~~ 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!
A Good Way To Use Gold Coins!
Mankind had a process of evolving through the years. These days,
it's already an indisputable fact.
By the way,
the man who first developed the theory of evolution was Charles Darwin, an Englishman.
Evolution?
He wrote "The Origin of Species" in 1859.
When this book was published, religious groups...
Well then, after your vacation, please research the influence this theory had.
Our vacation starts in three days!
Hey, what are you going to do during the vacation, Sallie?
Naturally, you're going back home, aren't you?
Yes.
I'm going to our holiday house in Florida.
Oh, that's wonderful!
My Dear Daddy Long Legs, how are you?
Soon, we will be having our Christmas vacation.
Everyone is excited about it, as though they were Santa Claus.
That's great!
I'm going skiing at our holiday house, so I'm looking forward to it.
We're having a party at my place.
We get everyone together even year and have lots of fun.
It'll be very busy at my place, too.
Some relatives are coming over from England.
All the way from England? That's amazing!
My mother's side of the family is from the Rutherford family.
Rutherford family?
Oh, didn't you know?
They're well known nobility, descended from Henry the Vlll.
They're even in the history books.
Geez, I'm sick of her showing off her silky socks every day...
Then aren't you nobility as well, Julia?
Well, if I lived in England.
My father's ancestry also goes back to English nobility.
They say that our family tree goes back farther than Adam in the Garden of Eden.
Really?
Geez.
What about you, Judy?
You lived in a huge mansion, didn't you?
Of course, you must also belong to nobility, don't you?
Me?
My ancestors were monkeys.
Monkeys?
That's right. They were quite ordinary monkeys.
But your ancestors were superior, beautiful monkeys with white silky fur,
and especially long silk tails, weren't they?
What did you say?
Well, in the biology class we had earlier, we learned about the Theory of Evolution.
Did I say something rude?
That Judy... making fun of my heritage...
Such a thing is unforgivable!
Oh, excuse me... won't you give us a hand?
Um... testing, testing... everyone, this is Miss Sloan.
I think you're preparing for your vacation,
but there are some messengers from the church that came today.
Christmas is nearly here, so we can show our charitable hearts.
I've gotta get ready!
See you later!
What do you need to get ready?
The donation box.
Donation box?
Come, everyone, there were a lot of things donated this year as well.
Oh, this is cute! Will it look good on someone?
Judy.
Come, Judy, this would look good on you.
Come on, don't be that way, Judy.
Judy, do you intend to make their kindness go to waste?
Thank you very much.
That's good, Judy.
Wow, it looks good on you, Judy.
You have new clothes now.
That's good, Judy.
You must be happy now, Judy.
Oh, they're my hand-me-downs!
Oh, that's right!
Oh, they're my hand-me-downs!
Do you intend to make their kindness go to waste?
Waste everyone's kindness?
Hand-me-downs!
Everyone's kindness...
Everyone's kindness!
Thank you very much.
Hand-me-downs!
Thank you very much.
Hand-me-downs! Hand-me-downs!
Hand-me-downs!
Everyone, they will be passing around the donation box,
so please donate any clothing that you no longer wear,
and anything you no longer use, like gloves.
Please show your kindness.
That's all!
Oh, you're also giving this dress?
It doesn't suit me, and I don't like it anyway.
I wonder what I should give.
These shoes are starting to break,
but my father went to so much trouble to pick these for me.
Shoes?
Come in.
Sorry to bother you.
Oh, Julia... sorry for what I said earlier.
Whatever do you mean?
May I sit here?
Y-Yeah.
Thank you.
What will you put in the donation box?
Nothing.
Oh, why not?
Isn't it our duty to help the poor?
Oh, those run-down shoes you wore the other day will do.
Why don't you buy some new shoes?
You can't use those in rainy days, can you?
Oh, Judy, aren't you ready yet?
You've got to hurry.
The donation box will be here soon.
Judy said that she won't donate anything.
That can't be right.
Hey, Judy, why not?
The Bible says that poor people will always be with us.
We are taught that it is God's will for us to look after those poor people.
What did you say?
Are you saying that poor people are born for the sake of those who are rich?!
God made poor people so that rich people would be charitable to them?!
There's something wrong with that!
So the poor are like the pets for rich people!
What's wrong, Judy? So the poor are like the pets for rich people!
What's wrong, Judy?
Oh, to think that a wealthy person like you would say that.
It's a little strange.
It's the donation box.
Please pass it along to the next room.
It's here, Julia.
You're right.
I hate her. I really hate her.
Why do rich people behave like that?
Among rich people, Julia is the worst of the worst.
Aw, geez!
I don't even want to see her face!
I wish the vacation would come soon and she'd go home.
I'm the first-year student Julia Pendleton.
Well... I'd like to see my student profile. There's been a mistake.
Which dormitory are you in?
The Fergusson dormitory.
Let's see...
I can do it myself, since you're busy.
Really?
Thank you.
Now I'll know Judy's family background.
Anyway, she's not from such a good background.
There she is.
Only her name is written.
There's no birthplace or anything.
What's the meaning of this?
Is there a mistake like you thought?
Oh, that's... Judy Abbott's profile, isn't it?
Oh, that's right.
I couldn't find anything... like you said.
Geez, that Julia...
What is she trying to do?
Thanks for all your hard work.
Miss Sloan, do you have a minute?
What is it?
Has there ever been a case of a student profile with no birthplace or address listed?
Let me see...
If a board member thinks that the individual will have a disadvantage by...
listing their birthplace and address it may not be included.
What do you mean?
A prestigious school like this one does not have anything like that,
but someone who comes from a correctional institution or an orphanage...
An orphanage?
She's researching my background!
What'll I do?
So, why do you ask?
No, I was just wondering. Thank you very much.
Oh, so you'll be spending the Christmas vacation here?
Y-Yes.
Daddy is very busy, and I want to take my time reading books in the library...
But if your Daddy isn't here, there must be someone else, right?
In your mansion?
So even with that, why do you want to stay in the dorm?
"Why"... you say...
Like I said, I want to read some books.
Then they'll be sending your Christmas presents here, right?
Presents?
Because you'll be staying here, right?
Y-Yes.
They'll come here.
I see. You must be looking forward to it.
Even though your parents have passed away, you must have...
many relatives, aunties and uncles, and such.
What will you do if you don't have anyone?
To think that you're like an orphan!
I do! I have many relatives!
In Florida, California, but they live far away.
Oh, then you'll be receiving lots of presents, won't you?
I know!
After the vacation, let's show each other what presents we received!
W-Well... that's a good idea!
My aunt from Boston said that she'd Send me a hat, but...
what will my uncle send me?
I'm looking forward to it!
Say, what are you getting, Judy?
Um... I don't know.
Well... it's always a secret... and their hobby is to surprise me!
Really?
I'm really looking forward to it, Judy.
Then it's a promise.
We'll show each other our presents.
What?
Yeah.
That was my response... but...
What'll I do if they find out the truth about me?
Why don't you ask the orphanage to give you some presents?
You don't have to be embarrassed, Judy.
We have a duty to be charitable to those who are poor.
So, what do you want?
Go ahead and tell me.
That's right. This happened because I looked at her silk stockings.
I don't want them.
I do NOT want silk stockings.
I can't stay here.
If they find out the truth about me, I won't be able to stay here any longer.
No matter how much Daddy Long Legs tries to help me...
I won't be able to stay here any longer.
What'll I do?
Let's see... who's next?
Oh, I'm Judy Abbott.
Judy... Judy...
Oh, this package arrived for you in addition to the usual check.
What could it be?
Thank you, Harry-san.
This is also from Mr. Griggs.
Merry Christmas.
As per John Smith's instructions, I have sent you this present.
It's a Christmas present!
What?
Gold coins!
These are gold coins!
This is great!
Hey, these are gold coins! Gold coins!
Here, look! They're gold coins!
Hey, look at this! They're gold coins!
There are five of them!
They're my Christmas present!
Oh, this is wonderful!
All right!
Now no one can say that I didn't get any Christmas presents!
This won't do!
It'll be too much of a coincidence if every relative sent me a gold coin!
I wonder where Judy went.
I don't know.
Maybe she won't come back anymore.
What do you mean?
You'll know soon enough.
Come in, it's unlocked.
Sallie, open the door please.
It's me, Judy.
Judy! Hold on.
What happened, Judy?
My presents arrived!
They sent them too early!
These are all for you?
That's amazing!
No way!
Hey, can I open them?
Of course you can!
Anyway, we made a promise to show each other our Christmas presents after the vacation.
Right, Julia?
T-That's right.
A silver watch!
How nice!
Oh, that's from Daddy.
He kept saying that he would send me one.
Oh, what a lovely blanket!
It's from my aunt in Florida.
I told her that I simply LOVE reading!
They're so cute!
Oh, a leg warmer!
You got these presents!?
What kind relatives!
Oh, these are silk stockings!
I beat her!
Oh, they even sent that!?
I don't really like silk stockings because I'd seem like a rich person, but...
But they sent it all the way here, so it'd be rude not to wear them.
This is from my aunt in Florida, this is from my Uncle Harry in California.
If I don't remember it properly, I won't be able to keep my story straight.
Daddy Long Legs, I used your gold coins for these presents.
I deeply regret buying these silk stockings, and I have a very selfish motivation behind it.
I'm a worthless human being for showing these off.
I really regret it, but I really, really wanted these!
Thank you for the really lovely Christmas present.
From Judy, who can stay here after the vacation.
Oh no! Oh no!
Oh noooo!
No!!
No!
No! No!
All right!
The poem I wrote was published in the school magazine!
Daddy will be so happy that he'll surely write a letter!
The next episode is: The Letter Thrown Away Into the Rubbish Bin!
You've gotta see it!
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.
