- [Kids] Good morning, Ms Stacey.

- [Ms Stacey] And good morning to you, class.

Please be seated.

- Go quietly.

Quietly!

- Hetty, perhaps it might be best if you and I

discussed my announcement privately, beforehand.

- Morning is all ready half over, Muriel, so.

Whatever it is you have to announce.

Please, go ahead.

Do it.

- As you wish.

Class, as Superintendent of Schools it is my job

to ensure that Prince Edward Island excels

in the world of education!

- I think that you'll find that my standards

are comparable to--

- To none, Ms King, without question.

So, I hope that you will all be as pleased as I

than an idea I have long espoused has finally been

approved by our rather old-fashion Board of Education.

We are introducing into the regular curriculum,

physical education!

(kids cheer)

- [Hetty] Settle down, please.

- Physical education?

- Quiet down, instantly!

All of you!

Rupert Gillis, get down from that desk!

Rupert!

Sit!

- Your attention please, class.

As the Board thinks it advisable that you take

as much as possible of your exercise in the open air.

We would like you to consider hockey as your winter sport.

(kids cheer)

Our ladies team in Charlottetown has had great success.

- Women?

Playing hockey?

I'd like to see that.

They probably skate like you, Felix.

- [Hetty] Rupert, I'll not ask you again.

- Of course, Ms King, the class will have to be

divided in two teams and two captains must be selected.

- Me, me!

I want to be a captain!

I think I should be a captain on the count of my pa's

the coach of the Avonlea Avengers hockey team.

- Only 'cause he bought their sweaters, Gillis.

- [Rupert] Shut up, King.

- [Andrew] No, Felix.

- Clearly, you seem to have the matter in hand, Ms Stacey.

So perhaps you should continue.

- Very well, Ms King.

Of course this must be done democratically,

so a show of hands please for Rupert.

I see.

You seem to have a great deal of support, Rupert.

Have we any further candidates?

- [Felix] Andrew!

- Andrew?

- He's the best player in the school!

- A show of hands please for Andrew!

- [Kids] Yeah!

- Andrew.

- We'll beat the pants off you, King.

- Of course, class, winning must take second place

at all time to good sportsmanship.

Captains, you may take turns selecting your teams.

Rupert, you first.

- Fred Bell.

- [Andrew] I'll take Felix.

- [Rupert] Billy Spry.

- [Andrew] Edward Ray.

- [Rupert] Patrick Lawson.

- [Felix] Rupert, looks like you get Sara!

- Ha-ha, look at all the weaklings,

you ain't got a chance, King!

- Shut up, pig face!

- I'll get you, Felix!

You just wait!

- Oh, I'll be waiting for you!

- Silence!

- Sara, has there seems to be an odd number

of people in the class, perhaps you'd like to play

on Rupert's team?

- That's not fair!

She can't skate!

- Then I'm sure you'd be delighted

to give Sara a few pointers.

- My, my!

It's wonderful to see such team spirit and cooperation.

- [Both] See you on the ice!

(tranquil music)

- Competitive sports have no place

in this school, Muriel Stacey!

- Oh, nonsense, Hetty.

All the Provincial Supervisors agree,

healthy bodies breed healthy minds!

The role of team sports in the education

is as important as--

- Supervisors?

Ha!

Those who can't teach, supervise!

I see no point in sacrificing my valuable teaching time

to this latest, most ridiculous whim!

These children get quite enough physical exercise,

thank you, doing their chores.

- Chores do not support team spirit

and cooperation in quite the same way!

- Team spirit, my auntie!

Competitive sports bring out the worst in people,

not the best.

I'll have no part in it.

- Well, it's Board policy now, Hetty.

So, I'm afraid you'll have to.

Oh, look, I'm off to Markdale and Summerside

for a few days, just try it!

By the time I return I'm sure that you'll feel

that the positive benefits of physical education

in the curriculum as keenly as I do!

Now I really must dash, Hetty, because I'm behind time.

So good day to you.

- [Hetty] Yes, but--

- No!

- [Mr Gillis] Timber!

Jeb, bring that team in!

Zeke, fell those other trees up the road!

- Archie Gillis!

You and your stinkin' saw!

That tree could've landed through roof!

- It'd be an improvement.

- Clear off my property!

- Your property?

I got a license to cut on this land.

I should be ordering you off!

- You haven't lived in Avonlea long enough

to be ordering anyone about!

When Mr Van Der Veer owned the sawmill

he'd never have dreamed of taken trees

so near the town let alone the roof over my head!

He had some common decency!

- You can put your decency in your pipe and smoke it!

You old dragon!

You're nothing, but a squatter!

- A curse on you and your men, Archie Gillis!

You'll rue the day you put an ax in that tree!

Now, clear off!

The lot of you!

- [Man] Come on, get out, get out, get out.

- Jeb, Zeke, stand your ground!

We'll be back, you old hag!

Make no mistake about it!

(screams)

(pensive music)

- [Sara] And Felix didn't want me on his team

because I can't skate.

- Here.

Take these.

Felicity's grown out of them now, but they're like new.

- Aunt Janet, I don't know if I can

even begin to learn how.

- Nonsense!

Anyone can learn!

You just give it a try!

We don't want you left out of things.

- Thank you.

- I honestly can't understand why you're so upset, Sara.

- I suppose you wouldn't be if you were humiliated

in front of the entire class!

- Well, I must admit, I, myself,

have never been in that situation.

- [Sara] What is it, Aunt Janet?

- It was a healthy kick.

- I can't wait for the new baby to come.

Sing to it and cuddle it.

- There's a lot more to babies than just

singing and cuddling, Sara.

But of course, how could you possible ever know?

You're an only child.

I am an expert on babies.

I helped raise both Cecily and Felix.

I'll be indispensable to you, mother.

- Well, I hope so, dear.

I'll need all the help I can get.

- If Rupert Gillis says that I skate like a girl

one more time I'll belt him!

- Rupert Gillis sounds like a chip off the old block to me.

His father wouldn't win any popularity contest around here.

You missed lots of talk in town today, dear.

Archie Gillis is strip-cutting timber

within a mile of Avonlea.

- He can't do that!

- Oh, he's doing it.

He almost knocked Peg Bowen's house down on the process.

Apparently, she put a curse on him and his men.

- Well, I hope she has.

Not that I believe in that sort of thing, of course.

- Nor do I.

The fact that Zeke Sloane fell of his barn roof

and Jeb Ryan broke his ankle this afternoon

had nothing to do with it.

Archie Gillis and the Avonlea Avengers are two men short.

- Really?

That's the best news I've had all day.

- Felix!

- They haven't had an opening all season.

It means we actually have a chance to get on the team!

- I don't see why you would want to.

If Mr Gillis is anything like his son

I wouldn't play on the team even if I could.

- You're just saying that 'cause you can't play.

- Who's side are you on, Felix?

Better be going.

Aunt Olivia probably has dinner ready.

- Oh, dear, don't forget your skates!

- Oh.

Thank you.

- Come here, boy.

(laughs)

- Hey!

You man enough to play for the Avengers?

- [Boy] The Avengers?

I'll play.

- Stand in here, lad.

You'll do.

Two o'clock Saturday.

- [Kid] All right, see you there.

- King pond.

Oh, you're fine.

King pond, be on time.

Who's next?

That's fine.

Next!

Next!

I need two more players for the Avengers!

Step in here, boy.

- [Rupert] Nice try, King.

- Nope, sorry.

- Tough luck, you little runt!

- You porker, Rupert Gillis! Forget it, Felix.

He'll make mince meat out of you.

- Just wait, Gillis! Come on, King!

- Who's next?

- Good evening, all.

Nasty night, isn't it?

Men only?

But, the Avonlea team has always been open to all the boys.

Why narrow it down quite so much, Mister.

- Gillis.

Archie Gillis.

- Ms Stacey.

Hello.

- The Gillis sawmill is proud to sponsor

the Avonlea Avengers and I'm proud to coach them.

There's no place on the ice for children.

Hockey's a man's game.

- Men only?

You got to be a man to recognize one.

A curse on you and your team, Archie Gillis.

- Good night, then.

- [Rupert] Crazy old woman.

- Who's next?

I need two more players for the Avengers!

- [Felix] They kick us off the pond for their dumb tryouts.

- [Andrew] And they won't even give us a chance.

- [Peter] Yeah, it's not fair.

- Well, don't just bellyache about it.

You got to stand on your on two feet

if you want something badly enough.

Go on and ask him to reconsider.

Go on.

- [Mr Gillis] Pass the puck through the middle!

- [Alec] What about you, Jasper?

You gonna give a try?

- [Mr Gillis] That's it!

Don't back in towards the goal.

- Mr Gillis?

Mr Gillis, I realize that I might not be good enough

to be on your team--

- He is so!

He's the best player on the school!

- Well, what I'm trying to say is,

can I at least have chance to tryout?

- Could we all have a chance to tryout?

- You taller than the mark?

- No, sir.

- Then you can't try out.

You saw the rules.

Keep your eye on the puck!

- [Andrew] Come on, Felix.

He's not going to let us try.

- [Felix] I bet Rupert makes the Avengers.

- Archie.

Surely, you could give the boys a break.

They're really quite good you know, even if you

turn them down, at least they'd feel the had a fair chance.

- Just because you used to play for the Avengers

doesn't make you a coach, Alec King.

Doesn't mean I have to do you any favors either.

All right!

What are you waiting around for?

Let's get on the ice!

Hey!

- [Olivia] You are going to try out, aren't you, Jasper?

- [Jasper] I suppose.

Sorry, Sara.

- Pass the puck through the middle!

(groans)

You call that skating?

Next!

Show them how it's done, Rupert!

- Well.

I suppose I might as well, um.

Give it a whirl.

- That's it, lad!

Shoot, well done!

That's my boy!

You're on!

You made the team, son!

You!

In the long coat!

Lets see you skate.

- [Jasper] Right you are.

Here I go.

(screams)

I'm all right.

- Get in goal!

Let's see how you do there.

- [Jasper] Yup, good idea.

Right.

Ready!

Go for it!

- Hopeless!

Next!

- Yup, yup.

Thank you, thank you.

They're fast.

(laughs)

(clears throat)

- You here for the tryouts?

- [Man] Yeah.

- Don't waste my time then.

Go out and show me what you can do.

- [Man] All right.

(tranquil music)

- [Alec] Felix, who is that fella?

- Now, that is a hockey player!

We got our man!

Come here!

That was one heck of a move there.

I got a place for you on my team.

(laughs)

- So.

You want me on your team, do ya, Archie Gillis?

Thought you said it was a man's game.

No place for children or women.

You're not only a destroyer of nature,

you're also a bloody hypocrite!

(laughs)

- Someone can probably put a good team from all

the people you've eliminated, Archie.

- Then, why don't you go ahead and do it, Alec King?

That way you can have all the misfits you want on it.

- I wouldn't call boys who are a quarter of an inch

shorter than some arbitrary mark on some poster misfits.

- I don't care what you call them!

Go ahead!

Start your own team!

- [Felix] Come on, Father.

We can do it.

- [Andrew] We'll show them, Uncle Alec.

- All right.

I will.

You're on.

- Hey, Archie, are you so sure

the Avengers could beat any other team?

- Dead sure.

We haven't lost a game yet.

- In that case.

Maybe you'd like to make a little wager with me.

If the Misfits, as you call us, were to win,

would you promise to honor the previous

cutting limits around Avonlea?

- And when I win?

- You can cut anywhere you please.

- It's a bargain.

- All right.

Name the day.

- A week tomorrow.

Or do you need longer?

- A week tomorrow is fine.

You better get to work, Archie.

You're going to need someone to replace Mr Peg Bowen.

(laughs)

- [Mr Gillis] All right, let's go.

- Alec?

Do you ever think we're too old to be parents again?

- It's a bit late to be asking me that question, isn't it?

Isn't that the water you're um, soaking Felix's shirt in?

- Mhm. Mhm.

ASo, why are you putting potatoes in it?

- Well, they have to boil, Alec!

- Ah!

- Oh, my goodness!

(laughs)

- You've been so confident and self-contained lately,

it's a relief to see you do that!

(laughs)

- Mother, what are you doing?

- Oh, Felicity!

Oh!

Would you please take the cradle and move it out

of the kitchen into the shed, dear?

Because it's bad luck to have all these baby things

in the house before the baby is even born.

- What's the matter with--

- Uh-uh.

Don't worry about that.

Lets just do what your mother wants.

She's entitled to some mood swings.

(bright music)

- All right!

- It's Muriel Stacey!

Get rid of her!

- No!

- Get rid of her!

- Hetty!

- Go!

- Oh, Ms Stacey!

- Hello, Olivia.

Is, is Hetty about?

I'd like just a few minutes of her time.

- [Olivia] Oh, I don't think she is.

I think she went out.

- [Muriel] Oh, well.

- [Hetty] Blast!

- She must've returned.

Please come in.

- Thank you.

(clears throat)

- [Hetty] Muriel!

- Good afternoon, Hetty.

- Oh, I suppose you're here to check up

on what progress has been made on that new policy of yours.

Oh, I think you can report to your supervisor that

no progress has been made at the the Avonlea Public School

as far as intramural sports are concerned.

And if I'm allowed to continue my classes in my own fashion,

as I have successfully done for the past 20 odd years,

I assure you there'll be no progress made on that score

in the future, either.

- I had heard that since my last visit to Avonlea

you and your family had become quite involved

in competitive sports.

I had hope that you'd had a change of heart.

- That was my brother's doing not mine!

No, no.

There'll be no change of heart on my part, Muriel Stacey.

You can count on that.

Excuse me.

- I understand how excited Felix and Andrew are,

but, Alec, you just can't make a team up of children

and pit them against Archie Gillis and his hulks.

Felix would be flattened by some of those players.

- It's not all children.

Jasper's on the team.

Well, I mean, what they lack in experience,

they'll make up for in heart.

Besides, Peg Bowen is going to be a great help.

- Oh, yes!

Peg, I forgot.

She's such a team player.

- Janet!

- Alec, it's not just that.

Dr Blair said that I'm close to my time

and you're going to be all involved and,

and you won't be around very much and what if.

(door knocks)

- Alec!

How dare you put us in the position of having to defend

the honor of the King family name in such a shoddy fashion!

- Now, slow down, Hetty!

What do you mean the King name?

- Oh, you accepted that ridiculous challenge

I heard, the whole town knows it and now you're

the laughing stock, I may add!

- Well, there's a lot more at stake than that!

You know what that Gillis fellow was up to!

I mean, before long there won't be a tree left

in the village!

- A tree?

- Wait!

Alec, keep your voices down, you'll wake the children.

- Competitive sports?

It's not enough I have that Stacey woman

breathing down my neck in my own classroom.

Promoting the most uncivilized behavior

amongst children I have ever witnessed,

I have to face it amongst my own kin!

- Hetty!

Certainly no one in this house has ever put

the King name to shame!

And besides, I think Alec could make a wonderful coach.

He can do anything he sets his mind to.

- Let it be known I couldn't count on you

to talk sense to him, Janet.

Alec, I warn you.

Whatever this team you put together is,

better be a darn good one.

Because, trees or no trees, the very reputation

of this family now depends on it.

- All I need is a couple of strong skaters--

- What you need is a miracle.

- [Felix] Over here.

Over here, Peg.

Peg, over here!

I got it!

- No, Felix. I got it!

- [Andrew] Felix, go, go!

Felix, I'm over here!

Pass it!

- Position!

Position!

- [Felix] Come on, come on!

- [Boy] Andrew, I'm open!

Over here, over here!

- [Peg] Andrew, pass it off to Felix!

- Keep your eye on the puck!

Andrew, we know you're a fast skater, but there's no need

to keep the puck all to yourself!

You have to learn to pass!

We have to play as a team!

Now let's try that again!

- Uncle Alec?

Please, can I be on the team?

I've been practicing hard and I want to do my part

to uphold the King family name.

- You've been listening to your Aunt Hetty, huh?

- Please?

- Sara, thank you for wanting to help.

But I can't throw you in the ice with the Avengers.

They play to rough.

And besides, I got my seven players now.

- I wanted to help.

- All right.

I'll tell you what.

You can be a sub.

You practice, you work, you learn and if anyone

gets injured or are too tired to play then you

fill in for them, all right?

- Uncle Alec, thank you!

I promise you, you won't be sorry.

- You let Sara play on the team?

She can't even skate!

Now we'll never have a chance of winning!

- Felix!

- Ah, it's you, Felix.

For a moment there I thought you were Rupert Gillis!

Come on, Sara.

Let's work on your skating.

- What a bunch!

I've seen trained bears play better.

Sure you don't want to call it off now

and save everybody some time?

- Not a chance, Archie, not a chance.

- Suit yourself.

- [Dr Blair] Anyone home?

- [Janet] In here!

- [Dr Blair] Janet!

- Oh, my goodness!

I'd forgotten all about our appointment.

Is it really Tuesday already?

- It, it's Wednesday.

Our appointment was for Wednesday.

- Oh, yes, of course.

Here, would you take these here for me, please.

- Janet, you should be taking it easy.

You're too close to your time to be teetering

on top on a step-ladder!

- Really, Dr Blair, you worry too much.

I've had three babies already with no problem at all.

- It's nine years since you had your last baby

and you may have forgotten what a difficult time you had,

but I haven't.

You must rest more.

I don't want this baby to arrive too early.

- Well, it can't arrive until the entire house

is clean and that's all there's to it!

- I admire your spirit, Janet.

But I'm serious.

You're not as young you were when you had Cecily.

- (laughs) I feel wonderful!

In fact, I feel even younger now than I did then!

- Your body knows how old you are.

- Peter!

You're not the only one on the ice!

Quit hogging the puck!

- I'm not!

You're just not fast enough to keep up with me!

Andrew is the who's not passing it!

- [Felix] I got it, I got it!

(groans)

- Felix!

That's enough!

- [Felix] For crying out aloud, Sara!

Get out of the way!

- [Alec] No more of that, Felix!

- My father just let you on the team

because he felt sorry for you.

- [Sara] It's not true.

- It's a good luck you're just a sub,

means you never get to play!

- [Andrew] Felix, leave her alone.

She's on our team now.

- Quit bossing me around, Andrew!

- Sara, you were doing fine.

- [Sara] It's no use.

They don't want me on the team!

- Sara, don't pay attention to them!

All right, everyone, come on over here!

Now, look!

Let's get off our high-horses here, shall we?

I mean, I want to win this game as much as you do,

but the important thing is, the we play as a team

and we have a good time!

We've got to pull together.

Now, are you with me?

- Yes!

Sorry.

- [Alec] You all right, Jasper?

- Yeah.

Hat.

- Are you with me?

Well, are you with me?

- [Both] We're with you.

- [Alec] Felix?

- Yes, sir.

- Good.

Let's work on our defense a little.

Something tells me we're going to have more need of it

than the old defense.

(groans)

(laughs)

- [Andrew] Uncle Alec, are you all right?

- [Peg] Let me see, now!

Stand back!

- I think I sprained my back.

You better get me back up the house.

(melancholic music)

(sobs)

- Aunt Janet?

- Oh!

Sara, I didn't hear you come in.

- You may as well take these skates back.

Maybe Cecily can use them.

- Why don't you keep them?

- I don't want to skate!

There's no point!

- That's not the spirit I'm used to seeing in you.

- They don't want me on the team anyway.

They're all being so horrible.

Everyone says such mean things.

- Well, you just can't listen to what everyone says.

That's all.

If you did, you wouldn't know if you were coming of going.

You've got to believe in yourself.

- I'm not confident like you!

- (laughs) Sara!

If you only knew.

- Aunt Janet, what's wrong?

- I'm a fine one to be giving advise.

I don't have a confident bone in my body.

I'm so worried!

- About what?

- Everything!

I haven't given birth in nearly 10 years!

I'm so scared!

- You'll be fine.

- Taking care of an infant again.

I think I've forgotten how!

- You haven't!

- I could barely look after the three I've already got.

- Don't be silly!

You're a wonderful mother!

- Do you really think so?

- Of course!

You're the best!

You'll have lots of help.

Uncle Alec is a wonderful father.

And Felicity will give you all the help

you need with the baby.

- Thank you, Sara.

You've no idea how I needed to hear these things.

Now.

Enough of this.

Let's you and I stop feeling sorry for ourselves.

Well, come on, let's get back to the pond!

- Mother!

Mother, come quick!

Father's hurt himself!

- Oh, dear Lord!

Oh, Alec!

- Hello, dear.

- Oh, Olivia, Dr Blair says Alec could be laid up for weeks.

Oh.

Oh what dreadful news!

- Oh, don't worry, Hetty, please.

Alec will be all right.

He just needs best rest.

- And how will that help us?

The game is coming up soon, you know.

- Hetty, you mean you still want this game to be played?

- Olivia, have you completely lost your senses?

Of course the blasted game still has to be played!

We'll be the laughing stock of the entire village

if we don't.

- Well, there's just one thing to be done then.

Ms Stacey is still in town.

You'll just have to go and see her and ask her

to consider taking over as coach of our team.

- Muriel Stacey?

- Well, you did say that her team has done

awfully well in Charlottetown.

- Over my dead body!

I'd not ask a favor of that woman

if my very life depended on it.

- [Sara] Ow!

It's no use!

- [Peg] You look like you could use some help.

- Ms Bowen, I'll never learn how to skate.

I'm just hopeless.

- [Peg] Well, maybe you're right and maybe you're wrong.

You'll have to practice some more to find out.

- I'll never learn how to skate in time for the game.

I really want to be on the team.

- There's a lot more resting on your horizon,

Sara Stanley, than a hockey game.

- But, it's really important to me.

I just want to show those dreadful Gillis's.

- Don't you be bothering about that.

There's ways and means of showing people up

for what they really are.

And in most cases they reveal themselves.

- Can you teach me?

- Aye!

But, time is of the essence.

It seems to me, you could learn something

even if you aren't a crack skater.

Now, stand there.

Don't move and wait until I get to you.

- What do I do now?

- Hit it!

That's all you have to do!

- So, Muriel.

You see we're in a bit of a bind.

I was wondering if, we could call on you to,

to do us the favor of helping out.

- I don't see how that's possible, Hetty.

I, I'm leaving Avonlea in the morning.

- Please.

Please, Muriel!

For the sake of the King name.

I mean, for the sake of the team.

- I'm sorry, I don't see--

- But, for the sake of the trees?

Could you help us?

Please?

- Very well, Hetty.

I will stay and take Alec's place as coach.

- Thank you.

- On one condition.

That you will promise your future support

for an intramural sports program in your school.

- Well, I, I hardly think that the one

has anything to do with the other.

- And in that case, Hetty.

There is nothing further to be said.

- All right.

All right.

It's a bargain.

If you win.

- I think that's a safe wager, Hetty.

You see, um.

I have a little card up my sleeve.

Just, waiting to be played.

- [Man With Brown Hat] It's 10 to one for Archie Gillis

and the Avonlea Avengers.

What are you in for?

- [Man With Black Hat] I always go in for the dark horse.

Put me in for Alec King.

- [Woman] Believe me, I hope he wins too.

I looked out the window yesterday.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

That Gillis man has cleared nearly an acre of woods

behind my property.

Now that's a crime!

It really is!

- [Man With Brown Hat] Ah, Reverend,

would you like to ante up?

- I don't think so, gentlemen.

He might not like it.

- Don't worry, ladies.

We'll manage somehow.

- [Hetty] Ah!

Good morning, Archie.

- I was so sad to hear about Alec's little accident.

Why don't you just concede defeat right now?

Save us all a little bit of grief!

- Oh, hardly, Mr Gillis.

- It is you who should concede defeat, my man, not us.

May I introduce Ms Muriel Stacey.

Coach for the Charlottetown Cannonballs

and she's agreed most graciously to take over for Alec.

- A woman coach?

- Mr Gillis and I have already met, Hetty.

You see, sir, hockey is not just a game for men.

- Certainly not.

- We'll see about that on the ice.

Come on, men.

Let's get laced up.

- Well, I hope whatever it is you have up your sleeve,

Muriel, it will stand us in good stead today.

- I'm sure it will, Hetty.

- Reverend, do you still want the new roof

for the church, don't you?

Bet on the Misfits.

Miracles do happen, you know.

Olivia!

- After all, it's Your roof.

(whistle blows)

- Ha!

I can't tell the difference between the boys

and the girls on your team.

- Come on, Misfits!

You can do it!

- Go, Misfits!

- Good for you, Andrew!

Take that puck, you show them!

- Take your time, Andrew! Pass it here, Andrew!

- Take your time! Go after him!

- [Muriel] Felix, get in to position!

- [Felicity] Felix, watch out behind!

(groans)

- That's my boy!

- Abner Jefferies!

Didn't you see that?

Where are your eyes?

You big baboon!

- Oh, my wrist!

Mother, I sprained my wrist!

- [Janet] Felix.

- [Hetty] Jasper, are you blind?

- That's it, Avengers!

- [Abner] Avengers one, Misfits nothing!

- Let me see it!

- [Abner] Hurry, fellas, line up here.

- Come on, team!

If we pull together we can still win!

- Misfits!

- I thought sportsmanship was more

important than winning!

- Of course it is, Felix, of course it is.

Come on, Peter!

You can do it!

- [Sara] Good stop, Mr Dale!

- [Hetty] Skate, Peter!

Pass it up to Andrew!

- [Mr Gillis] After him, men!

- [Hetty] That was tripping, you blind oaf!

Whose side are you on?

- That's my boy!

- Oh, Hetty, I think I'll go up to see Alec.

- [Abner] Two nothing for the Avengers!

- Oh. Oh dear!

I'll go bring down some hot cocoa.

- What?

Oh, yes, yes, Janet.

Yes, of course.

Give our best to Alec.

- Yes!

- [Mr Gillis] All right, back here, team.

Everyone line up!

- So, where is that card you said

you had up your sleeve?

- Believe me, Hetty, I wish I knew.

- We can't win if we're a player short.

- Ms Stacey?

Could I play?

Peg's been helping me.

- Why not!

- Thank you!

- Sara.

Now, Sara, Sara, be careful now.

- [Felix] Now we're really in trouble.

- Pass it, Peter! Over here!

- Go get her, boy!

Go after her!

(crowd cheers)

- [Abner] The Avengers now lead two to one over the Misfits!

- Hurray for Sara!

- Good for you, Sara!

- [Sara] I scraped my knee, Aunt Hetty.

- Well done!

- Let me see, let me.

- Lucky break.

- Thank you, Felix.

- Janet's back at the house.

She'll see you, if you want.

Now, careful.

(whistle blows)

- Oh!

- Alec, they're doing the best they can,

dearest, so stop worrying.

- I can't sit up, I can't lie down.

Never felt so helpless in all my life.

- Alec.

I think.

I think it's time.

- Good Lord!

(groans)

(chuckles)

- Go after him, Peter! Stand down, Jasper!

No, no, lie down!

(crowd cheers)

Good save, Jasper.

Olivia, Olivia!

Such a display!

- Well done, Jasper!

(whistle blows)

- [Abner] Half-time, teams!

Good stop, Jasper!

- Uncle Alec!

Aunt Janet, guess what, I scored a goal!

- Oh, Sara, thank goodness!

- Sara, run quickly and get Dr Blair.

- Aunt Janet, you're not!

Oh, my!

- Oh, Sara, don't go, don't leave me alone!

- You're not alone, dear.

I'm here.

- Oh, Alec, how can you help me?

You can barely move!

- Look, I'll be fine!

And, Sara, quick, run!

- No, no, Sara!

Its too late!

- All we need are two more goals to win!

And I know that you can do it!

- It's no use!

They're just stronger than we are!

- Hetty King!

There's my card!

Welcome, ladies!

Welcome!

- You can't mean they're going to play too?

It isn't fair.

It's against the rules!

- You told us to make up a team and we have!

Or are you afraid?

- Afraid?

You're in a sorry state when you have to recruit more women.

- See you on the ice, Archie!

- [All] M-I-S-F-I-T-S!

Misfits!

- Mother, do you need any help with the cocoa?

Mother?

Father, what are you doing?

- Thank goodness!

You know more about babies than I do.

- Babies?

- [Sara] Yes!

- Felicity, your mother is having a baby.

- She's upstairs in bed.

I made her as comfortable as I could.

Now, you stay here in case anything happens

and I'll fetch Dr Blair.

Felicity!

Wake up!

Wake up!

(screams)

- [Janet] Sara!

Now!

- [Sara] Excuse me, Uncle Alec.

- [Janet] Alec!

- [Man] Go Misfits!

- [Hetty] That's it, girls, you show them!

- Get going you bunch of lily-livereds sapsuckers!

Start playing!

- [Alec] Sara, Janet.

I'm coming!

- Sara, you made sure everything is sterilized?

- I, I think so.

What do you want me to do?

What can I do?

- You're doing just fine!

(groans)

- How can I help you?

You're in pain!

- Oh, Sara, everything is fine!

This is normal!

- Normal?

(groans)

Felicity, thank goodness you're awake!

Well, you know more about this than I do!

I, I don't anything about this.

Felicity, don't!

(crowd cheers)

(groans)

Janet, it's a boy!

It's a boy!

(baby cries)

- Go for it, boys, go for it!

- [Muriel] Jasper, come out of the net, Jasper!

(crowd cheers)

- [Mr Gillis] Don't just stand there, help him out!

(whistle blows)

- One!

(crowd cheers)

- [Abner] Misfits three, Avengers two!

(laughs)

- We won!

- [Muriel] Well done team.

- You won.

Fair and square.

I hate to admit it.

But, you did.

- I hope you remember your bargain, Archie.

- I'm not a man to go back on my word.

I won't touch the trees anywhere near your house

or the town of Avonlea.

(crowd cheers)

- You didn't do so bad.

I could still give you a few pointers.

Ow!

(laughs)

- Come on, everyone!

Come back to King farm!

My mother won't mind!

- [Hetty] Yes, come on, come on!

- That's your luck, Rev.

- Thank you, Mr Biggins.

- [Janet] Oh, Sara, let me see him.

- He's so little!

He is so beautiful!

- Janet, Sara.

Oh, my God!

- [Janet] Oh, Alec, a little boy!

- Are you all right?

- Oh, Alec!

- You really are something, Janet King.

(baby cries)

So are you, Sara Stanley.

- Mother?

- It's all right, Felicity.

You have a baby brother.

- [All] M-I-S-F-I-T-S!

Misfits!

- It turns out we really didn't need

your Charlottetown players after all, Muriel.

- Yes, but, I did keep my end of the bargain, Hetty.

As I'm sure you will yours.

(laughs)

- [All] M-I-S.

- Father!

Mother!

Guess what, we've just won!

Where's mother?

- The baby!

It's a boy!

- Holy Dinah!
