**[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!*

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.*
