Little Princess Sara (1985–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Indo kara no tegami - full transcript
Within a corner of my heart blossoms
A little flower that has no name
In sad times, if you put a single red flower petal...
in the corner of your eye...
...the tears would surly disappear
Whenever I think about crying
Just making a sound makes me cry
As long as there is this flower in my heart
My strength with spring forth with a thought
The prince of the sea fell in love...
..with the princess of the sea in the glowing palace by the sea
They lived happily ever after
Sara's stories are so wonderful
It's almost like I was the princess!
I am the same way. When I read the story from the book...
I would imagine myself as the main character
It is our ability to imagine things that makes story books so wonderful
Yeah! Yeah!
It is true. I hope that I can enjoy reading books more
Of course you can, Ermengarde!
You did like the book, right?
You all are annoying I have had enough
This is a stupid way to play
Mamma said that telling stories like that is a bad habit
Lottie, do not cry
You think you are pretty and wonderful
You even fancy yourself a princess to boot!
That is only in your imagination!
I never said that I thought of myself as a princess
Yeah! Sara is just my mamma!
You are annoying! Be quiet, crybaby!
I'm not a crybaby!
I've got Sara-mamma!
You said "Sara-mamma". What a joke
Even if she becomes your mamma, your real mamma is not coming back!
That is cruel!
Lottie has gone through a lot!
Lavinia, why are you saying such cruel things to someone this young?
Hmmph! You dare lecture someone older than you because you are the class representative?
I did not mean that
Lavinia is being mean!
Are you okay, Lottie?
What are you doing?
I would like to express my displeasure with you right now
Ha! Are you going to strike me?
Yes. I would like to strike you really hard
I would like to see you try
I have just done so... in my heart
It is fine... for now
You do not have to cry any more, Lottie
Don't cry, Lottie!
They're gone
Lavinia was being mean!
Maybe this is my fault
Sara, why did you not hit her?
Yeah! It would have been nice if you hit her
I did, in my heart, and then I forgave her
Why?
If I could really be like a real princess, that would be nice
Eh?
So, in times like this, I can talk to her like how a princess would do so
Wow! Incredible, Sara!
So, everyone... do you all want to throw a party?
Eh?
It will be a party so I can become friends with everyone here at the seminary
Of course, I shall invite Lavinia and the others
Eh? Uhh...
I shall go ask for permission from the headmistress
Oh my... in your room?
You want to held the party in your room?
Yes, ma'am
Therefore, I would like to ask for permission to step out and buy things for the party
That sounds like a good idea. There are some things that I want to talk to you...
I see
Since you are the class representative, I feel that it is...
..not necessarily a bad thing to become friends with everybody
I give you special permission
Thank you very much, Headmistress!
Sara!
How did it go?
You and I are going shopping
Lottie, you can go ahead and tell everyone else
Wow! Yay!
Hmm... I would like sixteen slices of the chocolate cake covered in walnuts...
Then, I would like one big meat pie over there
Do you only need one meat pie, young lady?
Yes, sir. Package them separately, please
Understood, young lady
So, why? Why do you only want one meat pie?
It is for another good friend
Eh...
It's cold, you dimwit!
Oww...
P-Please forgive me!
Why... you fool!
You little...
Becky! How many more mistakes are you going to end up making?
Listen up! You are to have no supper tonight
Hurry and clean this up!
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Whoa!
Thank you, Peter!
Say... it seems like everyone is heading over to Sara's room
The kids in the other rooms are all there! I wonder what is going on?
Well, she is going to exclude three of us
I would like to see what she is going to do
I would like to see her try to do what she is doing!
I am going to let her know who is the real class representative here!
Ah, come in!
Pardon the intrusion for a bit...
I am having a tea party up in my room for everyone
Would all of you like to come?
Se, I will be waiting for you!
She is using this tea party to manipulate people's feelings
She did not exclude us from the party!
Ah yes! Sara does have her good points
Yes! Since she became class representative, she has not acted proud in any way
Ahh!
Uhh... no... I was not talking about you...
You two... like Sara instead of me, do you?
You are mistaken!
That is not the case, Lavinia!
Go to Sara's tea party
It does not matter to me
We will go take a look
We will be back soon
Emily is so cute!
Hello!
How do you do?
Sara, this is a great tea time!
I am so happy that everyone is here making this place lively!
Say, Sara-mamma... may Emily have some tea
Yes, of course!
Coming!
Welcome! Please come in!
Please come inside!
Where is Lavinia?
I think she does not want to come
Oh my...
You should know by now that she hates you
Y-Yes
Say, Sara... to tell you the truth, we also do not like Lavinia
Eh?
That is because she is too proud
If you do not do what she says, she will pick on you in particular!
Therefore, we have decided to become friends with you
I really hate Lavinia!
You should not say things like that
I was hoping that with this party, I could be friends with Lavinia as well
Eh? You must be joking!
I do not believe it!
Why, Sara!
Then it is decided! I shall go and personally bring Lavinia here
Eh? That might be hard, Sara!
Wait, Sara!
Welcome, Lavinia. I have been waiting for you
I have saved a seat for you. Please come in
I am not here to attend your party as a guest
I am here to tell you the truth
The truth?
I want to tell you why you became class representative my place
Lavinia, if you want to say that, you do not have to say it now
How about if you told me that later?
No. I want to say it in front of everyone
Do you know?
The reason why you became class representative...
...is not that you are better than I am
The reason is that you are from a rich family!
Therefore, the greedy Headmistress Minchin would...
Lavinia...
S-So... how is everyone doing?
Should this be a bit livelier?
Uhh... yes, ma'am
Sara...
Yes, ma'am...
Your father has sent you a letter from India
Thank you very much, Miss Amelia!
Wow! That's great, Sara! Read it! Please read it to us!
Of course!
That is a good ideal Sara, if you do not mind, can you read it for everyone?
Sara! Emily wants you to read it!
Am I right, Emily?
I understand, Lottie
Oh, my... Papa is...
Say, say... what is it with your Papa, Sara
Well, Papa is engaged in a now business venture with a friend of his
Oh my... what kind of a business venture
According to what is written here, the business venture involves diamond mines
Eh? How incredible!
Wow! Sara, does that mean your father will soon become a diamond king?
Oh my. That surely cannot be the case!
Of course! Of course! Then Sara will become a diamond princess! Wow!
Congratulations, Sara. What an incredible letter
I will go to the headmistress immediately and tell her the good news
Eh? You are telling this to the headmistress
Incredible, Sara! You are going to be a rich girl
You're wrong! She's going to be a princess
Oh, how incredible!
We are leaving!
Jessie! Gertrude!
Yes!
We are leaving!
Okay
What did you say?
Sara's father... I mean, Captain Crewe, he...
Yes, Sister!
The letter said that he was investing in really valuable diamond mines!
You said "diamond mines"?
Yes! In addition, Sara would inherit these mines
It is as you said! This seminary has an incredible backer!
Sister... are you listening?
That girl is going to inherit these diamond mines..
Yes!
Oh! Does that mean that she will become the richest young lady in the world?
The students are all talking about it
It even feels like a dream to me!
Me too! To drive the carriage for a princess of diamonds would be great!
It is great that you two are her personal servants
We'll have to be even friendlier to her now!
Huh? What are you still doing ever there?
Are you always going to sit there? You're not getting any supper tonight
Hurry up and polish the Students shoes!
Are you slow? Hurry up and go do it!
Becky...
Miss!
Shh!
I was waiting for you to pass my room
Thank you very much, Miss
Please have a seat
Please wait a moment
Here is a meat pie. Please enjoy it it with all your heart!
Please have a bite
Oh my... What is wrong? I thought you would like it
Wow! It's delicious!
I got no dinner as punishment for messing up today
The cake that you gave me last time was so delicious as well
But, it seems to have already I melted in my stomach?
However, I'm happy that I can I keep this in my stomach
I see
I have never experienced hunger like that before
...but I would definitely have trouble enduring it
Why, Miss! I'll make sure that you're never hungry!
Miss, while I was downstairs I heard the story about the diamonds!
Eh?
Congratulations! You're going to become a princess, Miss!
I'm really happy!
Becky, I am unable to fantasize being happy about it like everyone else
Eh?
I would be happy if Papa succeeds in his business venture
However I will not change just because of that
No matter what, I will be the same Sara that I always am
Miss...
Ah... oh no...
If we keep talking like this, you would not be able to get enough sleep
Yes, Miss! In that case, I'll take the rest of this up to my room to enjoy
Of course! Go right ahead!
However, I need to be careful when I eat it
If any crumbs fall to the floor, the rats would show up
Oh my... there are rats in your room?
Yes! There are rats up in the attic
However, I'm used to the sound of rats running around
As long as they don't get close to my pillow, I'll be fine
I
Oh my. How did you get used to it?
Miss, that's because I was raised in a poor home
You learn to get used to things like that when you're poor
Becky who lives in the attic...
Me, who everyone is talking about because of Papa's diamond mines...
Even though we had different fates when we were born...
I felt a deep sorrow in my heart
When Miss Minchin was told about the diamond mines...
..She was happy to arrange for a birthday party for me
She went out into the city to purchase gifts for me
Next time on "A Little Princess Sara"
"Two Gifts"
Please watch it next time!
"Himawari"
As I go down the distant road, a song is sung close by
I pick the flowers by the side of the road
To where does the road lead? No one knows
As I move forward, I refuse to look behind me
Being scared originates in my garden
The sunflowers are laughing
It does not matter when I am going to see the sun
Ah it’s Mothers voice...
Ah it’s Fathers voice...
Ah, it’s talking in my ear again...
I'm am not going to be defeated!
A little flower that has no name
In sad times, if you put a single red flower petal...
in the corner of your eye...
...the tears would surly disappear
Whenever I think about crying
