[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.
SIGN    Chapter 17
SIGN    Love is the Power
    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!
