All language subtitles for Little Men s01e09 Coming Attractions

Asia really outdid herself this morning.
Breakfast was absolutely delicious.

I think those are the best biscuits I've
ever had.

Yeah, I could have eaten a dozen of
them.

Split it with you.

I'll get the butter.

We're getting low on feed.

Thought I'd run into town tomorrow and
pick some up.

We're out already?

It's the end of the month, Jo.

Where's the time gone?

Rob's birthday is just in a few weeks. I
haven't even thought about what kind of

presents to get him.

What does he like?

All kinds of things.

Trains, puppets, storybooks.

But I really want him to do something
different this year.

Well, maybe you could make him
something.

What's his favorite story?

Well, he really likes Little Red Riding
Hood.

But I don't know what I could make out
of that.

Noah's Ark is one of his favorites. I
must have read it to him a million

Well, there you go. Build him Noah's
Ark.

Build it?

Sure, you can make him a little toy
model, animals and all.

I wouldn't know where to start.

Well, I could help you.

Would you?

I'd really appreciate that. Woodworking
is definitely not my strong suit. No

problem.

Make it. Are you sure?

Sure.

Hey, Dan, did you hear that snoring?

How could I not?

I can barely hear the reverend.

Listen, the guys and I, we're going to
play some ball. Do you want to join us?

I can't.

I'll go out and fish my rip and take.

Well, I heard that Franz is giving us a
new science project tomorrow.

Another one? Yeah. Have they finished
the last one yet?

He said he's going to break us up into
pairs. Who knows, maybe we can even work

together. Yeah, I hope so.

Lovely, lovely. Thank you very much,
Sarah. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Excuse us, please, Reverend.

Amy, that was rude.

Leave him alone.

Maybe.

Who's she talking to?

Edward Cranston.

He went to Harvard with Laurie.

He's an attorney in a very prestigious
law firm in Boston.

Well, what is he doing in Concord?

He's here for the week on business.

I think he's quite taken with her.

Is she blushing?

Come on.

That was a beautiful hymn you sang in
church today.

I hope you don't mind my saying, but you
have the voice of an angel.

Edward, I'd like you to meet my other
sister, Jo Bear.

How do you do?

It's very nice to meet you.

Laurie's told me so much about you all.

Really? And just what have you told him?

Just how lucky I am to have married into
a family full of such beautiful women.

Yes, indeed, Laurie.

You are a lucky man.

You will study the animal and then write
a five -page report about it.

Any animal is fine, mammal, bird,
amphibian, as long as everyone chooses a

different one.

Can we do fish?

Fish are fine, Tommy.

How about trout?

Trout are fine as well.

Now, as you'll soon find out, animals of
different species often work together

to ensure their protection and safety.

So, in keeping with this, I've decided
that you will do the assignment in

of two.

Franz, can I be with Dan, please? Can I
work with Tommy?

Hey, Nan, you want to work with me?

Class.

Class.

To avoid this precise scenario, I've
taken the

liberty of choosing your partners for
you.

Tommy, you'll work with Emil.

Nat, you and Nan will work together.

Dan?

You'll work with Beth.

Peter, you and David will work together.

All right, we got plenty of wood.

Now you just gotta decide what you want
it to look like.

Well, there's a description of it right
here.

Make thee an ark of gopher wood.

The door of the ark shalt thou sit in
the side thereof.

Like a drawbridge.

Drawbridge?

Yeah, and then there'll be a little
house on top.

You know what I mean.

Let me show you.

My feed drawn is not your strong suit
either.

Very funny.

There. Like that.

You know, the little house that Noah and
his family lived in.

Oh, you mean the cabin?

Yeah.

Well, the cabin looks all right, but the
bow needs a little work.

You got to angle it more or else she's
going to sink.

There.

That looks good.

Let's get started.

Well, now we need to figure out how big
you want it to be.

It's probably not going to be as big as
the real one.

Probably not.

300 cubits, it says in here.

So, a cubit was... Easy inside of your
arm.

From here... to there.

So, one cubit?

What?

The arc for Rob, about one cubit?

Oh, yeah.

They're measuring wood.

Giraffes, that might be interesting.

Yeah, they're pretty and all.

They don't really do anything.

I want something that eats the giraffe.

How about a lion?

Lion? Yeah, Franz, can we do a lion?

Sorry, Nat, Tommy and Emil have already
chosen that one.

I want something that eats other
animals.

All right, how about hyenas?

Yeah, but hyenas don't do anything. They
just wait around for other animals to

do the killing. Well, keep looking.

Hey, how about that?

An alligator.

Yeah, they kill things.

Penguins? Yeah, penguins are so huge.

Fine. Whatever you want. Good. We should
divide up the work. You can study their

environment, diet, and social habits.

And what are you going to do?

I'm going to study nesting.

Nesting? Yeah, you know, how they build
their homes, feed their cute tiny little

babies.

Oh, so I have to do three things and you
only have to do one.

Well, that sounds real fair.

I'll have you know that the study of
nesting is much more complicated than

you're doing.

Yeah, sure it is.

It is.

You're so rude.

Gosh, don't do anything right.

I think we'll need more potatoes in
here.

Oh, I better get a few more.

You know how these kids like my
potatoes.

Amy!

Meg! What are you doing here?

Oh, nothing. We just stopped by to say
hello.

What's the matter with you two?

What's going on? Go on, tell her.

Edward sent Meg a note.

A note?

He asked Laurie permission to send her
one.

What did it say?

Oh, nothing really.

Nothing? It is the most romantic letter
I've ever read.

You've got a lovely penmanship, don't
you think?

He wants to court her.

Well, are you going to have sex?

Of course she is.

Well, I haven't decided yet.

I need to think about it.

Meg, what's there to think about?

He's very handsome.

He's society.

He's disgustingly rich.

Amy.

And he's a gentleman.

He seems very nice.

Well, it all just seems a bit sudden to
me. Joe.

This opportunity may not present itself
again.

Meg just can't throw it away.

Well, Amy, we can't pressure her either.

This is a big step for Meg.

When she's ready, she'll make the right
decision.

I think I'd like to accept his
invitation.

Well, then, good.

That's good.

You're supposed to help me set the
table, Beth.

I am. I'm making the napkins look
pretty.

See? It's so fun.

It is?

Yes, it is.

Yeah, well, it looks more like a turkey.

It says here that other animals eat baby
alligators.

The mothers will sometimes carry their
babies in their mouths.

That doesn't sound very safe.

What if she accidentally swallowed?

Oh, hey, look at this.

It says that alligators corp by nudging
and shoving each other.

Stop it.

Corning season begins.

Flashing, head slaps, and roaring bells.

You're not going to do it right. Don't
do it at all, Dan.

You know, I think Dan and Bess should
have been alligators.

Yeah, right.

Happy now?

Decoration. It doesn't go on the plate.

Of course.

That's why Dan and Beth are always
fighting.

They're courting just like alligators.

Really? Yeah.

They must really like each other and not
even know it.

We're going to have to help them find
out.

I don't know, Nan.

Trust me, I'll prove it to you.

So Tommy comes to me with this idea
about how to help me clean the chimneys.

He figures.

We'll throw a chicken down there and
it'll flap its wings and clear out all

soot.

That kid sure got his own way of seeing
things.

You know,

if you keep sanding that wood down any
further, you're going to be able to see

right through it.

You all right?

Of course.

I thought you'd get to see her earlier
today.

Is everything all right?

Well, there's this man, a friend of
Lori's.

He asked Meg to court him.

She's accepted.

You don't like him?

I don't really know him.

I just think she may be getting herself
into something she's not ready for.

Well, if she'd accepted his invitation,
then I guess she's ready.

Her husband, John, has only been gone a
short while.

It's too soon for her to be thinking
about courting him.

Who's to say what's too soon?

I mean, just because she lost someone
she loved don't mean she can't never

someone else.

Woman shouldn't have to be alone the
rest of her life, Joe.

No one should.

Well, we could bend a doll.

Do you mind if we finish it in the
morning?

Sure.

You should have seen it.

Edward was so taken with Meg, he barely
even touched his tea.

Honestly, Joe, I've never seen a man
more admitten.

Laurie says he has the most beautiful
house in Boston.

It's the biggest library he's ever seen.

He has an autographed copy of Great
Expectations.

I never thought I'd meet anyone who
loves Dickens as much as you do, Jo.

He sent Meg another note.

Another one.

And she sent him one right back.

You did?

She wrote him a love letter.

It was beautiful.

I see.

So we've progressed to love letters,
have we?

That's perfectly acceptable to send
letters, Jo.

I thought you'd be happy for me.

I am happy for you, Meg.

If you want to send letters to Edward, I
think that's great.

You know, Jo, if you spent some time
with Edward, you'd see he's a really

man. I'm sure he is.

Perhaps we should all have dinner
together sometime.

I think that's a lovely idea Amy.

We could even do it here at Plumfield.

How about tomorrow night?

Beth likes Dan, huh? I don't believe it.
Oh, yeah, she really likes him.

Why is she so mean to him, then?

Oh, because she's uncomfortable.

There's no way to tell him that she
likes him.

She's scared if he finds out, he'll just
tease her.

You should hear the way she goes on and
on about how big and strong he is.

She likes him, all right.

Think he took the bait? Oh, yeah. Those
two will be kissing in no time.

You gonna stand there all night or you
gonna come over here and give me a hand?

Well...

It's really starting to take shape,
isn't it?

Yep. Keep working like this. We'll have
it done in no time.

Here.

Why don't you hold these pieces in place
while I put the roof on?

Done?

Yep.

Watch your fingers there.

Try to hold... Hang on, hang on.

Gotta let the glue dry for a minute.

All right.

That ought to do it.

So I was thinking about the ramp.

Thought maybe we could put a handle on
it, make it easier to open. And then for

the windows, what I was thinking was...
Nick, um...

I appreciate all that you've done.

But I think that I should take it from
here.

I mean, this... This is a gift from me
to Rob.

I just wouldn't feel right if I didn't
do it myself.

I mean, he is my son.

Oh, it's still your gift, Joe.

He doesn't even know I helped you with
it.

Well, I know that, but... I would know.

What's going on here?

Nothing.

I think I should finish it myself,
that's all.

All right.

What's a bell?

Just one.

No. Isn't that fun?

It's just like Bell Gardner's coming out
party. Remember, Meg, when we were

helping you get ready? How can I forget?

Joe left the curling iron on my hair too
long and burnt it all off.

This one would look fabulous on you.
It's beautiful.

It's silk.

What do you think, Joe?

I think it's a bit much.

I don't know.

Don't worry, Meg. There's plenty for you
to choose from.

I mean, I don't see why she has to get
all dressed up anyway. I mean, this is

just a dinner at Plumfield.

I think Meg should just be herself.

Joe, she has to make a good impression.

After they're married, then she can go
back to being plain old Meg.

You know what I mean.

Married? Amy, they haven't even had
dinner yet.

I don't know if I can go through with
this.

Come on, Meg, it'll be fun. It'll be
just like the coming -out party you

had. We'll dress you up, we'll do your
hair.

Maybe we could curl your hair and you
could wear it down like you used to.

You want her to wear her hair down?

Why not? You wear yours down. I know,
Amy, but I am not Meg.

You know what I mean.

Out. Both of you. Out.

Out.

Let me help you with that.

No, that's okay.

No, really.

It's too heavy for you.

Besides, I've carried stuff that weighs
ten times more than this.

Good for you.

Come on, Beth.

Let me help you.

No, I've got it. Oh, it's all right.

I want to do it.

Beth!

Oh, my dress.

Look what you did to my beautiful dress.

What I did?

You're the one who spilled it.

If you hadn't grabbed it in the first...
place i was just trying to help you

well next time don't don't worry i won't
fine good

it's gonna be harder than we thought

yep next time for plan b what's plan b

i'll think about this

You get your fingers out of my cooking.

I think your soup needs a little more
salt. Would you mind getting your

out of my kitchen?

Laurie, go keep Edward company in the
parlor.

And you get out of here, too.

Wow.

You look great.

Thank you.

Amy.

Can you help me with this bracelet,
please? Sure.

So, Nick, will you be joining us for
dinner?

Amy, I'm sure Nick has better things to
do at this time.

Yeah, I guess I do.

Y 'all have a nice evening.

Well, as soon as Meg comes down, we can
serve dinner.

So, you think things are going well?
Yeah, they are.

I just have to finalize the paperwork
and I'll be heading home next week.

I'll be in Boston on Wednesday.

Well, you should invite him in your
office. It's right on the corner of

Arlington and... Meg!

You look... You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Well, now that we're all here...

I was playing Rodrigo.

Rodrigo. Oh, so sorry.

Anyway, Jo played the Duke of
Lancashire.

Fake beard and all.

And Meg, she played the enchanting lady,
Zara.

She gave the most delightful
performance.

So not only do you have a beautiful
voice, but you're an actress, too.

Oh, it's just something we did for fun.

And Meg was such a professional.

Right in the middle of her soliloquy.

A mouse ran underneath his skirt.

What, did he scream?

No. I remember that. It was climbing
right up my leg.

After she finished, that's when she
screamed.

Growing up, it seems I spent more time
at their home than I did at my own.

Well, I can understand why.

I think he was just trying to get out of
doing his studies.

Now that, I find hard to believe.

At Harvard, I seem to recall you being a
model student.

He wasn't always so disciplined.

He used to hide out at our house.

But John always knew exactly where to
find him.

He used to say that you were the most
unruly scholar he'd ever tutored.

Well, I did give him a hard time.

Well, I don't think he minded looking
for you at our house.

Gave him a perfect excuse to see Meg.

Who's John?

He was Meg's husband.

What a beautiful home you have, Joe.

Yes. It was Great Aunt March's.

After she passed away, she left it to
Joe.

And Joe turned it into a school.

And a very fine one, from what Meg tells
me.

Thank you.

Well, Bess is doing very well here.

And I hope that Demi and Daisy will
attend Plumfield as soon as they're old

enough, too.

Those are your children.

Oh, they're quite remarkable.

Very bright.

They certainly are.

Just like their mother.

Meg.

Are you all right?

Just leave her alone, Joe.

You've done enough harm for one night.

It's all right.

I don't know what I was thinking.

It's too soon.

No, it isn't.

What you've done, you just had to bring
up John.

It's not your fault.

I never should have accepted his
invitation.

I'm not ready for this.

You are ready, Meg.

That's not for you to decide.

nervous. Meg, it's not too late for you
to enjoy the rest of the evening.

I can't.

I can't face him. No, no.

I didn't know anyone was down here.

You couldn't sleep either, huh?

No.

I just... I thought I'd come down and
get something to eat.

Yeah, me too.

Want a split of biscuit?

No, thanks.

It's all right. I don't mind.

No, it's all right.

Actually, I'm not that hungry.

After all, I should probably go back up
and get some rest.

Got a busy day tomorrow.

Sure.

Night.

Night.

Sam, can you take these plates, please?

Why? Wait.

You don't need my help, remember?

Dan, just take them.

He told me he used to leave you alone,
so... That's what I'm gonna do.

What is wrong with him?

What do you mean?

He's been acting weird all week. Haven't
you noticed?

Oh, now that you mention it, I guess.

What?

I was looking through one of Dan's
nature books.

I found a poem.

Dan doesn't write poems.

It's a real mucky one, too.

Really?

I don't see why.

I watch her from a distance, keeping out
of sight. I know my heart belongs to

her, and this has been my fight.

With hair like golden silk and the eyes
the bluest, Lucy is a graceful princess,

and this I know is true. Who did he
write to?

Come on, isn't it obvious?

No.

Graceful princess.

He's not writing to me.

You think Dan wrote it to me?

Dan likes me?

Remember.

Louis Luna.

Sure looks like you're good at it.

Yeah.

Dan, don't you just love horses?

Their hair is so... silky.

And the way they move is just so...
graceful.

But you know what I love even more than
horses, Dan?

Poetry.

You have to be a very sensitive person
to write poetry.

Yeah, well, this is real interesting and
all, but I've got a lot of work to do,

so if you don't mind... All right.

Excuse me for trying to have a polite
conversation with somebody.

Next time, I'm just going to talk to the
horse.

Plancy?

Did I do something to offend you?

What? Last few days, you've been acting
different.

Like, you don't want me around anymore.

No, that's not true.

Is it because of what I said about
Maggie?

No. Because if it is, I'm sorry.

She's not ready for a relationship.

And who am I to say anything different?

I'm sure she'll do whatever's best for
her.

Hello, Jo.

Amy, it's late. What are you doing here?

I've just come from seeing Meg.

How is she?

How do you think she is?

She's upset.

She's refusing to see Edward again.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

I only wanted what was best for Meg.

This isn't about Meg.

If you're feeling guilty because you're
having feelings towards Nick, well,

don't take it out on Meg.

What?

That's ridiculous.

No, it isn't.

This is about you and Nick.

And we both know that.

Oh, Nan, I don't think this is working.

Well, maybe we've got to give them a
bigger push, like lock them in a room

together or something.

Then they'll kill each other for sure.

They'll be lonely. It'll be romantic.

Once they realize that they're trapped,
they'll have no one to turn to but each

other. What are you two up to?

Well, we're trying to figure out a way
for Dan and Beth to kiss.

Why? Because they like each other.

Dan and Beth?

Yeah, haven't you noticed?

Those two are like oil and water.

I just can't even stand to be in the
same room as Danny.

Yeah, I know. See how much you like him?

That's the way nature works.

If you like someone, you gotta push them
away first.

The more you like them, the more you
push them away.

Just like with the alligators.

You sit there much longer, I'm gonna
make you pee or something.

Yeah, I should probably get back to
work.

Did y 'all go into town today?

No, she's up there.

Did she seem all right to you?

I suppose so. She's been a little quiet
this week.

You and your friend, she had something
on her mind. She'd probably tell you,

right?

I'd like to think she would.

She saying anything about me?

Like what, Nick?

I don't know, like, are you happy with
me here?

You know, things like that.

She seems to be.

She's real fond of you.

Fond.

Come here and taste this stew for me.

Mmm.

It's good.

It's been simmering all day.

It just needs to cook for a while.

You know, stew is always better when you
just give it some time.

Hi. Have you been here long?

No, I just got here.

I'm glad you came.

Yeah, me too.

Listen, Dan, I know we haven't been very
nice to each other this week.

This week?

Okay, ever. But if you're willing to
start over, then so am I.

Oh.

I guess I could do that.

I was really glad to get your apology
letter.

It meant so much.

What letter?

There's no need to be shy.

No.

Beth, I never sent you any apology
letter. Well, you sent me one, remember?

No, I didn't.

Yeah, you did.

Well, if you didn't send me a letter and
I didn't send you a letter, then...

I came to return your necklace.

Thank you for letting me borrow it.

I see you put your hair back up.

Yes, well, you were right.

It just wasn't me.

Well, I thought it looked nice that way.
You should wear it down more often.

Well, thanks again for the necklace.

Meg. I owe you an apology.

No, Joey.

It's all right. Meg, wait, please.

I behaved terribly this week.

I'm sorry.

I haven't been a very good sister to
you.

You have always been there for me, and
the one time you needed me, I wasn't

there for you.

I hope you can forgive me, because I
couldn't bear for you to be angry with

Oh, Joe, I'm not angry with you.

thinking these last few days.

And I've come to realize how fortunate I
am.

I've had love in my life with John.

Some people live their whole lives and
never know that kind of love.

But there's nothing that says you can't
have that love again.

Meg, if there is even the slightest
possibility that you can find that love

Edward,

Then you should go after him.

It's too late.

He's leaving for Boston today.

Maybe it's not too late.

Joe!

Amy! Joe!

Meg! What's going on?

Has Edward left yet?

Yes, he left about a half hour ago.

See, Joe, I told you it was too late.

I bet we can still catch him.

You're going after Edward?

Yes. Are you coming?

We're never gonna catch him.

Hurry, Joe.

Get up! Get up! Faster! Faster!

Where is he?

I thought I recognized that voice.

Oh, sorry.

I don't usually holler like that.

Sounded like the voice of an angel to
me.

I wasn't so sure.

Isn't it nice to see Meg looking so
happy?

It certainly is.

It would be nice to see you looking that
happy, too.

Amy, you couldn't. Have that, Joe, if
you want it.

I know Fritz would want you to find love
again.

He would hate the thought of you being
alone.

I don't know what the big deal about
kissing is, anyways.

I know. I mean, even if Dan and Beth did
kiss, they'd probably go back to

fighting again.

The theory is if two people kiss,
they're going to fall in love, right?

Yeah, that's what they say.

That's just stupid.

It's not like the kiss is magic or
anything.

I know, you're just squishing your lips
together. What's so magic about that?

Nothing.

Have you ever kissed anyone before?

Nope. Have you?

Nope.

Maybe we should try it.

What? You know, like test the theory.

Like an experiment.

All right.

Of course, you have to close your eyes
first.

Okay.

Nope.

Nothing. You?

Nope.

There goes another theory.

Hey, listen, just give me a second and
I'll be out of here. You can have the

whole place to yourself.

No, actually, I was looking for you.

I was hoping you could help me finish
Rob's arc.

I know that I told you earlier that I
didn't need your help.

But I'd still like to have it.

If your offer still stands.

My offer still stands.

If you're sure that's what you want.

All right.

Well, first thing you ought to do is
file this door down.

Yeah, I know. I couldn't get it to fit.

Well, you can't force it.

You've got to take your time with it.

Just be patient.

The whole thing will come together real
nice.

So, Andy, am I here?

Yeah. If I hold it like that here, more.
