01x19 - A Square Peg

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

Once Upon an orphanage 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 I

[Music]

pinched myself to make sure this home

was real

they said for a boy but then I was a

girl my dreaming had just let me down

again if I came as a queen this long

ebony hairs and maybe they feel I was

worth it for them I'm a good worker in

spite of My Talking I belong to belong

here for all of my life don't send me

away without

bouncy I see everything I touch

[Music]

I can imagine a world full of joy just

give me your hand and I'll teach you to

hope you'll find that I have something

worthwhile just let me stay here and

I'll love you forever I promise a life

full of smiles

foreign

[Music]

you with that monstrosity I hardly think

so

how to get star Fortress like King

Arthur's Castle our sturdy walls will

repel their ill-crafted a*tillery

they'll never get a single snowflake

through our Windows prepare to Dawn

thine armor I'm ready to do battle of

fair and Noble Knight

our Castle cannot withstand the Savage

attack of these barbarians we must

redouble our efforts

they can't hit us we've won yeah

[Music]

we did it

[Music]

oh why you

Gilbert

masterton Drake and high and low person

backs k*lling me it's Peg Bowen huh

so when there's snow bars in their snow

for it they didn't go home read a good

book

I don't know did you see that what's

pink Bowen up to now

[Music]

oh no it was freezing that's nothing

compared to the shiver I felt down my

spine when Peg bone cast her eye my way

oh it's enough to turn me to Stone

she has turned kids to Stone do talk of

such silly things she's a witch why else

would she drag that huge cauldron and

live alone in the forest and have that

horde pet Crow she does dress strangely

in trousers like a man must be for

casting spells and making magic potions

one thing's for sure Peg bone is a deep

dark mystery

isn't this one a beaut

or this one Matthew I declare these your

best drawings of the whole winter well

now that's cause the last snowfalls of

the Season make the nicest snowflakes

no tour like isn't that right

just like people

hats are for your head and not for

beating a poor defenseless railing we

had the most thrilling snow fight today

speaking a hatch

gorilla did you finish it

[Music]

oh it's Splendid it makes supper seem

like a royal feast

so long as you display the manners of a

princess as well Marilla my conduct will

be worthy of a king's table

you are a strange one am

if you want strange you should have set

eyes on Peg Bowen today did she come to

town for Provisions no she had a huge

cauldron which he dragged through the

street on her sled I've never seen such

a chilling sight well now with no horse

and sleigh how else can she move her

things

is rather than

Jean ever since she was a child Peg knew

how to look after herself

you knew Peg Bowen that long ago no need

to cease chewing she's an eccentric

always has been

Peg Bowen's father was a Woodsman

he built their Shack in the forest where

she lives to this day

Peg knew all the bird calls she would

feed them and even tame them

had knew everything about plants and

which ones were good for cures

one time I took old Rex to her she knew

just how to make him better

she liked birds and trees and dogs

but pegbo never had much time for other

people

[Music]

I can't believe it what did pegboard

never liked people no that she was ever

actually a girl we were all children

once Anne I supposed to get a strange as

Peg Bowen you need to start young who we

all have our special differences I don't

there's nothing different about me

whatsoever in fact if it weren't for my

red hair I'd be the most utterly normal

person I know

whoa

[Music]

what a deliriously exciting close call

[Laughter]

[Music]

dogs Birds Plants Marilla and Matthew

said Peg bones and eccentric and

eccentrics do strange things

here Chrome

did you see that what has she got there

now they might be to bury things in I

stay there for potions actually Anne

they look a bit like your new princess

hat they are nothing like my hat

well they're the same shape

that's it we must get to the bottom of

this you mean follow her yes into the

forest it's time we learn the truth

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

numbers

[Music]

what was that

oh what's she doing with those scissors

she's cutting her own hair

what is she Gathering it for a potion a

potion I tell you it's a potion

[Music]

but we're far from her now

I hope so I'm starting to think she's a

witch after all really the facts all add

up her hair her magic staff her witchy

walk here grow here grow let's go scare

some kids and then we'll go make a magic

belt

[Music]

not bad except you forgot my earring

[Music]

they will be bothering us now

and then she left right out of the

bushes to scare the wits out of us you

should be scared caught in such

undignified and rude mockery of another

person but we were only playing to keep

ourselves Brave in the face of Peg

Bowen's witchy strangeness nonsense

she was cutting her own hair what else

is she to do living alone her hair grows

like yours well if that's eccentric then

I'm glad I'm not

oh they're marvelous I thought you might

like some to decorate your snow fort oh

Matthew these will inspire us in our

repairs we'll make it the best fort ever

he does drawings of snowflakes what's

the point to capture Nature's individual

and glorious Beauty before it perishes

I'd say he's Mighty strange

what would you know about these Master

cases what would you know you look

pretty weird yourself done up like that

who are you calling weird you weirdo

yeah the Run Perry the weird sisters are

after us

oh

[Music]

that got rid of them how dare they

insult Matthew well you have to admit

and

there isn't anybody else in Heavenly who

draws snowflakes so what it's a

wonderful interest

what's that sound

she's uh she's talking to trees sending

messages to the roots waking them up for

spring and

oh

what her again

what she got now

real oh my goodness Diana

Diana Diana

no I'm lost

[Music]

now I mustn't panic I found my way out

of the force before I can do it again

what's that this is too much pigs

everywhere

oh

[Music]

I only rest a moment gather my strength

oh hell I wish I were somewhere warm far

away from that strange Peg Bowen

and King Arthur's Forest

[Music]

now this is better

[Music]

sir uh can you tell me where

us get on the horses I mean the horses

sir are you all right

[Music]

why it is only a fair maiden and you

must be a knight and his band of merry

men Robin goodfeather at your service

and surely that's yours what might the

damsel like you be doing in a forest

like this I'm imagining I'm far from

danger

in this Forest oh why yes it looks to be

perfectly lovely do not be deceived

this Forest is fraught with Peril we

Brave certain death to reach the village

of Avon and pay tribute to the new

Wizard what's in the forest

dragons well in order to calm my

frazzled nerves I choose not to believe

in dragons today

if you're not afraid no I'll lead if you

like you heard her

fight the horse

[Music]

and forgive him my lady

we're not accustomed to such bravery

especially among Fair lasses

my lady what's wrong

side saddle this way is much more

comfortable

men we have found a strange one

[Music]

why is everyone clamoring around they've

never seen such wondrous attire no I

suppose they haven't

will thou help prepare the feast with

pleasure

[Music]

perfect

we don't have food like this where I

come from we've gone to the ends of the

Earth to find Delicacies for our

celebration the ends of the Earth is a

fine and quaint phrase Robin but I never

use it myself it's so dreadfully

old-fashioned why is that because as

everybody knows there are no ants to the

Earth

well everybody knows

the Earth is a round

did she say round

everybody knows the Earth is flat

but where did you hear such Folly I read

it in a book of course

[Music]

a girl who can read that's impossible

girls don't read

I think you're all overreacting really

true it's only a young girl's flight so

fancy but it's not fancy at all and

uh perhaps I'll uh just keep quiet

[Music]

let's play this day

Robin do something what

convinced him I'm not a witch just

because I'm different

um wait everybody let's take her to the

wizard she will pass judgment

you're the wizard

who is this wizard anyway a wise and

wonderful pegena

[Music]

her name was

[Applause]

it's Peg my goose is cooked

[Music]

I have heard your crimes false Notions

on the shape of our world a mysterious

ability to read strange clothes the

likes of which we have never seen and

and

yes and an insufficient fear of dragons

oh

sorry Anne

they forced it out of me Neymar

punishment these are indeed strange

qualities for a young girl to possess

they may frighten and confound us

oh how did I ever get so strange

and yet there is no reason to punish her

the girl's eccentric nearly ahead of her

time

we must tolerate her beliefs and habits

not be cruel oh merciful beginning I

thank you from the bottom of my heart I

admit child your fashion sense leaves a

great deal to be desired

let us begin festivities for our wise

and wondrous wizard

[Applause]

[Music]

wise wondrous

why isn't wondrous

[Music]

what are you going on about

me just my luck finding a damsel in

distress in my busiest time of year hi

I'm frozen in fear no child you're just

Frozen get on the sled and we'll go warm

you up

don't forget that silly hat

[Music]

now you get this inside you thank you

wait is this some some potion from your

cauldron

it's only tea

it does smell like marillas

um

what's that sweet taste secret

ingredient

I'll show you on our way back which

should be soon storms clearing we best

be off I've got work to do but my

clothes are soaked no matter I have an

idea

I feel silly you'd rather wear your wet

clothes no it's just I've never worn

trousers before first time for

everything

I admit they are exceedingly warm I made

them a secret ingredient in the felt

keeps them cozy what's that oh wow never

tell

[Music]

is this your potion haven't you ever

seen maple syrup get made before maple

syrup kids these days don't know

anything end of winter I make maple

syrup from these here maple trees when

the sap starts raising so the drill

makes tiny holes into the maple trees

and the little buckets catch the sap

Mmm delicious if the kids Could See Me

Now tasting a potion from your cauldron

what a strange one you are

but why do you like living alone in the

forest we aren't all chatty little

redheads you know yes

like Matthew's snowflakes were all

different but you must admit you are

more different than most you think so no

other women wear trousers mark my words

there will come a time when we'll see

more girls in trousers than girls

dressed like princesses what do you

think I'm eccentric too

[Music]

I'd say you are you you mean I'll turn

out like you only if you're lucky

a few are we ever glad to see

what the

what's wrong

on Earth are you wearing

[Laughter]

[Music]

she was only making maple syrup so

that's how she earns a living well it

seems all is explained now nah she still

gives me the willies

here's your clothes all dried thanks

still catching snowflakes uh when the

idea strikes me you always were an odd

one Matthew Cuthbert

[Music]

I've got a gopher waiting for a dip in

the stew pot then I'm off to fix Mrs

McGillicuddy's knees

with a potion yeah I might say so

I doubt pegboard will ever be completely

understood and Gilbert that's just the

way she likes it

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]
