01x17 - A Walk in His Shoes

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

Once Upon an or my life was a near

tragic State I longed to find a brighter

place somewhere full of love and

grace I dream of fields with a cool

Ocean Breeze a home for my own

family when I got my wish I pinched

myself to make sure this home was

real they sent for a boy but then I was

a girl my dreaming had just let me down

again if I came as a queen with long

eony hair then maybe they feel I was

worth it for them I'm a good worker in

spite of My Talking I've long to belong

here for all of my life don't send me

away without seeing what I see

everything I touch is full of delights

I'll do my best to not let you down I

can imagine world full of joy just give

me your hand and I'll teach you to hope

you'll find that I've something

worthwhile just let me stay here and

I'll love you forever I promise a life

full of

smiles the Mexican charro gallops across

the Sierra

Madre dodging cattle and Tumble weeds o

who are you calling a tumble weed he

closes in on the Wild Horse swirls up

his lassu extra high and wrangles the

stall no oh rat he got away again H oh

Diana I crave excitement who wants to

stand around like cattle the whole

weekend

there's nothing to do you'll get the

next horse it's pretty hard with this

old frayed robe for a last Sue maybe

I'll get a proper rope for my birthday

birthday did somebody say birthday

Gilbert did oh uh

Felix yes did Gilbert say his birthday

is coming up yep it's Saturday is there

a party I haven't heard about no

Gilbert's Too Proud to hold a party

himself but it's his tough luck because

nobody else is doing it for him Diana I

have the perfect idea for a weekend

Adventure what's that we'll throw a

birthday party for Gilbert why and how

ingenious we'll make it a spectacular

event hey Gilbert guess oh wait shh what

don't tell him I have a better idea oh

nothing just that well that's a good

Loop there cowboy

[Music]

thanks whoa what's your plan something

to give us an additional thrill and

Gilbert too we'll make the party a

surprise a surprise oh no don't don't

no please merilla just a few people

will'll do all the work it won't

inconvenience you at all I'm not

thrilled about a dozen children parading

through my parlor it would mean so much

to

Gilbert why insist on making it a

surprise the whole town fibbing up a

Blue Streak just to give poor Gilbert a

dreadful shock it's terrible well not if

it's done out of affection if we keep

Noble AIMS in our hearts he'll be sure

to forgive us I'd love a surprise party

if I could I'd hold one for myself so I

implore you allow me a glimpse of my

life's greatest hope oh all right child

y but mind you don't neglect your

homework or chores oh we won't merilla

thank you let's get to

[Music]

work he'll get the shock of

his oh Felix excuse us but we have

secret plans to attend to we can tell

him him man how else will people know to

come good point uh Felix I hope you can

be trusted to keep a secret you're

having a surprise party for Gilbert well

uh yes it just so happens that we are I

thought so from the way you're acting at

the schoolyard I'm here to help

h i could make invitations and deliver

them or decorate or figure out the food

those are precisely the things Diana and

I want to do and if we can't have fun

what's the point of holding a party he's

my friend

too Felix uh

wait you could Mash apples for cider and

sweep out the ouse mashing sweeping do

you want to help or not girls put

yourself in his shoes would you want

such Grim tasks to be the some extent of

your

involvement well no if he's offering to

help it's only right to give him a task

he'll

enjoy marilla's right I know Felix your

job is to figure out how to get Gilbert

here sure he must show up at Green

Gables promptly at 7:00 the eve of his

birthday and Felix he mustn't under any

circumstances suspect a thing I will not

disappoint

[Music]

you now how do I get Gilbert to Green

Gables on his birthday gosh I hope I

haven't bitten off more than I can chew

no I just have to think if Gilbert

thinks nothing is happening on his

birthday what would he

do Eureka that's it

[Music]

thanks for cooperating Mrs blle you're

the first part of my

plan a perfect menu fun activities and a

thrilling theme all for a party the

likes of which Gilbert blly has never

[Music]

seen I guess I could stay open late

thanks Mr Lawson that way we're sure to

get Gilbert to Green Gables oh Felix I'm

not much good at these things in my day

folks just held plain old birthday

parties no surprises you'll be great

just don't let Gilbert catch on Gilbert

exactly if my mission is successful

we'll get him to yes

yes Gilbert what mission oh uh no no no

no uh magician yes um I I was saying I

wanted playing C so I could learn some

new card

tricks so he was so he was what can I

get for you Gilbert uh let's see my

mother's list um well uh I I got to go

got to practice those tricks you

know he's in a rush well I guess he

doesn't want to be party

t*rd looks like I'll be back H this has

nothing to do with cake I have a feeling

a certain kind of cake will be baked in

my house soon oh cake you don't say

lovely

huh well it's hardly Gilbert's cup of

tea what do you mean those are wonderful

party plans a spectacular menu he

doesn't even like sausage rolls as for

your games Gilbert hates pin the tail on

the donkey and at felicity's party he

thought Apple dunking was a big boore

well well you have to concede that our

theme for the party is excellent yes our

the kns and princesses is a perfect

party theme exactly if your name is an

or Diana oh Felix King we've worked hard

on this party yesen we're not going to

change it

[Music]

now here's your invitation Perry thanks

don't be late I

won't I'm utterly astounded at Felix's

c*ck ideas about the party he

clearly has no idea how to host a

Suare at least I can count on us two to

be of the same

mind now as for a gift I was thinking

Diana that's precisely what I mean I was

thinking about a gift too I have the

perfect idea I only hope it's not too

spense see you Saturday Victoria and

don't breathe a word to gilber come on

Diana or we'll never

[Music]

finish so if you just happen to show up

at Lawson store at A4 to 7 my plan will

work well now it seems a mighty

complicated way to get a fell to show up

somewhere I have to make sure Gilbert

doesn't suspect the thing well that's

fine and dandy but how do you make sure

the boys at Lawson's store in the first

place

well I'll tell

you okay first we and then he's going to

come and then

and well now I

she don't you like it it's nice but

merilla and my mother only gave us a

nickel each to spend we want his present

to be as outstanding as his party don't

we this isn't quite what I had in mind

oh really and what's your idea

well a cheap tin belt buckle that'll

never

do Mrs Hansen you are the key to my plan

are you up to the task mhm I beg you

don't fail in your mission or my goose

is cooked hey

[Music]

Felix hi Gilbert

what's this about a mission Felix oh uh

no uh nutrition we're uh having a uh

Goose for dinner well I'm fetching

things from the

store I'm certain it'll be ingredients

for a

[Music]

cake well you're a cheap skate me you're

a hopeless

spendthrift uh-oh I think it's ugly

well I think he'd like it who'd like

what that I'd like it if if

if if if they left the store right this

instant yes

exactly what can I get for you

today let's see my mother's list today

pickles cool oil and

sardines has any anybody remembered my

birthday you nearly ruined the surprise

you were the one talking a mile a minute

Diana listen we can't let the pressure

of this get to us yes well I'm starting

to wonder if this party is worth the

trouble Diana wait oh dear why can't the

two of us see eye to eye what a woeful

day you said it

[Music]

I tell you all I've been sorely

misunderstood Diana's the stubborn one

not

me well I know what it's like to be

deemed a stubborn old horse Sor mayor

you're the gentlest nicest horse in aan

Lee I wasn't always so good-tempered

really I can't believe it hop on and

I'll tell you the tale What stopped you

from being stubborn only the kindness of

my new owner Matthew how what can I say

the man understands me there was a time

before I came to Green cables when I

wasn't understood at all do tell oh it's

a sorry tale for example every day my

previous owners would lead me down an

awful Rocky path all because they

preferred The

View h

and what a view it

[Music]

is every day they go the same route and

every day I'm miserable what scope for

the imagination I'm sure I'd be quite

inspired by a daily dose of this Vista

if only the owners considered how I

might feel you might wish that but how

can anybody know what another feels why

put yourself in my shoes your shoes yes

my horse shoes your horse

shoes you are

heavy a yes now that I'm not worried

about dragging that infernal Carriage I

can see it really is a lovely view who

cares about the view my feet are k*lling

me your feet now why would that

be my tender toes are being

tortured can't we take an inland

Road that's precisely the question I

used to ask myself why couldn't they see

how it would be for me yes why can't

they put put themselves in my

shoes that was too much so you get the

idea Sor May you've shown me a very

important lesson and what's that there

is Great Value in using my imagination

to put myself in another person's place

if you did that you might understand

Diana's point of

view exactly I'd better go make a men

right now thanks for the ride thanks for

[Music]

yours it's up to me to settle this

dispute with Diana I'll try the Soro

May's idea imagine being in Diana's

Shoes Diana's shoes and clothes oh dare

I hope that my hair isn't red

oh well still all these luxurious puff

sleeved dresses being in Diana's Shoes

is fun but to matters at hand our

argument started over Gilbert's gift why

does Diana feel the way she does

H she thought it was too

[Music]

expensive why Diana doesn't have enough

money h

that's right she spent her savings on a

parasol for her

mother Diana wasn't being stingy at all

she just didn't have the money I wish

I'd thought of that at the

time now is my chance to repair the

damage Mrs Barry I besee you give me

entrance into your home I must beg

forgiveness of your daughter

[Music]

Diana I implore your forgiveness I now

respect your wish not to spend so much

money on Gilbert's

gift apology accepted but it's still

doesn't solve our problem of what to

give him I've got a new idea we make a

gift a perfect solution but what well

what would Gilbert like

[Music]

he's fascinated by ranching the Sierra

Madre Mexican chos

Mexico

Mexico a pinata that's

it pinata is a great idea an Gilbert

sure to love it your idea to give the

party a Mexican theme was pure

inspiration now what do we put inside

this horse well what Trinkets and treats

are Gilbert's

[Music]

favorites there that should work

[Music]

perfectly welcome welcome right this way

senoras and Senoritas I must say you've

outdone yourself an Gilbert sure to like

his party speaking of Gilbert how's he

getting to Green Gables

anyway uh he should be here

[Music]

soon this is the worst birthday of my

life even my parents are busy at a town

meeting oh oh I guess everybody's got

something better to do

tonight now what have we

here you expect him to lassu a picture

of a horse I I I figured he'd go looking

for somebody to play with and would find

it and last Sue it sure isn't it obvious

fix couldn't you have come up with

something a little simpler

hey at least something's going right

tonight now what's

this a note good for one free soda on

your

birthday H my luck is changing after

all how do you know Gilbert will even

have his lassu with him I just imagined

what he'd do I'd better go find him

let's not give up on Felix just yet

[Music]

I appreciate the soda Mr

Lawson at least I got one treat today

well I must say you looked pretty biry

thirsty o why hello there stores open

late tonight yes I just finished serving

Gilbert heris soda did you know it's his

birthday you don't say and how are you

spending it Gilbert I guess I'll see if

this old rope can last Su something so

long uh gilber um you know I have um uh

some new rope back at Green Gables I

could make you a proper lassu you

could this is just great this party has

everything but the guest of honor give

Felix a chance it's just seven now he'll
