Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:49,910
I know them all. Go ahead, try me. You
should, Felix. We've been over them a
2
00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:50,910
million times.
3
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:53,870
Father will kill me if I fail. I know
all the answers.
4
00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:56,230
Aren't you special, Cecily?
5
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:59,330
Honestly, all you have to do is memorize
the book.
6
00:01:59,550 --> 00:02:02,130
Easy for you to say, Felicity. You're
her favorite.
7
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:03,810
She doesn't pick on you.
8
00:02:04,330 --> 00:02:05,590
I can say them all in my sleep.
9
00:02:05,930 --> 00:02:07,450
Kings and queens, it's not so hard.
10
00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:09,070
Miss King is what's hard.
11
00:02:09,490 --> 00:02:11,030
Sure hope she doesn't call on me.
12
00:02:12,410 --> 00:02:14,450
No. Edward Ray, sit down.
13
00:02:15,550 --> 00:02:19,090
Well advised to read the lesson before
coming to class.
14
00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:23,890
I expect better, children. Indeed, I do.
15
00:02:24,130 --> 00:02:29,710
Need I remind you that the finals for
the competition are in two weeks' time,
16
00:02:29,890 --> 00:02:33,410
and the honour of Avonlea rests on your
shoulders.
17
00:02:34,410 --> 00:02:40,670
Now, certainly, who lost England to the
Danes? Too long. Sit.
18
00:02:41,710 --> 00:02:43,910
Sally Potts, the answer, please.
19
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,740
The English king who lost the country
was, um... Sit.
20
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,260
Alfie Bugle.
21
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:54,100
Sit.
22
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,800
Felix King.
23
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Perhaps you'll name for us the king of
England who lost his country to the
24
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Danes.
25
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,800
It was a man.
26
00:03:14,410 --> 00:03:15,410
girl's name?
27
00:03:15,450 --> 00:03:16,450
Ethel.
28
00:03:16,690 --> 00:03:21,450
Felix King, really your mind is very
like your desk.
29
00:03:22,010 --> 00:03:23,590
Yeah, a square made of wood.
30
00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:27,050
Boys, that's enough Edward Ray.
31
00:03:29,410 --> 00:03:33,150
There's certainly nothing to laugh
about, Edward Ray, as you'll note from
32
00:03:33,150 --> 00:03:35,850
results of these history examinations.
33
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:41,550
And neither do the rest of you, for that
matter.
34
00:03:42,210 --> 00:03:43,390
Felix King.
35
00:03:46,490 --> 00:03:47,490
Okay.
36
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:53,390
Barbara, what do you think of this one?
37
00:03:54,610 --> 00:03:55,610
Oh, my.
38
00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:58,130
That's quite daring, don't you think,
Janet?
39
00:03:58,370 --> 00:03:59,370
Mm -hmm.
40
00:03:59,830 --> 00:04:03,050
You don't have to tell me. She is
absolutely outrageous.
41
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:04,670
I'd like to tell her what for.
42
00:04:04,870 --> 00:04:07,110
I always think she knows more than the
rest of us.
43
00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:09,890
Whatever is the matter, Hetty King?
44
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,320
She's driving my poor Alfie to
dyspepsia. My Sally's taken to her bed
45
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,199
water bottle.
46
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,200
Something's got to be done.
47
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:19,339
You won't budge, Hetty.
48
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:21,740
I know of only one person who could do
that.
49
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:25,340
Alex.
50
00:04:31,940 --> 00:04:34,280
Your hair looks lovely, Mother. Do you
think so, dear?
51
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Lovely.
52
00:04:46,090 --> 00:04:47,090
How was school today, children?
53
00:04:51,450 --> 00:04:54,170
Well? I'm not going back.
54
00:04:55,010 --> 00:04:56,170
Oh, dear.
55
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:58,630
Not my fault.
56
00:04:58,890 --> 00:05:00,450
It makes me nervous.
57
00:05:01,030 --> 00:05:02,030
Felix?
58
00:05:04,290 --> 00:05:06,010
What has gotten into them?
59
00:05:06,810 --> 00:05:10,610
Felix got a D -minus on his history
exam. And Cecily didn't do much better.
60
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:12,270
Huh.
61
00:05:13,090 --> 00:05:14,570
I, however, received an A.
62
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:16,370
I don't know what they're all
complaining about.
63
00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:20,390
Alec.
64
00:05:23,890 --> 00:05:25,430
Alec, are you awake?
65
00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:28,490
Janet, it's late. I'm tired.
66
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:30,450
Whatever it is, I'm sorry.
67
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:33,310
Everybody's upset about Hattie.
68
00:05:33,850 --> 00:05:37,470
She's pushing the children too far. She
actually frightens them.
69
00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:39,390
That is ridiculous.
70
00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:42,330
I got an earful in the general store
today.
71
00:05:42,730 --> 00:05:46,560
Half the parents in town are... upset
and angry. They can't all be wrong.
72
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,840
The children aren't the problem.
73
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,440
It's your sister.
74
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,260
Oh, isn't it always?
75
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:57,600
We should do something.
76
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:03,480
Right now, Janet, I am going to get some
sleep.
77
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,940
Now, the first order of business is to
elect a new member to the school board.
78
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,600
Are there any nominations?
79
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,520
Or, indeed, volunteers for this
challenging position.
80
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:19,000
I don't say it's a challenge.
81
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,080
Well, there must be someone.
82
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,160
Mrs. Potts. Yes, you make an excellent
candidate.
83
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:27,500
No, no.
84
00:06:27,860 --> 00:06:31,420
Well, I fully appreciate how challenging
this position is.
85
00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:36,980
We've all thought about it. It was a
disastrous... Stop with it. I nominate
86
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:39,260
King. I second the nomination.
87
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,520
Yes, Alec King.
88
00:06:46,350 --> 00:06:49,170
Apparently it's unanimous, Alec.
Congratulations.
89
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:52,270
We all know that you'll hold up your
end, Alec King.
90
00:06:52,530 --> 00:06:54,730
I think you have no option but to
accept.
91
00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:55,950
That's what.
92
00:06:56,930 --> 00:06:58,310
I don't know what to say.
93
00:06:58,590 --> 00:06:59,930
Thank you. I'll do my best.
94
00:07:01,510 --> 00:07:04,990
There is one matter I would like to
discuss.
95
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:10,610
Alec, there are rules to abide by, you
know, an agenda.
96
00:07:11,050 --> 00:07:13,330
Forget the rules. I want to hear what
Alec has to say.
97
00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:14,870
Thank you.
98
00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:22,510
Hedy, I believe that you are an
exceptional teacher, and with many
99
00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:28,210
years' experience, and you've done an
exceptional job, but sometimes I think
100
00:07:28,210 --> 00:07:30,670
that you expect too much from the
students.
101
00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:32,110
Oh,
102
00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:35,430
it's just that which students do you
have in mind?
103
00:07:35,850 --> 00:07:37,210
As if I couldn't guess.
104
00:07:37,410 --> 00:07:41,010
That's not the point. You think children
are all the same, that they all learn
105
00:07:41,010 --> 00:07:42,010
the same, and it's not so.
106
00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:47,230
They're not all peas in a pod. You could
help them more. You could try new
107
00:07:47,230 --> 00:07:49,890
approaches. Modern methods, that's what
I say.
108
00:07:50,530 --> 00:07:56,690
My teaching methods are based firmly on
the classical principles of education.
109
00:07:57,090 --> 00:08:00,590
I clearly have not the slightest idea of
that which you speak.
110
00:08:01,370 --> 00:08:05,990
I knew it was a mistake to try to talk
to you. If the three R's are good enough
111
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:10,390
for the rest of the country, dare say
they'll have to suffice for Avonlea.
112
00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:11,770
The three R's?
113
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,260
There's more to education than
recitation, repetition, and repression.
114
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,399
Yes, exactly.
115
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,220
You tell her. You tell her she had three
months to improve her performance like
116
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:24,020
she told my Jane. We want an open
discussion.
117
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,900
More say in our children's education.
118
00:08:26,140 --> 00:08:27,560
We have rights. They're our children.
119
00:08:27,820 --> 00:08:28,820
Order!
120
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:34,500
Well, Hetty King, I think everyone's
made the position crystal clear.
121
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,320
Yes, quite clear. Thank you, Rachel.
122
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,320
Well, if...
123
00:08:39,870 --> 00:08:46,270
I have lost the support of the school
board, as it appears. Then I can no
124
00:08:46,270 --> 00:08:47,290
teach in Lavenly.
125
00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:55,030
I hereby tender my resignation.
126
00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:18,230
An awful situation. I never dreamed
she'd quit. Your own sister, how could
127
00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:20,310
Oh, you were the one who said we had to
do something.
128
00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:23,210
Well, I never meant for you to take her
job away. I only meant for you to make
129
00:09:23,210 --> 00:09:26,570
her see reason. It was her decision
entirely, a professional disagreement.
130
00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:28,470
Who's going to teach school?
131
00:09:28,950 --> 00:09:31,410
Anyone would be better than Aunt Hattie.
Felix.
132
00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:35,810
Look, don't worry, Janet. I've organized
a search. I'm placing an advertisement
133
00:09:35,810 --> 00:09:37,110
in the Charlottetown newspaper.
134
00:09:37,970 --> 00:09:38,970
Who?
135
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:43,250
Well, I did teach at Kingston for 15
years.
136
00:09:44,370 --> 00:09:47,170
Mrs. Lynde, could you sit up straight?
137
00:09:48,010 --> 00:09:50,330
Mr. Gilly, stop playing with that
pencil.
138
00:09:50,810 --> 00:09:53,370
Mr. King, pay attention.
139
00:09:54,050 --> 00:09:55,670
Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Kingston.
140
00:09:56,290 --> 00:10:01,590
Now, as I was saying, I did teach at
Kingston for 15 years, and you would
141
00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:05,590
checked my credentials. Could you please
tell us something of your teaching
142
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:06,590
experience?
143
00:10:07,210 --> 00:10:08,210
Yes.
144
00:10:08,650 --> 00:10:13,410
Well, experience.
145
00:10:14,060 --> 00:10:15,060
Yes.
146
00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:18,820
I... Yes.
147
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Yes. Where did you study at?
148
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,100
Excuse me.
149
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,080
You meant to ask, where did I study?
150
00:10:29,260 --> 00:10:30,480
That's what I did ask.
151
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,200
No, you said, where did you study at?
152
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,540
One cannot end a sentence with a
preposition.
153
00:10:47,340 --> 00:10:53,160
But sent to my house out last Was I
154
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:59,880
sleeping by a brother's hand Of
155
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:05,120
like a crowd of queen at once dispatched
156
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,960
Horrible!
157
00:11:11,180 --> 00:11:12,420
Horrible!
158
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,200
Masked!
159
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,420
That's the third tomato this week,
Dimple.
160
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:39,680
You're fired.
161
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:54,000
seen or heard. It can stay that way.
162
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,580
Alistair, I'm sorry. They don't like
Shakespeare, and they don't like you.
163
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:01,680
If you're ever doing a nice Gilbert and
Sullivan, let me know.
164
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,580
And Alistair, if I were you, I'd find
another line of work.
165
00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:20,300
The pivotal role of the ghost of
Hamlet's father.
166
00:12:21,550 --> 00:12:25,570
Mr. Alastair Dippel could be abstained
by dust.
167
00:12:25,890 --> 00:12:27,430
What other choice do we have?
168
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:28,670
Number eight.
169
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:31,310
Oh, the one who took three minutes to
tell us his name?
170
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:34,130
I hate to say it, but we'll have to ask
Miss King to return.
171
00:12:34,410 --> 00:12:37,390
If you hadn't started this ruckus, we
wouldn't be in this mess now.
172
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:41,130
Listen, Alec, I've got a business to
run. I can't spend all day in my
173
00:12:41,770 --> 00:12:44,610
You created this problem, and you solved
it.
174
00:12:44,950 --> 00:12:48,670
We'll have to advertise in Halifax. I
can't sit through another day of teacher
175
00:12:48,670 --> 00:12:49,670
interviews.
176
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,480
I think we're going to have to ask Eddie
King to reconsider.
177
00:12:53,260 --> 00:12:56,460
We'll have to go down on our knees and
beg her before she'll agree to come
178
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,120
Be sure to rub it in well now, Sarah.
179
00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:21,400
Yes, Aunt Heidi. Then leave them be for
just three minutes, you know.
180
00:13:21,620 --> 00:13:22,620
I know.
181
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,480
Aunt Olivia?
182
00:13:25,940 --> 00:13:27,600
Oh, my. Hello, Sarah.
183
00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:32,800
Well, my, my, Olivia. What brings you
all the way over here?
184
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Sent by Alec, I suppose, are you?
185
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:37,060
Alec? Of course not.
186
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,300
I just brought over some pickles and
chutney I'd put up.
187
00:13:40,580 --> 00:13:41,800
Will you hold that, Sarah?
188
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,440
Well,
189
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,190
that... Very kind of you, I'm sure.
190
00:13:48,170 --> 00:13:49,170
Thank you.
191
00:13:50,350 --> 00:13:53,670
Hetty. We really are very busy, Olivia.
192
00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:55,470
Sarah, back to work.
193
00:13:56,490 --> 00:14:01,070
Oh, it's astonishing the way a house
will fall apart if you don't pay it the
194
00:14:01,070 --> 00:14:02,770
strictest attention.
195
00:14:04,650 --> 00:14:06,670
Hetty, I know you're upset.
196
00:14:07,330 --> 00:14:10,170
Upset? Me? Whatever about?
197
00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:15,350
Hetty. If you want to teach, you just go
over and tell the school board right
198
00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:18,270
now. It's no consequence to me, Olivia.
199
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:24,510
If the consensus is to let me go, then I
shall put my freedom to good advantage,
200
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:25,630
you may be sure.
201
00:14:26,170 --> 00:14:29,270
There's quite many things I wish to do
with my life.
202
00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:32,910
Plans, you know.
203
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:34,590
All right, Hetty.
204
00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:36,110
Have it your way.
205
00:14:37,150 --> 00:14:38,150
Goodbye, Sarah.
206
00:14:38,330 --> 00:14:39,330
Goodbye, Aunt Olivia.
207
00:14:46,380 --> 00:14:51,740
30 candidates and not a single
possibility. I can't believe it. What a
208
00:14:59,820 --> 00:15:06,220
If you don't mind my asking, why are you
so fretful in these enchanting
209
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:07,220
surroundings?
210
00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:09,700
Teachers, teachers.
211
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,440
Can't trust him.
212
00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:15,520
It's a sad thing, friend, when trust is
lacking in modern life.
213
00:15:15,780 --> 00:15:20,120
But it's always darkest before the dawn.
And this may yet turn out to be your
214
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,120
lucky day.
215
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,380
Alistair Dimple at your service.
216
00:15:24,020 --> 00:15:28,140
Professor of the Instructional Arts,
Master of Elucidation.
217
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,740
And furthermore... Hold that thought,
Professor.
218
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:36,980
Come with me.
219
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,840
Professor Dumper, why did you apply for
this position?
220
00:15:50,420 --> 00:15:54,940
The moment I first set eyes on your
lovely little gem of avid leaves, I knew
221
00:15:54,940 --> 00:15:56,680
that the day would be coming, didn't
she?
222
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:02,160
I can unravel the tangle you momentarily
find yourself in and rebuild the faith
223
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,520
that the Pentagon have so truly ripped
from Avonlea.
224
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:08,720
Hire him!
225
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,200
Well, shouldn't we ask for... My
credentials, Mr. King.
226
00:16:12,740 --> 00:16:13,740
I shall write.
227
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,700
Canterbury College of the Instructional
Arts in England to forward my
228
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:20,380
certificate and references today.
229
00:16:44,090 --> 00:16:45,029
Good morning.
230
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:48,090
I am Professor Dimple.
231
00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:51,110
And who might you be, boy?
232
00:16:52,410 --> 00:16:53,410
Felix.
233
00:16:53,790 --> 00:16:55,010
Felix King, sir.
234
00:16:55,210 --> 00:16:56,210
Felix.
235
00:16:56,830 --> 00:16:59,390
I will need your help this morning.
236
00:17:00,090 --> 00:17:04,810
Tell me, what did you study with Miss
King at this time of day?
237
00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:06,609
History, sir.
238
00:17:07,170 --> 00:17:09,230
Then we shall do that now.
239
00:17:09,930 --> 00:17:13,810
And could you share with us exactly what
you were studying?
240
00:17:14,790 --> 00:17:15,790
Oh, no.
241
00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:19,190
Don't you know what you were studying,
Felix?
242
00:17:19,770 --> 00:17:22,089
It was the kings and queens of Britain,
sir.
243
00:17:22,329 --> 00:17:23,329
The Ethels.
244
00:17:23,790 --> 00:17:26,990
But I can't tell you them.
245
00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:30,310
I can't remember them, no matter how
hard I try.
246
00:17:31,330 --> 00:17:33,770
It was all about a thousand years ago.
247
00:17:35,210 --> 00:17:36,530
And they were all the same.
248
00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:38,710
I can, Professor Dimple.
249
00:17:40,590 --> 00:17:41,590
Felicity King.
250
00:17:41,690 --> 00:17:44,690
And I'm fully prepared to represent
Avonlea at the History Bee.
251
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:49,870
The first commonly accepted King of
England was Alfred... I'm sure you know
252
00:17:49,870 --> 00:17:50,870
all, Felicity.
253
00:17:51,210 --> 00:17:56,050
But a list of dead people is of no
benefit and little importance to anyone
254
00:17:56,050 --> 00:17:58,750
is not in the direct line of succession.
255
00:18:00,610 --> 00:18:05,030
To understand history, you must
understand the people who lived it.
256
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:12,840
Think. of each king or queen as if they
were here in this room talking to us.
257
00:18:14,340 --> 00:18:19,100
Discover how each of them is unique,
just like anyone else you meet.
258
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,600
I think he's strange.
259
00:18:23,860 --> 00:18:26,180
Sounds a whole lot better than Aunt Hedy
to me.
260
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:28,620
Gotta give him a proper chance,
Felicity.
261
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:31,220
I think Professor Dimple will prove most
interesting.
262
00:18:32,060 --> 00:18:33,540
Why hasn't the bell rung yet?
263
00:18:34,060 --> 00:18:35,220
Maybe he likes to recess.
264
00:18:36,350 --> 00:18:38,030
Twenty minutes is quite long enough.
265
00:18:43,330 --> 00:18:45,790
Leave it to Felicity to wreck a good
time.
266
00:19:11,980 --> 00:19:12,699
He's alive.
267
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:14,920
The last words of Julius Caesar.
268
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,020
First Roman emperor to visit the British
Isles.
269
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,960
He was stabbed by his friends while
walking to work one day.
270
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,800
And who, God's pike, did he find in
Britain?
271
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,500
People? Absolutely correct.
272
00:19:32,780 --> 00:19:34,660
But not just any people.
273
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:36,920
Druids painted blue.
274
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,600
Blue? They were blue?
275
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:47,080
Blue and bloody and worshipping trees
and practising human sacrifice.
276
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:52,920
Gus Pike, you shall be our conquering
Roman Emperor Julius.
277
00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:57,100
Will you select your Praetorian guard?
278
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,380
You, you, you, you, you, you, you. And
who would like to be the oak
279
00:20:03,380 --> 00:20:07,800
druids gathered at Stonehenge to
sacrifice their next victim?
280
00:20:09,220 --> 00:20:10,740
Master Felix?
281
00:20:11,230 --> 00:20:12,230
King.
282
00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:17,110
And your victim, Felix.
283
00:20:19,910 --> 00:20:21,490
Don't even think about it, Felix.
284
00:20:24,810 --> 00:20:28,370
He said the British royalty were of
little importance, and that he stabbed
285
00:20:28,370 --> 00:20:30,450
himself. What? He did what?
286
00:20:30,710 --> 00:20:32,990
Well, he was only acting, but it looked
very real.
287
00:20:33,290 --> 00:20:36,590
He scared the younger children to tears,
and that was before the human
288
00:20:36,590 --> 00:20:38,690
sacrifice. Human sacrifice?
289
00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:40,590
Oh, good Lord, Felicity.
290
00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:45,570
It's hard to believe that even your
father permits such a man to teach
291
00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:49,390
Well, no one seems to notice his bizarre
behavior, except for myself.
292
00:20:50,510 --> 00:20:53,030
Someone really ought to keep an eye on
Professor Dimple, Aunt Hattie.
293
00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:54,870
Who knows what he'll do next?
294
00:20:55,890 --> 00:20:57,130
Thank you, Felicity.
295
00:20:59,450 --> 00:21:00,450
Someone shall.
296
00:21:00,910 --> 00:21:07,430
All right, Britons, out of your tents
and ready yourselves.
297
00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:15,850
Vikings, row and row and row.
298
00:21:18,370 --> 00:21:24,570
How do you think Ethelwulf felt when the
Vikings sacked Canterbury Cathedral?
299
00:21:25,290 --> 00:21:30,330
A thousand years ago, the Vikings were
the best shipbuilders and sailors in the
300
00:21:30,330 --> 00:21:34,770
world. All Europe trembled before their
fierce and rapacious attacks.
301
00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:37,590
Now, Vikings, prepare.
302
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,200
to attack.
303
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:45,980
Felix, you're Eric Erickson.
304
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,880
Guff, leave the lucky.
305
00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:57,560
Edward will be Eric the Red.
306
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,780
Rupert, kill it.
307
00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:05,780
Ethelred, be unready.
308
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,680
King of England.
309
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,100
Perhaps you'll want to nap under that
tree.
310
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,720
Shouldn't I prepare my troops for
battle, sir? Of course not. Why do you
311
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,520
you are called the Unready?
312
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:27,460
Felicity, you'll be Erika, the Viking
Queen.
313
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,660
I refuse to put that disgusting thing on
my head.
314
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,399
All right.
315
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,000
Who will be the Viking Queen, then?
316
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,680
I will.
317
00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:47,680
Erica, we are the fiercest warriors that
ever lived.
318
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,340
Now, Vikings!
319
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,800
Attack! Show no mercy! Take the wedge
first!
320
00:24:05,230 --> 00:24:06,230
What happened to you?
321
00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:07,770
Oh, history.
322
00:24:08,330 --> 00:24:09,330
It's wonderful.
323
00:24:09,710 --> 00:24:12,150
History? Did this to you and my pot?
324
00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:16,710
I'm a little confused, Felix King, and
more than a little angry.
325
00:24:17,950 --> 00:24:19,110
Are you all right?
326
00:24:19,550 --> 00:24:21,690
Oh, it's just a little scratch on it.
327
00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:25,770
Curls. You're both filthy.
328
00:24:26,190 --> 00:24:30,370
Professor Dimple recreated the Viking
attack on the Britons in the 9th
329
00:24:30,490 --> 00:24:34,610
I was Eric Erickson. After conquering
Britain, I just... Discovered America.
330
00:24:35,290 --> 00:24:36,490
I was captured.
331
00:24:36,970 --> 00:24:41,210
Professor Dimble is a rude, unmannered
brute with no consideration for the
332
00:24:41,210 --> 00:24:42,210
feelings in life.
333
00:24:42,290 --> 00:24:44,150
And the Vikings were just plain dirty.
334
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:51,210
Rachel! Rachel lived.
335
00:24:54,810 --> 00:24:59,830
I have never seen anything like it. Oh,
Rachel, they were having a pitched
336
00:24:59,830 --> 00:25:02,370
battle. There, behind the schoolhouse.
337
00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:05,310
Children beating each other senseless.
338
00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:08,570
Really? I'm sure it was just a game,
Hetty King.
339
00:25:09,850 --> 00:25:12,930
Defies every principal ever learned in
teacher's college.
340
00:25:13,290 --> 00:25:16,990
You don't know everything there is to
know under the sun, Hetty King. And you
341
00:25:16,990 --> 00:25:20,090
made an issue out of this when you
resigned. Why couldn't you listen to
342
00:25:20,150 --> 00:25:21,150
Well, I'm amazed.
343
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:26,960
I'd have thought you, of all people,
Rachel Lynde, would have had the
344
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,140
best welfare at heart.
345
00:25:28,380 --> 00:25:32,740
But I see there's not a soul in this
town with an ounce of common sense.
346
00:25:32,980 --> 00:25:34,780
So, um, good day to you.
347
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,520
Olivia.
348
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,320
Still got a bee in her bonnet about the
new schoolteacher.
349
00:25:42,180 --> 00:25:44,500
Oh, have you seen Professor Dimple?
350
00:25:44,820 --> 00:25:46,000
In the general store.
351
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:47,300
Thank you.
352
00:25:54,139 --> 00:25:55,139
Paper.
353
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,680
Bandages. Are you redecorating the
schoolhouse, Professor Dimple? No, no,
354
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:03,600
Professor Dimple?
355
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,800
Olivia Dale with the Avonlea Chronicle.
356
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,080
Member of the press.
357
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,440
Charmed man.
358
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,940
What may I do for you?
359
00:26:12,300 --> 00:26:15,300
Oh, well, I was hoping I could secure an
interview with you for the paper.
360
00:26:15,930 --> 00:26:19,550
An interview? Well, I'm hardly a
celebrity, Mrs. Dale.
361
00:26:19,850 --> 00:26:24,290
On the contrary, Professor. The whole
town's abuzz about you. They want every
362
00:26:24,290 --> 00:26:25,510
little detail, that's what.
363
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:28,430
We'll try to arrange a convenient time,
Mrs. Dale.
364
00:26:28,690 --> 00:26:31,430
Well, actually, I was thinking tomorrow
right after school.
365
00:26:31,690 --> 00:26:32,690
Oh, school.
366
00:26:32,910 --> 00:26:35,630
It's so challenging, so rewarding.
367
00:26:36,530 --> 00:26:37,890
Lessons to prepare, you know.
368
00:26:38,110 --> 00:26:39,110
Allow me, Professor.
369
00:26:39,290 --> 00:26:40,890
I adhere to a very nouveau programme.
370
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,160
I've asked Tisha the most modern
methods.
371
00:26:43,420 --> 00:26:45,580
My class was a cream of a generation.
372
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:50,060
A woman such as yourself, Mrs. Lynde,
can appreciate the subtle humanist
373
00:26:50,060 --> 00:26:51,560
of such a legacy.
374
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,040
Yes, absolutely.
375
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,520
Why, I'm a human myself, Professor.
376
00:27:02,460 --> 00:27:08,820
Was this the face that launched a
thousand ships and burnt the topless
377
00:27:08,820 --> 00:27:09,820
Ilium?
378
00:27:10,250 --> 00:27:15,410
Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman
in the world, over whom the Trojan War
379
00:27:15,410 --> 00:27:17,870
was fought and raged on for ten years.
380
00:27:18,390 --> 00:27:22,170
And look, the Greeks have sent us this
gift of peace.
381
00:27:23,030 --> 00:27:24,890
Felicity, that's your cue.
382
00:27:25,170 --> 00:27:28,390
I refuse to be a raving lunatic, even in
pretense.
383
00:27:28,610 --> 00:27:32,070
You're not a lunatic, Felicity. You're
the prophetess, Cassandra.
384
00:27:32,910 --> 00:27:34,850
Look, not a gift horse in the mouth.
385
00:27:55,540 --> 00:28:00,700
I will not shriek. Oh, horrible,
horrible, most horrible.
386
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,920
Mr. Dimple.
387
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,960
Mr. King.
388
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:12,240
Well, I hear some very fine things about
you, sir, for my children. Oh, thank
389
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,960
you. What a wonderful family you have,
Mr. King. Very bright, curious.
390
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,460
Yes, well, they've really changed since
your arrival.
391
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,700
I understand your methods are quite
different to those of my sister.
392
00:28:21,980 --> 00:28:23,080
Ah, yes.
393
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,700
Miss King, of course.
394
00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:27,800
And how is Miss King? I had hoped we
might chat.
395
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,680
Well, I wouldn't know. She's not really
speaking to me.
396
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,100
Because of me, sir.
397
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:37,760
I suppose, but it's really the whole
situation. She's taught for almost 30
398
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,140
years. My, my, that's very impressive.
399
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,640
But overwhelming. She deserves a
sabbatical.
400
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,680
A what? Time off.
401
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,540
Imagine giving up yourself day in, day
out for 30 years.
402
00:28:50,980 --> 00:28:53,120
All those minds enlightened.
403
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,400
over all those years.
404
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,380
I'd never really thought of it like
that. She deserves time to reflect, to
405
00:29:00,380 --> 00:29:03,940
collect her energies, to apply her
knowledge in other ways.
406
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,840
But we'll have to coax it out of her,
won't we?
407
00:29:08,540 --> 00:29:11,140
Coax isn't exactly the right word when
it comes to Hedy.
408
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,280
Oh, your credentials.
409
00:29:31,530 --> 00:29:32,530
I thought he was with you.
410
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,640
Do you see anything?
411
00:30:03,780 --> 00:30:04,780
Hello?
412
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:06,020
Professor Dimple?
413
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,640
What's all this?
414
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,880
It's a tomb.
415
00:30:09,220 --> 00:30:10,220
In Egypt?
416
00:30:14,580 --> 00:30:20,980
Welcome to the tomb of the great
pharaoh.
417
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:26,820
Touch me and you'll live to regret it,
Felix.
418
00:30:37,830 --> 00:30:38,830
Understand.
419
00:30:41,490 --> 00:30:48,230
And thrusting the venomous snake to her
breast, Cleopatra cried for them
420
00:30:48,230 --> 00:30:54,670
to drink deep of the royal blood of
Egypt and died mourning her lost
421
00:30:54,670 --> 00:30:58,230
love, the Roman Mark Antony.
422
00:30:58,590 --> 00:31:04,350
It's so romantic. And so passed the time
of the great pharaohs, their lives
423
00:31:04,350 --> 00:31:07,310
surrounded in a mystery of their
monuments.
424
00:31:13,450 --> 00:31:15,470
So much for antiquity.
425
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:18,450
Onward to history.
426
00:31:19,130 --> 00:31:24,090
Mr. Bugle. Our Henry VIII.
427
00:31:24,730 --> 00:31:29,430
And our beautiful queens of England.
428
00:31:29,970 --> 00:31:32,730
Catherine of Aragon.
429
00:31:33,150 --> 00:31:35,830
Anne Boleyn.
430
00:31:36,190 --> 00:31:39,090
Jane Seymour.
431
00:31:39,470 --> 00:31:41,510
Anne of Cleves.
432
00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:42,830
Catherine.
433
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,320
Divorce!
434
00:32:20,970 --> 00:32:21,909
Have a chat.
435
00:32:21,910 --> 00:32:26,370
Well, you're here now, so take it you've
got something on your mind.
436
00:32:27,470 --> 00:32:30,670
The classroom is a daunting place, Miss
King.
437
00:32:30,930 --> 00:32:36,810
All those bright expectant faces turned
up waiting for illumination.
438
00:32:37,610 --> 00:32:41,370
I find it a great adventure into the
imagination.
439
00:32:42,190 --> 00:32:43,190
Do you?
440
00:32:45,070 --> 00:32:49,410
Education requires fact, Mr. Dimple, not
fiction.
441
00:32:49,850 --> 00:32:50,850
Ah.
442
00:32:51,530 --> 00:32:54,290
The elucidation of those facts, Miss
King.
443
00:32:54,890 --> 00:33:01,190
Teaching is a profession that requires
the educator to be original, to present
444
00:33:01,190 --> 00:33:06,570
facts and figures in a palatable, even
interesting manner.
445
00:33:07,090 --> 00:33:09,550
It takes its toll.
446
00:33:10,030 --> 00:33:12,990
Oh, yes, it most certainly does that.
447
00:33:13,910 --> 00:33:17,570
Miss King, let me be perfectly honest.
448
00:33:17,810 --> 00:33:19,890
I know how you feel.
449
00:33:20,750 --> 00:33:24,630
Let me assure you that this position is
of paramount importance.
450
00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:28,090
It is the very sustenance of my life.
451
00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:33,330
I will do my very best not to let the
children down.
452
00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:40,490
I find, however, that the good parents
never realize the effort.
453
00:33:40,930 --> 00:33:42,110
No, they don't.
454
00:33:43,410 --> 00:33:49,170
The good parents, as you call them,
continually take me out, take us.
455
00:33:49,450 --> 00:33:53,910
For granted, do they not? There should
be a period of rejuvenation for
456
00:33:53,910 --> 00:33:54,910
educators.
457
00:33:55,190 --> 00:34:01,390
Say, every few years, time to gather new
energies, make other
458
00:34:01,390 --> 00:34:02,390
contributions.
459
00:34:03,590 --> 00:34:07,310
How do you mean, other contributions?
460
00:34:08,050 --> 00:34:10,770
I can see a great work in you, Miss
King.
461
00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:15,210
Oh, a great work, you say?
462
00:34:16,870 --> 00:34:19,050
The history of the island.
463
00:34:19,340 --> 00:34:26,139
Perhaps a history of the families of the
island, of the important
464
00:34:26,139 --> 00:34:28,179
families of the island.
465
00:34:28,659 --> 00:34:29,739
Well, it's true.
466
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:35,179
The king family does have a notable
tradition in these parts.
467
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:42,940
Surely you will want future generations,
future king generations, to view
468
00:34:42,940 --> 00:34:47,440
with pride their place in the founding
and building of this province.
469
00:34:48,969 --> 00:34:50,650
It's a thought, Professor.
470
00:34:52,370 --> 00:34:53,409
Good thought.
471
00:34:54,070 --> 00:34:55,070
Thank you.
472
00:35:01,190 --> 00:35:07,070
By the by, I do wish you every success
in your new position at the Avonlea
473
00:35:07,070 --> 00:35:12,070
School. One I enjoyed for many years.
Thank you, Miss King.
474
00:35:12,970 --> 00:35:13,970
Good day.
475
00:35:14,770 --> 00:35:15,770
Sarah.
476
00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:18,350
Bye, Mr. Dimple.
477
00:35:22,570 --> 00:35:25,850
Michael, Michael, how long is this
ceiling going to take?
478
00:35:27,810 --> 00:35:33,410
Pope Julius commissioned Michelangelo to
paint the Sistine Chapel.
479
00:35:33,850 --> 00:35:40,770
At the same time, Francis I was on the
throne in France and collecting art and
480
00:35:40,770 --> 00:35:41,830
artists.
481
00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:49,010
He offered a home to Leonardo da Vinci,
who packed up all his little sketches
482
00:35:49,010 --> 00:35:50,210
and paintings.
483
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:57,030
like the Mona Lisa, and moved to a
lovely little chateau in the Loire
484
00:35:58,550 --> 00:36:01,310
A little more blue in that sky, Felix.
485
00:36:02,590 --> 00:36:06,730
And who was on the throne in England?
486
00:36:07,610 --> 00:36:08,690
Sarah Stanley.
487
00:36:09,410 --> 00:36:11,570
Henry VIII, collected wives.
488
00:36:12,030 --> 00:36:13,590
Quite right, Sarah.
489
00:36:14,490 --> 00:36:15,550
Quite right.
490
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,340
Olivia, what is it?
491
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:25,920
What's the matter?
492
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,320
Read this.
493
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:30,820
Look. Second last page.
494
00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:32,820
Read this.
495
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,460
Upstaged by dust.
496
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:39,780
What are we going to do?
497
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:41,560
I'd better have a talk with Mr. Dimble.
498
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,880
Well, let's keep this between ourselves,
Olivia.
499
00:36:48,020 --> 00:36:50,080
Whatever you do, don't tell Hattie.
500
00:37:06,540 --> 00:37:08,260
Who was the first king of England?
501
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:10,680
Alfred the Great. He ate cakes in the
woods.
502
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:13,540
Henry V. Who won the Battle of
Agincourt?
503
00:37:13,860 --> 00:37:17,300
Henry V. He gave up his best friend,
Falstaff, to become king.
504
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:18,920
Sally Pops.
505
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,840
What houses fought the War of the Roses?
506
00:37:22,380 --> 00:37:24,320
Lancaster's in red, York in white.
507
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,220
I'll keep your gold.
508
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,760
Who inherited the throne from Elizabeth?
509
00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:33,500
James VI of Scotland became James I of
England. He had the Bible translated to
510
00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:34,840
English. Felix King.
511
00:37:35,210 --> 00:37:40,170
Who lost England to the Danes? Ethelred
the Unready. He took a nap.
512
00:37:40,530 --> 00:37:42,510
You are perfection itself.
513
00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:48,850
I cannot possibly decide who among you
should represent the school.
514
00:37:49,050 --> 00:37:51,050
You're all a font of wisdom.
515
00:37:51,390 --> 00:37:54,630
So, we shall draw names for the honor.
516
00:37:59,810 --> 00:38:04,370
Professor, Professor Dimple, I must have
a word with you. Excuse me, excuse me.
517
00:38:04,970 --> 00:38:07,490
It's about the Canterbury College of the
Instructional Arts.
518
00:38:07,770 --> 00:38:10,310
I must prepare my opening remarks.
Excuse me.
519
00:38:11,290 --> 00:38:15,050
Alec King, the children look positively
intelligent.
520
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:17,070
We have to talk about the professor.
521
00:38:17,490 --> 00:38:20,470
I've just received word that he is no
ordinary teacher.
522
00:38:20,830 --> 00:38:24,570
There's not an ordinary bone in the
man's body. No, no, you don't
523
00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:29,610
I understand that Professor Dimple is
crammed more into Rupert's head than I
524
00:38:29,610 --> 00:38:30,610
would have thought possible.
525
00:38:30,830 --> 00:38:34,230
True. And we are going to trounce
Markdale.
526
00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:35,710
Count on it.
527
00:38:37,330 --> 00:38:39,390
Well, Alec, a word with you.
528
00:38:39,690 --> 00:38:43,650
Eddie, I'm sorry. I should never have
let things go so far. You were right.
529
00:38:43,870 --> 00:38:44,970
Oh, no, I was wrong.
530
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:50,450
Foolish of me to allow a school to
occupy my every thought when there's so
531
00:38:50,450 --> 00:38:51,530
else to life, don't you think?
532
00:38:51,850 --> 00:38:56,830
No, I should have listened to you about
Professor Dimple. Oh, Professor Dimple.
533
00:38:58,250 --> 00:38:59,250
An excellent man.
534
00:39:00,030 --> 00:39:03,650
Discerning, subtle, perceptive. What?
No, no, no. That's ridiculous.
535
00:39:03,910 --> 00:39:06,630
The man is nothing but a... How like you
are a king.
536
00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:10,130
Might have expected such a response from
you.
537
00:39:10,650 --> 00:39:12,070
Untrained as you are in education.
538
00:39:12,530 --> 00:39:16,790
Incapable, really, of making a proper
evaluation. Look how you judge me. Not
539
00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:21,070
that I hold a grudge, but if you say one
word against Professor Dimple, I shall
540
00:39:21,070 --> 00:39:23,890
make every day of your life a misery.
You can count on it.
541
00:39:30,890 --> 00:39:31,890
Alec, Alec, is anything wrong?
542
00:39:32,110 --> 00:39:33,170
Well, yeah, it's Mr.
543
00:39:33,510 --> 00:39:35,070
Dimitol. Well, what, is he all right?
544
00:39:35,350 --> 00:39:38,930
Well... Father, where is he? We're
supposed to start soon.
545
00:39:40,170 --> 00:39:43,750
Well, uh, he must be backstage. You
better go.
546
00:39:44,730 --> 00:39:45,810
We'll talk about it later.
547
00:40:07,150 --> 00:40:09,710
Good parents, friends, and relations.
548
00:40:11,550 --> 00:40:15,050
There is nothing more important than
history.
549
00:40:15,630 --> 00:40:21,730
It marks the ebb and flow of time and
our places in that infinite spectrum.
550
00:40:23,390 --> 00:40:29,390
Tonight, in the Avonlea Town Hall, a
point of history will be made.
551
00:40:30,190 --> 00:40:35,730
The opposing teams match wit and wisdom
for the honor of their mates.
552
00:40:36,270 --> 00:40:37,270
and schools.
553
00:40:37,790 --> 00:40:44,470
And so, to the contest and to the
victors, their moment in
554
00:40:44,470 --> 00:40:45,470
time.
555
00:40:56,470 --> 00:40:59,770
For each correct answer, ten points.
556
00:41:00,290 --> 00:41:04,730
Teams have the opportunity to answer
incorrect responses and earn an
557
00:41:04,730 --> 00:41:06,280
additional... Five points.
558
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,880
First question to Avonlea School.
559
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,040
Who was the first Roman emperor to visit
the British Isles?
560
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,900
Oh, no. I knew he'd never remember.
561
00:41:25,380 --> 00:41:26,800
Your answer, please.
562
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:29,300
Oh, I remember.
563
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,040
He traveled to Rome with a man painted
all blue.
564
00:41:36,650 --> 00:41:37,650
Julius Caesar.
565
00:41:37,810 --> 00:41:38,810
Correct.
566
00:41:40,790 --> 00:41:45,250
Hockdale. In what year and at what place
did the War of the Roses end?
567
00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:50,270
1528.
568
00:41:50,630 --> 00:41:51,710
At a field.
569
00:41:52,150 --> 00:41:54,110
Incorrect. Avonlea.
570
00:41:54,670 --> 00:41:57,830
1485. Lost her field because Richard
lost his horse.
571
00:41:58,230 --> 00:41:59,230
Correct.
572
00:42:01,410 --> 00:42:03,890
Oh, look at you. Sunny the changed boy.
573
00:42:04,890 --> 00:42:05,890
Avonlea.
574
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,900
What English monarch went on the
Crusades?
575
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:11,880
Richard Curtaleon.
576
00:42:12,180 --> 00:42:14,020
He made Robin Hood a knight.
577
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:15,600
Correct.
578
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,820
Markdale. Who opposed Henry II and was
killed on the steps of Canterbury
579
00:42:20,820 --> 00:42:21,820
Cathedral?
580
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,160
Thomas Becket.
581
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:25,520
Correct.
582
00:42:26,780 --> 00:42:27,780
Haven't we?
583
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,440
Excuse me, dear. I'll be back before
long. The revolt of 1215.
584
00:42:33,540 --> 00:42:34,720
The Magna Carta.
585
00:42:35,180 --> 00:42:36,780
They didn't like paying all them taxes.
586
00:42:37,020 --> 00:42:38,020
Correct!
587
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,400
Mr.
588
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:50,780
King. Lovely night for a bit of air.
589
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,000
After the tension of a performance, I
like to get out for a bit. It's calming.
590
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,840
With your suitcase, Professor?
591
00:42:57,180 --> 00:42:58,540
Research. Very valuable.
592
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:00,960
I received your credentials.
593
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:08,160
You have bamboozled the school board,
the town, the province, the children and
594
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,360
their parents and myself.
595
00:43:10,220 --> 00:43:15,320
From one point of view, that's true. And
yet, have I done any harm?
596
00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:20,420
I've thought about that, and I have to
conclude that no harm has been done.
597
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,780
If anything, you've done the opposite.
598
00:43:23,460 --> 00:43:28,020
Oh, the children might have a few more
scratches on the outside, but on the
599
00:43:28,020 --> 00:43:30,360
inside, they have a new curiosity to
learn.
600
00:43:31,150 --> 00:43:33,910
I don't know how, but you managed to
inspire.
601
00:43:35,010 --> 00:43:37,650
Why, my sister has become your
staunchest offender.
602
00:43:39,390 --> 00:43:40,930
Inspiration and imagination.
603
00:43:41,450 --> 00:43:43,730
First principles of dramatics.
604
00:43:45,290 --> 00:43:46,890
So why did you do it?
605
00:43:48,050 --> 00:43:50,550
Lack of funds between engagements.
606
00:43:52,350 --> 00:43:55,430
Well, I'm afraid we can no longer employ
you here.
607
00:43:56,350 --> 00:43:57,750
What are you going to do?
608
00:43:58,870 --> 00:44:00,050
I'll think of something.
609
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:01,640
What about you?
610
00:44:02,180 --> 00:44:09,060
I have discovered, Mr. King, that all
the world's a stage, and all the
611
00:44:09,060 --> 00:44:10,980
men and women merely players.
612
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:18,120
They have their exits and entrances, and
one man in his time plays many parts.
613
00:44:20,980 --> 00:44:22,540
Good luck, Mr. Dimble.
614
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:28,140
And for what it's worth, I think the
theatrical reviewer of this newspaper
615
00:44:28,140 --> 00:44:29,300
much maligned you.
616
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:33,800
Thank you, Mr. King.
617
00:44:34,340 --> 00:44:35,660
Thank you indeed.
618
00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:10,140
Onward, Christian soldiers,
619
00:45:11,140 --> 00:45:15,260
marching hands to war.
620
00:45:26,340 --> 00:45:32,080
Well, unfortunately, Professor Dimple
has been suddenly recalled to Canterbury
621
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,620
to fill the shoes of the recently
deceased principal.
622
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,080
He sends his deepest apologies.
623
00:45:38,540 --> 00:45:40,880
Oh, that's awful. What'll we do now?
624
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:46,500
Fortunately, we have an outstanding
teacher right here. And our own Hetty
625
00:45:48,580 --> 00:45:51,900
Appreciate you. You've found confidence
in me, I like that.
626
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:59,780
Professor Dimple has asked me to return
with him to the Canterbury
627
00:45:59,780 --> 00:46:01,420
College of the Instructional Arts.
628
00:46:02,060 --> 00:46:05,180
Just writing a book together, you see,
about the...
629
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,700
What a unique situation facing students
and teachers there.
630
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:15,100
Understand what a challenge that would
be for two such educated as I looked at
631
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:16,100
myself.
632
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,600
Oh, I do understand perfectly, Hattie.
633
00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:22,120
But I beg you, consider the town, our
children.
634
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,700
Canterbury can survive without you, but
Avonlea can't.
635
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,140
The children, yes.
636
00:46:34,670 --> 00:46:35,810
I mustn't be selfish.
637
00:46:36,030 --> 00:46:38,390
I can't turn my back on Avonlea, can I?
638
00:46:39,730 --> 00:46:44,050
Well, then, Professor Dimple will simply
have to do it without me.
639
00:46:44,950 --> 00:46:46,710
We are ever in your debt.
640
00:46:48,810 --> 00:46:50,930
Come on. Thank you. Come on.
641
00:46:51,410 --> 00:46:53,850
Olivia, come on now.
642
00:46:57,850 --> 00:47:01,690
Ah, what smells so delicious in here.
643
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,400
Felix? What's the matter?
644
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,000
I think I feel sick.
645
00:47:09,740 --> 00:47:10,780
Could be the plague.
646
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,240
He doesn't want to go to school.
647
00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:14,540
Come on, Felix.
648
00:47:15,020 --> 00:47:17,260
Personally, I can't wait to resume my
proper education.
649
00:47:18,020 --> 00:47:19,300
Please may I be excused, Mother?
650
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:20,560
Yes, you may.
651
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,900
You may all be excused.
652
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,600
The return of Petty the Terrible.
653
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,000
Felix, don't talk that way about your
aunt.
654
00:47:34,570 --> 00:47:35,770
Hurry up, you'll all be late.
655
00:47:37,530 --> 00:47:38,930
Looked like they're going to an
execution.
656
00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:42,390
That's the way I always felt.
657
00:47:43,910 --> 00:47:45,710
Uh, Clarice, attention, please.
658
00:47:47,350 --> 00:47:51,550
Today we begin our study of the
exploration of the new world.
659
00:47:52,990 --> 00:47:58,390
Now then, um, Felix King, what can you
tell us about the voyage of Columbus?
660
00:48:00,910 --> 00:48:01,910
Columbus?
661
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,960
Come, come now, Felix. We're waiting.
662
00:48:05,780 --> 00:48:10,120
Um... Um, he... He travelled?
663
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:14,780
He... He travelled on a ship?
664
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,620
Oh, really, Felix King?
665
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,600
Will you never learn?
666
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:22,980
I suppose not.
667
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:31,020
I suppose the only way you will learn is
to play the part of
668
00:48:31,020 --> 00:48:32,220
Christopher Columbus.
669
00:48:34,250 --> 00:48:36,510
When we reenact the voyage.
670
00:48:37,330 --> 00:48:38,650
Is that it?
671
00:48:39,630 --> 00:48:40,850
Yes, ma 'am.
672
00:48:41,630 --> 00:48:48,610
Well, then, Columbus, as I hope some of
you already know, was the first
673
00:48:48,610 --> 00:48:53,810
explorer to settle in the New World
after the... Vikings!
674
00:48:54,610 --> 00:49:01,530
Gus Pike. You be King Ferdinand V, and
Felicity King is Queen Isabella of
675
00:49:01,530 --> 00:49:02,530
Paris.
