[00:01] Anne
    As the summer we lost Ruby came to an end,
[00:04] Anne
    I was preparing for my return to Kingsport...
[00:07] Harrison
    Say, Anne, been writing
    any more stories lately?
[00:13] Anne
    No.
[00:14] Harrison
    Well, Mrs. Hiram Sloane told me
    the other day that a big envelope
[00:18] Harrison
    addressed to that baking powder company
    had been dropped into the post office box.
[00:23] Harrison
    I suspected that maybe you were
    trying for the prize they'd offered
[00:27] Harrison
    for the best story that introduced
    the name of their baking powder.
[00:32] Anne
    Indeed, no!
[00:35] Anne
    I think it would be perfectly disgraceful
    to write a story as an advertisement.
[00:41] Diana
    Anne!
[00:42] Diana
    There you are.
[00:44] Diana
    Here's a letter for you.
[00:46] Diana
    Here!
[00:47] Diana
    I was at the office, so I
    thought I'd bring it along.
[00:51] Diana
    Do open it quick.
[00:53] Anne
    What's come over you, Diana?
[00:55] Diana
    I'm wild with delight. Go on, read it.
[01:00] Anne
    "We have much pleasure in informing you"
[01:02] Anne
    "that your charming story
    'Averil's Atonement'"
[01:06] Anne
    "has won the prize of twenty-five dollars
    offered in our recent competition."
[01:12] Anne
    "Yours very truly,
    The Rollings Reliable Baking Powder Co."
[01:17] Anne
    What?
SIGN    Chapter 20
SIGN    My World Has
    Tumbled Into Pieces
[02:54] Anne
    I don't understand.
[02:56] Anne
    How could my story have won the prize?
[02:59] Diana
    I sent it!
[03:02] Diana
    Oh, I knew it would win!
[03:05] Diana
    At first I thought I'd
    ask you to send it in.
[03:07] Diana
    But you had so little faith left in it.
[03:10] Diana
    So I just decided I'd send
    the copy you gave me.
[03:14] Diana
    Why, Anne, you don't seem a bit pleased!
[03:18] Anne
    I'm so amazed—I can't realize it.
[03:20] Anne
    There wasn't a word in my story about...
    about baking powder.
[03:24] Diana
    Oh, I put that in.
[03:26] Diana
    It was as easy as a wink.
[03:29] Diana
    When Averil bakes the cake,
[03:32] Diana
    I just added, "and I will never use
    any baking powder except Rollings."
[03:37] Diana
    Here!
[03:38] Diana
    The twenty-five dollars you've won!
[03:43] Anne
    Diana,
[03:44] Anne
    I can't take it.
[03:47] Anne
    It's yours by right. You sent the story in.
[03:51] Diana
    The honor of being a friend of the
    prize-winner is enough for me.
[03:54] Diana
    I'm so glad for your sake, Anne.
[03:57] Anne
    Oh, Diana,
[04:00] Anne
    I think you are the sweetest and
    truest friend in the world,
[04:06] Anne
    and I assure you I appreciate
    the motive of what you've done.
[04:23] Davy
    Gilbert's here to see you, Anne.
[04:26] Davy
    Are you well?
[04:30] Gilbert
    Why, what is the matter?
[04:33] Gilbert
    I came to congratulate you.
[04:35] Anne
    Oh, Gilbert, not you.
[04:39] Anne
    I thought you would understand.
[04:42] Gilbert
    I must confess I can't. What is wrong?
[04:45] Anne
    Everything.
[04:46] Anne
    I loved my poor little story.
[04:50] Anne
    What will the professors think when they
    hear I've written an advertisement?
[04:56] Anne
    And, oh, when it gets out at Redmond!
    Think how I'll be teased and laughed at!
[05:01] Gilbert
    Why worry what anyone else thinks?
[05:06] Gilbert
    One would rather write masterpieces
    of literature, no doubt.
[05:11] Gilbert
    But, meanwhile, meals have to be
    bought and board has to be paid.
[05:16] Gilbert
    Put the prize toward tuition fees and
    consider that it enhances your learning.
[05:24] Anne
    I suppose one must face reality.
[05:27] Anne
    But I cannot feel easy in my mind about it.
[05:30] Gilbert
    Then will you let me read
    your story sometime?
[05:34] Anne
    Certainly. But whatever for?
[05:36] Gilbert
    Because then I'll be able to tell whether
    you wrote it as an advertisement.
[05:40] Anne
    I'd like you to read it very much.
[05:44] Anne
    Isn't it lovely?
[05:45] Anne
    Do you know, I didn't notice until just now?
[05:48] Gilbert
    This view has made my own cares pale
    into insignificance more than once.
[05:55] Anne
    Gilbert, did you really
    come to congratulate me?
[06:00] Gilbert
    Yes, of course.
[06:02] Anne
    He must have known I was feeling miserable.
[06:06] Gilbert
    Good. She looks more
    cheerful than I'd feared.
[06:09] Anne
    Thank you.
[06:18] Gilbert
    Just think, next week we start
    our second year at Redmond.
[06:28] Philippa
    It's homier than home.
[06:32] Anne
    It's pictures galore after all, I see.
[06:35] Anne
    Although Miss Patty didn't seem to want
    us putting more holes in her wallpaper.
[06:40] Philippa
    We'll putty the holes
    up when we leave, dear.
[06:43] Philippa
    Now, Stella, when does
    Aunt Jamesina come to live with us?
[06:47] Stella
    Tomorrow. And she's bringing a cat.
[06:51] Priscilla
    A cat! I adore cats!
[06:52] Anne
    Then there will be six of
    us living under one roof.
[06:56] Philippa
    Five and one animal, you mean.
[06:58] Priscilla
    Call it four and two animals.
[07:08] Philippa
    Good morning, Charlie.
[07:11] Philippa
    My, what good friends you are.
[07:14] Anne
    Oh, stop it.
[07:16] Gilbert
    Good morning, friendly fellow lodgers.
[07:19] Philippa
    Good morning, Gilbert.
[07:21] Philippa
    The living room has come
    together splendidly.
[07:24] Philippa
    You must visit.
[07:26] Gilbert
    Of course.
[07:31] Gilbert
    Well, I have class across the hall.
[07:34] Priscilla
    Later, then.
[07:35] Philippa
    Anne?
[07:37] Philippa
    Has anything happened
    between you and Gilbert?
[07:39] Anne
    No.
[07:41] Anne
    What?
[07:42] Philippa
    I don't miss much in affairs of the heart.
[07:45] Anne
    Honestly, nothing's happened!
[07:46] Philippa
    You don't need to hide it.
[07:59] Anne
    Goodness!
[08:01] Anne
    You mustn't follow me.
[08:03] Anne
    I'm sorry, but we already
    have a cat coming to stay.
[08:15] Anne
    No. Shoo.
[08:20] Anne
    It's not a laughing matter!
[08:23] Philippa
    That cat must have taken a
    real fancy to you, Anne.
[08:26] Priscilla
    Was he as thin as all that?
[08:28] Stella
    You should have fed him.
[08:31] Anne
    No. If I did that, I would have to keep him.
[08:48] Anne
    You can't simply waltz in uninvited.
[08:51] Priscilla
    He has evidently adopted you.
[08:53] Philippa
    He really is emaciated.
[08:55] Stella
    Poor creature.
[08:56] Anne
    Well, I'll give him a square meal and
    then he must return to whence he came.
[09:16] Philippa
    He plainly means to stay.
[09:18] Priscilla
    Something has to be done.
[09:19] Stella
    We can't keep him.
[09:21] Stella
    Aunt Jimsie will bring her cat with her.
[09:24] Anne
    Yes.
[09:26] Anne
    That's why I told him and
    myself that it was not to be.
[09:34] Anne
    Oh.
[09:37] Anne
    Oh, I can't pretend any longer!
[09:40] Anne
    He's my cat!
[09:42] Anne
    His name is Rusty!
[09:44] Philippa
    What, you've already christened him?
[09:47] Priscilla
    How like Anne.
[09:49] Stella
    Now you'll have to convince
    Aunt Jimsie and the other cat.
[09:55] Anne
    Yes, I'll try.
[09:57] Anne
    Be good, Rusty.
[10:01] Stella
    Um... Aunt Jamesina,
[10:04] Stella
    I thought you said you
    were bringing one cat.
[10:07] Jamesina
    A dear friend begged me to take him.
[10:10] Jamesina
    The stately one is the Sarah-cat.
[10:12] Jamesina
    The meek one is my dear friend's, Joseph.
[10:16] Jamesina
    The Sarah-cat never fights
    and Joseph rarely.
[10:23] Anne
    Rusty!
[10:33] Anne
    No, Rusty!
[10:35] Anne
    Stop that!
[10:37] Jamesina
    It's all right. Let them fight it out.
[10:45] Jamesina
    You see?
[10:46] Jamesina
    They've made friends.
[10:49] Anne
    How I admire you, Aunt Jamesina!
[10:53] Jamesina
    But I only keep cats proper.
[10:57] Jamesina
    You're old enough to know how to
    behave if you're ever going to be.
[11:02] Anne; Priscilla; Philippa; Stella
    Of course.
[11:03] Jamesina
    But then again,
[11:05] Jamesina
    as far as I am concerned, you can all
    go to destruction in your own way.
[11:23] Anne
    Gilbert.
[11:25] Anne
    You would be very unwise.
[11:36] Anne
    Thank you.
[11:56] Philippa
    What a dull, interminable day it's been.
[12:00] Anne
    But to some people, it has
    been a wonderful day.
[12:04] Anne
    And some heart has been broken.
[12:07] Philippa
    I don't like to think of broken
    hearts or anything unpleasant.
[12:11] Anne
    Do you think you'll be able to shirk
    unpleasant things all your life, Phil?
[12:15] Philippa
    Dear me, no. Am I not up against them now?
[12:19] Philippa
    Alec and Alonzo simply plague my life out.
[12:23] Jamesina
    It shouldn't be hard to decide.
[12:27] Philippa
    I was born a seesaw, Auntie, and nothing
    can ever prevent me from teetering.
[12:34] Philippa
    Oh, I'd marry Gilbert Blythe if he were rich.
[12:39] Anne
    Gilbert and you?
[12:44] Anne
    You have every right, of course.
[12:48] Philippa
    Oh, I'm not setting out
    to marry Gilbert Blythe.
[12:54] Philippa
    Perish the thought.
[12:56] Philippa
    I'll have to marry sometime, I suppose,
[13:01] Philippa
    but I shall put off the
    evil day as long as I can.
[13:05] Philippa
    In any case, I'm starving now.
[13:09] Anne
    I made a lemon pie this morning.
    It's in the pantry.
[13:12] Philippa
    You're a darling!
[13:19] Philippa
    May today be a wonderful day for you!
[13:26] Jamesina
    That girl is pretty and
    sweet and good-hearted,
[13:26] Philippa
    Oh, it looks scrumptious! I can't help myself!
[13:29] Jamesina
    but do you think she is quite
    right in her mind, by spells?
[13:33] Anne
    There's nothing the matter with Phil's mind.
    It's just her way of talking.
[13:39] Anne
    It's a fine day, Rusty.
    Shall we go for a walk?
[13:56] Anne
    Rusty?
[14:06] Anne
    Hello, Gilbert.
[14:08] Gilbert
    Hello, Anne.
[14:10] Anne
    Mayflowers?
[14:11] Gilbert
    Yes.
[14:12] Gilbert
    Don't these remind you of home
    and our old school-day picnics?
[14:18] Anne
    Oh, yes.
[14:20] Gilbert
    I suppose you will be there
    in reality in a few days?
[14:25] Anne
    Yes, once I put the house in order.
[14:29] Anne
    You'll be in Avonlea before I will.
[14:32] Gilbert
    No, I shall not be in Avonlea
    at all this summer.
[14:35] Gilbert
    I've been offered a job in the Daily News
    office and I'm going to take it.
[14:40] Anne
    Oh, Phil... Phil, come out this instant.
[14:41] Anne
    You mustn't work too hard.
[14:47] Anne
    Isn't this a delightful evening?
[14:49] Anne
    Do you know, I found a cluster of white violets
    under that tree over there?
[14:55] Anne
    I felt as if I had discovered a gold mine.
[14:58] Anne
    Let us go and see if we can find some more.
[15:01] Anne
    I'll call Phil and—
[15:05] Gilbert
    Never mind Phil and the violets just now.
[15:09] Gilbert
    There is something I want to say to you.
[15:12] Anne
    Oh, don't say it. Don't—please, Gilbert.
[15:15] Gilbert
    I must. Things can't go
    on like this any longer.
[15:20] Gilbert
    Anne, I love you.
[15:23] Gilbert
    You know I do.
[15:25] Gilbert
    I can't tell you how much.
[15:28] Gilbert
    Will you promise me that
    some day, you'll be my wife?
[15:36] Anne
    I...
[15:38] Anne
    I...
[15:41] Anne
    I can't.
[15:43] Anne
    Oh, Gilbert, you've spoiled everything.
[15:55] Gilbert
    How... How do you feel about me?
[15:59] Anne
    I do care a great deal for you as a friend.
[16:03] Anne
    But I don't love you, Gilbert.
[16:07] Gilbert
    But can't you give me some
    hope that you will—yet?
[16:12] Anne
    No, I can't.
[16:14] Anne
    You must never speak of this to me again.
[16:17] Anne
    And we must go on being friends.
[16:22] Gilbert
    Friends!
[16:24] Gilbert
    I want your love—and you tell
    me I can never have that.
[16:31] Anne
    I'm sorry.
[16:33] Gilbert
    There have been times when
    I thought you did care.
[16:38] Gilbert
    I've deceived myself, that's all.
[16:44] Gilbert
    Goodbye, Anne.
[17:06] Philippa
    You are an idiot, Anne Shirley!
[17:09] Anne
    Do you call it idiotic to refuse
    to marry a man I don't love?
[17:14] Philippa
    You don't know love when you see it.
[17:18] Philippa
    You've tricked something out with your
    imagination that you think love,
[17:23] Philippa
    and you expect the real
    thing to look like that.
[17:26] Anne
    Phil, please go away and leave
    me alone for a little while.
[17:35] Anne
    My world has tumbled into pieces.
[17:40] Anne
    I want to reconstruct it.
[17:43] Philippa
    Without any Gilbert in it?
[17:50] Anne
    A world without any Gilbert in it?!
[17:54] Anne
    A world without any Gilbert in it?
[17:58] Anne
    A world without...
[18:09] Marilla
    Is that you, Rachel? That was quick.
[18:13] Anne
    Hello, Marilla.
[18:16] Marilla
    Anne Shirley!
[18:18] Marilla
    I never looked for you till tomorrow night.
[18:21] Anne
    I just got homesick all at once,
    and came a day earlier.
[18:26] Anne
    I've had such a lovely walk,
    picking flowers in the twilight.
[18:30] Anne
    Smell them.
[18:35] Marilla
    Sit down, child. You must be real tired.
[18:41] Anne
    I am.
[18:43] Marilla
    How is Gilbert?
[18:45] Marilla
    He isn't coming home this summer, I hear.
[18:49] Anne
    He is.
[18:53] Davy
    Anne, ain't I glad to see you!
[18:55] Anne
    Davy!
[18:57] Davy
    Say, Anne, I've grown
    two inches since last fall.
[19:01] Davy
    And say, Anne, see my
    front tooth. It's gone.
[19:05] Anne
    Goodness! And have you been a good boy?
[19:08] Davy
    Yes. But say, I'm tired of being good.
[19:12] Anne
    You'd get tired of being bad much sooner.
[19:16] Davy
    Well, it'd be fun while
    it lasted, wouldn't it?
[19:20] Davy
    I could be sorry for it
    afterwards, couldn't I?
[19:22] Anne
    Being sorry wouldn't do away with the
    consequences of being bad, Davy.
[19:27] Marilla
    Now, stop talking nonsense
    and come have your supper.
[19:32] Davy; Dora
    All right.
[19:34] Lynde
    You look well, Anne.
[19:36] Dora
    Welcome home, Anne.
[19:39] Anne
    It's good to be home.
[19:42] Anne
    Thank you very much for having me.
[19:44] Lavendar
    Seeing you is one of the pleasures
    of coming home for the summer.
[19:50] Anne
    I am so glad our homecomings overlapped.
[19:53] Anne
    How you've grown, Paul.
[19:56] Paul
    I'm thirteen now.
[20:05] Anne
    Where has the summer gone?
[20:09] Anne
    It doesn't seem a day since I came home
    that spring evening with the violets.
[20:16] Anne
    When I was little, I couldn't see from
    one end of the summer to the other.
[20:23] Anne
    It stretched before me
    like an unending season.
[20:31] Anne
    Now "'tis a handbreadth, 'tis a tale."
[20:36] Lavendar
    Anne, are you and Gilbert Blythe
    as good friends as you used to be?
[20:43] Anne
    I am just as much Gilbert's
    friend as ever I was.
[20:48] Lavendar
    Have you quarreled?
[20:51] Anne
    No; it's only that Gilbert
    wants more than friendship
[20:58] Anne
    and I can't give him more.
[21:01] Lavendar
    Are you sure of that?
[21:05] Lavendar
    I'm very, very sorry.
[21:07] Anne
    I wonder why everybody seems to think
    I ought to marry Gilbert Blythe.
[21:14] Lavendar
    Because you were made and meant for
    each other, Anne—that is why.
[21:21] Lavendar
    But you are still young.
[21:24] Lavendar
    You needn't decide on everything now.
[21:28] Anne
    Why ever did Gilbert say such things?
[21:32] Anne
    He must have known I would refuse.
[21:35] Lavendar
    He probably couldn't help himself.
[21:38] Lavendar
    That's how much he loves you.
