(music)

WHERE IS SLEEP?

"OVER THE MOUNTAINS
OF THE MOON,

DOWN THE VALLEY
OF THE SHADOW,

'NEATH THE WAVES OF
THE DEEP GULF STREAM,"

REPLIED THE HANDSOME DUKE

IN DARK,

LANGUID TONES.

(music)

IN DARK...

LANGUID TONES.

DARK, FOREBODING...

FOREBODING TONES.

HE FERVENTLY STROKED
HER ALABASTER BROW,

AND SHE FELL UNDER
HIS CLOAK OF DARKNESS.

[ Sigh ]

(music)

[Quiet chatter ]

MORGAN, LOOK.

DO YOU THINK
SHE NEEDS HELP?

(music)

ARE YOU A...

A JOURNALIST?

NO, A TEACHER.

NO, I'M A WRITER.

ACTUALLY I WRITE BOOKS.

OH. BOOKS.

BOOKS.

I HOPE NOTHING'S
SPOILED, OR MISSING.

DOESN'T MATTER. I
KEEP IT ALL FILED AWAY

IN MY IMAGI-
NATION ANYWAY.

MORGAN.

MORGAN, WE'LL
BE LATE FOR
OUR LUNCHEON.

THANK YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

(music)

Children:
(singing) NO MORE PENCILS,
NO MORE BOOKS, (singing)

(singing) NO MORE TEACHER'S
DIRTY LOOKS (singing)

[ Mixed chatter ]

BYE, BARBARA SHAW.

DON'T FORGET
YOUR LUNCH PAIL.

Girl:
BYE, SHIRLEY.
BYE.

BYE, JACOB.

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR
JOB AT THE SMITHY.

Children:
GOODBYE, MISS SHIRLEY.

!
GOODBYE,
MISS SHIRLEY.
BYE-BYE.

GOODBYE, MISS SHIRLEY,
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

GOODBYE,
MISS SHIRLEY.
GOODBYE,
MINNIE MAY.

GOOD BYE,
MISS SHIRLEY.

[ Sigh ]

IS THAT HOW
YOU SMOKE IT?

DON'T YOU
KNOW ANYTHING?

YOU GOTTA LICK
IT TO MAKE THE
PAPER STICK.

[ Blowing raspberry]

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

MY MAMA SAYS SMOKING
MAKES YOUR MOUTH BROWN

AND YOUR EARS STICK OUT.

YOUR MOTHER'S
AN OLD WINDBAG.

NO SHE IS NOT.

I'M GOING TO TELL
MISS SHIRLEY YOU
TWO HAVE BEEN SMOKING.

YOU DO AND I'LL
LOCK YOU UP AND
SIC MY DOG ON YOU.

WILL NOT. YOU
CAN'T CATCH ME.

[ Blowing raspberry]

HELP!
LET'S SEE HOW
YOU LIKE BEING
LOCKED UP,

YOU LITTLE
TATTLETALE.

LET ME GO!
LET ME GO!

I'M GONNA TELL
ON YOU TWO.

LET ME GO. I'M
GONNA TELL ON YOU TWO.

YOU TWO ARE
BAD BOYS. I'M
GONNA TELL...

SEE HOW YOU
LIKE THAT, YOU
LITTLE TATTLETALE.

YEAH, AND WE'RE
GONNA SIC HIS
DOG ON YOU

IF YOU SAY
ANYTHING.

[ Banging on door]
HELP!

[ Sigh ]

[ Banging on door]

Minnie May:
[Wailing ]

I WANT OUT!
[ Sobbing ]

WHY, MINNIE MAY!

ANTHONY PYE
AND TOMMY BELL
LOCKED ME IN

'CAUSE I WAS GOING
TO TELL ON THOSE TWO.

THEY WERE
SMOKING CIGARETTES.

AND ANTHONY'S GONNA
SIC HIS WATCHDOG ON ME.

HE'LL DO NO SUCH THING.

NOW YOU RUN ALONG.
YOUR MOTHER WILL BE
WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE.

ALL RIGHT,
MISS SHIRLEY.

[Twittering of birds ]

OH, GOOD DAY,
MISS SHIRLEY.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
MR. PYE.

MUST BE GLAD
SCHOOL'S OUT.

I HOPE MY ANTHONY
BEHAVED HIMSELF
THIS YEAR.

ANTHONY'S GRADES
HAVE BEEN QUITE GOOD.

AND HE IS WELL-
LIKED BY EVERYONE.

I UNDERSTAND FROM
MINNIE MAY BARRY,

YOU HAVE AN EXCELLENT
WATCHDOG LOOKING OUT
FOR YOU, ANTHONY.

OH, AND
THAT'S A FACT.

NO FOXES AROUND OUR
CHICKEN COOP THIS
YEAR, MISS SHIRLEY.

[Chuckle ]
A FINER WATCHDOG
YOU'LL NEVER SEE.

SO MINNIE MAY
WAS JUST
TELLING ME.

OH, AND THANK YOU,
ANTHONY, FOR VOLUN-
TEERING WITH TOMMY

TO WHITEWASH THE
OUTHOUSE FOR ME
NEXT MONDAY.

I HEAR YOU TWO
ARE EXCELLENT
PAINTERS.

I'LL BE SEEING YOU
THEN, MONDAY MORNING
AT 9:00 O'CLOCK.

GOOD DAY.

YOU'RE OFF TO DO
SOME PAINTING THEN,
ANTHONY, ARE YOU?

(music)

I'M SORRY. I
KNOW YOU'RE CLOSED,
MRS. HARRISON,

BUT I PROMISED MARILLA
I'D PICK UP THE MAIL
IN TOWN TODAY.

THE POSTMAN, HE
LEFT A REGISTERED
CARD IN OUR BOX
YESTERDAY.

LUCKY YOU
CAUGHT US,
ANNE SHIRLEY.

DON'T KNOW IF
I'VE SEEN ANYTHING
COME THROUGH
TODAY THOUGH.

NO. NO, MA'AM,
NOTHING FOR GREEN GABLES.

BUT I HAVE A REGISTERED
CARD, MRS. SLOANE.

OH. JUST A
MINUTE NOW.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

I REMEMBER ONE OF
THEM BIG MANILA ENVELOPES

THAT YOU'VE
BEEN SENDING
OUT RECENTLY

DID COME BACK
YESTERDAY,

REGISTERED MAIL.

THAT IS RIGHT.
LET'S SEE.

RIGHT! YES,
HERE IT IS
HERE. NOW...

CAN'T SEE A THING
WITHOUT MY GLASSES.

GOT YOUR NAME
ON IT ALL RIGHT.

CURTIS PUBLISHING
COMPANY, BOSTON.

AIN'T THEY
MAGAZINE PEOPLE?

MUST BE A COMPLIMENTARY
SUBSCRIPTION OR SOME
SUCH NUISANCE.

THANKS SO MUCH
FOR LETTING ME IN.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
MRS. HARRISON,
MRS. SLOANE.

[Jingling of door bell ]

[ Running footsteps ]

SO!
AH!

THIS IS WHY
YOU KEEP DISAP-
PEARING ON ME

EVERY TIME I PLAN
TO PICK YOU UP
AFTER SCHOOL.

GILBERT BLYTHE!

ALL THIS SECRECY.

YOU NEVER HAVE
TIME TO SPEAK TO
YOUR FRIENDS ANY MORE.

OH, YOU GIVE THAT
BACK OR I WON'T
SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN.

WELL, IF YOU'RE
GOING TO BE SO
TOUCHY.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE
THINK YOU'VE
BEEN ACTING VERY
PECULIARLY LATELY,

AND I MIGHT AS
WELL TELL YOU SO.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
SHOW UP AT THE
CARMODY SPRING FESTIVAL?

I SAVED A SPOT
FOR YOU AT OUR
TABLE.

I WAS BUSY. I
WAS TRYING TO GET
MY FINALS MARKED.

ANNE, YOU HAD YOUR
FINALS MARKED AND
POED WITH THE
BOARD BEFORE I DID.

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

NOTHING!

THIS IS A COMPLETE-
LY PERSONAL MATTER.

I SUPPOSE IT MUST
BE IF YOU CAN'T KEEP
YOUR WORD ANY MORE.

GOOD GRIEF!

YOU KNOW HOW TO
TRY ONE'S PATIENCE,
DON'T YOU?

(music)

Gil:
DON'T GET UP ON
YOUR HIGH HORSE
WITH ME, ANNE SHIRLEY.

I CYCLED ALL THE
WAY FROM CARMODY TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING

I FOUND OUT ABOUT
DIANA BARRY TODAY.

YOU ARE A
REAL PILL,
GILBERT BLYTHE.

WHAT ABOUT
DIANA BARRY?

UH-UH, NOT
UNTIL YOU SPILL
THE BEANS.

YOU WON'T SAY
ANYTHING TO
YOUR FOLKS,

OR JANE ANDREWS,
OR CHARLIE SLOANE?

ON MY HONOUR.

AND YOU PROMISE
YOU WON'T EVER
TEASE ME ABOUT THIS?

I WOULDN'T RISK
YOUR ANGER.

DEAR MISS SHIRLEY:

WE REGRET TO RETURN
THE ENCLOSED MANUSCRIPT,
"AVERIL'S ATONEMENT",

BUT ARE UNABLE
TO ACCEPT IT FOR
PUBLICATION.

SINCERELY YOURS,

WOMAN'S HOME
JOURNAL MAGAZINE?

YOU KNOW THE
STORY I WROTE
THIS SPRING?

I'M ATTEMPTING TO
HAVE IT PUBLISHED.

[Gasp/chuckle ]

ANNE, THAT'S
TREMENDOUS!

[ Ringing of
bicycle bell ]
LISTEN TO THIS,
EVERYBODY,

AVONLEA'S PUBLIC
SCHOOLTEACHER,

SOON TO BECOME
WORLD FAMOUS
CANADIAN AUTHOR...

IT HASN'T
HAPPENED YET,
YOU FOOL.

AND DON'T YOU
DARE TELL ANYONE.

NOW WHAT'S ALL
THE FUSS ABOUT
DIANA BARRY?

WELL, FROM WHAT
I UNDERSTAND,

SHE'S GOING ON
AN EXTENDED VACATION
THIS SUMMER.

IS THAT ALL?

WHERE IS
SHE GOING?

YOU MEAN WITH
WHOM IS SHE GOING?

ALL RIGHT.
WITH WHOM THEN?

WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES IT MAKE?

FRED WRIGHT OBVI-
OUSLY MAKES A LOT
OF DIFFERENCE TO HER.

HE'S PROPOSED AND
DIANA HAS ACCEPTED.

PROPOSED?

CHARLIE SLOANE
FOUND OUT FROM
FRED HIMSELF.

ROLY-POLY FRED WRIGHT?

BUT THEY HARDLY
KNOW EACH OTHER.

OF ALL THE STUPID,
SENTIMENTAL THINGS
FOR DIANA TO DO.

I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW IT WAS
LIKE THIS.

SHE PROBABLY
ONLY ACCEPTED

BECAUSE FRED WAS
THE FIRST PERSON
TO EVER ASK HER.

DON'T BE SILLY.
FRED'S A TERRIFIC FELLOW.

WELL, HE BETTER
STEER CLEAR OF ME.

HE HAS NO BUSINESS
WALTZING IN,

STEALING MY BEST FRIEND.

YOU'RE NOT JEALOUS,
ARE YOU?

NO.

JUST DISAPPOINTED.

WHY DO PEOPLE
HAVE TO GROW UP...

AND MARRY... CHANGE.

OH, YOU'D CHANGE.

IF SOMEONE EVER ADMITTED
THAT THEY WERE HEAD
OVER HEELS FOR YOU,

YOU'D BE SWEPT OFF
YOUR FEET IN A MOMENT.

I WOULD NOT.

AND I DEFY ANYONE
WHO WOULD TRY AND
MAKE ME CHANGE.

YOU DO?

(music)

LAST ONE TO
THE BRIDGE IS A
STUFFED GOOSE.

[Chuckling ]

CHEATERS NEVER
PROSPER, ANNE SHIRLEY.

(music)

[ Barking of dog ]
Boy:
WATCH OUT, ROVER.

Gil:
WHOO!

YOU'VE GOT IT NOW,
MISS SHIRLEY.

Anne/Gil:
[ Laughing ]

[Clearing of throats ]

Anne:
OH, I'M SORRY,
DIANA.

SORRY, UM...

BUT GIL, HE'S...

HE FELL IN
THE BROOK AND...

WELL, THANK YOU
FOR THE LOVELY
WALK, DIANA.

Diana:
OH, PLEASE THANK
YOUR MOTHER FOR
THE CROCHETS.

MYRA GILLIS HAD
SHE GOT MARRIED,

AND I-I'M DETERMINED
TO HAVE AT LEAST
AS MANY AS SHE HAD.

I SUPPOSED IT
WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE

TO KEEP HOUSE WITH
ONLY 36 DOILIES.

BUT I ASSURE
YOU, MR. WRIGHT,

DIANA WILL BE THE
SWEETEST LITTLE
HOMEMAKER IN THE WORLD,

SO LONG AS YOU
CAN AFFORD TO LET
HER KEEP UP WITH
THE GILLISES.

WELL, I HOPE SO.

UH, GOOD DAY,
LADIES. GILBERT.

WELL, I BETTER GO
GET MY BICYCLE.

I'LL TALK TO
YOU LADIES LATER.

BYE.

[ Sigh ]
ANNE SHIRLEY...

THAT WAS...

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HUMIL-
IATED IN ALL MY LIFE.

THAT WAS THE MEANEST...

HOW COULD YOU MAKE
FUN OF ME IN PUBLIC?

DIANA...

I WASN'T MAKING FUN.

I WAS JUST TEASING.

I'M SORRY.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION

WHENEVER GILBERT BLYTHE
IS IN ANYONE'S COMPANY.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

PLEASE FORGIVE
ME, DIANA.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO
PICK A QUARREL.

[ Sigh ]

WHY COULDN'T YOU
HAVE TOLD ME
ABOUT YOU AND
FRED YOURSELF?

[ Sob/sniffle ]
I FEEL LIKE
I'VE LOST MY
BEST FRIEND.

YOU WERE... YOU
WERE SO BUSY,

WRITING YOUR
BOOK AND MARKING
EXAM PAPERS.

IT JUST HAPPENED.

[ Sniffling ]

AND HE ASKED ME...

[ Laugh ]

I'M REALLY HAPPY.

BUT IT DOES
SEEM RIDICULOUS

TO THINK OF ME
BEING ENGAGED TO
FRED, DOESN'T IT?

OH, I DON'T
CARE WHAT HE
LOOKS LIKE.

HE... HE'S GOT
A GOOD HEART.

HE'S SO THOUGHTFUL.

WE'LL PROBABLY
MAKE A PUDGY OLD
COUPLE SOME DAY,

BUT IT DOESN'T
MATTER.

I AM GLAD FOR
YOU, DIANA.

DON'T YOU EVER
MEAN TO GET
MARRIED?

PERHAPS, IF I
MEET THE RIGHT ONE.

WHAT ABOUT GILBERT?

GILBERT'S JUST
A CHUM.

I DON'T CARE FOR
HIM IN THAT WAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT MY
IDEAL IS, DIANA.

TALL, IRRESISTIBLY
HANDSOME,

PROUD AND
MELANCHOLIC.

BUT PEOPLE'S
IDEALS CHANGE
SOMETIMES.

MINE WOULDN'T.

I WOULDN'T CARE
FOR ANY MAN WHO
DIDN'T FULFILL THEM.

WHAT IF YOU
NEVER MEET HIM?

WELL, THEN I SHALL
DIE AN OLD MAID.

OH, I SUPPOSE
YOU'RE RIGHT TO
BE DISCRIMINATING.

HALF THE MEN
ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WILL BE COURTING YOU

WHEN YOUR STORY
IS PUBLISHED.

YOU'RE GOING TO
BE FAMOUS, AND
I'll BE SO PUD.

WHAT IS IT?

OH...

"WOMAN'S HOME JOURNAL"
SENT IT BACK.

WHAT?

WELL, THEIR EDITOR
MUST BE CRAZY.

WHAT REASON
DID HE GIVE?

NO REASON AT ALL,
JUST A PRINTED SLIP

SAYING IT WASN'T
ACCEPTABLE.

THAT'S RIDICULOUS!
THEY MUSTN'T
HAVE READ IT.

I'M GOING TO CANCEL
MY SUBSCRIPTION
IMMEDIATELY.

"AVERIL'S ATONEMENT."

IT SOUNDED SO
INSPIRING AND
ROMANTIC.

BUT YOU CAN TELL
ME TRUTHFULLY,
DIANA,

IF YOU RECALL
ANY MAJOR FAULTS
IN MY STORY.

[ Sigh ]
WELL...

T-THE PART WHERE...
WHERE AVERIL
MAKES THE CAKE...

DOESN'T... IT
DOESN'T SEEM TO
MATCH THE REST
OF THE STORY.

THAT'S ONE OF
THE MOST ROMANTIC
PARTS IN THE
WHOLE STORY.

IT'S A WELL-KNOWN
FACT THAT GREAT
LADIES OF OLD BELIEVED

THAT THE CULINARY
ARTS ALSO FED
THE SOUL.

WELL, I'LL HAVE
TO READ IT AGAIN

TO REMEMBER
WHAT MY FIRST
OPINION WAS.

IF YOU LET ME KEEP
IT, MAYBE I CAN
SUGGEST SOME CHANGES.

YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW DISCOURAGING
IT IS TO GET A
REJECTION, DIANA.

AND RIGHT WHEN
I'M IN THE MIDST
OF WRITING A NEW EPIC:

"ROSAMUND'S REVENGE."

THIS CERTAINLY
TAKES THE BLOOM
OFF THE ROSE.

[awling of cow]

DON'T BE
DISCOURAGED.
ANNE SHIRLEY!

I'M NOT GOING
TO PUT UP WITH
THIS A DAY LONGER.

I WARNED MARILLA
NOT TO LET IT
HAPPEN AGAIN.

WELL, IT HAS.

PATIENCE HAS CEASED
TO BE A VIRTUE.

I WANT THIS RUMPUS
STOPPED RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU COULD JUST
CALM DOWN AND
TELL ME WHAT
THE TROUBLE IS.

HAH! CALM DOWN.

FIRST IT WAS OUR POTATOES.
THEN MY JUNE LILIES,

WHICH THOMAS PLANTED
ON OUR 25th WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY.

NOW THIS DARN JERSEY
COW HAS DEVOURED ALMOST

ALL MY PRIZE-
WINNING CABBAGES.

AND IF TILLIE BOULTER
WALKS AWAY WITH

THE RED RIBBON AT THE
CHARLOTTETOWN EXHIBITION,

YOU CAN LET MARILLA
KNOW I AM HOLDING HER
FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.

I'M SORRY,
MRS. LYNDE, BECAUSE
DOLLY IS MY COW,
NOT MARILLA'S.

MATTHEW BOUGHT HER
FOR ME TWO YEARS
AGO AS A CALF
FROM MR. BELL.

SORRY! WELL, SORRY IS
NOT GOING TO HELP THE HAVOC

THIS ANIMAL HAS
MADE TRAMPLING
THROUGH MY CABBAGES.

AND IF YOU THINK...

I AM SORRY.

BUT THE FENCE
THAT SEPARATES
YOUR POTATO FIELD

FROM OUR PASTURE
IS AN EYESORE.

AND IF YOU KEPT
IT IN BETTER REPAIR,

DOLLY WOULDN'T
HAVE BROKEN IN.

A JAIL FENCE WOULDN'T
KEEP THAT DEVIL OUT.

AND WHAT'S MORE,
MY THOMAS HAS BEEN
FAR TOO ILL THE
PAST SIX MONTHS

TO REPAIR ANY FENCES.

AND I KNOW ONE THING,
YOU RED-HEADED SNIPPET,

YOU'D BE BETTER
EMPLOYED FIXING
THAT FENCE YOURSELF

RATHER THAN
MOONING AROUND,

WASTING YOUR TIME
WRITING FOR SOME
RUBBISHY MAGAZINE.

I WOULD RATHER
SPEND MY TIME
PROFITABLY,

THAN SQUANDER IT
IN IDLE GOSSIP,

MEDDLING IN
OTHER PEOPLE'S
AFFAIRS.

OH!

I WON'T CHERISH
ANY HARD FEELINGS
AGAINST YOU

BECAUSE OF YOUR
NARROW-MINDED
OPINIONS.

NO THANK
GOODNESS I HAVE
AN IMAGINATION

WHICH ALLOWS ME
TO UNDERSTAND

HOW IT MUST BE TO
FIND A COW AMONGST
PRIZE-WINNING CABBAGES.

DOLLY SHALL
NEVER BREAK INTO
YOUR FIELD AGAIN.

I GIVE YOU MY
WORD OF HONOUR

ON THAT POINT.
WELL!

YOU JUST
MAKE SURE

THAT SHE DOESN'T.

[ Bawling of cow]

WHOA. WHOA, WHOA.

WELL, MARILLA, I HOPE
THAT CANAL HORSE DESTROYS
YOUR TOMATO PATCH NEXT.

AND DON'T EXPECT
ANY SYMPATHY
FROM YOUR GIRL.

I'VE ALWAYS WARNED
YOU SHE HAD A TEMPER
TO MATCH HER HAIR.

[Thinking ]
OH, GOOD LORD.

[Clicking of tongue ]

SHE CAN'T POSSIBLY
GET OUT NOW

UNLESS SHE TEARS
THE FENCE DOWN.

I NEVER REALIZED
MRS. LYNDE WAS
SUCH A CRANK.

THERE'S CERTAINLY
NOTHING OF A
KINDRED SPIRIT IN HER.

(music)

YOU SET YOUR
HEART TOO MUCH ON
FRIVOLOUS THINGS,

AND THEN CRASH
DOWN INTO DESPAIR

WHEN YOU DON'T
GET THEM.
I KNOW.

I CAN'T HELP FLYING
UP ON THE WINGS
OF ANTICIPATION.

IT'S AS GLORIOUS
AS SOARING
THROUGH A SUNSET.

ALMOST PAYS FOR THE THUD.

WELL,
MAYBE IT DOES,

BUT I'D RATHER
WALK CALMLY ALONG,

AND DO WITHOUT BOTH
FLYING AND THUD.

[ Ringing of cow bells ]

Anne:
MARTIN'S FORGOTTEN
THE COWS ON
ORCHARD SLOPE.

I WAS AS POLITE
AS I COULD BE

UNDER THE CIRCUM-
STANCES, MARILLA.

AND I APOLOGIZED,

DESPITE HER
STINGING PERSONAL
REMARKS.

RACHEL SPECIALIZES
IN GETTING UNDER
PEOPLE'S SKIN, I KNOW,

BUT YOU OUGHT TO
HAVE BIT YOUR
TONGUE, ANNE,

SEEING AS WE
WERE IN THE WRONG.

NO, I OUGHT TO
HAVE SOLD DOLLY TO
GILBERT'S FATHER
A MONTH AGO

WHEN HE WANTED
TO BUY HER.

I THOUGHT IT
WAS JUST AS
WELL TO WAIT
TILL THE AUCTION,

AND LET ALL
THE STOCK GO
TOGETHER.

MARTIN, THERE ARE
TWO MORE COWS.

RACHEL WILL
GET OVER THIS.

HER NERVES HAVE
BEEN RAW LATELY,
AND DESERVEDLY SO.

THOMAS IS PRETTY BAD,
AND DR. SPENCER SAYS

THAT HE WON'T
BE WITH US
FOR LONG.

I HOPE SHE
DOESN'T HAVE TO
SELL HER FARM.

IT'D BE A
TERRIBLE LOSS.

AND I KNOW HOW
WE FELT WHEN
MATTHEW DIED.

ANNE, I'VE WANTED TO
TALK TO YOU ABOUT
SOMETHING FOR A WHILE.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN
CONTENT ENOUGH HERE,

BUT I NEVER
FEEL AT EASE,

THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU
HAVE GIVEN UP SO MUCH
OF YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITY.

MARILLA, I COULDN'T
LEAVE YOU ALONE HERE.

BESIDES, I'M...
I'D PROBABLY MAKE
A MUCH BETTER TEACHER

THAN A WRITER
ANY DAY.
ANNE...

YOU HAVE BEEN MY
COMFORT AND MY JOY

SINCE MATTHEW
PASSED AWAY.

BUT I PROMISED
MYSELF

WHEN YOU GAVE UP
THE AVERY SCHOLARSHIP
TO STAY HOME,

I'D MAKE IT UP TO
YOU ONE DAY.

I'VE NEVER BEEN
SORRY I'VE STAYED
FOR A MOMENT.

MR. BARRY HAS
REALLY TAKEN OVER
THE FARM ALMOST
COMPLETELY AND...

MY EYESIGHT
IS SO MUCH
BETTER NOW,

I CAN MANAGE
WITH MARTIN.

PERHAPS ONE OF
THE PICARD GIRLS
OVER IN RUSTICO

COULD...
BOARD WITH ME
FOR A WHILE,

SO YOU COULD
DUST OFF SOME OF
YOUR AMBITIONS
IF YOU LIKE.

WHAT DO YOU
THINK ABOUT THAT?

OH, MARILLA!

I FEEL AS THOUGH
SOMEONE'S HANDED
ME THE MOON,

AND I DON'T
EXACTLY KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH IT.

MATTHEW AND I
SPENT 40 YEARS
LOOKING AFTER PAPA.

PERHAPS I NEVER
MENTIONED IT
BEFORE, BUT...

I CAN'T HELP
BUT CONFESS,

IT WAS WITH A
REGRETFUL HEART
AT TIMES.

YOU HAD A LITTLE BIT OF ROMANCE
IN YOUR OWN LIFE, MARILLA.

YOU WOULDN'T THINK
IT TO LOOK AT
ME, WOULD YOU?

BUT YOU CAN NEVER TELL ABOUT
PEOPLE BY THEIR OUTSIDES.

DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT MR. BLYTHE
REMEMBERS THAT HE WAS YOUR BEAU?

STUFF AND
NONSENSE.
[Giggling ]

NO, NO. THAT'S
ENOUGH NOW.

NO MORE
FOOLISHNESS.

OH, IT SEEMS
SO FUNNY AND
HORRIBLE

TO THINK OF DIANA
MARRYING FRED,
DOESN'T IT?

WHAT IS SO
HORRIBLE ABOUT IT?

WELL, HE CERTAINLY ISN'T THE
WILD, DASHING YOUNG MAN

DIANA USED TO
WANT TO MARRY.

FRED IS...

EXTREMELY GOOD.

THAT IS EXACTLY
WHAT HE SHOULD BE.

WOULD YOU WANT TO
MARRY A WICKED MAN?

WELL, I WOULDN'T MARRY
ANYONE WHO WAS REALLY WICKED.

BUT I THINK I'D LIKE IT
IF HE COULD BE WICKED...

AND WOULDN'T.

(music)

YOU'LL HAVE
MORE SENSE
SOMEDAY, I HOPE.

I BELIEVE
ANNE SHIRLEY JUST
COPIED THAT STORY.

I AM SURE I
REMEMBER READING
IT IN A NEWSPAPER
YEARS AGO.

WELL, I'M SORRY
TO HEAR SHE'S
TAKEN TO WRITING
NOVELS AT ALL.

NOBODY BORN AND
BRED IN AVONLEA
WOULD DO IT.

BEEN WRITING
ANY MORE STORIES
LATELY, MISS SHIRLEY?

NO, MRS. HARRISON.

WELL, NO
OFFENSE MEANT.

MABEL SLOANE HERE SAYS SHE FOUND
ANOTHER ONE OF THEM BIG MANILA ENVELOPES

COME THROUGH HERE A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THAT'S ALL.

HMM, IT WAS
ADDRESSED TO THE

ROLLING RELIABLE BAKING
POWDER COMPANY IN MONTREAL.

I SUSPICIONED THAT SOMEBODY
WAS TRYING FOR THAT PRIZE

THAT THEY'RE OFFERING
FOR THE BEST STORY

INTRODUCING THEIR
NEW BAKING POWDER.

THE ADDRESS
WASN'T IN YOUR
HANDWRITING THOUGH.

I SHOULD HOPE NOT.

I'D NEVER DREAM OF COMPETING
FOR ANYTHING SO DISGRACEFUL.

IT WOULD ALMOST BE AS BAD AS
JAKE GRIFFITH'S CHATAGHUA SHOW.

BUT THEN THAT'S WHAT COMES OF
MARILLA CUTHBERT ADOPTING AN ORPHAN

FROM GOODNESS KNOWS
WHERE, OR WHAT KIND OF PARENTS.

OH!

WHY, ANNE,
CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU HAVE SUCH A WAY OF
PUTTING AVONLEA ON THE MAP.

WELL... THANK YOU.

BUT WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

CONGRATULATIONS FOR WHAT?

[ Sarcastic laugh ]
YOU WERE ALWAYS SUCH A TERRIBLE
FAKE AT MODESTY, ANNE,

EVEN DURING
PUBLIC SCHOOL.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING
FAKE ABOUT THE BUSINESS

LAWSON'S GENERAL
STORE INTENDS TO
DO FROM ALL THIS.

AND I THINK THAT
BLUE YOU'RE WEARING

IS SO DRAMATIC FOR
A YOUNG AUTHORESS.

YOU ALMOST LOOK
PRETTY IN IT.

[ Sarcastic chuckle]

DON'T SAY THINGS
YOU DON'T MEAN, JOSIE.

THAT ANNE SHIRLEY
IS SO SMUG.

THAT GIRL ALWAYS
DID GIVE HERSELF AIRS.

Boys:
CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS,
ANNE.

IT'S A WONDERFUL
STORY, ANNE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

WONDERFUL STORY,
ANNE.

YOU DESERVE
THE BEST.

Women:
CONGRATULATIONS.
CONGRATULATIONS,
MISS SHIRLEY.

CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR STORY, MISS SHIRLEY.

I REALLY LIKE THE
BIT ABOUT THE CAKE.

(music)

GREAT JEHOSHAPHAT!

[ Excited murmurs ]

ANNE SHIRLEY,
WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO TRACK YOU DOWN
EVERYWHERE.

OH, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, MAY I
PRESENT TO YOU

AVONLEA'S FAMOUS
AUTHORESS.

FATHER,
COME OUT HERE.

OH, MY GOODNESS,
MISS SHIRLEY.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU WON THE
CONTEST, YOU GOOSE.

AND I KNEW YOU'D
GO AND DO IT ALL
BEHIND OUR BACKS.

Mr. Lawson:
QUIET, EVERYBODY,
QUIET PLEASE.

[Clearing of throat]
[ Ringing of cash register bell ]

IT IS MY GREAT PLEASURE

AS OFFICIAL PURVEYOR
TO AVONLEA

OF THE ROLLINGS RELIABLE
BAKING POWDER COMPANY

TO READ THIS,
THE FOLLOWING TRIBUTE.

UH, MISS ANNE SHIRLEY,

GREEN GABLES, PEI.

DEAR MADAM,

WE HAVE MUCH PLEASURE
IN INFORMING YOU

THAT YOUR CHARMING STORY,
"AVERIL'S ATONEMENT",

[ Applause]
HAS WON THE
$100 GRAND PRIZE

IN OUR RECENT COMPETI-
TION FOR THE BEST STORY

INTRODUCING THE NAME OF
OUR REVERED PRODUCT.

[ Applause ]
[Chuckling ]

UH, THE PRIZE WILL BE
PRESENTED BY MR. CHARLES LAWSON

OF LAWSON'S GENERAL,
AVONLEA.

WE HAVE ARRANGED
PUBLICATION OF THE STORY

IN SEVERAL PROMINENT
NEWSPAPERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

AND WILL SUPPLY
IT IN PAMPHLET FORM

FOR DISTRIBUTION
AMONG OUR PATRONS.

THANKING YOU FOR
THE INTEREST YOU HAVE SHOWN

IN SUPPORTING
OUR ENTERPRISES,

WE REMAIN YOURS
VERY TRULY

THE ROLLINGS RELIABLE...

BAKING POWDER
COMPANY.

YOU'LL SIGN MINE,
WON'T YOU? HERE

OH, AND I'M SURE
MISS SHIRLEY WILL BE HAPPY

TO SIGN EVERYBODY'S BROCHURES.

AND DON'T FORGET YOUR PURCHASE
OF THIS REMARKABLE PRODUCT.

NEXT.
ANNE!

OH, I'M WILD
WITH DELIGHT. AH!

I WAS SURE IT WOULD WIN WHEN I
SENT IT INTO THE COMPETITION.

DIANA BARRY!
YES I DID.

I THOUGHT OF YOUR
STORY IN A MINUTE

WHEN I SAW THE
AD IN THE PAPER.

Man:
MISS SHIRLEY, WILL YOU
SIGN THIS FOR MY DAUGHTER?

[ Mixed hubbub]

THANK YOU.

WELL I WAS GOING
TO TELL YOU TO SEND IT IN YOURSELF,

BUT I FIGURED YOU HAD SO LITTLE
FAITH LEFT IN IT, YOU WOULDN'T.

SO I SENT MY COPY.

THEN IF IT HADN'T WON,
YOU'D NEVER HAVE KNOWN,

BECAUSE THE STORIES THAT
FAILED WEREN'T BEING SENT BACK.

WHY, ANNE, YOU DON'T
SEEM A BIT PLEASED.

OF COURSE I COULDN'T BE
ANYTHING BUT PLEASED.

IT WAS THE
GESTURE OF A
TRUE FRIEND

TO TRY TO BOOST
MY SPIRITS.

BUT THERE ISN'T
A WORD ABOUT...

BAKING POWDER.

OH, I PUT THAT
IN. IT WAS EASY
AS A WINK.

YOU KNOW THE
SCENE WHERE AVERIL
MAKES THE CAKE?

WELL, I JUST
STATED THAT SHE USED
ROLLINGS RELIABLE,

AND THAT'S WHY
IT TURNED OUT
SO WELL.

SEE? AND THE
HERE, IN THE
LAST PARAGRAPH

WHERE PERCIVAL
CLASPS AVERIL IN
HIS ARMS AND SAYS.

"SWEETHEART,
THE BEAUTIFUL
COMING YEARS

WILL BRING US THE
FULFILLMENT OF OUR
HOUSE OF DREAMS."

I ADDED, "IN WHICH
WE WILL NEVER USE
ANY BAKING POWDER

EXCEPT
ROLLINGS RELIABLE."

OH-H!

COME ON. I HAVE THE BUGGY.
I'LL TAKE YOU HOME.

(music)

YOU'VE WON $100.

AND PRISSY GRANT TOLD ME THAT
"CANADIAN WOMEN"

ONLY PAID
$5 A STORY.

I CAN'T TAKE IT.
IT'S RIGHTFULLY
YOURS, DIANA.

YOU SENT THE
STORY IN AND MADE
THE ALTERATIONS.

I CERTAINLY
WOULDN'T
HAVE SENT IT.

SO YOU HAVE
TO TAKE IT.

I'D LIKE TO
SEE MYSELF!

IT WASN'T ANY
TROUBLE, ANNE.

THE HONOUR OF BEING THE BEST
FRIEND OF THE PRIZE WINNER

IS ENOUGH FOR ME

I'M SO GLAD
FOR YOUR SAKE.

I THINK YOU'RE
THE SWEETEST AND
TRUEST FRIEND

IN THE WORLD,
DIANA.

I WILL BUY YOUR
WEDDING GIFT WITH THIS.

DON'T YOU DARE
SPEND IT ALL ON ME.

I GOT A LETTER TODAY
FROM OUR DEAR OLD
TEACHER, MISS STACEY.

SHE IS HEAD
OF THE KING'S COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION
IN NEW BRUNSWICK.

WHAT A PROMOTION.
WELL, APPARENTLY,

THERE'S A POSITION
SHE'S RECOMMENDED ME FOR

AT A LADIES' COLLEGE
IN KINGSPORT.

HOW FLATTERING!

YOU WOULDN'T ACTUALLY
LEAVE, WOULD YOU?

NO, BUT I OUGHT
TO REPLY ANYWAY.

SHE'S GONE TO
ALL THIS TROUBLE,

AND I WOULD...
[ Bawling of cow]

STOP, DIANA!

ANNE!

YOU'LL RUIN YOUR DRESS

IN THAT
MUDDY FIELD.
RUIN IT!

OH, SHE'LL NEVER GET
THAT COW OUT BY HERSELF.

(music)

COME BACK!

STOP!

ANNE SHIRLEY, YOU'RE
BEING RIDICULOUS.

GET OUT OF THIS
FIELD THIS MINUTE.

I DON'T CARE
ABOUT MY DRESS.

I MUST GET THE
COW OUT BEFORE
RACHEL LYNDE SEES HER.

GO ON,
DIANA, RUN.

CORNER HER.

THAT'S IT,
DIANA.

NOW DON'T
FRIGHTEN HER.

THIS IS WHAT
WE'VE GOT TO DO.

[ Bawling of cow]

MAYBE IF WE CAN
GET A HOLD OF HER,

WE CAN FORCE HER
OVER THE FENCE
INTO OUR FIELD.

OKAY, YOU
FILL THE GAP,

AND I'M GOING
TO MAKE A RUN FOR IT,

STRAIGHT
TOWARDS HER.

WITH ANY LUCK,
SHE'LL JUMP THE FENCE.

YOU DON'T MEAN
YOU'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY

WALK THROUGH THAT
MULCH, DO YOU?

IT'S THE LESSER
OF THE TWO EVILS, DIANA.

WHAT IF SHE WAS GOING TO GET INTO
RACHEL'S CABBAGE PATCH AGAIN?

(music)

ALL RIGHT, I HAVE
THE GAP BLOCKED.

COME HERE, DOLLY.

GOOD GIRL.

SHOO. COME ON.

WRETCHED COW.

OH, DON'T EVEN
THINK ABOUT RACHEL'S CABBAGES.

[Gasp ]

[ Shriek]

COME HERE,
YOU STUPID...

Both:
[Yelping ]

[Whimpering ]

[ Sigh ]
SORRY.

Gil:
WELL,

THE ELEGANT
AND ILLUSTRIOUS
MISS SHIRLEY.

UH, RELAXED WHILE
SEEKING OUT IDEAS

FOR HER NEXT ROLLING
RELIABLE'S...

WRITING ASSIGNMENT, I PRESUME.

WELL, DO YOU SUPPOSE I'M HERE
TO CHAT WITH THE BULLFROGS?

BE A GENTLEMAN.

YOU'D HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF
SELLING HER LAST MONTH

WHEN DAD OFFERED
TO BUY HER.

WELL, I'LL SELL DOLLY TO HIM
RIGHT NOW IF HE WANTS HER.

Man:
[ Laughing ]

YOU MAY HAVE
OUR DARN JERSEY

ANYTIME YOU WANT
HER, MR. BLYTHE.

THIS VERY MINUTE
FOR THAT MATTER.

[ Laughing heartily]
DONE!

I'LL GIVE YOU THE
$20 I OFFERED BEFORE.

GIL CAN DRIVE HER
OVER TO CARMODY RIGHT NOW.

SHE'LL GO TO TOWN WITH THE REST
OF THE SHIPMENT THIS EVENING.

I PROMISED MR. REED
OF BRIGHTON A JERSEY.

[Chuckling ]

WHAT WILL MARILLA SAY?

SHE WON'T CARE.

DOLLY WAS MY
COW ANYWAY.

IT'S NOT LIKELY SHE'LL BRING
MORE THAN $20 AT THE AUCTION.

BUT WHEN RACHEL
SEES THIS FIELD,

SHE'LL KNOW
DOLLY WAS LOOSE.

ANNE, I'LL BE OVER THIS
AFTERNOON WITH YOUR $20.

WELL, IT'S TAUGHT ME A LESSON,

NOT TO STAKE MY WORD OF
HONOUR ON COWS.

Mr. Blythe:
[Chuckling ]

(music)

HOW DO YOU
THINK A MOTHER WOULD FEEL

IF SHE FOUND HER CHILD
TATTOOED ALL OVER

WITH A BAKING POWDER
ADVERTISEMENT?

I LOVED MY STORY,

AND I WROTE IT
OUT OF THE BEST
THAT WAS IN ME.

AH, YOU'RE JUST TIRED.

BESIDES, WHY
SHOULD YOU CARE?

100 BUCKS IS MORE
THAN YOU MAKE IN TWO
MONTHS TEACHING ANYWAY.

JOSIE PYE AND TILLIE BOULTER
CAN'T WAIT TO POUNCE ON IT.

AH, THEY'RE
SPITEFUL
OLD CATS.

YOU'RE JUST THE
FIRST PERSON IN
POKEY OLD AVONLEA

TO TRY ANYTHING
LIKE THAT.

ALL PIONEERS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE
AFFLICTED WITH MOONSTRUCK MADNESS.

MAD TO THINK I COULD
WRITE ANYTHING BETTER

THAN A BAKING
POWDER ADVERTISEMENT.

THIS HAS
DAMPENED ANY
SPARK OF AMBITION.

I SHALL NEVER
WRITE ANOTHER
STORY AGAIN.

WELL, I
WOULDN'T GIVE
UP ALTOGETHER.

MAYBE IF YOU JUST LET YOUR
CHARACTERS SPEAK EVERYDAY ENGLISH

INSTEAD OF ALL THAT HIGH-
FALUTING MUMBO-JUMBO.

YOU THINK MY STORY'S
FULL OF FAULTS
TOO, DON'T YOU?

"WILT THOU GIVE
UP THY GARTER,

OH, FAIREST OF THE FAIR?"

ANNE, NOBODY
SPEAKS THAT WAY.

AND LOOK AT THAT
SAD PERCIVAL

WHO SITS AROUND
MOONING THE ENTIRE TIME.

HE NEVER LETS THE GIRL
GET A WORD IN EDGEWISE.

IN REAL LIFE, SHE'D
HAVE PITCHED HIM.

HIS POETRY WOULD
WIN ANY GIRL'S HEART.

WELL, IF YOU
WANT MY OPINION,
MISS SHIRLEY,

I'D WRITE ABOUT
PLACES I KNEW
SOMETHING OF

AND PEOPLE THAT
SPOKE EVERYDAY
ENGLISH

INSTEAD OF THESE
SILLY SCHOOLGIRL
ROMANCES.

I DON'T SHARE
YOUR OPINION.

I AM NOT YOUR
HORSE, MR. BLYTHE.

I WAS JUST TRYING
TO GIVE YOU A BIT
OF FRIENDLY ADVICE.

IS THAT SO?

TAKE THE $100,

AND WRITE A REAL
STORY ABOUT THE
PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT,

RIGHT HERE IN AVONLEA.

WELL YOU CERTAINLY
WOULDN'T BE ONE OF THEM.

"PITCHING"
AND "MOONING"?

[ Sniffle]
YOU KNOW,

YOU'RE ABOUT
AS INTELLECTUAL
AS CHARLIE,

AND MOODY AND
FRED AND ALL THE
REST OF THE BOYS

WHO COULD ONLY THINK OF
FINDING SOME SILLY GIRL TO MARRY

AND KEEP HOUSE
FOR THEM.

WELL, YOU CAN CRY
AND FEEL SORRY FOR
YOURSELF ALL YOU WANT,

BUT IT WON'T HELP YOU
WRITE A BETTER NOVEL.

[ Sigh ]

WILL YOU STILL COME
TO FRED'S CLAMBAKE
WITH ME NEXT TUESDAY?

[ Sniffle]

LISTEN, ANNE, I'M SORRY.

WILL YOU LET ME
WALK YOU BACK?

I WAS JUST TRYING
TO BE HELPFUL.

YOU... YOU KNOW YOU GET
MY BACK UP SOMETIMES.

LISTEN, I'M SORRY.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

[Grunt of effort]

LET ME GET A
WORD IN EDGEWISE
ONCE IN A WHILE,

BEFORE I
PITCH YOU!

(music)

WHOA!

GOOD DAY, MARILLA.

WELL... JOHN BLYTHE.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
AROUND THESE PARTS MUCH LATELY.

WELL, I HAVEN'T
MUCH TIME FOR SOCIAL
CALLS NOWADAYS.

OLD PLACE STILL LOOKS
AS PRETTY THOUGH.

THE OLD BUILDINGS
ARE GETTING WORN DOWN.

BUT PEOPLE IN
AVONLEA STILL SAY

THAT IT'S THE
LOVELIEST OLD SPOT
ON THE NORTH SHORE.

OH, IT IS THAT.

SOME THINGS NEVER
CHANGE EVEN IN 30 YEARS.

I'M LOOKING FOR MY BOY.

YES.

ANNE AND HE ARE
WALKING BY THE POND.

MAYBE...

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO SIT A WHILE,

TILL THEY COME BACK?

THANKS.

BUT WE'RE TAKING A SHIPMENT INTO
CHARLOTTETOWN BEFORE DARK.

I'D BEST GO AND FIND HIM.

[Whinnying of horse ]

ANNE? WHAT
ABOUT YOUR $20?

FOR THE COW.

THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL
FAR FROM THE TREE, DOES IT?

GOOD DAY,
MARILLA.

(music)

[ Sobbing ]
[ Knocking on door ]

THERE, THERE.
[ Sniffling ]

YOU TAKE THINGS
TOO MUCH TO HEART,
ANNE SHIRLEY.

OH, MARILLA,

IT'S BEEN SUCH
A JONAH DAY,

WITH ROLLINGS
RELIABLE,

AND DOLLY,
AND GILBERT.

NOW, NOW,
JONAH DAYS COME
TO EVERYBODY.

GOD KNOWS BEST.

YOU USED TO SAY...

"TOMORROW IS
ALWAYS FRESH WITH
NO MISTAKES."

DO YOU REMEMBER?

[Chuckling ]

OH, WHAT A
GIRL YOU WERE

FOR MAKING
MISTAKES IN
THEM DAYS.

HMMM?
[Gulping ]

I USED TO THINK
YOU WERE POSSESSED.

DO YOU MIND
THE TIME YOU
DYED YOUR HAIR?

OH LORD.

OH, WHAT A
WORRY MY RED
HAIR USED TO BE.

I'M AFRAID I'VE
NEVER BEEN ABLE

TO ENDURE PERSONAL
CRITICISM VERY WELL.

GILBERT GAVE HIS
HONEST OPINION
OF MY STORY
THIS AFTERNOON.

MY... MY TEMPER...
IT ALWAYS GETS
THE BETTER OF ME.

I WHIPPED HIM AS
HARD AS I COULD.

I'M GLAD
TO HEAR IT.

THE BLYTHES HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN FAR
TOO OPINIONATED

FOR THEIR
OWN GOOD.

NO, MARILLA.
HE WAS RIGHT.

AND I'VE MADE
A TERRIBLE IDIOT
OF MYSELF.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
SPITEFUL I WAS.

I CAN IMAGINE.

OUR FRIENDSHIP...
IT WON'T EVER
BE THE SAME NOW.

WHY CAN'T HE JUST
BE SENSIBLE AND...

INSTEAD OF ACTING
LIKE A SENTIMENTAL
SCHOOLBOY.

BECAUSE HE
LOVES YOU.

HE LOVES ME?

I CAN'T
KNOW WHY.

BECAUSE YOU
MAKE JOSIE PYE
AND RUBY GILLIS

AND ALL OF THOSE WISHY-WASHY YOUNG
LADIES WHO'VE WALTZED BY HIM

LOOK LIKE
SPINELESS NOTHINGS.

BUT GIL AND I...

HE'S HARDLY
MY IDEA OF A
ROMANTIC SUITOR.

YOU HAVE TRICKED SOMETHING OUT OF
THAT IMAGINATION OF YOURS

THAT YOU
CALL ROMANCE.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN HOW HE GAVE UP
AVONLEA SCHOOL FOR YOU,

SO THAT YOU
COULD STAY
HERE WITH ME?

HE PICKED YOU
UP EVERY DAY IN
HIS CARRIAGE,

SO THAT YOU
COULD STUDY YOUR
COURSES TOGETHER.

DON'T TOSS IT
AWAY, ANNE,

FOR SOME
RIDICULOUS IDEAL

THAT DOESN'T EXIST.

HMMM?

NOW YOU COME DOWNSTAIRS AND
SEE IF A GOOD CUP OF TEA

AND SOME OF THOSE PLUM PUFFS THAT I
MADE TODAY DON'T HEARTEN YOU.

PLUM PUFFS WON'T
MINISTER TO A
MIND DISEASED.

AND A WORLD THAT
HAS CRUMBLED
INTO PIECES.

WELL, I'M GLAD
TO SEE THAT YOUR
DENTED SPIRITS

HAVEN'T INJURED
YOUR TONGUE.

(music)

SUPPOSE IT'S JUST AS WELL
YOU SOLD THE DARN COW...

THOUGH YOU DO DO
THINGS IN A DREADFUL
HEADLONG FASHION.

I ONLY PRAY THAT
RACHEL DOESN'T
BURST A BLOOD VESSEL

WHEN SHE SEES
HER POTATO
FIELDS TODAY.

I'VE DECIDED TO
WRITE MISS STACEY,

AND ASK HER FOR MORE PARTICULARS
ON THIS LADIES' COLLEGE.

I THINK THAT'S A
WISE IDEA, ANNE.

GO OUT AND FIND
ME A COUPLE OF
EGGS, WILL YOU?

I DON'T KNOW HOW
IN HEAVEN'S NAME

DOLLY GOT OUT
OF THAT PEN.

SHE MUST HAVE
JUST BROKEN SOME
OF THE BOARDS.

[ Squawking of geese]

[ Bawling of cow]

OH NO!

MARILLA,
DOLLY'S HERE!

ANNE, WHAT IN
HEAVEN'S NAME IS
THE MATTER WITH YOU?

WHAT WILL I DO?

OH, THIS IS TERRIBLE
AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

I MUST LEARN TO
REFLECT A LITTLE

BEFORE I GO CHARGING
AHEAD RECKLESSLY.

ANNE SHIRLEY, YOU ARE THE
MOST EXASPERATING GIRL.

WHAT IS IT THAT
YOU'VE DONE?

I'VE SOLD
RACHEL LYNDE'S
JERSEY COW,

THE ONE THEY
BOUGHT IN CARMODY
LAST SPRING,

TO MR. BLYTHE,

AND DOLLY IS HERE
THIS VERY MINUTE
IN THE MILKING PEN.

ANNE, ARE
YOU DREAMING?

I ONLY WISH
I WERE.

THERE'S NO
DREAM ABOUT IT,

THOUGH IT'S VERY MUCH
LIKE A NIGHTMARE.

THAT IS DOLLY.

RACHEL LYNDE'S
COW IS IN
CHARLOTTETOWN
BY NOW.

MARILLA, I THOUGHT
I WAS FINISHED
GETTING INTO SCRAPES,

AND HERE I AM IN THE
VERY WORST ONE I EVER
WAS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

WHAT CAN I DO?

DO? THERE IS
NOTHING TO DO

BUT TO GO AND TELL
RACHEL THE TRUTH.

YOU ARE JUST GOING
TO HAVE TO LEARN
TO SETTLE DOWN

AND PAY HEED
TO THINGS.

Anne:
I'VE HUMILIATED
MYSELF

INTO THE
VERY DUST.

MAYBE SHE'D ACCEPT A PLATE
OF PLUM PUFFS AS A PEACE OFFERING.

(music)

Anne:
OH, NO.

IF SHE'S THAT
CROSS, WHAT
WILL SHE BE

WHEN I SAY
WHAT I'VE DONE?

Marilla:
IF SHE GIVES
YOU THE CHANCE TO
SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

AFTERNOON,
THOMAS.

AFTERNOON,
MARILLA.

AFTERNOON,
RACHEL.
MARILLA.

ANNE. I'M GLAD
YOU'VE COME.

I CERTAINLY HAD
NO INTENTION OF
VISITING YOU PEOPLE

AFTER BEING FLOWN
AT AS I WAS ON
MY ASTVISIT.

WELL, IT WOULD
APPEAR THAT
SOME KIND OF...

KERFUFFLE HAS
COME OUT OF THIS.

ANNE WOULD
LIKE TO...

PLEASE,
MARILLA,

I'M NOT FINISHED YET.
ON REFLECTION,

I REALIZED THAT I
WAS PARTLY TO BLAME.

I HAD NO RIGHT TO BE SO
ILL-TEMPERED WITH YOU,

AND I'M NOT ONE
OF THEM THAT CAN
NEVER BE BROUGHT

TO OWN UP TO
THEIR MISTAKES.

I'D LIKE TO
APOLOGIZE TO YOU,

ANNE SHIRLEY,

AND I WONDER IF
YOU'D SIGN MY COPY

OF YOUR "AVERIL'S
ATONEMENT"?

THE MONEY THEY
PAY FOR SUCH
LIES IS PERFECTLY
AMAZING, BUT...

I READ IT TO MY THOMAS
AND WE WERE BOTH MOVED.

I'M MUCH OBLIGED TO YOU,

AS IT'S THE ONLY
ENTERTAINMENT HE'S HAD

FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS.

I LAUGHED SO HARD,
I'M NOT SURE IT WASN'T
GOOD FOR MY HEART.

I'M SO PLEASED.

COME AND LAY OFF
YOUR THINGS.

YOU'LL STAY TO
TEA, WON'T YOU?

THANK YOU,
RACHEL.

Rachel:
IT'S NOTHING
SHORT OF A WONDER

HOW YOU'VE
IMPROVED, ANNE, IN
LOOKS AND TALENT.

I'M NOT OVERLY PARTIAL TO THE
PALE, WIDE-EYES STYLE MYSELF.

I PREFER MORE
SNAP AND COLOUR.

BUT YOU DO MAKE THEM
OTHER AVOLEA GIRLS
WITH SHOWY GOOD LOOKS

SEEM KIND OF OVERDONE.

LIKE MY JUNE LILIES
ALONGSIDE THEM
BIG, RED PEONIES.

THAT'S WHAT.

HERE'S YOUR
TEA, THOMAS.

I DON'T WANT ANY TEA.

NOW, THOMAS,
YOU JUST FINISH
YOUR NAP HERE,

AND GET SOME
FRESH AIR.

I REALLY... I WANTED
TO CONFESS SOMETHING
TO YOU, MRS. LYNDE.

IT'S ABOUT
THE JERSEY COW.

I SAW MY TRAMPLED
POTATO FIELD
THIS MORNING.

NEVER MIND, ANNE. IT
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE NOW.

IF ONLY IT WERE
THAT, MRS. LYNDE.

BUT IT'S 10 TIMES WORSE.

WELL, YOU'RE NEVER
SAFE FROM SURPRISE
TILL YOU'RE DEAD.

DON'T TELL ME SHE'S
DONE IN THE LAST
OF MY CABBAGES TOO.

IT'S NOT THE
CABBAGES, MRS. LYNDE,

AND I'LL TELL
YOU EVERYTHING.

BUT PLEASE
DON'T INTERRUPT.

IT'S MAKING
ME NERVOUS.

Thomas:
RACHEL!

THOMAS, YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE SNOOZING.

YOU SEE, DIANA
AND I CHASED A
CERTAIN JERSEY COW

OUT OF YOUR POTATO
FIELD YESTERDAY.

WELL, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT
A DIFFICULT TIME WE HAD.

I WAS SO DREADFULLY
TIRED AND WET

AND CROSS
AFTER IT ALL,

WELL, I SOLD THE
COW ON THE SPOT

TO THE BLYTHES FOR $20.

TSK, TSK, I HOPE
YOU'RE NOT VEXED
WITH HER, MARILLA.

SHE SHOULD HAVE
CONSULTED YOU FIRST.

SO LONG AS MY
CABBAGES ARE SAFE,

WE'LL JUST PRETEND
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Anne:
YOU SEE,
THIS MORNING,

I FOUND MY DOLLY
STILL SHUT UP IN
OUR MILKING PEN.

IT WAS YOUR COW...

THAT ANNE SOLD
TO JOHN BLYTHE,
RACHEL.

AND IT WAS SHIPPED
OUT RIGHT AWAY

ON THE AFTERNOON
TRAIN BY MR. BLYTHE.

Marilla:
YOU'LL FIND THAT
OUR JERSEY IS AS
GOOD AS YOURS,

OR PERHAPS YOU'D
PREFER THE $20.

MARILLA CUTHBERT,

WE PAID MORE THAN
$50 FOR OUR COW.

AND I HAVE NO INTENTION
OF ACCEPTING THAT VARMINT
OF YOURS IN EXCHANGE.

YOU HAVE ADMITTED
YOU ARE PARTIALLY TO
BLAME FOR ALL OF THIS.

ANNE SHIRLEY, YOU ARE TOO
HEEDLESS AND IMPULSIVE.

YOU JUST GO ON AND DO WHATEVER
COMES INTO YOUR HEAD, THAT'S WHAT.

WELL, IN THIS WORLD YOU
PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKES,

AND YOU CAN CERTAINLY
AFFORD TO PAY NOW.

WELL, YOU HAVE CERTAINLY
MADE A FINE EXHIBITION
OF YOURSELF, RACHEL,

FALLING ALL
OVER THIS GIRL

BECAUSE SHE'S
A SUCCESS.

IT'S PLAIN
TO SEE NOW

WHAT YOUR TRUE
COLOURS ARE.

Thomas:
RACHEL!
I'M COMING, THOMAS.

OH, THAT MAN! IF
HE'D JUST BRAVE UP

AND EXERT HIS WILL
POWER A LITTLE,

HE'D GET BETTER
IN NO TIME.

IT'S A WONDER TO
ME THAT HE DARED
TO GET SICK AT ALL

WITHOUT ASKING
HER PERMISSION.

COME ALONG,
ANNE.

WE'LL PAY
HER HER $50.

Rachel:
THOMAS!

THOMAS!
[ Moaning ]

OH, DEAR GOD,
PLEASE DON'T
TAKE HIM.

WHAT IS IT,
THOMAS?

WHERE'S HIS
MEDICINE, RACHEL?

IT'S IN THE
CUPBOARD.

IS THIS IT?
YES.

RACHEL?

YES, THOMAS,
WHAT IS IT?

I...
WHAT IS IT?

I CAN'T
HEAR YOU.

WHAT IS IT?

OH, THOMAS!

[ Sobbing ]

OH, RACHEL...

I'M AFRAID
THERE'S NOTHING
WE CAN DO.

[ Sobbing ]

Rachel:
THERE WON'T
BE MUCH LEFT

AFTER ALL OUR
DEBTS ARE SETTLED.

I EXPECT I'LL GO
WEST TO MY ROBERT,

IF HE'LL HAVE ME.

[ Sniffle]

THE FARM IS
MORTGAGED AND...

NOW IT WILL
HAVE TO BE SOLD.

NOW, RACHEL.

PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.

WELL, I'M NO
JELLYFISH. BUT...

A WOMAN MY AGE DOESN'T
MAKE FRIENDS AND INTERESTS
EASILY, THAT'S ALL.

IT BREAKS MY HEART TO
THINK OF LEAVING AVONLEA.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING
TIGHT, RACHEL?

A LITTLE BETTER I
THINK, THANK YOU, ANNE.

HERE'S MY GIFT, PAID
FOR OUT OF THE PROCEEDS
OF THE JERSEY COW.

IT'S NOT MUCH
OF A PARTY
GIFT, BUT...

YOU TELL THEM THAT
I PLAN TO GIVE
THEM MY ZIGZAG QUILT

AS A WEDDING
PRESENT.

WHY, ANNE, YOU HAVEN'T
WORN THAT OUTFIT IN AGES.

YOU LOOK
LOVELY.

THANK YOU, MARILLA.

GILBERT BLYTHE WILL
BE MIGHTY PROUD.

WHY ISN'T HE HERE YET?

PUT ON YOUR SWEATER.

IT'S GOG TO BE
COOL THIS EVENING.

I'M... I'M GOING
ALONE, RACHEL.

I HOPE YOU DON'T
MIND MY TAKING THE
CARRIAGE, MARILLA.

NO. NO.

YOU DID PUT
MY NAME ON THE
CARD, I HOPE.

OF COURSE,
MARILLA.

GOODBYE NOW.

GOODBYE, RACHEL.

HAVE A
LOVELY TIME.

BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T
GET YOUR SKIRT CAUGHT

IN THE WHEEL OF
THE HAY-WAIN, ANNE.

[Closing of door]

WELL, MARILLA,

YOU KNOW I
PRIDE MYSELF ON
SPEAKING MY MIND.

I SMELL TROUBLE, AND
I DON'T MIND SAYING SO.

PROVIDENCE MATCHED
THEM TWO UP

SINCE THEY
WERE CHILDREN,
THAT'S WHAT.

AND THEY ARE
CHILDREN STILL.

SHE'S 18, AND
I WAS MARRIED
BY THAT TIME.

BUT ANNE'S GROWN TOO
MUCH LIKE YOU, MARILLA.

IT'S THE OVER-PARTICULAR
ONES, GET LEFT BEHIND

AND IT IS THE
OVER-OPINIONATED
THAT END UP UNHAPPY

AND MEANER THAN
SECOND SKIMMINGS.

Both:
[Giggling ]

OH! THIS IS
GLORIOUS!

DID YOU REMEMBER
THE TIME...
[Giggling ]

WE SLEPT ALL
NIGHT IN THE
HAY LOFT?

AND I WAS SO
FRIGHTENED WE WERE
GOING TO BE ATTACKED
BY THAT BARN OWL,

I...
COME ON, DIANA,

WE'VE GOT
TO ORGANIZE
THE GIFTS.

DUTY CALLS.

[ Fiddle music]

ANNE, WHERE
ARE YOU OFF TO?

WE WON'T LEAVE
ANY CLAMS FOR YOU

IF YOU DON'T
HURRY BACK.

JUST ENJOYING
THE FRESH AIR.

OH, YOU HAVEN'T
MET MY FIANCE.

HARRY INGLIS
FROM WINNIPEG,
ANNE SHIRLEY.

PLEASED TO MEET
YOU, MA'AM.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

WELL, YOU'RE A VERY
LUCKY MAN, MR. INGLIS.

WHERE WILL
YOU LIVE?

IN MONTREAL.
HARRY'S IN THE
MINING BUSINESS.

OH, JANE, STOP
SHOWING OFF
YOUR RING.

I CAN SEE IT
GLIMMERING
THROUGH THE TREES.

IT'S BEEN REAL
NICE SEEING YOU
AGAIN, ANNE.

LET'S GO, HARRY.

YOU BOYS RUN
ALONG WITH JANE
AND HARRY.

I WANT TO TALK TO ANNE.

ISN'T JANE'S
MILLIONAIRE ANCIENT?

HE COULD BE
HER FATHER.

WELL, HE CERTAINLY MUST
HAVE A LOT OF MOI.

I'LL SAY. HE'S
JUST SHOWERED HER
WITH JEWELRY.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO
EUROPE ON A WEDDING TOUR.

JANE'S SUCH A NICE GIRL.

SHE'S NEVER EVEN TRIED
TO ATTRACT ATTENTION.

WELL, SHE'S
CERTAINLY NOT IN THE
MILLIONAIRE'S CLASS.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, ANNE?

ARE YOU HERE
WITH GILBERT?

I...
AREN'T THOSE
TWO RIDICULOUS?

THEY'RE DETERMINED
TO SIT EACH
OTHER OUT.

I REALLY DON'T CARE
A SNIT ABOUT EITHER
OF THEM, YOU KNOW.

WELL, LET'S
GET TOGETHER
SOON, ANNE.

I WANT TO HEAR
ALL OF YOUR NEWS.

[ Fiddle music ends ]

[ Distant applause ]

[Twittering of birds ]

[ Fiddle music starts ]

[To imaginary partner]
ME?

I'D BE HONOURED TO
ACCEPT THIS DANCE.

[ Orchestra music]

[ Imaginary conversation ]

WHY THANK YOU.

YOU CAN CALL ME CORDELIA.

CORDELIA, YOU
HAVE AN EXQUISITE
ROSELEAF COMPLEXION.

DO ALLOW ME.

I HAVE AN ACCOUNT
TO SETTLE WITH
THIS YOUNG LADY.

YOUR $20.

CARE TO?

[ Orchestra music]

[ Sigh ]

I'M SORRY, GIL.

I MUST HAVE
TWO LEFT FEET.

WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING ABOUT?

I'M AFRAID TO
SPEAK OR MOVE

FOR FEAR THAT ALL
THIS WONDERFUL BEAUTY
WILL JUST VANISH,

LIKE A BROKEN SILENCE.

DOESN'T IT REMIND
YOU OF OUR OLD
SCHOOL-DAY PICNICS?

HMMM.

I DON'T WANT ANY
OF IT TO CHANGE.

I WISH I COULD
JUST HOLD ONTO
THOSE DAYS FOREVER.

I HAVE A FEELING
THINGS WILL NEVER
BE THE SAME AGAIN.

WILL THEY?

I WON'T CHANGE.

THAT'S THE LEAST
I CAN PROMISE YOU.

ANNE, THERE'S
SOMETHING I
WANT TO ASK YOU.

GIL, PLEASE DON'T.

WHAT IS IT?

YOU'VE BEEN AVOIDING
ME ALL SPRING,
EVER SINCE WE GRADUATED.

I NEVER WANTED TO MAKE
YOU CARE FOR ME SO.

I KEPT AWAY SO
YOU WOULDN'T.

WELL, I WON'T
BE COMING BACK TO
WHITE SANDS IN THE FALL.

DALHOUSIE MEDICAL SCHOOL
HAS ACCEPTED ME.

GIL, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

I'M SORRY ABOUT
LAST WEEK.

I ONLY WANTED TO SHOW
YOU HOW MUCH I CARE.

WELL, MAYBE YOU DON'T
THINK I'M GOOD ENOUGH
FOR YOU NOW,

BUT I WILL BE SOMEDAY.

NO, GIL, YOU'RE A GREAT
DEAL TOO GOOD FOR ME.

BUT YOU WANT SOMEONE
WHO'LL ADORE YOU;

SOMEONE WHO'LL
BE HAPPY JUST TO
HANG ON YOUR ARM

AND BUILD A
HOME FOR YOU

I WOULDN'T.

ANNE, THAT'S NOT WHAT
I'M LOOKING FOR AT ALL.

WE'D END UP LIKE TWO
OLD CROWS, FIGHTING
ALL THE TIME.

I KNOW I'D
BE UNHAPPY,

AND I'D WISH WE'D
NEVER DONE IT.

EVERYBODY
EXPECTS IT.

YOU MUST
FEEL THAT.

WELL THEN, IT
WOULD BE FOR
ALL THE WRONG
REASONS, GIL.

YOU JUST THINK
THAT YOU LOVE ME.

ANNE...

I'VE LOVED YOU AS LONG
AS I CAN REMEMBER.

I NEED YOU.

I CAN'T GO AWAY KNOWING
THAT IF I'D JUST...

I PROMISE THAT
I'll ALWAYS BE HERE
IF YOU NEED ME.

GOOD FRIENDS ARE
ALWAYS TOGETHER
IN SPIRIT.

LET'S NOT CHANGE, GIL.

LET'S JUST GO ON
BEING GOOD FRIENDS.

[ Heavy sigh ]

FRIENDS, HUH?

I THOUGHT WE
WERE KINDRED
SPIRITS.

PLEASE SAY YES.

I CAN'T.

GIL, I'M SO
DESPERATELY SORRY.

[ Sigh ]

[Chirping of crickets ]

[ Honking of car horn ]
WHOA!

[ Neighing of horse ]
WHOA!

LADY, GET OUT OF THE WAY.

WHOA!

WHAT THE HECK ARE
YOU DOING, LADY?

HAVE YOU ANY IDEA
HOW DIFFICULT IT IS

TO REPLACE ONE
OF THESE LANTERNS?

YOU HAD NO
BUSINESS TAKING
THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.

YOU HAD NO BUSINESS
TO BE OUT HERE ALONE

IN THE DARK
WITHOUT A LANTERN.

ARE ALL MOTORISTS
AS BOLD AS YOU?

I ENJOY BEING OUT
ALONE AT NIGHT.

ANY GENTLEMAN
WOULD HAVE HAD THE
DECENCY TO STOP.

I WAS HOPING
WE'D MEET AGAIN.

I'VE BEEN WONDERING
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
EXACTLY WHO YOU WERE.

I'M SORRY I
WASN'T ABLE TO
INTRODUCE MYSELF

THAT DAY ON
THE BEACH.

CAPTAIN...
I HAVE NO DESIRE
TO BE INTRODUCED,

THANK YOU.

I'LL BET NO
ONE'S EVER TOLD

HOW BECOMING RED HAIR
CAN BE IN THE MOONLIGHT.

ACTUALLY LOTS
OF PEOPLE HAVE.

WHY DON'T YOU
TIE THE HORSE UP?

I'LL TAKE WHEREVER
YOU WANT TO GO.

YOU CAN COME BACK
FOR THE BUGGY
IN THE MORNING.

I'LL DO NO
SUCH THING.

SUIT YOURSELF.

JUST TRYING TO
BE A GENTLEMAN.

[Whinnying of horse ]

DON'T GIVE YOURSELF AIRS.

YOU ARE IN A CLASS
ENTIRELY BY YOURSELF.

(singing) OH PROMISE ME THAT
SOMEDAY YOU AND I... (singing)

[Giggling ]

(singing) WILL TAKE OUR LOVE
TOGETHER TO SOME SKIES (singing)

(singing) WHEN WE...
Both:
[Giggling ]

(singing)...ALONE AND
LOVE RENEW... (singing)

IF THE MINISTER'S WIFE
ATTEMPTS TO DO THIS
PIECE, I SHALL FAINT.

I CAN'T ALLOW IT.

(singing)...FLOWERS BLUE...

[Giggling ]
CAN'T YOU
JUST SEE

THE BUTTONS POPPING
OFF HER CORSET.

OH STOP, ANNE.

OH, I'M GOING TO BE SICK.

NOW, NOW, THIS IS YOU,

NERVOUSLY SWEEPING
UP THE AISLE ON
YOUR FATHER'S ARM,

YOUR BLACK CURLS
FROSTED OVER

WITH THE FILM OF YOUR
DELICATE CHIFFON VEIL.

THE PERFECT
BRIDE.

YOU LOOK INTO
FRED'S RED FACE
AND WHISPER,

"DO."
OH, NO.

DON'T BE MEAN.

JUST PROMISE
ME ONE THING.

IF HE FAINTS,
MAKE SURE YOU
CATCH HIM.

[ Scratching of record ]

DIANA?

DIANA BARRY,
WHAT IN HEAVEN'S
NAME IS GOING ON?

NOW YOU'VE
DONE IT.

DIANA, ANSWER ME.

NOTHING, MOTHER.

WE'RE JUST
REHEARSING THE
WEDDING MARCH.

WELL FOR PITY'S
SAKE, DON'T MARCH
THROUGH THE CEILING.

OH, I'M SO
NERVOUS, ANNE.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M GOING
TO GET THROUGH
THIS TOMORROW.

YOU'LL BE
ALL RIGHT.

EVERYONE SURVIVES
THE CEREMONY.

IT'S AFTERWARDS...
OH, YOU'RE
SO SMUG.

JUST WAIT TILL
YOUR TURN COMES,
MISS ANNE.

NO, I HAVE DEFI-
NITELY DECIDED
ON A CAREER
OVER MARRIAGE.

I THINK I'D LIKE
TO BE A NUN.

WOULDN'T IT
BE WONDERFUL
TO BE THE BRIDE
OF HEAVEN?

OH, BUT THEN,
I'M NOT CATHOLIC.

AND I'D HARDLY
QUALIFY FOR THAT
SORT OF CAREER.

WELL, WHAT
ABOUT A NURSE?

THAT'S A ROMANTIC
PROFESSION,

SMOOTHING
FEVERED BROWS,

AND SOME HANDSOME
MILLIONAIRE
PATIENT

FALLING MADLY IN
LOVE WITH YOU,

AND CARRYING
YOU OFF TO THE
MEDITERRANEAN.

I CAN'T GIVE IT
UP FOR THE PROSAIC
REALITY OF GILBERT.

HE PROPOSED,
YOU KNOW...

AND I REFUSED.

YOU WHAT?

YES.

ANNE, ARE YOU
OUT OF YOUR MIND?

DON'T SCOLD ME, DIANA.

CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

OH, ANNE, I
CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I THOUGHT ALL THIS
GING ON ABOUT YOUR
IDEALS WAS A COVER-UP

BECAUSE HE HADN'T
ASKED YOU YET.

YOU ACTUALLY SAID NO?

AFTER TWO YEARS
OF FLIRTING,

THIS IS
SCANDALOUS.

YOU TAKE THAT
BACK, DIANA BARRY.

I'VE NEVER
FLIRTED WITH HIM.

GIL AND I HAVE ONLY
EVER BEEN GOOD FRIENDS.

I EVEN STEERED CLEAR OF
GILBERT BECAUSE OF YOU.

HOW COULD YOU, ANNE?

I KNOW... I
DON'T LOVE HIM.

I'M SURE HE
DESPISES ME NOW.

AND YOU DESPISE ME

AND I DESPISE
MYSELF.

I'M SO HUMILIATED
OVER THIS WHOLE
STUPID THING.

YOU POOR
DARLING.

I'VE NO RIGHT
TO SCOLD.

THINGS ARE
SO MIXED UP IN
REAL LIFE, ANNE.

THEY'RE NEVER AS
CLEAR AS THEY ARE
IN ROMANTIC NOVELS.

[Wedding music]

(singing) OH PROMISE ME THAT
SOMEDAY YOU AND I (singing)

(singing) WILL TAKE OUR LOVE
TOGETHER TO SOME SKIES... (singing)

[ Mixed chatter ]

YOUR PARENTS
ARE COMING.

OH! OH, ANNE,
I SHALL DIE.

I'M SO NERVOUS,
I KNOW I'M GOING
TO FAINT, AUNT JO.

IF YOU DO, I'll DRAG YOU DOWN
TO THE RAINWATER HOG SHED

AND DROP YOU IN.
HERE. LET
ME SEE YOU.

DON'T YOU FRET.

OH, YOU
LOOK LOVELY.

Mr. Barry:
WELL, EVERYTHING'S ALL READY.

I'VE GIVEN
THE MINISTER
THE SIGNAL.

OH, MY DARLING,
I'M LOSING
YOU FOREVER.

OH! OH!

NOW, NOW, DON'T GET ALL
SENTIMENTAL, ELIZABETH.

YOU STILL
HAVE MINNIE MAY.

TEARS AREN'T
LUCKY AT WEDDINGS.

(singing)...OH PROMISE ME

(singing) HEARING GOD'S MESSAGE
WHILE THE ORGAN ROLLS (singing)

(singing) ITS MIGHTY MUSIC
TO OUR VERY SOULS (singing)

(singing) A LOVE THAT'S PERFECT
AND A LIFE WITH PEACE (singing)

(singing) OH PROMISE ME

(singing) OH PROMISE...

WHAT A FINE-
LOOKING PAIR.

YOU WON'T WIN THAT
BLYTHE BOY BACK
BY PUNISHING HIM.

I WONDER
WHY EVERYONE
SEEMS TO THINK

I OUGHT TO BE WITH
GILBERT BLYTHE.

DIANA...

[Cheering/applause ]
[ Mixed greetings ]

EXCUSE ME.

MOODY SPURGEON.

Anne:
GOODNESS, YOU
LOOK OLDER

IN YOUR NEW
CELLULOID COLLAR.

THANKS, ANNE.
YOU LOOK DASHING
Y-YOURSELF.

Y-YOU LOOKED
AS GOOD AS
THE BRIDE.

WELL, HOW SWEET
OF YOU, MOODY,

TO ASK JOSIE
TO THE WEDDING.

YOU KNOW, I WAS
AFRAID YOU MIGHTN'T
HAVE BEEN INVITED.

ISN'T SHE
PRECIOUS, MOODY?

YOU WORE THAT
SWEET OLD DRESS

TO FANNY EMERSON'S
WEDDING LAST
YEAR THOUGH,

DIDN'T
YOU, ANNE?

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY,

"TWICE A BRIDESMAID,
NEVER A BRIDE."

THAT'S "THREE TIMES
A BRIDESMAID,"

NOT TWICE, JOSIE.

BUT THEN YOU'RE
SO FORTUNATE.

THE ONLY THING YOU'VE
EVER HAD TO WEAR TWICE

IS A SOUR EXPRESSION.

NOW, DON'T YOU FORGET
TO SAVE ME A WALTZ.

I WON'T, ANNE.

ALL RIGHT.
I WAS JUST TRYING
TO BE POLITE.

YOUR TURN,
GILBERT...

AH, EXCUSE ME
A MOMENT, WON'T
YOU, CHRISTINE?

MOODY, JOSIE.
GILBERT.

WHAT'S WRONG?
I DON'T KNOW.

ANNE, WAIT.

PLEASE, GIL.

WHERE ARE
YOU GOING?

I'M LEAVING.

MARILLA TOOK
RACHEL BACK
EARLY.

SHE WAS
ILL, AND...

I DON'T FEEL
VERY WELL EITHER.

I'LL DRIVE
YOU BACK.

WHAT ABOUT
YOUR FRIEND?

I CAN EXPLAIN.
SHE WON'T MIND.

SHE LOOKS
LIKE A LOVELY

AND ACCOMPLISHED
YOUNG LADY, GIL.

IT'S NOT CHRISTINE
I CARE ABOUT.

THERE'S SOMEONE
ELSE, ISN'T THERE?

NO, GIL, HONESTLY
THERE ISN'T.

I DON'T CARE
FOR ANYONE
IN THAT WAY,

AND I LIKE
YOU MORE
THAN ANYBODY.

ANNE, I'LL WAIT.

EVEN IF I
THOUGHT YOU CARED
JUST A LITTLE.

I DO CARE, GIL.

I ALWAYS HAVE.

BUT I CAN NEVER, NEVER LOVE YOU
IN THE WAY THAT YOU WANT ME TO.

I'M HAPPY AS I AM.

I WON'T EVER MARRY.

YOU'LL MARRY ALL RIGHT.

SOME FOOL WHO'LL SIT
AND READ TENNYSON BY
FIRE LIGHT, NO DOUBT...

AND BUILD YOU
YOUR CASTLES
IN THE SKY.

I KNOW YOU.

PLEASE, GIL, I DON'T
MEAN TO HURT YOU,

BUT YOU'LL SEE THAT
I'M RIGHT BY AND BY,

WHEN YOU FALL
FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

YOU HAVEN'T
HURT ME REALLY.

IT'S JUST
THAT I'VE...

FOOLED MYSELF INTO
THINKING THAT YOU
LOVED ME, THAT'S ALL.

GIL, PLEASE.

I HOPE HE BREAKS
YOUR HEART...

WHOEVER HE IS.

YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND.

THEN MAYBE YOU'LL
COME TO YOUR SENSES.

ANNE!

OH, YOU LOOK
POSITIVELY
RADIANT.

YOU LOOK LIKE
YOU'VE SEEN
A GHOST.

GILBERT SPOKE
TO ME AGAIN.

DIANA, I FEEL
LIKE I'VE CUT OFF
HIS RIGHT ARM.

WOULD YOU PLEASE
GO AND TALK TO HIM?

I KNOW HE'LL
LISTEN TO YOU.

HURRY UP, DIANA.

I DON'T... I DON'T KNOW
WHEN OR... OR HOW, BUT...

I'LL TRY.

GOODBYE, ANNE.

FAREWELL, MY BELOVED.

(music)

[Cheering ]

Christine:
YOU'RE WRONG,
TILLIE.

I THOUGHT
ANNE SHIRLEY
LOOKED LOVELY
BESIDE DIANA.

CHRISTINE STEWART,
YOU'RE TOO KIND.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU DIDN'T NOTICE
ANNE STARING
AT GILBERT,

JUST TO MAKE
HIM JEALOUS.

I KNOW THAT GIL IS
VERY FOND OF ANNE,

BUT HE CERTAINLY
ISN'T JEALOUS.
HUH!

SHE'S JUST TRYING
DESPERATELY TO WIN
HIM BACK FROM YOU.

Christine:
I DON'T THINK
IT'S THAT AT ALL.

BESIDES,
GIL AND I ARE
ONLY FRIENDS.

WELL, I THINK
ANNE SHIRLEY
HAS FAR TOO BIG

AN OPINION
OF HERSELF.

(music)

WHY, ANNE,

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO STAY AT THE
BARRYS' FOR THE BONFIRE.

WHY DID YOU COME
HOME SO EARLY?

DIANA... SHE
WAS THE BRIDE
OF MY DREAMS.

BUT SHE AND FRED
HAVE LEFT NOW AND...

I FEEL TIRED
AND... ANXIOUS.

I DON'T KNOW.

PERHAPS I SHOULD
ACCEPT MISS STACEY'S
OFFER IN KINGSPORT.

I'D LIKE TO
SEE AND HEAR
NEW PLACES.

I COULD GET A WHOLE
BUNCH OF IDEAS I COULD
WRITE STORIES FROM.

RACHEL WAS FEELING
PRETTY DISCOURAGED
TODAY AT THE WEDDING,

HAVING TO MOVE
WEST AND LIVE WITH
HER BY AND ALL.

AND THE THOUGHT CAME
TO ME THAT PERHAPS
I SHOULD ASK HER

TO BOARD WITH
ME INSTEAD OF
THE PICARD GIRL.

I HAVEN'T SAID
ANYTHING TO HER.

I WANTED
YOUR OPINION.

WELL, IT WOULD BE
YOUR DECISION, MARILLA.

BUT ARE YOU SURE?

WELL, SHE HAS HER
FAULTS, I KNOW.

BUT SHE HAS
BEEN MY NEAREST
NEIGHBOUR

FOR 45 YEARS, AND...

I'D RATHER PUT UP WITH
HER THAN LOSE HER.

PLEASE DON'T DO
THIS BECAUSE YOU FEEL
BADLY ON MY ACCOUNT.

OH, STUFF AND NONSENSE.

I CAN BE CIVIL
WITH RACHEL,

AS LONG AS SHE STAYS
OUT OF MY KITCHEN.

WE'LL BE QUITE CAPABLE
OF LOOKING AFTER THE FARM
WITH MR. BARRY'S HELP.

MARILLA...

DO YOU NEVER WISH
YOU'D ADOPTED A BOY

LIKE YOU
INTENDED TO?

I MEAN, HE COULD
HAVE RUN THIS FARM,

AND SAVED YOU
ALL THIS TROUBLE.

ANNE SHIRLEY,
I WOULDN'T TRADE
YOU FOR A DOZEN BOYS.

NOW YOU JUST
MIND THAT.

WAS IT A BOY THAT GOT
THE BACHELOR OF ARTS,

AND WON THE ROLLINGS
RELIABLE STORY CONTEST,

NOW WAS IT?

I'LL MISS YOU.
I'LL MISS MY GIRL.

PROMISE ME
YOU WON'T STAY
AWAY FOREVER.

(music)

I NEVER THOUGHT OF LIVING AS FAR
OFF THE ROAD AS GREEN GABLES,

BUT I... I'D RATHER LIVE AT
THE BOTTOM OF A WELL

THAN LEAVE
AVONLEA.

WELL, I KNOW HOW
GRATEFUL ANNE IS
TO YOU FOR STAYING.

WELL, SHE WAS
ALWAYS ONE TO
LEAP INTO THINGS

WHEN SHE'D
MADE HER MIND
UP TO IT.

IT'S A BLESSING
SHE'S OFF TO A LADIES'
ACADEMY, THAT'S WHAT.

I DON'T APPROVE OF
THEM CO-EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS,

AND I NEVER HAVE.
ALL THE GIRLS

FLIRTING WITH
ALL THE BOYS.

THEY DO STUDY A
LITTLE, RACHEL.

HUMPH. PRECIOUS
LITTLE.

HOWEVER HER PUPILS
WILL BE WELL
ENOUGH BEHAVED,

IF THIS SCHOOL'S
AS WELL-TO-DO
AS SHE CLAIMS.

I CAN'T IMAGINE I'VE
FORGOTTEN A THING.

Anne:
YOU'VE ALL BEEN
SO HELPFUL.

MIND HOW YOU
WERE RAISED NOW,

AND GO TO CHURCH
REGULARLY, ANNE,

AND BE CAREFUL
WHAT FRIENDS
YOU MAKE.

Marilla:
BE SURE TO PUT
ON YOUR WARM
UNDER-CLOTHES

WHEN THE WEATHER
GETS CHILLY.

Rachel:
YES, AND BE CAREFUL
OF YOUR HEALTH
WHATEVER YOU DO.

AND YOU LET US
HEAR FROM YOU WHEN
YOU'VE SETTLED.

Rachel:
GOODBYE, ANNE.
GOODBYE.

MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING'S
WELL TAGGED

WHEN YOU PUT
IT ON THE TRAIN.

DON'T WORRY,
WE'LL TAKE GOOD
CARE OF HER AT
THE STATION.

HURRY UP NOW.
YOU'LL BE LATE.

GOOD LUCK.

GOODBYE,
MARILLA.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'D DO
WITHOUT YOU.

YOU'VE BOTH BEEN
SO WONDERFUL.

BUT I WON'T BE
GONE FOR LONG,

AND I PROMISE
I'll WRITE AS
OFTEN AS I CAN.

GOODBYE.

(music)

WELL, MARILLA,

I NEVER WOULD
HAVE BELIEVED
AN ORPHAN COULD
TURN OUT SO FINE.

NO ONE COULD DENY
SHE'S REAL TALL
AND STYLISH NOW.

NOBODY AT ALL.

Marilla:
I CAN'T HELP
REMEMBERING HER

AS A LITTLE GIRL.

AWFUL HARD I
WAS BEWILDERED,

TRYING TO
MANAGE HER.

MATTHEW UNDERSTOOD
HER BETTER.

WELL, IT'S TO
YOUR CREDIT YOU'VE
CHANGED HER AS
MUCH AS YOU DID.

OH, SHE HASN'T
CHANGED THAT MUCH.

NOT REALLY.

IT'S US THAT'S
CHANGED, RACHEL.

(music)

HOW I'VE LONGED
FOR THIS MOMENT,
DIANA,

AND NOW THAT
IT'S STARING
ME IN THE FACE,

I CAN'T BEAR
THE THOUGHT
OF LEAVING.

WE SAW GIL BLYTHE OFF TO
MEDICAL SCHOOL LAST WEEK.

DID HE... SAY
ANYTHING, DIANA?

I THINK HE
UNDERSTANDS,
ANNE.

(music)

[Chugging of train ]

ANNE?
ANNE SHIRLEY!

OH, THERE
YOU ARE.

OH, MISS STACEY.

IT FEELS
LIKE DECADES.

OH, UP ALL
NIGHT ON THAT
DREADFUL TRAIN,

YOU MUST BE
EXHAUSTED.

OH, I FEEL BROKEN-DOWN
AND GREEN AND PROVINCIAL,

AND ONLY

FOR PITY'S SAKE PLEASE
TAKE ME SOMEPLACE

WHERE I CAN HEAR
MYSELF THINK.

I'VE GOT A CAB
WAITING JUST OUTSIDE.

WHERE ARE YOUR
LUGGAGE TICKETS?

THE DRIVER CAN TAKE
CARE OF YOUR TRUNK.

IF YOU WEREN'T
HERE, MISS STACEY,

I THINK I SHOULD
JUST SIT DOWN AND
BURST INTO TEARS.

WELL, I CAN'T TELL YOU

JUST HOW HAPPY
I AM TO HAVE
YOU HERE, ANNE.

AFTER ALL, WHY BE
A MEMBER OF THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF AN INSTITUTION,

IF YOU CAN'T PULL
A FEW STRINGS?

OH, MISS STACEY,
YOU DIDN'T!

YES, I DID.

(music)

Anne:
I INTEND TO KEEP
UP WITH MY WRITING.

THIS QUAINT OLD
TOWN WILL BE A
WONDERFUL INSPIRATION.

WELL, I THINK
YOUR YOUTH
AND VITALITY

WILL MAKE AN ENORMOUS
CONTRIBUTION TO
OUR LADIES' COLLEGE.

AFTER ALL, YOU
WERE MY PRIZE
PUPIL IN AVONLEA.

Anne:
I'M SO NERVOUS
I WON'T MEET WITH
THEIR EXPECTATIONS.

Miss Stacey:
OH, NONSENSE.

THEY MAY BE PRIVILEGED
YOUNG LADIES FROM
WEALTHY FAMILIES,

BUT THEY'RE SPOILED AND
PAMPERED, MANY OF THEM.

(music)

GREAT JEHOSHAPHAT!
WHAT RICHNESS!

THIS IS FAR
MORE GRACIOUS

THAN I EVER
DREAMED
COULD EXIST.

[ Rapping on door ]

GOOD MORNING,
MA'AM.
GOOD MORNING.

COULD YOU PLEASE
TELL MISS PRINGLE
THAT MISS STACEY

AND MISS ANNE SHIRLEY
ARE HERE TO SEE HER.

I THINK
YOU'LL BE QUITE
COMFORTABLE HERE.

MRS. TOM PRINGLE
IS ON THE ALUMNI.

SHE'S BEEN
BOARDING TEACHERS
FROM KINGSPORT
LADIES' COLLEGE

FOR 30 YEARS NOW.

MISS STACEY,
HOW DELIGHTFUL
TO SEE YOU.

AND YOU,
MRS. PRINGLE.

MAY I INTRODUCE
YOU TO MISS
ANNE SHIRLEY

OF AVONLEA,
PRINCE EDWARD
ISLAND?

HOW DO YOU DO?

SHE'S OUR NEW
ENGLISH TEACHER

AT KINGSPORT
LADIES' COLLEGE,

WHO YOU'LL
BE BOARDING
THIS YEAR.

SHOULD I HAVE
THE CABBY BRING
HER TRUNK?

OBVIOUSLY YOU DID
NOT RECEIVE MY LETTER.

I'M AFRAID I'VE
DECIDED NOT TO TAKE
HER, MISS STACEY.

I'M REALLY
RATHER TIRED OF
BEING BOTHERED

BOARDING STAFF.

MY GIRLS ARE FINISHED,
AS YOU KNOW,

AND I REALLY SPEND
SO LITTLE TIME

WITH THE ALUMNI.

BUT MRS. PRINGLE...

I DO APOLOGIZE FOR
THE INCONVENIENCE.

GOOD DAY, MISS STACEY.

NOT AT ALL.

GOOD DAY.

HOW TYPICALLY
PRINGLE.

AS SMOOTH AS CREAM, EVEN WHEN
THEY'RE WORKING AGAINST YOU.

WELL, WE SHALL
SEE ABOUT
THAT. HMM?

WHAT IS IT,
MISS STACEY?

KINGSPORT IS
FULL OF PRINGLES
AND HALF-PRINGLES.

THEY'RE THE
OLD MONEY THAT
RULES THIS TOWN,

AND MRS. TOM PRINGLE
BOSSES THE WHOLE TRIBE.

I WAS AFRAID
THEY'D BE
DOWN ON YOU.

WHY SHOULD THEY
BE? I'M A TOTAL
STRANGER.

ONE OF THEIR
COUSINS, MISS AMY
PRINGLE BOOTHE,

APPLIED FOR
YOUR POSITION,

AND WAS ABYSMALLY
LESS QUALIFIED,
I MIGHT ADD.

HOWEVER, WHEN THE
BOARD ANNOUNCED

THAT THEY HAD
ACCEPTED YOUR
APPLICATION,

WELL THE WHOLE
KIT AND CABOODLE
OF THEM

JUST THREW BACK
THEIR HEADS
AND HOWLED.

UH, KINGSPORT
LADIES' COLLEGE,
PLEASE, DRIVER.

WELL, THEY'RE
NOT GOING TO GET
AWAY WITH IT.

THEY CAN'T BOYCOTT
THE BOARD'S DECISION.

IT'S UNDEMOCRATIC.

Anne:
I'M NOT SURE I QUITE
ALWAYS TRUST DEMOCRACY.

THEY'VE ALWAYS
RULED THE ROOST
HERE, THE WHOLE
CLAN OF THEM.

POLITICALLY
AND SOCIALLY.

WELL, THEY MAY OWN
THE LUMBER MILL,

THE RAILWAY,
THE GAS WORKS AND
THE WOOLEN MILL,

BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW THE
PRINGLES TO DICTATE OUR
SYSTEM OF EDUCATION.

YOU CAN'T
IMAGINE HOW
NERVOUS I AM NOW.

[Chuckling ]

(music)

MISS KATHANE
BROOKE IS THE
PRINCIPAL HERE.

A BIT OF A
MARTINET IN MATTERS
OF DISCIPLINE,

FROM TIME
TO TIME,
BUT I'M SURE

THAT WE CAN RESOLVE
WHATEVER LITTLE
DIFFERENCES
OF OPINION

THAT MIGHT
ARISE.

(music)

[ Rapping on door ]

COME IN.

GOOD MORNING,
MISS BROOKE.

MISS STACEY.
PLEASE FORGIVE
THE INTRUSION,

BUT I WAS JUST
SO EAGER TO
INTRODUCE YOU

TO OUR NEW
ENGLISH PROFESSOR,
MISS ANNE SHIRLEY.

ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST
STARS OF MY ENTIRE
TEACHING CAREER.

SHE HAS RECENTLY
PUBLISHED A SHORT WORK
OF FICTION AS WELL.

WELCOME TO KINGSPORT,
MISS SHIRLEY.

PLEASE SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU. I'M
VERY PLEASED
TO BE HERE.

MISS STACEY HAS
RECOMMENDED YOU
SO HIGHLY TO US.

I HADN'T EXPECTED
ONE SO ACCOMPLISHED

TO BE SO YOUNG...

A FAULT WHICH TIME
WILL CURE ALL TOO SOON.

MISS BROOKE, THERE SEEMS
TO BE SOME SORT OF MIX-UP

REGARDING MISS SHIRLEY'S
ACCOMMODATIONS,

BUT I WAS SURE THAT
YOU WOULDN'T OBJECT

HAVING HER STAY
HERE AT THE SCHOOL

WITH YOUR
OUT-OF-TOWN
BOARDING
STUDENTS.

I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND
HER TO BE THE PERFECT
DEN-MOTHER FOR THEM.

WE HAVE NO NEED OF
MATERNAL AFFECTATIONS

IN THIS INSTITUTE,
MISS STACEY.

WE GOVERN BY RULES
AND REGULATIONS.

WHICH DO REQUIRE A
LEAVEN IN THE LUMP

FROM TIME TO
TIME, MS BROOKE.

SHALL WE HAVE THE
GROUNDSMAN BRING IN
MISS SHIRLEY'S THINGS?

I'LL HAVE THE MAID
PREPARE HER ROOM.

THANK YOU
SO MUCH.

SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE
SERGEANT-MAJOR,
MISS STACEY.

HOW SHALL I EVER
TOLERATE HER SARCASM?

NONETHELESS SHE IS
A DEDICATED TEACHER,

IF SOMEWHAT OF AN EXCES-
SIVE DISCIPLINARIAN.

YOU JUST KEEP
YOUR CHIN UP,

AND YOU GIVE IT
YOUR VERY BEST,

IF ONLY TO
SPITE THEM ALL.

YOU KNOW HOW HIGHLY
I REGARD YOUR
ABILITIES, ANNE.

I SHALL DO
VERY BEST TO RISE
TO THE OCCASION.

GOOD GIRL.

NOW YOU WANT
TO GET YOURSELF
ORGANIZED

BEFORE THE
START OF CLASSES
TOMORROW.

OH, HO-HO!

OH.
THANK YOU FOR
EVERYTHING,
MISS STACEY.

WE CAN DO THE
REST OF OUR
CATCHING UP LATER.

(music)

IN FUTURE,
MISS SHIRLEY,
YOU WILL
KINDLY REMEMBER

THAT YOU ARE
NOT AT LIBERTY TO
MAKE ANY CHANGES,

NO MATTER HOW MINOR,
TO THE CONVENTIONS
OF THIS INSTITUTION.

I'M SORRY, I...

I WAS JUST
SO MOVED BY YOUR
INSPIRING QUOTATION,

I WANTED TO
EMBELLISH IT.

DON'T PATRONIZE ME.

WHAT IS TO BE THE
PILL IN ALL THIS
JAM, MISS SHIRLEY?

WHY NOTHING. I...

I JUST THOUGHT IT
WAS A TREMENDOUSLY
UPLIFTING IDEA,

THAT'S ALL.

I'M GLAD YOU SPELL
YOUR NAME WITH A "K".

KATHARINE WITH A "K" IS
SO MUCH MORE ALLURING

THAN CATHERINE
WITH A "C".

A "C" ALWAYS
LOOKS SO SMUG.

WE HAVE 50
YOUNG LADIES
IN OUR CHARGE,

FROM THE MOST PRIVILEGED
FAMILIES IN THE MARITIMES.

MY METHODS ADMONISH ANYTHING
BEYOND THE STANDARDS

OF THE UTMOST DECORUM.

THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC
SCHOOL OF THE KIND

THAT YOU ARE USED
TO, MISS SHIRLEY.

OUR STUDENTS
DO NOT REQUIRE
EMBELLISHMENT.

SIMPLE STRAIGHT-
FORWARD ADHERENCE TO
RULES AND REGULATIONS

WHICH I HAVE CLEARLY
DELINEATED FOR YOU,

MISS SHIRLEY.

OUR STUDENTS
ARE DRILLED IN
THEIR STUDIES

AT THE BEGINNING
OF EACH CLASS.

BEDTIME AND MEALTIME
WILL BE STRICTLY OBSERVED
BY OUR 15 BOARDERS.

YOU,
MISS SHIRLEY,
WILL SEE TO IT

THAT THE BOARDERS ESPECIALLY

ADHERE TO THE
UTMOST ORDERLINESS.

I AM PLACING
THEM UNDER
YOUR CONTINUAL
DIRECTION.

I AM
REFERRED TO

BY THE ENTIRE
FACULTY AS BROOKE.

YOU MAY DO THE SAME.

YES, MISS BROOKE.

I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE
EXTRAORDINARY TALENTS.

I LOOK FORWARD
TO OBSERVING THEM.

I AM GLAD I MEET
WITH YOUR APPROVAL
IN SOME APPROXIMATION.

WE SHALL SEE.

YOU ARE HERE AS A
RESULT OF THE BOARD'S
DECISION, NOT MINE.

[Jangling of electric bell ]

FOR A COUNTRY-
SCHOOL MA'RM,
YOU'LL FIND

THAT WE ARE
EQUIPPED WITH
THE MOST MODERN
EFFICIENCIES,

DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS
FINANCIAL SUPPORT

OF CERTAIN PROMINENT FAMILIES.

Girls:

WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR.

I TRUST YOU GIRLS
ARE READY TO DRIVE
INTO THE FIRST SESSION
WITH DETERMINATION.

YOU ALL KNOW MISS McKay,
MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE,

MISS KERR, HISTORY
AND GEOGRAPHY,

AND MISS SHIRLEY WILL
BE YOUR NEW TEACHER,

RESPONSIBLE FOR
ENGLISH AND LITERATURE,

AS WELL AS ALL
STUDENT BOARDERS.

MISS SHIRLEY
WILL BE LIVING IN
THE SCHOOL WITH US,

AND WILL HAVE DIRECT
SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY.

LET US GET TO WORK THEN,

WITH NO NONSENSE.

PLEASE ORGANIZE
YOURSELVES INTO FORMS.

[ Blasting of whistle]

FORM ONE, DO YOU CALL
THAT A STRAIGHT LINE?

EMMELINE HARRIS...

STEP FORWARD.

IF YOU INTEND TO
MAKE A HABIT OF THIS,

I WILL HAVE NO
CHOICE BUT TO DETAIN
YOU AFTER CLASS.

STEP BACK.

LEARN TO RESPOND TO SIGNALS ON
THE ELECTRIC BELL AS WELL.

I'D MUCH PREFER TO INVENT
TITLES FOR EACH GROUP,

LIKE A
SORORITY.

WHAT ABOUT...

TUDOR, KENT AND WINDSOR?

I AM NOT INTERESTED
IN FAIRY TALES.

YOU MUST LEARN TO USE
THE MODERN CONVENIENCES

OF OUR SYSTEM.

AT RECESS, I
WILL EMPLOY THE
ELECTRIC BELL.

[ Blasting of whistles ]

YOUR ROOM IS
DOWN THE HALL,
FIRST DOOR.

[ Blasting of whistle]

PERHAPS YOU THINK
YOU ARE ABOVE RULES,
MISS SHIRLEY?

Girls:
[Giggling ]

Anne:
[Clearing of throat ]

WELL... OFF
YOU GO, GIRLS.

[Giggling/chattering ]

Anne:
PLEASE, GIRLS.

QUIET PLEASE.

GOOD MORNING.

[Clearing of throat ]

I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN
BY SHARING WITH YOU

WHAT A GREAT PRIVILEGE
IT WOULD BE FOR ME

TO SHARE WITH YOU... UH!

Girls:
[ Laughing nastily]

OH, BLAST!
[Groan of pain ]

...TO SHARE WITH
YOU MY GREAT LOVE OF
ENGLISH LITERATURE

DURING THE
FORTHCOMING YEAR.

LET'S HOPE I'M A LITTLE
LIGHTER ON SHAKESPEARE

THAN I AM ON MY FEET.

[Clearing of throat ]

[ Snapping of chalk]

NEVER MIND.

I HAD A SPEECH PREPARED,

BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM VERY
IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW.

MY NAME IS ANNE SHIRLEY,

AND I KNOW WE SHALL
ALL BECOME GOOD
FRIENDS IN NO TIME.

Girls: [Chanting ]
7 TIMES 2 IS 14.
7 TIMES 3 IS 21.

7 TIMES 4 IS 28.
7 TIMES 5 IS...

I COME ROM A LITTLE
TOWN CALLED AVONLEA ON
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND,

WHERE I HAVE BEEN
TEACHING FOR THE
PAST TWO YEARS.

SO THIS IS MY FIRST
TIME IN A PRIVATE
SCHOOL POSITION.

AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL
ALL BE ABLE TO GIVE ME
LOTS OF ASSISTANCE.

NOW... WHEN I CALL
OUT YOUR NAME,

ANSWER "HERE".

PRINGLE, MYRA C.

PRINGLE, REBECCA A.

AREN'T THESE YOUR NAMES?

NO, MISS, PERHAPS
THE CLASS LISTS
HAVE BEEN MIXED UP.

Girls:
[Giggling ]

OH, ALL RIGHT,

GIVE ME YOUR NAMES
THEN, ONE AT A TIME,

STARTING HERE, THE YOUNG
LADY IN THE FRONT ROW.

LAST NAME FIRST, AND AGE.

OPPENER,
FANNY I. OPPENER.

THERE ARE TWO "Ps" IN OPPENER.

14.

GIRDLE, MYRTLE N. GIRDLE.

14.

HEIND. THAT'S H-E-I-N-D.

ALICE B. HEIND. 14.

BALL. WILMA I. BALL.

33.

ACTUALLY I'M FROM
THE ROLLINGS RELIABLE
BAKING COMPANY,

AND WE WERE WONDERING
WHEN YOU'D BE AVAILABLE

TO REWRITE OUR LABELS.

THAT'S ENOUGH!

I HADN'T ANTICIPATED A CLASS

WHOSE PARENTS WERE
SUCH NITWITS AT
NAMING THEIR CHILDREN.

HARRIS.
EMMELINE HARRIS. 13.

AND DON'T BELIEVE ANY
OF THEM, MISS SHIRLEY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THEY'RE JUST PULLING
YOUR LEG BECAUSE
THEY'RE PRINGLES,

AND THEY THINK THEY
CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.

OLD TELESCOPE-EYES HERE
WOULDN'T KNOW A PRINGLE

IF SHE WERE FACE-
TO-FACE WITH ONE.

Girls:
[ Laughing nastily]

SINCE MISSES
FANNY EYEOPPENER,
MYRTLE ENGIRDLE,

ALICE BEHEIND AND
WILMA EYEBALL FIND THEM-
SELVES SO TERRIBLY WITTY,

THEY WILL WRITE
OUT AN ACCURATE
CLASS LIST 100 TIMES,

TODAY AFTER CLASSES,
FOR MY BENEFIT.

NOW, OPEN YOUR
READERS, PLEASE.

[ Screaming ]

Girls:
[ Screaming ]

[Quavering ]
PLEASE...

M-M-MISS SHIRLEY...

[ Screaming continues ]

Girl:
OH, MISS SHIRLEY,
HELP HER.

[ Murmurs of concern ]

Anne:
EMMELINE HARRIS,

TAKE THIS GIRL TO
THE LADIES' ROOM.

SOAK THE HANDKERCHIEF
IN COLD WATER

AND SEE IF YOU CAN
STOP THE BLEEDING.

Girls:
[Chatter/laughter]

[ Blasting of whistle]

ALL RIGHT. ALL OF
YOU SIT DOWN NOW!

AND REMAIN SEATED.

WHO PUT THE SNAKE
IN MY DESK?

WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?

JEN PRINGLE,
MISS SHIRLEY.

WAS IT YOU, JEN PRINGLE?

YES, IT WAS.

YOU WILL BE DETAINED
AFTER CLASSES TODAY...

AND EVERY DAY FOR
THE ENTIRE WEEK.

[ Murmurs of reaction ]

NOW, PLEASE, OPEN
YOUR THIRD FORM
READERS, CLASS.

I CAN'T, MISS SHIRLEY.

MY MOTHER EXPECTS ME
FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS

AT THE LADIES' AID
SOCIETY RUMMAGE SALE.

WELL, I'M SORRY BUT YOUR
MOTHER WILL HAVE TO MAKE
OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.

BUT SHE'S PROMISED
MY HELP ON THE ORGAN-
IZATION COMMITTEE.

I DON'T CARE.

YOU'LL STAY IF I SAY SO.

I SIMPLY CANNOT STAY.

I'M SORRY.

WELL THEN, IT'S
UP TO YOU, ISN'T
IT, JEN PRINGLE?

EITHER YOU STAY AFTER
SCHOOL FOR THE WEEK...

OR I'LL HAVE TO
MINISTER THE STRAP.

Myra:
YOU JUST CAN'T DO
THAT, MISS SHIRLEY.

[ Mixed whispers ]

I'LL TAKE THE STRAP.

REALLY?

[Clearing of throat ]

COME HERE THEN,
MISS PRINGLE.

PUT OUT YOUR HAND.

[ Impact of strap on hand ]

(music)

OPEN YOUR READERS, CLASS,

AND PLEASE LOOK AT
THE FIRST CHAPTER FOR
THE REST OF THE PERIOD.

(music)

[Jangling of electric bell ]

Girls:
[Chattering ]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, ESSIE?

I'M AFRAID I'M NOT VERY
GOOD AROUND REPTILES.

NEITHER AM I.

YOU'LL GET
USED TO ESSIE,
MISS SHIRLEY.

SHE FAINTS AT
LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

THE DOCTORS
SAY HER BLOOD
IS WEAK.

THANK YOU, EMMELINE.

DON'T CONCERN
YOURSELF ABOUT THE
PRINGLE GIRLS EITHER.

THE ONLY PEOPLE THEY
LIKE ARE THEMSELVES.

I CAN SAY THAT
WITHOUT MALICE,

BECAUSE MY MOTHER
WAS A PRINGLE.

BESIDES, I LIKE YOU,

AND I THINK YOU
HANDLED THE CLASS
VERY INTELLIGENTLY.

(music)

[Twittering of birds ]

[ Mixed chattering ]

YOU TRAITOR,
HARRIS.

I GUESS THERE
ARE ONLY TWO
KINDS OF PEOPLE
IN KINGSPORT;

THOSE WHO
ARE PRINGLES
AND THOSE
WHO AREN'T.

SHUT UP, JEN.

I DON'T CARE A
SNIT WHAT YOU SAY.

I'M HALF-PRINGLE.

HUH, YOUR MOTHER
DIDN'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH
TO MAKE YOU ANYTHING.

AND MY PAPA
SAYS YOUR PAPA

IS THE GREATEST
PHILANDERER IN
THIS COUNTRY,

SO THAT
PRACTICALLY
MAKES YOU
AN ORPHAN.

Emmeline/Essie:
[Yelps of distress ]

DON'T YOU DARE
EVER SAY ANOTHER
WORD ABOUT MY
FATHER AGAIN.

YOU STUPID, GOOD-FOR-
NOTHING GOOSE-EGG.

[ Mixed shouting ]

HE'S A BRUTE,
AND MY PAPA
SAYS SO.

LET'S SEE HOW
BIG YOUR MOUTH IS
NOW, JEN PRINGLE.

[ Squealing ]

[ Mixed shouting ]

OH, MY GLASSES!

STOP IT!

[ Blasting of whistle]

THAT IS ENOUGH!

ON YOUR... GET UP THERE.

STAND UP.

HAVE YOU GIRLS
NO PROPRIETY?

THIS IS NOT
TURKISH BAZAAR.

THEY TRIED TO RUN ME
DOWN ON THAT BICYCLE.

YOU LITTLE LIAR!

SHE THREW HER CROQUET
MALLET IN THE WHEEL

AND TRIPPED US.

DIDN'T SHE,
ESSIE?

I DID NOT, YOU BEAST!

SHE ATTACKED ME.

STOP IT!

I HAVE A GOOD MIND
TO EXPEL YOU BOTH
FOR SUCH HOOLIGANISM.

BICYCLES ARE FORBIDDEN
ON SCHOOL PROPERTY.

THIS CONTRAPTION
IS CONFISCATED
AS OF THIS MOMENT.

BUT, MISS BROOKE, THE
BICYCLE ISN'T MINE.

IT'S MY BROTHER'S.

HE OUGHT NOT TO
HAVE BEEN SO FOOLISH

AS TO HAVE ENTRUSTED
IT TO YOU.

IT HARDLY SEEMS FAIR TO
BE PUNISHING HER BROTHER.

YES, MISS BROOKE,
I THINK...

DO YOU NOT UNDER-
STAND ENGLISH?

Miss Brooke:
NOW I WANT YOU TWO
GIRLS TO APOLOGIZE
TO EACH OTHER,

AND BEHAVE LIKE
PROPER YOUNG LADIES.

I AM QUITE
PREPARED TO
FORGIVE YOUR
LACK OF MANNERS.

AND I YOUR
RUDE COMMENTS.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

WELL, DON'T STAND THERE
LIKE PIGEONS, GIRLS.

GO ALONG.

IF YOU ALLOW AN
OUTBURST LIKE THAT
TO OCCUR AGAIN,
MISS SHIRLEY,

YOU SHALL HAVE
THE BOARD TO
RECKON WITH.

LOCK THIS IN THE SHED, McTAVISH.

GO ALONG,
GIRLS,
DON'T GAWK.

(music)

LOOKING FOR THESE?

JEN!

I'M SORRY ABOUT
YOUR SPECTACLES.

WE'LL GET THEM REPLACED.

IT'S NOT THAT.

IT'S WHAT SHE SAID
ABOUT MY PAPA.

JUST YOU FORGET ABOUT
WHATEVER THEY SAID.

THERE'S NOT AN OUNCE
OF TRUTH IN IT.

WE WON'T LET
IT SPOIL THE
AFTERNOON.

WE DIDN'T
GET YOU INTO
TROUBLE,

DID WE,
MISS SHIRLEY?

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT ME.

BROOKE'S JUST
AN OLD BATTLE-
AXE ANYWAY.

DON'T TELL
ANYBODY I
SAID THAT.

I ALMOST FAINTED
WHEN I SAW HER COME
ACROSS THE LAWN.

WELL, SHE'LL COOL OFF
IN A FEW DAYS AND...

THEN I'LL GET
YOUR BROTHER'S
BICYCLE BACK.

COME ALONG, AND
DON'T YOU GIVE
IT ANOTHER WORRY.

Essie:
YOU SHOULD
HAVE SEEN HER

WITH HER MOUTH
FULL OF MUD,
MISS SHIRLEY.

THAT'S THE BEST
JEN PRINGLE'S
LOOKED IN A
LONG TIME.

[ Knocking on door ]

ALL RIGHT, I'M
TURNING MY LIGHT
OUT NOW, MISS BROOKE.

[ Knocking on door ]

Emmeline:
MISS SHIRLEY?

EMMELINE!
OH, MISS SHIRLEY,
YOU'VE GOT TO HELP US.

ESSIE'S BROTHER
NEEDS THE BICYCLE
IN THE MORNING

FOR HIS
DELIVERY
JOB, OR HE'LL
BE FIRED,

AND HE'S READY
TO MURDER ESS.

WE CAN'T GET THE
SHED DOORS OPEN.

OH, SHE'S
AWFUL SCARED,

AND I'M AFRAID
SHE'LL FAINT.

HEAVEN PRESERVE US FROM
MISS BROOKE IF SHE DOES.

MR. McTAVISH,
THE GROUNDSMAN,
KEEPS HIS TOOLS
IN HERE.

MAYBE WE COULD SAW THE
CHAIN OR PICK THE LOCK.

STOP WHIMPERING, ESSIE.

EMMELINE, DO YOU THINK
YOU COULD SQUEEZE THROUGH
THAT SKYLIGHT UP ABOVE?

UH-HUH, IF I
HAD A LADDER.

COME ALONG. I'VE
GOT A BETTER IDEA.

(music)

ALL RIGHT, YOU
GO DOWN FIRST,
AND I'll SHIMMY
DOWN AFTER YOU.

I'M FRIGHTENED.
I'M GOING
TO FAINT.

OH, JUST HANG
ON ANOTHER
MOMENT, ESSIE,
AND YOU CAN.

IF ANYONE
CATCHES US, YOU
DON'T OPPOSE
THEY'LL THINK

WE'RE TRYING
TO STEAL ANY-
THING, DO YOU,
MISS SHIRLEY?

OUR MOTIVES
ARE HARDLY
IDLE CURIOSITY.

Emmeline:
ALL RIGHT.

UNTIE THE END,
ESSIE, AND
THROW IT DOWN.

[Whimpering ]

Essie:
I DON'T THINK
YOU SHOULD
DO THIS.

OH, I HOPE
THE SKYLIGHT'S
NOT LOCKED,
MISS SHIRLEY.

WE'RE IN LUCK.
MR. McTAVISH HAS AN ARMY
OF TOOLS DOWN HERE.

GOOD, NOW IF
WE CAN JUST...
[Yelping ]

OH, MISS SHIRLEY!

[ Shrieking ]

BED SHEETS!

WELL NOW, ANNE SHIRLEY,
WHERE'S THE FIRE?

[Groan of despair]

[Jangling of electric bell ]

Anne:
GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

[Clearing of throat ]
GOOD MORNING.

[ Mixed whispers ]

GOOD MORNING, CLASS.

Girls:
[ Snickering ]

REALLY, GIRLS,

IF YOU CAN'T COME
UP WITH A BETTER
LIKENESS THAN THAT,

I SUGGEST YOU
GIVE UP ALTOGETHER.

OPEN YOUR OXFORD BOOK
OF VERSE, PAGE 223.

TENNYSON'S
"THE LADY OF SHALOTT".

EMMELINE, WOULD YOU
PLEASE READ THE FIRST
FOUR VERSES FOR US?

THEN WE'LL
DISCUSS THEM.

My:
MY, MY,

WHOSE APPLE ARE
WE POLISHING NOW?

LET'S HITCH OUR WAGON
TO A STAR, GIRLS.

Girls:
[Giggling ]

WILLOWS WHITEN,
ASPENS QUIVER.

LITTLE BREEZES
DUSK AND SHIVER.

THROUGH THE WAVE
THAT RUNS FOREVER,

FLOWING DOWN TO CAMELOT.

[ Opening of door]

WHY ARE YOU LATE?

MY MOTHER INSISTED
ON KEEPING MY
MAID THIS MORNING.

I HAD NO ONE TO
DARN MY STOCKINGS.

KINGSPORT LADIES'
COLLEGE DOES NOT
TOLERATE TARDINESS,

NOR DO I.

TAKE OUT YOUR
DICTIONARY,

AND COPY OUT THE
ENTIRE "A" SECTION.

YOU WILL HAVE TO CATCH
UP ON THIS CLASS LATER.

THERE SHE KEPT
HER VIGIL ONLY,

WAITING IN HER
CHAMBER LONELY,

AND LOOKED DOWN
TO CAMELOT.

REAPERS REAPING
FIELDS OF BARLEY...

ARE YOU TRYING
TO TELL ME
THAT EMMELINE

IS SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR
THIS MISCONDUCT?

I AM NOT TRYING TO
TELL YOU ANYTHING

OTHER THAN THAT
YOUR DAUGHTER

HAS AN OVERT DISREGARD
FOR REGULATIONS.

STEALING IS
STEALING.

I DON'T SEE
HOW YOU CAN
PRETEND IT TO
BE OTHERWISE.

THIS INCIDENT IS THE
TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

I BELIEVE SHE REQUIRES
REMEDIAL DISCIPLINE.

I WANT THAT TEACHER
RAKED OVER THE COALS
AS WELL THEN.

I'D LIKE NOTHING
BETTER, CAPTAIN HARRIS,

BUT THAT WILL BE FOR
THE BOARD TO DECIDE.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY
CLEAR, MISS BROOKE.

I WILL NOT
ALLOW EMMELINE...

TO BE EXPELLED
FROM ANY SCHOOL.

I AM WITH-
DRAWING BOTH
MY DAUGHTER

AND MY FINANCIAL
SUPPORT FROM THIS SECOND-
RATE INSTITUTION...

IMMEDIATELY.

YOU CAN RECKON
WITH THE BOARD
OF GOVERNORS.

THERE SHE WEAVES
BY NIGHT AND DAY,

A MAGIC WEB
OF COLOURS GAY.

SHE HAS HEARD
A WHISPER SAY,

"CURSES ON HER
IF SHE STAY

TO LOOK DOWN ON CAMELOT."

Myra/Jen:
[Giggling ]

I HAVE WARNED YOU TWO
ABOUT FOOD IN CLASS.

BRING THAT PARCEL
HERE, MYRA.

BRING THAT PARCEL HERE.

THROW IT IN THE STOVE.

ARE YOU SURE YOU REALLY
WANT ME TO DO THIS?

MYRA, OBEY ME AT ONCE.

Girl:
WHY IS SHE
RUNNING?

[ Screaming ]

RUN, GIRLS!

GIRLS, RUN!

[ Screaming ]

RUN, GIRLS!

Essie:
NO!

RUN!

MY SKIRT
IS CAUGHT.

[ Moan of fainting ]

Girls:
[ Screaming ]

[Coughing ]

Captain Harris:
EMMELINE!

PAPA! PAPA!

PAPA, YOU CAME.

MARCH STRAIGHT OUT TO THE
CAR, YOUNG LADY, AND...

AND TAKE OFF
THOSE RIDICULOUS-
LOOKING SPECTACLES.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE WEARING
THEM, OTHER THAN FOR READING.

[Jangling of electric bell ]

Miss Brooke:
SHUT THAT BLASTED
ALARM BELL OFF.

THIS IS
MY TEACHER,
MISS SHIRLEY.

Captain Harris:
MISS SHIRLEY,
IS IT?

WE'VE MET BEFORE,
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

YES, SIR,
I REMEMBER.

[ Soft moan ]

COME ON, ESSIE.

WHAT IN THE DEVIL
HAVE YOU DONE NOW?

Captain Harris:
MISS SHIRLEY'S GOT
THE ENTIRE ACADEMY

AWAITING YOUR REMEDIAL
DISCIPLINE, MISS BROOKE.

I'M QUITE POSITIVE YOU'LL
ENJOY THE CHALLENGE.

EMMELINE,
COME ALONG.

YOU'RE LEAVING THIS
FOURTH-RATE INSTITUTION
ONCE AND FOR ALL.

[ Sigh of exasperation ]

Miss McKay:
GIRLS, GIRLS, GET AWAY
FROM THAT AUTO CAR.
