0:01:22 > 0:01:25Diana, isn't that Matthew Cuthbert?
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- Yes, Mother, why are you so surprised?- Where can he be going?
0:01:30 > 0:01:37- He doesn't go to town this time of year, he never visits.- Maybe he's taking a drive.- But he's dressed up.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45He isn't driving fast enough to be going for a doctor.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49I'm clean puzzled. I won't have a moment's peace of mind
0:01:49 > 0:01:56- till I find out from his sister, Marilla.- Can I go with you? - No, you'd better get churning.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59KNOCK AT DOOR
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Come in.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Good morning, Marilla. - Good morning, Rachel.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- How is everyone at Barry's House? - Pretty well.
0:02:09 > 0:02:16I was afraid you weren't. I saw your brother ride by and thought he was going to the doctor's.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Matthew's gone to Bright River.
0:02:18 > 0:02:25- We're getting a little boy from an orphanage in Nova Scotia and he's coming on the train today.- A boy?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29You and Matthew Cuthbert are adopting a boy?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Well, the world is certainly turning upside down!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I'll be surprised at nothing after this!
0:02:35 > 0:02:43- What put such a notion into your head?- Matthew's getting on. He's 60, and he isn't so spry as he was.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45His heart troubles him
0:02:45 > 0:02:49and you know how desperate hard it is to get hired help!
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Can I get you a cup of tea?
0:02:51 > 0:02:57How can I drink tea when I'm so excited I'm ready to burst? How did you know the boy was coming?
0:02:57 > 0:03:04We had a telegram from Mrs Spencer saying she'd drop the boy off at Bright River station.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Matthew's gone to meet him.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Well, Marilla, you know I pride myself on speaking my mind.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I think you're doing a mighty risky thing!
0:03:16 > 0:03:22I read about a man and his wife who took a boy out of an orphanage and he set fire to the house.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27In New Brunswick, an orphan asylum child put strychnine in the well!
0:03:27 > 0:03:33- The whole family died in fearful agony. It was a girl that time. - We're not getting a girl.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49DISTANT TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Hello, Angus. Is that the 1.35 just left?
0:03:53 > 0:04:01- Yes, you're late. A passenger was dropped off for you.- That's why I'm here.- She preferred to stay outside.
0:04:01 > 0:04:08- She?- Yeah, she said she wouldn't go inside because there's no scope for the imagination!
0:04:08 > 0:04:12We're not expecting a girl. It's a boy I've come for.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16She won't have trouble explaining. She's got a tongue of her own!
0:04:30 > 0:04:36I suppose you're Mr Matthew Cuthbert! My name is Anne Shirley. Anne with an E.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42- I was so afraid you weren't coming. I was imagining why. - Isn't there some mistake?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46You're Mr Matthew Cuthbert, aren't you?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Yes.- If you're Mr Matthew Cuthbert, there can't be no mistake.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Mrs Spencer told me to wait right here for you.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05I can carry it. If it isn't carried a certain way, the handle falls off.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I know the exact knack of it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Oh, I must have lost the knack!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Well, don't you think we'd better be going?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I guess it'll be all right.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37We've got to drive a long piece yet, haven't we?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Oh, I'm glad because I love driving!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Oh, it seems so wonderful
0:05:43 > 0:05:46that I'm going to live with you and belong to you!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52As I was saying, I never belonged to anyone before -
0:05:52 > 0:05:57just to the asylum - and that was worse than anything you can imagine!
0:05:57 > 0:06:04Mrs Spencer said it was wicked to talk like that but I don't mean to be wicked. Am I talking too much?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08You can talk as much as you like. I don't mind.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Oh, I know you and I are going to get along just wonderfully!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Oh, I just love this place already!
0:06:16 > 0:06:22I've always heard that Prince Edward Island was the most beautiful place in the world.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27I used to imagine that I lived here, but I never expected that I would.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Do you imagine much?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Well... No.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35At the asylum I used to imagine all kinds of things.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Sometimes I'd imagine that the girl next to me
0:06:38 > 0:06:42was the daughter of an earl who had been stolen in infancy
0:06:42 > 0:06:47by a cruel nurse who had died before she could confess.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Isn't this beautiful?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59What does that tree all white and lacy make you think of?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Well, now, I don't know.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04A bride, of course!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06A bride in white,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09with a lovely misty veil!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Just now, I feel pretty nearly perfectly happy.
0:07:15 > 0:07:22- I can't feel exactly perfectly happy because... What colour would you call this?- It's red, isn't it?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Yes, and that's why I can't feel perfectly happy.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31I know I'm skinny and freckled and my eyes are green, but I can imagine
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I have a beautiful rose-leaf complexion and violet eyes,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38but I cannot imagine my red hair away.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I do my best, but it's no use.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45It will be my lifelong sorrow.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51I read of a girl once in a novel who was divinely beautiful.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57- Have you ever imagined what it must be like to be divinely beautiful? - Well, now, no, I haven't.
0:07:57 > 0:08:04Oh, I have - often. Would you rather be angelically good, dazzlingly clever or divinely beautiful?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well, now...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I don't exactly know.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Anyhow, we're getting nigh home.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30That's the house.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Why, it has gables! What do you call it?- Oh, just the house.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38What if I gave it a new name? Something more euphonious.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Let me see...
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Gables. And they're green. Green Gables!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I think that's nice.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52From now on that's what we'll call it - Green Gables!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Oh, it's too beautiful to be true!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I know I shall live here
0:08:57 > 0:09:00until I grow to be a real old lady with grey hair!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I'm overwhelmed!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Marilla!
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Marilla, this is...- How do you do?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Matthew Cuthbert, who's that? - I wanted to tell you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:39- Where's the boy?- The station master at Bright River...- Where's the boy?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42There wasn't any boy. There was only her.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- We told Mrs Spencer to bring a boy! - She didn't. She only brought her.
0:09:47 > 0:09:54- I figured she couldn't be left there no matter what the mistake was. - A pretty kettle of fish!
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- This is what comes of not going ourselves!- You don't want me because I'm not a boy?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Nobody ever did want me!
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I might have known it was too beautiful to last!
0:10:07 > 0:10:13- Well, don't cry about it. - I'm not crying, only this is the most tragical thing
0:10:13 > 0:10:15that's ever happened to me!
0:10:17 > 0:10:24- What's your name?- Will you call me Cordelia?- Call you Cordelia? - Don't you think it's a pretty name?
0:10:24 > 0:10:30- Is that your name?- No, but I'd love to be called Cordelia. - What on earth do you mean?
0:10:30 > 0:10:36- It's such a perfectly elegant name, don't you think?- What is your name?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Anne Shirley. Isn't that unromantic? - No. Anne is a good, plain, sensible name.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45- You've no need to be ashamed of it. - I'm not, only I like Cordelia better.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I've always imagined I should have been named Cordelia.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52If you're going to call me Anne,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- it's with an E. - What difference does it make?
0:10:55 > 0:11:01Anne with an E looks distinguished. If you call me that, I'll try and reconcile myself to it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:08- Anne with an E, how did you get here instead of a boy?- If I were beautiful, would you keep me?- No.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12A girl would be of no use to us. Don't stand there gaping.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Come along. We'll have to put you somewhere.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Now, take your hat off.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23- You'll have to have supper of course.- Oh, I can never eat when I'm in the depths of despair!
0:11:23 > 0:11:30- Depths of despair!- Can you eat when you're that way?- I've never been that way.- Can't you imagine it?
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- No, I can't. There's your room. Wash up and come down.- Yes, ma'am.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Tomorrow I'll see who's responsible for all this rigamaroling.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52I'll visit Mrs Spencer. This girl goes back to the asylum tomorrow.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I suppose so.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You suppose so? Don't you know it?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Well, she's a real nice little thing. It's a pity to send her back
0:12:01 > 0:12:04when she's so set on staying here.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08That child has bewitched you! I can see you want to keep her!
0:12:08 > 0:12:15- You should have heard her talking coming from the station.- I don't like children with too much to say.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21- As far as I'm concerned, it's a closed book! - I can hire a boy to help me...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24..and she'd be company for you.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I'm not suffering for company. She's going back where she came from!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Watch out for my feet.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Hurry, child!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I was just taking a farewell look at the place.
0:12:47 > 0:12:55In the years to come, I'll look back on Green Gables as a beautiful dream that I hope will always haunt me.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Don't you think that...? - Never mind that.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Goodbye, Mr Cuthbert.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- I shall never forget your kindness. - Goodbye.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Giddy-up!
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Matthew, don't forget to take the butter out of the churn!
0:13:12 > 0:13:13And close the gate to the pasture!
0:13:13 > 0:13:17If Mrs Barry comes over, return that sugar I borrowed!
0:13:25 > 0:13:29My dear Mrs Spencer, how could such a mistake have happened?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33No harm done. I'm sure Mrs Blewett will take her.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Mama, Mrs Spencer's here with another lady!
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Good morning. This is Miss Cuthbert, Mrs Blewett.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- And this is the girl I told you about.- Come in.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I got a stew on.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I'll be right back.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Sit down, Miss Cuthbert.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I still can't understand how it happened...
0:14:22 > 0:14:26..how ever in the world you made such a mistake!
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I understand how you feel. That's why I brought you here.
0:14:30 > 0:14:37It can all be straightened out. Mrs Blewett will take Anne. She needs help with the children.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs Spencer.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43There's so much to do.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- What's your name? - Anne Shirley.- How old are you?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- 14.- There ain't much to you, but you look wiry.
0:14:55 > 0:15:01Your kind are the best. If I take you, you'll have to be a good girl,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03good and smart and respectful.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I'll expect you to earn your keep.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Well, I might as well take her off your hands right now.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Well, I don't know.
0:15:30 > 0:15:37I'd better take her home again and talk it over with Matthew. I won't do anything without consulting him.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48If we make up our minds not to keep her,
0:15:48 > 0:15:53I'll send her back tomorrow. Would that be all right, Mrs Blewett?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I suppose it will have to be.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Good day.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I wouldn't give a dog I liked to that Blewett woman.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Matthew, aren't you going to say anything?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I wish you were more like other men and would talk things out -
0:16:18 > 0:16:22somebody who answers back and argues you into reason.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25What's to be done with men who just look?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Here's your nightgown.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Thank you! It's...- Get into it!
0:16:42 > 0:16:50- Don't forget to say your prayers.- Do you think they're essential?- Weren't you taught to say your prayers?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I used to at the Sunday school, but weekdays I was just too tired.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Well...
0:16:56 > 0:17:00You'll say your prayers while you're under my roof!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Why of course, if you want me to!
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- Kneel down.- That's the part I never could understand.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Why must people kneel down to pray?
0:17:11 > 0:17:16If I really wanted to pray, I'd go to a great big field all alone.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22Then I'd look up at the beautiful sky that looks as if there's no end to its blueness,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26and I'd imagine it was the dome of a great cathedral
0:17:26 > 0:17:28or the canopy of heaven,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30and then I'd just feel a prayer.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Well, what am I to say?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Well, Anne, I think you're big enough to pray for yourself.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Just thank God for His blessings,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53and ask Him humbly for the things you want.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'll try and do my best.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Gracious Heavenly Father, I thank Thee for everything.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05The things I want are so numerous, it would take a great deal of time to name them,
0:18:05 > 0:18:11so I'll only mention the two most important. Please let me stay here,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14and please make me beautiful when I grow up.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I remain yours respectfully, Anne Shirley.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23There, did I do all right?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Yes.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Goodnight, Anne.- Goodnight.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Oh, Miss Cuthbert!
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I should have said "Amen" instead of "Yours respectfully"!
0:18:58 > 0:19:04- Do you suppose it will make any difference? - No, I don't suppose it will.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- Come on, child, finish your breakfast.- I'm all finished.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- You haven't eaten anything.- Please tell me if you're sending me back.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38I've tried to be patient all morning but I can't bear it any longer. Please tell me!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Go tidy your room and dress your best!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- But it's all tidy and this is my best.- Then go wash your hands.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Mrs Barry's coming up the path and I want you to look your nicest.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Good morning, Marilla. - Come in, Rachel.- Thank you.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02I hope everything's all right so far. It's a great responsibility you've taken on.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07There's no telling how a child like that will turn out.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- I don't want to discourage you. - I'm not feeling discouraged.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- I suppose you want to see Anne. - Anne? A girl?- Yes. Anne!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Anne Shirley!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- This is Mrs Barry.- How do you do?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Well, they didn't pick you for looks!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34A bit skinny.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38And did anyone ever see such hair?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Red as carrots!
0:20:40 > 0:20:46How dare you say I'm skinny and red-headed? You're a rude, unfeeling woman and I hate you!
0:20:46 > 0:20:52- Anne!- How would you like to have nasty things said about you? That you're ugly and gossipy,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- and you're sour as an old crab apple?- Anne! Anne Shirley!
0:20:58 > 0:21:05- Well! I don't envy you your job of bringing that up!- You shouldn't have twitted her about her looks, Rachel.
0:21:05 > 0:21:14- Marilla Cuthbert!- Perhaps she hasn't been taught what's right, and you were hard on her, Rachel!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I see I'll have to be careful about what I say.
0:21:16 > 0:21:23Orphans from goodness knows where seem to be considered before anything else!
0:21:23 > 0:21:30If you'll take my advice, you'll do the talking to her with a good-sized birch switch! Goodbye, Marilla.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Come to see me as often as you can,
0:21:32 > 0:21:39- but don't expect me to visit here again if I'm to be insulted in such a fashion!- Goodbye, Rachel.
0:21:57 > 0:22:03That was a nice way for you to behave and of all people, you picked on Rachel Barry!
0:22:03 > 0:22:07She had no right to call me skinny and red-headed!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09She may have been too outspoken,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13but she's your elder, a stranger and my visitor -
0:22:13 > 0:22:16all reasons why you should have been respectful.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19You'll go to her and say sorry!
0:22:19 > 0:22:23I could never do that! You can punish me in any way you like.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27You can shut me up in a dark dungeon inhabited by snakes and toads,
0:22:27 > 0:22:32and you can feed me on bread and water and I shall not complain,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35but I cannot ask Mrs Barry to forgive me!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38If you expect to remain under my roof,
0:22:38 > 0:22:46- you'll apologise to Mrs Barry!- Then I'll leave now! Send me back to the orphanage! I'll never say I'm sorry!
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Sounds as if she meant it. - She's determined, all right.
0:22:51 > 0:22:57Well, maybe it's best. I've a feeling we would never like her.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Matthew Cuthbert, don't form opinions for me!
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I never said I do or don't like her!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06When the time comes, I'll speak my own mind!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Thank you, Mr Cuthbert.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Well, I see you're leaving.
0:24:32 > 0:24:38- How could I remain here after all those things Mrs Barry said about me?- I can see that.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44I'll never say I'm sorry, because I'm not! I can't even imagine I'm sorry!
0:24:44 > 0:24:50Marilla thinks it's best you're going back and I don't know but what she's right.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53It's kind of a lonely place for a little girl here -
0:24:53 > 0:24:56no other children, you know,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58and, well, after all...
0:24:58 > 0:25:01you're used to the orphanage,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and all your old friends are there.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I guess you'd like it better.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Of course, if you'd rather stay around here,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12you can always go to Mrs Blewett.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Mr Cuthbert...- I might be able
0:25:14 > 0:25:18to see you sometimes... but...perhaps...
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Well, I guess you'd better go back to the orphanage.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Mr Cuthbert, suppose I changed my mind?- What about Mrs Barry?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Marilla's dreadfully determined.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34I'd just rather die than tell Mrs Barry I'm sorry!
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Don't you think you'd better do it and get it over with?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41You know, you don't have to be exactly sorry.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43You can be sort of sorry
0:25:43 > 0:25:45and that will smooth it over.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well, if you really want me to...
0:25:48 > 0:25:49I've been thinking,
0:25:49 > 0:25:54it would be terribly lonesome downstairs without you.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00- The sooner you...- I'll do it! Go downstairs and I'll tell Miss Cuthbert that I've repented!
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Good!
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Now don't you tell her that I said anything about it.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12She might think that I was interfering,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15and that would spoil the whole thing.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It'll be just our secret.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Wild horses couldn't drag the secret from me!
0:26:25 > 0:26:28How could wild horses drag a secret from anybody?
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Miss Cuthbert!
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- What is it?- I'm sorry I lost my temper and said those rude things
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- and I'm willing to tell Mrs Barry so.- Get your hat
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- and I'll take you there at once. - Yes, ma'am.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I knew if we left her alone, she'd come to her senses!
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Matthew Cuthbert, you must admit I have a way about things!
0:27:33 > 0:27:39- Go in the house, Diana. What is about to happen may not be for your ears.- Oh, Mother!- Go on in.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Mrs Barry, I'm extremely sorry I behaved so terribly.
0:28:00 > 0:28:06I should never have disgraced the dear friends who have let me stay at Green Gables.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09I'm a wicked, ungrateful girl
0:28:09 > 0:28:14who deserves to be punished and cast out by respectable people for ever.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19What you said was true. My hair is red and I am skinny and ugly.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25What I said about you is true, too, but I shouldn't have said it. Oh, please, Mrs Barry,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27please, please forgive me!
0:28:27 > 0:28:31If you refuse, it will be a lifelong sorrow to me.
0:28:31 > 0:28:38You wouldn't want to inflict a lifelong sorrow on a poor little orphan! I'm sure you wouldn't!
0:28:38 > 0:28:42Oh, Mrs Barry, please say you'll forgive me!
0:28:42 > 0:28:48Get up, child. Of course I forgive you! I was a little hard on you but you mustn't mind me.
0:28:48 > 0:28:55And don't worry about your hair. I knew a girl whose hair was every bit as red as yours when she was young.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59When she grew up, it darkened to a real handsome auburn.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04You've given me hope! I shall always feel that you're a benefactor!
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- LAUGHTER - Come here, dear!
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Yes, Mother?
0:29:13 > 0:29:18- This is my little girl, Diana. - This is Anne Shirley. - Anne with an E.- Hello.- Hello.
0:29:18 > 0:29:24- Take Anne to the garden and show her the flowers.- I'd love that!- Come on!
0:29:25 > 0:29:33Matthew and I were thinking that though we haven't exactly decided to keep her, she ought to go to school.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Diana will pick her up in the morning.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Well, you wash dishes pretty well.
0:29:51 > 0:29:57I'm better at looking after children. I had so much experience at the orphanage.
0:29:57 > 0:30:04- It's a pity you haven't any here for me to look after.- I don't feel as if I want any more children here.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06You're problem enough!
0:30:07 > 0:30:10What's to be done with you I don't know.
0:30:10 > 0:30:18- Matthew is the most aggravating man! - Your brother's lovely! I felt he was a kindred spirit as soon as we met!
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Well, you're both odd enough, if that's what you mean!
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Don't get it into your head we've definitely decided to keep you,
0:30:35 > 0:30:39but in the meantime, your schooling mustn't be neglected.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Diana is coming to take you. - I'll try to be good in school.
0:30:43 > 0:30:50- Of course, it will be uphill work. - Behaviour is as important as fine marks. I expect both from you.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55What am I to call you? Miss Cuthbert or may I call you Aunt Marilla?
0:30:55 > 0:31:01No, you can call me just plain Marilla. Being called Miss Cuthbert will make me nervous.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- I'd love to call you Aunt Marilla! - I'm not your aunt.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07That name doesn't belong to me.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- You could imagine you were my aunt. - I could not.
0:31:10 > 0:31:16- Don't you ever imagine things differently from what they really are?- No, I never imagine things
0:31:16 > 0:31:18differently from what they really are!
0:31:18 > 0:31:23- Oh, Marilla, how much you miss!- Hmph!
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- What's your name?- My name is Anne Shirley. Anne spelt with an E.
0:31:35 > 0:31:41- We pride ourselves on our scholastic record and hope that you will, too. - I'm sure I will!
0:31:41 > 0:31:44My father and mother were teachers,
0:31:44 > 0:31:49- so that gives us something in common!- You'll sit with Diana Barry.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Thank you, Mr Phillips! Diana's my bosom friend!
0:31:53 > 0:31:59- I'll get your history later. - I can tell you that right now. I'm 14 and I was born in Halifax.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04My father's name was Walter Shirley and my mother's name was Bertha.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08I'm so glad my parents had names that were nice.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12It would be such a disgrace to have a father named Hezekiah!
0:32:12 > 0:32:19- It doesn't matter what a man's name is as long as he behaves.- Well, I read that a rose by any other name
0:32:19 > 0:32:23would smell as sweet, but I don't believe a rose would be as nice
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- if it were called a skunk cabbage! - Please take your seat with Diana.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Yes, sir.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Now we will resume our geography lesson where we left off yesterday.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I want you to pay particular attention.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50(That's Gilbert Blythe. Don't you think he's handsome?)
0:32:50 > 0:32:53MR PHILLIPS TALKS IN THE BACKGROUND
0:33:13 > 0:33:15(The teacher!)
0:33:20 > 0:33:22(Carrots!)
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Carrots!
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- You mean, hateful boy!- Ow!
0:33:27 > 0:33:35- How dare you?- Well, Anne Shirley, I must say this is very nice behaviour for your first day in school!
0:33:38 > 0:33:42It was my fault, Mr Phillips. I teased her.
0:33:42 > 0:33:50I'm used to the eccentricities of Gilbert Blythe, but I'm sorry to see a new pupil display such temper!
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Face the class!
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Anne...
0:34:12 > 0:34:14..you will write that 100 times.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52CHILDREN CHATTER
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I'm awful sorry I made fun of your hair.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Honest I am!
0:35:14 > 0:35:19That's the first time I ever heard Gilbert Blythe apologise!
0:35:19 > 0:35:22You shouldn't be angry with him. He calls me toe-head!
0:35:22 > 0:35:28There's a great difference between being called toe-head and being called carrots!
0:35:28 > 0:35:34I shall never forgive him! Gilbert Blythe has hurt my feelings excruciatingly!
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Anne!- Yes, ma'am?
0:35:47 > 0:35:52Never mind appearing so innocent. I've heard all about it - and your first day at school!
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- But...- I'm so ashamed of you,
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- breaking slates over other students' heads!- He called me carrots!
0:35:58 > 0:36:05- You had no right to lose your temper.- He hadn't any right to say it! Gilbert Blythe is a...
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Who did you say?- Gilbert Blythe.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Did you smash your slate?
0:36:14 > 0:36:19- Yes.- Well, go upstairs and get ready for supper.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Run along, you must be starved.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31That's what I couldn't understand.
0:36:31 > 0:36:37I thought Marilla would give me a tanning or at least a talking-to.
0:36:37 > 0:36:43Marilla doesn't like Gilbert. It isn't his fault - it's his father's.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Why, Diana, what do you mean?
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I heard Mother talking to Mrs Blair.
0:36:47 > 0:36:54It was about Gilbert's father running away with the girl that was to marry Matthew.
0:36:54 > 0:37:01Mother said Matthew was never the same and Marilla didn't get married so she could take care of Matthew.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06Diana, this is terribly interesting! What else did they say?
0:37:06 > 0:37:11That Gilbert isn't even allowed to set foot on the Cuthbert property.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18I'm going to find out more about this!
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Warm day, isn't it?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Not too warm to do your churning!
0:37:28 > 0:37:33- Would you mind if I asked you sort of a personal question?- What is it?
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Are you sure you're not harbouring any ill feeling against me
0:37:38 > 0:37:41because I broke my slate over Gilbert Blythe's head?
0:37:41 > 0:37:49You probably had just cause. Do you think it's nice to invite Diana here to do your work? Run along now.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I'm going to try Matthew!
0:37:59 > 0:38:03And so poor Juliet died and so did Romeo.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Now wasn't that sad?
0:38:05 > 0:38:10- Yes.- Just think of it - both of them dead in the full bloom of youth,
0:38:10 > 0:38:14all because two families fought with each other.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18You don't think people act that way today, do you?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Anne, when you get as old as I am,
0:38:20 > 0:38:24you'll know the world hasn't changed very much.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29Did you know that I hit Gilbert Blythe over the head with my slate?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I heard something about it.
0:38:31 > 0:38:39- I like that story about Romeo and Juliet.- Do you know any up-to-date stories like that, Mr Cuthbert?- No.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44And if I were you, I wouldn't tell the ones you imagine around here,
0:38:44 > 0:38:46especially to Marilla!
0:38:46 > 0:38:51Oh, I won't if you don't want me to, but I'd sort of like to know why.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Well, Marilla doesn't believe in stories.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Is that the only reason?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59It's getting kind of late, Anne.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I think we'd better start for the house.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Love, marriage, friendship, courtship, hate...- Ssh! Marilla!
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Good morning, Marilla. - Morning, Diana.
0:39:19 > 0:39:27- You look perfectly scrumptious! - You wouldn't expect me to go to the Ladies Aid in my kitchen clothes.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32Some day I'm going to have a brooch like that. Amethysts are lovely!
0:39:32 > 0:39:37That's what I imagined diamonds were like - lovely, glimmering purple stones.
0:39:37 > 0:39:45- Would it be asking too much if some day you'd grant me the privilege of wearing it for an hour?- We'll see.
0:39:45 > 0:39:52- I should love to see it on my green brocade with the flounce.- Or on your foulard with the white spots.
0:39:52 > 0:39:59- Or maybe on my taffeta!- What are you babbling about?- We're imagining what to wear on the hay ride.
0:39:59 > 0:40:06Of course, it wouldn't matter what the dress was made of as long as it had puffed sleeves.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- Puffed sleeves are beautiful!- Stop chattering and run along to school.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Matthew, get my lunch basket.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20Oh, Marilla, may I tell Mr Phillips I'm going on the hay ride?
0:40:20 > 0:40:25- I'll think about it when the time comes.- Bye, Marilla. Bye, Matthew.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43- Will Marilla go on the hay ride?- I don't suppose so.- Matthew?- He might.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47If you hadn't fought with Gilbert, he might have taken you.
0:40:47 > 0:40:54He still will. All I have to do is wave my little finger at Gilbert and he'll come and beg me!
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Psst!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Where's Marilla?- In her room.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Here, open this up.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31I'll keep watch.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Puffed sleeves!
0:41:49 > 0:41:53For the first time in my life I've run out of words!
0:41:53 > 0:41:55I just don't know how to thank you!
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- MARILLA:- Anne!
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- Anne Shirley!- Yes, ma'am.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12- Did you touch my amethyst brooch? - I pinned it on to see how it looked.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- What right had you?! Where did you put it?- Back on the bureau.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19I promise I'll never do it again.
0:42:19 > 0:42:27- That's one good thing about me. I never do the same wrong thing twice. - Anne, the brooch is gone!
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Now tell me the truth. Did you take it out and lose it?
0:42:31 > 0:42:37- No, I didn't.- Anne Shirley, you're telling a falsehood! Go to your room.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41You'll stay there until you confess.
0:42:41 > 0:42:47If you let me out for the hay ride, I'll stay there as long as you like cheerfully,
0:42:47 > 0:42:52- but I've GOT to go to the hay ride! - You'll go nowhere until you tell me the truth!
0:43:00 > 0:43:02The youngster ought to be made to eat something!
0:43:02 > 0:43:05I've taken two trays up to her and she wouldn't touch a thing.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10All I can get from her is, "I'm too overwrought to think of eating!"
0:43:10 > 0:43:14- Would you mind if I tried to get her to take something?- Huh!
0:43:14 > 0:43:19You've been in your room all this time? How much longer will it be?
0:43:19 > 0:43:21For ever! Don't you see?
0:43:21 > 0:43:25I can't have Marilla believe I took that brooch!
0:43:25 > 0:43:31- Then you won't go on the hay ride, will you?- That's what makes me grieve. I so wanted to go!
0:43:31 > 0:43:33I wouldn't be too upset about it.
0:43:33 > 0:43:40- I heard that Gilbert's taking Alice Wainwright.- I'd like to go if for no other reason than to show you
0:43:40 > 0:43:44I can make Gilbert Blythe eat right out of my hand!
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Marilla, I'm ready to confess.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59Come downstairs and let me hear what you have to say.
0:43:59 > 0:44:04I took the amethyst brooch. I didn't mean to, but it was so beautiful
0:44:04 > 0:44:07I was overcome with irresistible temptation.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11I was imagining I was Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald
0:44:11 > 0:44:15and it was so much easier to do that with the amethyst brooch on.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Then I strolled through Lover's Lane
0:44:18 > 0:44:25and when I got to the bridge I took it off to look at it. I leaned over to see my reflection in the lake
0:44:25 > 0:44:30and the brooch slipped through my fingers and went down, down, down,
0:44:30 > 0:44:34and sank from sight for ever.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38That's the best I can do at confessing.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40Now may I go on the hay ride?
0:44:40 > 0:44:45- NO!- But you promised I could if I confessed!
0:44:45 > 0:44:51- You're not going on the hay ride and that's final! Mrs Barry was right about you!- Marilla!
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Anne...
0:45:20 > 0:45:24what did you mean by saying you took it and lost it?
0:45:24 > 0:45:28Well, you said you'd keep me in my room till I confessed,
0:45:28 > 0:45:32so I thought up a confession and made it as interesting as I could.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Now you just watch!
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Good evening, Mr Blythe!
0:46:02 > 0:46:07- Hey, Joe, hold this for me, will you?- I'm ready to forgive you.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17- Hello, Diana.- Hello, Gilbert.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Say, where have you been?
0:46:19 > 0:46:23I thought you'd never get here! Sit right up here.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25I'll sit beside you.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Well, are we all here?
0:46:30 > 0:46:33- DIANA:- Come on, Anne!
0:46:50 > 0:46:57- Morning, Miss Shirley! Have a good time on the hay ride? - I would appreciate it exceedingly
0:46:57 > 0:47:03- if you would stop annoying me! - I only took her 'cause...- I wouldn't have gone with you anyway,
0:47:03 > 0:47:09- and I shall never speak to you again.- Let's call it quits.
0:47:09 > 0:47:14It is impolite to pass a person without at least nodding, so from now on I shall merely nod to you.
0:47:14 > 0:47:19- Why don't you come off your high horse?- If I tolerate you at all,
0:47:19 > 0:47:23- it's because you're a character. - I'm a what?- A character.
0:47:23 > 0:47:30- I don't understand you.- Well, if you must know, Mr Phillips is a character, Matthew's a character,
0:47:30 > 0:47:32and you're a character.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35I think you read too much!
0:47:36 > 0:47:39Please let me go! I'll be late!
0:47:39 > 0:47:43- Will you let me walk home with you after school?- I should say not!
0:47:43 > 0:47:48- One of these days, you'll be glad to have me for a beau!- I have a beau!
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Oh, and he's a character, too?
0:47:50 > 0:47:52No, I LIKE him.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Then why wasn't he on the hay ride?
0:47:55 > 0:47:58He's too grown-up for such things!
0:48:02 > 0:48:06- MR PHILLIPS:- "The results of the annual essay contest
0:48:06 > 0:48:10"among the junior students of the Prince of Wales College were announced yesterday.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14"First honours were given to Herbert Root."
0:48:19 > 0:48:27I was just reading from a newspaper article about a former pupil who, incidentally, was never tardy!
0:48:30 > 0:48:33This former pupil of mine, Herbert Root,
0:48:33 > 0:48:37has just won the Junior Students' Prize in an essay contest.
0:48:39 > 0:48:45I'll read further. "Young Root surprised the committee by the depth of his thesis.
0:48:45 > 0:48:50"He took for his subject Tennyson's classic The Lady of Shalott.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54"His thesis was awarded first prize by unanimous vote."
0:48:56 > 0:48:59I'm proud that young Root was a product of this school.
0:48:59 > 0:49:04I hope that one of you will be just as brilliant.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:49:19 > 0:49:25I'll make Mr Phillips forget all about Herbert Root when I get to Charlottetown!
0:49:25 > 0:49:31- Herbert Root is the smartest boy on Prince Edward Island! - How do you know?
0:49:31 > 0:49:38Herbert Root is the smartest boy on the island and you, Gilbert Blythe, are annoyingly inquisitive!
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Anybody would think you know Herbie!
0:49:42 > 0:49:47Wouldn't you be surprised to know we've corresponded for a long time?
0:49:47 > 0:49:54As a matter of fact, Herbert Root was to have taken me on the hay ride only he couldn't get here in time.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05HE RINGS A BELL
0:50:06 > 0:50:08My dear pupils,
0:50:08 > 0:50:14last week I discussed with you a young man of whom I'm very proud - Herbert Root!
0:50:16 > 0:50:22We are all very happy to have you here today. Would you say a few words to the class?
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Of course.
0:50:26 > 0:50:31My success in the main, Mr Phillips, was due to your teaching.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34I held before me constantly the text of your lectures,
0:50:34 > 0:50:39to wit that no definite rules are necessary for fine writing.
0:50:39 > 0:50:45I chose The Lady of Shalott because it presented an interesting problem in unrequited love.
0:50:45 > 0:50:50I don't question that the Lady of Shalott loved Lancelot,
0:50:50 > 0:50:54but there was a question in my mind as to whether he even knew,
0:50:54 > 0:50:58hence I placed particular emphasis on that portion of the poem
0:50:58 > 0:51:02from the time she lay down in death on the boat
0:51:02 > 0:51:09to Lancelot's memorable line, "She has a lovely face" et cetera. That's how I won the contest.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Thank you, Herbert.
0:51:12 > 0:51:19Now, my pupils, I will declare a short recess, that you may meet Herbert and ask him any questions.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Aren't you going to speak to him?
0:51:31 > 0:51:35- Or are you just going to correspond with him?- Go on, Anne!
0:51:47 > 0:51:52- I should like to have a copy of your essay.- Certainly, Mr Phillips.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54Hello!
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Hello.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01How do you do?
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Is something wrong, Anne?
0:52:37 > 0:52:42I've come to the conclusion that a good imagination is a bad thing,
0:52:42 > 0:52:44and there's no romance in the world.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46Now...
0:52:48 > 0:52:51..you mustn't think that way.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53There IS such a thing as romance.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57If it ever comes near me, I'll let it pass right by.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00I'll give it up!
0:53:00 > 0:53:03No, don't ever give it all up, Anne.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07A little of it is a good thing...
0:53:07 > 0:53:09not too much, of course...
0:53:09 > 0:53:12but keep a little of it.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14Just a little.
0:53:32 > 0:53:37"Down she came and found a boat, Beneath a willow left afloat
0:53:37 > 0:53:42"And round about the prow she wrote The Lady of Shalott.
0:54:34 > 0:54:38"And at the closing of the day
0:54:38 > 0:54:41"She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
0:54:53 > 0:54:57"The broad stream bore her far away,
0:54:57 > 0:54:59"The Lady of Shalott.
0:55:03 > 0:55:09"And ere she reach'd upon the tide The first house by the water-side,
0:55:09 > 0:55:11"Singing in her song...
0:55:11 > 0:55:13"..she died,
0:55:13 > 0:55:16"The Lady of Shalott."
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Hang on, Anne!
0:56:06 > 0:56:08Don't be afraid now.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12- Don't let go!- I won't.
0:56:16 > 0:56:21Give me your other hand. See if you can get your foot over the limb.
0:56:26 > 0:56:31- Oh, it's you!- Yes, and I bet you're glad I'm here, too!
0:56:31 > 0:56:37I'm overwhelmingly grateful to you, Mr Gilbert Blythe, and I thank you very kindly.
0:56:37 > 0:56:45- I saved your life, too! I'm a hero! - A real hero would guard such a secret to his dying moment,
0:56:45 > 0:56:49- and he'd never breathe a word of it, not to anybody!- I wouldn't tell.
0:56:49 > 0:56:53- You know I wouldn't.- You swear on your word of honour?
0:56:53 > 0:56:57- Cross my heart!- This must remain our very own secret.
0:56:57 > 0:57:04No, I've reconsidered. We can never have a secret, because you hurt my feelings excruciatingly.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06You made fun of my hair!
0:57:06 > 0:57:10That's because I just couldn't keep my eyes off it.
0:57:10 > 0:57:13It was kinda nice looking at it,
0:57:13 > 0:57:18only when I tried to tell you about it, I guess I didn't say it right.
0:57:18 > 0:57:23- Why, Gilbert Blythe, you really mean that?- Mm-hm.- Then I shall relent.
0:57:23 > 0:57:25After all, you DID save my life.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28You are entitled to a reward.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32And I shall kiss you!
0:57:33 > 0:57:35You don't claim your reward?
0:57:35 > 0:57:38Yes, I do. Anne, I...
0:57:38 > 0:57:40I want you to be my girl!
0:57:46 > 0:57:50You know I've always liked you. That's why I teased you.
0:57:50 > 0:57:56- Then why did you take Alice Wainwright on the hay ride? - Why can't you forget a thing
0:57:56 > 0:57:59that happened over a year ago?
0:57:59 > 0:58:01Why should I? You hurt me terribly!
0:58:03 > 0:58:07Well, you were going to wrap me around your little finger.
0:58:07 > 0:58:12- Did Diana tell you that?- Nope. Honest.- Then how do you know?
0:58:13 > 0:58:18I've never told you this before, but I can see things ahead,
0:58:18 > 0:58:21long before they've happened. I'm a mind-reader!
0:58:21 > 0:58:23You're an eavesdropper!
0:58:23 > 0:58:25Can I see you tonight?
0:58:25 > 0:58:29Why ask me? You're the mind-reader!
0:58:37 > 0:58:41- Hello, Anne! - I thought I'd never get away!
0:58:41 > 0:58:48- Gee, you're brave meeting me here. What if Marilla found out? - I wouldn't know what to do.
0:58:48 > 0:58:52I've got something for you. Close your eyes, hold out your hands.
0:58:58 > 0:59:02A locket! I've always wanted one!
0:59:02 > 0:59:04Oh, Gilbert!
0:59:04 > 0:59:08I bought it at Jim Lawson's, and it's guaranteed not to turn green.
0:59:08 > 0:59:12It's beautiful. But how can I ever...?
0:59:12 > 0:59:18You can wear it out when you're not around Marilla and Matthew. Tuck it in when you're home.
0:59:22 > 0:59:24Happy birthday!
0:59:24 > 0:59:25Thank you, Anne!
0:59:29 > 0:59:36- Gee, they're swell! If it weren't so cold, I'd put 'em on right now! - I finished them last night.
0:59:36 > 0:59:39RUSTLING What was that?
0:59:39 > 0:59:41Nothing.
0:59:41 > 0:59:43I think I'd better run back.
0:59:43 > 0:59:46Goodbye...sweetheart.
0:59:46 > 0:59:50- That's the first time you've called me that.- Do you mind?
0:59:50 > 0:59:53I've wanted you to for three years.
0:59:58 > 1:00:01Kissing! Anne Shirley kissing!
1:00:01 > 1:00:04Anne Shirley kissing that Blythe boy!
1:00:04 > 1:00:08Mrs Barry saw it with her own two eyes! She rushed to tell me.
1:00:08 > 1:00:12Why don't you say something, Matthew?
1:00:13 > 1:00:20- That's interesting.- Interesting?! You should be ashamed of yourself, taking it so casual like!
1:00:20 > 1:00:26- They're just youngsters. - I wager they've been meeting for heaven knows how long,
1:00:26 > 1:00:29and you've known it all along.
1:00:29 > 1:00:32No, Marilla, I've never been down near that tree.
1:00:32 > 1:00:35How do you know it was by a tree?
1:00:37 > 1:00:39A person can imagine things.
1:00:39 > 1:00:41Stop acting so innocent!
1:00:41 > 1:00:45Well, after all, you know a body can only be young once.
1:00:45 > 1:00:49Stop protecting her! After all we've done for her,
1:00:49 > 1:00:54to take up with Gilbert Blythe, the one person whose father...
1:01:06 > 1:01:13- Anne Shirley, when we took you in, I never would have dreamed that... - Marilla!- Quiet, Matthew!
1:01:13 > 1:01:18- You know what we think of Gilbert Blythe!- Please, Marilla!
1:01:19 > 1:01:24Wait, Marilla, I don't see any use in trying to make matters worse!
1:01:47 > 1:01:48Anne...
1:01:48 > 1:01:50I don't want to hurt you
1:01:50 > 1:01:53by referring to your indebtedness to us,
1:01:53 > 1:01:58but I want you to promise me you'll never see Gilbert Blythe again!
1:01:58 > 1:02:02- Please!- I'll not leave this room until I hear you say
1:02:02 > 1:02:04you'll not see him again!
1:02:19 > 1:02:21This tree is the dividing line
1:02:21 > 1:02:28between the Blythe and Cuthbert properties and I never thought I'd be compelled to cross it.
1:02:28 > 1:02:32I've come to talk to you about Anne. It's high time somebody did.
1:02:32 > 1:02:37Don't think I've had my eyes shut and my ears closed all along,
1:02:37 > 1:02:44- and don't think I'll let that girl go on sacrificing herself!- Miss Cuthbert, I...- Anne's not a child.
1:02:44 > 1:02:50She has ambitions to make something of herself. She'll go to Normal School when she's ready.
1:02:50 > 1:02:54She can't let anything stand in her way!
1:02:55 > 1:03:01- Why, I wouldn't stand in her way for anything in the world! - No friend of hers would.
1:03:01 > 1:03:05No friend of hers would even try to see her any more.
1:03:05 > 1:03:09As far as Anne is concerned, all this carrying-on was a mistake.
1:03:09 > 1:03:11It's got to stop right now!
1:03:29 > 1:03:30Tell him he doesn't understand!
1:03:30 > 1:03:33Tell him I'll see him the first minute I can steal away!
1:03:33 > 1:03:36It wouldn't be any use. He was all packed up when he wrote the note.
1:03:36 > 1:03:41I asked him where he was going but he wouldn't tell me.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05There. That ought to hold her for the trip.
1:04:08 > 1:04:12There's no call for you to be looking like a lost calf.
1:04:12 > 1:04:16- You're just fixing to make it harder for everyone!- I'm not!
1:04:16 > 1:04:24- I've seen lots of people go away on trains in my lifetime.- What makes your nose so red and twitchy then?
1:04:24 > 1:04:28A frostbitten nose has a right to look red and to twitch, too.
1:04:28 > 1:04:32I don't like people who get emotional over nothing!
1:04:33 > 1:04:38- Anne! Hurry up. Do you expect that train to wait for you?- I'm coming!
1:04:38 > 1:04:43What gave you the idea that her schooling was going to pinch us?
1:04:43 > 1:04:45I never said any such thing!
1:04:49 > 1:04:51Then don't even think it!
1:04:51 > 1:04:54A fine thing that would be for Anne to get wind of!
1:05:11 > 1:05:15Don't come with me. Eddie Grant is driving me to the station.
1:05:15 > 1:05:21I couldn't bear to say goodbye to you in front of all those people. I might cry!
1:05:21 > 1:05:24Getting emotional over nothing!
1:05:25 > 1:05:27Nothing?!
1:05:28 > 1:05:30Why, you've been angels to me!
1:05:30 > 1:05:33You're both such darlings and you'll never...
1:05:33 > 1:05:35I've just got to kiss you!
1:05:40 > 1:05:43Falderal! Kissing!
1:05:44 > 1:05:46Might as well kiss him, too, I suppose!
1:06:08 > 1:06:09I can't help thinking...
1:06:10 > 1:06:14..I wish she'd always stayed a little girl.
1:06:14 > 1:06:16Nobody can deny she's real tall and stylish.
1:06:16 > 1:06:19Nobody. Nobody at all.
1:06:20 > 1:06:22She's smart, too.
1:06:22 > 1:06:24And pretty.
1:06:24 > 1:06:26And loving.
1:06:26 > 1:06:31You know, Matthew, I get afraid when I think of it.
1:06:32 > 1:06:34She'll be away so long.
1:06:34 > 1:06:36It'll get terrible lonesome.
1:06:36 > 1:06:42That was a lucky mistake of Mrs Spencer's when she didn't bring us a boy.
1:06:42 > 1:06:45- Who wanted a boy?- Nobody.
1:06:45 > 1:06:48- I certainly didn't.- Nor I!
1:06:48 > 1:06:53It wasn't luck that brought her here, it was providence.
1:06:53 > 1:06:55We needed her.
1:06:56 > 1:06:59Even with all her odd ways?
1:06:59 > 1:07:02I...loved her for them.
1:07:03 > 1:07:05Who said they were odd ways?
1:07:05 > 1:07:06Nobody.
1:07:06 > 1:07:09I certainly didn't!
1:07:39 > 1:07:42Diana! Oh, how glad I am to see you!
1:07:44 > 1:07:47Well, turn around and let me look at you!
1:07:48 > 1:07:50You've grown so!
1:07:50 > 1:07:52And you've become prettier!
1:07:54 > 1:07:57And you're a married woman!
1:07:57 > 1:08:01Tell me, are you very happy and very much in love?
1:08:01 > 1:08:09- Very much.- How wonderful that must be - to think of him all the time and know that he's thinking of you!
1:08:09 > 1:08:11And nobody can interfere.
1:08:11 > 1:08:13That must be happiness!
1:08:13 > 1:08:17Oh, Anne, some day, you and Gilbert will...
1:08:17 > 1:08:20He's back. Did you know he was studying medicine?
1:08:20 > 1:08:24Yes, I knew. At least, I thought he would.
1:08:24 > 1:08:30Do you never hear from him? When Gilbert graduates, Dr Tatum will make him his assistant.
1:08:30 > 1:08:33Please. Let's not talk of Gilbert.
1:08:34 > 1:08:36I'm still your bosom friend.
1:08:36 > 1:08:37But I...
1:08:45 > 1:08:51- Did you see Matthew and Marilla before you left? - Yes. I only stayed a few minutes.
1:08:51 > 1:08:56- Matthew is pretty sick to be bothered with visitors.- He's sick?
1:08:56 > 1:08:59Oh, Anne, I'm sorry!
1:08:59 > 1:09:05- I thought you knew!- I should have known when he didn't write. That's why it was always Marilla.
1:09:05 > 1:09:09- I must go home.- But your final examinations are in two weeks.
1:09:09 > 1:09:14- I'd never forgive myself if anything happened.- But you've worked so hard.
1:09:14 > 1:09:18- Now you're going to throw it all away.- They need me.
1:09:35 > 1:09:37KNOCK AT DOOR
1:09:39 > 1:09:41- Why, Anne!- Marilla!
1:09:43 > 1:09:47- Anne, why did you come back? - How's Matthew? May I see him?
1:09:47 > 1:09:50Not now, dear, Dr Tatum's with him.
1:09:51 > 1:09:58I'm sorry you found out. Matthew didn't want you to know. He said it might upset your school work.
1:10:11 > 1:10:17- Well, Anne Shirley! And how are you? - Fine, thanks, Dr Tatum. May I see Matthew?
1:10:17 > 1:10:21Better not disturb him. He's just dozed off to sleep.
1:10:21 > 1:10:26The excitement of seeing you here might sort of set him back.
1:10:30 > 1:10:34Marilla, would you mind fixing me a pot of tea?
1:10:43 > 1:10:46Dr Tatum, tell me.
1:10:46 > 1:10:48I want to know.
1:10:48 > 1:10:52- It's serious, Anne. - Isn't there anything we can do?
1:10:52 > 1:10:57- Well, your folks are in a pretty bad way.- You mean financially?
1:10:57 > 1:11:03It would mean bringing in another doctor, the best man in Canada.
1:11:03 > 1:11:07He's in Nova Scotia. That would cost an awful lot of money.
1:11:09 > 1:11:16- Well, we have to get the money somehow!- They've sold about everything they could.
1:11:16 > 1:11:19Why, even the house is mortgaged.
1:11:20 > 1:11:24Yes, they've deprived themselves of everything
1:11:24 > 1:11:26just to keep me in school.
1:11:28 > 1:11:32What's the name of that doctor in Nova Scotia?
1:11:32 > 1:11:37Terry. Frederick W Terry. Gilbert Blythe has been studying under him.
1:11:37 > 1:11:41I wish they'd have had such men when I went to school.
1:11:46 > 1:11:48KNOCK AT DOOR
1:11:48 > 1:11:53- Come in!- A young lady to see you, Mr Gilbert.- Have her come in.
1:11:56 > 1:11:58Anne!
1:12:02 > 1:12:04Hello, Gilbert.
1:12:04 > 1:12:08I hope you don't mind my coming to see you.
1:12:08 > 1:12:09I had to!
1:12:11 > 1:12:17- It's wonderful to see you again, Anne. I missed you terribly. - We mustn't talk about that.
1:12:17 > 1:12:21- I promised Marilla that... - We've grown up since then.
1:12:21 > 1:12:27There's nothing we can do, Gilbert, and I owe them so much - now more than ever.
1:12:27 > 1:12:33- Since Matthew's illness, they're almost destitute. - It'll be all right, Anne.
1:12:33 > 1:12:35Darling.
1:12:35 > 1:12:39Did you come to see me about Dr Terry?
1:12:39 > 1:12:43- Yes, how did you know?- Dr Tatum told me he was needed.- Then...?
1:12:46 > 1:12:48RUMBLING WHEELS
1:12:52 > 1:12:55That's Dr Terry. I sent for him yesterday.

1:13:30 > 1:13:34Quite similar to one I had in Toronto.
