I'm not good at expressing myself,
Even if words of love overflow.
But these tears are not false.
That is the indisputable truth.
My love toward you that I just remembered,
I can't write that in a letter.
I'm moving toward you.
There's a confusion I can't speak of yet.
It all starts now! It's always from now on!
Now I'm ready to be a lady for love!
The Monday that Changed my Destiny
Mama, make me a cake! Make lots of candies and biscuits, too!
I'll make it with Papa, okay?
Sis, wait!
Let's go.
What are you doing? It's time to practice!
Mama!
Papa!
Christ has come to us! Amen!
Geez! I can't stand it anymore!
Judy! Hold on!
You again?
You know what you need to do, right?
Write a reflective essay and come back!
Yes, Ms. Lippett.
Thief!
Don't touch it!
It's mine! Don't touch it!
It's mine!
- Emily! - Mama!
No!!
Are you all right, Mary?
Mama! Are you all right, Mary?
Mama!
I'm sorry.
What a violent child!
- Papa, carry me! - There we go!
Emily, you mustn't do that.
You'll lose your way.
Where are my Mama and Papa?
Come, Emily. Let's go inside. We can get some candy.
Judy! What are you doing?
Bring Emily inside at once!
What's your problem? What a lousy car!
If someone asked me what I hated most of all, I would immediately say Sunday Mass.
But to avoid any misunderstanding, I have to convince people that I am a devoted Christian.
I like and respect the priest. He has a shiny bald head like an angel and he gives us hope.
And I like the kind ladies, whom I respect, like Ms. Lippett, and give us sweet candy as a reward.
It's just that everyone sees us differently.
Of course, I think that it may just be because of our clothes.
What a poor child. There's nothing left for you.
Oh, isn't this a pretty handkerchief?
I'll give it to you.
Yes.
To be honest, it really makes me angry.
When I look at their satisfied faces,
I think that we orphans must look like...
loyal puppies wagging our tails at them.
Oh, your face is all dirty.
Oh, my!
Thank you very much for the handkerchief.
It was very useful!
Very useful!
Oh, my!
Emily!
Oh, are you all right?
Now, I think that you know why I hate Sunday Mass so much.
It's finished!
Judy, Ms. Lippett is calling you.
What? I'm supposed to hand in the reflective essay tomorrow...
Did I forget to do something for them?
It's about the committee's inspection tomorrow.
Inspection?!
Hey, Sadie!
Be quiet!
I've realized that I made a terrible mistake.
I hate Sunday Mass second most.
No matter what I said, I hate one Monday of each month more than any other day.
Even on normal days, the orphanage is very hectic.
But on those Mondays, it's as though a typhoon strikes.
Judy! Come here at once!
Yes, Ms. Lippett!
That's the typhoon.
Since it is almost time for bed, I'll keep it short.
People from the committee will come tor conduct the usual inspection.
After that, there will be a meeting to discuss some other things.
That's Emily's voice.
Ms. Lippett, it looks like Emily's sad.
Judy, I am talking about something that's important to everyone.
Then please tell us about the meeting.
I'll say it clearly.
At the meeting, they will be discussing your future job prospects.
Will we be able to get a job?
And they will choose one orphan from among you, and sponsor you to go to high school.
That's great!
High school!
Then, I'll be able to leave this orphanage, right?
Yahoo!
Judy.
High school!
Judy!
I can go to high school!
Judy Abbott!
Yes, Ms. Lippett?
Do you really think you can go to high school?
I called you to warn you to be careful not to cause any trouble tomorrow.
Do you understand?
Tomorrow will be an important day.
If you cause troubles like you always do...
Yes, Ma'am. Anyway, I will do my best.
Um, I'm going to check on Emily.
Wait!
Judy!
You don't have to do your best!
But I'll still do my best.
Maybe the rain of luck will fall on me.
Yahoo!
Good morning!
Wake up, everyone.
It's such a lovely day!
Come, Peter.
Wake up, Emily.
Now, let's get going!
Come on!
Hey!
What a noisy girl.
Didn't she tell you that you didn't have to do your best?
- Judy Abbott. - Yes, Ma'am!
Knock before you enter.
Is something wrong?
Um... Good morning, Ms. Lippett.
Here is my reflective essay.
Um... May I start cleaning this room?
It is an important day today.
I will clean carefully.
You're really cleaning up.
Judy!
Excuse me!
JUDY!!!
Usually, the low pressure system on inspection day requires endurahce, intensity and hard work.
We wouldn't stand for it any longer... but if it's for the sake of the clear sky after the typhoon...
High school!
High school...
What's this?
The inspectors are coming!
Are you trying to make me look bad?
I'm so sorry, Ms. Lippett.
The typhoon has reached its climax!
JUDY!!
It's 930 millibars!
Now it's 920!
Maximum wind speed! 60 meters per second!
JUDY!!!
I won't forgive you for this!
And then, the typhoon covers the whole John Grier Orphanage.
I won't give up!
Here we go. Here we go.
No, don't!
Clean it up immediately.
Sister Judy! Draw us a doll!
I can't. I'll do it next time, okay?
I have to clean up now.
Draw the one you always do.
Out of the question.
We hate Mondays!
All we ever do is clean because the committee people are coming.
I want to play with you, Judy.
We didn't do anything wrong.
Sister! Draw us a picture!
Well, I guess I still have time.
The line is not too short!
Not too short! The line is not too short!
Not too short!
A pointed nose, crescent moon glasses, a black dress, and a skirt!
In a matter of seconds, in a matter of seconds, a witch that...
"In a matter of seconds?"
A witch that...
I was planning to erase these...
And just who is this?
And in the afternoon, the eye of the storm finally arrives.
Welcome! Thank you for coming to the John Grier Orphanage when you're so busy.
Everyone, this way please.
The John Grier Orphanage was founded to raise fine Americans.
What a fine philosophy.
Welcome.
Please take your time and look around.
What well-educated children.
Thank you very much.
Ms. Lippett, tea is ready.
All right, everyone.
The inspectors will have tea after the inspection.
You will serve them tea.
And you, Judy...
Yes!
I'm warning you to be very careful.
All right?
This is for the sake of the high school scholarship.
I'm counting on you, Sadie.
I will do my best to meet your expectations.
I will do my best.
I won't lose!
Judy, do your best no matter what anyone says.
You have my support.
Thank you, Estel-obasan.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you very much.
Thank you.
How old are you?
I-I'm thirteen.
In any case, it is important for the children to follow rules and have proper manners.
You are absolotely right.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
I would like you to teach everyone how to be polite, General Cyrus.
Please let me handle it.
I, General Cyrus, shall...
I'll do it right this time.
I-I'm so sorry!
Please excuse me.
I will get you a new one immediately.
Judy, I ask that you do not make any more mistakes.
Yes.
Judy!
What's so funny?
You're being impolite!
General Cyrus, your moustache!
W-w-what?
I'm so sorry!
Oh, this is horrible!
This girl doesn't have any manners at all.
I'm terribly sorry.
Please come this way and get changed.
I am terribly sorry, everyone.
Judy Abbott.
Ms. Lippett.
Judy, you know what to do, right?
Return to your room and think hard about what you've done.
I understand.
What's going on?
I am terribly sorry.
My goodness!
There are no manners here, and the education is lacking.
Please excuse me as well.
General Cyrus!
I shall also go home.
Judy!
Judy! Judy! Judy! Judy! Judy!
Sister Judy, will you read to me?
I can't today.
I'm sorry, Emily!
Judy! What happened?
Leave me alone!
Judy!
Judy, Ms. Lippett's calling you.
Please, God!
Come in quickly.
Excuse me, what would you like me to do?
It looks like Emily's about to cry.
If you leave this room,
you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.
I called you here to talk about your reflective essay.
This reflective essay has decided your future.
Um, about my future... will I be a cook or a maid?
Although I was strongly against it,
Judy Abbott, you have been chosen.
So, what are you saying?
I'm saying that you have been chosen to receive the scholarship for high school.
A committee member came late.
He must have a very strange sense of humor.
He was very impressed with your reflective essay.
So I can really go to high school?
Which high school is it?
Will I be able to leave soon?
Calm down a little.
I can't calm down!
I can leave the orphanage!
Is he leaving now?
That's right.
Judy, listen carefully.
That man has only one condition...
I have to go thank him!
Wait! I need to...
Who could it be? Who could it be? Who could it be?
Wait!
Who is it?
Who made it possible for me to enter high school?
Wait!
Wow, you have such long legs.
I know! You're Daddy Long Legs!
Daddy Long Legs! Thank you!
I can go to high school!
YAY!
Yahoo!
I can go to high school!
Eh? What's wrong, everyone?
Why are you all angry?
Next on My Daddy Long Legs: Preparing for a Journey by Myself.
I'm gonna do my best!
When your eyes say you will never give up,
They're twinkling and sparkling. You are wonderful!
The wind that blows behind you,
And follows you like your friends do.
Just a little wild and cute,
The angels that you're surrounded by.
In order to grasp your powerful dream,
Don't worry about your messy hair.
The power to grasp a long desired dream,
One who has that, can be recognized by everyone.
