[00:01] Anne
    I concluded my student days at Queen's
[00:05] Anne
    by winning a scholarship for my
    marks in English literature.
[00:10] Anne
    Matthew and Marilla were delighted,
[00:13] Anne
    and I came home to Green Gables
    to prepare for college.
[00:18] Anne
    That is, until one summer morning...
[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.
[01:33] Anne
    No!
[01:35] Anne
    No!

    Best Does
[03:25] Lynde
    Oh, Marilla, I don't think—
    we can do anything for him.
[03:32] Anne
    You don't think—
    You can't think Matthew is—is—
[03:35] Lynde
    Child, yes,
[03:37] Lynde
    I'm afraid of it.
[03:40] Doctor
    Death was instantaneous
    and probably painless,
[03:42] Doctor
    caused in all likelihood
    by some sudden shock.

[03:48] Doctor
    If you'll excuse me.
[03:59] Marilla
    Matthew.
[04:01] Barry
    Marilla.
[04:24] Harmon
    I see. It was that sudden, then.
[04:27] Mourner
    Keep your chin up now, Anne.
[04:28] Anne
    I'll be all right.
[04:36] Marilla
    Still...
[04:37] Lynde
    Yes, I know.
[04:38] Barry
    And in that case...
[04:40] Diana
    I'm coming in.
[04:46] Diana
    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.
