"Louisa, you are so irresponsible." "I refuse to be taught by a stray." "I felt some responsibility to her mother." "Anne's well rendered with a heart of gold." "She's very odd, if you ask me." "I don't have it in me to send her to another asylum." "You have a head and a heart soft as my son's." "I think I'll check and see if a local family need some help." "I can tutor the boys, grandmother." "Your life is to be elevated above that of your parents." "A girls education begins with the proper governance." "I have found one." "She will be here right away." "She will provide a firm hand." "They will make all the difference in the world to you." "Enough if you don't mind" "I had enough" "Goodnight." "My life will never be the same again." "Someone left a pitcher of lemonade for the hired help." "Want some?" "Sure, go bring me some." "Please, wait here." "Mrs. Thomas will see you now." "What are you doing in here?" "I was just looking at those crows up there." "You come back in here again and those crows will pick your eyes out." "Go on, get out of here." "Alright." "You can close your notebooks now." "Your grandmother wants to see all three of you for lunch." "So you can break now while I mark your notebooks." "The courses were so hard." "I know, the math was so hard." "Go put this back in the key cover of the kitchen, and then come and help with the pond well." "They are missing as sure as the day is long, and I caught her loitering in the summer kitchen." "Did you know this assigned key is lying anywhere?" "Yes." "I put away the stable key in a cover an hour ago." "What business was it of yours?" "You don't meddle with my kids." "I did exactly as Mr. MakAdams told me." "He said: "Put away this stable's Key in the cover and come and help me in the pond" Which I did dutifully." "Only..." "Only she likely mixed up the stable key with the missing key, and can't remember where she put them." "Of worse that she stole them." "Didn't you just steal them you're little..." "Hepzibah, don't you stop it?" "Did you catch any other set of key?" "Believe me, if I only being led to the block for it" "Only I'm not certain where the block is." "I never touched any other keys." "Only the stable keys." "I will not allow this child to sleep in the house, until she finds the upstairs keys." "She can sleep in the barn until she rots or else returns the upstairs keys." "There is something else." "What is it?" "Nothing." "Ready to tell me what happened to the missing key?" "Yes." "That's preposterous Mrs. Thomas." "I am to be accused by a mischievous child who's never had a proper upbringing?" "Well she's getting one now." "this goes beyond the mirror scolding, ma'am." "Louisa, the child is a liar." "I speak the truth, because, to be unjustly accused, is an assault on my good name." "My heart maybe broken, by one consolation that one day you will feel remorse for having crushed it." "I'm setting my hands to the plow, Louisa." "The child will go to that home in Fredericton." "You are a heartless woman." "I'm sure your own poor son was driven to drink by you pushing him away." "No, she did that." "Hepzibah, pack the child's bag." "I did my best, dear, but working in the lumber yard will be much better than a foundling home." "Goodbye, dear friend." "I don't believe God himself could do any better in the face of such an abstinent person." "Hello." "Who is it?" "You might at least have woken me up, instead of breaking in." "Real estate agent from Avonlea was running around town, telling people that she caught you talking to yourself in the yard." "Real estate agents have no diplomacy." "That was a good sign." "Maybe you would make some major revisions?" "You got something here." "You finish by next week and I will have time to do the cast read through." "What got you going again?" "A letter from my father." "Maybe take the play in a different direction." "Father?" "Always thought you are a stray." "You would never get what the place is worth anywhere." "40 years may have passed, but your letter finally have arrived into my hands a week ago." "I'm hoping that your return address is still available." "I don't know, if you've ever come across my work, but I'm a well published author, and recently an inspiring playwright." "I still publish in my maiden name Anne Shirley, even though I'm a widow." "I have two wonderful daughters, who all have grown up their families, and also adopted son, who is still oversees." "It's never been easy for me to put into words my feelings about you." "My memory of you has been somewhat rekindled in a play I am currently working on." "I hope that we can arrange to finally meet, and that this letter actually gets to you." "I suppose this up to fate again." "Your loving Ann." "In time the Thomases forgot about me completely." "My fear of being sent to an orphanage was replaced by a hardship of trying to survive In the lumber mill." "at people who could have not cared less about me." "Katie..." "I miss you." "I don't believe I'm long for this world." "I pray I'll see what the next." "Mrs. Thomas was feared and disliked by all of her workers." "I suppose it was her stubbornness, that frustrated people most." "Fortunately I could not see how grossly our lives would be tied together." "I can't fill my orders because they are working slow." "a lot of bickering amongst the men and an uproar's been brewing." "They're threatening to go on strike because of unsafe conditions." "Come on." "Let's go." "You folks thinking you terrorized management" "Torn off the blow water." "Close the gate!" "What's wrong?" "Bunch of damn troublemakers trying to tamper with the shoots." "Saying there are unsafe and a true guilty reference are caught under." "Quick, move." "Hey, kid come here." "We need you to climb in here." "This guy's still moving." "Come on, you're little." "Get in there." "Go on there." "Can you lift up the pin?" "Pull." "Give us his arm." "Good job, kid." "Hurry!" "Hey, come on get up, he in here." "That man you rescued that was Walter Shirley, girl." "I know." "He saw his arm was badly mangled, but he's safe." "Our men got him away." "I'm taking you to the workers cottage." "near the cider mill" "You will be safe there." "No, no, no, no." "I don't think so" "What about the girl?" "We can't afford to have her go to police." "I don't understand." "I can't make up what you're saying." "You were fool when bringing the union organizers to help you." "But you know, what about the girl or you know what she knows, who she's talking?" "That's enough now." "Want some breakfast?" "What's you name?" "Cordelia." "Don't be shy have a seat." "Stay and pick up apples." "We're here until September then we will move on to Main." "Penny a bushel." "There is lots of kids here to help you, all right?" "Yes, ma'am." "Let's go." "Helen Parker says we are to look after that one." "Anne!" "Anne!" "I wanted we were able to find you after all these weeks." "This is my friend Peter from the Smithy." "Peter knew all about your working here now." "Mother was so concerned when you disappeared." "Oh, please come." "We're desperate." "Let's go Violetta." "That stupid cat attacked Mrs. Bridgewater." "She was up to something in the attic going through all the papers." "She claims she were working on the history of the county, but no one believes her." "Grandmother fired her on the spot." "Then Hepzibah orders me to put the vile thing outside for a few minutes just to calm everyone down." "But the stupid cat is then gone now for two days." "Mother is terrified we will be thrown up forever, because we lost her contemptible cat." "That woman took the keys, because she came for something." "Mother insisted to grandmother that you were not lying, and that your suspicion about Bridgewater were true." "Grandmother says you can come back and speak your mind if you would like." "Why would she believe anything I had to say?" "Well, she well knows that the governor was found upstairs in the attic." "This way, come on." "I don't think so." "Violetta!" "Let's go back." "I know this is the wrong way Violetta!" "I feel if like there faces watching us." "Wild things behind the trees." "It's all in your imagination, Anne." "Hepzibah always goes on and on about the phantoms that kidnap little children and no one cares about them." "I'll be the first to qualify." "It's this way." "I know this road." "No!" "Nellie, help us." "Give me out." "The traps set so the police don't get close." "My friends will get the girl lose." "Good morning, this is our meeting place." "The gross mill been abandoned for years." "No one even knows I live here." "The Thomases imperial kitty." "This the feline what you been lookin' for." "Here." "Don't daily at the Thomases." "Go back at the workers Cottage at the sider mill." "What is she doing here?" "You will be plenty safe there." "Go on." "Go." "There's worse things in store for the Thomases than missing cats." "This correspondence was in the old ladies files." "Her husband knew full well." "He was lumbering on Crown land for decades without any deed or timber rights." "Somebody should better stop the whole operation." "Or have another company take over the business for us completely." "This town will be better off if she's sold out." "Thank you, Mrs. Bridgewater." "The workers are tense and have been quelled by the police," "But the young man was killed and another seriously injured, ma'am." "Why would anyone go to such lengths to ruin our business?" "Marysville was built on bricks and mortar of my husband's goodwill." "But some people feel it's not a woman's place to operate so many businesses." "That's why I pay you for, Jeremiah." "To be effective too." "But the deaths of that boy will be difficult to reverse in the workers minds." "We are not going to unionize, Jeremiah." "Please." "Now you return with more solutions than problems." "Anne, you are back!" "Where did you find the cat?" "We thought you been roasted on the spit by bandits or something." "Who was that woman who picked you up?" "They didn't hurt you, did they?" "I'm fine." "They are only vagrants who live in the forest." "Vagrants?" "Well I never expected to extend such a note of gratitude to such a sassy girl." "They want you to stay." "Come, my darling." "Yes, my precious." "I'm pleased to have returned your dear blue eyes to you." "But Violetta said you are taken hostage by robbers." "Not exactly." "I did see something there." "I saw Mrs. Bridgewater at a meeting place with an unruly gang." "What were they doing?" "I couldn't tell but they looked like they were discussing some papers." "Who took you there?" "Nelly Parkars." "She found us then she'd found the cat." "What a strange coincidence." "Well, if Bridgewater's taking anything, we just simply have to tighten arraigns in the future." "Did a horse run away or something?" "Grandmother sacked Mrs. Bridgewater for nosing around the attic." "And she now admitted you were right, Ann." "She seems terribly rattled" "Bridgewater came here with the purpose." "Because grandmother hired her based of recommendations from the bank." "Don't be so dramatic, Violetta." "I'm sure nothing will come with us." "Why are you crying?" "Just so elated, have your mother stick up for me so I can stay." "I take back those things I said about you Anna." "Mother says even your father turned out to be a prince." "She says he's written to her on occasions asking about you." "Have you not heard from him?" "Certainly." "And I pray all the time we will be together again someday." "This is so dull." "Don't you have anything better than books that are 100 years old?" "This poem is sheer romance." "It's ridiculous." "You got away with making everyone think you're so much smarter, then we are, just because you have a knack for fifty-cent words" "I plan to teach one day, and I regard you three as my personal experiment." "Put it down." "This is our pages!" "I will tell your grandmother." "If you want to fight about it, I have a better idea." "On you go, Jock." "What's your point, Anne." "A soldier dies and someone writes a poem about it." "The only way you'll ever understand Romantic verse, is to live and breathe it." ""Bingen on the Rhine" is an illustrious poem you need to learn to relish." "It's the type of masterpiece, that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back." "A soldier of the legion lay dying in Algiers." "You look really good dead, Jock." "I get all of your deserts tonight for doing this." "Lay down." "You're supposed to be on your last breath." "Now everyone push him off." "Dying soldier at alter," "As he took his comrade's hand," "Shall never see my native soil." "Lay down, Jock!" "Send me back to my native land," "Take a message to some distant friends of mine." "Ahh!" "For I was born in Bingen," "Bingen on the Rhine," "The blessed raft is falling apart!" "We have to do something!" "Snap out of it!" "Look for help at the mill." "Help, please!" "Help!" "My brother!" "he is on the raft." "He can't swim." "His raft is sinking." "It's sinking." "Help him, pleased." "Come on!" "I'm almost there." "Somebody give me a hand we are here." "My grandson owes you his life." "You saved the Thomases from extinctions." "I guess the name stays upon the door Mrs. Thomas" "We'll take more than a mere accident to remove our name." "Or a handful of disgruntled employees." "Good day, men." "Words cannot express our gratitude." "Forgive us, forgive me for causing such a disaster." "An angel must has been watching over all of us." "Thanks Mister." "Mrs. Thomas." "It'll be more prudent of you to listen to their concerns from time to time, rather than just the sound of your own voice." "The day I hear you advise Louisa," "Is the day you will not need mine." "Violetta, take the boys to them." "Now, take, please." "Hasn't grandmother become a splendid creature recently?" "She even allowed mother to study for teaching degree by mail." "I feel this marks an epoch in my life, Violetta." "Four months ago I was wishing I'd never been born." "And now I wouldn't trade places with an angel." "Best part of all is coming here again." "Just so happy your grandmother finally understands that I am human being." "I'm just glad your grandmother finally understands," "I'm a human being." "I'm just so happy." "There is no darkness anymore, only light." "Thank you, everyone." "Take five." "It's alright." "The dialogue needs a little cutting." "Back to work." "Morning." "Hey, Mack!" "Anything come from Brunswick?" "Paris, France." "Please, I'm begging you to come Deanna." "Well, I were shaking, that's why." "I'm holding a letter from Dominic." "He is coming home." "He is getting married." "Yes, both of my girls are coming." "I know." "Oh, please come and bring everybody." "Well, I am exhausted and exhilarated." "Gene is figuring the play in New Jersey." "And if it's any success at all, I'm grant to use the royalties on renovate Green Gable." "Come on, everyone." "Taxis are leaving, let's go." "Oh, honey I have to go." "I love you, too." "Bye-bye." "Bravo, Anne." "Come on." "No, no, no, no." "Where are we going?" "Dearest father." "I received the note from your housekeeper, saying that she is giving me my latest letter, and that the reply from you will be forthcoming." "I'm anxious to hear from you." "Your daughter, Anne." "Box office in New Jersey has passed everybody's expectations." "Congratulations!" "What if we get a show at Broadway?" "Broadway?" "Who needs Broadway?" "We happy we got at the New Jersey." "No, now see the family planted right here." "I would live Summer here if you pay it." "What is it?" "I don't know." "Everything is in the right place." "Dominic's getting married." "I finally managed with something down, on papers what was worthwhile." "But I feel empty." "Why?" "I'd never heard from him again." "And I've written him several times now." "What happened with your father, that you were so rare talking about?" "Aren't you supposed to check on my spelling?" "Of cause I will." "Jock, you are supposed to write words out three Times each." "Sorry." "It's more boring than algebra." "Boys get to work." "Here she comes." "Children, time for a break." "I'm so pleased with all the progress you've been making with your studies." "You all to be commanded." "We could be even more model children." "If we were allowed to dine outside everyday." "And to think I thought, that Louisa was ---------- for arriving on my doorstep with this astray child." "I was wrong." "We are all very grateful for your hospitality Mrs. Tomas." "Excuse me, Mrs. Thomas." "Sorry to interrupt but a need to speak with you." "You speak." "Violetta, go and help Hepzibah put the chicken salad on the plate, so, it doesn't spoil out, while we wait for grandmother to come back." "Why do I always have to do this?" "Boys never have to do anything." "Boys, help Clara for dishes." "Careful." "Come." "I'm safe and doing so much better." "Nelly Parkurs's just helping me." "Get organized to come back to Marysville." "Want you to do everything she asks." "Will not be long before I can go back for you, too." "Your loving father Walter." "How?" "Last fall in St. John." "I went to rate the teachers board exam, and he was just at the hospital." "When he saw me on the street and called out to me." "And we've been corresponding ever since." "You vowed you have nothing more to do with him." "I misjudged him, Anne." "Your father is a good man." "Much reformed." "He is involved with this company." "New Hampshire Timber and Plank." "They are going to help grandmother." "And he is going to help all the workers keep their jobs, or get new ones if the mills are sold." "Does Mrs. Thomas know?" "The banks are behind her, as they want her to sell." "Sounds so insidious." "Grandmother never cares much about anyone but herself." "She only values people who are of service to her or amuse her." "Your enthusiasm is a tonic Anne." "You can influence her." "To do what?" "To sell, retire and leave Maryville." "The price drop put ending shipping to States." "The cotton mill will simply drag down to the other mills." "If you don't shut down the cotton mill immediately, we cannot pay mortgage to the Abbyy Bank on the other mills." "I'm just concerned about the banks." "They are pushing you to sell out." "We have to help her make her right decision for everyone including us." "If we're ever going to live here." "You can convince her to retire." "Everyone, I have come to a very important decision." "I have decided to host a picnic next week for the town and some very important visitors." "A picnic?" "Oh, this can't be real!" "I'm so excited I could faint." "I'd love to be able to really faint." "It's so romantic!" "Violetta, will you wear about new dress with the Apple sleeves to the picnic?" "Mrs. Thomas are you sure the weather will be good for the picnic next week?" "Anything ever happened to be a lifelong sorrow for everyone." "Whole town to be beside themselves, if there is half as flatters as me" "you know, someday..." "I'd like to... retire, but but looking for things and have the pleasure of them." "Don't you think?" "All you on boats and ice cream, ice cream is one of those treats that sounds a blind." "Even though I have never truly had it." "Anne Shirly what mental anguish has consumed you?" "Now you have rattled on for five minutes." "Would you hold your tongue for at least that equal amount of time?" "We will be serving ice cream with ladyfingers." "Anne, you and Violetta will work with" "Hepzibah and select the lunch menu." "The boys will be in charge with the decorations." "There will be buntings and flags." "Louisa I need you to look into the invitations." "I have several callers from the Abby bank." "I think you need to contact them." "This will be a celebration the town will never forget." "And it will certainly boast an assurance about Thomas's mills." "Get downstairs child and help with the party things." "I don't care for children who don't know how to work." "Yes, ma'am." "Just put it over there." "This is the last tea service to be polished." "Oh, I am happy to go to see what she'd like." "Just a minute." "Take off that apron." "Come on quickly." "Hurry up she is waiting for you." "You don't see Mrs. Thomas with an apron on." "Put it over the chair." "Alright, quickly off you go." "Fetch me some whiskey quickly." "Over there." "Have been such afraid." "Need a doctor." "Luisa!" "No, no, don't" "No doctor." "Listen now." "You tell no one about this." "I want you to swear that you will tell no one about this, no one." "It's quite wicked to swear." "This is not wicked to swear, if you do it in name of someone you care about." "Mrs. Thomas I knew you liked me." "But I never presumed you cared about me." "Oh, I do swear." "Swear to never reveal this moment to a soul." "Think you." "Man of death I remain your loyal confidant." "Good, now, you run and you finish with Hepzibah in the kitchen." "No, come back." "Alright I feel better now." "Will be so exciting to serve at the table for all the important guests." "Don't you think so, Hepzibah?" "You won't have such a high opinion over me, if served as mach, as I have or lived as long." "Violetta." "Off you go your mother's calling you." "What would you like me to do next?" "I've got all organized for you, Anne." "Don't think you can fooling yourself into thinking you've got the missis all sold up." "What do you mean?" "You are no better than a child of a common swindler." "How dare you?" "How dare you try your wriggler's ways on Mrs. Thomas?" "It'll crash her when she discovers the truth, that your father is union instigator, known to the police." "And him in touch with you." "It'll get out." "Things always get out in Marysville." "You are just full of original sin." "You are not fit to call this house your home." "Come in." "She's retarded, that Hepzibah." "Women born to scrub floor, she wouldn't take such mean advantage." "Especially, when I was trying so hard to fit in." "She said I was full of original sin." "You got a neck for troubles." "And it ain't easy being different." "I'll give you that." "Look at me." "I lost my baby and my husband years ago." "Cannot cry about it now." "Don't miss belonging to someone?" "I belong to the community here." "The town is my family." "Except for Mrs. Thomas." " She's a stubborn fool." " She isn't half the monster people think she is." "People stick by each other here." "It's a fine community." "A union could force her to sell to someone bigger and stronger before she goes past." "Control the things in her own way destroyed a lot of what was good here." "She'd like to see the town found a fail." "Oh, she wouldn't." "She is in entire straits." "The bank is forcing" "I don't know much about banks." "Whether is turned." "This town is a good place to volunteer." "You can settle down with your pap and live a long life here." "Despite all the money the Thomases never been very decent." "Thank you." "Please, tell my father I'm in kind and caring hands, and not to worry about me." "Why did you run away like that?" "I was worried." "I was afraid..." "Of me?" "I was frightened..." "Maybe you change your mind about me staying." "Why?" "Well, I'm such an unlucky girl, always getting myself in ----- getting my friends people who had shed my life's blood for and did them too." "You certainly said something that made Hepzibah very cross." "What was that?" "It was wrong to run away Mrs. Thomas." "You are true kindred spirit." "What?" "A kindred spirit, someone you can rely on right in innermost soul." "Go back to sleep." "It's unfortunate that economic circumstances has forced to close our private cotton mill." "lumber insider are resilient businesses of a bright future" "I wanted to take this afternoon to thank so many of you, who had been dedicated to Thomas mill and to helping me personally during this time at filling my husband's shoes." "Thank you." "I'll be very pleased to meet each of you." "If you'd be kind enough to join me for tea in the garden." "Excuse me Mrs. Thomas." "The banks are the guests." "Let's put our best foot forward." "Well, speak for yourself." "Mr. land looks like he's being led to be ---- Ms. Thomas." "It's all in his head." "He is intimidated by bankers." "I don't see the use of meeting trouble half way." "I'm not here to entertain " "Mrs. Thomas you know Mr.Grainger." "Yes, Mr. Grainger." "Mrs. Thomas." "Welcome." "Thank you." "This is Allen Lang of New Hampshire Timber and Plank." "Oh, yes, Mr. Lang." "Thanks for having me." "I'm so pleased to see such an enthusiastic thrown Mrs. Thomas, with all the rumblings." "You can believe at least half of what you do see, and not of what you hear." "Abbey Bank has invested an interesting Union talk as I perceive it." "The bank has to address financial burden head on" "Mrs. Thomas." "We are concerned your - mortgage payments have lapsed." "Is this the great way to balance a cup?" "I'm afraid I'm not well-versed in a rules of etiquette." "Anne!" "Is there a quiet spot?" "Louisa has told me how much help you've been, softening up Mrs. Thomas." "I can't speak for long, but if this deal comes through, many men can keep their jobs and the town will carry on." "I intend to do very well out of it." "I found this in the pocket of Ann's apron yesterday." "And there they are." "Over there, look." "Why do you have to be like this?" "Whatever takes, do it." "I will do it." "Thank you very much." "Come with me, Jeremiah." "For all of the cunning and manipulative tricks, to use a child as the go-between and have the odasity to do it on the front lawn of my own home?" "You're being too guarded." "Am I" "They certainly have the inside track on all over our discussions, didn't they Jeremiah?" "What did you tell them?" "Nothing except listening to an excellent offer for some timber right that could virtually solve all of our issues." "Jeremiah, you have worked with me for 15 years and we have never had a cross word." "Is that correct?" "So, I will not be giving you the benefit of the doubt, but you listen to me fully now." "As I stand here I will call over my mills before I will sell or even toss one more soul of those vultures." "Do you understand?" "I understand." "Well, good." "You just never have anything more to do with him." "Off you go." "Yes." "Hepzibah explained to me how those people wanted to use me." "Stars in their courses fight against me." "But if you must be cross with anyone - be cross with me." "Don't be afraid, dear." "I'm sure everything will turn all right in the end." "What if you forced to give it all way to the bank?" "No one ever forced me to do anything." "It's not in my nature." "I'm used to having people cross on me, but Hepzibah said such a merciless things at night." "I ran away at Nellie's, to talk to her about everything I'd found out." "You are so hitless and impulsive." "I was terrified you'd threw me out, if you found out about my father..." " You have to believe me because I..." " You never stop to think." "Anything that pumps into your mind you leap on it." "Don't give you one minute reflection." "I know I'm culpable." "But imagine a horror of finding out that my father has been involved in." "An iron entered my soul at that very moment." "Hepzibah made me feel like a worthless traitor." "I would never go against you." "Come." "Grown-ups can take advantage of a child's innocent heart, even if fathers of yours." "You must not trust everyone all the time." "You live in new home here now." "Now that Louisa want you to stay with us." "Oh, say it again!" "It's a ray of hope in the path of darkness." "And I want you to stay too." "Amelia Thomas is reckless not to sell." "This company can build a community in a way she is incapable of." "You fault her for her determination?" "This opportunity will never happen again." "Hepzibah, please just speak to her to at least prolong discussions with them." "I have just one retort for the lot of you." "Judas Priests." "Anne, step outside with me for just a moment, dear." "Now I need to know where are the rebels now, that you saw meet?" "Show me." "Show me." "I expect you to vacate my home immediately." "I didn't expect to remain." "I only hoped that you'd seize the opportunity to put your stubborn pride aside." "You are a pathetic judge of human nature." "I will survive." "I'll get a job as a teacher and I will support my family." "And I'm taking Ann." "Ain't you packing Ann?" "Just gazing at the lone." "I will be haunted by the fact of living here forever and ever." "Anna!" "Luisa!" "Over here." "Your pap in the spot, Anne." "What's wrong." "He is in serious trouble with the company." "They had thrown him in jail for trying to double cross the bank." "But he was to help us leave!" "I can take you to St. John." "This is a very typical kind of demand Mrs. Thomas." "Foreclosure is merely Bank tactic." "We can still try to close a new deal with New Hampshire timber, but I need to see the deeds." "It isn't true that they imply about land rights." "We have been chopping down trees on Crown property with no land rights for 20 years." "There is nothing to sell, Jeremiah." "The company has nothing." "It's not just possible." "My husband was too clever for his own good." "Mrs. Thomas!" "Mrs. Thomas!" "Mrs. Thomas I am not leaving!" "I give you my word." "Alright my dear." "Come on now." "You go back inside." "Come on." "I want to stay with you." "I know you do." "Anything is all right." "There is nothing more we can do." "We just have to pray." "And, listen, no more tears." "No more tears, promise me?" "Let me go with you." "Promise me, no more tears?" "Well go on." "Mrs. Thomas!" "It's alright." "Luisa!" "Luisa!" "Come quickly." "What's wrong?" "Oh, my dear Lord." "She headed into town after supper." "Mrs. Thomas!" "Some people said it was Mrs. Thomas, who destroyed her own mills."

"And Ms. Ammons had eight of them." "I want you to take this cat." "No, no, no." "Put it back." "Just put that back." "Good God." "I can't be taking a cat like that." "It's okey." "See you." "I'm sure Mrs. Thomas's cat found better prospects than I had." "Well, let me know, if she works out." "Ketty!" "It's been a while." "At least, we still have each other." "If I hadn't lost myself in a beauty of Mrs. Thomas's world." "I so love beautiful things." "I'm sure I could not live here, if I hadn't any imagination." "Dear father, I appreciate the letters from your housekeeper," "But I've yet to hear reply from you." "If you changed your mind about wanting to communicate with me, at least let me know that."

"Or Shirley." "You must have had the wrong address." "Hello, there." "Why did you leave a message in the hotel for me to come here?" "I could have picked you up at the station." "I just wanted to be alone a little longer." "I never got the chance to know him." "You never needed Walter Shirley to be part of your life." "I never needed you to be part of my life either." "Now look at you." "I wonder if trees sleep And, if they do, if they dream?" "So how is it feel to be Ann of Green Gables," "Rather, than Ann of nowhere in particular?" "All I can say is that when I first arrived I knew I was home." "Matthew and Marilla were everything to me." "Ready?" "Everybody say "cheese"!" "That's great!" "Got it!" "Hey enough you two."

"Alright, Mama." "Who is that ancient pair over there, that everyone is fussing over?" "That's Katie King." "and Rachel Linden in a wheelchair." "They are over 90's of their day." "Rachel doesn't have any use of theater people." "So you shouldn't have to endure that." "And that is Fred and Diana?" "They look far too sophisticated to be from Avonlea...."

"That guy, back there" "He got off at the whistle stop and asked the station master about directions to Green Gables." "He just sort of followed us here." "He claims he's your brother." "This is my brother Andrew." "Gene." "Andrew." "Pleased to meet you." "He is your uncle." "Dominic." "Andrew." "Brigitte." "Hey, everyone." "This is my son's fiancee, Brigitte." "and Andrew my brother." "Brigitte." "Oh hi, Brigitte." "She's going to be part of our family." "Maybe being an orphan my mother always made plans about wanting to do for me what the Cuthberts have done for her." "But I had no idea" "Neither has she." "Her life is extraordinary." "And the great thing about it is that she's completely unaware of it." "Andrew, hi." "Hi, Elsie." "Nice to meet you." "Come on, throw it back." "I got it." "Your mother just told me how you were lost as a kid." "When she found you what a roller coaster it was." "I feel the same about finding her." "I wish dad could have been here." "Yes, in spirit." "Everything that happened in my life, the good and the bad, is more than I could ever made up." "I do long to write and I will write about all of it." "My life has been unexpected." "Exceptional really." "Eventually, the more love a person gives, the easier it is to find." "It's the only part that matters." "Nothing else." "And it's so much nicer to be Anne of Green Gables, than to be Anne of nowhere in particular."
