[00:04] Marilla
    I don't know what to do with her.
[00:08] (Flashback) Anne
    I will not go back to school, I assure you.
[00:12] Marilla
    She can be awful stubborn
    if she takes the notion.
[00:15] Lynde
    Speaking as a woman who's
    sent ten children to school,
[00:20] Lynde
    I'd just humor her a little at
    first, that's what I'd do.
[00:23] Marilla
    Then you really think
    I'd better let her stay home?
[00:26] Lynde
    Yes. That is, I wouldn't
    say school to her again
[00:30] Lynde
    until she said it herself.
[00:36] Lynde
    She'll cool off in a week or so and be
    ready enough to go back of her own accord.
[00:39] Marilla
    You think so?
[00:41] Lynde
    While, if you were to make
    her go back right off,
[00:45] Lynde
    dear knows what freak or tantrum she'd
    take next and make more trouble than ever.
[00:54] Marilla
    Anne?
[00:56] Marilla
    Whatever's the matter now?
[00:57] Anne
    I love Diana so, Marilla.
    I cannot ever live without her.
[01:02] Marilla
    Have you had a falling out?
[01:05] Anne
    No.
[01:07] Anne
    But when we grow up,
    Diana will get married...
[01:11] Anne
    and go away and leave me.
[01:14] Anne
    And oh, what shall I do?
[01:17] Anne
    I hate her husband—
    I just hate him furiously.
[01:26] Marilla
    If you must borrow trouble,
    for pity's sake, borrow it handier home.
[01:30] Marilla
    Oh, yes. I'm going out tomorrow afternoon.
[01:34] Marilla
    You can ask Diana to come
    over and have tea here.
[01:38] Anne
    Oh, Marilla!
[01:41] Marilla
    Have the bottle of raspberry cordial
    on the second shelf of the closet.
[01:45] Marilla
    You can cut some fruitcake and have
    some of the cookies and snaps.
[01:48] Anne
    How perfectly lovely!
[01:50] Anne
    You are able to imagine things after all,
[01:53] Anne
    or else you'd never have understood
    how I've longed for that very thing.
[01:57] Anne
    It will seem so nice and grown-uppish!

[03:47] Diana
    How do you do?
[03:50] Anne
    All the better for your company.
[03:56] Anne
    May I... offer you tea?
[04:02] Anne
    Marilla said the raspberry cordial
    was on the second shelf.
[04:08] Anne
    This must be it.
[04:13] Anne
    Marilla's famous raspberry cordial!
[04:15] Anne
    Please help yourself.
[04:19] Diana
    Thank you. It's such a pretty color.
[04:24] Diana
    That's awfully nice!
[04:26] Diana
    I didn't know raspberry
    cordial was so nice!
[04:30] Anne
    I'm real glad you like it!
[04:34] Anne
    Take as much as you want.
    I'm going to run out and stir the fire up.
[04:44] Diana
    It certainly is very nice.
[04:55] Anne
    Another glass?
[04:57] Diana
    Yes, please.
[05:02] Diana
    The nicest I ever drank.
[05:04] Diana
    It's ever so much nicer than Mother's.
[05:06] Anne
    Marilla is a famous cook.
[05:09] Anne
    But there's no scope for imagination in
    cookery. You just have to go by rules.
[05:13] Anne
    She is trying to teach me to cook,
    but I assure you, Diana, it is uphill work.
[05:20] Anne
    Why, Diana, what is the matter?
[05:23] Diana
    I'm—I'm awful sick.
[05:27] Anne
    What?
[05:28] Anne
    Where do you feel bad?
[05:30] Anne
    W-Would you like to
    lie down on the sofa?
[05:32] Diana
    I must go right home.
[05:34] Anne
    Oh, you mustn't dream of
    going home without your tea.
[05:37] Diana
    I must go home.
[05:38] Anne
    All right. I'll go with you.
[05:52] Anne
    Mrs. Lynde.
[05:54] Lynde
    Is Marilla in?
[05:55] Anne
    She's out.
[05:57] Anne
    Come in. I'll put on tea.
[05:59] Lynde
    Never mind. I only stopped to look in.
[06:03] Lynde
    Goodbye.
[06:08] Lynde
    Tell me, Anne,
[06:10] Lynde
    what did you give Diana to drink?
[06:15] Marilla
    You set Diana drunk?!
[06:19] Marilla
    What on earth did you give her?
[06:21] Anne
    Not a thing but raspberry cordial.
[06:23] Anne
    I never thought raspberry cordial
    would set people drunk,
[06:27] Anne
    not even if they drank three
    big tumblerfuls as Diana did.
[06:32] Marilla
    Anne, you certainly have a genius
    for getting into trouble.
[06:36] Marilla
    You went and gave Diana currant wine
     instead of raspberry cordial.
[06:40] Anne
    Wine?
[06:42] Marilla
    I put the bottle of cordial
    down in the cellar.
[06:45] Marilla
    Not in the pantry as I told you.
[06:48] Anne
    What?!
[06:49] Marilla
    Didn't you know the difference yourself?
[06:51] Anne
    I never tasted it. I meant to
    be so—so—hospitable.
[06:55] Anne
    Diana just laughed silly like when her
    mother asked her what was the matter.
[07:01] Anne
    Her mother smelled her breath
    and knew she was drunk.
[07:05] Anne
    Mrs. Barry is so indignant.
[07:08] Anne
    She will never let me play with Diana again!
[07:14] Marilla
    I know. I'll go up and tell
    Mrs. Barry how it was.
[07:20] Marilla
    She'll think better of it when she
    finds you're not really to blame.
[07:38] Anne
    Marilla?
[07:40] Marilla
    Of all the unreasonable women
    I ever saw, she's the worst!
[07:44] Marilla
    I told her it was all a mistake
    and you weren't to blame,
[07:47] Marilla
    but she just simply didn't believe me.
[07:49] Marilla
    I told her plainly that wine wasn't meant
    to be drunk three tumblerfuls at a time!
[08:04] Mrs. Barry
    What do you want?
[08:05] Anne
    Oh, Mrs. Barry, please forgive me!
[08:08] Anne
    I did not mean to intoxicate Diana!
[08:12] Anne
    Just imagine if you had just one
    bosom friend in all the world!
[08:17] Anne
    Do you think you would
    intoxicate her on purpose?
[08:21] Anne
    Oh, please don't say that you won't
    let Diana play with me any more!
[08:25] Anne
    If you do, you will cover my
    life with a dark cloud of woe!
[08:31] Mrs. Barry
    How dare you mock your elders with
    big words and dramatic gestures.
[08:35] Mrs. Barry
    I don't think you are a fit little girl
    for Diana to associate with.
[08:40] Mrs. Barry
    You'd better go home and behave yourself.
[08:43] Anne
    Please wait!
[08:44] Anne
    Won't you let me see Diana
    just once to say farewell?
[08:48] Mrs. Barry
    Diana is sleeping. Now go!
[08:51] Anne
    Oh, but—
[09:00] Anne
    My last hope is gone.
[09:26] Anne
    Diana!
[09:31] Anne
    Your mother hasn't relented?
[09:35] Diana
    I've cried and cried, and I told her it
    wasn't your fault, but it wasn't any use.
[09:41] Diana
    I had ever such a time coaxing her to
    let me have ten minutes to say goodbye.
[09:46] Anne
    Ten minutes isn't very long
    to say an eternal farewell in.
[09:51] Anne
    Oh, Diana, will you promise faithfully never
    to forget me, the friend of your youth,
[09:59] Anne
    no matter what dearer
    friends may caress thee?
[10:03] Diana
    Indeed I will, and I'll never
    have another bosom friend.
[10:09] Diana
    I couldn't love anybody as I love you.
[10:13] Anne
    Oh, Diana, do you love me?
[10:18] Diana
    Why, of course I do.
[10:20] Diana
    Didn't you know that?
[10:21] Anne
    I thought you liked me, of course,
    but I never hoped you loved me.
[10:27] Anne
    Oh, this is wonderful!
[10:30] Anne
    Oh, Diana, just say it once again.
[10:33] Diana
    I love you devotedly, Anne,
     and I always will, you may be sure of that.
[10:39] Anne
    And I will always love thee, Diana.
[10:48] Anne
    Wilt thou give me a lock of thy jet-black
    tresses in parting to treasure forevermore?
[10:54] Anne
    Ready?
[10:56] Diana
    Yes.
[11:01] Anne
    Fare thee well, my beloved friend.
[11:04] Anne
    Henceforth we must be as strangers,
    though living side by side.
[11:08] Anne
    But my heart will ever be faithful to thee.
[11:28] Anne
    I'm going back to school.
[11:30] Anne
    That is all there is left in life for me,
[11:33] Anne
    now that my friend has been
    ruthlessly torn from me.
[11:36] Anne
    In school, I can look at her
    and muse over days departed.
[11:42] Marilla
    I hope we'll hear no more of breaking slates
    over people's heads and such carryings-on.
[11:47] Anne
    I'll try to be a model pupil!
[11:49] Anne
    Goodbye!
[11:56] Ruby
    Anne!
[11:57] Jane
    You've come back!
[12:05] Ruby
    Here.
[12:07] Ruby
    Have some.
[12:08] Anne
    Oh, it looks scrumptious!
[12:10] Ella
    Here, Anne.
[12:12] Anne
    What's this?
[12:14] Anne
    Oh, how pretty!
[12:16] Anne
    Thank you, Ella.
[12:18] Classmate
    Anne, this is from me.
[12:20] Classmate
    And I'd like you to have this, too.
[12:22] Anne
    Thank you all. I'll treasure them.
[12:31] Anne
    It's so nice to be appreciated.
[12:34] Matthew
    Well now, I suppose it is.
[12:36] Marilla
    I hope you're doing as
    your teacher tells you.
[12:39] Anne
    Of course I am.
[12:41] Anne
    But Diana won't look at me.
[12:44] Anne
    She might just have smiled
    at me once, I think.
[12:48] Phillips
    Now, I want you all to write a composition
    on this school you have your lessons in.
[12:54] Phillips
    Begin according to the order
    I've written on the blackboard.
[12:59] Phillips
    First, place. Where does it stand?
[13:00] Diana
    Dear Anne, Mother says I'm not to play
    with you or talk to you even in school.
[13:06] Diana
    Please don't be cross at me,
    because I love you as much as ever.
[13:16] Phillips
    And so,
[13:17] Phillips
    some of you wrote well
    and others, not so well,
[13:21] Phillips
    but you must all remember to read your
    own compositions and correct mistakes.
[13:22] Anne
    My own darling Diana:
[13:24] Anne
    Of course I am not cross at you.
[13:27] Anne
    Our spirits can commune.
[13:31] Anne
    I shall sleep with your letter
    under my pillow tonight.
[13:35] Anne
    Yours until death do us part,
    Anne or Cordelia Shirley.
[13:39] Phillips
    That will do.
[13:41] Gilbert
    Anne Shirley.
[13:44] Gilbert
    I know you're good at spelling.
[13:46] Gilbert
    Would you help me with a few—
[13:51] Jimmy
    Anne really won't say a word to you.
[13:54] Jimmy
    I guess you are rivals in class.
[13:59] Phillips
    Today, top honors in sums go to...
[14:02] Phillips
    Gilbert.
[14:06] Phillips
    Today, top honors in sums go to...
[14:09] Phillips
    Anne.
[14:15] Phillips
    Today, Gilbert and Anne have
    tied for first in sums.
[14:25] Anne
    I'm sure I'll never
    be able to like geometry.
[14:29] Anne
    There is no scope for
    imagination in it at all.
[14:32] Anne
    And Gil—I mean, some of
    the others are so smart at it.
[14:37] Anne
    Even Diana—
[14:39] Anne
    But I don't mind being beaten by Diana.
[14:43] Anne
    Even although we meet as strangers now
[14:47] Anne
    I still love her with an
    inextinguishable love.
[14:51] Anne
    It makes me very sad that
    I can't talk with her.
[14:56] Anne
    But really,
[14:57] Anne
    one can't stay sad very long
    in such an interesting world,
[15:03] Anne
    can one?
[15:05] Matthew
    Knowing you, you'll beat
    anything life throws at you.
[15:11] Marilla
    Now, finish your meal.
[15:13] Anne
    I will.
[15:19] Anne
    That winter witnessed a momentous event.
[15:23] Anne
    The Canadian Premier decided to
    come to Prince Edward Island.
[15:28] Anne
    Most of the grown-up people in
    Avonlea went to hear him speak.
[15:34] Anne
    But that wasn't the only happening of note.
[15:43] Anne
    It's nice to spend a night
    without Marilla sometimes.
[15:49] Anne
    Hello?
[15:51] Anne
    Whatever is the matter, Diana?!
[15:54] Anne
    Has your mother relented at last?
[15:57] Diana
    No!
[15:58] Diana
    Oh, Anne, do come quick!
[16:00] Diana
    Minnie May is awful sick!
[16:02] Diana
    She's got croup, I think!
[16:05] Diana
    Father and Mother are away to town
[16:07] Diana
    and Young Mary Joe
    doesn't know what to do,
[16:10] Diana
    and oh, Anne, I'm so scared!
[16:14] Anne
    Don't cry!
[16:15] Anne
    Matthew's gone for the doctor.
[16:18] Anne
    I know exactly what to do for croup.
[16:20] Anne
    You forget that I've looked after children.
[16:22] Anne
    Just wait till I get the ipecac bottle.
[16:36] Diana
    Well, Anne?
[16:38] Anne
    Minnie May has croup all right,
    just like the three pairs of twins.
[16:43] Anne
    But she's pretty bad.
[16:46] Anne
    Try to find fresh clothes
    and soft flannel cloths!
[16:48] Diana
    Right away.
[16:50] Anne
    Mary Joe, we must have lots of hot water.
[16:53] Mary
    Right!
[17:00] Anne
    Now Minnie May, drink this down.
[17:11] Anne
    Yes, that's a good girl.
[17:30] Diana
    You don't think she'll choke, do you?
[17:35] Diana
    Minnie May!
[17:36] Anne
    Minnie May!
[17:37] Anne
    Stay strong, Minnie May!
[17:48] Anne
    Matthew!
[17:49] Matthew
    Sorry. I had to go all
    the way to Spencervale.
[17:52] Doctor
    Where is the patient?
[17:53] Anne
    She's here.
[18:01] Doctor
    Sleeping soundly, I see.
[18:05] Doctor
    She'll be all right now.
[18:09] Anne
    I was awfully near giving up in despair.
[18:11] Anne
    I actually thought she was
    going to choke to death.
[18:14] Doctor
    Did you give her medicine?
[18:17] Anne
    I gave her ipecac,
[18:18] Anne
    and when the last dose went down,
     she began to get better right away.
[18:22] Anne
    You must just imagine my relief, doctor,
    because I can't express it in words.
[18:31] Anne
    You know there are some things that
    cannot be expressed in words.
[18:37] Anne
    Isn't it a wonderful morning?
[18:39] Anne
    I'm so glad I live in a world
    where there are white frosts.
[18:45] Anne
    I'm so sleepy. I can't go to school.
[18:49] Anne
    But I hate to stay home for
    Gil—some of the others
[18:56] Anne
    will get head of the class.
[19:00] Matthew
    Well now, I guess you'll manage all right.
[19:06] Doctor
    That little redheaded girl they have over
    at Cuthbert's saved that baby's life.
[19:12] Doctor
    It would have been too late
    by the time I got here.
[19:16] Mrs. Barry
    Did she really?
[19:19] Doctor
    I never saw anything like the eyes of her
    when she was explaining the case out to me.
[19:24] Doctor
    I can't express it in words.
[19:33] Anne
    Welcome home, Marilla.
[19:36] Marilla
    I guess you're hungry.
[19:38] Marilla
    There's soup in the pot,
[19:41] Marilla
    and you can get yourself some
    blue plum preserve out of the pantry.
[19:46] Marilla
    Matthew has been telling
    me about last night.
[19:51] Marilla
    I must say it was fortunate
    you knew what to do.
[19:54] Marilla
    I wouldn't have had any idea myself,
    for I never saw a case of croup.
[19:59] Anne
    Marilla, I—
[20:00] Marilla
    Don't talk while you're eating!
[20:04] Marilla
    I can tell by the look of you that
    you're just full up with speeches,
[20:08] Marilla
    but they'll keep.
[20:16] Marilla
    Mrs. Barry was here this afternoon, Anne.
[20:19] Marilla
    She says you saved Minnie May's life,
     and she is sorry for that affair of the wine.
[20:27] Marilla
    And she hopes you'll be good
    friends with Diana again.
[20:32] Anne
    Oh, Marilla, can I go right now?
[20:37] Anne
    I'll wash my dishes when I come back.
[20:39] Marilla
    Yes, yes, run along.
[20:42] Marilla
    I'll get your cap and wrap, so—
[20:47] Marilla
    I might as well call to the wind.
[20:49] Marilla
    It'll be a mercy if she doesn't
    catch her death of cold.
[20:54] Diana
    Anne!
[20:56] Anne
    Diana!
[21:19] Anne
    Just at present, I have
    a soul above red hair.
[21:21] Anne
    It must be lovely to be grown up, Marilla,
[21:25] Anne
    when just being treated as
    if you were is so nice.
[21:28] Marilla
    I don't know about that.
[21:31] Anne
    Diana showed me a new fancy crochet stitch.
[21:35] Anne
    And she gave me a beautiful card
    with a wreath of roses on it,
[21:39] Anne
    and a verse of poetry!
[21:42] Anne
    And we had fruitcake and...
[21:44] Diana
    Dear Anne,
[21:46] Diana
    If you love me
[21:49] Diana
    as I love you...
[21:53] Diana
    Nothing but death
[21:53] Anne
    Nothing but death
[21:58] Diana
    can part us two.
[21:58] Anne
    can part us two.
