00:01:42,486 --> 00:01:46,357
Excuse me. I was looking
for the Weekly Volcano office.
3
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:48,024
I wish to see
Mr. Dashwood.
4
00:01:50,993 --> 00:01:54,665
A friend of mine desired me
to offer a story by her.
5
00:01:54,798 --> 00:01:56,767
She... She wrote it.
6
00:01:56,899 --> 00:01:58,868
She'd be glad to write more
if this suits.
7
00:01:59,001 --> 00:02:00,671
Not a first attempt,
I take it.
8
00:02:00,804 --> 00:02:03,474
No, sir. She has sold
to Olympic and Scandal,
9
00:02:03,607 --> 00:02:06,543
and she got a prize for a tale
at the Blarneystone Banner.
10
00:02:06,677 --> 00:02:08,345
A prize?
11
00:02:09,847 --> 00:02:10,913
Yes.
12
00:02:12,816 --> 00:02:14,183
Sit.
13
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:57,428
We'll take this.
14
00:02:59,128 --> 00:03:00,264
Oh, you will?
15
00:03:00,397 --> 00:03:03,467
With alterations.
It's too long.
16
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,803
Um, but you've cut...
17
00:03:07,538 --> 00:03:09,972
I took care to have
a few of my sinners repent.
18
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:11,974
The country just
went through a war.
19
00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:15,446
People want to be amused,
not preached at.
20
00:03:15,579 --> 00:03:17,481
Morals don't sell nowadays.
21
00:03:17,614 --> 00:03:20,584
Perhaps mention that
to your friend.
22
00:03:23,253 --> 00:03:26,022
What compensation...?
How do you...?
23
00:03:26,155 --> 00:03:28,459
We pay 25 to 30
for things of this sort.
24
00:03:28,592 --> 00:03:30,794
- We'll pay 20 for that.
- Oh.
25
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:36,266
You can have it.
Make the edits.
26
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,175
Should I tell my...
uh, my friend
27
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:48,779
you'll take another
if she had one better than this?
28
00:03:48,912 --> 00:03:51,515
We'll look at it. Tell her
to make it short and spicy.
29
00:03:51,648 --> 00:03:53,383
And if the main character's
a girl,
30
00:03:53,517 --> 00:03:56,152
make sure she's married
by the end.
31
00:03:56,286 --> 00:03:58,822
- Or dead. Either way.
- Excuse me?
32
00:03:58,956 --> 00:04:02,124
What name would she like
put to the story?
33
00:04:02,259 --> 00:04:05,963
Oh, uh, yes.
None at all, if you please.
34
00:04:06,095 --> 00:04:07,798
Just as she likes,
of course.
35
00:04:07,931 --> 00:04:10,099
Oh, well, heh...
36
00:04:10,233 --> 00:04:13,704
Good morning, sir. Good day.
37
00:04:13,837 --> 00:04:15,305
Yes!
38
00:04:52,442 --> 00:04:54,945
My Beth would
like you very much.
39
00:04:55,077 --> 00:04:56,413
I'd like a room for two.
40
00:04:56,547 --> 00:04:58,715
Perfect. That's 4.50 a week.
41
00:04:58,849 --> 00:05:00,417
And that's a good price.
42
00:05:00,551 --> 00:05:02,118
Isn't that a little expensive?
43
00:05:02,252 --> 00:05:04,588
This is a
boardinghouse, not a charity.
44
00:05:04,721 --> 00:05:06,690
I need the rent on time.
45
00:05:12,796 --> 00:05:14,598
Good
afternoon, Miss March.
46
00:05:14,731 --> 00:05:16,667
Oh, good afternoon.
47
00:05:23,807 --> 00:05:25,275
You're on fire.
48
00:05:25,409 --> 00:05:26,710
Thank you.
49
00:05:29,713 --> 00:05:30,981
You're on fire!
50
00:05:34,685 --> 00:05:37,888
- Thank you.
- I have the same habit. You see?
51
00:05:39,221 --> 00:05:40,724
Oh.
52
00:05:40,857 --> 00:05:42,693
Kitty and Minnie are waiting.
53
00:05:42,826 --> 00:05:45,929
- Oh, my students need me.
- Always working.
54
00:05:46,063 --> 00:05:49,600
Money is the end and aim
of my mercenary existence.
55
00:05:49,733 --> 00:05:51,868
No one gets
ink stains like yours
56
00:05:52,002 --> 00:05:53,704
just out of
a desire for money.
57
00:05:53,837 --> 00:05:55,204
My sister Amy's in Paris,
58
00:05:55,339 --> 00:05:57,574
and until she marries
someone obscenely wealthy,
59
00:05:57,708 --> 00:05:59,776
it's up to me
to keep the family afloat.
60
00:05:59,910 --> 00:06:01,177
Goodbye.
61
00:06:22,733 --> 00:06:25,802
The Decadents have
ruined Paris, if you ask me.
62
00:06:25,936 --> 00:06:28,372
These French women
couldn't lift a hairbrush.
63
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,707
- Amy!
- Hm?
64
00:06:30,841 --> 00:06:32,042
I said, these French women
65
00:06:32,174 --> 00:06:33,443
couldn't lift a hairbrush.
66
00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:36,113
Oh, yes. Very true,
Aunt March.
67
00:06:36,245 --> 00:06:38,682
Oh, don't humor me, girl.
68
00:06:40,317 --> 00:06:43,120
What do they write,
your troublemaking family?
69
00:06:43,253 --> 00:06:46,657
Mother doesn't say
anything about Beth.
70
00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:48,925
I feel I should go back.
They all say, "Stay."
71
00:06:49,059 --> 00:06:51,261
You can do nothing
if you go back.
72
00:06:51,395 --> 00:06:53,263
The girl is sick,
not lonely.
73
00:06:53,397 --> 00:06:55,932
And you shouldn't go home
until you and Fred Vaughn
74
00:06:56,066 --> 00:06:58,200
are properly engaged.
75
00:06:58,335 --> 00:06:59,870
Yes, and until I've completed
76
00:07:00,003 --> 00:07:01,838
all of my painting lessons,
of course.
77
00:07:03,507 --> 00:07:05,509
Oh, yes, yes.
78
00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:07,978
Of course.
79
00:07:15,419 --> 00:07:17,621
- Stop the carriage! Laurie!
- What are you doing?
80
00:07:17,754 --> 00:07:19,823
- Laurie, Laurie, Laurie!
- Amy!
81
00:07:19,956 --> 00:07:21,725
- Laurie! Ha, ha!
- Amy!
82
00:07:21,858 --> 00:07:23,393
Amy!
83
00:07:23,527 --> 00:07:24,728
- How are you?
- Oh!
84
00:07:24,861 --> 00:07:26,228
My, you've grown so much.
85
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:28,065
You wrote you'd meet me
at the hotel.
86
00:07:28,197 --> 00:07:30,500
- I couldn't find you.
- You didn't look hard enough.
87
00:07:30,634 --> 00:07:32,703
I didn't recognize you.
You're so beautiful.
88
00:07:32,836 --> 00:07:34,236
- Oh, stop it.
- I thought you liked that?
89
00:07:34,371 --> 00:07:36,073
- Where's your grandfather?
- In Germany.
90
00:07:36,205 --> 00:07:38,575
He's still traveling.
I'm on my own now, relaxing.
91
00:07:38,709 --> 00:07:41,678
- Flirting, gambling and drinking.
- Yes. Don't tell your mother.
92
00:07:41,812 --> 00:07:44,514
Are you chasing
some young girl across Europe?
93
00:07:44,648 --> 00:07:46,083
No.
94
00:07:48,151 --> 00:07:50,921
I couldn't believe Jo
turned you down. I'm so sorry.
95
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:54,191
Don't be, Amy. I... I'm not.
96
00:07:55,826 --> 00:07:57,160
Amy!
97
00:07:57,294 --> 00:07:58,495
Amy March!
98
00:07:58,628 --> 00:08:00,430
- Come back this instant!
- Oh, Aunt March.
99
00:08:00,564 --> 00:08:02,899
Come. Come on.
100
00:08:03,033 --> 00:08:04,901
- Aren't you looking grand?
- Get him off me!
101
00:08:05,035 --> 00:08:06,636
We need to be somewhere.
Off you go!
102
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:08,271
Come to
the New Year's Eve party.
103
00:08:08,405 --> 00:08:10,207
Everyone will be there,
including Fred.
104
00:08:10,340 --> 00:08:12,409
Pick me up at the hotel
at 8, The Chavain.
105
00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:15,746
Oh! And, Laurie,
dress for festivities!
106
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:17,380
Top hats and silks!
107
00:08:17,514 --> 00:08:19,516
I will.
I'll wear my best silk.
108
00:08:25,155 --> 00:08:27,057
It's Laurie.
109
00:08:28,425 --> 00:08:29,960
I know.
110
00:08:39,136 --> 00:08:41,138
Twenty yards of blue silk,
as well as pink.
111
00:08:41,271 --> 00:08:42,773
Someone will be by for it later.
112
00:08:42,906 --> 00:08:45,108
Oh, Meg, that would
look so lovely on you.
113
00:08:45,242 --> 00:08:46,977
I know the dressmaker
to send you to.
114
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:48,945
You'll be the prettiest wife
in Concord.
115
00:08:49,079 --> 00:08:51,448
Oh, I... John needs
a new coat for winter,
116
00:08:51,581 --> 00:08:53,183
and Daisy and Demi
need new clothes.
117
00:08:53,316 --> 00:08:55,185
And his wife
needs a new dress.
118
00:08:55,318 --> 00:08:57,687
I can't. It's...
I just can't.
119
00:08:57,821 --> 00:09:00,090
He'll be so pleased
with how you look,
120
00:09:00,223 --> 00:09:02,159
he'll forget
all about the expense.
121
00:09:03,894 --> 00:09:06,163
I don't suppose it's too much
of an extravagance.
122
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:08,231
Will 20 yards do?
123
00:09:08,365 --> 00:09:10,901
- Yes.
- Very good.
124
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,741
Fifty dollars?
What was I thinking?
125
00:09:25,283 --> 00:09:26,917
Mommy!
126
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:30,821
Oh, my loves.
127
00:09:33,623 --> 00:09:34,691
Go play.
128
00:10:04,821 --> 00:10:06,489
Beth!
129
00:10:07,924 --> 00:10:08,992
Beth?
130
00:10:09,125 --> 00:10:11,127
There lies your way,
due west.
131
00:10:11,262 --> 00:10:13,029
Then westward ho!
132
00:10:13,163 --> 00:10:16,533
Grace and good disposition
attend Your Ladyship.
133
00:10:16,666 --> 00:10:19,236
You'll nothing, madam,
to my lord by me?
134
00:10:19,402 --> 00:10:23,874
Stay, I prithee,
tell me what thou thinkest of me.
135
00:10:24,007 --> 00:10:26,910
That you do think
you are not what you are.
136
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:29,179
If I think so,
I think the same of you.
137
00:10:29,313 --> 00:10:31,848
Then think you
right, I am not what I am.
138
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:01,444
Like, a big one.
Like, a big one... Like that.
139
00:11:05,415 --> 00:11:07,117
Excuse me?
140
00:11:07,251 --> 00:11:09,920
I only speak English.
I'm sorry, what?
141
00:11:10,053 --> 00:11:11,454
- What did you say?
- Come dance!
142
00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:13,089
Oh!
143
00:12:05,343 --> 00:12:07,345
I know exactly
who I wanna dance with.
144
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:08,511
I'll take this off.
145
00:12:08,645 --> 00:12:10,180
Who will you dance with, Jo?
146
00:12:10,314 --> 00:12:11,748
You know I never dance.
147
00:12:11,881 --> 00:12:13,950
Why can't we all go?
It's not fair.
148
00:12:14,084 --> 00:12:16,820
- Wear your regular shoes.
- These fit last winter.
149
00:12:16,953 --> 00:12:19,022
My nose will simply
not look refined.
150
00:12:19,155 --> 00:12:20,324
I like your nose.
151
00:12:20,458 --> 00:12:22,125
- Now, Jo.
- Don't touch me.
152
00:12:22,259 --> 00:12:24,261
I feel ridiculous.
I don't wanna look it.
153
00:12:24,395 --> 00:12:25,862
You could be pretty
if you tried.
154
00:12:25,996 --> 00:12:27,864
- Don't want to. Won't.
- I don't want to go,
155
00:12:27,998 --> 00:12:29,532
but I wish
I could hear the music.
156
00:12:29,666 --> 00:12:31,435
I'll keep it in my head
and sing it for you.
157
00:12:31,568 --> 00:12:34,170
- Ought they to smoke like that?
- It's the dampness drying.
158
00:12:34,305 --> 00:12:36,307
What a queer smell,
like burnt feathers.
159
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,175
Now I'll take this off and
you'll see a perfect ringlet.
160
00:12:41,978 --> 00:12:43,481
Why is her hair off?
161
00:12:43,613 --> 00:12:45,882
- Meg, I'm so sorry.
- What have you done?!
162
00:12:47,183 --> 00:12:48,218
I'm sorry.
163
00:12:48,352 --> 00:12:49,753
You shouldn't have
asked me.
164
00:12:49,886 --> 00:12:51,422
Marmee!
165
00:12:51,554 --> 00:12:53,424
I can't go, I'm spoiled!
166
00:12:53,556 --> 00:12:55,191
My hair!
167
00:12:55,326 --> 00:12:57,527
Don't stare, don't put
your hands behind your back,
168
00:12:57,660 --> 00:12:59,596
don't say "Columbus,"
don't say "capital."
169
00:12:59,729 --> 00:13:01,097
- All right.
- Don't shake hands.
170
00:13:01,231 --> 00:13:02,333
Don't whistle.
171
00:13:02,466 --> 00:13:04,834
Meg March,
you look so pretty.
172
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:07,704
Well...
173
00:13:07,837 --> 00:13:09,572
Meg.
174
00:13:25,188 --> 00:13:26,424
Thank you.
175
00:13:27,991 --> 00:13:29,659
No, it's so early. No.
176
00:13:29,793 --> 00:13:31,328
Fine.
177
00:13:46,510 --> 00:13:48,945
Ooh! Sorry. I didn't know
anyone was here.
178
00:13:49,079 --> 00:13:51,581
- Not at all. Stay if you like.
- I won't disturb you?
179
00:13:51,714 --> 00:13:53,583
No. I don't know
many people here.
180
00:13:53,716 --> 00:13:55,585
I felt rather strange
at first, you know?
181
00:13:55,718 --> 00:13:57,555
Mm, so do I. Heh.
182
00:13:57,687 --> 00:13:59,656
Miss March, isn't it?
183
00:13:59,789 --> 00:14:02,625
Yes, Mr. Laurence, but I'm not
Miss March. I'm only Jo.
184
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:04,761
And I'm not Mr. Laurence,
I'm only Laurie.
185
00:14:10,301 --> 00:14:11,668
Don't you dance?
186
00:14:11,801 --> 00:14:13,636
I don't know
how you do things here yet.
187
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:15,473
I've spent most
of my life in Europe.
188
00:14:15,605 --> 00:14:17,274
Europe! Oh, that's capital!
189
00:14:18,741 --> 00:14:20,643
Shouldn't use
words like that.
190
00:14:21,778 --> 00:14:23,646
- Says who?
- Oh, Meg.
191
00:14:23,780 --> 00:14:25,715
She's my older sister. Here.
192
00:14:27,951 --> 00:14:29,752
Hm...
193
00:14:29,886 --> 00:14:31,489
Oh, that's her. See?
194
00:14:33,524 --> 00:14:36,460
- The girl in the violet dress.
- Mm. It's very pretty.
195
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,162
She reminds me to be good
196
00:14:39,296 --> 00:14:42,266
so Father will be proud of me
when he returns.
197
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:43,766
Where is he?
198
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:46,002
He volunteered
for the Union Army.
199
00:14:46,136 --> 00:14:48,204
And I wanted
to go fight with him.
200
00:14:48,339 --> 00:14:51,841
I can't get over my
disappointment in being a girl.
201
00:14:51,975 --> 00:14:54,043
Jo, would you like
to dance with me?
202
00:14:54,177 --> 00:14:55,812
I can't because...
203
00:14:55,945 --> 00:14:57,281
Because of what?
204
00:15:00,016 --> 00:15:02,152
- You won't tell?
- Never.
205
00:15:03,786 --> 00:15:05,822
I scorched my dress.
See? There.
206
00:15:05,955 --> 00:15:09,326
And Meg told me to keep still
so no one would see it.
207
00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:12,563
You can laugh if you want to.
It's funny, I know.
208
00:15:12,695 --> 00:15:15,698
I have an idea
of how we can manage.
209
00:15:29,446 --> 00:15:30,847
Oh!
210
00:16:14,824 --> 00:16:16,527
- What?
- My foot.
211
00:16:16,660 --> 00:16:17,961
- I've hurt my ankle.
- Oh!
212
00:16:18,094 --> 00:16:19,195
How am I gonna get home?
213
00:16:19,330 --> 00:16:20,598
I don't see what you can do,
214
00:16:20,730 --> 00:16:22,566
except get a carriage
or stay all night.
215
00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:24,767
- Carriages are too expensive.
- Let me take you.
216
00:16:24,901 --> 00:16:26,537
- It's right next door.
- No, thank you.
217
00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:29,440
- We cannot accept.
- You must take mine, please?
218
00:16:29,573 --> 00:16:32,108
No. It's so early.
You can't mean to leave yet.
219
00:16:32,242 --> 00:16:34,244
I always leave early.
I do, truly.
220
00:16:34,378 --> 00:16:36,347
What choice
do you have, hm?
221
00:16:39,148 --> 00:16:41,217
Goodness gracious.
What have you done?
222
00:16:41,352 --> 00:16:43,287
She's lame and can't walk.
She's hobbling.
223
00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:46,189
Clear that chair.
You're supposed to be asleep.
224
00:16:46,323 --> 00:16:48,392
Help your sister,
then back to bed.
225
00:16:48,525 --> 00:16:50,527
Make room.
Meg is a wounded soldier.
226
00:16:50,661 --> 00:16:53,297
- I sprained my ankle.
- Oh, Meg, you'll kill yourself
227
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:55,666
for fashion
one of these days.
228
00:16:55,798 --> 00:16:59,102
Here. Hannah, we need ice!
229
00:16:59,235 --> 00:17:01,472
- Oh, come in. Come in.
- Is it all right?
230
00:17:01,605 --> 00:17:03,072
Apologies for the chaos.
231
00:17:03,206 --> 00:17:05,141
I enjoy baking
in the middle of the night.
232
00:17:05,276 --> 00:17:07,478
Don't mind the clutter,
Mr. Laurence. We don't.
233
00:17:07,611 --> 00:17:08,679
Laurie, please.
234
00:17:08,811 --> 00:17:11,180
- Can I call you Teddy?
- Yes.
235
00:17:11,315 --> 00:17:13,417
You must be part
of their theatricals.
236
00:17:13,550 --> 00:17:15,486
- They could use an extra player.
- I'm Amy.
237
00:17:15,619 --> 00:17:16,953
- Hello.
- You'll have to fight Jo
238
00:17:17,086 --> 00:17:19,022
for the male roles
or play a girl.
239
00:17:19,155 --> 00:17:20,923
- Have a scone.
- Yes, thank you.
240
00:17:21,057 --> 00:17:23,294
And ice.
Laurie, how are your ankles?
241
00:17:23,427 --> 00:17:25,729
- Do you need ice?
- No, thank you, ma'am.
242
00:17:25,862 --> 00:17:28,299
Just call me "mother" or Marmee.
Everyone does.
243
00:17:29,733 --> 00:17:31,468
You wore those pink shoes?
244
00:17:31,602 --> 00:17:33,836
Ah, It's cold.
245
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:36,939
- But they look so good, okay?
- Do you want more ice?
246
00:17:37,073 --> 00:17:38,808
Feels like being
a fine young lady
247
00:17:38,941 --> 00:17:40,778
to come home from a party
in a carriage
248
00:17:40,910 --> 00:17:42,912
and have maids wait on me. Ah!
249
00:18:52,014 --> 00:18:54,150
For the writer in the attic.
250
00:18:54,284 --> 00:18:57,053
Because you enjoyed
the play so much tonight,
251
00:18:57,186 --> 00:18:59,889
I wanted you to have this.
252
00:19:00,022 --> 00:19:04,927
It will help you study character
and paint it with your pen.
253
00:19:05,061 --> 00:19:07,096
I would love to read
what you're writing,
254
00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:09,065
if you'll trust me.
255
00:19:09,198 --> 00:19:13,704
I promise honesty and whatever
intelligence I can muster.
256
00:19:13,837 --> 00:19:15,873
Yours, Friedrich.
257
00:19:37,694 --> 00:19:40,129
- Fred, would you like a glass?
- I will. Thank you.
258
00:19:47,805 --> 00:19:49,138
Would you excuse me
a second?
259
00:19:56,713 --> 00:19:58,482
Laurie.
260
00:19:58,615 --> 00:19:59,783
Amy.
261
00:19:59,917 --> 00:20:01,418
I waited an hour for you.
262
00:20:03,085 --> 00:20:04,455
I feel caught.
263
00:20:06,323 --> 00:20:07,658
Hm.
264
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:10,960
Amy, please. Amy.
265
00:20:11,093 --> 00:20:12,930
Do you want to know
what I think of you?
266
00:20:13,062 --> 00:20:14,598
- What do you think?
- I despise you.
267
00:20:14,731 --> 00:20:16,533
- Why do you despise me?
- With every chance
268
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:18,167
of being good,
happy and useful,
269
00:20:18,302 --> 00:20:20,337
you are lazy, faulty
and miserable.
270
00:20:20,471 --> 00:20:22,171
- Ooh, interesting.
- Well, selfish people
271
00:20:22,306 --> 00:20:24,106
- like to talk about themselves.
- Selfish?
272
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,776
- Yes, very selfish.
- Oh.
273
00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:28,110
With your money, talent,
beauty, and health...
274
00:20:28,244 --> 00:20:29,513
Oh, you think
I'm beautiful.
275
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:31,348
Yes, you like that,
you old vanity.
276
00:20:31,482 --> 00:20:35,151
With good things to enjoy, you
find nothing to do but dawdle.
277
00:20:35,285 --> 00:20:38,622
I'll be good for you, St. Amy.
I'll be good.
278
00:20:38,755 --> 00:20:40,624
Aren't you ashamed
of a hand like that?
279
00:20:40,757 --> 00:20:42,459
- I'm not.
- Looks like it's never done
280
00:20:42,593 --> 00:20:45,194
a day of work in its life,
and that ring is ridiculous.
281
00:20:45,329 --> 00:20:46,763
Jo gave me this ring.
282
00:20:48,632 --> 00:20:51,802
I feel sorry for you.
I really do.
283
00:20:51,935 --> 00:20:53,470
I just wish
you'd bear it better.
284
00:20:53,604 --> 00:20:55,037
You don't have to feel sorry.
285
00:20:55,171 --> 00:20:57,474
- You'll feel the same one day.
- No, I'd be respected
286
00:20:57,608 --> 00:21:00,176
if I couldn't be loved.
287
00:21:00,310 --> 00:21:04,481
What have you done lately,
oh, great artiste?
288
00:21:04,615 --> 00:21:08,050
Perhaps you're fantasizing about
spending Fred Vaughn's fortune.
289
00:21:08,184 --> 00:21:10,654
Fred Vaughn,
ladies and gentlemen!
290
00:21:18,896 --> 00:21:20,531
Fred, I...
291
00:21:20,664 --> 00:21:21,832
I'm so sorry.
292
00:21:37,614 --> 00:21:39,650
Those are just stories,
of course.
293
00:21:43,020 --> 00:21:45,689
But I'm working on a novel.
294
00:21:45,822 --> 00:21:48,592
And your novel...
295
00:21:48,725 --> 00:21:50,059
it will be like this?
296
00:21:50,192 --> 00:21:53,263
Yes. So far, anyway.
297
00:21:53,397 --> 00:21:54,998
With plots like this?
298
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,404
- Duels and killing and...
- It sells, so...
299
00:22:00,537 --> 00:22:02,272
Why don't you sign
your real name?
300
00:22:02,406 --> 00:22:04,140
Oh, my mother
wouldn't like it.
301
00:22:06,108 --> 00:22:08,110
It's too gory for her.
302
00:22:08,244 --> 00:22:11,113
I wanna help with the money
I make and not worry her.
303
00:22:16,753 --> 00:22:17,988
Mm.
304
00:22:21,725 --> 00:22:23,994
You know, I...
I don't like them.
305
00:22:26,396 --> 00:22:27,998
Honestly, uh...
306
00:22:28,130 --> 00:22:31,735
I mean, I... I think
that they're not good.
307
00:22:37,608 --> 00:22:39,141
Uh, but...
308
00:22:40,377 --> 00:22:41,478
They're...
309
00:22:43,380 --> 00:22:45,247
They're published
in the papers,
310
00:22:45,382 --> 00:22:48,485
and people have always said
that I'm talented.
311
00:22:48,619 --> 00:22:50,821
Oh, I think you're talented.
312
00:22:50,954 --> 00:22:53,724
Which is why I'm being so...
So blunt.
313
00:22:56,026 --> 00:22:59,329
Well, I can't afford
to starve on praise.
314
00:22:59,463 --> 00:23:01,465
Are you upset?
315
00:23:01,598 --> 00:23:03,400
Of course I'm upset.
You just...
316
00:23:03,533 --> 00:23:05,134
You told me
you didn't like my work.
317
00:23:05,268 --> 00:23:06,803
Jo, I thought
you wanted honesty.
318
00:23:06,937 --> 00:23:09,940
I... Yes, I do.
319
00:23:10,073 --> 00:23:13,810
Has no one ever talked
to you like this before?
320
00:23:13,944 --> 00:23:15,779
Yes, I've been rejected
plenty of times.
321
00:23:15,912 --> 00:23:18,715
Do you have anyone
to take you seriously, Jo,
322
00:23:18,849 --> 00:23:21,351
- to talk about your work?
- And who made you high priest
323
00:23:21,485 --> 00:23:22,986
of what's good
and what's bad?
324
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,822
- No one, and I'm not...
- Then why are you acting like it?
325
00:23:25,956 --> 00:23:28,058
Your reaction indicates
there is some truth...
326
00:23:28,190 --> 00:23:31,193
My reaction indicates
that you are a pompous blowhard.
327
00:23:31,328 --> 00:23:32,863
Shakespeare wrote
for the masses.
328
00:23:32,996 --> 00:23:35,231
Shakespeare was the greatest
poet who ever lived
329
00:23:35,365 --> 00:23:37,634
because he smuggled his poetry
in popular works.
330
00:23:37,768 --> 00:23:39,870
- I'm no Shakespeare.
- Thank goodness.
331
00:23:40,003 --> 00:23:41,338
We already have him.
332
00:23:41,471 --> 00:23:42,806
If you know so much about it,
333
00:23:42,939 --> 00:23:44,608
why don't you just
do it yourself?
334
00:23:44,741 --> 00:23:47,010
Because I'm not a writer.
335
00:23:47,144 --> 00:23:50,013
- I don't have the gifts you have.
- No, you don't.
336
00:23:50,147 --> 00:23:52,783
You will always be a critic
and never an author.
337
00:23:52,916 --> 00:23:55,652
And the world will forget
that you ever even lived.
338
00:23:55,786 --> 00:23:58,187
- Oh, I'm sure they will.
- But...
339
00:23:58,321 --> 00:23:59,456
I... But I...
340
00:24:01,190 --> 00:24:03,694
No one will forget Jo March.
341
00:24:07,497 --> 00:24:09,399
I can believe it.
342
00:24:09,533 --> 00:24:10,567
Listen.
343
00:24:10,701 --> 00:24:11,902
We are not friends.
344
00:24:12,035 --> 00:24:14,438
You are not my friend.
345
00:24:14,571 --> 00:24:16,573
And I don't want your opinion
346
00:24:16,707 --> 00:24:18,375
because I don't
like you very much.
347
00:24:18,508 --> 00:24:20,677
So just don't talk
to me anymore. Thank you.
348
00:24:40,731 --> 00:24:43,366
Oh, Josephine,
this came for you.
349
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:44,901
Oh, thank you.
350
00:24:53,844 --> 00:24:55,512
Beth.
351
00:25:38,256 --> 00:25:40,524
Merry Christmas, world.
352
00:25:45,595 --> 00:25:47,164
Merry Christmas!
353
00:25:47,297 --> 00:25:49,900
- Merry Christmas.
- Give me another orange.
354
00:25:50,033 --> 00:25:52,469
- Jo, we've been up for hours.
- What have you been writing?
355
00:25:52,602 --> 00:25:54,671
Oh, I got carried away
with our revenge play
356
00:25:54,805 --> 00:25:55,772
last night, Poison.
357
00:25:55,906 --> 00:25:57,641
No, no poison.
It's Christmas.
358
00:25:57,774 --> 00:25:59,609
Won't be Christmas
without any presents.
359
00:25:59,743 --> 00:26:01,845
- It's dreadful being poor.
- It's not fair.
360
00:26:01,978 --> 00:26:03,747
How come some girls
have pretty things
361
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,015
and others have nothing?
362
00:26:05,148 --> 00:26:06,917
We have Father, Mother
and each other.
363
00:26:07,050 --> 00:26:09,586
We haven't got Father as
long as this war drags on.
364
00:26:09,719 --> 00:26:11,655
I wish I had money
and plenty of servants,
365
00:26:11,788 --> 00:26:12,856
so I never had to work.
366
00:26:12,989 --> 00:26:14,891
Or you could be
a proper actress.
367
00:26:15,025 --> 00:26:16,359
They aren't all fallen women.
368
00:26:16,493 --> 00:26:18,628
- I can't be an actress.
- I have lots of wishes,
369
00:26:18,762 --> 00:26:20,964
but my favorite one
is to be an artist in Paris
370
00:26:21,097 --> 00:26:23,834
and do fine pictures and be
the best painter in the world.
371
00:26:23,967 --> 00:26:26,203
That's what you want, Jo,
to be a famous writer?
372
00:26:26,336 --> 00:26:28,306
Yes, but it sounds crass
when she says it.
373
00:26:28,438 --> 00:26:29,673
- Why be ashamed?
- I'm not.
374
00:26:29,806 --> 00:26:30,907
My wish is to have us
375
00:26:31,041 --> 00:26:32,909
all be together
with Father and Mother.
376
00:26:33,043 --> 00:26:35,245
- That's what I want.
- Beth is perfect.
377
00:26:35,378 --> 00:26:37,315
- Amy.
- What about your music, huh?
378
00:26:37,447 --> 00:26:39,583
I do that for us. I don't need
anyone else to hear it.
379
00:26:39,716 --> 00:26:41,184
You must not limit yourself.
380
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:43,386
Mother proposed not having
presents this year
381
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,323
because men are suffering
in the Army.
382
00:26:45,455 --> 00:26:46,957
We can't do much,
but we can make
383
00:26:47,090 --> 00:26:48,859
our little sacrifices
and do it gladly.
384
00:26:48,992 --> 00:26:51,661
Don't play mother
just because she's not home.
385
00:26:51,795 --> 00:26:54,464
- Jo, that's so boyish.
- That's why I do it.
386
00:26:54,598 --> 00:26:58,001
- I detest rude, unladylike girls.
- I hate affected little chits.
387
00:26:58,134 --> 00:27:00,637
- Jo!
- My nose! My nose! Ow!
388
00:27:00,770 --> 00:27:02,739
It's already no good!
389
00:27:02,873 --> 00:27:04,074
Jo! Jo!
390
00:27:04,207 --> 00:27:05,809
I know you don't care
what I think,
391
00:27:05,942 --> 00:27:08,346
but you don't want your mother
to find you like this, do you?
392
00:27:08,478 --> 00:27:09,746
We care what you think.
393
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,748
You're more family
than old Aunt March.
394
00:27:11,882 --> 00:27:13,817
- Don't, Jo.
- Where is Marmee? I'm starving.
395
00:27:13,950 --> 00:27:16,786
Goodness only knows. Some
poor creature came a-begging.
396
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,222
Your ma set straight off
to see what was needed.
397
00:27:19,357 --> 00:27:21,958
I wish she could help others
at a time convenient to us.
398
00:27:22,092 --> 00:27:23,960
Joanna and I
are very hungry.
399
00:27:24,094 --> 00:27:26,429
- Dolls don't get hungry.
- I've rewritten the climax.
400
00:27:26,563 --> 00:27:28,932
We need to set it to memory.
Amy, get the costumes.
401
00:27:29,065 --> 00:27:31,034
I have made
the most divine crown,
402
00:27:31,167 --> 00:27:34,104
and I painted my old shoes blue,
so she looks like a princess!
403
00:27:34,237 --> 00:27:36,239
The melancholy piece
is pretty good.
404
00:27:36,374 --> 00:27:37,974
Wait until
you see this new speech.
405
00:27:38,108 --> 00:27:40,311
I don't see how you
write such splendid things.
406
00:27:40,443 --> 00:27:42,313
- You're a regular Shakespeare.
- Not quite.
407
00:27:42,445 --> 00:27:45,248
Miss Michelangelo, can you
rehearse the fainting scene?
408
00:27:45,383 --> 00:27:47,417
- You're as stiff as a poker.
- I can't help it.
409
00:27:47,550 --> 00:27:49,387
I never saw anyone faint.
I don't intend
410
00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:51,221
to make myself
all black and blue.
411
00:27:51,355 --> 00:27:53,056
If I can fall down easily,
I'll drop.
412
00:27:53,189 --> 00:27:55,592
If I cannot, I shall fall
gracefully into a chair.
413
00:27:55,725 --> 00:27:58,396
And I don't care if Hugo
comes at me with a pistol.
414
00:27:58,528 --> 00:27:59,863
- Hannah?
- I'm not acting.
415
00:27:59,996 --> 00:28:01,464
I didn't even say anything.
416
00:28:01,598 --> 00:28:03,934
I knew what you were going
to say. I'm not acting.
417
00:28:13,411 --> 00:28:16,913
I need both of you
to kneel right there.
418
00:28:17,047 --> 00:28:18,982
- I need you to kneel.
- I don't want to.
419
00:28:19,115 --> 00:28:21,151
This is supposed to be
our special scene.
420
00:28:21,285 --> 00:28:23,287
- No one's gonna be looking at us.
- Smile.
421
00:28:23,421 --> 00:28:24,955
- I don't want to.
- You have to.
422
00:28:25,088 --> 00:28:26,690
I think Meg should be
the director.
423
00:28:26,823 --> 00:28:28,825
So I think that
she'll need to kneel...
424
00:28:28,959 --> 00:28:31,429
- But it's our scene.
- If you'll kneel and look...
425
00:28:31,561 --> 00:28:32,963
Merry Christmas, girls.
426
00:28:33,096 --> 00:28:35,131
- Marmee!
- Oh, merry Christmas!
427
00:28:35,266 --> 00:28:38,768
I'm so glad to see you so happy.
How's your play?
428
00:28:38,902 --> 00:28:41,705
Jo, you look tired. Were you up
again all night writing?
429
00:28:41,838 --> 00:28:45,041
- Of course.
- Amy, come kiss me. Thank you.
430
00:28:45,175 --> 00:28:46,710
Merry Christmas.
How are my girls?
431
00:28:46,843 --> 00:28:48,412
- I'm so hungry.
- Look at this.
432
00:28:48,545 --> 00:28:51,147
- I could eat a horse.
- Don't say that, Jo.
433
00:28:52,949 --> 00:28:54,352
What?
434
00:28:55,618 --> 00:28:57,587
What is it?
435
00:28:57,721 --> 00:29:00,590
Not far from here lives
a poor young woman, Mrs. Hummel.
436
00:29:00,724 --> 00:29:03,526
Her five children are in one bed
to keep from freezing,
437
00:29:03,660 --> 00:29:05,495
and there's nothing to eat.
438
00:29:05,628 --> 00:29:07,331
Will you give them
your breakfast
439
00:29:07,465 --> 00:29:09,165
as a Christmas present?
440
00:29:14,004 --> 00:29:17,274
Is this where you say
that Father would want us to?
441
00:29:17,408 --> 00:29:18,708
Yes.
442
00:29:29,353 --> 00:29:30,887
Thank you.
443
00:29:31,021 --> 00:29:34,392
And thank you, Mr. Laurence,
for including me.
444
00:29:34,524 --> 00:29:35,558
You're welcome.
445
00:29:40,196 --> 00:29:43,367
Perhaps you could tutor
my grandson in manners,
446
00:29:43,501 --> 00:29:45,436
as well as mathematics,
huh?
447
00:29:53,310 --> 00:29:54,512
Oh, girls...
448
00:29:57,013 --> 00:29:58,482
Be careful.
449
00:30:01,452 --> 00:30:03,421
Watch yourselves.
450
00:30:03,553 --> 00:30:05,555
Out here with no sleeves.
451
00:30:20,637 --> 00:30:22,739
It is good angels come to us.
452
00:30:25,276 --> 00:30:29,879
Hello. I'm back.
And have food and blankets.
453
00:30:30,013 --> 00:30:31,315
And sweaters.
454
00:30:31,449 --> 00:30:33,149
And we brought some medicine.
455
00:30:33,284 --> 00:30:34,984
So these are my girls.
456
00:30:35,118 --> 00:30:36,152
Say hello.
457
00:30:36,287 --> 00:30:38,289
He is not well.
458
00:30:38,422 --> 00:30:40,790
Girls, why don't you
unpack the food?
459
00:30:40,924 --> 00:30:42,493
Would you like some?
460
00:30:46,229 --> 00:30:48,064
You want one?
461
00:30:48,198 --> 00:30:50,301
- Yeah, have it all.
- Why don't we get some firewood?
462
00:30:50,434 --> 00:30:51,668
It's good, isn't it?
463
00:30:55,372 --> 00:30:56,806
That's nice, huh?
464
00:31:02,446 --> 00:31:05,648
Marmee, we don't need our toes.
I think I've lost one.
465
00:31:05,782 --> 00:31:07,884
Has anyone else
lost their toe?
466
00:31:09,619 --> 00:31:11,555
- That was amazing.
- I can't feel my feet.
467
00:31:14,624 --> 00:31:17,760
- Is it fairies?
- Santa Claus.
468
00:31:17,894 --> 00:31:20,331
- It's Aunt March.
- Mr. Laurence sent it.
469
00:31:20,464 --> 00:31:22,732
- The Laurence boy's grandfather?
- Yes.
470
00:31:22,866 --> 00:31:24,100
- Why?
- He saw you
471
00:31:24,234 --> 00:31:25,935
giving your
Christmas breakfast away.
472
00:31:26,069 --> 00:31:27,438
He wanted you
to enjoy the day.
473
00:31:27,571 --> 00:31:29,306
I thought he was a mean old man.
474
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,474
It's so generous.
475
00:31:30,608 --> 00:31:31,674
His grandson, Laurie,
476
00:31:31,808 --> 00:31:33,143
put the idea into his head.
477
00:31:33,277 --> 00:31:35,678
I know he did.
We should make friends with him.
478
00:31:35,812 --> 00:31:39,015
Boys scare me, and that
big old house scares me.
479
00:31:39,149 --> 00:31:41,352
Jenny Snow says
Mr. Laurence disowned his son
480
00:31:41,485 --> 00:31:43,320
after he went off
with an Italian woman.
481
00:31:43,454 --> 00:31:45,054
Now his grandson
is an orphan
482
00:31:45,188 --> 00:31:47,991
and spends his time in that
house locked up with his tutor.
483
00:31:48,124 --> 00:31:50,327
He's a very kind man
who lost his little girl
484
00:31:50,461 --> 00:31:52,896
when she was only a child.
Now his son as well.
485
00:31:53,029 --> 00:31:54,731
- His daughter died?
- So sad.
486
00:31:54,864 --> 00:31:56,467
Doesn't Laurie
seem so romantic?
487
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,369
- He's half Italian.
- What do you know?
488
00:31:58,502 --> 00:31:59,969
You've barely spoken
to him. Ow!
489
00:32:00,103 --> 00:32:01,971
I'm not responsible
for this feast,
490
00:32:02,105 --> 00:32:03,274
but I have got a surprise.
491
00:32:04,475 --> 00:32:06,176
A letter from Father!
492
00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:07,877
Don't I wish I could go?
493
00:32:08,011 --> 00:32:10,046
Jo, we can't give up
our only brother.
494
00:32:10,180 --> 00:32:12,316
It must be so disagreeable
to sleep in a tent.
495
00:32:12,449 --> 00:32:14,552
Jo sits in back,
so we can't see her cry. Ow!
496
00:32:14,684 --> 00:32:16,387
- What if I do?
- Will he be coming home?
497
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,821
He'll stay and work faithfully
as long as he can.
498
00:32:18,955 --> 00:32:20,457
We won't ask
for him to come back
499
00:32:20,591 --> 00:32:22,493
a minute sooner
than he can be spared.
500
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,497
"Give them all
my dear love and a kiss.
501
00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:30,501
"Tell them I think of them
by day, pray for them by night
502
00:32:30,634 --> 00:32:33,671
"and find my best comforts
in their affection at all times.
503
00:32:33,803 --> 00:32:37,508
"A year seems a very long time
to wait before I see them.
504
00:32:37,641 --> 00:32:39,577
"But remind them
that while we wait,
505
00:32:39,709 --> 00:32:42,546
"we may all work,
so these hard days...
506
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,181
"need not be wasted.
507
00:32:45,316 --> 00:32:48,017
"I know that they will
be loving children to you.
508
00:32:49,420 --> 00:32:51,120
"Do their duty faithfully.
509
00:32:52,389 --> 00:32:54,123
"Fight their enemies bravely.
510
00:32:56,059 --> 00:32:58,696
And conquer themselves
so beautifully."
511
00:32:58,828 --> 00:33:01,699
The Witch's Curse,
a play by Jo March.
512
00:33:01,831 --> 00:33:06,002
Make it sweet
and swift and strong...
513
00:33:06,135 --> 00:33:08,004
"That when I
come back to them..."
514
00:33:08,137 --> 00:33:10,006
Spirit, answer now my song.
515
00:33:10,139 --> 00:33:12,509
"...I may be...
516
00:33:12,643 --> 00:33:15,044
fonder and prouder
than ever..."
517
00:33:17,013 --> 00:33:18,515
"of my little women."
518
00:33:20,083 --> 00:33:21,518
Brava!
519
00:33:25,088 --> 00:33:27,591
Excuse me. Excuse me.
520
00:33:27,725 --> 00:33:30,394
Excuse me.
Your stop, ma'am.
521
00:33:30,527 --> 00:33:32,563
Oh, thank you.
522
00:33:32,696 --> 00:33:34,598
She's gone? Why?
523
00:33:34,732 --> 00:33:36,966
I don't know. She just left.
524
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:38,835
She didn't say
if she was coming back?
525
00:33:38,968 --> 00:33:40,970
We didn't have
a heart-to-heart, professor.
526
00:33:41,104 --> 00:33:44,508
Why are you just sitting there?
Please, go, go. Dust something.
527
00:33:44,642 --> 00:33:45,808
And what about the girls?
528
00:33:45,942 --> 00:33:47,745
She was the best teacher
they ever had.
529
00:33:47,877 --> 00:33:48,978
I know.
530
00:34:00,557 --> 00:34:03,761
It is so hard to go back
to work after such good times.
531
00:34:03,893 --> 00:34:05,429
I wish it was Christmas
every day.
532
00:34:05,562 --> 00:34:07,431
Or New Year's.
Wouldn't that be exciting?
533
00:34:07,564 --> 00:34:09,232
We are a bunch
of ungrateful minxes.
534
00:34:09,366 --> 00:34:10,833
Don't say
such despicable things.
535
00:34:10,967 --> 00:34:12,969
I like strong words
that mean something.
536
00:34:13,102 --> 00:34:15,339
I have to go back,
and I don't have any limes.
537
00:34:15,472 --> 00:34:17,574
- Limes?
- Girls are trading pickled limes,
538
00:34:17,708 --> 00:34:20,009
and I'm in debt.
I owe ever so many limes.
539
00:34:20,143 --> 00:34:21,844
- Will this do?
- What'd you do that for?
540
00:34:21,978 --> 00:34:23,813
- Meg, thank you.
- I know what it is
541
00:34:23,946 --> 00:34:26,149
to want things
and feel less than other girls.
542
00:34:26,283 --> 00:34:28,319
That and the drawings
will wipe out my debt.
543
00:34:28,452 --> 00:34:29,453
- What drawings?
- Nothing.
544
00:34:29,586 --> 00:34:30,987
I'm glad Mother
doesn't make me
545
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,489
go to school
with those girls.
546
00:34:32,623 --> 00:34:33,724
Hurry. I'll be late.
547
00:34:33,856 --> 00:34:35,392
Beth, after shopping,
I need you
548
00:34:35,526 --> 00:34:37,494
to work through
the new sums and spelling.
549
00:34:37,628 --> 00:34:39,797
- I'll check it when I get home.
- Oh, fine.
550
00:34:39,929 --> 00:34:40,830
Bye.
551
00:34:59,817 --> 00:35:02,018
Ooh!
552
00:35:02,151 --> 00:35:04,621
- Josephine.
- Yes?
553
00:35:04,755 --> 00:35:07,990
- Oh! Josephine.
- Yes? Here.
554
00:35:08,124 --> 00:35:11,295
Is there a reason
you stopped reading Belsham?
555
00:35:11,428 --> 00:35:13,564
I'm sorry.
I'll continue.
556
00:35:15,299 --> 00:35:17,867
You mind yourself, deary.
Someday you'll need me
557
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,304
and you'll wish
you had behaved better.
558
00:35:20,437 --> 00:35:22,406
Thank you, Aunt March,
for your employment
559
00:35:22,539 --> 00:35:23,807
and your many kindnesses,
560
00:35:23,940 --> 00:35:26,042
but I intend to make
my own way in the world.
561
00:35:26,175 --> 00:35:27,678
Oh, well.
562
00:35:27,811 --> 00:35:30,314
No. No one makes
their own way.
563
00:35:30,447 --> 00:35:31,881
Not really.
564
00:35:32,014 --> 00:35:35,118
Least of all, a woman.
You'll need to marry well.
565
00:35:35,252 --> 00:35:38,020
- But you are not married.
- That's because I'm rich.
566
00:35:38,154 --> 00:35:40,357
And I made sure
to keep hold of my money.
567
00:35:40,491 --> 00:35:42,860
Unlike your father.
568
00:35:42,992 --> 00:35:45,895
So the only way to be an
unmarried woman is to be rich?
569
00:35:46,028 --> 00:35:48,030
- Yes.
- There are precious few ways
570
00:35:48,164 --> 00:35:50,567
- for women to make money.
- That's not true.
571
00:35:50,701 --> 00:35:52,436
You could run a cathouse.
572
00:35:52,569 --> 00:35:54,638
Or go on the stage.
573
00:35:54,772 --> 00:35:56,874
Practically the same thing.
574
00:35:57,006 --> 00:35:59,041
Other than that,
you're right.
575
00:35:59,175 --> 00:36:01,244
Precious few ways
for women.
576
00:36:01,378 --> 00:36:04,548
- That's why you should heed me.
- So I can get married.
577
00:36:04,681 --> 00:36:09,018
No. So you can live a better
life than your poor mother has.
578
00:36:09,152 --> 00:36:14,123
- But Marmee loves her life.
- You don't know what she loves.
579
00:36:14,258 --> 00:36:17,026
Your father cared more about
educating freedmen's children
580
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,195
than he did about caring
for his own family.
581
00:36:19,329 --> 00:36:20,731
Yes, but he was right.
582
00:36:20,864 --> 00:36:24,100
Well, it's possible
to be right and foolish.
583
00:36:24,233 --> 00:36:25,569
Well, I don't think so.
584
00:36:25,702 --> 00:36:28,037
Well, you're not paid
to think.
585
00:36:33,209 --> 00:36:36,346
I know you don't care much
about marriage now.
586
00:36:38,449 --> 00:36:40,016
Can't say I blame you.
587
00:36:41,919 --> 00:36:44,922
But I intend to go
to Europe one more time
588
00:36:45,054 --> 00:36:48,191
and I need a companion,
589
00:36:48,325 --> 00:36:50,494
so how would you like to be
the person I take?
590
00:36:50,627 --> 00:36:52,696
I'd like that
more than anything.
591
00:36:52,830 --> 00:36:54,932
All right, then read.
592
00:36:55,064 --> 00:36:57,534
And don't sneak around.
593
00:36:57,668 --> 00:36:59,470
I don't like sneaks.
594
00:37:02,205 --> 00:37:03,206
President Lincoln.
595
00:37:03,340 --> 00:37:04,842
No, Father's fighting for him.
596
00:37:04,974 --> 00:37:06,643
My father says
the war is a waste
597
00:37:06,777 --> 00:37:08,679
and we should let
them keep their labor.
598
00:37:08,812 --> 00:37:10,079
Susan, it is immoral.
599
00:37:10,213 --> 00:37:11,782
Everyone benefited
from the system,
600
00:37:11,915 --> 00:37:13,082
including you Marches.
601
00:37:13,216 --> 00:37:14,952
Why should only
the South be punished?
602
00:37:15,084 --> 00:37:16,520
Maybe we should
all be punished.
603
00:37:16,653 --> 00:37:18,087
The Marches
love a cause.
604
00:37:18,221 --> 00:37:20,189
Fine. Just do Mr. Davis.
605
00:37:22,259 --> 00:37:24,528
- I don't know if I should.
- I'll wipe out your debt
606
00:37:24,661 --> 00:37:26,864
and give you
five more limes besides.
607
00:37:26,996 --> 00:37:30,166
...your spelling and, moreover,
your reading habit.
608
00:37:44,348 --> 00:37:45,649
Miss March.
609
00:37:48,652 --> 00:37:49,586
Sit down.
610
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,357
Sit down, Laurie.
611
00:37:53,490 --> 00:37:55,157
Latin is a privilege.
612
00:37:55,292 --> 00:37:56,894
Please,
you have to learn this.
613
00:37:57,026 --> 00:37:58,729
I can't afford
to lose this position.
614
00:37:58,862 --> 00:38:01,097
- Return to the Cicero...
- There's a girl out there.
615
00:38:01,230 --> 00:38:03,767
- No, there is not.
- Yes, Mr. Brooke, there's a girl.
616
00:38:03,901 --> 00:38:05,769
No, there is not.
617
00:38:11,173 --> 00:38:12,876
I'll never get
to go home again.
618
00:38:13,010 --> 00:38:15,412
- Oh, there is a girl.
- That's a girl.
619
00:38:17,213 --> 00:38:19,048
Hello there. Are you hurt?
620
00:38:19,181 --> 00:38:21,885
- I'm Amy.
- Hello, Amy. I'm Laurie.
621
00:38:22,019 --> 00:38:24,521
I know. You brought my sister
back after the dance.
622
00:38:24,655 --> 00:38:26,690
I would've never
have sprained my ankle.
623
00:38:26,823 --> 00:38:29,560
I have lovely small feet,
the best in the family.
624
00:38:29,693 --> 00:38:34,230
But I can never go home again
because I'm in such trouble.
625
00:38:34,364 --> 00:38:36,033
Look.
626
00:38:36,165 --> 00:38:38,569
Mr. Davis hit me.
627
00:38:41,405 --> 00:38:45,042
Tell the servants I want this
painting purchased immediately!
628
00:38:45,174 --> 00:38:47,644
- Amy! Are you in here?
- Meg! My hand. Look.
629
00:38:47,778 --> 00:38:49,245
- Jo.
- What richness.
630
00:38:49,379 --> 00:38:51,147
- It hurts so much.
- You ought to be
631
00:38:51,281 --> 00:38:52,649
the happiest boy in the world.
632
00:38:52,783 --> 00:38:54,418
A fellow can't live
on books alone.
633
00:38:54,551 --> 00:38:56,085
- I could. What did you do?
- Nothing.
634
00:38:56,218 --> 00:38:58,220
I did a drawing,
and then Mr. Davis hit me.
635
00:38:58,355 --> 00:39:00,557
Oh, Christopher Columbus,
look at that.
636
00:39:00,691 --> 00:39:02,926
That's my grandfather.
Are you scared of him?
637
00:39:03,060 --> 00:39:04,962
I'm not scared of anyone.
He looks stern,
638
00:39:05,094 --> 00:39:06,897
but my grandfather
was more handsome.
639
00:39:07,030 --> 00:39:08,765
Jo, we do not
compare grandfathers.
640
00:39:08,899 --> 00:39:10,434
You think
he's more handsome, eh?
641
00:39:10,567 --> 00:39:13,804
Oh... No, actually,
you are very handsome.
642
00:39:13,937 --> 00:39:16,607
- I didn't mean...
- I knew your mother's father.
643
00:39:16,740 --> 00:39:18,709
You've got his spirit.
644
00:39:18,842 --> 00:39:20,877
Oh, well, thank you, sir.
645
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,247
You are not to attend
that school anymore.
646
00:39:25,382 --> 00:39:27,249
Good. That man
has always been an idiot.
647
00:39:27,384 --> 00:39:29,886
- Jo will teach you.
- Me? I already teach Beth.
648
00:39:30,020 --> 00:39:32,589
- You're a good teacher.
- Yes, women being taught at home
649
00:39:32,723 --> 00:39:34,057
is more proper, I believe.
650
00:39:34,190 --> 00:39:36,125
Only because schools
for women are poor.
651
00:39:36,259 --> 00:39:37,761
Indeed. Quite right.
652
00:39:37,894 --> 00:39:39,396
I wish all the girls
would leave
653
00:39:39,529 --> 00:39:41,431
- and he would die.
- You did wrong.
654
00:39:41,565 --> 00:39:44,368
- There will be consequences.
- I didn't even do anything.
655
00:39:44,501 --> 00:39:46,303
- I just did a drawing.
- Thank you so much
656
00:39:46,436 --> 00:39:48,672
- for taking care of Amy.
- Oh, yes, of course.
657
00:39:48,805 --> 00:39:51,108
My girls have a way
of getting into mischief.
658
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:52,709
Well, so do I.
659
00:39:52,843 --> 00:39:55,144
Then you'll run over
and we'll take care of you.
660
00:39:55,278 --> 00:39:57,648
Come over whenever you'd like.
Invite Beth as well.
661
00:39:57,781 --> 00:40:00,984
- Yes! Beth would adore the piano.
- Is she the quiet one?
662
00:40:01,118 --> 00:40:02,386
Yes, that's our Beth.
663
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:05,055
Tell that little girl
to use our piano.
664
00:40:05,187 --> 00:40:06,857
Jo, borrow whatever book
you'd like.
665
00:40:06,990 --> 00:40:08,792
- Can I come look at paintings?
- Yes.
666
00:40:08,925 --> 00:40:10,794
There's also
a lovely greenhouse.
667
00:40:11,862 --> 00:40:13,463
We must go. Girls.
668
00:40:13,597 --> 00:40:16,767
- Can you buy this painting?
- I'm going to take this one.
669
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:18,702
- If that's okay.
- I'll bring it back soon.
670
00:40:18,835 --> 00:40:20,270
Thank you again.
671
00:40:20,404 --> 00:40:21,672
Thank you for my hand!
672
00:40:21,805 --> 00:40:23,306
- Thank you!
- Goodbye.
673
00:40:26,977 --> 00:40:28,779
Oh, uh, Miss Meg?
674
00:40:28,912 --> 00:40:30,480
You forgot your glove.
675
00:40:38,422 --> 00:40:41,391
Well, back to work.
676
00:40:41,525 --> 00:40:42,659
Back to work.
677
00:40:58,709 --> 00:41:03,080
Order! Order.
Order. Order!
678
00:41:03,212 --> 00:41:06,550
A new play written
by Miss Jo March
679
00:41:06,683 --> 00:41:08,351
will appear
at the Barnville Theater
680
00:41:08,485 --> 00:41:11,421
in the course of the next
few weeks that will surpass
681
00:41:11,555 --> 00:41:15,392
anything ever seen before
on the American stage.
682
00:41:15,525 --> 00:41:17,260
Starring
the greatest actress
683
00:41:17,394 --> 00:41:20,197
from here to the Mississippi
River, Miss Meg March.
684
00:41:20,330 --> 00:41:23,266
- Yes. There we go. Very good.
- Excellent. Bravo, bravo.
685
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,003
- Weekly report. Meg good, Jo bad.
- Mm-hm.
686
00:41:27,137 --> 00:41:30,340
Beth very good.
And Amy sort of middling.
687
00:41:30,474 --> 00:41:32,509
- Very well done, sirs.
- Excellent.
688
00:41:32,642 --> 00:41:34,678
- Excellent, excellent.
- Bravo.
689
00:41:34,811 --> 00:41:36,580
Mr. President and gentlemen,
690
00:41:36,713 --> 00:41:39,616
I wish to propose the admission
of a new member.
691
00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:43,086
One who would be
deeply, deeply grateful
692
00:41:43,220 --> 00:41:48,091
and would add immensely
to the spirit of the club.
693
00:41:48,225 --> 00:41:49,760
I propose...
694
00:41:51,094 --> 00:41:54,898
Mr. Theodore Laurence!
695
00:41:55,031 --> 00:41:56,433
- Absolutely not.
- No.
696
00:41:56,566 --> 00:41:59,569
- What? Come, now. Let's have him.
- He's a real boy.
697
00:41:59,703 --> 00:42:01,004
We don't want any boys.
698
00:42:01,138 --> 00:42:02,606
- This is a club for ladies.
- Yes.
699
00:42:02,739 --> 00:42:04,040
- I think we should do it.
- Why?
700
00:42:04,174 --> 00:42:06,009
- Even if we're afraid, I say yes.
- Why?
701
00:42:06,143 --> 00:42:07,577
- It's Laurie.
- What? No.
702
00:42:07,711 --> 00:42:10,013
- It'll change everything.
- All right, I call a vote.
703
00:42:10,147 --> 00:42:12,349
- Put your hands up.
- Don't put your hand up.
704
00:42:12,482 --> 00:42:14,017
Put your hand up. It's Laurie.
705
00:42:14,151 --> 00:42:15,285
Fine. Aye.
706
00:42:15,418 --> 00:42:17,020
There is no time
like the present...
707
00:42:18,789 --> 00:42:21,091
Ladies, ladies, please, please.
708
00:42:21,224 --> 00:42:23,760
This is my stratagem.
I deserve the blame.
709
00:42:23,894 --> 00:42:26,296
Jo only gave in to it
after lots of teasing.
710
00:42:26,429 --> 00:42:28,465
Yes. I merely wish to say
711
00:42:28,598 --> 00:42:31,668
as a slight token
of my gratitude that I...
712
00:42:34,104 --> 00:42:35,105
- Yes, yes.
- Go on.
713
00:42:35,238 --> 00:42:36,840
As a means of promoting
714
00:42:36,973 --> 00:42:39,810
friendly relations
between adjoining nations.
715
00:42:39,943 --> 00:42:42,846
And thus, I propose
this set of keys
716
00:42:42,979 --> 00:42:47,651
for a little post office I've
made in the forest by the pond.
717
00:42:47,784 --> 00:42:50,554
Yes, four keys.
They're for you, darling.
718
00:42:50,687 --> 00:42:54,658
- Meg, yes, yes. And for you.
- Oh, thank you very much.
719
00:42:54,791 --> 00:42:57,727
This is for me. Without further
ado, thank you for your favor.
720
00:42:57,861 --> 00:42:59,696
I will take my seat
as part of the club.
721
00:43:01,865 --> 00:43:05,635
- Yes, well. Of course. Yes, yes.
- Bravo, bravo.
722
00:43:08,038 --> 00:43:09,806
Welcome, Laurie.
723
00:43:22,686 --> 00:43:25,555
- Three, four, five.
- You both got five.
724
00:43:25,689 --> 00:43:27,891
- I asked the doctor.
- That's a draw, I think.
725
00:43:28,024 --> 00:43:30,794
- It doesn't make sense.
- I can't believe it.
726
00:43:30,927 --> 00:43:32,195
Hello.
727
00:43:32,330 --> 00:43:33,663
Jo!
728
00:43:38,768 --> 00:43:41,071
Daisy and Demi!
Can I have a hug?
729
00:43:41,204 --> 00:43:42,973
Oh, you've gotten so big.
730
00:43:44,507 --> 00:43:46,076
I wish you were here
to teach them.
731
00:43:46,209 --> 00:43:47,477
I know. Well, I'm here now.
732
00:43:47,611 --> 00:43:49,746
- So good to have you home.
- Take this off.
733
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,848
I think the
loneliness got to Beth,
734
00:43:51,982 --> 00:43:53,617
though she ain't
said anything.
735
00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:58,256
- Where is Beth?
- She's upstairs. Oh, my Jo.
736
00:43:58,388 --> 00:44:02,225
We thought she was better, but
the fever'd weakened her heart.
737
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,595
Take this and find her
the best doctor you can.
738
00:44:05,729 --> 00:44:07,298
You need this
to live in New York.
739
00:44:07,430 --> 00:44:09,399
No, I'm not going back.
I'm using the rest
740
00:44:09,532 --> 00:44:11,601
to take her to the sea
and get her strong.
741
00:44:14,671 --> 00:44:17,007
When's Amy coming home?
742
00:44:17,140 --> 00:44:20,278
- We didn't want to worry her.
- Does she not know?
743
00:44:22,679 --> 00:44:24,581
Beth insisted
we not tell her
744
00:44:24,714 --> 00:44:27,517
because she didn't want
to ruin Amy's trip.
745
00:44:31,054 --> 00:44:32,290
Amy has always had a talent
746
00:44:32,422 --> 00:44:34,392
for getting out
of the hard parts of life.
747
00:44:34,524 --> 00:44:37,193
Jo, don't be angry
with your sister.
748
00:44:45,269 --> 00:44:47,405
I can't seem to find anything.
749
00:44:47,537 --> 00:44:49,307
Marmee, have you seen my glove?
750
00:44:49,439 --> 00:44:51,275
When did you last see it?
751
00:44:52,943 --> 00:44:55,812
Jo! Jo, where are you?
752
00:44:55,946 --> 00:44:58,014
- I can't find my other glove.
- Take mine.
753
00:44:58,148 --> 00:45:00,251
- We're going to be late.
- Where are you going?
754
00:45:00,384 --> 00:45:01,785
You're not invited.
755
00:45:01,918 --> 00:45:03,687
You're going
somewhere with Laurie.
756
00:45:03,820 --> 00:45:05,989
- I know it.
- Yes, we are. Now stop bothering.
757
00:45:06,122 --> 00:45:07,857
- You have the tickets?
- Yes. Hurry.
758
00:45:07,991 --> 00:45:11,127
- You're going to the theater.
- Meg, please, can I come?
759
00:45:11,262 --> 00:45:13,163
- Sorry, you weren't invited.
- You can't go.
760
00:45:13,297 --> 00:45:15,098
Don't be a baby
and whine about it.
761
00:45:15,231 --> 00:45:17,600
I've been shut up here.
I never get to go anywhere.
762
00:45:17,734 --> 00:45:21,204
- Beth has her piano. I'm lonely.
- I can teach you chords.
763
00:45:21,339 --> 00:45:23,673
I don't want chords.
I want to go to the theater.
764
00:45:23,807 --> 00:45:26,310
I think you'd hate to poke in
where you're not wanted.
765
00:45:26,444 --> 00:45:28,578
We already have to deal
with dull Mr. Brooke.
766
00:45:28,712 --> 00:45:31,114
- I like him. He's kind.
- But I can pay for myself.
767
00:45:31,247 --> 00:45:32,615
You will not come.
768
00:45:32,749 --> 00:45:34,452
I'm sorry, my sweet,
but Jo is right.
769
00:45:34,584 --> 00:45:36,019
- No! Please.
- Next time.
770
00:45:36,152 --> 00:45:38,788
- Come, Meg. Stop petting her.
- Please, please, please!
771
00:45:38,922 --> 00:45:41,157
Ugh, you'll be sorry
for this, Jo March!
772
00:45:41,292 --> 00:45:44,160
- Amy!
- You will! You'll regret this!
773
00:45:47,163 --> 00:45:49,666
Stop looking at me like that!
774
00:46:37,381 --> 00:46:38,982
Oh, um...
775
00:46:43,354 --> 00:46:45,356
- I loved every second of it.
- Ow! Jo!
776
00:46:45,489 --> 00:46:49,592
- I thought the actress was... Oh!
- She was very, very good.
777
00:46:49,726 --> 00:46:53,196
- Yes, she was really good.
- She was. She was very good.
778
00:47:09,179 --> 00:47:10,613
Bye!
779
00:47:10,747 --> 00:47:12,782
Oh, I love the theater.
780
00:47:12,916 --> 00:47:15,319
Meg, you're a million times
better than she was.
781
00:47:15,453 --> 00:47:17,153
Although she was
a terrific fainter.
782
00:47:17,288 --> 00:47:19,390
I wonder how she managed
to turn so white.
783
00:47:19,523 --> 00:47:21,958
That Mr. Brooke,
could he be any more obsequious?
784
00:47:22,092 --> 00:47:23,760
I thought he was
very well-mannered.
785
00:47:23,893 --> 00:47:26,297
Hold on. Let me
just get this idea down.
786
00:47:32,235 --> 00:47:33,937
Beth, what's your
favorite eye color?
787
00:47:34,070 --> 00:47:36,239
- Purple.
- Mr. Brooke has blue eyes
788
00:47:36,373 --> 00:47:38,875
and an old soul, which is
more important than money.
789
00:47:39,008 --> 00:47:40,877
Has anyone taken my novel?
790
00:47:41,010 --> 00:47:42,912
- No.
- No. Why?
791
00:47:53,923 --> 00:47:55,326
Amy, you've got it.
792
00:47:55,459 --> 00:47:56,993
- No, I haven't.
- That's a lie.
793
00:47:57,127 --> 00:47:59,996
I haven't got it, I don't know
where it is, and I don't care.
794
00:48:00,130 --> 00:48:01,698
- Tell me, or I'll make you!
- Ahh!
795
00:48:01,831 --> 00:48:03,933
- I burnt it up!
- Marmee!
796
00:48:04,067 --> 00:48:08,171
I burnt your book. I told you
I'd make you pay, and I did!
797
00:48:08,305 --> 00:48:10,874
All right, Jo! Jo! Jo!
Please get off her!
798
00:48:11,007 --> 00:48:12,543
- Jo. Amy.
- Ahh! Ahh!
799
00:48:12,675 --> 00:48:13,977
- Get her off!
- I hate you!
800
00:48:21,651 --> 00:48:23,521
I'm sorry, Jo.
801
00:48:24,421 --> 00:48:25,955
Amy.
802
00:48:31,928 --> 00:48:34,664
It's just the only thing
you care about is your writing.
803
00:48:34,797 --> 00:48:36,433
It's not as if
I could've hurt you
804
00:48:36,567 --> 00:48:38,101
by ruining one of your dresses,
805
00:48:38,234 --> 00:48:40,103
and I really did
want to hurt you.
806
00:48:42,005 --> 00:48:45,808
I am the most sorry for it now.
I'm so sorry.
807
00:48:45,942 --> 00:48:47,977
Oh, Jo...
808
00:48:48,111 --> 00:48:50,614
don't let the sun go down
on your anger.
809
00:48:50,747 --> 00:48:52,383
Forgive her.
810
00:48:52,516 --> 00:48:53,850
Help each other.
811
00:48:54,984 --> 00:48:56,719
And you begin again tomorrow.
812
00:48:58,821 --> 00:49:01,525
She doesn't deserve
my forgiveness.
813
00:49:01,659 --> 00:49:05,362
And I will hate her.
I will hate her forever!
814
00:49:36,192 --> 00:49:38,928
Morning. Brisk and brilliant
out. Last day at the river.
815
00:49:39,062 --> 00:49:40,196
- Get your ice skates.
- Let's go!
816
00:49:40,331 --> 00:49:41,432
Jo, you promised me
817
00:49:41,565 --> 00:49:43,233
I could come last time. Jo!
818
00:49:46,035 --> 00:49:47,904
Is she going to be
like this forever?
819
00:49:49,072 --> 00:49:51,107
It was a very hard loss
for her.
820
00:49:51,241 --> 00:49:53,444
Is there nothing I can do?
821
00:49:55,579 --> 00:49:57,880
Go after her.
Don't say anything
822
00:49:58,014 --> 00:49:59,949
till Jo has got good-natured
with Laurie,
823
00:50:00,083 --> 00:50:02,051
and then just say
some kind thing.
824
00:50:02,185 --> 00:50:04,255
I'm sure
she'll be friends again.
825
00:50:04,388 --> 00:50:06,657
Jo, wait!
826
00:50:06,789 --> 00:50:08,592
I'm coming!
827
00:50:08,726 --> 00:50:11,328
You said
I could come last time!
828
00:50:13,731 --> 00:50:15,832
Jo, Laurie, wait!
I'm coming!
829
00:50:16,966 --> 00:50:18,234
Wait!
830
00:50:19,303 --> 00:50:20,604
Jo!
831
00:50:20,738 --> 00:50:21,938
Stay near the edge.
832
00:50:22,071 --> 00:50:23,840
- It's not safe in the middle.
- Got it.
833
00:50:23,973 --> 00:50:25,108
Jo!
834
00:50:29,380 --> 00:50:30,947
Jo, I'm coming!
835
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,820
Jo!
836
00:50:39,556 --> 00:50:40,923
Jo, let's go!
837
00:50:42,593 --> 00:50:43,727
Uh...
838
00:50:46,129 --> 00:50:47,398
Jo, wait!
839
00:50:55,071 --> 00:50:56,340
Jo!
840
00:51:06,249 --> 00:51:07,651
- Are you all right?
- Yes.
841
00:51:07,785 --> 00:51:11,220
- Help! Help me!
- Amy. It's Amy.
842
00:51:11,355 --> 00:51:13,856
- Come on. Come on, Jo.
- Ahh! Jo!
843
00:51:13,990 --> 00:51:15,958
Ahh, Jo!
844
00:51:17,594 --> 00:51:19,862
Jo, get a branch.
Get a branch.
845
00:51:19,996 --> 00:51:21,398
- Amy.
- Jo!
846
00:51:21,532 --> 00:51:23,367
- Amy. Amy.
- Ahh!
847
00:51:23,500 --> 00:51:26,069
Help! I can't breathe!
848
00:51:26,202 --> 00:51:30,073
Jo, help me pull. Amy,
grab the branch. Grab it, Amy.
849
00:51:40,417 --> 00:51:43,387
I'm so sorry.
Oh, my sister, my sister.
850
00:51:48,592 --> 00:51:50,026
She's asleep.
851
00:51:53,162 --> 00:51:55,532
If she had died,
it would have been my fault.
852
00:51:56,633 --> 00:51:59,135
She'll be fine.
853
00:51:59,269 --> 00:52:03,005
The doctor said that he didn't
even think she'd catch cold.
854
00:52:04,341 --> 00:52:05,809
What is wrong with me?
855
00:52:06,976 --> 00:52:08,712
I've made so many resolutions,
856
00:52:08,846 --> 00:52:12,882
and I've written sad notes,
and I've cried over my sins...
857
00:52:14,485 --> 00:52:16,919
but it just
doesn't seem to help.
858
00:52:18,722 --> 00:52:22,593
When I get in a passion,
I get so savage.
859
00:52:22,726 --> 00:52:25,228
I could hurt anyone,
and I'd enjoy it.
860
00:52:26,497 --> 00:52:28,465
You remind me of myself.
861
00:52:30,567 --> 00:52:32,969
But you're never angry.
862
00:52:33,102 --> 00:52:35,905
I'm angry nearly
every day of my life.
863
00:52:37,106 --> 00:52:39,108
You are?
864
00:52:39,242 --> 00:52:42,513
I am not patient by nature.
865
00:52:42,646 --> 00:52:45,948
But with nearly
40 years of effort,
866
00:52:46,082 --> 00:52:48,719
I'm learning to not let it
get the better of me.
867
00:52:51,889 --> 00:52:53,857
Well, I'll do the same, then.
868
00:52:55,592 --> 00:52:58,262
I hope you'll do a great deal
better than me.
869
00:53:00,864 --> 00:53:05,234
There are some natures
too noble to curb
870
00:53:05,369 --> 00:53:07,704
and too lofty to bend.
871
00:53:28,492 --> 00:53:30,294
Jo.
872
00:53:30,427 --> 00:53:33,162
Oh, Beth, my love. Oh!
873
00:53:35,432 --> 00:53:38,535
- You didn't need to come.
- Oh, I never should have left.
874
00:53:38,669 --> 00:53:41,271
Do you need anything? Here.
875
00:53:41,405 --> 00:53:42,639
Take some water.
876
00:53:46,443 --> 00:53:48,946
It's so good
to see your face.
877
00:53:49,078 --> 00:53:51,849
We're going to the sea
to get you strong and well.
878
00:53:51,981 --> 00:53:53,417
- The sea?
- Mm, I want you dancing
879
00:53:53,550 --> 00:53:55,985
by the time
Amy gets back.
880
00:53:56,118 --> 00:53:58,020
She's not cutting
her trip short, is she?
881
00:53:58,154 --> 00:54:00,022
- No, no.
- Good.
882
00:54:00,156 --> 00:54:02,593
Is there any news?
What does she say?
883
00:54:02,726 --> 00:54:04,828
She writes
that Laurie is there.
884
00:54:04,962 --> 00:54:06,964
I'm glad he's with her.
885
00:54:07,096 --> 00:54:09,833
He won't respond
to any of my letters.
886
00:54:11,234 --> 00:54:12,636
Do you miss him?
887
00:54:14,070 --> 00:54:15,405
I miss everything.
888
00:54:17,341 --> 00:54:18,542
I know.
889
00:54:22,679 --> 00:54:24,515
Hurry up!
Meg's gonna be gone for a week.
890
00:54:24,648 --> 00:54:26,750
- We're coming!
- Take the other carriage, Laurie.
891
00:54:26,884 --> 00:54:29,085
Spy on Meg. Make sure
she doesn't fall in love.
892
00:54:29,218 --> 00:54:30,521
- I will.
- It was nice of Annie
893
00:54:30,654 --> 00:54:32,221
to invite me
to her debutante ball.
894
00:54:32,356 --> 00:54:35,492
- Thank you for letting me go.
- Just be who you are.
895
00:54:35,626 --> 00:54:39,429
And wear this to the ball.
It was mine when I was your age.
896
00:54:39,563 --> 00:54:42,198
I've never understood
saving jewelry until marriage.
897
00:54:42,332 --> 00:54:44,701
You should have something
that's just yours.
898
00:54:44,835 --> 00:54:46,703
Pretty things
should be enjoyed.
899
00:54:46,837 --> 00:54:48,972
Yes, pretty things
should be enjoyed.
900
00:54:50,106 --> 00:54:51,441
- Can I see it?
- Hannah!
901
00:54:51,575 --> 00:54:53,377
I wish I could go
to the debutante ball.
902
00:54:53,510 --> 00:54:56,313
Do you think this is a good
idea, her going away like this?
903
00:54:56,446 --> 00:54:57,881
Girls have to
go into the world
904
00:54:58,015 --> 00:54:59,917
and make up
their own minds about things.
905
00:55:00,049 --> 00:55:02,719
- Don't forget about us.
- I won't, Jo. It's only a week.
906
00:55:02,853 --> 00:55:04,721
- It's beautiful.
- It's not yours.
907
00:55:04,855 --> 00:55:06,188
It would look good on me.
908
00:55:06,323 --> 00:55:08,325
She needs to have
some decent shoes.
909
00:55:08,458 --> 00:55:11,227
Thank you for the carriage,
Mr. Laurence.
910
00:55:11,361 --> 00:55:13,764
- I don't know how to repay you.
- Nonsense, nonsense.
911
00:55:13,897 --> 00:55:16,333
I said hi to the horses.
They're very nice.
912
00:55:16,466 --> 00:55:17,868
Although
there is one thing.
913
00:55:18,001 --> 00:55:19,403
It occurred to me today
914
00:55:19,536 --> 00:55:22,272
that my daughter's piano
suffers from want of use.
915
00:55:22,406 --> 00:55:24,741
Any of your girls
like to run over
916
00:55:24,875 --> 00:55:28,378
and practice on it now and then?
Just to keep it in tune.
917
00:55:28,512 --> 00:55:30,914
If they don't care to come,
why, then never mind.
918
00:55:31,048 --> 00:55:33,951
Oh, sir,
they do care.
919
00:55:34,083 --> 00:55:35,151
Very, very much.
920
00:55:36,253 --> 00:55:37,788
You're the musical girl, huh?
921
00:55:37,921 --> 00:55:40,457
I love it dearly.
And I'll come
922
00:55:40,591 --> 00:55:43,393
if you are quite sure nobody
will hear me and be disturbed.
923
00:55:43,527 --> 00:55:45,227
Not a soul, my dear.
924
00:55:49,566 --> 00:55:50,767
- Miss you.
- Bye.
925
00:55:50,901 --> 00:55:52,903
- Can I borrow your ribbons?
- No.
926
00:55:53,036 --> 00:55:54,805
- Bye!
- Be good. Enjoy the ball.
927
00:55:54,938 --> 00:55:57,774
- Bye. I'll be back soon.
- Don't go and get married.
928
00:55:57,908 --> 00:55:58,942
Don't go fall in love.
929
00:55:59,076 --> 00:56:00,544
- Come back right now.
- I love you.
930
00:56:00,677 --> 00:56:02,579
- Right this second.
- Right this second.
931
00:56:14,291 --> 00:56:15,592
Whoa, there.
932
00:56:21,230 --> 00:56:23,333
Oh, ha, thank you.
933
00:56:46,990 --> 00:56:48,959
I'd be so excited about tonight.
934
00:56:50,494 --> 00:56:53,330
- Of course.
- Oh, no, I don't actually...
935
00:56:55,231 --> 00:56:57,267
What dress will you
wear tonight, Meg?
936
00:56:57,401 --> 00:56:59,002
- I will wear this one.
- That one?
937
00:56:59,136 --> 00:57:00,637
Can't you send home
for another?
938
00:57:00,771 --> 00:57:02,439
- I haven't got another.
- Only the one?
939
00:57:02,572 --> 00:57:04,708
- Oh, that's so funny.
- Not at all.
940
00:57:04,841 --> 00:57:07,144
There's no need
in sending home, Daisy.
941
00:57:07,277 --> 00:57:09,279
I'm going to
call you Daisy now.
942
00:57:09,413 --> 00:57:10,881
I've got a sweet dress
laid away.
943
00:57:11,014 --> 00:57:13,383
You'll wear it to please me,
won't you, Daisy?
944
00:57:13,517 --> 00:57:16,453
- Um, if it's all right.
- Of course.
945
00:57:53,557 --> 00:57:55,192
Everyone's in love
with you, Daisy.
946
00:57:55,325 --> 00:57:57,894
- You have to keep my dress.
- I can't keep your dress.
947
00:57:58,028 --> 00:57:59,396
- You have to. Please.
- No.
948
00:57:59,529 --> 00:58:00,831
Everyone loves you in it.
949
00:58:03,467 --> 00:58:05,068
Have fun, little Daisy.
950
00:58:05,202 --> 00:58:07,671
Laurie. I didn't know
you were going to come.
951
00:58:07,804 --> 00:58:09,406
Supposed to be
a surprise.
952
00:58:09,539 --> 00:58:12,375
And what
a lovely surprise it is.
953
00:58:12,509 --> 00:58:15,879
- Why are they calling you Daisy?
- It's their pet name for me.
954
00:58:17,681 --> 00:58:19,549
Meg is a perfectly
good name.
955
00:58:19,683 --> 00:58:24,788
It's just like playing a part
to be Daisy for a little while.
956
00:58:28,925 --> 00:58:30,727
What would Jo say?
957
00:58:35,265 --> 00:58:38,268
You wouldn't actually marry
one of these men, would you?
958
00:58:39,936 --> 00:58:42,072
I might.
959
00:58:42,205 --> 00:58:44,074
You'll get
a terrible headache tomorrow.
960
00:58:49,946 --> 00:58:52,949
- Do you like how I look?
- No, I don't.
961
00:58:54,284 --> 00:58:55,652
Why not?
962
00:58:55,786 --> 00:58:57,721
I don't like fuss and feathers.
963
00:58:59,022 --> 00:59:00,924
You're the rudest boy
I ever saw.
964
01:00:32,983 --> 01:00:34,751
Please forgive me
and come dance.
965
01:00:34,885 --> 01:00:37,854
I'm afraid it would be
too disagreeable for you.
966
01:00:37,988 --> 01:00:43,059
I don't like your dress, but
I think you are just splendid.
967
01:00:45,263 --> 01:00:47,365
- Really?
- Really.
968
01:00:51,369 --> 01:00:55,138
I know it's silly,
but please don't tell Jo.
969
01:00:55,273 --> 01:00:56,806
Let me have my fun tonight.
970
01:00:56,940 --> 01:01:00,076
I'll be desperately good
for the rest of my life.
971
01:01:31,508 --> 01:01:32,676
I'm sorry, John.
972
01:01:34,044 --> 01:01:37,315
The silk was
the first real expense.
973
01:01:39,417 --> 01:01:44,487
Ahem, $50, while a lot,
is not, I suppose,
974
01:01:44,621 --> 01:01:47,157
too much for a dress
with all the notions
975
01:01:47,291 --> 01:01:49,659
that are needed
to finish it these days.
976
01:01:53,730 --> 01:01:57,033
It's not exactly
even a dress yet. It's...
977
01:01:58,302 --> 01:02:00,670
It's just the fabric.
978
01:02:02,739 --> 01:02:04,074
Oh.
979
01:02:05,041 --> 01:02:06,242
I see.
980
01:02:07,811 --> 01:02:09,313
I know you're angry,
John.
981
01:02:09,447 --> 01:02:11,648
I don't mean to waste money,
but I can't resist
982
01:02:11,781 --> 01:02:13,516
when I see Sallie buying
all she wants
983
01:02:13,650 --> 01:02:15,185
and pitying me
because I don't.
984
01:02:16,653 --> 01:02:21,024
I try to be contented,
but it is hard.
985
01:02:21,157 --> 01:02:23,827
And I'm tired of being poor.
986
01:02:26,397 --> 01:02:29,032
I was afraid of this.
987
01:02:29,165 --> 01:02:30,934
I do my best, Meg.
988
01:02:31,067 --> 01:02:32,470
Oh, John.
989
01:02:32,602 --> 01:02:35,705
My dear, kind,
hardworking boy.
990
01:02:35,839 --> 01:02:39,542
It was so ungrateful
and wicked.
991
01:02:39,676 --> 01:02:41,878
How could I say it?
992
01:02:42,012 --> 01:02:44,714
- Perhaps you meant it.
- No, I didn't.
993
01:02:44,848 --> 01:02:47,183
We'll work out a way
to get you your coat as well,
994
01:02:47,318 --> 01:02:50,220
and then won't we be grand,
the two of us?
995
01:02:50,354 --> 01:02:52,856
I can't afford it,
my dear.
996
01:02:52,989 --> 01:02:55,892
- John.
- I need to go to bed.
997
01:02:56,026 --> 01:02:57,328
John.
998
01:02:59,996 --> 01:03:03,501
And I really am very sorry
that you've had to do
999
01:03:03,633 --> 01:03:05,635
without so many
beautiful things...
1000
01:03:05,769 --> 01:03:07,837
and that you're married
to someone
1001
01:03:07,971 --> 01:03:10,040
who can't give
them to you.
1002
01:03:21,151 --> 01:03:22,085
Hello, Amy.
1003
01:03:22,218 --> 01:03:23,887
I don't want to see you.
1004
01:03:24,020 --> 01:03:26,656
Amy, don't be mad at me.
I'm sorry for how I behaved.
1005
01:03:26,790 --> 01:03:29,427
- Have you been drinking?
- Why are you being so hard on me?
1006
01:03:29,559 --> 01:03:31,728
- It's 4 p.m.
- Someone has to do it.
1007
01:03:33,497 --> 01:03:36,599
When do you begin your
great work of art, Raphaella?
1008
01:03:36,733 --> 01:03:39,803
- Never.
- "Never"? What? Why?
1009
01:03:39,936 --> 01:03:41,871
I'm a failure.
1010
01:03:42,005 --> 01:03:43,640
Jo is in New York
being a writer,
1011
01:03:43,773 --> 01:03:44,941
and I'm a failure.
1012
01:03:45,075 --> 01:03:47,077
That's quite a statement
to make at 20.
1013
01:03:47,210 --> 01:03:48,812
Rome took all the vanity
out of me,
1014
01:03:48,945 --> 01:03:51,214
and Paris made me realize
I'd never be a genius,
1015
01:03:51,348 --> 01:03:53,650
so I'm giving up
all my foolish artistic hopes.
1016
01:03:53,783 --> 01:03:56,052
Why give up? You have
so much talent and energy.
1017
01:03:56,186 --> 01:03:57,887
Talent isn't genius.
1018
01:03:58,021 --> 01:04:00,558
And no amount of energy
can make it so.
1019
01:04:00,690 --> 01:04:02,792
I want to be great
or nothing.
1020
01:04:02,926 --> 01:04:05,429
And I will not be
some commonplace dauber,
1021
01:04:05,563 --> 01:04:07,764
and I don't intend
to try anymore.
1022
01:04:12,602 --> 01:04:15,905
What women are allowed into
the club of geniuses anyway?
1023
01:04:19,443 --> 01:04:21,778
- The Brontes?
- Hm.
1024
01:04:21,911 --> 01:04:23,613
- That's it?
- Yes, I think so.
1025
01:04:23,746 --> 01:04:26,317
And who always
declares genius?
1026
01:04:26,450 --> 01:04:28,552
- Men, I suppose.
- Cutting down the competition.
1027
01:04:29,886 --> 01:04:31,589
That's a very
complicated argument
1028
01:04:31,721 --> 01:04:32,822
to make me feel better.
1029
01:04:32,956 --> 01:04:34,492
Do you though?
Do you feel better?
1030
01:04:34,624 --> 01:04:37,660
I do think,
male or female,
1031
01:04:37,794 --> 01:04:40,630
- I am of middling talent.
- "Middling talent"?
1032
01:04:46,903 --> 01:04:50,140
Then may I ask
your last portrait be of me?
1033
01:04:50,274 --> 01:04:52,041
- All right.
- Now that you've given up
1034
01:04:52,175 --> 01:04:55,312
- your foolish artistic hopes...
- Mm-hm?
1035
01:04:55,446 --> 01:04:57,147
what are you gonna do
with your life?
1036
01:04:57,281 --> 01:04:59,015
Polish up all my other talents
1037
01:04:59,149 --> 01:05:02,018
and become
an ornament to society.
1038
01:05:02,152 --> 01:05:04,555
Mm, that's where Fred Vaughn
comes in, I suppose.
1039
01:05:04,687 --> 01:05:08,024
- Don't make fun.
- I said his name.
1040
01:05:08,158 --> 01:05:10,693
- You're not engaged, I hope.
- No.
1041
01:05:13,730 --> 01:05:17,100
But you will be if he goes down
properly on one knee?
1042
01:05:18,636 --> 01:05:20,203
Most likely, yes.
1043
01:05:20,337 --> 01:05:23,873
He's rich.
Richer than you, even.
1044
01:05:24,007 --> 01:05:26,776
I understand queens of society
can't get on without money,
1045
01:05:26,910 --> 01:05:28,279
although it does sound odd
1046
01:05:28,412 --> 01:05:30,880
from the mouth of one
of your mother's girls.
1047
01:05:32,483 --> 01:05:34,684
I've always known
I would marry rich.
1048
01:05:34,817 --> 01:05:37,153
- Why should I be ashamed?
- Nothing to be ashamed of,
1049
01:05:37,288 --> 01:05:38,955
as long as you love him.
1050
01:05:39,088 --> 01:05:41,392
I believe we have
some power over who we love.
1051
01:05:41,525 --> 01:05:43,826
It isn't something
that just happens to a person.
1052
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,330
I think the poets
might disagree.
1053
01:05:46,463 --> 01:05:48,231
Well, I'm not a poet.
1054
01:05:48,365 --> 01:05:49,832
I'm just a woman.
1055
01:05:51,701 --> 01:05:56,105
And as a woman, there's no way
for me to make my own money.
1056
01:05:56,239 --> 01:06:00,578
Not enough to earn a living
or to support my family.
1057
01:06:00,710 --> 01:06:02,745
If I had my own money,
which I don't,
1058
01:06:02,879 --> 01:06:04,582
that money would belong
to my husband
1059
01:06:04,714 --> 01:06:06,182
the moment we got married.
1060
01:06:06,317 --> 01:06:09,052
If we had children,
they would be his, not mine.
1061
01:06:09,185 --> 01:06:12,155
They would be his property.
So don't sit there and tell me
1062
01:06:12,289 --> 01:06:15,426
that marriage isn't an economic
proposition, because it is.
1063
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,929
It may not be for you,
but it most certainly is for me.
1064
01:06:23,066 --> 01:06:25,835
Oh, that's Fred.
Can you unbutton me, please?
1065
01:06:43,786 --> 01:06:44,821
Thank you.
1066
01:06:52,228 --> 01:06:53,664
How do I look?
Do I look all right?
1067
01:06:53,796 --> 01:06:55,898
You look beautiful.
1068
01:06:59,303 --> 01:07:00,770
You are beautiful.
1069
01:07:10,447 --> 01:07:12,316
Fred!
1070
01:07:12,449 --> 01:07:13,950
I've missed you.
1071
01:07:32,569 --> 01:07:34,571
This is Fred Vaughn
and his sister, Kate.
1072
01:07:34,705 --> 01:07:36,172
Of course you know
Mr. Brooke.
1073
01:07:36,307 --> 01:07:38,509
This is Meg, Amy,
Beth and Jo.
1074
01:07:38,642 --> 01:07:42,011
- So pleased to meet you.
- Oh, how elegant. Heh.
1075
01:07:42,145 --> 01:07:44,615
I'm Amy March.
You remember that name.
1076
01:07:44,748 --> 01:07:46,450
I'm gonna find you
one day in London.
1077
01:07:46,583 --> 01:07:47,884
Oh, I certainly will.
1078
01:08:11,442 --> 01:08:13,677
- Oh, that missed a boat.
- That's very kind.
1079
01:08:16,513 --> 01:08:18,047
- Well...
- Sorry.
1080
01:08:18,181 --> 01:08:20,183
I know
something you don't know.
1081
01:08:20,317 --> 01:08:21,452
Tell me this second.
1082
01:08:21,585 --> 01:08:23,287
Has Meg perhaps
mislaid a glove?
1083
01:08:24,621 --> 01:08:25,988
- Mr. Brooke has it!
- Yes.
1084
01:08:26,122 --> 01:08:27,324
- How do you know?
- I saw it.
1085
01:08:27,458 --> 01:08:28,392
- Where?
- In his pocket.
1086
01:08:28,525 --> 01:08:29,626
- All this time?
- Yes.
1087
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,495
- Isn't it romantic?
- No, it's horrid.
1088
01:08:31,628 --> 01:08:33,963
- I thought you'd be pleased.
- At the idea of anybody
1089
01:08:34,097 --> 01:08:35,865
coming to take Meg away?
No, thank you.
1090
01:08:35,998 --> 01:08:38,635
You'll feel better when
somebody comes to take you away.
1091
01:08:38,769 --> 01:08:40,036
I'd like to see anyone try.
1092
01:08:40,169 --> 01:08:42,205
I would like to see
someone try as well.
1093
01:08:48,545 --> 01:08:51,515
"We could never have
loved the earth so well
1094
01:08:51,648 --> 01:08:54,385
"if we had had
no childhood in it,
1095
01:08:54,518 --> 01:08:56,119
"if it were not the earth
1096
01:08:56,253 --> 01:08:59,523
"where the same flowers come up
again every spring
1097
01:08:59,656 --> 01:09:03,192
"that we used to gather
with our tiny fingers.
1098
01:09:03,327 --> 01:09:06,397
"What novelty is worth
that sweet monotony
1099
01:09:06,530 --> 01:09:09,433
"where everything is known
and loved
1100
01:09:09,566 --> 01:09:11,200
because it is known?"
1101
01:09:12,569 --> 01:09:15,138
- How great is that?
- Mm.
1102
01:09:15,272 --> 01:09:16,874
I love to listen
to you read, Jo,
1103
01:09:17,006 --> 01:09:19,743
but I love it better when you
read stories you've written.
1104
01:09:19,877 --> 01:09:22,011
I don't have any new stories.
1105
01:09:22,145 --> 01:09:23,246
Why not?
1106
01:09:27,251 --> 01:09:28,519
Haven't written any.
1107
01:09:29,887 --> 01:09:31,388
You have a pencil and paper.
1108
01:09:31,522 --> 01:09:33,189
Sit here
and write me something.
1109
01:09:35,091 --> 01:09:36,393
I-I can't.
1110
01:09:37,661 --> 01:09:40,764
I don't think
I can anymore.
1111
01:09:40,898 --> 01:09:42,198
Why?
1112
01:09:42,332 --> 01:09:43,700
It's just...
1113
01:09:43,834 --> 01:09:47,371
no one even cares
to hear my stories anyway.
1114
01:09:47,504 --> 01:09:49,807
Write something for me.
1115
01:09:51,140 --> 01:09:52,910
You are a writer.
1116
01:09:53,075 --> 01:09:55,446
Even before anyone knew
or paid you.
1117
01:09:55,579 --> 01:09:57,514
I'm very sick, and you must
do what I say.
1118
01:10:00,484 --> 01:10:02,586
Do what Marmee
taught us to do.
1119
01:10:02,719 --> 01:10:05,087
Do it for someone else.
1120
01:10:06,490 --> 01:10:08,292
If you're walking to Vermont,
1121
01:10:08,425 --> 01:10:11,462
there's a Mrs. Sewall
in Keene, New Hampshire,
1122
01:10:11,595 --> 01:10:13,162
who will give you
room and board.
1123
01:10:13,297 --> 01:10:14,665
There you are.
1124
01:10:14,798 --> 01:10:16,834
You should go home.
I can take care of this.
1125
01:10:16,966 --> 01:10:19,168
No, I need to be here.
1126
01:10:19,303 --> 01:10:21,672
I've spent my whole life
ashamed of my country.
1127
01:10:21,805 --> 01:10:24,842
No offense meant,
but you should still be ashamed.
1128
01:10:24,974 --> 01:10:26,643
I know. I am.
1129
01:10:33,584 --> 01:10:36,253
- Hello, sir.
- Hello, ma'am.
1130
01:10:36,386 --> 01:10:38,020
Do you have sons in the Army?
1131
01:10:39,222 --> 01:10:40,924
Yes, ma'am.
I had four.
1132
01:10:41,057 --> 01:10:45,295
But two were killed,
and one is a prisoner.
1133
01:10:45,429 --> 01:10:46,996
I'm going to the other,
1134
01:10:47,129 --> 01:10:49,433
who's very sick
in a Washington hospital.
1135
01:10:51,635 --> 01:10:54,738
You've done a great deal
for your country, sir.
1136
01:10:54,872 --> 01:11:00,176
I'd go myself if I was any use,
but as I ain't, I give my boys.
1137
01:11:03,547 --> 01:11:06,416
Sir, I'll get you a blanket...
1138
01:11:10,787 --> 01:11:12,923
to keep you warm.
1139
01:11:16,894 --> 01:11:19,663
- Thank you. God bless.
- Bless you, sir.
1140
01:11:19,796 --> 01:11:24,233
Mrs. March. Telegram
from Washington, ma'am.
1141
01:11:24,368 --> 01:11:28,037
- Is Jo back yet from Aunt March?
- No, I haven't seen her yet.
1142
01:11:28,170 --> 01:11:30,407
- I've got it!
- Want another pair of shoes?
1143
01:11:30,541 --> 01:11:33,544
Thank you. I can't miss
the last train.
1144
01:11:33,677 --> 01:11:36,413
- Did you get Father's shirts?
- Yes, I did.
1145
01:11:36,547 --> 01:11:38,214
What can I do to help, Beth?
1146
01:11:38,348 --> 01:11:40,149
- Thank you for being here.
- Of course.
1147
01:11:40,284 --> 01:11:43,152
- You find the blanket?
- If I may be of more assistance,
1148
01:11:43,287 --> 01:11:44,755
please tell me.
1149
01:11:44,888 --> 01:11:46,690
I'll look in on the girls
without fail.
1150
01:11:46,823 --> 01:11:48,559
Do we need
more books or cloth?
1151
01:11:48,692 --> 01:11:50,694
- Thank you.
- I've always admired your husband.
1152
01:11:50,827 --> 01:11:52,161
I pray for a quick recovery.
1153
01:11:52,296 --> 01:11:53,697
I found these linens.
1154
01:11:53,830 --> 01:11:56,132
- Hannah, medicine?
- The medicine is packed.
1155
01:11:56,266 --> 01:11:58,234
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I came to offer myself
1156
01:11:58,368 --> 01:11:59,603
as escort to your mother.
1157
01:11:59,736 --> 01:12:01,738
Mr. Laurence has commissions
in Washington.
1158
01:12:01,872 --> 01:12:04,808
It would give me satisfaction
to be of service to her there.
1159
01:12:04,942 --> 01:12:06,944
- Oh!
- Thank you.
1160
01:12:07,076 --> 01:12:08,378
Of course.
1161
01:12:10,047 --> 01:12:11,582
All right, while I'm gone,
1162
01:12:11,715 --> 01:12:12,783
Hannah is in charge.
1163
01:12:12,916 --> 01:12:14,484
Remember to check
on the Hummels.
1164
01:12:14,618 --> 01:12:16,653
It will be a difficult winter
for everyone.
1165
01:12:16,787 --> 01:12:19,121
Will this be enough
for the train?
1166
01:12:19,256 --> 01:12:20,924
Twenty-five dollars?
1167
01:12:21,058 --> 01:12:23,125
That's not like Aunt March
to be so generous.
1168
01:12:23,260 --> 01:12:25,161
I didn't go to her.
I couldn't bear to.
1169
01:12:25,295 --> 01:12:27,898
- Where'd you get the money?
- I only sold what was my own.
1170
01:12:28,031 --> 01:12:31,068
- Oh!
- Jo! Your hair!
1171
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,202
- Your one beauty.
- You look like a boy.
1172
01:12:33,337 --> 01:12:37,474
Well, it doesn't affect the fate
of the nation, so don't wail.
1173
01:12:37,608 --> 01:12:39,977
Oh, I'm so proud
you're my daughter.
1174
01:12:40,142 --> 01:12:42,446
I was just crazy
to do something for Father.
1175
01:12:42,579 --> 01:12:44,448
It'll be good
for my vanity anyway.
1176
01:12:44,581 --> 01:12:46,115
- That could be nice.
- Never do that.
1177
01:12:46,248 --> 01:12:48,385
- Isn't what I wanted for her.
- Oh, Teddy.
1178
01:12:50,354 --> 01:12:52,422
Oh, Jo.
1179
01:12:52,556 --> 01:12:55,224
My girls,
I love you more than words can say.
1180
01:12:55,359 --> 01:12:58,428
Be good to each other.
Pray for Father's recovery.
1181
01:12:58,562 --> 01:13:01,832
And I'll be back as soon
as I can. Love you.
1182
01:13:09,506 --> 01:13:11,041
Jo.
1183
01:13:12,809 --> 01:13:15,278
What is it? Is it Father?
1184
01:13:15,412 --> 01:13:16,546
No.
1185
01:13:17,681 --> 01:13:19,683
It's my hair.
1186
01:13:24,521 --> 01:13:27,189
I would feel the same way.
1187
01:13:27,324 --> 01:13:29,026
I know you would.
1188
01:13:31,895 --> 01:13:34,498
Laurie, when are you
going back to your grandfather?
1189
01:13:34,631 --> 01:13:36,133
Very soon.
1190
01:13:37,734 --> 01:13:39,803
You've said that a dozen times
in the past month.
1191
01:13:39,936 --> 01:13:41,170
Short answers
save trouble.
1192
01:13:41,304 --> 01:13:42,806
Well, he is expecting you,
1193
01:13:42,939 --> 01:13:44,975
so why don't you do it?
1194
01:13:45,108 --> 01:13:48,979
- Natural depravity, I suppose.
- Natural indolence, you mean.
1195
01:13:49,112 --> 01:13:50,647
I'll only plague him if I go,
1196
01:13:50,781 --> 01:13:52,883
so I might as well stay
and plague you longer.
1197
01:13:53,016 --> 01:13:55,652
You can bear it. In fact,
I think it agrees with you.
1198
01:13:55,786 --> 01:13:57,688
Stop it. Stop.
1199
01:14:02,224 --> 01:14:04,594
- What are you doing?
- I'm looking at you.
1200
01:14:04,728 --> 01:14:07,531
I mean, what do you
intend to do?
1201
01:14:07,664 --> 01:14:08,665
- With life?
- Yes.
1202
01:14:08,799 --> 01:14:10,367
I've been writing an opera.
1203
01:14:10,500 --> 01:14:13,904
- I would be the central figure.
- That's a waste of time.
1204
01:14:14,037 --> 01:14:16,205
What would you have me do?
1205
01:14:25,382 --> 01:14:28,552
Go and work for your grandfather
and make something of yourself.
1206
01:14:28,685 --> 01:14:31,321
You're not playing fair.
1207
01:14:36,326 --> 01:14:37,427
Here.
1208
01:14:41,498 --> 01:14:43,500
That's... That's very good.
1209
01:14:45,168 --> 01:14:46,536
When did you do this one?
1210
01:14:48,305 --> 01:14:50,040
It was the day at the beach.
1211
01:14:51,374 --> 01:14:53,276
First time I met Fred.
1212
01:14:53,410 --> 01:14:54,511
That's right.
1213
01:15:00,517 --> 01:15:01,685
What's he doing?
1214
01:15:04,588 --> 01:15:08,658
He's in London on business.
He'll be back in a few weeks.
1215
01:15:26,376 --> 01:15:27,944
Don't marry him.
1216
01:15:29,746 --> 01:15:30,814
What?
1217
01:15:34,117 --> 01:15:35,385
Don't marry him.
1218
01:15:37,255 --> 01:15:38,555
Why?
1219
01:15:38,688 --> 01:15:40,791
Why? You know why.
1220
01:15:45,028 --> 01:15:47,265
No. No.
1221
01:15:47,397 --> 01:15:49,332
- Yes.
- No. Laurie.
1222
01:15:49,466 --> 01:15:50,934
- What?
- You're being mean.
1223
01:15:51,067 --> 01:15:53,603
- Stop it. Stop it.
- What? How am I being mean?
1224
01:15:53,737 --> 01:15:57,507
I have been second to Jo
my whole life in everything.
1225
01:15:57,641 --> 01:16:00,010
I will not be
the person you settle for
1226
01:16:00,143 --> 01:16:02,012
just because
you cannot have her.
1227
01:16:02,145 --> 01:16:03,814
I won't. I won't do it.
1228
01:16:07,417 --> 01:16:11,621
I won't. Not when I've spent
my entire life loving you.
1229
01:16:24,302 --> 01:16:26,536
I'm making a mold
of my foot for Laurie
1230
01:16:26,670 --> 01:16:28,572
to remind him
I have nice feet.
1231
01:16:28,705 --> 01:16:33,810
Mr. Brooke writes that Father is
still very weak but improving.
1232
01:16:33,944 --> 01:16:35,679
Mr. Brooke also says
that Mother
1233
01:16:35,812 --> 01:16:37,614
is the best nurse
a man could ask for.
1234
01:16:37,747 --> 01:16:40,517
I wish all the letters were
from Mother and not Mr. Brooke.
1235
01:16:40,650 --> 01:16:42,185
I'm grateful for any letters.
1236
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,788
I think the purple is
very fitting for Mr. Laurence.
1237
01:16:44,921 --> 01:16:45,989
- Do you agree, Amy?
- Quite.
1238
01:16:46,122 --> 01:16:47,390
The design is very cunning.
1239
01:16:47,524 --> 01:16:49,059
I had to thank him
for allowing me
1240
01:16:49,192 --> 01:16:51,228
to play the piano
at his house all the time.
1241
01:16:51,361 --> 01:16:52,662
I'm going for groceries.
1242
01:16:52,796 --> 01:16:54,664
- Jo, can you get more firewood?
- Mm-hm.
1243
01:16:54,798 --> 01:16:56,900
You haven't been to
the Hummels. We should go.
1244
01:16:57,033 --> 01:16:59,035
We barely have enough
to feed ourselves.
1245
01:16:59,169 --> 01:17:00,670
I have to finish this story.
1246
01:17:00,804 --> 01:17:02,739
- Marmee said...
- Marmee told us to do lots,
1247
01:17:02,873 --> 01:17:04,474
but we can't
possibly do them all.
1248
01:17:04,608 --> 01:17:07,210
I always go myself. You haven't
kept up with your tasks.
1249
01:17:07,345 --> 01:17:10,413
- We do. We work.
- Don't worry. We'll find a time.
1250
01:17:10,547 --> 01:17:12,115
- But it's been weeks.
- We'll go soon.
1251
01:17:12,249 --> 01:17:14,217
My foot is stuck!
I can't get it out!
1252
01:17:14,352 --> 01:17:17,420
Stop it, Jo! I can't get it out!
1253
01:17:17,554 --> 01:17:19,923
I'm going to lose my foot. Ow!
1254
01:17:20,056 --> 01:17:21,758
Fine. I'll go myself.
1255
01:17:24,895 --> 01:17:27,864
Hello. For Mr. Laurence.
1256
01:17:39,109 --> 01:17:40,443
Oh! Here she comes.
1257
01:17:50,587 --> 01:17:52,256
Beth, look what
they got you!
1258
01:17:52,390 --> 01:17:53,823
A letter from
the old gentleman.
1259
01:17:53,957 --> 01:17:55,892
Open the note.
1260
01:17:56,026 --> 01:17:57,594
Oh, Beth, just look.
1261
01:18:02,132 --> 01:18:05,602
Jo, read the letter.
I cannot.
1262
01:18:05,735 --> 01:18:07,570
"Miss Beth March,
I have had
1263
01:18:07,704 --> 01:18:09,572
"many pairs of slippers
in my life,
1264
01:18:09,706 --> 01:18:12,976
"but I never had any
that suited me so well as yours.
1265
01:18:13,109 --> 01:18:15,879
"And they will always remind me
of the gentle giver.
1266
01:18:16,012 --> 01:18:19,383
"I like to pay my debts and hope
you will accept this gift.
1267
01:18:19,516 --> 01:18:22,786
Your grateful friend and
humble servant, James Laurence."
1268
01:18:22,919 --> 01:18:25,755
Oh, Beth!
So sweet. "Your humble servant."
1269
01:18:25,889 --> 01:18:27,958
- Isn't it beautiful?
- Look how shiny it is!
1270
01:18:28,091 --> 01:18:29,427
- Yes.
- It has gold that goes
1271
01:18:29,559 --> 01:18:31,561
- all the way around.
- All the way around!
1272
01:18:31,695 --> 01:18:35,065
- His handwriting is beautiful.
- It's got a little drawer here.
1273
01:18:47,644 --> 01:18:51,081
Sir, I wanted
to thank you for...
1274
01:19:02,393 --> 01:19:04,761
You remind me...
1275
01:19:04,894 --> 01:19:06,930
so much of my little girl.
1276
01:19:08,265 --> 01:19:09,367
Hm?
1277
01:19:10,633 --> 01:19:12,035
The piano is yours.
1278
01:19:12,168 --> 01:19:14,472
I should have given it
to you long ago.
1279
01:19:14,604 --> 01:19:16,039
Thank you.
1280
01:19:17,341 --> 01:19:18,476
My child...
1281
01:19:20,043 --> 01:19:21,578
you're burning.
1282
01:19:23,146 --> 01:19:25,316
The Hummels
are very sick.
1283
01:19:35,725 --> 01:19:36,860
She's resting.
1284
01:19:36,993 --> 01:19:39,095
How is she?
Is there anything I can do?
1285
01:19:39,229 --> 01:19:40,830
- What is it?
- Scarlet fever.
1286
01:19:40,964 --> 01:19:41,931
What's scarlet fever?
1287
01:19:42,065 --> 01:19:43,199
I visited the Hummels.
1288
01:19:43,334 --> 01:19:44,567
The baby has died.
1289
01:19:44,701 --> 01:19:46,404
Have you all
had it before?
1290
01:19:46,536 --> 01:19:49,606
- Meg and I have, but Amy hasn't.
- She'll have to be sent away.
1291
01:19:49,739 --> 01:19:51,074
I don't want
to be sent away.
1292
01:19:51,207 --> 01:19:53,511
- Aunt March can take her.
- I don't like Aunt March.
1293
01:19:53,643 --> 01:19:56,347
- It's for your own good, child.
- Should we send for Mother?
1294
01:19:56,480 --> 01:19:57,914
Now, we shouldn't
worry her.
1295
01:19:58,048 --> 01:20:00,183
I've never wished for money
more than now.
1296
01:20:00,317 --> 01:20:04,388
Listen, we'll nurse her
and she'll get better.
1297
01:20:04,522 --> 01:20:05,755
She will.
1298
01:20:07,891 --> 01:20:11,628
"The post office in the forest
was a capital little institution
1299
01:20:11,761 --> 01:20:13,229
"and flourished wonderfully,
1300
01:20:13,364 --> 01:20:15,165
"for many things
passed through it.
1301
01:20:15,299 --> 01:20:18,935
"Poetry and pickles,
music and gingerbread,
1302
01:20:19,069 --> 01:20:22,005
invitations, scoldings
and even puppies."
1303
01:20:24,574 --> 01:20:26,444
- It's all about us.
- It is.
1304
01:20:28,011 --> 01:20:30,080
- I love it.
- Mm, it's just a little story.
1305
01:20:30,213 --> 01:20:31,848
Nothing like
what you usually write.
1306
01:20:31,981 --> 01:20:34,217
- Think it's too boring?
- No, it's my favorite one.
1307
01:20:34,351 --> 01:20:35,752
- Really?
- Write me another.
1308
01:20:35,885 --> 01:20:37,288
- Yes, ma'am.
- Keep writing them.
1309
01:20:37,421 --> 01:20:39,889
- I will.
- Even when I'm not here.
1310
01:20:43,893 --> 01:20:46,229
- Don't say that. Don't say it.
- I have to tell you.
1311
01:20:46,363 --> 01:20:48,399
- No, you don't.
- I've had a very long time
1312
01:20:48,532 --> 01:20:50,468
to think about this, and...
1313
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:52,969
- And I'm not afraid.
- No.
1314
01:20:53,103 --> 01:20:54,472
Nope.
1315
01:20:57,774 --> 01:20:59,142
It's like the tide going out.
1316
01:20:59,276 --> 01:21:01,545
It goes out slowly,
but it can't be stopped.
1317
01:21:08,118 --> 01:21:09,986
I'll stop it.
1318
01:21:24,502 --> 01:21:26,636
I stopped it before.
1319
01:21:42,919 --> 01:21:45,623
You will get better,
Father will get better,
1320
01:21:45,755 --> 01:21:47,891
and we'll all be
together soon, all right?
1321
01:21:49,192 --> 01:21:50,960
We...
1322
01:21:51,094 --> 01:21:52,662
We can't stop God's will.
1323
01:21:52,795 --> 01:21:54,998
Well, God hasn't met
my will yet.
1324
01:21:55,131 --> 01:21:57,468
What Jo wills
shall be done.
1325
01:22:13,716 --> 01:22:15,051
Amy.
1326
01:22:15,185 --> 01:22:16,719
Come here.
1327
01:22:23,260 --> 01:22:25,563
- Yes?
- Come, sit.
1328
01:22:33,270 --> 01:22:37,040
If you are very good, one day,
this ring will belong to you.
1329
01:22:39,776 --> 01:22:41,744
- Really?
- If you keep being
1330
01:22:41,878 --> 01:22:43,980
a proper young lady,
just see if it doesn't.
1331
01:22:48,985 --> 01:22:50,987
You are your family's
hope now.
1332
01:22:52,289 --> 01:22:55,091
Beth is sick,
Jo is a lost cause,
1333
01:22:55,225 --> 01:22:57,328
and I hear Meg
has had her head turned
1334
01:22:57,461 --> 01:22:59,496
by a penniless tutor, so...
1335
01:23:01,064 --> 01:23:04,501
it'll be up to you
to support them all.
1336
01:23:06,303 --> 01:23:08,771
And your indigent parents
in their old age.
1337
01:23:10,341 --> 01:23:11,941
So you must marry well.
1338
01:23:13,544 --> 01:23:14,545
Hm?
1339
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:18,081
Save your family.
1340
01:23:21,452 --> 01:23:22,586
All right, that's, uh...
1341
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,723
That's all I wanted
to say to you.
1342
01:23:25,855 --> 01:23:29,560
So you can go back
and do your little painting.
1343
01:23:37,967 --> 01:23:40,738
- Hello, Aunt March.
- Oh.
1344
01:23:40,870 --> 01:23:43,440
That Laurence boy
was just here.
1345
01:23:43,574 --> 01:23:45,808
- He was?
- What a disappointment
1346
01:23:45,942 --> 01:23:47,745
he's turned out to be.
1347
01:23:47,910 --> 01:23:49,580
Must be the Italian in him.
1348
01:23:49,713 --> 01:23:51,781
Uh, when...
When will he be back?
1349
01:23:51,914 --> 01:23:54,285
Mm, he's gone.
1350
01:23:54,418 --> 01:23:55,619
To London.
1351
01:23:57,388 --> 01:23:58,489
Why?
1352
01:23:59,822 --> 01:24:02,091
What do you need
to discuss with him?
1353
01:24:16,307 --> 01:24:20,277
I... I just told Fred Vaughn
I wouldn't marry him.
1354
01:24:44,167 --> 01:24:45,201
Meg.
1355
01:24:52,008 --> 01:24:54,143
I'll come home to
help with the children.
1356
01:24:54,278 --> 01:24:56,212
I just... I'm so worried
for Beth.
1357
01:24:56,347 --> 01:24:59,115
Stay. I asked for leave. I will
take care of the children.
1358
01:24:59,248 --> 01:25:00,451
Oh, John.
1359
01:25:03,152 --> 01:25:05,021
One other thing.
Send your fabric
1360
01:25:05,154 --> 01:25:06,956
to the dressmaker
as soon as possible.
1361
01:25:07,090 --> 01:25:09,125
- I can't.
- I don't want to hear a word.
1362
01:25:09,259 --> 01:25:10,728
I want you to have that dress.
1363
01:25:10,860 --> 01:25:13,162
My old coat will be fine
for the winter.
1364
01:25:13,297 --> 01:25:14,498
- John, I...
- It's all settled.
1365
01:25:14,631 --> 01:25:16,800
John, I really can't.
1366
01:25:16,933 --> 01:25:19,001
I sold the fabric
to Sallie.
1367
01:25:21,137 --> 01:25:22,306
You did?
1368
01:25:24,541 --> 01:25:26,744
I don't want you
to be unhappy.
1369
01:25:26,876 --> 01:25:28,945
I couldn't be.
1370
01:25:29,078 --> 01:25:32,616
John Brooke is my husband.
1371
01:25:32,750 --> 01:25:34,284
And I am his wife.
1372
01:25:40,189 --> 01:25:41,592
Oh!
1373
01:25:41,725 --> 01:25:44,528
Hannah! It's all right.
It's all right.
1374
01:25:49,031 --> 01:25:50,534
What do we do?
1375
01:25:52,436 --> 01:25:54,237
We should send for your mother.
1376
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:10,987
- Marmee!
- Bless you.
1377
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,122
She's worse. I didn't know
what else to do.
1378
01:26:13,257 --> 01:26:15,224
- Jo, how is she?
- My girls.
1379
01:26:15,359 --> 01:26:16,393
My sweet Beth.
1380
01:26:16,527 --> 01:26:17,761
Hannah, make a clear broth.
1381
01:26:17,895 --> 01:26:19,797
Jo, get ice.
We need to cool you.
1382
01:26:21,632 --> 01:26:23,232
Who's with Father?
1383
01:26:23,367 --> 01:26:24,668
John stayed with him.
1384
01:26:24,802 --> 01:26:26,603
We need to change
the linens.
1385
01:26:26,737 --> 01:26:29,205
We're going to move you,
sweet girl.
1386
01:26:29,339 --> 01:26:30,541
- Oh, look at her.
- That's it.
1387
01:26:30,674 --> 01:26:31,742
Hold on. It's okay.
1388
01:26:34,076 --> 01:26:35,546
I know.
1389
01:27:25,462 --> 01:27:26,964
Please fight.
1390
01:27:33,035 --> 01:27:35,238
Don't go quietly.
1391
01:27:35,372 --> 01:27:37,674
Fight.
1392
01:27:37,808 --> 01:27:40,911
Please, please, just fight
to the end and be loud,
1393
01:27:41,043 --> 01:27:43,580
and don't just
quietly go away, Beth.
1394
01:28:06,670 --> 01:28:07,771
Marmee?
1395
01:28:10,841 --> 01:28:12,442
Marmee?
1396
01:28:12,576 --> 01:28:14,076
Marmee?
1397
01:28:15,812 --> 01:28:18,615
Oh! Oh!
1398
01:28:18,749 --> 01:28:20,017
Jo.
1399
01:28:23,854 --> 01:28:25,022
Jo.
1400
01:28:27,223 --> 01:28:28,625
Merry Christmas, Beth.
1401
01:28:28,759 --> 01:28:30,527
Popcorn. Make sure
it's in the middle.
1402
01:28:30,661 --> 01:28:32,228
- I know.
- You're doing the sides first.
1403
01:28:32,362 --> 01:28:34,163
The sides aren't spaced
for my popcorn.
1404
01:28:34,298 --> 01:28:36,433
I'm making a popcorn garland.
1405
01:28:36,567 --> 01:28:39,369
You're wasting decorations,
and they're not dangling right.
1406
01:28:39,503 --> 01:28:42,539
The sides are most important.
If you don't have the sides...
1407
01:28:42,673 --> 01:28:45,275
Here's another Christmas gift
for the March family.
1408
01:28:46,476 --> 01:28:49,211
- Oh, my God! Father!
- Father!
1409
01:28:49,346 --> 01:28:50,347
Father!
1410
01:28:53,850 --> 01:28:55,217
My little women.
1411
01:28:57,219 --> 01:28:59,022
How you've grown.
1412
01:28:59,923 --> 01:29:01,758
Oh, Beth.
1413
01:29:01,892 --> 01:29:03,694
Merry Christmas, my dear.
1414
01:29:03,827 --> 01:29:06,763
- Merry Christmas to each of you.
- Merry Christmas, Father.
1415
01:29:06,897 --> 01:29:07,965
Merry Christmas.
1416
01:29:10,701 --> 01:29:12,469
Oh, thank God.
1417
01:29:12,603 --> 01:29:15,572
- Thank God you're home.
- Thank God for you.
1418
01:29:15,706 --> 01:29:18,075
Now I can be angry
with you in person.
1419
01:31:26,903 --> 01:31:30,173
I can't believe
today is my wedding day.
1420
01:31:30,307 --> 01:31:32,075
Mm.
1421
01:31:32,209 --> 01:31:33,877
What's wrong?
1422
01:31:34,010 --> 01:31:35,112
Nothing.
1423
01:31:36,046 --> 01:31:36,947
Jo.
1424
01:31:40,450 --> 01:31:42,753
We can leave.
We can leave right now.
1425
01:31:42,886 --> 01:31:44,955
I can make money.
I'll sell stories.
1426
01:31:45,088 --> 01:31:46,957
I'll do anything.
I'll cook. I'll clean.
1427
01:31:47,090 --> 01:31:49,559
I'll work in a factory.
I can make a life for us.
1428
01:31:49,693 --> 01:31:51,728
- Jo...
- And you should be an actress,
1429
01:31:51,862 --> 01:31:53,797
and you should have a life
on the stage.
1430
01:31:53,930 --> 01:31:55,499
Let's just run away together.
1431
01:31:55,632 --> 01:31:58,135
- I want to get married.
- Oh, why?
1432
01:31:58,268 --> 01:31:59,770
Because I love him.
1433
01:31:59,903 --> 01:32:02,939
You will be bored of him
in two years,
1434
01:32:03,073 --> 01:32:04,975
and we will be
interesting forever.
1435
01:32:05,108 --> 01:32:07,310
Just because my dreams
are different than yours
1436
01:32:07,444 --> 01:32:09,479
doesn't mean
they're unimportant.
1437
01:32:11,114 --> 01:32:13,251
I want a home.
1438
01:32:13,383 --> 01:32:16,787
And a family. And I'm willing
to work and struggle.
1439
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:19,923
But I want to do it
with John.
1440
01:32:24,761 --> 01:32:26,963
I just hate
that you're leaving me.
1441
01:32:28,398 --> 01:32:29,466
Don't leave.
1442
01:32:29,599 --> 01:32:30,934
Oh, Jo.
1443
01:32:33,837 --> 01:32:35,438
I'm not leaving you.
1444
01:32:35,572 --> 01:32:37,808
And besides...
1445
01:32:39,976 --> 01:32:42,412
one day,
it will be your turn.
1446
01:32:49,119 --> 01:32:51,788
I'd rather be a free spinster
and paddle my own canoe.
1447
01:32:53,056 --> 01:32:54,357
I would.
1448
01:33:00,463 --> 01:33:02,632
Can't believe childhood is over.
1449
01:33:04,668 --> 01:33:07,704
It was going to end
one way or another.
1450
01:33:07,838 --> 01:33:09,472
And what a happy end.
1451
01:33:11,908 --> 01:33:14,044
What excessive promises...
1452
01:33:14,177 --> 01:33:17,614
giving yourself away
to get the other.
1453
01:33:17,747 --> 01:33:19,216
What a gift.
1454
01:33:19,349 --> 01:33:24,621
Always given before is known
the cost or the reward.
1455
01:33:24,754 --> 01:33:26,056
I pronounce you
man and wife.
1456
01:33:27,624 --> 01:33:29,559
You may kiss
the bride.
1457
01:34:06,396 --> 01:34:08,366
Oh, don't have to make a fuss.
1458
01:34:08,498 --> 01:34:10,600
You don't need
to see me to the carriage.
1459
01:34:10,734 --> 01:34:11,902
Oh, I'm happy to.
1460
01:34:12,035 --> 01:34:14,738
I hope you will be
happy now...
1461
01:34:14,871 --> 01:34:17,574
that you've ruined your life
the same way your mother did
1462
01:34:17,707 --> 01:34:19,442
by marrying your father.
1463
01:34:19,576 --> 01:34:21,912
My dear sister,
you're too kind.
1464
01:34:22,045 --> 01:34:23,880
And thank you
for today's festivities.
1465
01:34:24,014 --> 01:34:25,048
You're most welcome.
1466
01:34:25,181 --> 01:34:26,483
Thank you, Aunt March.
1467
01:34:26,616 --> 01:34:29,953
Oh, I don't like
to be, uh, kissed.
1468
01:34:30,086 --> 01:34:32,589
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Well, you will be sorry
1469
01:34:32,722 --> 01:34:35,725
when you've tried love in a
cottage and found it a failure.
1470
01:34:35,859 --> 01:34:38,762
It can't be worse than
some people find in big houses.
1471
01:34:38,895 --> 01:34:42,999
Oh, I quite understand
your meaning, missus.
1472
01:34:43,133 --> 01:34:44,668
I don't miss a thing.
1473
01:34:44,801 --> 01:34:46,603
We know this.
1474
01:34:46,736 --> 01:34:49,706
And you're not
entirely wrong.
1475
01:34:49,839 --> 01:34:53,910
I may not always be right,
but I'm never wrong.
1476
01:34:54,044 --> 01:34:57,747
Oh, and here is the only
sane member of the family.
1477
01:34:59,182 --> 01:35:00,917
I really can't take
any more of this.
1478
01:35:01,051 --> 01:35:03,321
- I know.
- You can imagine.
1479
01:35:10,927 --> 01:35:14,064
Marmee! Marmee!
Marmee, Marmee, Marmee!
1480
01:35:14,197 --> 01:35:16,132
- What?
- Aunt March is going to Europe.
1481
01:35:16,267 --> 01:35:18,835
Oh, and she wants me
to go with her! Ha, ha!
1482
01:35:18,969 --> 01:35:21,171
That's wonderful!
Now I know why I spent
1483
01:35:21,305 --> 01:35:23,073
all those boring hours
reading to her.
1484
01:35:23,206 --> 01:35:24,674
No, no,
she wants me to go.
1485
01:35:26,242 --> 01:35:28,111
As her companion.
1486
01:35:28,244 --> 01:35:31,081
- Europe, with you?
- Yes, she wants me
1487
01:35:31,214 --> 01:35:33,351
to work on my art
and my French, of course.
1488
01:35:33,483 --> 01:35:36,586
You don't really
like French though, do you?
1489
01:35:38,888 --> 01:35:40,291
That's wonderful, Amy.
1490
01:35:42,792 --> 01:35:45,495
- Father! I'm going to Europe!
- Oh, ha, ha!
1491
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:18,396
Meg married.
1492
01:36:18,528 --> 01:36:20,597
Amy off to Europe.
1493
01:36:20,730 --> 01:36:25,436
And now that you're a graduate,
you'll be off on a long holiday.
1494
01:36:25,568 --> 01:36:28,738
I'm just not good like Beth,
so I'm angry and restless.
1495
01:36:28,872 --> 01:36:31,509
You don't have
to stay here, Jo.
1496
01:36:31,641 --> 01:36:34,044
Why? Should we run off
and join a pirate ship?
1497
01:36:40,150 --> 01:36:42,118
- No. No.
- It's no use, Jo.
1498
01:36:42,253 --> 01:36:43,521
- Don't.
- We gotta have it out.
1499
01:36:43,653 --> 01:36:44,687
- No.
- I have loved you
1500
01:36:44,821 --> 01:36:46,056
ever since I've known you.
1501
01:36:46,189 --> 01:36:47,291
I couldn't help it.
1502
01:36:47,425 --> 01:36:49,527
I tried to show
and you wouldn't let me.
1503
01:36:49,659 --> 01:36:51,495
- No.
- But I must make you hear now
1504
01:36:51,628 --> 01:36:54,197
and give me an answer because
I cannot go on like this!
1505
01:36:54,331 --> 01:36:55,899
- Please don't.
- I gave up billiards.
1506
01:36:56,032 --> 01:36:58,568
I gave up everything you
didn't like. I'm happy I did.
1507
01:36:58,701 --> 01:37:03,206
It's fine, and I waited, and
I never complained because I...
1508
01:37:03,340 --> 01:37:06,576
You know, I figured
you'd love me, Jo.
1509
01:37:06,709 --> 01:37:08,611
And I realize
I'm not half good enough
1510
01:37:08,745 --> 01:37:10,947
- and I'm not this great man...
- No! Yes, you are.
1511
01:37:11,081 --> 01:37:12,749
You're a great deal
too good for me.
1512
01:37:12,882 --> 01:37:16,619
I'm so grateful to you, and I'm
so proud of you, and I just...
1513
01:37:16,753 --> 01:37:19,856
I don't see why I can't
love you as you want me to.
1514
01:37:19,989 --> 01:37:21,925
I don't know why.
1515
01:37:22,058 --> 01:37:23,093
You can't?
1516
01:37:23,226 --> 01:37:25,396
No. I can't.
1517
01:37:25,529 --> 01:37:27,864
I can't change
how I feel, and...
1518
01:37:29,599 --> 01:37:32,235
it would be a lie
to say I do when I don't.
1519
01:37:33,571 --> 01:37:35,872
I'm so sorry, Teddy.
1520
01:37:36,005 --> 01:37:38,775
I'm so sorry,
but I just can't help it.
1521
01:37:38,908 --> 01:37:41,111
I can't love anyone else, Jo.
I only love you.
1522
01:37:41,244 --> 01:37:43,012
It would be a disaster
if we married.
1523
01:37:43,146 --> 01:37:44,881
- It wouldn't be.
- We'd be miserable.
1524
01:37:45,014 --> 01:37:46,916
- I'd be a perfect saint.
- I can't! I can't!
1525
01:37:47,050 --> 01:37:48,419
I've tried
and failed. I can't.
1526
01:37:48,552 --> 01:37:49,819
Why does everyone
expect it?
1527
01:37:49,953 --> 01:37:51,788
Your family
and my grandpa expect it.
1528
01:37:51,921 --> 01:37:53,957
Why are you saying this?
Say yes.
1529
01:37:54,090 --> 01:37:57,261
- Let's be happy together, Jo!
- I can't say yes truly,
1530
01:37:57,394 --> 01:37:58,962
so I'm not going
to say it at all.
1531
01:37:59,095 --> 01:38:01,332
And you'll see that
I'm right eventually,
1532
01:38:01,465 --> 01:38:03,267
and you'll thank me for it.
1533
01:38:07,404 --> 01:38:09,306
I'd rather hang myself
than realize this.
1534
01:38:09,440 --> 01:38:11,708
- Teddy.
- I would rather be dead.
1535
01:38:11,841 --> 01:38:13,143
Teddy, don't say that.
1536
01:38:14,311 --> 01:38:15,279
Teddy.
1537
01:38:17,013 --> 01:38:20,950
Listen, you'll find
some lovely, accomplished girl
1538
01:38:21,084 --> 01:38:23,653
who will love you
and adore you.
1539
01:38:23,786 --> 01:38:25,221
She's gonna make
a fine mistress
1540
01:38:25,356 --> 01:38:27,491
for your fine house,
but I wouldn't.
1541
01:38:27,625 --> 01:38:28,992
- Yes, you would, Jo.
- Look at me.
1542
01:38:29,125 --> 01:38:30,960
I'm homely, I'm awkward,
and I'm odd.
1543
01:38:31,094 --> 01:38:33,196
- I love you, Jo.
- And you'd be ashamed of me.
1544
01:38:33,330 --> 01:38:35,064
- I love you, Jo.
- And we would quarrel
1545
01:38:35,198 --> 01:38:37,233
because we can't help it
even now.
1546
01:38:39,869 --> 01:38:43,006
I'd hate elegant society,
you'd hate my scribbling,
1547
01:38:43,139 --> 01:38:44,375
and we would be unhappy.
1548
01:38:44,508 --> 01:38:46,009
And we'd wish
we hadn't done it,
1549
01:38:46,142 --> 01:38:48,211
and everything
will be horrid.
1550
01:38:50,648 --> 01:38:51,981
Is there anything more?
1551
01:38:53,350 --> 01:38:55,553
- No, nothing more.
- All right.
1552
01:38:55,685 --> 01:38:57,321
Except that...
1553
01:39:01,492 --> 01:39:03,960
Teddy, I don't believe
I will ever marry.
1554
01:39:05,262 --> 01:39:06,796
I'm happy as I am,
1555
01:39:06,930 --> 01:39:08,299
and I love my liberty
too well
1556
01:39:08,432 --> 01:39:09,899
to be in any hurry
to give it up.
1557
01:39:10,033 --> 01:39:11,234
- I think you're wrong.
- No.
1558
01:39:11,368 --> 01:39:12,536
I think you will marry.
1559
01:39:12,670 --> 01:39:14,204
You'll find someone
and love them.
1560
01:39:14,338 --> 01:39:15,805
You will live
and die for them.
1561
01:39:15,939 --> 01:39:17,807
That's your way,
and you will.
1562
01:39:20,877 --> 01:39:22,346
And I'll watch.
1563
01:40:00,351 --> 01:40:03,119
Oh. I don't want
to disturb your writing.
1564
01:40:04,220 --> 01:40:06,323
I don't do that anymore.
1565
01:40:07,957 --> 01:40:09,493
It didn't save her.
1566
01:40:26,075 --> 01:40:28,279
You're much too
lonely here, Jo.
1567
01:40:30,013 --> 01:40:32,750
Wouldn't you like
to go back to New York?
1568
01:40:32,882 --> 01:40:34,418
What about your friend
Friedrich?
1569
01:40:34,551 --> 01:40:35,918
- Wasn't that his name?
- No.
1570
01:40:37,655 --> 01:40:39,789
I ruined our friendship
with my temper,
1571
01:40:39,922 --> 01:40:41,325
just as
I ruin everything.
1572
01:40:41,458 --> 01:40:42,992
I'm sure I'll never
see him again.
1573
01:40:43,126 --> 01:40:46,129
I doubt that a sincere friend
would be deterred.
1574
01:40:48,265 --> 01:40:49,932
I wish that were true.
1575
01:40:53,304 --> 01:40:56,640
If I was a girl in a book,
this would all be so easy.
1576
01:40:58,808 --> 01:41:00,977
Just give up
the world happily.
1577
01:41:04,947 --> 01:41:07,318
Laurie's returning, you know.
1578
01:41:07,451 --> 01:41:09,085
- Oh, he is?
- Mm.
1579
01:41:09,218 --> 01:41:11,988
There was a letter from Amy.
She's coming home.
1580
01:41:12,121 --> 01:41:14,957
She's devastated about Beth.
1581
01:41:15,091 --> 01:41:19,162
Aunt March is very ill,
so Laurie will accompany them.
1582
01:41:22,399 --> 01:41:24,335
- That's good of him.
- Mm.
1583
01:41:29,306 --> 01:41:31,342
- What is it?
- I don't know.
1584
01:41:31,475 --> 01:41:34,177
I've always been quite
content with my family.
1585
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:38,047
Don't understand it.
1586
01:41:40,451 --> 01:41:42,353
Perhaps, um...
1587
01:41:42,486 --> 01:41:44,887
Perhaps I...
1588
01:41:45,021 --> 01:41:48,492
was too quick
in turning him down.
1589
01:41:48,625 --> 01:41:49,727
Laurie.
1590
01:41:52,161 --> 01:41:53,397
Do you love him?
1591
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:01,170
If he asked me again,
I think I would say yes.
1592
01:42:01,305 --> 01:42:03,873
Do you think
he'll ask me again?
1593
01:42:04,006 --> 01:42:05,709
But do you love him?
1594
01:42:07,511 --> 01:42:09,546
I care more to be loved.
1595
01:42:10,547 --> 01:42:12,783
I want to be loved.
1596
01:42:12,915 --> 01:42:15,218
That is not the same
as loving.
1597
01:42:19,723 --> 01:42:20,791
I know.
1598
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,397
You know, I just...
I just feel...
1599
01:42:26,530 --> 01:42:29,533
I just feel like...
1600
01:42:29,666 --> 01:42:31,635
women, they...
1601
01:42:33,737 --> 01:42:36,407
They have minds
and they have souls,
1602
01:42:36,540 --> 01:42:38,107
as well as just hearts.
1603
01:42:38,241 --> 01:42:40,544
And they've got ambition
and they've got talent,
1604
01:42:40,677 --> 01:42:41,944
as well as just beauty.
1605
01:42:42,078 --> 01:42:44,615
And I'm so sick of
people saying
1606
01:42:44,748 --> 01:42:47,251
that love is just
all a woman is fit for.
1607
01:42:47,384 --> 01:42:49,152
I'm so sick of it.
1608
01:42:50,521 --> 01:42:53,557
But I'm... I'm so lonely.
1609
01:43:36,366 --> 01:43:39,603
Couldn't let you travel alone
with Aunt March being so sick.
1610
01:43:41,305 --> 01:43:43,273
Even if you despise me.
1611
01:43:44,641 --> 01:43:46,643
I don't despise you, Laurie.
1612
01:43:53,951 --> 01:43:56,253
Beth was the best of us.
1613
01:44:08,799 --> 01:44:10,801
I'm not marrying Fred.
1614
01:44:14,271 --> 01:44:17,674
- I heard about that.
- And you are under no obligation
1615
01:44:17,808 --> 01:44:20,711
to say anything
or do anything.
1616
01:44:23,981 --> 01:44:26,517
I just didn't love him
as I should.
1617
01:44:28,184 --> 01:44:29,686
We don't need to talk about it.
1618
01:44:29,820 --> 01:44:31,588
We don't need to say anything.
1619
01:44:47,704 --> 01:44:49,606
My dear Teddy,
1620
01:44:49,740 --> 01:44:52,576
I miss you more
than I can express.
1621
01:44:52,709 --> 01:44:57,014
I used to think that the
worst fate was to be a wife.
1622
01:44:57,179 --> 01:44:59,215
I was young and stupid.
1623
01:45:00,517 --> 01:45:02,352
But now I have changed.
1624
01:45:02,486 --> 01:45:06,790
The worst fate is to live
my life without you in it.
1625
01:45:06,924 --> 01:45:10,994
I was wrong to turn you down
and to run away to New York.
1626
01:45:16,667 --> 01:45:17,868
Oysters!
1627
01:45:22,673 --> 01:45:24,441
Lobsters!
1628
01:45:36,386 --> 01:45:38,288
Jo.
1629
01:45:38,422 --> 01:45:40,222
Jo. Jo.
1630
01:45:41,825 --> 01:45:42,859
Jo.
1631
01:45:43,927 --> 01:45:45,529
Wake up.
1632
01:45:45,662 --> 01:45:46,897
Wake up.
1633
01:45:50,199 --> 01:45:54,972
- Teddy! Oh, you're back.
- Are you glad to see me, then?
1634
01:45:55,104 --> 01:45:56,707
Yes.
1635
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,208
Oh, I was worried.
1636
01:45:59,343 --> 01:46:01,044
Mm. Here, come sit.
1637
01:46:07,216 --> 01:46:08,552
How's Amy?
Did she bother you
1638
01:46:08,685 --> 01:46:10,621
all the way from Europe
with her preening?
1639
01:46:10,754 --> 01:46:12,823
Yes, but I like that.
1640
01:46:12,956 --> 01:46:15,592
- Where is she now?
- Your mother has her at Meg's.
1641
01:46:15,726 --> 01:46:17,126
- We stopped on the way.
- Oh.
1642
01:46:17,260 --> 01:46:19,963
There was no getting my wife
out of their clutches.
1643
01:46:21,765 --> 01:46:23,132
Your what?
1644
01:46:23,266 --> 01:46:25,435
I've done it now.
1645
01:46:25,569 --> 01:46:27,337
It was meant to be
a surprise.
1646
01:46:27,471 --> 01:46:29,439
We were engaged
and were hoping to wait,
1647
01:46:29,573 --> 01:46:32,643
but that is to say that
now we are man and wife.
1648
01:46:35,579 --> 01:46:36,947
You and Amy?
1649
01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:38,180
Yes.
1650
01:46:49,693 --> 01:46:51,028
Are you in love?
1651
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:52,228
Yes.
1652
01:46:55,666 --> 01:46:58,167
I want to say one thing
and then put it away forever.
1653
01:46:58,301 --> 01:47:00,470
I've always loved you.
1654
01:47:00,604 --> 01:47:02,906
But the love I feel for Amy,
it's different.
1655
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:04,708
And I think...
1656
01:47:04,841 --> 01:47:06,076
you were right about this.
1657
01:47:06,208 --> 01:47:08,512
I think we would've killed
each other.
1658
01:47:10,380 --> 01:47:11,882
Yes.
1659
01:47:12,015 --> 01:47:13,917
I think it was meant this way.
1660
01:47:15,652 --> 01:47:17,320
Oh, Teddy.
1661
01:47:17,454 --> 01:47:20,357
You're the only one that ever
calls me that, Jo. "Teddy."
1662
01:47:21,858 --> 01:47:23,393
What does Amy call you?
1663
01:47:23,527 --> 01:47:25,495
"My lord."
1664
01:47:25,629 --> 01:47:27,464
That sounds like her.
1665
01:47:31,535 --> 01:47:33,470
Well, you look
deserving of it.
1666
01:47:36,205 --> 01:47:37,974
Could we still
be friends, Jo, please?
1667
01:47:41,945 --> 01:47:44,648
Of course, my boy. Always.
1668
01:47:55,625 --> 01:47:57,694
She's a painter.
1669
01:47:57,828 --> 01:47:59,262
Are you excited?
1670
01:48:09,740 --> 01:48:12,241
- Laurie told you?
- Yes, yes.
1671
01:48:13,810 --> 01:48:15,746
Amy, I'm so happy for you.
1672
01:48:15,879 --> 01:48:18,081
This... This was meant to be.
1673
01:48:18,215 --> 01:48:20,117
Oh, I'm so relieved.
Thank you.
1674
01:48:20,249 --> 01:48:22,119
I wanted to write, Jo.
I wanted to write.
1675
01:48:22,252 --> 01:48:24,955
I wanted to explain, but
everything was happening so fast
1676
01:48:25,088 --> 01:48:27,057
and I was worried
you'd be angry at me.
1677
01:48:27,190 --> 01:48:29,960
- No. No.
- No, you're not angry at me?
1678
01:48:31,762 --> 01:48:34,097
Life is too short
to be angry at one's sisters.
1679
01:48:40,303 --> 01:48:42,939
- I really miss her.
- I know.
1680
01:48:46,810 --> 01:48:48,111
Thank you.
1681
01:49:46,770 --> 01:49:48,171
Mr. Laurence.
1682
01:49:50,941 --> 01:49:53,009
Jo. Heh.
1683
01:49:53,977 --> 01:49:55,512
Oh, Jo.
1684
01:49:57,848 --> 01:50:01,117
I couldn't bring
myself to, uh...
1685
01:50:05,121 --> 01:50:08,992
The house doesn't seem right
without her, and...
1686
01:50:10,660 --> 01:50:13,063
Couldn't go in,
knowing she wouldn't be there.
1687
01:50:20,537 --> 01:50:23,440
I know I'm not half
so good as my sister,
1688
01:50:23,573 --> 01:50:27,444
but you know I'll be a friend
to lean on, if you'll let me.
1689
01:50:34,818 --> 01:50:36,019
All right.
1690
01:54:01,658 --> 01:54:03,461
Dear Mr. Dashwood,
1691
01:54:03,593 --> 01:54:05,463
enclosed are
the first few chapters
1692
01:54:05,595 --> 01:54:07,964
of a piece
I've only begun working on.
1693
01:54:08,098 --> 01:54:10,100
It could suit as a story
for young people,
1694
01:54:10,233 --> 01:54:12,470
but I think it is
probably quite boring.
1695
01:54:12,602 --> 01:54:14,604
However, I'm sending it to you
just in case
1696
01:54:14,737 --> 01:54:16,906
it has something of value,
though I doubt it.
1697
01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:18,309
Jo March.
1698
01:54:37,561 --> 01:54:39,263
I thought she hated me.
1699
01:54:39,396 --> 01:54:41,764
She could still hate you
and leave you the house.
1700
01:54:41,898 --> 01:54:43,633
What about you and John?
1701
01:54:43,766 --> 01:54:46,970
We can't manage a grand house
like this. It's too big.
1702
01:54:55,412 --> 01:54:57,881
I should sell it,
but I'd love to do something
1703
01:54:58,014 --> 01:55:00,484
that would really make
Aunt March turn in her grave.
1704
01:55:00,618 --> 01:55:02,553
- I wouldn't mind that.
- A nice turning.
1705
01:55:02,685 --> 01:55:04,522
Just a rotation,
nothing terrible.
1706
01:55:04,654 --> 01:55:06,156
What will you do?
1707
01:55:08,158 --> 01:55:10,059
I'd like to open a school.
1708
01:55:10,193 --> 01:55:11,529
We never had
a proper school.
1709
01:55:11,661 --> 01:55:13,464
Now there are
women's colleges opening.
1710
01:55:13,597 --> 01:55:15,466
There should be a school.
For Daisy.
1711
01:55:15,599 --> 01:55:16,833
And what will Demi do?
1712
01:55:16,966 --> 01:55:19,869
I'll open a school
for boys and girls both.
1713
01:55:20,003 --> 01:55:22,238
What about writing?
1714
01:55:22,373 --> 01:55:24,807
- What about it?
- What are you working on?
1715
01:55:24,941 --> 01:55:28,011
I started something, but
I don't think it's very good.
1716
01:55:28,144 --> 01:55:31,047
- Everyone likes what you write.
- No, they don't.
1717
01:55:31,181 --> 01:55:32,650
I do.
1718
01:55:32,782 --> 01:55:34,884
Well, it's just
about our little life.
1719
01:55:35,018 --> 01:55:36,287
So?
1720
01:55:36,420 --> 01:55:38,721
Well, who will be interested
in a story
1721
01:55:38,855 --> 01:55:40,690
of domestic struggles
and joys?
1722
01:55:40,823 --> 01:55:42,626
It doesn't have
any real importance.
1723
01:55:42,759 --> 01:55:44,194
Maybe it doesn't
seem important
1724
01:55:44,328 --> 01:55:46,062
because people
don't write about them.
1725
01:55:46,196 --> 01:55:50,833
No, writing doesn't confer
importance. It reflects it.
1726
01:55:50,967 --> 01:55:52,735
I don't think so.
1727
01:55:52,869 --> 01:55:55,171
Writing them will
make them more important.
1728
01:55:56,806 --> 01:55:59,709
- When did you become so wise?
- Hm-mm. I always have been.
1729
01:55:59,842 --> 01:56:01,811
You were just too busy
noticing my faults.
1730
01:56:01,945 --> 01:56:03,713
Which were never
there, of course.
1731
01:56:20,297 --> 01:56:21,699
Dear Miss March,
1732
01:56:21,831 --> 01:56:23,667
I read the chapters you sent
1733
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:26,437
and I have to agree,
they aren't very promising.
1734
01:56:26,570 --> 01:56:28,606
But, please,
send more stories
1735
01:56:28,738 --> 01:56:31,207
of the scandalous variety,
if you have any.
1736
01:56:31,342 --> 01:56:34,877
Or, shall I say,
your friend can.
1737
01:56:35,011 --> 01:56:37,314
My apologies for the joke.
1738
01:56:37,448 --> 01:56:38,982
I couldn't help it.
1739
01:56:39,115 --> 01:56:41,452
Jo, come down!
1740
01:56:41,585 --> 01:56:42,720
Coming!
1741
01:56:45,221 --> 01:56:46,557
I'm starving.
1742
01:56:48,359 --> 01:56:50,628
Oh, uh, Jo,
you might wanna wait because...
1743
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:51,894
I'm famished.
1744
01:56:52,028 --> 01:56:53,963
But, Jo, dear,
you have a guest.
1745
01:56:54,097 --> 01:56:55,666
Mm. I don't know anyone.
1746
01:56:55,798 --> 01:56:58,636
I'm sorry to intrude,
but...
1747
01:57:00,571 --> 01:57:01,771
It's you.
1748
01:57:11,448 --> 01:57:12,483
Oh, uh...
1749
01:57:15,386 --> 01:57:17,120
Hello.
1750
01:57:17,254 --> 01:57:19,323
Hello.
I'm Josephine March.
1751
01:57:19,456 --> 01:57:21,124
- I'm Jo.
- Josephine, is that you?
1752
01:57:21,258 --> 01:57:24,861
Welcome! Welcome.
This is Kitty and Minnie.
1753
01:57:24,994 --> 01:57:27,997
And I see that you have
already met our professor.
1754
01:57:28,131 --> 01:57:30,334
And he's
a very accomplished man.
1755
01:57:30,467 --> 01:57:32,503
And your mother says
that you are a writer.
1756
01:57:32,636 --> 01:57:34,170
I keep a diary, you know.
1757
01:57:34,305 --> 01:57:36,307
We have a lot of
interesting people here,
1758
01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:38,742
intellectuals
and Europeans...
1759
01:57:38,875 --> 01:57:42,279
Jo, I hope it is all right. I
got your address from Ms. Kirke.
1760
01:57:42,413 --> 01:57:45,416
- Who's this? Who are you?
- I'm sorry to intrude.
1761
01:57:45,549 --> 01:57:48,485
I was close by,
and I thought I'd...
1762
01:57:48,619 --> 01:57:50,354
- But I'll be going.
- No, no.
1763
01:57:50,487 --> 01:57:52,489
Please stay.
We have more than enough room.
1764
01:57:52,623 --> 01:57:54,325
- Can someone tell me who this is?
- Shh.
1765
01:57:54,458 --> 01:57:55,759
I don't want to be a burden.
1766
01:57:55,892 --> 01:57:57,160
You're not a burden
at all.
1767
01:57:57,294 --> 01:57:59,697
- Yes, of course. Please.
- I'm Laurie. Who are you?
1768
01:57:59,829 --> 01:58:01,164
I'm Friedrich Bhaer.
1769
01:58:01,298 --> 01:58:03,701
We were at the same
boardinghouse in New York.
1770
01:58:03,833 --> 01:58:06,704
Oh, Jo,
he's very handsome.
1771
01:58:16,012 --> 01:58:17,815
Do you intend
to stay in New York?
1772
01:58:17,947 --> 01:58:22,151
No. I've been offered
a professorship in California.
1773
01:58:22,286 --> 01:58:26,189
And, as I have
nothing keeping me here,
1774
01:58:26,323 --> 01:58:28,792
I thought
I might go west.
1775
01:58:28,925 --> 01:58:30,561
It is new there,
and they are
1776
01:58:30,694 --> 01:58:32,962
less particular
about immigrants.
1777
01:58:33,096 --> 01:58:35,164
Perhaps I should go west.
1778
01:58:35,299 --> 01:58:38,669
You're not an immigrant,
so perhaps you should stay home.
1779
01:58:42,306 --> 01:58:43,574
I'm going!
1780
01:58:52,716 --> 01:58:54,951
- Jo!
- Joseph, not Josephine.
1781
01:58:55,084 --> 01:58:56,787
I know Joseph.
Pretty well, actually.
1782
01:58:56,919 --> 01:58:59,523
Oh, wow!
1783
01:58:59,656 --> 01:59:02,359
This is a beautiful
instrument.
1784
01:59:02,493 --> 01:59:03,861
Which one of you plays?
1785
01:59:03,993 --> 01:59:06,296
Oh, it was
my sister Beth.
1786
01:59:06,430 --> 01:59:08,432
We all play a little, but...
1787
01:59:08,565 --> 01:59:10,233
But none
so well as her.
1788
01:59:10,367 --> 01:59:13,437
It is very hard to lose
a sister.
1789
01:59:13,570 --> 01:59:14,738
I'm sorry.
1790
01:59:16,573 --> 01:59:19,376
- Do you play?
- Yes. I do.
1791
01:59:19,510 --> 01:59:22,044
It would make us so happy
if you'd play now.
1792
01:59:22,178 --> 01:59:24,448
She wouldn't want
the piano to sit silent.
1793
01:59:25,849 --> 01:59:27,251
I don't wish to offend.
1794
01:59:27,384 --> 01:59:28,918
Not in the least.
1795
01:59:56,680 --> 01:59:59,883
- It was so lovely to meet you.
- Lovely to meet you. Goodbye.
1796
02:00:00,016 --> 02:00:01,618
It was a real pleasure,
Mr. Bhaer.
1797
02:00:01,752 --> 02:00:04,153
- Bye, Laurie.
- Goodbye.
1798
02:00:05,889 --> 02:00:08,258
- Thank you for everything.
- Lovely to have you.
1799
02:00:08,392 --> 02:00:13,664
If you ever come to California,
I would love to see you.
1800
02:00:15,265 --> 02:00:17,768
I don't know that I will,
but thank you.
1801
02:00:21,872 --> 02:00:24,475
Well, goodbye.
1802
02:00:26,777 --> 02:00:27,678
Goodbye.
1803
02:00:42,593 --> 02:00:44,093
What?
1804
02:00:44,227 --> 02:00:46,028
Why are you all
looking at me like that?
1805
02:00:46,162 --> 02:00:48,398
What a wonderful man.
I hope he comes back.
1806
02:00:48,532 --> 02:00:50,334
He would make
a terrific friend for me.
1807
02:00:50,467 --> 02:00:52,903
- Father, he wasn't here for you!
- No?
1808
02:00:53,035 --> 02:00:56,306
- Jo, you love him.
- What? No, no, I don't.
1809
02:00:56,440 --> 02:00:58,709
Yes, you do! I am half
as smart as you,
1810
02:00:58,842 --> 02:01:01,210
but I can see it
so plainly. You love him.
1811
02:01:01,345 --> 02:01:03,480
- Doesn't she?
- Good instinct. You love him.
1812
02:01:03,614 --> 02:01:06,550
I have never seen you so happy.
What else is love?
1813
02:01:06,683 --> 02:01:08,852
You need to go after him.
Prepare the horses.
1814
02:01:08,986 --> 02:01:10,888
- We can catch him.
- I'm coming too.
1815
02:01:11,020 --> 02:01:12,990
- No, I'm not going.
- Yes, you are.
1816
02:01:13,122 --> 02:01:14,324
- Amy is right.
- Exactly!
1817
02:01:14,458 --> 02:01:16,092
Never thought
I'd prepare a carriage
1818
02:01:16,225 --> 02:01:18,027
to help Jo March chase a man,
but I like it.
1819
02:01:18,160 --> 02:01:20,196
- He's moving to California.
- That was fiction!
1820
02:01:20,330 --> 02:01:22,566
He was practically begging
for a reason to stay.
1821
02:01:22,699 --> 02:01:24,835
- But it's raining outside.
- That doesn't matter.
1822
02:01:24,968 --> 02:01:27,036
- Come with me. I need to fix you.
- Jo!
1823
02:01:27,169 --> 02:01:28,872
Laurie, will you
stop standing there
1824
02:01:29,006 --> 02:01:30,941
and go get the horses ready?
Thank you.
1825
02:01:37,915 --> 02:01:40,017
You never ask about my mother,
1826
02:01:40,149 --> 02:01:42,352
even when you know
I've seen her.
1827
02:01:42,486 --> 02:01:44,521
I assume
she's still alive.
1828
02:01:44,655 --> 02:01:46,290
But I ask
after your mother.
1829
02:01:46,423 --> 02:01:48,425
And I have no idea why.
1830
02:01:48,559 --> 02:01:50,226
You're willfully
missing the point.
1831
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:51,227
That's true.
1832
02:01:52,396 --> 02:01:53,697
What do they want?
1833
02:01:53,830 --> 02:01:55,097
I have no idea.
1834
02:01:55,231 --> 02:01:56,567
Are you publishing this?
1835
02:01:56,700 --> 02:01:58,335
What happens
to the "little women"?
1836
02:01:58,468 --> 02:02:01,038
Tell me you have
the rest of this book.
1837
02:02:01,170 --> 02:02:02,506
What?
1838
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:18,422
I'm just trying
to fix this hair.
1839
02:02:23,092 --> 02:02:24,928
Stop, stop, stop.
Stop the carriage.
1840
02:02:25,062 --> 02:02:26,630
- Stop!
- Stop the carriage!
1841
02:02:26,763 --> 02:02:29,566
Stop. All right, Go. Out. Out.
Go. Go, go, go.
1842
02:02:29,700 --> 02:02:30,867
- Go!
- Jo, your hair!
1843
02:02:31,001 --> 02:02:32,970
Kiss him with love!
1844
02:02:41,612 --> 02:02:45,282
Frankly, I don't see why
she didn't marry the neighbor.
1845
02:02:45,415 --> 02:02:47,618
Well, because the neighbor
marries her sister.
1846
02:02:49,019 --> 02:02:51,655
Right, right.
Of course.
1847
02:02:53,657 --> 02:02:55,325
So who does she marry?
1848
02:02:55,459 --> 02:02:57,828
No one. She doesn't marry
either of them.
1849
02:02:58,929 --> 02:03:01,031
No.
1850
02:03:01,163 --> 02:03:03,533
No! No, no,
that won't work at all.
1851
02:03:03,667 --> 02:03:06,003
She says the whole book
she doesn't want to marry.
1852
02:03:06,135 --> 02:03:07,604
Who cares?
1853
02:03:07,738 --> 02:03:09,973
Girls want to see women married,
not consistent.
1854
02:03:10,107 --> 02:03:11,775
No, it isn't
the right ending.
1855
02:03:11,908 --> 02:03:14,011
The right ending
is the one that sells.
1856
02:03:15,345 --> 02:03:17,014
Trust me. If you decide
1857
02:03:17,146 --> 02:03:18,682
to end your delightful book
1858
02:03:18,815 --> 02:03:20,450
with your heroine a spinster,
1859
02:03:20,584 --> 02:03:22,184
no one will buy it.
1860
02:03:22,319 --> 02:03:25,154
It won't be worth printing.
1861
02:03:25,288 --> 02:03:26,857
I suppose marriage
has always been
1862
02:03:26,990 --> 02:03:29,292
an economic proposition,
even in fiction.
1863
02:03:29,426 --> 02:03:32,161
- It's romance.
- Heh, heh, it's mercenary.
1864
02:03:32,295 --> 02:03:35,899
- Just end it that way, will you?
- Heh, fine.
1865
02:03:36,033 --> 02:03:37,300
- Go!
- Jo, your hair!
1866
02:03:37,434 --> 02:03:39,069
Kiss him with love!
Go!
1867
02:03:41,872 --> 02:03:44,708
- You look so beautiful!
- Go, Jo!
1868
02:04:03,427 --> 02:04:04,327
Jo!
1869
02:04:12,369 --> 02:04:15,072
I... I don't want you to leave.
I want you to stay.
1870
02:04:15,204 --> 02:04:16,506
- You do?
- Yes.
1871
02:04:16,640 --> 02:04:18,642
I would never leave
if you wish me to stay.
1872
02:04:18,775 --> 02:04:21,178
- No, I want you to stay.
- I have nothing to give you.
1873
02:04:21,311 --> 02:04:22,713
It doesn't matter.
1874
02:04:22,846 --> 02:04:24,213
My hands are empty.
1875
02:04:24,347 --> 02:04:25,482
They're not empty.
1876
02:04:33,457 --> 02:04:36,359
I love it. It's romantic.
1877
02:04:36,493 --> 02:04:40,030
It's very moving.
That's very emotional.
1878
02:04:40,163 --> 02:04:42,933
- Well, thank you.
- We could call the chapter...
1879
02:04:44,501 --> 02:04:46,036
"Under the Umbrella."
1880
02:04:46,169 --> 02:04:47,571
- That's good.
- Perfect.
1881
02:04:47,704 --> 02:04:49,673
Now, there's the question
of the contract.
1882
02:04:49,806 --> 02:04:52,241
I'm prepared to give you
5 percent of the royalties.
1883
02:04:52,375 --> 02:04:54,044
So I get 5 percent
of the profit.
1884
02:04:54,177 --> 02:04:57,414
Five percent of the net profits,
after I recoup.
1885
02:04:57,547 --> 02:05:00,249
Huh. Well, what about
a payment up front?
1886
02:05:00,383 --> 02:05:03,086
I'm the one taking the risk
in printing this book.
1887
02:05:03,220 --> 02:05:05,255
Yes, but it's my book.
1888
02:05:05,388 --> 02:05:07,424
And if it does well,
we'll both make money.
1889
02:05:07,557 --> 02:05:09,326
If not,
I can stay in business.
1890
02:05:09,459 --> 02:05:11,094
Oh, so I get nothing
if it fails.
1891
02:05:11,228 --> 02:05:15,132
No, I'll give you $500 right now
to buy out the copyright.
1892
02:05:15,265 --> 02:05:17,467
- The copyright?
- That's the right for reprinting,
1893
02:05:17,601 --> 02:05:20,403
that sort of thing. Sequels,
characters for other stories.
1894
02:05:20,537 --> 02:05:21,905
Might that
be worth something?
1895
02:05:22,038 --> 02:05:24,441
Well, only if it's a success.
1896
02:05:24,574 --> 02:05:27,911
I see. It seems like something
I would want to own, no?
1897
02:05:28,044 --> 02:05:30,847
Didn't you say your family
needed the money immediately?
1898
02:05:30,981 --> 02:05:33,517
Yes, they do, which is why
I wanted up-front payment.
1899
02:05:33,650 --> 02:05:37,754
No. It's too risky. I'll only
pay for the copyright.
1900
02:05:44,728 --> 02:05:47,764
You keep your $500,
and I'll keep the copyright.
1901
02:05:49,399 --> 02:05:51,802
Also, I want 10 percent
of royalties.
1902
02:05:53,670 --> 02:05:57,307
Five point five percent.
That's very generous.
1903
02:05:57,440 --> 02:06:00,443
- Nine percent.
- Six percent, and that's it.
1904
02:06:02,045 --> 02:06:04,247
Mr. Dashwood, if I'm going
to sell my heroine
1905
02:06:04,381 --> 02:06:08,084
into marriage for money,
I might as well get some of it.
1906
02:06:08,218 --> 02:06:09,820
Six point six percent.
1907
02:06:11,488 --> 02:06:13,690
- Done.
- And you don't need to decide
1908
02:06:13,824 --> 02:06:16,326
- about the copyright right now.
- No, I've decided.
1909
02:06:16,459 --> 02:06:18,262
I want to own my own book.
1910
02:06:25,335 --> 02:06:27,604
Where is she?
She's here, everyone!
1911
02:06:33,643 --> 02:06:34,978
Come on!
1912
02:06:43,119 --> 02:06:46,022
Now, see if you can make a B.
1913
02:09:52,142 --> 02:09:57,142
