WEBVTT
00:02:40.745 --> 00:02:44.124
-Is this too fast?
-Harder!
00:02:53.383 --> 00:02:55.635
My sisters and I remember
that winter...
00:02:55.844 --> 00:02:58.471
...as the coldest of our childhood.
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.016
A temporary poverty had settled
upon our family some years before.
00:03:03.435 --> 00:03:06.646
The war had made fuel
and lamp oil scarce...
00:03:06.855 --> 00:03:09.983
...but necessity is indeed
the mother of invention.
00:03:10.191 --> 00:03:12.235
Somehow in that dark time...
00:03:12.444 --> 00:03:15.113
...our family, the March family...
00:03:15.321 --> 00:03:17.699
...seemed to create its own light.
00:03:17.907 --> 00:03:20.076
Marmee! Marmee's home!
00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:29.502
-Marmee!
-Marmee!
00:03:29.711 --> 00:03:30.754
We waited and waited !
00:03:30.962 --> 00:03:33.548
We've been expectorating
you for hours!
00:03:33.757 --> 00:03:37.135
-Have you , my darling?
-"Expecting," featherhead .
00:03:37.343 --> 00:03:39.345
-Oh , Marmee, you're frozen .
-Yes.
00:03:39.554 --> 00:03:42.515
If you could see the people lined up
outside Hope House in this bitter cold .
00:03:42.724 --> 00:03:44.851
Your cheeks are so warm.
Thank you , Cricket.
00:03:45.059 --> 00:03:46.603
Are you finished
the Christmas bundles?
00:03:46.811 --> 00:03:48.980
So many this year.
We were handing out--
00:03:49.189 --> 00:03:50.940
-Oh , how is your cold?
-Better.
00:03:51.149 --> 00:03:55.445
Good . We were handing out food as
quickly as we could make up the baskets.
00:03:55.653 --> 00:04:00.033
-Miss Amy, what is this in my pocket?
-Father!
00:04:09.626 --> 00:04:12.837
"My dearest family, I am well and safe.
00:04:13.046 --> 00:04:15.089
Our battalion is encamped
on the Potomac."
00:04:15.298 --> 00:04:18.176
-Potomac.
-Potomac.
00:04:18.384 --> 00:04:22.722
"December makes a hard , cold
season for all of us so far from home.
00:04:22.931 --> 00:04:24.599
I think of my girls day and night...
00:04:24.766 --> 00:04:27.352
...and find my best comfort
in your affection .
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.147
I pray that your own hardships
will not be too great to bear.
00:04:31.356 --> 00:04:34.567
Give them all my dear love
and a kiss.
00:04:34.776 --> 00:04:37.946
Tell them I think of them by day,
pray for them by night."
00:04:38.154 --> 00:04:42.826
-Poor father.
-I'm a selfish girl .
00:04:43.660 --> 00:04:44.702
Little ones.
00:04:46.412 --> 00:04:49.707
It's Christmas Eve.
Father wouldn't want us to be sad now.
00:05:10.436 --> 00:05:13.022
To bed , Miss Amy.
Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
00:05:13.231 --> 00:05:15.400
Merry Christmas.
00:05:18.778 --> 00:05:22.198
-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.328
Merry Christmas, Beth .
00:05:27.537 --> 00:05:29.956
-Love you .
-I love you .
00:05:32.834 --> 00:05:38.256
-My Jo. Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas, Marmee.
00:05:41.551 --> 00:05:43.553
And don't sit up too Iate.
00:05:43.761 --> 00:05:44.888
I won't.
00:06:06.784 --> 00:06:10.496
Late at night, my mind would come alive
with voices and stories...
00:06:10.705 --> 00:06:14.292
...and friends as dear to me
as any in the real world.
00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:19.380
L gave myself up to it,
longing for transformation.
00:06:23.718 --> 00:06:26.220
Oh , what miraculous food .
00:06:26.429 --> 00:06:29.849
Isn't this just Iike the old days, Hannah?
00:06:32.143 --> 00:06:34.228
We shouldn't eat it.
We should just look at it.
00:06:34.437 --> 00:06:35.813
I'm going to eat it.
00:06:36.022 --> 00:06:39.233
Jo? Jo, come down .
00:06:46.824 --> 00:06:50.662
I'm awake! Horrible piano.
00:06:51.663 --> 00:06:54.624
Hannah's put together
an absolute Christmas miracle.
00:06:54.832 --> 00:06:57.377
Is that sausage?
00:06:58.503 --> 00:07:00.171
Wait.
00:07:01.673 --> 00:07:05.802
Butter! Oh , isn't butter divinity?
00:07:06.010 --> 00:07:07.637
Oh , God , thank you for this breakfast.
00:07:07.845 --> 00:07:09.973
Jo, angel , fetch your Marmee.
00:07:10.181 --> 00:07:13.476
She went out at the crack of dawn
to see some Germans.
00:07:13.685 --> 00:07:17.146
Hummel , the boy said .
Not a word of English .
00:07:17.355 --> 00:07:22.402
H is da's gone. Six children ,
and she's about to issue another.
00:07:22.610 --> 00:07:24.612
May as well take them
a stick of firewood .
00:07:24.821 --> 00:07:26.072
Sure they haven't got any.
00:07:26.572 --> 00:07:29.200
Or breakfast either.
00:07:29.409 --> 00:07:32.412
Perhaps we could send
the H ummels our bread .
00:07:35.832 --> 00:07:39.002
Might as well send the butter too.
Butter's not much use...
00:07:39.210 --> 00:07:41.587
...without bread to put it on .
00:07:57.687 --> 00:07:59.564
Oh , wonderful snow.
00:07:59.772 --> 00:08:02.567
Don't you wish you could
roll about in it Iike dogs?
00:08:02.775 --> 00:08:06.154
Once one of our finest families.
00:08:12.326 --> 00:08:14.287
Lovely weather for a picnic!
00:08:14.495 --> 00:08:17.498
Come along , Theodore.
We'll be Iate for church .
00:08:23.004 --> 00:08:27.884
Jo, you should Iet them speak first.
What will they think of us?
00:08:28.092 --> 00:08:29.886
Oh , don't look back.
00:09:02.543 --> 00:09:06.506
"Knights and Iadies, elves and pages,
monks and flower girls...
00:09:06.714 --> 00:09:09.008
...all mingled gaily in the dance.
00:09:09.217 --> 00:09:13.554
Pauline cried out in horror
as her bridegroom's mask fell ...
00:09:13.763 --> 00:09:16.140
...disclosing not her Iover, Ferdinand ...
00:09:16.349 --> 00:09:20.478
...but the face of his sworn enemy,
Count Antonio.
00:09:21.813 --> 00:09:26.150
'Revenge is mine,' quoth he."
00:09:28.653 --> 00:09:31.322
Continued in the following edition .
00:09:31.531 --> 00:09:34.450
Excellent installment, Mr. Snodgrass.
00:09:38.704 --> 00:09:41.541
-Oh , I Iove forbidden marriages.
-You ought to publish it, Jo.
00:09:41.707 --> 00:09:44.001
Really. Not just in the Pickwick Portfolio.
00:09:44.210 --> 00:09:46.462
Mr. Tupman , are you demeaning
our fine newspaper?
00:09:46.629 --> 00:09:48.714
Mr. Winkle.
00:09:50.174 --> 00:09:53.344
"One periwink-- Advertisement."
00:09:54.804 --> 00:09:57.890
"One periwinkle sash
belonging to Mr. N . Winkle...
00:09:58.099 --> 00:10:01.018
...has been abscondated
from the wash Iine...
00:10:01.227 --> 00:10:05.273
...which gentleman desires
any reports Ieading to its recovery."
00:10:10.153 --> 00:10:14.323
Gentlemen of the press, hear, hear.
I call to your attention ...
00:10:14.532 --> 00:10:16.200
...our Mr. Tupman's
"The History of the Squash ."
00:10:16.409 --> 00:10:19.996
-Oh , don't read mine.
-Beth , this isn't a story. It's a recipe.
00:10:20.204 --> 00:10:21.956
Oh , dear, I never know what to write.
00:10:22.165 --> 00:10:27.044
First rule of writing , Mr. Tupman ,
is never write what you know.
00:10:28.296 --> 00:10:30.965
What do we think of the boy?
00:10:31.174 --> 00:10:35.469
Is he a captive Iike Smee
in Nicholas Nickleby?
00:10:35.678 --> 00:10:38.890
He looks Ionely.
You don't think he'll try to call?
00:10:39.098 --> 00:10:43.644
Maybe he has a secret.
A tragic, European secret.
00:10:43.853 --> 00:10:46.105
He's had no upbringing at all , they say.
00:10:46.314 --> 00:10:48.983
He was reared in Italy
among artists and vagrants.
00:10:49.192 --> 00:10:51.360
Doesn't he have a noble brow?
00:10:51.569 --> 00:10:54.155
If I were a boy,
I'd wanna Iook just Iike that.
00:10:54.363 --> 00:10:57.200
I magine giving up Italy
to come Iive with that awful old man .
00:10:57.408 --> 00:10:59.660
Oh , Jo, please don't say "awful ."
It's slang .
00:10:59.869 --> 00:11:01.871
I'd be terrified to live with him .
00:11:04.165 --> 00:11:08.502
I shouldn't mind living in such
a fine house, and having nice things.
00:11:08.711 --> 00:11:11.923
Oh , it doesn't seem
Iike Christmas this year without presents.
00:11:13.549 --> 00:11:16.844
I'm desperate for drawing pencils.
00:11:17.345 --> 00:11:22.266
I wish I didn't have to work for
Great-Aunt March , that crabby old miser.
00:11:22.475 --> 00:11:25.102
And you , Beth .
What's your Christmas wish?
00:11:25.311 --> 00:11:29.273
I'd Iike the war to end
so father can come home.
00:11:29.482 --> 00:11:33.194
Oh , sweet Beth . We all want that.
00:11:34.278 --> 00:11:36.197
They do have a beautiful piano.
00:11:36.405 --> 00:11:40.201
Wait till I'm a writer.
I'Il buy you the best piano in creation .
00:11:40.409 --> 00:11:43.120
And if she doesn't,
you can come over and play mine.
00:11:43.329 --> 00:11:45.998
When I marry,
I'm going to be disgustingly rich .
00:11:46.207 --> 00:11:50.002
And what if the man you Iove
is a poor man , but good Iike father?
00:11:50.211 --> 00:11:54.173
Well , it isn't Iike being stuck
with the dreadful nose you get.
00:11:54.382 --> 00:11:56.550
One does have a choice
to whom one loves.
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.344
You have a lovely nose.
00:11:58.552 --> 00:12:00.554
Well , I wouldn't marry for the money.
00:12:00.763 --> 00:12:03.474
I mean , what if his business goes bust?
00:12:03.683 --> 00:12:07.770
Besides, down at the Eagle,
they pay $5 for each story they print.
00:12:07.979 --> 00:12:10.564
Why, I have ten stories
in my head right now.
00:12:10.773 --> 00:12:15.111
Gentlemen , I dislike all this money talk.
It isn't refined .
00:12:15.319 --> 00:12:19.240
Well , if Iack of attention to personal
finances is a mark of refinement...
00:12:19.448 --> 00:12:23.744
...then I'd say the Marches
are the most elegant family in Concord .
00:12:24.870 --> 00:12:27.039
We'll all grow up someday, Meg .
00:12:27.248 --> 00:12:30.001
We might as well know what we want.
00:12:31.544 --> 00:12:35.381
That'II do, that'II do. Put the carriage
away, and look smart about it.
00:12:35.589 --> 00:12:37.341
Very good , sir.
00:12:38.676 --> 00:12:39.885
Merry Christmas.
00:12:42.346 --> 00:12:44.557
I have the most wonderful feeling
about tonight.
00:12:44.765 --> 00:12:48.686
Meg and Jo, you have to tell me
everything about Belle Gardiner.
00:12:48.894 --> 00:12:50.646
What her nose Iooks Iike
and about her ring .
00:12:50.813 --> 00:12:52.273
Annie Gardiner says it's an emerald .
00:12:52.481 --> 00:12:55.109
Can you imagine?
Everyone's Iucky but me.
00:12:55.276 --> 00:12:58.571
I'm glad I don't have to go
and be with all those frightening people...
00:12:58.779 --> 00:13:01.574
-...and try to think of things to say.
-Hush now.
00:13:01.782 --> 00:13:04.285
Oh , mind you , Jo,
don't eat much at supper.
00:13:04.493 --> 00:13:06.912
And don't shake hands with people.
It isn't the thing anymore.
00:13:07.121 --> 00:13:10.041
-Jo, your dress!
-Oh , I know!
00:13:10.249 --> 00:13:12.793
You always stand too close to the fire.
00:13:13.002 --> 00:13:15.796
Oh , dear.
Well , just keep your backside to the wall .
00:13:16.005 --> 00:13:18.382
Meg , Iook. What cunning little heels.
00:13:18.591 --> 00:13:22.762
-They're rather small .
-That's all right. It's only for one night.
00:13:22.970 --> 00:13:25.723
You don't suppose anyone will notice
they came out of the rag bag , do you?
00:13:27.016 --> 00:13:28.309
You have to have heels.
00:13:31.020 --> 00:13:32.521
What's that strange smell?
00:13:34.648 --> 00:13:36.484
Like burnt feathers.
00:13:42.990 --> 00:13:45.618
-Heavens above.
-You've ruined me.
00:13:45.826 --> 00:13:49.997
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You shouldn't have had me do it.
00:13:50.206 --> 00:13:53.292
-Meg , don't worry. It'Il grow back.
-I spoil everything .
00:13:54.168 --> 00:13:55.878
I can't go out Iike this.
00:13:56.087 --> 00:13:58.047
Well , good ! I'm not going either.
00:13:58.255 --> 00:14:01.258
Here, we'II place my bow in front.
00:14:02.426 --> 00:14:05.137
-Yes, that covers it.
-It's very becoming , Meg .
00:14:05.346 --> 00:14:09.850
I'Il never have any suitors.
I'Il just be a dried-up old spinster.
00:14:10.059 --> 00:14:15.022
You don't need scores of suitors.
You only need one, if he's the right one.
00:14:15.231 --> 00:14:17.149
Listen to the child .
00:14:17.358 --> 00:14:20.945
Meg isn't going to
be married right away, is she?
00:14:21.153 --> 00:14:23.823
With Jo's help, I never will .
00:14:26.450 --> 00:14:30.871
-Oh , you must be so happy.
-Oh , Belle, it's enchanting .
00:14:32.248 --> 00:14:36.293
Well , I best go and help Mama.
Excuse me.
00:14:47.555 --> 00:14:51.142
I think it's Mrs. Barkley.
00:14:51.725 --> 00:14:53.394
She's going to try it. Watch her.
00:15:14.623 --> 00:15:19.503
Oh , yes, I would Iike it very much .
That's very kind .
00:15:29.388 --> 00:15:30.764
Jehoshaphat! I'm sorry.
00:15:30.973 --> 00:15:34.560
No, no, stay.
It's not a bad hiding place, is it?
00:15:34.768 --> 00:15:36.228
You see, I don't know anyone...
00:15:36.395 --> 00:15:38.814
...so I feel awkward
just standing and staring at people.
00:15:39.023 --> 00:15:42.485
Should I put on my jacket?
I never know the rules.
00:15:43.277 --> 00:15:44.945
I'm Laurie.
00:15:45.154 --> 00:15:48.157
Theodore Laurence,
but I'm called Laurie.
00:15:48.365 --> 00:15:50.367
Jo March .
00:15:51.744 --> 00:15:54.163
So who were you staring at?
00:15:54.371 --> 00:15:58.334
You , actually.
What game were you playing?
00:15:58.542 --> 00:16:01.212
I don't know, but I think I won .
00:16:01.420 --> 00:16:05.257
-Who else?
-Well , I was--
00:16:05.591 --> 00:16:07.885
I was quite taken with that one.
00:16:12.681 --> 00:16:16.477
That's Meg . That's my sister.
00:16:18.562 --> 00:16:21.398
She's completely bald in front.
00:16:22.483 --> 00:16:26.111
Is it true that you Iived in Italy
among artists and vagrants?
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:31.200
Well , my mother was Italian . A pianist.
00:16:33.244 --> 00:16:35.788
-Grandfather disapproved of her.
-Truly?
00:16:35.996 --> 00:16:39.083
I saw a play Iike that once.
Do you Iike the theater?
00:16:39.291 --> 00:16:41.377
-Oh , yes.
-Were you born there?
00:16:41.585 --> 00:16:44.880
Where? I n-- I n Italy.
00:16:45.089 --> 00:16:47.758
-Do you speak French or Italian?
-English at home.
00:16:48.884 --> 00:16:51.720
The music conservatory in Vevey.
00:16:51.929 --> 00:16:53.389
But grandfather's having me tutored now.
00:16:53.597 --> 00:16:59.770
-He insists I go to college.
-Oh , I'd commit murder to go to college.
00:17:01.188 --> 00:17:04.149
Actually, I'm going to Europe.
00:17:04.358 --> 00:17:08.821
Well , at Ieast I hope I am. My Great-Aunt
March says she'II go one of these days...
00:17:09.029 --> 00:17:12.199
...and she has to take me with her
because I work as her companion .
00:17:12.408 --> 00:17:15.744
I have to read to her for hours and hours.
00:17:15.953 --> 00:17:19.206
-But I do all the voices.
-I'Il bet you do.
00:17:19.415 --> 00:17:24.420
If I weren't going to be a writer,
I'd go to New York and pursue the stage.
00:17:24.628 --> 00:17:28.340
-Are you shocked?
-Very.
00:17:37.224 --> 00:17:38.851
Sorry.
00:17:53.574 --> 00:17:57.411
I'm sorry. Meg always makes me
take the gentleman's part at home.
00:17:57.620 --> 00:18:00.164
It's a shame you don't know
the Iady's part.
00:18:02.041 --> 00:18:03.959
Are you looking
at the back of my dress, you cheat?
00:18:04.168 --> 00:18:06.128
It doesn't look so bad . Honestly.
00:18:06.337 --> 00:18:08.631
You promised you wouldn't Iook.
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.966
Oh , Jo. Jo, I've sprained my ankle.
00:18:11.175 --> 00:18:13.510
I shouldn't wonder, in those shoes.
Does it hurt?
00:18:13.677 --> 00:18:15.971
Oh , no, no. I'm quite well , thank you .
00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:19.850
Well , this is our neighbor,
Laurie, the captive.
00:18:20.225 --> 00:18:22.186
Oh , poor Meg . I'II go tell Mrs. Gardiner.
00:18:22.394 --> 00:18:24.980
Oh , no, Jo. She'II think
I've been sampling the punch .
00:18:25.189 --> 00:18:28.609
-A perfectly good party ruined .
-Well , I have my carriage.
00:18:28.817 --> 00:18:29.985
-Let me take you home.
-Oh , yes!
00:18:30.194 --> 00:18:31.987
Oh , no, thank you .
00:18:35.449 --> 00:18:36.992
Thank you .
00:18:45.042 --> 00:18:48.003
Here, lean on me. Thank you ,
Mr. Laurence. That's very kind of you .
00:18:48.170 --> 00:18:49.546
-Not at all .
-Goodbye, Laurie.
00:18:49.713 --> 00:18:53.217
-Good night, Mrs. March .
-Meg , wherever did you get this shoe?
00:18:54.718 --> 00:18:58.055
Did you ride in his carriage?
Oh , you two have all the Iuck.
00:18:58.263 --> 00:19:01.892
-Oh , Jo, is he very romantic?
-Not in the slightest.
00:19:02.101 --> 00:19:05.229
Well , we're very much obliged to him,
but he's a dreadful boy.
00:19:05.437 --> 00:19:08.023
Well , he did a good deed
putting snow on this ankle.
00:19:08.232 --> 00:19:12.653
-He put snow on your ankle?
-To bed , Miss Amy.
00:19:12.861 --> 00:19:15.989
-With his own hands?
-Oh , stop being so swoony.
00:19:16.198 --> 00:19:21.328
I won't have my girls
being silly about boys. To bed . Jo, dear.
00:19:21.537 --> 00:19:24.289
Does this hurt?
00:19:24.498 --> 00:19:27.167
-Everything Iovely happens to Meg .
-Oh , yes indeed !
00:19:27.376 --> 00:19:29.878
You mustn't be soppy about Laurie
any more than you should be soppy...
00:19:30.087 --> 00:19:31.797
...about those silly girls at school .
00:19:31.964 --> 00:19:34.466
-I hope we shall be good friends with him .
-With a boy?
00:19:34.633 --> 00:19:37.761
He isn't a boy. He's Laurie.
00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:43.392
Faster!
00:19:46.687 --> 00:19:49.231
Faster!
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:51.108
Faster!
00:19:51.316 --> 00:19:52.901
Laurie!
00:19:59.450 --> 00:20:03.412
Your young Iadies are unusually active,
Mrs. March , if I may say so.
00:20:03.620 --> 00:20:05.956
You may indeed , Mr. Brooke.
00:20:06.165 --> 00:20:08.333
It's my opinion that young girls
are no different than boys...
00:20:08.542 --> 00:20:09.626
...in their need for exertion .
00:20:09.835 --> 00:20:12.463
Feminine weakness
and fainting spells are the direct result...
00:20:12.671 --> 00:20:14.339
...of our confining young girls
to the house...
00:20:14.548 --> 00:20:17.801
...bent over their needlework
in restrictive corsets.
00:20:20.179 --> 00:20:22.389
Marmee.
00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:27.311
-Laurie.
-Your young student is an athlete.
00:20:28.437 --> 00:20:30.731
He is, thank you , a good one.
00:20:30.939 --> 00:20:33.233
But he makes an unruly scholar.
00:20:33.442 --> 00:20:36.153
I regret that his grandfather
is away much .
00:20:37.946 --> 00:20:41.200
One hopes that your girls
will be a gentling influence.
00:20:41.408 --> 00:20:43.660
I ndeed , Mr. Brooke.
00:20:45.204 --> 00:20:49.458
Marmee, must you speak
to everyone about corsets?
00:20:49.666 --> 00:20:51.293
Oh , Meg .
00:20:51.502 --> 00:20:53.337
Do I?
00:20:57.591 --> 00:21:00.844
BIast these wretched skirts!
00:21:01.345 --> 00:21:03.180
Don't say "blast" and "wretch ."
00:21:03.388 --> 00:21:06.558
Amy, don't be such a ninny-pinny.
00:21:06.767 --> 00:21:09.853
I wish I was Beth so I could stay home
and do pleasant things.
00:21:10.062 --> 00:21:13.941
Oh , if you call doing Iaundry
and housework pleasant.
00:21:14.358 --> 00:21:16.109
BIast.
00:21:16.318 --> 00:21:19.321
Amy, hurry. I'II be late for work.
00:21:20.322 --> 00:21:24.117
There's Mrs. King . I'm tardy again .
00:21:26.537 --> 00:21:28.372
Lovely children .
00:21:28.580 --> 00:21:32.417
Oh , Meg , must I go to school?
I'm so degradatated .
00:21:32.626 --> 00:21:35.671
I can hardly hold my head up.
I owe at Ieast a dozen Iimes.
00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:37.881
-Limes?
-Are Iimes the fashion now?
00:21:38.090 --> 00:21:40.509
Of course they are.
It's nothing but limes now.
00:21:40.717 --> 00:21:43.720
Everyone keeps them in their desks,
and trades them for beads and things.
00:21:43.929 --> 00:21:45.764
And all the girls treat each other
at recess.
00:21:45.973 --> 00:21:49.643
If you don't bring Iimes to school , you're
nothing . You might as well be dead .
00:21:49.852 --> 00:21:52.563
I've had ever so many Iimes,
and I can't pay anyone back.
00:21:52.771 --> 00:21:55.732
Well , no wonder you don't Iearn
anything at that school .
00:21:55.941 --> 00:21:58.318
I know how it feels to do
without any little Iuxuries.
00:21:58.527 --> 00:21:59.570
Meg !
00:21:59.778 --> 00:22:01.905
But we are not destitute, not yet.
00:22:02.114 --> 00:22:05.993
Here's a quarter. Marmee gave me
the rag money this month .
00:22:06.910 --> 00:22:08.453
Go on .
00:22:14.626 --> 00:22:19.631
"Secondly, the immortality of the soul ...
00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:22.759
...is asserted to be in consequence...
00:22:22.968 --> 00:22:25.262
...of its immateriality...
00:22:25.470 --> 00:22:28.599
...as in all Ieipothymic cases...
00:22:28.807 --> 00:22:34.021
...consistent with the idea of immortality...
00:22:34.229 --> 00:22:38.901
...and immorality, and physicality. . . ."
00:22:39.109 --> 00:22:45.741
And I think you finally dozed off.
00:23:13.727 --> 00:23:16.897
Josephine, there's a draft!
00:23:26.823 --> 00:23:29.117
Is it father?
00:23:32.579 --> 00:23:34.331
Teacher struck me.
00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:37.668
He put the Iimes out into the snow.
00:23:41.213 --> 00:23:44.758
May Chester said my limes must
have been donated to Hope House.
00:23:44.967 --> 00:23:48.971
And then I said that she wouldn't
get a single Iime from me.
00:23:49.179 --> 00:23:51.974
And then she told Mr. Davis
they were hidden in my desk...
00:23:52.182 --> 00:23:53.684
...and then he struck me.
00:23:53.892 --> 00:23:57.020
We ought to go over there and beat
the tar out of him with his own stick!
00:23:57.229 --> 00:24:00.524
Jo, we must not embrace violence.
00:24:00.732 --> 00:24:05.070
-No, I will write this man a letter.
-A Ietter? That'II show him.
00:24:05.445 --> 00:24:07.698
You failed to mention to me
they were forbidden .
00:24:07.864 --> 00:24:09.574
A whole month's rag money?
00:24:09.783 --> 00:24:14.037
-Amy, I shouldn't have given it to you .
-I'm sorry.
00:24:14.246 --> 00:24:17.874
AII those Iovely Iimes.
I'm perfectly desolated .
00:24:18.083 --> 00:24:19.876
Well , I'm not sorry you Iost them .
00:24:20.085 --> 00:24:21.837
It's a frivolous concern
in times like these.
00:24:22.045 --> 00:24:24.256
You are more intent upon reshaping
your dear little nose...
00:24:24.464 --> 00:24:26.591
...than in fashioning your character.
00:24:26.800 --> 00:24:28.969
It's an appalling school .
Your spelling's atrocious...
00:24:29.177 --> 00:24:30.721
...your Latin absurd .
00:24:30.929 --> 00:24:35.809
Mr. Davis said it was as useful to educate
a woman as to educate a female cat.
00:24:38.145 --> 00:24:42.399
I really must strangle Mr. Davis.
00:24:43.066 --> 00:24:46.069
"Mr. Davis.
00:24:46.278 --> 00:24:48.071
What right have you to strike a child?
00:24:48.280 --> 00:24:51.450
I n God's eyes, we are all children
and we are all equals.
00:24:51.616 --> 00:24:55.203
If you hit and humiliate a child ,
the only Iesson she will learn ...
00:24:55.412 --> 00:24:57.539
...is to hit and humiliate."
00:24:58.749 --> 00:25:02.127
Amy, do you think you can
discipline yourself...
00:25:02.335 --> 00:25:04.046
...to Iearn at home as Beth has done?
00:25:08.050 --> 00:25:10.343
"I withdraw my daughter Amy
from your school ."
00:25:10.552 --> 00:25:11.928
It serves the scoundrel right.
00:25:12.095 --> 00:25:15.182
Jo will now supervise your education .
00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:27.069
Jo, tell me what happens next...
00:25:27.277 --> 00:25:31.865
...after the duke turns his back on
his family fortune and saves Lady Zara.
00:25:32.074 --> 00:25:35.786
Don't know. It's all murder and gore.
00:25:35.994 --> 00:25:40.373
-The damsel's in distress.
-Oh , I Iove your damsels in distress.
00:25:40.582 --> 00:25:45.962
Oh , Beth , truly, I don't know
if I could ever be good like Marmee.
00:25:46.463 --> 00:25:50.008
I rather crave violence.
00:25:50.467 --> 00:25:52.094
If only I could be Iike Father...
00:25:52.302 --> 00:25:57.557
...and go to war and stand up
to the Iions of injustice.
00:25:57.766 --> 00:26:00.560
And so Marmee does
in her own way.
00:26:00.769 --> 00:26:02.562
Yes.
00:26:03.063 --> 00:26:06.108
But I want to do something different.
00:26:06.399 --> 00:26:10.028
I don't know what it is yet,
but I'm on the watch for it.
00:26:10.237 --> 00:26:12.614
You will find it, Jo.
00:26:21.957 --> 00:26:23.834
Hello! Jo!
00:26:24.042 --> 00:26:28.046
Come over here. You too, Meg .
It's dull as tombs around here.
00:26:28.255 --> 00:26:31.883
Mr. Laurence, one doesn't shout at Iadies
as if they were cattle.
00:26:39.558 --> 00:26:40.892
My apologies!
00:26:51.528 --> 00:26:53.196
AII right.
00:27:05.333 --> 00:27:08.128
What do those girls do
over there all day?
00:27:08.336 --> 00:27:10.755
Over the mysteries of female Iife...
00:27:10.964 --> 00:27:15.385
...there is drawn a veil
best Ieft undisturbed .
00:27:40.702 --> 00:27:44.039
Oh , dear countess, pray for me...
00:27:44.247 --> 00:27:47.834
...for I have sinned against meself
and me brother Rodrigo.
00:27:48.043 --> 00:27:51.588
You've got to say "sinned"
as if you've really sinned .
00:27:51.796 --> 00:27:54.716
Sinned . Sinned .
00:27:55.550 --> 00:27:57.093
Rodrigo.
00:27:57.302 --> 00:28:00.472
You arrive seeking
the Duke of Lankershire.
00:28:01.181 --> 00:28:03.642
Hark ye. Who goes there?
00:28:03.850 --> 00:28:05.560
Oh , I forgot the cymbals.
00:28:05.769 --> 00:28:09.731
Why it's-- It's Rodrigo!
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.486
-Rodrigo.
-I want to be Lady Violet.
00:28:14.694 --> 00:28:17.864
I'm exhaustified of being the boy.
00:28:18.073 --> 00:28:22.494
The play is the thing , Amy.
You're too little to be Lady Violet.
00:28:22.702 --> 00:28:24.704
Here,
be the Countess de Montanescu .
00:28:24.913 --> 00:28:29.209
-You don't have any Iines.
-Besides, who would be our Rodrigo?
00:28:31.962 --> 00:28:33.797
Gentlemen ...
00:28:35.423 --> 00:28:40.220
...I propose the admission
of a new member to our theatrical society.
00:28:40.428 --> 00:28:42.430
Theodore Laurence.
We'll put it to a vote.
00:28:42.597 --> 00:28:45.934
Nay. He'Il laugh at our acting ,
and poke fun at us Iater.
00:28:46.142 --> 00:28:47.477
He'Il think it's only a game.
00:28:47.686 --> 00:28:49.771
No, he won't.
U pon my word as a gentleman .
00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:53.608
Jo, when it's only Iadies, we don't guard
our conduct in the same way.
00:28:53.817 --> 00:28:56.820
We bear our souls and tell
the most appalling secrets.
00:28:57.028 --> 00:28:58.238
He would find us improper.
00:28:58.405 --> 00:29:01.574
Oh , Teddy would do nothing of the sort.
00:29:02.409 --> 00:29:04.577
Oh , please. Let's try him.
00:29:04.786 --> 00:29:06.579
Shall we?
00:29:08.957 --> 00:29:10.041
-Jo!
-Jo, you traitor!
00:29:10.250 --> 00:29:13.962
Fellow artists, may I present myself...
00:29:14.170 --> 00:29:17.340
...as an actor, a musician , and a Ioyal ...
00:29:17.549 --> 00:29:21.553
-...and very humble servant of the club.
-We'll be the judge of that.
00:29:21.761 --> 00:29:25.181
I n token of my gratitude,
and as a means of promoting ...
00:29:25.390 --> 00:29:27.600
...communication between
adjoining nations...
00:29:27.809 --> 00:29:32.439
...shouting from windows being forbidden ,
I shall provide...
00:29:33.231 --> 00:29:36.109
...a post office in our hedge...
00:29:36.318 --> 00:29:40.613
...to further encourage
the baring of our souls...
00:29:40.822 --> 00:29:44.117
...and the telling
of our most appalling secrets.
00:29:47.704 --> 00:29:49.289
I do pledge...
00:29:49.497 --> 00:29:53.376
...never to reveal
what I receive in confidence here.
00:29:57.714 --> 00:29:59.591
Well , then ...
00:30:01.634 --> 00:30:04.429
...do take your place, Rodrigo.
00:30:04.637 --> 00:30:08.183
Sir Rodrigo.
00:30:14.689 --> 00:30:18.735
And so Laurie was admitted
as an equal into our society...
00:30:18.943 --> 00:30:21.446
...and we March girls could enjoy
the daily novelty...
00:30:21.654 --> 00:30:25.241
...of having a real brother
of our very own.
00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:32.999
I want to go to the theater.
I never get to go anhere.
00:30:33.208 --> 00:30:36.336
You're too little. Beth , where in tarnation
are Marmee's opera glasses?
00:30:36.544 --> 00:30:39.839
I'm not too Iittle.
You're just hogging Laurie.
00:30:40.048 --> 00:30:41.549
PIease, can't I go?
00:30:41.758 --> 00:30:44.511
Oh , Amy, I'm afraid Laurie
only reserved four seats.
00:30:44.719 --> 00:30:45.762
Do I Iook too shabby?
00:30:45.970 --> 00:30:47.889
Oh , Jehoshaphat, Meg ,
this isn't a coronation .
00:30:48.098 --> 00:30:51.559
It's just Laurie
and that awful Mr. Brooke.
00:30:51.768 --> 00:30:54.687
Jo, can't you ask Teddy
to get another ticket?
00:30:54.854 --> 00:30:56.064
No.
00:30:56.272 --> 00:30:58.108
You have a cold , dear. Rest your eyes.
00:30:58.316 --> 00:31:00.693
Evangeline and I will make
you some ginger tea.
00:31:00.902 --> 00:31:02.529
You're weeks behind in algebra.
00:31:02.737 --> 00:31:04.781
Now, I want you to do all the pages
that I've marked .
00:31:04.989 --> 00:31:07.409
I won't have a sister
who's a lazy ignoramus.
00:31:07.617 --> 00:31:10.286
And don't sulk.
You look Iike a pigeon .
00:31:12.080 --> 00:31:13.623
Good night.
00:31:17.919 --> 00:31:20.713
You'Il be sorry for this, Jo March !
00:31:28.513 --> 00:31:29.973
Whoa, there.
00:31:34.227 --> 00:31:35.770
Thank you .
00:31:36.438 --> 00:31:40.316
Oh , Mrs. Nell Watson .
Wasn't she a wonderful swooner?
00:31:40.525 --> 00:31:42.277
If only I were the swooning type.
00:31:42.485 --> 00:31:45.447
If only I were the catching type.
00:31:45.655 --> 00:31:50.952
Young Laurence informs me that you are
an aficionado of the theater, Miss March .
00:31:52.078 --> 00:31:54.998
-Well , I . . . . I enjoy reading plays.
-Yes.
00:31:55.206 --> 00:31:59.085
I find it most pleasurable, myself.
00:31:59.294 --> 00:32:01.754
Though , I confess,
I'm distracted at the theater...
00:32:01.963 --> 00:32:05.133
...thinking of the peculiar lives
of the actors themselves.
00:32:05.341 --> 00:32:08.428
When one considers the immodesties
Mrs. Nell Watson suffers...
00:32:08.636 --> 00:32:11.806
...one wonders what sort of Iady
would seek such a life.
00:32:12.015 --> 00:32:14.267
Meg is a sensational actress.
00:32:14.476 --> 00:32:17.145
We're always putting on
wild theatricals.
00:32:17.353 --> 00:32:20.273
Oh , it's just something that we play at.
00:32:21.149 --> 00:32:27.071
Well , as a matter of fact,
at school , I engaged in debating .
00:32:27.280 --> 00:32:32.243
What do you think of that?
Let's see what they do.
00:32:41.294 --> 00:32:44.631
-I had a wonderful time, Mr. Brooke.
-As did I .
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:46.466
It was a most delightful evening .
00:32:46.633 --> 00:32:51.304
-And I'd very much like--
-Thank you very much . Good night.
00:32:51.513 --> 00:32:53.848
-Oh , good night.
-Good night.
00:32:57.810 --> 00:33:01.564
-That was rude.
-You plastered yourself on him .
00:33:01.773 --> 00:33:03.691
It's proper to take a gentleman's arm
if it's offered .
00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:07.028
How was the theater? Amusing?
00:33:07.654 --> 00:33:13.201
It was wonderful . I was absolutely
inspired by the Iove scene.
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:18.706
You look flushed , Meg , dear.
Was the theater overcrowded?
00:33:23.503 --> 00:33:25.922
Still sulking?
00:33:36.683 --> 00:33:38.977
Beth , where did I put my manuscript?
00:33:39.185 --> 00:33:40.770
Beth .
00:33:52.073 --> 00:33:55.743
No. No. No.
00:33:59.998 --> 00:34:01.332
I didn't do it!
00:34:02.250 --> 00:34:06.004
I'm gonna kill you !
I'm gonna kill you !
00:34:06.212 --> 00:34:10.508
-Marmee, help me!
-I'm gonna kill you ! Do you hear me?
00:34:10.675 --> 00:34:12.385
-How could you do this to me?
-Marmee!
00:34:12.594 --> 00:34:14.053
-Marmee!
-Jo!
00:34:14.262 --> 00:34:16.431
-Jo, stop it. You're hurting her.
-Marmee!
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:18.766
-Marmee!
-Jo! Jo! Let go of her!
00:34:18.975 --> 00:34:23.021
-What's happened? Jo. All right.
-I hate you ! I hate you !
00:34:23.438 --> 00:34:25.273
No, Jo!
00:34:25.481 --> 00:34:27.942
Don't touch it. Let it go, sweetheart.
00:34:28.151 --> 00:34:30.236
Come, just let it go.
00:34:31.446 --> 00:34:34.365
You're dead ! You're nothing !
00:34:34.741 --> 00:34:37.785
I never want to see you again !
00:34:48.338 --> 00:34:52.467
It is a very great Ioss,
and you have every right to be put out.
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.053
But don't Iet the sun go down
upon your anger.
00:34:55.261 --> 00:34:59.265
Forgive each other.
Begin again tomorrow, huh?
00:34:59.474 --> 00:35:02.101
I will never forgive her.
00:35:06.522 --> 00:35:08.983
I'm sorry, Jo.
00:35:32.173 --> 00:35:34.801
Looks Iike the Iast ice
we'Il have this year.
00:35:36.469 --> 00:35:37.637
Say "go."
00:35:37.845 --> 00:35:41.099
Laurie, Jo, wait for me!
00:35:41.307 --> 00:35:43.184
Ignore her.
00:35:43.393 --> 00:35:45.853
Ready-- BIast!
00:35:47.647 --> 00:35:49.357
You cheat!
00:35:52.777 --> 00:35:54.946
Jo, please.
00:36:14.507 --> 00:36:16.175
-Jo!
-Amy!
00:36:16.384 --> 00:36:20.638
-Jo!
-Hold on! I'm coming !
00:36:24.142 --> 00:36:25.601
Hold on, Amy.
00:36:28.229 --> 00:36:29.981
Get a rail !
00:36:34.235 --> 00:36:36.237
Grab the stick, Amy.
00:36:37.613 --> 00:36:39.115
-Grab it!
-Come on !
00:36:42.869 --> 00:36:44.579
-Hold on!
-Hold on . Hold on .
00:36:51.586 --> 00:36:54.589
-There we go. That's it, that's it.
-AII right.
00:36:54.797 --> 00:36:55.840
There we go.
00:36:57.592 --> 00:37:00.428
Josephine March , you walked
all the way from Walden Pond ...
00:37:00.636 --> 00:37:04.265
-...in only these bloomers?
-As if she even noticed .
00:37:04.474 --> 00:37:07.894
-Dear Amy.
-How could I have been so horrible?
00:37:08.102 --> 00:37:09.228
Thank God for Laurie.
00:37:10.313 --> 00:37:12.940
Jo, do you Iove Laurie
more than you love me?
00:37:13.149 --> 00:37:14.734
Oh , don't be such a beetle.
00:37:14.942 --> 00:37:17.403
I could never love anyone
as I love my sisters.
00:37:17.612 --> 00:37:19.781
I'm not a beetle.
00:37:19.989 --> 00:37:22.325
Oh , look out.
You're leaving out the best part.
00:37:22.533 --> 00:37:25.453
When Lady Zara succumbs
to the duke's rival .
00:37:25.661 --> 00:37:27.121
Oh , right, yes.
00:37:27.330 --> 00:37:29.457
Sir Hugo.
00:37:29.832 --> 00:37:32.418
I quite prefer him, myself.
00:37:38.925 --> 00:37:41.427
In the spring, we turned
Orchard House upside down...
00:37:41.636 --> 00:37:45.765
...with preparations for Meg
to attend Sally Moffat's coming out.
00:37:45.973 --> 00:37:50.269
Myself, I'd sooner have been hung
by the neck than attend a fancy ball.
00:37:50.478 --> 00:37:53.272
Wait till all of Boston
sees you in this dress, Meg .
00:37:53.481 --> 00:37:55.316
I told Laurie he has to show you off...
00:37:55.483 --> 00:37:58.194
...and keep you from being a wallflower
upon penalty of death .
00:37:58.402 --> 00:38:01.280
Oh , where is that miserable glove?
00:38:01.489 --> 00:38:05.952
Abigail , I shake my head
at the way you're managing Margaret.
00:38:06.160 --> 00:38:08.788
How is she to be married
without a proper debut?
00:38:08.996 --> 00:38:10.623
Now, auntie,
in our present circumstances--
00:38:10.832 --> 00:38:14.877
Your circumstances will not change
with your husband's return .
00:38:15.086 --> 00:38:19.757
My nephew is as foolish with money
as he is in his new philosophies.
00:38:20.550 --> 00:38:25.179
The one hope for your family
is for Margaret to marry well ...
00:38:25.388 --> 00:38:28.224
...though I don't know
who marries governesses.
00:38:28.432 --> 00:38:29.725
Marmee!
00:38:29.934 --> 00:38:33.354
And this one has entirely ruined
her disposition with books.
00:38:33.563 --> 00:38:35.773
Oh , are those for me, Josephine?
00:38:35.982 --> 00:38:37.817
No. Meg's taking them to the Moffats'.
00:38:38.025 --> 00:38:40.987
Marmee, Meg's frantic. She Iost her glove
and she only has one pair.
00:38:41.195 --> 00:38:44.740
Now, she cannot go without gloves.
The Moffats are society.
00:38:44.949 --> 00:38:48.369
You're absolutely correct.
Tell Meg she may borrow mine.
00:38:49.704 --> 00:38:52.206
Meg , you can take Marmee's!
00:38:52.415 --> 00:38:54.083
Oh , dear.
00:38:56.752 --> 00:38:59.463
-More tea?
-No, thank you .
00:39:14.812 --> 00:39:19.150
Sally Moffat, you won't be able
to draw your Iaces.
00:39:19.358 --> 00:39:22.403
At my coming out party,
I didn't eat for weeks beforehand .
00:39:28.451 --> 00:39:31.120
Oh , Meg , I do like that color on you .
00:39:31.329 --> 00:39:33.706
It's just Iike forget-me-nots.
00:39:33.915 --> 00:39:37.084
The nicest I've seen that kind of fabric
since the war broke out.
00:39:37.293 --> 00:39:40.212
But you had it made up so plain .
00:39:40.546 --> 00:39:43.716
Well , I do my own sewing , and--
00:39:43.925 --> 00:39:47.219
Mrs. Finster's on Charles Street
carries silk pieces ready-made.
00:39:47.428 --> 00:39:50.890
-Tomorrow I'Il take you there.
-Marches haven't bought silk in years.
00:39:51.098 --> 00:39:53.559
They have views on slavery.
00:39:53.768 --> 00:39:56.062
Meg , isn't it true
that your father's school had to close...
00:39:56.270 --> 00:39:58.272
...when he admitted a Iittle dark girl?
00:39:59.690 --> 00:40:01.651
The silk of Mrs. Finster's
isn't milled in the South .
00:40:01.859 --> 00:40:05.738
-It's made right here, over in Linfield .
-This isn't China silk?
00:40:05.947 --> 00:40:09.909
They use Iittle children for Iabor.
AII the silk mills do.
00:40:11.410 --> 00:40:14.038
The poor are always with us.
00:40:14.246 --> 00:40:16.123
You are so good to remind us.
00:40:21.629 --> 00:40:23.881
May I tell you something?
00:40:24.548 --> 00:40:27.051
This is an afternoon dress.
00:40:27.551 --> 00:40:29.428
I'm going to make you my pet.
00:40:29.637 --> 00:40:31.722
Hortense?
00:40:34.892 --> 00:40:39.313
Tonight, Miss March shall
have as many conquests as she likes.
00:40:40.523 --> 00:40:42.942
You have no corset.
00:40:54.704 --> 00:40:56.163
Come on .
00:41:07.258 --> 00:41:08.426
-No, thank you .
-Yes, it's charming .
00:41:08.634 --> 00:41:12.013
-Not for me, thank you .
-I believe the next dance is the polka.
00:41:12.221 --> 00:41:15.725
-With me.
-I would dance with you , Mr. Parker...
00:41:15.933 --> 00:41:17.768
...but I fear for my new slippers.
00:41:17.977 --> 00:41:21.480
My credo is, "Don't tread on me."
00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:27.737
Miss March . I thought your family
were temperance people.
00:41:27.945 --> 00:41:29.739
Laurie.
00:41:31.323 --> 00:41:34.577
-Oh , no.
-No, no, don't cover up.
00:41:34.785 --> 00:41:38.330
There may be one or two gentlemen here
who haven't seen all of your charms.
00:41:38.539 --> 00:41:41.667
And I did promise Jo
I would show you off.
00:41:41.876 --> 00:41:44.211
The girls dressed me up,
and I rather Iike it.
00:41:44.420 --> 00:41:48.340
Yes, well , it reveals a whole new Meg .
00:41:49.300 --> 00:41:51.177
What do you call this?
00:42:07.818 --> 00:42:09.278
Meg .
00:42:11.572 --> 00:42:13.365
I'm sorry.
00:42:14.700 --> 00:42:17.703
PIease don't tell Jo how I've behaved .
00:42:17.912 --> 00:42:19.747
Of course not.
00:42:20.247 --> 00:42:23.417
If you won't tell anyone
how I've behaved .
00:42:23.626 --> 00:42:26.003
I was only playing a part...
00:42:26.212 --> 00:42:29.507
...to see how it felt
to be Belle Gardiner...
00:42:29.715 --> 00:42:32.635
...with four proposals
and 20 pairs of gloves.
00:42:32.843 --> 00:42:34.178
You're worth 1 0 of those other girls.
00:42:34.386 --> 00:42:37.723
Did you see the way this March girl
has gone after the Laurence heir?
00:42:37.932 --> 00:42:41.143
Best thing that could happen
to the Marches.
00:42:47.191 --> 00:42:48.400
This ridiculous dress.
00:42:48.609 --> 00:42:51.654
I've been tripping over it all night.
00:42:51.862 --> 00:42:56.242
Tie something around your neck
where it could do you some good .
00:42:58.077 --> 00:43:01.038
I don't like people speculating
about Laurie and our Meg ...
00:43:01.247 --> 00:43:04.250
...as if they were characters
in some play.
00:43:04.458 --> 00:43:06.335
And nothing provokes
speculation more...
00:43:06.544 --> 00:43:09.672
...than the sight of a woman
enjoying herself.
00:43:09.964 --> 00:43:13.217
Why is it Laurie may do as he Iikes,
and flirt and tipple champagne--?
00:43:13.425 --> 00:43:15.928
And no one thinks the less of him?
00:43:16.137 --> 00:43:18.514
Well , I suppose
for one practical reason :
00:43:18.722 --> 00:43:21.684
Laurie is a man , and as such ...
00:43:21.892 --> 00:43:25.855
...he may vote, and hold property
and pursue any profession he pleases.
00:43:26.063 --> 00:43:29.692
And so he is not so easily demeaned .
00:43:29.900 --> 00:43:32.820
Why should anyone care
what they think?
00:43:33.404 --> 00:43:35.114
I do.
00:43:35.531 --> 00:43:38.742
It's nice to be praised and admired .
I couldn't help but like it.
00:43:38.951 --> 00:43:41.245
Of course not.
00:43:41.453 --> 00:43:44.373
I only care what you think of yourself.
00:43:44.582 --> 00:43:47.918
If you feel your value Iies
in being merely decorative...
00:43:48.127 --> 00:43:49.962
...I fear that someday
you might find yourself...
00:43:50.171 --> 00:43:52.548
...believing that's all that you really are.
00:43:53.299 --> 00:43:57.720
Time erodes all such beauty.
But what it cannot diminish ...
00:43:57.928 --> 00:44:00.598
...is the wonderful workings
of your mind .
00:44:00.806 --> 00:44:03.767
Your humor, your kindness...
00:44:03.976 --> 00:44:05.603
...and your moral courage.
00:44:05.811 --> 00:44:08.814
These are the things
I cherish so in you .
00:44:09.648 --> 00:44:13.485
I so wish I could give my girls
a more just world .
00:44:13.694 --> 00:44:16.155
I know you'll make it a better place.
00:44:26.749 --> 00:44:31.462
Resounded .
Resounded with song of the nightingale.
00:44:31.670 --> 00:44:33.297
With a gush--
00:44:34.298 --> 00:44:35.925
With a gush--
00:44:37.551 --> 00:44:38.802
No.
00:44:52.191 --> 00:44:54.068
No, I don't want them now.
00:44:54.276 --> 00:44:56.362
And keep the music.
I won't be going near a piano for ages.
00:44:56.570 --> 00:45:00.407
You need your books in college.
Here's your Dombey and Sons.
00:45:00.616 --> 00:45:02.326
I could've sworn
there was another volume.
00:45:02.534 --> 00:45:06.997
Honestly, Jo. I won't be taking
all of Dickens to Harvard with me.
00:45:07.206 --> 00:45:11.168
Oh , no. You'II have
much more important things to read .
00:45:13.837 --> 00:45:16.423
Nothing's going to change, Jo.
00:45:16.882 --> 00:45:19.009
I wish I could go.
00:45:20.219 --> 00:45:22.054
I wish you could too.
00:45:23.138 --> 00:45:25.683
You'Il come back knowing
all sorts of things I don't know...
00:45:25.891 --> 00:45:28.185
...and then I'II hate you .
00:45:31.021 --> 00:45:33.482
Well , as it happens...
00:45:33.691 --> 00:45:36.860
...I already know something
you don't know.
00:45:37.236 --> 00:45:41.907
About Meg
and a certain former tutor of mine...
00:45:42.116 --> 00:45:45.244
...soon to be employed at the firm
of Laurence and Laurence.
00:45:45.452 --> 00:45:46.578
Liar.
00:45:47.371 --> 00:45:51.208
Has Meg mislaid a certain
personal article...
00:45:51.417 --> 00:45:55.671
...such as a glove?
00:45:59.425 --> 00:46:02.594
Meg , John Brooke stole your glove.
00:46:02.803 --> 00:46:04.930
What glove? Not my white one?
00:46:05.139 --> 00:46:08.434
Brooke's had it forever.
Laurie says he keeps it in his pocket.
00:46:08.642 --> 00:46:12.104
You must tell him to return it. Hannah ,
don't you think he ought to give it back?
00:46:12.313 --> 00:46:14.690
It isn't what I think that matters.
00:46:14.898 --> 00:46:17.318
Jo? Meg?
00:46:19.528 --> 00:46:21.363
It's a telegram ...
00:46:21.572 --> 00:46:23.907
...from Washington Hospital .
00:46:24.116 --> 00:46:26.452
Your father's been wounded .
00:46:33.250 --> 00:46:34.752
-Come on , Amy. That's it.
-There are six.
00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:36.378
The household account
is in this ledger.
00:46:36.587 --> 00:46:38.464
It should see you through
to the end of the month .
00:46:38.672 --> 00:46:40.549
-Of course. Don't worry about us.
-Oh , Beth?
00:46:40.758 --> 00:46:42.384
Dear, look in on the Hummels for me,
will you?
00:46:42.593 --> 00:46:44.011
I will , Marmee.
00:46:44.219 --> 00:46:46.180
Where's Jo? It's almost 6.
00:46:46.388 --> 00:46:49.016
Doing battle with Aunt March
for Marmee's railway ticket.
00:46:49.183 --> 00:46:52.227
Amy, would you carry a letter
to Mrs. Juba at the Hope House.
00:46:52.436 --> 00:46:54.605
John . Mr. Brooke.
00:46:54.813 --> 00:46:58.108
I've come to offer myself
as an escort to your mother.
00:46:58.317 --> 00:47:01.153
Cook packed this up, and grandfather
sends a bottle of spirits for Mr. March .
00:47:01.362 --> 00:47:04.573
-Oh , that's Iovely, Laurie. Thank you .
-Marmee.
00:47:05.282 --> 00:47:06.450
-Mr. Brooke is here.
-Mrs. March .
00:47:06.658 --> 00:47:07.701
Mr. Brooke.
00:47:07.910 --> 00:47:09.620
As young Laurence no longer requires
a tutor...
00:47:09.828 --> 00:47:12.122
...Mr. Laurence has commissions
for me in Washington .
00:47:12.331 --> 00:47:14.416
I should Iike to be of service
to you there.
00:47:14.625 --> 00:47:17.795
-We couldn't let you travel alone.
-Oh , Mr. Brooke, how kind of you .
00:47:18.003 --> 00:47:20.422
-May I? Are we to go on the 6:00 train?
-Thank you .
00:47:20.631 --> 00:47:23.258
-Yes, I sent Jo off, but she hasn't re--
-I'm here!
00:47:23.467 --> 00:47:25.511
Jo. Finally.
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:28.347
Twenty-five.
Can Aunt March spare this?
00:47:28.555 --> 00:47:31.517
I couldn't bear to ask her.
00:47:31.725 --> 00:47:35.604
-I sold my hair.
-Jo, how could you?
00:47:35.813 --> 00:47:39.691
-Your one beauty.
-It won't affect the state of the union .
00:47:39.900 --> 00:47:42.444
-It'II grow back.
-It suits you .
00:47:42.653 --> 00:47:44.279
Tell father that we Iove him.
00:47:45.989 --> 00:47:48.283
-Tell him we pray for him .
-Bring him home.
00:47:48.492 --> 00:47:51.745
-I'Il never forget his kindness.
-Oh , Hannah , thank you .
00:47:56.834 --> 00:47:59.962
Oh , I shall miss my Iittle women .
00:48:22.651 --> 00:48:25.529
Are you thinking about father?
00:48:26.905 --> 00:48:29.366
No. My hair.
00:48:44.131 --> 00:48:48.218
-Harder.
-Yeah , I hit him on the noggin .
00:48:52.222 --> 00:48:54.266
Wait for me!
00:48:56.393 --> 00:48:58.854
BIast! Oh, dear.
00:48:59.062 --> 00:49:00.814
-This stove.
-We'll eat them anyway.
00:49:01.023 --> 00:49:02.691
There's no more cornmeal nor coffee.
00:49:02.858 --> 00:49:05.694
The grocer won't Iet us have any more
on account.
00:49:06.445 --> 00:49:09.114
-What can I bring the H ummels?
-Oh , fry the H ummels.
00:49:09.281 --> 00:49:11.700
-You spent hours there last week.
-The boys are sick.
00:49:11.909 --> 00:49:14.036
I mustn't write of this to Marmee.
00:49:14.244 --> 00:49:18.165
-She has enough burdens now.
-I hate money.
00:49:21.460 --> 00:49:23.712
Your potatoes!
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:27.132
Come on ! Here!
00:49:27.341 --> 00:49:29.676
Air the beds.
And be careful cleaning .
00:49:29.885 --> 00:49:34.389
-And don't forget your studies, Amy.
-I won't. I will . Go!
00:49:50.614 --> 00:49:53.367
-Beth .
-Christine.
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:03.210
I don't understand .
I brought you a potato.
00:50:38.453 --> 00:50:41.290
Laurie's home for the weekend !
I n need of funds, no doubt.
00:50:41.498 --> 00:50:45.210
We'd have a week's groceries
with what he spends on billiards.
00:50:46.837 --> 00:50:49.506
Oh , Jehoshaphat.
00:50:55.220 --> 00:50:57.556
Meg ! Meg , you won't believe it!
00:50:57.764 --> 00:50:59.474
I've sold
The Lost Duke of Gloucesterl
00:50:59.641 --> 00:51:00.892
Five whole dollars!
00:51:01.101 --> 00:51:02.894
I'm an author!
00:51:03.103 --> 00:51:04.646
Beth?
00:51:05.314 --> 00:51:07.441
The H ummel baby is sick.
00:51:10.736 --> 00:51:13.697
I feel so strange.
00:51:17.409 --> 00:51:20.329
She's burning up,
but she says that she's freezing .
00:51:20.537 --> 00:51:22.372
She has a terrible thirst,
but she won't drink.
00:51:22.581 --> 00:51:25.667
Sounds Iike Arsenicum,
but she Iooks more Iike belladonna.
00:51:25.876 --> 00:51:27.753
I saw the Hummels.
00:51:27.961 --> 00:51:30.922
Two children taken up to Jesus.
Scarlet fever.
00:51:31.131 --> 00:51:32.841
You and Miss Jo won't be harmed .
00:51:33.050 --> 00:51:34.635
You had it when you were babies.
00:51:34.843 --> 00:51:38.847
But, Miss Amy,
we have to send you away.
00:51:46.772 --> 00:51:48.815
She won't die.
00:51:49.483 --> 00:51:53.862
Will she, Laurie?
God wouldn't Iet her die.
00:51:55.530 --> 00:51:58.367
I don't wanna go away.
00:51:58.867 --> 00:52:01.119
I'Il come and see you every day.
00:52:01.328 --> 00:52:04.373
I swear it. You won't be alone.
00:52:10.045 --> 00:52:12.172
I'm afraid of Aunt March .
00:52:14.925 --> 00:52:16.510
If she's unkind to you ...
00:52:16.718 --> 00:52:21.431
-...I'Il come and take you away.
-Where will we go?
00:52:22.933 --> 00:52:24.685
Paris?
00:52:28.563 --> 00:52:31.358
If I get scarlet fever and die...
00:52:31.566 --> 00:52:34.486
...give Meg my box
with the green doves on it.
00:52:34.695 --> 00:52:38.573
-And Jo must have my turquoise ring .
-I'Il see to that.
00:52:39.700 --> 00:52:41.910
I don't wanna die.
00:52:43.036 --> 00:52:46.081
I've never even been kissed .
00:52:46.289 --> 00:52:49.000
I've waited my whole Iife
to be kissed .
00:52:49.209 --> 00:52:51.420
And what if I miss it?
00:52:51.628 --> 00:52:53.839
I tell you what.
00:52:54.381 --> 00:52:58.176
I promise to kiss you before you die.
00:53:20.532 --> 00:53:22.868
I don't know.
I don't think Marmee should leave Father.
00:53:23.076 --> 00:53:25.036
Beth needs Marmee.
She depends on her.
00:53:25.245 --> 00:53:27.664
But what if we send for her
and Father gets worse?
00:53:27.873 --> 00:53:31.668
How in the name of all that's holy
would we pay for the train?
00:53:33.211 --> 00:53:36.673
"That he profane not
my sancteraries--"
00:53:36.882 --> 00:53:40.343
-Sanctuary.
-"Sanctuaries.
00:53:40.552 --> 00:53:44.473
For I , the Lord ,
do sanctify them .
00:53:44.681 --> 00:53:48.727
And Moses told it
unto Aaron and to his sons...
00:53:48.935 --> 00:53:52.439
...and unto all the children of Israel ."
00:53:55.567 --> 00:53:57.319
Go on .
00:54:00.697 --> 00:54:03.408
"And the Lord spake
unto Moses saying--"
00:54:08.538 --> 00:54:11.416
Jo, Mr. Laurence is here.
00:54:16.505 --> 00:54:20.383
If we may, I wish my personal physician ,
Dr. Bangs...
00:54:20.592 --> 00:54:22.928
...to examine the Iittle girl .
00:54:38.610 --> 00:54:40.153
There's nothing to be done.
00:54:40.362 --> 00:54:44.366
If I bleed her, it would finish her.
00:54:44.574 --> 00:54:47.702
-Best to send for the mother.
-Forgive me.
00:54:47.911 --> 00:54:51.873
I've already done so.
Mrs. March arrives on the train this night.
00:54:54.876 --> 00:54:56.711
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
00:54:56.920 --> 00:54:58.713
BIessed art thou
amongst women and bless--
00:55:03.009 --> 00:55:04.511
Jo!
00:55:08.723 --> 00:55:12.894
Cricket. Marmee's here.
00:55:17.566 --> 00:55:19.776
Icy cold . Jo.
00:55:20.861 --> 00:55:23.947
Jo, fetch a basin
with vinegar water and some rags.
00:55:24.155 --> 00:55:26.449
Meg , my kit.
00:55:26.658 --> 00:55:29.619
Must draw the fever down
from her head .
00:55:29.828 --> 00:55:31.913
It's all right.
00:55:32.122 --> 00:55:33.957
It's all right.
00:55:34.249 --> 00:55:37.919
It's all right now. That's my love.
00:56:10.118 --> 00:56:11.661
Beth .
00:56:42.233 --> 00:56:44.694
And so our dear Beth
came back to us...
00:56:44.903 --> 00:56:48.281
...although the fever
had weakened her heart forever.
00:56:48.490 --> 00:56:52.118
We did not know then
that a shadow had fallen.
00:56:52.577 --> 00:56:55.664
We prepared for another
Christmas without Father.
00:56:56.498 --> 00:56:58.291
Try each corner. Thank you .
00:56:58.500 --> 00:57:01.252
No, no! One bow is enough !
00:57:01.461 --> 00:57:04.089
Mr. Laurence. Thank you .
00:57:07.300 --> 00:57:10.095
-Oh , I'm so sorry.
-It happens all the time.
00:57:10.303 --> 00:57:11.846
How's this?
00:57:13.181 --> 00:57:14.808
-Here she comes.
-Come on . Come on .
00:57:14.975 --> 00:57:16.351
What should I do with these bows?
00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:18.687
Now, don't scare her to death .
She's been sick, you know.
00:57:18.895 --> 00:57:21.982
H ide the chairs. Just hide them , Amy.
00:57:23.233 --> 00:57:25.068
Quick.
00:57:30.949 --> 00:57:33.535
The house is beautiful .
00:57:47.215 --> 00:57:48.633
They're friends of mine from college.
00:57:48.842 --> 00:57:51.594
Freddy Vaughan and Averill Watson .
00:57:51.803 --> 00:57:53.847
They won't bite.
00:58:00.270 --> 00:58:01.604
No, don't sit there! Sit--
00:58:01.813 --> 00:58:05.525
Here. Sit here, child .
00:58:05.734 --> 00:58:07.902
-Merry Christmas!
-Merry Christmas, Beth !
00:58:08.111 --> 00:58:11.072
Merry Christmas, Beth !
00:58:16.494 --> 00:58:19.873
I should've given it to you Iong ago.
00:58:21.082 --> 00:58:25.336
It belonged to my little girl
who had to leave us...
00:58:25.545 --> 00:58:27.672
...when she was very young .
00:58:27.881 --> 00:58:31.092
But now it will make music again .
00:58:41.728 --> 00:58:43.563
Thank you , Mr. Laurence.
00:58:45.482 --> 00:58:48.902
-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.
00:58:49.110 --> 00:58:50.737
PIay something , Beth .
00:58:50.945 --> 00:58:52.739
Shall I?
00:59:49.087 --> 00:59:51.464
That was good .
00:59:52.465 --> 00:59:55.009
I fear you would have
a Iong engagement.
00:59:55.218 --> 00:59:58.721
Three or four years. John must secure
a house before you can marry.
00:59:58.930 --> 01:00:02.851
-And he must do his service to the union .
-John? Marry?
01:00:03.059 --> 01:00:05.311
You mean that pokey old Mr. Brooke?
01:00:05.520 --> 01:00:07.480
How did he weasel his way
into this family?
01:00:07.689 --> 01:00:09.065
Jo.
01:00:09.274 --> 01:00:11.943
John has been very kind to go
visit Father in the hospital every day.
01:00:12.152 --> 01:00:15.822
He's dull as powder. Meg , can't you
at Ieast marry someone amusing?
01:00:16.030 --> 01:00:19.159
I'm fond of Mr. Brooke.
He's a good man . He's kind and serious.
01:00:19.367 --> 01:00:21.661
And I'm not afraid of being poor.
01:00:21.870 --> 01:00:24.289
Marmee, you can't just
Iet her go and marry him.
01:00:24.497 --> 01:00:26.291
I'd hardly just go and marry anyone.
01:00:26.499 --> 01:00:28.793
I would rather Meg marry for Iove
and be a poor man's wife...
01:00:29.002 --> 01:00:31.588
...than marry for riches
and Iose her self-respect.
01:00:33.298 --> 01:00:35.592
So you don't mind that John is poor?
01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:38.887
No, but I would rather
he have a house.
01:00:39.554 --> 01:00:41.806
Why must we marry at all?
01:00:42.015 --> 01:00:43.933
Why can't things just stay as they are?
01:00:44.142 --> 01:00:47.395
It is only a proposal .
Nothing need be decided . Now, girls.
01:00:47.604 --> 01:00:49.606
Let's not spoil the day.
01:01:01.326 --> 01:01:02.827
Father? Father!
01:01:03.036 --> 01:01:06.080
-Merry Christmas, everyone!
-What a wonderful Christmas present!
01:01:06.289 --> 01:01:10.251
Father! Oh , Father, you're home!
01:01:11.836 --> 01:01:13.379
Meg .
01:01:13.588 --> 01:01:17.634
-Oh , you're more handsome than ever.
-Beth , my little cricket.
01:01:17.842 --> 01:01:19.886
-Thank God you're well .
-CIear the way.
01:01:20.094 --> 01:01:22.847
-Give the man room to breathe.
-Jo!
01:01:23.056 --> 01:01:25.391
Oh , my wild girl !
01:01:26.267 --> 01:01:28.895
Well , this could become the fashion .
01:01:30.230 --> 01:01:31.731
-Watch his arm.
-I'm not used to this.
01:01:31.940 --> 01:01:33.107
-Be careful .
-Be very careful now.
01:01:33.316 --> 01:01:36.653
-Don't coddle this soldier too much .
-Oh , now, Father, it's time to coddle.
01:01:36.861 --> 01:01:40.990
-Oh , Father!
-Hannah , God bless you .
01:01:41.199 --> 01:01:44.702
-It's good to see you .
-It's good to have you home, Mr. March .
01:01:44.911 --> 01:01:49.040
-Now, let me look at my girls.
-Take them and give them--
01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:03.388
The cholera took more men
than the rebs, as I understand it, sir.
01:02:03.596 --> 01:02:06.891
Agriculture isn't taught, and it should be.
It should be required .
01:02:07.100 --> 01:02:09.352
Perhaps the freedmen should
be given Iand in the west.
01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:11.020
What happened
between you and John Brooke?
01:02:11.187 --> 01:02:13.231
Never you mind .
01:02:16.567 --> 01:02:21.030
-Isn't it wonderful , Jo?
-Yes, it's wonderful .
01:02:37.755 --> 01:02:39.132
Welcome home, soldier.
01:02:39.340 --> 01:02:41.509
Would you Iike some water, sir?
01:03:14.500 --> 01:03:15.543
Change will come...
01:03:15.752 --> 01:03:18.838
...as surely as the seasons
and twice as quick.
01:03:19.047 --> 01:03:21.591
We make our peace with it
as best we can.
01:03:21.799 --> 01:03:25.261
Or as Amy once said
when she was still a little girl:
01:03:25.470 --> 01:03:29.057
"We'll all grow up someday.
We might as well know what we want."
01:03:55.041 --> 01:03:57.085
So you feel our Amy has talent?
01:03:57.293 --> 01:04:01.381
Oh , Miss March excels at drawing .
01:04:01.589 --> 01:04:05.468
But, you know,
her landscapes Iack emotion .
01:04:06.344 --> 01:04:10.306
I definitely feel Amy would benefit
from further study.
01:04:10.515 --> 01:04:12.392
But she won't get it around here.
01:04:12.600 --> 01:04:15.978
-Where do you suggest?
-Cape Cod has a fine artist colony.
01:04:16.187 --> 01:04:18.689
But Europe, Europe is the best place.
01:04:26.531 --> 01:04:29.659
Teddy! Teddy!
01:04:29.867 --> 01:04:32.286
Your houseman said
you wouldn't be home till night.
01:04:32.495 --> 01:04:33.621
I couldn't wait so Iong .
01:04:33.788 --> 01:04:35.915
Hail the conquering graduate.
01:04:36.124 --> 01:04:38.960
-Is grandfather exceedingly proud?
-Yes.
01:04:39.168 --> 01:04:41.963
And exceedingly bent
on locking me up in one of his offices.
01:04:42.171 --> 01:04:45.633
Why is it Amy may paint China
and you can scribble away...
01:04:45.842 --> 01:04:49.345
...while I must manfully
set my music aside?
01:04:49.554 --> 01:04:51.597
Why must you?
01:04:52.265 --> 01:04:56.144
If I don't, I'd have to defy grandfather.
01:04:56.352 --> 01:04:59.647
Yes, and not the whole of society.
01:05:01.482 --> 01:05:04.068
I can't go against the old man .
01:05:07.071 --> 01:05:11.742
When I imagine myself in that Iife...
01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:15.621
...I can think of only one thing ...
01:05:15.830 --> 01:05:17.999
...that would make me happy.
01:05:20.334 --> 01:05:25.465
Oh , no. Teddy-- Teddy, don't.
01:05:32.221 --> 01:05:34.015
No, wait, Teddy.
01:05:34.223 --> 01:05:36.225
We have to talk about this reasonably.
01:05:36.434 --> 01:05:39.061
I have Ioved you ...
01:05:39.270 --> 01:05:42.273
...since the moment
I clamped eyes on you .
01:05:42.482 --> 01:05:44.817
What could be more reasonable
than to marry you?
01:05:45.735 --> 01:05:47.820
-We'd kill each other.
-Nonsense!
01:05:48.029 --> 01:05:51.449
-Neither of us can keep our temper.
-I can . Unless provoked .
01:05:51.657 --> 01:05:54.744
We're both stupidly stubborn ,
especially you . We'd only quarrel .
01:05:54.952 --> 01:05:56.662
I wouldn't!
01:05:56.871 --> 01:06:00.416
You can't even propose
without quarreling .
01:06:01.167 --> 01:06:02.627
Jo.
01:06:04.086 --> 01:06:08.633
Dear Jo. I swear I'II be a saint.
01:06:08.841 --> 01:06:12.261
I'Il let you win every argument.
01:06:13.346 --> 01:06:17.225
I'Il take care of you and your family.
01:06:17.433 --> 01:06:19.560
I'Il give you every Iuxury
you've ever been denied .
01:06:19.769 --> 01:06:22.980
You won't have to write.
U nless you want to.
01:06:23.189 --> 01:06:25.858
Grandfather...
01:06:26.067 --> 01:06:29.362
...wants me to learn the business
in England .
01:06:29.570 --> 01:06:31.989
Can't you see us
bashing around London?
01:06:32.198 --> 01:06:33.741
London .
01:06:33.950 --> 01:06:37.328
Oh , Teddy, I'm not fashionable enough
for London .
01:06:37.537 --> 01:06:40.498
You need someone
who's elegant and refined .
01:06:40.706 --> 01:06:43.501
I want you .
01:06:47.046 --> 01:06:50.258
Teddy, please don't ask me.
01:06:57.056 --> 01:06:59.225
-Teddy, I'm desperately sorry.
-No, don't.
01:06:59.433 --> 01:07:01.644
-I do care for you .
-No.
01:07:01.852 --> 01:07:04.230
With all of my heart.
You're my dearest friend .
01:07:06.482 --> 01:07:09.026
I just can't go be a wife.
01:07:09.735 --> 01:07:14.574
You say you won't, but you will .
01:07:15.491 --> 01:07:18.869
-I won't. I won't.
-One day...
01:07:21.163 --> 01:07:23.249
...you'll meet some man .
01:07:23.457 --> 01:07:25.167
A good man .
01:07:25.376 --> 01:07:28.629
And you will Iove him tremendously.
01:07:30.339 --> 01:07:34.093
And you will Iive and die for him.
01:07:34.302 --> 01:07:37.263
-Teddy, please.
-You will .
01:07:38.139 --> 01:07:39.765
Jo.
01:07:42.268 --> 01:07:44.103
I know you .
01:07:49.900 --> 01:07:52.028
And I'II be hanged ...
01:07:52.236 --> 01:07:55.072
...if I stand by and watch .
01:08:15.176 --> 01:08:17.762
Jo, are you ill?
01:08:17.970 --> 01:08:20.264
She has refused Laurie.
01:08:21.599 --> 01:08:25.186
Well , I'm sure she can take it back.
It's just a misunderstanding .
01:08:25.394 --> 01:08:27.521
No.
01:08:27.730 --> 01:08:29.523
No.
01:08:32.360 --> 01:08:34.779
Oh , listen to him.
01:08:36.489 --> 01:08:38.407
I must get away.
01:08:38.616 --> 01:08:40.993
Of course.
01:08:43.746 --> 01:08:45.539
Aunt March is going to France.
01:08:46.624 --> 01:08:47.875
France!
01:08:48.084 --> 01:08:50.920
That's ideal !
I'Il put up with anything to go!
01:08:51.128 --> 01:08:52.755
Jo, Aunt March has asked me to go.
01:08:53.881 --> 01:08:55.883
To Europe?
01:08:57.551 --> 01:08:59.553
My Europe?
01:09:03.391 --> 01:09:04.475
When?
01:09:05.309 --> 01:09:07.645
It was decided just today.
01:09:14.443 --> 01:09:18.531
Well , I am her companion now.
01:09:19.740 --> 01:09:22.410
She wishes me
to study painting abroad ...
01:09:22.618 --> 01:09:25.204
...and hopes I might make
a good match there.
01:09:28.833 --> 01:09:33.629
But perhaps she wouldn't mind
if you stayed at Plumfield ...
01:09:35.423 --> 01:09:37.216
...while we are gone.
01:09:42.763 --> 01:09:45.933
Of course Aunt March prefers
Amy over me. Why shouldn't she?
01:09:46.142 --> 01:09:49.895
I'm ugly and awkward ,
and I always say the wrong things.
01:09:50.104 --> 01:09:54.358
I fly around throwing away
perfectly good marriage proposals.
01:09:54.567 --> 01:09:59.864
I love our home, but I'm just so fitful ,
and I can't stand being here.
01:10:01.115 --> 01:10:05.828
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Marmee.
01:10:06.036 --> 01:10:08.539
There's just something
really wrong with me.
01:10:08.748 --> 01:10:11.709
I want to change, but I . . . . I can't.
01:10:11.917 --> 01:10:17.506
-And I just know I'II never fit in anywhere.
-Oh , Jo.
01:10:17.715 --> 01:10:21.177
Jo, you have so many
extraordinary gifts.
01:10:21.385 --> 01:10:25.765
How can you expect
to Iead an ordinary Iife?
01:10:25.973 --> 01:10:30.811
You're ready to go out
and find a good use for your talent.
01:10:32.480 --> 01:10:36.317
AIthough , I don't know what I shall do
without my Jo.
01:10:38.360 --> 01:10:43.115
Go and embrace your liberty.
01:10:43.324 --> 01:10:46.660
And see what wonderful things
come of it.
01:11:13.813 --> 01:11:17.316
Laurie sought his refuge
in London and abroad.
01:11:17.525 --> 01:11:21.195
Marmee helped me find a place
in the great city of New York.
01:11:21.403 --> 01:11:25.908
So l stepped over the divide between
childhood and all that lay beyond.
01:11:28.410 --> 01:11:29.662
Mrs. Kirk?
01:11:30.538 --> 01:11:32.790
Josephine.
01:11:32.998 --> 01:11:34.500
Yes. How do you do?
01:11:34.708 --> 01:11:38.128
Kitty, Minnie! This is Miss March .
01:11:38.337 --> 01:11:41.882
Her father was Colonel March .
He knew your papa.
01:11:42.091 --> 01:11:44.718
-It was cold !
-Watch your feet, Mr. Costigan .
01:11:44.927 --> 01:11:47.972
-You never get it straight.
-Do come in , my dear.
01:11:51.642 --> 01:11:52.810
Dear Beth.
01:11:53.018 --> 01:11:56.772
Marmee's friend, Mrs. Kirk,
has made me feel quite at home.
01:11:56.981 --> 01:12:01.068
My little students,
Kitty and Minnie, are dear girls.
01:12:05.447 --> 01:12:08.701
How curious to grow up
in a busy boardinghouse with no father...
01:12:08.909 --> 01:12:11.829
...and your own mother the innkeeper.
01:12:12.913 --> 01:12:15.040
L felt bold on leaving Concord.
01:12:15.249 --> 01:12:18.252
But I confess I find New York
rough and strange...
01:12:18.460 --> 01:12:20.796
...and myself strange in it.
01:12:21.797 --> 01:12:23.632
Can you pass these down the table?
01:12:23.841 --> 01:12:26.176
Thank you kindly, professor.
01:12:31.849 --> 01:12:34.602
Mrs. Kirk believes that l am here
for a brief interlude...
01:12:34.810 --> 01:12:39.023
...of sensational experience
before succumbing to a matrimonial fate.
01:12:39.231 --> 01:12:40.274
Excuse me, miss.
01:12:40.482 --> 01:12:42.693
And while there 's surely no lack
of sensational experience...
01:12:42.902 --> 01:12:44.987
...of every kind
available in such a city...
01:12:45.195 --> 01:12:46.238
Come in !
01:12:46.447 --> 01:12:48.365
...l hope, though l've had
no luck yet...
01:12:48.574 --> 01:12:51.493
...that any experience l gain here
will be strictly literary.
01:12:53.120 --> 01:12:55.873
And that all events
of a romantic or sensational nature...
01:12:56.081 --> 01:12:58.709
...will be entirely confined to the page.
01:12:58.918 --> 01:13:02.796
Our subscribers are not interested
in sentiment and fairy stories, miss.
01:13:04.715 --> 01:13:06.759
They're not fairy stories.
01:13:06.967 --> 01:13:09.470
Try one of the Iadies' magazines.
01:13:27.655 --> 01:13:30.741
-Come on , Will . Hurry up!
-I'm coming !
01:13:36.914 --> 01:13:41.085
-I'm so sorry. I'm so clumsy.
-Oh , no. No.
01:13:47.424 --> 01:13:52.388
You know that when first I saw you ,
I thought:
01:13:52.596 --> 01:13:55.808
"She is a writer."
01:13:56.016 --> 01:13:58.143
What made you think so?
01:14:05.693 --> 01:14:08.779
Yes, I know many writers.
01:14:08.988 --> 01:14:11.240
I n Berlin I was--
01:14:11.448 --> 01:14:14.576
I was professor at the university.
01:14:15.035 --> 01:14:20.332
Here, I am just a humble tutor,
I'm afraid .
01:14:21.625 --> 01:14:23.919
No, please. Sit down .
01:14:25.587 --> 01:14:27.131
Thank you .
01:14:40.019 --> 01:14:42.062
You are far from home, M iss March?
01:14:43.063 --> 01:14:44.398
Do you miss your family?
01:14:44.606 --> 01:14:46.400
Oh , very much .
01:14:46.608 --> 01:14:50.279
My sisters especially. And Laurie.
01:14:50.487 --> 01:14:52.614
She is your sister?
01:14:54.992 --> 01:14:57.995
No, no. He's a friend .
01:14:58.746 --> 01:15:00.289
Do you Iike your coffee?
01:15:00.497 --> 01:15:04.043
Oh , it's just very strong .
01:15:04.251 --> 01:15:06.045
I like it.
01:15:12.301 --> 01:15:14.344
You have quite a library.
01:15:15.179 --> 01:15:17.514
Did you bring all these books
from Germany?
01:15:17.723 --> 01:15:19.266
A few of them .
01:15:19.475 --> 01:15:22.394
-May I?
-Of course.
01:15:22.770 --> 01:15:27.691
Most of these I could not bear
to Ieave behind .
01:15:27.900 --> 01:15:32.404
I sold everything that I owned
to get my passage to come here...
01:15:32.613 --> 01:15:36.033
...but my books, never.
01:15:38.702 --> 01:15:40.913
Shakespeare.
01:15:41.330 --> 01:15:44.374
Some books are so familiar.
01:15:44.583 --> 01:15:48.879
Reading them is like
being home again .
01:15:51.256 --> 01:15:55.219
Will you be returning to Berlin ,
Professor Bhaer?
01:15:55.427 --> 01:15:59.098
-Friedrich . Call me Friedrich .
-Friedrich .
01:15:59.306 --> 01:16:02.893
No. Sadly...
01:16:03.102 --> 01:16:05.854
...the fatherland of
Goethe and Schiller...
01:16:06.063 --> 01:16:09.566
-...is no more.
-I adore Goethe.
01:16:09.775 --> 01:16:11.485
My father used to read me
all the German poets...
01:16:11.693 --> 01:16:15.030
-...when I was a child .
-Really? That is most surprising .
01:16:15.239 --> 01:16:18.742
Well , my mother and father
were part of...
01:16:18.951 --> 01:16:21.829
...a rather unusual circle in Concord .
01:16:22.037 --> 01:16:24.456
Do you know the word
transcendentalist?
01:16:25.415 --> 01:16:28.085
But this is German
Romantic philosophy!
01:16:28.293 --> 01:16:31.088
We throw off all our constraints
and we come to know ourselves...
01:16:31.296 --> 01:16:36.218
...through insight and experience.
But it got out of fashion now.
01:16:36.426 --> 01:16:39.429
Well , not in the March family, I'm afraid .
01:16:41.056 --> 01:16:43.517
It's just that with all
of this transcendence...
01:16:43.725 --> 01:16:48.689
...comes much emphasis
on perfecting oneself.
01:16:49.731 --> 01:16:51.108
This gives you a problem?
01:16:52.359 --> 01:16:54.361
I'm hopelessly flawed .
01:16:54.570 --> 01:16:56.822
If only we could ...
01:16:57.030 --> 01:16:59.700
...transcend ourselves
without perfection ...
01:16:59.908 --> 01:17:01.076
...Iike your poet Walt Whitman ...
01:17:01.285 --> 01:17:03.370
...who rides up and down
the streets of Broadway all day...
01:17:03.579 --> 01:17:06.456
...shouting poetry against
the roar of the carts.
01:17:06.665 --> 01:17:08.917
Keep your silent woods,
O, Nature.
01:17:09.126 --> 01:17:11.795
-And your quiet places by the river--
-And your quiet places by the woods.
01:17:12.004 --> 01:17:13.046
-By the woods.
-Woods. Yes.
01:17:13.255 --> 01:17:17.176
-Give me the streets of Manhattan.
-Give me the streets of Manhattan.
01:17:28.687 --> 01:17:32.232
I think we are all hopelessly flawed .
01:17:34.693 --> 01:17:36.695
He is as poor as one might imagine...
01:17:36.904 --> 01:17:39.323
...an itinerant philosopher to be.
01:17:39.531 --> 01:17:41.325
Yet, as the weeks go by,
l see that he is...
01:17:41.533 --> 01:17:45.329
...unfailingly generous
to all of us who live in the house.
01:17:45.537 --> 01:17:48.582
L am grateful to have a friend.
01:18:40.926 --> 01:18:42.427
It's the system
our nation was founded on .
01:18:42.636 --> 01:18:46.223
Come now! It was nothing short
of a betrayal of our country's ideals.
01:18:46.431 --> 01:18:48.433
Our country's ideals?
01:18:48.642 --> 01:18:49.977
A constitution ...
01:18:50.185 --> 01:18:54.398
...that denies the basic rights of
citizenship to women and black people?
01:18:54.606 --> 01:18:58.610
They just passed the 1 5th Amendment,
Jacob. They can vote.
01:18:58.819 --> 01:18:59.945
BIack men can vote, Charles.
01:19:00.153 --> 01:19:04.366
A Iady has no need of suffrage
if she has a husband .
01:19:04.574 --> 01:19:05.701
No, no.
01:19:05.909 --> 01:19:08.245
-You don't take wine?
-Only medicinally.
01:19:08.453 --> 01:19:10.622
-Well , pretend that you've got a cold .
-I agree.
01:19:10.831 --> 01:19:13.792
But if women are a moral force,
shouldn't they have the right...
01:19:14.001 --> 01:19:17.671
...to govern and preach ,
and testify in court?
01:19:18.297 --> 01:19:20.632
What is it, M iss March?
01:19:20.841 --> 01:19:24.386
I find it poor logic to say
that because women are good ...
01:19:24.594 --> 01:19:26.722
...women should vote.
01:19:26.972 --> 01:19:30.434
Men do not vote because they are good .
They vote because they are male.
01:19:30.642 --> 01:19:34.313
And women should vote, not because
they are angels and men are animals...
01:19:34.521 --> 01:19:38.859
...but because we are human beings
and citizens of this country.
01:19:39.860 --> 01:19:42.195
You should've been a lawyer,
Miss March .
01:19:42.404 --> 01:19:45.991
I should have been
a great many things, Mr. Mayer.
01:19:57.878 --> 01:19:59.838
Friedrich . Oh , I'm sorry.
01:20:00.047 --> 01:20:03.633
No, please. Please. Come in .
01:20:03.842 --> 01:20:05.510
I have some good news.
01:20:05.719 --> 01:20:09.931
A newspaper has published two
of my stories, and they wish to see more.
01:20:10.140 --> 01:20:12.559
-This is wonderful .
-Right there.
01:20:12.768 --> 01:20:15.187
The Daily Volcano.
01:20:15.645 --> 01:20:20.776
"The Sinner's Corpse"
by Joseph March .
01:20:23.612 --> 01:20:29.576
Lunatics. Vampires.
This. . . . This interests you?
01:20:32.621 --> 01:20:35.916
Well , people Iike thrilling stories,
Friedrich .
01:20:36.124 --> 01:20:38.377
This is what the newspapers want.
01:20:38.585 --> 01:20:41.671
Yes. Yes, I suppose.
01:20:42.005 --> 01:20:43.965
I suppose that is true.
01:20:44.174 --> 01:20:48.470
Yes. Well , it'Il buy a new coat for Beth ,
and I'm sure she'll be grateful to have it.
01:20:48.678 --> 01:20:50.097
Jo, pl--
01:21:12.786 --> 01:21:13.912
I ...
01:21:15.122 --> 01:21:19.000
I do not want to be your teacher.
No, understand me.
01:21:19.209 --> 01:21:23.213
I am saying only
that you should please yourself.
01:21:23.422 --> 01:21:27.217
My opinion is of no importance.
01:21:28.093 --> 01:21:29.136
Do you forgive me?
01:21:29.678 --> 01:21:33.098
-Well , of course.
-Can I make a gift?
01:21:33.306 --> 01:21:36.143
An experience. Do you Iike the opera?
01:21:36.977 --> 01:21:38.395
Oh , I do.
01:21:38.603 --> 01:21:43.567
I mean , I think I do. We don't seem
to get a Iot of opera in Concord .
01:21:46.778 --> 01:21:48.738
Well , I don't have an opera dress.
01:21:48.947 --> 01:21:50.699
You will be perfect.
01:21:50.907 --> 01:21:55.495
Where we are sitting
we shall not be so formal .
01:22:21.062 --> 01:22:23.190
Leila is a goddess.
01:22:23.398 --> 01:22:26.109
She has made a promise
never to Iove.
01:22:27.068 --> 01:22:31.364
If she breaks her vow, all will be Iost.
01:22:33.867 --> 01:22:36.620
Oh , look. Trouble is coming .
01:22:36.828 --> 01:22:38.455
What's going to happen?
01:22:38.663 --> 01:22:40.790
The inevitable.
01:22:47.839 --> 01:22:52.552
Leila. . . . Leila's soul is opening .
01:22:52.969 --> 01:22:55.472
She's drawn to an idea.
01:22:55.680 --> 01:23:00.435
He says, "Love has a fatal power."
01:23:24.376 --> 01:23:26.294
"Your heart...
01:23:26.878 --> 01:23:28.964
...understood mine.
01:23:32.676 --> 01:23:37.264
I n the depth of the fragrant night...
01:23:38.265 --> 01:23:41.476
...I listened with ravished soul ...
01:23:44.646 --> 01:23:47.190
...to your beloved voice.
01:23:50.735 --> 01:23:54.781
Your heart understood mine."
01:25:21.701 --> 01:25:24.871
Oh , Laurie! You wicked ...
01:25:25.080 --> 01:25:27.040
We heard you were in Greece
or somewhere.
01:25:27.248 --> 01:25:30.210
Laurie. Come, come.
01:25:30.418 --> 01:25:32.837
You've been much occupied
with business, I am sure.
01:25:33.046 --> 01:25:35.632
I'm not pursuing business just now.
Grandfather agreed ...
01:25:35.799 --> 01:25:38.843
...I should concentrate
on my music for a while.
01:25:39.511 --> 01:25:41.846
-You know Fred Vaughan .
-Freddy.
01:25:42.055 --> 01:25:44.057
-Good day, Laurence.
-Yes.
01:25:44.265 --> 01:25:46.851
And I see you've taken up
a passion for art, Freddy.
01:25:47.060 --> 01:25:51.272
-Aunt March . You Iook splendid .
-I cannot say the same for you , my boy.
01:25:51.481 --> 01:25:54.651
Amy, dear, will you be Iong?
I must retire.
01:25:54.859 --> 01:25:58.446
Yes, Aunt March . Do come see us.
01:26:06.746 --> 01:26:10.208
-Are they engaged?
-Not yet.
01:26:18.466 --> 01:26:22.095
-Hop, hop, one, two, three, four.
-Hop, hop, one, two, three, four.
01:26:22.303 --> 01:26:24.472
-Hop, hop, hop, turn .
-Hop, hop, hop, turn .
01:26:27.058 --> 01:26:30.895
Friedrich , how Iong would it take
strychnine to dissolve in brandy?
01:26:31.104 --> 01:26:32.480
About eight minutes?
01:26:32.689 --> 01:26:36.651
And is a dagger worn at the waist,
or is that a saber?
01:26:36.860 --> 01:26:42.532
I think that in these novels the dagger
is usually concealed in the boot...
01:26:42.741 --> 01:26:45.577
...by a man with a dark mustache.
01:27:13.146 --> 01:27:15.023
Go this way.
01:27:16.566 --> 01:27:18.610
Hurry, hurry.
01:27:21.070 --> 01:27:22.781
Well ...
01:27:31.873 --> 01:27:35.335
Oh , Laurie, how lovely.
01:27:40.089 --> 01:27:42.175
It isn't what it should be...
01:27:42.383 --> 01:27:45.804
-...but you have improved it.
-PIease don't.
01:27:46.012 --> 01:27:50.475
I liked you much better
when you were blunt and natural .
01:27:51.935 --> 01:27:54.395
It did not serve me well .
01:27:57.148 --> 01:27:59.567
I find you changed .
01:28:01.986 --> 01:28:03.655
I n fact, I despise you .
01:28:03.863 --> 01:28:07.158
You laze about, spending
your family's money and courting women .
01:28:08.034 --> 01:28:10.370
You aren't serious about music.
01:28:10.578 --> 01:28:13.498
My compositions
are like your paintings.
01:28:13.706 --> 01:28:17.794
Mediocre copies
of another man's genius.
01:28:18.002 --> 01:28:22.465
Then why don't you go to grandfather
in London and make yourself useful?
01:28:22.674 --> 01:28:24.217
I should .
01:28:24.968 --> 01:28:27.387
Why don't you reform me?
01:28:29.973 --> 01:28:32.600
I've someone more practical in mind .
01:28:32.809 --> 01:28:35.728
You do not Iove Fred Vaughan .
01:28:35.937 --> 01:28:38.273
Fred Vaughan is stable
and well-mannered--
01:28:38.481 --> 01:28:41.025
And has 40,000 a year.
01:28:41.234 --> 01:28:44.320
I've always known
I would not marry a pauper.
01:28:45.488 --> 01:28:48.366
I expect a proposal any day.
01:28:48.950 --> 01:28:51.202
You'Il regret it.
01:28:51.411 --> 01:28:54.330
I'Il regret it.
01:28:55.248 --> 01:28:58.668
I'm reminded of a promise.
01:28:59.210 --> 01:29:02.338
Didn't I say I would kiss you
before you die?
01:29:04.340 --> 01:29:06.551
Do you hear from Jo?
01:29:07.218 --> 01:29:10.555
She has befriended a German professor.
01:29:13.391 --> 01:29:15.476
Yes, well , no doubt
he's showing her...
01:29:15.685 --> 01:29:17.562
...the ways of the world .
01:29:18.438 --> 01:29:23.067
I do not wish to be courted by someone
who is still in love with my sister.
01:29:23.651 --> 01:29:25.904
I'm not in love with Jo.
01:29:26.112 --> 01:29:30.742
-Then how do you explain your jealousy?
-I envy her happiness.
01:29:33.119 --> 01:29:35.747
I envy his happiness.
01:29:35.955 --> 01:29:41.085
I envy John Brooke for marrying Meg .
I hate Fred Vaughan .
01:29:41.294 --> 01:29:44.339
And if Beth had a lover,
I would despise him too.
01:29:44.547 --> 01:29:48.885
Just as you have always known
you would never marry a pauper...
01:29:49.093 --> 01:29:54.933
...I have always known
I should be part of the March family.
01:29:55.975 --> 01:29:58.811
I do not wish to be Ioved for my family.
01:29:59.020 --> 01:30:03.024
Any more than Fred Vaughan
wishes to be loved for his 40,000 a year.
01:30:30.385 --> 01:30:32.136
My darling Amy.
01:30:32.345 --> 01:30:35.890
It is you l want and not your family.
01:30:36.099 --> 01:30:39.727
L've gone to London
to make myself worthy of you.
01:30:39.936 --> 01:30:44.315
Please, do not do anything
we shall regret.
01:30:47.360 --> 01:30:50.822
Monsieur Vaughan, mademoiselle,
may I show him in?
01:31:02.875 --> 01:31:05.795
-Friedrich , did you read it?
-Yes.
01:31:06.546 --> 01:31:07.714
It's...
01:31:07.922 --> 01:31:10.550
Oh , it's well-written , Jo.
01:31:10.758 --> 01:31:14.220
And a first novel .
What a great accomplishment.
01:31:14.429 --> 01:31:17.473
Well , I'm going to be showing it
to your publisher friend , Mr. Fields, today.
01:31:17.682 --> 01:31:20.685
He liked "The Sinner's Corpse."
01:31:21.728 --> 01:31:22.812
What is it?
01:31:23.021 --> 01:31:25.690
Mr. Fields is a good man . He will--
01:31:25.898 --> 01:31:28.651
He will give you an honest opinion .
01:31:28.860 --> 01:31:31.946
Oh , I see.
01:31:33.573 --> 01:31:35.575
What is your honest opinion?
01:31:35.783 --> 01:31:37.285
I'm a professor of philosophy, Jo.
01:31:37.493 --> 01:31:39.704
No, I'd really like to know
what you think.
01:31:42.206 --> 01:31:46.878
You sh--
You should be writing from life...
01:31:47.086 --> 01:31:49.047
...from the depths of your soul .
01:31:49.255 --> 01:31:52.759
There is nothing in here of the woman
that I am privileged to know.
01:31:55.178 --> 01:31:57.972
Friedrich , this is what I write.
01:31:59.557 --> 01:32:02.560
My apologies if it fails
to Iive up to your high standards.
01:32:02.769 --> 01:32:06.314
Jo, there is more to you than this...
01:32:06.522 --> 01:32:09.609
...if you have the courage to write it.
01:32:54.779 --> 01:32:55.988
Meg !
01:32:58.407 --> 01:32:59.408
Jo?
01:33:02.745 --> 01:33:04.455
Jo!
01:33:04.956 --> 01:33:06.290
Oh , Meg !
01:33:09.585 --> 01:33:11.838
Oh , why didn't you tell me?
01:33:12.046 --> 01:33:14.132
Well , one hardly speaks
of such things.
01:33:14.340 --> 01:33:17.176
Oh , how wonderful .
01:33:21.097 --> 01:33:25.810
-How is Beth?
-You will find her much altered .
01:33:43.369 --> 01:33:45.037
Marmee.
01:33:48.541 --> 01:33:51.002
She wouldn't let us
send for you sooner.
01:33:51.210 --> 01:33:54.839
The doctor has been here
a number of times...
01:33:55.047 --> 01:33:57.884
...but it's beyond all of us, and I think...
01:34:02.597 --> 01:34:05.516
I think she's been waiting for you ...
01:34:06.350 --> 01:34:08.102
...before--
01:34:22.241 --> 01:34:25.745
Drink up all this good broth .
01:34:25.953 --> 01:34:30.750
-I'm glad you're home.
-So am I .
01:34:47.350 --> 01:34:51.062
"Mr. Pickwick changed color.
'Ah,' said Mr. Wartle.
01:34:51.270 --> 01:34:55.816
'Well , that's important. There's nothing
suspicious then , I suppose."'
01:34:57.151 --> 01:35:00.363
I feel stronger with you close by.
01:35:03.824 --> 01:35:06.452
I'm gonna get you better yet.
01:35:07.370 --> 01:35:11.582
If God wants me with him ,
there is none who will stop him.
01:35:17.505 --> 01:35:19.674
I don't mind .
01:35:20.758 --> 01:35:23.302
I was never Iike the rest of you ...
01:35:23.511 --> 01:35:27.890
...making plans
about the great things I'd do.
01:35:30.184 --> 01:35:33.646
I never saw myself as anything much .
01:35:33.854 --> 01:35:36.357
Not a great writer Iike you .
01:35:36.565 --> 01:35:39.402
Oh , Beth . I'm not a great writer.
01:35:39.610 --> 01:35:41.821
But you will be.
01:35:45.574 --> 01:35:48.953
Oh , Jo, I've missed you so.
01:35:52.707 --> 01:35:56.002
Why does everyone want to go away?
01:35:57.503 --> 01:36:00.423
I love being home.
01:36:03.384 --> 01:36:06.637
But I don't Iike being leff behind .
01:36:10.641 --> 01:36:13.686
Now I am the one going ahead .
01:36:17.648 --> 01:36:20.568
I am not afraid .
01:36:22.320 --> 01:36:25.406
I can be brave Iike you .
01:36:27.950 --> 01:36:33.331
But I know I shall be
homesick for you , even in heaven .
01:36:33.539 --> 01:36:35.958
Oh , Beth .
01:36:36.167 --> 01:36:37.626
No.
01:36:38.711 --> 01:36:41.172
I won't let you go.
01:36:42.506 --> 01:36:44.717
Oh , my Jo.
01:39:04.940 --> 01:39:07.026
Aunt March is bedridden ...
01:39:07.234 --> 01:39:09.528
...and would not survive a sea voyage.
01:39:09.737 --> 01:39:12.781
Amy must bide her time
and return later.
01:39:14.700 --> 01:39:16.785
It's just as well .
01:39:19.914 --> 01:39:23.250
Will we never all be together again?
01:40:11.340 --> 01:40:14.510
-Lovely morning .
-Good morning .
01:40:14.718 --> 01:40:16.512
Thank you , sir.
01:40:28.941 --> 01:40:30.693
Dearest Laurie.
01:40:30.901 --> 01:40:33.654
You may not have heard
our sad news of Beth.
01:40:33.862 --> 01:40:35.906
"Meg has entered her confinement...
01:40:36.115 --> 01:40:39.743
...and poor Amy must stay
in Vevey with Aunt March ."
01:40:48.586 --> 01:40:52.464
This is far too great a sorrow
to bear alone.
01:40:52.673 --> 01:40:55.718
Please come home to us,
Teddy dear.
01:40:56.260 --> 01:40:59.221
Your faithful, Jo.
01:41:17.656 --> 01:41:20.159
Oh , Laurie.
01:41:27.750 --> 01:41:30.085
I knew you would come.
01:43:38.714 --> 01:43:41.049
The real charm of it lay
in Beth 's happy face...
01:43:41.258 --> 01:43:42.718
...as she leaned over the new piano...
01:43:42.926 --> 01:43:47.264
...and lovingly touched
the beautiful black and white keys.
01:43:51.059 --> 01:43:53.479
During the next few minutes,
the rumor circulated...
01:43:53.687 --> 01:43:58.150
...that Amy March had got
24 delicious limes.
01:43:58.942 --> 01:44:00.986
L told you they dressed me up,
but l didn't tell you...
01:44:01.195 --> 01:44:05.115
...that they powdered and squeezed,
and made me look a fashion plate.
01:44:06.825 --> 01:44:09.495
As she spoke, Jo took off her bonnet.
01:44:09.703 --> 01:44:14.750
A general outcry arose,
for all her abundant hair was cut short.
01:44:14.958 --> 01:44:18.295
Jo, how could you? Your one beauty.
01:44:18.504 --> 01:44:21.298
Nothing's going to change, Jo.
01:45:59.354 --> 01:46:01.106
Surprise!
01:46:02.357 --> 01:46:04.860
John , you have a daughter.
01:46:05.068 --> 01:46:07.029
And a son .
01:46:10.073 --> 01:46:13.827
Oh , Marmee, I can't believe
you did this four times.
01:46:15.162 --> 01:46:16.788
Yes...
01:46:17.039 --> 01:46:20.584
...but never two at once, my darling .
01:46:39.728 --> 01:46:41.480
Oh , Daisy.
01:46:44.107 --> 01:46:46.318
Oh , Meg . She's so beautiful .
01:46:46.526 --> 01:46:48.904
And him . He is handsome.
01:46:49.112 --> 01:46:51.949
He's gonna look
just Iike his papa when he grows up.
01:46:52.157 --> 01:46:55.160
Yes, he does Iook Iike John .
01:46:57.245 --> 01:46:59.706
Have you heard from the professor?
01:47:00.040 --> 01:47:03.085
No. No.
01:47:04.670 --> 01:47:07.214
We did not part well .
01:47:09.591 --> 01:47:13.011
Well , John and I don't always agree,
but then we mend it.
01:47:14.888 --> 01:47:16.723
Who could that be?
01:47:29.236 --> 01:47:31.238
-Jo!
-Teddy!
01:47:31.446 --> 01:47:34.700
-Oh , this is magic!
-You are absolutely--
01:47:34.908 --> 01:47:38.912
Covered in flour. Oh , dear! Come in .
01:47:39.121 --> 01:47:42.708
No, Jo, not yet. May I tell you something
without the others?
01:47:42.916 --> 01:47:44.501
You're my dear friend .
01:47:44.710 --> 01:47:47.254
-I'm glad you shall be the first to know.
-What?
01:47:47.462 --> 01:47:50.507
May I present...
01:47:50.716 --> 01:47:52.342
...my wife.
01:47:54.720 --> 01:47:56.555
Jo.
01:47:58.473 --> 01:48:01.018
Amy. Oh , my.
01:48:02.144 --> 01:48:05.731
-Here. FIowers. Oh , you're so--
-Thank you .
01:48:05.939 --> 01:48:08.483
Come in . Come in .
01:48:16.658 --> 01:48:19.411
Brussels Iace.
01:48:19.619 --> 01:48:22.164
I went to Europe to paint
the great cathedrals...
01:48:22.330 --> 01:48:25.000
...but I couldn't get our home
out of my mind .
01:48:25.208 --> 01:48:27.502
Oh , look how Amy
has captured Orchard House.
01:48:27.711 --> 01:48:29.129
-Look.
-Lovely.
01:48:29.296 --> 01:48:31.590
Oh , it's beautiful .
01:48:31.798 --> 01:48:35.135
Not as beautiful as I wanted ,
but I am still Iearning .
01:48:38.430 --> 01:48:40.849
Dear Iittle angel .
01:48:42.434 --> 01:48:46.229
Jo, you must tell me
the truth as a sister...
01:48:46.438 --> 01:48:49.524
...which is a relation
stronger than marriage.
01:48:50.025 --> 01:48:51.902
Do you mind at all?
01:48:53.403 --> 01:48:54.571
Oh , no.
01:48:54.780 --> 01:48:57.449
I was surprised .
01:48:57.657 --> 01:49:00.285
Mind you , I had it on
good authority that our Teddy...
01:49:00.494 --> 01:49:04.164
...would never love another,
and now he's gone and gotten married .
01:49:04.372 --> 01:49:06.291
It's good to hear you
call me Teddy again .
01:49:10.712 --> 01:49:14.925
At last, we're all family
as we always should have been .
01:49:15.717 --> 01:49:19.054
You must promise me that
you will always live close by.
01:49:19.262 --> 01:49:21.473
I couldn't bear Iosing another sister.
01:49:37.823 --> 01:49:40.367
Jo, it's so gloomy and chilly.
01:49:40.575 --> 01:49:44.788
One would require an income
just for the coal to heat this place.
01:49:44.996 --> 01:49:47.290
What could the dear girl
have been thinking?
01:49:47.499 --> 01:49:50.001
Most Iikely she felt sorry for me.
01:49:50.210 --> 01:49:52.671
Decrepit homeless spinster.
01:49:52.879 --> 01:49:54.589
Jo.
01:49:54.923 --> 01:49:57.717
Poor aunt,
Iiving here all those years alone...
01:49:57.926 --> 01:50:01.680
...in this useless old house.
01:50:01.888 --> 01:50:05.559
Yes, her blessings became a burden
because she couldn't share them .
01:50:05.767 --> 01:50:08.728
Wouldn't this have made
a wonderful school?
01:50:09.104 --> 01:50:11.106
A school .
01:50:13.400 --> 01:50:15.902
What a challenge that would be.
01:50:35.172 --> 01:50:38.383
Hello, Tuppy. Hello.
01:50:41.887 --> 01:50:43.638
Good boy.
01:50:54.191 --> 01:50:58.403
My book.
Someone's publishing my book.
01:50:58.612 --> 01:51:00.864
Hannah ! Hannah !
01:51:01.072 --> 01:51:03.825
-Someone's publishing my book!
-Heaven help us.
01:51:04.034 --> 01:51:05.702
But it came with no Ietter.
How did it arrive?
01:51:05.911 --> 01:51:07.037
Foreign gentleman brung it.
01:51:07.245 --> 01:51:10.248
-Strange kind of name. Can't think of it.
-Hannah !
01:51:10.457 --> 01:51:14.169
-Oh , fox or bear or such .
-Bhaer! Did you ask him to wait?
01:51:14.377 --> 01:51:17.172
I thought he was
one of Miss Amy's European friends...
01:51:17.380 --> 01:51:18.882
...coming with a wedding gift.
01:51:19.090 --> 01:51:23.136
I said , "M iss March
and Mr. Laurie are living next door."
01:51:23.345 --> 01:51:27.307
-Oh , Hannah , you didn't!
-And he said he had a train to catch .
01:51:42.614 --> 01:51:44.407
Friedrich !
01:51:58.338 --> 01:52:00.548
Oh , Friedrich , thank you for my book.
01:52:03.760 --> 01:52:07.597
Well , when I didn't hear from you ,
I thought you hated it.
01:52:07.806 --> 01:52:12.102
Oh , no. No.
Reading your book was Iike...
01:52:12.310 --> 01:52:14.396
...opening a window into your heart.
01:52:14.604 --> 01:52:19.484
James Fields took it out of my hands,
and he would not give it back to me.
01:52:19.693 --> 01:52:23.321
I said ,
"Such news I have to give to her myself."
01:52:23.947 --> 01:52:27.575
Well , it was. . . . It was a silly impulse.
01:52:27.784 --> 01:52:31.079
No, no. Not silly at all .
01:52:32.247 --> 01:52:36.084
It's so good to see you .
Come and meet my family.
01:52:36.293 --> 01:52:37.919
No, I--
01:52:38.211 --> 01:52:40.088
Thank you ...
01:52:40.380 --> 01:52:43.133
...but I have to catch the train .
01:52:43.341 --> 01:52:46.136
I-- I'm going to the west.
01:52:46.344 --> 01:52:49.973
My ship leaves from Boston
tomorrow morning .
01:52:51.141 --> 01:52:54.978
Yes. The schools in the west are young .
01:52:55.186 --> 01:52:57.397
They need professors...
01:52:58.481 --> 01:53:02.319
...and they're not so concerned
about the accent.
01:53:04.821 --> 01:53:07.073
I don't mind it either.
01:53:09.075 --> 01:53:12.329
You see, my aunt Ieft me PIumfield .
01:53:12.537 --> 01:53:16.458
It isn't a field . It's a house, actually.
A rather Iarge house.
01:53:16.666 --> 01:53:20.337
And it isn't really good for anything
except a school .
01:53:20.545 --> 01:53:22.088
And I want a good school ...
01:53:22.297 --> 01:53:24.883
...one that would be open
to anyone who wanted to learn .
01:53:25.050 --> 01:53:28.470
And , well , I'Il be needing someone...
01:53:28.678 --> 01:53:31.973
...who knows how to teach .
01:53:32.515 --> 01:53:35.352
Is there nothing I might say
to keep you here?
01:53:35.518 --> 01:53:37.979
I confess that...
01:53:38.188 --> 01:53:41.733
...I was hoping that I might
have a reason to stay...
01:53:41.941 --> 01:53:47.155
...but congratulations
on the celebration of your marriage.
01:53:47.364 --> 01:53:51.993
Oh , no. No. No, that's Amy.
01:53:52.202 --> 01:53:54.829
She's my sister, Amy,
and Laurie, actually.
01:53:55.038 --> 01:53:58.416
No, I'm-- I'm not married .
01:54:00.919 --> 01:54:03.380
PIease don't go so far away.
01:54:05.298 --> 01:54:07.342
Jo.
01:54:07.550 --> 01:54:12.097
Such a little name for such a person .
01:54:15.975 --> 01:54:17.394
Will you have me?
01:54:18.937 --> 01:54:21.481
With all of my heart.
01:54:25.151 --> 01:54:28.863
But I have nothing to give you .
My hands are empty.
01:54:31.533 --> 01:54:33.827
Not empty now.
