[00:01] Anne
    Life is a series of departures.
[00:10] Thomas
    I'm sorry, Rachel.
[00:12] Thomas
    Sorry I ain't leaving you better off.
[00:16] Lynde
    Don't be silly, Thomas!
    I'm happy enough for anyone!
[00:21] Thomas
    Children, look after your mother.
[00:25] Lynde
    Thomas!
[00:27] Thomas
    You've been a good mother, Rachel,
[00:31] Thomas
    and a better wife than I deserved.
[00:48] Anne
    Come in!
[00:51] Anne
    Did we have a visitor?
    Who would come calling so late?
[00:55] Marilla
    Thomas Lynde is gone.
[00:59] Marilla
    I'm going right down to Rachel.
    You see to things here.
[01:05] Anne
    Yes, all right.
[01:09] Anne
    At the time, I could not even imagine
    that this day marked the start
[01:15] Anne
    of so many departures
    lying in wait for us all.

SIGN    I'll Come from
    the Ends of the Earth
    If Necessary
[02:56] Anne
    Come in.
[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,
    I'll run down and chat awhile with Mrs. Lynde.
[03:16] Marilla
    Good. I think she'd like that.
[03:25] Marilla
    Now tell me, Anne.
[03:27] Anne
    Yes?
[03:28] Marilla
    I suppose Gilbert Blythe is
    going to college in the fall.
[03:32] Anne
    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
    have just been delightful.
[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.
