I'll help you across.

Come on. Basy.

Basy. Real slow.

Grab that for me.

All right.

Dont look down.

Are you sure it's safe?

I'm sure it's safe.

It's ripe, it's lovely!

There you are, folks.

The finest watermelon at a penny

a slice. You cannot have finer.

There's the best you could

possibly have. Isn't that good?

Here you are. Wrap

yourselves around that.

Thank you very much.

You bet.

There you are, my dear.

- Isn't it wonderful?

- Yes.

Reverend Ford, Mrs. Ford,

nice to see ya.

We have a booth

over here.

There you are, sir. This beautiful,

soon-to-be patented rainbow maker.

Youre going to be very

happy with it, sir.

Hurry! Right this way,

ladies and gentlemen.

Well, where in the heck

have you been?

Well, they're looking

for you everywhere.

Go and get into your costume now.

Jimmy, go and have

some fun for yourself.

This way,

ladies and gentlemen!

Oh, that looks delicious,

Mrs. Lagerlof.

Thank you, Mrs. Leifer.

Just pay on the other side.

- There you go, my dear.

- Thank you, Mrs. Lagerlof.

Youre very welcome.

Pollyanna! Will you go and get into

your costume? They're waiting for you.

Now, who do you

suppose this is?

Mrs. Snow!

Here, here. Now, you can take this

and raffle it off.

You finished it. Oh, it's gorgeous!

Mrs. Snow, it's beautiful!

Hi, Millie.

Good evening, Mrs. Snow.

Darling, listen, honey,

youve gotta hurry.

- They're waiting for you.

- Och, quilt.

Well, I'll take it

to the quilt stand.

Now, you skedaddle as fast as you can

and put on your costume. Run!

A nice homemade patchwork quilt.

No home is complete without one.

Corn on the cob. There's

some salt over there.

Can I have some more?

Finish those first, then

come back and have some more.

Delicious corn on the cob.

- One?

- Right here.

Pollyanna,

will you hurry up?

Everybody else is dressed

and waiting for you.

But I never got a

chance to have any fun!

Oh, come on.

Yes, youll

win yourself a beautiful doll.

A beautiful doll if ya

fish in the fishing pond.

Step right up, folks!

I am not going to budge.

I've had just enough

of your nonsense.

Youre going to join

in with the others

and make this a

town, not a dynasty.

Get down out of that car, Amelia!

I'm warning you!

Move!

Good evening, folks.

Come on and fish

and wish for a surprise!

Now, you have to think about

what you want and wish very hard.

I understand.

I'm wishing.

Do you know what you want?

All right.

Hey, there she goes.

The young lady's going down after it.

What we gonna get there?

Come on. Step right in there, folks.

Fish in the magic fishing pond.

Everybody step right up here.

It's only two cents. Drop a line,

and fish for your surprise.

It's the most exciting game

at the bazaar. Come on, folks.

Fish and wish.

Get your bamboo pole here.

Two cents. Hey!

Lookee there!

The little lady just pulled up-

Oh, my gosh! Look!

She's mine.

Oh, how did they know?

Right here, step right up.

Well, Reverend,

show 'em how to do it.

No, I haven't pitched

since my college days.

Hey, Reverend, bet you couldnt hit

the broadside of a barn.

Yaaaaa!

Who is that?

Charley MacAndrews up there?

- What about it?

- Here, hold this.

Ah, leave your coat on.

Youre not gonna hit anything, anyhow.

Buy some corn

with the money.

You know, I've been trying to get

you baptized for the past three years!

And he throws... and misses again!

Look out, look out, look out!

I did it!

Oh, beautiful

for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain

America, America

God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good

with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea

Oh, beautiful

for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain

For purple mountain majesties

#Above the fruited plain

#America, America

God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good

with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea

Take you home again, Kathleen

Across the ocean

wild and wide

- Thank you. Good night.

- Good night.

Thanks for the ride.

Where your heart

has never been

Since first you were

my bonnie bride

The roses all have

left your cheeks

My heart just fades away

and dies

I'll take you home

again, Kathleen

I never! The way they

bought up those cakes.

It's a lot of money for that.

- What is it, mum?

- I thought I heard something.

Lord, have mercy!

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, Angelica, call

the doctor quickly.

Oh, my God.

If you dont mind,

I'd like to speak to all of

you in the salon for a moment.

Nancy, when Miss Pollyanna

feels better,

I want you to move

all of my clothes

and my personal belongings

into the next room.

- Yes, ma'am.

- I want her to stay where she is.

It's a larger room,

and it has a much nicer view.

And it looks as though she's going

to have to remain there

for quite some time.

You might as well know that

Pollyannas legs are paralyzed.

She doesnt know it yet,

and I dont know exactly

how I'm going to tell her.

I... just dont know how

I'm going to tell her.

I came as soon as I heard.

How is the child?

Pollyanna!

Come on down and play!

Pollyanna!

We'll go swimming.

Want to?

- Pollyanna!

- Boy! Boy!

Boy, boy, stop that. Stop that.

Now, you go away from here.

But I want to play

with Pollyanna.

Pollyanna can't play

because she's had an accident.

Now, you go on home

like a good boy.

Go on, hurry up.

Go on.

Hurry up. Go on.

God works in ways

mysterious to man.

Dont speak to me

about God!

Say what you think!

I can see it in your eyes.

- They blame me, dont they?

- No, no. Nobodys blaming you.

But it's true,

isn't it?

I could have been

the least bit understanding.

That child lies up there

because of me.

Polly, the mercy of God

is forgiving-

Oh, what kind of a

merciful God could allow

a thing like this

to happen to a child?

And if He were merciful,

why did He let her come to our town?

Let me tell you something,

Polly Harrington.

Sunday a miracle

happened in this town.

Oh, this town!

Yes, this town.

Right out there in that street the

people are smiling at one another.

Go on, take a look for yourself.

It's very contagious.

Just think, Polly.

If she had never come to this town-

We ought to get down on our knees

and thank God for sending her to us.

Excuse me, mum.

Dr. Chilton wants to see you.

Now, you understand everything

I told you, dont you, dear?

And there's nothing

to be afraid of.

- What is it, Edmond?

- I told Pollyanna about her injury.

She understands.

Dont you, dear?

We're gonna take you to Baltimore

for an operation so

you can walk again.

You hear that, honey?

Now, why dont we all

cheer up.

Let's see if we can't find something

to be glad about your staying in bed.

Um... ch, I know!

This way we can all have

steak and ice cream!

Did you know that your aunt

ordered it for you?

Now you find something

to be glad about.

We'll play the game.

Well...

I suppose I could

be glad because-

Yes, go ahead, darling.

No. It was a silly game.
