00:01:12Oh, Matthew Cuthbert!
00:01:14I can fix that.
00:01:15Don't you even think about it!
00:01:17Morella, please. I'm not an old barn sucker.
00:01:20I'm going into town tomorrow. I'll get Wallace, that carpenter fella, to come out.
00:01:24Oh, Matt Wallace couldn't miter a flush joint on a bait box for heaven's sake.
00:01:29Go on back to bed now.
00:01:30Yeah, yeah. Good night, all.
00:01:32You go to bed, too.
00:01:34I'm going, I'm going.
00:01:36Good night.
00:01:37Thanks.
00:01:39Thanks.
00:01:47Thanks.
00:01:48I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.
00:01:59Go for it.
00:02:16Marshal Almighty.
00:02:30Matthew!
00:02:32Oh, Lord.
00:02:33Oh, Lord.
00:02:59I'm here.
00:03:04I'm here!
00:03:05I'm here!
00:03:12Matthew?
00:03:15I'm here!
00:03:21Matthew, what are you doing?
00:03:23The ladder fell off. If you could just go down and prop it up, I'll be fine.
00:03:26Hold on! I'll go and get some help.
00:03:28Alright, quickly!
00:03:34You old old goat!
00:03:50Hello, Marilla.
00:03:54Me and Anne, we're kindred spirits.
00:03:59Heaven help us.
00:04:01I'm fine. Don't be mad.
00:04:03I tried my best to be a model pupil like Minnie Andrews.
00:04:06Who's a model pupil?
00:04:08But dull and pokey and without a spark of imagination or a single original thought of her own.
00:04:13All she ever says is, I agree with that.
00:04:17And Shirley, if you can say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all.
00:04:20Okay, well let me think.
00:04:23Oh yes.
00:04:25It appears Josie Pye is an awfully good singer.
00:04:28More awfully good than I ever imagined.
00:04:31And Gilb... I mean, we all think Mr. Phillips is deeply sad about something.
00:04:38That's all?
00:04:39That's all?
00:04:39Why would they think that?
00:04:40We can be such dunces, especially me.
00:04:43You're no dunce.
00:04:44You can be sure of that.
00:04:46Did you ever study geometry at school?
00:04:48Well, you know, I can't.
00:04:50You didn't.
00:04:51Well, I wish you had.
00:04:52Because then you'd be able to sympathize with me and you can't properly sympathize with
00:04:55anyone if you hadn't actually done the thing yourself.
00:04:59Geometry casts a dark cloud over my whole life.
00:05:04I'm such a dummy.
00:05:05Even Mr. Phillips says so.
00:05:08He what?
00:05:10Oh, it's all right.
00:05:12Poor scholarship makes me unhappy.
00:05:14Especially anything in math.
00:05:16I really am a cloud in geometry.
00:05:18Oh, Stefan nonsense.
00:05:19I believe I'll have a word with that man.
00:05:21You hold your horses, Matthew Cuthbert.
00:05:23Fear and shame are no way to educate a child.
00:05:26It's worse than the switch.
00:05:28Inspiration and encouragement is what they need.
00:05:37What, what?
00:05:39I've never heard you be so loquacious.
00:05:41Know what?
00:05:42You talk too much.
00:05:43Finish your stew.
00:06:24Wow!
00:06:26Ah, ah.
00:06:29Hmm?
00:06:41It's easy. If you like, I can show you after.
00:06:46Thank you, Ruby.
00:06:48When I'm 15, I'm going to have a whole string of those.
00:06:51How do you do that?
00:06:53I mean, well, how do you know what you know?
00:06:57Six older sisters.
00:06:59What did they say?
00:07:01About what?
00:07:02Oh, please.
00:07:05The secret of the universe. That's what they called it.
00:07:09Well, go on.
00:07:10You must tell.
00:07:11Well, one must never appear to try too hard.
00:07:16Oh, Anne's an expert at that.
00:07:18At what?
00:07:19What?
00:07:20Nothing.
00:07:21Gotta go. See you tomorrow.
00:07:23Bye.
00:07:24Bye.
00:07:25Diana, what?
00:07:27Expert at what? I want to know.
00:07:31All I mean is that, well, you don't try it all with Gilbert.
00:07:34I know he can be silly sometimes, but he is a good person.
00:07:37Really, he is.
00:07:40Ratio.
00:07:40One, two, three.
00:07:41Uh, Anne.
00:07:43Hey, that's not fair.
00:07:46Anne, come to my house. We can make toffee.
00:07:48Oh, that sounds wonderful.
00:07:56Oh, that sounds wonderful.
00:08:02Hello, sweetheart.
00:08:04You're so good.
00:08:09Mother, look who's here.
00:08:11Hello, Mrs. Berry.
00:08:12Anne, dear.
00:08:13I'm so pleased that you're here.
00:08:16Now, arms up.
00:08:17Turn around.
00:08:20Now, you two, just go right ahead.
00:08:26I've placed all the ingredients right here on the table.
00:08:30And for heaven's sake, don't let it burn.
00:08:35It's like kind of like a boa, like a really fancy boa.
00:08:38Like, like the plain one?
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:42And almost there.
00:08:44That's good.
00:08:44For us.
00:08:46Oh, my God.
00:08:48Okay, okay, that's good.
00:08:50And...
00:08:50Oh, my God.
00:08:55That's not fair.
00:08:57You know what?
00:08:58No.
00:09:02Um, okay.
00:09:03I actually have a really good idea.
00:09:04All right.
00:09:05I really wanted to do that.
00:09:07I really wanted to do that.
00:09:09Oh, my God.
00:09:12Oh, my God.
00:09:15He didn't respond.
00:09:16He responded.
00:09:17And he's going to be like,
00:09:18like, that's good.
00:09:19I'm just kidding.
00:09:20Yes.
00:09:43And he had to throw it all away.
00:09:44But it didn't matter, because making it was such splendid fun.
00:09:47And when I left, Diana and I would kiss his back and forth until I reached the steep part
00:09:52of the path.
00:09:52And I lost sight of the magnificent home.
00:09:55I can't imagine what I could ever do to commemorate...
00:09:57Oh, I know.
00:09:58I'll make a new special prayer in honor of the occasion.
00:10:02Yes, that's the perfect thing.
00:10:04I trust none of you harbor hope of one day finding employment with any prestigious organization.
00:10:11When I worked for the Royal Bank, businessmen took a dim view of poor academics.
00:10:17I suppose you could become a secretary or a clerk.
00:10:20But if you really want to make a proper life for yourself, you'd best pull up your socks.
00:10:25Do you follow me, scholars?
00:10:28Yes, Mr. Phillips.
00:10:29Yes, Mr. Phillips.
00:10:30Yes, Mr. Phillips.
00:10:40Marilla?
00:10:40Marilla?
00:10:41In here.
00:10:42Hi, Matthew.
00:10:43Hello there, Miss Anne.
00:10:44Good day at school?
00:10:45Yes, thank you.
00:10:47Marilla.
00:10:48Oh, good heavens, child.
00:10:50Cut your breath.
00:10:52Marilla, the most wonderful miracle has occurred.
00:10:56Oh, mercy, tell us.
00:10:58Tomorrow, after school, your little Anne has had the honor of being invited to spend the
00:11:03night at the home of Miss Diana Barry.
00:11:06And the invitation came from Mrs. Barry herself.
00:11:09Well, that's an honor you're going to have to do without.
00:11:15But, Marilla...
00:11:16Oh, now, don't start with all your...
00:11:18You know how you can be.
00:11:20Little girls belong in their own beds.
00:11:22I'm not a little girl.
00:11:23I'm nearly 13.
00:11:33What?
00:11:34What are you thinking?
00:11:36I'm thinking you ought to let her go.
00:11:38Who's bringing this child up?
00:11:40You or me?
00:11:41Well, now, you are.
00:11:43Huh?
00:11:44Well, then, don't interfere.
00:11:46Hold on, now.
00:11:47You can't say I'm interfering.
00:11:49It's not interfering to have an opinion on a thing.
00:11:52And my opinion is you ought to let Anne go.
00:11:54You'd think I ought to let Anne go to the moon if she took a notion, I have no doubt.
00:11:58She wasn't asking for the moon.
00:12:01Staying up all hours of the night?
00:12:02Pretty doings for children, I should say.
00:12:05Lack of sleep would wind her up, fill her head with nonsense for a week.
00:12:08No, believe me.
00:12:09I know what's best with this child's disposition.
00:12:11Do you?
00:12:13Anne, have you been eavesdropping?
00:12:15I came to apologize to you, Marilla.
00:12:17And to you too, Matthew.
00:12:19I made you have an argument.
00:12:21We're not having an argument.
00:12:23We're just being a bit growly with each other.
00:12:25We're always a bit growly with each other, aren't we, Matthew?
00:12:27Yeah, we're like old bears.
00:12:30But you're right, Marilla.
00:12:32I'm a badly behaved child, and I know I'm from a great child-
00:12:34Alright, enough of that.
00:12:40I'll go wash up for dinner.
00:12:51You old goat.
00:12:58Oh, I can! Marilla, thank you! Thank you!
00:13:05Anne.
00:13:08Here.
00:13:09Use this.
00:13:11It was my mother's.
00:13:18It smells like...
00:13:23Like a city.
00:13:25Well, my mother was very fond of the Boston States.
00:13:28Thank you, Marilla.
00:13:29Oh.
00:13:30You're always too kind to me, even though I'm so difficult.
00:13:32Oh, now, now, none of that.
00:13:34Here.
00:13:35Go ahead.
00:13:36Put your things inside.
00:13:43And don't forget to say your prayers.
00:13:46One day I'm going to travel the whole world, or at least to Italy.
00:13:50Of course, I have to see Paris and London.
00:13:52But more than anything, I want to ride elephants in India.
00:13:55And have astonishing adventures in the Orient.
00:13:58Can't you just imagine me?
00:14:00Anne.
00:14:01Just while I'm thinking about it.
00:14:03Diana's Aunt Josephine Berry is visiting with the Berries.
00:14:06Now, she's very old, and she's very rich.
00:14:09And Mrs. Berry would like to keep on her good side.
00:14:12Are you following what I'm saying?
00:14:14Oh, yes, Marilla.
00:14:15I'll be my very, very, very best behavior.
00:14:18Yeah.
00:14:26Remember your weekend assignments.
00:14:28Yes, Mr. Phillips.
00:14:30And Mrs. Phillips.
00:14:48Yes, Mr. Phillips.
00:14:51Oh, my?
00:14:57Mr. Phillips.
00:14:59What the hell?
00:14:59I call this.
00:15:00He's not good enough.

00:17:51all right you two
00:17:56you girls all right
00:17:58oh yes mother
00:18:00well you barely touched your dinners
00:18:03mrs.
00:18:03mrs. Berry we're exhausted
00:18:04I don't think I've had so much fun and exercise my whole life
00:18:08all right
00:18:09night night and no jibber jabbering when lights out
00:18:22mrs.
00:18:33Diana, shh, do you think you followed us, I'm freezing, you're cold, that means there's
00:18:47a ghost nearby. There's a window at the end of the hall, you can see the forest from
00:19:15there, you go, I'm too scared.
00:20:07Ah!
00:20:10Oh goodness!
00:20:15How much is a dash?
00:20:17Oh, just a drop of two.
00:20:20I ran into Mrs. Berry this morning, apparently last night old Miss Berry was frightened near
00:20:25to death.
00:20:26Really?
00:20:29What happened?
00:20:32I surprised her, by accident.
00:20:35Anne, after I warned you.
00:20:37In any event, she woke up in a terrible temper, and Josephine Berry's temper is no joke, she
00:20:41was awfully cross with Diana. She planned to pay for music lessons, but not any longer.
00:20:46It's not Diana's fault, I'm the one who barged into her room, by accident.
00:20:51I understand, Josephine was to stay for a month, but now she declares she wants to go
00:20:55back for his thing tomorrow.
00:20:57I'm such an unlucky child. I can't help getting into scrapes, and then I drag in my dearest bosom
00:21:03friend, someone who I'd shed my life's blood for. Why does it always happen to me?
00:21:09Because you're a heedless child.
00:21:10And impulsive.
00:21:11Never stop to think.
00:21:12Never.
00:21:15That's the best part of it.
00:21:17Something flashes in your mind, and you must out with it, because if you stop and think about it,
00:21:21then the moment spoils forever.
00:21:25Don't you feel that way, Mrs. Lund?
00:21:30Marilla?
00:21:38In such a dire situation, there's only one thing to do.
00:21:56I don't know what it's like to awake suddenly from a deep sleep, but I can imagine it must
00:22:01have been extremely disturbing.
00:22:03Yes, it was.
00:22:06Then perhaps you can imagine the other side of it.
00:22:11An orphan child who had the honor to have her very first sleepover with her best bosom friend,
00:22:17deadly afraid of terrors of the dark, lost and alone in a strange hallway searching for the warmth of her
00:22:23bed.
00:22:24You have imagination, Miss Barry. Can you imagine my heartache at making such a mistake?
00:22:30We've had dealings with Anne Shirley before this, haven't we?
00:22:34Yes, Mrs. Barry.
00:22:37For instance?
00:22:39Serving alcohol at a children's tea party.
00:22:45Really?
00:22:46Inexcusable.
00:22:49Also an accident?
00:22:52My life is a perfect tragedy of grievous accidents, one after the other.
00:23:00Anne Shirley, I do believe your claim to sympathy is as strong as my own.
00:23:07In that case, would you please consider forgiving Diana and stay as long as you meant to in Avonlea.
00:23:19Diana shall have her music lessons, and I will be happy to stay, so long as you promised to come
00:23:27and talk to me now and then.
00:23:28My dear, I do believe you're the first interesting person I've ever met in Avonlea.
00:23:45Puckle. P-U-C-K-L-E. Puckle.
00:23:54That is correct.
00:23:59Cogglesome.
00:24:01C-O-G-G-E-L-S-O-M-E.
00:24:08That is incorrect.
00:24:10This week's winner is Gilbert Blythe.
00:24:18It's L-E.
00:24:21It's L-E.
00:24:22I know that, I just didn't say it.
00:24:24Well, the next time you'll see.
00:24:58Mr. Phillips, may I just say how impressed we all are and happy for Anne Shirley's academic progress?
00:25:06Well, Gilbert, that's extremely generous of you.
00:25:10I agree with that.
00:25:11Very good, Minnie.
00:25:13Anne Shirley, don't you agree?
00:25:16Anne?
00:25:19I recognize that you have had a difficult upbringing and so on, but can't you find a smidgen of warmth
00:25:24in your heart to say thank you to Gilbert?
00:25:26Thank you, Gilbert.
00:25:31I studied so hard and I only got a bee.
00:25:33Well, a bee is pretty good for you.
00:25:35That's not funny.
00:25:37See you tomorrow.
00:25:38Bye.
00:25:39Bye.
00:25:40I don't understand why you're so cruel with Gilbert.
00:25:43He is a nice boy.
00:25:45Not at all my type, mind you.
00:25:48He's inhumanely cruel.
00:25:53Do you want to know what I think?
00:25:55I think he's in love with you.
00:25:57Diana Berry, don't ever say that.
00:26:01You're my bosom friend, but I can't allow even you to speak to me of that horrid person.
00:26:08I was only trying to...
00:26:09My ears are closed.
00:26:13How can we be bosom friends if I can't say what I think?
00:26:16You're right.
00:26:17Sorry.
00:26:20You want to know what else I think?
00:26:23Oh, Kali, I forgot.
00:26:24I have to get straight back to Green Gables.
00:26:25I have to bake a pie all on my own.
00:26:27First time I've ever tried.
00:26:29Secretly, you love them too.
00:26:30A big cake.
00:26:30Why do you do?
00:26:31If you like it, I do.
00:26:32Oh, what are you?
00:26:33Oh, that's all.
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:35Oh, oh oh.
00:26:35Oh, oh, oh.
00:26:43Oh, yeah.
00:26:51Oh, oh.
00:27:00Cool.
00:27:48All right.
00:28:26All right.
00:28:31Oh, no, no.
00:28:32I'm all right.
00:28:32I'm fine, Miss Hand.
00:28:33I was just joking like you.
00:28:35Oh, please don't ever do that again.
00:28:37I'm so sorry.
00:28:38Oh, jeez.
00:28:39You know, I was just going to go and pick some puffballs.
00:28:42Why don't you come with me?
00:28:44Yeah, I'm the only one that knows where they grow,
00:28:46and I'll share my secret with you.
00:28:50Yes, let's go.
00:28:51All right.
00:28:52Here we go.
00:28:53Oh, come on.
00:29:06You love the forest, don't you?
00:29:08Mm-hmm.
00:29:09Oh, I surely do.
00:29:14What exactly is a puffball?
00:29:17Oh, it's kind of a giant mushroom.
00:29:21You cut it up in little pieces and fry it in lots of butter.
00:29:25Why?
00:29:25There's nothing more delicious than the whole world.
00:29:27Oh, yes, sir.
00:29:29Mm-hmm.
00:29:30Here we are.
00:29:32Now, remember this old tree.
00:29:42Just a little way to go now.
00:29:52What's the matter?
00:29:53It used to be here.
00:29:57No, no.
00:29:59Maybe it's here.
00:30:00I don't know.
00:30:01Oh, I know where it is now.
00:30:04I know.
00:30:05Come on.
00:30:06I know.
00:30:08Maybe we should go back.
00:30:10Shh.
00:30:11Let me, let me, let me think.
00:30:17Matthew.
00:30:18What?
00:30:19What?
00:30:20Matthew.
00:30:21What?
00:30:22What?
00:30:23What?
00:30:25I know the way back.
00:30:26What?
00:30:27To the path.
00:30:30Matthew.
00:30:32We can go back.
00:30:33I know the way.
00:30:34Can I show you?
00:30:35What?
00:30:38Come on.
00:30:38Can I show you?
00:30:39Yes.
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:42Yes, please.
00:30:43Come on.
00:30:44Oh, good.
00:30:46Yes.
00:30:48Yes, good.
00:30:49Yes.
00:30:49Good.
00:30:55Oh.
00:30:57Oh.
00:31:04Here we are.
00:31:06See?
00:31:06Yes.
00:31:10Are you all right?
00:31:11Of course I am.
00:31:14And we can try it again tomorrow.
00:31:17Now, listen to me.
00:31:20You know, I think maybe we ought to keep all of this under our hats.
00:31:25You know, it's never a good idea to upset Marilla.
00:31:28What say you?
00:31:46I do wish I could have had the headache for you, Marilla.
00:31:50I would have enjoyed it joyfully for your sake.
00:31:52Yes, I have no doubt you would have.
00:31:54You know what I would have enjoyed more?
00:31:57A nice warm piece of pie.
00:32:00Unfortunately, when I got home, I found it burnt to cinders.
00:32:04Oh, golly.
00:32:05I knew something was missing.
00:32:06I felt it instinctively.
00:32:07Something missing?
00:32:09Anne, Shirley, when you have obligations, you must learn to keep your mind focused.
00:32:14Sometimes I'm reprehensible.
00:32:15I can't seem to help it.
00:32:16It's as if there's another Anne inside of me.
00:32:19I'm certain that's why I'm so troublesome.
00:32:21If there was just one Anne, it would be ever so much more comfortable.
00:32:24Then life would only be half so interesting.
00:32:27Interesting is not important.
00:32:28What's important is to be sensible.
00:32:36Marilla, I'm so sorry about the pie.
00:32:39And with my whole heart, upon my oath, I swear I'll become more sensible.
00:32:44Sooner than later, I hope.
00:33:03It's from Gilbert.
00:33:27Who belongs to this corpulent Macintosh?
00:33:41It's mine, sir.
00:33:47I'm the one who dropped it.
00:33:50Class, what is my rule?
00:33:53No food in the classroom until lunch.
00:33:56Anne, Gilbert, go to the blackboard.
00:33:59Fifty times, I will not bring food into class until lunch.
00:34:05Open your readers.
00:34:10The next step in our examination of the text, figurative language.
00:34:16Metaphor, similes, when something is something else.
00:34:20Mr. Blythe, do you find something amusing?
00:34:24No, sir.
00:34:26There is nothing funny about disregard for the rules.
00:34:30Without rules, there can be no civility.
00:34:32Can your little brain grasp that?
00:34:34Yes, sir.
00:34:36Go on.
00:34:38It's only fair.
00:34:39What?
00:34:40No, I...
00:34:42Both of you return to your seats.
00:34:51He's awful.
00:34:58I'm...
00:35:00Who are you from?
00:35:08I'm my son.
00:35:10Oh, my God.
00:35:48Marilla?
00:35:49Yes, come.
00:35:56May I speak with you?
00:35:59What's the matter?
00:36:02I do so want to be sensible.
00:36:04Really, I do.
00:36:06In just a few weeks, I'll be 13, and I know I'll make better choices.
00:36:09If I become more sensible.
00:36:11Yes, you will.
00:36:14But?
00:36:15There's no buts about it.
00:36:23What is the matter, child?
00:36:30Is keeping a secret being sensible?
00:36:34Well, that all depends.
00:36:38Why don't you stop beating around the bush and just come out with it?
00:36:47It's about Matthew.
00:36:48Oh, God.
00:36:57Come here.
00:37:03Come here.
00:37:04Isn't it?
00:37:05Yes, sir.
00:37:07One, two, three, three, three, four, four, four.
00:37:15I've got over here.
00:37:17I've got over here.
00:37:18I've got over here.
00:37:18It is my unfortunate duty to inform you that I will be leaving your beloved school.
00:37:25In fact, today will be my last in Avonlea.
00:37:29Yes, the time has come for us to part.
00:37:32Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say it now rather than on the morrow.
00:37:39And if I should have another life to live, I would gladly lay it down for Avonlea,
00:37:45the fairest village in all sweet Prince Edward's realm.
00:37:57The time has come for us to part.
00:37:59Parting is such sweet sorrow.
00:38:01If I should have any other life to live, I will gladly lay it down for Avonlea.
00:38:05My dear dear scholars, thank you.
00:38:09Wait.
00:38:15Aren't we being unfair and far too cruel?
00:38:20No.
00:38:23Beat you to the crossroads.
00:38:48Don't forget to get the cake.
00:38:50And then go ask Muriel to help you pick out something nice.
00:38:53What kind of something nice?
00:38:54Well, I don't know you would decide.
00:38:56Well, you should be the one who decides.
00:38:58Oh, I'm not good at that sort of thing.
00:38:59If you don't know that by now, Matthew Cuthbert, you've been spending too much time in that barn.
00:39:03Off you go.
00:39:21Good morning, Matthew.
00:39:22Indeed it is, Muriel.
00:39:29Can I help you find anything in particular?
00:39:32No, no.
00:39:33Just snooping around.
00:39:34You know how that goes.
00:39:49Mr. Phillips, you're back, are you?
00:39:50Only to fetch my mail, if there is any.
00:39:53Yes, indeed there is.
00:39:55From the Royal Bank of Canada.
00:39:59I wonder what they have to say about your application to the head office.
00:40:03Young fellow, I'll have a word with you.
00:40:06Oh, Mr. Cuthbert, just the man I'd hope to run into.
00:40:09May I tell you, what a privilege it has been to know your Anne Shirley.
00:40:13I only wish that my teaching could have risen to the level of her ability to learn.
00:40:17She's an exceptional child.
00:40:19I know that in the years to come, she'll make you very proud.
00:40:26You mentioned you wanted a word.
00:40:29No.
00:40:30Yes, Mr. Phillips.
00:40:32Only to say, I wish you all the very best of luck.
00:40:37Well, thank you, Mr. Cuthbert.
00:40:40Ah, Muriel.
00:40:44Matthew.
00:40:48I'm from Charlottetown.
00:40:51Aunt Florence.
00:40:53I do hope there's no bad news.
00:40:56Oh, well, a little bit perhaps.
00:40:59But by the end, I think it's a real opportunity.
00:41:02Tea?
00:41:07Well, why didn't you give it to me before?
00:41:09Some people forget things, especially old people.
00:41:12Well, let me have it.
00:41:12Dear.
00:41:14Oh, it's from Aunt Florence.
00:41:21Oh, Uncle Abner's finally passed away.
00:41:25I never did care for the man.
00:41:27Matthew, may he rest in peace.
00:41:30Oh, she wants us to...
00:41:31I'm not doing it.
00:41:33You're not doing what?
00:41:35Read on, you'll see.
00:41:36Read on.
00:41:38She wants us to move to Charlottetown.
00:41:40Charlottetown.
00:41:40And I'm telling you right now,
00:41:41I'd sooner be a knuckle picker in a lobster shack
00:41:44and sleep in the swamp
00:41:45before I'd allow myself to get stuck in a big city
00:41:47with its high opinion of itself.
00:41:48You read my letter.
00:41:50I never set a single eye on a word of it.
00:41:52Well, how did you know what was in it then?
00:41:54How do you think?
00:41:57Oh, Muriel.
00:41:59And Florence also said she was sorry
00:42:01to learn of my disoriented behavior.
00:42:04To what was she referring?
00:42:07Marilla?
00:42:08What is she referring to?
00:42:10It was me, Matthew.
00:42:14I broke my promise.
00:42:19I told I'm so sorry.
00:42:24Come here, child.
00:42:30Come.
00:42:31Please.
00:42:43I'm so, so, so sorry, Matthew.
00:42:46Oh, now, now, Miss Anne.
00:42:48Listen to me.
00:42:49Listen.
00:42:50You did the right thing.
00:42:52The sensible thing.
00:42:54It was my stubbornness and pride
00:42:55that got in the way.
00:42:58It was not fair to put you in the middle.
00:43:01I betrayed you.
00:43:03What?
00:43:05Betrayed me?
00:43:06Miss Anne, you saved me twice.
00:43:08Once stopped in the forest
00:43:10and then again when you told Muriela about it.
00:43:12Child, you can have no better friend
00:43:16than one who tells the truth.
00:43:18And I could not have a better friend than you.
00:43:30Bye.
00:43:38John Blythe's boy, isn't he?
00:43:40Yeah.
00:43:41I seem to remember you doing some play-acting thing together,
00:43:45you and John.
00:43:50Oh.
00:43:53You know I never was the marrying type.
00:43:55Uh-huh.
00:43:57Does take after his father, though.
00:44:00You can see it in his eyes.
00:44:06Go on, go make yourself useful.
00:44:08Does anybody want some more cake?
00:44:10Yes, please, me.
00:44:11You.
00:44:11There you go.
00:44:12All right, ready?
00:44:13Yes, sir.
00:44:14Here we go.
00:44:15Here we go.
00:44:16Here we go.
00:44:21I like pigs and horses,
00:44:24even milking cows,
00:44:25but chickens are not my favorite.
00:44:29I understand they're awfully good roasted,
00:44:32but father insists I try it myself,
00:44:35try roasting one.
00:44:36But a man roasting a chicken?
00:44:39I don't know.
00:44:41Seems, well, what do you think?
00:44:45I never heard to try sensible things.
00:44:48I would try almost anything if I could.
00:44:50I imagine you would.
00:44:54My turn.
00:44:57Are you ready, Josie Pie?
00:44:59Yes.
00:44:59Here we go.
00:45:03All right.
00:45:08You watch, she won't be back.
00:45:10Not in the way she used to be.
00:45:12Yes, she will.
00:45:35Oh, my, I see we're all well-behaved children.
00:45:38But I don't believe it for a minute.
00:45:40Plenty of time for well-behaving,
00:45:42not enough for ordinary behaving.
00:45:44I'm Miss Stacy.
00:45:46I'm fair, but I don't suffer fools.
00:45:49The first order of business every morning
00:45:50is a brisk walk.
00:45:51Everyone up, out of your seats.
00:45:53All right.
00:45:54Follow me.
00:45:58Breathe in the fresh air as you walk.
00:46:01Breathe deeply, children.
00:46:02Fill your lungs with the lovely northwesterly winds
00:46:04blowing to us all the way from the Arctic.
00:46:06Can you smell the ancient ice?
00:46:08Millions of years old,
00:46:09where all the secrets of our planet
00:46:10are frozen in time.
00:46:12All right.
00:46:13Gather round.
00:46:21Excellent.
00:46:22Excellent.
00:46:26Now, stretch out your arms,
00:46:28hold hands,
00:46:28and form a circle.
00:46:37We shall now commence to exercise
00:46:38our anatomical parts,
00:46:40forcing our blood to flow
00:46:41and our minds to think.
00:46:43And one and two and three and one and two and three and hold,
00:46:54et cetera.
00:46:55But hark,
00:46:56the tramp of armed men,
00:46:58the Douglases' battle cry.
00:47:00They come,
00:47:01they come,
00:47:02and lo,
00:47:03the scowl of Ruthven's hollow eye.
00:47:07And swords are drawn,
00:47:08and daggers gleam,
00:47:10and tears and words are vain.
00:47:13The Ruthven's steel is in his heart.
00:47:16The faithful Ritseos is slain.
00:47:18Then Mary Stewart brushed aside,
00:47:21a tear that trickling fell.
00:47:23Now, for my father's arms,
00:47:25she said,
00:47:26my woman's heart,
00:47:28farewell.
00:47:29Bravo, Anne Shirley.
00:47:31Bravo.
00:47:32Well done, Anne.
00:47:34Well done.
00:47:35I agree with that.
00:47:36Bravo, Anne Shirley.
00:47:38Bravo.
00:47:38Well done.
00:47:49I certainly hope this Mr. Allen fellow is married.
00:47:53It would never do to have an unmarried minister in heavenly.
00:47:55You might marry in the congregation.
00:47:58Wouldn't that be a fine fiddle of God?
00:47:59No, the ideal combination for a pastor is sound doctrine in the man and good housekeeping in the woman.
00:48:06You are a far-seeing woman, Rachel Lynde.
00:48:10I try, Marilla.
00:48:11Lord knows I try.
00:48:12All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all.
00:48:26The tall trees in the greenwood, the meadows where we play, the rushes by the water, we gather every day.
00:48:43All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small.
00:48:52All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all.
00:49:08Which is far too fashionable.
00:49:10It's unseemly.
00:49:11Shush.
00:49:12My dear newfound friends, a very short while ago in Halifax, Mrs. Allen and I debated where to spend our
00:49:22honeymoon.
00:49:23But in the end, we realized if there was one place on this earth where all things are bright and
00:49:30beautiful, it's right here in Avonlea.
00:49:34That's why we knew the perfect place for a honeymoon was here with all of you.
00:49:40The next morning, the king was joyous that Daniel was still alive.
00:49:45He ordered him taken out of the lion's den.
00:49:48Then the king looked Daniel over.
00:49:50And there wasn't a bite mark or a scratch found on his body.
00:49:56And do you know why?
00:49:57Because he trusted in God.
00:49:59Very good, because he trusted in God.
00:50:04And then do you know what happened?
00:50:08All of Daniel's enemies, everyone who had falsely accused him, were thrown into the lion's den with their wives and
00:50:17children.
00:50:18The lions ate them all.
00:50:21Right down to the bones.
00:50:27Golly, that's a good story.
00:50:33Oh, I think I remember.
00:50:35Ruby Gillis, right?
00:50:38Yes, Ruby?
00:50:40Will there be a Sunday school picnic this summer?
00:50:43Oh.
00:50:45I certainly hope so, Ruby.
00:50:47I adore picnics, don't you?
00:50:53He's by no means perfect, but his doctrine is sound.
00:50:56And we can't expect a faultless minister for $750 per annum.
00:51:00But I do worry about his wife.
00:51:02She seems awfully petite.
00:51:04And I may say very young to be taking over the mistresship of the man's.
00:51:08I think she's wonderful.
00:51:10And she has such beautiful skin.
00:51:12I wish I had beautiful skin.
00:51:14If I had, perhaps I could influence people for good.
00:51:16Mrs. Allen is always telling us you should try and influence people for good.
00:51:20She talks about everything so nicely.
00:51:22I never knew religion could be such a cheerful thing.
00:51:24I always thought it was slow and melancholy.
00:51:26But Mrs. Allen isn't like that at all.
00:51:29I know if I could be more like her, I'd be a better Christian.
00:51:32Yes, well, I certainly look forward to getting to know her better.
00:51:35I suppose you must have the good pastor and Mrs. Allen up to tea.
00:51:39Oh, could we, Marilla, please?
00:51:42I suppose we must.
00:51:44Perhaps next Wednesday.
00:51:46Don't tell Matthew, though.
00:51:47He'll find some excuse not to be around.
00:51:49May I bake a cake for the occasion?
00:51:50You know, I can make a pretty good cake.
00:51:52Of course, I'd want your help to guide my hand.
00:51:54A very simple layer cake.
00:51:55Oh, and you can make your bacon powder biscuits and perhaps your plum preserves.
00:52:00Oh, and whipped cream.
00:52:01I know for a fact ministers love whipped cream.
00:52:04Yes, I love whipped cream.
00:52:07One more week and I'll be 13.
00:52:09Like you.
00:52:11I'm so excited to be 13.
00:52:14Do you like it, Anne?
00:52:17Anne?
00:52:18Oh, yes.
00:52:19I'm sorry, I was just thinking about Gilbert.
00:52:24Why would you say that?
00:52:26Will you spend all your time with him now?
00:52:28I don't.
00:52:30Besides, if you must know, I was thinking about my layered cake.
00:52:34What if it doesn't rise or taste horrible?
00:52:37I would be so ashamed.
00:52:39I can never show my face at church again.
00:52:41I'd have to become a drood and live alone in the forest.
00:52:43Anne.
00:52:43Anne.
00:52:45You'll make a beautiful cake.
00:52:47How do you know?
00:52:48A fairy told me.
00:52:54A fairy told me.
00:52:59A fairy told me.
00:53:04What if it doesn't rise?
00:53:31It's not about the tide.
00:53:51Oh, Marilla, what if it doesn't rise?
00:53:53Perhaps the baking powder isn't good.
00:53:55Mrs. Lynn says you can never be sure about getting a good baking powder nowadays
00:53:57with the government meddling, making everything so adulterated...
00:53:59Oh, we're going to have plenty of food without it.
00:54:02I know that.
00:54:03Can I fix up the table with some ferns and wild roses?
00:54:07There's no need.
00:54:08It's the edibles that are important, not the trivial decor.
00:54:11Mrs. Berry decorates her table.
00:54:13I heard Mr. Berry say it's a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
00:54:16I don't care.
00:54:24Go ahead, do what you want.
00:54:26Thank you, thank you.
00:54:30Mind you, leave room for the dishes.
00:54:35Oh my, what a glorious arrangement.
00:54:38It's all of Anne's doings.
00:54:40I don't believe you've met my brother, Matthew Cuthbert.
00:54:43How do you do, Mr. Cuthbert?
00:54:45Hello, Mr. Cuthbert.
00:54:46Matthew will do.
00:54:48And how are you, Matthew?
00:54:50I'm 76.
00:54:54Please, thank you.
00:54:59All right, here we go.
00:55:04I think I'll have a little piece.
00:55:06Have you had here?
00:55:07Oh, this is sweet.
00:55:09Thank you very much.
00:55:10Please.
00:55:11Well, I don't like that.
00:55:13Well, I just did.
00:55:23Seeing you on Sunday, Matthew.
00:55:25If you come here.
00:55:26Okay.
00:55:27After we're singing.
00:55:29Oh, wow.
00:55:31Bye.
00:55:32She made that all by herself.
00:55:34My goodness, what an accomplishment.
00:55:41Shall I be the first to try?
00:55:43Yes, please.
00:55:47Oh my, that looks delicious.
00:55:52There you go.
00:55:53Oh, look at this.
00:56:00Is it all right?
00:56:03Oh, yes.
00:56:06Delightful.
00:56:07Um, ever so.
00:56:10Ugh.
00:56:11Aunt Shirley, what on earth did you put in this cake?
00:56:14Please don't have any more of that.
00:56:16That's the most dreadful thing I've ever eaten in my life.
00:56:18I'm sure it's scrumptious.
00:56:20Oh, you stay out of it.
00:56:21What did you put into it?
00:56:23I only added vanilla.
00:56:25Marilla, it must be the baking powder.
00:56:27You remember what Mrs. Lynn said about baking powder?
00:56:29Baking powder, fiddlesticks.
00:56:31Go and show me the bottle you used.
00:56:36Oh, I'm sorry.
00:56:37That's not fit for the animals.
00:56:38No, I'm not.
00:56:39Now Marilla.
00:56:47Aunt Shirley, you have flavored your cake with anodyne liniment.
00:56:51Could you not at least have smelled it?
00:57:14Anne, won't you please come back downstairs and join us?
00:57:18It's impossible.
00:57:21I'm ruined.
00:57:22Now, now.
00:57:23It's not good for a child to cry so.
00:57:28Anne, I'm to blame, too.
00:57:30That old liniment bottle broke and I took what was left of it and poured it into the vanilla bottle.
00:57:35It doesn't matter.
00:57:37I'm disgraced.
00:57:39I'll never be able to live it down.
00:57:42I just know how the old boys at school never stop laughing at me.
00:57:47Oh.
00:57:48I can never show my face to Mrs. Allen again.
00:57:50She probably thinks I tried to poison her.
00:57:53Oh, Marilla, won't you please tell her I did not try and poison her?
00:57:56Suppose you jump out of that bed and tell her yourself.
00:58:00Oh, my dear.
00:58:02It's just a silly mistake anybody could have made.
00:58:06Oh, no, Mrs. Allen.
00:58:08It takes only me to make such a blunder.
00:58:12I can't go a day without making a mistake.
00:58:15Isn't that so, Marilla?
00:58:16You do have a beat for it.
00:58:20Come along, now.
00:58:21Come along.
00:58:23There is one encouraging thing about beats.
00:58:25More than one, I expect.
00:58:28I never make the same mistake twice.
00:58:30Well, I'm not sure that's a benefit.
00:58:33When you're always making new ones.
00:58:36Oh, but don't you see, Marilla?
00:58:37There must be a limit to the amount of mistakes a person can make.
00:58:40And once I get to the end of them, then I'll finally be through with them.
00:58:42Pray for the day.
00:58:45Happy birthday to you.
00:58:49Happy birthday to you.
00:58:53Happy birthday, dear Diana.
00:58:58Happy birthday to you.
00:59:01One, two, three.
00:59:12Beautifully done.
00:59:13Perfect.
00:59:14Okay.
00:59:15And there we go.
00:59:18Perfect, darling.
00:59:19Isn't she wonderful?
00:59:20Yes, she is.
00:59:22Let's go.
00:59:24Here we are.
00:59:29Can we go outside?
00:59:31Fair way.
00:59:32Let's play dare.
00:59:34Looks hard.
00:59:35Go, let's go.
00:59:36Wow.
00:59:37Oh, careful.
00:59:38I don't fall.
00:59:39Still slipped.
00:59:43That wasn't even worth a dare.
00:59:45I agree.
00:59:46I know a girl who could walk the ridge pole of a roof.
00:59:49Really?
00:59:50Yes.
00:59:51Really?
00:59:52That's a good idea.
00:59:53Let's see you do it.
00:59:54I would, but it's not my turn.
00:59:58I dare you to walk the ridge pole.
01:00:04No, Anne, you don't have to.
01:00:06Oh, yes, she does.
01:00:07It isn't fair to dare anybody to do anything so dangerous.
01:00:11Scaredy cat?
01:00:12I know such thing.
01:00:14Please, Anne, no, don't do it.
01:00:15It's not worth it.
01:00:17I shall walk the ridge pole or perish in the attempt.
01:00:23If I died tragically.
01:00:35Anne, be careful.
01:00:47Anne, Shirley.
01:00:50Miss Barry.
01:00:55Why did you ever agree to accept that dare?
01:00:59My honor was at stake.
01:01:01Honor?
01:01:02You believe honor is the highest virtue?
01:01:06Of course.
01:01:08You don't?
01:01:09In my book, loyalty trumps honor.
01:01:14Why?
01:01:15My dear, if we don't know where our loyalties lie,
01:01:18how can we make a difficult choice?
01:01:23And of all sins, the most difficult are the besetting ones.
01:01:28They're the sins committed out of habit.
01:01:30They're stubborn and hard to lose.
01:01:34Can anyone give an example of a besetting sin?
01:01:38I don't know what they are, but I'm sure I have them.
01:01:42Yes, Anne, most probably you do.
01:01:45Most probably we all do.
01:01:47What they come from is too much thinking about yourself.
01:01:52And what they usually do is hurt the ones you love most.
01:01:57In order to overcome them, you need to learn to love yourself less and deny your own desires.
01:02:08Dearest merciful God in heaven, please help me.
01:02:12Oh, by the way, it's me, Anne Shirley.
01:02:15Please help me overcome my besetting sins.
01:02:17Help me become a sensible child.
01:02:20I know I must limit my imagination.
01:02:22Pay more attention to my duties and obligations.
01:02:26Oh, Lord Most High, I do so, so, so want to be sensible.
01:02:30As Marilla says, sooner than later.
01:02:34Please bless Matthew and Marilla and Harry and the pigs.
01:02:38If you don't mind, not the chickens.
01:02:41Sincerely and surely, oh, and amen.
01:02:52Miss Stacy gave us an assignment to write about the most remarkable person we've ever known or heard about.
01:02:58Can you imagine being so remarkable that one day children write about you?
01:03:02No, I can't.
01:03:04Now, you remember that Matthew and I are spending most of the day in town tomorrow.
01:03:09As soon as I finish my chores, I'll spend the rest of my day on my assignment.
01:03:12Well, we're going to be quite late.
01:03:14Do you think you might be able to make the dinner without burning the house down?
01:03:18No, we're going to be quite late.
01:03:22No, we're going to be at home.
01:03:28No, we're going to be at home.
01:04:07I'm worried it was crowded in town this afternoon.
01:04:09That's why we live out here.
01:04:11And why we're staying out here.
01:04:13Oh, shush.
01:04:15Whoa, boy.
01:04:17Whoa, Harry.
01:04:18Good boy.
01:04:20Come on, Harry.
01:04:21Be patient.
01:04:23I'll get you on a hitch.
01:04:29Dad?
01:04:34Time for bed, Harry.
01:04:36It's been a long day for...
01:04:37Matthew!
01:04:48Coming!
01:04:55What's happened?
01:04:56Why the alarm?
01:04:57Apparently, while we were out, a peddler stopped by Green Gables.
01:05:01Just look what this child has done to herself.
01:05:04Does this look like the work of a child who's trying her very hardest to be sensible?
01:05:10No, Marilla, of course not.
01:05:14I can't ever go out in public again.
01:05:16No parties.
01:05:18No playing with friends.
01:05:19No school.
01:05:20No secret island.
01:05:22Not even going to church.
01:05:23It's the end of my brief, tragic life.
01:05:25Oh, shush, you do go on, don't you?
01:05:28With good reason.
01:05:29Well, there's no truth to that.
01:05:32Miss Anne, one thing I don't understand.
01:05:34I believe you'd see the cow kneel in the barn before you'd find two cents around here.
01:05:38So how did you pay for it?
01:05:39I traded for it.
01:05:41That so?
01:05:42Traded for what?
01:05:44A chicken.
01:05:46Not one of the goodling ones, just that old spotted one.
01:05:48You know, the one that bites and hasn't laid an egg in three months.
01:05:50Lord help us.
01:05:52She was a terrible chicken.
01:06:06It's hopeless, Marilla.
01:06:14Marilla.
01:06:15Anne, wait!
01:06:15Anne, what happened?
01:06:16You were away from school for five whole days.
01:06:18I wanted to visit the mother's head.
01:06:19I know, I know, but it was so terrible.
01:06:21Are you sick?
01:06:22You must never tell.
01:06:23What?
01:06:24What?
01:06:25Marilla gave me a note from Miss Daisy.
01:06:30Green hair?
01:06:31Oh, how thrilling.
01:06:33Not really.
01:06:34What happened?
01:06:35Okay, but honestly, you must wear an oath to never tell.
01:06:38To the grave.
01:06:44Excuse me.
01:06:46May I carry your books?
01:06:47Why would you?
01:06:48Oh, well, yes, Gilbert.
01:06:51I'm sorry about what happened.
01:06:53Whatever it was.
01:06:56Do you mind if I ask what...
01:06:57But it's all fine now.
01:06:59Oh.
01:07:03It turned out Euclid is pretty interesting.
01:07:05Yes, I thought so, too.
01:07:28I pray him, send a sudden angel down to seize me by the hair and bear me far,
01:07:32and fling me deep in that forgotten mare among the tumbled fragments of the hills.
01:07:38So groaned Sir Lancelot in remorseful pain, not knowing he should die a holy man.
01:07:45The end.
01:07:47Even you can improve in your mathematics for me.
01:07:49I can help you as a boy.
01:07:50I think I'd like to be a knight in Camelot, fight, jousts, and win the diamond of the year.
01:07:55That must have been exciting, don't you think?
01:07:58Yes, if you'd like to live in a make-believe story.
01:08:01But I imagine real life, even then, would not help you.
01:08:04I told you.
01:08:06Yes, I suppose.
01:08:16Do you think life back then was more complicated than now?
01:08:28Well, no, yes.
01:08:29I mean, that's what I used to think, but no, I'm not so sure.
01:08:35Appreciate the business, Andrew.
01:08:41Hand-fed and loved from the moment it was born.
01:08:55See you next month.
01:08:57Thanks again, Andrew.
01:09:05Hello, Matthew.
01:09:07Hello, Miss Anne.
01:09:09Something wrong?
01:09:16I don't care to be 13.
01:09:18Oh?
01:09:19It's much more complicated than even I imagined.
01:09:22And that's saying a lot.
01:09:24Yes, it is.
01:09:27Do you remember being 13?
01:09:30Well, I'm...
01:09:32You know, I guess I don't, but according to Marilla, boys don't get much older.
01:09:38I guess it's different for girls.
01:09:41I believe you're right about that.
01:09:44One part of me wants to be 12 again.
01:09:47And the other part...
01:09:50Well, I don't even know what the other part wants.
01:09:53I see.
01:09:54Matthew, how can I know what the right thing to be or do is?
01:09:57Come here, sweetheart.
01:10:04I've never told anyone this, but sometimes when I walk along the shore and listen to the ocean,
01:10:12or if I'm real still and quiet in the forest.
01:10:17Very often, I hear a tiny voice deep inside just a whisper.
01:10:23It tells you what to do?
01:10:25Well, no.
01:10:26Not exactly.
01:10:27But every now and then, it makes a small suggestion.
01:10:35We can dramatize it.
01:10:36Put on a show for our friends and family and Miss Stacy and the pastor and Mrs. Allen.
01:10:42We'll each play a part.
01:10:43What do you think?
01:10:43The whole poem.
01:10:44No, just the last section with Elaine and Lancelot.
01:10:46Well, I heard Mrs. Lynn say play acting was all stuff of nonsense.
01:10:49Mrs. Lynn is no judge of the passionate arts.
01:10:52Anyway, who will play Elaine?
01:10:54I think Ruby.
01:10:55Her hair is perfect.
01:10:56Oh, I would rather be Lancelot.
01:10:59Okay, then should be you or Diana.
01:11:01Oh, if I were to play dead, I'd actually die of fright.
01:11:05Besides, I would rather play the pathetic morning father.
01:11:08Or, I know, Queen Guinevere.
01:11:10You must be Elaine.
01:11:12Yes, you must.
01:11:13It's ridiculous to have a red-headed Elaine.
01:11:16I don't mind playing dead and floating down the river to Camelot,
01:11:20but Elaine was fair and had flowing golden hair all streaming down like Ruby.
01:11:25Besides, Elaine was a lily maid.
01:11:27It's impossible for a red-haired person to be a lily maid.
01:11:30Well, I think you're just as fair as Ruby.
01:11:32And your hair has come back ever so much darker since you cut it.
01:11:35Do you think so?
01:11:36Mm-hmm.
01:11:38Do you think?
01:11:39I only wonder.
01:11:42Is it dark enough to be considered auburn?
01:11:45Oh, yes.
01:11:57It's a four.
01:11:58Huh?
01:11:59Seven minus three.
01:12:00It's four.
01:12:02Of course it is.
01:12:03Ugh.
01:12:06Oh, here.
01:12:08Those modern needles are impossible.
01:12:20If vain would follow love, if that could be.
01:12:24If it needs must follow death, which calls me.
01:12:29Call and I follow, I follow.
01:12:33Let me die.
01:12:37I fain would follow love, if that could be.
01:12:41If needs must follow death, who calls for me.
01:12:44Call and I follow, I follow.
01:12:47Let me die.
01:12:52Oh, my Lord.
01:12:54Try.
01:13:06Bye.
01:13:07Bye.
01:13:08Bye.
01:13:09Bye.
01:13:11Bye.
01:13:27Minnie, what are you doing?
01:13:29Riding my horse.
01:13:31I didn't get to ride mine, and I'm Lancelot.
01:13:35Oh, we haven't decided who's king.
01:13:37I can be him instead of Sir Galen.
01:13:39I'm ever so much better when I'm non-horseback.
01:13:41You can't play a king.
01:13:43Yes, I can.
01:13:44You'll see.
01:13:45Look.
01:13:47You see?
01:13:49It's perfect for a state.
01:13:51And we'll have a placinium.
01:13:53And curtains on each side.
01:13:55And everybody can sit here on the grass.
01:13:57And look, there's our old raft.
01:13:59It must be waterlogged by now.
01:14:17I could float down at the end of the lake.
01:14:20It would be ever so dramatic.
01:14:23Well, what about Miller's Creek?
01:14:26Well, the water's low in the summer.
01:14:29It's still dangerous, and it's starting to rain.
01:14:32Ruby, you're so...
01:14:33What?
01:14:37Never mind.
01:14:39Let's go find out.
01:15:02Sometimes girls can be crazy.
01:15:04And skittery is tickle fish.
01:15:18See, I told you.
01:15:21Elaine the fair.
01:15:23Elaine the lovable.
01:15:25Elaine the lily-maid of Asalot.
01:15:27High in her chamber.
01:15:29In the tower.
01:15:30To the east.
01:15:43Matthew.
01:15:49Matthew.
01:15:51Matthew.
01:15:56Matthew.
01:15:58We had that fixed.
01:15:59Remember?
01:16:01Of course I remember.
01:16:03Of course I have it, Saul.
01:16:06Come on.
01:16:07Go back to bed.
01:16:13Stop following me around.
01:16:16Dear Heavenly Father,
01:16:17I'm not sure if it's allowed to pray twice in the same night,
01:16:20but I'm hoping it is,
01:16:20because what I want to ask,
01:16:22if it's not too much of a bother,
01:16:24please make tomorrow sunny and pleasant.
01:16:26Sincerely and surely.
01:16:28Amen.
01:16:38Good afternoon, John.
01:16:40Lovely to see you.
01:16:41Good afternoon, Marilla.
01:16:45It was a missed opportunity,
01:16:46and it was a long time ago,
01:16:47so don't bother about it now.
01:16:50Oh, Marilla.
01:16:51Hello, Mrs. Allen.
01:16:52Hello.
01:16:53Hello, Reverend Allen.
01:16:53Matthew.
01:16:54Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert.
01:16:56This is Miss Stacy.
01:16:57Oh, you're the new schoolteacher.
01:16:59Anne has told me all about you.
01:17:01I'm very happy to meet you.
01:17:03You're a great, Anne.
01:17:04That's cool.
01:17:06Oh, how do you have a little sword?
01:17:09Me too?
01:17:11Meanwhile, in Canada,
01:17:12when Lancelot was taken...
01:17:13Oh, look.
01:17:14Okay, go, go, go.
01:17:23And right was I, Elaine, the maid of Astolot,
01:17:27of who dreamed my night, the greatest night of all.
01:17:31I know not what true love is.
01:17:34But if I know, then if I love not him,
01:17:37there's none other who I can love.
01:17:39That was a mouthful.
01:17:40Shh.
01:17:41Meanwhile, in Camelot,
01:17:43where Lancelot was taken and now lay wounded,
01:17:46all ears pricked at once,
01:17:48all tongues were loosened.
01:17:50The maid of Astolot loves Sir Lancelot,
01:17:54and Sir Lancelot loves the maid of Astolot.
01:17:57In secret, Guinevere loves Lancelot,
01:18:01and she felt a knot,
01:18:02line in her throat,
01:18:04and with her feet unseen,
01:18:05she crushed the wild passion out against the ground.
01:18:09The very notion steals my breath,
01:18:12although I have no claim.
01:18:15Not even my king.
01:18:16Oh, my king.
01:18:20Oh, Lancelot, my Lancelot,
01:18:24thou in whom I have most joy
01:18:26and most affiance,
01:18:28who could have loved the fair maid,
01:18:30and who could have brought thee.
01:18:33Now a lonely man,
01:18:35wifeless and airless,
01:18:38noble issue,
01:18:39sons born to the glory on thy name and fame,
01:18:43but nay, you do not.
01:18:46Forever you shall be my knight,
01:18:48the great Sir Lancelot
01:18:51of the lake.
01:18:52I am bound to thee, my king.
01:18:54This is my oath,
01:18:56and my oath my life.
01:19:01Meanwhile in Astolot,
01:19:03I fain would follow love,
01:19:05if that could be.
01:19:06If need must call for death,
01:19:08who calls for me?
01:19:10Call and I follow,
01:19:11I follow,
01:19:12let me die.
01:19:20Sweet friends,
01:19:22farewell.
01:19:23Farewell forever.
01:19:24Ever.
01:20:04Meanwhile in Camelot,
01:20:06Sir Lancelot leant against a high window,
01:20:10far beneath his eyes,
01:20:12unknown and unobserved,
01:20:14slowly past the barge
01:20:16on which the lily-maid of Astolot lay,
01:20:18smiling like a star
01:20:21in blackest night.
01:20:24No, stop.
01:20:26Look,
01:20:27something's wrong.
01:20:31There's a current in the lake.
01:20:33The rain last night
01:20:33must have raised the water level.
01:20:35She's headed for Miller's Creek.
01:20:37Oh, come on, Charlie.
01:20:38You stay there.
01:20:41Anne!
01:20:42Anne!
01:20:43Where is she?
01:20:44Anne!
01:20:45Somebody help her!
01:20:57Anne!
01:20:59Anne!
01:20:59Anne!
01:21:03Anne!
01:21:05Let's go!
01:21:07Anne!
01:21:13Help!
01:21:18You're coming, Anne!
01:21:21Anne!
01:21:21Anne!
01:21:22She's going around the corner!
01:21:24Hold on, Anne!
01:21:25I'm coming!
01:21:28Push off!
01:21:29Push off!
01:21:29I'm pushing!
01:21:32Help!
01:21:34Anne!
01:21:35Anne, I'm coming!
01:21:39We can cut the corner.
01:21:40This way!
01:21:41Okay.
01:21:44Anne!
01:21:46I'm coming, Anne!
01:22:14I'm coming.
01:22:16Help me!
01:22:17Hurry!
01:22:17I'm in!
01:22:24Lucas!
01:22:28Help!
01:22:43Oh no!
01:22:47Gilbert!
01:22:48I'm coming, Anne! Hold on! Don't worry!
01:22:51It's cold! It's so cold!
01:22:54I know it's cold! Just be careful! Don't slip!
01:22:57Help me!
01:22:57Almost there!
01:23:00I'm slipping!
01:23:05Almost there!
01:23:06I'm slipping! I'm slipping!
01:23:09I'm almost there!
01:23:10I'm slipping!
01:23:12At your service, Ms. Shirley!
01:23:14Thank you, Gilbert!
01:23:15Gilbert!
01:23:15It's the most... it's the nicest... I'm not sure what it is.
01:23:27You saved me.
01:23:29My honor to oblige, Ms. Shirley.
01:23:32And will do.
01:23:34And Shirley, are you there?
01:23:37Down here, Father!
01:23:40And safe!
01:23:40It's Gilbert.
01:23:41We've gone too far!
01:23:50Gilbert Blythe, I'm forever in your debt.
01:23:57Oh!
01:23:59Thanks be to goodness for that!
01:24:02He's a good boy, you're Gilbert!
01:24:06And you're in!
01:24:07You're in!
01:24:09You're in!
01:24:12You're in!
01:24:12You're in!
01:24:12All's well that ends well.
01:24:13You're in!
01:24:30Even so, I...
01:24:32I can't be such good friends with you anymore.
01:24:35I beg your pardon?
01:24:37I'm sorry, Gilbert.
01:24:39It's difficult being 13.
01:24:41For me, for a girl, it's extremely complicated, but...
01:24:45Loyalty conquers all.
01:24:47Loyalty as to what?
01:24:48You make no sense.
01:24:49No.
01:24:50For the first time in my life, I'm being perfectly sensible.
01:24:53That's not fair!
01:24:54Ann!
01:24:55If you do that, I swear I'll...
01:24:57I'll never speak to you again!
01:24:59Do you hear me?
01:25:00I... I mean it!
01:25:04Ann!
01:25:22Here we are.
01:25:24Mmm.
01:25:26You're welcome.
01:25:28Good night, young goat.
01:25:31Good night to you, growling bear.
01:25:33No, no, leave it.
01:25:34Leave it, leave it, leave it.
01:25:35All right.
01:26:03Miss Ann?
01:26:04Come in, Matthew.
01:26:11Everything all right?
01:26:12Oh, yes.
01:26:14I told Marilla I've been foolish for the last time.
01:26:17Upon my oath from this moment forward, I'll be completely and utterly sensible.
01:26:22Isn't that splendid?
01:26:24Uh, yes.
01:26:26Yes, it is.
01:26:29But?
01:26:32Well, in my opinion, it's all well and fine to be sensible, but...
01:26:37Don't lose the romance, Miss Ann.
01:26:40Don't ever lose that.
01:26:44Night.
01:26:44You're right.
01:26:45No.
01:27:02Oh, honey.
01:27:11Yeah, no, no, no.
01:27:13What?
