JO: My sisters and I
remember that winter

5
00:02:55,676 --> 00:02:58,746
as the coldest
of our childhood.

6
00:02:58,812 --> 00:03:03,351
A temporary poverty had
settled upon our family
some years before.

7
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:06,954
The war had made fuel
and lamp oil scarce.

8
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:10,424
But necessity is indeed
the mother of invention.

9
00:03:10,491 --> 00:03:12,526
Somehow in that dark time,

10
00:03:12,593 --> 00:03:15,363
our family,
the March family,

11
00:03:15,429 --> 00:03:17,865
seemed to create
its own light.

We've been expectorating
you for hours!

Have you, my darling?

00:03:35,115 --> 00:03:37,285

Oh, Marmee,
you're frozen!

19
00:03:38,852 --> 00:03:40,521
Yes, if you could see
the people lined up

20
00:03:40,588 --> 00:03:42,022

in this bitter cold.

21
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:44,091
Mmm, your cheeks are so warm.

Christmas bundles?

24
00:03:46,927 --> 00:03:48,996

We were handing out...

25

Oh, how is your cold?

26
00:03:50,364 --> 00:03:51,632
Better.

27
00:03:51,699 --> 00:03:53,301
That's good.
We were handing out food

28
00:03:53,367 --> 00:03:56,103
as quickly as we could
make up the baskets.

29
00:03:56,169 --> 00:03:58,906

what is this in my pocket?

Perhaps we could send

the butter too.

00:12:44,798 --> 00:12:48,836
Meg and Jo, you have to
tell me exquisitely everything
about Belle Gardiner.

172
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:50,804
What her nose looks
like and about her ring.

173
00:12:50,871 --> 00:12:52,439
Annie Gardiner
says it's an emerald.

174
00:12:52,505 --> 00:12:55,342
Can you imagine?
Everyone's lucky but me.

175
00:12:55,408 --> 00:12:58,611
I'm glad I don't have
to go and be with
those frightening people,

176
00:12:58,678 --> 00:13:01,048
and try to think
of things to say.

177
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,249
Hush now.

178
00:13:02,315 --> 00:13:04,451
Oh, mind you, Jo,
don't eat much at supper.

179
00:13:04,517 --> 00:13:07,187
And don't shake
hands with people.
It isn't the thing anymore.

180
00:13:07,254 --> 00:13:08,388
Jo, your dress!

181
00:13:08,455 --> 00:13:09,957
Oh, I know!

182
00:13:10,023 --> 00:13:12,926
You always stand
too close to the fire.

183
00:13:12,993 --> 00:13:15,662
Oh, dear.
Well, just keep
your backside to the wall.

184
00:13:15,728 --> 00:13:18,498
Meg, look.
What cunning little heels.

185
00:13:18,565 --> 00:13:19,967
BETH: They're rather small.

186
00:13:20,033 --> 00:13:23,103
MEG: That's all right.
It's only for one night.

187
00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:26,073
You don't suppose anyone
will notice they came out
of the rag bag, do you?

188
00:13:26,907 --> 00:13:27,975
You have to have heels.

189
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:33,947
(SNIFFING)
What's that strange smell?

190
00:13:34,014 --> 00:13:35,448

191
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:37,484

194
00:13:44,391 --> 00:13:45,893
You've ruined me!

195
00:13:45,959 --> 00:13:50,263
I'm sorry! I'm sorry.
You shouldn't
have had me do it.

196
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:52,099
Meg, don't worry.
It'll grow back soon enough.

197
00:13:52,165 --> 00:13:53,901
JO: I spoil everything!

198
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,835
(GASPS)
I can't go out like this!

199
00:13:55,903 --> 00:13:57,905
Good!
I'm not going either.

200
00:13:57,971 --> 00:14:00,373
Here, we'll place
my bow in front.

201
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:03,977
BETH: Yes, that covers it.

202
00:14:04,044 --> 00:14:05,712
It's very becoming, Meg.

203
00:14:05,778 --> 00:14:09,649
I'll never have any suitors.
I'll just be
a dried-up old spinster.

204
00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:12,219
You don't need
scores of suitors.

205
00:14:12,285 --> 00:14:15,488
You only need one,
if he's the right one.

206
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:17,624
Listen to the child.

207
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:20,727
Meg isn't going to
be married
right away, is she?

208
00:14:20,793 --> 00:14:22,395
With Jo's help,
I never will.

209
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:27,968
Oh, you must be so happy.

210
00:14:28,035 --> 00:14:30,070
Oh, Belle,
it's enchanting.

211
00:14:32,239 --> 00:14:35,042
Well, I best go
and help mama.
Excuse me.

I think it's Mrs. Barkley.

214
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:54,061
She's going to try it.
Watch her.

215
00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:17,550
Oh, yes, I would
like it very much.

(GASPS)
Jehoshaphat!
I'm sorry.

217
00:15:30,998 --> 00:15:34,801
No, no, stay!
It's not a bad
hiding place.

218
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:38,705
You see, I don't know anyone
so I felt awkward standing
and staring at people.

219
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:41,975
Should I put on my jacket?
I never know the rules.

220
00:15:42,042 --> 00:15:44,544
Um, um, I'm Laurie.

but I'm, uh,
I'm called Laurie.

222
00:15:48,415 --> 00:15:49,949
Jo March.

223
00:15:51,851 --> 00:15:54,254
So, who were
you staring at?

224
00:15:54,321 --> 00:15:57,757
Uh, you, actually.
What, what game
were you playing?

225
00:15:58,625 --> 00:16:00,927
I don't know,
but I think I won.

226

227
00:16:03,196 --> 00:16:05,532
Well, I was...

228
00:16:05,598 --> 00:16:07,934
I was quite taken
with that one.

229
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:16,043
That's Meg.
That's my sister.

230

She's completely
bald in front.

231
00:16:22,082 --> 00:16:25,818
Is it true that you lived
in Italy among
artists and vagrant?

232
00:16:27,287 --> 00:16:30,690
My mother was Italian.
A pianist.

233
00:16:33,293 --> 00:16:35,028
Grandfather
disapproved of her.

234
00:16:35,095 --> 00:16:36,629
Truly?

235
00:16:36,696 --> 00:16:38,998
I saw a play like that once.
Do you like the theater?

236
00:16:39,066 --> 00:16:40,067
Oh, yes.

237
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:41,434
Were you born there?

238
00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:44,937
Where?
In Italy.

239
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,773
Do you speak French
or Italian?

240
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:49,909

He insists I go to college.

244
00:16:56,249 --> 00:16:58,851
Oh, I'd commit murder
to go to college.

245
00:17:01,121 --> 00:17:03,890
Actually,
I'm going to Europe.

246
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:08,728
Well, at least I hope I am.
My Great-Aunt March says
she'll go one of these days,

247
00:17:08,795 --> 00:17:12,365
and she has to take me
with her because I work
as her companion.

248
00:17:12,432 --> 00:17:15,935
I have to read to her
for hours and hours.

249
00:17:16,002 --> 00:17:18,071
But I do
all the voices!

250
00:17:18,138 --> 00:17:20,307
I'll bet you do.

251
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:23,910
If I weren't going to be
a writer, I'd go to New York
and pursue the stage.

253
00:17:26,979 --> 00:17:27,980
Very.

I'm sorry.
Meg always makes me take
the gentleman's part at home.

257
00:17:57,677 --> 00:18:00,347
It's a shame you
don't know
the lady's part.

258
00:18:02,014 --> 00:18:04,083
Why are you looking
at the back of my dress?
You cheat.

259
00:18:04,151 --> 00:18:06,052
It doesn't look so bad.
Honestly.

260
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,521
JO: You promised
you wouldn't look.

261
00:18:08,588 --> 00:18:11,023
Oh, Jo,
I've sprained my ankle.

262
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,693
I shouldn't wonder
in those shoes!
Does it hurt?

00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,196
Oh. Oh, no, no.
I'm quite well,
thank you.

Oh, poor Meg.
I'll go tell Mrs. Gardiner.

266
00:18:22,302 --> 00:18:25,205
Oh, no, Jo.
She'll think I've
been sampling the punch.

good party ruined.

get this shoe?

Did you ride in his carriage?
Oh, you two have all the luck.

276
00:18:58,338 --> 00:19:00,707
Oh, Jo,
is he very romantic?

277
00:19:00,773 --> 00:19:02,442
Not in the slightest!

278
00:19:02,509 --> 00:19:05,378
We're very much
obliged to him, but,
he's a dreadful boy.

279
00:19:05,445 --> 00:19:08,281
Well, he did a good deed
putting snow on this ankle.

280
00:19:08,348 --> 00:19:10,149
He put snow
on your ankle?

281
00:19:10,217 --> 00:19:11,984
To bed, Miss Amy.

282
00:19:12,885 --> 00:19:14,287
With his own hands?

00:19:14,354 --> 00:19:16,155
Oh, stop being
so swoony!

284
00:19:16,223 --> 00:19:20,527
I won't have my girls
being silly about boys.
To bed, Jo, dear.

285
00:19:21,561 --> 00:19:23,162
Does this hurt?

286
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,199
Everything lovely
happens to Meg.

287
00:19:26,266 --> 00:19:27,867
Oh, yes indeed!

288
00:19:27,934 --> 00:19:29,969
You mustn't be soppy
about Laurie anymore
than you should be soppy

289
00:19:30,036 --> 00:19:31,971
about those silly
girls at school.

290
00:19:32,038 --> 00:19:33,506
We shall be
good friends with him.

are unusually active,
Mrs. March, if I may say so.

298

You may indeed,
Mr. Brooke.

299
00:20:05,872 --> 00:20:07,607
It is my opinion that
young girls are no different

300
00:20:07,674 --> 00:20:09,809
than boys in their
need for exertion.

301
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:12,712
Feminine weakness
and fainting spells
are the direct result

302
00:20:12,779 --> 00:20:14,447
of our confining young
girls to the house,

303
00:20:14,514 --> 00:20:17,016
bent over their needlework
in restrictive corsets.

304
00:20:20,287 --> 00:20:21,521
Marmee!

305
00:20:23,623 --> 00:20:26,225
Your young student
is an athlete.

306
00:20:28,395 --> 00:20:30,830
He is, thank you,
a good one.

307
00:20:30,897 --> 00:20:33,400
But he makes
an unruly scholar.

308
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:35,668
I regret that his
grandfather is away much.

309
00:20:38,004 --> 00:20:39,339
One hopes
that your girls

310
00:20:39,406 --> 00:20:41,207
will be a
gentling influence.

311
00:20:41,274 --> 00:20:42,742
Indeed, Mr. Brooke.

312
00:20:45,445 --> 00:20:49,248
Marmee, must you speak
to everyone about corsets?

313
00:20:49,316 --> 00:20:50,550
Oh, Meg.

314
00:20:51,351 --> 00:20:52,519
Do I?

315
00:20:53,019 --> 00:20:54,421
(LAUGHTER)

316
00:20:57,624 --> 00:20:59,826

Blast these wretched skirts!

317
00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:03,430

"blast" and "wretch."

318
00:21:03,496 --> 00:21:06,065
Amy, don't be such
a ninny-pinny.

319
00:21:06,132 --> 00:21:10,036
I wish I was Beth
so I could stay home
and do pleasant things.

320
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:13,540
Oh, if you call
doing laundry and
housework pleasant!

321
00:21:14,374 --> 00:21:16,476
Blast!

322
00:21:16,543 --> 00:21:18,811

I'll be late for work.

323
00:21:20,647 --> 00:21:23,115
There's Mrs. King.
I'm tardy again.

324
00:21:26,686 --> 00:21:28,321
Lovely children.

325
00:21:28,388 --> 00:21:32,224
Oh, Meg,
must I go to school?
I'm so degradatated.

326
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:35,828
I can hardly
hold my head up.
I owe at least a dozen limes.

327
00:21:35,895 --> 00:21:36,929
Limes?

328
00:21:36,996 --> 00:21:38,064
Are limes
the fashion now?

329
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,667
Of course they are.
It's nothing but limes now.

330
00:21:40,733 --> 00:21:43,770
Everyone keeps them in
their desks and trades
them for beads and things.

331
00:21:43,836 --> 00:21:46,038
And all the girls
trade each other at recess.

332
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:49,842
If you don't bring limes
to school, you're nothing.
You might as well be dead.

333
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:52,779
I've had ever so many limes
and I can't pay anyone back.

334
00:21:52,845 --> 00:21:55,882
Well, no wonder you
don't learn anything
at that school!

335
00:21:55,948 --> 00:21:58,751
I know how it feels to do
without any little luxuries.

336
00:21:58,818 --> 00:21:59,852
Meg!

337
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:02,121
But we are not

rag money this month.

Teacher struck me.

352
00:23:34,681 --> 00:23:37,149
He put the limes out
into the snow.

353
00:23:40,987 --> 00:23:44,924
May Chester said my
limes must have been
donated to Hope House.

354
00:23:44,991 --> 00:23:49,061
And then I said that
she wouldn't get
a single lime from me.

355
00:23:49,128 --> 00:23:54,300
And then she told Mr. Davis
they were hidden in my desk,
and then he struck me.

356
00:23:54,366 --> 00:23:57,236
We ought to go over there
and beat the tar out of
him with his own stick!

357
00:23:57,303 --> 00:23:59,639
Jo, we must not
embrace violence.

358
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:02,575
I'll write this man a letter.

359
00:24:02,642 --> 00:24:05,311

That'll show him.

to me they were forbidden.

Amy, I shouldn't
have given it to you.

00:24:12,051 --> 00:24:14,220
I'm sorry!

363
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:17,990
All those lovely limes.
I'm perfectly desolated.

364
00:24:18,057 --> 00:24:19,726
I'm not sorry
you lost them.

365
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,794
It's a frivolous concern
in times like these.

366
00:24:21,861 --> 00:24:24,230
You are more intent
upon reshaping
your dear little nose

367
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:26,766
than in fashioning
your character.

Mr. Davis said it was as
useful to educate a woman
as to educate a female cat.

Mr. Davis!

to the lions of injustice.

00:44:16,521 --> 00:44:17,622
Hmm?

679
00:44:27,665 --> 00:44:31,136

resounded with song
of the nightingale."

them now.

683

And keep the music.
I won't be going near
a piano for ages.

684
00:44:56,661 --> 00:45:00,498
You need your
books in college.
Here's your Dombey and Sons.

685
00:45:00,565 --> 00:45:02,367
I could've sworn
there was another volume.

686
00:45:02,433 --> 00:45:03,701
Honestly, Jo.

687
00:45:03,769 --> 00:45:07,072
I won't be taking
all of Dickens
to Harvard with me.

688
00:45:07,138 --> 00:45:10,275
Oh, no.
You'll have much more
important things to read.

689
00:45:13,478 --> 00:45:15,680
Nothing's going
to change, Jo.

690
00:45:16,815 --> 00:45:18,483
I wish I could go.

691
00:45:20,285 --> 00:45:23,088
I wish you could too.

692
00:45:23,154 --> 00:45:26,024
You'll come back knowing
all sorts of things
I don't know,

693

695
00:45:30,996 --> 00:45:33,698
Well, as it happens,

696
00:45:33,765 --> 00:45:37,135
I already know something
you don't know.

697
00:45:37,202 --> 00:45:42,107
About Meg,
and a certain former
tutor of mine,

698
00:45:42,173 --> 00:45:45,443
soon to be employed
at the firm of
Laurence and Laurence.

699
00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:47,178
Liar.

700
00:45:47,245 --> 00:45:51,416
Has Meg mislaid a certain
personal article

701
00:45:51,482 --> 00:45:52,683
such as

702
00:45:53,651 --> 00:45:54,886
a glove?

703
00:45:59,390 --> 00:46:02,693
Meg, John Brooke
stole your glove!

704
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,130
What glove?
Not my white one?

705
00:46:05,196 --> 00:46:08,566
Brooke's had it forever.
Laurie says he
keeps it in his pocket.

706
00:46:08,633 --> 00:46:12,237
You must tell him to return
it. Hannah, don't you think
he ought to give it back?

707
00:46:12,303 --> 00:46:14,840
Tisn't what I think
that matters.

708
00:46:14,906 --> 00:46:16,507
MARMEE: Jo? Meg?

709
00:46:19,077 --> 00:46:21,379
It's a telegram

710
00:46:21,446 --> 00:46:23,882
from Washington hospital.

711
00:46:23,949 --> 00:46:25,583
Your father's been wounded.

712
00:46:33,458 --> 00:46:35,260
Come on, Amy.
That's it.
There are six.

713
00:46:35,326 --> 00:46:38,096
The household account is
in this ledger. It should
see you through the month.

714
00:46:38,163 --> 00:46:39,564
Of course.
Don't worry about us.

715
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:40,798
Oh, Beth?

716
00:46:40,866 --> 00:46:42,333
Dear, look in on the
Hummels for me, will you?

717
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,402
I will, Marmee.

718
00:46:44,469 --> 00:46:46,804
Where's Jo?
It's almost 6:00.

719
00:46:46,872 --> 00:46:49,440
Doing battle with Aunt March
for Marmee's railway ticket.

720
00:46:49,507 --> 00:46:52,110
MARMEE: Carry a letter
to Mrs. Juba at
the Hope House.

721
00:46:52,177 --> 00:46:54,846
John!
Mr. Brooke.

722
00:46:54,913 --> 00:46:57,883
I've come to offer myself
as an escort to your mother.

723
00:46:57,949 --> 00:47:01,419
Cook packed this up and
grandfather sends a bottle
of spirits for Mr. March.

724
00:47:01,486 --> 00:47:03,821
Oh, that's lovely.
Thank you.

00:47:03,889 --> 00:47:05,223
Marmee?

726
00:47:05,290 --> 00:47:06,624
Mr. Brooke is here.
Mrs. March.

727
00:47:06,691 --> 00:47:07,859
Mr. Brooke.

728
00:47:07,926 --> 00:47:09,827
As young Laurence
no longer requires a tutor,

729
00:47:09,895 --> 00:47:12,297
Mr. Laurence has commissions
for me in Washington.

730
00:47:12,363 --> 00:47:14,599
I should like to be
of service to you there.

731
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,101
We couldn't let you
travel alone.

732
00:47:16,167 --> 00:47:17,969
Mr. Brooke,
how kind of you.

733
00:47:18,036 --> 00:47:19,204
May I?
Thank you.

734
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:20,671
Are we to go
on the 6:00 train?

735
00:47:20,738 --> 00:47:22,673
Yes, I sent Jo off,
but she hasn't...

736
00:47:22,740 --> 00:47:23,741
I'm here!

737
00:47:23,808 --> 00:47:25,810
Jo, finally.

738
00:47:25,877 --> 00:47:28,179
$25?
Can Aunt March spare this?

739
00:47:29,347 --> 00:47:31,749
I couldn't bear
to ask her.

740
00:47:31,816 --> 00:47:33,919
I sold my hair.

741
00:47:33,985 --> 00:47:35,786
Jo, how could you?

742
00:47:35,853 --> 00:47:37,455
Your one beauty.

743
00:47:37,522 --> 00:47:39,790
It isn't going to affect
the state of the union.

744
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:41,226
It'll grow back.

745
00:47:41,292 --> 00:47:42,593
It suits you.

746
00:47:42,660 --> 00:47:45,931
Tell father
that we love him.

747
00:47:45,997 --> 00:47:48,433
Tell him we pray for him.
Bring him home.

748
00:47:48,499 --> 00:47:50,535
I'll never forget
his kindness.

749
00:47:50,601 --> 00:47:52,370
Hannah, thank you.

750
00:47:56,841 --> 00:47:59,210

We'll eat them
anyway.

There's no more
cornmeal nor coffee.

761
00:49:02,873 --> 00:49:06,344
The grocer won't let us
have any more on account.

there last week.

01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:37,427
Oh, Teddy, I'm not
fashionable enough
for London.

1019
01:06:37,494 --> 01:06:40,064
You need someone
who's elegant and
refined.

1020
01:06:40,130 --> 01:06:42,399
I want you.

1021
01:06:47,171 --> 01:06:49,206
Teddy,
please don't ask me.

1022
01:06:56,913 --> 01:06:59,483
Teddy, I'm
desperately sorry.
No, don't.

1023
01:06:59,549 --> 01:07:01,751
I do care for you.
No.

1024
01:07:01,818 --> 01:07:04,888
With all of my heart.
You're my dearest friend.

1025
01:07:06,523 --> 01:07:08,558
I just can't
go be a wife.

but... You will.

1027

I won't! I won't.
One day...

1028
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,939
You'll meet some man.

1029
01:07:23,473 --> 01:07:25,209
A good man.

1030
01:07:25,275 --> 01:07:27,711
And you will love
him tremendously.

1031
01:07:30,380 --> 01:07:34,118
And you will live
and die for him.

1032
01:07:34,184 --> 01:07:36,153

You will!

Laurie.

1039

Well, I'm sure she
can take it back.

1040
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:25,735

a misunderstanding.

1041

That's ideal!
I'll put up
with anything to go!

has asked me to go.

just today.

Well, I am
her companion now.

1056
01:09:19,789 --> 01:09:22,559
She wishes me
to study painting abroad,

1057
01:09:22,626 --> 01:09:25,161
and hopes I might make
a good match there.

1058

Oh.

1059
01:09:29,098 --> 01:09:32,802
But perhaps she
wouldn't mind if you
stayed at Plumfield.

While we are gone.

1061
01:09:42,111 --> 01:09:46,216
Of course Aunt March
prefers Amy over me.
Why shouldn't she?

1062
01:09:46,283 --> 01:09:50,053
I'm ugly and awkward,
and I always say
the wrong things.

good marriage proposals.

Can't think of it.

1525
01:51:09,596 --> 01:51:10,698
Hannah!

1526
01:51:10,765 --> 01:51:12,566
Oh, fox or bear
or such.

1527
01:51:12,633 --> 01:51:14,368
Bhaer!
Did you ask
him to wait?

1528
01:51:14,435 --> 01:51:19,040
I thought he was one of
Miss Amy's European friends
coming with a wedding gift.

1529
01:51:19,106 --> 01:51:23,210
I said, "Miss March
and Mr. Laurie are
living next door."

1530
01:51:23,277 --> 01:51:26,814
Hannah, you didn't!
And he said
he had a train to catch.

1531
01:51:42,629 --> 01:51:43,998
Friedrich!

1532
01:51:51,605 --> 01:51:53,207
(THUNDER CRACKING)

1533
01:51:57,879 --> 01:52:00,414
Oh, Friedrich,
thank you for my book.

1534
01:52:03,818 --> 01:52:07,789
Well, when I didn't
hear from you,
I thought you hated it.

1535
01:52:07,855 --> 01:52:12,293
Oh, no. no.
Reading your book
was like...

1536
01:52:12,359 --> 01:52:14,495
Opening a window
into your heart.

1537
01:52:14,561 --> 01:52:19,466
James Fields took it out
of my hands, and he would
not give it back to me.

1538
01:52:19,533 --> 01:52:22,636
I said,
"Such news I have
to give to her myself."

1539
01:52:24,038 --> 01:52:27,341
Well, it was...
It was a silly impulse.

1540
01:52:27,408 --> 01:52:30,177
No, no.
Not silly at all.

1541
01:52:32,346 --> 01:52:35,416
It's so good to see you.
Come and meet my family.

1542
01:52:35,482 --> 01:52:38,019
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
No, I...

1543
01:52:38,085 --> 01:52:40,187
Thank you, but, uh...

1544
01:52:40,254 --> 01:52:42,223
I have to catch a train.

1545
01:52:43,390 --> 01:52:46,160
I... I'm going
to the West.

1546
01:52:46,227 --> 01:52:49,130
My ship leaves
from Boston
tomorrow morning.

1547
01:52:50,131 --> 01:52:51,198
Oh.

1548
01:52:51,265 --> 01:52:55,069
Yes. The, uh, schools
in the west are young.

1549
01:52:55,136 --> 01:52:58,272
They need professors,
and, uh,

1550
01:52:58,339 --> 01:53:01,943
they're not so concerned
about the accent.

1551
01:53:04,678 --> 01:53:06,580
I don't mind it either.

1552
01:53:09,150 --> 01:53:12,486
You see, my, my aunt
left me Plumfield.

1553
01:53:12,553 --> 01:53:16,790
It isn't a field.
It's a house, actually.
A rather large house.

1554
01:53:16,858 --> 01:53:20,494
And it isn't really good
for anything except a school.

1555
01:53:20,561 --> 01:53:22,229
And I want
a good school,

1556
01:53:22,296 --> 01:53:25,332
one that would be open to
anyone who wanted to learn.

1557
01:53:25,399 --> 01:53:30,737
Well, I'll be
needing someone who
knows how to teach.

1558
01:53:32,573 --> 01:53:35,176
Is there nothing
I might say to
keep you here?

1559
01:53:35,242 --> 01:53:38,112
I confess that...

1560
01:53:38,179 --> 01:53:41,983
I was hoping that I might
have a reason to stay,

1561
01:53:42,049 --> 01:53:47,288
but congratulations
on the celebration
of your marriage.

1562
01:53:47,354 --> 01:53:52,226
Oh, no! No!
No, that's...
That's Amy.

1563
01:53:52,293 --> 01:53:55,129
She's my sister Amy,
and Laurie, actually.

1564
01:53:55,196 --> 01:53:57,498
No, I'm...
I'm not married.

1565
01:54:01,102 --> 01:54:03,204
Please don't go
so far away.

1566
01:54:05,372 --> 01:54:07,541
Jo.

1567
01:54:07,608 --> 01:54:11,812
Such a little name for...
Such a person.

1568
01:54:15,749 --> 01:54:17,384
Will you have me?

1569
01:54:18,986 --> 01:54:20,787
With all of my heart.

1570
01:54:25,326 --> 01:54:28,129
But I have nothing
to give you.
My hands are empty.

1571
01:54:31,665 --> 01:54:33,100
Not empty now.
