[00:01] Anne
    It seems like no time at all
    since I came to Green Gables,
[00:05] Anne
    but spring is over,
    and I've turned twelve.
[00:09] Anne
    Today ends the school term.
[00:12] Anne
    Tomorrow begins summer vacation.
[00:18] Marilla
    I never thought you were
    so fond of Mr. Phillips.
[00:22] Anne
    I wasn't really so very fond of him.
[00:25] Anne
    I just cried because all the others did.
[00:27] Phillips
    The time has come for us to part.
[00:27] Anne
    Ruby Gillis has always declared
    she hated Mr. Phillips,
[00:32] Anne
    but just as soon as he got up to make his
    farewell speech, she burst into tears.
[00:36] Anne
    Oh, aren't partings heartrending?
[00:42] Anne
    But one can't feel quite
    in the depths of despair
[00:45] Anne
    with two months vacation
    before them, can they?
[00:49] Anne
    And besides, we met the new minister
    and his wife coming from the station!
[00:53] Anne
    The new minister looks ever so kind.
[00:57] Anne
    His wife is very pretty!
[01:01] Anne
    She was dressed in blue muslin
    with lovely puffed sleeves.
[01:05] Anne
    Jane Andrews said she thought puffed sleeves
    were too worldly for a minister's wife,
[01:10] Anne
    but I know what it is to
    long for puffed sleeves.
[01:15] Marilla
    I certainly don't.
[01:18] Marilla
    Well, I'm glad you like
    the look of the wife.
[01:21] Marilla
    We must have them both up
    to tea some day soon.
[01:24] Anne
    Oh, how lovely!
[01:25] Marilla
    But don't say a word to Matthew about it.
[01:29] Marilla
    He'd find some excuse
    to be away that day.
[01:31] Marilla
    A new minister's wife will
    frighten him to death.
[01:37] Anne
    I'll be as secret as the dead.
[01:38] Anne
    And we'll have a new teacher this fall.
[01:43] Anne
    Isn't it wonderful meeting new people!

SIGN    Let Us Look on the
    Bright Side of Things
[03:21] Anne
    Wait!
[03:23] Anne
    I've got you!
[03:28] Diana
    I can't run another step.
[03:30] Ruby
    Me neither.
[03:31] Jane
    Then let's play dares next.
[03:34] Anne; Diana; Ruby; Josie
    Dares?
[03:36] Jane
    The rules are simple.
[03:37] Jane
    You dare someone to do something.
[03:40] Jane
    If they do it right, they win.
    If they can't, whoever dared them wins.
[03:45] Ruby
    That sounds like fun.
[03:47] Jane
    Who will start?
[03:48] Josie
    I will.
[03:50] Josie
    And I dare... Diana!
[03:53] Josie
    Hop on your right leg around the
    garden without stopping once!
[03:57] Josie
    You lose if your left foot
    touches the ground at all.
[04:00] Diana
    I'll do it!
[04:04] Anne
    You can do it, Diana!
[04:06] Anne
    Look at that.
    She'll win if she keeps this up.
[04:10] Josie
    I don't know about that.
[04:19] Diana
    I guess I lose.
[04:22] Josie
    That wasn't so hard.
[04:26] Anne
    I'll dare you next, Josie!
[04:30] Anne
    Walk the top of that fence!
[04:45] Josie
    That dare wasn't so hard at all.
[04:50] Anne
    I don't think it's such a very wonderful
    thing to walk a little, low, board fence.
[04:54] Anne
    I knew a girl who could walk
    the ridgepole of a roof.
[04:58] Josie
    Did you? But you couldn't, anyhow.
[05:01] Anne
    Couldn't I?
[05:02] Diana
    Anne!
[05:03] Josie
    Then prove it.
[05:06] Josie
    Anne Shirley,
[05:08] Josie
    I dare you to climb up there
    and walk the ridgepole.
[05:13] Diana
    Don't you do it, Anne.
[05:14] Diana
    You'll fall off and be killed!
[05:16] Diana
    Josie, it isn't fair to dare anybody
    to do anything so dangerous!
[05:20] Josie
    But Anne doesn't have to take the dare.
[05:24] Josie
    She could always refuse.
[05:28] Anne
    I'll do it.
[05:29] Diana
    Anne!
[05:35] Diana
    Please, Anne! Don't do it!
[05:38] Anne
    I must do it.
[05:40] Anne
    My honor is at stake.
[05:44] Anne
    I shall walk that ridgepole, Diana,
    or perish in the attempt.
[06:26] Diana
    Anne!
[06:32] Diana; Ruby; Jane; Josie
    Anne!
[06:40] Diana
    Anne!
[06:43] Diana
    Anne! Wake up!
[06:45] Diana
    Anne! Anne!
[06:47] Diana
    Oh, Anne.
[06:49] Diana
    Anne, are you killed?
[06:51] Anne
    I am not certain.
    I think I am rendered unconscious.
[06:54] Diana
    Do you hurt anywhere?
[06:56] Anne
    My ankle.
[07:04] Marilla
    Matthew! It's Anne!
[07:08] Marilla
    Anne!
[07:09] Marilla
    What has happened to her?!
[07:10] William
    I think she was walking our
    ridgepole and she fell off.
[07:14] Anne
    Don't be very frightened.
[07:16] Anne
    I expect I have sprained my ankle.
[07:18] Anne
    But I might have broken my neck.
[07:22] Anne
    Let us look on the bright side of things.
[07:26] Marilla
    B-Bring her in here!
[07:28] Marilla
    We must send for a doctor!
[07:30] Marilla
    Anne?
[07:31] Marilla
    Anne?! Anne!
[07:34] Doctor
    Her ankle is broken.
[07:36] Doctor
    Give it six weeks of rest.
[07:39] Doctor
    Take care.
[07:41] Marilla
    Thank you.
[07:43] Anne
    I think I have been punished so much that
    you needn't be very cross with me, Marilla.
[07:50] Anne
    Aren't you very sorry for me?
[07:53] Marilla
    It was your own fault.
[07:55] Anne
    But what would you have done, Marilla,
[07:57] Anne
    if you had been dared to walk a ridgepole?
[08:01] Marilla
    I'd have stayed on good firm
    ground and let them dare away.
[08:07] Anne
    I won't be able to go
    around for six weeks.
[08:09] Anne
    Isn't it fortunate
    I've got such an imagination?
[08:12] Anne
    It will help me through
    splendidly, I expect.
[08:15] Anne
    What do people who haven't any imagination
    do when they break their bones?
[08:26] Anne
    It isn't very pleasant to be laid up;
[08:29] Lynde
    Anne!
[08:30] Anne
    but there is a bright side to it.
[08:30] Lynde
    Oh, don't give me such a fright, child!
[08:34] Mrs. Allan
    How do you feel, Anne?
[08:34] Anne
    You find out how many friends you have.
[08:35] Mrs. Allan
    Everyone has been worried about you.
[08:38] Jane
    It was my fault, Miss Cuthbert!
    I started the daring.
[08:43] Josie
    I dared her to walk the ridgepole.
[08:47] Jane
    So don't punish Anne any more!
[08:49] Josie
    If you must be cross at
    someone, be cross at me!
[08:52] Marilla
    Why, Anne,
[08:54] Marilla
    what have you been putting
    into these girls' heads?
[08:57] Diana
    Ta-da!
[08:59] Anne
    I-Is that what I think it is?
[09:01] Diana
    Mrs. Morgan's latest!
[09:03] Diana
    You won't believe the reversal at the end!
[09:06] Anne
    I can't wait!
[09:08] Anne
    You've been over every day,
    and I can read all the books I like.
[09:12] Anne
    Invalid life isn't all bad, is it?
[09:15] Marilla
    Of all the absurdity!
[09:17] Marilla
    School is back in session.
[09:20] Marilla
    What about that new teacher?
[09:23] Diana
    Miss Stacy is perfectly sweet.
[09:28] Diana
    She has the loveliest fair curly hair
    and such fascinating eyes!
[09:34] Anne
    Every week she has a recitation
[09:38] Anne
    or takes everyone to study flowers
    and birds in the woods.
[09:41] Anne
    And they have physical culture exercises
    every morning and evening.
[09:43] Anne
    Have you ever seen a teacher
    half so splendid?!
[09:46] Marilla
    There's one thing plain to be seen, Anne,
[09:49] Marilla
    and that is that your fall off the
    Barry roof hasn't injured your tongue at all.
[10:07] Diana
    We've gotten up to learning this poem.
[10:19] Stacy
    Good morning, everyone.
[10:21] Students
    Good morning.
[10:23] Diana
    Well? Isn't she pretty?
[10:25] Anne
    Yes.
[10:26] Stacy
    Anne Shirley's ankle has healed,
    and she's come back to school today.
[10:32] Stacy
    It's a pleasure to meet you, Anne.
[10:34] Anne
    No, the pleasure is mine!
[10:43] Anne
    You made all this, Miss Stacy?
[10:45] Stacy
    Yes, I did.
[10:46] Diana
    How splendid!
[10:48] Stacy
    I'll follow your rules and share.
[10:51] Stacy
    Now, eat up.
[10:52] Anne
    Oh, thank you!
[10:56] Anne
    Scrumptious!
[10:57] Anne
    Please, have some of mine.
[10:59] Diana
    And mine.
[11:01] Stacy
    In that case, I don't mind if I do.
[11:09] Anne
    Wait, where is Miss Stacy?
[11:19] Stacy
    That concludes our lesson for today,
    but I have a suggestion to make.
[11:24] Stacy
    Why don't we all get up a
    concert this Christmas
[11:28] Stacy
    to help raise money for a schoolhouse flag?
[11:32] Stacy
    You can see the school doesn't have one.
[11:34] Stacy
    And besides, I'm sure a concert
    will be fun for everybody.
[11:38] Ruby
    That sounds wonderful!
[11:40] Carrie
    Simply lovely!
[11:41] Jimmy
    I'd like to join in.
[11:43] Fred
    And me!
[11:44] Stacy
    Then let's decide on a program at once.
[11:50] Anne
    I love Miss Stacy with my whole heart!
[11:53] Anne
    She has such a sweet voice.
[11:55] Anne
    When she pronounces my name I feel
    instinctively that she's spelling it with an e.
[12:01] Matthew
    Well now, that's nice.
[12:03] Anne
    And I'm going to recite at
    the Christmas concert!
[12:09] Marilla
    I only hope it does more than take time
    that ought to be put on your lessons.
[12:13] Marilla
    If you have time for gadding about,
    better spend it improving your geometry.
[12:19] Marilla
    I don't approve of children's getting up
    concerts and racing about to practices.
[12:37] Matthew
    Well now, I reckon it's going
    to be a pretty good concert.
[12:45] Matthew
    And I expect you'll do your part fine.
[12:53] Anne
    Thank you, Matthew.
[13:02] Anne
    "Dear native brook!"
[13:04] Anne
    "Wild streamlet of the West!"
[13:07] Diana
    Splendid, Anne!
[13:12] Josie
    Say, Anne, what will you
    wear to the concert?
[13:16] Anne
    What will I wear?
[13:17] Anne
    This, I suppose.
[13:24] Matthew
    They all have puffed
    sleeves! All but Anne!
[13:35] Clerk
    What can I do for you this
    evening, Mr. Cuthbert?
[13:38] Matthew
    Have you any—
[13:40] Matthew
    any—any—well now,
    say any garden rakes?
[13:44] Clerk
    Why, yes.
[13:50] Clerk
    Anything else tonight, Mr. Cuthbert?
[13:52] Matthew
    Well now, I might as well—take—
    that is—look at—buy some...
[13:56] Matthew
    some hayseed.
[13:59] Clerk
    We only keep hayseed in the spring.
[14:02] Matthew
    Oh, certainly—certainly—
    just as you say.
[14:05] Clerk
    Mr. Cuthbert! You haven't paid.
[14:06] Matthew
    Oh.
[14:08] Matthew
    Sorry about that.
[14:12] Matthew
    Well, now...
[14:14] Clerk
    Yes, Mr. Cuthbert?
[14:14] Matthew
    if it isn't too much trouble,
[14:18] Matthew
    I might as well—that is—
    I'd like to look at—at—some...
[14:23] Marilla
    Brown sugar!
[14:27] Marilla
    And we have plenty of rakes in the barn.
[14:31] Matthew
    I thought it might come in handy sometime.
[14:40] Lynde
    Pick out a dress for you to give Anne?
[14:41] Matthew
    I couldn't ask Marilla, you see.
[14:45] Lynde
    Have you something particular in mind?
[14:49] Matthew
    I dunno. The sleeves...
[14:51] Lynde
    Puffs? Of course!
[15:07] Lynde
    I have just what you ordered.
[15:10] Marilla
    And what did you order?
[15:15] Marilla
    So this is what Matthew has been grinning
    about to himself for two weeks, is it?
[15:24] Anne
    Merry Christmas, Marilla!
[15:26] Anne
    Merry Christmas, Matthew!
[15:28] Anne
    Isn't it a lovely Christmas?
    I'm so glad it's white.
[15:34] Anne
    What is the matter?
[15:40] Matthew
    Here, Anne.
[15:42] Anne
    Why, Matthew, is that for me?
[15:45] Matthew
    Open it and see.
[15:54] Matthew
    You can wear it to your concert tonight.
[16:03] Matthew
    Why—why—Anne,
    don't you like it?
[16:07] Anne
    Like it! Oh, Matthew!
[16:12] Anne
    Matthew, it's perfectly exquisite!
[16:17] Anne
    Oh, I can never thank you enough.
[16:20] Anne
    Oh, it seems to me this
    must be a happy dream.
[16:25] Marilla
    I must say, Anne, I don't
    think you needed the dress;
[16:30] Marilla
    but since Matthew has got it for you,
    see that you take good care of it.
[16:34] Anne
    Of course I will.
[16:35] Anne
    I swear by these sleeves that
    I'll make a success of it.
[16:40] Anne
    So you must come watch me recite.
[16:43] Matthew
    We will.
[16:48] Stacy
    That was Ruby and Jane
    in The Faerie Queene.
[16:52] Ruby
    Good luck.
[16:53] Anne
    Thank you.
[16:54] Stacy
    Next, a recitation of "To the River Otter."
[16:58] Stacy
    Anne Shirley, please step forward.
[17:43] Anne
    Dear native brook!
[17:46] Anne
    wild streamlet of the West!
[17:51] Anne
    Thy crossing plank,
    thy marge with willows grey,
[17:56] Anne
    And bedded sand that,
     veined with various dyes,
[18:01] Anne
    Gleamed through thy bright transparence!
[18:05] Anne
    On my way,
[18:07] Anne
    Visions of childhood!
[18:09] Anne
    oft have ye beguiled
[18:12] Anne
    Lone manhood's cares,
[18:16] Anne
    yet waking fondest sighs:
[18:20] Anne
    Ah! That once more
     I were a careless child!
[18:41] Diana
    Oh, Anne! That was simply splendid.
[18:44] Anne
    I couldn't have done without all of you.
[18:46] Stacy
    Next, Diana Barry will sing
    "The Island Hymn."
[18:51] Diana
    Oh, dear. I feel so nervous.
[18:54] Diana
    Can I really go up and sing like this?
[18:56] Anne
    Find your mother and father
    in the audience.
[19:00] Anne
    That should steady your nerves.
[19:02] Diana
    I could never!
[19:03] Diana
    Looking at all the people watching
    would only make it worse.
[19:06] Anne
    Then look at me.
[19:08] Anne
    You should be able to do that,
    since I'll be in the front row.
[19:14] Anne
    Now, look at me—nowhere else—and sing.
[19:17] Diana
    All right. I'll try.
[19:19] Anne
    I know you'll bring down the house.
[19:28] Anne
    Hasn't it been a brilliant evening?
[19:30] Diana
    Yes. I guess we must have made
    as much as ten dollars.
[19:34] Anne
    I meant your solo, Diana.
[19:38] Anne
    I felt prouder than you
    did when it was encored.
[19:41] Anne
    I just said to myself, "It is my dear
    bosom friend who is so honored."
[19:47] Diana
    You deserve all the praise, Anne.
[19:49] Diana
    You never took your eyes off me.
[19:52] Diana
    And you said something, didn't you?
[19:57] Diana
    What was it?
[19:59] Anne
    What did I say?
[20:11] Anne
    You'll do fine.
[20:14] Anne
    I think I said, "You'll do fine,"
    although I can't be certain.
[20:19] Diana
    Can't you?
[20:21] Diana
    I understand, "You'll do fine,"
    but don't you know what you said?
[20:25] Anne
    I said I can't be certain because I can't.
[20:29] Diana
    Speaking of uncertain things,
[20:31] Diana
    just before I got on stage...
[20:34] (Flashback) Diana
    Anne?
[20:38] Diana
    I saw Gilbert pick up a rose off the floor.
[20:42] Diana
    I think it was the rose
    you wore in your hair.
[20:46] Anne
    I-It's nothing to me
    what that person does.
[20:50] Diana
    Wait, Anne!
[20:52] Diana
    I can't be certain,
    but I think Gilbert is...
[20:56] Matthew
    Well now, I guess our Anne
    did as well as any of them.
[21:00] Marilla
    Yes, she did.
[21:01] Marilla
    I've been kind of opposed to this concert
    scheme, but I was proud of Anne tonight.
[21:06] Matthew
    She's brighter than we
    give her credit for.
[21:11] Marilla
    Yes, she'll need something more
    than Avonlea school by and by.
[21:17] Matthew
    We must see what we can do
    for her some of these days.
[21:26] Marilla
    Matthew, I guess the best thing we can do
    for her will be to send her to Queen's.
[21:36] Matthew
    Well now, it'll do no harm to
    be thinking it over off and on.
[21:44] Marilla
    Mrs. Lynde made that dress a mite too long,
    and it makes Anne look so tall.
