[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!

SIGN    I Love
    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.
