(crickets chirping)
(bird hooting)
(lighthearted music)
(light music)
(thunder rumbling)
- [Man] Oh, not bad.
Not bad at all.
- Oh no, rain.
Oh dear.
Dear, Jasper!
- [Jasper] What, what?
- I'm getting soaked!
- Oh, oh my god, it's raining.
No wonder I couldn't get it focused.
- Oh look, the box.
- Come on, quickly.
You sure?
- No, the ring, I've got it, I've got it.
(panting)
Oh.
(thunder rumbling)
- It's a blur.
Everything's a blur.
Perhaps um, one day.
You would pose for me,
just a portrait.
- Why would you waste a photographic plate
on me, Jasper?
We want to find news, not make it.
- Oh no, no ,no.
Not at all, you are.
It's not it at all, you are very newsworthy.
- Hey, you two!
(horse braying)
You're trespassing.
You know that, don't you?
- Well, we were,
- Sheltering from the rain.
- It stopped, so be off.
What are you doing?
- You can see this is photographic equipment.
- I'm writing an article for the Avonlea Chronicle
on autumn flora and fauna in--
- No.
No photograph, bad luck.
Now, get off my property!
(somber music)
- Oh Jasper.
- Folks.
- Hello.
- Oh, hello.
Well, who belongs to whom?
- That's Rufus and I'm Teddy.
You were talking to my dad, Jim Armstrong, weren't you?
- Charming fellow.
- I'm Olivia King and this is Jasper Dale.
- How do you do?
- He's really very nice, my dad.
He's just feeling a little bad
ever since my mum died.
Oh, would you like a bite?
My dad made it.
- I'd love one.
I'm sorry about your mum.
Hetty told me that you left school
about six months ago.
- My dad won't let me go.
He reads a lot of books himself.
He's a very wise man, but,
right now he don't have much time for me.
Running our farm and working for Jeff Sloan too.
- Jasper, we should take,
- Photograph.
- I guess we think alike.
- No, stop, stop.
Don't, don't wipe.
Just leave it.
That's to photograph.
That's Teddy.
Let's have a smile.
Good, hmm?
(dog barking)
- [Olivia] I can't stay, Hetty, Jasper's coming
to pick me up in a few minutes.
- Well it strikes me as somewhat unseemly, Olivia,
you spending so much time in the company
of Jasper Dale, of all people.
- Hetty, our relationship is strictly professional.
He's the only photographer in Avonlea.
He takes very good photographs.
His photographs complement my text.
- That's about all he'd complement.
Ooh, I have no patience for this
bumbling awkward manners, his,
really the man's exasperating beyond words.
Sara?
And where do you think you're going?
- To help Felicity decorate the King barn
for the church social.
She's expecting me.
Hello, Mr. Dale.
- Oh hello, Sara.
Goodbye.
- There he is.
A shiftless milk toast is all.
Steeped in the foul stench of photographic chemicals.
- Hetty King, it would behoove you
to be more Christian toward your neighbors.
- Oh, I am a picture of.
Protest too much.
- Are you all right?
- Just a slight attack of Hetty King-itis.
She loves to put a damper on anyone
who tries to be friends with me.
- Sisters are like that.
I'm led to believe they can no love
and hate each other at the same time.
- Oh, she would be happy if I were a complete recluse
with no social contact whatsoever.
I just wish Hetty would stop meddling with my life.
- Mother? - Mhmm?
- How did the Kings get roped
into hosting all these parties?
- Be quiet Felix, you love it as much as we do.
- [Olivia] Hello!
- I wonder what Olivia sees in Jasper Dale?
- He's a gentle man.
- In the true meaning of the word.
- I think it'll be nice if and Olivia were courted
by someone with slightly better bumps.
I mean Jasper Dale is doomed to bachelorhood, I'm sure.
- Well if you want my opinion--
- We don't.
- That Olivia and Jasper are far too ancient to get married.
They're almost as old as you and father.
(festive fiddle music)
- My, you children have done a fine job, Sara.
I have never seen this barn look quite so festive.
- Avonlea's been buzzing about this church social all week.
I heard that people from Markdale
and guests from the White Sands Hotel
are expected to attend.
- As I live and breathe.
I heard he's coming tonight.
Just for old times sake.
Of course at first I wasn't sure.
He looks somewhat older.
- Ah, don't we all?
- Bessie Middleton saw the registration card
at the White Sands Hotel this afternoon.
- Who?
- Edwin Clark.
- [Woman] The Edwin Clark?
- [Woman] The very one.
- [Woman] The Edwin Clark?
- Who ran away with Althea Gillis.
After Hetty King broke things up between Olivia and him.
- [Woman] And set poor Olivia on a direct
road to spinsterhood.
- Go ahead and fetch me some apple cider,
will you dear?
Run along now.
- To think that was all of 10 years ago.
- At least.
Not only is Edwin Clark back in Avonlea but,
he is a widower, oh god rest Althea's soul.
And a very wealthy widower to boot!
(giggling)
- That'll knock Hetty down a peg.
(laughing)
- Oh, Olivia.
Olivia King, where have you been?
- Oh, it was such a beautiful evening.
We stopped to listen to the frogs.
- Frogs?
Oh.
Wonder where Sara Stanley is.
She's gone to fetch me some apple cider, you see?
- Good idea, Miss King?
- Thank you?
- Would you like some cider, Miss King?
Oh no, I forgot.
- Cider?
- Sara, I forgot.
- Oh, really?
There's not a brain in that man's head.
Well then what can you expect
from cold soup warmed over?
- Hetty!
- No, no Olivia.
- Jasper, let's dance!
- Oh.
- Come on!
- Felix!
Felix!
- Teddy!
- My dad would skin me alive if he knew I was here.
I'm supposed to be home finishing chores, but
I was hoping to see all you fellas here.
- Oh here, have some.
- Thanks!
- Do you two intend to eat all that, hmm?
- [Boys] We're gonna try.
- Come on, fiz.
- Sara, you remember Teddy Armstrong, don't you?
(dog barking)
- He's a friendly thing, isn't he?
- He likes people, he sure does.
- When are you coming back to school, Teddy?
- Never.
My dad says it's run by a bunch of hypocrites.
Besides, he wants me to work on the farm.
- Who is that?
- Probably another guest from the White Sands.
- Hey you boys there, give me a hand with this buggy.
Don't want my horse hitched up all night.
Tell you what, you brush him down, walk him around the yard,
I'll give you a nickel.
- I'll do it, sir.
I'll walk him.
- Oh, my, Edwin Clark.
- Hi, Mrs. Lawson.
I wanted to see you.
Yes, Mrs. Beegan.
- Welcome home to Avonlea.
- Thank you, excuse me.
Good evening, Miss King.
- Mr. Clark.
Nice to see a successful son of Avonlea
return to the island.
What brings you home?
- I sold my mother's property.
I'm just tidying up some of her affairs.
Thought I'd stop by and see some old friends.
- I'm sure Olivia there'll be delighted to see you.
She's never given her hand to anyone, you know?
She's not married.
- Glad to hear it.
Excuse me.
- Who is that?
- Don't you mind, child.
Just you promise me Sara,
when your turn comes around
you won't get all bamboozled by this love business.
Lord knows, love'll wither on the vine
if a man has no prospects at all.
- Hah, Edwin Clark!
- I didn't expect it to happen quite this way.
Olivia, I was hoping to run into you.
- He should do something.
- Like what?
- I don't know.
Kiss her or something.
- Forgive me for being so forward
but you are as beautiful as I remember.
I'd like to see you again if I may.
May I?
- No.
I mean yes.
I don't know.
When?
- [Edwin] Well how about tomorrow afternoon?
- Fine, see you then.
Excuse me.
- The Lord works in mysterious ways, Olivia.
I know now I was wrong 10 years ago.
I hate to admit I should never have
pushed away Edwin Clark.
No, he's a good man.
Lots of money.
So stop acting like an addle brained schoolgirl.
- [Olivia] Oh, Hetty.
- No I am not going to try to control your life
any more, Olivia.
My sole concern now is that you find happiness
with the right person of course.
And the right person certainly isn't Jasper Dale.
- Hmm.
Aren't you ready yet, boy?
- Sorry sir, Felix and me could have had him all hitched up
if we knew you'd be leaving so soon.
May I have our nickel now?
- Nickel?
I never promised you anything of the kind.
- Yes you did, sir.
That's why I walked him and brushed him good.
- Don't try and hoodwink me.
Now out of the way.
- [Teddy] But sir, you promised!
(light music)
(knocking)
- Just a minute.
- [Courier] Flowers for Miss King.
- Oh, my.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
- [Courier] Good day, ma'am.
- Oh, ooh.
- [Olivia] Who on earth sent those?
- They're for you.
- They're wonderful.
But why would Jasper have gone through so much trouble?
- From your sincere admirer with a warmest regards, Edwin.
- Oh, Hetty, no one's ever sent me flowers
like these in my life.
And all the way from Charlotte Town, can you imagine?
- Must have cost a pretty penny too, I wouldn't doubt.
- I'll write you a thank you note immediately
then Peter can run it over to White Sands Hotel, yes.
Best we would reply to Mr. Edwin Clark.
Too sweet.
- Sara, come and see the flowers!
I better put them on water right away.
- [Hetty] Clara Potts tells me that Edwin Clark
has decided to extend his stay in Avonlea.
- He wants to see me again.
Perhaps he's still fond of me after all these years.
After all, his wife is dead, God rest her soul.
- If Edwin Clark loved you so much,
why did he take up so quickly with someone else?
I know one thing for certain.
Jasper would never run away
just because Aunt Hetty made an ugly face.
- I think Edwin Clark will appreciate my
fine penmanship, hmm.
You wouldn't want to risk spoiling
such an important impression, Olivia
with your imperfect writing skills.
- Hetty, my writing skills are every bit as good as yours.
- Hmm.
I saw you speaking with Teddy Armstrong
last night, Sara.
- Felix says that ever since Teddy's mother has died,
his father won't speak to anyone in Avonlea.
- Thoroughly irresponsible man, that Jim Armstrong.
He thinks he can teach his son
better than a professional teacher.
- Jasper and I met him last week
when he found us in his barn.
- Found you in a barn?
With Jasper Dale?
Thank goodness it was Jim Armstrong.
What if it had been Clara Potts?
Why you'd have the whole town thinking
you were up to some indecency.
(sighing)
All this photographic prancing around.
It'll be your undoing, Olivia, believe me.
- You have to sweep her off her feet, Mr. Dale.
Just because Edwin Clark's come back to Avonlea
doesn't mean you have to let him push you
out of the picture.
- No.
He's an important person, and he's wealthy.
And you saw everyone the other night
fawning all over him.
Besides, if Olivia loved him a long time ago,
maybe uh, maybe I shouldn't stand in their way.
- Yes but no one can make her laugh like you can.
Think about that, Mr. Dale.
- All right.
All right, I will.
I'll do that, Sara Stanley.
Goodbye now.
- Remember, the best man always wins.
- I'm not sure about that.
(somber music)
Sweep her off her feet.
Easier said than done.
Sara Stanley.
She walks in,
she walks in beauty like the night
cloudless climbs and starry skies.
And all that's best of dark and bright
meet in her aspect in her eyes.
All that's best of dark and bright
meet in the aspect of her eyes.
- That's a lovely line for describing
Black-eyed Susans, Jasper.
I hope you didn't get me in that photograph.
Listen, why don't we lower the tripod
and we'll get a shot of these flowers right here?
- Whoah!
(laughing)
I wasn't watching what I was doing.
I'm, I'm sorry.
I forgot something.
A plate, a plate in the fixing solution in my lab.
I'll be right, um,
ah, be right back.
- We've got to stop Edwin Clark from taking up again
with Aunt Olivia.
- I'll say.
He tried to cheat Teddy off a nickel.
- Edwin Clark is no good for her.
Poor Jasper isn't go much further
without an awfully big push.
Will you help me?
- I'd love to give Edwin Clark a taste
of his own medicine.
- I wish we could come up with a prescription.
- Come on, I've got an idea.
(light music)
- Sara Stanley and Felix King.
You look like a couple cupids tied in knots.
- Did you know, Aunt Olivia is really in love
with Jasper Dale.
Except she doesn't realize it.
Poor Jasper, he'll just be devastated
if she ever marries Edwin Clark.
She'll go and live in Halifax
and be unhappy ever after.
We simply need your help to do something
to stop all this!
- Well my dear, what makes you think
I could work that kind of magic?
If I could, I'd be married to (snickering)
the Governor General himself.
What you're asking me to do
will require the ultimate in thaumaturgism.
Working wonders.
Spring water boiled with cattails.
Angelica seeds to ward off the evil spirits.
Elm sap sprinkled, the pollen of butterfly wings.
The potion of love.
(speaking in foreign language)
All you need now is to get Olivia
to drink the potion before the next time
she sees Jasper Dale.
- We'd better hurry.
I'll get Jasper to the house right away.
- Once Olivia drinks this,
she will become betrothed to the very next
unmarried man she sees.
Tastes very pleasant when mixed with sarsaparilla.
Olivia won't be suspicious.
Have a sip.
- Quite nice, Felix, try some.
It's good.
Come on, try it.
- You?
And me?
Betrothed?
(giggling)
(kooky music)
- Whoah! (horse braying)
- You could hurt someone at that speed.
Inconsiderate oaf.
Who does he think he is?
Could kill some one.
Dangerous man.
Oh, oops.
- Aunt Olivia?
Aunt Olivia, where are you?
- Out walking with Edwin Clark, I do believe.
- No.
- [Felix] Sara!
- Felix.
Everything is going wrong, we're running out of time.
Edwin Clark's sent Aunt Olivia so many flowers.
This house smells like a funeral parlor.
She's out walking with him again this afternoon.
You get Jasper Dale and bring him over here.
I'll wait for Aunt Olivia.
(sighing)
- Mr. Dale!
Mr. Dale!
- Felix.
- You're needed at Rose Cottage, right away!
Aunt Olivia!
- What, what's happened?
- She, um, she's taken ill, deathly ill!
- Good lord!
Well come on, Felix, help me hitch the buggy.
♪ Like a velvet ♪
(humming)
- Hetty!
I just stopped by to tell you
that Edwin and I are off to the White Sands Hotel for tea.
- Oh, don't dilly dally then.
- No!
- What's wrong, Sara?
- I thought you finished your walk.
Why don't you sit down and I'll go tell
Mr. Clark, never mind.
I thought you'd like a cool drink.
- Oh, no thank you, not right now.
- But I spent a good half hour mixing it
from scratch for you.
- Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean I didn't want it.
Here, perhaps a cold drink is just what I need.
It's very humid out today.
Thank you, Sara.
Mmm, that was delicious.
- Aunt Olivia, if you're going to the White Sands Hotel,
don't you think that you should change
into something just a little more appropriate?
- Oh.
Oh I believe I will.
I'll just tell Edwin I'll be a few more minutes.
- Oh, no.
I'll tell him.
You run along upstairs.
Aunt Olivia said not to wait.
She'll meet you there shortly.
She's changing her clothes and she wants to surprise you.
You know, sort of make a good impression.
She's embarrassed that you'll find out.
- Oh well that's fine.
You tell her that I'll be waiting for her in the lobby.
(clicking)
(uptempo music)
(braying)
- [Both] Whoah, whoah, no, no!
(crashing)
- You idiot!
- This is an emergency!
- Christ!
- Miss Olivia King has been taken ill.
- I'll, I was there moments ago!
She was absolutely the picture of health!
- That's what Sara told me.
I'll run over to Rose Garden, see if she's okay.
You better fetch your horse, Mr. Dale.
- Now back, back, back this buggy!
- I won't be more than an hour.
Oh, has Edwin left?
- He promised he'd be back in 20 minutes.
He wanted to change his clothes as well.
- Are you sure, Sara?
- That's what he said.
I suppose he just wanted to make a good impression.
- Well I don't know why he's fussing so much.
I'm only going out to tea with an old friend.
What do you think?
(knocking)
- Perfect.
Oh no.
Not again.
- Whoah.
- Olivia.
You don't look ill at all.
- Well who said I was?
- Why, Jasper Dale.
- Jasper, I wonder where he got that idea?
Sara?
Do you know why Jasper would say that?
Sara?
- Here you go.
(clicking)
- Terrible thing we've done.
I feel sick at making up such lies.
Poor Aunt Olivia.
Poor Jasper.
- Poor me.
How do I tell mother and father I'm betrothed
to two people?
- [Sara] Come on Felix, I've got an idea.
(light music)
- There.
Look, pardon.
- Sorry, Jasper Dale.
Olivia's off to tea with Mr. Edwin Clark.
So you're too late, good day.
- I was led to believe by Felix
that she was ill.
Or at least not,
- Feeling.
- Feeling very well.
Is she a little under the weather perhaps?
- No, don't be coy, Jasper.
You needn't trouble yourself dreaming up
all these feeble excuses just to have the opportunity
to speak with Olivia.
Time for you to accept the situation as it is.
- Miss King.
- And leave Olivia free to procure
a full life.
There are some things that one cannot change, you see?
- Things can be changed.
- Hah!
- No, they will be changed.
- Hah!
(somber music)
(light music)
- One tends to think of the White Sands
as being so busy with tourists.
But I much prefer it when summer's over
and everything's calm and peaceful again.
- Yeah, so do I.
Olivia, I want to thank you for joining me
for tea today.
I realize that my visiting you out of the blue
may seem strange, but,
you know that I've loved you
ever since I first set eyes on you
over 10 years ago, don't you?
I was young and unsure.
And I must admit, Hetty certainly had a way
of intimidating suitors.
We were like ships passing one another in the night.
Only I can never stop imagining
what it would have been like if,
if I hadn't left the island
and if our lives had become intertwined.
Permanently.
- I used to wish that too, Edwin.
I cried myself to sleep many a night wishing.
- Wishing what?
- You make me feel like a ridiculous schoolgirl
all over again.
- Olivia.
We can go back to the way we felt about each other.
Tell me.
Wishing what?
- Wishing that I'd find myself in your arms once again.
- Olivia King and you?
- I need a new potion to change it!
- Mice.
Mice, blasted mice.
(sighing) Oh well.
Can't be changed now.
I have a confession to make.
- You mean it can't be changed?
- No lad.
I was thinking about it earlier.
And I realized I made a grievous error.
Forgot to include one other active ingredient.
Powdered mouse bones.
- Hurry up and make the potion again, Peg,
we haven't a moment to lose.
- We?
How about you?
I'm not poking my nose
into other people's business ever again.
I don't wanna be betrothed to anyone.
And I bet you Jasper doesn't need any potion to get it.
- Maybe you're right, lad.
Fate has a way of throwing things off course.
Magic can't force a square block
into a round hole, you know.
- You mean Aunt Olivia and Jasper better sort out
their own lives.
- Exactly.
- Everything's going so fast, Sara.
All these flowers and attention.
I feel like a top spinning out of control.
- What about Jasper?
- Oh dear, Sara.
The thing that worries me the most about Jasper is
he's such a confirmed bachelor.
I know we've had wonderful times together.
And he's kind and gentle and considerate.
And he always makes me laugh.
Almost hysterically sometimes.
Whereas Edwin,
Edwin is--
- Is rich and boring.
And he thinks he can buy you just like his chocolates
and his flowers.
- I don't give two hoots about the flowers.
It's just hard to forget the first person
you've ever fallen in love with.
I just want everything to be the way it was
a long time ago.
- But things can't ever really be the same
as they used to be.
How can you love him now when
you don't really even know him?
(somber music)
- You'll discover many hidden qualities.
I might not have,
might not have the aura that is this Edwin Clark
but neither does he have the aura
that is um,
Olivia what I want to say.
You will discover many hidden qualities.
I'm, uh.
- Olivia, I thought we could drive along the coast,
stop at the cove.
Perhaps after lunch we could go for a walk.
- Oh that sounds wonderful, Edwin.
- Good.
See you at the White Sands at four o'clock.
(light music)
- Mr. Dale!
Mr. Dale!
Felix told that whopper just to get you to Aunt Olivia
so that Peg's love potion will get her to marry you.
We'd all be horrified if she ever left
to marry Edwin Clark.
Maybe even leave Avonlea forever.
- I appreciate all the trouble that you've gone to,
Sara Stanley, but I cannot compete
with the bouquets of Charlotte Town
or the confections from Montreal.
Besides, she probably still loves him.
- Aunt Olivia's frightened.
I'm sure the only reason she'd even consider Edwin Clark
is because she thinks you'll never ask her
to marry you.
She's worried you're a confirmed bachelor.
- Well, this isn't exactly true.
- I know that.
But Edwin Clark is in the garden right now,
maybe even proposing to her.
You have to tell her yourself that she's making a mistake.
That you're not the man you appear to be.
Show her that you love her.
You said things can be changed.
This may be your only chance.
- You're right.
I will.
Things will be changed.
- Sweep her off her feet!
(light music)
- Hold on there.
Just right there, Mr. Clark.
Miss King.
I have something,
I have something that.
- Tell her something important has happened to you.
- Something important has happened to me.
I need to speak to you alone.
- Olivia.
But.
- Tell her, tell her that you love her
and that you want her hand in marriage.
Don't worry, Mr. Dale.
She'll choose you, I know she will.
Just tell her.
- What's wrong, Jasper?
- I, uh.
I need you to choose.
No.
I need you to ask, no no.
I want to ask for,
- [Felix] Mr. Dale!
- I want to ask for your hand in marriage.
- Mr. Dale!
Teddy Armstrong, Teddy Armstrong was playing tag
with a bunch of kids in the woods!
- I've loved you for some time.
- He fell through the floor of an old well!
We've been calling to him but he won't say anything!
I think he might have broken his neck or drowned!
- Ah, Sara, go on and fetch a lamp.
Felix, here.
Now, won't you show us where he is.
(dog barking)
There he is, stand back now
Let's take care of you now, let's have a look.
Teddy?
- Stand aside.
- Felix, light it up.
Right, stand back.
Look out, look out, watch it.
Teddy?
- [Olivia] I can't see him moving.
- [Felix] Teddy say something!
- Teddy!
- [Jasper] Let's lower the lantern, hold on.
- I could see him, Mr. Dale.
It's a long way down.
- [Jasper] Felix, pass me that large line.
- Hold on, Teddy.
- [Jasper] Thanks.
That's it.
All right now, give me the horse collar.
- [Olivia] Someone has to go down and get him.
Edwin?
Teddy can you hear me?
We're coming to get you.
Be careful, Jasper.
Is he all right, Jasper?
- Here now, let's have a look at you.
He's alive.
Go and fetch Dr. Blair, find the boy's father.
Have them meet us at Rose Cottage.
Can you chuck the collar down?
- [Edwin] What?
Where do you want it?
- Just drop it.
Drop it man, drop it.
- [Sara] What's he doing, Aunt Olivia?
- He's in the collar.
- Don't worry boy.
We'll have you out of here in a minute.
All right, Olivia, get ready.
Here he comes.
Gently.
- [Edwin] Got him.
- [Jasper] Be gentle with him now.
Easy, easy.
- It's all right Teddy, you're safe now.
Teddy, it's gonna be all right.
- You dimwit boy, shouldn't play around here
in the first place.
I hope that teaches you a lesson
about staying off other people's property.
- [Felix] Aunt Hetty!
Aunt Hetty!
- Merciful heaven.
- Dr. Blair.
His pulse seems quite strong.
I don't think anything's broken.
- Hetty, boil some water.
- Oh yes, doctor.
- Well let's see how bad this wound is.
- Perhaps he has a severe concussion.
- Jasper, get everyone out of here.
- Um, everyone, you'll have to leave.
Miss King.
- Thank you Jasper, you are very brave.
- Olivia, I know this has all been most unsettling.
But there's something I wanted to tell you earlier.
- Edwin.
- I, I have admired and respected you for so long
that I came today prepared to ask for your hand in marriage.
I'd give anything in this world to have you
for my wife.
It would be a wonderful life.
And I would be the happiest of men, Olivia.
Contented, proud, honored.
- Oh Edwin.
You take my breath away.
- This all seems so sudden, I realize.
What I'm asking is that you will consider
accepting this ring as a token
of my commitment and esteem.
Please take it and think about whether or not
you'll be my wife.
- I'm afraid I can't accept your ring, Edwin.
I'm afraid I just can't recapture the past
as easily as you can.
- Olivia, you don't mean that.
- I'm sorry.
- What have they done to my boy?
- Calm down, Jim.
He's had a bad fall but he's all right.
Jasper saved his life.
- Teddy shouldn't have been playing with those boys.
- Well he didn't know there was a well there.
He's just having a good time with his friends.
Go easy on him, Mr. Armstrong.
He's a fine boy.
(sighing)
- I'll grant you that.
You don't know how much you care for a body
till you near to lose him.
(chickens clucking)
- Here you go.
Jim.
- Hah, thank you Jasper.
- And he'll be looking as good as this again
any day now.
- That really is him, isn't it?
You got a cheeky look about you, Ted.
Hah, and a blueberry turnover?
Always thinking of your stomach.
You know, hadn't it rained that day
and you might not have used my lean-to for shelter,
Teddy might not be here today.
It was like it was,
I don't know how to say it.
- Pre-ordained.
- That's it.
Pre-ordained.
- Things have turned out exactly as they were meant to.
(light music)
- It's gonna take time to build up my photographic business
but I'd like to be a photographic historian and travel
across Canada.
And thus be able to buy two train tickets.
And security, I'd like to offer security with my love.
- Could you promise me one thing?
- What's that?
- Could you not take too long to purchase
those train tickets?
- You mean, you'd come with me?
- Of course I would.
- You mean you accept my proposal?
- Yes.
I love you, Jasper Dale.
- Well, ain't that the pistol, huh?
