[00:07] Marilla
Anne, there's a letter for you.
[00:09] Anne
Thank you, Marilla.
[00:13] Anne
It's from Philippa.
[00:15] Anne
Having spent the summer of my
twentieth year uneventfully in Avonlea,
[00:19] Anne
I stood ready to begin my junior year
at Redmond come fall.
[00:22] Anne
And then...
[00:25] Anne
Phil is going...
[00:29] Anne
to marry a minister?!

SIGN Has the Real Prince
Come at Last...?
[02:08] Philippa
Dear Anne—spelled with an e*,
[02:14] Philippa
I'm writing to you from Prospect Point.
[02:18] Philippa
I always like to spend summers at the shore,
[02:21] Philippa
and this year, I've come to stay*
with my cousin Emily here.
[02:25] Philippa
Emily's "select boardinghouse" has
five boarders besides myself—
[02:30] Philippa
four old ladies and one young man.
[02:34] Philippa
The young man's name is Jonas Blake.
[02:38] Philippa
The day I arrived, I saw him
sitting opposite to me at the table,
[02:43] Philippa
smiling at me as if he had
known me from my cradle.
[02:51] (Flashback) Philippa
Thank you.
[02:52] (Flashback) Jonas
You're welcome.
[02:53] Philippa
He is a theological student
from St. Columba,
[02:56] Philippa
and he has taken charge of the Point
Prospect Mission Church for the summer.
[03:01] Philippa
He has a big, loose-jointed
figure with absurdly long legs.
[03:05] Philippa
And his ears—but I never think
about his ears if I can help it.
[03:13] Philippa
But he has a lovely voice.
[03:16] Philippa
If you shut your eyes and just listen...
[03:16] Jonas
How pleasantly astringent
this tea is. Delightful.
[03:19] Old Woman
Indeed it is.
[03:20] Philippa
...he is adorable.
[03:21] Jonas
It's enough to gladden my heart.
[03:24] Philippa
We were good chums right away.
[03:27] Philippa
Of course he is a graduate of Redmond,
and that is a link between us.
[03:32] Philippa
We fished and boated together;
[03:36] Philippa
and we walked on the sands by moonlight.
[03:40] Philippa
By moonlight...
[03:42] Philippa
oh, he was nice.
[03:46] Philippa
Niceness fairly exhaled from him.
[03:53] Philippa
Somehow, Anne, I don't want
him to think me frivolous.
[03:59] Philippa
This is ridiculous.
[04:01] Philippa
Why should I care what a
tow-haired person called Jonas,
[04:06] Philippa
whom I never saw before, thinks of me?
[04:13] Philippa
Last Sunday, Jonas preached
in the village church.
[04:18] (Flashback) Jonas
Today, I'd like to think about
happiness with you all.
[04:23] (Flashback) Jonas
To wit, what is happiness?
[04:26] Philippa
By the time he had preached ten minutes,
[04:26] Jonas
Some people might answer, "to grow wealthy."
[04:29] Philippa
I felt so small and insignificant
[04:30] Jonas
I think that gaining spiritual
riches is a wonderful thing,
[04:34] Philippa
that I thought I must be
invisible to the naked eye.
[04:34] Jonas
but seeking only wealth
pushes happiness away.
[04:39] Philippa
Jonas never looked at me.
[04:43] Philippa
But I realized how horribly different
I must be from Jonas's ideal woman.
[04:50] Philippa
He was so earnest and tender and true.
[04:54] Philippa
He was everything a minister ought to be.
[04:56] Philippa
I could have listened forever.
[05:00] Philippa
He caught up with me on the road home,
and grinned as cheerfully as usual.
[05:05] Philippa
I had seen the real Jonas.
[05:10] Philippa
I wondered if he could
ever see the real Phil—
[05:17] Philippa
whom nobody—not even you,
Anne—has ever seen yet.
[05:23] (Flashback) Philippa
Jonas, you were born to be a minister.
[05:27] (Flashback) Jonas
You're right.
[05:28] (Flashback) Jonas
I tried to be something
else for a long time.
[05:34] (Flashback) Jonas
But I came to see at last that it
was the work given me to do—
[05:40] (Flashback) Jonas
and God helping me, I shall try to do it.
[05:45] Philippa
I thought that he would do his
work and do it well and nobly;
[05:51] Philippa
and happy the woman fitted
to help him do it.
[05:57] Philippa
She would be no feather, blown about
by every fickle wind of fancy.
[06:07] Philippa**
She would always know what hat to put on.
[06:12] Philippa**
Probably she would have only one.
[06:15] Philippa
But she wouldn't mind having
one hat or none at all,
[06:19] Philippa
because she would have Jonas.
[06:22] Philippa
Anne, don't you dare to say or hint
that I've fallen in love with Jonas.
[06:28] Philippa
Could I care for a lank,
poor, ugly theologue?
[06:32] Philippa
Good night.
[06:35] Philippa
P.S. It is impossible—
[06:38] Philippa
but I am horribly afraid it's true.
[06:45] Philippa
He can never care for me, I know.
[06:51] Philippa**
Do you think I could ever develop into
a passable minister's wife, Anne?
[06:58] Philippa
And would they expect me to lead in prayer?
[07:03] Philippa
Phil Gordon.
[07:09] Anne
I've an afternoon to spend
in sweet doing nothing.
[07:14] Anne
Shall I spend it here where there is a
cozy fire, a plateful of delicious russets,
[07:20] Anne
and three purring and harmonious cats?
[07:26] Anne
Or shall I go to the park, where
there is the lure of gray woods
[07:30] Anne
and of gray water lapping
on the harbor rocks?
[07:32] Jamesina
If I was as young as you,
I'd decide in favor of the park.
[07:36] Anne
I thought that you claimed to be
as young as any of us, Auntie.
[07:42] Jamesina
Yes, in my soul.
[07:45] Jamesina
But I'll admit my legs
aren't as young as yours.
[07:49] Jamesina
You go and get some fresh air, Anne.
[07:52] Jamesina
You look pale lately.
[07:56] Anne
I think I will go to the park.
[07:58] Anne
I want to feel alone and free and wild.
[08:02] Jamesina
Take your umbrella,
for I believe it's going to rain.
[08:05] Anne
Rain? I shouldn't think so.
[08:07] Stella
You shouldn't flirt so with
Mr. Blake—you really shouldn't.
[08:10] Philippa
I'm not flirting with him.
[08:13] Stella
You don't fool me. You're amusing yourself.
[08:19] Stella
Mr. Blake isn't of the
Alec-and-Alonzo type, Phil.
[08:22] Stella
He takes things seriously.
[08:25] Stella
You may break his heart.
[08:30] Philippa
Do you really think I could?!
[08:34] Stella
Philippa Gordon!
[08:35] Stella
I never thought you were utterly unfeeling.
[08:39] Stella
You are leading that man on deliberately—
[08:42] Stella
and you know you don't mean anything by it.
[08:44] Philippa
Not so, honey.
[08:46] Philippa
I mean to make him ask me
to marry him if I can.
[08:50] Stella
I give you up!
[08:52] Anne
Stella!
[08:57] Anne
Give her a proper explanation later.
[08:59] Philippa
You know I will.
[09:03] Male Student
Excuse me!
[09:06] Male Student
I... I know this is sudden, Anne Shirley.
[09:09] Male Student
May I have a moment? Just a moment?
[09:11] Male Student
Would you please hear me out?
[09:14] Anne
I cannot give you the answer you hope for.
[09:17] Anne
I'm sorry.
[09:33] (Flashback) Anne
Oh, Gilbert, you've spoiled everything.
[09:43] Anne
If the real Prince Charming will never come,
[09:46] Anne
I need no substitutes.
[10:10] Roy
Pardon me.
[10:12] Roy
May I offer you the shelter of my umbrella?
[10:21] Anne
P-Pri...
[10:23] Anne
Prince Charming?
[10:35] Roy
You'll get rained on.
[10:37] Roy
Come under my umbrella.
[10:44] Anne
Th-Thank you.
[10:47] Roy
We can wait there until this shower is over.
[10:56] Anne
I didn't know what I would do when
my umbrella turned inside out.
[11:01] Roy
If you'd like.
[11:02] Anne
Oh, I have my own! But thank you.
[11:10] Roy
My name is Royal Gardner.
[11:13] Roy
And you are the Miss Shirley who wrote
that Tennyson paper, aren't you?
[11:18] Anne
Yes, I am.
[11:19] Roy
I thought so.
[11:21] Roy
Then we are schoolmates, I see.
[11:24] Anne
I'm sorry, but I cannot place you at all.
[11:28] Roy
I'm sure you can't.
[11:29] Roy
I don't belong to any class yet.
[11:33] Roy
I put in two years at Redmond,
then I went to Europe for a spell.
[11:38] Roy
Now I've come back to finish my arts course.
[11:41] Anne
This is my junior year, too.
[11:44] Roy
So we are classmates...
[11:46] Anne
As well as college-mates!
[11:51] Roy
I suddenly regret the two years
I couldn't spend with you.
[12:01] Roy
It appears even the weather
has blessed our meeting.
[12:06] Roy
Come. I'll walk you home.
[12:09] Anne
Oh, you needn't. It isn't far.
[12:11] Roy
Come on.
[12:17] Roy
What shall I call you, Miss Shirley?
[12:21] Anne
Anne. Spelled with an e, if you don't mind.
[12:25] Roy
Anne. How was that?
[12:29] Anne
Perfect.
[12:31] Roy
May I see you again, Anne?
[12:34] Roy
I'd like to talk at our leisure.
[12:37] Anne
Yes. Yes, of course.
[12:48] Philippa
Royal Gardner!
[12:50] Philippa
Where did you meet him?! Be honest!
[12:54] Anne
Today in the park.
[12:55] Anne
My umbrella turned inside out and
he came to my rescue with his.
[13:00] Philippa
Oh! And is that exceedingly commonplace
incident any reason why he should send us
[13:07] Philippa
long-stemmed roses by the dozen,
with a very sentimental rhyme?
[13:12] Philippa
"Anne, my life till now has been
but a prologue to meeting you!"
[13:18] Philippa
You're blushing rosy-red.
[13:19] Anne
Don't talk nonsense, Phil.
[13:21] Anne
Do you know Mr. Gardner?
[13:23] Philippa
Yes. Roy is adorably handsome and clever.
[13:27] Anne
Is that all?
[13:28] Philippa
I've met his two sisters.
[13:31] Philippa
The Gardners are among the
richest, bluest, of Bluenoses.
[13:37] Philippa
Two years ago, his mother's health failed
and he had to go abroad with her.
[13:44] Philippa
He must have been greatly disappointed
to have to give up his class,
[13:50] Philippa
but they say he was
perfectly sweet about it.
[13:55] Philippa
Anne.
[13:56] Philippa
I smell romance.
[13:58] Anne
You goose.
[14:15] Philippa
Anne, delivery for you.
[14:19] Philippa
"Your eyes shine like the morning
star at dawn. Roy Gardner."
[14:25] Stella; Priscilla
Wow.
[14:27] Philippa
"Surely you stole the rosy hue
of your cheeks from the dawn herself."
[14:33] Philippa
"Roy Gardner."
[14:35] Stella; Priscilla
Wow!
[14:36] Philippa
"Your lips are redder than the
roses of paradise. Roy Gardner."
[14:57] Philippa
Your dashing prince has arrived!
[15:02] Philippa
Why, how handsome you look!
[15:05] Philippa
Nine nights out of ten,
I can easily outshine you.
[15:09] Philippa
The tenth, you blossom out suddenly into
something that eclipses me altogether.
[15:14] Anne
It's the dress, dear.
[15:15] Philippa
'Tisn't.
[15:17] Philippa
If Roy hadn't already lost head and heart
about you, he certainly would tonight.
[15:24] Philippa
But...
[15:25] Philippa
that orchid in your hair.
[15:28] Philippa
I'm sure it's a present from Roy,
but I don't like orchids on you.
[15:33] Philippa
Don't take offense.
[15:36] Philippa
Orchids are too affected.
They don't seem to belong to you.
[15:42] Anne
You think so, too?
[15:44] Anne
I admit I'm not fond of orchids myself.
I don't think they're related to me.
[15:51] Anne
But today is a special day.
[15:53] Philippa
The reception for the seniors. I know.
[15:57] Philippa
Look.
[15:59] Philippa
Jonas sent me some dear pink
rosebuds for the evening.
[16:04] Philippa
But he isn't coming himself.
[16:06] Philippa
He said he had to lead a
prayer meeting in the slums.
[16:12] Anne
That's a shame.
[16:13] Philippa
I don't believe he wanted to come.
[16:16] Philippa
Perhaps Jonas doesn't really
care anything about me.
[16:22] Anne
Even though he sent you roses?
[16:24] Philippa
I know, but I'm horribly afraid.
[16:27] Philippa
And I'm trying to decide whether
I'll pine away and die,
[16:31] Philippa
or go on and get my B.A. and
be sensible and useful.
[16:35] Anne
You couldn't possibly
be sensible and useful,
[16:39] Anne
so you'd better pine away and die.
[16:41] Philippa
Heartless Anne!
[16:42] Anne
Silly Phil!
[16:44] Anne
You know quite well that Jonas loves you.
[16:49] Philippa
Yes, but he won't tell me so.
[16:52] Philippa
Not that I expect sentimental rhymes.
[16:55] Anne
Mr. Blake is afraid to ask you to marry him.
[16:58] Anne
He is poor and can't offer you a
home such as you've always had.
[17:06] Philippa
Very well.
[17:07] Philippa
If he won't ask me to
marry him, I'll ask him.
[17:11] Philippa
That's all.
[17:12] Philippa
So it's bound to come right.
[17:14] Anne
Think hard,
[17:15] Anne
and be mindful of Mr. Blake's feelings.
[17:19] Philippa
How angry I was when you
refused Gilbert, Anne.
[17:25] Philippa
But I was wrong.
[17:27] Philippa
Roy Gardner was foreordained for you.
[17:31] Philippa
I can see that now.
[17:33] Philippa
You were right, after all.
[17:36] Philippa
By the way, Gilbert Blythe is going
about constantly with Christine Stuart.
[17:41] Philippa
Did you know?
[17:42] Anne
No. Who is Christine Stuart?
[17:44] Philippa
She's in Kingsport this
winter studying music.
[17:47] Philippa
They say she's very pretty and that
Gilbert is quite crazy over her.
[17:56] Jamesina
Mr. Gardner, you're the nicest
young man I ever did see.
[18:00] Roy
Oh, I'm sure I'm not.
[18:02] Jamesina
Anne is a very fortunate girl
to have met you.
[18:08] Roy
Anne.
[18:09] Roy
You look radiant this evening.
[18:12] Anne
Thank you.
[18:13] Roy
That orchid looks lovely on you.
[18:25] Roy
Anne.
[18:27] Roy
We still have time.
[18:28] Roy
Would you mind a slight detour?
[18:34] Roy
We met here, at this very spot.
[18:37] Anne
Yes. It was an awful squall.
[18:41] Anne
But we've fine weather today.
[18:44] Roy
Meeting you that day was the
greatest event of my life.
[18:51] Anne
And mine, Roy.
[18:53] Roy
Anne, I want to tell you plainly.
[18:57] Roy
I love you.
[19:00] Roy
I'm infatuated with you.
[19:03] Roy
I can't imagine life without you.
[19:07] Roy
Would you...
[19:09] Roy
be mine?
[19:23] Roy
Anne...
[19:25] Roy
Anne.
[19:28] Roy
Forgive me. Did I startle you?
[19:31] Anne
A little.
[19:32] Roy
Then...
[19:34] Anne
Yes.
[19:35] Anne
Me, too.
[19:40] Anne
The prince of my dreams just
professed his love for me.
[19:44] Anne
A touch forcefully, I admit.
[19:48] Anne
I've paid a high price for this day,
[19:51] Anne
waited so long to hear
my prince say that he loves me.
[19:56] Anne
But...
[19:57] Anne
I didn't blush.
[20:00] Anne
I didn't burst into tears.
[20:09] Roy
They seem to be enjoying themselves.
[20:11] Anne
Yes, they do.
[20:13] Gilbert
You went to the concert the
other day, didn't you?
[20:16] Christine
Yes.
[20:17] Gilbert
So, what did you think?
[20:19] Christine
Oh, it was marvelous.
[20:26] Anne
I'll just run to the dressing room.
[20:32] Anne
What is the matter with me?
[20:34] Anne
Something doesn't sit right.
[20:45] Roy
Anne! Here I am.
[20:46] Anne
Oh. Thank you for waiting.
[20:59] Gilbert
Hello, Anne. How have you been?
[21:02] Anne
W-Well.
[21:04] Anne
It's been a while, hasn't it?
[21:06] Gilbert
Roy sought us out and made a
point to introduce himself.
[21:11] Roy
I'd heard you were childhood friends.
[21:14] Gilbert
Oh, I'll introduce you.
[21:16] Gilbert
Meet Miss Christine Stuart, future musician.
[21:20] Christine
It's so nice to meet you.
[21:22] Anne
I'm Anne Shirley.
[21:23] Christine
You're childhood friends?
[21:25] Gilbert
We grew up on Prince Edward Island,
in a village called Avonlea.
[21:25] Anne
She looks just as I've
always wanted to look.
[21:30] Anne
Rose-leaf complexion—
starry violet eyes—raven hair...
[21:36] Roy
I know, Anne.
[21:39] Roy
Why don't you show me around
Avonlea one of these days?
[21:42] Roy
And Gilbert, too, if he's willing.
[21:46] Gilbert
Yes, of course, Roy.
[21:49] Christine
Then I'll join you!
[21:51] Christine
I'd like to see it, too, Gil.
[21:53] Christine
Do you mind, Anne?
[21:55] Anne
No, of course not, Christine.
[21:59] Anne
But...
[22:00] Anne
I don't believe her
nose is as good as mine.
