No, no. They don't want that.
Lay it over there.
First, I'm going to cut out this border.
H-Helen?
H-Helen!
Stop!
Helen!
Stop it, Helen.
Why she stick her fingers in my mouth?
Because she mad at you talking all day when she can't hear nothing.
If she can't hear, then how she know talk coming out of my mouth?
I think she tying to talk.
Now she gone crazy,
eating herself.
You stop that.
Helen, stop it.
Helen. Helen!
Stop it. Ohh!
Help! Help!
Helen's trying to kill us! She tying to kill us again!
Helen?
Helen.
Stop it, Helen. Stop it.
Stop it.
OK, OK, give mother the scissors.
Helen.
Helen, give mother the scissors.
Helen.
OK.
There, now.
OK.
That's my pretty girl, huh?
Well, Father,
I hope you got your story ready.
What story is that?
The one you're going to tell when the little savage kills somebody.
"Your honor,
I had no idea that poor deaf and dumb child could be so violent."
Your sister is none of your concern, James.
Don't you have some occasion you need to dress for?
Why don't I ever meet any of your young friends, James?
How can I invite people here?
But surely your friends don't think that Helen is any reflection on you.
Helen is the real head of this house.
She's probably just pretending she can't speak or hear
so she don't have to answer to anyone.
Your jealousy of that helpless child is intolerable.
Auntie.
Oh, well, here we are.
Here's Father
and Aunt Ev.
Ha ha.
I saw James.
I hope the two of you weren't quarreling again.
No, no.
Oh, Katie, we all love Helen,
but surely you must see what an effect she is having on your household.
Why, James and Arthur can barely speak a civil word,
and all your time is given over to the girl.
You hardly ever have time for your new baby.
James is right.
You and Arthur must do something... and soon.
What can we do, Evelyn?
The only thing left to do is to take Helen to an asylum,
and Kate would never stand for it.
Well, have you tried...
We have taken her to every hospital in 2 states.
No one holds out any hope.
what about that Dr. Chisolm up in Baltimore?
I read an article in your very own newspaper, Arthur.
They say he has cured
many cases of blindness that other doctors have given up on.
Now, why not write to him?
And have Kate's heart broken again?
I'm prepared for my heart to break any number of times, Captain.
I'll write to him myself if you like, Katie.
There isn't going to be any cure,
and the sooner we accept that fact,
the better off we'll all be.
I will never accept it, Captain.
I can't.
I'm going to the printers.
Now look. I can't turn my back for a moment.
Arthur, Helen knows a lot more than you think about what goes on in this house.
Nothing is solved by running all over the county every
time some quack doctor gets his name in the papers.
Nothing is solved by running to the office, either.
Hmm.
Kate, darling,
what can anyone do?
The kindest thing we could do would be to find a sanitarium
in a beautiful spot where she could be taken care of.
No. No, never.
Oh! She tore off my buttons.
Ohh!
It's eyes.
She wants the doll... She wants the doll to have eyes.
I'm sorry, Evelyn.
Just tell me what it'll cost to have the buttons replaced, and I'll...
I know she does.
Oh, don't mind about that.
What are a couple of buttons if it makes Helen happy?
I'll sew them on if you like.
Is that what you're trying to do?
Make Helen happy?
Nothing makes her happy.
Everything you give her only makes her worse.
She can have these little things that make her happy.
Oh, Helen!
The baby!
Helen...
Listen, you cannot do things like that, OK?
Why? She can have the little things that make her happy.
If you won't send her away,
then we must find some way of confining her.
What, you want to lock her away in the attic like some sort of mad woman?
She wants to talk.
Helen, come here.
It's OK.
Aah!
It's OK. Look, I know.
All right.
I'll write to Dr. Chisolm.
Dr. Chisolm could do nothing for the girl and
referred them to Dr. Alexander Graham Bell.
As the girl is young, and the parents are not willing to send her to us,
I have put you up for the role of governess.
Governess?
Or nursemaid.
We both knew you'd get rid of me one of these days.
You've accomplished so much here.
But when you first came to us, you couldn't even spell your name.
Are your eyes still so painful?
No. It's my ears, sir.
Tell me about the child.
Is she bright...
or dull?
Can she be taught?
She's given to tantrums, they say.
So am I.
Maybe you should warn the Kellers about me.
I've told them nothing of your history except your qualifications for the job.
Here is the money for your train ticket.
And here is a gift from all of us,
with our love.
We're going to miss you.
This is my last chance to counsel you, Annie.
You lack tact
and the talent to bend to others.
You're hard to fool and harder to please,
but all the same, we are proud of you.
We're off to meet the train again.
Well, I hope the girl is on this one.
Oh, she will be.
Well, we'll see you at supper, then.
Giddy up.
Your mother's not here, child.
I'm here, though.
I'm your father.
I used to swing you through the air,
and you weren't even 2 years of age yet.
I wonder if you remember any of that...
or any of us.
Here you are.
There's a piece of candy for you.
Mm-hmm.
You want your mama, don't you, missy?
Captain Keller, wouldn't like this if he saw
it, but what's one little candy going to hurt?
Watch your step, sir.
Ma'am.
Don't worry about it, sir.
Miss Sullivan?
Yes.
I'm James Keller.
I had a brother, Jimmie.
Are you Helen's...
Half brother. Do you have a trunk?
Yes.
Henry, Percy.
Miss Sullivan.
I'm so relieved. We were beginning to get a little bit worried about you.
The man who sold me that ticket ought to be tied to the tracks.
I'm Katherine Keller. I'm Helen's mother.
You didn't bring Helen.
I was hoping you would.
Well her father wanted to spend the afternoon with her, actually.
They so enjoy their time together.
Kate, you should be ashamed.
Miss Sullivan, you'll find that in the south we make up
these little stories just to amuse each other.
I hope you won't mind.
How much can a blind and deaf child learn, g餴ce Sullivan?
I don't know.
Does she communicate with you at all?
Oh, well, I always know what she wants if that's what you mean.
No, you don't.
All anybody knows that if you give Helen
a piece of candy, she'll be quiet for a while.
Can you teach her to sit still, g餴ce Sullivan?
I'd have to teach her language first.
Language?
If she doesn't know words, how could she know why you want her to sit still?
Miss Sullivan, perhaps you were misled as to Helen's condition.
She can neither see nor hear.
But if it is her senses that are impaired
and not her mind,
she must have language.
Language is more important to the mind
than light is to the eye.
But how will you teach her if you can't talk to her?
Anyway I can.
We are going to do everything that we can to help you.
I don't want you to think of us as strangers, g餴ce Annie.
Strangers aren't so strange to me.
I've been around them all my life.
Watch your step.
Welcome to Ivy Green, g餴ce Sullivan.
I trust you had a good journey.
I had several. Thank you.
Where's Helen?
Oh, g餴ce Annie?
We've put you in the upstairs corner room.
Now, if there is any breeze at all this summer, you're going to feel it.
I'll take my suitcase, thanks.
I have it, g餴ce Sullivan.
No, please, let me.
I wouldn't think of it.
I have something in it for Helen.
I needn't to be treated like a guest.
Now, when may I see Helen?
Well, there she is.
That's Helen.
She seems very rough, Kate.
Why didn't she take her glasses off?
Well the institute said that the light hurts her eyes.
Apparently, she was nearly blind as a child.
Blind?
Well, she's had 9 operations on her eyes.
And they expect one blind person to teach another one?
How long was she employed at that school?
Well, she... she wasn't employed there.
She was one of their best students.
Student?
Now you have 2 blind girls to take care of, Father.
You stay out of this.
James...
why do you have to be so mean about Helen?
Why, to confirm my father's view of me, of course.
Those are mine.
Yes, yes.
All right, then, Helen.
"Doll" will be your first word.
It's as good as any.
" D..."
"O..."
" L..."
" L."
Doll.
It has a name.
"D..."
"O..."
"L..."
Thank you, Henry.
Thank you, Percy.
So, what was that?
Some sort of game?
It's an alphabet for the deaf.
Each letter has a sign.
"D..."
"O..."
"L..."
"L."
Doll.
First, she will learn to imitate.
" D", "O..."
Ah!
Oh, she can imitate things, all right...
like a regular little monkey.
A bright little monkey.
Mmm...
" D."
I think she wants her doll back.
She can have it back when she spells it.
She has no idea what words even are.
How can she spell them?
If her fingers learn the letters now,
then maybe someday
her brain will learn that they have a meaning.
Did you make up this alphabet?
Me? No.
Spanish monks under a vow of silence,
which, Mr. James, I wish you would take.
"C..."
"A..."
"K..."
"E."
Cake.
"C..."
"A..."
"K..."
"E."
Very good.
Cake.
"D..."
"O..."
"L..."
"L."
"D..."
"O..."
"L..."
"L."
Very good, Helen.
Very good.
Good first lesson.
Very well done. Very well done.
Ohh! Ohh!
Helen!
Let me out, you wicked girl.
Helen!
Ohh!
Unh.
Ohh. And I wondered if she was bright.
She's the brightest one in this house.
Where is Miss Annie?
She's in her room.
Didn't anyone call her to supper?
James, go upstairs and bring her down.
Certainly. I'll get the ladder.
What?
I'll need a ladder. It won't take long.
What are you talking about?
Well, Helen locked her in her room and run off with the key.
And I suppose you are going to sit there and say nothing.
You told me it was none of my business, Father.
I was just trying to respect your wishes.
Miss Sullivan, are you in there?
Yes, sir, I'm in here.
Isn't there a key on your side?
For God's sake.
No, sir. There's no key, sir.
Put that ladder away, Jimmy.
Whatever you say, Father.
Captain, we can't keep Miss Annie locked up until we find the key.
James.
Bring the ladder back.
Whatever you say, Father.
I hired her to solve problems, not create them.
Hold it, Jimmy.
Thank you, Percy.
Miss Sullivan!
Yes, Captain Keller?
I hope this is not a sample of what we can expect of you.
Come out and sit on my shoulder.
I'm perfectly capable of going down a ladder by myself.
Do as I say, g餴ce Sullivan.
Ohh.
Very chivalrous of you.
This is not chivalry. This is practicality.
You're no good to us trapped in a room.
Ooh.
Not in the house 10 minutes.
Honestly, I don't see how you managed it.
I'll look for the key, sir.
Thank you. Just don't look in any rooms that can be locked.
All right, everyone. Excitement's over.
I'd better leave the L-A-D-D-E-R.
Oh, you little devil.
If you think you can get rid of me that easily, you're wrong.
I have nothing better to do
and nowhere else to go.
To the best of my knowledge,
no one in this house
has ever tried to control the girl,
but...
how can I discipline her without breaking her spirit?
But...
if she won't obey me...
Oh!
Ohh.
Tsk.
Ink.
It has a name.
Pen.
No, Helen.
Ohh!
Bad...
girl.
No. Never you mind, g餴ce Annie. It's... It's not the first.
No, Helen.
The Captain thinks that your spelling everything that Helen does
is like spelling to a fence post.
You talk to the baby, don't you?
Does she understand what you mean?
Not yet, but she will someday
if she hears enough words.
I'm letting Helen hear the words.
How long will it take?
A million words, maybe.
Pen.
Did you see that?
I spelled "pen."
She spelled "cake."
She wants to see if I can tell the difference.
There's is nothing impaired in that head, g餺 Keller.
Helen is smart... and angry.
I can use that.
Can you teach me those letters?
I'll start tomorrow.
If both of us are spelling to her,
that makes only about half a million words each.
Ow! Helen!
Helen.
Why does she get a reward for stabbing me?
I... I don't know.
I'm... I'm sorry.
Miss Sullivan,
breakfast is ready.
Shall I get the ladder?
That's enough, Jimmy.
Oh, good morning, g餴ce Annie.
Good morning.
Morning.
I hope you've settled in comfortably, g餴ce Sullivan.
Thank you, Captain. I have.
Please, help yourself.
Miss Annie, if there is ever anything that you need, please let us know.
Tobacco prices are up, Father.
We should earn a nice profit this year for a change.
It used to be that a man could make a good living running a farm.
Well, perhaps if you'd leave your pet newspaper and come show me my business,
...we could make some real money.
Not in front of Miss Sullivan.
Why not in front of Miss Sullivan?
Miss Annie,
Helen is used to helping herself from our plates.
I'm afraid I'm not used to it.
No, of course not.
Viney, please bring Miss Sullivan another plate.
There's nothing wrong with my plate, Captain,
only that Helen's hands don't belong in it.
One plate is hardly worth spoiling our breakfast over.
You see, she's just going to keep trying until she gets her way.
I must insist that you let the girl go.
Thank you.
- - Oh!
Oh, look, now she's hurt herself.
No, she hasn't. I know a tantrum when I see one
and a badly spoiled child.
Miss Sullivan.
Please, show some pity.
For this kind of behavior?
Pity's the one thing she doesn't need.
The whole house waits on her hand and foot.
Hear, hear. -You stay out of this.
Letting Helen have her own way... it's really such a small thing.
Small? It's seems you've all decided
it's easier to feel sorry for Helen
than to teach her how to behave.
Well, I've not seen that you've taught her anything yet, g餴ce Sullivan.
Quite right, Captain. Well observed.
I'll start right now if you'll leave the room.
Leave the room?
Yes. Please, Captain.
Right now, if you'll leave the room.
Miss Sullivan...
If you're not willing to stand up to
one tantrum, I cannot teach her anything.
Mrs. Keller, you asked if there was anything I needed.
Yes, but I..
I need to be alone with Helen.
Right now.
Miss Sullivan...
Captain.
James.
Captain, may I speak with you outside?
Give us a moment, please.
Oh...
This is absurd.
Arthur, I'm sure that she is only trying to do what is best.
I will not have my house turned into a circus.
Unless there is a change in attitude, g餴ce Sullivan is dismissed.
Arthur, and then what hope do we have for Helen?
No less than we had before,
and then perhaps we can regain some quiet.
Ow!
Shh. Shh.
Ohh!
Shh, shh, shh.
Helen.
Oh, God.
Good.
What you want me to do, g餴ce Kate?
It's noon time, and the breakfast dishes ain't been cleared.
Hush, now.
Come on.
Shh.
Helen...
ate from her own plate
with a spoon
all by herself...
and she folded her napkin.
The room's a wreck,
but she folded her napkin.
I'll be in my room, g餺 Keller.
Shh, shh.
Oh, Helen.
Don't be long now, g餴ce Annie.
Lunch going to be ready right away.
Mm-hmm.
My Helen folded her napkin.
What are you reading?
Dr. Howe's account of his patient Laura Bridgman.
She was deaf. blind, and mute from the age of 2.
Did he succeed with her?
He did.
Then it is possible.
With patience, I suppose...
something they did not give me a certificate for at Perkins.
After this morning's lesson...
the Captain wants me to dismiss you,
but I am going to insist that you remain.
Thank you.
Where is your family, g餴ce Annie?
My brother Jimmie was the last I had.
He died 12 years ago.
I'm sorry. I..
I tried to protect him.
I failed.
It's no use trying to protect or speak for other people.
Not really.
The only hope
is to teach them to do it for themselves.
That's what I'm trying to do with Helen.
What you demand of her now
is all she'll ever be.
Step.
Captain.
And if what happened this morning wasn't enough,
Helen can't stand to be near her.
Things have gotten worse,
and I want you to give her notice.
No.
Well, if you won't, I must.
Good evening, Captain, g餺 Keller.
Uh...
Miss Sullivan...
I find that I am not satisfied with this...
That is, this arrangement...
Will you please take off your glasses?
I find it very difficult to speak to you with them on.
Well, of course.
If you must, keep them on.
Now, g餴ce Sullivan...
Please tell me, Captain, is the little house
in the grove of trees being used for anything?
The garden house?
This is just what I am talking about.
Miss Sullivan, if you expect to stay on here,
there must be a change in your manner.
And you must convince me that there is the slightest hope
of teaching a child who flees from you like the plague.
You could show some sympathy.
You're absolutely right, Captain.
There is not the slightest possibility
of teaching a child who runs away from me.
It is hopeless here, and the sooner we realize that,
the sooner we can get to a solution.
It is not hopeless!
Helen could talk by the time she was 10 months old.
Before this illness, she was such a good child.
Yes, she was an extraordinary child.
I believe that,
but she's not that child anymore.
I've seen pets behave better than she does
and it's your pity that's the cause of it.
I beg your pardon!
I'm afraid your love for Helen
is a greater handicap to her than her blindness or her deafness.
Annie, before you came, we spoke of putting Helen in an asylum.
Please don't give up.
Obviously, g餴ce Sullivan thinks it's hopeless.
Here! It's hopeless here!
I'm only just beginning!
Please let me show you.
Please follow me.
God knows what this has to do with anything.
This is ridiculous.
I believe I can only make progress with Helen
If I have complete charge of her.
But you already have that.
No. I mean day and night.
She must depend on me.
For what?
For everything! Her food, her clothes her play time, her sweets.
All of these things are tools
that I can use to reach her.
And how do you propose to do that when she runs away from you?
If she can run to you, I have no hope.
Which is why I must live with her somewhere else.
You can bring Helen here after a long carriage ride.
She won't know where she is,
and you can still see her every day,
provided she does not know you're here.
How long would you keep her?
As long as it takes.
I know this is the way!
And, Captain, I cannot be rude to you
if you're not around to interfere with me.
Am I to understand that if I say no to this,
you will abandon your charge to an asylum?
An asylum is no place for Helen, Captain.
Believe me, I know.
I grew up in an asylum...
in the state poorhouse,
my brother and I... until it took his life.
Our playroom was the dead house where they
kept the bodies until they could dig the graves.
It made me strong,
but Helen is strong enough already.
Please give me this chance.
Give her this chance to save herself.
Miss Sullivan, do you like this child?
Do you?
Captain...
with your permission.
I'll give you 2 weeks.
You have 2 weeks to get the child to tolerate you.
Percy could stay here. He could run errands for you.
2 weeks is not enough.
2 weeks is what I am offering.
I'll take it.
Where would you like your suitcase, g餴ce Sullivan?
Oh, anywhere is fine.
How do you expect to win her over in this place?
You plan to tie her to the chair?
How is it you have no pity for Helen?
To have pity for someone is a waste of energy.
Feeling sorry for ourselves is even worse.
Well, I hope you win, g餴ce Sullivan.
Well, we rode in the country for 2 hours.
For all she knows she could be in another town.
Bring her inside, please.
Oh, she wants me.
She can have you back in 2 weeks.
Miss Annie, please take good care of her.
I will.
Aah! Hush, hush, hush.
Hush, hush.
Oh.
Percy!
Wake up. I need your help.
Ohh.
Try again.
Good.
Let me go.
She gonna pinch me.
I think she's trying to talk.
She can talk, but she's got to use her hands.
Here. Let me show you.
Aah!
She's mad at me now, so she doesn't want
to play, but she knows a lot of letters.
"C..."
"A..."
"K..."
"E."
Cake.
"C..."
"A..."
"K..."
"E."
She spells cake, she gets cake.
She doesn't know what the word means yet...
but she will.
Percy.
We don't need her.
How would you like to learn one she doesn't know?
"M" is easy.
"I" is even easier... Just the pinkie up.
"L."
" K."
" M." Why should I talk to you? I'm teaching Percy.
M-I-L-K.
No.
I'm teaching Percy.
Ooh, you're jealous.
"M..."
"I..."
"L..."
"K."
At least I'm back to where I can touch you.
You can go back to bed, Percy.
Thank you.
I never thought that life could be so quiet.
I miss her, too.
鈾?Hush, little baby鈾?
鈾?Don't say a word 鈾?
鈾?Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird 鈾?
鈾?If that mockingbird don't sing 鈾?
鈾?Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring 鈾?
Annie.
I can't sleep, Annie.
There are rats in my room.
Can't we live somewhere else?
We don't have anywhere else, Jimmie.
Please, can I sleep with you?
Just for tonight.
鈾?Hush, little baby鈾?
鈾?Don't say a word 鈾?
鈾?Mama's gonna buy you 鈾?
鈾狝 mockingbird 鈾?
鈾?And if that Mockingbird 鈾?
Doesn't sing?
鈾?Mama's gonna buy you,
鈾?A diamond ring 鈾?
Flower.
Leaf.
Water.
No.
Not "apple."
Water.
Why is it so hard to understand?
We were just about to have lunch.
How is she, g餴ce Annie?
Fine.
I taught her that stitch yesterday.
Now I can't get her to stop.
It's so quiet in the house without her.
Well, when the Captain and James aren't bickering, that is.
I noticed they don't get along.
Oh, well, they used to when James mother was alive.
But then Helen came along, and...
well, she takes up so much of our attention.
Soup.
Ooh, such a lady.
She'd rather starve than eat without a spoon.
You have taught her so much in a week and a half.
It's not enough.
Obedience is not enough.
She knows so many words.
If only she knew what they meant.
And how will she learn?
The way a bird learns to use its wings. It has to come.
But how, g餴ce Annie?
I...
need...
more...
time.
Alone with her?
Yes.
Why not?
Because I can't... I..
Spell it.
If she ever learns,
you're the first person she's going to want to talk to.
She...
needs...
me.
She needs me, too.
No.
You have 3 days, Annie.
That's all you have.
E-G-G.
Egg.
The word is the thing.
It has a name.
Bird.
The bird is coming out of its shell, Helen.
You... You come out, too.
Ohh.
Well, Francis,
I believe we're onto something here.
Father?
Hello, Francis. James.
Captain.
Thought I'd come take a look around.
We had an idea last year and tried something,
and it looks like 22 inches between the plants gives us about twice the yield.
Twice the yield?
We had that blue mold pretty bad last year, sir.
We think it's carrying over the winter in the roots
so we're going to try to get all the roots
and stalks out of the ground after the harvest.
Well, with the roots gone, we get a bad rain,
we stand to lose a whole layer of topsoil.
Well, I was thinking of that, too.
Let's plant some low grass for the winter.
Look for some, would you, Francis?
Did you need something, Father?
I think I have it, Jimmy.
Sorry to interrupt.
Horse.
Horse...
eats...
apple.
How I have waited for this day.
I only hope we won't be disappointed.
Helen doesn't ever disappoint you, Father.
Why are you jealous, James?
I'm not jealous.
I'm envious.
It's not only Helen who needs to learn how to talk.
Things will be very different here if Helen is better.
I know.
Who will I blame then for my unhappiness?
If only there was someone to help me.
I feel I need a teacher as much as Helen does.
Whoa.
Ohh.
Captain.
Miss Sullivan, I've brought Helen a playmate.
A kind of graduation present.
Please, wait outside, Captain.
Dog.
Well, g餴ce Sullivan,
the 2 weeks are up.
Not until 5:00pm.
Oh, what difference can half a day make?
You don't know how eager we are to have her back.
I do know.
It's my main concern.
You've done wonders for her,
and you've done us a great service.
I've actually missed her.
I owe that debt to you.
Pay it to Helen, Captain.
Give her another week.
Look what you've done for her already.
She's well-behaved. She seems quite contented. Certainly cleaner.
She's cleaner?
Is that what you care about?
She's learning to talk, Captain.
The words are in her fingers already.
I can't risk her unlearning it when she goes back to her old life in the house.
Oh, look.
What is she spelling?
Water.
Miss Sullivan...
that dog doesn't know what words are any more than she does.
The dog's happy enough, though.
God may not have meant for Helen to speak, g餴ce Sullivan.
I mean her to, Captain.
Give her half a week.
You have until 5:00 pm.
Kate cannot bear to be separated from her for another night.
Where is she?
Your Miss Sullivan insisted on keeping her until 5:00 pm.
No.
Not "water."
Dog.
This...
This... This is water.
How do I make her understand?
How do I tell you?
I don't know anything.
They're satisfied.
Give them back their child
and their dog...
both housebroken.
Everyone's satisfied.
Everyone but me...
and you.
Reach!
Oh, what I wanted to give you, Helen.
Everything in the earth, everything that we are, what we dream of.
what we leave behind,
what we think and feel and know and share...
it's all in words.
If I could give you one word...
One word, I could give you everything.
Wool.
It means this.
Chair.
Napkin.
Dress.
Face.
Ohh.
Tears.
Let's bring her home.
Hmm?
Let's put your things away.
Put them away.
Good.
You are going home.
Helen...
is going home.
That's right. Put your things away.
Whoa.
How is she?
Please. Please give me more time.
I can't.
Helen?
Ohh.
Helen.
Ohh.
Oh.
Annie I'm so hot, Annie! Can you bring me some water? Annie
I have to go to him!
He's got no one on the earth but me!
Do you think I want an epidemic on my hands?
Annie!
You can't Jimmie!
Annie
Jimmie!
We're doing the best we can.
I'll come and get you when I can.
Jimmie!
Annie
I tried, but they wouldn't let me in.
Annie
Annie -Jimmie!
Jimmie!
Annie
May I escort you?
I'm not very good company right now.
Oh, I didn't come to keep you company.
I came to keep you from getting lost in the dark.
Maybe that's just what I was looking to do.
Are you feeling sorry for yourself. G餴ca Sullivan?
Just this once.
Yes.
My father has a great respect for you,
and that's not easily earned.
He fought at Vicksburg.
He edits the newspaper.
And he's always daring you to measure up.
If you have any advice for me,
I wouldn't mind hearing it.
I never really had a father, so I'm the last person to ask,
but you've got to stand up to the world.
That's all I know.
Well, what if he's the world?
Then you can just look around, James, and see how much bigger it really is.
He's a man, James. That's all.
So are you.
Aunt Evelyn. Well, come in. Come in.
It is so good to see you.
You have come and see our Helen now.
The sweet child.
Miss Sullivan must be a wonder.
Miss Sullivan.
I've brought you your first month's salary.
You've done quite a job.
You've taken a wild thing and given us back a child.
I taught Helen one thing...
"No."
Don't do this. Don't do that.
I wanted to teach her "yes."
Well, you'll have all the time you need now.
Will you help me, Captain?
Yes. How?
Don't undo what I've done.
The world is not an easy place for anyone.
To give Helen her way in everything
is a lie to her.
You've got to stand between her and that lie.
Don't give in.
We're certainly going to try.
I used to wonder how I would earn a living.
Now, the question is, can I survive it?
I'll see you at supper.
Oh...
we glad to have you back, missy.
What, Helen? What?
Oh, yes.
Keys. Yes.
I'll keep the keys, hmm?
I think we've had enough of locked doors around here.
Here they are.
That's right.
"And Jacob was left alone
for the breaking of day,
and he wrestled with an angel.
And the angel said, "Let me go,
for the daybreaks"
And Jacob said, "I will not let you go until you bless me."
Amen.
Amen Amen.
Amen.
That's a very strange grace, James.
I thought it was a very fitting grace
considering the circumstances.
So, you're an expert now on the Bible
and tobacco, is that right, James?
Pickles, Aunt Ev?
I should say so.
You know my opinion of your pickles.
Well, this is the last of them, I'm afraid.
I didn't put up nearly enough last summer,
but this year, I intend to.
Reverend Tompkins stopped by the office today to complain about his weevils.
I told him...
Did you tell him to...
I told him to talk to you about his weevils, James.
I think it's marvelous what a successful
farmer you have turned out to be, James.
Ohh.
Miss Annie, no.
No. Please?
I have hardly had an hour with her.
Captain?
Katie...
We...
we had a little talk.
Miss Sullivan feels that if we indulge Helen in...
But what's the child done?
She's learned not to throw things on the floor and kick.
Well, it's only a napkin.
It's not as if it were something breakable.
Either give Helen to me, or you keep her from kicking.
Please.
What do you want me to do?
Let me take her from the table.
But this is her first evening back.
Will once hurt so much, g餴ce Annie?
I have made all of Helen's favorite foods.
She's testing you.
I know!
Well she's not kicking now.
This is what I was worried about.
Is this what you promised me less than an hour ago?
Give in to her, then.
She's the one who will pay for it.
Please pass me more of Helen's favorite foods.
Take her, g餴ce Annie.
Thank you.
There. Take her.
No.
I won't have this.
I don't see that we need to send her from the table.
Let me hold Helen to what she's learned, and she will go on learning.
Take her out of my hands, and it all comes apart.
She is the guest of honor.
Bring her plate back.
If she were a seeing child, you would not stand for this.
Well, she's not.
I think some allowances are called for.
Bring her plate back, please.
Thank you.
There.
Now let's start all over.
No.
Don't get up!
What are you doing?
I treat her like a seeing child because I ask her to see!
I expect her to see!
Where are you taking her?
To make her refill this pitcher!
You let her speak to you like that, Arthur?
No, I don't.
Let her go!
What?
Let her go.
She's right.
She's right, and Kate's right.
If you drive Miss Sullivan away from here, then we're lost.
No.
Helen is lost.
Captain, please.
Jimmy...
Thank you.
Know where we are?
You recognize this place?
Pump.
No.
Your mother's...
not here.
Ah.
Pump.
Water.
W...
Wa...
W...
Water.
Yes.
Water.
It has a name.
Water.
Yes. Yes.
W-W...
W...
Yes. Yes.
Wa...
Wa... Wa...
Yes. Yes.
Water.
Yes.
Pump.
Ground.
Yes.
Bush.
Flower.
Captain
Mrs. Keller, come quickly!
She knows!
Mrs. Keller...
she knows!
She knows!
Mother.
Yes.
Captain.
Papa.
Good.
Teacher.
Yes.
Teacher.
Keys? She wants the keys.
Here you go.
There.
OK.
"K..."
"E..."
"Y."
Key.
Teacher.
Kate, darling.
I...
love...
Helen...
so much.
So much.

不 不 他们不希望出现这种情况
把它放那儿吧
首先 我要剪出轮廓
住手！
海伦!
别闹了 海伦
为什么她把手指往我嘴里塞？
因为她生气啊 你整天说话 她却什么也听不见。
既然她听不到 她怎么知道我在说话？
我觉得她是想说话。
她疯了吗
怎么自己咬自己！
快停下！
海伦 停下！
海伦 海伦
停下
救命！救命！
海伦想杀了我们！ 她又想杀人了！
海伦?
海伦
海伦 别动
别动
好了 好了 把剪刀给妈妈
海伦
海伦 把剪刀给妈妈
海伦
好了
好吧
现在好啦
好了
我漂亮的女儿 不闹了吧？
哎呀 父亲
但愿你已经把故事准备好了
什么故事？
等小野人当真杀了人 你总得有话说啊
"法官大人
我不知道这个可怜的聋哑孩子竟然如此凶猛。"
妹妹的事不用你操心 詹姆斯
你不是正准备换衣服出门吗？
为什么我从没见过你的小朋友们来家里玩呢 詹姆斯？
我怎么好请人到这儿来？
但你的朋友又不会因为海伦就对你印象不好
海伦可是这个家里真正的主子
说不定她听不见说不出都是假装的
这样她就谁的话也不用听了
我不能容忍你对可怜的海伦这么嫉妒！
再见 姑姑。
好啦 我们进屋了
爸爸在这儿
伊芙姑姑也在这儿
我看见詹姆斯出去了
但愿你们俩不是又吵架了吧？
没 没有
噢，凯蒂，我们都爱海伦，
可你一定也看到了 她让你没法好好持家
你看 詹姆斯和他爸爸简直没法儿不吵架
你呢 所有的时间都给了这个女儿
简直没时间照顾才生的小宝宝。
詹姆斯说得对
你和亚瑟必须想点办法 而且要尽快
我们能怎么办？伊夫林？
不这样我们就只能把她送去收容所
这凯特是绝不会同意的
唉 那你试没试过…
两个州的每家医院我们都带她去过了
没有医生抱任何希望
巴尔的摩市的奇泽姆博士呢？
我在你自己办的报纸上读到一篇文章 亚瑟
文章说 其他医生放弃的许多失明患者
他都给治愈了
为什么不立刻给他写封信呢？
然后让凯特再伤心一次吗？
只要有希望 我伤心再多次都行
只要你乐意 我亲自给他写信 凯蒂
根本没有希望治好
我们越早接受这个事实
就能过得越好
我是永远不会接受的
我办不到
我要去见印刷商了
看看 一会儿不盯着都不行
亚瑟 海伦不像你想的那样什么都不明白
没看到一个庸医在报上打广告就大老远跑去
这解决不了问题
往办公室跑也解决不了问题啊！
哼…
凯特 亲爱的
谁又能有一点办法呢？
我们能做的最好的事 就是在风景好的地方
找一家疗养院 让她在那儿受照顾
不 不 绝不
哦 哦！她把我扣子揪掉了！
眼睛！
她想要洋娃娃有眼睛！
对不起 伊芙琳
告诉我换扣子需要多少钱好了 我会…
我就知道她会这么想！
噢 别在意这个了
只要海伦开心 两颗扣子算什么
你喜欢的话 我替你把眼睛缝上
你想做的就是这个吗？
让海伦开心？
没什么能让她开心
你给她什么都只会让她更糟糕
做点小事让她高兴一下又有什么不好？！
噢 海伦！
小宝宝!
海伦…
听着 你不能这么做 懂吗？
为什么呢？这不也是让她高兴的小事吗？
如果你不肯把她送走
我们就必须想办法把她管起来
什么 你想把她当成疯子关在阁楼上吗？！
她想说话！
海伦 过来！
没事了。
啊！
没事了 没事了 我明白
好吧
我会给奇泽姆医生写信的
奇泽姆医生表示对海伦无能为力
并为他们推荐了亚历山大 格雷厄姆 贝尔医生。
因为孩子很小 父母不愿意把她送到我们这里
我推荐了你去当家庭教师
家庭教师?
还是保姆？
我们双方都清楚 你一直想怎么把我赶走
你在这里已经获得了很大的进步
刚来的时候 你连自己的名字都不会拼呢
你的眼睛还那么疼吗？
不 是耳朵疼 【讽刺
跟我说说那孩子的情况
她是聪明呢
还是个笨蛋？
她到底有没有受教育的能力啊？！
她常忍不住发脾气 据说
我也一样
你可能该告诉她家人 我脾气可不好
我只介绍了你的从教资格 完全没提你的过去
这是买火车票的钱
这是我们大家送你的礼物
大家都很爱你
我们会想你的
这是给你忠告的最后机会了 安妮
你缺乏老练的手腕和处事方法
很难对别人妥协
欺骗你很难 哄你高兴更难
但尽管如此 我们还是为你感到骄傲
我们再去接一次火车吧
唉 但愿这一趟真把那姑娘送来了
哦 一定会的
那么我们就晚餐见了
驾！
你妈妈不在家 孩子
不过嘛 我在
我是你爸爸
我是你的爸爸
我推你玩过秋千
那时候你还不到两岁呢
都不知道你还记不记得了那些事了
记不记得我们任何一个人
给
吃一颗糖吧
嗯哼
你想要妈妈了 是不是 小小姐？
凯乐上校看着是要不高兴的
但吃块糖能有什么坏处？
脚下小心 先生
夫人
不用担心 先生
沙利文小姐？
是的
我是詹姆斯 凯勒
我有过一个兄弟 叫吉米
你是海伦的 ？
半个哥哥 你有行李箱吗？
有
亨利 博西
这位是沙利文小姐
我真是如释重负 我们都开始有点担心你了
买票给我的人该被扔在火车底下轧死
我是凯瑟琳 凯勒 我是海伦的母亲
你没带海伦来啊
我原希望你带她来的
啊 今天下午她爸爸想和她一起玩儿
父女俩相处得可好呢
凯特 你该为自己感到羞愧
沙利文小姐 你早晚会发现的
我们编这些小故事都是为了哄自己开心
希望你别介意
一个聋盲孩子能学会多少本领呢 沙利文小姐？
我不知道
她和你们有任何交流吗？
哦 我总是明白她要什么 如果你是问这个的话
得了 你才不明白呢
大家明白的只有一件事
只要你给海伦一块糖 她就会消停一会儿
你能教她老实坐着吗 沙利文小姐？
首先我得教她语言
语言？
如果她不明白人话 有怎么能懂你们为什么要她老实坐着呢？
沙利文小姐 是不是有人让你误解了海伦的情况？
她既看不见 也听不见
但既然出问题的只是她的感官
而不是她的智能
她就肯定有语言
语言对于智能
比光线对于眼睛还要重要
但你没法对她说话 可怎么教她呢？
想方设法呗
我们会尽一切力量帮助你的
希望你别把我们当外人 安妮小姐
外人对我来说并不是陌生
我这辈子都生活在外人里了
小心脚步
欢迎来到绿藤庄园 沙利文小姐
希望你这趟旅途还算愉快
走了好几趟冤枉路呢 谢谢
海伦在哪儿？
安妮小姐
我们把你安排在二楼的角屋里
这样 夏天只要有一丝凉风 都能吹进你房间里
行李箱我自己提吧 谢谢
我自己提就行了 沙利文小姐
不 请让我自己来
这我是做不到的
箱子里有我想送给海伦的东西
我不需要被当成客人看待
好了 我什么时候才能看到海伦
啊 她正好来了
那就是海伦
她看起来很粗鲁啊 凯特
为什么她不摘下眼镜呢？
学校说 光线会刺激她的眼睛
其实 她小时候曾经瞎过
瞎过？
对 她的眼睛动过九次手术
他们就让一个盲人来教另一个么？
她在那所学校教过几年书？
呃 她 她没在那儿教过书
但她是那儿最好的学生
学生？
现在你有两个瞎姑娘要照顾了 父亲
你少插嘴
詹姆斯
为什么你非得对海伦这么刻薄呢？
为什么 反正我爸就觉得我是个刻薄的人嘛
那些是我的
对了 对了
好啦 接下来 海伦
"Doll"就来当你学的第一个词儿吧
这也是个很好的词儿嘛
这是它的名字
谢谢 亨利
谢谢 博西
那么 这是在干嘛？
某种游戏吗？
这是聋人的字母表
每个字母对应一个手势
首先 她要学会模仿
哈！
哦 模仿她是会的 是啊
就像一般的小猴子一样
应该是聪明的小猴子
我看她想要回娃娃了
只要她拼得对 就能得回娃娃
她连单词是什么都不明白
怎么可能拼得对？
只要她的手指现在能学会比划
那么说不定有一天
她的脑袋也能学会理解
这套字母手势是你发明的吗？
我？不
一些西班牙的修道士发誓终生沉默
我看你也该发这么一个誓才好 詹姆斯先生
好极了
好极了 海伦
非常好
第一课上得很好
干得漂亮
海伦！
放我出去 你这坏孩子！
海伦！
哦 我还担心她不聪明
她简直是全家最聪明的一个了
安妮小姐呢？
在她房间里
没人请她来吃饭吗？
詹姆斯 上去请她下来
没问题 我这就去搬梯子
什么
我得搬梯子来爬窗户 用不了多久
你这是什么意思？
哦 海伦把她反锁在房间里 然后带着钥匙跑了
我想你是要腆着脸说 这不关你的事喽？
您叫我少管闲事的 父亲
我只是想听您的话
沙利文小姐 你在里面吗？
是的 先生 我在
你那边不是有把钥匙吗？
看在上帝的份上
不 先生 这儿没有
把梯子伴奏 吉米
您说了算 父亲大人
上校 我们总不能一直让沙利文小姐关在里面吧
詹姆斯
把梯子搬回来
您说了算 父亲大人
我请她来是解决问题 不是制造问题的
扶好 吉米
谢谢 博西
沙利文小姐！
请讲 凯勒上尉
我希望你以后的工作可别照此展开
请出来坐在我肩上
我完全能自己爬梯子下去
照我说的做 沙利文小姐
噢
您很有骑士精神
这不是骑士精神 是实用主义精神
你困在房间里我们一点好处也没有
我才离开屋子十分钟
说实话 我真不知道你怎么能这么快就惹上麻烦
我会找到钥匙的 先生
有劳你 不过可别再去能锁住的房间找了
好了 大家 娱乐节目已经结束了
我还是暂时把这架L-A-D-D-E-R留在这儿吧
噢 你这个小恶魔！
如果你以为我这么好对付 你就错了
我没别的事可做
也没地方可去
从我现在看来
整个家里
没人想过管束这个孩子
但是
我要怎么约束她 而又不损害她的精神呢
但是
如果她不听我的
这是它的名字
不 海伦
坏
孩子
不 别在意 安妮小姐 这 这不是头一回了
不 海伦
上尉觉得 你把海伦碰到的东西都拼出来
就像拼给一面墙看
你会跟婴儿说话 对吧？
婴儿能听懂你的意思吗？
现在不能 但将来慢慢就能了
只要她听过足够多的词儿
我现在也实在让海伦"听"单词
这得花上多长时间？
得听够十万个词儿吧 大概
Pen.
看见没有
我拼的是 "pen."
她拼的却是 "cake."
她想看我能不能发现两种手势的区别
这个小脑袋完全是管用的 凯勒夫人
海伦很聪明 也很愤怒
我可以利用这点
你能教我这些字母手势吗？
我明天就开始教
如果我们俩都给她拼词
那每个人只要拼半个十万就够了
哦 海伦！
海伦
为什么她戳了我的手反而要给她奖励？
我 我不知道
对 对不起
沙利文小姐
早饭准备好了
要我搬梯子来吗？
够了 吉米
早上好 安妮小姐
早上好
早
希望你住得还算舒服 沙利文小姐
谢谢 上尉 我住得很舒服
请 不用拘束
安妮小姐 如果你有什么需要 请尽管开口
烟草价格涨起来了 父亲
今年我们总算能大赚一笔了
现在不比过去了 有个好农场也不见得能每年赚钱
哼 如果您放下那家没用的报社 好好教我生意
我们就能挣钱了
别在沙利文小姐面前谈这个
为什么在沙利文小姐面前就不能说？
安妮小姐
海伦总是自己从我们盘子拿吃的 她习惯了
恐怕我可习惯不了
哦 这也是常情
温妮 请再给沙利文小姐拿个盘子
问题不在于我的盘子 上尉先生
问题在于海伦的手不该伸进来
为了一个盘子破坏整顿早餐可不值得
你看 她不如愿是不会罢休的
我必须请你放开孩子的手
谢谢
哦 看 她受伤了
不 她才没有
是受伤还是耍脾气 我一眼就看得出
沙利文小姐
请你稍微可怜她一点吧
对这样的行为？
可怜是她最不需要
整个家都全心全意为她服务呢
听听 听听 你少插嘴
就让海伦随便吧 不过是件芝麻小事罢了
小事？ 看来你们都决定了
觉得怜悯海伦比较轻松
不愿意费力教她规矩
我目前也没看到你教会她任何事 沙利文小姐
说得对 上尉 观察得很好
如果您肯离开房间 我这就开始教
离开房间？
是的 请离开 上尉
就现在 麻烦您离开
沙利文小姐
如果您连她发发脾气都看不下去
那我就什么也没法教了
凯勒夫人 您刚才问过 我需不需要什么
是的 但是我
我需要和海伦单独呆着
立刻
沙利文小姐
上尉
詹姆斯
上尉 我能和您单独出去谈谈吗？
请给我们几分钟 谢谢
这太荒唐了
亚瑟 我敢肯定她都是为了孩子好
我决不答应把我家变成一个马戏团
除非她能学点礼貌 否则就得走人
亚瑟 那我们还能拿海伦怎么办呢？
总不会比以前差
那样我们多少还能得到一点安静
海伦
天哪
好吧
我该怎么办呢 凯特夫人
都已经中午了 但早餐桌子还没收拾呢
别哭 别哭
来吧
嘘
海伦刚才
用她自己的勺子吃饭了
用勺子吃的
全是她自己完成的
她还叠好了餐巾
屋子一片狼藉
但她自己叠餐巾了
我先回房间了 凯勒夫人
噢 海伦
别呆太久了 安妮小姐
午餐马上就好
我的海伦能自己叠餐巾了
你在读什么？
豪医生对一个病人的辅导纪录
从两岁起 她就又聋又瞎
他成功了吗？
成功了
那么确实办得到了
只要有耐心 我想是能的
不过在学校可从来没人说我有耐心那东西
早上那堂课后
上校想叫我辞退你
但我准备坚持让你留下
谢谢
安妮小姐 你的家人呢？
我的最后一个家人是弟弟吉米
12年前他也死了
我很抱歉 我…
我努力保护他
但失败了
保护别人 替别人说话 这些全都没用
没有真正的用处
唯一的希望
就是教会他们自己保护自己 自己为自己发言
这就是我想为海伦做到的
你现在对她有多高要求
她将来就能获得多高的成长
一级楼梯 一步
上尉您好
如果今早发生的事还不够有说服力
那么现在海伦根本不肯靠近她 这总够了吧
情况简直越来越糟了
我要你去辞退她
不
好吧 既然你不肯 我只好亲自去说
晚上好 上尉 凯勒夫人
沙利文小姐
我发现我现在不太满意
就是说 现在这个安排
能请你把眼镜摘下来么?
对着它我很难说话
哦 没问题
如果你非戴不可 戴着也行
那么 沙利文小姐
请告诉我 上尉 小树林里有座小屋
它现在派着什么用场么?
小屋?
我刚才说的就是这种态度
沙利文小姐 如果你想留下来
恐怕非得好好学点礼貌才行
而且你必须对我证明 你至少有一丝可能
能教导一个躲你像躲瘟神一样的孩子
你至少可以对那孩子稍微怜惜一点吧
您说得完全对 上尉
要教导一个碰到我就逃跑的孩子
是一丝可能也没有的
在这儿根本没有希望 我们越早认识到这点
就能越快开始寻找解决之道
It is not hopeless! 不是完全没有希望!
海伦才十个月大就会说话了
生病前她是多好的一个孩子啊!
是的 她曾经是个出类拔萃的孩子
这我相信
但她早已经不是那个她了
连不少宠物都比她懂规矩
而造成这种情况的 正是你们的怜惜
你这是什么话!?
我恐怕 你们对海伦的爱
比聋和瞎还更阻碍她成长
安妮 你来之前 我们都开始考虑送海伦去收容所了
请你不要放弃
显然 沙利文小姐已经认为完全没希望了
这里! 我是说在这个家里完全没希望!
我才刚打开话头!
请让我带你们去看
请跟我来
天知道这和教导海伦能有什么关系
真是荒谬绝伦
我相信 只有把海伦完全交给我
她的教育才能有进展
但她已经完全交给你了啊
不 我的意思是全天 日日夜夜
她必须得完全依靠我
什么事依靠你?
所有事!吃的 穿的 游戏 零食
所有她需要的东西
都是我和她建立联系的工具
她碰到你就跑 还谈得上什么建立联系?
的确 如果她能逃到你们身边 我是完全没指望的
所以我才希望带她离开大屋单独住
你们可以驾马车带她绕很远再来到这里
她不会知道自己离家这么近
你们还是能每天来看她
只要保证不让她发现你们
你要单独带她住多久?
需要多久就住多久
我肯定这就是真正的办法!
再说 上尉 只要你不在周围打扰我
我也就不可能再对你没礼貌了
我应该这样理解吗 一旦我对你说不
你就放弃这个工作 把海伦留给收容所?
决不能送海伦去收容所 上校
相信我 我很清楚
我自己就在收容所长大
我和弟弟住在州立济贫院
直到后来这个济贫院夺去他的生命
我们的游戏所就是太平间
挖好坟墓前他们暂时把尸体停在那儿
这些经历让我变得顽强
但海伦现在已经够顽强了
请给我这个机会帮助她
也给她这个机会救她自己
沙利文小姐 你爱这个孩子吗?
你爱这个孩子吗？
上尉
希望你允许
我就给你两周
你有两周时间让这孩子不再反感你
博西会留在这儿 他可以帮你跑跑腿
两周可不够!
我只能给你两周
那我就接受吧
沙利文小姐 您要把行李箱放哪儿?
哦 哪儿都行
你准备怎么在这儿赢得她的好感?
你计划把她拴在椅子上吗?
为什么你能一点都不怜悯海伦呢?
给人怜悯纯属浪费精力
自艾自怜就更愚不可及
好吧 我希望你胜利 沙利文小姐
好了 我们在田间绕了两个钟头
在她的感觉里 我们大概已经来的另一个镇子了
请把她送进去
哦 她在找我呢
只要两周她就能回到你身边了
安妮小姐 请你一定好好照顾她
我会的
博西!
醒醒!我需要你帮忙
再试一次
好
让我走吧
她要掐我的
我看她是想说话？
她能说话 但得用她的手说
来 我做给你看
她正跟我发脾气 所以不愿意跟我玩
但她已经知道很多字母了
她拼出cake这个词 就能得到蛋糕
她现在还不知道这个词的意思
但她会知道的
博西
咱们不需要他
咱们学一个她不知道的怎么样？
"M" 很简单
"I" 更简单 伸出小指头就行
" M." 我何必理你？我教的是博西.
不
我教的是博西
啊 你嫉妒了
至少我回到可以碰你的阶段了
你可以回去睡觉了 博西
谢谢你
我从没想过生活可以这么安静
我也想她了
安妮
我睡不着 安妮
我房间里有耗子
我们就不能去别处住吗？
我们没有别处可去了 吉米
我能和你一起睡吗 求你了？
只有今天一晚唷
不
不是 "apple."
让你弄懂怎么这么难啊？
我们正要吃午餐
她过得怎么样 安妮小姐？
挺好的
我昨天教了她一个编织活儿
后来她就再也不肯停下了
她不在 屋子里太安静了
哦 至少上尉和詹姆斯不吵嘴的时候是那样
我发现了 他们俩处得不好
其实 詹姆斯的母亲在世时 父子俩关系挺好的
但后来他母亲去世了 再后来我们又有了海伦
这么说吧 大家就光顾着海伦了
唷 真是个小淑女
现在要是没有勺子 她宁肯饿着也不用手拿着吃
才一周半 你已经教会她这么多了
这还不够
只会服从是不够的
她已经知道了这么多单词
但得等她明白了单词的意思 才算成功
她要怎么才能学会呢？
就像小鸟学飞一样 得等时机成熟
但怎么才能让时机成熟呢 安妮小姐？
我...
需要...
更多...
时间
继续单独带她吗？
对
为什么不呢?
因为我做不到 我
用手势拼
一旦她学会了拼字表达
你会是她第一个想要说话的对象
她...
需要...
我
她也需要我啊
不
你还有三天 安妮
只有这三天
这个词就是指这个东西
这是它的名字
小鸟从壳里钻出来了 海伦
你 你也能钻出你的壳 海伦
啊 弗兰西斯
我相信我们这是个好主意
父亲?
你们好 弗兰西斯 詹姆斯
上尉
我想出来转转
去年我们想到个主意 就着手试了试
and it looks like 22 inches between the plants gives us about twice the yield. 现在看来 22英寸的间隔给我们带来了两倍的产量
两倍的产量？
去年庄稼闹青霉病闹得很厉害 先生
我们想 霉菌肯定会附在庄稼的根上传到今年来
所以等收获后
我们想把地里剩的根茎都挖出来扔了
可地里没了根 来一场大雨
就得把表层的好土都冲走
啊 这点我也想到了
我们可以在地里种草 抓住泥土
你能找到草籽吧 弗兰西斯？
您出来是想找点什么 父亲？
我想我已经找到了 吉米
打扰你们了 抱歉
我有多期盼这一天啊！
我只希望我们不至于失望
海伦就从没让你失望过 父亲
为什么你嫉妒她呢 詹姆斯？
我不是嫉妒
我是羡慕
原来需要学会说话的不只是海伦而已
如果海伦好一些 家里就会大不一样了
我知道
那时我又该把不快乐怪罪给谁呢？
多希望有人能帮帮我啊
我自己也和海伦一样 需要有人帮助和教导
上尉
沙利文小姐 我给海伦带来了一个玩伴
算是毕业礼物吧
请您等在外面 上校
Dog.
那么 沙利文小姐
已经到两周的期限了
要下午五点才满呢！
哦 短短半天时间有什么关系呢
你不知道我们有多渴望她回到我们身边
我知道的
这正是我最关心的事情
你已经为她创造奇迹了
你也帮了我们很大的忙
我真心实意地思念她+
我欠你一笔
那么请把报偿交给海伦 上尉
再给她一个礼拜
你看 你已经给她很多帮助了
她守规矩了 她看起来很满足 她显然干净多了
她干净多了？
你对她就这点期待吗？
她在学说话 上尉
她的手指已经记住了好多词汇
I can't risk her unlearning it when she goes back to her old life in the house. 我不能冒着前功尽弃的风险让她就这样回到旧生活里！
噢 看
她在拼什么？
沙利文小姐...
这只狗懂得一点也不比她多
但这只狗照样非常快乐
或许上帝本来就不想让海伦说话 沙利文小姐
可我想让她说话 上尉
再给她半周吧
你可以继续教她到今天下午五点为止
凯特不能再忍耐一个没有她的夜晚了
她在哪儿？！
你的沙利文小姐坚持要让她呆到下午五点
不
不是"water."
这个
这个 这个才是"water"
我怎么才能让她明白？
我该怎么告诉你？
我根本什么也不懂
他们已经满意了
还给他们呗 反正是他们的
一个训好了的孩子
一条训好了的狗
每个人都心满意足了
每个人都满意 只除了我
...还有你
继续争取啊！
争取啊！
哦 我有那么美好的东西想要送给你 海伦
地球上的万物 我们作为人的一切 我们所有的梦想！
我们死后能留给世界的
我们能思考的 能感受的 能理解的 能分享的
全都存在于语言里
只要我能教给你一个词
只要一个词！我就能给你这所有东西
羊毛线
意思是这个东西
椅子
餐巾
连衣裙
脸
眼泪
我们去带她回家吧！
我们来把你的东西收拾好
收拾好
好的
你 要回家了
海伦...
要回家了
好哇 收拾吧
她怎么样？
请你 再给我一点时间
我做不到
海伦？
海伦
安妮 我好热啊！ 安妮 能给我拿点儿水吗？安妮！
我得去照顾他！
他除了我再没有别人了！
你以为我愿意这儿出现传染病吗？！
安妮！
不准去！ 吉米！
我们已经尽力救他了
一有办法我就来接你
我想救他的 但他们就是不让
我可以陪你走过去吗？
我现在可不是聊天的好对象
噢 我也不是来和你聊天的
我来 是怕你陷在黑暗里爬不起来
说不定我现在就愿意那样呢
你这算是自艾自怜吗 沙利文小姐？
就这一次
是的
我父亲现在对你很尊敬
他的尊敬可不容易得到
他打过南北战争最重要的仗
现在又主编着一家报纸
而且他总想激你赶上他
如果你对我有什么建议
我不介意听一听
我从没有过爸爸 所以恐怕说不出什么好建议
但你必须勇敢地挺身面对这个世界
我知道的只有这个而已
万一他就是整个世界呢？
那么你就得打开眼界了 詹姆斯 这个世界远比你想的大得多
他是个普通人 詹姆斯 普通人而已
就像你一样
伊芙琳姑姑 请进 快请进
看到你太高兴了
你一定要立刻来看看我们海伦
多乖的孩子啊
莎莉文小姐简直是个魔术师
沙利文小姐
我带来了你第一个月的薪水
你的工作太出色了
你带走的是一只小野兽 送回来的却是个好孩子
我只教会了海伦一件事
"不准"
不准做这个 不准做那个
我真正想教给她的是 自主"做"各种事的本领
好啊 现在你想花多少时间教她都行了
你会帮助我吗 上尉？
会的 怎么帮？
别去破坏我已经塑造好的部分
这个世界不会对任何人手下留情
什么事都让海伦由着性子来
等于是在告诉她一个巨大的谎言
你再也不能让这个谎言靠近她了
一点也不能让步
我们当然会尽力而为
我曾经想过 我能不能找到一份工作糊口
现在问题却变成了 我该怎么为了糊口而继续把这份工作忍耐下去
我们晚餐再见
噢 我们真高兴你回来了 小小姐
什么 海伦 什么事？
哦 好的
钥匙 好的
钥匙交给妈妈保管吧 嗯？
我想我们锁上的门已经够多了
全都放在这儿
放心了吧
只剩下雅各一人
有一人来和他摔跤
直到黎明
那人说: 天黎明了，
容我去吧。
雅各说:你不给我祝福，我就不容你去。
阿门
这个饭前祷告可真够古怪的 詹姆斯
我倒觉得这个祷告很合适
考虑到今天的情况
哦 看来你现在不光是烟草专家
还是圣经专家了 是吗 詹姆斯？
要甜泡菜吗 伊芙姑姑？
当然要啦
你知道我对你做的泡菜有多喜欢
不过 就只剩这些了
去年夏天我做得不多
今年夏天我就有功夫多做一些了
汤普金斯今天到办公室来 抱怨他田里有害虫
我告诉他...
你说什么了?
我说叫他找你谈这个问题 詹姆斯
你变成一个了不起的农场主了
这真是太妙了 詹姆斯
安妮小姐 别这样
别这样 求你了？
我才和她共度一个小时而已
上尉？
凯蒂
我们
我们之前谈了一下
沙利文小姐认为如果我们纵容海伦...
但这孩子没干什么坏事啊？
她已经学过了不能把餐巾扔地上 不能乱踢
唉 不过是张餐巾嘛
又不是什么容易打碎的东西
不然就把海伦交给我 不然就由你来制止她
请你配合
你想要我怎么办？
让我带她离开餐桌
但这是她回家的第一顿饭！
一次不守规矩能有多大问题呢 安妮小姐？
我特意全都准备了海伦爱吃的饭菜
她是在试验我
她是在试验你
我知道！
好啦 她现在不乱踢了
我之前担心的就是这种情况
不到一个钟头前你跟我保证什么来着？
由她去吧 那就
最后付出代价的还是她自己
也再给我来点儿"海伦最爱吃的"
带她去吧 安妮
谢谢
去吧 带走吧
不
我不同意
我不认为我们需要罚她离开饭桌
让我保住她已经学会的 然后她才能继续学下去
把她从我这儿带走 她就前功尽弃了
她是今天的贵宾
把她的盘子摆回来
如果她是个明眼的孩子 你绝不会容忍这种行为
可她不是!
我想有些妥协是必须的
请把她的盘子放回来
谢谢
好了
现在让我们重头开始
不
别起来！
你要干什么？
我像明眼孩子一样对待她 是因为我要她用心去看！
我期盼她看见！
你要带她去哪儿？
去让她重新装满这个水瓶！
你就让她这么对你说话 亚瑟？
不 我不能容许
让她去吧！
什么？
让她去
她是对的
她是对的 凯特是对的
如果您把沙利文小姐赶走 我们就再也帮不了海伦了
不
应该说 海伦就再也不能回到我们身边、不能进入这个世界了
上尉 请您想想
吉米...
谢谢你。
知道我们在哪儿吧？
认出这个地方了吧？
抽水
不
你妈妈
可不在这儿
抽水
对
这是它的名字
对了 对了
对的 对的
对 对
对
抽水
地面
对
灌木
花
上尉
凯勒夫人 快来啊！
她明白了!
凯勒夫人...
她明白了!
上尉
钥匙？ 她想要钥匙
给你
给
凯特 亲爱的
