[00:02] Anne
    With the final examinations
    of our junior year before us,
[00:05] Anne
    we were studying hard.
[00:08] Philippa
    I'm going to take a scholarship in mathematics.
[00:12] Priscilla
    Mathematics will be a hurdle.
[00:15] Priscilla
    Don't you do better at Greek?
[00:18] Stella
    What do you even need
    a scholarship for? You're rich.
[00:22] Philippa
    I want to prove to Jonas that
    I'm really enormously clever.
[00:25] Anne
    Jonas will content himself with your
    big, brown eyes and your crooked smile.
[00:31] Jamesina
    Times have changed, I suppose.
[00:34] Jamesina
    Can you cook, Phil?
[00:38] Philippa
    No, I never cooked anything in my life
    except a gingerbread and it was a failure.
[00:44] Philippa
    But don't you think I could cook
    if I began in good earnest to learn?
[00:48] Jamesina
    I hope so.
[00:53] Anne
    It's from our landlady, Miss Patty.
[00:56] Anne
    She says that we can have
    Patty's Place for another year!
[01:00] Philippa; Priscilla; Stella
    Really?!
[01:02] Anne
    "Maria and I are going to run over Egypt."
[01:06] Anne
    "I want to see the Sphinx once before I die."
[01:10] Priscilla
    "Run over Egypt"!
[01:12] Priscilla
    I wonder if they'll look up
    at the Sphinx and knit.
[01:16] Stella
    In any case, we can live together another year.
[01:19] Priscilla
    Yes!
[01:20] Anne
    I'm so glad!
[01:22] Anne
    Aren't you, Phil?
[01:24] Anne
    Phil?
[01:29] Philippa
    I'm off for a tramp in the park.
[01:32] Philippa
    Anne, how about a break? Come with me.

SIGN    How Horrible It Is
    That People Have to Grow Up,
    and Marry, and Change!
[03:19] Philippa
    I'd go home and write a poem
    this blessed minute if I only knew how.
[03:22] Philippa
    Anne, I'm the happiest girl in the world.
[03:27] Anne
    So Mr. Blake has asked you
    to marry him at last, Phil?
[03:32] Philippa
    And I sneezed three times
    while he was asking me.
[03:43] Philippa
    We're to be married a year from next June.
[03:46] Anne
    Oh, Phil, congratulations.
[03:48] Philippa
    I still can't really believe that
    Jonas cares for frivolous me.
[03:55] Anne
    You're not really frivolous.
[03:57] Anne
    I know underneath that frivolous exterior,
    you've got a dear, loyal little soul.
[04:06] Philippa
    Jonas graduates from St. Columba this spring,
[04:09] Philippa
    then he's going to take
    a mission church in the slums.
[04:12] Philippa
    But I'd go there or to
    Greenland's icy mountains with him.
[04:18] Anne
    And this is the girl who would
    never marry a man who wasn't rich.
[04:23] Philippa
    I shall be poor as gaily
    as I've been rich. You'll see.
[04:27] Philippa
    Anne.
[04:28] Philippa
    All Redmond knows that Roy is crazy about you.
[04:33] Philippa
    And you do love him, don't you?
[04:35] Anne
    I...
[04:40] Anne
    Yes, I suppose I do.
[04:45] Roy
    Dearest Anne,
[04:47] Roy
    Your smile, the light of many thousand stars.
[04:51] Roy
    Your clear voice, raindrops on the river's face.
[04:54] Roy
    Your warmth...
[04:58] Anne
    "...has lit forever my heart's fires."
[05:04] Anne
    My.
[05:05] Anne
    Not exactly up to the level
    of Keats or Shakespeare,
[05:07] Anne
    but I think it quite a fine love poem
    to send an odd duck like me.
[05:14] Anne
    Gilbert could never have
    written it, at any rate.
[05:21] Anne
    Gilbert has found a
    fine girl of his own to love,
[05:25] Anne
    Phil is engaged to Jonas,
[05:27] Anne
    and Diana has Fred.
[05:30] Anne
    Will Roy and I be married someday, too?
[05:34] Anne
    Well, Rusty?
[05:41] Roy
    Anne, as ever, your beauty dazzles me.
[05:47] Anne
    Oh, Roy, you make me blush.
[05:50] Anne
    And you're far handsomer than I am.
[05:56] Anne
    Christine!
[05:58] Christine
    Anne! And Roy, too!
[06:00] Christine
    It's so nice to see you again!
[06:02] Roy
    Oh, we met at the reception the other day.
[06:06] Roy
    You're Gilbert's...?
[06:08] Anne
    Yes, "Gilbert's..."
[06:10] Anne
    I haven't seen him lately. Is he well?
[06:13] Christine
    Yes. Gilbert took off today.
[06:17] Christine
    Oh, I'd love to stay and chat,
[06:19] Christine
    but I'm keeping a professor waiting.
[06:22] Anne
    Please, don't let us keep you.
[06:24] Christine
    I'll give Gilbert your best.
[06:26] Christine
    Good day!
[06:29] Anne
    Let's go.
[06:30] Roy
    Let's.
[06:32] Anne
    My junior year concluded,
[06:34] Anne
    and I returned to Avonlea for Diana's wedding.
[06:48] Diana
    Oh.
[06:49] Diana
    The top two are delicate.
    Be careful moving them.
[06:53] Servant
    Yes, ma'am.
[06:54] Diana
    I'm sorry, Anne.
    And after you've come all this way.
[06:58] Diana
    I'm simply frantic getting ready
    for the party and moving house.
[07:02] Anne
    It's all right.
[07:03] Anne
    Only...
[07:04] Anne
    I never dreamed the day I'd be your
    bridesmaid would come so soon.
[07:18] Diana
    Oh, Anne. I'll only be two miles away.
[07:23] Diana
    And I hear you've finally met your ideal man.
[07:27] Diana
    It's a shame about Gilbert,
[07:29] Diana
    but you know your mind best.
[07:32] Diana
    I'll give you my blessing.
[07:37] Davy
    The new teacher gave me
    ten sums to do for Monday.
[07:43] Davy
    If that's not mean, what is? I want to know.
[07:46] Lynde
    Davy, don't talk like that about your—
[07:51] Davy
    Anne!
[07:53] Dora
    Welcome home, Anne!
[07:55] Anne
    It's good to be home.
[07:56] Marilla
    Have you seen Diana?
[07:59] Anne
    Yes.
[08:00] Anne
    It seems so funny and horrible
    to think of Diana's being married.
[08:03] Lynde
    I don't see what's horrible about it.
[08:06] Lynde
    Fred Wright has a fine farm
    and he is a model young man.
[08:11] Anne
    Fred is extremely good.
[08:14] Lynde
    Then what—
[08:15] Marilla
    Would you want Diana to
    marry a wicked man instead?
[08:18] Marilla
    Or marry one yourself?
[08:22] Anne
    Oh, no.
[08:24] Anne
    But I think I'd like someone who
    could be wicked and wouldn't.
[08:32] Marilla
    You'll have more sense some day, I hope.
[08:35] Marilla
    Davy, come help me.
[08:38] Davy
    Aw, do I have to?
[08:40] Anne
    Is something the matter with Marilla?
[08:42] Lynde
    She's disappointed because
    she heard you refused Gilbert Blythe.
[08:48] Anne
    Who told her that?
[08:51] Dora
    Everyone in Avonlea knows it, Anne.
[09:00] Anne
    How did word get out?
[09:03] Anne
    Perhaps Charlie Sloane
    told his guesses for truth again.
[09:09] Anne
    Don't tell me Diana told Fred,
    and Fred let it slip!
[09:16] Anne
    Tell me, Matthew,
[09:17] Anne
    why does everyone want to
    see me married to Gilbert?
[09:22] Anne
    Why can't we stay the best of friends?
[09:27] Anne
    I only wanted to preserve our friendship.
[09:35] Lynde
    If she isn't marrying for money,
[09:37] Lynde
    and she likes this handsome
    Roy better than Gilbert,
[09:41] Lynde
    there's nothing more to be said. Still...
[09:45] Marilla
    Anne wouldn't be so mercenary.
[09:48] Marilla
    I have no fear on that account.
[09:51] Marilla
    Only...
[09:54] Marilla
    I can't help feeling that
    something has gone awry.
[10:04] Lynde
    Do you worry Anne will repeat your mistakes?
[10:10] Lynde
    Don't.
[10:11] Lynde
    What is to be, will be.
[10:20] Davy
    Anne's in, ain't she?!
[10:21] Lynde
    You scared me half to death!
[10:24] Lynde
    Another letter from Prince Charming?
[10:26] Davy
    No!
[10:27] Dora
    I'll give it to her!
[10:41] Anne
    Diana, a handsome prince at Redmond
[10:45] Anne
    sends me love letters
    and flowers two times a week.
[10:50] Anne
    Can you believe it?
[10:53] Davy
    Anne!
[10:55] Davy
    You got this from Gilbert!
[10:57] Anne
    Gilbert?
[11:05] Dora
    What does he say?
[11:07] Anne
    It's... a copy of some college society report.
[11:13] Davy
    What?
[11:14] Davy
    What did Gilbert want to send
    a dull, old thing like that for?
[11:19] Dora
    Davy.
[11:21] Dora
    Come on.
[11:21] Davy
    Huh? Hey, where are we going?
[11:34] Anne
    Dearest Roy,
[11:37] Anne
    How empty and barren
    are my days without you.
[11:42] Anne
    Once my bosom friend
    Diana is safely married,
[11:46] Anne
    I shall return to Redmond,
    even if I must swim the channel.
[11:51] Anne
    Yours truly, Anne.
[12:07] Anne
    Diana...
[12:12] Anne
    Oh, how horrible it is
    that people have to grow up,
[12:17] Anne
    and marry, and change!
[12:55] Anne
    After all, the only real roses
    are the pink ones.
[12:57] Anne
    They are the flowers of love and faith.
[13:04] Anne
    It's all pretty much as
    I used to imagine it long ago,
[13:08] Anne
    when I wept over your inevitable marriage
    and our consequent parting.
[13:16] Anne
    You are the bride of my dreams.
[13:22] Anne
    And I am your bridesmaid.
[13:25] Anne
    But I haven't the puffed sleeves,
    nor do I exactly hate Fred.
[13:32] Diana
    We are not really parting, Anne.
[13:36] Diana
    We've always kept that "oath" of friendship
    we swore long ago, haven't we?
[13:43] Diana
    We'll love each other just as much as ever.
[13:46] Anne
    But things can't be quite the same after this.
    You'll have other interests.
[13:53] Anne
    I'll be a distant second or third to you.
[13:58] Diana
    The mean thing about your getting married
[14:01] Diana
    is that I won't be able to be your bridesmaid.
[14:05] Anne
    You know the proverb,
[14:07] Anne
    "three times a bridesmaid, never a bride."
[14:09] Anne
    I'm to be Phil's next, and then I must stop.
[14:22] Anne
    Here comes the minister!
[14:25] Diana
    Oh, Anne, what shall I do? I'm...
[14:28] Diana
    I'm so nervous.
[14:30] Diana
    I know I'm going to faint.
[14:33] Anne
    If you do, I'll drag you down to the
    rainwater hogshead and drop you in.
[14:39] Anne
    Getting married can't be so very terrible
    when so many people survive the ceremony.
[14:45] Diana
    Wait till your turn comes, Miss Anne.
[14:51] Anne
    You look just lovely, Diana.
[14:54] Anne
    Kiss me goodbye for the last time.
[14:56] Anne
    Diana Barry will never kiss me again.
[15:03] Diana
    Diana Wright will, though.
[15:22] Anne
    Gilbert?
[15:24] Gilbert
    Anne.
[15:25] Gilbert
    Oh, Fred asked me to be his best man.
[15:29] Anne
    Diana...
[15:31] Gilbert
    I only just arrived.
[15:34] Anne
    Oh. I'm glad you made it in time.
[15:54] Gilbert
    It's tradition.
[16:09] Davy
    Anne!
[16:10] Charlie
    Gilbert!
[16:11] Gilbert
    Hello, Charlie.
[16:12] Lynde
    What a fine-looking pair they are.
[16:53] Anne
    The wedding began.
[16:56] Anne
    Diana did not faint, and nothing untoward
    occurred to interrupt the ceremony.
[17:21] Anne
    The merrymaking that followed
    was awash in dear, familiar faces.
[17:30] All
    Cheers!
[17:32] All
    To Diana and Fred!
[17:36] Josie
    Gilbert, I hear Anne jilted you again.
[17:40] Josie
    You never learn your lesson.
[17:42] Anne
    W-Wait! Josie?!
[17:44] Josie
    Why, everyone knows it.
[17:47] Anne
    But even so...
[17:51] Moody
    Another toast, then!
[17:54] Jane
    To poor Gilbert!
[17:56] Anne
    Jane?!
[17:57] All but Anne
    To poor Gilbert!
[18:00] Anne
    Really!
[18:02] All
    Cheers!
[18:04] Moody
    Again!
[18:05] Anne
    Oh, no! Moody, are you drunk?!
[18:08] Moody
    Me, drunk? Not a bit of it!
[18:08] Fred
    Diana?
[18:12] Marilla
    Anne, we'll excuse ourselves now.
[18:16] Anne
    I understand, Marilla.
[18:23] Dora
    Till next time, Gilbert!
[18:26] Gilbert
    Yes, till next time.
[18:29] Davy
    Bye-bye!
[18:35] Gilbert
    Congratulations! Be happy!
[18:39] Fred
    Thank you! Thank you!
[18:41] Diana
    Thank you all so much for coming!
[18:43] Diana
    We'll have wonderful memories to look back on!
[18:51] Moody
    Fred! Don't fall off the cart!
[18:54] Fred
    I've got it in hand!
[18:58] All
    Congratulations! Be happy!
[19:02] Anne
    Diana! Diana!
[19:05] Diana
    Thank you all!
[19:07] Diana
    Thank you, Anne!
[19:10] Anne
    Diana...
[19:41] Gilbert
    Fred told me he was so nervous
    he couldn't sleep a wink last night.
[19:49] Anne
    His face was so red, I thought he'd gotten
    drunk before the ceremony even started!
[19:55] Gilbert
    So did I!
[19:58] Anne
    Thank goodness.
[20:01] Anne
    Oh, nothing.
[20:08] Gilbert
    There are the skies of Avonlea.
[20:10] Anne
    Yes.
[20:12] Gilbert
    Anne?
[20:14] Gilbert
    Can we take a ramble to sober up?
[20:17] Anne
    Good idea.
[20:19] Anne
    Marilla and Mrs. Lynde will be shocked
    if I go home with my face all red.
[20:26] Anne
    I have Roy, and Gilbert has Christine.
[20:30] Anne
    How funny. It's thanks to Christine
    that I can be with Gilbert.
[20:37] Gilbert
    Are you going to be in Avonlea all summer?
[20:40] Anne
    No. I'm going to a school
    down east next week.
[20:44] Anne
    They want me to substitute.
[20:47] Gilbert
    And waste your summer break?
[20:49] Anne
    Yes, but in a way I don't mind.
[20:55] Anne
    I don't understand it myself.
[20:57] Anne
    I used to think nowhere on earth
    could be as lovely as Avonlea,
[21:01] Anne
    but I'm beginning to feel like a stranger here.
[21:05] Anne
    It makes me sorry, but it's true.
[21:08] Anne
    It's quite appalling to see
    the number of children
[21:12] Anne
    who have shot up
    these past three years.
[21:14] Anne
    Half of my pupils are grown up.
[21:18] Anne
    It's a wonderful thing,
[21:20] Anne
    but it makes me feel awfully old to see them
[21:26] Anne
    in the places you and I
    and our mates used to fill.
[21:33] Anne
    That's what made today such fun.
[21:36] Anne
    It was like we had all gone back
    to those days together.
[21:42] Anne
    It was so...
[21:44] Gilbert
    "So wags the world away."
[21:47] Anne
    Gilbert?
[21:51] Gilbert
    You'll find somewhere new, Anne.
[21:59] Gilbert
    Somewhere worthy of you.
