All language subtitles for Little Men s01e03 Thanksgiving

What are you doing?

Kids are swinging on the gate again.

Soak the hinge.

Only time's left to tell them it's not a
toy.

Whole house is a toy to them.

Whoa.

I, uh... I happened to see the judge
today at the general store when I was in

town.

We spoke about you.

Nothing bad, I hope.

No, he, um... He wanted to know how you
were getting along on your job.

Told him that you were doing very well
and that you've been a big help to us.

Thank you.

He offered to reduce your sentence.

Really?

Felt it's a very serious charge, but
because of good behavior, the judge

that you'll be free to leave as of
Tuesday.

Tuesday? That's great.

Well, you've earned it.

Listen, I'll help you find a
replacement.

I appreciate that.

But I've already posted a sign at the
general store.

Thanks.

Well, I'd better get these groceries
back to Asia. She's got a lot of cooking

do for Thanksgiving.

I'm on my way.

Hey, Dan, Mr. Lurie's here.

Hey, guys, Mr. Lurie's here.

Lauren.

How are you?

Amy.

Well, I didn't think you'd make it back
in time for Thanksgiving.

We nearly didn't. The wind calmed the
day after we set sail out of London.

We sat there bobbing like a cork in the
channel for a week.

Good to have you back, Mr. Laurie.

It's good to be back, Dan.

Nat, you've grown another two inches,
I'm sure.

Beth, sweetheart, how are you?

I'm fine, Aunt Jo.

Nan, come here.

I'd like you to meet my sister, Amy, and
my brother -in -law, Teddy Lawrence.

Most people call me Lori.

This is Miss Anthea Harding.

Most people call me Nan.

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Nan.

This is our daughter, Beth.

Nice to meet you, Beth.

Hello.

Nan is our newest student.

Student? You're accepting girls now?

How...

Progressive of you, Joe. It's a
wonderful idea.

Do you like it here, Nan?

The boys aren't too rough on you, are
they?

I think you've got that backwards,
Laurie.

It's Nan who needs to be easier on the
boys.

Yes, she fits in quite nicely with them.

She certainly has that Plumfield look.

Yes, she certainly does.

She's a welcome addition to our family.

My husband and I founded Plumfield as a
school for children from all walks of

life. Its passing has left a void in our
lives.

But in the children, I see the promise
of a new day and find the strength to

keep our dream alive, no matter how hard
the struggle.

Well, you didn't have to get me
anything.

Nonsense. I couldn't very well return
from Europe without bringing gifts for

family.

It's beautiful.

Austrian.

Yes.

There.

Always nice to have a touch of class,
isn't it?

If you want, you can go play with them.

I'm sure the children would like that.

No, thank you. I haven't quite finished
my tea.

Have you been holding up Joe?

I have my moments.

Everywhere I look, there are reminders
of Fritz.

Your husband left quite a legacy.

Our lives are the better for knowing
him.

We'll all miss him very much.

Well, the children keep me busy.

They keep me in the present. I don't
have much time to dwell.

How have you been managing with school?

Well, we're still here.

But it has been difficult.

Several of the parents have already
pulled their boys.

I can help sponsor some new students.

That means so much, Laurie.

But I couldn't ask you to do that. You
already sponsored Dan and Nat. You

ask me to do anything.

I want to do it.

Anything to help keep the school
running.

I wish everyone felt that way.

If it were up to Eli McBride, he'd turn
this school into a guest house.

He won't stop badgering me about buying.
What did he offer?

I told it that it wasn't for sale, Amy.

No, of course not.

This is a fine school, Joe.

Perhaps the best in all of Concord.

Any parent who wouldn't want to send
their child here would be a fool.

Thank you.

She does love you, Joe, very much.

When word came of Fritz's death, she was
inconsolable.

She just has difficulty expressing her
true feelings.

You know that.

Well, the last she'll confide in are the
ones she loves the most.

Oh, Nick.

You haven't met my brother -in -law,
Laurie.

Hello. Pleasure to meet you.

Nick's been helping us out since Silas
had to leave.

I'm going to ride into town and think
some inquiries about ships leaving Bath.

Of course.

Nice to meet you.

He's leaving?

Well, he's only been here on a temporary
basis.

You remember Emil's uncle, Captain
Hoffman?

Unfortunately, yes.

Well, he was abusing Emil and Nick
stepped in.

Tried to stop him.

Sort of... Punched him.

He punched Captain Hoffman? Yes.

I'm liking this guy more and more.

Yes, well, he had Nick arrested for
assault.

I spoke to the judge and arranged for
him to serve out his sentence here at

Plumfield. That makes sense.

A man convicted of assault serving out
his sentence at a school for children.

He's done a great job.

The boys are very fond of him.

Anyway, he ends his up on Tuesday, so
he's leaving.

Well, I'm sure there are many other
convicts you can pluck out of jail.

Very funny.

You told me, Jess.

Hey, Beth, Beth.

The boys are choosing teams to play
ball.

Why don't you join us? I'm reading.

Well, you can read later. Come on. I'm
wearing my new dress, Father.

That's all right.

No, it isn't. That's cashmere. I will
not have it wallowing in the mud.

She doesn't want to play.

Hey,

Nick!

Sorry,

guys, I can't play.

I got too much to do before Tuesday.

What's Tuesday?

You didn't tell him?

I thought you were going to tell them.

Tell us what?

The judge says I'm free to leave as of
Tuesday.

Just rode into town, found out a ship's
leaving Boston Harbor Thursday.

A company I've worked for before.

Headed to the South Pacific, then on to
India.

Why do you have to leave?

I was only here temporary, Nat. You know
that.

Can't stay in one place too long.

Never could.

But Thursday's Thanksgiving.

I know, but if the ship's leaving, it's
leaving.

Company don't give much thought to
holidays.

Guys, come on.

I'm finally getting back to doing what I
love. This is my home.

It's where I belong.

The walnut?

Amazing thing. Nan's out there cracking
them on her forehead.

She's a child of many talents.

That she is.

Reminds me of a certain March girl I
once knew.

Are you staying for dinner?

I'm afraid Amy and Bess are ready to go.

Bess is already in the carriage.

Oh, well, you will be here for
Thanksgiving, though.

Of course.

What is it?

It's Bess.

It's just... I'm worried about her.

I feel like she's missing out on so much
of life.

Missing out?

She's traveling the world. She's seeing
things that most children only dream

about. Most of the time she just stays
inside reading a book.

She has no friends, no ambition, no
spirit.

Not like the kids here.

What are you saying?

That Beth should attend Plumfield?

It's crazy, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

It's also a great idea.

What is?

Um, well, the idea of sending Bess to
Plumfield.

I see.

You don't have to make a decision right
now. No, of course not.

She just started with a new tutor.

She hates that tutor, Amy.

Still, I think now's not the time to
shake up her life.

Shake up her life?

We just got back from London and Paris
before that.

Her life's been one shake -up after
another.

Some feel it'll bring her some
stability, make her feel like she has

We don't even know if the school will be
around next month.

I can assure you this school will be
around next month and the month after

Don't be so sensitive, Jo.

It's not that I doubt her abilities. No?

Then what is it?

Is it the children?

I don't want to fight with you. If you
don't want to send your daughter to this

school, just say it.

Why wouldn't she want to send Beth here?

It's the best school in Concord.

Amy said so herself.

Any parent who wouldn't want to send
their child here would be a fool.

If it means that much to you, Joe, then
fine. This isn't about me.

I'm only thinking about Beth.

Of course you are.

Settled then.

We'll move her in tomorrow.

Remember what we said, Peter.

It's just a trial run.

You don't like it if you don't have to
stay.

But you must give it a good try, Beth.

I'm sure once you get settled, you'll be
having so much fun, you'll be begging

us to let you stay.

Who's that?

Guess what? You're going to stay in my
room.

In your room?

Guess it's either called our room now,
right?

What do you think?

I thought you were going to clean this
room.

I did clean it this morning.

But then I wanted to show Beth my lucky
rabbit.

Finally found it under my bed.

Want to touch it?

No, thank you.

I'll get the rest of the bags.

My mother gave me this music box before
she died.

Still works, see?

I found this dead frog down by the
river.

Did you know if you boil it, the skin
comes right off?

Did you know that?

Hey, fellas.

Since when did you boys start wearing
Sunday clothes to school?

Since Bess showed up.

My other clothes were dirty.

I never stopped you from wearing them
before.

Guys.

We were thinking about what you said.

About why you're leaving.

And we just wanted you to know that
we're happy for you.

We hope that wherever you go, you'll
have lots of great adventures.

Yeah, we got something for you.

Something for you to remember, Spy.

Tommy, I found this up by the corral.

Jack paused it and... Oh, I could have
it.

Thanks, Guy.

I'll keep it with me always.

And maybe when you talk to other people
about us, we could be one of your

adventures.

You better get going.

Go on, get...

What

are

you doing?

Anne was going to clean this room.

Yes, well, we saw how well she did the
last time she cleaned it.

Amy, cleaning up after her isn't going
to teach her anything.

She needs to learn to do things for
herself.

Is that part of the Plumfield
philosophy?

Yes, it is. It's a very important part.

I want these children to be self
-reliant, not to expect to have

handed to them.

I was wondering how long it would take
for you to criticize the way I'm raising

Beth.

It wasn't a criticism of you. Of course
it was.

It always is.

I see the way you watch her every time
we come to visit.

That's only because I want her to play
with the other children and have them

fun. Beth is... She's not like the other
children.

No, she isn't.

Because she's been surrounded by adults
her entire life.

Well, now she's surrounded by children.

We'll see how well she benefits from it.

Amy.

I believe in my heart that she'll grow
to like it here.

And I'm grateful to you for giving her
the chance.

It's a beautiful figurine.

It's Beth's favorite.

It's lovely.

Just keep that nan away from it.

I don't want it getting broken.

They won't.

Hey, Beth.

What are you doing, you painting?

Yeah.

I'm heading over to feed the pigs.

Want to come? It's a lot of fun.

No, thank you.

Hey, you know what it's missing?

Me!

It's a landscape.

It's a bunch of trees.

It needs people.

Can I try?

I don't have any more brushes.

Some in the schoolroom.

I don't have any more paint.

Oh.

Okay.

Because we'll see you later.

Ah, she can be a real pest sometimes.

Yeah, but she doesn't mean any harm.

So, um, I was wondering, you know, when
you're done painting, if we could, you

know, perhaps engage in a friendly game
of horseshoes.

No, thank you.

Oh.

Well, perhaps you'd like to take a walk,
you know, down to the... No.

How many times do I have to tell you
people?

I don't want to play horseshoes. I don't
want to feed the pigs, and I do not

want to crack nuts on my head. I don't
want to have to do anything with any of

you, so just leave me alone.

garden snake.

He wasn't like it was poisonous or
anything.

How could you ever do such a thing?

She was being rude.

Ask Jack.

She had it coming.

That's no excuse.

We'll deal with your punishment
tomorrow.

Off to bed with you.

Heard about the snake.

Yes, well, it's still slithering around
in there somewhere.

I'm sure it'll turn up.

You can count on that.

The question is, where?

Let me guess.

They've pulled this kind of prank
before.

We've seen snakes, spiders.

One time, Tommy brought home a bullfrog
that he found by the river.

Of course, it gets loose in the house.
We searched for hours.

Finally gave up and went to bed.

Fritz had just closed his eyes when from
behind the pillow comes the frog landed

right on his head.

You should have seen his face.

I'll never forget it.

Joe? I was just on my way to see you.

About the snake.

I can assure you that this is what I was
talking about.

Beth is not like those children.

They're undisciplined, unrefined.

Well, they're children.

Sometimes children play pranks. Demi and
Daisy play pranks on one another all

the time. Prank?

This was a malicious assault.

Oh, it was a harmless garden.

Don't try to diminish that, Joe. Beth
was terrified.

and unprovoked, and I will not have my
daughter treat it in such a manner.

It was not unprovoked. No.

If Bess had been a little less rude to
the children, this never would have

happened. Oh, I see.

It's Bess's fault. The children just
wanted to be friends with her. Yes, by

shoving dead frogs in her face. Amy Jo,
not so loud.

Well, at least that was trying.

There she goes again.

It's never your fault that these
children lack discipline.

Amy, stop.

Anytime there's a problem, it's always
someone else's fault.

Never perfect Joe who has all the
answers, who knows everything about

perfect children.

Well, at least I allow my children to be
children and teach them how to think

instead of what to think. Don't flatter
yourself, Joe.

You were never very good at tutoring me,
remember?

Well, you can only teach those who want
to learn.

See? Again, my fault, not hers.

Well, listen.

I'll spare you the shame of having my
rude daughter foul up your perfect

I'll collect her first thing in the
morning.

Whoa.

You're going to leave without saying
goodbye.

I'm not real big on goodbyes.

Well, then, don't let me hold you up.

Thank you.

For everything.

Good luck.

You too.

What'll it be?

Beer and a room for the night.

Chippin' out tomorrow.

Well, well, look what drifted up with
the sea wind.

Levi Cole?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Nick Ryan.

Ha, ha, ha.

How are you? Good. How are you? Ha, ha,
ha, ha, ha.

Beer, rum chaser all round.

You on the camry?

Oh, a temperamental old lady.

Oh, but she's as strong and sturdy a
ship as I've ever sailed.

You two have sailed together before?

Many times.

I was aboard first time Nick ever sailed
with the company.

Down Havana way, wasn't it?

Portugal, but close enough.

Worst voyage I ever sailed.

Howling wind for days and then weeks of
dead calm. Halfway there, the meat goes

bad. So you know that you're in for two
months of hard tack and warm beer.

Except for Nicky here.

Nicky says he wants to try the meat. He
tastes it and he says ain't nothing

wrong with it. Tasted fine to me.

Oh, smell alone made your skin crawl.
But Nick there chewed away.

Happy as a clam till the captain sends
him up there into the crow's nest for a

lookout. Now, son, I don't know if you
knows it, but when you're up in the

crow's nest, it sways ten times more
than it does up on the deck.

But there's Nicky, and he's just a
-swaying back and

forth and back and forth.

And then comes all that beer and meat,
and we try to run for

cover, but it's no use, and we get
drenched.

I think it was, what, two weeks before I
came down from that crow's nest?

It was the most angry crew I ever saw.

But at voyage end, Nick here was part of
the family, and it's been that

way ever since.

Your family and we

Are

you

coming no you made the decision on your
own you can pick her up on your own

Fighting is chilling. We always do. We
agreed to a one -week trial. One week

that didn't include snakes being placed
in her bed.

Laurie, our daughter is frightened.

She doesn't want to be there. She
doesn't belong there.

Okay.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry about the
snake.

I don't know really why I did it.

Mrs.

Joe said you were coming. I was so sure
we were going to be friends.

When you didn't want to be my friend, I
guess I got kind of mad.

I'm really sorry.

If there's some way I can make it up to
you, do tours for you, I don't know.

If you think of something, I'll be down
by the river fishing with some of the

boys.

It in!

Look at the size of this one!

Hey, good job, Nat.

Do you hear? Do you want to try fishing?

No, that's okay.

Whoa! What?

I caught a nibble. A nibble? You mean
like from a fish?

Gotcha! Oh, he's a big one. I can feel
it. You mean there's a fish on the other

end of that?

Yep. He's a fighter, too.

Well, what are you waiting for? Reel him
in.

It's not that easy, Beth.

If you pull too hard, you're going to
snap the line.

You've got to play with him a little
bit. You know, wear him out.

Here, try it.

I can't.

Sure you can.

I've never caught a fish before.

You're already doing it.

Hold the pole steady and reel him in.
He's strong.

Hey, don't let him get away, Beth.

Keep the pressure on. You don't want him
to throw the hook.

What do you mean, throw the hook?

Like that.

Go on.

May I try again?

You bet.

So I'm thinking, what am I going to do?

Don't want these fools shooting me.

But still, I got a full -blown measles
epidemic inside. People are dying. I got

to get to town.

Before I can figure out what to do,
there goes Nat, running through the

drawing the guards away.

Nat.

Nat!

The one with the violin.

One and the same.

So now, with the gate clear, I'm able to
ride into town to get the medicine.

How did he know that they wouldn't shoot
him? He didn't.

He just saw something that needed to be
done, and he did it.

Oh, that's a brave lad.

Yeah, he is.

Why would Bess be at the river?

I don't know.

But the last time I saw her, she was
headed this way.

Well, once we get there, I'm taking her
back to Plumfield and packing up her

things.

Amy,

don't do this.

Please don't make it any harder than it
is.

I don't want to quarrel with you, Joe.

I don't want to quarrel with you either.

Then just accept my decision.

Have you discussed this with Lori?

Lori wants our daughter to be happy, as
I do.

And clearly, at Plumfield, she is not.

Gotcha!

He's a monster!

You're a bigger monster, so haul him in.

You're not getting away from me this
time.

Reel him in!

Need any help?

Ann, would you like some tea to warm you
up?

No, thanks.

What's wrong?

I shouldn't have asked her to go
fishing.

She messed everything up.

No, you didn't.

You looked at me like she was having
fun.

Yeah.

We're actually starting to get along.

Well, that's good.

We're like cats and dogs.

But that don't mean we can't be friends.

That's right, Ann.

Got some tea?

Thank you, Joe.

Amy, I'm so sorry. Not now, Joe.

Let's go upstairs and start collecting
your things.

Amy, would you just wait a minute? Lori,
please!

It's all right. Come on.

Bess!

Get the glue still wet.

Well, maybe if we tighten the string
around it, it'll hold while it's dry.

Good idea.

I'll buy you a new figurine vest. That
one's ruined.

Let's get your things packed. It's
getting late.

I don't want to go, Mother.

Father said I should give it a good try,
and I don't think I have.

You don't have to stay here.

I want to.

Please?

Almost there.

Whatever happened to her?

Who?

Allie.

You were gonna marry her, remember?

I was gonna marry a lot of ladies, Nick
Riley.

That's a bad cough, Levi.

I'll be fine once I get to warmer
waters.

Calm sea.

Following wind.

all I need nothing like

standing on the deck of a ship watching
the stars

makes you feel like

I've been thinking about our dear sister
Beth.

And wondering what she would have to say
about all this if she were still with

us.

She always did have a way of bridging
the gap between us, didn't she?

I know what she'd say.

She'd say, Amy, Joe, you two are as
different as cats and dogs, but that

mean you can't be friends.

I think a lot about our childhood.

The four of us.

Growing up in that old house.

The time I fell through the ice. You
gave me quite a scare.

But there you were to pull me out.

I was always looking to you for help.

I still am.

Try as I do.

I just can't seem to get things right.

That's not true, Amy.

You have a wonderful home and husband.

And you've raised a wonderful daughter
who loves you more than anything in this

world.

You'll continue to be her mother.

She will always look to you for love and
guidance.

No one will take that role from you,
Amy.

Are you warming up?

Yeah.

You do realize that I'm going to have to
come out here every day to check on

you. I want you to, Mother.

You come back here. I got him. I got
him.

Come back here.

Hey.

Barbie. Delighted to be here, my dear.

Oh, my. That's the impact.

That's so nice of you.

Hey,

Bobby, Bobby, it goes up there.

Billy, what are you doing with that
dish?

We didn't have anything to put the
cranberries in. I told you.

It's Austrian crystal. It's not meant to
be used.

Then what would we put the cranberries
in? Anything but this.

There you are.

We've been looking for you.

Thought you had a boat to catch.

I'm making a rule to finish what I
start.

Figure I'm not finished here yet.

Lots of things still need mending.

The barn door, paddock.

Chicken coop?

Exactly.

Well, with all that work to do, it looks
like you may have to stay a while.

I suppose so.

Well, since you're here, would you like
to come in for Thanksgiving dinner?

I insist.

All right.

Good.

He's back.

Marmy? Father?

I'd like you to meet Nick Riley, our new
caretaker.

Delighted. Nice to meet you. Hey,

Nick. Come on, sit right here.

Hey,

guy.

Oh, look.

Oh, come on.

Oh, my.

Beautiful.

Shall we join hands?

Dear Lord, this has been a year of great
change for us at Bunfield.

We've suffered the loss of loved ones.

But we've also seen new faces at our
table.

And we welcome them.

And hope that they will be as happy here
as we are to have them.

We've faced many challenges that have
tempted both our strength and our

But through it all, we've had each
other.

And that is something for which we are
truly, truly thankful.

Amen.

Amen. Let's eat.
