01x08 - Lost and Found

Post by 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 a

home for my own family

when I got my wish I 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'd 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 seeing what I see

everything I touch is full of delights

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

can imagine a world full of joy just

give me your hand

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]

oh dear we tried not to interrupt your

afternoon nap hello a feather falling

could wake me when there's berries about

[Music]

the last time Marilla made blackberry

pie she had to fill half the pastry with

apples that you and Diana too she helped

me pick every last Berry behind the barn

then Diana perhaps you would care to

stay for Sunday supper what's that in

your fingers Matthew Cuthbert

explain the ink it's very messy never

seen purple ink before

[Music]

the big news today you know that old

shipwreck at Curtis point a pirate ship

we're so

well they've just found the captain's

Journal rolled up in a bottle and washed

ashore how scintillating think of it the

last words of a captain despairing as

his ship goes down what does it say says

here the captain's last entry was about

a treasure his crew had hidden near

Heavenly treasure hidden treasure I can

hardly believe my ears follow what they

printed here and you just might find it

my dear brother

you never change I remember when you

were all of seven returning from the

forest purple to the elbows with a

bellyache to boot well I'm off the plow

oh Diana I'd do anything to find that

treasure we might have our very own

treasure map right in this newspaper

article exactly this is the key to our

terrarium

come on

[Music]

let's see a hammer that looks useful and

a blanket very important in case it gets

cold cold uh how long will we be as

enterprising explorers we must be

prepared for all possibilities

I suppose

won't Matthew miss any of this we'll be

back before he needs it

and

[Music]

that's everything

onward h*

aren't we forgetting something

Diana with these back-breaking burdens

how could we need anything else

of course our map to the treasure here

we go

[Music]

yes you know

I've been in this Forest a hundred times

and I've never seen a treasure that's

because we weren't looking

now that we're on an exotic Mission

doesn't the forest hold a thrilling

mystery

I only hope that the forest doesn't hold

any great collection of uh pirates

pirates yes or uh treasure Hunters yes

or even bugs

they're not exactly my favorite thing

you know I've asked ye blood sucking

piss

fear not Diana I hereby nominate myself

and surely as the Explorer to deal with

bugs on this Mission well that's some

relief

now shall we uncover this mystery we

shall

whatever do you think we'll find in that

Treasure Chest silver dollars gold coins

I hope it's not some creepy crawly thing

nesting inside not if they sealed it

tight

how will we open the lock I'm sure we'll

find something in our bags

I'll say

think of it

parading down Main Street brandishing

gold and silver will be famous I might

even get to write an article in the

Avonlea Chronicle The Adventures of two

Brave explorers Brave

yeah I don't seem very brave to me Peg

bone we didn't mean to bother you we're

trying to intrude it's not my Forest

there's a nice one

the woods contain all sorts Spirits

Forest goblins and the like the good

thing you bumped into me you're not one

of them who knows what might have

happened then Peg Bowen what are you

going to do with with

these were

why am i Fishing

now dearies look where you're going and

remember where you've been you're here

ah

[Music]

I'm sure Pig was just telling stories

let's find the treasure and get out of

here now let's see it says

my trusty sailor lugged the precious

trunk through a thick forest oh we're

certainly deep in the forest until we

found a patch of birch and pine trees

these are Merchant Pine we followed the

sun until we came to a rock with strange

markings

from there my crew found a creek running

through the brush I don't see it

my mates and I followed the creek until

we found a small Mossy Enclave uh let's

try this way Enclave

what delicious word I must use it in my

newspaper story now what it says to look

for a butterfly butterfly yes near the

water was a flock of colorful

butterflies which led us to the

Treasure's hiding spot look

oh

maybe it will lead us to the rest

[Music]

maybe that's not the butterfly we were

supposed to go after where are we anyway

wherever it is it sure is spooky

nasty trolls did exist like Peg Bowen

said this is surely where their Lair

would be

I only said if there were trolls what

was that Justin Farmer's dog I'm sure

does this article say anything about how

to get back we're not going back now

we're so close how do you know we must

be don't lose sight of the treasure who

cares years I want to go home Diana

oh

oh and I'm sorry no it is I who should

be filled with remorse it wasn't giving

us all that much help anyway how will we

get home now no one's gonna come and

help us we we didn't even tell anyone

where we were going my mistake I know

I'd sure hate to miss marilla's pie

that's the least of our worries

well why don't we split up and do some

exploring on our own alone

is that wise with both of us looking

we'll find our way back that much sooner

guess so we'll meet back at at that big

old tree with the trunk so gnarled it

looks like a scary gargoyle oh

Diana that was an infinitely insensitive

thing for me to say banish the thought

from your mind now we'll meet back here

in 15 minutes good luck yes

good luck to you too

[Music]

an Explorer would find her way back by

uh

looking for Clues like Footprints I

wonder oh thank goodness I put this in

my pocket

oh

oh my come come explore Diana you can't

find Footprints if you don't look

[Music]

okay I looked I

look and and

I should have known better than to

describe that tree like a gargoyle

she is easily frightened after all

unlike me

now if I were Diana I'd see those rocks

in sync they looked like a frightful

monster about to pounce

but that's nonsense even so I'll just

head over

this way

[Music]

I were Diana I think those were eyes

watching me in the bushes

oh

it's time to find Diana

which way to our meeting place this

weight or that

oh no

think I'm lost

[Music]

I'm not afraid

oh that that's just an owl I'm not

afraid of owls

I'm just going to imagine it's somebody

who will will point my way home

yes someone to tell me how to get back

and that sound is simply uh

a snake

oh dear oh my I seem to be stuck like a

helpless tortoise here allow me how very

kind and who are you I'm a man of Green

Gables

[Music]

I am Marcus polis cartographer

extraordinaire

cartographer of the first degree

cartographers

I see and

you make

carts

how delightful

no no my dear I make maps cart is the

French word for maps you see and making

Maps is precisely what I do why this is

sublimely perfect I'm here exploring

with my friend Diana and we seem to have

brought everything but a good map jolly

good I'm your man that is once I've made

the map

how long will that take not so long if

you would care to assist me it would be

my honor very well rightio

onward and forever forward then

March March March March March

all right I think I'll start in this

direction

if only I could find my pencil

here it is

surely good all right

on second thought maybe I should start

in this direction ah yes

much better now where did I put

why you are good aren't you

foreign

on the other hand excuse me Mr polis you

may call me Marcus Mr Marcus it's just

well I have people waiting for me when

do you think you might be done my dear

girl map making is a precise and

exacting craft I can't appreciate that

but is this going to take more than an

hour an hour it will take more than a

week but I don't have a week well then

I'm sorry my dear girl but I won't be of

much help ah

you really are a tortoise surely I can

help make it faster all right find my

compass and tell me which way is North I

can do that

Matthew taught me

well he sounds like a smart fellow he

also taught me what to do if you don't

have a compass with you good gracious

what did he say you look up and use the

sun it rises in the East and sets in the

west so you always know where you are

depending on what time it is oh he must

be of polis extraction no it's only

common sense

I only wish I'd use some of it when we

first got lost well I'm finished here so

we're done Heaven's to Betsy girl no no

no no no no I have calculations and

permutations I have adjustments and

refinements where Miles

Away no

bad cold hey fever an occupational

hazard

I was wrong to rush you indeed you were

I suppose map making can't be rushed a

rule of thumb for many Enterprises dear

girl I don't understand if you stopped

your rushing and thought more carefully

you'd be sure to find your Green Gables

you mean use the sun the sun is but one

tool at your fingertips you're right I'd

forgotten Matthew's orienteering tricks

well then Cheerio now if I could only

find my pencil

foreign

I suppose that's just it I need to think

clearly and not be afraid

[Music]

footsteps

footsteps I'll just follow them back now

that's thinking clearly

I lost you forever thinking terrible

thoughts like that won't help our

situation

I

had an awful time

getting late I'm hungry and I mean Eat

My Life by all these bugs oh poor Diana

but first things first let's get some

food what about berries

without berries

Matthew used to pick blackberries in the

forest look

are some right there

what

yummy

Matthew's right they're even better

right off the bush

that's better I can think much happier

thoughts on a full stomach

now Matthew once told me you can use the

Sun as a compass Green Gables is west of

the forest and since the sun sets in the

west if we want to get home we follow

the Sun

now where say isn't that running water

it must be the creek we passed before

this way

[Music]

what's that

our knapsacks we're on the right truck

but which way from here remember what

Peg said look where you're going and

remember where you've been I'll use my

hair ribbons to Mark our way

so if we get lost again we can retrace

our steps what a noble sacrifice

too bad I didn't think of this before

well we weren't thinking clearly were we

where are you you've disappeared right

behind you

but where are you

[Music]

I see you found me oh here all our clear

thinking isn't gonna get us very far in

this fog I prefer to view it as our

greatest challenge yet listen

do you hear that

of course it's fog Diana it hasn't

affected my hearing well it may be foggy

down here but it's utterly clear up

there let's find something to climb

be too difficult

almost there

[Music]

I can see the top of the Avonlea Church

staple hooray

this way we're close

[Music]

good thing we're out of that fog except

I fear the worst has happened what I've

let us horribly afraid oh will you ever

forgive me it's a dead end what will we

do don't panic I've been tying ribbons

all this time remember we just retrace

our steps to that fork in the path and

go the other route

good clear thinking

we took another pass but now nothing

looks familiar I have an idea

what on Earth are you doing I'm

following Peg Bowen's advice and looking

where we're going and what I see is an

ant as you know I wouldn't usually find

this ant appealing but this end happens

to be carrying an ooey gooey blackberry

and and the next ant is also carrying a

Blackberry and the Ant after that

bit of pastry which means they're coming

from marilla's pie cooling on the

windowsill follow the trail of ants and

we'll be back in no time Diana I don't

believe I've ever witnessed such

staggering Brilliance you know bugs

aren't so creepy when you really look at

them wait till Matthew hears about this

orienteering trick

it sure is a long way for an ant to go

for a Blackberry

I told you marilla's pie was good

[Music]

there it is look Diana

we did it still it's a shame we never

found that treasure

it says here at long last my crew laid

our treasure to rest near a meadow a

spot with grass and trees alike

colorful butterfly just like in the

captain's Journal

sure

so close

dare we investigate my fellow Explorer

absolutely

butterfly

and nothing else

yeah we had an exciting time next time

I'll start by reading the whole article

before heading out

and

[Music]

the crocodiles below

your grip is listening hang on tight

and what happened to finding the buried

treasure

we're training for more challenging

exploits well don't let me interrupt I

have a date with the last piece of

marilla's pie

the last piece because it's the ants

made away with one pie there's less to

go around in my experience explorers are

in great need of sustenance yes for

their next adventure

and it's a good thing I brought two

extra Forks isn't it

[Music]

laughs

[Music]

[Applause]
