1
00:01:32,492 --> 00:01:33,660
Excuse me.

2
00:01:33,793 --> 00:01:36,396
I was looking for
the Weekly Volcano office.

3
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:38,131
I wish to see Mr. Dashwood.

4
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:44,704
A friend of mine desired me
to offer a story by her.

5
00:01:44,804 --> 00:01:46,840
She... She wrote it.

6
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:50,710
- She'd be glad to write more if this suits.
- Not a first attempt, I take it.

7
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:53,513
No, sir. She has sold to Olympic
and Scandal,

8
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:56,783
and got a prize for a tale
at the Blarneystone Banner.

9
00:01:56,883 --> 00:01:58,284
A prize?

10
00:01:59,819 --> 00:02:00,820
Yes.

11
00:02:02,922 --> 00:02:03,923
Sit.

12
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:47,267
We'll take this.

13
00:02:49,269 --> 00:02:50,303
Oh, you will?

14
00:02:50,403 --> 00:02:52,439
With alterations. It's too long.

15
00:02:53,606 --> 00:02:55,875
Uh... but you've cut...

16
00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:00,460
I took care to have
a few of my sinners repent.

17
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:02,150
The countryjust went through a war.

18
00:03:02,115 --> 00:03:05,485
People want to be amused,
not preached at.

19
00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:07,554
Morals don't sell nowadays.

20
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,989
Perhaps mention that
to your friend.

21
00:03:13,226 --> 00:03:16,620
What compensation...?
How do you...?

22
00:03:16,162 --> 00:03:18,665
We pay 25 to 30 for things
of this sort.

23
00:03:18,765 --> 00:03:20,300
We'll pay 20 for that.

24
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:26,720
You can have it. Make the edits.

25
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:38,718
Should I tell my friend that you'll take
another if she had one better than this?

26
00:03:38,852 --> 00:03:41,554
We'll look at it.
Tell her to make it short and spicy.

27
00:03:41,621 --> 00:03:46,192
And if the main character's a girl,
make sure she's married by the end.

28
00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:48,361
- Or dead. Either way.
- Excuse me?

29
00:03:48,928 --> 00:03:52,320
What name would she like put to the story?

30
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:56,200
Oh, uh... Yes, none at all, if you please.

31
00:03:56,690 --> 00:03:57,837
Just as she likes, of course.

32
00:03:57,904 --> 00:03:59,572
Oh, well... ha, ha.

33
00:04:00,206 --> 00:04:02,676
Good morning, sir. Good day.

34
00:04:03,843 --> 00:04:05,780
Yes!

35
00:04:42,449 --> 00:04:44,984
My Beth would like you very much.

36
00:04:45,850 --> 00:04:48,755
- I'd like a room for two people.
- Perfect. That's 4.50 a week.

37
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:52,192
- And that's a good price.
- Isn't that a little expensive?

38
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:54,594
This is a boardinghouse, not a charity.

39
00:04:54,661 --> 00:04:56,429
I need the rent on time.

40
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:04,637
Good afternoon, Miss March.

41
00:05:04,771 --> 00:05:06,720
Oh, good afternoon.

42
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:15,315
You're on fire.

43
00:05:15,382 --> 00:05:16,383
Thank you.

44
00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:21,210
You're on fire!

45
00:05:21,121 --> 00:05:22,989
Oh! Oh!

46
00:05:24,691 --> 00:05:27,427
- Thank you.
- I have the same habit. You see?

47
00:05:28,928 --> 00:05:29,929
Oh.

48
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:32,699
Kitty and Minnie are waiting.

49
00:05:32,799 --> 00:05:36,200
- Oh... My students need me.
- Always working.

50
00:05:36,690 --> 00:05:39,639
Money is the end and aim of
my mercenary existence.

51
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:43,710
No one gets ink stains like yours
just out of a desire for money.

52
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:47,580
My sister Amy's in Paris,
and until she marries someone wealthy,

53
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:49,849
it's up to me to keep the family afloat.

54
00:05:49,916 --> 00:05:50,984
Goodbye.

55
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:15,775
The Decadents have ruined Paris,
if you ask me.

56
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:19,546
These French women couldn't lift
a hairbrush.

57
00:06:19,646 --> 00:06:20,747
- Amy!
- Mm.

58
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:24,150
I said, these French women
couldn't lift a hairbrush.

59
00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:26,786
- Oh, yes. Very true, Aunt March.
- Oh...

60
00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:28,755
Don't humor me, girl.

61
00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:33,360
What do they write,
your troublemaking family?

62
00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:35,795
Mother doesn't say anything
about Beth.

63
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:41,267
- I feel I should go back, but they all say, "Stay."
- You can do nothing if you go back.

64
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,269
The girl is sick, not lonely.

65
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:48,274
And you shouldn't go home until you
and Fred Vaughn are properly engaged.

66
00:06:48,341 --> 00:06:51,878
Yes, and until I've completed
all of my painting lessons of course.

67
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:55,548
Ye... Oh, yes, yes.

68
00:06:56,783 --> 00:06:58,180
Of course.

69
00:07:05,392 --> 00:07:07,627
- Stop the carriage! Laurie!
- What are you doing?

70
00:07:07,727 --> 00:07:09,863
- Laurie, Laurie, Laurie!
- Amy!

71
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:11,197
- Laurie!
- Amy!

72
00:07:11,865 --> 00:07:12,799
Amy!

73
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:14,801
How are you?

74
00:07:14,868 --> 00:07:18,405
- You've grown so much.
- You wrote you'd meet me at the hotel.

75
00:07:18,505 --> 00:07:20,674
- I couldn't find you.
- You didn't look hard enough.

76
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:23,276
- I didn't recognize you. You're so beautiful now.
- Stop it.

77
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:25,445
- I thought you liked that.
- Where's your grandfather?

78
00:07:25,478 --> 00:07:28,748
In Germany. He's still traveling.
I'm traveling on my own now. Just relaxing.

79
00:07:28,848 --> 00:07:31,718
- Flirting and gambling and drinking.
- Yes. Don't tell your mother.

80
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:33,787
Are you chasing some young girl
across Europe?

81
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:35,622
No.

82
00:07:38,158 --> 00:07:40,994
I couldn't believe Jo turned you down.
I'm so sorry.

83
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:44,640
Don't be, Amy. I... I'm not.

84
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:47,200
Amy!

85
00:07:47,267 --> 00:07:48,468
Amy March!

86
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:51,705
- Come back here right this instant! Come.
- Aunt March.

87
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:53,390
Come on.

88
00:07:53,106 --> 00:07:55,308
- Aren't you looking grand?
- Get him off me!

89
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:57,430
We need to be somewhere. Off you go!

90
00:07:57,110 --> 00:08:00,246
Come to the New Year's Eve party.
Everyone will be there, including Fred.

91
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:02,949
Pick me up at the hotel at 8,
The Chavain. Oh...

92
00:08:03,490 --> 00:08:05,785
Oh, and, Laurie, dress for festivities!

93
00:08:05,885 --> 00:08:07,420
Top hats and silks!

94
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,556
I will. I'll wear my best silk.

95
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:16,629
It's Laurie.

96
00:08:18,431 --> 00:08:19,866
I know.

97
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:32,545
Twenty yards of the blue silk, as well as pink.
Someone will be by for it later.

98
00:08:32,645 --> 00:08:37,170
Oh, Meg, that'd look lovely on you.
I know just the dressmaker to send you to.

99
00:08:37,117 --> 00:08:39,919
- You'll be the prettiest wife in Concord.
- Oh, I...

100
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:43,223
John needs a new coat for winter,
and Daisy and Demi need new clothes, I...

101
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:46,526
- And his wife needs a new dress.
- I can't. It's...

102
00:08:47,627 --> 00:08:48,628
I just can't.

103
00:08:48,728 --> 00:08:52,165
He'll be so pleased with how you look,
he'll forget all about the expense.

104
00:08:54,670 --> 00:08:56,236
I don't suppose it's too much
an extravagance.

105
00:08:56,302 --> 00:08:58,271
Will 20 yards do?

106
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,306
- Yes.
- Very good.

107
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:07,681
Fifty dollars? What was I thinking?

108
00:09:15,288 --> 00:09:16,990
- Mommy!
- Mommy!

109
00:09:19,292 --> 00:09:20,660
Oh, my loves.

110
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:24,631
Go play.

111
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:55,995
Beth!

112
00:09:57,931 --> 00:09:59,320
Beth?

113
00:09:59,132 --> 00:10:01,167
There lies your way, due west.

114
00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:03,690
Then westward ho!

115
00:10:03,169 --> 00:10:06,606
Grace and good disposition attend,
Your Ladyship.

116
00:10:06,673 --> 00:10:09,976
You'll nothing, madam,
to my lord by me?

117
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,913
Stay, I prithee, tell me
what thou thinkest of me.

118
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:16,950
That you do think you are not what you are.

119
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:21,888
- If I think so, I think the same of you.
- Then think you right, I am not what I am.

120
00:10:48,810 --> 00:10:51,518
Like, a big one.
Like, a big one... Like that.

121
00:10:55,422 --> 00:10:56,489
Excuse me?

122
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:59,959
I only speak English. I'm sorry, what?

123
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:01,461
- What did you say?
- Come dance!

124
00:11:01,561 --> 00:11:02,562
Oh!

125
00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:57,584
I know exactly who I wanna dance with.

126
00:11:59,152 --> 00:12:01,788
- Who will you dance with, Jo?
- I never dance.

127
00:12:01,888 --> 00:12:03,990
Why can't we all go? It's not fair.

128
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:06,860
- Just wear your regular shoes.
- These fit last winter.

129
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,620
My nose will not look refined.

130
00:12:09,162 --> 00:12:11,231
- I like your nose.
- Now, Jo.

131
00:12:11,331 --> 00:12:14,434
Don't touch me, thanks. I already
feel ridiculous. I don't wanna look it.

132
00:12:14,501 --> 00:12:17,103
- You could be pretty if you tried.
- Don't want to. Won't do it.

133
00:12:17,203 --> 00:12:19,572
I don't want to go,
but I wish I could hear the music.

134
00:12:19,673 --> 00:12:23,430
- I'll keep it in my head and sing it for you.
- Ought they to smoke like that?

135
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:24,377
It's the dampness drying.

136
00:12:24,477 --> 00:12:26,346
What a queer smell, like burnt feathers.

137
00:12:26,446 --> 00:12:29,349
Now I'll take this off
and you'll see a perfect ringlet.

138
00:12:32,318 --> 00:12:33,520
Why is her hair off?

139
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,189
- Meg, I'm so sorry.
- What have you done?!

140
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:39,826
Sorry. You shouldn't have
asked me to do it.

141
00:12:39,926 --> 00:12:41,461
Marmee!

142
00:12:41,561 --> 00:12:43,463
I can't go, I'm spoiled!

143
00:12:43,563 --> 00:12:45,198
My hair!

144
00:12:45,331 --> 00:12:49,436
Don't stare, don't put your hands behind your back,
don't say "Christopher Columbus" or "capital."

145
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:52,339
- All right.
- Don't shake hands. Don't whistle.

146
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:55,241
Meg March, you look so pretty.

147
00:12:57,844 --> 00:12:58,845
Meg.

148
00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:16,229
Thank you.

149
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:19,666
No, it's so early. No.

150
00:13:19,766 --> 00:13:20,900
Fine.

151
00:13:36,583 --> 00:13:41,540
- Ooh! Sorry. I didn't know anyone was here.
- Not at all. Stay if you like.

152
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:43,623
- I won't disturb you?
- No. I don't know many people here.

153
00:13:43,723 --> 00:13:46,693
- I felt rather strange at first, you know?
- Mm-hm. So do I.

154
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:51,865
- Miss March, isn't it?
- Yes, Mr. Laurence, but I'm not Miss March.

155
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:54,801
- I'm only Jo.
- And I'm not Mr. Laurence, I'm only Laurie.

156
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:01,374
Don't you dance?

157
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:05,512
I don't know how you do things here yet.
I've spent most of my life in Europe.

158
00:14:05,612 --> 00:14:07,347
Europe! Oh, that's capital!

159
00:14:08,748 --> 00:14:10,517
Shouldn't use words like that.

160
00:14:11,785 --> 00:14:15,755
- Says who?
- Oh, Meg. She's my older sister. Here.

161
00:14:17,991 --> 00:14:18,992
Um...

162
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,561
Oh, that's her. See?

163
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:25,331
- The girl in the violet dress.
- Mm.

164
00:14:25,432 --> 00:14:26,433
It's very pretty.

165
00:14:27,834 --> 00:14:32,305
She reminds me to be good,
so Father will be proud when he returns.

166
00:14:32,405 --> 00:14:33,807
Where is he?

167
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:36,420
He volunteered for the Union Army.

168
00:14:36,142 --> 00:14:40,947
I wanted to go fight with him. I can't get over
my disappointment in being a girl.

169
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:43,516
Jo, would you like to dance with me?

170
00:14:44,117 --> 00:14:45,885
I can't because... Mm.

171
00:14:45,952 --> 00:14:46,953
Because of what?

172
00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:52,192
- You won't tell?
- Never.

173
00:14:53,793 --> 00:14:55,862
I scorched my dress. See? There.

174
00:14:55,962 --> 00:14:58,198
Meg told me to keep still,
so no one would see it.

175
00:14:59,799 --> 00:15:01,935
You can laugh if you want to.
It's funny, I know.

176
00:15:03,203 --> 00:15:05,710
I have an idea of how we can manage.

177
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:06,533
- What?
- My foot.

178
00:16:06,633 --> 00:16:08,340
- I've hurt my ankle.
- Oh!

179
00:16:08,101 --> 00:16:09,235
How am I gonna get home?

180
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:12,505
I don't see what you can do, except get
a carriage or stay here all night.

181
00:16:12,605 --> 00:16:15,475
- Carriages are too expensive.
- Let me take you. It's right next door.

182
00:16:15,542 --> 00:16:17,344
Oh, no, thank you. We cannot accept.

183
00:16:17,444 --> 00:16:19,279
You must take mine, please?

184
00:16:19,346 --> 00:16:22,148
No. It's so early.
You can't mean to leave yet.

185
00:16:22,248 --> 00:16:24,284
I always leave early. I do, truly.

186
00:16:24,351 --> 00:16:25,852
What choice do you have, hm?

187
00:16:27,754 --> 00:16:30,323
- I told you those shoes were too small...
- Goodness gracious.

188
00:16:30,357 --> 00:16:31,358
What have you done?

189
00:16:31,391 --> 00:16:33,360
She's lame and can't walk.
She's hobbling.

190
00:16:33,426 --> 00:16:36,229
Clear that chair.
You're supposed to be asleep.

191
00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:38,264
All right, help your sister,
then back to bed.

192
00:16:38,365 --> 00:16:40,567
Make room. Meg is a wounded soldier.

193
00:16:40,633 --> 00:16:42,235
I sprained my ankle.

194
00:16:42,302 --> 00:16:45,705
Meg, you'll kill yourself
for fashion one of these days.

195
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:49,142
Here. Hannah, we need ice!

196
00:16:49,242 --> 00:16:51,544
- Oh, come in. Come in.
- Is it all right?

197
00:16:51,644 --> 00:16:55,181
Apologies for the chaos.
I enjoy baking in the middle of the night.

198
00:16:55,281 --> 00:16:58,184
- Don't mind the clutter, Mr. Laurence. We don't.
- Laurie, please.

199
00:16:58,852 --> 00:17:01,321
- Can I call you Teddy?
- Yes.

200
00:17:01,388 --> 00:17:04,491
You must be part of their theatricals.
They could use an extra player.

201
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:06,559
- I'm Amy.
- Hello.

202
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:09,620
You'll have to fight Jo
for the male roles or play a girl.

203
00:17:09,162 --> 00:17:10,964
- Have a scone.
- Yes, thank you.

204
00:17:11,310 --> 00:17:12,298
And ice.

205
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:15,769
- Laurie, how are your ankles? Do you need ice?
- No, thank you, ma'am.

206
00:17:15,835 --> 00:17:18,338
Just call me "mother" or Marmee.
Everyone does.

207
00:17:19,572 --> 00:17:23,109
- And you wore those pink shoes too, didn't you?
- It's cold.

208
00:17:24,144 --> 00:17:27,147
- Do you want more ice?
- But they look so good, okay?

209
00:17:27,247 --> 00:17:30,483
It feels like being a fine young lady
to come home from a party in a carriage

210
00:17:30,517 --> 00:17:31,918
and have maids wait on me.

211
00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:44,190
For the writer in the attic.

212
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:47,930
Because you enjoyed
the play so much tonight,

213
00:18:47,193 --> 00:18:48,828
I wanted you to have this.

214
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:55,100
It will help you study character
and paint it with your pen.

215
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,705
I would love to read what you're writing,
if you'll trust me.

216
00:18:59,205 --> 00:19:03,276
I promise honesty and whatever
intelligence I can muster.

217
00:19:03,843 --> 00:19:05,812
Yours, Friedrich.

218
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:30,203
- Fred, would you like a glass?
- I will. Thank you.

219
00:19:37,811 --> 00:19:39,479
Would you excuse me a second?

220
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,721
Laurie.

221
00:19:48,621 --> 00:19:49,823
Amy.

222
00:19:49,923 --> 00:19:51,491
I waited an hour for you.

223
00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:54,294
I feel caught.

224
00:19:56,396 --> 00:19:57,430
Hm...

225
00:19:58,765 --> 00:20:01,000
Amy, please. Amy.

226
00:20:01,670 --> 00:20:03,903
- Do you want to know what I think of you?
- What do you think of me?

227
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,638
- I despise you.
- Why do you despise me?

228
00:20:05,705 --> 00:20:08,174
Because with every chance of being good,
happy and useful,

229
00:20:08,274 --> 00:20:10,744
- you are lazy, faulty and miserable.
- Ooh...

230
00:20:10,844 --> 00:20:13,346
- Interesting.
- Selfish people like to talk about themselves.

231
00:20:13,446 --> 00:20:15,782
- Am I selfish?
- Yes, very selfish.

232
00:20:15,915 --> 00:20:19,619
- With your money, talent, beauty, and health...
- Oh, you think I'm beautiful.

233
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:21,221
Yes, you like that, you old vanity.

234
00:20:21,321 --> 00:20:24,457
With all these good things to enjoy,
you can find nothing to do but dawdle.

235
00:20:25,525 --> 00:20:30,163
- I'll be good for you, Saint Amy. I'll be good.
- Aren't you ashamed of a hand like that?

236
00:20:30,597 --> 00:20:31,598
No, I'm not.

237
00:20:31,598 --> 00:20:35,101
Looks like it's never done a day of work
in its life, and that ring is ridiculous.

238
00:20:35,201 --> 00:20:36,803
Jo gave me this ring.

239
00:20:38,638 --> 00:20:40,774
I feel sorry for you.
I really do.

240
00:20:41,941 --> 00:20:43,510
I just wish you'd bear it better.

241
00:20:43,610 --> 00:20:46,346
You don't have to feel sorry.
You'll feel the same way one day.

242
00:20:46,446 --> 00:20:49,182
No, I'd be respected
if I couldn't be loved.

243
00:20:50,316 --> 00:20:53,787
What have you done lately,
oh, great artiste?

244
00:20:55,121 --> 00:20:58,191
Perhaps you're fantasizing
about spending Fred Vaughn's fortune.

245
00:20:58,291 --> 00:21:00,360
Fred Vaughn, ladies and gentlemen!

246
00:21:08,902 --> 00:21:10,603
Fred, I...

247
00:21:10,670 --> 00:21:11,805
I'm so sorry.

248
00:21:27,587 --> 00:21:29,656
Those are just stories, of course.

249
00:21:33,260 --> 00:21:35,950
But I'm working on a novel.

250
00:21:35,795 --> 00:21:37,697
And your novel...

251
00:21:38,732 --> 00:21:40,100
it will be like this?

252
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,201
Yes.

253
00:21:41,468 --> 00:21:43,303
So far, anyway.

254
00:21:43,403 --> 00:21:45,380
With plots like this?

255
00:21:46,406 --> 00:21:49,442
- Duels and killing and...
- It sells, so...

256
00:21:50,477 --> 00:21:54,180
- Why don't you sign your real name?
- My mother wouldn't like it.

257
00:21:56,116 --> 00:21:58,151
It's too gory for her.

258
00:21:58,251 --> 00:22:00,887
I wanna help with the money I make,
not worry her.

259
00:22:06,860 --> 00:22:07,861
Mm...

260
00:22:11,731 --> 00:22:14,670
You know, I don't like them.

261
00:22:16,403 --> 00:22:17,437
Honestly...

262
00:22:18,571 --> 00:22:21,307
I mean, I think that they're not good.

263
00:22:27,580 --> 00:22:29,820
Uh... But...

264
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:31,351
They're...

265
00:22:33,353 --> 00:22:35,255
They're published in the papers,

266
00:22:35,355 --> 00:22:38,558
and people have always said that
I'm talented.

267
00:22:38,625 --> 00:22:40,860
Oh, I think you're talented.

268
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,763
Which is why I'm being so...
So blunt.

269
00:22:45,999 --> 00:22:49,402
Well, I can't afford to starve
on praise.

270
00:22:49,469 --> 00:22:51,504
Are you upset?

271
00:22:51,604 --> 00:22:53,440
Of course I'm upset. You just...

272
00:22:53,506 --> 00:22:56,843
- You just told me you didn't like my work.
- Jo, I thought you wanted honesty.

273
00:22:56,910 --> 00:22:58,978
I... Yes, I do.

274
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,882
Has no one ever talked to you
like this before?

275
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:05,719
Yes, I've been rejected plenty
of times.

276
00:23:05,852 --> 00:23:10,230
Do you have anyone to take you seriously,
Jo, to talk about your work?

277
00:23:10,123 --> 00:23:13,260
And who made you high priest
of what's good and what's bad?

278
00:23:13,126 --> 00:23:15,862
- No one, and I'm not...
- Then why are you acting like it?

279
00:23:15,962 --> 00:23:18,531
Your reaction indicates that you must
think there is some truth...

280
00:23:18,565 --> 00:23:22,200
My reaction indicates that you are
a pompous blowhard.

281
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,470
Shakespeare wrote for the masses.

282
00:23:23,603 --> 00:23:27,674
Shakespeare was the greatest poet who ever lived
because he smuggled his poetry in popular works.

283
00:23:27,741 --> 00:23:31,344
- I'm no Shakespeare.
- Thank goodness. We already have him.

284
00:23:31,444 --> 00:23:34,647
If you know so much about it,
then why don't you just do it yourself?

285
00:23:34,714 --> 00:23:37,830
Because I'm not a writer.

286
00:23:37,150 --> 00:23:40,530
- I don't have the gifts you have.
- No, you don't.

287
00:23:40,153 --> 00:23:42,789
You will always be a critic,
never an author.

288
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:45,658
The world will forget that
you ever even lived.

289
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:48,228
- Oh, I'm sure they will.
- But...

290
00:23:48,328 --> 00:23:49,462
I... But I...

291
00:23:51,264 --> 00:23:53,660
No one will forget Jo March.

292
00:23:57,470 --> 00:23:59,439
I can believe it.

293
00:23:59,572 --> 00:24:00,640
Listen.

294
00:24:00,707 --> 00:24:03,777
We are not friends.
You are not my friend.

295
00:24:04,811 --> 00:24:08,415
I don't want your opinion
because I don't like you very much.

296
00:24:08,515 --> 00:24:11,117
So just don't talk to me anymore.
Thank you.

297
00:24:30,770 --> 00:24:33,406
Oh, Josephine, this came for you.

298
00:24:33,473 --> 00:24:34,674
Oh, thank you.

299
00:24:43,850 --> 00:24:44,851
Beth.

300
00:25:28,228 --> 00:25:29,963
Merry Christmas, world.

301
00:25:35,602 --> 00:25:37,237
Merry Christmas!

302
00:25:37,303 --> 00:25:39,906
- Merry Christmas.
- Beth, give me another orange.

303
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,475
- Jo, we've been up for hours.
- What have you been writing?

304
00:25:42,609 --> 00:25:45,745
Oh, I got carried away
with our delicious revenge play last night, Poison.

305
00:25:45,845 --> 00:25:47,814
No, no poison. It's Christmas.

306
00:25:47,981 --> 00:25:51,317
- Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents.
- It's so dreadful being poor.

307
00:25:51,451 --> 00:25:54,988
It's not fair. How come some girls have pretty things
and others have nothing at all?

308
00:25:55,121 --> 00:25:59,225
- We have Father, Mother and each other.
- We haven't got Father for as long as this war drags on.

309
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,862
I wish I had heaps of money and plenty
of servants, so I never had to work again.

310
00:26:02,962 --> 00:26:06,332
Or you could be a proper actress on the boards.
They aren't all fallen women.

311
00:26:06,466 --> 00:26:07,901
I can't be an actress.

312
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,970
I have lots of wishes, but my favorite one
is to be an artist in Paris

313
00:26:11,370 --> 00:26:13,740
and to do fine pictures and to be
the best painter in the world.

314
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,309
That's what you want too, isn't it, Jo?
Be a famous writer?

315
00:26:16,409 --> 00:26:19,612
- Yes, but it sounds crass when she says it.
- Why be ashamed of what you want?

316
00:26:19,713 --> 00:26:22,949
My wish is to have us all to be together
with Father and Mother in this house.

317
00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:25,285
- That's what I want.
- Beth is perfect.

318
00:26:25,385 --> 00:26:27,420
- Amy.
- What about your music, Queen Beth, huh?

319
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:31,191
- I do that for us. I don't need anyone else to hear it.
- You must not limit yourself.

320
00:26:31,324 --> 00:26:35,362
Mother proposed not having any presents this year
because our men are suffering in the Army.

321
00:26:35,428 --> 00:26:38,898
We can't do much, but we can make
our little sacrifices and do it gladly.

322
00:26:38,998 --> 00:26:41,701
Don't play mother just
because she's not home.

323
00:26:41,801 --> 00:26:44,471
- Jo, that's so boyish.
- That's why I do it.

324
00:26:44,604 --> 00:26:48,410
- I detest rude, unladylike girls.
- I hate affected little chits.

325
00:26:48,108 --> 00:26:50,677
- Jo!
- My nose! My nose!

326
00:26:50,744 --> 00:26:52,779
It's already no good!

327
00:26:52,879 --> 00:26:54,800
Jo! Jo!

328
00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:58,385
I know you don't care what I think, but you don't
want your mother to find you like this, do you?

329
00:26:58,485 --> 00:27:01,788
- We care what you think, Hannah.
- You're more family than wicked old Aunt March.

330
00:27:01,888 --> 00:27:03,823
- Oh, don't, Jo.
- Where is Marmee? I'm starving.

331
00:27:03,923 --> 00:27:06,826
Goodness only knows.
Some poor creature came a-begging.

332
00:27:06,926 --> 00:27:09,362
Your ma set off to see what was needed.

333
00:27:09,462 --> 00:27:14,670
- I wish she could help others at a time convenient to us.
- Joanna and I are very hungry.

334
00:27:14,167 --> 00:27:15,669
Dolls don't get hungry, Beth.

335
00:27:15,835 --> 00:27:19,720
I've rewritten the climax. We need to
set it to memory. Amy, get the costumes.

336
00:27:19,172 --> 00:27:21,207
I have made the most divine crown,

337
00:27:21,274 --> 00:27:24,110
and I painted my old shoes blue,
so she looks like a princess!

338
00:27:24,244 --> 00:27:27,981
- The melancholy piece I've figured out is pretty good.
- Wait until you see this new speech.

339
00:27:28,114 --> 00:27:31,885
I don't see how you can write such splendid things, Jo.
You're a regular Shakespeare.

340
00:27:31,951 --> 00:27:35,422
Not quite. Miss Michelangelo,
can you please rehearse the fainting scene?

341
00:27:35,522 --> 00:27:37,457
- You're as stiff as a poker.
- I can't help it.

342
00:27:37,557 --> 00:27:41,261
I never saw anyone faint before.
I don't intend to make myself all black and blue.

343
00:27:41,361 --> 00:27:42,962
If I can fall down easily, I'll drop.

344
00:27:43,290 --> 00:27:45,632
And if I cannot,
I shall fall gracefully into a chair.

345
00:27:45,732 --> 00:27:48,435
And I don't care if Hugo comes
at me with a pistol.

346
00:27:48,835 --> 00:27:50,170
- Hannah?
- I'm not acting.

347
00:27:50,270 --> 00:27:53,740
- I didn't even say anything.
- I knew what you were going to say, and I'm not acting.

348
00:28:03,383 --> 00:28:06,986
I need both of you
to kneel right there.

349
00:28:07,870 --> 00:28:09,220
- I need you to kneel.
- I don't want to kneel.

350
00:28:09,122 --> 00:28:12,592
This is supposed to be our special scene,
and no one's gonna be looking at us.

351
00:28:12,692 --> 00:28:14,600
- Smile.
- I don't want to.

352
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,763
You have to. And I think
Meg should be the director.

353
00:28:16,830 --> 00:28:19,199
So I think that
she'll need to kneel...

354
00:28:19,332 --> 00:28:21,501
- But it's our scene.
- If you'll kneel and look...

355
00:28:21,568 --> 00:28:23,300
Merry Christmas, girls.

356
00:28:23,690 --> 00:28:25,205
- Marmee!
- Oh, merry Christmas!

357
00:28:25,271 --> 00:28:28,808
I'm so glad to see you so happy.
How's your play?

358
00:28:28,875 --> 00:28:31,711
Jo, you look tired. Were you up
again all night writing?

359
00:28:31,811 --> 00:28:34,247
- Of course.
- Amy, come kiss me. Thank you.

360
00:28:35,315 --> 00:28:36,750
Merry Christmas.
How are my girls?

361
00:28:36,883 --> 00:28:38,451
- I'm so hungry.
- Look at this.

362
00:28:38,518 --> 00:28:40,954
- I could eat a horse.
- Don't say that, Jo.

363
00:28:42,956 --> 00:28:43,957
What?

364
00:28:45,592 --> 00:28:46,593
What is it?

365
00:28:47,727 --> 00:28:50,597
Not far from here lives
a poor young woman, Mrs. Hummel.

366
00:28:50,730 --> 00:28:55,568
Her five children are in one bed to keep
from freezing, and there's nothing to eat.

367
00:28:55,635 --> 00:28:59,500
Will you give them your breakfast
as a Christmas present?

368
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:06,346
Is this where you say that
Father would want us to?

369
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:08,381
Yes.

370
00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:20,960
Thank you.

371
00:29:21,270 --> 00:29:24,431
And thank you, Mr. Laurence,
for including me.

372
00:29:24,531 --> 00:29:25,598
You're welcome.

373
00:29:30,203 --> 00:29:33,406
Perhaps you could tutor
my grandson in manners,

374
00:29:33,506 --> 00:29:35,508
as well as mathematics, huh?

375
00:29:43,316 --> 00:29:44,417
Oh, girls...

376
00:29:46,986 --> 00:29:47,987
Be careful.

377
00:29:51,424 --> 00:29:53,460
Watch yourselves.

378
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,395
Out here with no sleeves.

379
00:30:10,643 --> 00:30:12,846
It is good angels come to us.

380
00:30:15,281 --> 00:30:16,583
Hello.

381
00:30:16,683 --> 00:30:19,919
I'm back. And have food
and blankets.

382
00:30:19,986 --> 00:30:21,388
And sweaters.

383
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:23,189
And we brought some medicine.

384
00:30:23,323 --> 00:30:25,250
So these are my girls.

385
00:30:25,125 --> 00:30:26,226
Say hello.

386
00:30:26,326 --> 00:30:27,394
He is not well.

387
00:30:28,461 --> 00:30:30,430
Girls, why don't you
unpack the food?

388
00:30:30,930 --> 00:30:32,132
Would you like some?

389
00:30:36,236 --> 00:30:37,270
You want one?

390
00:30:38,204 --> 00:30:39,339
Yeah, have it all.

391
00:30:39,439 --> 00:30:42,800
- Why don't we put some firewood?
- It's good, isn't it?

392
00:30:45,412 --> 00:30:46,546
That's nice, huh?

393
00:30:52,452 --> 00:30:55,722
- Marmee, we don't need our toes.
- I think I've lost one.

394
00:30:55,789 --> 00:30:57,624
Has anyone else lost their toe?

395
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:02,829
- That was amazing.
- I can't even feel my feet anymore.

396
00:31:04,631 --> 00:31:06,599
Is it fairies?

397
00:31:06,666 --> 00:31:07,801
Santa Claus.

398
00:31:07,867 --> 00:31:10,403
- No, it's old Aunt March.
- Mr. Laurence sent it.

399
00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:12,872
- The Laurence boy's grandfather?
- Yes.

400
00:31:12,972 --> 00:31:13,873
Why?

401
00:31:13,873 --> 00:31:17,577
He saw you giving your Christmas breakfast
away and he wanted you to enjoy the day.

402
00:31:17,677 --> 00:31:20,580
- But I thought he was a mean old man.
- It's so generous of him.

403
00:31:20,580 --> 00:31:23,750
His grandson, Laurie, put the idea
into his head. I know he did.

404
00:31:23,883 --> 00:31:25,752
We should make friends with him.

405
00:31:25,885 --> 00:31:29,220
Boys scare me, and that big old
house scares me.

406
00:31:29,155 --> 00:31:33,226
Jenny Snow says that Mr. Laurence disowned his son
after he went off with an Italian woman.

407
00:31:33,326 --> 00:31:35,128
Now his grandson is an orphan

408
00:31:35,195 --> 00:31:38,310
and spends all of his time in that house,
locked up with his tutor.

409
00:31:38,131 --> 00:31:42,200
He's a very kind man who lost his little girl
when she was only a child.

410
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,903
- Now his son as well.
- His daughter died?

411
00:31:44,370 --> 00:31:47,674
- That's so sad.
- But doesn't Laurie just seem so romantic? He's half Italian.

412
00:31:47,741 --> 00:31:49,743
What do you know?
You've barely spoken to him. Ow!

413
00:31:49,743 --> 00:31:52,946
I'm not responsible for this feast,
but I have got a surprise.

414
00:31:53,947 --> 00:31:55,715
- Is he coming home?
- A letter from Father!

415
00:31:56,316 --> 00:31:57,917
Don't I wish I could go?

416
00:31:58,510 --> 00:32:00,253
Jo, we can't give up
our only brother.

417
00:32:00,353 --> 00:32:02,355
It must be so disagreeable
to sleep in a tent.

418
00:32:02,422 --> 00:32:05,225
- Jo sits in the back, so we can't see her cry.
- So, what if I do?

419
00:32:05,325 --> 00:32:08,862
- Will he be coming home?
- He'll stay and work faithfully as long as he can.

420
00:32:08,962 --> 00:32:12,432
And we won't ask for him to come back
a minute sooner than he can be spared.

421
00:32:14,167 --> 00:32:16,503
"Give them all my dear love and a kiss.

422
00:32:16,636 --> 00:32:20,540
Tell them I think of them by day,
pray for them by night

423
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,710
and find my best comforts
in their affection at all times.

424
00:32:23,810 --> 00:32:27,247
A year seems a very long time
to wait before I see them.

425
00:32:27,647 --> 00:32:32,585
But remind them that while we wait,
we may all work, so these hard days...

426
00:32:32,686 --> 00:32:34,554
need not be wasted.

427
00:32:35,288 --> 00:32:38,124
I know that they will be
loving children to you.

428
00:32:39,426 --> 00:32:41,194
Do their duty faithfully.

429
00:32:42,395 --> 00:32:44,197
Fight their enemies bravely.

430
00:32:46,660 --> 00:32:48,702
And conquer themselves
so beautifully."

431
00:32:48,835 --> 00:32:51,738
The Witch's Curse,
a play by Jo March.

432
00:32:51,838 --> 00:32:56,420
Make it sweet and swift
and strong...

433
00:32:56,109 --> 00:33:00,460
- "That when I come back to them..."
- Spirit, answer now my song.

434
00:33:00,113 --> 00:33:01,114
"...I may be...

435
00:33:02,649 --> 00:33:05,318
fonder and prouder than ever...

436
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,555
of my little women."

437
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:11,424
B rava!

438
00:33:15,610 --> 00:33:17,630
Excuse me. Excuse me.

439
00:33:18,365 --> 00:33:20,433
Excuse me. Your stop, ma'am.

440
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:22,602
Oh, thank you.

441
00:33:22,669 --> 00:33:24,637
She's gone? Why?

442
00:33:24,704 --> 00:33:27,400
I don't know. She just left.

443
00:33:27,107 --> 00:33:30,877
- But she didn't say if she was coming back?
- We didn't have a heart-to-heart, professor.

444
00:33:30,944 --> 00:33:34,581
Why are you just sitting there?
Please, go, go. Dust something.

445
00:33:34,714 --> 00:33:37,684
And what about the girls?
She was the best teacher they ever had.

446
00:33:37,751 --> 00:33:38,752
I know.

447
00:33:50,563 --> 00:33:53,800
It is so hard to go back
to work after such good times.

448
00:33:53,867 --> 00:33:57,103
- I wish it was Christmas every day.
- Or New Year's. Wouldn't that be exciting?

449
00:33:57,237 --> 00:33:59,339
We are a bunch of ungrateful minxes.

450
00:33:59,439 --> 00:34:02,942
- Jo! Don't say such despicable things.
- I like good, strong words that mean something.

451
00:34:03,109 --> 00:34:05,879
- I have to go back to school, and I don't have any limes.
- Limes?

452
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,116
All the girls are trading pickled limes,
and I'm in debt. I owe ever so many limes.

453
00:34:10,183 --> 00:34:11,851
- Will this do?
- What'd you do that for?

454
00:34:11,918 --> 00:34:13,119
Meg, thank you.

455
00:34:13,186 --> 00:34:16,723
I know what it is to want little things
and feel less than other girls.

456
00:34:16,790 --> 00:34:19,920
- That and the drawings will wipe out my debt.
- Drawings?

457
00:34:19,192 --> 00:34:22,462
Nothing. I'm just glad Mother doesn't
make me go to school with those girls.

458
00:34:22,595 --> 00:34:23,730
Hurry. I'll be late.

459
00:34:23,863 --> 00:34:27,600
Beth, after your shopping, I need you to work
your way through the new sums and spelling.

460
00:34:27,667 --> 00:34:29,869
- I'll check it all when I get home, all right?
- Fine.

461
00:34:29,969 --> 00:34:30,970
Bye.

462
00:34:49,689 --> 00:34:50,690
Ooh!

463
00:34:52,158 --> 00:34:53,893
- Josephine.
- Yes?

464
00:34:54,461 --> 00:34:57,430
- Oh... Josephine.
- Yes? Here.

465
00:34:58,531 --> 00:35:01,301
Is there a reason
you stopped reading Belsham?

466
00:35:01,401 --> 00:35:02,469
I'm sorry.

467
00:35:02,569 --> 00:35:03,636
I'll continue.

468
00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:06,806
You mind yourself, deary.

469
00:35:06,873 --> 00:35:10,677
Someday you'll need me
and you'll wish you had behaved better.

470
00:35:10,744 --> 00:35:13,646
Thank you, Aunt March, for your employment
and your many kindnesses,

471
00:35:13,713 --> 00:35:16,116
but I intend to make my way in the world.

472
00:35:16,182 --> 00:35:17,717
Oh, well.

473
00:35:17,784 --> 00:35:20,353
No. No one makes their own way.

474
00:35:20,420 --> 00:35:21,921
Not really.

475
00:35:21,988 --> 00:35:25,191
Least of all, a woman.
You'll need to marry well.

476
00:35:25,291 --> 00:35:28,610
- But you are not married.
- That's because I'm rich.

477
00:35:28,161 --> 00:35:30,397
And I made sure
to keep hold of my money.

478
00:35:30,797 --> 00:35:32,899
Unlike your father.

479
00:35:32,999 --> 00:35:35,969
So the only way to be
an unmarried woman is to be rich?

480
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:36,970
Yes.

481
00:35:36,970 --> 00:35:40,573
- There are precious few ways for women to make money.
- That's not true.

482
00:35:40,707 --> 00:35:42,475
You could run a cathouse.

483
00:35:42,542 --> 00:35:44,711
Or go on the stage.

484
00:35:44,811 --> 00:35:46,913
Practically the same thing.

485
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:49,820
Other than that, you're right.

486
00:35:49,149 --> 00:35:51,284
Precious few ways for women.

487
00:35:51,351 --> 00:35:54,587
- That's why you should heed me.
- So I can get married.

488
00:35:54,688 --> 00:35:59,250
No. So you can live a better life
than your poor mother has.

489
00:35:59,125 --> 00:36:02,662
- But Marmee loves her life.
- You don't know what she loves.

490
00:36:04,330 --> 00:36:09,202
Your father cared more about educating freedmen's children
than he did about caring for his own family.

491
00:36:09,269 --> 00:36:10,770
Yes, but he was right.

492
00:36:10,837 --> 00:36:14,140
Well, it's possible
to be right and foolish.

493
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:15,575
Well, I don't think so.

494
00:36:15,675 --> 00:36:17,544
Well, you're not paid to think.

495
00:36:23,183 --> 00:36:25,985
I know you don't care much
about marriage now.

496
00:36:28,421 --> 00:36:29,856
Can't say I blame you.

497
00:36:32,125 --> 00:36:38,231
But I intend to go to Europe one more time
and I need a companion,

498
00:36:38,365 --> 00:36:40,567
so how would you like
to be the person I take?

499
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:44,270
- I'd like that more than anything.
- All right, then read.

500
00:36:44,971 --> 00:36:46,873
And don't sneak around.

501
00:36:47,674 --> 00:36:49,409
I don't like sneaks.

502
00:36:52,345 --> 00:36:53,346
President Lincoln.

503
00:36:53,346 --> 00:36:54,914
No, Father's fighting for him.

504
00:36:54,981 --> 00:36:58,618
My father says the war is a waste
and we should just let them keep their labor.

505
00:36:58,718 --> 00:37:00,186
Susan, it is immoral.

506
00:37:00,286 --> 00:37:03,323
Everyone benefited from the system,
including you Marches.

507
00:37:03,390 --> 00:37:06,426
- Why should only the South be punished?
- Maybe we should all be punished.

508
00:37:06,526 --> 00:37:10,196
- The Marches love a cause.
- Fine. Just do Mr. Davis.

509
00:37:12,532 --> 00:37:16,903
- I don't know if I should.
- I'll wipe out your debt and give you five limes.

510
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:19,706
...your spelling and, moreover, your reading habit.

511
00:37:34,354 --> 00:37:35,522
Miss March.

512
00:37:38,625 --> 00:37:39,626
Sit down.

513
00:37:41,127 --> 00:37:42,996
Sit down, Laurie.

514
00:37:43,463 --> 00:37:45,198
Latin is a privilege.

515
00:37:45,265 --> 00:37:47,670
Please, you have to learn this.

516
00:37:47,167 --> 00:37:49,903
I can't afford to lose this position.
Just return to the Cicero...

517
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:52,138
- There's a girl out there.
- No, there is not.

518
00:37:52,238 --> 00:37:55,241
- Yes, Mr. Brooke, there is a girl.
- No, there's not.

519
00:38:01,147 --> 00:38:03,416
I'll never get to go home again.

520
00:38:03,516 --> 00:38:05,485
- There is a girl.
- That's a girl.

521
00:38:07,220 --> 00:38:09,550
Hello there. Are you hurt?

522
00:38:09,189 --> 00:38:11,925
- I'm Amy.
- Hello, Amy. I'm Laurie.

523
00:38:11,991 --> 00:38:14,561
I know. You brought my sister back
after the dance.

524
00:38:14,627 --> 00:38:16,696
I would've never have
sprained my ankle.

525
00:38:16,796 --> 00:38:19,699
I have lovely small feet,
the best in the family.

526
00:38:19,799 --> 00:38:24,270
But I can never go home again
because I'm in such trouble.

527
00:38:24,637 --> 00:38:26,720
Look.

528
00:38:26,639 --> 00:38:28,541
Mr. Davis hit me.

529
00:38:31,711 --> 00:38:35,810
Tell the servants I want this
painting purchased for me.

530
00:38:35,148 --> 00:38:37,717
- Amy! Are you in here?
- Meg! My hand. Look.

531
00:38:37,784 --> 00:38:39,285
- Jo.
- What richness.

532
00:38:39,352 --> 00:38:40,720
It hurts so much.

533
00:38:40,787 --> 00:38:42,989
You ought to be the happiest boy
in the world.

534
00:38:43,890 --> 00:38:44,991
- A fellow can't live on books alone.
- I could.

535
00:38:45,910 --> 00:38:48,795
- What did you do?
- I did a drawing, and then Mr. Davis hit me.

536
00:38:48,862 --> 00:38:51,631
- Oh, Christopher Columbus, look at that.
- That's my grandfather.

537
00:38:51,731 --> 00:38:54,100
- Are you scared of him?
- No, I'm not scared of anyone.

538
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,903
He looks stern, but my grandfather
was much more handsome.

539
00:38:57,370 --> 00:38:58,805
Jo, we do not compare grandfathers.

540
00:38:58,872 --> 00:39:00,907
- You think he's more handsome, eh?
- Oh...

541
00:39:01,908 --> 00:39:06,112
- No, actually, you are very handsome. I didn't mean...
- I knew your mother's father.

542
00:39:06,513 --> 00:39:08,114
You've got his spirit.

543
00:39:08,748 --> 00:39:10,984
Oh, well, thank you, sir.

544
00:39:13,687 --> 00:39:17,257
- You are not to attend that school anymore.
- Good. That man has always been an idiot.

545
00:39:17,357 --> 00:39:19,926
- Jo will teach you.
- Me? I already teach Beth.

546
00:39:19,993 --> 00:39:20,994
You're a good teacher.

547
00:39:21,610 --> 00:39:24,300
Yes, women being taught at home
is much more proper, I believe.

548
00:39:24,164 --> 00:39:27,801
- Only because the schools for women are so poor.
- Indeed. Quite right.

549
00:39:27,867 --> 00:39:30,637
I wish all the girls would leave his school
and that he would die.

550
00:39:30,770 --> 00:39:35,410
- Amy, you did wrong and there'll be consequences.
- I didn't even do anything. I just did a drawing.

551
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:38,712
- Thank you so much for taking care of Amy.
- Oh, yes, of course.

552
00:39:38,812 --> 00:39:41,481
My girls have a way of getting
into mischief.

553
00:39:41,548 --> 00:39:42,749
Well, so do I.

554
00:39:42,849 --> 00:39:45,185
Then you'll run over
and we'll take care of you.

555
00:39:45,285 --> 00:39:47,654
Come over whenever you'd like.
Invite Beth as well.

556
00:39:47,787 --> 00:39:51,240
- Yes! Beth would adore the piano.
- Is she the quiet one?

557
00:39:51,124 --> 00:39:52,425
Yes, that's our Beth.

558
00:39:52,525 --> 00:39:55,950
- Tell that little girl to use our piano.
- Thank you.

559
00:39:55,195 --> 00:39:56,930
Jo, borrow whatever book you'd like.

560
00:39:56,996 --> 00:39:58,832
- Can I come look at the paintings?
- Yes.

561
00:39:58,932 --> 00:40:00,633
There's also a lovely greenhouse.

562
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:03,269
We must go. Girls.

563
00:40:03,436 --> 00:40:07,807
- Mr. Laurence, can you please buy this painting?
- I'm going to take this. If that's okay.

564
00:40:07,874 --> 00:40:10,377
- I'll bring it back soon. I promise you.
- Thank you again.

565
00:40:10,410 --> 00:40:11,711
Thank you for my hand!

566
00:40:11,811 --> 00:40:13,313
- Thank you!
- Goodbye.

567
00:40:16,950 --> 00:40:18,451
Oh, Miss Meg?

568
00:40:18,885 --> 00:40:20,520
You forgot your glove.

569
00:40:28,395 --> 00:40:31,431
Well, back to work.

570
00:40:31,531 --> 00:40:32,699
Back to work.

571
00:40:48,715 --> 00:40:49,783
Order!

572
00:40:49,883 --> 00:40:53,119
Order. Order. Order!

573
00:40:53,219 --> 00:40:58,324
A new play written by Miss Jo March
will appear at the Barnville Theater

574
00:40:58,391 --> 00:41:01,461
in the course of the next few weeks
that will surpass

575
00:41:01,561 --> 00:41:05,432
anything ever seen before
on the American stage.

576
00:41:05,532 --> 00:41:10,236
Starring the greatest actress from here
to the Mississippi River, Miss Meg March.

577
00:41:10,303 --> 00:41:13,306
Yes. There we go. Very good.
Excellent. Bravo.

578
00:41:13,406 --> 00:41:16,876
- Weekly report. Meg good, Jo bad.
- Mm-hm.

579
00:41:16,943 --> 00:41:20,347
Beth very good.
And Amy sort of middling.

580
00:41:20,447 --> 00:41:22,549
- Very well done, sirs.
- Excellent.

581
00:41:22,649 --> 00:41:24,718
- Excellent, excellent.
- Bravo.

582
00:41:24,784 --> 00:41:26,619
Mr. President and gentlemen,

583
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:29,689
I wish to propose the admission
of a new member.

584
00:41:29,756 --> 00:41:33,126
One who would be deeply,
deeply grateful

585
00:41:33,193 --> 00:41:38,131
and would add immensely
to the spirit of the club.

586
00:41:38,231 --> 00:41:39,632
I propose...

587
00:41:41,101 --> 00:41:44,400
Mr. Theodore Laurence!

588
00:41:45,380 --> 00:41:46,473
- Absolutely not.
- No.

589
00:41:46,539 --> 00:41:49,609
- What? Come, now. Let's have him.
- He's a real boy.

590
00:41:49,676 --> 00:41:52,645
- We don't want any boys. This is a club for ladies.
- Yes.

591
00:41:52,712 --> 00:41:54,800
- I think we should do it.
- Why?

592
00:41:54,147 --> 00:41:56,820
- Even if we are afraid, I say yes.
- Why?

593
00:41:56,149 --> 00:41:57,584
- It's Laurie.
- What? No.

594
00:41:57,717 --> 00:41:58,852
It'll change everything.

595
00:41:58,952 --> 00:42:01,254
I call a vote. Put your hands up.
"Aye, aye, aye."

596
00:42:01,354 --> 00:42:04,900
- Don't put her hand up.
- Put your hand up. It's Laurie.

597
00:42:04,157 --> 00:42:05,392
Fine. Aye.

598
00:42:05,525 --> 00:42:07,360
And as there is no time
like the present...

599
00:42:08,795 --> 00:42:11,970
Ladies, ladies,
please, please.

600
00:42:11,197 --> 00:42:16,336
This is my stratagem. I deserve the blame.
Jo only gave in to it after lots of teasing.

601
00:42:16,436 --> 00:42:17,804
- Yes.
- Yes, yes.

602
00:42:17,871 --> 00:42:22,308
I merely wish to say as a slight token
of my gratitude that I...

603
00:42:24,110 --> 00:42:25,145
- Yes, yes.
- Go on.

604
00:42:25,245 --> 00:42:29,849
As a means of promoting friendly relations
between adjoining nations.

605
00:42:29,949 --> 00:42:32,919
- And thus, I propose this set of keys
- Ooh!

606
00:42:32,986 --> 00:42:37,691
for a little post office I've made
in the forest by the pond.

607
00:42:37,791 --> 00:42:40,627
- Yes, four keys. They're for you, darling.
- Ooh!

608
00:42:40,727 --> 00:42:44,698
- Meg, yes, yes. And for you.
- Oh, thank you very much.

609
00:42:44,798 --> 00:42:47,600
This is for me. And without further ado,
thank you for your favor.

610
00:42:47,667 --> 00:42:49,703
I will take my seat
as part of the club.

611
00:42:51,871 --> 00:42:56,743
- Yes, well. Of course. Yes, yes.
- Bravo, bravo.

612
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,713
Welcome, Laurie.

613
00:43:12,692 --> 00:43:15,595
- Three, four, five.
- You both got five.

614
00:43:15,662 --> 00:43:17,964
- I asked the doctor.
- That's a draw, I think.

615
00:43:18,310 --> 00:43:20,800
- It doesn't make sense.
- I know. I can't believe it.

616
00:43:20,867 --> 00:43:22,235
Hello.

617
00:43:22,302 --> 00:43:23,336
Jo!

618
00:43:28,742 --> 00:43:31,111
Daisy and Demi! Can I have a hug?

619
00:43:31,211 --> 00:43:32,946
Oh, you've gotten so big.

620
00:43:34,514 --> 00:43:37,517
- I wish you were here to teach them.
- I know. Well, I'm here now.

621
00:43:37,584 --> 00:43:39,786
- So good to have you home.
- Take this off.

622
00:43:39,886 --> 00:43:43,656
I think the loneliness got to Beth,
though she ain't said anything.

623
00:43:43,757 --> 00:43:47,127
- Where is Beth?
- She's upstairs. Oh, my Jo.

624
00:43:48,395 --> 00:43:51,631
We all thought she was better,
but the fever'd weakened her heart.

625
00:43:52,832 --> 00:43:55,635
Take this and find her
the best doctor you can.

626
00:43:55,702 --> 00:43:58,571
- You need this money to live in New York.
- No, I'm not going back.

627
00:43:58,638 --> 00:44:01,241
I'm using the rest to take her
to the sea and get her strong.

628
00:44:04,678 --> 00:44:06,179
When's Amy coming home?

629
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,116
- We didn't want to worry her.
- Does she not know?

630
00:44:12,686 --> 00:44:16,923
Beth insisted we not tell her
because she didn't want to ruin Amy's trip.

631
00:44:21,361 --> 00:44:24,431
Amy has always had a talent
for getting out of the hard parts of life.

632
00:44:24,531 --> 00:44:26,666
Jo, don't be angry with your sister.

633
00:44:35,275 --> 00:44:37,410
I can't seem to find anything.

634
00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:40,947
- Marmee, have you seen my glove?
- When did you last see it?

635
00:44:42,949 --> 00:44:45,885
Jo! Jo, where are you?

636
00:44:45,952 --> 00:44:47,954
- I can't find my other glove.
- Take mine.

637
00:44:48,210 --> 00:44:50,256
- Jo, we're going to be late.
- Where are you going?

638
00:44:50,357 --> 00:44:51,825
You're not invited.

639
00:44:51,925 --> 00:44:56,290
- You're going somewhere with Laurie. I know it.
- Yes, we are. Now, stop bothering.

640
00:44:56,129 --> 00:44:57,764
- You have the tickets?
- Yes. Hurry up.

641
00:44:57,797 --> 00:45:01,101
You're going to the theater with Laurie.
Meg, can I come? Please, can I come?

642
00:45:01,267 --> 00:45:05,171
- I'm sorry, but you weren't invited.
- You can't go, so don't be a baby and whine about it.

643
00:45:05,238 --> 00:45:07,640
I've been shut up here,
and I never get to go anywhere.

644
00:45:07,707 --> 00:45:11,277
- Beth has her piano, and I'm lonely.
- I can teach you chords.

645
00:45:11,344 --> 00:45:13,646
I don't want chords.
I want to go to the theater.

646
00:45:13,713 --> 00:45:16,549
No. I think you'd hate to poke yourself
in where you're not wanted.

647
00:45:16,649 --> 00:45:19,919
- We already have to deal with dull Mr. Brooke.
- I like him. He's kind.

648
00:45:19,986 --> 00:45:22,622
- But I can pay for myself.
- You will not come.

649
00:45:22,756 --> 00:45:24,557
I'm sorry, my sweet, but Jo is right.

650
00:45:24,624 --> 00:45:26,590
- No! Please.
- Next time.

651
00:45:26,159 --> 00:45:29,262
- Come, Meg. Stop petting her.
- Please, please, please!

652
00:45:29,362 --> 00:45:31,831
- You'll be sorry for this, Jo March!
- Amy!

653
00:45:31,931 --> 00:45:34,300
You will! You'll regret this!

654
00:45:37,170 --> 00:45:39,272
Stop looking at me like that!

655
00:46:27,387 --> 00:46:28,455
Oh, uh...

656
00:46:33,159 --> 00:46:35,395
- I loved every second of it.
- Ow. Jo!

657
00:46:35,462 --> 00:46:39,632
- I thought the actress was...
- Very, very good.

658
00:46:39,733 --> 00:46:42,936
- Yes, she was really good.
- She was. She was very good.

659
00:46:59,152 --> 00:47:00,653
Bye!

660
00:47:00,754 --> 00:47:02,822
Oh, I love the theater.

661
00:47:02,922 --> 00:47:07,227
Meg, you're a million times better than she was.
Although she was a terrific fainter.

662
00:47:07,327 --> 00:47:09,496
I wonder how she managed
to turn so white as she did.

663
00:47:09,629 --> 00:47:11,998
That Mr. Brooke, could he be
any more obsequious?

664
00:47:12,132 --> 00:47:15,835
- I thought he was very well-mannered.
- Hold on. Let me just get this idea down.

665
00:47:22,475 --> 00:47:24,744
- Beth, what's your favorite eye color?
- Purple.

666
00:47:24,911 --> 00:47:28,915
Mr. Brooke has blue eyes and an old soul,
which is much more important than money.

667
00:47:28,982 --> 00:47:30,517
Has anyone taken my novel?

668
00:47:31,351 --> 00:47:32,952
- No.
- No. Why?

669
00:47:43,930 --> 00:47:45,598
Amy, you've got it.

670
00:47:45,665 --> 00:47:47,400
- No, I haven't.
- That's a lie.

671
00:47:47,467 --> 00:47:50,360
I haven't got it, I don't know
where it is, and I don't care.

672
00:47:50,103 --> 00:47:51,771
Tell me, or I'll make you!

673
00:47:51,838 --> 00:47:53,940
- I burnt it up!
- Marmee!

674
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,244
I burnt your book. I told you
I'd make you pay, and I did!

675
00:47:58,311 --> 00:48:00,880
All right, Jo! Jo! Jo!
Please get off her!

676
00:48:00,980 --> 00:48:02,582
Jo. Amy.

677
00:48:02,682 --> 00:48:04,584
- Get her off!
- I hate you!

678
00:48:11,624 --> 00:48:13,260
I'm sorry, Jo.

679
00:48:14,527 --> 00:48:15,528
Amy.

680
00:48:21,901 --> 00:48:24,637
It's just that the only thing
you care about is your writing.

681
00:48:24,704 --> 00:48:28,108
And it's not as if I could've hurt you
by ruining one of your dresses,

682
00:48:28,208 --> 00:48:30,110
and I really did want
to hurt you.

683
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,981
I am the most sorry for it now.
I'm so sorry.

684
00:48:36,483 --> 00:48:37,484
Jo...

685
00:48:38,118 --> 00:48:40,620
don't let the sun go down
on your anger.

686
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:42,422
Forgive her.

687
00:48:42,522 --> 00:48:43,823
Help each other.

688
00:48:44,991 --> 00:48:46,760
And you begin again tomorrow.

689
00:48:48,828 --> 00:48:51,970
She doesn't deserve my forgiveness.

690
00:48:51,631 --> 00:48:55,168
And I will hate her.
I will hate her forever!

691
00:49:26,199 --> 00:49:28,401
Good morning.
Brisk and brilliant outside today.

692
00:49:28,468 --> 00:49:30,303
- Last day at the river. Get your skates.
- Let's go!

693
00:49:30,303 --> 00:49:33,139
Jo, you promised me
I could come last time. Jo!

694
00:49:36,420 --> 00:49:37,944
Is she going
to be like this forever?

695
00:49:39,450 --> 00:49:41,114
It was a very hard loss for her.

696
00:49:41,181 --> 00:49:43,350
Is there nothing I can do?

697
00:49:45,585 --> 00:49:49,989
Go after her. Don't say anything
till Jo has got good-natured with Laurie,

698
00:49:50,900 --> 00:49:52,580
and then just say some kind thing.

699
00:49:52,158 --> 00:49:53,727
I'm sure she'll be friends again.

700
00:49:54,661 --> 00:49:56,730
Jo, wait!

701
00:49:56,796 --> 00:49:58,631
I'm coming!

702
00:49:58,732 --> 00:50:00,934
You said I could come last time!

703
00:50:03,703 --> 00:50:05,872
Jo, Laurie, wait! I'm coming!

704
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:07,907
Wait!

705
00:50:09,309 --> 00:50:10,643
Jo!

706
00:50:10,710 --> 00:50:12,979
Stay near the edge.
It's not safe in the middle.

707
00:50:13,790 --> 00:50:14,881
- Got it.
- Jo!

708
00:50:19,352 --> 00:50:20,920
Jo, I'm coming!

709
00:50:23,323 --> 00:50:24,724
Woo-hoo-hoo!

710
00:50:26,326 --> 00:50:27,460
Jo!

711
00:50:29,562 --> 00:50:30,797
Jo, let's go!

712
00:50:36,102 --> 00:50:37,437
Jo, wait!

713
00:50:45,780 --> 00:50:46,790
Jo!

714
00:50:56,222 --> 00:50:57,724
- Are you all right?
- Yes.

715
00:50:57,791 --> 00:51:01,261
- Help! Help me!
- Amy. It's Amy.

716
00:51:01,361 --> 00:51:02,929
Come on. Come on, Jo.

717
00:51:02,996 --> 00:51:03,997
Jo!

718
00:51:04,998 --> 00:51:05,999
Jo!

719
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,469
Jo, get a branch. Get a branch.

720
00:51:10,300 --> 00:51:11,471
- Amy.
- Jo!

721
00:51:11,571 --> 00:51:13,440
Amy. Amy.

722
00:51:13,506 --> 00:51:14,507
Help!

723
00:51:14,607 --> 00:51:16,109
I can't breathe!

724
00:51:16,209 --> 00:51:20,313
Jo, help me pull.
Amy, grab the branch. Grab it, Amy.

725
00:51:30,390 --> 00:51:33,426
I'm so sorry.
Oh, my sister, my sister.

726
00:51:38,565 --> 00:51:39,899
She's asleep.

727
00:51:43,169 --> 00:51:45,138
If she had died,
it would have been my fault.

728
00:51:46,639 --> 00:51:48,108
She'll be fine.

729
00:51:49,242 --> 00:51:52,746
The doctor said that he didn't
even think she'd catch cold.

730
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:55,882
What is wrong with me?

731
00:51:56,950 --> 00:51:58,752
I've made so many resolutions,

732
00:51:58,852 --> 00:52:02,589
and I've written sad notes,
and I've cried over my sins...

733
00:52:04,491 --> 00:52:06,960
but it just doesn't seem to help.

734
00:52:08,728 --> 00:52:12,632
When I get in a passion,
I get so savage.

735
00:52:12,732 --> 00:52:15,201
I could hurt anyone,
and I'd enjoy it.

736
00:52:16,469 --> 00:52:18,338
You remind me of myself.

737
00:52:20,540 --> 00:52:21,975
But you're never angry.

738
00:52:23,309 --> 00:52:25,845
I'm angry nearly every day
of my life.

739
00:52:27,113 --> 00:52:28,114
You are?

740
00:52:29,282 --> 00:52:31,351
I am not patient by nature.

741
00:52:32,652 --> 00:52:35,989
But with nearly 40 years of effort,

742
00:52:36,890 --> 00:52:38,558
I'm learning to not let it
get the better of me.

743
00:52:41,861 --> 00:52:43,596
Well, I'll do the same, then.

744
00:52:45,598 --> 00:52:48,268
I hope you'll do
a great deal better than me.

745
00:52:50,837 --> 00:52:55,275
There are some natures
too noble to curb

746
00:52:55,342 --> 00:52:57,677
and too lofty to bend.

747
00:53:18,531 --> 00:53:19,532
Jo.

748
00:53:20,500 --> 00:53:23,336
Oh, Beth, my love. Oh.

749
00:53:25,438 --> 00:53:28,575
- You didn't need to come.
- I never should have left.

750
00:53:28,675 --> 00:53:31,311
Do you need anything? Here.

751
00:53:31,411 --> 00:53:32,712
Take some water.

752
00:53:36,449 --> 00:53:38,351
It's so good to see your face.

753
00:53:39,486 --> 00:53:41,921
We're going to the sea to get you strong and well.

754
00:53:41,988 --> 00:53:45,125
- The sea?
- I want you dancing by the time Amy gets back.

755
00:53:46,126 --> 00:53:48,795
- She's not cutting her trip short, is she?
- No, no.

756
00:53:48,862 --> 00:53:50,630
Good.

757
00:53:50,163 --> 00:53:52,632
Is there any news?
What does she say?

758
00:53:52,732 --> 00:53:54,868
She writes that Laurie is there.

759
00:53:54,968 --> 00:53:56,369
I'm glad he's with her.

760
00:53:57,637 --> 00:53:59,873
He won't respond
to any of my letters.

761
00:54:01,207 --> 00:54:02,475
Do you miss him?

762
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:05,311
I miss everything.

763
00:54:07,347 --> 00:54:08,348
I know.

764
00:54:12,686 --> 00:54:15,488
- Hurry up, you two! Meg's gonna be gone for a week.
- We're coming!

765
00:54:15,522 --> 00:54:17,724
You take the other carriage,
Laurie, and spy on Meg.

766
00:54:17,791 --> 00:54:19,659
- Make sure she doesn't fall in love.
- I will.

767
00:54:19,759 --> 00:54:22,262
It was nice of Annie to invite me
to her debutante ball.

768
00:54:22,362 --> 00:54:25,498
- Thank you for letting me go.
- Just be who you are.

769
00:54:25,598 --> 00:54:29,469
And wear this to the ball.
It was mine when I was your age.

770
00:54:29,569 --> 00:54:32,238
I've never understood saving
jewelry until marriage.

771
00:54:32,305 --> 00:54:36,743
You should have something that's just yours.
Pretty things should be enjoyed.

772
00:54:36,843 --> 00:54:39,450
Yes, pretty things
should be enjoyed.

773
00:54:40,447 --> 00:54:41,481
- Can I see it?
- Hannah!

774
00:54:41,548 --> 00:54:43,450
I wish I could
go to the debutante ball.

775
00:54:43,516 --> 00:54:46,553
Do you think this is a good idea,
her going away like this?

776
00:54:46,619 --> 00:54:49,956
Girls have to go into the world
and make up their own minds about things.

777
00:54:50,230 --> 00:54:52,759
- Don't forget about us.
- I won't, Jo. It's only a week.

778
00:54:52,826 --> 00:54:54,761
- It's beautiful.
- It's not yours.

779
00:54:54,828 --> 00:54:58,365
- It would look very good on me.
- She needs to have some decent shoes.

780
00:54:58,431 --> 00:55:02,969
Thank you for the carriage, Mr. Laurence.
I don't know how to repay you.

781
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:04,404
Nonsense, nonsense.

782
00:55:04,471 --> 00:55:07,874
- I said hi to the horses. They're very nice.
- Although there is one thing.

783
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,312
It occurred to me today that my daughter's
piano suffers from want of use.

784
00:55:12,412 --> 00:55:16,216
Any of your girls like to run over
and practice on it now and then?

785
00:55:16,316 --> 00:55:20,954
Just to keep it in tune. If they don't care
to come, why, then never mind.

786
00:55:21,210 --> 00:55:23,990
Oh, sir, they do care.

787
00:55:24,900 --> 00:55:25,191
Very, very much.

788
00:55:26,292 --> 00:55:28,795
- You're the musical girl?
- I love it dearly.

789
00:55:28,862 --> 00:55:33,433
And I'll come if you are quite sure
nobody will hear me and be disturbed.

790
00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:35,268
Not a soul, my dear.

791
00:55:39,572 --> 00:55:40,674
- Miss you.
- Bye.

792
00:55:40,740 --> 00:55:42,108
- Can I borrow your ribbons?
- No.

793
00:55:43,430 --> 00:55:44,878
- Bye!
- Be good. Enjoy the ball.

794
00:55:44,944 --> 00:55:47,847
- Bye. I'll be back soon.
- Don't go and get married.

795
00:55:47,914 --> 00:55:48,982
Don't go fall in love.

796
00:55:49,820 --> 00:55:50,483
- Come back right now.
- I love you.

797
00:55:50,550 --> 00:55:52,686
- Right this second.
- Right this second.

798
00:56:04,264 --> 00:56:05,265
Whoa there.

799
00:56:12,405 --> 00:56:13,406
Thank you.

800
00:56:36,996 --> 00:56:39,132
I'd be so excited about tonight.

801
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:43,269
- Of course.
- Oh, no, I don't actually...

802
00:56:45,205 --> 00:56:47,273
What dress will
you wear tonight, Meg?

803
00:56:47,407 --> 00:56:50,744
- I will wear this one.
- That one? Can't you send home for another?

804
00:56:50,844 --> 00:56:53,380
- I haven't got another.
- Only the one? Oh, that's so funny.

805
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:54,748
Not at all.

806
00:56:54,848 --> 00:56:59,285
There's no need in sending home, Daisy.
I'm going to call you Daisy now.

807
00:56:59,386 --> 00:57:02,922
I've got a sweet pink dress laid away,
and you'll wear it to please me, won't you, Daisy?

808
00:57:03,890 --> 00:57:05,992
- If it's all right.
- Of course.

809
00:57:43,563 --> 00:57:45,231
Everyone's in love with you, Daisy.

810
00:57:45,331 --> 00:57:47,967
- You have to keep my dress.
- I can't keep your dress.

811
00:57:48,340 --> 00:57:49,436
- You have to. Please.
- No.

812
00:57:49,502 --> 00:57:50,870
I love seeing you in it.

813
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,108
Have fun, little Daisy.

814
00:57:55,208 --> 00:57:57,711
Laurie. I didn't know
you were going to come.

815
00:57:57,811 --> 00:57:59,446
Supposed to be a surprise.

816
00:57:59,512 --> 00:58:02,349
And what a lovely surprise
it is.

817
00:58:02,449 --> 00:58:05,385
- Why are they calling you Daisy?
- It's their pet name for me.

818
00:58:07,687 --> 00:58:09,589
Meg is a perfectly good name.

819
00:58:09,689 --> 00:58:14,260
It's just like playing a part
to be Daisy for a little while.

820
00:58:18,932 --> 00:58:20,266
What would Jo say?

821
00:58:25,271 --> 00:58:27,807
You wouldn't actually marry
one of these men, would you?

822
00:58:29,943 --> 00:58:30,977
I might.

823
00:58:32,345 --> 00:58:34,114
You'll get a terrible headache tomorrow.

824
00:58:39,953 --> 00:58:41,354
Do you like how I look?

825
00:58:41,421 --> 00:58:42,922
No, I don't.

826
00:58:44,290 --> 00:58:45,725
Why not?

827
00:58:45,792 --> 00:58:47,761
I don't like fuss and feathers.

828
00:58:48,995 --> 00:58:50,964
You're the rudest boy I ever saw.

829
01:00:22,956 --> 01:00:24,791
Please forgive me and come dance.

830
01:00:25,392 --> 01:00:27,961
I'm afraid it would be
too disagreeable for you.

831
01:00:28,610 --> 01:00:32,532
I don't like your dress,
but I think you are just splendid.

832
01:00:35,268 --> 01:00:37,404
- Really?
- Really.

833
01:00:41,341 --> 01:00:45,178
I know it's silly,
but please don't tell Jo.

834
01:00:45,278 --> 01:00:49,783
Let me have my fun tonight. I'll be
desperately good for the rest of my life.

835
01:01:21,481 --> 01:01:22,749
I'm sorry, John.

836
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:26,720
The silk was
the first real expense.

837
01:01:29,322 --> 01:01:34,327
Ahem. Fifty dollars, while a lot,
is not, I suppose,

838
01:01:34,394 --> 01:01:39,199
too much for a dress with all the notions
that are needed to finish it these days.

839
01:01:43,837 --> 01:01:46,473
It's not exactly even a dress yet.
It's...

840
01:01:48,708 --> 01:01:50,143
It's just the fabric.

841
01:01:52,812 --> 01:01:54,114
Oh.

842
01:01:55,810 --> 01:01:56,820
I see.

843
01:01:57,784 --> 01:01:59,352
I know you're angry, John.

844
01:01:59,452 --> 01:02:01,621
I don't mean to waste your money,
but I can't resist

845
01:02:01,721 --> 01:02:05,580
when I see Sallie buying all she wants
and pitying me because I don't.

846
01:02:06,659 --> 01:02:11,640
I try to be contented,
but it is hard.

847
01:02:11,164 --> 01:02:13,433
And I'm tired of being poor.

848
01:02:16,436 --> 01:02:17,937
I was afraid of this.

849
01:02:19,172 --> 01:02:20,940
I do my best, Meg.

850
01:02:21,410 --> 01:02:22,509
Oh, John.

851
01:02:22,609 --> 01:02:25,745
My dear, kind, hardworking boy.

852
01:02:25,845 --> 01:02:28,515
It was so ungrateful and wicked.

853
01:02:29,716 --> 01:02:31,451
How could I say it?

854
01:02:31,518 --> 01:02:34,754
- Perhaps you meant it.
- No, I didn't.

855
01:02:34,821 --> 01:02:37,223
We'll work out a way to get
you your coat as well,

856
01:02:37,323 --> 01:02:40,260
and then won't we be grand,
the two of us?

857
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,995
I can't afford it, my dear.

858
01:02:42,996 --> 01:02:44,831
- John.
- I need to go to bed.

859
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:47,330
John.

860
01:02:50,700 --> 01:02:55,675
And I really am very sorry that you've had
to do without so many beautiful things...

861
01:02:56,109 --> 01:02:59,479
and that you're married to someone
who can't give them to you.

862
01:03:11,157 --> 01:03:12,158
Hello, Amy.

863
01:03:12,225 --> 01:03:13,893
I don't want to see you.

864
01:03:13,993 --> 01:03:16,830
Don't be mad at me.
I'm sorry for how I behaved.

865
01:03:16,930 --> 01:03:18,231
Have you been drinking again?

866
01:03:18,331 --> 01:03:21,601
- Why are you being so hard on me? It's 4 p.m.
- Someone has to do it.

867
01:03:23,470 --> 01:03:26,639
When do you begin your great work
of art, Raphaella?

868
01:03:26,740 --> 01:03:27,741
Never.

869
01:03:27,741 --> 01:03:29,876
"Never"? What? Why?

870
01:03:30,477 --> 01:03:31,911
I'm a failure.

871
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,981
Jo is in New York being
a writer, and I'm a failure.

872
01:03:35,810 --> 01:03:37,830
That's quite a statement
to make at 20.

873
01:03:37,183 --> 01:03:41,221
Rome took all the vanity out of me,
and Paris made me realize I'd never be a genius,

874
01:03:41,321 --> 01:03:44,624
- so I'm giving up all my foolish artistic hopes.
- Why should you give up?

875
01:03:44,724 --> 01:03:47,927
- You have so much talent and energy.
- Talent isn't genius.

876
01:03:47,994 --> 01:03:50,597
And no amount of
energy can make it so.

877
01:03:50,663 --> 01:03:52,832
I want to be great
or nothing.

878
01:03:52,932 --> 01:03:57,671
And I will not be some commonplace dauber,
and I don't intend to try anymore.

879
01:04:02,142 --> 01:04:05,945
Heh. What women are allowed
into the club of geniuses anyway?

880
01:04:09,449 --> 01:04:10,550
The Brontės?

881
01:04:10,650 --> 01:04:11,818
Hmm.

882
01:04:11,918 --> 01:04:13,653
- That's it?
- Yes, I think so.

883
01:04:13,753 --> 01:04:16,423
And who always declares genius?

884
01:04:16,556 --> 01:04:18,925
- Men, I suppose.
- They're cutting down the competition.

885
01:04:18,992 --> 01:04:22,862
Ha, ha. That's a very complicated argument
to make me feel better.

886
01:04:22,962 --> 01:04:24,531
Do you though?
Do you feel better?

887
01:04:24,631 --> 01:04:30,670
- I do think, male or female, I am of middling talent.
- "Middling talent"?

888
01:04:37,210 --> 01:04:40,280
Then may I ask
your last portrait be of me?

889
01:04:40,347 --> 01:04:41,281
All right.

890
01:04:41,281 --> 01:04:44,584
Now that you've given up
all your foolish artistic hopes...

891
01:04:44,684 --> 01:04:45,585
Mm-hm?

892
01:04:45,585 --> 01:04:47,187
what are you gonna do
with your life?

893
01:04:47,287 --> 01:04:51,358
Polish up all my other talents
and become an ornament to society.

894
01:04:52,425 --> 01:04:54,594
That's where Fred Vaughn
comes in, I suppose.

895
01:04:54,728 --> 01:04:57,364
- Don't make fun.
- I said his name.

896
01:04:58,164 --> 01:05:00,633
- You're not engaged, I hope.
- No.

897
01:05:03,703 --> 01:05:07,107
But you will be if he goes
down properly on one knee?

898
01:05:08,641 --> 01:05:10,276
Most likely, yes.

899
01:05:11,770 --> 01:05:13,913
He's rich. Richer than you, even.

900
01:05:13,980 --> 01:05:16,716
I understand queens of society can't
get on without money,

901
01:05:16,783 --> 01:05:20,353
although it does sound odd from the mouth
of one of your mother's girls.

902
01:05:22,489 --> 01:05:25,925
I've always known I would marry rich.
Why should I be ashamed of that?

903
01:05:25,992 --> 01:05:28,995
It's nothing to be ashamed of,
as long as you love him.

904
01:05:29,620 --> 01:05:31,531
I believe we have some power
over who we love.

905
01:05:31,631 --> 01:05:33,867
It isn't something that
just happens to a person.

906
01:05:33,967 --> 01:05:36,336
I think the poets might disagree.

907
01:05:36,436 --> 01:05:38,271
Well, I'm not a poet.

908
01:05:38,371 --> 01:05:39,806
I'm just a woman.

909
01:05:41,708 --> 01:05:44,678
And as a woman, there's no way
for me to make my own money.

910
01:05:46,246 --> 01:05:50,617
Not enough to earn a living
or to support my family.

911
01:05:50,717 --> 01:05:52,919
If I had my own money,
which I don't,

912
01:05:52,986 --> 01:05:56,560
that money would belong to my husband
the moment we got married.

913
01:05:56,189 --> 01:05:59,125
If we had children,
they would be his, not mine.

914
01:05:59,192 --> 01:06:00,360
They would be his property.

915
01:06:00,427 --> 01:06:05,365
So don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't
an economic proposition because it is.

916
01:06:07,167 --> 01:06:10,700
It may not be for you,
but it most certainly is for me.

917
01:06:13,730 --> 01:06:15,742
Oh, that's Fred.
Can you unbutton me, please?

918
01:06:33,793 --> 01:06:34,861
Thank you.

919
01:06:42,235 --> 01:06:43,703
How do I look?
Do I look all right?

920
01:06:44,304 --> 01:06:45,505
You look beautiful.

921
01:06:49,309 --> 01:06:50,443
You are beautiful.

922
01:06:55,382 --> 01:06:56,383
Hmm.

923
01:07:00,420 --> 01:07:02,355
Fred!

924
01:07:02,422 --> 01:07:03,990
I've missed you.

925
01:07:22,742 --> 01:07:26,212
This is Fred Vaughn and his sister, Kate.
Course you know Mr. Brooke.

926
01:07:26,312 --> 01:07:28,548
This is Meg, Amy, Beth, and Jo.

927
01:07:28,648 --> 01:07:32,850
- So pleased to meet you.
- Oh, how elegant.

928
01:07:32,152 --> 01:07:36,456
I'm Amy March. You remember that name.
I'm gonna come find you one day in London.

929
01:07:36,556 --> 01:07:37,957
Oh, I certainly will.

930
01:08:01,348 --> 01:08:03,717
- Oh, that missed a boat.
- That's very kind.

931
01:08:06,619 --> 01:08:08,388
- Well...
- Sorry.

932
01:08:08,488 --> 01:08:10,123
I know something you don't know.

933
01:08:10,190 --> 01:08:13,393
- Tell me this second.
- Has Meg perhaps mislaid a glove?

934
01:08:14,594 --> 01:08:16,290
- Mr. Brooke has it!
- Yes.

935
01:08:16,129 --> 01:08:17,330
- How do you know?
- I saw it.

936
01:08:17,430 --> 01:08:18,431
- Where?
- In his pocket.

937
01:08:18,531 --> 01:08:20,333
- All this time?
- Yes. Isn't it romantic?

938
01:08:20,433 --> 01:08:22,736
- No, it's horrid.
- I thought you'd be pleased.

939
01:08:22,836 --> 01:08:25,271
At the idea of anybody coming
to take Meg away? No, thank you.

940
01:08:25,372 --> 01:08:28,575
Ah. You'll feel better when somebody comes
to take you away.

941
01:08:28,675 --> 01:08:32,579
- I'd like to see anyone try it.
- I would like to see someone try as well.

942
01:08:38,551 --> 01:08:41,210
"We could never have
loved the earth so well

943
01:08:41,588 --> 01:08:44,157
if we had had no childhood
in it,

944
01:08:44,624 --> 01:08:49,562
if it were not the earth where the same
flowers come up again every spring

945
01:08:49,629 --> 01:08:53,233
that we used to gather
with our tiny fingers.

946
01:08:53,299 --> 01:08:56,436
What novelty is worth
that sweet monotony

947
01:08:57,300 --> 01:08:59,472
where everything is known
and loved

948
01:08:59,572 --> 01:09:01,274
because it is known?"

949
01:09:02,542 --> 01:09:03,943
How great is that?

950
01:09:04,440 --> 01:09:05,345
Mm.

951
01:09:05,445 --> 01:09:07,800
I love to listen
to you read, Jo,

952
01:09:07,147 --> 01:09:09,783
but I just love it better when you read
the stories you've written.

953
01:09:10,150 --> 01:09:12,180
I don't have any new stories.

954
01:09:12,118 --> 01:09:13,119
Why not?

955
01:09:17,223 --> 01:09:18,458
Haven't written any.

956
01:09:19,859 --> 01:09:23,960
You have a pencil and paper.
Sit here and write me something.

957
01:09:25,650 --> 01:09:26,232
I can't.

958
01:09:27,634 --> 01:09:30,804
I don't think I can anymore.

959
01:09:30,870 --> 01:09:31,871
Why?

960
01:09:32,305 --> 01:09:36,476
It's just... no one even cares
to hear my stories anyway.

961
01:09:37,477 --> 01:09:39,879
Write something for me.

962
01:09:41,147 --> 01:09:42,949
You are a writer.

963
01:09:43,490 --> 01:09:45,485
Even before anyone knew
or paid you.

964
01:09:45,552 --> 01:09:48,880
I'm very sick,
and you must do what I say.

965
01:09:50,490 --> 01:09:52,625
Do what Marmee taught us to do.

966
01:09:52,726 --> 01:09:54,227
Do it for someone else.

967
01:09:56,129 --> 01:10:01,501
If you're walking to Vermont,
there's a Mrs. Sewall in Keene, New Hampshire,

968
01:10:01,601 --> 01:10:04,104
- who will give you room and board.
- There you are.

969
01:10:04,671 --> 01:10:06,873
You should go home.
I can take care of this.

970
01:10:06,940 --> 01:10:09,242
No, I need to be here.

971
01:10:09,309 --> 01:10:11,711
I've spent my whole life ashamed
of my country.

972
01:10:11,811 --> 01:10:14,881
No offense meant,
but you should still be ashamed.

973
01:10:14,981 --> 01:10:16,683
I know. I am.

974
01:10:23,556 --> 01:10:26,292
- Hello, sir.
- Hello, ma'am.

975
01:10:26,359 --> 01:10:27,827
Do you have sons in the Army?

976
01:10:29,195 --> 01:10:30,964
Yes, ma'am. I had four.

977
01:10:31,310 --> 01:10:35,301
But two were killed,
and one is a prisoner.

978
01:10:35,402 --> 01:10:39,406
I'm going to the other, who's very sick
in a Washington hospital.

979
01:10:41,641 --> 01:10:44,110
You've done a great deal
for your country, sir.

980
01:10:44,811 --> 01:10:50,160
I'd go myself if I was any use,
but as I ain't, I give my boys.

981
01:10:53,553 --> 01:10:56,122
Sir, I'll get you a blanket...

982
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,629
to keep you warm.

983
01:11:06,900 --> 01:11:09,703
- Thank you. God bless.
- Bless you, sir.

984
01:11:09,803 --> 01:11:13,640
Mrs. March. Telegram
from Washington, ma'am.

985
01:11:14,708 --> 01:11:18,780
- Is Jo back yet from Aunt March?
- No, I haven't seen her yet.

986
01:11:18,144 --> 01:11:20,480
- I've got it!
- You want another pair of shoes?

987
01:11:20,547 --> 01:11:23,550
Thank you.
I can't miss the last train.

988
01:11:23,650 --> 01:11:26,486
- Hannah, did you get Father's nightshirts?
- Yes, I did.

989
01:11:26,553 --> 01:11:28,288
What can I do to help,
Beth?

990
01:11:28,355 --> 01:11:30,156
- Thank you for being here.
- Of course.

991
01:11:30,290 --> 01:11:34,728
- Did you find the warm blanket?
- If I may be of any more assistance, please tell me.

992
01:11:34,794 --> 01:11:38,331
- I'll look in on the girls every day without fail.
- Do we need more books or cloth?

993
01:11:38,365 --> 01:11:39,366
Thank you.

994
01:11:39,366 --> 01:11:42,202
I've always admired your husband.
I pray for a quick recovery.

995
01:11:42,268 --> 01:11:43,670
I found these linens.

996
01:11:43,770 --> 01:11:46,206
- Hannah, medicine?
- The medicine is all packed.

997
01:11:46,272 --> 01:11:49,542
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I came to offer myself as escort to your mother.

998
01:11:49,642 --> 01:11:51,544
Mr. Laurence has commissions
in Washington,

999
01:11:51,678 --> 01:11:54,781
and it would give me real satisfaction
to be of service to her there.

1000
01:11:54,881 --> 01:11:56,149
Oh.

1001
01:11:56,249 --> 01:11:57,984
- Thank you.
- Of course.

1002
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,822
All right, while I'm gone,
Hannah is in charge.

1003
01:12:02,922 --> 01:12:06,693
Remember to check on the Hummels.
It will be a difficult winter for everyone.

1004
01:12:06,793 --> 01:12:08,294
Will this be enough
for the train?

1005
01:12:09,262 --> 01:12:13,660
Twenty-five dollars? That's not like
Aunt March to be so generous.

1006
01:12:13,199 --> 01:12:15,235
I didn't go to Aunt March.
I couldn't bear to.

1007
01:12:15,301 --> 01:12:18,705
- Where'd you get the money?
- I only sold what was my own.

1008
01:12:18,805 --> 01:12:21,107
Jo! Your hair!

1009
01:12:21,207 --> 01:12:23,243
- Your one beauty.
- You look like a boy.

1010
01:12:23,309 --> 01:12:26,513
Well, it doesn't affect the fate
of the nation, so don't wail.

1011
01:12:27,647 --> 01:12:30,160
Oh, I'm so proud you're my daughter.

1012
01:12:30,116 --> 01:12:34,487
I was crazy to do something for Father.
It'll be good for my vanity anyway.

1013
01:12:34,554 --> 01:12:36,322
- That could be nice.
- You never do that.

1014
01:12:36,389 --> 01:12:38,425
- This isn't what I wanted for her.
- Oh, Teddy.

1015
01:12:40,326 --> 01:12:41,327
Oh, Jo.

1016
01:12:42,562 --> 01:12:45,231
My girls, I love you
more than words can say.

1017
01:12:45,365 --> 01:12:48,468
Be good to each other.
Pray for Father's recovery.

1018
01:12:48,568 --> 01:12:50,537
And I'll be back as soon as I can.

1019
01:12:50,637 --> 01:12:51,638
Love you.

1020
01:12:59,512 --> 01:13:00,547
Jo.

1021
01:13:02,782 --> 01:13:05,318
What is it? Is it Father?

1022
01:13:05,385 --> 01:13:06,386
No.

1023
01:13:07,687 --> 01:13:09,556
It's my hair.

1024
01:13:14,527 --> 01:13:17,230
I would feel the same way.

1025
01:13:17,330 --> 01:13:18,732
I know you would.

1026
01:13:22,302 --> 01:13:24,571
Laurie, when are you
going back to your grandfather?

1027
01:13:25,500 --> 01:13:26,239
Very soon.

1028
01:13:27,707 --> 01:13:31,177
- You've said that a dozen times in the past month.
- Short answers save trouble.

1029
01:13:31,311 --> 01:13:34,981
Well, he is expecting you,
so why don't you do it?

1030
01:13:35,810 --> 01:13:38,985
- Natural depravity, I suppose.
- Natural indolence, you mean.

1031
01:13:39,119 --> 01:13:42,889
I'll only plague him if I go, so I might
as well stay and plague you a little longer.

1032
01:13:43,230 --> 01:13:44,190
You can bear it.

1033
01:13:44,290 --> 01:13:47,627
- In fact, I think it agrees with you.
- Stop it. Stop.

1034
01:13:52,232 --> 01:13:54,634
- What are you doing?
- I'm looking at you.

1035
01:13:54,768 --> 01:13:57,570
I mean, what do you intend to do?

1036
01:13:57,670 --> 01:13:58,738
- With life?
- Yes.

1037
01:13:58,838 --> 01:14:01,274
I've been writing an opera.
I would be the central figure.

1038
01:14:01,341 --> 01:14:02,342
That's a waste of time.

1039
01:14:04,440 --> 01:14:05,712
What would you have me do?

1040
01:14:15,388 --> 01:14:18,591
Go work for your grandfather
and make something of yourself.

1041
01:14:18,692 --> 01:14:21,194
You're not playing fair.

1042
01:14:25,965 --> 01:14:26,966
Here.

1043
01:14:31,471 --> 01:14:33,239
That's... That's very good.

1044
01:14:35,342 --> 01:14:36,710
When did you do this one?

1045
01:14:38,278 --> 01:14:40,800
It was the day at the beach.

1046
01:14:41,348 --> 01:14:43,283
First time I met Fred.

1047
01:14:43,350 --> 01:14:44,551
That's right.

1048
01:14:50,523 --> 01:14:51,558
What's he doing?

1049
01:14:54,594 --> 01:14:57,263
He's in London on business.

1050
01:14:57,364 --> 01:14:58,698
He'll be back in a few weeks.

1051
01:15:16,349 --> 01:15:17,517
Don't marry him.

1052
01:15:19,753 --> 01:15:20,754
What?

1053
01:15:24,124 --> 01:15:25,225
Don't marry him.

1054
01:15:27,227 --> 01:15:28,228
Why?

1055
01:15:28,628 --> 01:15:30,830
Why? You know why.

1056
01:15:35,100 --> 01:15:36,200
No.

1057
01:15:36,469 --> 01:15:37,404
No.

1058
01:15:37,404 --> 01:15:39,406
- Yes.
- No. Laurie.

1059
01:15:39,472 --> 01:15:40,940
- What?
- You're being mean.

1060
01:15:41,410 --> 01:15:42,909
- Stop it. Stop it.
- What? How am I being mean?

1061
01:15:43,710 --> 01:15:47,547
I have been second to Jo
my whole life in everything.

1062
01:15:48,248 --> 01:15:52,850
And I will not be the person you settle
for just because you cannot have her.

1063
01:15:52,152 --> 01:15:53,820
I won't. I won't do it.

1064
01:15:57,390 --> 01:16:00,860
I won't. Not when I've spent
my entire life loving you.

1065
01:16:14,274 --> 01:16:18,645
I'm making a mold of my foot for Laurie,
to remind him I have nice feet.

1066
01:16:18,712 --> 01:16:22,382
Mr. Brooke writes that Father
is still very weak but improving.

1067
01:16:23,883 --> 01:16:27,787
Mr. Brooke also says that Mother is
the best nurse a man could ask for.

1068
01:16:27,887 --> 01:16:30,557
I wish all the letters were
from Mother and not Mr. Brooke.

1069
01:16:30,623 --> 01:16:31,858
I'm grateful for any letters.

1070
01:16:31,991 --> 01:16:34,627
I think the deep purple is
very fitting for Mr. Laurence.

1071
01:16:34,728 --> 01:16:37,564
- Do you agree, Amy?
- Mm-hm. Quite. The design is very cunning.

1072
01:16:37,630 --> 01:16:41,301
I had to thank him somehow for allowing me
to play the piano at his house all the time.

1073
01:16:41,401 --> 01:16:44,704
I'm going into town for groceries.
Jo, can you look into getting more firewood?

1074
01:16:44,804 --> 01:16:46,906
You all haven't been
to the Hummels. We should go.

1075
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:50,710
Bethy, we barely have enough to feed ourselves.
Besides, I have to finish this story.

1076
01:16:50,810 --> 01:16:52,946
- Marmee said...
- Marmee told us to do lots of things,

1077
01:16:53,460 --> 01:16:54,514
but we can't possibly do them all.

1078
01:16:54,581 --> 01:16:57,250
I always go by myself. And you haven't
kept up with your tasks.

1079
01:16:57,350 --> 01:17:00,487
- We do. We work.
- Don't worry. We'll find a time.

1080
01:17:00,553 --> 01:17:01,554
But it's been weeks.

1081
01:17:01,554 --> 01:17:04,791
- We'll go soon.
- My foot is stuck! I can't get it out!

1082
01:17:04,891 --> 01:17:09,963
Stop it, Jo! I can't get it out!
I'm going to lose my foot. Ow.

1083
01:17:10,630 --> 01:17:11,364
Fine. I'll go myself.

1084
01:17:14,901 --> 01:17:17,270
Hello. For Mr. Laurence.

1085
01:17:29,115 --> 01:17:30,450
Shh. Here she comes.

1086
01:17:40,593 --> 01:17:42,328
Beth, look what they got you!

1087
01:17:42,395 --> 01:17:44,864
- Here's a letter from the old gentleman.
- Open the note.

1088
01:17:45,999 --> 01:17:47,634
Oh, Beth, just look.

1089
01:17:52,172 --> 01:17:54,441
Jo, read the letter. I cannot.

1090
01:17:55,742 --> 01:17:59,579
"Miss Beth March, I have had
many pairs of slippers in my life,

1091
01:17:59,679 --> 01:18:03,490
but I never had any
that suited me so well as yours.

1092
01:18:03,116 --> 01:18:05,919
And they will always remind me
of the gentle giver.

1093
01:18:05,985 --> 01:18:09,389
I like to pay my debts
and hope you will accept this gift.

1094
01:18:09,489 --> 01:18:12,826
Your grateful friend
and humble servant, James Laurence."

1095
01:18:12,926 --> 01:18:15,795
- Oh, Beth!
- So sweet. "Your humble servant."

1096
01:18:15,862 --> 01:18:17,931
- Isn't it beautiful?
- Look how shiny it is!

1097
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,401
- Yes.
- It has gold that goes all the way around the back.

1098
01:18:21,468 --> 01:18:25,710
- His handwriting is beautiful.
- It's got a little drawer here.

1099
01:18:37,584 --> 01:18:40,954
Sir, I wanted to thank you for...

1100
01:18:52,365 --> 01:18:53,800
You remind me...

1101
01:18:54,868 --> 01:18:56,903
so much of my little girl.

1102
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:02,750
The piano is yours.

1103
01:19:02,142 --> 01:19:05,545
- I should have given it to you long ago.
- Thank you.

1104
01:19:07,347 --> 01:19:08,548
My child...

1105
01:19:10,500 --> 01:19:11,618
you're burning.

1106
01:19:13,219 --> 01:19:14,788
The Hummels are very sick.

1107
01:19:25,765 --> 01:19:26,900
She's resting.

1108
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,136
- How is she? Is there anything I can do?
- What is it?

1109
01:19:30,236 --> 01:19:32,500
- Scarlet fever.
- What's scarlet fever?

1110
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,641
I visited the Hummels.
The baby has died.

1111
01:19:34,708 --> 01:19:36,443
Have you all had it before?

1112
01:19:36,543 --> 01:19:39,679
- Meg and I have, but Amy hasn't.
- Then she'll have to be sent away.

1113
01:19:39,746 --> 01:19:40,980
I don't want to be sent away.

1114
01:19:41,810 --> 01:19:43,550
- See if Aunt March can take her.
- I don't like Aunt March.

1115
01:19:43,650 --> 01:19:46,386
- It's for your own good, child.
- Should we send for Mother?

1116
01:19:46,486 --> 01:19:50,223
- No, we shouldn't worry her.
- I've never wished for money more than now.

1117
01:19:50,323 --> 01:19:54,427
Listen, we'll nurse her
and she'll get better.

1118
01:19:54,527 --> 01:19:55,528
She will.

1119
01:19:57,864 --> 01:20:01,668
"The post office in the forest was
a capital little institution

1120
01:20:01,768 --> 01:20:05,205
and flourished wonderfully,
for many things passed through it.

1121
01:20:05,271 --> 01:20:08,975
Poetry and pickles,
music and gingerbread,

1122
01:20:09,750 --> 01:20:12,746
invitations, scoldings,
and even puppies."

1123
01:20:14,581 --> 01:20:16,549
- It's all about us.
- It is.

1124
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,120
- I love it.
- It's just a little story.

1125
01:20:20,186 --> 01:20:22,922
- Nothing like what you usually write.
- You think it's too boring?

1126
01:20:22,989 --> 01:20:25,250
- No, it's my favorite one yet.
- Really?

1127
01:20:25,125 --> 01:20:26,559
- Write me another.
- Yes, ma'am.

1128
01:20:26,626 --> 01:20:27,961
- Keep writing them.
- I will.

1129
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:29,462
Even when I'm not here.

1130
01:20:33,867 --> 01:20:36,236
- Don't say that. Don't say it.
- Jo, I have to tell you.

1131
01:20:36,302 --> 01:20:37,303
No, you don't.

1132
01:20:37,404 --> 01:20:40,507
I've had a very long time
to think about this, and...

1133
01:20:40,607 --> 01:20:42,308
- And I'm not afraid.
- No.

1134
01:20:43,109 --> 01:20:44,110
Nope.

1135
01:20:47,781 --> 01:20:51,551
It's like the tide going out.
It goes out slowly, but it can't be stopped.

1136
01:20:58,124 --> 01:20:59,426
I'll stop it.

1137
01:21:14,541 --> 01:21:16,109
I stopped it before.

1138
01:21:32,926 --> 01:21:35,662
You will get better,
Father will get better,

1139
01:21:35,762 --> 01:21:37,897
and we'll all be together soon,
all right?

1140
01:21:39,199 --> 01:21:40,200
We...

1141
01:21:41,670 --> 01:21:45,380
- We can't stop God's will.
- Well, God hasn't met my will yet.

1142
01:21:45,105 --> 01:21:46,873
What Jo wills shall be done.

1143
01:22:03,890 --> 01:22:05,910
Amy.

1144
01:22:05,191 --> 01:22:06,393
Come here.

1145
01:22:13,233 --> 01:22:14,167
Yes?

1146
01:22:14,167 --> 01:22:15,235
Come, sit.

1147
01:22:23,243 --> 01:22:27,800
If you are very good, one day,
this ring will belong to you.

1148
01:22:29,749 --> 01:22:32,552
- Really?
- If you keep being a proper young lady,

1149
01:22:32,652 --> 01:22:33,987
just see if it doesn't.

1150
01:22:38,958 --> 01:22:40,994
You are your family's hope now.

1151
01:22:42,228 --> 01:22:45,165
Beth is sick, Jo is a lost cause,

1152
01:22:45,231 --> 01:22:49,536
and I hear Meg has had her head turned
by a penniless tutor, so...

1153
01:22:51,710 --> 01:22:54,841
it'll be up to you to support them all.

1154
01:22:56,276 --> 01:22:58,845
And your indigent parents
in their old age.

1155
01:23:00,313 --> 01:23:02,480
So you must marry well.

1156
01:23:03,483 --> 01:23:04,584
Hmm?

1157
01:23:06,686 --> 01:23:07,987
Save your family.

1158
01:23:11,558 --> 01:23:14,661
All right, that's, uh...
That's all I wanted to say to you.

1159
01:23:15,829 --> 01:23:19,532
So you can go back
and do your little painting.

1160
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:30,744
- Hello, Aunt March.
- Oh.

1161
01:23:30,877 --> 01:23:33,480
That Laurence boy was just here.

1162
01:23:33,546 --> 01:23:34,781
He was?

1163
01:23:34,881 --> 01:23:37,784
What a disappointment
he's turned out to be.

1164
01:23:37,884 --> 01:23:39,586
Must be the Italian in him.

1165
01:23:39,719 --> 01:23:41,788
Uh, when will he be back?

1166
01:23:41,888 --> 01:23:42,789
Hmm.

1167
01:23:42,789 --> 01:23:44,324
He's gone.

1168
01:23:44,391 --> 01:23:45,392
To London.

1169
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:48,361
Why?

1170
01:23:49,829 --> 01:23:52,320
What do you need to discuss
with him?

1171
01:24:06,312 --> 01:24:09,849
I... I just told Fred Vaughn
I wouldn't marry him.

1172
01:24:34,140 --> 01:24:35,141
Meg.

1173
01:24:42,182 --> 01:24:44,250
I'll come home to help
with the children. Sorry.

1174
01:24:44,284 --> 01:24:46,820
- I just... I'm so worried for Beth.
- Stay.

1175
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:50,223
- I asked for leave. I will take care of the children.
- Oh, John.

1176
01:24:53,159 --> 01:24:54,194
There's one other thing.

1177
01:24:54,260 --> 01:24:56,996
You should send your fabric
to the dressmaker as soon as possible.

1178
01:24:57,630 --> 01:24:59,132
- I can't.
- I don't want to hear another word.

1179
01:24:59,232 --> 01:25:00,800
I want you to have that dress.

1180
01:25:00,867 --> 01:25:03,236
My old coat will be fine
for the winter.

1181
01:25:03,303 --> 01:25:04,571
- John, I...
- It's all settled.

1182
01:25:04,637 --> 01:25:06,206
John, I really can't.

1183
01:25:06,906 --> 01:25:08,908
I sold the fabric to Sallie.

1184
01:25:11,111 --> 01:25:12,112
You did?

1185
01:25:14,547 --> 01:25:16,783
I don't want you to be unhappy.

1186
01:25:16,883 --> 01:25:18,985
I couldn't be.

1187
01:25:19,850 --> 01:25:22,655
John Brooke is my husband.

1188
01:25:22,756 --> 01:25:24,224
And I am his wife.

1189
01:25:31,731 --> 01:25:34,367
Hannah! It's all right.
It's all right.

1190
01:25:39,390 --> 01:25:40,400
What do we do?

1191
01:25:42,442 --> 01:25:44,277
We should send for your mother.

1192
01:25:59,526 --> 01:26:01,270
- Marmee!
- Bless you.

1193
01:26:01,127 --> 01:26:03,163
She's worse. I didn't know
what else to do.

1194
01:26:03,263 --> 01:26:05,265
- Jo, how is she?
- My girls.

1195
01:26:05,365 --> 01:26:06,433
My sweet Beth.

1196
01:26:06,499 --> 01:26:09,869
Hannah, make a clear broth.
Jo, get ice. We need to cool you.

1197
01:26:11,638 --> 01:26:13,273
Who's with Father?

1198
01:26:13,340 --> 01:26:14,708
John stayed with him.

1199
01:26:14,808 --> 01:26:16,643
We need to change the linens.

1200
01:26:16,710 --> 01:26:19,245
We're going to move you,
sweet girl.

1201
01:26:19,312 --> 01:26:20,513
- Oh, look at her.
- That's it.

1202
01:26:20,580 --> 01:26:21,781
Hold on. It's okay.

1203
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:25,485
I know.

1204
01:27:15,435 --> 01:27:16,703
Please fight.

1205
01:27:23,430 --> 01:27:25,311
Don't go quietly.

1206
01:27:25,412 --> 01:27:26,413
Fight.

1207
01:27:27,781 --> 01:27:30,950
Please, please, just fight
to the end and be loud,

1208
01:27:31,510 --> 01:27:33,486
and don't just quietly go away, Beth.

1209
01:27:56,676 --> 01:27:57,677
Marmee?

1210
01:28:00,847 --> 01:28:01,848
Marmee?

1211
01:28:02,582 --> 01:28:03,583
Marmee?

1212
01:28:08,755 --> 01:28:09,756
Jo.

1213
01:28:17,230 --> 01:28:18,665
Merry Christmas, Beth.

1214
01:28:18,765 --> 01:28:20,567
Popcorn. Make sure that it's
in the middle.

1215
01:28:20,633 --> 01:28:22,335
- I know.
- You're doing the sides first,

1216
01:28:22,369 --> 01:28:25,972
and they aren't spaced for my popcorn
because I'm making a popcorn garland.

1217
01:28:26,673 --> 01:28:29,409
And you're wasting decorations,
and they're not dangling right.

1218
01:28:29,476 --> 01:28:32,545
The sides are the most important thing.
If you don't have the sides...

1219
01:28:32,679 --> 01:28:35,315
Here's another Christmas gift
for the March family.

1220
01:28:36,449 --> 01:28:38,752
- Oh, my God! Father!
- Father!

1221
01:28:39,252 --> 01:28:40,220
Father!

1222
01:28:43,823 --> 01:28:45,225
My little women.

1223
01:28:47,193 --> 01:28:48,628
How you've grown.

1224
01:28:49,929 --> 01:28:51,197
Oh, Beth.

1225
01:28:51,865 --> 01:28:53,700
Merry Christmas, my dear.

1226
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,803
- Merry Christmas to each of you.
- Merry Christmas, Father.

1227
01:28:56,870 --> 01:28:58,380
Merry Christmas.

1228
01:29:00,674 --> 01:29:02,509
Oh, thank God.

1229
01:29:02,609 --> 01:29:04,978
- Thank God you're home.
- Thank God for you.

1230
01:29:05,679 --> 01:29:08,114
Now I can be angry with you
in person.

1231
01:31:16,910 --> 01:31:19,379
I can't believe today
is my wedding day.

1232
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:21,281
Mm.

1233
01:31:22,182 --> 01:31:23,183
What's wrong?

1234
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:25,510
Nothing.

1235
01:31:26,152 --> 01:31:27,153
Jo.

1236
01:31:30,490 --> 01:31:32,792
We can leave.
We can leave right now.

1237
01:31:32,892 --> 01:31:34,994
I can make money. I'll sell stories.

1238
01:31:35,610 --> 01:31:39,599
I'll do anything. I'll cook. I'll clean.
I'll work in a factory. I can make a life for us.

1239
01:31:39,666 --> 01:31:41,735
- Jo...
- And you should be an actress,

1240
01:31:41,835 --> 01:31:43,837
and you should have
a life on the stage.

1241
01:31:43,903 --> 01:31:45,538
Let's just run away together.

1242
01:31:45,638 --> 01:31:48,208
- I want to get married.
- Oh, why?

1243
01:31:48,274 --> 01:31:49,776
Because I love him.

1244
01:31:49,909 --> 01:31:52,979
You will be bored of him
in two years,

1245
01:31:53,790 --> 01:31:54,981
and we'll be interesting forever.

1246
01:31:55,115 --> 01:31:58,752
Just because my dreams are different than yours
doesn't mean they're unimportant.

1247
01:32:01,121 --> 01:32:02,355
I want a home.

1248
01:32:03,356 --> 01:32:06,826
And a family. And I'm willing
to work and struggle.

1249
01:32:06,926 --> 01:32:09,396
But I want to do it with John.

1250
01:32:14,768 --> 01:32:16,703
I just hate that you're leaving me.

1251
01:32:18,405 --> 01:32:19,506
Don't leave.

1252
01:32:19,606 --> 01:32:20,674
Oh, Jo.

1253
01:32:23,843 --> 01:32:25,478
I'm not leaving you.

1254
01:32:26,212 --> 01:32:27,614
And besides...

1255
01:32:29,983 --> 01:32:31,985
one day, it will be your turn.

1256
01:32:39,125 --> 01:32:41,828
I'd rather be a free spinster
and paddle my own canoe.

1257
01:32:43,363 --> 01:32:44,364
I would.

1258
01:32:50,470 --> 01:32:52,505
Can't believe childhood is over.

1259
01:32:54,674 --> 01:32:57,744
It was going to end one way
or another.

1260
01:32:57,844 --> 01:32:59,312
And what a happy end.

1261
01:33:01,881 --> 01:33:04,840
What excessive promises...

1262
01:33:04,184 --> 01:33:07,620
giving yourself away
to get the other.

1263
01:33:07,721 --> 01:33:09,289
What a gift.

1264
01:33:09,356 --> 01:33:14,627
Always given before is known
the cost or the reward.

1265
01:33:14,728 --> 01:33:16,429
I pronounce you man and wife.

1266
01:33:17,597 --> 01:33:19,650
You may kiss the bride.

1267
01:33:56,803 --> 01:33:58,438
Oh, don't have to make a fuss.

1268
01:33:58,471 --> 01:34:00,640
You don't need to see me
to the carriage.

1269
01:34:00,707 --> 01:34:01,941
Oh, I'm happy to.

1270
01:34:02,420 --> 01:34:04,277
I hope you will be happy now...

1271
01:34:04,878 --> 01:34:08,415
that you've ruined your life the same way
your mother did by marrying your father.

1272
01:34:09,582 --> 01:34:11,951
My dear sister,
you're too kind.

1273
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,880
- And thank you for today's festivities.
- You're most welcome.

1274
01:34:15,155 --> 01:34:16,556
Thank you, Aunt March.

1275
01:34:16,623 --> 01:34:19,993
Oh, I don't like to be kissed.

1276
01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:21,828
Oh, I'm sorry.

1277
01:34:21,928 --> 01:34:25,765
You will be sorry when you've tried love
in a cottage and found it a failure.

1278
01:34:25,832 --> 01:34:28,802
It can't be worse than
some people find in big houses.

1279
01:34:28,868 --> 01:34:32,105
Oh, I quite understand your meaning,
missus.

1280
01:34:33,139 --> 01:34:34,708
I don't miss a thing.

1281
01:34:34,808 --> 01:34:36,643
We know this.

1282
01:34:36,710 --> 01:34:39,713
And you're not entirely wrong.

1283
01:34:39,846 --> 01:34:43,149
I may not always be right,
but I'm never wrong.

1284
01:34:44,500 --> 01:34:48,988
Ohh. And here is the only sane member
of the family.

1285
01:34:49,890 --> 01:34:50,957
I really can't take
any more of this.

1286
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:52,792
- I know.
- You can imagine.

1287
01:35:00,900 --> 01:35:04,700
Marmee! Marmee!
Marmee, Marmee, Marmee!

1288
01:35:04,170 --> 01:35:06,139
- What?
- Aunt March is going to Europe.

1289
01:35:06,272 --> 01:35:08,410
Oh, and she wants me
to go with her!

1290
01:35:08,942 --> 01:35:10,276
That's wonderful!

1291
01:35:10,343 --> 01:35:13,113
Now I know why I spent
all those boring hours reading to her.

1292
01:35:13,179 --> 01:35:14,714
No, no, she wants me to go.

1293
01:35:16,249 --> 01:35:18,151
As her companion.

1294
01:35:18,251 --> 01:35:20,120
Europe, with you?

1295
01:35:20,186 --> 01:35:23,390
Yes, she wants me to work on my art
and my French, of course.

1296
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,192
You don't really like
French though, do you?

1297
01:35:28,862 --> 01:35:30,296
That's wonderful, Amy.

1298
01:35:32,799 --> 01:35:35,101
Father! I'm going to Europe!

1299
01:35:59,859 --> 01:36:01,327
Meg married.

1300
01:36:01,394 --> 01:36:03,563
Amy off to Europe.

1301
01:36:03,663 --> 01:36:06,633
And now that you're a graduate,
you'll be off on a long holiday.

1302
01:36:08,501 --> 01:36:11,671
I'm just not good like Beth,
so I'm angry and restless.

1303
01:36:11,771 --> 01:36:14,441
You don't have to stay here, Jo.

1304
01:36:14,541 --> 01:36:16,843
Why? Should we run off
and join a pirate ship?

1305
01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:25,850
- No. No.
- It's no use, Jo.

1306
01:36:25,185 --> 01:36:26,453
- Don't.
- We got to have it out.

1307
01:36:26,519 --> 01:36:27,587
- No.
- I have loved you

1308
01:36:27,687 --> 01:36:30,123
ever since I've known you, Jo.
I couldn't help it.

1309
01:36:30,223 --> 01:36:32,592
- I tried to show and you wouldn't let me.
- No.

1310
01:36:32,726 --> 01:36:37,130
But I must make you hear now and give me
an answer because I cannot go on like this!

1311
01:36:37,197 --> 01:36:38,765
- Please don't.
- I gave up billiards.

1312
01:36:38,865 --> 01:36:41,134
I gave up everything you didn't like.
I'm happy I did.

1313
01:36:41,201 --> 01:36:44,771
It's fine, and I waited,
and I never complained because I...

1314
01:36:46,206 --> 01:36:48,475
You know, I figured
you'd love me, Jo.

1315
01:36:49,609 --> 01:36:51,644
And I realize I'm not
half good enough

1316
01:36:51,745 --> 01:36:53,880
- and I'm not this great man...
- No! Yes, you are.

1317
01:36:53,980 --> 01:36:55,615
You're a great deal
too good for me.

1318
01:36:55,682 --> 01:36:59,552
And I'm so grateful to you,
and I'm so proud of you, and I just...

1319
01:36:59,652 --> 01:37:02,756
I don't see why I can't love you
as you want me to.

1320
01:37:02,856 --> 01:37:04,570
I don't know why.

1321
01:37:04,924 --> 01:37:05,992
You can't?

1322
01:37:06,126 --> 01:37:08,328
No. I can't.

1323
01:37:08,395 --> 01:37:10,563
I can't change how I feel, and...

1324
01:37:12,499 --> 01:37:15,350
it would be a lie to say
I do when I don't.

1325
01:37:16,436 --> 01:37:17,871
I'm so sorry, Teddy.

1326
01:37:18,938 --> 01:37:21,741
I'm so sorry,
but I just can't help it.

1327
01:37:21,808 --> 01:37:24,244
I can't love anyone else, Jo.
I only love you.

1328
01:37:24,344 --> 01:37:25,912
It would be a disaster
if we married.

1329
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:27,814
- It wouldn't be.
- We'd be miserable.

1330
01:37:27,881 --> 01:37:29,883
- Jo, I'd be a perfect saint.
- I can't! I can't!

1331
01:37:29,983 --> 01:37:32,752
- I've tried it and I failed. I can't.
- Why does everyone expect it, then?

1332
01:37:32,752 --> 01:37:36,856
Why does your family and my grandpa expect it?
Why are you saying this? Say yes.

1333
01:37:36,956 --> 01:37:41,895
- Let's be happy together, Jo!
- I can't say yes truly, so I'm not going to say it at all.

1334
01:37:41,961 --> 01:37:44,264
You'll see that I'm right eventually,

1335
01:37:44,364 --> 01:37:45,965
and you'll thank me for it.

1336
01:37:50,303 --> 01:37:52,205
I'd rather hang myself
than realize this, Jo.

1337
01:37:52,305 --> 01:37:54,174
- Teddy.
- I would rather be dead.

1338
01:37:54,641 --> 01:37:56,760
Teddy, don't say that.

1339
01:37:57,210 --> 01:37:58,211
Teddy.

1340
01:37:59,879 --> 01:38:03,883
Listen, you'll find some lovely,
accomplished girl

1341
01:38:03,983 --> 01:38:06,653
who will love you
and adore you,

1342
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:10,390
and she's gonna make a fine mistress
for your fine house, but I wouldn't.

1343
01:38:10,523 --> 01:38:11,925
- Yes, you would, Jo.
- Look at me.

1344
01:38:12,250 --> 01:38:14,961
- I'm homely, and I'm awkward, and I'm odd.
- I love you, Jo.

1345
01:38:15,610 --> 01:38:17,130
- And you'd be ashamed of me.
- I love you, Jo.

1346
01:38:17,197 --> 01:38:19,999
And we would quarrel
because we can't help it even now.

1347
01:38:22,769 --> 01:38:27,407
I'd hate elegant society, you'd hate
my scribbling, and we would be unhappy.

1348
01:38:27,474 --> 01:38:30,410
And we'd wish we hadn't done it,
and everything will be horrid.

1349
01:38:33,513 --> 01:38:34,914
Is there anything more?

1350
01:38:36,249 --> 01:38:37,984
- No, nothing more.
- All right.

1351
01:38:38,985 --> 01:38:39,953
Except that...

1352
01:38:44,357 --> 01:38:46,793
Teddy, I don't believe
I will ever marry.

1353
01:38:48,128 --> 01:38:49,863
I'm happy as I am,

1354
01:38:49,929 --> 01:38:52,732
and I love my liberty too well
to be in any hurry to give it up.

1355
01:38:52,799 --> 01:38:54,234
- I think you're wrong, Jo.
- No.

1356
01:38:54,334 --> 01:38:57,700
I think you will marry.
I think you'll find someone and love them.

1357
01:38:57,170 --> 01:39:00,206
And you will live and die for them
because that's your way, and you will.

1358
01:39:03,777 --> 01:39:04,978
And I'll watch.

1359
01:39:44,284 --> 01:39:46,520
I don't want to disturb your writing.

1360
01:39:47,870 --> 01:39:48,521
I don't do that anymore.

1361
01:39:50,857 --> 01:39:52,920
It didn't save her.

1362
01:40:08,975 --> 01:40:11,110
You're much too lonely here, Jo.

1363
01:40:12,879 --> 01:40:17,317
Wouldn't you like to go back to New York?
What about your friend Friedrich?

1364
01:40:17,417 --> 01:40:18,852
- Wasn't that his name?
- No.

1365
01:40:20,553 --> 01:40:24,391
I ruined our friendship with my temper,
just as I ruin everything.

1366
01:40:24,491 --> 01:40:25,925
I'm sure I'll never see him again.

1367
01:40:25,992 --> 01:40:28,828
I doubt that a sincere friend
would be deterred.

1368
01:40:31,164 --> 01:40:32,499
I wish that were true.

1369
01:40:36,202 --> 01:40:39,339
If I was a girl in a book,
this would all be so easy.

1370
01:40:41,675 --> 01:40:43,510
Just give up the world happily.

1371
01:40:47,847 --> 01:40:49,449
Laurie's returning, you know.

1372
01:40:50,316 --> 01:40:52,180
- Oh, he is?
- Mm.

1373
01:40:52,850 --> 01:40:54,921
There was a letter from Amy.
She's coming home.

1374
01:40:55,210 --> 01:40:57,891
She's devastated about Beth.

1375
01:40:57,957 --> 01:41:02,950
Aunt March is very ill,
so Laurie will accompany them.

1376
01:41:05,265 --> 01:41:07,670
- That's good of him.
- Mm.

1377
01:41:12,205 --> 01:41:14,274
- What is it?
- I don't know.

1378
01:41:14,374 --> 01:41:16,710
I've always been quite content
with my family.

1379
01:41:19,579 --> 01:41:21,140
Don't understand it.

1380
01:41:23,316 --> 01:41:25,285
Perhaps...

1381
01:41:25,385 --> 01:41:27,854
Perhaps I...

1382
01:41:27,921 --> 01:41:30,223
was too quick in turning him down.

1383
01:41:31,491 --> 01:41:32,492
Laurie.

1384
01:41:35,610 --> 01:41:36,329
Do you love him?

1385
01:41:40,100 --> 01:41:42,802
If he asked me again,
I think I would say yes.

1386
01:41:44,170 --> 01:41:45,739
Do you think he'll ask me again?

1387
01:41:46,873 --> 01:41:48,274
But do you love him?

1388
01:41:50,410 --> 01:41:52,479
I care more to be loved.

1389
01:41:53,446 --> 01:41:54,714
I want to be loved.

1390
01:41:55,815 --> 01:41:58,151
That is not the same as loving.

1391
01:42:02,622 --> 01:42:03,623
I know.

1392
01:42:06,259 --> 01:42:09,329
You know, I just...
I just feel...

1393
01:42:09,396 --> 01:42:11,970
I just feel like...

1394
01:42:12,532 --> 01:42:14,334
women, they...

1395
01:42:16,636 --> 01:42:21,410
They have minds and they have souls,
as well as just hearts.

1396
01:42:21,141 --> 01:42:24,878
And they've got ambition and they've got talent,
as well as just beauty.

1397
01:42:24,978 --> 01:42:30,183
And I'm so sick of people saying
that love is just all a woman is fit for.

1398
01:42:30,283 --> 01:42:31,785
I'm so sick of it.

1399
01:42:33,420 --> 01:42:36,322
But I'm... I'm so lonely.

1400
01:43:19,299 --> 01:43:22,535
Couldn't let you travel alone
with Aunt March being so sick.

1401
01:43:24,204 --> 01:43:25,972
Even if you despise me.

1402
01:43:27,540 --> 01:43:29,342
I don't despise you, Laurie.

1403
01:43:36,850 --> 01:43:38,718
Beth was the best of us.

1404
01:43:51,698 --> 01:43:53,400
I'm not marrying Fred.

1405
01:43:57,137 --> 01:43:58,772
I heard about that.

1406
01:43:58,838 --> 01:44:03,643
And you are under no obligation
to say anything or do anything.

1407
01:44:06,846 --> 01:44:09,149
I just didn't love him as I should.

1408
01:44:11,184 --> 01:44:14,387
So we don't need to talk about it.
We don't need to say anything.

1409
01:44:24,197 --> 01:44:26,166
My dear Teddy,

1410
01:44:26,232 --> 01:44:28,435
I miss you more than
I can express.

1411
01:44:29,202 --> 01:44:32,505
I used to think that
the worst fate was to be a wife.

1412
01:44:33,773 --> 01:44:35,742
I was young and stupid.

1413
01:44:37,100 --> 01:44:38,878
But now I have changed.

1414
01:44:38,978 --> 01:44:42,480
The worst fate is to live
my life without you in it.

1415
01:44:43,416 --> 01:44:46,686
I was wrong to turn you down
and run away to New York.

1416
01:44:53,126 --> 01:44:54,427
Oysters!

1417
01:44:59,165 --> 01:45:00,500
Lobsters!

1418
01:45:12,879 --> 01:45:13,947
Jo.

1419
01:45:14,948 --> 01:45:16,783
Jo. Jo.

1420
01:45:18,284 --> 01:45:19,285
Jo.

1421
01:45:20,387 --> 01:45:21,388
Wake up.

1422
01:45:22,122 --> 01:45:23,123
Wake up.

1423
01:45:26,693 --> 01:45:30,563
- Teddy! Oh, you're back.
- Are you glad to see me, then?

1424
01:45:31,598 --> 01:45:32,732
Yes.

1425
01:45:33,166 --> 01:45:34,868
Oh, I was worried.

1426
01:45:35,735 --> 01:45:37,604
Oh. Here, come sit.

1427
01:45:43,677 --> 01:45:47,470
How's Amy? Did she bother you all the way
from Europe with her preening?

1428
01:45:47,113 --> 01:45:49,349
Yes, but I like that.

1429
01:45:49,449 --> 01:45:50,950
Where is she?
Did she not come home?

1430
01:45:51,510 --> 01:45:53,586
Your mother has her down at Meg's.
We stopped on the way.

1431
01:45:53,687 --> 01:45:55,922
There was no getting my wife
out of their clutches.

1432
01:45:58,258 --> 01:45:59,626
Your what?

1433
01:45:59,759 --> 01:46:03,563
I've done it now.
It was meant to be a surprise.

1434
01:46:03,963 --> 01:46:05,965
We were engaged
and we were hoping to wait,

1435
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:09,169
but that is to say that
now we are man and wife.

1436
01:46:12,380 --> 01:46:13,473
You and Amy?

1437
01:46:13,573 --> 01:46:14,574
Yes.

1438
01:46:26,219 --> 01:46:27,554
Are you in love?

1439
01:46:27,654 --> 01:46:28,655
Yes.

1440
01:46:32,292 --> 01:46:34,728
Jo, I want to say one thing
and then we'll put it away forever.

1441
01:46:34,761 --> 01:46:36,996
I've always loved you.

1442
01:46:37,970 --> 01:46:38,965
But the love I feel for Amy,
it's different.

1443
01:46:39,432 --> 01:46:40,433
And I think...

1444
01:46:41,334 --> 01:46:44,700
you were right about this.
I think we would've killed each other.

1445
01:46:46,873 --> 01:46:47,907
Yes.

1446
01:46:48,475 --> 01:46:50,143
I think it was meant this way.

1447
01:46:52,112 --> 01:46:53,313
Oh, Teddy.

1448
01:46:53,747 --> 01:46:55,849
You're the only one that
ever calls me that, Jo.

1449
01:46:55,915 --> 01:46:56,916
"Teddy."

1450
01:46:58,351 --> 01:46:59,919
What does Amy call you?

1451
01:46:59,986 --> 01:47:01,988
"My lord."

1452
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:03,957
That sounds like her.

1453
01:47:07,994 --> 01:47:09,963
Well, you look deserving of it.

1454
01:47:12,732 --> 01:47:15,235
Could we still be friends,
Jo, please?

1455
01:47:18,405 --> 01:47:21,141
Of course, my boy.
Always.

1456
01:47:32,850 --> 01:47:33,353
She's a painter.

1457
01:47:34,287 --> 01:47:35,689
Are you excited?

1458
01:47:46,232 --> 01:47:47,233
Laurie told you?

1459
01:47:47,333 --> 01:47:48,768
Yes, yes.

1460
01:47:50,270 --> 01:47:52,272
Amy, I'm so happy for you.

1461
01:47:52,672 --> 01:47:54,574
This... This was meant to be.

1462
01:47:54,641 --> 01:47:56,643
Oh, I'm so relieved.
Thank you.

1463
01:47:56,710 --> 01:47:58,645
I wanted to write, Jo.
I wanted to write.

1464
01:47:58,712 --> 01:48:01,281
And I wanted to explain,
but everything was happening so fast

1465
01:48:01,348 --> 01:48:03,683
and I was worried you'd be angry at me.

1466
01:48:03,817 --> 01:48:06,486
- No. No.
- No, you're not angry at me?

1467
01:48:08,254 --> 01:48:10,623
Life is too short to be angry
at one's sisters.

1468
01:48:16,796 --> 01:48:18,131
I really miss her.

1469
01:48:18,565 --> 01:48:19,566
I know.

1470
01:48:23,336 --> 01:48:24,337
Thank you.

1471
01:49:23,229 --> 01:49:24,531
Mr. Laurence.

1472
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:28,401
Jo.

1473
01:49:30,570 --> 01:49:31,838
Oh, Jo.

1474
01:49:34,274 --> 01:49:37,177
I couldn't bring myself to...

1475
01:49:41,614 --> 01:49:45,185
The house doesn't seem right
without her, and...

1476
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:49,589
Couldn't go in,
knowing she wouldn't be there.

1477
01:49:57,300 --> 01:49:59,432
I know I'm not half
so good as my sister,

1478
01:49:59,999 --> 01:50:03,470
but you know I'll be a friend
to lean on, if you'll let me.

1479
01:50:11,277 --> 01:50:12,278
All right.

1480
01:53:38,118 --> 01:53:39,986
Dear Mr. Dashwood,

1481
01:53:40,860 --> 01:53:44,491
enclosed are the first few chapters
of a piece I've only begun working on.

1482
01:53:44,591 --> 01:53:48,294
It could suit as a story for young people,
but I think it is probably quite boring.

1483
01:53:48,995 --> 01:53:53,433
However, I'm sending it to you just in case
it has something of value, though I doubt it.

1484
01:53:53,533 --> 01:53:54,701
Jo March.

1485
01:54:14,540 --> 01:54:15,789
I thought she hated me.

1486
01:54:15,889 --> 01:54:18,258
She could still hate you
and leave you the house.

1487
01:54:18,358 --> 01:54:20,160
What about you and John?

1488
01:54:20,226 --> 01:54:23,430
We can't manage a grand house
like this. It's too big.

1489
01:54:31,871 --> 01:54:37,100
I should sell it, but I'd love to do something
that would really make Aunt March turn in her grave.

1490
01:54:37,770 --> 01:54:39,790
- I wouldn't mind that.
- A nice turning.

1491
01:54:39,179 --> 01:54:41,470
Just a rotation,
nothing terrible.

1492
01:54:41,448 --> 01:54:42,682
What will you do?

1493
01:54:44,651 --> 01:54:46,720
I'd like to open a school.

1494
01:54:46,786 --> 01:54:49,856
We never had a proper school,
and now there are women's colleges opening.

1495
01:54:49,923 --> 01:54:52,158
There should be a school. For Daisy.

1496
01:54:52,258 --> 01:54:55,362
- And what will Demi do?
- I'll open a school for boys and girls both.

1497
01:54:56,363 --> 01:54:57,464
What about writing?

1498
01:54:58,732 --> 01:55:01,301
- What about it?
- What are you working on?

1499
01:55:01,401 --> 01:55:04,504
I started something,
but I don't think it's very good.

1500
01:55:04,637 --> 01:55:07,607
- Everyone likes what you write.
- No, they don't.

1501
01:55:07,674 --> 01:55:09,175
I do.

1502
01:55:09,242 --> 01:55:11,478
Well, it's just
about our little life.

1503
01:55:11,578 --> 01:55:12,712
So?

1504
01:55:12,812 --> 01:55:15,248
Well, who will be
interested in a story

1505
01:55:15,315 --> 01:55:17,217
of domestic struggles
and joys?

1506
01:55:17,283 --> 01:55:19,119
It doesn't have any
real importance.

1507
01:55:19,219 --> 01:55:22,422
Maybe it doesn't seem important
because people don't write about them.

1508
01:55:22,522 --> 01:55:26,192
No, writing doesn't confer importance.
It reflects it.

1509
01:55:27,494 --> 01:55:29,295
I don't think so.

1510
01:55:29,362 --> 01:55:31,431
Writing them will make them
more important.

1511
01:55:33,266 --> 01:55:35,402
When did you become so wise?

1512
01:55:35,468 --> 01:55:38,304
I always have been. You were just
too busy noticing my faults.

1513
01:55:38,405 --> 01:55:40,240
Which were never there,
of course.

1514
01:55:56,756 --> 01:55:58,191
Dear Miss March,

1515
01:55:58,291 --> 01:56:02,962
I read the chapters you sent and I have
to agree, they aren't very promising.

1516
01:56:03,290 --> 01:56:07,734
But, please, send more stories
of the scandalous variety, if you have any.

1517
01:56:08,134 --> 01:56:10,370
Or, shall I say, your friend can.

1518
01:56:11,471 --> 01:56:13,840
My apologies for the joke.

1519
01:56:13,907 --> 01:56:14,974
I couldn't help it.

1520
01:56:15,475 --> 01:56:16,976
Jo, come down!

1521
01:56:18,780 --> 01:56:19,790
Coming!

1522
01:56:21,681 --> 01:56:23,149
I'm starving.

1523
01:56:25,952 --> 01:56:28,221
- Jo, you might wanna wait because...
- I'm famished.

1524
01:56:28,254 --> 01:56:30,490
But, Jo, dear, you have a guest.

1525
01:56:30,590 --> 01:56:32,192
I don't know anyone.

1526
01:56:32,292 --> 01:56:34,928
I'm sorry to intrude, but...

1527
01:56:37,300 --> 01:56:38,198
It's you.

1528
01:56:47,907 --> 01:56:50,343
Oh, uh... Heh.

1529
01:56:51,845 --> 01:56:52,946
Hello.

1530
01:56:53,713 --> 01:56:55,849
Hello. I'm Josephine March.

1531
01:56:55,949 --> 01:56:57,650
- I'm Jo.
- Josephine, is that you?

1532
01:56:57,717 --> 01:57:01,354
Welcome! Welcome.
This is Kitty and Minnie.

1533
01:57:01,488 --> 01:57:06,893
And I see that you have already met our professor.
And he's a very accomplished man.

1534
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:09,290
And your mother says
that you are a writer.

1535
01:57:09,129 --> 01:57:10,730
I keep a diary,
you know.

1536
01:57:10,797 --> 01:57:15,235
We have a lot of interesting people here,
intellectuals and Europeans...

1537
01:57:15,335 --> 01:57:18,805
Jo, I hope it is all right.
I got your address from Ms. Kirke.

1538
01:57:18,872 --> 01:57:20,473
Who's this?
Who are you?

1539
01:57:20,573 --> 01:57:25,110
I'm so sorry to intrude.
I was close by, and I thought I'd...

1540
01:57:25,780 --> 01:57:27,147
- But I'll be going.
- No, no.

1541
01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:29,115
Please stay.
We have more than enough room.

1542
01:57:29,249 --> 01:57:30,850
Can someone tell me
who this man is?

1543
01:57:30,917 --> 01:57:32,252
I don't want to be a burden.

1544
01:57:32,318 --> 01:57:33,653
Oh, you're not a burden at all.

1545
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:35,422
- Yes, of course. Please.
- I'm Laurie.

1546
01:57:35,455 --> 01:57:37,624
- Who are you?
- I'm Friedrich Bhaer.

1547
01:57:37,724 --> 01:57:40,226
We were at the same boardinghouse
together in New York.

1548
01:57:40,326 --> 01:57:43,229
Oh, Jo, he's very handsome.

1549
01:57:52,472 --> 01:57:54,307
Do you intend to stay
in New York?

1550
01:57:54,407 --> 01:57:57,744
No. I've been offered
a professorship in California.

1551
01:57:58,778 --> 01:58:02,716
And, as I have nothing
keeping me here,

1552
01:58:02,816 --> 01:58:05,318
I thought I might go west.

1553
01:58:05,418 --> 01:58:09,155
It is new there, and they are
less particular about immigrants.

1554
01:58:09,689 --> 01:58:11,658
Perhaps I should go west.

1555
01:58:11,758 --> 01:58:15,195
You're not an immigrant,
so perhaps you should stay home.

1556
01:58:18,765 --> 01:58:20,133
I'm going!

1557
01:58:29,175 --> 01:58:30,210
Jo!

1558
01:58:30,276 --> 01:58:32,479
- Joseph, not Josephine.
- I know Joseph.

1559
01:58:32,579 --> 01:58:33,913
Pretty well, actually.

1560
01:58:36,116 --> 01:58:38,885
This is a beautiful instrument.

1561
01:58:38,952 --> 01:58:40,353
Which one of you plays?

1562
01:58:40,487 --> 01:58:42,822
Oh, it was my sister Beth.

1563
01:58:42,922 --> 01:58:44,958
We all play a little, but...

1564
01:58:45,580 --> 01:58:46,760
But none so well as her.

1565
01:58:46,826 --> 01:58:48,962
It is very hard to lose
a sister.

1566
01:58:50,300 --> 01:58:51,640
I'm sorry.

1567
01:58:53,330 --> 01:58:55,869
- Do you play?
- Yes. I do.

1568
01:58:55,969 --> 01:58:58,571
It would make us so happy
if you'd play now.

1569
01:58:58,638 --> 01:59:00,807
She wouldn't want the piano
to sit silent.

1570
01:59:02,308 --> 01:59:03,743
I don't wish to offend.

1571
01:59:03,843 --> 01:59:05,445
Not in the least.

1572
01:59:33,106 --> 01:59:36,409
- It was so lovely to meet you.
- Lovely to meet you. Goodbye.

1573
01:59:36,476 --> 01:59:38,144
It was a real pleasure, Mr. Bhaer.

1574
01:59:38,244 --> 01:59:39,946
- Bye, Laurie.
- Goodbye.

1575
01:59:42,349 --> 01:59:44,751
- Thank you for everything.
- Lovely to have you.

1576
01:59:44,851 --> 01:59:49,856
If you ever come to California,
I would love to see you.

1577
01:59:51,758 --> 01:59:54,294
I don't know that I will,
but thank you.

1578
01:59:58,331 --> 02:00:00,800
Well, goodbye.

1579
02:00:03,336 --> 02:00:04,337
Goodbye.

1580
02:00:18,918 --> 02:00:19,919
What?

1581
02:00:20,854 --> 02:00:22,555
Why are you all looking
at me like that?

1582
02:00:22,655 --> 02:00:24,958
What a wonderful man.
I hope he comes back.

1583
02:00:25,580 --> 02:00:26,826
He would make a terrific friend
for me.

1584
02:00:26,960 --> 02:00:29,429
- Oh, Father, he wasn't here for you!
- No?

1585
02:00:29,529 --> 02:00:31,865
- Jo, you love him.
- What?!

1586
02:00:31,965 --> 02:00:33,800
- No, no, I don't.
- Yes, you do!

1587
02:00:33,867 --> 02:00:37,771
I am half as smart as you, but I can see
it so plainly. You love him.

1588
02:00:37,837 --> 02:00:39,973
- Doesn't she love him?
- Good instinct. You love him.

1589
02:00:40,730 --> 02:00:43,430
I have never seen you
so happy. What else is love?

1590
02:00:43,109 --> 02:00:46,579
You need to go after him. Laurie,
prepare the horses. We can catch him.

1591
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:48,581
- I'm coming too.
- No, I'm not going.

1592
02:00:48,682 --> 02:00:51,510
- Yes, you are. Amy is right.
- Exactly!

1593
02:00:51,117 --> 02:00:54,554
Never thought I'd prepare a carriage
to help Jo March chase a man, but I like it.

1594
02:00:54,654 --> 02:00:56,456
- He's moving to California.
- That was fiction!

1595
02:00:56,489 --> 02:00:59,959
- He was practically begging for a reason to stay.
- But it's raining outside.

1596
02:01:00,260 --> 02:01:01,961
That doesn't matter.
Can you come with me?

1597
02:01:02,950 --> 02:01:03,563
- I need to fix you.
- Jo.

1598
02:01:03,630 --> 02:01:07,634
Laurie, will you stop standing there
and go get the horses ready? Thank you.

1599
02:01:14,407 --> 02:01:18,878
You never ask about my mother,
even when you know I've seen her.

1600
02:01:18,978 --> 02:01:21,470
I assume she's still alive.

1601
02:01:21,114 --> 02:01:22,849
But I ask after your mother.

1602
02:01:22,916 --> 02:01:24,951
And I have no idea why.

1603
02:01:25,510 --> 02:01:27,554
- You're willfully missing the point.
- That's true.

1604
02:01:28,688 --> 02:01:31,658
- What is that...? What do they want?
- I have no idea.

1605
02:01:32,492 --> 02:01:34,894
- Father, are you publishing this?
- What happened to the "little women"?

1606
02:01:34,928 --> 02:01:36,696
Tell me you have
the rest of this book.

1607
02:01:37,697 --> 02:01:38,698
What?

1608
02:01:52,779 --> 02:01:54,948
I'm just trying to fix this hair.

1609
02:01:59,552 --> 02:02:01,554
Ah! Stop, stop, stop.
Stop the carriage.

1610
02:02:01,688 --> 02:02:03,189
- Wait, stop!
- Stop the carriage!

1611
02:02:03,256 --> 02:02:06,920
- Stop. All right, Go. Out. Out.
- Go. Go, go, go.

1612
02:02:06,159 --> 02:02:07,360
- Go!
- Jo, your hair!

1613
02:02:07,427 --> 02:02:09,950
Kiss him with love!

1614
02:02:18,710 --> 02:02:21,808
Frankly, I don't see
why she didn't marry the neighbor.

1615
02:02:21,875 --> 02:02:23,910
Well, because the neighbor marries
her sister.

1616
02:02:25,478 --> 02:02:28,114
Right, right.
Of course.

1617
02:02:30,150 --> 02:02:32,452
- So who does she marry?
- No one.

1618
02:02:32,819 --> 02:02:34,354
She doesn't marry either of them.

1619
02:02:35,388 --> 02:02:36,389
No.

1620
02:02:37,657 --> 02:02:40,593
No! No, no,
that won't work at all.

1621
02:02:40,727 --> 02:02:42,562
She says the whole book that
she doesn't want to marry.

1622
02:02:42,595 --> 02:02:44,264
Who cares?

1623
02:02:44,397 --> 02:02:48,268
- Girls want to see women married, not consistent.
- No, it isn't the right ending.

1624
02:02:48,368 --> 02:02:50,570
The right ending is
the one that sells.

1625
02:02:51,838 --> 02:02:52,772
Trust me.

1626
02:02:52,772 --> 02:02:56,976
If you decide to end your delightful book
with your heroine a spinster,

1627
02:02:57,430 --> 02:02:58,712
no one will buy it.

1628
02:02:58,812 --> 02:03:00,647
It won't be worth printing.

1629
02:03:01,748 --> 02:03:05,819
I suppose marriage has always been
an economic proposition, even in fiction.

1630
02:03:06,252 --> 02:03:07,320
It's romance.

1631
02:03:07,754 --> 02:03:10,390
- It's mercenary.
- Just end it that way, will you?

1632
02:03:11,524 --> 02:03:12,525
Fine.

1633
02:03:12,525 --> 02:03:13,793
- Go!
- Jo, your hair!

1634
02:03:13,927 --> 02:03:15,595
- Kiss him with love!
- Go!

1635
02:03:18,365 --> 02:03:21,234
- You look so beautiful!
- Go, Jo!

1636
02:03:39,986 --> 02:03:40,987
Jo!

1637
02:03:48,828 --> 02:03:51,598
I... I don't want you to leave.
I want you to stay.

1638
02:03:51,698 --> 02:03:52,999
- You do?
- Yes.

1639
02:03:53,660 --> 02:03:54,968
I would never leave
if you wish me to stay.

1640
02:03:55,350 --> 02:03:57,670
- No, I want you to stay.
- I have nothing to give you, Jo.

1641
02:03:57,771 --> 02:03:59,239
It doesn't matter.

1642
02:03:59,339 --> 02:04:00,707
My hands are empty.

1643
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:02,800
They're not empty.

1644
02:04:04,310 --> 02:04:07,470
- Well, thank you.
- We could call the chapter...

1645
02:04:08,615 --> 02:04:10,216
"Under the Umbrella."

1646
02:04:10,283 --> 02:04:11,718
- That's good.
- Perfect.

1647
02:04:11,818 --> 02:04:14,200
- Now, there's the question of the contract.
- Mm-hm.

1648
02:04:14,870 --> 02:04:16,423
I'm prepared to give you
5 percent of the royalties.

1649
02:04:16,489 --> 02:04:18,224
So I get 5 percent
of the profit.

1650
02:04:18,291 --> 02:04:21,561
Five percent of the net profits,
after I recoup.

1651
02:04:21,761 --> 02:04:24,364
Huh. Well, what about
a payment up front?

1652
02:04:24,464 --> 02:04:27,667
I'm the one taking the risk
in printing this book.

1653
02:04:27,734 --> 02:04:29,469
Yes, but it's my book.

1654
02:04:29,536 --> 02:04:31,604
And if it does well, we'll both make money.

1655
02:04:31,705 --> 02:04:33,540
If not, I can stay in business.

1656
02:04:33,606 --> 02:04:35,241
Oh, so I get nothing
if it fails.

1657
02:04:35,375 --> 02:04:38,778
No, I'll give you $500 right now
to buy out the copyright.

1658
02:04:39,245 --> 02:04:40,246
The copyright?

1659
02:04:40,246 --> 02:04:42,582
That's the right for reprinting,
that sort of thing.

1660
02:04:42,649 --> 02:04:44,651
Sequels, characters for other stories.

1661
02:04:44,751 --> 02:04:48,621
- Mm. Might that be worth something?
- Well, only if it's a success.

1662
02:04:48,688 --> 02:04:52,920
I see. It seems like something
I would want to own, no?

1663
02:04:52,192 --> 02:04:55,610
Didn't you say your family needed
the money more immediately?

1664
02:04:55,128 --> 02:04:57,564
Yes, they do, which is
why I wanted up-front payment.

1665
02:04:57,664 --> 02:05:01,401
No. It's too risky.
I'll only pay for the copyright.

1666
02:05:08,842 --> 02:05:11,745
You keep your $500,
and I'll keep the copyright.

1667
02:05:13,546 --> 02:05:15,982
Also, I want 10 percent
of royalties.

1668
02:05:17,817 --> 02:05:21,488
Five point five percent.
That's very generous.

1669
02:05:21,588 --> 02:05:24,257
- Nine percent.
- Six percent, and that's it.

1670
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:31,231
Mr. Dashwood, if I'm going to sell my heroine
into marriage for money, I might as well get some of it.

1671
02:05:32,298 --> 02:05:34,000
Six point six percent.

1672
02:05:35,602 --> 02:05:36,569
Done.

1673
02:05:36,569 --> 02:05:39,172
And you don't need to decide
