01x20 - Marbles!

[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

why Mr Lawson you're all orange come on

and I thought you wanted to try out my

new skipping rope how can I skip when

the world blazes like the sun's Corona

Felix how about a blue one

enchanting now we're all under the ocean

we could all be mermaids and Merman can

I see what's all the excitement about

Anne's got herself all excited about yet

another foolish craze marbles

our uncle from Charlottetown sent

Felicity and me each a box

they're just foolish worthless little

ba*ls of glass they're refractive

sparkling masterpieces well nice to know

what they're buying in the Big Town

come on I want to get home and try on my

new shoes

and

are you ready uh uh oh Diana yes I am

ready I've got to find a way to La Sue

some of those beautiful magnificent

marbles for myself

oh

[Laughter]

[Music]

you think that was a good shot watch

this notice anything new and shiny about

me today Victoria

[Music]

hmm

wow

[Music]

look

yeah what's going on Felicity oh Felix

is showing everyone how to play games

with those marbles games everyone's Gaga

about Felix and nobody said a word about

my shoes the next game is called

conqueror put your marbles in a circle

then you take a sh**ter marble and try

to win them by knocking them out of the

circle like this

see that means I just won those three

but if I didn't knock anything out I

would have lost my turn so if I had my

own marbles I could win some of yours

sure could except Felix owns all the

marbles excuse me people but I have new

shoes here

show us another game Felix yeah come on

Felix

[Music]

now Newton's first law states oh wait

let me see stay in motion and so this

object will continue to move until the

object is acted upon by an outside force

I want to similarly an object at rest

tends to stay it

oh what in creation

we're bored

[Music]

now see here children please remain

seated while I whoa gracious

[Music]

King hmm

I can't believe she shut them away or

cold little prisoners locked in the dark

dungeon of her desk and she said she

won't give my marbles back for a week

what are we going to do

we are in dire need of marbles

hmm

they have special names swirlies

corkscrews onion skins

oxbludge flaming dragons Matthew do you

know marbles oh a little I'm the only

one here who doesn't well Marilla allow

me to educate you what you do is put the

sh**ter in your hand like this then you

should

uh oh marbles don't interest me in the

least uh did Matthew play best marbles

player in Evan Lee when he was a boy

until someone better came along I warned

him Marilla disapproved of the marbles

crazy in our day too and what are you so

pleased about

it's called a bumblebee it's my only

marble left

take it

Matthew I'm utterly speechless there's a

first time for everything why don't you

go wrestle up a game I'll peel the rest

of these apples

mind that you're back for dinner

my dear brother you know very well those

ludicrous things were nearly the ruin of

you no no harm in giving one to the girl

you clearly lost all your marbles the

day that orphan came into our lives

hmm

and I have something to tell you

I can't stand marbles

remember when I visited my cousin

Willard in Charlottetown Felicity was

right marbles are all the rage there but

I can tell you they brought misery to a

lot of kids I don't see how such beauty

could be the source of unhappiness is

that a marble I see

it's nice enough I suppose nice doesn't

begin to describe it it's more valuable

than a treasure box of shimmering jewels

a box like the one my uncle sent me

if you're nice I'll let you play with

them before school tomorrow I'm always

nice it's my natural disposition and huh

oh Diana how can you think of skipping

in a time like this

[Music]

and you can have three marbles this

morning

sign where my assistant has marked an X

what do you say and uh thank you

Felicity hmm

you sound grateful enough

oh Felicity I implore your Bountiful

generous and unstinting nature to please

give me the marbles

just don't forget to give them back to

me before

oh well

Mr come earlier tomorrow morning

this Arrangement is exceedingly

frustrating things had better changed

I don't suppose you'd ever think of

laying something more interesting than

eggs would you say Marvels for instance

I have marbles on the brain I'm afraid

Diana would agree with you

[Music]

neglecting Diana I suppose I have been

I'll throw myself upon her mercy when

she comes by today

still doing chores

don't move I have something important to

tell you I thought you'd be down at

Lawson's store not another word until I

tell you about the heart-wrenching talk

I had with the chickens um I saw how

I've been neglectful of you and

lost in store

Mr Lawson just got in a shipment of

marbles I just assumed you'd heard oh

then

[Music]

um

whoa now there's no need to get excited

there are enough marbles for everyone

where are they you see them maybe

they're behind the counter

oh

[Music]

whoa Nelly swirlies three for a penny

corkscrews and onion skins a penny a

piece

blaming dragons and bumblebees for two

cents

oversized Tiger Eyes for a nickel the

big ones are expensive there's one more

children

behold the Steely

utterly captivating

a dollar for a marble I don't expect to

sell it I just got it for show

I'll take it Mr Lawson and I'll also

take the whole tray of those big tiger

eyes please oh and certainly Felicity

the

play too much for one more

one more year

Felicity that's some beauty all right

but I got some great flaming dragons and

bumblebees me too I got dragons and

onion skins I got some bumblebees

dragons and corkscrews though I wish I

had a chance at that Steely you can all

have a chance at it

now that we have our own marbles

all right it's gonna be so much fun for

once a new existence Felicity you have

said something of great importance

foreign

now clear your finger a little more

good good

now remember what I said Focus where I

want the marble to go and then let my

finger flip itself

[Music]

hooray

Matthew you're the best teacher in the

world

well no I'd say you're a pretty good

student I just want to get good enough

to win that Steely from Felicity she's

going to be hard to beat her marbles are

all huge now take some advice from

someone who's been there marbles are fun

to play with but they're not worth

taking too seriously yeah if you'll

excuse me it's time for the afternoon

milking

is this the Marble Math you gave you

gave Diana I have put

the Bumblebee safe way it has far too

much value to risk losing in a game

though I'm so good now there's little

risk of that

[Music]

come on

yay

laughs

[Music]

[Applause]

oh

hmm

[Music]

oh alas it seems we just start to play

in the school bell rings we need a

proper tournament great idea winner take

off let's make it so that you have to

bring at least 20 good marbles to play

no three for a penny stuff Bumblebee's

minimum we'll hold it on Saturday after

chores in the old cornfield the only

problem is getting 20 good marbles in

time

that's one problem I won't have

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Laughter]

what on Earth is the matter child the

kids wouldn't let her play their silly

game because they said her marbles

weren't good enough flaming dragons and

bumblebees minimum Amy's marbles are all

swirlys and corkscrews I still need one

more dragon or B to qualify I qualify 20

times over you wouldn't if I played you

are you saying I'm afraid to play you

swirly's are useless class I can't

afford bumblebees I had 10 flaming

dragons class I lost them class onion

skin should qualify that is quite enough

henceforth the game of marbles the sight

of marbles the very mention of marbles

is banned from this school but band that

is my final word oh

this would be a lot more interesting if

someone were actually skipping the most

inconceivably magnificent tournament in

the history of Avonlea and I'm short one

marble

so Magnificent about Amy crying or Lloyd

being chased away from a game

everybody's fighting Anne and what for a

flaming Dragon another Bumblebee

Bumblebee that's it I can use Matthew's

Bumblebee

told me it was too precious but this is

a full-scale emergency oh I'm a genius

now I can play

yay

my bosom friend you are suffering from

Marvel Mania

18 19 20 and qualifies is that everyone

yeah let's go the rules are simple we

play one another until two players are

left those two will play one final game

[Music]

[Applause]

winner takes all ready

let the games begin yeah

[Music]

and now the final showdown

marbles in the circle

[Music]

you missed my turn now

ah too bad Felicity

[Music]

[Music]

If Anne wins this she wins everything

just one more

foreign

[Music]

not so fast and

[Music]

and one fair and square if you want my

Steely this is how to get it gamble all

the marbles you just won on this last

shot Winner Takes all don't do it Anne

you lose Matthew's marble I want that

Steely Diana it's too big remember

Newton's Second Law The more mass the

more force needed to move it then I

shall sh**t with great force

oh

oh

[Music]

I win

Matthew I've lost your beautiful marble

[Laughter]

[Music]

how could I have been so foolish I've

lost Matthew's Marbles and everything

else

hey what's with the Waterworks you're

getting me soaked here oh dryad Felicity

tricked me seemed to me you lost fair

and square

how can you say that

it's easy I just opened my mouth well I

don't appreciate such harsh realities

from you when I'm in the depths of

Despair what if you won in do you think

you'd feel any better dryad it would be

the most glorious moment of my life

don't do it Anne you'll lose Matthew's

marble I want that Steely Diana it's too

big remember Newton's second law

The more mass the more force needed to

move it then I shall sh**t with great

force

[Music]

I did

I did I dare

mine

so who's next to play the champion

[Music]

what's wrong don't you want a chance to

win back your Marvels

maybe they don't want to risk being

cleaned out down to their last swirly

but where's their sense of excitement of

fun seems to me they were having fun

it's only marbles got out of hand and it

stopped being fun for them well if they

won't play it's no fun for me either

a little ball of glass and we make such

a big deal about it

[Music]

maybe things wouldn't have been perfect

if I'd won the Steely but everybody's

still mad for marbles so there's nothing

I can do about it is that so Somebody's

gotta break this Marble Madness dry out

I am powerless to stop the tide of

fashion

who says

maybe I should give it a shot one

thing's for sure I've got nothing to

lose thanks Triad

don't mention it

oh

and

you are we felt bad that you lost

everything we decided to each give you

one marble so you could still play

they're not the best in the world but

foreign

[Music]

now you can try and win your marbles

back

I'm moved by your kindness and

generosity but I can't accept them

scared to play me again no these marbles

are beautiful things but I've learned my

lesson I don't want to be a part of all

this craziness we're all jealous and

mean older kids taking advantage of

younger ones you're right

nothing's worth treating people badly

especially not a handful of glass

Gilbert you had no qualms about taking

Victoria's

Harry you sure enjoyed taking every last

one of Lloyd's marbles Felix I saw you

win all of Reese's Marbles and use some

dirty tricks to do it you're right

Felicity

and now I'd like to give them back what

Lloyd I see marbles in your future what

are you all doing I knew you'd come

around and friendships are more

important than marbles I could put the

whole story episode behind me if only I

didn't ache for one marble in particular

I'm certainly not giving back any of my

marbles

then I guess you'll just have to play by

yourself so long

see ya

but

but oh what the heck wait you can have

your silly marbles

[Music]

hi Anne hi Diana wanna play marbles

we're not playing for keeps I hate to

admit it but it's fun it sure is but

today we feel like something different

care to join us

oh and what do you say why not

[Music]

isn't this fun really Diana I can't

think why we had to wait so long to do

this

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Applause]
