1
00:02:40,723 --> 00:02:44,101
- Is this too fast?
- Harder!
2
00:02:53,361 --> 00:02:55,613
My sisters and I remember
that winter...
3
00:02:55,821 --> 00:02:58,449
...as the coldest of our childhood.
4
00:02:58,657 --> 00:03:01,994
A temporary poverty had settled
upon our family some years before.
5
00:03:03,412 --> 00:03:06,624
The war had made fuel
and lamp oil scarce...
6
00:03:06,832 --> 00:03:09,960
...but necessity is indeed
the mother of invention.
7
00:03:10,169 --> 00:03:12,213
Somehow in that dark time...
8
00:03:12,421 --> 00:03:15,091
...our family, the March family...
9
00:03:15,299 --> 00:03:17,676
...seemed lo create its own light.
10
00:03:17,885 --> 00:03:20,054
Marmee! Marmee's home!
11
00:03:27,478 --> 00:03:29,480
- Marmee!
- Marmee!
12
00:03:29,688 --> 00:03:30,731
We waited and waited!
13
00:03:30,940 --> 00:03:33,526
We've been expectorating
you for hours!
14
00:03:33,734 --> 00:03:37,113
- Have you, my darling?
-"Expecting," featherhead.
15
00:03:37,321 --> 00:03:39,323
- Oh, Marmee, you're frozen.
- Yes.
16
00:03:39,532 --> 00:03:42,493
If you could see the people lined up
outside Hope House in this bitter cold.
17
00:03:42,701 --> 00:03:44,829
Your cheeks are so warm.
Thank you, Cricket.
18
00:03:45,037 --> 00:03:46,580
Are you finished
the Christmas bundles?
19
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:48,958
So many this year.
We were handing out--
20
00:03:49,166 --> 00:03:50,918
- Oh, how is your cold?
- Better.
21
00:03:51,127 --> 00:03:55,423
Good. We were handing out food as
quickly as we could make up the baskets.
22
00:03:55,631 --> 00:04:00,010
- Miss Amy, what is this in my pocket?
- Father!
23
00:04:09,603 --> 00:04:12,815
"My dearest family, I am well and safe.
24
00:04:13,023 --> 00:04:15,067
Our battalion is encamped
on the Potomac."
25
00:04:15,276 --> 00:04:18,154
- Potomac.
- Potomac.
26
00:04:18,362 --> 00:04:22,700
"December makes a hard, cold
season for all of us so far from home.
27
00:04:22,908 --> 00:04:24,577
I think of my girls day and night...
28
00:04:24,743 --> 00:04:27,329
...and find my best comfort
in your affection.
29
00:04:27,538 --> 00:04:31,125
I pray that your own hardships
will not be too great to bear.
30
00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:34,545
Give them all my dear love
and a kiss.
31
00:04:34,753 --> 00:04:37,923
Tell them I think of them by day,
pray for them by night."
32
00:04:38,132 --> 00:04:42,803
- Poor father.
- I'm a selfish girl.
33
00:04:43,637 --> 00:04:44,680
Little ones.
34
00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:49,685
It's Christmas Eve.
Father wouldn't want us to be sad now.
35
00:05:10,414 --> 00:05:13,000
To bed, Miss Amy.
Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
36
00:05:13,209 --> 00:05:15,377
Merry Christmas.
37
00:05:18,756 --> 00:05:22,176
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
38
00:05:26,138 --> 00:05:27,306
Merry Christmas, Beth.
39
00:05:27,515 --> 00:05:29,934
- Love you.
- I love you.
40
00:05:32,811 --> 00:05:38,234
- My Jo. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas, Marmee.
41
00:05:41,529 --> 00:05:43,531
And don't sit up too late.
42
00:05:43,739 --> 00:05:44,865
I won't.
43
00:06:06,762 --> 00:06:10,474
Late at night, my mind would come alive
with voices and stories...
44
00:06:10,683 --> 00:06:14,270
...and friends as dear to me
as any in the real world.
45
00:06:14,478 --> 00:06:19,358
I gave myself up to it
longing for transformation.
46
00:06:23,696 --> 00:06:26,198
Oh, what miraculous food.
47
00:06:26,407 --> 00:06:29,827
Isn't this just like the old days, Hannah?
48
00:06:32,121 --> 00:06:34,206
We shouldn't eat it.
We should just look at it.
49
00:06:34,415 --> 00:06:35,791
I'm going to eat it.
50
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,211
Jo? Jo, come down.
51
00:06:46,802 --> 00:06:50,639
I'm awake! Horrible piano.
52
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,602
Hannah's put together
an absolute Christmas miracle.
53
00:06:54,810 --> 00:06:57,354
Is that sausage?
54
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,149
Wait.
55
00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:05,779
Butter! Oh, isn't butter divinity?
56
00:07:05,988 --> 00:07:07,615
Oh, God, thank you for this breakfast.
57
00:07:07,823 --> 00:07:09,950
Jo, angel, fetch your Marmee.
58
00:07:10,159 --> 00:07:13,454
She went out at the crack of dawn
to see some Germans.
59
00:07:13,662 --> 00:07:17,124
Hummel, the boy said.
Not a word of English.
60
00:07:17,333 --> 00:07:22,379
His da's gone. Six children,
and she's about to issue another.
61
00:07:22,588 --> 00:07:24,590
May as well take them
a stick of firewood.
62
00:07:24,798 --> 00:07:26,050
Sure they haven't got any.
63
00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:29,178
Or breakfast either.
64
00:07:29,386 --> 00:07:32,389
Perhaps we could send
the Hummels our bread.
65
00:07:35,809 --> 00:07:38,979
Might as well send the butter too.
Butter's not much use...
66
00:07:39,188 --> 00:07:41,565
...without bread to put it on.
67
00:07:57,665 --> 00:07:59,541
Oh, wonderful snow.
68
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:02,544
Don't you wish you could
roll about in it like dogs?
69
00:08:02,753 --> 00:08:06,131
Once one of our finest families.
70
00:08:12,304 --> 00:08:14,264
Lovely weather for a picnic!
71
00:08:14,473 --> 00:08:17,476
Come along, Theodore.
We'll be late for church.
72
00:08:22,981 --> 00:08:27,861
Jo, you should let them speak first.
What will they think of us?
73
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:29,863
Oh, don't look back.
74
00:09:02,521 --> 00:09:06,483
"Knights and ladies, elves and pages,
monks and flower girls...
75
00:09:06,692 --> 00:09:08,986
...all mingled gaily in the dance.
76
00:09:09,194 --> 00:09:13,532
Pauline cried out in horror
as her bridegroom's mask fell...
77
00:09:13,741 --> 00:09:16,118
...disclosing not her lover, Ferdinand...
78
00:09:16,326 --> 00:09:20,456
...but the face of his sworn enemy,
Count Antonio.
79
00:09:21,790 --> 00:09:26,128
'Revenge is mine," quoth he."
80
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:31,300
Continued in the following edition.
81
00:09:31,508 --> 00:09:34,428
Excellent installment, Mr. Snodgrass.
82
00:09:38,682 --> 00:09:41,518
- Oh, I love forbidden marriages.
- You ought to publish it, Jo.
83
00:09:41,685 --> 00:09:43,979
Really. Not just in the Pickwick Portfolio.
84
00:09:44,188 --> 00:09:46,440
Mr. Tupman, are you demeaning
our fine newspaper?
85
00:09:46,607 --> 00:09:48,692
Mr. Winkle.
86
00:09:50,152 --> 00:09:53,322
"One periwink-- Advertisement."
87
00:09:54,782 --> 00:09:57,868
"One periwinkle sash
belonging to Mr. N. Winkle...
88
00:09:58,076 --> 00:10:00,996
...has been abscondated
from the wash line...
89
00:10:01,205 --> 00:10:01,622
...which gentleman desires
any reports leading to its recovery."
90
00:10:01,622 --> 00:10:05,250
...which gentleman desires
any reports leading to its recovery."
91
00:10:10,130 --> 00:10:14,301
Gentlemen of the press, hear, hear.
I call to your attention...
92
00:10:14,510 --> 00:10:16,178
...our Mr. Tupman's
"The History of the Squash.”
93
00:10:16,386 --> 00:10:19,973
- Oh, don't read mine.
- Beth, this isn't a story. It's a recipe.
94
00:10:20,182 --> 00:10:21,934
Oh, dear, I never know what to write.
95
00:10:22,142 --> 00:10:27,022
First rule of writing, Mr. Tupman,
is never write what you know.
96
00:10:28,273 --> 00:10:30,943
What do we think of the boy?
97
00:10:31,151 --> 00:10:35,447
Is he a captive like Smee
in Nicholas Nickleby?
98
00:10:35,656 --> 00:10:38,867
He looks lonely.
You don't think he'll try to call?
99
00:10:39,076 --> 00:10:43,622
Maybe he has a secret.
A tragic, European secret.
100
00:10:43,831 --> 00:10:46,083
He's had no upbringing at all, they say.
101
00:10:46,291 --> 00:10:48,961
He was reared in Italy
among artists and vagrants.
102
00:10:49,169 --> 00:10:51,338
Doesn't he have a noble brow?
103
00:10:51,547 --> 00:10:54,132
If I were a boy,
I'd wanna look just like that.
104
00:10:54,341 --> 00:10:57,177
Imagine giving up Italy
to come live with that awful old man.
105
00:10:57,386 --> 00:10:59,638
Oh, Jo, please don't say "awful."
It's slang.
106
00:10:59,847 --> 00:11:01,849
I'd be terrified to live with him.
107
00:11:04,142 --> 00:11:08,480
I shouldn't mind living in such
a fine house, and having nice things.
108
00:11:08,689 --> 00:11:11,900
Oh, it doesn't seem
like Christmas this year without presents.
109
00:11:13,527 --> 00:11:16,822
I'm desperate for drawing pencils.
110
00:11:17,322 --> 00:11:22,244
I wish I didn't have to work for
Great-Aunt March, that crabby old miser.
111
00:11:22,452 --> 00:11:25,080
And you, Beth.
What's your Christmas wish?
112
00:11:25,289 --> 00:11:29,251
I'd like the war to end
so father can come home.
113
00:11:29,459 --> 00:11:33,171
Oh, sweet Beth. We all want that.
114
00:11:34,256 --> 00:11:36,174
They do have a beautiful piano.
115
00:11:36,383 --> 00:11:40,178
Wait till I'm a writer.
I'll buy you the best piano in creation.
116
00:11:40,387 --> 00:11:43,098
And if she doesn't,
you can come over and play mine.
117
00:11:43,307 --> 00:11:45,976
When I marry,
I'm going to be disgustingly rich.
118
00:11:46,184 --> 00:11:49,980
And what if the man you love
is a poor man, but good like father?
119
00:11:50,188 --> 00:11:54,151
Well, it isn't like being stuck
with the dreadful nose you get.
120
00:11:54,359 --> 00:11:56,528
One does have a choice
to whom one loves.
121
00:11:56,737 --> 00:11:58,322
You have a lovely nose.
122
00:11:58,530 --> 00:12:00,532
Well, I wouldn't marry for the money.
123
00:12:00,741 --> 00:12:03,452
I mean, what if his business goes bust?
124
00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:07,748
Besides, down at the Eagle,
they pay $5 for each story they print.
125
00:12:07,956 --> 00:12:10,542
Why, I have ten stories
in my head right now.
126
00:12:10,751 --> 00:12:15,088
Gentlemen, I dislike all this money talk.
It isn't refined.
127
00:12:15,297 --> 00:12:19,217
Well, if lack of attention to personal
finances is a mark of refinement...
128
00:12:19,426 --> 00:12:23,722
...then I'd say the Marches
are the most elegant family in Concord.
129
00:12:24,848 --> 00:12:27,017
We'll all grow up someday, Meg.
130
00:12:27,225 --> 00:12:29,978
We might as well know what we want.
131
00:12:31,521 --> 00:12:35,359
That'll do, that'll do. Put the carriage
away, and look smart about it.
132
00:12:35,567 --> 00:12:37,319
Very good, sir.
133
00:12:38,654 --> 00:12:39,863
Merry Christmas.
134
00:12:42,324 --> 00:12:44,534
I have the most wonderful feeling
about tonight.
135
00:12:44,743 --> 00:12:48,664
Meg and Jo, you have to tell me
everything about Belle Gardiner.
136
00:12:48,872 --> 00:12:50,624
What her nose looks like
and about her ring.
137
00:12:50,791 --> 00:12:52,250
Annie Gardiner says it's an emerald.
138
00:12:52,459 --> 00:12:55,087
Can you imagine?
Everyone's lucky but me.
139
00:12:55,253 --> 00:12:58,548
I'm glad I don't have to go
and be with all those frightening people...
140
00:12:58,757 --> 00:13:01,551
-...and try to think of things to say.
- Hush now.
141
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,262
Oh, mind you, Jo,
don't eat much at supper.
142
00:13:04,471 --> 00:13:06,890
And don't shake hands with people.
It isn't the thing anymore.
143
00:13:07,099 --> 00:13:10,018
- Jo, your dress!
- Oh, I know!
144
00:13:10,227 --> 00:13:12,771
You always stand too close to the fire.
145
00:13:12,980 --> 00:13:15,774
Oh, dear.
Well, just keep your backside to the wall.
146
00:13:15,983 --> 00:13:18,360
Meg, look. What cunning little heels.
147
00:13:18,568 --> 00:13:22,739
- They're rather small.
- That's all right. It's only for one night.
148
00:13:22,948 --> 00:13:25,701
You don't suppose anyone will notice
they came out of the rag bag, do you?
149
00:13:26,994 --> 00:13:28,286
You have to have heels.
150
00:13:30,998 --> 00:13:32,499
What's that strange smell?
151
00:13:34,626 --> 00:13:36,461
Like burnt feathers.
152
00:13:42,968 --> 00:13:45,595
- Heavens above.
- You've ruined me.
153
00:13:45,804 --> 00:13:49,975
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You shouldn't have had me do it.
154
00:13:50,183 --> 00:13:53,270
- Meg, don't worry. It'll grow back.
- I spoil everything.
155
00:13:54,146 --> 00:13:55,856
I can't go out like this.
156
00:13:56,064 --> 00:13:58,025
Well, good! I'm not going either.
157
00:13:58,233 --> 00:14:01,236
Here, we'll place my bow in front.
158
00:14:02,404 --> 00:14:05,115
- Yes, that covers it.
- It's very becoming, Meg.
159
00:14:05,323 --> 00:14:09,828
I'll never have any suitors.
I'll just be a dried-up old spinster.
160
00:14:10,037 --> 00:14:15,000
You don't need scores of suitors.
You only need one, if he's the right one.
161
00:14:15,208 --> 00:14:17,127
Listen to the child.
162
00:14:17,335 --> 00:14:20,922
Meg isn't going to
be married right away, is she?
163
00:14:21,131 --> 00:14:23,800
With Jo's help, I never will.
164
00:14:26,428 --> 00:14:30,849
- Oh, you must be so happy.
- Oh, Belle, it's enchanting.
165
00:14:32,225 --> 00:14:36,271
Well, I best go and help Mama.
Excuse me.
166
00:14:47,532 --> 00:14:51,119
I think it's Mrs. Barkley.
167
00:14:51,703 --> 00:14:53,371
She's going to try it. Watch her.
168
00:15:14,601 --> 00:15:19,481
Oh, yes, I would like it very much.
That's very kind.
169
00:15:29,366 --> 00:15:30,742
Jehoshaphat! I'm sorry.
170
00:15:30,951 --> 00:15:34,538
No, no, stay.
It's not a bad hiding place, is it?
171
00:15:34,746 --> 00:15:36,206
You see, I don't know anyone...
172
00:15:36,373 --> 00:15:38,792
...So I feel awkward
just standing and staring at people.
173
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,462
Should I put on my jacket?
I never know the rules.
174
00:15:43,255 --> 00:15:44,923
I'm Laurie.
175
00:15:45,132 --> 00:15:48,135
Theodore Laurence,
but I'm called Laurie.
176
00:15:48,343 --> 00:15:50,345
Jo March.
177
00:15:51,721 --> 00:15:54,141
So who were you staring at?
178
00:15:54,349 --> 00:15:58,311
You, actually.
What game were you playing?
179
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,189
I don't know, but I think I won.
180
00:16:01,398 --> 00:16:05,235
- Who else?
- Well, I was--
181
00:16:05,569 --> 00:16:07,863
I was quite taken with that one.
182
00:16:12,659 --> 00:16:16,454
That's Meg. That's my sister.
183
00:16:18,540 --> 00:16:21,376
She's completely bald in front.
184
00:16:22,460 --> 00:16:26,089
Is it true that you lived in Italy
among artists and vagrants?
185
00:16:26,298 --> 00:16:31,178
Well, my mother was Italian. A pianist.
186
00:16:33,221 --> 00:16:35,765
- Grandfather disapproved of her.
- Truly?
187
00:16:35,974 --> 00:16:39,060
I saw a play like that once.
Do you like the theater?
188
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:41,354
- Oh, yes.
- Were you born there?
189
00:16:41,563 --> 00:16:44,858
Where? In-- In Italy.
190
00:16:45,066 --> 00:16:47,736
- Do you speak French or Italian?
- English at home.
191
00:16:48,862 --> 00:16:51,698
The music conservatory in Vevey.
192
00:16:51,907 --> 00:16:53,366
But grandfather's having me tutored now.
193
00:16:53,575 --> 00:16:59,748
- He insists I go to college.
- Oh, I'd commit murder to go to college.
194
00:17:01,166 --> 00:17:04,127
Actually, I'm going to Europe.
195
00:17:04,336 --> 00:17:08,798
Well, at least I hope I am. My Great-Aunt
March says she'll go one of these days...
196
00:17:09,007 --> 00:17:12,177
...and she has to take me with her
because I work as her companion.
197
00:17:12,385 --> 00:17:15,722
I have to read to her for hours and hours.
198
00:17:15,931 --> 00:17:19,184
- But I do all the voices.
- I'll bet you do.
199
00:17:19,392 --> 00:17:24,397
If I weren't going to be a writer,
I'd go to New York and pursue the stage.
200
00:17:24,606 --> 00:17:28,318
- Are you shocked?
- Very.
201
00:17:37,202 --> 00:17:38,828
Sorry.
202
00:17:53,551 --> 00:17:57,389
I'm sorry. Meg always makes me
take the gentleman's part at home.
203
00:17:57,597 --> 00:18:00,141
It's a shame you don't know
the lady's part.
204
00:18:02,018 --> 00:18:03,937
Are you looking
at the back of my dress, you cheat?
205
00:18:04,145 --> 00:18:06,106
It doesn't look so bad. Honestly.
206
00:18:06,314 --> 00:18:08,608
You promised you wouldn't look.
207
00:18:08,817 --> 00:18:10,944
Oh, Jo. Jo, I've sprained my ankle.
208
00:18:11,152 --> 00:18:13,488
I shouldn't wonder, in those shoes.
Does it hurt?
209
00:18:13,655 --> 00:18:15,949
Oh, no, no. I'm quite well, thank you.
210
00:18:16,157 --> 00:18:19,828
Well, this is our neighbor,
Laurie, the captive.
211
00:18:20,203 --> 00:18:22,163
Oh, poor Meg. I'll go tell Mrs. Gardiner.
212
00:18:22,372 --> 00:18:24,958
Oh, no, Jo. She'll think
I've been sampling the punch.
213
00:18:25,166 --> 00:18:28,586
- A perfectly good party ruined.
- Well, I have my carriage.
214
00:18:28,795 --> 00:18:29,963
- Let me take you home.
- Oh, yes!
215
00:18:30,171 --> 00:18:31,965
Oh, no, thank you.
216
00:18:35,427 --> 00:18:36,970
Thank you.
217
00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:47,981
Here, lean on me. Thank you,
Mr. Laurence. That's very kind of you.
218
00:18:48,148 --> 00:18:49,524
- Not at all.
- Goodbye, Laurie.
219
00:18:49,691 --> 00:18:53,194
- Good night, Mrs. March.
- Meg, wherever did you get this shoe?
220
00:18:54,696 --> 00:18:58,033
Did you ride in his carriage?
Oh, you two have all the luck.
221
00:18:58,241 --> 00:19:01,870
- Oh, Jo, is he very romantic?
- Not in the slightest.
222
00:19:02,078 --> 00:19:05,206
Well, we're very much obliged to him,
but he's a dreadful boy.
223
00:19:05,415 --> 00:19:08,001
Well, he did a good deed
putting snow on this ankle.
224
00:19:08,209 --> 00:19:12,630
- He put snow on your ankle?
- To bed, Miss Amy.
225
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:15,967
- With his own hands?
- Oh, stop being so swoony.
226
00:19:16,176 --> 00:19:21,306
I won't have my girls
being silly about boys. To bed. Jo, dear.
227
00:19:21,514 --> 00:19:24,267
Does this hurt?
228
00:19:24,476 --> 00:19:27,145
- Everything lovely happens to Meg.
- Oh, yes indeed!
229
00:19:27,354 --> 00:19:29,856
You mustn't be soppy about Laurie
any more than you should be soppy...
230
00:19:30,065 --> 00:19:31,775
...about those silly girls at school.
231
00:19:31,941 --> 00:19:34,444
- I hope we shall be good friends with him.
- With a boy?
232
00:19:34,611 --> 00:19:37,739
He isn't a boy. He's Laurie.
233
00:19:40,158 --> 00:19:43,370
Faster!
234
00:19:46,664 --> 00:19:49,209
Faster!
235
00:19:49,417 --> 00:19:51,086
Faster!
236
00:19:51,294 --> 00:19:52,879
Laurie!
237
00:19:59,427 --> 00:20:02,222
Your young ladies are unusually active,
Mrs. March, if I may say so.
238
00:20:02,222 --> 00:20:03,390
Your young ladies are unusually active,
Mrs. March, if I may say so.
239
00:20:03,598 --> 00:20:05,934
You may indeed, Mr. Brooke.
240
00:20:06,142 --> 00:20:08,311
It's my opinion that young girls
are no different than boys...
241
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,604
...in their need for exertion.
242
00:20:09,813 --> 00:20:12,440
Feminine weakness
and fainting spells are the direct result...
243
00:20:12,649 --> 00:20:14,317
...of our confining young girls
to the house...
244
00:20:14,526 --> 00:20:17,779
...bent over their needlework
in restrictive corsets.
245
00:20:20,156 --> 00:20:22,367
Marmee.
246
00:20:22,867 --> 00:20:27,288
- Laurie.
- Your young student is an athlete.
247
00:20:28,415 --> 00:20:30,708
He is, thank you, a good one.
248
00:20:30,917 --> 00:20:33,211
But he makes an unruly scholar.
249
00:20:33,420 --> 00:20:36,131
I regret that his grandfather
is away much.
250
00:20:37,924 --> 00:20:41,177
One hopes that your girls
will be a gentling influence.
251
00:20:41,386 --> 00:20:43,638
Indeed, Mr. Brooke.
252
00:20:45,181 --> 00:20:49,436
Marmee, must you speak
to everyone about corsets?
253
00:20:49,644 --> 00:20:51,271
Oh, Meg.
254
00:20:51,479 --> 00:20:53,314
Do 1?
255
00:20:57,569 --> 00:21:00,822
Blast these wretched skirts!
256
00:21:01,322 --> 00:21:03,158
Don't say "blast” and "wretch."
257
00:21:03,366 --> 00:21:06,536
Amy, don't be such a ninny-pinny.
258
00:21:06,744 --> 00:21:09,831
I wish I was Beth so I could stay home
and do pleasant things.
259
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:13,918
Oh, if you call doing laundry
and housework pleasant.
260
00:21:14,335 --> 00:21:16,087
Blast.
261
00:21:16,296 --> 00:21:19,299
Amy, hurry. I'll be late for work.
262
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:24,095
There's Mrs. King. I'm tardy again.
263
00:21:26,514 --> 00:21:28,349
Lovely children.
264
00:21:28,558 --> 00:21:32,395
Oh, Meg, must I go to school?
I'm so degradatated.
265
00:21:32,604 --> 00:21:35,648
I can hardly hold my head up.
I owe at least a dozen limes.
266
00:21:35,857 --> 00:21:37,859
- Limes?
- Are limes the fashion now?
267
00:21:38,067 --> 00:21:40,487
Of course they are.
It's nothing but limes now.
268
00:21:40,695 --> 00:21:43,698
Everyone keeps them in their desks,
and trades them for beads and things.
269
00:21:43,907 --> 00:21:45,742
And all the girls treat each other
at recess.
270
00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:49,621
If you don't bring limes to school, you're
nothing. You might as well be dead.
271
00:21:49,829 --> 00:21:52,540
I've had ever so many limes,
and I can't pay anyone back.
272
00:21:52,749 --> 00:21:55,710
Well, no wonder you don't learn
anything at that school.
273
00:21:55,919 --> 00:21:58,296
I know how it feels to do
without any little luxuries.
274
00:21:58,505 --> 00:21:59,547
Meg!
275
00:21:59,756 --> 00:22:01,883
But we are not destitute, not yet.
276
00:22:02,091 --> 00:22:05,970
Here's a quarter. Marmee gave me
the rag money this month.
277
00:22:06,888 --> 00:22:08,431
Go on.
278
00:22:14,604 --> 00:22:19,609
"Secondly, the immortality of the soul...
279
00:22:19,817 --> 00:22:22,737
...Is asserted to be in consequence...
280
00:22:22,946 --> 00:22:25,240
...of its immateriality...
281
00:22:25,448 --> 00:22:28,576
...as in all leipothymic cases...
282
00:22:28,785 --> 00:22:33,998
...consistent with the idea of immortality...
283
00:22:34,207 --> 00:22:38,878
...and immorality, and physicality..."
284
00:22:39,087 --> 00:22:45,718
And I think you finally dozed off.
285
00:23:13,705 --> 00:23:16,874
Josephine, there's a draft!
286
00:23:26,801 --> 00:23:29,095
Is it father?
287
00:23:32,557 --> 00:23:34,309
Teacher struck me.
288
00:23:34,517 --> 00:23:37,645
He put the limes out into the snow.
289
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:44,736
May Chester said my limes must
have been donated to Hope House.
290
00:23:44,944 --> 00:23:48,948
And then I said that she wouldn't
get a single lime from me.
291
00:23:49,157 --> 00:23:51,951
And then she told Mr. Davis
they were hidden in my desk...
292
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,661
...and then he struck me.
293
00:23:53,870 --> 00:23:56,998
We ought to go over there and beat
the tar out of him with his own stick!
294
00:23:57,206 --> 00:24:00,501
Jo, we must not embrace violence.
295
00:24:00,710 --> 00:24:05,048
- No, I will write this man a letter.
- A letter? That'll show him.
296
00:24:05,423 --> 00:24:07,675
You failed to mention to me
they were forbidden.
297
00:24:07,842 --> 00:24:09,552
A whole month's rag money?
298
00:24:09,761 --> 00:24:14,015
- Amy, I shouldn't have given it to you.
- I'm sorry.
299
00:24:14,223 --> 00:24:17,852
All those lovely limes.
I'm perfectly desolated.
300
00:24:18,061 --> 00:24:19,854
Well, I'm not sorry you lost them.
301
00:24:20,063 --> 00:24:21,814
It's a frivolous concern
in times like these.
302
00:24:22,023 --> 00:24:24,233
You are more intent upon reshaping
your dear little nose...
303
00:24:24,442 --> 00:24:26,569
...than in fashioning your character.
304
00:24:26,778 --> 00:24:28,946
It's an appalling school.
Your spelling's atrocious...
305
00:24:29,155 --> 00:24:30,698
...your Latin absurd.
306
00:24:30,907 --> 00:24:35,787
Mr. Davis said it was as useful to educate
a woman as to educate a female cat.
307
00:24:38,122 --> 00:24:42,377
I really must strangle Mr. Davis.
308
00:24:43,044 --> 00:24:46,047
"Mr. Davis.
309
00:24:46,255 --> 00:24:48,049
What right have you to strike a child?
310
00:24:48,257 --> 00:24:51,427
In God's eyes, we are all children
and we are all equals.
311
00:24:51,594 --> 00:24:55,181
If you hit and humiliate a child,
the only lesson she will learn...
312
00:24:55,390 --> 00:24:57,517
...Is to hit and humiliate."
313
00:24:58,726 --> 00:25:02,105
Amy, do you think you can
discipline yourself...
314
00:25:02,313 --> 00:25:04,023
...to learn at home as Beth has done?
315
00:25:08,027 --> 00:25:10,321
"I withdraw my daughter Amy
from your school.”
316
00:25:10,530 --> 00:25:11,906
It serves the scoundrel right.
317
00:25:12,073 --> 00:25:15,159
Jo will now supervise your education.
318
00:25:24,877 --> 00:25:27,046
Jo, tell me what happens next...
319
00:25:27,255 --> 00:25:31,843
...after the duke turns his back on
his family fortune and saves Lady Zara.
320
00:25:32,051 --> 00:25:35,763
Don't know. It's all murder and gore.
321
00:25:35,972 --> 00:25:40,351
- The damsel's in distress.
- Oh, I love your damsels in distress.
322
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,940
Oh, Beth, truly, I don't know
if I could ever be good like Marmee.
323
00:25:46,441 --> 00:25:49,986
I rather crave violence.
324
00:25:50,445 --> 00:25:52,071
If only I could be like Father...
325
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:57,535
...and go to war and stand up
to the lions of injustice.
326
00:25:57,744 --> 00:26:00,538
And so Marmee does
in her own way.
327
00:26:00,747 --> 00:26:02,540
Yes.
328
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,085
But I want to do something different.
329
00:26:06,377 --> 00:26:10,006
I don't know what it is yet,
but I'm on the watch for it.
330
00:26:10,214 --> 00:26:12,592
You will find it, Jo.
331
00:26:21,934 --> 00:26:23,811
Hello! Jo!
332
00:26:24,020 --> 00:26:28,024
Come over here. You too, Meg.
It's dull as tombs around here.
333
00:26:28,232 --> 00:26:31,861
Mr. Laurence, one doesn't shout at ladies
as if they were cattle.
334
00:26:39,535 --> 00:26:40,870
My apologies!
335
00:26:51,506 --> 00:26:53,174
All right.
336
00:27:05,311 --> 00:27:08,105
What do those girls do
over there all day?
337
00:27:08,314 --> 00:27:10,733
Over the mysteries of female life...
338
00:27:10,942 --> 00:27:15,363
...there is drawn a veil
best left undisturbed.
339
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,016
Oh, dear countess, pray for me...
340
00:27:44,225 --> 00:27:47,812
...for I have sinned against meself
and me brother Rodrigo.
341
00:27:48,020 --> 00:27:51,566
You've got to say "sinned"
as if you've really sinned.
342
00:27:51,774 --> 00:27:54,694
Sinned. Sinned.
343
00:27:55,528 --> 00:27:57,071
Rodrigo.
344
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,449
You arrive seeking
the Duke of Lankershire.
345
00:28:01,158 --> 00:28:03,619
Hark ye. Who goes there?
346
00:28:03,828 --> 00:28:05,538
Oh, I forgot the cymbals.
347
00:28:05,746 --> 00:28:09,709
Why it's-- It's Rodrigo!
348
00:28:10,418 --> 00:28:14,463
- Rodrigo.
- I want to be Lady Violet.
349
00:28:14,672 --> 00:28:17,842
I'm exhaustified of being the boy.
350
00:28:18,050 --> 00:28:22,471
The play is the thing, Amy.
You're too little to be Lady Violet.
351
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,682
Here,
be the Countess de Montanescu.
352
00:28:24,891 --> 00:28:29,186
- You don't have any lines.
- Besides, who would be our Rodrigo?
353
00:28:31,939 --> 00:28:33,774
Gentlemen...
354
00:28:35,401 --> 00:28:40,197
...propose the admission
of a new member to our theatrical society.
355
00:28:40,406 --> 00:28:42,408
Theodore Laurence.
We'll put it to a vote.
356
00:28:42,575 --> 00:28:45,912
Nay. He'll laugh at our acting,
and poke fun at us later.
357
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,455
He'll think it's only a game.
358
00:28:47,663 --> 00:28:49,749
No, he won't.
Upon my word as a gentleman.
359
00:28:49,957 --> 00:28:53,586
Jo, when it's only ladies, we don't guard
our conduct in the same way.
360
00:28:53,794 --> 00:28:56,797
We bear our souls and tell
the most appalling secrets.
361
00:28:57,006 --> 00:28:58,215
He would find us improper.
362
00:28:58,382 --> 00:29:01,552
Oh, Teddy would do nothing of the sort.
363
00:29:02,386 --> 00:29:04,555
Oh, please. Let's try him.
364
00:29:04,764 --> 00:29:06,557
Shall we?
365
00:29:08,935 --> 00:29:10,019
- Jo!
- Jo, you traitor!
366
00:29:10,227 --> 00:29:13,940
Fellow artists, may I present myself...
367
00:29:14,148 --> 00:29:17,318
...as an actor, a musician, and a loyal...
368
00:29:17,526 --> 00:29:21,530
-...and very humble servant of the club.
- We'll be the judge of that.
369
00:29:21,739 --> 00:29:25,159
In token of my gratitude,
and as a means of promoting...
370
00:29:25,368 --> 00:29:27,578
...communication between
adjoining nations...
371
00:29:27,787 --> 00:29:32,416
...shouting from windows being forbidden,
I shall provide...
372
00:29:33,209 --> 00:29:36,087
...a post office in our hedge...
373
00:29:36,295 --> 00:29:40,591
...to further encourage
the baring of our souls...
374
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,095
...and the telling
of our most appalling secrets.
375
00:29:47,682 --> 00:29:49,266
I do pledge...
376
00:29:49,475 --> 00:29:53,354
...never to reveal
what I receive in confidence here.
377
00:29:57,692 --> 00:29:59,568
Well, then...
378
00:30:01,612 --> 00:30:02,822
...do take your place, Rodrigo.
379
00:30:02,822 --> 00:30:04,407
...do take your place, Rodrigo.
380
00:30:04,615 --> 00:30:08,160
Sir Rodrigo.
381
00:30:14,667 --> 00:30:18,713
And so Laurie was admitted
as an equal into our society...
382
00:30:18,921 --> 00:30:21,424
...and we March girls could enjoy
the daily novelty...
383
00:30:21,632 --> 00:30:25,219
...of having a real brother
of our very own.
384
00:30:29,098 --> 00:30:32,977
I want to go to the theater.
I never get to go anywhere.
385
00:30:33,185 --> 00:30:36,313
You're too little. Beth, where in tarnation
are Marmee's opera glasses?
386
00:30:36,522 --> 00:30:39,817
I'm not too little.
You're just hogging Laurie.
387
00:30:40,026 --> 00:30:41,527
Please, can't I go?
388
00:30:41,736 --> 00:30:44,488
Oh, Amy, I'm afraid Laurie
only reserved four seats.
389
00:30:44,697 --> 00:30:45,740
Do I look too shabby?
390
00:30:45,948 --> 00:30:47,867
Oh, Jehoshaphat, Meg,
this isn't a coronation.
391
00:30:48,075 --> 00:30:51,537
It's just Laurie
and that awful Mr. Brooke.
392
00:30:51,746 --> 00:30:54,665
Jo, can't you ask Teddy
to get another ticket?
393
00:30:54,832 --> 00:30:56,042
No.
394
00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:58,085
You have a cold, dear. Rest your eyes.
395
00:30:58,294 --> 00:31:00,671
Evangeline and I will make
you some ginger tea.
396
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,506
You're weeks behind in algebra.
397
00:31:02,715 --> 00:31:04,759
Now, I want you to do all the pages
that I've marked.
398
00:31:04,967 --> 00:31:07,386
I won't have a sister
who's a lazy ignoramus.
399
00:31:07,595 --> 00:31:10,264
And don't sulk.
You look like a pigeon.
400
00:31:12,058 --> 00:31:13,601
Good night.
401
00:31:17,897 --> 00:31:20,691
You'll be sorry for this, Jo March!
402
00:31:28,491 --> 00:31:29,950
Whoa, there.
403
00:31:34,205 --> 00:31:35,748
Thank you.
404
00:31:36,415 --> 00:31:40,294
Oh, Mrs. Nell Watson.
Wasn't she a wonderful swooner?
405
00:31:40,503 --> 00:31:42,254
If only I were the swooning type.
406
00:31:42,463 --> 00:31:45,424
If only I were the catching type.
407
00:31:45,633 --> 00:31:50,930
Young Laurence informs me that you are
an aficionado of the theater, Miss March.
408
00:31:52,056 --> 00:31:54,975
- Well, I... I enjoy reading plays.
- Yes.
409
00:31:55,184 --> 00:31:59,063
I find it most pleasurable, myself.
410
00:31:59,271 --> 00:32:01,732
Though, I confess,
I'm distracted at the theater...
411
00:32:01,941 --> 00:32:05,111
...thinking of the peculiar lives
of the actors themselves.
412
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:08,405
When one considers the immodesties
Mrs. Nell Watson suffers...
413
00:32:08,614 --> 00:32:11,784
...one wonders what sort of lady
would seek such a life.
414
00:32:11,992 --> 00:32:14,245
Meg is a sensational actress.
415
00:32:14,453 --> 00:32:17,123
We're always putting on
wild theatricals.
416
00:32:17,331 --> 00:32:20,251
Oh, it's just something that we play at.
417
00:32:21,127 --> 00:32:27,049
Well, as a matter of fact,
at school, I engaged in debating.
418
00:32:27,258 --> 00:32:32,221
What do you think of that?
Let's see what they do.
419
00:32:41,272 --> 00:32:44,608
- I had a wonderful time, Mr. Brooke.
- As did I.
420
00:32:44,817 --> 00:32:46,443
It was a most delightful evening.
421
00:32:46,610 --> 00:32:51,282
- And I'd very much like--
- Thank you very much. Good night.
422
00:32:51,490 --> 00:32:53,826
- Oh, good night.
- Good night.
423
00:32:57,788 --> 00:33:01,542
- That was rude.
- You plastered yourself on him.
424
00:33:01,750 --> 00:33:03,669
It's proper to take a gentleman's arm
if it's offered.
425
00:33:03,878 --> 00:33:07,006
How was the theater? Amusing?
426
00:33:07,631 --> 00:33:13,179
It was wonderful. I was absolutely
inspired by the love scene.
427
00:33:15,097 --> 00:33:18,684
You look flushed, Meg, dear.
Was the theater overcrowded?
428
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,900
Still sulking?
429
00:33:36,660 --> 00:33:38,954
Beth, where did I put my manuscript?
430
00:33:39,163 --> 00:33:40,748
Beth.
431
00:33:52,051 --> 00:33:55,721
No. No. No.
432
00:33:59,975 --> 00:34:01,310
I didn't do it!
433
00:34:02,228 --> 00:34:05,981
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
434
00:34:06,190 --> 00:34:10,486
- Marmee, help me!
- I'm gonna kill you! Do you hear me?
435
00:34:10,653 --> 00:34:12,363
- How could you do this to me?
- Marmee!
436
00:34:12,571 --> 00:34:14,031
- Marmee!
- Jo!
437
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:16,408
- Jo, stop it. You're hurting her.
- Marmee!
438
00:34:16,617 --> 00:34:18,744
- Marmee!
- Jo! Jo! Let go of her!
439
00:34:18,953 --> 00:34:22,998
- What's happened? Jo. All right.
- I hate you! I hate you!
440
00:34:23,415 --> 00:34:25,251
No, Jo!
441
00:34:25,459 --> 00:34:27,920
Don't touch it. Let it go, sweetheart.
442
00:34:28,128 --> 00:34:30,214
Come, just let it go.
443
00:34:31,423 --> 00:34:34,343
You're dead! You're nothing!
444
00:34:34,718 --> 00:34:37,763
I never want to see you again!
445
00:34:48,315 --> 00:34:52,444
It is a very great loss,
and you have every right to be put out.
446
00:34:52,778 --> 00:34:55,030
But don't let the sun go down
upon your anger.
447
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,243
Forgive each other.
Begin again tomorrow, huh?
448
00:34:59,451 --> 00:35:02,079
I will never forgive her.
449
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:08,961
I'm sorry, Jo.
450
00:35:32,151 --> 00:35:34,778
Looks like the last ice
we'll have this year.
451
00:35:36,447 --> 00:35:37,614
Say "go."
452
00:35:37,823 --> 00:35:41,076
Laurie, Jo, wait for me!
453
00:35:41,285 --> 00:35:43,162
Ignore her.
454
00:35:43,370 --> 00:35:45,831
Ready-- Blast!
455
00:35:47,624 --> 00:35:49,335
You cheat!
456
00:35:52,755 --> 00:35:54,923
Jo, please.
457
00:36:14,485 --> 00:36:16,153
- Jo!
- Amy!
458
00:36:16,362 --> 00:36:20,616
- Jo!
- Hold on! I'm coming!
459
00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:25,579
Hold on, Amy.
460
00:36:28,207 --> 00:36:29,958
Get a rail!
461
00:36:34,213 --> 00:36:36,215
Grab the stick, Amy.
462
00:36:37,591 --> 00:36:39,093
- Grab it!
- Come on!
463
00:36:42,846 --> 00:36:44,556
- Hold on!
- Hold on. Hold on.
464
00:36:51,563 --> 00:36:54,566
- There we go. That's it, that's it.
- All right.
465
00:36:54,775 --> 00:36:55,818
There we go.
466
00:36:57,569 --> 00:37:00,406
Josephine March, you walked
all the way from Walden Pond...
467
00:37:00,614 --> 00:37:04,243
-...in only these bloomers?
- As if she even noticed.
468
00:37:04,451 --> 00:37:07,871
- Dear Amy.
- How could I have been so horrible?
469
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,206
Thank God for Laurie.
470
00:37:10,290 --> 00:37:12,918
Jo, do you love Laurie
more than you love me?
471
00:37:13,127 --> 00:37:14,711
Oh, don't be such a beetle.
472
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,381
I could never love anyone
as I love my sisters.
473
00:37:17,589 --> 00:37:19,758
I'm not a beetle.
474
00:37:19,967 --> 00:37:22,302
Oh, look out.
You're leaving out the best part.
475
00:37:22,511 --> 00:37:25,431
When Lady Zara succumbs
to the duke's rival.
476
00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:27,099
Oh, right, yes.
477
00:37:27,307 --> 00:37:29,435
Sir Hugo.
478
00:37:29,810 --> 00:37:32,396
I quite prefer him, myself.
479
00:37:38,902 --> 00:37:41,405
In the spring, we turned
Orchard House upside down...
480
00:37:41,613 --> 00:37:45,742
...with preparations for Meg
to attend Sally Moffat's coming out.
481
00:37:45,951 --> 00:37:50,247
Myself, I'd sooner have been hung
by the neck than attend a fancy ball.
482
00:37:50,456 --> 00:37:53,250
Wait till all of Boston
sees you in this dress, Meg.
483
00:37:53,459 --> 00:37:55,294
I told Laurie he has to show you off...
484
00:37:55,461 --> 00:37:58,172
...and keep you from being a wallflower
upon penalty of death.
485
00:37:58,380 --> 00:38:01,258
Oh, where is that miserable glove?
486
00:38:01,467 --> 00:38:05,929
Abigail, I shake my head
at the way you're managing Margaret.
487
00:38:06,138 --> 00:38:08,765
How is she to be married
without a proper debut?
488
00:38:08,974 --> 00:38:10,601
Now, auntie,
in our present circumstances--
489
00:38:10,809 --> 00:38:14,855
Your circumstances will not change
with your husband's return.
490
00:38:15,063 --> 00:38:19,735
My nephew is as foolish with money
as he is in his new philosophies.
491
00:38:20,527 --> 00:38:25,157
The one hope for your family
is for Margaret to marry well...
492
00:38:25,365 --> 00:38:28,202
...though I don't know
who marries governesses.
493
00:38:28,410 --> 00:38:29,703
Marmee!
494
00:38:29,912 --> 00:38:33,332
And this one has entirely ruined
her disposition with books.
495
00:38:33,540 --> 00:38:35,751
Oh, are those for me, Josephine?
496
00:38:35,959 --> 00:38:37,794
No. Meg's taking them to the Moffats'.
497
00:38:38,003 --> 00:38:40,964
Marmee, Meg's frantic. She lost her glove
and she only has one pair.
498
00:38:41,173 --> 00:38:44,718
Now, she cannot go without gloves.
The Moffats are society.
499
00:38:44,927 --> 00:38:48,347
You're absolutely correct.
Tell Meg she may borrow mine.
500
00:38:49,681 --> 00:38:52,184
Meg, you can take Marmee's!
501
00:38:52,392 --> 00:38:54,061
Oh, dear.
502
00:38:56,730 --> 00:38:59,441
- More tea?
- No, thank you.
503
00:39:14,790 --> 00:39:19,127
Sally Moffat, you won't be able
to draw your laces.
504
00:39:19,336 --> 00:39:22,381
At my coming out party,
I didn't eat for weeks beforehand.
505
00:39:28,428 --> 00:39:31,098
Oh, Meg, I do like that color on you.
506
00:39:31,306 --> 00:39:33,684
It's just like forget-me-nots.
507
00:39:33,892 --> 00:39:37,062
The nicest I've seen that kind of fabric
since the war broke out.
508
00:39:37,271 --> 00:39:40,190
But you had it made up so plain.
509
00:39:40,524 --> 00:39:43,694
Well, I do my own sewing, and--
510
00:39:43,902 --> 00:39:47,197
Mrs. Finster's on Charles Street
carries silk pieces ready-made.
511
00:39:47,406 --> 00:39:50,867
- Tomorrow I'll take you there.
- Marches haven't bought silk in years.
512
00:39:51,076 --> 00:39:53,537
They have views on slavery.
513
00:39:53,745 --> 00:39:56,039
Meg, isn't it true
that your father's school had to close...
514
00:39:56,248 --> 00:39:58,250
...when he admitted a little dark girl?
515
00:39:59,668 --> 00:40:01,628
The silk of Mrs. Finster's
isn't milled in the South.
516
00:40:01,837 --> 00:40:03,422
- It's made right here, over in Linfield.
- This isn't China silk?
517
00:40:03,422 --> 00:40:05,716
- It's made right here, over in Linfield.
- This isn't China silk?
518
00:40:05,924 --> 00:40:09,886
They use little children for labor.
All the silk mills do.
519
00:40:11,388 --> 00:40:14,016
The poor are always with us.
520
00:40:14,224 --> 00:40:16,101
You are so good to remind us.
521
00:40:21,607 --> 00:40:23,859
May I tell you something?
522
00:40:24,526 --> 00:40:27,029
This is an afternoon dress.
523
00:40:27,529 --> 00:40:29,406
I'm going to make you my pet.
524
00:40:29,615 --> 00:40:31,700
Hortense?
525
00:40:34,870 --> 00:40:39,291
Tonight, Miss March shall
have as many conquests as she likes.
526
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:42,919
You have no corset.
527
00:40:54,681 --> 00:40:56,141
Come on.
528
00:41:07,235 --> 00:41:08,403
- No, thank you.
- Yes, it's charming.
529
00:41:08,612 --> 00:41:11,990
- Not for me, thank you.
- Ibelieve the next dance is the polka.
530
00:41:12,199 --> 00:41:15,702
- With me.
- I would dance with you, Mr. Parker...
531
00:41:15,911 --> 00:41:17,746
...but I fear for my new slippers.
532
00:41:17,954 --> 00:41:21,458
My credo is, "Don't tread on me."
533
00:41:22,918 --> 00:41:27,714
Miss March. I thought your family
were temperance people.
534
00:41:27,923 --> 00:41:29,716
Laurie.
535
00:41:31,301 --> 00:41:34,554
- Oh, no.
- No, no, don't cover up.
536
00:41:34,763 --> 00:41:38,308
There may be one or two gentlemen here
who haven't seen all of your charms.
537
00:41:38,517 --> 00:41:41,645
And I did promise Jo
I would show you off.
538
00:41:41,853 --> 00:41:44,189
The girls dressed me up,
and I rather like it.
539
00:41:44,398 --> 00:41:48,318
Yes, well, it reveals a whole new Meg.
540
00:41:49,277 --> 00:41:51,154
What do you call this?
541
00:42:07,796 --> 00:42:09,256
Meg.
542
00:42:11,550 --> 00:42:13,343
I'm sorry.
543
00:42:14,678 --> 00:42:17,681
Please don't tell Jo how I've behaved.
544
00:42:17,889 --> 00:42:19,725
Of course not.
545
00:42:20,225 --> 00:42:23,395
If you won't tell anyone
how I've behaved.
546
00:42:23,603 --> 00:42:25,981
I was only playing a part...
547
00:42:26,189 --> 00:42:29,484
...to see how it felt
to be Belle Gardiner...
548
00:42:29,693 --> 00:42:32,612
...with four proposals
and 20 pairs of gloves.
549
00:42:32,821 --> 00:42:34,156
You're worth 10 of those other girls.
550
00:42:34,364 --> 00:42:37,701
Did you see the way this March girl
has gone after the Laurence heir?
551
00:42:37,909 --> 00:42:41,121
Best thing that could happen
to the Marches.
552
00:42:47,169 --> 00:42:48,378
This ridiculous dress.
553
00:42:48,587 --> 00:42:51,631
I've been tripping over it all night.
554
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,219
Tie something around your neck
where it could do you some good.
555
00:42:58,054 --> 00:43:01,016
I don't like people speculating
about Laurie and our Meg...
556
00:43:01,224 --> 00:43:04,227
...as if they were characters
in some play.
557
00:43:04,436 --> 00:43:06,313
And nothing provokes
speculation more...
558
00:43:06,521 --> 00:43:09,649
...than the sight of a woman
enjoying herself.
559
00:43:09,941 --> 00:43:13,195
Why is it Laurie may do as he likes,
and flirt and tipple champagne--?
560
00:43:13,403 --> 00:43:15,906
And no one thinks the less of him?
561
00:43:16,114 --> 00:43:18,492
Well, I suppose
for one practical reason:
562
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:21,661
Laurie is a man, and as such...
563
00:43:21,870 --> 00:43:25,832
...he may vote, and hold property
and pursue any profession he pleases.
564
00:43:26,041 --> 00:43:29,669
And so he is not so easily demeaned.
565
00:43:29,878 --> 00:43:32,798
Why should anyone care
what they think?
566
00:43:33,381 --> 00:43:35,091
I do.
567
00:43:35,509 --> 00:43:38,720
It's nice to be praised and admired.
I couldn't help but like it.
568
00:43:38,929 --> 00:43:41,223
Of course not.
569
00:43:41,431 --> 00:43:44,351
I only care what you think of yourself.
570
00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:47,896
If you feel your value lies
in being merely decorative...
571
00:43:48,104 --> 00:43:49,940
...I fear that someday
you might find yourself...
572
00:43:50,148 --> 00:43:52,526
...believing that's all that you really are.
573
00:43:53,276 --> 00:43:57,697
Time erodes all such beauty.
But what it cannot diminish...
574
00:43:57,906 --> 00:44:00,575
...is the wonderful workings
of your mind.
575
00:44:00,784 --> 00:44:03,745
Your humor, your kindness...
576
00:44:03,954 --> 00:44:05,580
...and your moral courage.
577
00:44:05,789 --> 00:44:08,792
These are the things
I cherish so in you.
578
00:44:09,626 --> 00:44:13,463
I so wish I could give my girls
a more just world.
579
00:44:13,672 --> 00:44:16,132
I know you'll make it a better place.
580
00:44:26,726 --> 00:44:31,439
Resounded.
Resounded with song of the nightingale.
581
00:44:31,648 --> 00:44:33,275
With a gush--
582
00:44:34,276 --> 00:44:35,902
With a gush--
583
00:44:37,529 --> 00:44:38,780
No.
584
00:44:52,168 --> 00:44:54,045
No, I don't want them now.
585
00:44:54,254 --> 00:44:56,339
And keep the music.
I won't be going near a piano for ages.
586
00:44:56,548 --> 00:45:00,385
You need your books in college.
Here's your Dombey and Sons.
587
00:45:00,594 --> 00:45:02,304
I could've sworn
there was another volume.
588
00:45:02,512 --> 00:45:06,975
Honestly, Jo. I won't be taking
all of Dickens to Harvard with me.
589
00:45:07,183 --> 00:45:11,146
Oh, no. You'll have
much more important things to read.
590
00:45:13,815 --> 00:45:16,401
Nothing's going to change, Jo.
591
00:45:16,860 --> 00:45:18,987
I wish I could go.
592
00:45:20,196 --> 00:45:22,032
I wish you could too.
593
00:45:23,116 --> 00:45:25,660
You'll come back knowing
all sorts of things I don't know...
594
00:45:25,869 --> 00:45:28,163
...and then I'll hate you.
595
00:45:30,999 --> 00:45:33,460
Well, as it happens...
596
00:45:33,668 --> 00:45:36,838
...I already know something
you don't know.
597
00:45:37,213 --> 00:45:41,885
About Meg
and a certain former tutor of mine...
598
00:45:42,093 --> 00:45:45,221
...soon to be employed at the firm
of Laurence and Laurence.
599
00:45:45,430 --> 00:45:46,556
Liar.
600
00:45:47,349 --> 00:45:51,186
Has Meg mislaid a certain
personal article...
601
00:45:51,394 --> 00:45:55,649
...such as a glove?
602
00:45:59,402 --> 00:46:02,572
Meg, John Brooke stole your glove.
603
00:46:02,781 --> 00:46:04,908
What glove? Not my white one?
604
00:46:05,116 --> 00:46:08,411
Brooke's had it forever.
Laurie says he keeps it in his pocket.
605
00:46:08,620 --> 00:46:12,082
You must tell him to return it. Hannah,
don't you think he ought to give it back?
606
00:46:12,290 --> 00:46:14,668
It isn't what I think that matters.
607
00:46:14,876 --> 00:46:17,295
Jo? Meg?
608
00:46:19,506 --> 00:46:21,341
It's a telegram...
609
00:46:21,549 --> 00:46:23,885
...from Washington Hospital.
610
00:46:24,094 --> 00:46:26,429
Your father's been wounded.
611
00:46:33,228 --> 00:46:34,729
- Come on, Amy. That's it.
- There are six.
612
00:46:34,938 --> 00:46:36,356
The household account
is in this ledger.
613
00:46:36,564 --> 00:46:38,441
It should see you through
to the end of the month.
614
00:46:38,650 --> 00:46:40,527
- Of course. Don't worry about us.
- Oh, Beth?
615
00:46:40,735 --> 00:46:42,362
Dear, look in on the Hummels for me,
will you?
616
00:46:42,570 --> 00:46:43,989
I will, Marmee.
617
00:46:44,197 --> 00:46:46,157
Where's Jo? It's almost 6.
618
00:46:46,366 --> 00:46:48,994
Doing battle with Aunt March
for Marmee's railway ticket.
619
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,205
Amy, would you carry a letter
to Mrs. Juba at the Hope House.
620
00:46:52,414 --> 00:46:54,582
John. Mr. Brooke.
621
00:46:54,791 --> 00:46:58,086
I've come to offer myself
as an escort to your mother.
622
00:46:58,294 --> 00:47:01,131
Cook packed this up, and grandfather
sends a bottle of spirits for Mr. March.
623
00:47:01,339 --> 00:47:04,551
- Oh, that's lovely, Laurie. Thank you.
- Marmee.
624
00:47:05,260 --> 00:47:06,428
- Mr. Brooke is here.
- Mrs. March.
625
00:47:06,636 --> 00:47:07,679
Mr. Brooke.
626
00:47:07,887 --> 00:47:09,597
As young Laurence no longer requires
a tutor...
627
00:47:09,806 --> 00:47:12,100
...Mr. Laurence has commissions
for me in Washington.
628
00:47:12,308 --> 00:47:14,394
I should like to be of service
to you there.
629
00:47:14,602 --> 00:47:17,772
- We couldn't let you travel alone.
- Oh, Mr. Brooke, how kind of you.
630
00:47:17,981 --> 00:47:20,400
- May 1?7 Are we to go on the 6:00 train?
- Thank you.
631
00:47:20,608 --> 00:47:23,236
- Yes, I sent Jo off, but she hasn't re--
- I'm here!
632
00:47:23,445 --> 00:47:25,488
Jo. Finally.
633
00:47:25,697 --> 00:47:28,324
Twenty-five.
Can Aunt March spare this?
634
00:47:28,533 --> 00:47:31,494
I couldn't bear to ask her.
635
00:47:31,703 --> 00:47:35,582
- I sold my hair.
- Jo, how could you?
636
00:47:35,790 --> 00:47:39,669
- Your one beauty.
- It won't affect the state of the union.
637
00:47:39,878 --> 00:47:42,422
- It'll grow back.
- It suits you.
638
00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:44,257
Tell father that we love him.
639
00:47:45,967 --> 00:47:48,261
- Tell him we pray for him.
- Bring him home.
640
00:47:48,470 --> 00:47:51,723
- I'll never forget his kindness.
- Oh, Hannah, thank you.
641
00:47:56,811 --> 00:47:59,939
Oh, I shall miss my little women.
642
00:48:22,629 --> 00:48:25,507
Are you thinking about father?
643
00:48:26,883 --> 00:48:29,344
No. My hair.
644
00:48:44,109 --> 00:48:48,196
- Harder.
- Yeah, I hit him on the noggin.
645
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,244
Wait for me!
646
00:48:56,371 --> 00:48:58,832
Blast! Oh, dear.
647
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,792
- This stove.
- We'll eat them anyway.
648
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,669
There's no more cornmeal nor coffee.
649
00:49:02,836 --> 00:49:05,672
The grocer won't let us have any more
on account.
650
00:49:06,422 --> 00:49:09,092
- What can I bring the Hummels?
- Oh, fry the Hummels.
651
00:49:09,259 --> 00:49:11,678
- You spent hours there last week.
- The boys are sick.
652
00:49:11,886 --> 00:49:14,013
I mustn't write of this to Marmee.
653
00:49:14,222 --> 00:49:18,143
- She has enough burdens now.
- I hate money.
654
00:49:21,437 --> 00:49:23,690
Your potatoes!
655
00:49:24,858 --> 00:49:27,110
Come on! Here!
656
00:49:27,318 --> 00:49:29,654
Air the beds.
And be careful cleaning.
657
00:49:29,863 --> 00:49:34,367
- And don't forget your studies, Amy.
- won't. I will. Go!
658
00:49:50,592 --> 00:49:53,344
- Beth.
- Christine.
659
00:49:59,017 --> 00:50:03,188
I don't understand.
I brought you a potato.
660
00:50:38,431 --> 00:50:41,267
Laurie's home for the weekend!
In need of funds, no doubt.
661
00:50:41,476 --> 00:50:45,188
We'd have a week's groceries
with what he spends on billiards.
662
00:50:46,814 --> 00:50:49,484
Oh, Jehoshaphat.
663
00:50:55,198 --> 00:50:57,533
Meg! Meg, you won't believe it!
664
00:50:57,742 --> 00:50:59,452
I've sold
The Lost Duke of Gloucester!
665
00:50:59,619 --> 00:51:00,870
Five whole dollars!
666
00:51:01,079 --> 00:51:02,872
I'm an author!
667
00:51:03,081 --> 00:51:04,624
Beth?
668
00:51:05,291 --> 00:51:07,418
The Hummel baby is sick.
669
00:51:10,713 --> 00:51:13,675
I feel so strange.
670
00:51:17,387 --> 00:51:20,306
She's burning up,
but she says that she's freezing.
671
00:51:20,515 --> 00:51:22,350
She has a terrible thirst,
but she won't drink.
672
00:51:22,558 --> 00:51:25,645
Sounds like Arsenicum,
but she looks more like belladonna.
673
00:51:25,853 --> 00:51:27,730
I saw the Hummels.
674
00:51:27,939 --> 00:51:30,900
Two children taken up to Jesus.
Scarlet fever.
675
00:51:31,109 --> 00:51:32,819
You and Miss Jo won't be harmed.
676
00:51:33,027 --> 00:51:34,612
You had it when you were babies.
677
00:51:34,821 --> 00:51:38,825
But, Miss Amy,
we have to send you away.
678
00:51:46,749 --> 00:51:48,793
She won't die.
679
00:51:49,460 --> 00:51:53,840
Will she, Laurie?
God wouldn't let her die.
680
00:51:55,508 --> 00:51:58,344
I don't wanna go away.
681
00:51:58,845 --> 00:52:01,097
I'll come and see you every day.
682
00:52:01,306 --> 00:52:04,350
I swear it. You won't be alone.
683
00:52:10,023 --> 00:52:12,150
I'm afraid of Aunt March.
684
00:52:14,902 --> 00:52:16,487
If she's unkind to you...
685
00:52:16,696 --> 00:52:21,409
-...I'll come and take you away.
- Where will we go?
686
00:52:22,910 --> 00:52:24,662
Paris?
687
00:52:28,541 --> 00:52:31,336
If I get scarlet fever and die...
688
00:52:31,544 --> 00:52:34,464
...give Meg my box
with the green doves on it.
689
00:52:34,672 --> 00:52:38,551
- And Jo must have my turquoise ring.
- I'll see to that.
690
00:52:39,677 --> 00:52:41,888
I don't wanna die.
691
00:52:43,014 --> 00:52:46,059
I've never even been kissed.
692
00:52:46,267 --> 00:52:48,978
I've waited my whole life
to be kissed.
693
00:52:49,187 --> 00:52:51,397
And what if I miss it?
694
00:52:51,606 --> 00:52:53,816
I tell you what.
695
00:52:54,359 --> 00:52:58,154
I promise to kiss you before you die.
696
00:53:20,510 --> 00:53:22,845
I don't know.
I don't think Marmee should leave Father.
697
00:53:23,054 --> 00:53:25,014
Beth needs Marmee.
She depends on her.
698
00:53:25,223 --> 00:53:27,642
But what if we send for her
and Father gets worse?
699
00:53:27,850 --> 00:53:31,646
How in the name of all that's holy
would we pay for the train?
700
00:53:33,189 --> 00:53:36,651
"That he profane not
my sancteraries--"
701
00:53:36,859 --> 00:53:40,321
- Sanctuary.
-"Sanctuaries.
702
00:53:40,530 --> 00:53:44,450
For I, the Lord,
do sanctify them.
703
00:53:44,659 --> 00:53:48,704
And Moses told it
unto Aaron and to his sons...
704
00:53:48,913 --> 00:53:52,417
...and unto all the children of Israel."
705
00:53:55,545 --> 00:53:57,296
Go on.
706
00:54:00,675 --> 00:54:03,386
"And the Lord spake
unto Moses saying--"
707
00:54:08,516 --> 00:54:11,394
Jo, Mr. Laurence is here.
708
00:54:16,482 --> 00:54:20,361
If we may, I wish my personal physician,
Dr. Bangs...
709
00:54:20,570 --> 00:54:22,905
...to examine the little girl.
710
00:54:38,588 --> 00:54:40,131
There's nothing to be done.
711
00:54:40,339 --> 00:54:44,343
If I bleed her, it would finish her.
712
00:54:44,552 --> 00:54:47,680
- Best to send for the mother.
- Forgive me.
713
00:54:47,889 --> 00:54:51,851
I've already done so.
Mrs. March arrives on the train this night.
714
00:54:54,854 --> 00:54:56,689
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
715
00:54:56,898 --> 00:54:58,691
Blessed art thou
amongst women and bless--
716
00:55:02,987 --> 00:55:04,489
Jo!
717
00:55:08,701 --> 00:55:12,872
Cricket. Marmee's here.
718
00:55:17,543 --> 00:55:19,754
Icy cold. Jo.
719
00:55:20,838 --> 00:55:23,925
Jo, fetch a basin
with vinegar water and some rags.
720
00:55:24,133 --> 00:55:26,427
Meg, my kit.
721
00:55:26,636 --> 00:55:29,597
Must draw the fever down
from her head.
722
00:55:29,805 --> 00:55:31,891
It's all right.
723
00:55:32,099 --> 00:55:33,935
It's all right.
724
00:55:34,227 --> 00:55:37,897
It's all right now. That's my love.
725
00:56:10,096 --> 00:56:11,639
Beth.
726
00:56:42,211 --> 00:56:44,672
And so our dear Beth
came back to us...
727
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,259
...although the fever
had weakened her heart forever.
728
00:56:48,467 --> 00:56:52,096
We did not know then
that a shadow had fallen.
729
00:56:52,555 --> 00:56:55,641
We prepared for another
Christmas without Father.
730
00:56:56,475 --> 00:56:58,269
Try each corner. Thank you.
731
00:56:58,477 --> 00:57:01,230
No, no! One bow is enough!
732
00:57:01,439 --> 00:57:04,066
Mr. Laurence. Thank you.
733
00:57:07,278 --> 00:57:10,072
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- It happens all the time.
734
00:57:10,281 --> 00:57:11,824
How's this?
735
00:57:13,159 --> 00:57:14,785
- Here she comes.
- Come on. Come on.
736
00:57:14,952 --> 00:57:16,329
What should I do with these bows?
737
00:57:16,537 --> 00:57:18,664
Now, don't scare her to death.
She's been sick, you know.
738
00:57:18,873 --> 00:57:21,959
Hide the chairs. Just hide them, Amy.
739
00:57:23,210 --> 00:57:25,046
Quick.
740
00:57:30,926 --> 00:57:33,512
The house is beautiful.
741
00:57:47,193 --> 00:57:48,611
They're friends of mine from college.
742
00:57:48,819 --> 00:57:51,572
Freddy Vaughan and Averill Watson.
743
00:57:51,781 --> 00:57:53,824
They won't bite.
744
00:58:00,247 --> 00:58:01,582
No, don't sit there! Sit--
745
00:58:01,791 --> 00:58:05,503
Here. Sit here, child.
746
00:58:05,711 --> 00:58:07,880
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas, Beth!
747
00:58:08,089 --> 00:58:11,050
Merry Christmas, Beth!
748
00:58:16,472 --> 00:58:19,850
I should've given it to you long ago.
749
00:58:21,060 --> 00:58:25,314
It belonged to my little girl
who had to leave us...
750
00:58:25,523 --> 00:58:27,650
...when she was very young.
751
00:58:27,858 --> 00:58:31,070
But now it will make music again.
752
00:58:41,706 --> 00:58:43,541
Thank you, Mr. Laurence.
753
00:58:45,459 --> 00:58:48,879
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
754
00:58:49,088 --> 00:58:50,715
Play something, Beth.
755
00:58:50,923 --> 00:58:52,717
Shall 1?
756
00:59:49,064 --> 00:59:51,442
That was good.
757
00:59:52,443 --> 00:59:54,987
I fear you would have
a long engagement.
758
00:59:55,196 --> 00:59:58,699
Three or four years. John must secure
a house before you can marry.
759
00:59:58,908 --> 01:00:02,828
- And he must do his service to the union.
- John? Marry?
760
01:00:03,037 --> 01:00:04,622
You mean that pokey old Mr. Brooke?
761
01:00:04,622 --> 01:00:05,289
You mean that pokey old Mr. Brooke?
762
01:00:05,498 --> 01:00:07,458
How did he weasel his way
into this family?
763
01:00:07,666 --> 01:00:09,043
Jo.
764
01:00:09,251 --> 01:00:11,921
John has been very kind to go
visit Father in the hospital every day.
765
01:00:12,129 --> 01:00:15,800
He's dull as powder. Meg, can't you
at least marry someone amusing?
766
01:00:16,008 --> 01:00:19,136
I'm fond of Mr. Brooke.
He's a good man. He's kind and serious.
767
01:00:19,345 --> 01:00:21,639
And I'm not afraid of being poor.
768
01:00:21,847 --> 01:00:24,266
Marmee, you can't just
let her go and marry him.
769
01:00:24,475 --> 01:00:26,268
I'd hardly just go and marry anyone.
770
01:00:26,477 --> 01:00:28,771
I would rather Meg marry for love
and be a poor man's wife...
771
01:00:28,979 --> 01:00:31,565
...than marry for riches
and lose her self-respect.
772
01:00:33,275 --> 01:00:35,569
So you don't mind that John is poor?
773
01:00:35,778 --> 01:00:38,864
No, but I would rather
he have a house.
774
01:00:39,532 --> 01:00:41,784
Why must we marry at all?
775
01:00:41,992 --> 01:00:43,911
Why can't things just stay as they are?
776
01:00:44,119 --> 01:00:47,373
It is only a proposal.
Nothing need be decided. Now, girls.
777
01:00:47,581 --> 01:00:49,583
Let's not spoil the day.
778
01:01:01,303 --> 01:01:02,805
Father? Father!
779
01:01:03,013 --> 01:01:06,058
- Merry Christmas, everyone!
- What a wonderful Christmas present!
780
01:01:06,267 --> 01:01:10,229
Father! Oh, Father, you're home!
781
01:01:11,814 --> 01:01:13,357
Meg.
782
01:01:13,566 --> 01:01:17,611
- Oh, you're more handsome than ever.
- Beth, my little cricket.
783
01:01:17,820 --> 01:01:19,864
- Thank God you're well.
- Clear the way.
784
01:01:20,072 --> 01:01:22,825
- Give the man room to breathe.
- Jo!
785
01:01:23,033 --> 01:01:25,369
Oh, my wild girl!
786
01:01:26,245 --> 01:01:28,873
Well, this could become the fashion.
787
01:01:30,207 --> 01:01:31,709
- Watch his arm.
- I'm not used to this.
788
01:01:31,917 --> 01:01:33,085
- Be careful.
- Be very careful now.
789
01:01:33,294 --> 01:01:36,630
- Don't coddle this soldier too much.
- Oh, now, Father, it's time to coddle.
790
01:01:36,839 --> 01:01:40,968
- Oh, Father!
- Hannah, God bless you.
791
01:01:41,176 --> 01:01:44,680
- It's good to see you.
- It's good to have you home, Mr. March.
792
01:01:44,889 --> 01:01:49,018
- Now, let me look at my girls.
- Take them and give them--
793
01:02:00,738 --> 01:02:03,365
The cholera took more men
than the rebs, as I understand it, sir.
794
01:02:03,574 --> 01:02:06,869
Agriculture isn't taught, and it should be.
It should be required.
795
01:02:07,077 --> 01:02:09,330
Perhaps the freedmen should
be given land in the west.
796
01:02:09,496 --> 01:02:10,998
What happened
between you and John Brooke?
797
01:02:11,165 --> 01:02:13,208
Never you mind.
798
01:02:16,545 --> 01:02:21,008
- Isn't it wonderful, Jo?
- Yes, it's wonderful.
799
01:02:37,733 --> 01:02:39,109
Welcome home, soldier.
800
01:02:39,318 --> 01:02:41,487
Would you like some water, sir?
801
01:03:14,478 --> 01:03:15,521
Change will come...
802
01:03:15,729 --> 01:03:18,816
...as surely as the seasons
and twice as quick.
803
01:03:19,024 --> 01:03:21,568
We make our peace with it
as best we can.
804
01:03:21,777 --> 01:03:25,239
Or as Amy once said
when she was still a little girl:
805
01:03:25,447 --> 01:03:29,034
"We'll all grow up someday.
We might as well know what we want.”
806
01:03:55,019 --> 01:03:57,062
So you feel our Amy has talent?
807
01:03:57,271 --> 01:04:01,358
Oh, Miss March excels at drawing.
808
01:04:01,567 --> 01:04:05,446
But, you know,
her landscapes lack emotion.
809
01:04:06,321 --> 01:04:10,284
I definitely feel Amy would benefit
from further study.
810
01:04:10,492 --> 01:04:12,369
But she won't get it around here.
811
01:04:12,578 --> 01:04:15,956
- Where do you suggest?
- Cape Cod has a fine artist colony.
812
01:04:16,165 --> 01:04:18,667
But Europe, Europe is the best place.
813
01:04:26,508 --> 01:04:29,636
Teddy! Teddy!
814
01:04:29,845 --> 01:04:32,264
Your houseman said
you wouldn't be home till night.
815
01:04:32,473 --> 01:04:33,599
I couldn't wait so long.
816
01:04:33,766 --> 01:04:35,893
Hail the conquering graduate.
817
01:04:36,101 --> 01:04:38,937
- Is grandfather exceedingly proud?
- Yes.
818
01:04:39,146 --> 01:04:41,940
And exceedingly bent
on locking me up in one of his offices.
819
01:04:42,149 --> 01:04:45,611
Why is it Amy may paint China
and you can scribble away...
820
01:04:45,819 --> 01:04:49,323
...while I must manfully
set my music aside?
821
01:04:49,531 --> 01:04:51,575
Why must you?
822
01:04:52,242 --> 01:04:56,121
If I don't, I'd have to defy grandfather.
823
01:04:56,330 --> 01:04:59,625
Yes, and not the whole of society.
824
01:05:01,460 --> 01:05:04,046
I can't go against the old man.
825
01:05:07,049 --> 01:05:11,720
When I imagine myself in that life...
826
01:05:13,097 --> 01:05:15,599
...can think of only one thing...
827
01:05:15,808 --> 01:05:17,976
...that would make me happy.
828
01:05:20,312 --> 01:05:25,442
Oh, no. Teddy-- Teddy, don't.
829
01:05:32,199 --> 01:05:33,992
No, wait, Teddy.
830
01:05:34,201 --> 01:05:36,203
We have to talk about this reasonably.
831
01:05:36,411 --> 01:05:39,039
I have loved you...
832
01:05:39,248 --> 01:05:42,251
...since the moment
I clamped eyes on you.
833
01:05:42,459 --> 01:05:44,795
What could be more reasonable
than to marry you?
834
01:05:45,712 --> 01:05:47,798
- We'd kill each other.
- Nonsense!
835
01:05:48,006 --> 01:05:51,426
- Neither of us can keep our temper.
- I can. Unless provoked.
836
01:05:51,635 --> 01:05:54,721
We're both stupidly stubborn,
especially you. We'd only quarrel.
837
01:05:54,930 --> 01:05:56,640
I wouldn't!
838
01:05:56,849 --> 01:06:00,394
You can't even propose
without quarreling.
839
01:06:01,145 --> 01:06:02,604
Jo.
840
01:06:04,064 --> 01:06:08,610
Dear Jo. I swear I'll be a saint.
841
01:06:08,819 --> 01:06:12,239
I'll let you win every argument.
842
01:06:13,323 --> 01:06:17,202
I'll take care of you and your family.
843
01:06:17,411 --> 01:06:19,538
I'll give you every luxury
you've ever been denied.
844
01:06:19,746 --> 01:06:22,958
You won't have to write.
Unless you want to.
845
01:06:23,167 --> 01:06:25,836
Grandfather...
846
01:06:26,044 --> 01:06:29,339
...wants me to learn the business
in England.
847
01:06:29,548 --> 01:06:31,967
Can't you see us
bashing around London?
848
01:06:32,176 --> 01:06:33,719
London.
849
01:06:33,927 --> 01:06:37,306
Oh, Teddy, I'm not fashionable enough
for London.
850
01:06:37,514 --> 01:06:40,475
You need someone
who's elegant and refined.
851
01:06:40,684 --> 01:06:43,478
I want you.
852
01:06:47,024 --> 01:06:50,235
Teddy, please don't ask me.
853
01:06:57,034 --> 01:06:59,203
- Teddy, I'm desperately sorry.
- No, don't.
854
01:06:59,411 --> 01:07:01,622
- I do care for you.
- No.
855
01:07:01,830 --> 01:07:04,208
With all of my heart.
You're my dearest friend.
856
01:07:06,460 --> 01:07:09,004
I just can't go be a wife.
857
01:07:09,713 --> 01:07:14,551
You say you won't, but you will.
858
01:07:15,469 --> 01:07:18,847
- I won't. I won't.
- One day...
859
01:07:21,141 --> 01:07:23,227
...you'll meet some man.
860
01:07:23,435 --> 01:07:25,145
A good man.
861
01:07:25,354 --> 01:07:28,607
And you will love him tremendously.
862
01:07:30,317 --> 01:07:34,071
And you will live and die for him.
863
01:07:34,279 --> 01:07:37,241
- Teddy, please.
- You will.
864
01:07:38,116 --> 01:07:39,743
Jo.
865
01:07:42,246 --> 01:07:44,081
I know you.
866
01:07:49,878 --> 01:07:52,005
And I'll be hanged...
867
01:07:52,214 --> 01:07:55,050
...if I stand by and watch.
868
01:08:15,153 --> 01:08:17,739
Jo, are you ill?
869
01:08:17,948 --> 01:08:20,242
She has refused Laurie.
870
01:08:21,576 --> 01:08:25,163
Well, I'm sure she can take it back.
It's just a misunderstanding.
871
01:08:25,372 --> 01:08:27,499
No.
872
01:08:27,708 --> 01:08:29,501
No.
873
01:08:32,337 --> 01:08:34,756
Oh, listen to him.
874
01:08:36,466 --> 01:08:38,385
I must get away.
875
01:08:38,593 --> 01:08:40,971
Of course.
876
01:08:43,724 --> 01:08:45,517
Aunt March is going to France.
877
01:08:46,601 --> 01:08:47,853
France!
878
01:08:48,061 --> 01:08:50,897
That's ideal!
I'll put up with anything to go!
879
01:08:51,106 --> 01:08:52,733
Jo, Aunt March has asked me to go.
880
01:08:53,859 --> 01:08:55,861
To Europe?
881
01:08:57,529 --> 01:08:59,531
My Europe?
882
01:09:03,368 --> 01:09:04,453
When?
883
01:09:05,287 --> 01:09:07,622
It was decided just today.
884
01:09:14,421 --> 01:09:18,508
Well, I am her companion now.
885
01:09:19,718 --> 01:09:22,387
She wishes me
to study painting abroad...
886
01:09:22,596 --> 01:09:25,182
...and hopes I might make
a good match there.
887
01:09:28,810 --> 01:09:33,607
But perhaps she wouldn't mind
if you stayed at Plumfield...
888
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,194
...while we are gone.
889
01:09:42,741 --> 01:09:45,911
Of course Aunt March prefers
Amy over me. Why shouldn't she?
890
01:09:46,119 --> 01:09:49,873
I'm ugly and awkward,
and I always say the wrong things.
891
01:09:50,082 --> 01:09:54,336
I fly around throwing away
perfectly good marriage proposals.
892
01:09:54,544 --> 01:09:59,841
I love our home, but I'm just so fitful,
and I can't stand being here.
893
01:10:01,093 --> 01:10:05,222
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Marmee.
894
01:10:05,222 --> 01:10:05,806
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Marmee.
895
01:10:06,014 --> 01:10:08,517
There's just something
really wrong with me.
896
01:10:08,725 --> 01:10:11,686
I want to change, but I... I can't.
897
01:10:11,895 --> 01:10:17,484
- And I just know I'll never fit in anywhere.
- Oh, Jo.
898
01:10:17,692 --> 01:10:21,154
Jo, you have so many
extraordinary gifts.
899
01:10:21,363 --> 01:10:25,742
How can you expect
to lead an ordinary life?
900
01:10:25,951 --> 01:10:30,789
You're ready to go out
and find a good use for your talent.
901
01:10:32,457 --> 01:10:36,294
Although, I don't know what I shall do
without my Jo.
902
01:10:38,338 --> 01:10:43,093
Go and embrace your liberty.
903
01:10:43,301 --> 01:10:46,638
And see what wonderful things
come of it.
904
01:11:13,790 --> 01:11:17,294
Laurie sought his refuge
in London and abroad.
905
01:11:17,502 --> 01:11:21,173
Marmee helped me find a place
in the great city of New York.
906
01:11:21,381 --> 01:11:25,886
So I stepped over the divide between
childhood and all that lay beyond.
907
01:11:28,388 --> 01:11:29,639
Mrs. Kirk?
908
01:11:30,515 --> 01:11:32,767
Josephine.
909
01:11:32,976 --> 01:11:34,478
Yes. How do you do?
910
01:11:34,686 --> 01:11:38,106
Kitty, Minnie! This is Miss March.
911
01:11:38,315 --> 01:11:41,860
Her father was Colonel March.
He knew your papa.
912
01:11:42,068 --> 01:11:44,696
- It was cold!
- Watch your feet, Mr. Costigan.
913
01:11:44,905 --> 01:11:47,949
- You never get it straight.
- Do come in, my dear.
914
01:11:51,620 --> 01:11:52,787
Dear Beth.
915
01:11:52,996 --> 01:11:56,750
Marmee's friend, Mrs. Kirk,
has made me feel quite at home.
916
01:11:56,958 --> 01:12:01,046
My little students,
Kitty and Minnie, are dear girls.
917
01:12:05,425 --> 01:12:08,678
How curious to grow up
in a busy boardinghouse with no father...
918
01:12:08,887 --> 01:12:11,806
...and your own mother the innkeeper.
919
01:12:12,891 --> 01:12:15,018
! felt bold on leaving Concord.
920
01:12:15,227 --> 01:12:18,230
But I confess I find New York
rough and strange...
921
01:12:18,438 --> 01:12:20,774
...and myself strange in it.
922
01:12:21,775 --> 01:12:23,610
Can you pass these down the table?
923
01:12:23,818 --> 01:12:26,154
Thank you kindly, professor.
924
01:12:31,826 --> 01:12:34,579
Mrs. Kirk believes that I am here
for a brief interlude...
925
01:12:34,788 --> 01:12:39,000
...of sensational experience
before succumbing to a matrimonial fate.
926
01:12:39,209 --> 01:12:40,252
Excuse me, miss.
927
01:12:40,460 --> 01:12:42,671
And while there's surely no lack
of sensational experience...
928
01:12:42,879 --> 01:12:44,965
...of every kind
available in such a city...
929
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,216
Come in!
930
01:12:46,424 --> 01:12:48,343
...I hope, though I've had
no luck yet...
931
01:12:48,552 --> 01:12:51,471
...that any experience [ gain here
will be strictly literary.
932
01:12:53,098 --> 01:12:55,850
And that all events
of a romantic or sensational nature...
933
01:12:56,059 --> 01:12:58,687
...will be entirely confined to the page.
934
01:12:58,895 --> 01:13:02,774
Our subscribers are not interested
in sentiment and fairy stories, miss.
935
01:13:04,693 --> 01:13:06,736
They're not fairy stories.
936
01:13:06,945 --> 01:13:09,447
Try one of the ladies' magazines.
937
01:13:27,632 --> 01:13:30,719
- Come on, Will. Hurry up!
- I'm coming!
938
01:13:36,891 --> 01:13:41,062
- I'm so sorry. I'm so clumsy.
- Oh, no. No.
939
01:13:47,402 --> 01:13:52,365
You know that when first I saw you,
I thought:
940
01:13:52,574 --> 01:13:55,785
"She is a writer."
941
01:13:55,994 --> 01:13:58,121
What made you think so?
942
01:14:05,670 --> 01:14:08,757
Yes, I know many writers.
943
01:14:08,965 --> 01:14:11,217
In Berlin I was--
944
01:14:11,426 --> 01:14:14,554
I was professor at the university.
945
01:14:15,013 --> 01:14:20,310
Here, I am just a humble tutor,
I'm afraid.
946
01:14:21,603 --> 01:14:23,897
No, please. Sit down.
947
01:14:25,565 --> 01:14:27,108
Thank you.
948
01:14:39,996 --> 01:14:42,040
You are far from home, Miss March?
949
01:14:43,041 --> 01:14:44,376
Do you miss your family?
950
01:14:44,584 --> 01:14:46,378
Oh, very much.
951
01:14:46,586 --> 01:14:50,256
My sisters especially. And Laurie.
952
01:14:50,465 --> 01:14:52,592
She is your sister?
953
01:14:54,969 --> 01:14:57,972
No, no. He's a friend.
954
01:14:58,723 --> 01:15:00,266
Do you like your coffee?
955
01:15:00,475 --> 01:15:04,020
Oh, it's just very strong.
956
01:15:04,229 --> 01:15:06,022
I like it.
957
01:15:12,278 --> 01:15:14,322
You have quite a library.
958
01:15:15,156 --> 01:15:17,492
Did you bring all these books
from Germany?
959
01:15:17,701 --> 01:15:19,244
A few of them.
960
01:15:19,452 --> 01:15:22,372
- May 17?
- Of course.
961
01:15:22,747 --> 01:15:27,669
Most of these I could not bear
to leave behind.
962
01:15:27,877 --> 01:15:32,382
I sold everything that I owned
to get my passage to come here...
963
01:15:32,590 --> 01:15:36,010
...but my books, never.
964
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,890
Shakespeare.
965
01:15:41,307 --> 01:15:44,352
Some books are so familiar.
966
01:15:44,561 --> 01:15:48,857
Reading them is like
being home again.
967
01:15:51,234 --> 01:15:55,196
Will you be returning to Berlin,
Professor Bhaer?
968
01:15:55,405 --> 01:15:59,075
- Friedrich. Call me Friedrich.
- Friedrich.
969
01:15:59,284 --> 01:16:02,871
No. Sadly...
970
01:16:03,079 --> 01:16:05,832
...the fatherland of
Goethe and Schiller...
971
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:09,544
-...IS No more.
- I adore Goethe.
972
01:16:09,753 --> 01:16:11,463
My father used to read me
all the German poets...
973
01:16:11,671 --> 01:16:15,008
-...when I was a child.
- Really? That is most surprising.
974
01:16:15,216 --> 01:16:18,720
Well, my mother and father
were part of...
975
01:16:18,928 --> 01:16:21,806
...a rather unusual circle in Concord.
976
01:16:22,015 --> 01:16:24,434
Do you know the word
transcendentalist?
977
01:16:25,393 --> 01:16:28,062
But this is German
Romantic philosophy!
978
01:16:28,271 --> 01:16:31,065
We throw off all our constraints
and we come to know ourselves...
979
01:16:31,274 --> 01:16:36,196
...through insight and experience.
But it got out of fashion now.
980
01:16:36,404 --> 01:16:39,407
Well, not in the March family, I'm afraid.
981
01:16:41,034 --> 01:16:43,495
It's just that with all
of this transcendence...
982
01:16:43,703 --> 01:16:48,666
...comes much emphasis
on perfecting oneself.
983
01:16:49,709 --> 01:16:51,085
This gives you a problem?
984
01:16:52,337 --> 01:16:54,339
I'm hopelessly flawed.
985
01:16:54,547 --> 01:16:56,800
If only we could...
986
01:16:57,008 --> 01:16:59,677
...transcend ourselves
without perfection...
987
01:16:59,886 --> 01:17:01,054
...like your poet Walt Whitman...
988
01:17:01,262 --> 01:17:03,348
...who rides up and down
the streets of Broadway all day...
989
01:17:03,556 --> 01:17:06,434
...Shouting poetry against
the roar of the carts.
990
01:17:06,643 --> 01:17:08,895
Keep your silent woods,
O, Nature.
991
01:17:09,103 --> 01:17:11,773
- And your quiet places by the river--
- And your quiet places by the woods.
992
01:17:11,981 --> 01:17:13,024
- By the woods.
- Woods. Yes.
993
01:17:13,233 --> 01:17:17,153
- Give me the streets of Manhattan.
- Give me the streets of Manhattan.
994
01:17:28,665 --> 01:17:32,210
I think we are all hopelessly flawed.
995
01:17:34,671 --> 01:17:36,673
He is as poor as one might imagine...
996
01:17:36,881 --> 01:17:39,300
...an itinerant philosopher to be.
997
01:17:39,509 --> 01:17:41,302
Yet, as the weeks go by,
I see that he is...
998
01:17:41,511 --> 01:17:45,306
...unfailingly generous
to all of us who live in the house.
999
01:17:45,515 --> 01:17:48,560
I am grateful to have a friend.
1000
01:18:40,904 --> 01:18:42,405
It's the system
our nation was founded on.
1001
01:18:42,614 --> 01:18:46,200
Come now! It was nothing short
of a betrayal of our country's ideals.
1002
01:18:46,409 --> 01:18:48,411
Our country's ideals?
1003
01:18:48,620 --> 01:18:49,954
A constitution...
1004
01:18:50,163 --> 01:18:54,375
...that denies the basic rights of
citizenship to women and black people?
1005
01:18:54,584 --> 01:18:58,588
They just passed the 15th Amendment,
Jacob. They can vote.
1006
01:18:58,796 --> 01:18:59,923
Black men can vote, Charles.
1007
01:19:00,131 --> 01:19:04,344
A lady has no need of suffrage
if she has a husband.
1008
01:19:04,552 --> 01:19:05,678
No, no.
1009
01:19:05,887 --> 01:19:08,222
- You don't take wine?
- Only medicinally.
1010
01:19:08,431 --> 01:19:10,600
- Well, pretend that you've got a cold.
- I agree.
1011
01:19:10,808 --> 01:19:13,770
But if women are a moral force,
shouldn't they have the right...
1012
01:19:13,978 --> 01:19:17,649
...to govern and preach,
and testify in court?
1013
01:19:18,274 --> 01:19:20,610
What is it, Miss March?
1014
01:19:20,818 --> 01:19:24,364
I find it poor logic to say
that because women are good...
1015
01:19:24,572 --> 01:19:26,699
...women should vote.
1016
01:19:26,950 --> 01:19:30,411
Men do not vote because they are good.
They vote because they are male.
1017
01:19:30,620 --> 01:19:34,290
And women should vote, not because
they are angels and men are animals...
1018
01:19:34,499 --> 01:19:38,836
...but because we are human beings
and citizens of this country.
1019
01:19:39,837 --> 01:19:42,173
You should've been a lawyer,
Miss March.
1020
01:19:42,382 --> 01:19:45,969
I should have been
a great many things, Mr. Mayer.
1021
01:19:57,855 --> 01:19:59,816
Friedrich. Oh, I'm sorry.
1022
01:20:00,024 --> 01:20:03,611
No, please. Please. Come in.
1023
01:20:03,820 --> 01:20:05,488
I have some good news.
1024
01:20:05,697 --> 01:20:05,822
A newspaper has published two
of my stories, and they wish to see more.
1025
01:20:05,822 --> 01:20:09,909
A newspaper has published two
of my stories, and they wish to see more.
1026
01:20:10,118 --> 01:20:12,537
- This is wonderful.
- Right there.
1027
01:20:12,745 --> 01:20:15,164
The Daily Volcano.
1028
01:20:15,623 --> 01:20:20,753
"The Sinner's Corpse"
by Joseph March.
1029
01:20:23,589 --> 01:20:29,554
Lunatics. Vampires.
This... This interests you?
1030
01:20:32,598 --> 01:20:35,893
Well, people like thrilling stories,
Friedrich.
1031
01:20:36,102 --> 01:20:38,354
This is what the newspapers want.
1032
01:20:38,563 --> 01:20:41,649
Yes. Yes, I suppose.
1033
01:20:41,983 --> 01:20:43,943
I suppose that is true.
1034
01:20:44,152 --> 01:20:48,448
Yes. Well, it'll buy a new coat for Beth,
and I'm sure she'll be grateful to have it.
1035
01:20:48,656 --> 01:20:50,074
Jo, pl--
1036
01:21:12,764 --> 01:21:13,890
I...
1037
01:21:15,099 --> 01:21:18,978
I do not want to be your teacher.
No, understand me.
1038
01:21:19,187 --> 01:21:23,191
I am saying only
that you should please yourself.
1039
01:21:23,399 --> 01:21:27,195
My opinion is of no importance.
1040
01:21:28,071 --> 01:21:29,113
Do you forgive me?
1041
01:21:29,655 --> 01:21:33,076
- Well, of course.
- Can I make a gift?
1042
01:21:33,284 --> 01:21:36,120
An experience. Do you like the opera?
1043
01:21:36,954 --> 01:21:38,372
Oh, I do.
1044
01:21:38,581 --> 01:21:43,544
I mean, I think I do. We don't seem
to get a lot of opera in Concord.
1045
01:21:46,756 --> 01:21:48,716
Well, I don't have an opera dress.
1046
01:21:48,925 --> 01:21:50,676
You will be perfect.
1047
01:21:50,885 --> 01:21:55,473
Where we are sitting
we shall not be so formal.
1048
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,167
Leila is a goddess.
1049
01:22:23,376 --> 01:22:26,087
She has made a promise
never to love.
1050
01:22:27,046 --> 01:22:31,342
If she breaks her vow, all will be lost.
1051
01:22:33,845 --> 01:22:36,597
Oh, look. Trouble is coming.
1052
01:22:36,806 --> 01:22:38,432
What's going to happen?
1053
01:22:38,641 --> 01:22:40,768
The inevitable.
1054
01:22:47,817 --> 01:22:52,530
Leila... Leila's soul is opening.
1055
01:22:52,947 --> 01:22:55,449
She's drawn to an idea.
1056
01:22:55,658 --> 01:23:00,413
He says, "Love has a fatal power."
1057
01:23:24,353 --> 01:23:26,272
"Your heart...
1058
01:23:26,856 --> 01:23:28,941
...understood mine.
1059
01:23:32,653 --> 01:23:37,241
In the depth of the fragrant night...
1060
01:23:38,242 --> 01:23:41,454
.l listened with ravished soul...
1061
01:23:44,624 --> 01:23:47,168
...to your beloved voice.
1062
01:23:50,713 --> 01:23:54,759
Your heart understood mine."
1063
01:25:21,679 --> 01:25:24,849
Oh, Laurie! You wicked...
1064
01:25:25,057 --> 01:25:27,018
We heard you were in Greece
or somewhere.
1065
01:25:27,226 --> 01:25:30,187
Laurie. Come, come.
1066
01:25:30,396 --> 01:25:32,815
You've been much occupied
with business, I am sure.
1067
01:25:33,024 --> 01:25:35,609
I'm not pursuing business just now.
Grandfather agreed...
1068
01:25:35,776 --> 01:25:38,821
...should concentrate
on my music for a while.
1069
01:25:39,488 --> 01:25:41,824
- You know Fred Vaughan.
- Freddy.
1070
01:25:42,033 --> 01:25:44,035
- Good day, Laurence.
- Yes.
1071
01:25:44,243 --> 01:25:46,829
And I see you've taken up
a passion for art, Freddy.
1072
01:25:47,038 --> 01:25:51,250
- Aunt March. You look splendid.
- I cannot say the same for you, my boy.
1073
01:25:51,459 --> 01:25:54,628
Amy, dear, will you be long?
I must retire.
1074
01:25:54,837 --> 01:25:58,424
Yes, Aunt March. Do come see us.
1075
01:26:06,724 --> 01:26:10,186
- Are they engaged?
- Not yet.
1076
01:26:18,444 --> 01:26:22,073
- Hop, hop, one, two, three, four.
- Hop, hop, one, two, three, four.
1077
01:26:22,281 --> 01:26:24,450
- Hop, hop, hop, turn.
- Hop, hop, hop, turn.
1078
01:26:27,036 --> 01:26:30,873
Friedrich, how long would it take
strychnine to dissolve in brandy?
1079
01:26:31,082 --> 01:26:32,458
About eight minutes?
1080
01:26:32,666 --> 01:26:36,629
And is a dagger worn at the waist,
or is that a saber?
1081
01:26:36,837 --> 01:26:42,510
I think that in these novels the dagger
is usually concealed in the boot...
1082
01:26:42,718 --> 01:26:45,554
...by a man with a dark mustache.
1083
01:27:13,124 --> 01:27:15,000
Go this way.
1084
01:27:16,544 --> 01:27:18,587
Hurry, hurry.
1085
01:27:21,048 --> 01:27:22,758
Well...
1086
01:27:31,851 --> 01:27:35,312
Oh, Laurie, how lovely.
1087
01:27:40,067 --> 01:27:42,153
It isn't what it should be...
1088
01:27:42,361 --> 01:27:45,781
-...but you have improved it.
- Please don't.
1089
01:27:45,990 --> 01:27:50,453
I liked you much better
when you were blunt and natural.
1090
01:27:51,912 --> 01:27:54,373
It did not serve me well.
1091
01:27:57,126 --> 01:27:59,545
I find you changed.
1092
01:28:01,964 --> 01:28:03,632
In fact, I despise you.
1093
01:28:03,841 --> 01:28:07,136
You laze about, spending
your family's money and courting women.
1094
01:28:08,012 --> 01:28:10,347
You aren't serious about music.
1095
01:28:10,556 --> 01:28:13,476
My compositions
are like your paintings.
1096
01:28:13,684 --> 01:28:17,771
Mediocre copies
of another man's genius.
1097
01:28:17,980 --> 01:28:22,443
Then why don't you go to grandfather
in London and make yourself useful?
1098
01:28:22,651 --> 01:28:24,195
I should.
1099
01:28:24,945 --> 01:28:27,364
Why don't you reform me?
1100
01:28:29,950 --> 01:28:32,578
I've someone more practical in mind.
1101
01:28:32,786 --> 01:28:35,706
You do not love Fred Vaughan.
1102
01:28:35,915 --> 01:28:38,250
Fred Vaughan is stable
and well-mannered--
1103
01:28:38,459 --> 01:28:41,003
And has 40,000 a year.
1104
01:28:41,212 --> 01:28:44,298
I've always known
I would not marry a pauper.
1105
01:28:45,466 --> 01:28:48,344
I expect a proposal any day.
1106
01:28:48,928 --> 01:28:51,180
You'll regret it.
1107
01:28:51,388 --> 01:28:54,308
I'll regret it.
1108
01:28:55,226 --> 01:28:58,646
I'm reminded of a promise.
1109
01:28:59,188 --> 01:29:02,316
Didn't I say I would kiss you
before you die?
1110
01:29:04,318 --> 01:29:06,529
Do you hear from Jo?
1111
01:29:07,196 --> 01:29:10,533
She has befriended a German professor.
1112
01:29:13,369 --> 01:29:15,454
Yes, well, no doubt
he's showing her...
1113
01:29:15,663 --> 01:29:17,540
...the ways of the world.
1114
01:29:18,415 --> 01:29:23,045
I do not wish to be courted by someone
who is still in love with my sister.
1115
01:29:23,629 --> 01:29:25,881
I'm not in love with Jo.
1116
01:29:26,090 --> 01:29:30,719
- Then how do you explain your jealousy?
- I envy her happiness.
1117
01:29:33,097 --> 01:29:35,724
I envy his happiness.
1118
01:29:35,933 --> 01:29:41,063
I envy John Brooke for marrying Meg.
I hate Fred Vaughan.
1119
01:29:41,272 --> 01:29:44,316
And if Beth had a lover,
I would despise him too.
1120
01:29:44,525 --> 01:29:48,862
Just as you have always known
you would never marry a pauper...
1121
01:29:49,071 --> 01:29:54,910
...I have always known
I should be part of the March family.
1122
01:29:55,953 --> 01:29:58,789
I do not wish to be loved for my family.
1123
01:29:58,998 --> 01:30:03,002
Any more than Fred Vaughan
wishes to be loved for his 40,000 a year.
1124
01:30:30,362 --> 01:30:32,114
My darling Amy.
1125
01:30:32,323 --> 01:30:35,868
It is you I want and not your family.
1126
01:30:36,076 --> 01:30:39,705
I've gone to London
to make myself worthy of you.
1127
01:30:39,913 --> 01:30:44,293
Please, do not do anything
we shall regret.
1128
01:30:47,338 --> 01:30:50,799
Monsieur Vaughan, mademoiselle,
may I show him in?
1129
01:31:02,853 --> 01:31:05,773
- Friedrich, did you read it?
- Yes.
1130
01:31:06,523 --> 01:31:07,691
It's...
1131
01:31:07,900 --> 01:31:10,527
Oh, it's well-written, Jo.
1132
01:31:10,736 --> 01:31:14,198
And a first novel.
What a great accomplishment.
1133
01:31:14,406 --> 01:31:17,451
Well, I'm going to be showing it
to your publisher friend, Mr. Fields, today.
1134
01:31:17,660 --> 01:31:20,663
He liked "The Sinner's Corpse."
1135
01:31:21,705 --> 01:31:22,790
What is it?
1136
01:31:22,998 --> 01:31:25,668
Mr. Fields is a good man. He will--
1137
01:31:25,876 --> 01:31:28,629
He will give you an honest opinion.
1138
01:31:28,837 --> 01:31:31,924
Oh, I see.
1139
01:31:33,550 --> 01:31:35,552
What is your honest opinion?
1140
01:31:35,761 --> 01:31:37,262
I'm a professor of philosophy, Jo.
1141
01:31:37,471 --> 01:31:39,682
No, I'd really like to know
what you think.
1142
01:31:42,184 --> 01:31:46,855
You sh--
You should be writing from life...
1143
01:31:47,064 --> 01:31:49,024
...from the depths of your soul.
1144
01:31:49,233 --> 01:31:52,736
There is nothing in here of the woman
that I am privileged to know.
1145
01:31:55,155 --> 01:31:57,950
Friedrich, this is what I write.
1146
01:31:59,535 --> 01:32:02,538
My apologies if it fails
to live up to your high standards.
1147
01:32:02,746 --> 01:32:06,291
Jo, there is more to you than this...
1148
01:32:06,500 --> 01:32:09,586
...if you have the courage to write it.
1149
01:32:54,757 --> 01:32:55,966
Meg!
1150
01:32:58,385 --> 01:32:59,386
Jo?
1151
01:33:02,723 --> 01:33:04,433
Jo!
1152
01:33:04,933 --> 01:33:06,268
Oh, Meg!
1153
01:33:09,563 --> 01:33:11,815
Oh, why didn't you tell me?
1154
01:33:12,024 --> 01:33:14,109
Well, one hardly speaks
of such things.
1155
01:33:14,318 --> 01:33:17,154
Oh, how wonderful.
1156
01:33:21,074 --> 01:33:25,788
- How is Beth?
- You will find her much altered.
1157
01:33:43,347 --> 01:33:45,015
Marmee.
1158
01:33:48,519 --> 01:33:50,979
She wouldn't let us
send for you sooner.
1159
01:33:51,188 --> 01:33:54,817
The doctor has been here
a number of times...
1160
01:33:55,025 --> 01:33:57,861
...but it's beyond all of us, and I think...
1161
01:34:02,574 --> 01:34:05,494
I think she's been waiting for you...
1162
01:34:06,328 --> 01:34:08,080
...before--
1163
01:34:22,219 --> 01:34:25,722
Drink up all this good broth.
1164
01:34:25,931 --> 01:34:30,727
- I'm glad you're home.
- So am I.
1165
01:34:47,327 --> 01:34:51,039
"Mr. Pickwick changed color.
'Ah,' said Mr. Wartle.
1166
01:34:51,248 --> 01:34:55,794
'Well, that's important. There's nothing
suspicious then, I suppose.™
1167
01:34:57,129 --> 01:35:00,340
I feel stronger with you close by.
1168
01:35:03,802 --> 01:35:06,430
I'm gonna get you better yet.
1169
01:35:07,347 --> 01:35:11,560
If God wants me with him,
there is none who will stop him.
1170
01:35:17,482 --> 01:35:19,651
I don't mind.
1171
01:35:20,736 --> 01:35:23,280
I was never like the rest of you...
1172
01:35:23,488 --> 01:35:27,868
...making plans
about the great things I'd do.
1173
01:35:30,162 --> 01:35:33,624
I never saw myself as anything much.
1174
01:35:33,832 --> 01:35:36,335
Not a great writer like you.
1175
01:35:36,543 --> 01:35:39,379
Oh, Beth. I'm not a great writer.
1176
01:35:39,588 --> 01:35:41,798
But you will be.
1177
01:35:45,552 --> 01:35:48,931
Oh, Jo, I've missed you so.
1178
01:35:52,684 --> 01:35:55,979
Why does everyone want to go away?
1179
01:35:57,481 --> 01:36:00,400
I love being home.
1180
01:36:03,362 --> 01:36:06,615
But I don't like being left behind.
1181
01:36:10,619 --> 01:36:13,664
Now I am the one going ahead.
1182
01:36:17,626 --> 01:36:20,545
I am not afraid.
1183
01:36:22,297 --> 01:36:25,384
I can be brave like you.
1184
01:36:27,928 --> 01:36:33,308
But I know I shall be
homesick for you, even in heaven.
1185
01:36:33,517 --> 01:36:35,936
Oh, Beth.
1186
01:36:36,144 --> 01:36:37,604
No.
1187
01:36:38,689 --> 01:36:41,149
I won't let you go.
1188
01:36:42,484 --> 01:36:44,695
Oh, my Jo.
1189
01:39:04,918 --> 01:39:07,003
Aunt March is bedridden...
1190
01:39:07,212 --> 01:39:09,506
...and would not survive a sea voyage.
1191
01:39:09,714 --> 01:39:12,759
Amy must bide her time
and return later.
1192
01:39:14,678 --> 01:39:16,763
It's just as well.
1193
01:39:19,891 --> 01:39:23,228
Will we never all be together again?
1194
01:40:11,318 --> 01:40:14,487
- Lovely morning.
- Good morning.
1195
01:40:14,696 --> 01:40:16,489
Thank you, sir.
1196
01:40:28,919 --> 01:40:30,670
Dearest Laurie.
1197
01:40:30,879 --> 01:40:33,632
You may not have heard
our sad news of Beth.
1198
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:35,884
"Meg has entered her confinement...
1199
01:40:36,092 --> 01:40:39,721
...and poor Amy must stay
in Vevey with Aunt March."
1200
01:40:48,563 --> 01:40:52,442
This is far too great a sorrow
to bear alone.
1201
01:40:52,651 --> 01:40:55,695
Please come home to us,
Teddy dear.
1202
01:40:56,238 --> 01:40:59,199
Your faithful, Jo.
1203
01:41:17,634 --> 01:41:20,136
Oh, Laurie.
1204
01:41:27,727 --> 01:41:30,063
I knew you would come.
1205
01:43:38,691 --> 01:43:41,027
The real charm of it lay
in Beth's happy face...
1206
01:43:41,236 --> 01:43:42,695
...as she leaned over the new piano...
1207
01:43:42,904 --> 01:43:47,242
...and lovingly touched
the beautiful black and white keys.
1208
01:43:51,037 --> 01:43:53,456
During the next few minutes,
the rumor circulated...
1209
01:43:53,665 --> 01:43:58,128
...that Amy March had got
24 delicious limes.
1210
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:00,964
! told you they dressed me up,
but I didn't tell you...
1211
01:44:01,172 --> 01:44:05,093
...that they powdered and squeezed,
and made me look a fashion plate.
1212
01:44:06,803 --> 01:44:09,472
As she spoke, Jo took off her bonnet.
1213
01:44:09,681 --> 01:44:14,727
A general outcry arose,
for all her abundant hair was cut short.
1214
01:44:14,936 --> 01:44:18,273
Jo, how could you? Your one beauty.
1215
01:44:18,481 --> 01:44:21,276
Nothing's going to change, Jo.
1216
01:45:59,332 --> 01:46:01,084
Surprise!
1217
01:46:02,335 --> 01:46:04,837
John, you have a daughter.
1218
01:46:05,046 --> 01:46:07,006
And a son.
1219
01:46:10,051 --> 01:46:13,805
Oh, Marmee, I can't believe
you did this four times.
1220
01:46:15,139 --> 01:46:16,766
Yes...
1221
01:46:17,016 --> 01:46:20,562
...but never two at once, my darling.
1222
01:46:39,706 --> 01:46:41,457
Oh, Daisy.
1223
01:46:44,085 --> 01:46:46,296
Oh, Meg. She's so beautiful.
1224
01:46:46,504 --> 01:46:48,881
And him. He is handsome.
1225
01:46:49,090 --> 01:46:51,926
He's gonna look
just like his papa when he grows up.
1226
01:46:52,135 --> 01:46:55,138
Yes, he does look like John.
1227
01:46:57,223 --> 01:46:59,684
Have you heard from the professor?
1228
01:47:00,018 --> 01:47:03,062
No. No.
1229
01:47:04,647 --> 01:47:07,191
We did not part well.
1230
01:47:09,569 --> 01:47:12,989
Well, John and I don't always agree,
but then we mend it.
1231
01:47:14,866 --> 01:47:16,701
Who could that be?
1232
01:47:29,213 --> 01:47:31,215
- Jo!
- Teddy!
1233
01:47:31,424 --> 01:47:34,677
- Oh, this is magic!
- You are absolutely--
1234
01:47:34,886 --> 01:47:38,890
Covered in flour. Oh, dear! Come in.
1235
01:47:39,098 --> 01:47:42,685
No, Jo, not yet. May I tell you something
without the others?
1236
01:47:42,894 --> 01:47:44,479
You're my dear friend.
1237
01:47:44,687 --> 01:47:47,231
- I'm glad you shall be the first to know.
- What?
1238
01:47:47,440 --> 01:47:50,485
May I present...
1239
01:47:50,693 --> 01:47:52,320
...my wife.
1240
01:47:54,697 --> 01:47:56,532
Jo.
1241
01:47:58,451 --> 01:48:00,995
Amy. Oh, my.
1242
01:48:02,121 --> 01:48:05,708
- Here. Flowers. Oh, you're so--
- Thank you.
1243
01:48:05,917 --> 01:48:08,461
Come in. Come in.
1244
01:48:16,636 --> 01:48:19,389
Brussels lace.
1245
01:48:19,597 --> 01:48:22,141
I went to Europe to paint
the great cathedrals...
1246
01:48:22,308 --> 01:48:24,977
...but I couldn't get our home
out of my mind.
1247
01:48:25,186 --> 01:48:27,480
Oh, look how Amy
has captured Orchard House.
1248
01:48:27,689 --> 01:48:29,107
- Look.
- Lovely.
1249
01:48:29,273 --> 01:48:31,567
Oh, it's beautiful.
1250
01:48:31,776 --> 01:48:35,113
Not as beautiful as I wanted,
but I am still learning.
1251
01:48:38,408 --> 01:48:40,827
Dear little angel.
1252
01:48:42,412 --> 01:48:46,207
Jo, you must tell me
the truth as a sister...
1253
01:48:46,416 --> 01:48:49,502
...which is a relation
stronger than marriage.
1254
01:48:50,002 --> 01:48:51,879
Do you mind at all?
1255
01:48:53,381 --> 01:48:54,549
Oh, no.
1256
01:48:54,757 --> 01:48:57,427
I was surprised.
1257
01:48:57,635 --> 01:49:00,263
Mind you, I had it on
good authority that our Teddy...
1258
01:49:00,471 --> 01:49:04,142
...would never love another,
and now he's gone and gotten married.
1259
01:49:04,350 --> 01:49:06,269
It's good to hear you
call me Teddy again.
1260
01:49:10,690 --> 01:49:14,902
At last, we're all family
as we always should have been.
1261
01:49:15,695 --> 01:49:19,031
You must promise me that
you will always live close by.
1262
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:21,451
I couldn't bear losing another sister.
1263
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:40,344
Jo, it's so gloomy and chilly.
1264
01:49:40,553 --> 01:49:44,766
One would require an income
just for the coal to heat this place.
1265
01:49:44,974 --> 01:49:47,268
What could the dear girl
have been thinking?
1266
01:49:47,477 --> 01:49:49,979
Most likely she felt sorry for me.
1267
01:49:50,188 --> 01:49:52,648
Decrepit homeless spinster.
1268
01:49:52,857 --> 01:49:54,567
Jo.
1269
01:49:54,901 --> 01:49:57,695
Poor aunt,
living here all those years alone...
1270
01:49:57,904 --> 01:50:01,657
...in this useless old house.
1271
01:50:01,866 --> 01:50:05,536
Yes, her blessings became a burden
because she couldn't share them.
1272
01:50:05,745 --> 01:50:07,622
Wouldn't this have made
a wonderful school?
1273
01:50:07,622 --> 01:50:08,706
Wouldn't this have made
a wonderful school?
1274
01:50:09,081 --> 01:50:11,083
A school.
1275
01:50:13,377 --> 01:50:15,880
What a challenge that would be.
1276
01:50:35,149 --> 01:50:38,361
Hello, Tuppy. Hello.
1277
01:50:41,864 --> 01:50:43,616
Good boy.
1278
01:50:54,168 --> 01:50:58,381
My book.
Someone's publishing my book.
1279
01:50:58,589 --> 01:51:00,842
Hannah! Hannah!
1280
01:51:01,050 --> 01:51:03,803
- Someone's publishing my book!
- Heaven help us.
1281
01:51:04,011 --> 01:51:05,680
But it came with no letter.
How did it arrive?
1282
01:51:05,888 --> 01:51:07,014
Foreign gentleman brung it.
1283
01:51:07,223 --> 01:51:10,226
- Strange kind of name. Can't think of it.
- Hannah!
1284
01:51:10,434 --> 01:51:14,146
- Oh, fox or bear or such.
- Bhaer! Did you ask him to wait?
1285
01:51:14,355 --> 01:51:17,149
I thought he was
one of Miss Amy's European friends...
1286
01:51:17,358 --> 01:51:18,860
...coming with a wedding gift.
1287
01:51:19,068 --> 01:51:23,114
I said, "Miss March
and Mr. Laurie are living next door."
1288
01:51:23,322 --> 01:51:27,285
- Oh, Hannah, you didn't!
- And he said he had a train to catch.
1289
01:51:42,592 --> 01:51:44,385
Friedrich!
1290
01:51:58,316 --> 01:52:00,526
Oh, Friedrich, thank you for my book.
1291
01:52:03,738 --> 01:52:07,575
Well, when I didn't hear from you,
I thought you hated it.
1292
01:52:07,783 --> 01:52:12,079
Oh, no. No.
Reading your book was like...
1293
01:52:12,288 --> 01:52:14,373
...opening a window into your heart.
1294
01:52:14,582 --> 01:52:19,462
James Fields took it out of my hands,
and he would not give it back to me.
1295
01:52:19,670 --> 01:52:23,299
I said,
"Such news I have to give to her myself."
1296
01:52:23,925 --> 01:52:27,553
Well, it was... It was a silly impulse.
1297
01:52:27,762 --> 01:52:31,057
No, no. Not silly at all.
1298
01:52:32,224 --> 01:52:36,062
It's so good to see you.
Come and meet my family.
1299
01:52:36,270 --> 01:52:37,897
No, I--
1300
01:52:38,189 --> 01:52:40,066
Thank you...
1301
01:52:40,358 --> 01:52:43,110
...but I have to catch the train.
1302
01:52:43,319 --> 01:52:46,113
- I'm going to the west.
1303
01:52:46,322 --> 01:52:49,951
My ship leaves from Boston
tomorrow morning.
1304
01:52:51,118 --> 01:52:54,956
Yes. The schools in the west are young.
1305
01:52:55,164 --> 01:52:57,375
They need professors...
1306
01:52:58,459 --> 01:53:02,296
...and they're not so concerned
about the accent.
1307
01:53:04,799 --> 01:53:07,051
I don't mind it either.
1308
01:53:09,053 --> 01:53:12,306
You see, my aunt left me Plumfield.
1309
01:53:12,515 --> 01:53:16,435
It isn't a field. It's a house, actually.
A rather large house.
1310
01:53:16,644 --> 01:53:20,314
And it isn't really good for anything
except a school.
1311
01:53:20,523 --> 01:53:22,066
And I want a good school...
1312
01:53:22,274 --> 01:53:24,860
...one that would be open
to anyone who wanted to learn.
1313
01:53:25,027 --> 01:53:28,447
And, well, I'll be needing someone...
1314
01:53:28,656 --> 01:53:31,951
...who knows how to teach.
1315
01:53:32,493 --> 01:53:35,329
Is there nothing I might say
to keep you here?
1316
01:53:35,496 --> 01:53:37,957
I confess that...
1317
01:53:38,165 --> 01:53:41,711
.- was hoping that I might
have a reason 10 stay...
1318
01:53:41,919 --> 01:53:47,133
...but congratulations
on the celebration of your marriage.
1319
01:53:47,341 --> 01:53:51,971
Oh, no. No. No, that's Amy.
1320
01:53:52,179 --> 01:53:54,807
She's my sister, Amy,
and Laurie, actually.
1321
01:53:55,016 --> 01:53:58,394
No, I'm-- I'm not married.
1322
01:54:00,896 --> 01:54:03,357
Please don't go so far away.
1323
01:54:05,276 --> 01:54:07,319
Jo.
1324
01:54:07,528 --> 01:54:12,074
Such a little name for such a person.
1325
01:54:15,953 --> 01:54:17,371
Will you have me?
1326
01:54:18,914 --> 01:54:21,459
With all of my heart.
1327
01:54:25,129 --> 01:54:28,841
But I have nothing to give you.
My hands are empty.
1328
01:54:31,510 --> 01:54:33,804
Not empty now.
