~~ Daddy Long Legs ~~ ~ Subtitles by C1Anime ~ OCR by Inactive
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!
Preparing for a Journey by Myself
Calm down!
Yes.
But... you see... where will I be going to high school?
Oh, yeah! When will I be going?
Who is sending me to high school?
I'll explain it now, so please be quiet.
I understand very well that you are very happy to leave the orphanage.
Well... I didn't mean it like...
It's written on your face.
Well, never mind that.
To think that you are able to go to high school...
So, what is his...
You will be going to the Lincoln Memorial Girls' School, a boarding school in New Jersey.
Lincoln Memorial Girls' School!
And the one who is sending you to high school is a man called John Smith.
Mr. John Smith!
Of course, that isn't his real name.
He is an eccentric person, so he doesn't want to give out his name.
What? Why not?
Listen to me!
He said that he will send your tuition fees directly to school every month,
and give you an allowance every month.
An allowance?
Be sure not to waste the money!
Understand? Never forget that the money was supposed to come to the John Grier Orphanage.
The money will be sent every month by Mr. Smith's clerk, Walter Griggs.
In exchange, you will send Mr. Smith a letter of appreciation every month.
However, do not thank him for the money.
Then what should I write?
Sorry.
Basically, write about how your schoolwork is going, or your everyday life, things like that.
However, Mr. Smith will not reply to your letters.
Understand?
These letters are very important. Don't mess it up like you usually do!
I understand... um... so...
He said you may leave at any time.
Anytime? Then I'll leave right away!
Judy!
What about your preparations?
Oh, yeah.
I received this for your travel preparations.
Estel will help you with other preparations.
Understand? Never forget that his donations are not coming to the orphanage any more.
I won't waste it, Ms. Lippett.
Well, I'll start preparing immediately, so I'll take this.
Ms. Lippett, this doesn't look like real money.
It's a check. Go to the bank and exchange it for cash.
So, this piece of paper is worth fifty dollars?!
Wow!
What should I buy?
Give it to Estel! Understand?
Yes, Ms. Lippett!
Judy-oneechan, are you free?
Let's play outside!
Yeah! Can we?
I'm sorry, Emily. I have lots of preparation to do.
I wanna prepare too!
- Me too! - Me too!
Is it okay? Hey, Judy-oneechan!
Okay, I guess I'll get some help from everyone.
Yay! This is awesome!
Hey, you guys! Where are you going?
Come back to the classroom!
No! I'm going to prepare with Judy-oneechan!
- Me too! - Me too!
If you don't listen to me, Ms. Lippett's gonna hear about it!
Emily!
Peter!
You too, George!
Sadie, you don't have to do this!
Judy! Because you're going to high school, I have to look after the children!
You just shut your mouth!
Now, come with me.
No! Judy-oneechan!
This is really great, Judy!
I thought that you would definitely be selected.
Thank you, Estel-obaasan.
You should just throw these old clothes away.
But I can still wear them.
What are you saying? You should buy some new clothes, at least.
You're going to high school!
But anyway, you don't really have much.
Come, why are you all dazed?
Hey, let's go!
First we'll go to a bank, and then to a tailor.
Come on now!
You're really helping us by letting us adopt such a healthy boy.
Darling!
What do you mean by help?
We just came to adopt a child, right?
What a horrible man!
No, not at all.
We are the ones who must thank you.
Now, please come to the Director's office for the procedures.
You come too, Tommy.
Um, what about the bucket?
Oh, I'll take care of that.
Please wait a minute.
Now, please come this way.
Are you going shopping now?
Don't waste the money, understand?
It seems that everyone wants to adopt a girl three years old or younger.
When Tommy graduated from junior high school, I thought I should help him find work somewhere.
Well, I never thought that he would be adopted by such a kind couple as you.
It was completely past my expectations.
Now, Tommy, thank them properly.
So, when should we pick him up?
We would like to pick him up as soon as possible.
Yes, it's better to leave early, right, Judy?
Because you're going to high school, I have to look after the children!
Judy. Judy!
Um... I don't want the dress after all!
What?!
I'm so sorry!
Twenty new blankets. Three dozen bars of soap.
Five chairs and desks...
The donations aren't enough...
Wow! Really?
What's going on out there?
Now, come here, everyone!
Come now, hurry, hurry!
These are all presents for you!
Gather around, everyone!
This is great! It's so big!
Hey, what's inside, Judy-oneechan?
Hey, hurry and open it!
OK. Let's ask Emily to undo the ribbon for us.
Wow!
There!
Yay!
It's so cute!
Come! There's enough for everyone!
Choose what you like!
What's all this?
Judy-oneechan said that these are presents for everyone.
Tommy! There's a present for you, too!
I had some trouble trying to decide what to get you, but...
Ta-da!
You seem to like studying, so I got you this.
Thank you.
I'm so glad! You like it!
What are you doing out here?
You didn't finish cleaning up. Why did you come here?
What's this? What happened?
Sadie, I'm sorry for causing such a stir.
Hey, I got one for you as well. Look.
If think they'll look great on you.
What's this?
What do you mean 'What'? It's a present for you.
- Sadie, what are you doing? - You think you're so great!
Since you can go to high school, you're being charitable all of a sudden?
That's not...
Give presents to poor little orphans?
You must feel really proud of yourself.
Sadie, Judy didn't mean...
Then what does she mean?
Sadie, it's hard on Judy because she is the only one who can go to high school.
If it's hard on her, then let me take her place!
Well? You do this to make yourself feel better, but I'm sick of this!
Tommy. You think so too, right, Tommy?
Tommy... you accepted it.
You don't have to take it. All it does is make Judy feel better, right?
Are you going to be adopted?
You won't get a chance to study!
Please don't decide things like that!
Sadie, I'm not just going to work at the farm. I'm going there to be their son!
I can have a father and mother!
And I will work, in order to help my parents!
If I want to study, I can do that too!
That's a lie! A lie! A lie! A lie!
That can't be true!
Come on! Right, Tommy? That's definitely a lie!
Just what is the meaning of this?
Could it be...
Um... Judy...
How many times did I tell you not to waste the money?
That money is for...
Estel! How did this happen since you were with her?
Well.. Judy said that as long as she has money for the journey, she doesn't want anything...
Nothing?
Then, no dresses or shoes either?
What were you thinking, Judy?
Do you plan to go to high school dressed like that?
You'll be embarrassed!
I... if I can just go to high school... I... I...
I'm so sorry!
Hurry and distribute it to everyone.
Yes!
Come, it's all right now. Ms. Lippett gave us her permission!
Eric! There's one for you, too!
What? Really?
Here, Judy chose it.
Wow! I've wanted to read this book!
I'm so happy!
Sadie.
Take these.
I was very presumptuous. It was only natural for Sadie to get angry.
Tommy and Eric must also be angry at me.
Emily.
Come now, Emily. There, there.
Everyone must work hard on their own path, right?
Even little Emily.
Tommy is going to a farm.
I wonder if Sadie will continue working at the John Grier Orphanage.
And I... must cherish the opportunity I was given, and work hard for my future.
Otherwise... I will feel bad for the people who were not selected.
I vow to do my best.
Written at the John Grier Orphanage, the final reflective essay.
By Judy Abbott.
I'm sorry, Judy. At the least, I wanted to send you to the station.
It's all fight, Estel-obaasan.
But more importantly, where is everybody?
They went to see Tommy off.
Tommy's leaving today as well?
It was Tommy's wish.
He said that he doesn't like saying goodbye.
They really are mad at me...
Now, go. You'll miss your train.
Yes.
Well then...
Um, hold on.
Ms. Lippett, this is yesterday's reflective essay.
Reflective essay?
Listen up...
You must work hard since you won't be able to come back any more.
Yes.
You can finally leave the orphanage.
Ms. Lippett!
Hurry and go.
Yes.
Judy! Take care!
Goodbye, Estel-obaasan.
Goodbye, Ms. Lippett!
My thanks to everyone at the John Grier Orphanage!
Goodbye! Goodbye!
So, I'll deliver the goods next week.
Please take care of it.
Bye bye!
Well, that's how it is.
You're leaving, Judy.
For the Lincoln Memorial Girls' School.
Have a good trip, Daddy!
I wanted to apologize!
I wanted to apologize to everyone!
Oneechan!
They came to see me off!
Everyone came!
They came!
Bye!
It won't open.
Ok. Here we go.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, everyone!
I didn't understand your feelings.
I did such a presumptuous thing!
Dad, can't you drive any faster?
Dad? Me?
There's no one else, is there?
That's right! Dad, huh?
Ok then, leave it to me!
Everyone!
I wanted to introduce you to my parents!
Take care, Judy!
Thank you, Ojiisan, Obaasan!
Judy, thanks for this!
Sadie!
Thank you, Judy!
Take care, Judy-oneechan!
Thank you!
You all take care too!
Do you best, Dad! Go for it!
Goodbye!
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Goodbye, Judy! Take care!
I'll do my best!
I finally arrived! It's the big city! New York!
But my suitcase was stolen right after I arrived.
Will I be able to get to high school?
