AKAGE NO ANNE
Hizume no oto
A carriage goes through the gentle hills
Yuruyakana oka wo nutte
Kaketekuru basha
Someone comes to pick me up
Mukae ni kuru no mukae ni kuru no ne
And takes me
Dare ka ga
Watashi wo tsureteyuku no ne
Shiroi hana no michi he
To the avenue with white flowers
To the home of wind
Kaze no furusato he
He takes me
Tsureteyuku no ne
I'm sure
Tsureteyuku no ne
Peace on Earth
We should be going home.
Anne decided not to go to the university.
And to be a teacher. The news spread quickly.
Everyone is talking about it.
Most do not know Marilla's condition.
They thought Anne pitiful.
But Mrs Allen knows better.
She told Anne she supported her decision.
Anne was deeply moved.
That night.
Marilla and Anne enjoy the evening's warmth together.
Facing the garden, they're bathed in the light of the evening sun.
They enjoy the minty smell in the air.
This has become their habit.
It's mint... What?
I smell mint.
Yes.
It's nice.
Yes.
Mrs Lynde is here.
Good evening, Mrs Lynde.
You're sitting here again?
You've been here rather often lately.
Anne dragged me out.
The feeling of sitting here is nice, I don't mind sitting the whole day.
Well, it's not easy finding a uniform for a hundred pound person.
Bless you Marilla, thank God you're not fat.
Yes.
Right, Anne, I heard that you're not going to the university.
That's great.
She had enough education for a girl.
No point studying boys' stuffs like Latin or Greek.
I don't agree at all.
Mrs Lynde, even if I don't go to the university...
I intend to study Latin and Greek.
Why?
I'm going to study for a Literature degree in the Green Gables.
I intend to learn everything the university has to offer.
Anne Shirley, you'll be exhausted.
I wouldn't.
Really, I know what I'm doing.
I'm not a genius, but I intend to work hard.
But we'll have more time in the winter.
I can't go to the exams anyway.
I have to teach in Carmody, right?
What's going on?
I thought you're teaching in Avonlea?
The council has decided on that.
Mrs Lynde.
Didn't the council decide to employ Gilbert?
Yes, but he withdrew the moment he knew you applied.
The school had a meeting yesterday night.
Gilbert came to express his intention to withdraw his application.
He recommended you instead.
He's going to White Sands to teach.
I think he gave it up for your sake.
He understands that you want to keep Marilla company.
He's a sweet kid.
Such a big sacrifice.
He has to spend on lodging if he teaches in White Sands.
He's trying to save for university.
Anyway, the council decides to employ you instead.
I was so happy for you when my husband told me that.
I cannot accept this...
I cannot allow Gilbert to sacrifice himself for me.
You can't change that now.
He's going to White Sands today, he probably got his employment letter.
He's already signed papers with the White Sands trustees.
Stay here. Accept his help this time.
You'll get along all right, now that there are no Pyes going.
Josie was the last of them, and its a good thing she was.
For 20 years, there's always been a Pye in the school.
But talk about their function...
Everyone is unhappy with them.
Who's window is flashing? What's the matter?
That's Diana's code for me.
Code?
Yes, she asks me to go over now.
We used to communicate like that.
Sorry, I need to go see what's going on.
Don't come home too late.
Alright.
Anne is still rather childish.
So what?
She's much like a lady now.
Marilla regains her crispness for a moment.
But that is no longer Marilla's specialty.
Mrs Lynde went home and told her husband Thomas.
Marilla Cuthbert has mellowed out.
Meanwhile, Anne is going to Diana's place.
She's in the forest, but she couldn't think about Diana.
Her mind is completely filled by Gilbert.
Diana sent the code because Ms Joseph Barry is here.
She would like to talk to Anne.
Anne, I was shocked when Diana told me.
I thought you had became an idiot.
It seems otherwise.
It's so tough, no one understands this more than I do.
Why did you abandon the scholarship? It was not easy to get.
Aunt, Anne has her reasons.
No, I must know.
You're not troubling anyone.
You don't have to pay for university.
What are you doing giving up such a good opportunity?
You'll regret it for life!
I was shocked too when I heard.
Everyone here extended their congratulations.
It's really a pity.
I don't care about this honour.
Tell me, Anne, what's wrong?
You don't want to go to university?
If you don't want to go, then I can stop talking.
But I will not give up if Marilla asked you to give up University.
Aunt.
Be silent!
Matthew had just passed away, you must have been busy.
Marilla must be lonely.
But compared to me, Marilla is still young.
Who doesn't grow old?
To tie Anne down, who's not even her adopted daughter.
She's too selfish.
And too pathetic.
Ms Barry, when Marilla first heard that I'm to give up the scholarship.
She was against it, she didn't want me to sacrifice it for her.
I chose to give up the scholarship.
I don't regret it, actually, I'm glad I did that.
Even a hundred ton of dynamite...
couldn't change my decision to stay with Marilla in the Green Gables.
Even though I don't really understand.
But your expression tells me that I'm too overly concerned.
I shouldn't have worried for you.
Ms Barry, you have a kind heart, thanks for caring for me.
I'll never let anyone down again.
No matter what others may think of me.
This time, I get to see, what I didn't see in the past.
The strength and warmth of a human heart.
These are my tests, so that my heart will be as strong as everybody's.
Well, since you're sure.
I believe you have your own reasons.
I will say no more.
Ms Barry...
Send my regards to Mr Barry, I have to trouble him on the lands.
We're the one who's benefiting.
I'm going then, Marilla's waiting for me.
Night, Diana.
Good night, Anne.
Marilla is very fortunate to have a kid like that with her.
I'm a little jealous.
Aunt Josephine.
Anne, you're going to the graves again?
Yes, I'm worried about the new roses.
Oh, you have letters, 2 of them.
So many?
This is it.
Thank you.
It's from Miss Stacy, and Stella.
Can I read them here?
Go ahead.
Dear Anne, I have good news.
I'm accepted by the Redmond University.
I can study with you again.
I'm so excited I write to you immediately.
When are you going to school?
Let me know once you have a date, I'll go pick you up.
Congratulations, Stella.
Matthew, thanks to Gilbert, I can stay here.
I'm not a genius, but I'll try to be a good teacher.
I'll be as good as Miss Stacy.
I'll come see you again.
The letter is just as what Anne expected.
It's a congratulation letter on Anne getting the scholarship.
Reading the letter...
Anne remembered Miss Stacy writing on the black board.
Anne. Anne...
Mrs Allen.
I see, but it's great to know you're staying here.
Yes.
I hope that everyone from Queen's...
will become a teacher here.
You'll do wonderful things if you all work together.
You'll be there as well, right?
Of course.
Gilbert, thanks for letting me have the job.
I want to show my appreciation.
Anne, it's really nothing.
I'm glad I could help.
So we're even now?
Are you willing to forgive me?
I've already forgiven you when we're on the boat.
It's just that I didn't realised.
I'm such an idiot.
I've regretted about this since the very beginning.
We'll definitely become good friends.
Anne, I think we're born to become friends.
You've been going against destiny.
Do you intend to go on studying?
Yes.
Me too. We can help each other.
We sure can.
Yap, we sure can.
Come, I'll send you home.
Anne came back with a boy?
Who's that?
I'm home, sorry I'm late.
Anne, welcome home.
You're not going back to your room yet?
Don't worry too much.
Martin will help me, its not hurting my eyes.
I can do it myself.
Thank you, Marilla.
Anne, who sent you home?
It's Gilbert.
I went to extend my thanks for letting me have the job.
You're friendly with Gilbert now?
You two were standing there for 30 minutes.
Not so friendly I guess, we used to be adversaries..
but I think it'll mean a lot if we can become good friends.
Right, we really stood there for 30 minutes?
Yes.
I thought it was more like 3 minutes.
But Marilla, it's not too long, considering the 5 years we've wasted.
Yes.
Alright, you want tea.
Sure.
That night, after sending Marilla back to her room.
Anne wrote back to Stella and Miss Stacy.
She explained to them, and she ponders and think.
The night breeze brought fragrances from the cherry blossom.
Stars glitter above the forest.
Within the leaves.
Anne could see the codes from Diana.
My horizon came back to the Green Gables.
It may seem a little extreme.
No matter how narrow my road is.
I can still find flowers blooming.
It's as if work, dreams...
And true friendship are all waiting for me.
The road might be filled with corners.
There're full of unknowns after a turn.
But I believe that there will be dreams and hopes.
Walking slowly on this narrow road.
Rather than running on a broad open horizon.
I'll have more of the beauty and warmth.
I will not forget the mountains on the other side of the horizon.
But the world that I've created with my imagination.
No one can take it from me.
I do not regret this.
That's why I can write back now.
Just like it was in a book...
God is in Heaven, All is well on Earth.
