand now.
**[14:34] Anne**
What else is an imagination for?
**[14:37] Diana**
But something frightens me a little as well.
**[14:40] Diana**
It will mean going forward, away from you.
**[14:44] Anne**
Going forward down the road
of life is a wonderful thing.
**[14:48] Anne**
Pick out your own way and stick to it!
**[14:52] Diana**
I'd like to say just the same to you.
**[14:59] Diana**
You must be my bridesmaid, you know, Anne.
**[15:02] Diana**
Wherever you may be when I'm married.
**[15:04] Anne**
I'll come from the ends
of the earth if necessary.
**[15:08] Diana**
I'll hold you to that!
**[15:10] Diana**
Of course, it won't be
for ever so long yet.
**[15:12] Diana**
Mother says no daughter of hers shall
be married before she's twenty-one.
**[15:17] Anne**
I think it's perfectly lovely of you to be
planning already for your home o' dreams.
**[15:22] Diana**
I suppose.
**[15:24] Anne**
A home o' dreams...
**[15:44] Diana**
What's wrong, Anne?!
**[15:46] Diana**
Are you hurt?!
**[15:47] Anne**
I-It was nothing.
**[15:49] Anne**
I only stepped into the wrong house.
**[15:51] Diana**
What? You can be so silly.
**[15:55] Diana**
I suppose, Anne, you must think it's funny.
**[15:58] Diana**
Fred is so different from the kind of
man I've always said I would marry.
**[16:01] Anne**
You did always imagine a man who
acts a little wicked, didn't you?
**[16:06] Diana**
Yes, but I wouldn't want
to make Fred that way,
**[16:11] Diana**
because, don't you see,
he wouldn't be Fred then.
**[16:17] Anne**
Well, I am glad Diana is
so happy and satisfied.
**[16:31] Diana**
It looks ready to pour at any moment.
**[16:33] Anne**
I only hope it will wait
until after the ceremony.
**[16:48] Anne**
She does look sweet.
**[16:49] Diana**
Lovely.
**[16:51] Mr. Allan**
...for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
**[16:57] Mr. Allan**
to love and to cherish,
until death do you part?
**[17:01] Lavendar**
I swear.
**[17:05] Mr. Allan**
Then, you may kiss the bride.
**[17:22] Anne**
What a lovely omen.
**[17:24] Gilbert**
As though God were giving them His blessing.
**[17:28] Paul**
Yes!
**[17:28] Diana**
Oh, I want my wedding to be just like this!
**[17:39] Anne**
Congratulations! Really and truly.
**[17:42] Lavendar**
Thank you, Anne!
**[18:01] Anne**
Wasn't that a lovely wedding?
**[18:04] Paul**
I'll go back with them to Boston, once
they get home from their honeymoon.
**[18:10] Anne**
Yes, you will, won't you?
**[18:11] Paul**
I can hardly wait to go,
but I will feel lonely leaving here.
**[18:16] Anne**
I know what you mean.
**[18:18] Anne**
I think I've come to a
bend in my road as well.
**[18:23] Anne**
But I don't know if I really
ought to go round it.
**[18:31] Paul**
If you have dreams, don't give up on them.
**[18:35] Paul**
I'm sure we will all miss you,
teacher, and cry when you're gone.
**[18:41] Paul**
But doesn't crying make you feel better?
**[18:44] Anne**
Paul...
**[18:45] Paul**
I'll do my level best to
get on in the States,
**[18:48] Paul**
so please, teacher,
stick to the road you believe in.
**[18:53] Paul**
That's what I'd like best!
**[18:57] Anne**
Paul!
**[19:07] Charlotta**
Thank you for all your help,
Miss Shirley, ma'am.
**[19:11] Anne**
And thank you, Charlotta.
**[19:13] Charlotta**
But oh, dear me,
**[19:15] Charlotta**
don't it look lonesome?
**[19:18] Anne**
It does that.
**[19:20] Charlotta**
Now, if you'll excuse me, ma'am.
**[19:22] Anne**
Take care.
**[19:23] Charlotta**
And you, ma'am.
**[19:29] Gilbert**
Have you made up your mind?
**[19:34] Anne**
Gilbert.
**[19:35] Gilbert**
Do you have a moment?
**[19:40] Gilbert**
What are you thinking of, Anne?
**[19:42] Anne**
Of so many things.
**[19:43] Anne**
Of Miss Lavendar and Mr. Irving, of course.
**[19:47] Anne**
Isn't it beautiful to think how
everything has turned out...
**[19:50] Anne**
how they have come together again
**[19:54] Anne**
after all the years of separation
and misunderstanding?
**[19:58] Gilbert**
Yes, it's beautiful,
**[20:00] Gilbert**
but wouldn't it have been
more beautiful still, Anne,
**[20:05] Gilbert**
if there had been no separation
or misunderstanding...
**[20:09] Gilbert**
if they had come hand in hand all the way
through life, with no memories behind them
**[20:13] Gilbert**
but those which belonged to each other?
**[20:32] Anne**
I've decided.
**[20:37] Anne**
These past two years,
**[20:38] Anne**
I've learned so many things with all of you,
**[20:42] Anne**
but you've taught me more
than I ever taught you.
**[20:45] Anne**
You've taught me lessons of
tenderness and innocent wisdom.
**[20:52] Anne**
Please live your lives
finely and graciously,
**[20:56] Anne**
holding fast to truth and
courtesy and kindness.
**[21:00] Anne**
Keep aloof from all that savors of
falsehood and meanness and vulgarity.
**[21:07] Anne**
Every one of you will be
always in my thoughts.
**[21:22] Anne**
*It was so very hard to say goodbye.*
**[21:34] (Flashback) Paul**
I'll *never* love any teacher
as much as you, Miss Shirley,
**[21:40] (Flashback) Paul**
never, never.
**[21:46] Anne**
*And now,*
**[21:48] Anne**
* I will close the page on my girlhood and*
* begin a new chapter as a grown woman.*
**[21:58] Anne**
*This fall, I set out for Redmond College.*

* It has been a summer of*

**[00:06] Anne**
*Miss Lavendar's wedding.*
**[00:09] Anne**
*Diana's engagement.*
**[00:12] Anne**
*And as for myself,*
**[00:14] Anne**
*I will be going to Redmond College.*
**[00:31] Anne**
It's from Priscilla Grant.
**[00:33] Anne**
She is going to Redmond, too.
**[00:36] Anne**
We're to board together.
**[00:39] Gilbert**
Is that so?
**[00:41] Anne**
I can face all the professors in one
fell phalanx with Priscilla by my side.
**[00:47] Gilbert**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[00:48] Gilbert**
I think we'll like Kingsport.
**[00:52] Gilbert**
It's a nice old burg, they tell me, and
has the finest natural park in the world.
**[00:57] Anne**
I can hardly wait.
**[00:59] Gilbert**
Neither can I.
**[01:01] Anne**
But will it be more beautiful than this?
**[01:06] Anne**
*Can* it be more beautiful than this?
**[01:10] Gilbert**
I wonder.
**[01:27] Gilbert**
You are very quiet, Anne.
**[01:31] Gilbert**
Anne?
**[01:32] Anne**
I'm afraid to speak or move for
fear all this wonderful beauty
**[01:37] Anne**
will vanish just like a broken silence.
**[01:46] Gilbert**
Anne...
**[01:50] Anne**
I must go home.
**[01:56] Anne**
* Our friendship will be spoiled if*
* he goes on with this nonsense.*
**[02:03] Davy**
My friend says his mother says you're
going to college to see if you can catch a man.
**[02:11] Davy**
Are you, Anne?
**[02:12] Anne**
No, I'm not.
**[02:14] Anne**
I'm going to study and grow
and learn about many things.
**[02:18] Davy**
But if you *did* want to catch a man,
how would you go about it?
**[02:24] Davy**
I want to know.
**[02:26] Anne**
It's time you went to bed, Davy-boy.

**[04:06] Fred**
Allow me to present tokens of
our respect to Anne and Gilbert
**[04:10] Fred**
as founders of the Avonlea
Village Improvement Society.
**[04:14] Josie; Jane; Ruby**
Best of luck.
**[04:16] Fred**
We will carry on the Society,
so pursue your studies without fear.
**[04:23] Fred**
Congratulations on going off to college.

Congratulations!
**[04:26] Josie; Moody**
Take care!

Good luck at Redmond.

Congratulations.
**[04:38] Gilbert**
Isn't it a fine night?
**[04:40] Gilbert**
It was nice of them to go through all
that trouble for us, don't you think?
**[04:45] Anne**
Yes, it was.
**[04:46] Anne**
What wonderful friends they are.
**[04:48] Gilbert**
Anne...
**[04:49] Gilbert**
I'm sorry I surprised you last night.
**[04:51] Gilbert**
If you don't mind,
I wanted to talk about our—
**[04:54] Anne**
Let's not!
**[04:55] Anne**
I don't want to hear that sort of talk now.
**[05:06] Ruby**
Gilbert! Won't you walk home with me?
**[05:08] Gilbert**
Oh, of course.
**[05:11] Gilbert**
I'd be happy to escort you.
**[05:13] Ruby**
Oh, good!
**[05:15] Charlie**
Shall I see you home, Anne?
**[05:19] Charlie**
It's getting late. We'd best get going.
**[05:22] Charlie**
Come on!
**[05:23] Anne**
R-Right.
**[05:27] Charlie**
Wasn't today a jolly good time?
**[05:29] Anne**
Yes, I suppose.
**[05:31] Charlie**
I hope we'll stay friends
once you go to Redmond.
**[05:34] Anne**
Yes, I suppose.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Anne**
I don't want to hear that sort of talk now.
**[05:41] Charlie**
What did they give you as a present?
**[05:44] Anne**
Yes, I suppose.
**[05:47] Marilla**
Yes?
**[05:49] Woman A**
Good morning, Marilla.
I've come to say goodbye to Anne.
**[05:53] Woman A**
I cannot for the life of me see what
a woman needs with so much education.
**[06:00] Woman A**
Is it too late to reconsider?
**[06:03] Anne**
Well...
**[06:07] Woman B**
Hello. Is Anne in?
**[06:10] Woman B**
It must cost an awful lot to
put in four years at Redmond.
**[06:14] Woman B**
That can't be easy on Marilla.
**[06:18] Anne**
No.
**[06:21] Woman C**
Where is Anne?
**[06:23] Woman C**
I can't help worrying
**[06:25] Woman C**
if you won't come back from Kingsport
**[06:28] Woman C**
thinking you know it all and looking down
on everything and everybody in Avonlea.
**[06:34] Woman C**
Don't misunderstand me.
**[06:36] Woman C**
It's your own good I'm thinking of.
**[06:46] Marilla**
What are you daydreaming for?
**[06:48] Marilla**
You leave tomorrow.
Will your things be packed in time?
**[06:52] Anne**
I'm packing them now.
**[06:56] Marilla**
Honestly.
**[06:58] (Flashback) Woman A**
I cannot for the life of me see what
a woman needs with so much education.
**[07:15] Anne**
They let me see they thought I was crazy
**[07:19] Anne**
going to Redmond and trying to take a B.A.,
**[07:24] Anne**
and ever since,
I've been wondering if I am.
**[07:30] Gilbert**
You surely don't care for what they said.
**[07:32] Gilbert**
You know exactly how narrow
their outlook on life is,
**[07:36] Gilbert**
excellent creatures though they are.
**[07:38] Anne**
Oh, I know.
**[07:42] Gilbert**
You are the first Avonlea girl
who has ever gone to college;
**[07:46] Gilbert**
and you know that all pioneers
have their struggles.
**[07:53] Gilbert**
Come, forget it all and take a walk with me.
**[07:58] Gilbert**
There's something I want to show you.
**[08:23] Gilbert**
Ah, here it is!
**[08:36] Anne**
An apple tree!
**[08:38] Anne**
And away back here!
**[08:40] Gilbert**
I was here one day last spring and
found it, all white with blossom.
**[08:45] Gilbert**
So I resolved I'd come again in the
fall and see if it had been apples.
**[08:49] Anne**
I suppose it sprang years ago
from some chance-sown seed.
**[08:54] Anne**
And how it has grown and flourished and
held its own here all alone among aliens,
**[08:58] Anne**
the brave determined thing!
**[09:02] Gilbert**
Here's a fallen tree with a cushion of moss.
It will serve for a woodland throne.
**[09:07] Gilbert**
Sit down, Anne.
**[09:16] Gilbert**
Delicious!
**[09:17] Anne**
The fatal apple of Eden couldn't
have had a rarer flavor.
**[09:25] Gilbert**
That may be the best apple I've ever eaten.
**[09:29] Gilbert**
Do you feel better now?
**[09:31] Anne**
Yes.
**[09:33] Anne**
Those apples have been as
manna to a hungry soul.
**[09:39] Anne**
I feel that I shall love Redmond and
have a splendid four years there.
**[09:47] Gilbert**
And after those four years—what?
**[09:52] Anne**
Oh, there's another bend
in the road at their end.
**[09:56] Anne**
I've no idea what may be around it—
I don't want to have.
**[10:02] Anne**
It's nicer not to know.
**[10:15] Anne**
* If Gilbert were always*
* as he has been this evening,*
**[10:18] Anne**
* how nice and simple*
* everything would be.*
**[10:22] Gilbert**
* I wonder if I can ever*
* make her care for me.*
**[10:37] Lynde**
Be careful of your health,
whatever you do.
**[10:41] Anne**
Thank you, Mrs. Lynde.
And the same to you.
**[10:45] Marilla**
I suppose we'll hear from you
once you've got settled?
**[10:50] Anne**
I'll write at once.
**[10:53] Anne**
Dora.
**[10:54] Dora**
When will we see you again, Anne?
**[10:57] Anne**
I'll come home for Christmas.
**[11:00] Dora**
You must.
**[11:01] Anne**
Play nice with Davy.
**[11:03] Dora**
I will.
**[11:15] Anne**
Let me give you a
kiss goodbye, Davy-boy.
**[11:19] Davy**
Uh-uh.
**[11:20] Anne**
Davy...
**[12:16] Anne**
So that is Kingsport!
**[12:32] Anne**
Well then, we'll all meet
at Redmond tomorrow.
**[12:35] Gilbert**
Take a good night's rest.
**[12:37] Charlie**
Good night.
**[12:38] Anne**
Good night to you both.
**[12:42] Priscilla**
Anne!
**[12:47] Anne**
Prissy!
**[12:51] Priscilla**
Welcome to Kingsport!
**[12:53] Priscilla**
I suppose you must be tired.
**[12:55] Anne**
Tired! Priscilla, don't speak of it.
**[12:58] Priscilla**
Then I'll show you around
the boardinghouse.
**[13:00] Anne**
Yes.
**[13:01] Priscilla**
And introduce you to our landladies.
**[13:03] Anne**
Lad*ies?*
**[13:04] Hannah**
Please, come in.
**[13:07] Ada**
We've been expecting you.
**[13:09] Anne**
*I can't get away from twins, it seems.*
**[13:14] Priscilla**
Your room is a front one and looks
out on Old St. John's graveyard.
**[13:19] Anne**
A graveyard?
**[13:20] Anne**
That sounds gruesome.
**[13:23] Priscilla**
Oh, no, it isn't.
**[13:25] Priscilla**
It has "scope for imagination,"
as you always say.
**[13:33] Anne**
* I suppose that very moon is looking*
* down on Green Gables now.*
**[13:37] Anne**
* But I won't think about it.*
* I'm not even going to have my good cry.*
**[13:42] Anne**
* Just now, I'll go calmly and*
* sensibly to bed and to sleep.*
**[13:53] Priscilla**
Everybody is so fast and so lively.
**[13:59] Anne**
Oh, Prissy, I feel as insignificant as the
teeniest drop in a most enormous bucket.
**[14:07] Priscilla**
Wait a while.
**[14:10] Priscilla**
Then we'll be able to look as bored
and sophisticated as any of them.
**[14:16] Gilbert**
Anne!
**[14:17] Priscilla**
Why, Gilbert, it's been ages!
**[14:20] Gilbert**
Priscilla! I'm glad we'll
be classmates again.
**[14:22] Priscilla**
Not as glad as I am.
**[14:23] Gilbert**
How is your boardinghouse?
**[14:25] Anne**
Delightful.
**[14:26] Priscilla**
We're on our way to register as students.
**[14:29] Priscilla**
But I see you've already done that.
**[14:31] Gilbert**
Yes.
**[14:32] Priscilla**
In that case—
**[14:33] Male Student**
Hey!
**[14:34] Male Student**
Gilbert! Over here!
**[14:37] Gilbert**
I'll be right there!
**[14:38] Gilbert**
I'm going to eat with some
people in our year I met.
**[14:42] Gilbert**
I'll see you later.
**[14:44] Priscilla**
I see *he's* already made friends.
**[14:47] Priscilla**
He's like a duck to water.
**[14:49] Priscilla**
But how he has grown up this past year.
**[14:53] Anne**
What? Has he?
**[14:55] Priscilla**
Don't you think he's handsomer than ever?
**[15:01] Anne**
Come on, we'd better register!
**[15:03] Anne**
Hurry up!
**[15:04] Priscilla**
Not so fast!
**[15:13] Anne**
* A new school, and new people*
* in the years above me.*
**[15:17] Anne**
*I'm glad to have Priscilla with me,*
**[15:20] Anne**
*but will we find a place of our own here?*
**[15:32] Priscilla**
Is she new here, too, do you
think? She's awfully citified.
**[15:37] Anne**
And awfully pretty.
**[15:57] Priscilla**
Tell me, do you think
we'll ever get on in this town?
**[16:01] Anne**
I don't know.
**[16:03] Anne**
But I'm thankful that none of the Avonlea
ladies know my state of mind at present.
**[16:09] Anne**
They would exult in saying,
"I told you so."
**[16:15] Priscilla**
That sounds more Anneish.
**[16:19] Anne**
In a little while, we'll be acclimated
and acquainted, and all will be well.
**[16:25] Priscilla**
I certainly hope so.
**[16:28] Anne**
Now, there's a place
I'd like to go after lunch.
**[16:32] Priscilla**
Where?
**[16:33] Anne**
A place with "scope for imagination."
**[16:39] Anne**
It's everything you said it was.
**[16:41] Anne**
There are so many trees here, I can
imagine I'm in the Avonlea woods.
**[16:54] Anne**
"Here lieth the body of
Albert Crawford, Esq.,"
**[16:58] Anne**
"for many years Keeper of His
Majesty's Ordnance at Kingsport."
**[17:03] Anne**
"He was a brave officer,
the best of husbands,"
**[17:05] Anne**
"the best of fathers, the best of friends."
**[17:08] Anne**
There's an epitaph for you.
**[17:10] Priscilla**
Yes, it is.
**[17:12] Anne**
How full such a life must
have been of adventure!
**[17:17] Anne**
What a wonder old graveyards are.
**[17:19] Anne**
I shall come here often.
**[17:29] Priscilla**
It's the very girl we saw
at Redmond this morning.
**[17:32] Anne**
Yes, it is.
**[17:38] Anne**
Good day.
**[17:39] Anne**
We wondered if we might—
**[17:40] Philippa**
Oh, I want to know who you two girls are!
I've been *dying* to know.
**[17:44] Philippa**
I saw you at Redmond this morning.
**[17:46] Philippa**
Say, wasn't it *awful* there?
**[17:49] Philippa**
For the time, I wished I had
stayed home and got married!
**[17:54] Anne**
Married?
**[17:55] Priscilla**
What a way to put it.
**[17:57] Philippa**
Come, let's all sit down on this
gravestone and get acquainted.
**[18:03] Philippa**
I know we're going to adore each other.
**[18:05] Philippa**
I knew it as soon as I saw
you at Redmond this morning.
**[18:09] Philippa**
I wanted so much to go right
over and hug you both.
**[18:11] Priscilla**
Why didn't you?
**[18:14] Philippa**
Because I never can make up my
mind about anything myself.
**[18:17] Philippa**
Philippa Gordon simply—
**[18:19] Philippa**
Oh, do call me Phil.
**[18:21] Philippa**
Now, what are your handles?
**[18:23] Anne**
She's Priscilla Grant.
**[18:25] Priscilla**
Call me Prissy.
**[18:27] Priscilla**
And *she's* Anne Shirley.
**[18:29] Anne**
And we're from the Island.
**[18:32] Philippa**
I hail from Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia.
**[18:35] Anne**
Bolingbroke! Why, that is
where I was born.
**[18:38] Philippa**
Why, that makes you a
Bluenose after all.
**[18:42] Anne**
No, it doesn't. I'm Island to the core.
**[18:46] Philippa**
Well, I'm glad, anyway.
**[18:47] Anne**
No, I'm—
**[18:48] Philippa**
It makes us kind of neighbors, doesn't it?
**[18:51] Philippa**
Tell me, what do you think of my looks?
**[18:54] Anne**
What?
**[18:54] Philippa**
I want your honest opinion!
**[18:59] Anne**
We thought this morning that you were
the prettiest girl we saw at Redmond.
**[19:06] Philippa**
I thought that myself,
**[19:09] Philippa**
but I wanted someone else's
opinion to bolster mine up.
**[19:14] Philippa**
I can't decide even on my own appearance.
**[19:19] Priscilla**
I don't know how you managed to make up
your mind to come to Redmond at all.
**[19:23] Philippa**
It was father who wanted me to come here.
**[19:24] Philippa**
I knew if I stayed home, I'd have
to get married. Mother wanted that.
**[19:27] Philippa**
And how could I ever have made
up my mind which man to marry?
**[19:34] Anne**
Were there so many?
**[19:36] Philippa**
Heaps.
**[19:38] Philippa**
The boys like me awfully—they really do.
**[19:41] Philippa**
But most were too young and too poor.
**[19:45] Philippa**
I must marry a rich man, you know.
**[19:48] Anne**
Why must you?
**[19:49] Philippa**
I am *very* extravagant.
**[19:51] Philippa**
So that narrowed it down to Alec and Alonzo.
**[19:55] Philippa**
The trouble was...
**[19:55] Anne**
You couldn't decide between the two of them?
**[19:58] Philippa**
That's just it!
**[19:59] Anne**
Didn't you—love—either of them?
**[20:04] Philippa**
Goodness, no!
**[20:05] Philippa**
I couldn't *love* anybody.
**[20:09] Philippa**
Being in love makes you a
perfect slave, I think.
**[20:15] Philippa**
I haven't quite disgusted you
with my frivolity, have I?
**[20:22] Philippa**
Isn't this graveyard a sweet place?
I'd love to be buried here.
**[20:28] Philippa**
Oh, girls, look, see.
**[20:31] Philippa**
It's the grave of a middy who was killed
**[20:34] Philippa**
in the fight between the
*Shannon* and the *Chesapeake*.
**[20:38] Philippa**
You know, the sea battle in 1813.
**[20:56] Priscilla**
What is it, Anne?
**[20:58] Priscilla**
Anne?
**[21:09] Philippa**
*Anne Shirley.*
**[21:15] Philippa**
*Come back!*
**[21:17] Philippa**
Anne Shirley!
**[21:20] Philippa**
Are you all right?
**[21:21] Philippa**
You were a hundred years
away from us just now.
**[21:30] Priscilla**
Well, what do you think of our new friend?
**[21:34] Anne**
That's a good question.
**[21:36] Anne**
I like her. There is something
very lovable about her.
**[21:40] Priscilla**
I like her, too. I'll be
glad to see more of her.
**[21:43] Anne**
Yes!
**[21:44] Anne**
* I believe I've put forth a tiny soul-root*
* into Kingsport soil this afternoon.*
**[21:50] Anne**
* I've made a new friend and learned*
* something of local history.*
**[21:55] Anne**
* So I'll stop feeling frightened*
* that there's no place for me here.*
**[22:00] Anne**
*After all, I came by my own choice.*

**[00:03] Anne**
*I've been at Redmond three weeks now.*
**[00:04] Philippa**
What a pleasant morning.
**[00:05] Philippa**
If feels as though it's blessing our futures.
**[00:06] Anne**
* Philippa and I became friends*
* almost as soon as we'd met.*
**[00:09] Anne**
Why, I was just thinking
that exact same thing.
**[00:09] Anne**
* Despite my misgivings,*
* my school life fell into focus.*
**[00:13] Priscilla**
I'm amazed.
**[00:14] Priscilla**
What if you were friends
before you were born?
**[00:16] Philippa**
Perhaps we have been.
**[00:17] Male Student A**
Hey, they say that Philippa's
the daughter of a rich man.
**[00:21] Male Student B**
Pretty, smart, and a good family, too?
**[00:24] Male Student C**
I'd sure like to get to know *her*.
**[00:32] Anne**
Alec and Alonzo don't seem to
have any serious rival yet.
**[00:38] Priscilla**
What do you mean?
**[00:39] Anne**
Phil said she writes them both every
week about her worshipers here.
**[00:45] Philippa**
They must be beside themselves.
**[00:48] Philippa**
But, of course, the one
I like best I can't get.
**[00:53] Anne**
Who?!
**[00:54] Philippa**
Gilbert Blythe
**[00:56] Philippa**
won't take any notice of me, except to look
at me as if I were a nice little kitten.
**[00:59] Philippa**
Too well I know the reason.
**[01:02] Philippa**
Anne Shirley?!
**[01:03] Anne**
Listen here, Phil.
**[01:05] Anne**
There's nothing at all
between Gilbert and me.
**[01:08] Philippa**
I know *that*, but I still owe you a grudge.
**[01:13] Philippa**
I really ought to hate you
**[01:17] Philippa**
and instead I love you madly,
**[01:20] Philippa**
Queen Anne.
**[01:21] Philippa**
And you, too, Prissy.
**[01:24] Priscilla**
Thanks, Phil.
**[01:25] Philippa**
And what about you two?
**[01:27] Philippa**
Please tell me over again that
you like me a little bit.
**[01:30] Anne**
Yes, of course!
**[01:32] Anne**
I like you a big bit, Phil.
**[01:34] Anne**
You're a dear, sweet, adorable... kitten.

That Transforms Everything
**[03:17] Anne**
Isn't it heavy?
**[03:19] Gilbert**
Not a bit.
**[03:21] Anne**
Honestly, that Philippa.
**[03:23] Gilbert**
I don't mind. It's good exercise.
**[03:25] Anne**
When you think of it like that,
being a porter doesn't sound so bad.
**[03:28] Philippa**
Well, this is where I leave you.
**[03:31] Anne**
What? Why?
**[03:32] Philippa**
I need to make a stop. Thank you, Gilbert.
**[03:36] Gilbert**
You're welcome.
**[03:37] Philippa**
Goodbye, Anne. I'll see you tomorrow.
**[03:41] Anne**
S-See you.
**[03:43] Gilbert**
Isn't she a marvel?
**[03:45] Gilbert**
She holds her own in every class she takes.
**[03:48] Anne**
Yes. When she finds time
to study is a mystery.
**[03:53] Gilbert**
I hear you're top of your year
in English literature yourself.
**[03:57] Anne**
If I am,
**[03:58] Anne**
it must be because I was so desperate
to compete with *someone* in Avonlea.
**[04:02] Anne**
I hear *you* have been elected
president of the freshman class.
**[04:05] Gilbert**
Only because everybody put my name forward.
**[04:08] Anne**
A position of honor and responsibility.
**[04:10] Gilbert**
Anyway, I got asked to join
a fraternity, the "Lambs,"
**[04:15] Gilbert**
only there was a bit of
an initiation ordeal.
**[04:18] Anne**
What kind of "ordeal"?
**[04:20] Gilbert**
I had to parade the business streets
in broad daylight, wearing...
**[04:31] Anne**
You should have told me!
I would have gone to see you.
**[04:34] Gilbert**
I had to keep it up all day long!
**[04:36] Anne**
And did any gentlemen try to court you?
**[04:38] Gilbert**
If only!
**[04:44] Anne**
My happiest moments now are those
in which letters come from home.
**[04:49] Anne**
I particularly enjoyed Mrs. Lynde's.
**[04:52] Minister**
Why, yesterday I ate so much,
my belly puffed up big as anything.
**[04:52] Lynde**
* It makes me mad, such hopeless*
* candidates as they have sent us*
**[04:55] Minister**
But then, it's not the first time
I ate more than was good for me.
**[04:56] Lynde**
*to fill the vacancy in the Avonlea church.*
**[04:58] Minister**
What am I going to do with myself?
**[05:00] Lynde**
*And such nonsense as they preach!*
**[05:00] Minister**
And now talking about it
has me feeling peckish again.
**[05:02] Minister**
Can anybody here spare a bite to eat?
**[05:03] Lynde**
* Worst of all, this one goes on about*
* things you'll never find in Holy Writ.*
**[05:04] Minister**
Only my little joke, of course.
**[05:05] Minister**
But really, I am famished.
**[05:09] Minister**
Next week, I'll tell you
about the axe-head that swam.
**[05:13] Lynde**
*But it seems everybody has
*something *to recommend him.*
**[05:16] Lynde**
* One day, that old pig of Mr. Harrison's*
* wandered into the church.*
**[05:26] Lynde**
*The poor pig was near scared to death.*
**[05:33] Lynde**
* I've never seen another minister hang on*
* to a pig's back as well as that one.*
**[05:40] Lynde**
*I wish you could have seen it!*
**[05:43] Gilbert**
I hate to laugh, but I can't help it.
**[05:46] Anne**
Davy wrote me a charming letter, too.
**[05:49] Davy**
* Its awful lonesome here without*
* you but grate fun in school.*
**[05:58] Davy**
*Jane andrews is crosser than you.*
**[06:01] Davy**
* I showed mrs. lynde a jacky*
* lantern I made last nite.*
**[06:08] Marilla**
Davy Keith, how many
times must I tell you?!
**[06:08] Davy**
*Marilla was offel mad about it.*
**[06:10] Davy**
*Why was she mad? It was a good lantern.*
**[06:11] Marilla**
Are you listening to me?!
**[06:12] Marilla**
Go to your room and stay there!
**[06:14] Davy**
*I herd mrs. lynde asking the minister...*
**[06:17] Lynde**
Say a prayer for me.
**[06:20] Davy**
*What did she do that was so bad, anne,*
**[06:24] Davy**
*I want to know.*
**[06:26] Gilbert**
I'd like to know that myself.
**[06:28] Anne**
Marilla's letter gives me
a whiff of Green Gables.
**[06:33] Gilbert**
Yes?
**[06:34] Anne**
Diana's is nothing but Fred.
**[06:36] Gilbert**
You can't fault her for that.
**[06:39] Anne**
*And Ruby's...*
**[06:41] Ruby**
* You all seem to be enjoying Redmond,*
* judging from Gilbert's letters.*
**[06:47] (Flashback) Anne**
Gilbert? Gilbert is writing to Ruby?
**[06:52] Anne**
* Of course I don't mind.*
* He has a perfect right to.*
**[06:57] Gilbert**
Anne?
**[07:00] Anne**
O-Oh, Ruby wrote that she
misses me horribly.
**[07:06] Gilbert**
That sounds just like her.
**[07:08] Gilbert**
I'm glad to hear they're all well.
**[07:11] Anne**
So am I.
**[07:12] Anne**
Avonlea is on the other side of this sea.
**[07:15] Gilbert**
It is far, but letters keep us tied to it.
**[07:20] Anne**
* Letters may not be the only thing that*
* allows me to feel close to Avonlea.*
**[07:28] Anne**
But really,
**[07:29] Anne**
a pig running off with a
minister on his back?
**[07:37] Anne**
Come in.
**[07:39] Priscilla**
Oh, you're just in the nick of time.
**[07:41] Anne**
We are going for a walk in the park.
**[07:44] Priscilla**
Gilbert and Charlie, too.
**[07:46] Priscilla**
How would you like to join us?
**[07:48] Philippa**
Two couples and me playing gooseberry?
**[07:53] Anne**
Not at all.
**[07:55] Philippa**
Very well. That will be a new
experience for Philippa Gordon.
**[07:59] Priscilla**
Is something the matter?
**[08:01] Philippa**
I got letters from Alec and Alonzo this
morning, and they're both furious.
**[08:07] Philippa**
It seems I sent a letter to Alec in
an envelope addressed to Alonzo,
**[08:11] Philippa**
and a letter to Alonzo in an
envelope addressed to Alec.
**[08:16] Priscilla**
Goodness!
**[08:17] Philippa**
Of course they'll get over it,
and I don't care if they don't,
**[08:23] Philippa**
but I thought I'd come to you
darlings to get cheered up.
**[08:30] Anne**
All the more reason you should join us!
**[08:32] Priscilla**
Yes! It will take your mind
off the whole thing.
**[08:35] Philippa**
Yes, I think I will.
**[08:38] Philippa**
But Anne, why *does* your Gilbert go around
so much with a goose like Charlie?
**[08:44] Anne**
Charlie and Gilbert have
always been friends.
**[08:48] Anne**
Don't call him names.
**[08:57] Anne**
What a fog we have today.
**[08:59] Charlie**
The warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador
Current run into each other near here.
**[09:05] Charlie**
Icebergs even float in now and then.
**[09:07] Anne**
My!
**[09:09] Charlie**
You know the highlands in the
center of the Peninsula?
**[09:10] Philippa**
Aren't they perfect together?
**[09:12] Charlie**
The Labrador Current brings cold winds
that stop trees growing there,
**[09:13] Priscilla**
Oh, I know.
**[09:14] Philippa**
So what's the problem?
**[09:15] Priscilla**
Anne says she's had her heart set
on someone since she was a girl.
**[09:16] Charlie**
so they're covered in meadows.
**[09:19] Philippa**
Are they engaged?
**[09:21] Priscilla**
It's not quite like that.
**[09:23] Priscilla**
She hasn't even found him yet.
**[09:26] Philippa**
Oh?
**[09:34] Priscilla**
Where is our boardinghouse?
**[09:36] Anne**
That's Redmond College, so...
**[09:39] Anne**
It must be around there!
**[09:41] Gilbert**
I know.
**[09:42] Gilbert**
Let's go home around by Spofford Avenue.
**[09:45] Gilbert**
We can see all "the handsome houses
where the wealthy nobles dwell."
**[09:49] Charlie**
I'd like that.
**[09:50] Philippa**
Then there's a perfectly killing
little place I want to show you.
**[09:54] Philippa**
It wasn't built—it grew!
**[10:05] Anne**
How much would one have to work
to live in houses like these?
**[10:09] Anne**
Where is the place you
wanted to show me, Phil?
**[10:13] Philippa**
Just ahead.
**[10:17] Priscilla**
Oh, my!
**[10:18] Anne**
It's the dearest place I ever saw!
**[10:20] Anne**
It's dearer and quainter than even
Miss Lavendar's stone house.
**[10:23] Philippa**
It has a killing name, too,
**[10:25] Philippa**
especially on this avenue of
grand-sounding Cedarcrofts and suchlike.
**[10:30] Philippa**
"Patty's Place."
**[10:32] Anne**
Patty's Place!
**[10:34] Gilbert**
Do you have any idea who lives there?
**[10:37] Philippa**
Old Patty Spofford lives
there with her niece.
**[10:41] Gilbert**
"Spofford"?
**[10:42] Philippa**
Yes. I've made a thorough study.
**[10:45] Philippa**
It was the very first house built
here a hundred years ago.
**[10:49] Charlie**
A hundred years? That can't be right.
**[10:51] Philippa**
Well, maybe a little less.
**[10:54] Philippa**
Exaggeration is merely a flight
of poetic fancy, Charlie.
**[10:59] Gilbert**
This house is a piece of
local history, then.
**[11:02] Philippa**
Yes. Wealthy folk have tried to
buy the lot time and again,
**[11:05] Philippa**
but "Patty" won't sell
upon any consideration.
**[11:08] Priscilla**
Look, Anne. An apple orchard.
**[11:11] Anne**
Goodness!
**[11:12] Anne**
A real apple orchard on Spofford Avenue!
**[11:16] Anne**
I'm going to dream about
"Patty's Place" tonight.
**[11:19] Anne**
I wonder if, by any chance,
we'll ever see the inside of it.
**[11:22] Priscilla**
It isn't likely.
**[11:24] Anne**
No, it isn't likely.
**[11:27] Anne**
But I have a queer, creepy, crawly feeling—
you can call it a presentiment—
**[11:31] Anne**
that "Patty's Place" and I are going
to be better acquainted yet.
**[11:44] Priscilla**
We made it through exams somehow.
**[11:47] Priscilla**
Tomorrow, the Christmas
holidays start at last.
**[11:50] Anne**
I can't really believe that this time
tomorrow, I'll be in Green Gables.
**[11:56] Priscilla**
None of us have been home in an age.
**[11:58] Priscilla**
And you, Phil, will be
with Alec and Alonzo.
**[12:01] Philippa**
Yes. They're longing to see me back again.
**[12:05] Philippa**
There's to be no end of dances and
drives and general jamborees.
**[12:13] Philippa**
Anne,
**[12:14] Philippa**
I shall never forgive you for not coming
home with me for the holidays.
**[12:19] Anne**
I'd love to go to Bolingbroke some day.
**[12:22] Philippa**
Why, then—
**[12:23] Anne**
But I can't go this year—I *must* go home.
**[12:26] Anne**
You don't know how
my heart longs for it, Phil.
**[12:32] Philippa**
All the old gossips will talk you over
to your face and behind your back.
**[12:38] Philippa**
You'll die of lonesomeness, child.
**[12:40] Anne**
In Avonlea?
**[12:43] Philippa**
If you're going to be with
Gilbert, I could understand it.
**[12:45] Anne**
I'm sorry to say I've no plans
to spend Christmas with him.
**[12:50] Philippa**
Then *do* come with me.
**[12:53] Philippa**
Bolingbroke would go wild over you—
your hair and your style and, oh, everything!
**[13:01] Anne**
Your picture of social triumphs
is quite fascinating, Phil.
**[13:06] Philippa**
Isn't it just?
**[13:07] Anne**
But I'll paint one to offset it.
**[13:11] Anne**
I'm going home to an old country farmhouse,
**[13:16] Anne**
once green, rather faded now.
**[13:21] Anne**
There is a brook below and a pond nearby
that will be gray and brooding now.
**[13:29] Anne**
There will be two oldish
ladies in the house;
**[13:32] Anne**
and there will be two twins, one a perfect
model, the other a "holy terror."
**[13:39] Anne**
There will be a little room upstairs over
the porch, where old dreams hang thick.
**[13:46] Anne**
How do you like my picture, Phil?
**[13:49] Philippa**
It seems a very dull one.
**[13:53] Anne**
Oh, but I've left out the
transforming thing.
**[13:59] Anne**
The power that transforms everything.
**[14:05] Anne**
A power called "love."
**[14:12] Philippa**
Oh, Anne, I wish I was like you!
**[14:30] Dora**
What are you doing, Davy?
**[14:33] Davy; Dora**
Anne!
**[14:35] Anne**
Davy! Dora!
**[14:39] Davy**
It's good to see you again, Anne!
**[14:41] Dora**
Welcome home.
**[14:42] Davy**
Look. Isn't that a bully bonfire?
**[14:46] Davy**
I did it for you, Anne, 'cause
I was so glad you were coming home.
**[14:49] Marilla**
Welcome home, Anne.
**[14:51] Anne**
What did you ask the minister for?
**[14:55] Davy**
I put it in my letter.
**[14:57] Lynde**
Davy! Have you been spying?
**[15:07] Lynde**
Has Diana gone home?
**[15:10] Anne**
Yes.
**[15:10] Marilla**
I suppose you girls talked all night
and got hardly a wink of sleep.
**[15:15] Anne**
Yes.
**[15:16] Anne**
We had so much to tell each other,
**[15:19] Anne**
just like we did when we first met.
**[15:21] Anne**
And Jane is going to stay the night.
**[15:25] Anne**
I've had a letter from her.
**[15:27] Anne**
She says she wants my opinion on something.
**[15:30] Marilla**
Oh, honestly.
**[15:32] Lynde**
Where's the harm?
**[15:34] Lynde**
They won't be so free to
come and go much longer.
**[15:37] Lynde**
Even Ruby Gillis has gotten
engaged, they say.
**[15:40] Anne**
Has she really?
**[15:42] Lynde**
What, haven't you heard?
**[15:44] Lynde**
Rumor has it the man is the
Spencervale schoolteacher.
**[15:48] Anne**
I see.
**[15:49] Lynde**
Isn't that nice?
**[15:49] Anne**
*Diana didn't say a thing.*
**[15:52] Anne**
* Maybe Jane is engaged, too.*
* Is that what she's coming to talk about?*
**[15:57] Anne**
* If so, I'll soon be the only fancy-free*
* maiden of our old quartet.*
**[16:04] Anne**
Just the sort of night people like to
cuddle down between their blankets
**[16:09] Anne**
and count their mercies!
**[16:11] Jane**
Anne.
**[16:14] Jane**
I want to tell you something. May I?
**[16:17] Anne**
*Really, Jane. You could at
least* try *to look happy.*
**[16:22] Anne**
Of course.
**[16:23] Jane**
What do you think of my brother?
**[16:28] Anne**
Come again?
**[16:30] Jane**
What do you think of Billy?
**[16:33] Anne**
What do you mean, exactly?
**[16:40] Jane**
Do you like Billy?
**[16:42] Anne**
Why—why—yes, I like him, of course.
**[16:45] Jane**
Would you like him for a husband?
**[16:49] Anne**
*Whose* husband?
**[16:50] Jane**
Yours, of course!
**[16:53] Anne**
What?!
**[16:55] Jane**
Billy wants to marry you!
**[16:57] Jane**
He's always been crazy about you!
**[17:01] Jane**
But he's so shy he couldn't ask
you himself if you'd have him,
**[17:06] Jane**
so he got me to do it. I'd rather not have.
**[17:10] Anne**
I... I'm sorry, Jane.
I couldn't marry Billy!
**[17:15] Anne**
Why, such an idea never
occurred to me—never!
**[17:20] Jane**
I don't suppose it did.
**[17:22] Jane**
But Billy is a good fellow.
**[17:24] Jane**
He's a great worker, he's gentle,
and he'd be very good to you.
**[17:30] Anne**
Jane!
**[17:31] Anne**
I appreciate the thought, Jane, but I don't
care anything for Billy in that way.
**[17:38] Jane**
Well, I didn't suppose you would.
**[17:41] Jane**
I told Billy I didn't believe it was a
bit of use to ask you, but he insisted.
**[18:02] Anne**
I hope Billy won't feel very badly over it.
**[18:06] Jane**
Oh, he won't break his heart.
**[18:08] Jane**
He likes Nettie Blewett pretty well, too,
**[18:13] Jane**
and mother would rather he
married her than anyone.
**[18:18] Jane**
She's such a good cook, and her
people are so respectable.
**[18:23] Anne**
Yes. I hope it all works out for them.
**[18:27] Jane**
Please don't mention what
I said last night.
**[18:30] Anne**
I won't.
**[18:33] Anne**
Was there ever anything so ridiculous?
**[18:36] Anne**
How was that for the first
proposal I ever received?
**[18:41] Anne**
I thought it would happen someday,
but I never dreamed it would be secondhand.
**[18:47] Anne**
My...
**[18:49] Anne**
My ideal is
**[18:50] Anne**
* dark-eyed and distinguished-looking,*
* and he would...*
**[18:56] Ideal Man**
I swear to defend you for
so long as I shall live.
**[18:59] Ideal Man**
Please, permit me to make your kindness,
wit, and beauty mine alone!
**[19:06] Anne**
I will!
**[19:08] Anne**
*Or else...*
**[19:09] Ideal Man**
I cannot conceive of life without you.
**[19:12] Ideal Man**
I promise to make you happy.
**[19:15] Ideal Man**
Won't you live your life with me?
**[19:17] Anne**
Forgive me!
**[19:21] Ideal Man**
Then at least give me leave to
go on adoring you from afar.
**[19:27] Anne**
Of course.
**[19:36] Anne**
I suppose there's no getting round it.
**[19:40] Anne**
Life is one long series
of bends in the road.
**[19:44] Anne**
Little dreams break,
**[19:48] Anne**
and people change.
**[19:50] Anne**
Even Jane and Ruby and Diana.
**[19:54] Gilbert**
Hey!
**[20:01] Anne**
What are you doing out so early?
**[20:06] Gilbert**
The snow looked so lovely,
I thought I'd ask you to walk with me.
**[20:10] Gilbert**
And you?
**[20:12] Anne**
Oh, nothing really.
**[20:14] Anne**
But this snowy landscape is breathtaking.
**[20:17] Gilbert**
Yes.
**[20:18] Anne**
I think, if ever any great
sorrow came to me,
**[20:22] Anne**
I would think of this sight for comfort.
**[20:26] Gilbert**
I hope no great sorrow
ever will come to you.
**[20:31] Anne**
But there must—sometime.
**[20:35] Anne**
There have, and there will.
**[20:37] Anne**
I know. Won't you come by the house?
**[20:40] Anne**
You haven't seen Marilla or
Mrs. Lynde in ages, have you?
**[20:43] Gilbert**
No, I haven't.
**[20:45] Anne**
Davy and Dora will be delighted.
**[20:49] Gilbert**
Anne!
**[20:50] Gilbert**
Wait!
**[20:52] Gilbert**
Your bootlace.
**[20:55] Anne**
So I've avoided one small sorrow.
**[21:00] Anne**
Thank you.
**[21:01] Gilbert**
If I had my way...
**[21:04] Gilbert**
I'd shut everything out of your
life but happiness and pleasure.
**[21:16] Anne**
Gilbert.
**[21:18] Anne**
You would be very unwise.
**[21:24] Anne**
No life can be properly developed and
rounded out without some trial and sorrow—
**[21:30] Anne**
though I suppose it is only when we are
pretty comfortable that we admit it.
**[21:42] Anne**
Come! What are we waiting for?
**[21:56] Charlie**
I can't go on deceiving myself!
**[21:59] Charlie**
Wait for me,
**[22:00] Charlie**
Anne Shirley!

**[00:01] Anne**
* To borrow Philippa's phrase,*
* the second term at Redmond...*
**[00:04] Philippa**
actually whizzed away
**[00:05] Anne**
*...in no time at all.*
**[00:09] Anne**
*I have turned nineteen,*
**[00:11] Anne**
* and I am studying furiously*
* for a tricky exam.*
**[00:15] Anne**
*My boardinghouse is generally pleasant,*
**[00:18] Anne**
*but on days when I come home late...*
**[00:25] Anne**
*I sometimes fear that the many cushions*
**[00:27] Anne**
* the landladies make will*
* be the death of me.*
**[00:30] Anne**
* I've been getting on fine*
* with Gilbert as well.*
**[00:33] Gilbert**
What do you think of your chances?
**[00:34] Anne**
I'm determined to win it come what may.
**[00:37] Anne**
With the Thornburn Scholarship,
**[00:40] Anne**
I could come back to Redmond next year
without trenching on Marilla's savings.
**[00:45] Gilbert**
Then I had better get to work myself.
**[00:48] Anne**
Yes, you should!
**[00:49] Male Student A**
That Gilbert never leaves Anne alone.
**[00:52] Male Student B**
I'm green with envy.
**[00:54] Male Student C**
It does make it hard to
talk to her at school.
**[00:57] Male Student B**
I hear that Anne lives in a
boardinghouse on Old St. John's.
**[01:02] Gilbert**
Well, I have a Lambs get-together to go to.
**[01:05] Anne**
Of course. Enjoy your women's clothing.
**[01:07] Gilbert**
Not *that* kind of get-together.
**[01:10] Anne**
* Nobody could be so satisfactory*
* a friend as Gilbert.*
**[01:14] Anne**
* He has evidently dropped all his*
* nonsensical ideas about me.*
**[01:21] Male Student**
Gilbert!
**[01:23] Gilbert**
Coming!
**[01:27] Anne**
*After all, I have...*
**[01:39] Anne**
*In truth, I am but a humble student.*
**[01:42] Anne**
* But I'll keep striving, dreaming*
* of what may be someday.*

**[03:30] Upperclassman A**
I staunchly oppose the tuition increase!
**[03:32] Underclassman A**
So do I! It's unconscionable!
**[03:34] Underclassman B**
We should call an emergency meeting.
**[03:35] Underclassman B**
We'll show them that the whole
student body stands against it.
**[03:38] Upperclassman A**
Let's start planning now.
**[03:46] Anne**
I have other plans today.
**[03:47] Male Student A**
Don't be like that.
**[03:49] Male Student A**
Surely you can spare a few moments?
**[03:51] Male Student C**
Look. The weather is fine.
**[03:53] Charlie**
Hello!
**[03:55] Charlie**
Thank you for waiting.
**[03:57] Anne**
Huh?
**[03:59] Anne**
Charlie?
**[04:08] Anne**
Thank you, Charlie.
**[04:10] Charlie**
Don't mention it.
**[04:11] Charlie**
It must be awful to be
pestered so incessantly.
**[04:14] Anne**
Well, it isn't pleasant.
**[04:16] Charlie**
I should thank you for joining me on
a walk when you have so much to do.
**[04:21] Anne**
I was just longing for a break.
**[04:23] Charlie**
Isn't this a lovely view?
**[04:26] Anne**
Yes.
**[04:27] Charlie**
And you're lovely, too, Anne.
**[04:31] Charlie**
Anne...
**[04:33] Charlie**
Would you promise to become
Mrs. Charlie Sloane some day?
**[04:37] Anne**
Huh?
**[04:38] Charlie**
In other words, I'd like you to marry me.
**[04:41] Anne**
Excuse me?!
**[04:41] Charlie**
I suppose that was awfully affected
for a proposal, wasn't it?
**[04:45] Anne**
But, Charlie, haven't we been
*friends* since we were children?
**[04:50] Charlie**
I cannot falsify my feelings any longer!
**[04:53] Charlie**
Anne, marry me!
**[04:55] Anne**
No, thank you.
**[04:56] Charlie**
What? Why not?!
**[04:58] Anne**
For any number of reasons.
**[05:00] Charlie**
What about me displeases you?!
**[05:02] Charlie**
Name it, and I'll mend my ways!
**[05:04] Anne**
It isn't that sort of problem.
**[05:06] Anne**
I've never thought of marrying you,
and I don't believe I ever could.
**[05:12] Charlie**
You would be a Sloane!
**[05:14] Charlie**
That's a great honor!
**[05:16] Anne**
One I simply cannot accept!
**[05:18] Charlie**
Are you rejecting my proposal?
**[05:22] Charlie**
You, an *orphan?!*
**[05:35] Anne**
Why do these things keep happening to me?
**[05:39] (Flashback) Anne**
I'm leaving!
**[05:42] (Flashback) Charlie**
I'll tell my mama!
**[05:46] (Flashback) Charlie**
And my papa, too!
**[05:47] (Flashback) Anne**
What on earth for?!
**[05:49] (Flashback) Anne**
You're stubborn as a mule!
**[06:03] Priscilla**
Anne, a letter!
**[06:05] Priscilla**
Are you well?
**[06:07] Anne**
I wonder that myself.
**[06:09] Priscilla**
It's from Stella.
**[06:10] Anne**
Stella? I haven't seen her since
our graduation from Queen's.
**[06:14] Priscilla**
Neither have I, although we've been
keeping each other up to date.
**[06:19] Priscilla**
I believe she's been teaching
at a backcountry school.
**[06:22] Priscilla**
She said that the parents gave her
more trouble than the pupils.
**[06:26] Anne**
Now she says that she's quit that school
and she's coming to Redmond next year!
**[06:31] Anne**
What do you think of her idea?
**[06:33] Anne**
I think it's a perfectly splendid one,
if we can only carry it out.
**[06:36] Anne**
Do you suppose we can, Pris?!
**[06:39] Priscilla**
I'll be better able to tell you
when I find out what it is.
**[06:43] Stella**
* Now, why can't you and Priscilla*
* and I club together,*
**[06:47] Stella**
* rent a little house somewhere in*
* Kingsport, and board ourselves?*
**[06:50] Stella**
*It would be cheaper than any other way.*
**[06:53] Stella**
* Of course, we would have*
* to have a housekeeper,*
**[06:58] Stella**
* but my grandmother is left alone in a great*
* big house, and she is horribly lonesome.*
**[07:03] Stella**
* She will come to Kingsport and*
* keep house for us if we want her.*
**[07:06] Priscilla**
"Now, if you agree to it, would you see
if you can find a suitable house?!"
**[07:11] Anne**
Yes!
**[07:14] Anne**
The question is whether we can
find a really suitable place.
**[07:19] Anne**
This one is too big, and the rent is high.
**[07:22] Priscilla**
It's too small, although
the rent isn't much.
**[07:25] Anne**
It would be hard to get
to Redmond from here.
**[07:28] Priscilla**
Indeed it would.
**[07:30] Anne**
This one looks haunted.
**[07:33] Anne; Priscilla**
This one is just out of the question!
**[07:37] Priscilla**
We shall have to give up and
wait till the fall, I suppose.
**[07:40] Priscilla**
If we still find nothing then,
boardinghouses we shall have always with us.
**[07:45] Anne**
I'm not going to worry about it just now,
anyway, and spoil this lovely afternoon.
**[07:50] Priscilla**
But look over there at Kingsport.
**[07:54] Priscilla**
Houses, houses everywhere,
and not one for us.
**[08:03] Anne**
I feel as if something mysterious
were going to happen right away.
**[08:07] Priscilla**
Oh! Wait for me!
**[08:16] Priscilla**
This is Spofford Avenue.
**[08:18] Priscilla**
We'll never find a house we can
afford in such a wealthy—
**[08:26] Anne**
Prissy,
**[08:30] Anne**
do you suppose it's possible that
we could rent Patty's Place?
**[08:34] Priscilla**
No. Face reality, Anne.
**[08:37] Priscilla**
They're sure to want more
for it than you imagine.
**[08:39] Priscilla**
I *won't* hope. The disappointment
would be too awful to bear.
**[08:44] Priscilla**
Remember, it's on Spofford Avenue!
**[08:49] Handmaiden**
Visitors, ma'am.
**[09:03] Priscilla**
They look so alike.
**[09:05] Anne**
Yes. It's a good omen.
**[09:07] Anne**
We—We—saw by your sign
that this house is to let.
**[09:15] Patty**
Oh, yes. I intended to take
that sign down today.
**[09:22] Anne**
Then—Then we are too late.
**[09:25] Patty**
No, but we have decided
*not* to let the house.
**[09:28] Anne**
Oh, I'm so sorry!
**[09:31] Anne**
We love this place so!
**[09:35] Patty**
You *love* it?
**[09:37] Patty**
We didn't treat the word *love*
so carelessly in my young day.
**[09:43] Patty**
The girls nowadays indulge in
such exaggerated statements
**[09:48] Patty**
that one never can tell what they do mean.
**[09:51] Patty**
Does that mean that you really *love* it?
Or that you merely like the looks of it?
**[09:57] Anne**
No,
**[09:59] Anne**
I really do love it.
**[10:01] Anne**
I've loved it ever since
I saw it last fall.
**[10:04] Anne**
My college chums and I are looking for a
little place to rent instead of boarding;
**[10:09] Anne**
and when I saw that this house
was to let I was so happy.
**[10:14] Anne**
I love the name, too. "Patty's Place."
**[10:18] Anne**
The name on the gate,
the way it's hung, everything.
**[10:22] Patty**
We decided that we would
not let it after all,
**[10:25] Patty**
because all the people who came to rent
it asked to take the name off the gate.
**[10:32] Patty**
If you love this house, you can have it.
**[10:36] Patty**
I believe you do love it
and will be good to it.
**[10:41] Anne**
Oh, but there is one problem.
**[10:44] Anne**
Can we even afford what you ask for it?
**[10:48] Patty**
How does this sound to you?
**[10:53] Anne**
I'm afraid we can't afford quite so much.
**[10:55] Anne**
You see, we are only
college girls and we are poor.
**[10:58] Patty**
What were you thinking you could afford?
**[11:01] Anne**
About... half this amount.
**[11:05] Patty**
That will do.
**[11:08] Anne**
Do you mean it?
**[11:09] Patty**
Yes. It is not strictly necessary
that we should let it at all.
**[11:13] Anne**
Thank you very much.
**[11:15] Anne**
By the way, will you leave the china dogs?
**[11:19] Patty**
Would you like me to?
**[11:21] Anne**
Oh, indeed, yes. They are delightful.
**[11:26] Patty**
Their names are Gog and Magog.
**[11:29] Patty**
My brother Aaron brought them from London.
**[11:33] Anne**
Your brother did?
**[11:34] Patty**
He thought a great deal of those dogs.
**[11:37] Patty**
It was Aaron who named this
house Patty's Place,
**[11:40] Patty**
and Spofford Avenue was called after him.
**[11:46] Anne**
Oh, is that how it happened?
**[11:48] Patty**
You know a good thing when you see it.
**[11:54] Priscilla**
It's all so delicious
**[11:57] Priscilla**
that I know we are going to wake up
and find it a fleeting vision of the night.
**[12:02] Anne**
Patty's Place is quite real,
and we are going to live there.
**[12:08] Anne**
I feel like one of the morning
stars that sang for joy.
**[12:15] Philippa**
Girls—Girls—let me come, too.
Oh, I'll be so good.
**[12:19] Philippa**
I won't stir off my marrow bones till you
tell me I can live with you next winter.
**[12:24] Anne**
Phil, we're poor.
Our housekeeping will be simple.
**[12:27] Priscilla**
And our table plain.
**[12:29] Philippa**
Oh, what do I care for that?
**[12:31] Anne**
And then there will be a good
deal of work to be done.
**[12:34] Anne**
And you...
**[12:36] Philippa**
Toil not, neither do I spin.
**[12:39] Philippa**
But I'll learn to do things.
**[12:42] Philippa**
You'll only have to show me once.
**[12:45] Philippa**
If you won't let me cast in my lot with you,
I'll die of the disappointment,
**[12:50] Philippa**
and then I'll come back and haunt you!
**[12:51] Philippa**
I'll camp on the very
doorstep of Patty's Place
**[12:54] Philippa**
and you won't be able to go out or come
in without falling over my spook!
**[13:05] Priscilla**
We can't promise until
we've consulted Stella.
**[13:08] Anne**
I don't think she'll object.
**[13:10] Anne**
Phil is a dear...
**[13:12] Anne**
even if she is a little thoughtless.
**[13:15] Priscilla**
She is that.
**[13:16] Anne**
I believe we will all get on
beautifully in Patty's Place.
**[13:30] Anne**
* Over the summer holidays after*
* my first year at Redmond,*
**[13:33] Anne**
* I decided to visit Bolingbroke*
* before going on to Avonlea.*
**[13:37] Anne**
* Philippa's family and the house*
* where I was born are both here.*
**[13:42] Philippa**
There's my old home.
Mount Holly, it's called.
**[13:47] Anne**
It's wonderful.
**[13:48] Philippa**
I've asked my family to
find out about yours.
**[13:51] Anne**
Thank you.
**[13:53] Philippa**
Is something the matter?
**[13:55] Anne**
My ideals have been in perilous condition
lately. On the verge of collapse.
**[14:01] Anne**
What if the house we're about to
visit isn't the house I know?
**[14:05] Philippa**
You remember it?
I thought you were a wee little baby.
**[14:10] Anne**
I imagined it. All of it.
**[14:12] Anne**
It *must* be a little yellow house
with honeysuckle over the windows
**[14:17] Anne**
and lilac and lily-of-the-valley
in the garden
**[14:21] Anne**
and muslin curtains on all the windows.
**[14:25] Philippa**
You have a genius for making
life more difficult.
**[14:34] Alec**
Anne Shirley?
**[14:36] Anne**
Yes.
**[14:37] Alec**
I thought so. You're as lovely
as Phil said in her letters.
**[14:41] Alonzo**
Or even lovelier.
**[14:43] Anne**
Thank you.
**[14:44] Anne**
Shall I guess your names, too?
**[14:46] Anne**
You're Alec with the beautiful hair.
**[14:49] Anne**
And you must be Alonzo,
possessor of a handsome nose.
**[14:53] Alonzo**
Welcome to Bolingbroke.
**[14:55] Alonzo**
We're happy to have you, Anne.
**[14:57] Alec**
Now, where is our fair lady?
**[15:00] Anne**
With her parents.
**[15:01] Philippa**
My!
**[15:03] Philippa**
I see you've already made friends.
**[15:05] Alec**
Welcome home, Phil.
**[15:07] Alonzo**
Welcome... home.
**[15:08] Philippa**
Tell me, Anne, which of them
do you think I should marry?
**[15:14] Philippa**
Well?!
**[15:15] Anne**
I think they are both fine fellows,
**[15:18] Anne**
but you must decide that
for yourself, Phil.
**[15:21] Philippa**
I guess I should.
**[15:23] Philippa**
Oh, and the house is here.
**[15:26] Anne**
Thank you. Oh, it won't be long now.
**[15:30] Anne**
I'm glad, of course.
**[15:32] Anne**
It will be a pleasure.
**[15:34] Philippa**
I could go with you, if you like.
**[15:37] Anne**
Would you?
**[15:38] Philippa**
I want to see if your
ideal survives intact.
**[15:42] Anne**
Please do come!
**[15:44] Anne**
Even my wildest flights of fancy
seem possible when you're with me.
**[15:51] Philippa**
Then we'll have a real jamboree
tonight to set the tone!
**[15:58] Alonzo**
You're gorgeous, Phil!
**[16:03] Philippa**
Oh, this is so much fun!
**[16:05] Philippa**
See?!
**[16:06] Philippa**
*Anne,*
**[16:07] Philippa**
* may you discover beautiful*
* memories tomorrow,*
**[16:16] Philippa**
*even if*
**[16:18] Philippa**
*they aren't exactly*
**[16:23] Philippa**
*what you anticipated.*
**[16:30] Philippa**
It's just around this next bend.
**[16:36] Philippa**
I don't see why you should rush yourself.
**[16:38] Philippa**
We have plenty more time.
You don't *have* to go today.
**[16:45] Philippa**
*It's my fault.*
**[16:47] Philippa**
*Because I invited her to Bolingbroke,*
**[16:51] Philippa**
*invited her knowing she'd be disappointed.*
**[17:05] Philippa**
Would you look at that!
**[17:08] Philippa**
Your ideal is alive and well.
**[17:17] Philippa**
A lilac tree by the gate.
**[17:20] Philippa**
Lily-of-the-valley in the garden.
**[17:23] Philippa**
There is no honeysuckle over the windows,
but there are muslin curtains in them.
**[17:28] Philippa**
It's all just as you imagined it!
**[17:31] Philippa**
Are you a prophetess, by any chance?
**[17:35] Anne**
I'm sorry. I know this is sudden,
**[17:37] Anne**
but did a family called Shirley ever live here?
It would have been a long time ago.
**[17:43] Woman**
Yes, the Shirleys lived
here twenty years ago.
**[17:50] Woman**
They had it rented. I remember 'em.
**[17:54] Woman**
They both died of fever at once.
**[17:57] Woman**
It was turrible sad. They left a baby.
**[18:02] Woman**
Distant relatives took it,
but I guess it's dead long ago.
**[18:07] Woman**
It was a sickly thing.
**[18:11] Anne**
It didn't die.
**[18:14] Anne**
I was that baby.
**[18:17] Woman**
You don't say so!
**[18:18] Anne**
My name is Anne Shirley.
**[18:20] Woman**
Why, you *have* grown!
**[18:24] Woman**
Will you come in? That's what
you came for, I expect.
**[18:28] Woman**
Look all over the house, if you like.
**[18:33] Anne**
Thank you very much.
**[18:36] Woman**
The east room upstairs was
the one you were born in.
**[18:41] Woman**
The furniture was all sold before we came.
**[18:47] Woman**
All that's here now, we brought in later.
**[18:53] Anne**
*What a small room,*
**[18:56] Anne**
*smaller than my room at Green Gables.*
**[19:01] Anne**
*My mother took in this view.*
**[19:07] Anne**
*The sunlight from this window*
**[19:10] Anne**
* might have shone on her*
* and me when I was born.*
**[19:17] Anne**
*My mother gave birth to me in this room*
**[19:21] Anne**
*and died soon after.*
**[19:24] Anne**
* Just to think of it—she*
* was younger than I am now.*
**[19:30] Woman**
Here's a bundle of old letters
I found in that closet upstairs.
**[19:35] Woman**
See, this one's addressed
to "Miss Bertha Willis."
**[19:40] Anne**
Willis was my mother's maiden name!
**[19:43] Anne**
Oh, thank you!
**[19:45] Anne**
I haven't one thing that
belonged to my mother.
**[19:49] Anne**
I can never thank you enough.
**[19:51] Woman**
You're quite welcome.
**[19:53] Woman**
Laws, but your eyes is like your ma's.
**[19:57] Woman**
And you're complected like your pa.
**[19:59] Woman**
There never was two people more in love.
**[20:02] Woman**
Pore creetures, they didn't live long.
**[20:06] Woman**
But they was awful happy
while they was alive,
**[20:09] Woman**
and I s'pose that counts for a good deal.
**[20:16] Philippa**
Maybe I should take up looking in closets.
**[20:21] Anne**
*There are a dozen letters in all.*
**[20:25] Anne**
*From during their engagement.*
**[20:28] Anne**
* Some are written by my father,*
* some by my mother.*
**[20:35] Anne**
"Bertha Shirley."
**[20:38] Anne**
Mother sent this one after she married.
**[20:54] Bertha**
*Anne is a bright baby.*
**[20:57] Bertha**
* She's lively, kind, and warm,*
* and has a thousand sweetnesses.*
**[21:02] Bertha**
*I love her best when she is asleep*
**[21:09] Bertha**
*and better still when she is awake.*
**[21:21] Anne**
Thank you, Phil.
**[21:23] Anne**
This has been the most
beautiful day of my life.
**[21:28] Anne**
I've *found* my father and mother.
**[21:31] Philippa**
And you pictured their house perfectly.
**[21:34] Anne**
I'm sure Mrs. Thomas must have told me,
and I only thought I'd imagined it.
**[21:41] Anne**
But I'm not an orphan any longer.
**[21:45] Philippa**
No, you're not.
**[21:48] Anne**
*I feel as if I had opened a book*
**[21:52] Anne**
* and found roses of yesterday,*
* sweet and beloved, between its leaves.*

**[00:01] Anne**
*The summer of my first year at Redmond,*
**[00:03] Anne**
* after receiving letters that my*
* parents wrote in days gone by,*
**[00:06] Anne**
*I returned to Avonlea with a full heart.*
**[00:10] Anne**
I have been wondering if I could write a
short story good enough to be published.
**[00:15] Diana**
Why, of course you could!
**[00:16] Diana**
You used to write perfectly thrilling
stories years ago in our old Story Club.
**[00:21] Anne**
One of the junior girls at Redmond
wrote a story last winter,
**[00:24] Anne**
and it was published in the *Canadian Woman*.
**[00:27] Anne**
I really do think I could
write one at least as good.
**[00:31] Diana**
I'm subscribed to that magazine!
**[00:33] Anne**
I might try one of the
bigger magazines first.
**[00:37] Anne**
It all depends on what
kind of a story I write.
**[00:42] Anne**
Say, where is old Mr. Sloane?
**[00:45] Anne**
I can't seem to spot Mr. Cotton, either.
**[00:48] Marilla**
Well, as to that...
**[00:50] Anne**
You don't mean... they've passed on?
**[00:53] Lynde**
Old Sloane had his whiskers
trimmed neat as anything.
**[00:57] Lynde**
I thought at first it was
somebody else in his casket.
**[01:00] Davy**
Say, why do grown-ups get to talk
when it's wrong for children to do it?
**[01:04] Davy**
I want to know.
**[01:06] Anne**
Well, I don't suppose age
has anything to do with it.
**[01:10] Dora**
Oh, here comes the bride.
**[01:14] Anne**
*Billy Andrews,*
**[01:16] Anne**
* the coward who got his*
* sister to propose for him.*
**[01:19] Anne**
*I'm glad to see he's made a good match.*
**[01:23] Davy**
Anne, there's the minister who rode the pig!
**[01:33] Anne**
*Is that...*
**[01:37] Anne**
*Ruby?*
**[01:44] Anne**
Has Ruby injured herself?
**[01:46] Marilla**
She won't live to see fall.
**[01:49] Marilla**
Everybody knows it except
herself and her family.
**[01:53] Marilla**
And her so young.
**[01:55] Marilla**
She's been telling Diana how she'd like
to talk with you when you got back.
**[02:02] Anne**
*I couldn't believe it.*
**[02:04] Anne**
*Brilliant, merry Ruby!*
**[02:06] Anne**
* How could the flame of her life*
* be guttering out?*

**[03:47] Ruby**
I've been dying to see you, Anne.
**[03:49] Anne**
Yes, Ruby, so have I.
**[03:51] Ruby**
We're having a little get-together
here tomorrow.
**[03:54] Ruby**
I do so want you to come, Anne.
**[03:56] Ruby**
You must tell me about Redmond.
**[03:58] Anne**
Of course. I'll be certain to come.
**[04:02] Ruby**
You must come!
**[04:03] Anne**
I will.
**[04:05] Diana**
Ruby's been wanting to see
you for a long while.
**[04:08] Diana**
I really couldn't bring
myself to go see her alone.
**[04:20] Lynde**
They've a bitter time in store for them.
**[04:23] Marilla**
We can do nothing now but watch.
**[04:30] Diana**
Look!
**[04:31] Diana**
It's like an island
floating in a golden sea.
**[04:34] Anne**
If we could sail to it in the moonshine,
how nice it would be.
**[04:39] Anne**
Do you think we could find
all our yesterdays there?
**[04:44] Diana**
Anne, you make me feel as if we were old
women with everything in life behind us.
**[04:52] Diana**
What is your story to be about?
**[04:55] Anne**
I don't know yet.
**[04:57] Anne**
The only thing I've settled
on is the heroine's name.
**[05:00] Anne**
It is to be Averil Lester.
**[05:02] Diana**
Averil?
**[05:03] Anne**
I'd like it to end unhappily, because
that would be so much more romantic.
**[05:06] Anne**
But I understand editors have a
prejudice against sad endings.
**[05:10] Anne**
"Nobody but a genius should try
to write an unhappy ending."
**[05:14] Anne**
And I'm anything but a genius.
**[05:17] Diana**
I like happy endings best.
**[05:19] Anne**
But you like to cry over stories?
**[05:23] Diana**
Oh, yes, in the middle of them.
**[05:25] Diana**
But I like everything to come right at last.
**[05:37] Anne**
I don't know anyone here.
**[05:39] Diana**
Where can Ruby be?
**[05:41] Ruby**
Here I am!
**[05:43] Ruby**
Oh, Diana. You've come, too.
**[05:47] Diana**
Go on.
**[05:48] Anne**
What will you do?
**[05:50] Diana**
I'll go get something to drink.
**[05:53] Ruby**
I'm going to teach in White Sands
in the fall, you know.
**[05:56] Ruby**
There's so much to prepare!
**[05:59] Ruby**
I've a blue silk to make up yet.
**[06:03] Ruby**
How do you like my hat?
**[06:04] Ruby**
Too bright, do you think?
**[06:06] Anne**
It suits you wonderfully.
**[06:09] Ruby**
I'm so glad you came today.
**[06:11] Ruby**
I'll be away Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
**[06:14] Ruby**
There's a concert at Carmody
and a party at White Sands.
**[06:19] Ruby**
Herb Spencer's going to take me.
**[06:21] Anne**
Herb?
**[06:23] Ruby**
Did you think I was engaged to
the Spencervale schoolmaster?
**[06:27] Ruby**
That was only a rumor.
**[06:29] Ruby**
I don't care a bit about
the boys downstairs, either.
**[06:32] Ruby**
They just work themselves up.
**[06:34] Ruby**
Herb is *Mr. Right.*.
**[06:37] Anne**
I see.
**[06:38] Anne**
You know, Ruby, I heard that
you've been poorly lately.
**[06:44] Ruby**
Why, I'm perfectly well!
**[06:47] Ruby**
That congestion last winter
pulled me down a little.
**[06:51] Ruby**
But just see my color.
**[06:52] Anne**
I see. That's good, then.
**[06:56] Anne**
Now, I'd really better be going.
**[06:59] Ruby**
What? Already?
**[07:01] Ruby**
Thank you for today.
**[07:03] Ruby**
I wanted to have a nice good talk with you.
**[07:06] Ruby**
You and I were always
good chums, weren't we?
**[07:09] Anne**
Yes, we were.
**[07:11] Ruby**
Come alone next time.
**[07:13] Ruby**
When can I expect you?
**[07:16] Diana**
Anne!
**[07:17] Diana**
Anne, wait!
**[07:19] Diana**
Anne!
**[07:22] Anne**
Ruby's arms were so thin that I...
**[07:25] Anne**
I felt I couldn't breathe.
**[07:28] Diana**
Anne...
**[07:31] Anne**
What shall I do, Diana?
**[07:42] Harrison**
I wondered who it could be at this hour.
**[07:44] Anne**
Mr. Harrison, it's been far too long.
**[07:47] Harrison**
Home for the summer, are you?
**[07:49] Anne**
Yes. Mrs. Lynde is baking pies
tomorrow. I'll bring you one.
**[07:53] Harrison**
No pie will convince me
to give to the church.
**[07:56] Diana**
Goodness!
**[07:58] Diana**
He wouldn't give to the A.V.I.S.,
and he won't come to church.
**[08:01] Diana**
When did you make friends
with this odd fellow, Anne?
**[08:06] (Flashback) Harrison**
So I do, but my approval doesn't
go as deep as my pocket.
**[08:09] (Flashback) Ginger**
Redheaded snippet! Redheaded snippet!
**[08:12] (Flashback) Harrison**
S-Stop that, you!
**[08:14] Anne**
I know I was incensed at the time,
but look how painting the hall turned out.
**[08:21] Anne**
I've come to think that maybe
Mr. Harrison had the right of it.
**[08:25] Diana**
That was only a coincidence.
**[08:28] Anne**
I suppose.
**[08:29] Anne**
But he doesn't lie or flatter,
**[08:32] Anne**
so when I finish my story, I'll want
you and Mr. Harrison to read it.
**[08:36] Diana**
What does Mr. Harrison know about stories?
**[08:42] Lynde**
How was Ruby?
**[08:45] Anne**
She seemed better than I'd feared.
**[08:47] Marilla**
What, done already?
**[08:49] Anne**
Yes. College students have so much to do.
**[08:53] Lynde**
I'll bring you tea and cookies later.
**[08:57] Anne**
Thank you.
**[08:58] Davy**
Mrs. Lynde may be bossy, but at least
she's not stingy with her cookies.
**[09:04] Lynde**
I can hear you.
**[09:14] (Flashback) Ruby**
When can I expect you?
**[09:17] (Flashback) Diana**
I like happy endings best.
**[09:20] Anne**
*Averil Lester,*
**[09:23] Anne**
*let me write your story.*
**[09:27] Anne**
*I had made up my mind to write a story,*
**[09:30] Anne**
* and although I hadn't planned it to,*
* that summer's goal sustained me.*
**[09:43] Anne**
* I visited Ruby nearly every day*
* and spent the evenings with her.*
**[09:50] Ruby**
My father thinks it better that
I shouldn't teach till New Year's.
**[09:56] Anne**
I agree with him.
**[09:58] Ruby**
Really!
**[09:59] Ruby**
I'll wear my new dress
to some party or other.
**[10:02] Ruby**
The boys will fuss again, and they're
dreadfully jealous of Herb already.
**[10:14] Anne**
* When I got home from visiting Ruby,*
* I threw myself into the world of stories.*
**[10:20] Anne**
* Averil is descended from a noble*
* family fallen on hard times.*
**[10:23] Anne**
* The hero, Perceval, is the heir to*
* a newly minted business empire.*
**[10:28] Anne**
* And Maurice, who persecutes*
* Averil at every opportunity,*
**[10:32] Anne**
* is a parvenu buoyed by*
* political instability.*
**[10:37] Ruby**
At Christmas, I thought the Spencervale
schoolmaster was the man for me.
**[10:44] Ruby**
But I was wrong.
**[10:46] Ruby**
He nearly went insane
when I turned him down—
**[10:50] Anne**
Ruby?!
**[10:51] Anne**
I'll get you some water.
**[10:52] Ruby**
Don't go!
**[10:53] Ruby**
I'm fine. So stay here.
**[10:56] Ruby**
I'll be all right in a moment.
**[10:59] Anne**
Ruby hasn't got much longer.
**[11:02] Anne**
We should have more important
things to talk about.
**[11:06] Anne**
The meaning of life, her goals...
words to remember her by.
**[11:09] Diana**
But that's Ruby all over.
**[11:12] Diana**
She never did talk about
anything except boys.
**[11:16] Diana**
As long as she's boasting about her
beaus, there's nothing to fear.
**[11:22] Ruby**
Herb Spencer is the only one I like.
**[11:28] Ruby**
I've come to see that we're
meant for each other.
**[11:31] Ruby**
I've gotten engaged to him.
**[11:34] Ruby**
We're to be married in the new year.
**[11:37] Ruby**
You must come to the wedding.
**[11:38] Anne**
O-Of course.
**[11:39] Ruby**
I'll have so much to do.
**[11:44] Ruby**
Look, Anne.
**[11:45] Ruby**
They hardly ever come into the yard.
**[11:50] Ruby**
Are they brothers, do you think?
**[11:54] Ruby**
*Or maybe...*
**[12:06] Marilla**
Anne.
**[12:08] Marilla**
Have you been getting enough sleep?
**[12:10] Anne**
Yes.
**[12:11] Marilla**
Every time you go to see Ruby,
you come home looking tired out.
**[12:15] Marilla**
I don't see why you can't stop.
**[12:18] Anne**
I feel as if she's struggling
with an invisible foe,
**[12:22] Anne**
trying to push it back with such
feeble resistance as she has.
**[12:25] Anne**
I can only watch her,
**[12:28] Anne**
but even so, someone must.
**[12:41] Diana**
It's so lovely how Averil and
Perceval marry in the end.
**[12:44] Anne**
You mean it?!
**[12:46] Diana**
Only...
**[12:46] Anne**
O-Only what?
**[12:48] Diana**
Why did you kill Maurice?
**[12:51] Anne**
He was the villain.
**[12:53] Anne**
If I had let him live, he'd have
gone on persecuting Perceval.
**[12:56] Diana**
But that's what I like about him.
**[12:58] Diana**
Well, anyway, it's a perfectly
elegant story, Anne,
**[13:03] Diana**
and will make you famous,
of that I'm sure.
**[13:06] Harrison**
It's shaped up some.
**[13:08] Anne**
I did as you said and cut all the flowery
passages with no bearing on the plot.
**[13:14] Harrison**
Still...
**[13:16] Anne**
Still what?
**[13:17] Harrison**
I don't see why Maurice didn't get her.
**[13:20] Anne**
Maurice was the villain. I don't see why
everyone likes him better than Perceval.
**[13:26] Harrison**
Perceval is too good. He's aggravating.
**[13:31] Harrison**
Listen, stories are all make-believe.
**[13:35] Harrison**
So you've got to make your readers
believe that they could *really* happen.
**[13:41] Harrison**
But your folks ain't like
real folks anywhere.
**[13:45] Diana**
What will you do?
**[13:47] Diana**
Fix it up like Mr. Harrison said?
**[13:51] Diana**
Of course not. It is *your* story, Anne.
**[13:54] Diana**
I just know it will be a success.
**[13:56] Anne**
* I sent "Averil's Atonement" to the*
* biggest of the "big" Yankee magazines.*
**[14:03] Anne**
*But two weeks later...*
**[14:05] Diana**
I never thought much of
that magazine, anyway!
**[14:09] Diana**
Don't be discouraged, Anne.
Send it to the *Canadian Woman*.
**[14:13] Diana**
Remember how Mrs. Morgan's
stories came back.
**[14:18] Diana**
They can't have read it at all!
**[14:21] Diana**
See if I ever read the *Canadian Woman* again!
**[14:24] Anne**
It was just a silly idea anyhow.
**[14:27] Anne**
I'll focus my energies on teaching
after I graduate from Redmond.
**[14:31] Anne**
This is the end of my literary ambitions.
**[14:36] Diana**
Anne, could you see your way to copying
part of "Averil's Atonement" for me?
**[14:42] Anne**
Certainly, if you like.
**[14:52] Ruby**
Anne, would you lend me a hand?
**[14:55] Ruby**
I want to send invitations to my next party,
**[14:59] Ruby**
but they won't go into the envelopes right.
**[15:06] Anne**
You'd better rest!
**[15:08] Anne**
Come on.
**[15:10] Ruby**
I won't go with *you*.
**[15:14] Anne**
Ruby?
**[15:16] Ruby**
Go away.
**[15:19] Ruby**
Leave me be.
**[15:21] Ruby**
Leave me be!
**[15:25] Anne**
Ruby?
**[15:27] Anne**
Ruby! Ruby!
**[15:29] Doctor**
The fever has confused her, I'm afraid.
**[15:31] Mrs. Gillis**
My daughter is fine.
There's nothing the matter with her.
**[15:38] Gilbert**
Anne!
**[15:41] Marilla**
Promise me you won't go again!
**[15:44] Marilla**
What if you catch consumption
and end up like poor Ruby?
**[15:50] Marilla**
I can't bear the thought!
**[15:52] Anne**
You needn't worry, Marilla.
**[15:55] Anne**
I won't be seeing Ruby anymore.
**[16:36] Anne**
Hello, Mr. Harrison.
**[16:41] Harrison**
Is that so?
**[16:43] Anne**
I've given it up completely.
**[16:45] Anne**
I feel refreshed, if anything.
**[16:48] Anne**
To think that writing stories
was such a weight on my mind!
**[16:52] Harrison**
I wouldn't give up altogether.
**[16:57] Harrison**
I'd write a story once in a while, Anne.
**[17:02] Anne**
I don't think I will.
**[17:03] Anne**
Excuse me.
**[17:06] Anne**
How can he say that when he
came down so hard on it?
**[17:09] Anne**
I've had enough. I've suffered enough hurt.
**[17:15] Anne**
"Hurt"?
**[17:22] Anne**
*What does it matter?*
**[17:25] Anne**
*Ruby...*
**[17:26] Anne**
*Ruby is...*
**[17:44] Anne**
Ruby, I...
**[17:46] Ruby**
Look.
**[17:50] Ruby**
How ghostly it looks.
**[17:54] Ruby**
It won't be long now before
I'll be lying over there.
**[17:57] Anne**
Ruby? What are you saying?
**[17:59] Ruby**
You know it's so, don't you?
**[18:02] Ruby**
I know it—I've known it all summer,
**[18:05] Ruby**
though I wouldn't give in.
**[18:08] Ruby**
I'm just... afraid.
**[18:11] Ruby**
I'm not afraid but that I'll go to heaven.
**[18:14] Ruby**
Heaven must be very beautiful,
of course, the Bible says so.
**[18:20] Ruby**
But, Anne, *it won't be
what I've been used to*.
**[18:25] Ruby**
And I'll have to go there... all alone.
**[18:30] Anne**
*Oh, please, give me...*
**[18:33] Anne**
* Give me the words to help*
* Ruby, even a little,*
**[18:37] Anne**
* wise people and elders of Avonlea,*
* of Prince Edward Island, of heaven!*
**[18:45] Anne**
I think perhaps... life in heaven
can't be so different from here.
**[18:51] Anne**
I believe we'll just go on living,
a good deal as we live here—
**[18:56] Anne**
and be ourselves just the same.
**[19:00] Anne**
Only it will be easier to be good
and to—follow the highest.
**[19:07] Anne**
Don't be afraid, Ruby.
**[19:09] Ruby**
I can't help it.
**[19:11] Ruby**
I just can't.
**[19:14] Ruby**
Even if what you say about heaven is true,
I've never been. I've never seen it.
**[19:22] Ruby**
It may be only that imagination of yours!
**[19:27] Ruby**
It won't be just the same! It can't be!
**[19:34] Ruby**
I want to live.
**[19:38] Ruby**
I want to live like other girls.
**[19:40] Ruby**
To be married and have little children.
**[19:45] Ruby**
And then poor Herb.
**[19:47] Ruby**
He loves me,
**[19:50] Ruby**
and I... I love him.
**[20:11] Ruby**
I'm glad I've told you this, Anne.
**[20:14] Ruby**
I've wanted to all summer.
**[20:18] Ruby**
But I *couldn't*.
**[20:20] Ruby**
It seemed as if it would make death
so *sure* if I said I was going to die.
**[20:27] Ruby**
I'll try.
**[20:29] Ruby**
I'll think over what you have said,
and try to believe it.
**[20:33] Anne**
Good. I know you can.
**[20:36] Ruby**
Thank you. For all you've ever done for me.
**[20:39] Ruby**
I've always liked you best of all my friends.
**[20:45] Ruby**
You'll come up soon again.
**[20:47] Anne**
Y-Yes, very soon.
**[20:50] Anne**
I promise.
**[20:54] Ruby**
It's all right.
**[20:56] Ruby**
Nothing seems quite so dreadful now.
**[21:19] Davy**
Ruby Gillis was a great girl to laugh.
**[21:23] Davy**
Will she laugh as much in heaven?
**[21:26] Dora**
I hope heaven is like Avonlea.
**[21:31] Anne**
Yes, so do I.
**[21:34] Anne**
I think she will laugh.
**[21:36] Anne**
I think...
**[21:39] Anne**
she's laughing now.

**[00:01] Anne**
*As the summer we lost Ruby came to an end,*
**[00:04] Anne**
*I was preparing for my return to Kingsport...*
**[00:07] Harrison**
Say, Anne, been writing
any more stories lately?
**[00:13] Anne**
No.
**[00:14] Harrison**
Well, Mrs. Hiram Sloane told me
the other day that a big envelope
**[00:18] Harrison**
addressed to that baking powder company
had been dropped into the post office box.
**[00:23] Harrison**
I suspected that maybe you were
trying for the prize they'd offered
**[00:27] Harrison**
for the best story that introduced
the name of their baking powder.
**[00:32] Anne**
Indeed, no!
**[00:35] Anne**
I think it would be perfectly disgraceful
to write a story as an advertisement.
**[00:41] Diana**
Anne!
**[00:42] Diana**
There you are.
**[00:44] Diana**
Here's a letter for you.
**[00:46] Diana**
Here!
**[00:47] Diana**
I was at the office, so I
thought I'd bring it along.
**[00:51] Diana**
Do open it quick.
**[00:53] Anne**
What's come over you, Diana?
**[00:55] Diana**
I'm wild with delight. Go on, read it.
**[01:00] Anne**
"We have much pleasure in informing you"
**[01:02] Anne**
"that your charming story
'Averil's Atonement'"
**[01:06] Anne**
"has won the prize of twenty-five dollars
offered in our recent competition."
**[01:12] Anne**
"Yours very truly,
The Rollings Reliable Baking Powder Co."
**[01:17] Anne**
What?
***SIGN*** Chapter 20
***SIGN*** My World Has
Tumbled Into Pieces
**[02:54] Anne**
I don't understand.
**[02:56] Anne**
How could my story have won the prize?
**[02:59] Diana**
I sent it!
**[03:02] Diana**
Oh, I *knew* it would win!
**[03:05] Diana**
At first I thought I'd
ask you to send it in.
**[03:07] Diana**
But you had so little faith left in it.
**[03:10] Diana**
So I just decided I'd send
the copy you gave me.
**[03:14] Diana**
Why, Anne, you don't seem a bit pleased!
**[03:18] Anne**
I'm so amazed—I can't realize it.
**[03:20] Anne**
There wasn't a word in my story about...
about baking powder.
**[03:24] Diana**
Oh, *I* put that in.
**[03:26] Diana**
It was as easy as a wink.
**[03:29] Diana**
When Averil bakes the cake,
**[03:32] Diana**
I just added, "and I will never use
any baking powder except Rollings."
**[03:37] Diana**
Here!
**[03:38] Diana**
The twenty-five dollars you've won!
**[03:43] Anne**
Diana,
**[03:44] Anne**
I can't take it.
**[03:47] Anne**
It's yours by right. You sent the story in.
**[03:51] Diana**
The honor of being a friend of the
prize-winner is enough for me.
**[03:54] Diana**
I'm so glad for your sake, Anne.
**[03:57] Anne**
Oh, Diana,
**[04:00] Anne**
I think you are the sweetest and
truest friend in the world,
**[04:06] Anne**
and I assure you I appreciate
the motive of what you've done.
**[04:23] Davy**
Gilbert's here to see you, Anne.
**[04:26] Davy**
Are you well?
**[04:30] Gilbert**
Why, what is the matter?
**[04:33] Gilbert**
I came to congratulate you.
**[04:35] Anne**
Oh, Gilbert, not you.
**[04:39] Anne**
I thought you would understand.
**[04:42] Gilbert**
I must confess I can't. *What* is wrong?
**[04:45] Anne**
Everything.
**[04:46] Anne**
I loved my poor little story.
**[04:50] Anne**
What will the professors think when they
hear I've written an advertisement?
**[04:56] Anne**
And, oh, when it gets out at Redmond!
Think how I'll be teased and laughed at!
**[05:01] Gilbert**
Why worry what anyone else thinks?
**[05:06] Gilbert**
One would rather write masterpieces
of literature, no doubt.
**[05:11] Gilbert**
But, meanwhile, meals have to be
bought and board has to be paid.
**[05:16] Gilbert**
Put the prize toward tuition fees and
consider that it enhances your learning.
**[05:24] Anne**
I suppose one must face reality.
**[05:27] Anne**
But I cannot feel easy in my mind about it.
**[05:30] Gilbert**
Then will you let me read
your story sometime?
**[05:34] Anne**
Certainly. But whatever for?
**[05:36] Gilbert**
Because then I'll be able to tell whether
you wrote it as an advertisement.
**[05:40] Anne**
I'd like you to read it very much.
**[05:44] Anne**
Isn't it lovely?
**[05:45] Anne**
Do you know, I didn't notice until just now?
**[05:48] Gilbert**
This view has made my own cares pale
into insignificance more than once.
**[05:55] Anne**
Gilbert, did you really
come to congratulate me?
**[06:00] Gilbert**
Yes, of course.
**[06:02] Anne**
*He must have known I was feeling miserable.*
**[06:06] Gilbert**
* Good. She looks more*
* cheerful than I'd feared.*
**[06:09] Anne**
Thank you.
**[06:18] Gilbert**
Just think, next week we start
our second year at Redmond.
**[06:28] Philippa**
It's homier than home.
**[06:32] Anne**
It's pictures galore after all, I see.
**[06:35] Anne**
Although Miss Patty didn't seem to want
us putting more holes in her wallpaper.
**[06:40] Philippa**
We'll putty the holes
up when we leave, dear.
**[06:43] Philippa**
Now, Stella, when does
Aunt Jamesina come to live with us?
**[06:47] Stella**
Tomorrow. And she's bringing a cat.
**[06:51] Priscilla**
A cat! I adore cats!
**[06:52] Anne**
Then there will be six of
us living under one roof.
**[06:56] Philippa**
Five and one animal, you mean.
**[06:58] Priscilla**
Call it four and two animals.
**[07:08] Philippa**
Good morning, Charlie.
**[07:11] Philippa**
My, what good friends you are.
**[07:14] Anne**
Oh, stop it.
**[07:16] Gilbert**
Good morning, friendly fellow lodgers.
**[07:19] Philippa**
Good morning, Gilbert.
**[07:21] Philippa**
The living room has come
together splendidly.
**[07:24] Philippa**
You must visit.
**[07:26] Gilbert**
Of course.
**[07:31] Gilbert**
Well, I have class across the hall.
**[07:34] Priscilla**
Later, then.
**[07:35] Philippa**
Anne?
**[07:37] Philippa**
Has anything happened
between you and Gilbert?
**[07:39] Anne**
No.
**[07:41] Anne**
What?
**[07:42] Philippa**
I don't miss much in affairs of the heart.
**[07:45] Anne**
Honestly, nothing's happened!
**[07:46] Philippa**
You don't need to hide it.
**[07:59] Anne**
Goodness!
**[08:01] Anne**
You mustn't follow me.
**[08:03] Anne**
I'm sorry, but we already
have a cat coming to stay.
**[08:15] Anne**
No. Shoo.
**[08:20] Anne**
It's not a laughing matter!
**[08:23] Philippa**
That cat must have taken a
real fancy to you, Anne.
**[08:26] Priscilla**
Was he as thin as all that?
**[08:28] Stella**
You should have fed him.
**[08:31] Anne**
No. If I did that, I would have to keep him.
**[08:48] Anne**
You can't simply waltz in uninvited.
**[08:51] Priscilla**
He has evidently adopted you.
**[08:53] Philippa**
He really is emaciated.
**[08:55] Stella**
Poor creature.
**[08:56] Anne**
Well, I'll give him a square meal and
then he must return to whence he came.
**[09:16] Philippa**
He plainly means to stay.
**[09:18] Priscilla**
Something has to be done.
**[09:19] Stella**
We can't keep him.
**[09:21] Stella**
Aunt Jimsie will bring her cat with her.
**[09:24] Anne**
Yes.
**[09:26] Anne**
That's why I told him and
myself that it was not to be.
**[09:34] Anne**
Oh.
**[09:37] Anne**
Oh, I can't pretend any longer!
**[09:40] Anne**
He's my cat!
**[09:42] Anne**
His name is Rusty!
**[09:44] Philippa**
What, you've already christened him?
**[09:47] Priscilla**
How like Anne.
**[09:49] Stella**
Now you'll have to convince
Aunt Jimsie and the other cat.
**[09:55] Anne**
Yes, I'll try.
**[09:57] Anne**
Be good, Rusty.
**[10:01] Stella**
Um... Aunt Jamesina,
**[10:04] Stella**
I thought you said you
were bringing *one* cat.
**[10:07] Jamesina**
A dear friend begged me to take him.
**[10:10] Jamesina**
The stately one is the Sarah-cat.
**[10:12] Jamesina**
The meek one is my dear friend's, Joseph.
**[10:16] Jamesina**
The Sarah-cat *never* fights
and Joseph rarely.
**[10:23] Anne**
Rusty!
**[10:33] Anne**
No, Rusty!
**[10:35] Anne**
Stop that!
**[10:37] Jamesina**
It's all right. Let them fight it out.
**[10:45] Jamesina**
You see?
**[10:46] Jamesina**
They've made friends.
**[10:49] Anne**
How I admire you, Aunt Jamesina!
**[10:53] Jamesina**
But I only keep cats proper.
**[10:57] Jamesina**
You're old enough to know how to
behave if you're ever going to be.
**[11:02] Anne; Priscilla; Philippa; Stella**
Of course.
**[11:03] Jamesina**
But then again,
**[11:05] Jamesina**
as far as I am concerned, you can all
go to destruction in your own way.
**[11:23] Anne**
Gilbert.
**[11:25] Anne**
You would be very unwise.
**[11:36] Anne**
Thank you.
**[11:56] Philippa**
What a dull, interminable day it's been.
**[12:00] Anne**
But to some people, it has
been a wonderful day.
**[12:04] Anne**
And some heart has been broken.
**[12:07] Philippa**
I don't like to think of broken
hearts or anything unpleasant.
**[12:11] Anne**
Do you think you'll be able to shirk
unpleasant things all your life, Phil?
**[12:15] Philippa**
Dear me, no. Am I not up against them now?
**[12:19] Philippa**
Alec and Alonzo simply plague my life out.
**[12:23] Jamesina**
It shouldn't be hard to decide.
**[12:27] Philippa**
I was born a seesaw, Auntie, and nothing
can ever prevent me from teetering.
**[12:34] Philippa**
Oh, I'd marry Gilbert Blythe if he were rich.
**[12:39] Anne**
Gilbert and *you?*
**[12:44] Anne**
You have every right, of course.
**[12:48] Philippa**
Oh, I'm not setting out
to marry Gilbert Blythe.
**[12:54] Philippa**
Perish the thought.
**[12:56] Philippa**
I'll have to marry sometime, I suppose,
**[13:01] Philippa**
but I shall put off the
evil day as long as I can.
**[13:05] Philippa**
In any case, I'm starving *now*.
**[13:09] Anne**
I made a lemon pie this morning.
It's in the pantry.
**[13:12] Philippa**
You're a darling!
**[13:19] Philippa**
May today be a wonderful day for *you!*
**[13:26] Jamesina**
That girl is pretty and
sweet and good-hearted,
**[13:26] Philippa**
Oh, it looks scrumptious! I can't help myself!
**[13:29] Jamesina**
but do you think she is quite
right in her mind, by spells?
**[13:33] Anne**
There's nothing the matter with Phil's mind.
It's just her way of talking.
**[13:39] Anne**
It's a fine day, Rusty.
Shall we go for a walk?
**[13:56] Anne**
Rusty?
**[14:06] Anne**
Hello, Gilbert.
**[14:08] Gilbert**
Hello, Anne.
**[14:10] Anne**
Mayflowers?
**[14:11] Gilbert**
Yes.
**[14:12] Gilbert**
Don't these remind you of home
and our old school-day picnics?
**[14:18] Anne**
Oh, yes.
**[14:20] Gilbert**
I suppose you will be there
in reality in a few days?
**[14:25] Anne**
Yes, once I put the house in order.
**[14:29] Anne**
You'll be in Avonlea before I will.
**[14:32] Gilbert**
No, I shall not be in Avonlea
at all this summer.
**[14:35] Gilbert**
I've been offered a job in the *Daily News*
office and I'm going to take it.
**[14:40] Anne**
*Oh, Phil... Phil, come out this instant.*
**[14:41] Anne**
You mustn't work *too* hard.
**[14:47] Anne**
Isn't this a delightful evening?
**[14:49] Anne**
Do you know, I found a cluster of white violets
under that tree over there?
**[14:55] Anne**
I felt as if I had discovered a gold mine.
**[14:58] Anne**
Let us go and see if we can find some more.
**[15:01] Anne**
I'll call Phil and—
**[15:05] Gilbert**
Never mind Phil and the violets just now.
**[15:09] Gilbert**
There is something I want to say to you.
**[15:12] Anne**
Oh, don't say it. Don't—*please*, Gilbert.
**[15:15] Gilbert**
I must. Things can't go
on like this any longer.
**[15:20] Gilbert**
Anne, I love you.
**[15:23] Gilbert**
You know I do.
**[15:25] Gilbert**
I can't tell you how much.
**[15:28] Gilbert**
Will you promise me that
some day, you'll be my wife?
**[15:36] Anne**
I...
**[15:38] Anne**
I...
**[15:41] Anne**
I can't.
**[15:43] Anne**
Oh, Gilbert, you've spoiled everything.
**[15:55] Gilbert**
How... How do you feel about me?
**[15:59] Anne**
I do care a great deal for you as a friend.
**[16:03] Anne**
But I don't love you, Gilbert.
**[16:07] Gilbert**
But can't you give me some
hope that you will—yet?
**[16:12] Anne**
No, I can't.
**[16:14] Anne**
You must never speak of this to me again.
**[16:17] Anne**
And we *must* go on being friends.
**[16:22] Gilbert**
Friends!
**[16:24] Gilbert**
I want your love—and you tell
me I can never have that.
**[16:31] Anne**
I'm sorry.
**[16:33] Gilbert**
There have been times when
I thought you did care.
**[16:38] Gilbert**
I've deceived myself, that's all.
**[16:44] Gilbert**
Goodbye, Anne.
**[17:06] Philippa**
You are an idiot, Anne Shirley!
**[17:09] Anne**
Do you call it idiotic to refuse
to marry a man I don't love?
**[17:14] Philippa**
You don't know love when you see it.
**[17:18] Philippa**
You've tricked something out with your
imagination that you think love,
**[17:23] Philippa**
and you expect the real
thing to look like that.
**[17:26] Anne**
Phil, please go away and leave
me alone for a little while.
**[17:35] Anne**
My world has tumbled into pieces.
**[17:40] Anne**
I want to reconstruct it.
**[17:43] Philippa**
Without any Gilbert in it?
**[17:50] Anne**
A world without any Gilbert in it?!
**[17:54] Anne**
A world without any Gilbert in it?
**[17:58] Anne**
A world without...
**[18:09] Marilla**
Is that you, Rachel? That was quick.
**[18:13] Anne**
Hello, Marilla.
**[18:16] Marilla**
Anne Shirley!
**[18:18] Marilla**
I never looked for you till tomorrow night.
**[18:21] Anne**
I just got homesick all at once,
and came a day earlier.
**[18:26] Anne**
I've had such a lovely walk,
picking flowers in the twilight.
**[18:30] Anne**
Smell them.
**[18:35] Marilla**
Sit down, child. You must be real tired.
**[18:41] Anne**
I am.
**[18:43] Marilla**
How is Gilbert?
**[18:45] Marilla**
He isn't coming home this summer, I hear.
**[18:49] Anne**
He is.
**[18:53] Davy**
Anne, ain't I glad to see you!
**[18:55] Anne**
Davy!
**[18:57] Davy**
Say, Anne, I've grown
two inches since last fall.
**[19:01] Davy**
And say, Anne, see my
front tooth. It's gone.
**[19:05] Anne**
Goodness! And have you been a good boy?
**[19:08] Davy**
Yes. But say, I'm tired of being good.
**[19:12] Anne**
You'd get tired of being bad much sooner.
**[19:16] Davy**
Well, it'd be fun while
it lasted, wouldn't it?
**[19:20] Davy**
I could be sorry for it
afterwards, couldn't I?
**[19:22] Anne**
Being sorry wouldn't do away with the
consequences of being bad, Davy.
**[19:27] Marilla**
Now, stop talking nonsense
and come have your supper.
**[19:32] Davy; Dora**
All right.
**[19:34] Lynde**
You look well, Anne.
**[19:36] Dora**
Welcome home, Anne.
**[19:39] Anne**
It's good to be home.
**[19:42] Anne**
Thank you very much for having me.
**[19:44] Lavendar**
Seeing you is one of the pleasures
of coming home for the summer.
**[19:50] Anne**
I am so glad our homecomings overlapped.
**[19:53] Anne**
How you've grown, Paul.
**[19:56] Paul**
I'm thirteen now.
**[20:05] Anne**
Where has the summer gone?
**[20:09] Anne**
It doesn't seem a day since I came home
that spring evening with the violets.
**[20:16] Anne**
When I was little, I couldn't see from
one end of the summer to the other.
**[20:23] Anne**
It stretched before me
like an unending season.
**[20:31] Anne**
Now "'tis a handbreadth, 'tis a tale."
**[20:36] Lavendar**
Anne, are you and Gilbert Blythe
as good friends as you used to be?
**[20:43] Anne**
I am just as much Gilbert's
friend as ever I was.
**[20:48] Lavendar**
Have you quarreled?
**[20:51] Anne**
No; it's only that Gilbert
wants more than friendship
**[20:58] Anne**
and I can't give him more.
**[21:01] Lavendar**
Are you sure of that?
**[21:05] Lavendar**
I'm very, very sorry.
**[21:07] Anne**
I wonder why everybody seems to think
I ought to marry Gilbert Blythe.
**[21:14] Lavendar**
Because you were made and meant for
each other, Anne—that is why.
**[21:21] Lavendar**
But you are still young.
**[21:24] Lavendar**
You needn't decide on everything now.
**[21:28] Anne**
Why ever did Gilbert say such things?
**[21:32] Anne**
He must have known I would refuse.
**[21:35] Lavendar**
He probably couldn't help himself.
**[21:38] Lavendar**
That's how much he loves you.

**[00:07] Marilla**
Anne, there's a letter for you.
**[00:09] Anne**
Thank you, Marilla.
**[00:13] Anne**
It's from Philippa.
**[00:15] Anne**
* Having spent the summer of my*
* twentieth year uneventfully in Avonlea,*
**[00:19] Anne**
* I stood ready to begin my junior year*
* at Redmond come fall.*
**[00:22] Anne**
*And then...*
**[00:25] Anne**
Phil is going...
**[00:29] Anne**
to marry a minister?!
***SIGN*** Chapter 21
***SIGN*** Has the Real Prince
Come at Last...?
**[02:08] Philippa**
*Dear Anne—spelled with an* e*,*
**[02:14] Philippa**
*I'm writing to you from Prospect Point.*
**[02:18] Philippa**
*I always like to spend summers at the shore,*
**[02:21] Philippa**
* and this year, I've come to stay*
* with my cousin Emily here.*
**[02:25] Philippa**
* Emily's "select boardinghouse" has*
* five boarders besides myself—*
**[02:30] Philippa**
*four old ladies and one young man.*
**[02:34] Philippa**
*The young man's name is Jonas Blake.*
**[02:38] Philippa**
* The day I arrived, I saw him*
* sitting opposite to me at the table,*
**[02:43] Philippa**
* smiling at me as if he had*
* known me from my cradle.*
**[02:51] (Flashback) Philippa**
Thank you.
**[02:52] (Flashback) Jonas**
You're welcome.
**[02:53] Philippa**
* He is a theological student*
* from St. Columba,*
**[02:56] Philippa**
* and he has taken charge of the Point*
* Prospect Mission Church for the summer.*
**[03:01] Philippa**
* He has a big, loose-jointed*
* figure with absurdly long legs.*
**[03:05] Philippa**
* And his ears—but I never think*
* about his ears if I can help it.*
**[03:13] Philippa**
*But he has a lovely voice.*
**[03:16] Philippa**
*If you shut your eyes and just listen...*
**[03:16] Jonas**
How pleasantly astringent
this tea is. Delightful.
**[03:19] Old Woman**
Indeed it is.
**[03:20] Philippa**
*...he is adorable.*
**[03:21] Jonas**
It's enough to gladden my heart.
**[03:24] Philippa**
*We were good chums right away.*
**[03:27] Philippa**
* Of course he is a graduate of Redmond,*
* and that is a link between us.*
**[03:32] Philippa**
*We fished and boated together;*
**[03:36] Philippa**
*and we walked on the sands by moonlight.*
**[03:40] Philippa**
*By moonlight...*
**[03:42] Philippa**
*oh, he was nice.*
**[03:46] Philippa**
*Niceness fairly exhaled from him.*
**[03:53] Philippa**
* Somehow, Anne, I don't want*
* him to think me frivolous.*
**[03:59] Philippa**
*This is ridiculous.*
**[04:01] Philippa**
* Why should I care what a*
* tow-haired person called Jonas,*
**[04:06] Philippa**
*whom I never saw before, thinks of me?*
**[04:13] Philippa**
* Last Sunday, Jonas preached*
* in the village church.*
**[04:18] (Flashback) Jonas**
Today, I'd like to think about
happiness with you all.
**[04:23] (Flashback) Jonas**
To wit, what is happiness?
**[04:26] Philippa**
*By the time he had preached ten minutes,*
**[04:26] Jonas**
Some people might answer, "to grow wealthy."
**[04:29] Philippa**
*I felt so small and insignificant*
**[04:30] Jonas**
I think that gaining spiritual
riches is a wonderful thing,
**[04:34] Philippa**
* that I thought I must be*
* invisible to the naked eye.*
**[04:34] Jonas**
but seeking only wealth
pushes happiness away.
**[04:39] Philippa**
*Jonas never looked at me.*
**[04:43] Philippa**
* But I realized how horribly different*
* I must be from Jonas's ideal woman.*
**[04:50] Philippa**
*He was so earnest and tender and true.*
**[04:54] Philippa**
*He was everything a minister ought to be.*
**[04:56] Philippa**
*I could have listened forever.*
**[05:00] Philippa**
* He caught up with me on the road home,*
* and grinned as cheerfully as usual.*
**[05:05] Philippa**
*I had seen the* real *Jonas.*
**[05:10] Philippa**
*I wondered if he could
ever see the* real *Phil—*
**[05:17] Philippa**
* whom nobody—not even you,*
* Anne—has ever seen yet.*
**[05:23] (Flashback) Philippa**
Jonas, you were born to be a minister.
**[05:27] (Flashback) Jonas**
You're right.
**[05:28] (Flashback) Jonas**
I tried to be something
else for a long time.
**[05:34] (Flashback) Jonas**
But I came to see at last that it
was the work given me to do—
**[05:40] (Flashback) Jonas**
and God helping me, I shall try to do it.
**[05:45] Philippa**
* I thought that he would do his*
* work and do it well and nobly;*
**[05:51] Philippa**
* and happy the woman fitted*
* to help him do it.*
**[05:57] Philippa**
**She *would be no feather, blown about
by every fickle wind of fancy.*
**[06:07] Philippa**
**She *would always know what hat to put on.*
**[06:12] Philippa**
*Probably she would have only one.*
**[06:15] Philippa**
* But she wouldn't mind having*
* one hat or none at all,*
**[06:19] Philippa**
*because she would have Jonas.*
**[06:22] Philippa**
* Anne, don't you dare to say or hint*
* that I've fallen in love with Jonas.*
**[06:28] Philippa**
* Could I care for a lank,*
* poor, ugly theologue?*
**[06:32] Philippa**
*Good night.*
**[06:35] Philippa**
*P.S. It is impossible—*
**[06:38] Philippa**
*but I am horribly afraid it's true.*
**[06:45] Philippa**
**He *can* never *care for me, I know.*
**[06:51] Philippa**
* Do you think I could ever develop into*
* a passable minister's wife, Anne?*
**[06:58] Philippa**
*And* would *they expect me to lead in prayer?*
**[07:03] Philippa**
*Phil Gordon.*
**[07:09] Anne**
I've an afternoon to spend
in sweet doing nothing.
**[07:14] Anne**
Shall I spend it here where there is a
cozy fire, a plateful of delicious russets,
**[07:20] Anne**
and three purring and harmonious cats?
**[07:26] Anne**
Or shall I go to the park, where
there is the lure of gray woods
**[07:30] Anne**
and of gray water lapping
on the harbor rocks?
**[07:32] Jamesina**
If I was as young as you,
I'd decide in favor of the park.
**[07:36] Anne**
I thought that you claimed to be
as young as any of us, Auntie.
**[07:42] Jamesina**
Yes, in my soul.
**[07:45] Jamesina**
But I'll admit my legs
aren't as young as yours.
**[07:49] Jamesina**
You go and get some fresh air, Anne.
**[07:52] Jamesina**
You look pale lately.
**[07:56] Anne**
I think I will go to the park.
**[07:58] Anne**
I want to feel alone and free and wild.
**[08:02] Jamesina**
Take your umbrella,
for I believe it's going to rain.
**[08:05] Anne**
Rain? I shouldn't think so.
**[08:07] Stella**
You shouldn't flirt so with
Mr. Blake—you really shouldn't.
**[08:10] Philippa**
I'm not flirting with him.
**[08:13] Stella**
You don't fool me. You're amusing yourself.
**[08:19] Stella**
Mr. Blake isn't of the
Alec-and-Alonzo type, Phil.
**[08:22] Stella**
He takes things seriously.
**[08:25] Stella**
You may break his heart.
**[08:30] Philippa**
Do you really think I could?!
**[08:34] Stella**
Philippa Gordon!
**[08:35] Stella**
I never thought you were utterly unfeeling.
**[08:39] Stella**
You are leading that man on deliberately—
**[08:42] Stella**
and you know you don't mean anything by it.
**[08:44] Philippa**
Not so, honey.
**[08:46] Philippa**
I mean to make him ask me
to marry him if I can.
**[08:50] Stella**
I give you up!
**[08:52] Anne**
Stella!
**[08:57] Anne**
Give her a proper explanation later.
**[08:59] Philippa**
You know I will.
**[09:03] Male Student**
Excuse me!
**[09:06] Male Student**
I... I know this is sudden, Anne Shirley.
**[09:09] Male Student**
May I have a moment? Just a moment?
**[09:11] Male Student**
Would you please hear me out?
**[09:14] Anne**
I cannot give you the answer you hope for.
**[09:17] Anne**
I'm sorry.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Anne**
Oh, Gilbert, you've spoiled everything.
**[09:43] Anne**
*If the real Prince Charming will never come,*
**[09:46] Anne**
*I need no substitutes.*
**[10:10] Roy**
Pardon me.
**[10:12] Roy**
May I offer you the shelter of my umbrella?
**[10:21] Anne**
*P-Pri...*
**[10:23] Anne**
*Prince Charming?*
**[10:35] Roy**
You'll get rained on.
**[10:37] Roy**
Come under my umbrella.
**[10:44] Anne**
Th-Thank you.
**[10:47] Roy**
We can wait there until this shower is over.
**[10:56] Anne**
I didn't know what I would do when
my umbrella turned inside out.
**[11:01] Roy**
If you'd like.
**[11:02] Anne**
Oh, I have my own! But thank you.
**[11:10] Roy**
My name is Royal Gardner.
**[11:13] Roy**
And you are the Miss Shirley who wrote
that Tennyson paper, aren't you?
**[11:18] Anne**
Yes, I am.
**[11:19] Roy**
I thought so.
**[11:21] Roy**
Then we are schoolmates, I see.
**[11:24] Anne**
I'm sorry, but I cannot place you at all.
**[11:28] Roy**
I'm sure you can't.
**[11:29] Roy**
I don't belong to any class yet.
**[11:33] Roy**
I put in two years at Redmond,
then I went to Europe for a spell.
**[11:38] Roy**
Now I've come back to finish my arts course.
**[11:41] Anne**
This is my junior year, too.
**[11:44] Roy**
So we are classmates...
**[11:46] Anne**
As well as college-mates!
**[11:51] Roy**
I suddenly regret the two years
I couldn't spend with you.
**[12:01] Roy**
It appears even the weather
has blessed our meeting.
**[12:06] Roy**
Come. I'll walk you home.
**[12:09] Anne**
Oh, you needn't. It isn't far.
**[12:11] Roy**
Come on.
**[12:17] Roy**
What shall I call you, Miss Shirley?
**[12:21] Anne**
Anne. Spelled with an *e*, if you don't mind.
**[12:25] Roy**
Anne. How was that?
**[12:29] Anne**
Perfect.
**[12:31] Roy**
May I see you again, Anne?
**[12:34] Roy**
I'd like to talk at our leisure.
**[12:37] Anne**
Yes. Yes, of course.
**[12:48] Philippa**
Royal Gardner!
**[12:50] Philippa**
Where did you meet him?! Be honest!
**[12:54] Anne**
Today in the park.
**[12:55] Anne**
My umbrella turned inside out and
he came to my rescue with his.
**[13:00] Philippa**
Oh! And is that exceedingly commonplace
incident any reason why he should send us
**[13:07] Philippa**
long-stemmed roses by the dozen,
with a very sentimental rhyme?
**[13:12] Philippa**
"Anne, my life till now has been
but a prologue to meeting you!"
**[13:18] Philippa**
You're blushing rosy-red.
**[13:19] Anne**
Don't talk nonsense, Phil.
**[13:21] Anne**
Do you know Mr. Gardner?
**[13:23] Philippa**
Yes. Roy is adorably handsome and clever.
**[13:27] Anne**
Is that all?
**[13:28] Philippa**
I've met his two sisters.
**[13:31] Philippa**
The Gardners are among the
richest, bluest, of Bluenoses.
**[13:37] Philippa**
Two years ago, his mother's health failed
and he had to go abroad with her.
**[13:44] Philippa**
He must have been greatly disappointed
to have to give up his class,
**[13:50] Philippa**
but they say he was
perfectly sweet about it.
**[13:55] Philippa**
Anne.
**[13:56] Philippa**
I smell romance.
**[13:58] Anne**
You goose.
**[14:15] Philippa**
Anne, delivery for you.
**[14:19] Philippa**
"Your eyes shine like the morning
star at dawn. Roy Gardner."
**[14:25] Stella; Priscilla**
Wow.
**[14:27] Philippa**
"Surely you stole the rosy hue
of your cheeks from the dawn herself."
**[14:33] Philippa**
"Roy Gardner."
**[14:35] Stella; Priscilla**
Wow!
**[14:36] Philippa**
"Your lips are redder than the
roses of paradise. Roy Gardner."
**[14:57] Philippa**
Your dashing prince has arrived!
**[15:02] Philippa**
Why, how handsome you look!
**[15:05] Philippa**
Nine nights out of ten,
I can easily outshine you.
**[15:09] Philippa**
The tenth, you blossom out suddenly into
something that eclipses me altogether.
**[15:14] Anne**
It's the dress, dear.
**[15:15] Philippa**
'Tisn't.
**[15:17] Philippa**
If Roy hadn't already lost head and heart
about you, he certainly would tonight.
**[15:24] Philippa**
But...
**[15:25] Philippa**
that orchid in your hair.
**[15:28] Philippa**
I'm sure it's a present from Roy,
but I don't like orchids on you.
**[15:33] Philippa**
Don't take offense.
**[15:36] Philippa**
Orchids are too affected.
They don't seem to *belong* to you.
**[15:42] Anne**
You think so, too?
**[15:44] Anne**
I admit I'm not fond of orchids myself.
I don't think they're related to me.
**[15:51] Anne**
But today is a special day.
**[15:53] Philippa**
The reception for the seniors. I know.
**[15:57] Philippa**
Look.
**[15:59] Philippa**
Jonas sent me some dear pink
rosebuds for the evening.
**[16:04] Philippa**
But he isn't coming himself.
**[16:06] Philippa**
He said he had to lead a
prayer meeting in the slums.
**[16:12] Anne**
That's a shame.
**[16:13] Philippa**
I don't believe he wanted to come.
**[16:16] Philippa**
Perhaps Jonas doesn't really
care anything about me.
**[16:22] Anne**
Even though he sent you roses?
**[16:24] Philippa**
I know, but I'm horribly afraid.
**[16:27] Philippa**
And I'm trying to decide whether
I'll pine away and die,
**[16:31] Philippa**
or go on and get my B.A. and
be sensible and useful.
**[16:35] Anne**
You couldn't possibly
be sensible and useful,
**[16:39] Anne**
so you'd better pine away and die.
**[16:41] Philippa**
Heartless Anne!
**[16:42] Anne**
Silly Phil!
**[16:44] Anne**
You know quite well that Jonas loves you.
**[16:49] Philippa**
Yes, but he won't *tell* me so.
**[16:52] Philippa**
Not that I expect sentimental rhymes.
**[16:55] Anne**
Mr. Blake is afraid to ask you to marry him.
**[16:58] Anne**
He is poor and can't offer you a
home such as you've always had.
**[17:06] Philippa**
Very well.
**[17:07] Philippa**
If he *won't* ask me to
marry him, I'll ask him.
**[17:11] Philippa**
That's all.
**[17:12] Philippa**
So it's bound to come right.
**[17:14] Anne**
Think hard,
**[17:15] Anne**
and be mindful of Mr. Blake's feelings.
**[17:19] Philippa**
How angry I was when you
refused Gilbert, Anne.
**[17:25] Philippa**
But I was wrong.
**[17:27] Philippa**
Roy Gardner was foreordained for you.
**[17:31] Philippa**
I can see that now.
**[17:33] Philippa**
You were right, after all.
**[17:36] Philippa**
By the way, Gilbert Blythe is going
about constantly with Christine Stuart.
**[17:41] Philippa**
Did you know?
**[17:42] Anne**
No. Who is Christine Stuart?
**[17:44] Philippa**
She's in Kingsport this
winter studying music.
**[17:47] Philippa**
They say she's very pretty and that
Gilbert is quite crazy over her.
**[17:56] Jamesina**
Mr. Gardner, you're the nicest
young man I ever did see.
**[18:00] Roy**
Oh, I'm sure I'm not.
**[18:02] Jamesina**
Anne is a very fortunate girl
to have met you.
**[18:08] Roy**
Anne.
**[18:09] Roy**
You look radiant this evening.
**[18:12] Anne**
Thank you.
**[18:13] Roy**
That orchid looks lovely on you.
**[18:25] Roy**
Anne.
**[18:27] Roy**
We still have time.
**[18:28] Roy**
Would you mind a slight detour?
**[18:34] Roy**
We met here, at this very spot.
**[18:37] Anne**
Yes. It was an awful squall.
**[18:41] Anne**
But we've fine weather today.
**[18:44] Roy**
Meeting you that day was the
greatest event of my life.
**[18:51] Anne**
And mine, Roy.
**[18:53] Roy**
Anne, I want to tell you plainly.
**[18:57] Roy**
I love you.
**[19:00] Roy**
I'm infatuated with you.
**[19:03] Roy**
I can't imagine life without you.
**[19:07] Roy**
Would you...
**[19:09] Roy**
be mine?
**[19:23] Roy**
Anne...
**[19:25] Roy**
Anne.
**[19:28] Roy**
Forgive me. Did I startle you?
**[19:31] Anne**
A little.
**[19:32] Roy**
Then...
**[19:34] Anne**
Yes.
**[19:35] Anne**
Me, too.
**[19:40] Anne**
* The prince of my dreams just*
* professed his love for me.*
**[19:44] Anne**
*A touch forcefully, I admit.*
**[19:48] Anne**
*I've paid a high price for this day,*
**[19:51] Anne**
* waited so long to hear*
* my prince say that he loves me.*
**[19:56] Anne**
*But...*
**[19:57] Anne**
*I didn't blush.*
**[20:00] Anne**
*I didn't burst into tears.*
**[20:09] Roy**
They seem to be enjoying themselves.
**[20:11] Anne**
Yes, they do.
**[20:13] Gilbert**
You went to the concert the
other day, didn't you?
**[20:16] Christine**
Yes.
**[20:17] Gilbert**
So, what did you think?
**[20:19] Christine**
Oh, it was marvelous.
**[20:26] Anne**
I'll just run to the dressing room.
**[20:32] Anne**
What is the matter with me?
**[20:34] Anne**
Something doesn't sit right.
**[20:45] Roy**
Anne! Here I am.
**[20:46] Anne**
Oh. Thank you for waiting.
**[20:59] Gilbert**
Hello, Anne. How have you been?
**[21:02] Anne**
W-Well.
**[21:04] Anne**
It's been a while, hasn't it?
**[21:06] Gilbert**
Roy sought us out and made a
point to introduce himself.
**[21:11] Roy**
I'd heard you were childhood friends.
**[21:14] Gilbert**
Oh, I'll introduce you.
**[21:16] Gilbert**
Meet Miss Christine Stuart, future musician.
**[21:20] Christine**
It's so nice to meet you.
**[21:22] Anne**
I'm Anne Shirley.
**[21:23] Christine**
You're childhood friends?
**[21:25] Gilbert**
We grew up on Prince Edward Island,
in a village called Avonlea.
**[21:25] Anne**
* She looks just as I've*
* always wanted to look.*
**[21:30] Anne**
* Rose-leaf complexion—*
* starry violet eyes—raven hair...*
**[21:36] Roy**
I know, Anne.
**[21:39] Roy**
Why don't you show me around
Avonlea one of these days?
**[21:42] Roy**
And Gilbert, too, if he's willing.
**[21:46] Gilbert**
Yes, of course, Roy.
**[21:49] Christine**
Then I'll join you!
**[21:51] Christine**
I'd like to see it, too, Gil.
**[21:53] Christine**
Do you mind, Anne?
**[21:55] Anne**
No, of course not, Christine.
**[21:59] Anne**
*But...*
**[22:00] Anne**
* I don't believe her*
* nose is as good as mine.*

**[00:02] Anne**
* With the final examinations*
* of our junior year before us,*
**[00:05] Anne**
*we were studying hard.*
**[00:08] Philippa**
I'm going to take a scholarship in mathematics.
**[00:12] Priscilla**
Mathematics will be a hurdle.
**[00:15] Priscilla**
Don't you do better at Greek?
**[00:18] Stella**
What do you even need
a scholarship for? You're rich.
**[00:22] Philippa**
I want to prove to Jonas that
I'm really enormously clever.
**[00:25] Anne**
Jonas will content himself with your
big, brown eyes and your crooked smile.
**[00:31] Jamesina**
Times have changed, I suppose.
**[00:34] Jamesina**
Can you cook, Phil?
**[00:38] Philippa**
No, I never cooked anything in my life
except a gingerbread and it was a failure.
**[00:44] Philippa**
But don't you think I could cook
if I began in good earnest to learn?
**[00:48] Jamesina**
I hope so.
**[00:53] Anne**
It's from our landlady, Miss Patty.
**[00:56] Anne**
She says that we can have
Patty's Place for another year!
**[01:00] Philippa; Priscilla; Stella**
Really?!
**[01:02] Anne**
"Maria and I are going to run over Egypt."
**[01:06] Anne**
"I want to see the Sphinx once before I die."
**[01:10] Priscilla**
"Run over Egypt"!
**[01:12] Priscilla**
I wonder if they'll look up
at the Sphinx and knit.
**[01:16] Stella**
In any case, we can live together another year.
**[01:19] Priscilla**
Yes!
**[01:20] Anne**
I'm so glad!
**[01:22] Anne**
Aren't you, Phil?
**[01:24] Anne**
Phil?
**[01:29] Philippa**
I'm off for a tramp in the park.
**[01:32] Philippa**
Anne, how about a break? Come with me.
***SIGN*** Chapter 22
***SIGN*** How Horrible It Is
That People Have to Grow Up,
and Marry, and Change!
**[03:19] Philippa**
I'd go home and write a poem
this blessed minute if I only knew how.
**[03:22] Philippa**
Anne, I'm the happiest girl in the world.
**[03:27] Anne**
So Mr. Blake has asked you
to marry him at last, Phil?
**[03:32] Philippa**
And I sneezed three times
while he was asking me.
**[03:43] Philippa**
We're to be married a year from next June.
**[03:46] Anne**
Oh, Phil, congratulations.
**[03:48] Philippa**
I still can't really believe that
Jonas cares for frivolous me.
**[03:55] Anne**
You're not really frivolous.
**[03:57] Anne**
I know underneath that frivolous exterior,
you've got a dear, loyal little soul.
**[04:06] Philippa**
Jonas graduates from St. Columba this spring,
**[04:09] Philippa**
then he's going to take
a mission church in the slums.
**[04:12] Philippa**
But I'd go there or to
Greenland's icy mountains with him.
**[04:18] Anne**
And this is the girl who would
*never* marry a man who wasn't rich.
**[04:23] Philippa**
I shall be poor as gaily
as I've been rich. You'll see.
**[04:27] Philippa**
Anne.
**[04:28] Philippa**
All Redmond knows that Roy is crazy about you.
**[04:33] Philippa**
And you do love him, don't you?
**[04:35] Anne**
I...
**[04:40] Anne**
Yes, I suppose I do.
**[04:45] Roy**
*Dearest Anne,*
**[04:47] Roy**
*Your smile, the light of many thousand stars.*
**[04:51] Roy**
*Your clear voice, raindrops on the river's face.*
**[04:54] Roy**
*Your warmth...*
**[04:58] Anne**
"...has lit forever my heart's fires."
**[05:04] Anne**
My.
**[05:05] Anne**
Not exactly up to the level
of Keats or Shakespeare,
**[05:07] Anne**
but I think it quite a fine love poem
to send an odd duck like me.
**[05:14] Anne**
Gilbert could never have
written it, at any rate.
**[05:21] Anne**
Gilbert has found a
fine girl of his own to love,
**[05:25] Anne**
Phil is engaged to Jonas,
**[05:27] Anne**
and Diana has Fred.
**[05:30] Anne**
Will Roy and I be married someday, too?
**[05:34] Anne**
Well, Rusty?
**[05:41] Roy**
Anne, as ever, your beauty dazzles me.
**[05:47] Anne**
Oh, Roy, you make me blush.
**[05:50] Anne**
And you're far handsomer than I am.
**[05:56] Anne**
Christine!
**[05:58] Christine**
Anne! And Roy, too!
**[06:00] Christine**
It's so nice to see you again!
**[06:02] Roy**
Oh, we met at the reception the other day.
**[06:06] Roy**
You're Gilbert's...?
**[06:08] Anne**
Yes, "Gilbert's..."
**[06:10] Anne**
I haven't seen him lately. Is he well?
**[06:13] Christine**
Yes. Gilbert took off today.
**[06:17] Christine**
Oh, I'd love to stay and chat,
**[06:19] Christine**
but I'm keeping a professor waiting.
**[06:22] Anne**
Please, don't let us keep you.
**[06:24] Christine**
I'll give Gilbert your best.
**[06:26] Christine**
Good day!
**[06:29] Anne**
Let's go.
**[06:30] Roy**
Let's.
**[06:32] Anne**
*My junior year concluded,*
**[06:34] Anne**
*and I returned to Avonlea for Diana's wedding.*
**[06:48] Diana**
Oh.
**[06:49] Diana**
The top two are delicate.
Be careful moving them.
**[06:53] Servant**
Yes, ma'am.
**[06:54] Diana**
I'm sorry, Anne.
And after you've come all this way.
**[06:58] Diana**
I'm simply frantic getting ready
for the party and moving house.
**[07:02] Anne**
It's all right.
**[07:03] Anne**
Only...
**[07:04] Anne**
I never dreamed the day I'd be your
bridesmaid would come so soon.
**[07:18] Diana**
Oh, Anne. I'll only be two miles away.
**[07:23] Diana**
And I hear you've finally met your ideal man.
**[07:27] Diana**
It's a shame about Gilbert,
**[07:29] Diana**
but you know your mind best.
**[07:32] Diana**
I'll give you my blessing.
**[07:37] Davy**
The new teacher gave me
*ten sums* to do for Monday.
**[07:43] Davy**
If that's not mean, what is? I want to know.
**[07:46] Lynde**
Davy, don't talk like that about your—
**[07:51] Davy**
Anne!
**[07:53] Dora**
Welcome home, Anne!
**[07:55] Anne**
It's good to be home.
**[07:56] Marilla**
Have you seen Diana?
**[07:59] Anne**
Yes.
**[08:00] Anne**
It seems so funny and horrible
to think of Diana's being married.
**[08:03] Lynde**
I don't see what's horrible about it.
**[08:06] Lynde**
Fred Wright has a fine farm
and he is a model young man.
**[08:11] Anne**
Fred is extremely good.
**[08:14] Lynde**
Then what—
**[08:15] Marilla**
Would you want Diana to
marry a wicked man instead?
**[08:18] Marilla**
Or marry one yourself?
**[08:22] Anne**
Oh, no.
**[08:24] Anne**
But I think I'd like someone who
*could* be wicked and *wouldn't*.
**[08:32] Marilla**
You'll have more sense some day, I hope.
**[08:35] Marilla**
Davy, come help me.
**[08:38] Davy**
Aw, do I have to?
**[08:40] Anne**
Is something the matter with Marilla?
**[08:42] Lynde**
She's disappointed because
she heard you refused Gilbert Blythe.
**[08:48] Anne**
Who told her that?
**[08:51] Dora**
Everyone in Avonlea knows it, Anne.
**[09:00] Anne**
*How did word get out?*
**[09:03] Anne**
* Perhaps Charlie Sloane*
* told his guesses for truth again.*
**[09:09] Anne**
* Don't tell me Diana told Fred,*
* and Fred let it slip!*
**[09:16] Anne**
Tell me, Matthew,
**[09:17] Anne**
why does everyone want to
see me married to Gilbert?
**[09:22] Anne**
Why can't we stay the best of friends?
**[09:27] Anne**
I only wanted to preserve our friendship.
**[09:35] Lynde**
If she isn't marrying for money,
**[09:37] Lynde**
and she likes this handsome
Roy better than Gilbert,
**[09:41] Lynde**
there's nothing more to be said. Still...
**[09:45] Marilla**
Anne wouldn't be so mercenary.
**[09:48] Marilla**
I have no fear on that account.
**[09:51] Marilla**
Only...
**[09:54] Marilla**
I can't help feeling that
something has gone awry.
**[10:04] Lynde**
Do you worry Anne will repeat your mistakes?
**[10:10] Lynde**
Don't.
**[10:11] Lynde**
What is to be, will be.
**[10:20] Davy**
Anne's in, ain't she?!
**[10:21] Lynde**
You scared me half to death!
**[10:24] Lynde**
Another letter from Prince Charming?
**[10:26] Davy**
No!
**[10:27] Dora**
I'll give it to her!
**[10:41] Anne**
Diana, a handsome prince at Redmond
**[10:45] Anne**
sends me love letters
and flowers two times a week.
**[10:50] Anne**
Can you believe it?
**[10:53] Davy**
Anne!
**[10:55] Davy**
You got this from Gilbert!
**[10:57] Anne**
Gilbert?
**[11:05] Dora**
What does he say?
**[11:07] Anne**
It's... a copy of some college society report.
**[11:13] Davy**
What?
**[11:14] Davy**
What did Gilbert want to send
a dull, old thing like that for?
**[11:19] Dora**
Davy.
**[11:21] Dora**
Come on.
**[11:21] Davy**
Huh? Hey, where are we going?
**[11:34] Anne**
*Dearest Roy,*
**[11:37] Anne**
* How empty and barren*
* are my days without you.*
**[11:42] Anne**
* Once my bosom friend*
* Diana is safely married,*
**[11:46] Anne**
* I shall return to Redmond,*
* even if I must swim the channel.*
**[11:51] Anne**
*Yours truly, Anne.*
**[12:07] Anne**
Diana...
**[12:12] Anne**
Oh, how horrible it is
that people have to grow up,
**[12:17] Anne**
and marry, and *change!*
**[12:55] Anne**
After all, the only real roses
are the pink ones.
**[12:57] Anne**
They are the flowers of love and faith.
**[13:04] Anne**
It's all pretty much as
I used to imagine it long ago,
**[13:08] Anne**
when I wept over your inevitable marriage
and our consequent parting.
**[13:16] Anne**
You are the bride of my dreams.
**[13:22] Anne**
And I am your bridesmaid.
**[13:25] Anne**
But I haven't the puffed sleeves,
nor do I exactly hate Fred.
**[13:32] Diana**
We are not really parting, Anne.
**[13:36] Diana**
We've always kept that "oath" of friendship
we swore long ago, haven't we?
**[13:43] Diana**
We'll love each other just as much as ever.
**[13:46] Anne**
But things can't be quite the same after this.
You'll have other interests.
**[13:53] Anne**
I'll be a distant second or third to you.
**[13:58] Diana**
The mean thing about your getting married
**[14:01] Diana**
is that I won't be able to be *your* bridesmaid.
**[14:05] Anne**
You know the proverb,
**[14:07] Anne**
"three times a bridesmaid, never a bride."
**[14:09] Anne**
I'm to be Phil's next, and then I must stop.
**[14:22] Anne**
Here comes the minister!
**[14:25] Diana**
Oh, Anne, what shall I do? I'm...
**[14:28] Diana**
I'm so nervous.
**[14:30] Diana**
I know I'm going to faint.
**[14:33] Anne**
If you do, I'll drag you down to the
rainwater hogshead and drop you in.
**[14:39] Anne**
Getting married can't be so very terrible
when so many people survive the ceremony.
**[14:45] Diana**
Wait till your turn comes, Miss Anne.
**[14:51] Anne**
You look just lovely, Diana.
**[14:54] Anne**
Kiss me goodbye for the last time.
**[14:56] Anne**
Diana Barry will never kiss me again.
**[15:03] Diana**
Diana Wright will, though.
**[15:22] Anne**
Gilbert?
**[15:24] Gilbert**
Anne.
**[15:25] Gilbert**
Oh, Fred asked me to be his best man.
**[15:29] Anne**
*Diana...*
**[15:31] Gilbert**
I only just arrived.
**[15:34] Anne**
Oh. I'm glad you made it in time.
**[15:54] Gilbert**
It's tradition.
**[16:09] Davy**
Anne!
**[16:10] Charlie**
Gilbert!
**[16:11] Gilbert**
Hello, Charlie.
**[16:12] Lynde**
What a fine-looking pair they are.
**[16:53] Anne**
*The wedding began.*
**[16:56] Anne**
* Diana did not faint, and nothing untoward*
* occurred to interrupt the ceremony.*
**[17:21] Anne**
* The merrymaking that followed*
* was awash in dear, familiar faces.*
**[17:30] All**
Cheers!
**[17:32] All**
To Diana and Fred!
**[17:36] Josie**
Gilbert, I hear Anne jilted you again.
**[17:40] Josie**
You never learn your lesson.
**[17:42] Anne**
W-Wait! Josie?!
**[17:44] Josie**
Why, everyone knows it.
**[17:47] Anne**
But even so...
**[17:51] Moody**
Another toast, then!
**[17:54] Jane**
To poor Gilbert!
**[17:56] Anne**
Jane?!
**[17:57] All but Anne**
To poor Gilbert!
**[18:00] Anne**
Really!
**[18:02] All**
Cheers!
**[18:04] Moody**
Again!
**[18:05] Anne**
Oh, no! Moody, are you drunk?!
**[18:08] Moody**
Me, drunk? Not a bit of it!
**[18:08] Fred**
Diana?
**[18:12] Marilla**
Anne, we'll excuse ourselves now.
**[18:16] Anne**
I understand, Marilla.
**[18:23] Dora**
Till next time, Gilbert!
**[18:26] Gilbert**
Yes, till next time.
**[18:29] Davy**
Bye-bye!
**[18:35] Gilbert**
Congratulations! Be happy!
**[18:39] Fred**
Thank you! Thank you!
**[18:41] Diana**
Thank you all so much for coming!
**[18:43] Diana**
We'll have wonderful memories to look back on!
**[18:51] Moody**
Fred! Don't fall off the cart!
**[18:54] Fred**
I've got it in hand!
**[18:58] All**
Congratulations! Be happy!
**[19:02] Anne**
Diana! Diana!
**[19:05] Diana**
Thank you all!
**[19:07] Diana**
Thank you, Anne!
**[19:10] Anne**
Diana...
**[19:41] Gilbert**
Fred told me he was so nervous
he couldn't sleep a wink last night.
**[19:49] Anne**
His face was so red, I thought he'd gotten
drunk before the ceremony even started!
**[19:55] Gilbert**
So did I!
**[19:58] Anne**
Thank goodness.
**[20:01] Anne**
Oh, nothing.
**[20:08] Gilbert**
There are the skies of Avonlea.
**[20:10] Anne**
Yes.
**[20:12] Gilbert**
Anne?
**[20:14] Gilbert**
Can we take a ramble to sober up?
**[20:17] Anne**
Good idea.
**[20:19] Anne**
Marilla and Mrs. Lynde will be shocked
if I go home with my face all red.
**[20:26] Anne**
*I have Roy, and Gilbert has Christine.*
**[20:30] Anne**
* How funny. It's thanks to Christine*
* that I can be with Gilbert.*
**[20:37] Gilbert**
Are you going to be in Avonlea all summer?
**[20:40] Anne**
No. I'm going to a school
down east next week.
**[20:44] Anne**
They want me to substitute.
**[20:47] Gilbert**
And waste your summer break?
**[20:49] Anne**
Yes, but in a way I don't mind.
**[20:55] Anne**
I don't understand it myself.
**[20:57] Anne**
I used to think nowhere on earth
could be as lovely as Avonlea,
**[21:01] Anne**
but I'm beginning to feel like a stranger here.
**[21:05] Anne**
It makes me sorry, but it's true.
**[21:08] Anne**
It's quite appalling to see
the number of children
**[21:12] Anne**
who have shot up
these past three years.
**[21:14] Anne**
Half of my pupils are grown up.
**[21:18] Anne**
It's a wonderful thing,
**[21:20] Anne**
but it makes me feel awfully old to see them
**[21:26] Anne**
in the places you and I
and our mates used to fill.
**[21:33] Anne**
That's what made today such fun.
**[21:36] Anne**
It was like we had all gone back
to those days together.
**[21:42] Anne**
It was so...
**[21:44] Gilbert**
"So wags the world away."
**[21:47] Anne**
Gilbert?
**[21:51] Gilbert**
You'll find somewhere new, Anne.
**[21:59] Gilbert**
Somewhere worthy of you.

**[00:01] Anne**
*My last year at Redmond has begun.*
**[00:05] Anne**
*We fought for graduation honors,*
**[00:08] Anne**
*poring over classics*
**[00:10] Anne**
*and pounding away at mathematics.*
**[00:13] Anne**
* Sometimes we grew tired.*
* Sometimes we felt discouraged.*
**[00:21] Anne**
Come in.
**[00:22] Stella**
Oh, I've had enough!
**[00:26] Stella**
Nothing seems worthwhile.
**[00:31] Stella**
What are you laughing over?
**[00:33] Anne**
Just looking over some old Story Club yarns.
**[00:38] Anne**
I wanted some relief,
so I dug these out of my trunk.
**[00:42] Anne**
They are so drenched in tears and tragedy
that they are excruciatingly funny.
**[00:47] Stella**
I'm blue and discouraged myself.
**[00:52] Stella**
But there's nothing funny about it.
**[00:54] Stella**
What is the use of living after all, Anne?
**[00:59] Anne**
You should read this.
**[01:04] Stella**
"My Graves"?
**[01:06] Anne**
My masterpiece.
**[01:07] Anne**
Mr. Harrison would say it's about people
I don't know in places I know no better.
**[01:14] Anne**
Phil would say it's killing—
in more sense than one,
**[01:19] Anne**
for nobody in it can escape being murdered
or else dying of a broken heart.
**[01:28] Anne**
Doesn't it make you laugh?
**[01:30] Anne**
I'm sure I wanted to wax sentimental.
**[01:33] Anne**
Although I was surrounded by dear
things whether I shed tears or not.
**[01:38] Anne**
I see that now.
**[01:44] Anne**
What's this?
**[01:47] Anne**
Oh, yes. I remember.
**[01:49] Anne**
It's a little dialogue in a garden
blooming with asters and sweet-peas,
**[01:53] Anne**
between a visiting wild canary and
the guardian spirit of the place.
**[01:58] Anne**
I recall the day I wrote it.
**[02:01] Anne**
I fell through the roof of the
Cobb duck house on Tory Road.
**[02:10] Anne**
Marilla scolded me something fierce.
**[02:21] Anne**
I believe I will.

**[03:58] Philippa**
Thank you.
**[04:01] Philippa**
Three for Stella.
**[04:04] Philippa**
Two for Prissy.
**[04:05] Priscilla**
Thank you.
**[04:07] Philippa**
Here is a letter with an Indian
stamp for you, Aunt Jimsie.
**[04:13] Priscilla**
Who could be writing from India?
**[04:16] Stella**
One of Auntie's three devotees, no doubt.
**[04:21] Philippa**
There's nothing for you,
Anne, except a circular.
**[04:25] Philippa**
And this glorious fat one
is for me from Jonas.
**[04:31] Philippa**
Honey, what good thing has happened?
**[04:34] Anne**
The *Youth's Friend* has accepted a little
sketch I sent them a fortnight ago!
**[04:41] Philippa**
Anne Shirley!
**[04:42] Philippa**
When is it to be published?
Did they pay you for it?
**[04:45] Anne**
They've sent a check for ten dollars,
**[04:48] Anne**
and the editor writes that he would
like to see more of my work.
**[04:52] Philippa**
What was it?
**[04:54] Anne**
It was an old sketch set in Avonlea.
**[04:58] Anne**
I rewrote it and sent it in, but I never
really thought it could be accepted,
**[05:04] Anne**
because it had no tragedy,
romance, or even a plot.
**[05:07] Philippa**
What are you going to do
with that ten dollars?
**[05:10] Philippa**
Let's all go up town and get drunk!
**[05:13] Stella**
Oh, Phil.
**[05:15] Priscilla**
Think of having a real live
author at Patty's Place!
**[05:18] Jamesina**
It's a great responsibility.
**[05:21] Priscilla**
Indeed it is.
**[05:23] Priscilla**
Authors are kittle cattle. You never
know when or how they will break out.
**[05:26] Stella**
Yes.
**[05:27] Stella**
Anne may make copy of *us*.
**[05:30] Philippa; Priscilla**
Oh, what a horrible thought!
**[05:32] Anne**
I would never.
**[05:35] Jamesina**
I meant that the ability to write for
the Press was a great responsibility.
**[05:46] Roy**
That's marvelous.
**[05:47] Anne**
But I've only had short pieces accepted yet.
**[05:52] Roy**
I believe you have a God-given talent.
**[05:57] Anne**
I don't know about that,
but I mean to continue.
**[06:01] Anne**
I'd like to write better stories.
**[06:04] Roy**
I'm behind you.
**[06:05] Roy**
I know you could become a great author.
**[06:09] Anne**
Thank you.
**[06:14] Anne**
*Look at them mooning.*
**[06:17] Roy**
By the way, shall you be
home Saturday afternoon?
**[06:20] Anne**
Y-Yes.
**[06:22] Roy**
My mother and sisters are
coming to call on you.
**[06:26] Anne**
What?!
**[06:27] Roy**
I'm sorry to spring this on you.
**[06:29] Anne**
N-No,
**[06:31] Anne**
I shall be glad to see them.
**[06:35] Philippa**
Roy's mother is coming herself?
**[06:38] Philippa**
Well, I suppose it was inevitable.
**[06:40] Philippa**
Anyway, she must view you as a
possible member of the clan.
**[06:46] Philippa**
You'll be weighed in the balance, Anne.
**[06:50] Stella**
Phil, is that any way to put it?
**[06:53] Anne**
It's all right.
**[06:54] Anne**
I shall not *try* to make a good impression.
**[06:58] Anne**
I shall just be myself.
**[07:05] Anne**
Tomorrow is Saturday.
**[07:06] Anne**
What shall I wear to meet them?
**[07:09] Stella**
This is Roy's mother, remember.
You'd better dress good and proper.
**[07:13] Anne**
You're probably right.
**[07:15] Jamesina**
Stella, tidy up a bit.
**[07:18] Jamesina**
The place looks a mess.
**[07:19] Stella**
I can't help it.
**[07:21] Stella**
I can't write so much as one
page of a report any other way.
**[07:25] Anne**
Should I do my hair up high, do you think?
**[07:29] Priscilla**
There! That's the chocolate cake done!
**[07:33] Jamesina**
My, but that does look good.
**[07:36] Priscilla**
Come on, Anne.
Stop brooding and come to tea.
**[07:40] Anne**
All right.
**[07:43] Philippa**
That smells divine.
**[07:44] Priscilla**
Doesn't it?
**[07:50] Priscilla**
And here I spent half a day baking it!
**[07:54] Philippa**
Don't worry. It's still edible.
**[07:57] Philippa**
Anne, get a dishcloth from the kitchen.
**[08:00] Anne**
All right.
**[08:05] Philippa**
Would you answer that, Stella?
**[08:08] Philippa**
It must be the new hat I ordered.
**[08:11] Stella**
Then you answer it.
**[08:13] Stella**
I'm at an important part.
**[08:19] Philippa**
Oh, fine, then.
**[08:21] Philippa**
Thank you for—
**[08:23] Gardner**
Is this Patty's Place?
**[08:27] Philippa**
Yes.
**[08:28] Gardner**
My name is Gardner.
**[08:31] Philippa**
*M-Mrs. Gardner?*
**[08:33] Gardner**
Is Miss Anne Shirley at home?
**[08:36] Philippa**
J-Just one moment.
**[08:38] Philippa**
W-We have an emergency!
It's Mrs. Gardner.
**[08:41] Anne; Priscilla; Stella**
What?!
**[08:42] Priscilla**
Wasn't she coming tomorrow?!
**[08:43] Anne**
Mrs. Gardner?!
**[08:44] Philippa**
Don't ask me!
**[08:45] Philippa**
Anyway, she's here now!
**[08:47] Philippa**
Anne, hurry and change clothes.
**[08:48] Philippa**
Stella, tidy up that mess!
**[08:52] Priscilla**
What about the cake?
**[08:55] Philippa**
Throw that dishcloth over it for now!
**[09:01] Philippa**
Hello. So sorry to keep you waiting.
**[09:05] Philippa**
My name is Philippa Gordon.
**[09:09] Philippa**
I'm Anne Shirley's classmate.
**[09:11] Philippa**
Roy has always been very kind to me.
**[09:16] Gardner**
Well?
**[09:18] Gardner**
Is Miss Anne Shirley at home?
**[09:21] Philippa**
Yes, she'll be with us in a moment.
**[09:23] Philippa**
Wh-Why, here she comes now!
**[09:27] Anne**
I-It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[09:29] Anne**
I'm Anne Shirley.
**[09:32] Anne**
Welcome to Patty's Place.
**[09:36] Gardner**
These are my daughters,
Aline and Dorothy.
**[09:39] Dorothy**
Pleased to meet you.
**[09:40] Anne**
The pleasure is mine. I'm Anne.
**[09:46] Anne**
*What now? I must say* something*.*
**[09:50] Anne**
Um...
**[09:57] Aline**
What rude creatures!
**[09:58] Anne**
Joseph! Rusty!
**[10:01] Gardner**
Miss Shirley.
**[10:02] Anne**
Yes?
**[10:02] Gardner**
You are...
**[10:04] Gardner**
fond of cats?
**[10:06] Anne**
Well, yes.
**[10:08] Gardner**
I have never liked cats.
**[10:12] Anne**
Y-You don't say.
**[10:15] Dorothy**
I love them!
**[10:17] Dorothy**
They are so nice and selfish.
**[10:21] Dorothy**
Dogs are *too* good and unselfish.
**[10:24] Dorothy**
But cats are gloriously human.
**[10:27] Gardner**
You hold your tongue.
**[10:29] Aline**
You have two delightful
old china dogs there.
**[10:34] Aline**
May I look at them closely?
**[10:37] Anne**
Yes, go ahead.
**[10:39] Aline**
What breed of dogs are they, I wonder.
**[10:42] Anne**
I c-couldn't say.
**[10:50] Aline**
Here, now!
**[10:51] Aline**
Stop that!
**[10:55] Dorothy**
Aline! Are you hurt?
**[10:58] Aline**
Really, is it any wonder I detest cats?!
**[11:02] Gardner**
Tell me, Miss Shirley.
**[11:04] Anne**
Y-Yes?
**[11:05] Gardner**
What are your intentions concerning my son?
**[11:10] Gardner**
If—
**[11:12] Dorothy**
My.
**[11:16] Gardner**
Well then, if you will excuse us.
**[11:19] Anne**
Please, take care.
**[11:27] Dorothy**
Anne!
**[11:29] Dorothy**
Roy has told me all about you.
**[11:32] Dorothy**
I'm the only one of the
family he tells things to.
**[11:37] Dorothy**
Nobody *could* confide in
mamma and Aline, you know.
**[11:41] Dorothy**
I *know* you and I are going to be chums.
**[11:47] Anne**
Yes. Thank you, Dorothy.
**[11:51] Dorothy**
What glorious times you
girls must have here!
**[11:54] Dorothy**
Won't you let me come often
and have a share in them?
**[11:58] Anne**
Of course.
**[12:00] Anne**
Come as often as you like.
**[12:04] Jamesina**
People who send word they are coming
on Saturday shouldn't come on Friday.
**[12:09] Philippa**
Where is Anne?
**[12:10] Stella**
Upstairs.
**[12:12] Anne**
Dorothy...
**[12:13] Anne**
is a really cheerful dear.
**[12:16] Anne**
Aline...
**[12:17] Anne**
will never like me. That much is certain.
**[12:20] Anne**
And Mrs. Gardner...
**[12:24] Anne**
Still, Rusty and Joseph,
what a welcome you gave them.
**[12:45] Roy**
How were your examinations?
**[12:47] Anne**
I've done all that I can.
**[12:49] Anne**
All that remains is to
await the results.
**[12:51] Roy**
Don't worry. I know you'll do well.
**[12:55] Anne**
Thank you.
**[12:56] Roy**
I can see it now.
**[13:01] Roy**
If it's about the visit, I told
you it was to be Saturday.
**[13:06] Dorothy**
I said the same thing, but
mother insisted it was Friday.
**[13:11] Gardner**
You always make out that I am to blame.
**[13:14] Gardner**
I suppose you resent me for making
you accompany me to Europe.
**[13:20] Roy**
Of course not.
**[13:23] Gardner**
Oh, I do not feel well.
**[13:26] Gardner**
I fear that I may take ill again.
**[13:30] Anne**
Um...
**[13:31] Anne**
I'm sorry that we weren't able to show
you much hospitality the other day.
**[13:36] Anne**
And the cats were too awful.
**[13:39] Anne**
But I'm glad that you came on Friday.
**[13:44] Anne**
If I had waited for you all until Saturday,
**[13:47] Anne**
I know my heart would have been
crushed under the strain.
**[13:53] Anne**
Your coming rescued it.
**[13:56] Anne**
Thank you.
**[14:00] Roy**
Mother...
**[14:01] Roy**
has been especially sensitive about
many things since her illness.
**[14:05] Roy**
She must have given you an awful time.
**[14:08] Anne**
No, I hope you'll all come again,
if you can bear it.
**[14:15] Anne**
*Roy really is like a prince in a story.*
**[14:19] Anne**
*Gilbert never could be.*
**[14:24] Anne**
*So why do I...*
**[14:28] Anne**
* A few days later,*
* the examination results were posted.*
**[14:31] Anne; Philippa; Priscilla; Stella**
Done at last!
**[14:32] Anne**
* Prissy took Honors in Classics,*
* and Phil in Mathematics.*
**[14:36] Anne**
*Stella obtained a good all-round showing.*
**[14:39] Anne**
*I managed to take Highest Honors in English.*
**[14:44] Priscilla**
Do you realize that our life
together is almost over?
**[14:48] Stella**
Yes.
**[14:49] Philippa**
We can always get together.
**[14:51] Anne**
Yes. Let's look on the
bright side of things.
**[14:54] Priscilla**
It won't be so easy.
**[14:55] Priscilla**
Phil will be Mrs. Blake once she graduates.
**[14:58] Stella**
She'll be a minister's wife,
**[15:00] Stella**
far too busy to spare time for us.
**[15:04] Philippa**
Yes. I'll be a little candlestick
to light Jonas's way.
**[15:10] Priscilla**
And Roy will propose soon, won't he, Anne?
**[15:13] Anne**
Will he? I wonder.
**[15:15] Priscilla**
No doubt of it!
**[15:17] Priscilla**
It will be rather lonesome.
**[15:18] Philippa**
What are you moping for?
**[15:21] Anne**
*And the morning of Convocation...*
**[15:24] Anne**
Yes?
**[15:26] Jamesina**
Good morning, Anne.
**[15:28] Jamesina**
Delivery for you.
**[15:33] Roy**
*Dearest Anne,*
**[15:34] Roy**
* No doubt your brilliance will*
* dazzle my eyes on graduation day.*
**[15:39] Roy**
*Royal Gardner.*
**[15:54] Roy**
That concludes my address.
**[15:56] Roy**
Thank you all for listening.
**[15:58] Roy**
I am Royal Gardner,
speaking for the graduating class.
**[16:05] Chancellor**
We anticipate your accomplishments.
**[16:07] Female Student**
Thank you, sir.
**[16:12] Chancellor**
Congratulations. We are proud of you,
**[16:16] Chancellor**
Anne Shirley.
**[16:17] Anne**
Thank you, sir.
**[16:28] Philippa**
Gilbert sent you those
lilies-of-the-valley, didn't he?
**[16:32] Philippa**
I don't miss much in affairs of the heart.
**[16:35] Anne**
Yes.
**[16:36] Philippa**
Why?
**[16:37] Anne**
I don't know myself. Only...
**[16:40] Philippa**
Only what?
**[16:41] Anne**
Gilbert and I have both pictured
this since we were little.
**[16:46] Anne**
The day on which we shall be capped
and gowned graduates in Arts.
**[16:51] Philippa**
Roy might be feeling hurt.
**[16:54] Anne**
I'll explain it to him.
**[16:56] Anne**
I don't want any misunderstands,
and I plan to wear his flowers to the party.
**[17:00] Philippa**
Yes, do that.
**[17:03] Philippa**
I don't know what Gilbert
was thinking, either.
**[17:05] Anne**
Why?
**[17:06] Philippa**
I heard his engagement to Christine is to be
announced as soon as Convocation is over.
**[17:10] Philippa**
Did you hear anything of it?
**[17:12] Anne**
No.
**[17:21] Gilbert**
Anne.
**[17:23] Gilbert**
May I have a dance?
**[17:27] Anne**
I'm sorry.
**[17:28] Anne**
My card is full.
**[17:31] Gilbert**
Well, that's that.
**[17:33] Gilbert**
Some other time, then.
**[17:35] Anne**
Yes.
**[17:37] Gilbert**
Congratulations again on graduating.
And on Highest Honors in English.
**[17:41] Anne**
Thank you.
**[17:43] Anne**
And you took High Honors in
Classics and the Cooper Prize.
**[17:47] Anne**
It hasn't been taken for five years!
**[17:52] Gilbert**
Thank you.
**[17:53] Gilbert**
Well then...
**[17:56] Christine**
Gil, let's dance.
**[17:57] Gilbert**
I'd love to.
**[18:00] Roy**
Anne.
**[18:02] Anne**
Roy.
**[18:09] Anne**
You're angry, aren't you?
**[18:11] Roy**
No, but I was surprised.
**[18:14] Anne**
I'm sorry.
**[18:15] Roy**
I never knew I was such a jealous person.
**[18:21] Roy**
I'm frightened.
**[18:23] Roy**
When I think of losing you...
**[18:30] Anne**
*The party went on late into the night,*
**[18:33] Anne**
* but Gilbert and Christine's*
* engagement was never announced.*
**[18:41] Anne**
Just imagine, this night week,
I'll be in Avonlea.
**[18:45] Anne**
Delightful thought!
**[18:48] Anne**
But I'll be gone forever
from Patty's Place, too.
**[18:53] Philippa**
I wonder if the ghost of all our laughter
**[18:55] Philippa**
will echo through the maiden dreams
of Miss Patty and Miss Maria.
**[18:58] Anne**
What nice times we've had here!
**[19:03] Anne**
What chats and jokes and
good, chummy jamborees!
**[19:07] Philippa**
I'm to marry Jo in June and I know
I will be rapturously happy.
**[19:14] Philippa**
But just now I feel as if I wanted this
lovely Redmond life to go on forever.
**[19:21] Anne**
No matter what deeper joys
may come to us later on
**[19:24] Anne**
we'll never again have
just the same delightful,
**[19:28] Anne**
irresponsible existence we've had here.
**[19:30] Anne**
It's over forever, Phil.
**[19:37] Philippa**
What are you going to do with Rusty?
**[19:39] Anne**
Aunt Jamesina says she'll take
him with the other cats.
**[19:44] Anne**
I'm sorry to part with Rusty,
**[19:47] Anne**
but Marilla detests cats, and I don't
suppose I'll be at Green Gables very long.
**[19:54] Philippa**
Why not?
**[19:55] Anne**
I've been offered the principalship
of the Summerside High School.
**[19:59] Philippa**
My! Are you going to accept it?
**[20:02] Anne**
I... I haven't decided yet.
**[20:08] Philippa**
What a lovely sky.
**[20:10] Philippa**
Someone will ask you to go for
a walk on an evening like this.
**[20:14] Anne**
I wonder.
**[20:17] Priscilla**
Anne, Roy is here.
**[20:20] Priscilla**
He wants to know if you'll walk with him.
**[20:25] Priscilla**
Do you think Roy will propose?
**[20:28] Philippa**
I'm sure of it.
**[20:29] Jamesina**
Anne is a very fortunate girl.
**[20:32] Stella**
I suppose so. But is this for the best?
**[20:36] Jamesina**
Stella?!
**[20:37] Stella**
I love Anne and I like Roy.
**[20:41] Stella**
Even Mrs. Gardner thinks Anne charming now.
**[20:46] Stella**
But I have my doubts.
**[20:51] Anne**
*Yes.*
**[20:54] Anne**
*Yes.*
**[20:57] Anne**
*Yes.*
**[21:10] Roy**
Anne,
**[21:12] Roy**
I couldn't be more thankful to have met you
and spent my time at Redmond with you.
**[21:20] Roy**
And I want to be with you always,
until death takes me.
**[21:26] Roy**
Anne,
**[21:27] Roy**
would you accept my love
and consent to marry me?
**[21:43] Roy**
Anne?
**[21:51] Anne**
I can't.
**[21:52] Anne**
I can't marry you.
**[21:59] Anne**
I can't!

**[00:01] Roy**
Anne,
**[00:02] Roy**
would you accept my love
and consent to marry me?
**[00:17] Anne**
I can't.
**[00:19] Anne**
I can't.
**[00:20] Anne**
I can't marry you.
**[00:25] Anne**
I can't!
**[00:30] Roy**
Why can't you?
**[00:31] Anne**
Because—I don't care enough for you.
**[00:36] Roy**
So you've just been amusing yourself?
**[00:38] Anne**
No, no, I haven't.
**[00:41] Anne**
I did think I cared. Truly I did.
**[00:45] Anne**
But I know now I don't.
**[00:52] Roy**
You have ruined my life.
**[00:56] Anne**
Forgive me.
**[01:05] Roy**
You can give me no hope?
**[01:16] Roy**
You are the only woman I can ever love.
**[01:21] Roy**
I thank you for your friendship, at least.
**[01:24] Roy**
Goodbye.

**[03:23] Philippa**
How did it go?
**[03:28] Anne**
Wait. Wait till you hear what I have to say.
**[03:35] Anne**
Roy asked me to marry him.
**[03:38] Anne**
And I refused.
**[03:42] Philippa**
Y-You *refused* him?
**[03:45] Anne**
Oh, Phil, don't scold me.
You don't understand.
**[03:51] Philippa**
I certainly don't understand.
**[03:53] Philippa**
You've encouraged Roy in
every way all this time,
**[03:55] Philippa**
and now you tell me you've refused him.
**[03:58] Philippa**
Then you've just been flirting
scandalously with him.
**[04:01] Philippa**
I couldn't have believed it of *you*.
**[04:03] Anne**
I didn't! You don't understand!
**[04:05] Philippa**
Then, why?
**[04:06] Anne**
Oh, I can't explain it to you
any more than I could to him.
**[04:11] Philippa**
Well, I suppose there is no use
in saying anything to you.
**[04:14] Anne**
No, there is no need.
I've spoiled everything.
**[04:20] Anne**
Roy despises me, and you despise me,
**[04:24] Anne**
and I despise myself.
**[04:28] Philippa**
You poor darling.
**[04:30] Philippa**
Forgive me, Anne.
**[04:32] Philippa**
Just come here and let me comfort you.
**[04:37] Philippa**
I've no right to scold you.
**[04:40] Philippa**
Oh, why must things be so
complicated and mixed up in real life?
**[04:50] Dorothy**
Roy *is* feeling terribly just now.
**[04:55] Dorothy**
I have to listen to his
outpourings every day.
**[05:02] Dorothy**
But he'll get over it.
**[05:04] Dorothy**
He always does.
**[05:07] Dorothy**
He's had to give up on love twice before.
**[05:11] Dorothy**
And he got back on his feet.
**[05:13] (Flashback) Roy**
You are the only woman I can ever love.
**[05:18] Dorothy**
So I don't think you need worry.
**[05:21] Dorothy**
I did want you for a sister, but this
won't spoil *our* friendship, will it?
**[05:27] Anne**
No, indeed not, Dorothy.
**[05:29] Dorothy**
Oh, good! I'll write to you.
**[05:32] Dorothy**
Remind me. Your family home is...
**[05:34] Anne**
In Avonlea on Prince Edward Island.
**[05:38] Anne**
It's called Green Gables.
**[05:50] Marilla**
Anne! You're home.
**[05:51] Anne**
What has happened to the
old Snow Queen, Marilla?
**[05:54] Marilla**
Oh, it was rotten at the core.
**[05:58] Marilla**
It blew down in the big
gale we had in March.
**[06:02] Marilla**
That tree was there ever since
Matthew and I were young.
**[06:10] Anne**
I'll never look from the porch gable
window again without a sense of loss.
**[06:17] Anne**
Well, tell me all the Avonlea news.
**[06:22] Lynde**
There isn't much news except
what we've wrote you.
**[06:27] Marilla**
Rachel, have you told Anne
the news about Jane?
**[06:31] Anne**
What's happened to Jane?
**[06:33] Lynde**
Jane Andrews is going to be married
to a Winnipeg millionaire.
**[06:39] Anne**
Dear old Jane! I'm so glad.
**[06:44] Anne**
She deserves the good things of life.
**[06:48] Lynde**
Oh, Jane's a nice enough girl.
**[06:51] Lynde**
But she isn't in the millionaire class.
**[06:56] Lynde**
Her engagement ring is a
diamond cluster so big
**[06:59] Lynde**
that it looks like a plaster
on Jane's fat paw.
**[07:04] Anne**
I think you're being unkind.
**[07:06] Lynde**
Am I, now?
**[07:09] Marilla**
Rachel minds that you're not
spoken for by anyone yet.
**[07:15] Anne**
My just desserts.
I've ruined every chance I had.
**[07:19] Marilla**
You mean that fellow Roy?
**[07:23] Anne**
Yes. I'm going to face the
punishment for what I've done.
**[07:28] Marilla**
You tormenting yourself
won't do anybody any good.
**[07:32] Marilla**
What has Gilbert Blythe been
doing to himself at college?
**[07:35] Marilla**
I saw him when he came home last week,
**[07:38] Marilla**
and he is so pale and
thin I hardly knew him.
**[07:43] Anne**
He studied very hard last winter.
**[07:45] Anne**
He's going to start the
medical course at Redmond,
**[07:49] Anne**
so I think he's rather run down.
**[07:52] Anne**
You know he took the Cooper Prize.
**[07:56] Anne**
It hasn't been taken for five years!
**[07:58] Lynde**
And you took Highest Honors in English.
**[08:02] Lynde**
Jane Andrews could never have managed *that*.
**[08:05] Anne**
Mrs. Lynde!
**[08:07] Anne**
How is Diana?
**[08:09] Anne**
It is lonely coming home without
her here to welcome me.
**[08:13] Marilla**
Diana has something else
to think of just now.
**[08:17] Marilla**
You must have heard.
**[08:19] Marilla**
Why don't you go and see her yourself?
**[08:22] Anne**
My! Isn't he delightful!
**[08:25] Diana**
Look! Anne's come home.
**[08:28] Anne**
He looks just like Fred!
**[08:29] Diana**
Before he came, I wanted a girl,
so that I could call her Anne.
**[08:35] Diana**
But now that little Fred is here, I wouldn't
exchange him for a million girls.
**[08:42] Mrs. Allan**
"Every little baby is the
sweetest and the best."
**[08:46] Mrs. Allan**
If little Anne *had* come, you'd have
felt just the same about her.
**[08:53] Diana**
Yes, Mrs. Allan, you're exactly right.
**[08:56] Diana**
I can hardly wait till he
gets old enough to talk.
**[09:02] Diana**
I just long to hear him say
"mother" with a smile.
**[09:09] Minister**
...in sickness and in health...
**[09:11] Philippa**
*Mother thinks it's terrible.*
**[09:13] Minister**
...in good times and in bad...
**[09:14] Philippa**
* She thinks Jo might at least take*
* a church in a decent place.*
**[09:20] Philippa**
*But the wilderness of the Patterson slums*
**[09:30] Philippa**
* will blossom like the rose*
* for me if Jo is there.*
**[09:34] Philippa**
*Oh, Anne,*
**[09:38] Philippa**
*I'm so happy my heart aches with it.*
**[09:44] Anne**
I'm surrounded by happiness, Matthew.
**[09:50] Anne**
Yes, of course, Matthew.
**[09:53] Anne**
I'm happy, too.
**[10:03] Anne**
"I've tried the world—it wears no more"
**[10:07] Anne**
"The colouring of romance it wore."
**[10:12] Marilla**
See here, Davy. Not a word to Anne about—
**[10:16] Anne**
I'm back!
**[10:18] Marilla**
Oh, Anne. You're home.
**[10:20] Davy**
It's good to see you again.
**[10:21] Lynde**
Come in.
**[10:23] Dora**
Welcome home, Anne.
**[10:25] Marilla**
I see you're drenched.
**[10:27] Lynde**
How was the wedding?
**[10:29] Anne**
Oh, Phil was radiant.
**[10:32] Anne**
Everyone was so nice, I stayed
longer than I meant to.
**[10:36] Anne**
"East, west, home's best."
**[10:40] Anne**
Davy, have you been growing again lately?
**[10:43] Davy**
Yeah. I've growed a whole
inch since you left.
**[10:47] Davy**
I'm as tall as Milty Boulter now.
**[10:51] Davy**
Say, Anne, did you know that
Gilbert Blythe is dying?
**[10:57] Marilla**
Davy!
**[11:10] Anne**
Gilbert is... what?
**[11:13] Davy**
Like I said, he's dying.
**[11:17] Marilla**
Davy!
**[11:17] Lynde**
Anne, don't look like that—
*don't look like that!*
**[11:21] Marilla**
We didn't mean to tell you so suddenly.
**[11:26] Anne**
Is it true?
**[11:27] Marilla**
Gilbert is very ill.
**[11:30] Marilla**
He took down with typhoid fever
just after you left for Bolingbroke.
**[11:35] Marilla**
The doctor said he'd been terribly run down.
**[11:39] Marilla**
But while there's life, there's hope.
**[11:42] Davy**
Mr. Harrison said they had no hope of him.
**[11:46] Marilla**
Davy!
**[11:47] Davy**
Well he did!
**[11:53] Anne**
Gilbert is dying.
**[11:56] Anne**
Gilbert is...
**[11:58] Anne**
If Gilbert goes away from me,
I cannot live, either.
**[12:03] Anne**
Yes, I know now.
**[12:05] Anne**
I... I...
**[12:21] Anne**
You're not...
**[12:23] Anne**
who I want.
**[12:24] Ideal Man**
You've always loved Gilbert, haven't you?
**[12:29] Ideal Man**
Since you were children.
**[12:33] Ideal Man**
It's too late now.
**[12:35] Ideal Man**
If you hadn't been so foolish, you
would have the right to go to him now.
**[12:43] Ideal Man**
You could have had the bitter solace
**[12:47] Ideal Man**
of being with him at the last.
**[12:52] Ideal Man**
But Gilbert will leave this life
never knowing that you loved him.
**[12:58] Ideal Man**
Sad, despondent, thinking you never cared.
**[13:00] Anne**
No!
**[13:03] Anne**
No! No!
**[13:05] Anne**
I love him!
**[13:07] Anne**
I love... I love Gilbert!
**[13:10] Anne**
I do love him! I do!
**[13:14] Anne**
So please...
**[13:16] Anne**
don't take him from me.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Ideal Man**
Gilbert will leave this life
never knowing that you loved him.
**[14:11] Anne**
Without Gilbert...
**[14:16] Anne**
nothing is of any value.
**[14:33] Anne**
Excuse me...
**[14:35] Anne**
Excuse...
**[14:36] Anne**
I beg your pardon!
**[14:39] Anne**
Don't you work for George Fletcher,
who lives next door to the Blythes?
**[14:46] Pacifique**
That I do.
**[14:47] Anne**
Did you come from
George Fletcher's this morning?
**[14:49] Pacifique**
Sure!
**[14:51] Pacifique**
Mr. Fletcher hired another
boy to help with the work.
**[14:54] Pacifique**
He gets to Bright River on the first train.
**[14:59] Pacifique**
I'm going through the woods for a shortcut.
**[15:03] Anne**
Th-Then...
**[15:04] Anne**
Did you hear how Gilbert Blythe
was this morning?
**[15:08] Pacifique**
Gilbert?
**[15:12] Pacifique**
He's better.
**[15:15] Pacifique**
The worst is behind him.
**[15:18] Pacifique**
The doctor says he'll be
all right any day now.
**[15:23] Pacifique**
Well, I must hurry.
**[15:26] Anne**
Oh, thank goodness.
**[15:28] Anne**
I...
**[15:30] Anne**
I can't thank you enough!
**[15:55] Anne**
*"Weeping may endure for a night"*
**[16:00] Anne**
*"but joy cometh in the morning."*
**[16:12] Gilbert**
Hello, Anne.
**[16:14] Anne**
Gilbert!
**[16:16] Anne**
How do you feel?
**[16:17] Gilbert**
Much better, thanks to you.
**[16:19] Gilbert**
I've come to ask you to go
for one of our rambles.
**[16:23] Gilbert**
Do you remember the old apple tree
we went to see before we left for college?
**[16:28] Anne**
Yes, of course.
**[16:30] Anne**
But have you forgotten
today is Jane's wedding?
**[16:33] Anne**
I've got to do something to this dress.
**[16:36] Gilbert**
Well, can you go tomorrow afternoon, then?
**[16:38] Anne**
Yes, I think so.
**[16:40] Gilbert**
I'll never forgive Jane for not
inviting me to her wedding.
**[16:46] Anne**
You really can't blame her when
you think of all her relations.
**[16:50] Anne**
The house can hardly hold them all.
**[16:53] Gilbert**
Is it true she'll wear so many diamonds
**[16:57] Gilbert**
that you can't tell where the
diamonds end and Jane begins?
**[17:00] Anne**
I'll tell you once I've seen her.
**[17:03] Gilbert**
Good.
**[17:06] Gilbert**
Well, I'll be up tomorrow.
**[17:09] Gilbert**
Hope you'll have a nice time tonight.
**[17:10] Anne**
Thank you.
**[17:15] Anne**
Gilbert!
**[17:17] Anne**
Let's go for that ramble now, after all.
**[17:20] Gilbert**
What about your dress?
**[17:22] Anne**
I'll manage it somehow.
**[17:24] Anne**
Today is too lovely to waste
not walking with you.
**[17:30] Anne**
This moment will never come again.
**[17:47] Anne**
My!
**[17:53] Anne**
It's all in bloom!
**[17:55] Gilbert**
Yes. I can hardly wait
for the fruit come fall.
**[17:58] Anne**
True.
**[17:59] Anne**
I feel as though old dreams might return
in the midst of all this beauty.
**[18:04] Gilbert**
Have you any unfulfilled dreams, Anne?
**[18:09] Anne**
Of course. Everybody has.
**[18:12] Anne**
None of us could never
fulfill *all* of our dreams.
**[18:17] Anne**
And we would be as good as dead if
we had nothing left to dream about.
**[18:24] Gilbert**
I have a dream.
**[18:27] Gilbert**
Although it has often seemed to
me that it could never come true,
**[18:32] Gilbert**
I persist in dreaming it.
**[18:36] Gilbert**
I dream of a home with a hearth-fire in it,
**[18:39] Gilbert**
a cat and dog, the footsteps of friends,
**[18:46] Gilbert**
and...
**[18:49] Gilbert**
and you.
**[18:52] Gilbert**
I asked you a question over two years ago.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Anne**
I...
**[18:59] (Flashback) Anne**
I...
**[19:01] (Flashback) Anne**
I can't.
**[19:05] Gilbert**
If I ask it again today,
**[19:09] Gilbert**
will you give me a different answer?
**[19:14] Anne**
B-But what about Christine?
**[19:17] Anne**
I thought you loved Christine Stuart.
**[19:26] Gilbert**
Christine was engaged to
somebody in her hometown.
**[19:30] Gilbert**
I knew her brother, and he asked
me to look after her for a bit.
**[19:36] Gilbert**
I knew college gossip credited us
with being in love with each other,
**[19:39] Gilbert**
but I didn't care after you told
me you could never love me.
**[19:43] Gilbert**
And Christine trusted me, anyway.
**[19:48] Gilbert**
Anne, there never could be
anybody else for me but you.
**[19:53] Gilbert**
I've loved you ever since that day you
broke your slate over my head in school.
**[20:20] Anne**
I don't see how you could keep on loving
me when I was such a little fool.
**[20:26] Gilbert**
Well, I tried to stop, especially
after Gardner came around.
**[20:32] Gilbert**
I felt sure there was no chance for me then.
**[20:36] Gilbert**
But I couldn't.
**[20:39] Gilbert**
Then the day my fever broke, I got a letter
from Phil Gordon—Phil Blake, rather.
**[20:45] Anne**
Phil wrote to you?
**[20:47] Gilbert**
Yes.
**[20:48] Gilbert**
She told me there was really
nothing between you and Roy
**[20:53] Gilbert**
and advised me to "try again."
**[20:56] Gilbert**
Well, the doctor was amazed at
my rapid recovery after that.
**[21:01] Gilbert**
Anne?
**[21:02] Anne**
I can never forget the night
I thought you were dying.
**[21:09] Anne**
Oh, I knew—I *knew* then—
**[21:13] Anne**
and I thought it was too late.
**[21:17] Gilbert**
But it wasn't for either of us, Anne.
**[21:21] Anne**
No.
**[21:22] Anne**
It's the birthday of our happiness.
**[21:26] Anne**
I've always loved apple blossoms,
**[21:30] Anne**
and now they will be dearer than ever.
**[21:33] Gilbert**
But I'll have to ask you
to wait a long time.
**[21:38] Gilbert**
It will be three years before
I'll finish my medical course.
**[21:41] Gilbert**
And even then there will be no
diamond sunbursts and marble halls.
**[21:49] Anne**
I just want *you*, Gilbert.
**[21:54] Anne**
Sunbursts and marble halls
may be all very well,
**[21:57] Anne**
but there is more
"scope for imagination" without them.
**[22:02] Anne**
And as for the waiting, that doesn't matter.
**[22:06] Anne**
We'll just be happy, waiting and working
for each other—and dreaming.
**[22:14] Anne**
Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.
**[22:57] Anne**
Matthew, we're going
to be married.
**[23:01] Gilbert**
We took the long way getting here,
**[23:03] Gilbert**
but I promise I'll make her happy.
**[23:07] Anne**
Thank you, Matthew.
**[23:10] Anne**
I'm so glad I'm your daughter.
**[23:28] Anne**
