Anne Shirley : What sort of people will I be
living with from now on?
(0:00:03.70)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : The Cuthberts, a brother and sister. (0:00:07.51)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Their homestead is called Green Gables,
and it's surrounded by big trees.
(0:00:12.12)
Anne Shirley : How wonderful! I adore trees. (0:00:19.42)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Don't worry. (0:00:24.16)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Be a good girl, and they're sure to keep you. (0:00:26.10)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : You don't want to go back to
the orphan asylum, do you?
(0:00:30.30)
Anne Shirley : No. (0:00:32.99)
Anne Shirley : Green Gables is on
Prince Edward Island!
(0:00:35.63)
Anne Shirley : I've heard it's the prettiest
place in the world!
(0:00:38.88)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : What are you doing? (0:00:45.14)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Hurry along! (0:00:46.67)
Anne Shirley : Oh, sorry! (0:00:47.81)
Anne Shirley : I can't believe it! (0:00:49.63)
Anne Shirley : I'm really going to live on
an island blooming with flowers!
(0:00:51.61)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Excuse me! Stationmaster! (0:01:11.04)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : May this child wait in the station house?
Mr. Cuthbert will come for her soon.
(0:01:15.56)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Be a good girl and wait. (0:01:23.38)
Anne Shirley : Oh, Mrs. Spencer, how can
I possibly thank you?
(0:01:26.32)
Anne Shirley : If you don't mind... (0:01:39.21)
Matthew Cuthbert : Stationmaster. (0:02:03.43)
Matthew Cuthbert : Where's the train? (0:02:06.52)
Anne Shirley : Excuse me! (0:02:22.86)
Anne Shirley : Are you Mr. Cuthbert? (0:02:23.95)
Matthew Cuthbert : I... I am. (0:02:25.85)
Anne Shirley : I'm very glad to meet you! (0:02:27.02)
Anne Shirley : I was afraid you weren't coming, (0:02:29.03)
Anne Shirley : and then I imagined
what might have happened!
(0:02:31.83)
Anne Shirley : I decided I'd spend the night in that
big cherry tree if you didn't come today.
(0:02:35.38)
Anne Shirley : I wouldn't be a bit afraid, (0:02:41.76)
Anne Shirley : and it would be lovely to sleep (0:02:44.05)
Anne Shirley : in a wild cherry-tree all white with
bloom in the moonshine, don't you think?
(0:02:46.35)
Anne Shirley : And I was quite sure you would come for
me tomorrow if you couldn't today!
(0:02:50.46)
Matthew Cuthbert : I'm sorry I was late. (0:02:59.74)
Matthew Cuthbert : The buggy's over... (0:03:03.29)
Matthew Cuthbert : Oh, I'll take your bag. (0:03:05.16)
Anne Shirley : That's fine. I can carry it. (0:03:06.52)
Anne Shirley : It's all my worldly goods,
but it isn't heavy!
(0:03:08.95)
Anne Shirley : Oh, I'll be living with
you from now on, won't I?
(0:03:12.35)
Marilla Cuthbert : Ah, Rachel. (0:03:28.17)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : I saw Matthew riding out earlier. (0:03:29.45)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : Is he going to the doctor's? (0:03:32.03)
Marilla Cuthbert : No, to the station. (0:03:34.49)
Marilla Cuthbert : We're getting a little boy
from an orphan asylum.
(0:03:37.38)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : Are you in earnest, Marilla? (0:03:41.33)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : You've never raised a child! (0:03:43.13)
Marilla Cuthbert : We've been thinking
about it for some time.
(0:03:44.90)
Marilla Cuthbert : Matthew is getting up in years,
and it's desperate hard to get hired help.
(0:03:47.54)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : Marilla! To think you'd do
such a mighty foolish thing,
(0:03:51.95)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : bringing a strange child
into your house and home!
(0:03:55.71)
Marilla Cuthbert : With discipline, I daresay
he'll turn out all right.
(0:03:58.10)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : One orphan asylum girl put strychnine
in the well. I read it in the paper!
(0:04:01.25)
Marilla Cuthbert : No fear of that! (0:04:06.47)
Marilla Cuthbert : We're getting a boy, (0:04:08.28)
Marilla Cuthbert : not a girl. (0:04:10.17)
Anne Shirley : Mr. Cuthbert, Mr. Cuthbert. (0:04:14.84)
Anne Shirley : What does that tree—the white and lacy one
leaning out from the bank—make you think of?
(0:04:17.43)
Matthew Cuthbert : I dunno. (0:04:22.53)
Anne Shirley : A bride, of course! (0:04:24.14)
Anne Shirley : A bride all in white with
a lovely, misty veil.
(0:04:25.71)
Anne Shirley : Aren't these roads funny? (0:04:32.02)
Anne Shirley : What makes them red? (0:04:34.71)
Matthew Cuthbert : Well now, I dunno. (0:04:36.63)
Anne Shirley : Well, that is one of the
things to find out sometime.
(0:04:39.96)
Anne Shirley : Isn't it splendid to think of
everything there is to know?
(0:04:43.59)
Anne Shirley : It just makes me feel glad to be alive. (0:04:46.97)
Anne Shirley : It's such an interesting world. (0:04:50.88)
Anne Shirley : It wouldn't be half as interesting
if we knew all about everything.
(0:04:58.81)
Anne Shirley : There'd be no scope for imagination. (0:05:03.02)
Anne Shirley : Am I talking too much? (0:05:04.83)
Anne Shirley : I can stop when I make up my mind to it. (0:05:07.04)
Matthew Cuthbert : I don't mind. (0:05:10.27)
Anne Shirley : Oh, I know you and I are going
to get along just fine!
(0:05:12.94)
Anne Shirley : People laugh at me
because I use big words.
(0:05:18.25)
Anne Shirley : But if you have big ideas you have to use
big words to express them, don't you think?
(0:05:22.17)
Matthew Cuthbert : That seems reasonable. (0:05:28.47)
Anne Shirley : I heard your place is named Green Gables. (0:05:32.57)
Anne Shirley : Is there a brook anywhere near it? (0:05:37.61)
Matthew Cuthbert : There's one right below the house. (0:05:40.43)
Anne Shirley : Fancy! It's always been one of
my dreams to live near a brook.
(0:05:43.43)
Anne Shirley : Right now, I feel pretty
nearly perfectly happy.
(0:05:47.93)
Anne Shirley : But I can never feel
exactly perfectly happy.
(0:05:51.49)
Anne Shirley : What color would you call this? (0:05:55.32)
Matthew Cuthbert : It's red, ain't it? (0:05:57.76)
Anne Shirley : Yes. Now you see, don't you? (0:05:59.84)
Anne Shirley : I can imagine my skinniness away,
but not that red hair.
(0:06:02.01)
Anne Shirley : "Now my hair is a glorious,
wavy black!" I tell myself...
(0:06:07.59)
Anne Shirley : But I know it's just plain red. (0:06:16.30)
Anne Shirley : Mr. Cuthbert? (0:06:24.83)
Anne Shirley : Mr. Cuthbert! Mr. Cuthbert! (0:06:26.41)
Matthew Cuthbert : I guess you're getting
to feeling pretty hungry.
(0:06:51.51)
Anne Shirley : Mr. Cuthbert, that white place we
came through—what was it?
(0:06:55.73)
Matthew Cuthbert : You must mean the Avenue. (0:07:01.17)
Matthew Cuthbert : It is kind of pretty. (0:07:03.94)
Anne Shirley : Oh, "pretty" doesn't go far enough. (0:07:06.03)
Anne Shirley : Nor beautiful, either. (0:07:09.18)
Anne Shirley : It's the first thing I ever saw
that imagination couldn't improve.
(0:07:10.74)
Anne Shirley : They shouldn't call that
lovely place the Avenue.
(0:07:16.02)
Anne Shirley : How about the White Way of Delight? (0:07:20.44)
Anne Shirley : Isn't that a nice, poetic name? (0:07:23.18)
Matthew Cuthbert : Sure. (0:07:25.51)
Anne Shirley : Other people may call that place the Avenue, (0:07:27.09)
Anne Shirley : but I shall always call it
the White Way of Delight.
(0:07:31.16)
Anne Shirley : What's that? (0:07:36.15)
Matthew Cuthbert : That's Barry's pond. (0:07:37.02)
Anne Shirley : I shall call it... (0:07:39.71)
Anne Shirley : the Lake of Shining Waters. (0:07:41.48)
Anne Shirley : What a jolly sound. (0:07:47.03)
Anne Shirley : I love the way the wheels rumble. (0:07:48.42)
Anne Shirley : Isn't it splendid there
are so many things to like?
(0:07:52.54)
Matthew Cuthbert : Home's just over this hill. (0:07:58.65)
Anne Shirley : Oh, I'm so happy, but I'm sad too. (0:08:02.42)
Anne Shirley : Our wonderful ride is nearly over. (0:08:05.29)
Matthew Cuthbert : There. You can see it now. (0:08:09.80)
Matthew Cuthbert : That's Green Gables over— (0:08:12.23)
Anne Shirley : Wait! Let me guess. (0:08:14.07)
Anne Shirley : There! (0:08:28.03)
Anne Shirley : That's it, isn't it? (0:08:29.03)
Matthew Cuthbert : Yes, you've guessed it. (0:08:30.87)
Anne Shirley : As soon as I saw it, I felt it was home. (0:08:34.29)
Anne Shirley : Oh, it seems as if I must be in a dream! (0:08:37.43)
Anne Shirley : That's going to be my home, isn't it? (0:08:40.77)
Marilla Cuthbert : Where is the boy? (0:09:14.52)
Marilla Cuthbert : Who's that? (0:09:18.02)
Marilla Cuthbert : Matthew! (0:09:21.72)
Matthew Cuthbert : There wasn't any boy. (0:09:22.88)
Matthew Cuthbert : There was only her . (0:09:25.03)
Marilla Cuthbert : But why? (0:09:27.04)
Matthew Cuthbert : I don't know. A mistake came in somewhere. (0:09:28.32)
Matthew Cuthbert : But I couldn't leave her there,
even if it was a mistake.
(0:09:32.79)
Marilla Cuthbert : Good heavens. (0:09:39.78)
Anne Shirley : You don't want me! (0:09:42.72)
Anne Shirley : I might have expected it! (0:09:44.46)
Anne Shirley : All because I'm not a boy. (0:09:47.37)
Anne Shirley : It was all too beautiful. (0:09:49.28)
Anne Shirley : I might have known it wouldn't last. (0:09:51.98)
Anne Shirley : Nobody ever did want me. (0:09:55.36)
Anne Shirley : I've never had anybody waiting for me. (0:09:59.21)
Anne Shirley : Oh, what shall I do? (0:10:03.00)
Marilla Cuthbert : Well, well, there's no
need to cry about it.
(0:10:11.03)
Anne Shirley : Yes, there is! (0:10:14.12)
Anne Shirley : If you were an orphan and had come to a
place you thought was going to be home,
(0:10:15.16)
Anne Shirley : only for them to say, "Who's that?
We don't want her because she isn't a boy."
(0:10:19.80)
Anne Shirley : You would cry, too! (0:10:24.06)
Marilla Cuthbert : Well, don't cry any more. (0:10:31.02)
Marilla Cuthbert : We're not going to turn
you out-of-doors tonight.
(0:10:32.90)
Marilla Cuthbert : What's your name? (0:10:36.11)
Anne Shirley : Will you please call me Cordelia? (0:10:38.73)
Marilla Cuthbert : Cordelia? Is that your name? (0:10:42.73)
Anne Shirley : No, but I would love to be called Cordelia. (0:10:45.94)
Anne Shirley : It's such a perfectly elegant name. (0:10:48.40)
Marilla Cuthbert : I don't know what you mean. (0:10:54.12)
Anne Shirley : Please do call me Cordelia! (0:10:55.66)
Marilla Cuthbert : What's your real name? (0:10:58.09)
Anne Shirley : Anne. (0:10:59.93)
Anne Shirley : Anne Shirley. (0:11:00.93)
Marilla Cuthbert : Anne. A good, plain, sensible name. (0:11:02.92)
Anne Shirley : It's so unromantic. (0:11:05.39)
Anne Shirley : If you do call me Anne, (0:11:07.62)
Anne Shirley : please call me Anne spelled with an e . (0:11:08.94)
Marilla Cuthbert : What difference does it
make how it's spelled?
(0:11:14.29)
Anne Shirley : Such a difference. It looks
so much more distinguished.
(0:11:16.94)
Marilla Cuthbert : Tell me, then, Anne spelled with an e . (0:11:20.63)
Marilla Cuthbert : Were there no boys at the asylum? (0:11:24.88)
Anne Shirley : There were, but Mrs. Spencer
said that you wanted a girl.
(0:11:27.73)
Anne Shirley : Why didn't you tell me at the
station that you didn't want me?!
(0:11:35.37)
Anne Shirley : It wouldn't be so hard if I hadn't
seen the White Way of Delight
(0:11:39.10)
Anne Shirley : and the Lake of Shining Waters! (0:11:43.38)
Marilla Cuthbert : What on earth is she talking about? (0:11:47.69)
Matthew Cuthbert : She... She's just referring to
some conversation we had on the road.
(0:11:49.81)
Matthew Cuthbert : She must be hungry.
Would you get supper ready?
(0:11:57.18)
Marilla Cuthbert : You're not eating anything. (0:12:05.06)
Anne Shirley : I'm in the depths of despair. (0:12:07.37)
Anne Shirley : Can you eat when you are
in the depths of despair?
(0:12:09.90)
Marilla Cuthbert : I can't say. (0:12:12.64)
Marilla Cuthbert : I've never been in the depths of despair. (0:12:15.34)
Anne Shirley : Did you ever try to imagine you were? (0:12:18.82)
Marilla Cuthbert : No. (0:12:21.17)
Anne Shirley : Then I don't think you can
understand what it's like.
(0:12:22.13)
Anne Shirley : When you try to eat, a lump goes
in your throat, and you...
(0:12:24.56)
Marilla Cuthbert : I suppose you have a nightgown? (0:12:29.92)
Anne Shirley : Y-Yes. (0:12:31.74)
Anne Shirley : It's fearfully skimpy. (0:12:33.37)
Anne Shirley : But one can dream just as
well in any nightgown.
(0:12:35.30)
Anne Shirley : That's one consolation. (0:12:39.60)
Marilla Cuthbert : No more chatter. (0:12:40.53)
Marilla Cuthbert : Undress as quick as you can and go to bed. (0:12:43.13)
Marilla Cuthbert : Really. She just threw them on the floor. (0:12:54.89)
Marilla Cuthbert : Goodnight. (0:13:05.50)
Anne Shirley : Goodnight?! (0:13:07.97)
Anne Shirley : You know it must be the very
worst night I've ever had!
(0:13:09.48)
Marilla Cuthbert : I thought you gave that up. (0:13:21.58)
Matthew Cuthbert : I can't stand this without it. (0:13:23.94)
Marilla Cuthbert : I'll drive over and see
Mrs. Spencer tomorrow.
(0:13:27.82)
Marilla Cuthbert : We must send this girl
back to the asylum.
(0:13:31.18)
Matthew Cuthbert : I suppose so, though she's a
real interesting little thing.
(0:13:33.95)
Marilla Cuthbert : Matthew! You don't mean to say
you think we ought to keep her!
(0:13:39.25)
Marilla Cuthbert : What good would she be to us? (0:13:43.58)
Matthew Cuthbert : None, but we might
be some good to her.
(0:13:47.56)
Marilla Cuthbert : Matthew, I believe that
child has bewitched you!
(0:13:55.52)
Matthew Cuthbert : Well now, you should have heard
her talk on our way from the station.
(0:13:59.50)
Matthew Cuthbert : She'd be company for you. (0:14:08.45)
Marilla Cuthbert : I'm not suffering for company! (0:14:13.72)
Marilla Cuthbert : And I'm not going to keep her. (0:14:16.07)
Matthew Cuthbert : You always talk sense. (0:14:20.91)
Matthew Cuthbert : Goodnight. (0:14:28.92)
Anne Shirley : The world seemed such a
howling wilderness last night.
(0:15:15.38)
Anne Shirley : I'm so glad it's a sunshiny morning. (0:15:19.26)
Anne Shirley : But I like rainy mornings, too. (0:15:23.25)
Anne Shirley : All sorts of mornings are interesting. (0:15:26.26)
Anne Shirley : There's scope to imagine what's
going to happen through the day.
(0:15:28.81)
Matthew Cuthbert : Mm-hmm. (0:15:31.50)
Marilla Cuthbert : For pity's sake, hold your tongue and eat. (0:15:32.62)
Anne Shirley : I'll wash the dishes. (0:15:39.09)
Marilla Cuthbert : Oh? Can you wash them right? (0:15:40.78)
Anne Shirley : Pretty well. I'm better at
looking after children, though.
(0:15:42.44)
Anne Shirley : It's such a pity you haven't any here. (0:15:46.45)
Marilla Cuthbert : More children? You're problem enough. (0:15:52.50)
Marilla Cuthbert : Good enough. Go amuse yourself
out-of-doors till we leave.
(0:16:00.20)
Anne Shirley : Thank you! (0:16:03.90)
Marilla Cuthbert : What's the matter? (0:16:13.79)
Anne Shirley : I don't dare go out. (0:16:15.43)
Anne Shirley : If I can't stay here, there is
no use in me loving Green Gables.
(0:16:17.74)
Anne Shirley : If I go out and get acquainted with the
flowers and the brook and the Snow Queen,
(0:16:24.50)
Anne Shirley : I'll not be able to help loving it. (0:16:29.92)
Marilla Cuthbert : What Snow Queen? (0:16:32.25)
Anne Shirley : The cherry tree outside my
bedroom window. I named it.
(0:16:33.67)
Marilla Cuthbert : Where's the sense in naming a tree? (0:16:38.87)
Anne Shirley : Sense? There isn't any. (0:16:41.02)
Anne Shirley : Only that I feel I can get to
know them better that way.
(0:16:43.17)
Anne Shirley : Would you like to be called nothing
but a woman all the time?
(0:16:46.44)
Marilla Cuthbert : She is kind of interesting. (0:16:53.21)
Marilla Cuthbert : I'm already wondering what
on earth she'll say next.
(0:16:55.71)
Marilla Cuthbert : But I can't let her
cast a spell over me, too.
(0:16:59.53)
Marilla Cuthbert : Matthew! (0:17:02.97)
Anne Shirley : I've made up my mind to enjoy this drive! (0:17:23.48)
Anne Shirley : I can always enjoy things if I make up
my mind to. It's one of my virtues.
(0:17:27.20)
Anne Shirley : Look! (0:17:31.25)
Anne Shirley : There's an early wild rose out! (0:17:32.30)
Anne Shirley : Isn't it lovely? Isn't pink the
most bewitching color in the world?
(0:17:34.79)
Anne Shirley : But it's such a shame!
Redheaded people can't wear pink.
(0:17:39.49)
Anne Shirley : Has there ever been a case where a redheaded
girl's hair changes when she grows up?
(0:17:44.63)
Marilla Cuthbert : Not that I've ever heard of. (0:17:48.85)
Anne Shirley : Well, that is another hope gone. (0:17:51.17)
Anne Shirley : My life is a perfect
graveyard of buried hopes.
(0:17:54.56)
Anne Shirley : Are we going across the
Lake of Shining Waters today?
(0:17:57.55)
Marilla Cuthbert : We're going by the shore road. (0:18:00.05)
Marilla Cuthbert : As you're bent on talking, you might
as well tell me about yourself.
(0:18:02.36)
Anne Shirley : My history isn't worth telling. (0:18:07.27)
Marilla Cuthbert : It's better than your imaginings. (0:18:10.27)
Marilla Cuthbert : Where were you born, and how old are you? (0:18:12.41)
Anne Shirley : I turned eleven last March. (0:18:15.45)
Anne Shirley : I was born in Nova Scotia. (0:18:18.74)
Anne Shirley : My father's name was Walter Shirley,
and my mother's was Bertha.
(0:18:20.81)
Anne Shirley : They kept a little house in Bolingbroke, (0:18:24.54)
Anne Shirley : Mother and Father died soon after
I was born, so I don't remember it,
(0:18:28.86)
Anne Shirley : but I've imagined it thousands of times. (0:18:36.56)
Anne Shirley : When I was washing dishes
in Mrs. Thomas's house,
(0:18:39.80)
Anne Shirley : when I looked after Mrs. Hammond's
three pairs of twins...
(0:18:43.26)
Anne Shirley : Thousands of times. (0:18:47.86)
Anne Shirley : Thousands of times. (0:18:49.31)
Anne Shirley : Thousands. (0:18:50.79)
Anne Shirley : That little house must have had lilies
of the valley just inside the gate,
(0:18:59.31)
Anne Shirley : with honeysuckle over the windows
and muslin curtains in all of them.
(0:19:03.38)
Anne Shirley : I was born in that house. (0:19:09.95)
Anne Shirley : Mr. Hammond died and
Mrs. Hammond broke up housekeeping.
(0:19:15.34)
Anne Shirley : Nobody would take me after that,
so I had to go to the asylum.
(0:19:20.28)
Marilla Cuthbert : Were those women—Mrs. Thomas
and Mrs. Hammond—good to you?
(0:19:28.71)
Anne Shirley : Yes, but... (0:19:33.90)
Anne Shirley : It's trying to have a drunken
husband and all the rest.
(0:19:35.87)
Anne Shirley : Still, I know they meant
to be good and kind to me.
(0:19:41.18)
Anne Shirley : Aren't those gulls splendid? (0:19:48.16)
Anne Shirley : The way they swoop away out over the water. (0:19:51.14)
Anne Shirley : Would you like to be a gull? (0:19:55.24)
Anne Shirley : I think I would. (0:19:58.84)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Dear, dear. You don't say so! (0:20:03.84)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : My brother Robert sent the word
down by his daughter Nancy,
(0:20:06.84)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : and she said you wanted a girl. (0:20:10.77)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Didn't she, Flora? (0:20:13.77)
Flora Jane Spencer : She certainly did! (0:20:15.76)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Oh, that Nancy! (0:20:17.63)
Marilla Cuthbert : Can we still send the
child back to the asylum?
(0:20:20.64)
Mrs. Alexander Spencer : Oh, Mrs. Blewett was saying how much
she wanted a little girl to help her.
(0:20:25.35)
