Original subtitles

- Go, Teddy!

- Oh!

- Oh! He's been run out.

- How's that? - He's very good.

- Teddy's been playing forever.

Can we play the next innings? - Oh, we're just finishing.

But...go on, a bat each.

- BOTH: Thank you.

- How do you hold it? - You'll be fine.

- Hit it and run if you can.

- Word of warning, Teddy's on top form today.

- Eye on the ball.

Oh! Good shot. Not bad for a girl.

Bad luck. - Good catch. - That's out.

- No! - I'm so sorry. - Don't worry, it's just a game.

- Right, your turn, sis. Ready?

For you, a Teddy treat.

That's out! And another one!

- But I didn't even do anything.

- Ha-ha! Your face is a picture.

Girls are no contest. Right, boys? - We need a level playing field,

because I know we'd give you a run for your money at lacrosse.

- I'm sure you play well, but we're bigger and stronger.

- Bigger and stronger doesn't necessarily mean better.

- Come on, chaps. This was fun. See you soon.

Oliver! Get my blazer.

- I love him, but he drives me crazy.

- CHANTS: - We play together!

- He always thinks he's right.

- Why not prove him wrong?

And we can have fun while we're at it.

- What do you mean?

- Thrash him at lacrosse.

- Yes.

- Hmm.

- Mr Parker! Mr Parker!

- Come in.

Afternoon, Clarissa. What's the urgency?

Excuses for late homework?

- No, not at all.

Felicity and I, we were wondering

if we could play a lacrosse match against the Thackerton boys?

- We don't usually play boys' schools.

- But we did at football.

- That was a bit of a one-off.

- Why can't this be a one-off too?

- Why Thackerton?

- Well, we want to teach them a lesson.

And we want to prove to them that girls should be taken seriously

at competitive sports.

- They can be an exuberant and talented lot

but can also be exceedingly smug and arrogant.

- You could be describing my brother.

He's a third-form lacrosse coach.

It would be magnificent to beat his team.

- It would be very satisfying to see them taken down a peg or two.

I need a reason for proposing it. - We can make it as a charity match.

Yes, we could all pay a small contribution to play.

- It's not a bad idea.

I'm sure Miss Grayling would support that.

I could even volunteer to be umpire. - You could?

- I don't see why not. I did at the football match.

- That would be super. - I'll make sure this match happens.

Don't you worry. - Thank you, Mr Parker.

- I'll take that. - Thank you.

- Thank you!

Let's practise the zigzag one more time.

Are you looking?

Now run to the halfway line, Jean.

Now pass to me.

- Well-played!

- Good job, girls. We'll try that again next session.

- Clarissa! Clarissa...

CLARISSA SNEEZES ..can I try out for the team?

- Um...have you played before?

- Um...we played yard ball in the orphanage.

- Yard ball? What's that?

- You roll a wet sock into a ball and use brooms to whack it.

- Goodness! Sounds lethal. Far more dangerous than lacrosse.

- The thing is, the girls have been playing since they were 11.

- I've played yard ball for five years.

- I just really think it's worth

learning the game and the skills first.

- Please! I'd like to give it a go.

- All right.

Meet us at training at five o'clock.

Let's see what you can do.

- Yes!

- I hope Nancy won't be too disappointed if she doesn't get in.

- She can play goalie. I'd much rather be reserve.

- We need you. You know the rules. Nancy's barely played before.

- I was thinking I could recruit her as a midfield.

- Actually, if you don't mind, I'd rather be in goal.

Come on, try me!

- Right.

- You first, Captain Clarissa.

Give me the best shot.

- Argh!

Wow! Great save. - Come on.

- You're really good.

- Crikey, Nancy!

- We're definitely swapping. You HAVE to play instead of me.

- Nothing gets past me. - You're amazing.

How did you do it? - At the orphanage, they call me The Wall.

- Well, Nancy, The Wall,

I think I can speak for everyone when I say we would love you

to be goalie for our team.

You're exactly what we need against the Thackerton boys tomorrow.

- Incredible. - You were amazing.

- SNORING

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

- Now, how many times have I told you, Nancy Thomas,

to knock before you enter? - I will, in a minute, Aunt Kitty,

I promise, but I've got exciting news.

- Go on, then. Tell me your exciting news.

- Well, I got into the lacrosse team.

- Really? - Mm-hm.

- Oh, I'm so proud of you.

Wait there!

This was my old one.

I used to be quite the lacrosse player too.

You're carrying on a family tradition.

- Thank you. - Oh!

Look after this, Nancy.

- You've Nancy Thomas in goal? - Yes. She's really good.

- Usually, a teacher would trial a player before they joined the team.

- Goodness! - I just don't think it's a good idea.

- Why?

- Nancy isn't... She's not as quick off the mark as the rest of you.

She can be a little bit...

Thackerton can be rough.

- Well, Nancy is tougher than she looks.

- I'm sure she is, but those boys can be unkind.

I know. I taught there.

- Please let her play, Mr Parker.

- She's a vulnerable girl. I can't risk it.

I'm not saying she can't play next time,

but this shouldn't be her first match.

- She'll be so disappointed.

- All right. I'll tell her myself.

- Please! Mr Parker!

- Here you are. - Thank you.

- SHE SIGHS

- Right, girls, let's get warm. Wake up.

Arm stretches. Right, now some legs.

Other side.

- DISTANT CHANT: - We play together! We play together!

- Really get those muscles stretched.

- What's that?

- TEDDY: - We stand together!

- ALL: We stand together!

TEDDY: - Thackerton never lose!

- I think they're our rivals.

Oh, my goodness, they're so loud. - It's all just swagger.

We're confident too. And we're at the top of our game.

- Well said. It's about agility, sportsmanship, strategy and speed.

- We've got that and more.

- Thackerton never lose!

- ALL: Thackerton never lose!

- But he's so tall!

- Size doesn't matter.

Think David and Goliath. Who won that battle?

- We can do it, girls.

- ALL: We stand together!

- Thackerton never lose!

- ALL: Thackerton never lose!

- We stand together!

- ALL: We stand together!

- Malory girls' chant, yes?

Ready?

- SHOUT: All for one and one for all, we are Malory Towers!

All for one and one for all, victory will be ours!

Nancy, may I have a word? - Of course.

- Look, Nancy, I'm sorry this is so last minute,

but I've told Clarissa I don't want you to play in the game today.

- But why?

- It's going to be rough and aggressive with the boys.

- Don't worry, Mr Parker. There are boys in the orphanage.

- But these are Thackerton boys. They can be...unkind.

I don't want them hurting you. - I don't mind what people say.

They can be unkind to me every single day.

- I'm sorry, Nancy. Next time.

- Please! Let me be part of the game.

- I'll tell you what -

why don't you cut these up for half-time,

then come out and join me as my lineswoman?

See you out there.

- Morning, sir.

You used to teach at our school, didn't you?

Opted for an easy life with the girls?

- I don't know what you mean by that. They're your equals in every way.

- Still time to forfeit before we thrash you.

- Malory Towers girls never give up. - May the best Carter win.

- She will.

- Right, sticks back-to-back.

- You can do this, Clarissa!

- Let's do this!

- Sorry. - Why sorry? It's a game.

- SHOUTING

- Get it back, Oscar! Fight!

- Come on.

Sorry! - Stop apologising.

- Use your height.

Intimidate. Now!

- Mind your language, else you'll have a yellow card for misconduct.

- Run!

- Clarissa, keep him off me! - Come on!

Run for it! - Clarissa! Clarissa! Clarissa!

Yeah! - Yeah!

- Josephine! - Yes! Yes!

- Oh, Josephine! - Never mind, never mind.

- I'm sorry. - Back to the centre.

- Thank you.

- Start the way we mean to go on!

- SHOUTS: - We play together!

- ALL: We play together!

- We're the Thackerton Blues! - ALL: We're the Thackerton Blues!

- We stand together! - Stay strong. If we believe we can,

we're halfway there.

- Well done, boys. Well done.

- Nancy, the match has started!

- I know. - But you should be on the pitch.

- Mr Parker doesn't think so. He's worried about me.

- Why? - It's not the right match.

The boys might be rough and unkind.

- Are you worried about playing rough boys? - Of course not.

- Are you worried that they'll tease you? - No.

- Do you want to play? - Yes.

And I told him, but he's the teacher.

Where are you going?!

- Well, I'm sure he thinks he's doing the right thing,

but you know yourself best. He should respect that.

- Don't say anything, Auntie Kitty. It's so embarrassing.

- But he doesn't understand you.

He's made an assumption. He's wrong.

- Please, Auntie, don't. I can manage by myself.

- Oh, if you don't want me stepping in, then I won't.

But I will come and find you after my rounds to see what's what.

- APPLAUSE Two all. Not such a walkover.

Your sister's quite something.

Ball, please.

WHISTLE

- Go, Oscar! Take it.

- Why sorry? It's a game.

- Oh! - Sorry!

- Go, Oscar, go!

- Look at that speed. - Oscar can catch her up.

- Shoot!

Great shot, Clarissa!

- Lovely job, guys!

- TOGETHER: - All for one and one for all!

- 3-2 to Malory Towers.

End of first quarter. Let's go.

TOGETHER: - All for one and one for all!

- That's it. Come on, girls!

Thank you, Nancy. Perfect.

Now, you can be my lineswoman.

- Actually, Mr Parker, I want to play.

- We agreed this wasn't the right match for you.

- We never agreed, Mr Parker. I really want to play.

- Let her play, she's good. - Yes, we need her on the team.

- We can't leave Nancy off.

- She's a much better goalie than I am.

- I tried for the team and got in, the same as everyone else,

so why are you treating me differently?

- All right. But I reserve the right to take you off if needed.

- Of course. - That's decided, then. Nancy Thomas, you're in goal.

- Thank you, Mr Parker. You won't regret this, I promise.

- Good luck, Nancy.

- Hey, kid. Well played.

You're good.

Right, you've proved your point. Can you let it go now?

- What do you mean? - Do you have to go this far?

- Oh! Poor Teddy. Beaten by a bunch of girls.

- It's not funny. - It's just a game, Teddy.

- For you, maybe.

For me, my reputation and school sporting career are at stake.

- Don't be so dramatic.

- I'm not. They could take my captaincy away if we lose.

- Over a fun charity match?

- You don't understand what it's like at my school.

Look, I will be a laughing stock. I will never live it down.

- What are you saying? - I'm not saying anything.

I'm just telling you what I'm up against.

- Are you asking me to lose on purpose?

- I'm not asking you to do anything.

I just want you to know that if you do win...

..it could destroy me.

- Clarissa? What's wrong? Are you all right?

- Actually...

..I don't feel good at all.

My tummy's churning.

Please can you tell Mr Parker that I feel ill?

I think I need to sit this next quarter off.

- OK.

Nancy! Nancy!

It's great that you're playing!

- OK, let's go.

- Good pass, June.

Take it. One more pass, one more pass.

- Come on! - Give it! - Get it back, Oscar. Fight!

- Come on, come on. - Come on now, girls, tackle!

- Get him! Tackle! Tackle!

- Go, Oscar! Go! - Girls, get back, get back! Get into formation!

- Nancy! Nancy! Nancy!

Are you all right?!

- Nancy, would you like to come off?

- I'm fine, Mr Parker.

- I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen.

- Come on. - Don't apologise. Well played. - Oh, she's fine.

- Let's go. New goalie's a pushover.

- Don't be so rude. Just you wait!

I've dealt with bigger boys than you.

- You can do it.

Restart after my whistle.

- We have to win now.

- Oh, my goodness! My nerves can't take this.

- Get the ball!

Nice! - Come on. Go on, girls!

- Take it. One more pass. - Yes!

- Yes! - Oh!

- Oh, now he's got the ball again.

- Go! Yes, Oscar, yes! - Stop him! Yes!

- Stop him! - Come on, girls!

- Come on, Nancy! - Right, brace yourself!

Oh! - Yes!

What a save! Come on, Nancy! - Nancy! Well done!

- Great save!

Half-time!

- Well played, Nancy, The Wall.

- We've definitely got them worried.

- We're strong in defence, but we need goals.

- Yes, we need Clarissa. What's up with her?

- She said she felt sick, but she was fine until Teddy spoke to her.

- Let me go get her.

TEDDY: - We play together!

- BOYS: We play together!

There you are, Clarissa. We need you.

- I'm not feeling very well.

- Did your brother upset you? Was he rude?

He was rude to me.

- He basically asked me not to score.

He said he would be destroyed if we beat him.

- Destroyed? That's ridiculous.

He's just embarrassed to be beaten by his sister.

He'll get over it.

- Maybe.

- Don't let him stop you being yourself.

- I think you're right.

Why shouldn't I do what I'm good at? - Do what's right for you.

- Thank you, Nancy.

Come on, let's go.

- Everything all right?

- Fine.

Felt a bit out of sorts after our chat earlier.

But I'm better now. - Jolly good.

- Nancy, could I have a moment? - Mm-hm. Bye!

- You made me feel really bad.

You shouldn't have done that. - Done what?

- You know what you did, Teddy.

It's not fair, playing emotional games.

- Steady on. I was only explaining my situation.

- You manipulated me.

It's not nice, it's not kind, and it's unsporting.

- I didn't mean it like that.

- It's only your ego that will take a bruising if we win, isn't it?

You won't actually be destroyed.

- It's not that simple. - Yes, it is. Because it's a game.

The best team wins, and whoever loses has to deal with it.

- Clarissa!

- Hey, Jo!

- Clarissa.

- Girls, stay strong.

Malory girls never give up.

- Come on, you've got this, Clarissa.

- Switch on now, fellas.

- Come on!

- Everyone spread out. Oscar! Intimidate!

Go!

- Show them what you're made of.

- Go, Clarissa!

- Go on. Go!

- Go, Oscar!

- Oscar!

- No! - Oscar, go! - No!

- No! Don't throw it yet. Don't throw it yet.

Get closer!

Go! Now!

Now, now, now!

Well done, Jackson. - No!

- WHISTLE

The shot was inside the crease.

Dangerous shot. The goal is disallowed.

- Yes!

- Why did you do that, you giant oaf?

Do you want us to lose? - I'm sorry. - Excuse me. Don't apologise, Oscar.

You're the oaf, shouting like that.

You should say sorry to him.

- Oh!

- One minute of play left.

- Come on, Malory Towers!

One minute.

- Team, time for the zigzag!

- Zigzag coming up.

Nancy?

- What's this? - Let's go, girls!

Come on, girls!

- Stop her!

Someone! - Come on.

- Stop her!

She's right there. Stop! Oscar! Chase! Go, someone!

She's going. Go!

- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

4-2 to Malory Towers.

Malory Towers are the winners.

- Never mind. No hard feelings.

- Well done, girls!

- The girls won.

- Didn't they do well? A triumph.

- What did you think of Nancy?

- Oh, she's a terrific player. - You nearly didn't let her play.

- I was just trying to protect her.

But I see now I made assumptions I shouldn't have.

- It's a thin line between protecting someone

and curbing their freedom, Mr Parker.

- I judged too quickly.

I should have listened better.

- She's shone today.

She's growing in confidence.

- TOGETHER: - All for one and one for all! Victory is ours!

- We've won!

- I just want to say... - No sorrys.

- ..thank you for your word to Teddy.

- He deserved it. - He's a nice chap, but his competitive side

can bring out a monster.

- Well played, sis. - Thank you.

Lucky I didn't fold under your tactics.

- I'm sorry.

No big brother wants to be beaten by his younger sister.

You must understand that. - Sort of.

But no little sister wants to act small

just so their big brother feels better.

- You're good. You play like a boy.

- Teddy, why a boy?

Why can't you just say I'm a good athlete?

- You're right.

On a level playing field, the girls CAN beat the boys.

You were the stronger team.

- MR PARKER CLEARS HIS THROAT

Thank you all for a thrilling match.

Well played, both sides.

It was very close, but in the end, the girls had the edge.

Malory Towers are the champions.

- Well, now it gives me great pleasure

to donate the money raised by Malory Towers to the Wrens.

- Finally, after much consideration,

the Woman Of The Match is...

..Nancy Thomas, The Wall. Well played.

- Well done, Nancy.

- I owe you an apology, Nancy.

I'm glad you stood up for yourself and got to play.

You really shone.

- Thank you, Mr Parker. I told you I was good, didn't I?

This isn't for me. This is for us all.

Best team ever!

- TOGETHER: - All for one and one for all, we are Malory Towers!

All for one and one for all, victory will be ours!
