02x11 - Three Angry Women

[bunniefuu]

Nick: is amy really gonna need all this stuff?

I thought the girls were only goin' to boston for one night.

Laurie: oh, they are. But amy always likes to look her best.

Amy, come on!

Amy: I'm just fixing my hair.

I want to be in boston by : so we have time

To check into the hotel before we go to theatre.

We have plenty of time, jo. Don't worry.

I'm just so excited.

It's been so long since we've done any- thing fun together.

I know. I've been looking forward to this for weeks.

Two whole days together. Just us three sisters.

It's only going to be two sisters if amy doesn't hurry up!

Amy: I'm coming, I'm coming.

Well, are we ready to go?

We don't want to be late.

Are you ladies sure you don't want a dashing,

Charming, handsome escort to accompany you to the theatre tonight?

Well, laurie, where on earth would we find someone like that

On such short notice?

[ Chuckle ]

Goodbye. [ Giggle ]

Jo: we'll be back tomorrow afternoon.

Have a good time.

Jo: we will, don't worry.

[ Cawing of crow ]

Dan: huh, and, uh, how 'bout some cheese?

Yeah, good. Good idea.

And some ham. Yeah.

And now some pickled beets. Give it some color.

Good idea.

That should be good. Yeah.

Hmm... Wait.

Uh, I was eating that fudge.

Now it's ready.

Bess: oh, what is that?

It's a bait ball.

We're goin' after big charlie.

And he don't like worms.

Who's big charlie?

It's the biggest catfish we ever seen.

Me and nat been tryin' to catch him for three months.

We tried all kinds of different baits we could think of, but...

Today, we're gonna try somethin' a little different.

A little bit of everything.

Nat: we wanna surprise mrs. Jo when she gets back.

Do you really think that's gonna work?

Big charlie didn't get that big by bei'' stupid, you know.

Oh, and, uh, nan, you think that bug's gonna work?

I'm not usin' it for bait, dan.

It's a violet ground beetle.

I'm addin' it to my insect collection.

Bess: nan, don't you have enough bugs already?

You can never have too many bugs.

Oh, of course. I forgot.

[ ♪♪ ]

[ Gasp ]

Hey, dan!

Dan, i... Here.

I think it's him.

[ ♪♪ ]

Well, that should be enough vegetables.

You better cut up a few more.

Jo and her sisters will probably be starvin'

By the time they get home.

Nat: hey, asia!

Asia: well, look at the size of that fish!

Hey, is that big charlie?

Yeah, we finally caught him.

Yeah. Put up a good fight too.

It took the both of us to reel him in.

Nick: good job, boys.

Now I know what we're havin' for thanksgivin' dinner.

Father, what are you doing here?

Laurie: I was looking for your mother.

They're not back yet, nick?

Uh, I thought maybe they stopped for a while at your place.

Laurie: well no, I haven't seen them.

I mean, they were supposed to be back hours ago.

[ ♪♪ ]

They're probably havin' so much fun in boston,

They lost track of time.

I'm sure you're right.

I bet they're on their way home right now.

Probably pass 'em on the road.

Is that their carriage?

Looks like it.

Whoa.

That's amy's.

Where are they?

Straps ain't broken.

Looks to me like someone unbuckled them.

Why?

Laurie: [ calling ] amy! Meg!

Jo!

Jo!

Amy!

What is it?

The trail's gone.

Gone?

They might have backtracked or...

Or maybe they followed the stream.

Hard to tell in the dark.

Well, we have to head back to concord and get the sheriff.

We need to organize a search party immediately.

Yeah. It's gonna be light soon.

Amy!

Oh, thank god.

Are you all right?

[ Sobbing ] just take me home.

What happened to you?

We've been wandering around the woods for two days.

Thanks to jo's shortcut.

Oh, amy, don't start with me.

I said I'd get us back to the road,

And I did. Amy: yes.

After two days. Some shortcut.

Jo: well, if we didn't have to stop

And wait for you every five seconds, amy,

It wouldn't have taken us so long.

I hurt my ankle, jo.

Yes, running away from your imaginary bear.

Shut up, meg.

Nick: ladies, ladies.

Now start at the beginning.

What happened to your horse?

Some crazy woman stole him.

Jo: yes, meg's little friend.

She wasn't my friend, jo.

She was just...

Well, someone who needed a ride.

♪ She'll be coming 'round the mountain ♪

♪ She'll be coming 'round the mountain ♪

♪ When she comes toot, toot!

Come on, sing with me.

Stop asking, meg. I don't want to sing.

Jo, stop the buggy.

Meg: there's someone on the road.

Jo: I don't have time to stop.

Jo, please. Just for a minute.

Jo: [ sigh ] all right.

Whoa.

Excuse me,

Are you all right?

Oh, yes.

Thank you for asking. I'm fine.

Are you going to boston, miss...?

Burns. Sadie burns.

I'm going to see my mother who's gravely ill.

The doctors say she'll be lucky if she makes it through the night. So...

I'm making my way to boston

To tell her that I love her and...

To say goodbye.

How tragic.

We're heading to boston ourselves.

Please, let us give you a ride.

Sadie: I'm all right.

I don't mean to impose. I...

I only have another miles to go.

Well then,

You must be on your way.

Jo: we wouldn't want to hold you up.

Meg: jo, we can't let her walk all the way to boston.

Meg, we are not giving this woman a ride.

Why not? Because I don't like her.

Well, what's wrong with her?

I just don't like her.

And what I say is all that matters.

I don't care what anyone else wants.

I did not say that.

Well, that's what you were thinking.

I didn't want to pick up that woman because she was dangerous.

I could see that from the moment we laid eyes on her.

Nice horse you got there.

Thanks.

We're on our way to boston.

Are you heading there too?

That's right. Boston.

Meg: well, hop in. We'll give you a ride!

[ Whispering ] meg, I don't know about this woman.

What's wrong with her?

Look at her.

Jo: she looks dangerous.

Meg: oh, jo.

We're goin' or what? I ain't gettin' any younger back here.

[ Chuckle ]

Giddup!

Later, amy said she was starving.

So we stopped for a picnic.

Sadie: [ sniff ]

Mmm! It's good, hmm?

[ Burping ]

[ Clears throat ]

Oh my, you must have been hungry.

I wanted some chicken.

Got some whiskey there?

No.

No? No.

[ Chirping of birds ]

I left mine in the wagon.

Guess I better go get some.

Jo: I'm telling you, meg. This woman is trouble.

She ate the whole chicken!

Oh, jo, quit being so negative.

Amy: I didn't get any of it!

I think we should just forget about this picnic,

And just keep driving.

Amy: not a wing, not a drumstick,

Nothing!

Cookie?

Jo: [ narrating ] sadie was taking a long time,

So I thought I'd better go and check on her.

Hey! Stop!

You're not taking my horse!

And who's gonna stop me?

I am!

[ Grunts of struggle ]

[ Yell of effort ]

Oh, please!

You did not get into a fight with that woman.

[ Whinnying of horse ]

Amy: [ narrating ] she was already riding away

By the time we got there.

Wait! Come back!

[ Whinnying of horse ]

[ Sigh ]

This is all your fault!

So, then with the horse gone,

We were stuck out there in the middle of nowhere.

I wanted to wait for another wagon to come along,

But jo got impatient, and said...

Well, I'm walking home.

I know a shortcut through the woods.

Jo, I really think we should stay on the road.

I'm sure some- one's bound to come along.

I'm sick of waiting!

Well, I'm doing whatever jo's doing.

I never said that!

I just didn't want her wandering off in the woods alone.

Jo: oh, I see.

So you were doing me a favor, is that it?

Well, what was I supposed to do, jo?

Let you go traipsing off in the woods all by yourself?

W-w-why don't we discuss the details a little later.

Fine. Let's go home.

[ Sigh ] good idea.

Well, finally. Something we all agree on.

[ ♪♪ ]

Nan: mrs. Jo, are you all right?

Tommy: where's her dress?

Mother, what happened to you?

Amy: it's a long story.

Ow! Careful.

Bess: what did you do to your arm?

How did that happen, amy?

I fell when I was running.

Jo: from her imaginary bear.

Amy: it was a real bear, jo.

You got chased by a bear?

There was no bear.

And because of amy, we lost the only food that we had.

[ Shrieks of glee ]

Look what I caught!

Amy: there's a bear! Run for your lives!

[ Shrieks of panic ]

[ Panting ]

Ooh!

Jo: [ narrating ] there was no bear!

I'm telling you it was real.

[ Sigh ]

I was picking berries,

And that's when I heard it.

[ Low growl ]

Jo?...

Meg?...

[ Menacing growl ]

[ Growling ]

[ Screaming ]

Look what I caught!

Amy: [ screaming ]

Bear! Run!

Meg/jo: [ screaming ]

For the last time, amy, there was no bear!

It was all in your head.

Amy: I don't have to stand here and listen to this.

Fine. Then leave.

Both of you.

Fine by me.

Amy: laurie, take me home.

Nick, would you be so kind as to give me a ride home?

Sure.

[ ♪♪ ]

Thanks for puttin' up those shelves for me.

My insect collection's gonna look great.

Maybe now you can keep those disgusting creatures

On your side of the room.

Did you see how mad mrs. Jo was at her sisters today?

Bess: I know.

I couldn't believe how rude she was to my mother.

Nan: well, she's got a right to be.

Bein' stuck out in the woods for two days with your mother?

Well, aunt jo isn't exactly the easiest person

To get along with either.

She's constantly bossing us all around.

Look who's talkin'.

Lay off, nan.

Hey, she was just standin' up for mrs. Jo.

Bess is just stickin' up for her mother.

Is everything all right in here?

Everything's fine.

Bess, the lamps in the parlor are almost empty.

Isn't it your job to refill them this week?

[ Sigh ] I'll get right to it.

[ ♪♪ ]

Oh, asia, if you have some time,

I'd like to start looking through this recipe book

And planning thanksgiving dinner with you.

All right, but...

Don't you want to discuss it with your sisters?

Oh, I think it'll be just you and I planning dinner this year.

Jo...

How long are you gonna let this go on?

It's been four days and you haven't said not one word to your sisters.

I don't understand.

What happened out there in those woods

To make you so angry with them?

Well, it was one ordeal after another.

I was doing everything I could to make the best of things,

But amy and meg were no help at all.

Jo, slow down.

Because I'm tired and my feet hurt.

It isn't much further, amy.

It's a beautiful day to be lost in the woods.

We aren't lost, meg.

I know exactly where we are. No, you don't.

We've been walk- ing around for hours and hours,

And I'm stopping right here. [ Sigh ]

I'm doing whatever amy's doing.

Well then, I guess we'll just camp out here for the night.

Ooh, I am not spending the night in the woods!

Well, amy, you are the one who wanted to stop.

And besides, it's going to be dark soon.

We should probably get some rest and get a fresh start in the morning!

Jo, it's dirty,

And there's bugs!

And it's dirty!

Sit on this.

The ground is too hard.

I'm going to build a fire.

Meg, let's get some firewood.

Meg?

Meg had wandered off so I had to build the fire myself.

Jo, you're not doing it right.

What am I doing wrong?

Amy: I don't know how to build a fire.

I just know you're doing it wrong.

Ooh! Ha! Well...

Now at least we'll keep warm.

[ Crash of thunder ]

Jo, it's raining!

Amy even found a way to blame me for that.

Jo...

You know you would be miserable without your sisters.

Why don't you go and make up with them?

Hmm?

Somebody's got to make the first step.

[ Sigh ]

What are you doing here?

I'm tryin' to look for nan's beetle. It escaped again.

Why ain't she lookin' for it herself?

'Cause she doesn't wanna run into bess.

What are you doin' here?

Bess wanted her hair tonic,

But she didn't wanna have to see nan.

How long do you think bess and nan will be mad at each other.

Till nan learns how to keep her big mouth shut.

What are you talkin' about?

Come on, nat.

She always got an opinion about everythin'.

She's always sayin' exactly what's on her mind,

Even when people don't wanna hear it.

Well, there's nothin' wrong with that.

There is, if it hurts someone's feelings.

Dan: here.

Nan's supposed to keep those things on her side of the room, you know.

She would if bess's stuff didn't clutter up the whole place.

Never seen anyone with more beauty products in my life.

So? She likes to look good.

What's wrong with that?

[ Snort ] come on, dan.

The only reason you're stickin' up for her

Is 'cause you're sweet on her.

We both know that.

[ ♪♪ ] [ Chirping of birds ]

[ ♪♪ ]

Jo.

Laurie, hello.

Hi.

Is amy here? No.

She's in town, but she'll be back soon.

She'll be happy to see you.

Well, I think this thing has gone on long enough.

Well, I'm glad to hear you say that, jo.

Because I know amy feels the same way, and...

Well, she's ready to forgive you

And put this all behind her. I'm sorry.

Forgive me for what?

Well... For getting all of you lost in the woods.

Oh. Well, if it weren't for amy,

We wouldn't have had to go into the woods at all.

She cost us our only ride back to concord.

What are you talking about?

Amy told me that she wanted to wait for the ride,

Then you got impatient and marched off into the woods.

We did wait for a ride.

Finally, one came along.

And amy took one look at the wagon

And just refused to get in.

I'm not getting into that wagon with those animals.

Jo: for heaven's sakes, amy. It's just three little pigs.

And they're fenced off.

There's plenty of room in here for us.

No!

Look how cute they are!

You're so cute, yes you are.

[ Squeal of pig ] amy, get in.

I'm not getting into that wagon.

Amy...

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!

Amy: I did not

Have a tantrum!

Yes, you did!

No, I didn't!

And they were not three little pigs.

[ Grunting ]

Jo: well, hop in, amy.

There's plenty of room.

Look how cute they are!

Maybe we should wait for another wagon.

What's wrong with this one?

Oh, amy, it wasn't that bad.

Yes, it was.

I had a very good reason not to get into that wagon.

So, none of us got into the wagon.

Nope.

We waited and waited and waited

For another ride to come along.

And after several hours,

I thought that the best thing for us to do

Was to take a shortcut through the woods.

But did you ask us what we wanted to do?

Of course not.

You never do.

Nat, wanna go fishin' after church today?

I guess.

Dan, wanna come?

No.

What's his problem?

He obviously doesn't want to spend time with either of you.

And I can't blame him for that.

[ Snort ] nat, will you please tell bess

That I'm not interested in hearin' anythin' she has to say.

Well, nat, would you please tell nan

That I wouldn't waste my breath talking to her anyway.

Tell bess that I don't... You know what?

Tell her yourself.

I'm sick of both of you.

[ Sigh ]

[ Mixed chatter ]

I need to speak with you.

What do you want?

Just come with me.

Woman: well, that's a lovely idea.

I think the three of us need to talk.

Unless the two of you have come to apologize,

I have nothing to say to you.

Oh! Here we go again.

It's always us who needs to apologize to you.

Nothing's ever your fault, is it, jo?

[ Sigh ] it must be nice to be so perfect.

If anyone thinks they're perfect, amy, it's you.

Ladies, please...

Jo: if you'd spent half as much time

Fashioning your character

As you do styling your hair,

You might actually be an interesting person.

Meg: let's not argue, please.

I know we've had our differences in the past,

But we've always managed to get through them.

I know that we can do it again.

Meg, take off the rose-colored glasses for once in your life.

What? You're so naive about everything.

That woman on the street, for example.

She was nothing but trouble, but you couldn't see it.

You just had to pick her up.

You two always have to find someone to blame, don't you?

Whenever something goes wrong,

All you do is fight like children

And I'm the one that gets caught in the middle.

Well, I am tired of waiting

For you two to grow up!

[ ♪♪ ]

Oh!

I came over to spend some time with, uh, bess.

Where's amy?

[ Sigh ] well, she's refusing to set foot inside plumfield.

Hello, sweetheart.

Father. Ah!

I thought you could teach me how to play chess today.

Jo: oh, chess! I love chess.

Your father and I used to play all the time when we were children.

[ Chuckle ] oh!

On second thought, I'd rather...

We go for a walk.

Come on, let's go.

Well, I'll be along in a moment.

I just want to speak to your aunt jo.

Bess; all right.

Jo, I'm sorry.

I'm not surprised that she's angry with me.

I would expect her to stand up for her mother.

I'll try and talk to her.

But I really think the best way to settle this

Is for you and amy to resolve your differences.

It's not that simple, laurie.

You heard us outside the church.

We said some terrible things to each other.

That was just your anger speaking.

It wasn't just anger.

For the first time, we all said what we really thought of each other,

How we really see each other.

We were malicious and hurtful.

I don't know if we'll ever get past that.

[ Chirping of birds ]

What kind of bait you usin'?

Worms.

Do you think there's another big charlie in here?

I don't know.

Maybe.

He was pretty big, huh?

Yeah.

I thought he was gonna pull the pole right out of your hands.

I had a good hold on him.

Come on, nat.

You know full well if I hadn't jumped in there when I did,

You would've lost him for sure.

I didn't ask for your help.

Well, you needed it. No, I didn't.

Dan, you're always tryin' to act like the hero,

Whether people need your help or not.

Listen, I saved your hide a good number of times back in boston.

Never heard you complain about it then.

Because you wouldn't let me.

I'm sick of you always tryin' to help me.

Fine.

See if I ever help you again.

[ ♪♪ ]

[ ♪♪ ]

Nan, I have told you a million times

To keep these disgusting creatures

Away from me!

What are you doin'?

Keep them on your side of the room.

Bess, how could you?

[ Sigh of exasperation ]

...you'll remind me of that?

Hey, demi and daisy are here.

Daisy: hi, rob...

Demi, daisy, time to go.

How come they don't come over and play with me anymore?

Well, aunt meg has been very busy, honey.

Come on over here and help me with this list.

There you go. Hey, meg!

You see jo inside?

Yes, I did.

Meg.

The three of you can't keep goin' like this.

Thanksgivin's comin' up.

Now you're always the one who settles things between your sisters.

Can't you try to talk to 'em?

I did.

I tried outside the church,

In the cabin, in the woods...

Wait, wait. What cabin?

The one that we found when we were in the woods,

Following another one of jo's shortcuts.

It's got to be this way. I know it is.

I'm always right.

My dress is ruined.

Oh, amy, I'm sure you'll buy another one.

Jo: look!

It's a cabin!

Meg: someone must live there.

Amy: if someone lives there, they must have food!

Hurry up!

Ow!

Hurry up! Come on.

Let's knock on the door, maybe they'll be will- ing to help us.

No, no one home.

Well let's wait out here, I'm sure they'll be back soon.

Something's cooking. [ Sniff ]

Smells like beef stew.

[ Groan of effort ] meg: jo, what are...

Beef stew with rosemary and tarragon.

Jo, what are you doing?

[ Panting ]

It's an old door.

I've got to be able to break it down.

[ Groan ] jo,

We can't break into somebody's home.

Hurry, jo, I'm starving!

[ Yell of effort ]

[ Yelling ]

[ Gasp of surprise ]

It is stew!

Amy, jo, we don't have permission to be in here.

Blah, blah, blah.

Meg: don't sh**t.

You!

You!

So, the woman who stole your horse

Was the one who owned the cabin?

Well, she didn't exactly own it.

I found this place first. Now... Now you get out!

Where's my horse?

I said, "get out!&Quot; no.

Do you think you're so tough because you have that r*fle?

Well you're nothing but a coward. Jo...

You better watch your mouth.

Amy: um, excuse me, miss?

I just wanted to say

That she doesn't speak for the rest of us.

I personally don't think you're...

A coward at all.

People like you make me sick!

I said shut up, or I'm gonna...

You're going to what?

You're going to sh**t me?

Go right ahead. I dare you!

Jo: nick?

Could you please help me with these boxes?

I'll be right there.

Meg: well, let's just say

If it wasn't for me, jo would have gotten us all k*lled.

Need any help, nat?

Dan: no.

Nat doesn't need help with anything. Do you, nat?

Bess: [ scream ]

Nan, I'm going to k*ll you!

No! Bess! Give it back!

[ Shouts of struggle ]

Dan: hey!

[ Yells of struggle ]

What's goin' on, here? Stop it!

Dan: bess. Bess! Stop it!

She threw my entire insect collection out the window.

Well, look what you did to may hair!

She put something in my tonic.

Well, do you know how long it took me to collect those bugs?

They're just bugs, nan.

You can collect more.

But dyein' bess's hair green,

That's goi'' too far.

It's just chlorinated lime, dan.

It'll wash out.

Those bugs were important to me.

Well, I'm glad bess threw 'em out.

Maybe that'll teach you to think next time

Before you go pullin' another one of your stupid pranks.

Nat: don't talk to nan like that.

Stay out of this, nat. No!

You're always tryin' to act like you're above us or somethin'.

Tryin' to tell us what to do. Well, you're not the boss!

Yeah. Well at least I try and solve problems myself

Instead of runnin' to mrs. Jo all the time.

Yeah, you're such a goody, nat.

Stay out of it, emil.

At least I follow the rules.

I'm not always tryin' to prove what a big man I am.

I'm not the one...

Who's gotta prove anythin',

It's time we put an end to all of this fighting between us.

It's starting to affect everyone around us,

Including the children.

We can't let it go on any longer.

All right.

Fine.

We can talk in the park.

It'll be a little more private there.

Hey...

What?

This is my horse.

Well, if this is your horse,

Where's the woman who stole him?

Amy: oh, my god!

She's robbing the store!

What are we going to do?

If you could throw in some of that licorice too,

I sure would appreciate it.

Ah. It's been a pleasure doin' business with you.

Y'all have a good day, now.

[ Yelps of triumph ]

[ Grunts of struggle ]

What are you doing?

I'm trying to knock her out.

With a cabbage?

Jo: go and get the sheriff.

They gave me the horse.

Oh, that's right. We gave you our horse

Because we didn't really want to spend two wonderful days in boston.

No, we would much rather spend the time

Wandering around in the woods, with nothing to eat,

Sleeping out in the rain, being chased by a bear.

Oh, here we go with the bear again.

Amy: I know what I saw...

So she did steal the horse? Wait, wait, wait.

How come you were sleepin' out in the rain?

I thought you found a cabin.

Jo: we didn't find the cabin until the second day.

We spent the first night out in the woods.

Yes, out in the rain.

Not the entire night.

[ Sneezing ]

It's so cold!

I know, but what are we supposed to do?

Well, we can't stand out here all night in the rain

Or we're going to catch our death of cold.

We could build a shelter.

Jo: a shelter?

With what?

With our clothes.

I'll use my dress as a tarp.

Jo, we can spread your dress on the ground and lie on it.

Meg, we can use your dress as a blanket to keep warm.

Oh, amy, I don't know if this is going to work.

Of course it'll work.

I saw it in a play: "the tempest".

When they get shipwrecked on prospero's island,

They built a shelter with all the things that they had.

What are we supposed to hold it up with?

With these.

So once we built the shelter,

We were finally able to get some sleep.

Excuse me, ladies,

Where was miss burns during all this?

Well, she was already gone by that point.

Then what does any of this have to do with her stealing your horse?

Jo: well, she didn't just steal our horse.

She held us at gunpoint in the cabin.

Look, you were trespassing.

It wasn't your cabin to begin with,

And besides the door was open.

[ Snort ] after you broke it down.

I didn't break it down, meg.

I just turned the doorknob.

I told you not to go in there, but you never listen to me.

Sheriff: can we just stick to the matter at hand?

Now tell me what happened when you were at the cabin.

Well, we were walking through the woods...

Sheriff,

If you wanna hear the truth,

You're not gonna get it out of these three.

I'll tell you what really happened.

[ Humming ]

Jo/meg/amy: [ grunting/snorting ]

Oh, hello.

All: get her!

[ Yelling ] oh, dear!

Jo/meg/amy: get her!

Both: what?

Jo: that isn't the truth at all!

Sheriff: now stop.

Now either you tell me the truth,

Or I'll put all of you in jail.

All right.

We were sitting there, having stew,

When that woman walked in and pulled a g*n on us.

Don't sh**t.

You.

[ Nasty chuckle ] you.

Please, just let us go.

So you can run straight to the sheriff's office?

I don't think so.

We won't go to the sheriff.

Amy: we promise.

I can't take that chance.

I'm just gonna have to sh**t you.

How could you be so cold?

I think I'm gonna sh**t you first.

No, sadie, please.

Forgive my sister, she's just tired. We all are.

We've been wandering around in the woods for two days,

And we just want to go home.

Keep the horse.

We don't care about that.

Just please, let us go.

We have children waiting for us at home.

Please.

Get out of here.

Sadie: [ yelling ] get out!

I should've sh*t you when I had the chance.

Sheriff: thank you, ladies.

I have enough information to press charges.

You can go now.

So after the cabin, you found your way back to the road?

Well, not right away.

We spent most of the night wandering around in the woods,

Following another one of jo's shortcuts.

Yes, jo kept insisting she knew the way.

She just wouldn't let it go.

Yeah, she can be pretty stubborn.

But, you know, it comes in handy.

I mean, she did get you back to the road, didn't she?

Yes! And meg got you out of that cabin,

And amy kept you out of the rain.

So when you really think about it, all three of you played a part

In getting yourselves through that ordeal.

Let's get the wagons.

Wagons.

Jo: asia, I'm heading into town.

Hello, dan. Dan: mrs. Morris.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were on your way out.

I was on my way to see you and meg actually.

Really?

Come inside. I'll make us some tea.

[ ♪♪ ]

[ ♪♪ ]

What's your mother doin' here?

She's talking to aunt jo.

It looks like they're making up.

Even after all those mean things they said to each other?

They always forgive each other,

No matter how much they fight.

They do fight an awful lot.

They can't help it. They're so different.

Like night and day.

Yeah, and I'm sure it won't be long

Before they're fighting again.

Well, at least we know that they'll always make up.

Yeah.

[ ♪♪ ]

[ ♪♪ ]

Nat?

You wanna go fishin'?

Let's go.

It seems as though all we've been doing these last couple of weeks

Is arguing over what happened in the woods.

But it wasn't until last night

That I realized...

There was something I forgot to say.

I forgot to say "thank you"...

For not giving up on me.

I know I drove you crazy.

And I did complain...

About everything.

But still, not once did you give up on me.

You're my little sister, amy.

It's my job to look after you.

I've always needed looking after, haven't i?

Meg was always the sensible one,

You're the smart one...

Beth, the sweet one...

And I was always the little one...

Trying desperately to be noticed.

I thought...

That if I was...

Pretty...

That I might finally be noticed.

I suppose that's why my looks

Have always been so important to me.

I don't...

I don't really have anything else to offer.

Amy.

That's not true.

You have so many wonderful qualities

That I could only dream of having.

You're graceful...

And you're elegant...

And refined.

And you're good at so many things.

Look at how you organized the town dance.

Ball.

Both: [ giggling ]

I could never have done that.

I'm short-tempered and outspoken,

And I'm stubborn to a fault.

Not stubborn.

Determined.

You know what you want and you're not afraid to go after it.

Oh, I wish I could be more like that.

Meg: so do i.

I can never make a decision.

And even when I do, I'm always turning to you two for help.

Well, it wouldn't hurt me

To be a little more patient...

Like you, meg.

Maybe if I were,

I wouldn't always be getting myself into so much trouble.

We're all hopelessly flawed, aren't we?

All: [ laughing/sniffling ]

But together, we make, uh...

One perfect person.

All: [ laughing ]

Well, maybe not perfect.

Well, I guess we'd better stick together then.
