[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.
