[THUNDERING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Moonshee, please come back.
You're going to get in
trouble with your master.
Here, Moonshee.
Here.
Moonshee, please.
[COUGHING]
Hold on.
I'll get you.
[GRUNTING]
Louis.
Here, Moonshee.
Quickly.
Pull!
Hang on, Louis.
Mother?
Moonshee was so afraid.
I should have known
it was your fault.
Louis, are you all right?
So she's coming, the
King's new school teacher.
Guess what she brings.
Homework?
Pub quizzes?
Those little pink slips they
give you when you're t*rd?
I hate those.
Progress you fool.
Uh-oh.
Master Little teeth work of art.
No more superstition.
No more fear.
No more--
You.
There will always be me.
I will be ruler of Siam.
Do you understand?
And no school
teacher is going to--
I'll use this English
school teacher
to help me dethrone the King.
School teacher want
to get rid of King too?
Oh.
I get it, oh, Conniving One.
No you don't.
No, I don't get it.
You're right.
But you go and explain
to me now, huh?
I'll cleverly convince
her that our King
is a cruel, primitive,
merciless barbarian!
[LAUGHING]
You very spooky.
She'll write
home to the British
begging them to have
the King removed
and someone more civilized
be made ruler in his place,
such as--
Uh-oh.
Missed spot.
Such as?
You.
You.
You.
You.
Good for job.
And not a moment to lose.
Terror is toxic.
This storm has created doubts.
A perfect setting for
my powers of illusion.
Let's show them
something truly barbaric.
Give me gong.
[GONG SOUNDING]
[CHATTERING]
Oh!
What is it, mother?
I don't know.
What is it?
Yikes.
[WHISTLING]
Mother, what are you doing?
I'm whistling.
Whistling?
That's what I do
when I'm afraid.
(SINGING) Whenever
I feel afraid,
I hold my head erect and whistle
a happy tune so no one will
suspect I'm afraid.
While shivering in my shoes,
I strike a careless pose,
and whistle a happy tune, and
no one ever knows I'm afraid.
The result of this deception
is very strange to tell.
Oh, when I fool the people I
fear, I fool myself as well.
I whistle a happy tune
and every single time
the happiness in the
tune convinces me
that I'm not afraid.
Make believe you're brave, and
the trick will take you far.
You may be as brave as
you make believe you are.
[WHISTLING IN TUNE]
You may be as brave as
you make believe you are.
I whistle a happy tune,
and every single time
The happiness in the
tune convinces me
that I'm not afraid.
Make believe you're brave, and
the trick will take you far.
You may be as brave as
you make believe you are.
[WHISTLING IN TUNE]
You may be as brave as
you make believe you are.
CREW: Hooray!
We did it!
I think this whistling's
a very good idea, mother.
A very good idea.
It is a great idea, isn't it?
I don't think I shall
ever be afraid again.
(MOCKING) I don't think I
shall ever be afraid again.
Oh, yes you will.
Have a squint, lad.
Bangkok's out there.
Not you.
[GASP]
Is that the King?
His prime minister,
the Kralahome.
He has the power that can
be used for or against ya.
I'd be less outspoken
than your normal self.
Just some friendly advice, mom.
A thousand welcomes to Siam.
I trust the seas were calm?
Perfectly.
Thank you.
Have you friends in Bangkok?
Oh, I know no one at all.
Then if you need
anything, please turn to me.
Oh, no.
Goodbye, Moonshee.
I'll miss you.
Well, maybe you should
take the useless creature.
I really wanted a
ship's cat to eat rats.
Can I?
Thanks.
You took a tooth from me too.
Your time will come, monkey.
I know t*rture.
Poor lad.
He'll need a friend
in that palace.
Whenever I fear afraid.
Hmm.
Catchy tune.
Where I hear that one?
You'll be shown
to your quarters.
Oh.
I was promised a house of
my own, outside the palace.
Kings do not always
remember what they promise.
Then I will remind the King.
I shall take nothing less than
what I have been promised.
You will tell the King this?
I will tell the King this.
It will be an
interesting meeting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Me know this one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
KRALAHOME: Burma sends a
gift to the King of Siam.
ANNA: Gift?
Sometimes rugs.
Once a cuckoo clock.
This time her.
That girl?
She's a person, not a rug.
A barbarical custom.
The King loves it.
Tell the King what
useful thing can you do.
I-- I--
I can--
Go on.
Go on.
I can read, Your Majesty.
[GASP]
Oh, goodness.
In Siam, books are
forbidden to servants.
Infinite pardons,
Your Majesty.
She can arrange flowers.
[YELLING]
Stop it.
Moonshee.
Stop.
Who, who, who?
I am so sorry, Your Majesty.
He meant no harm.
Never hide behind
woman's skirt.
Is not brave.
Also impossible to
know when she sit down.
I am Anna Leonowens,
Your Majesty.
The school teacher you sent for.
Now, there's a matter
we must settle.
Yes, yes.
You are part of my plan
bringing to Siam what
is good in Western culture.
Come, come, come.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Lab of science.
Press for printing.
First modern Siamese book.
Short history of royal family.
Author, myself.
Unfortunately, is long family.
Oh, that sounds interesting.
KING MONGKUT: Also experimenting
with engine of steam on
rolled up steel.
[TRAIN HORN]
Moonshee.
Ancient Siamese firework.
sh**t on top of palace.
I'm thinking of rocket.
How clever.
Ah, pride and joy.
Air travel is future.
Oh, Louis.
Look.
Quickly.
Go, go.
Please, little teeth.
Don't fall-- ah, ah, ah.
Still working on details.
Everything very scientific
here, except you.
You do not look like teacher.
How old shall you be?
150 years, Your Majesty.
In what year were you birthed?
In 1712, Your Majesty.
How many years
shall you be married?
Several, Your Majesty.
How many grandchildren
shall you have?
How many?
How many?
[LAUGHING]
Perhaps bad manners to ask
many question of such old lady.
I appreciate the
concern, Your Majesty.
But now I have a question.
I will tell when
it's time for question.
No, Your Majesty.
I agreed to teach in the palace.
But there's the
matter of my house.
You promised a place where
I may go in the evening
when my duties are over.
What you wish to do in evening
that cannot be done in palace?
I won't have soldiers at my
door, et cetera, et cetera.
What is this "et cetera?"
Well, Your Majesty,
it means "all the rest."
Good.
Have children prepare for
presentation, et cetera.
I want my house.
The house I was
promised, Your Majesty.
You teach in palace.
You live in palace.
I did try to warn you.
Stop.
Those are my belongings.
Oh, I am sure a brave
young man like you
would enjoy a visit
to the royal armory.
Absolutely.
There you are, Moonshee.
If the boy gets hurt,
the King will be blamed.
But don't worry, Master
Little will protect--
You idiot.
Yeah.
I got you.
We gonna mess him up.
[HISSING]
Oooh, that scare me.
[HISSING]
OK, that's better.
[SNIFFLING]
Where did you come from?
[TRUNK SQUEAKING]
[LAUGHING]
A hunter did this, I bet.
I shall call you Tusker.
[SPARRING SOUNDS]
Enough.
Yes, Crown Prince.
[TRUNK SQUEAKING]
Tusker.
Who are you?
An object.
Like rug given to King.
His Majesty
receives many gifts.
And if I displease in any
way, I'll be sent back to Burma.
You know what such
this dishonor means?
Death.
Are you a soldier?
I-- umm.
You don't know what you are?
I serve the King.
That makes two of us.
Two servants.
[GIGGLING]
Welcome to your
rooms, Mrs. Anna.
It's beautiful.
Oh, please don't unpack.
I'm not staying.
What are they doing?
They wonder why
you wear a tent.
They think you are
shaped like that.
Look.
Two legs.
Oh, no, please.
Oh, your husband.
A great love?
He was.
It can happen, even
to a school teacher.
Though I suspect only
once in a lifetime.
Servant girl and Crown Prince.
It is forbidden.
Against tradition.
But love has nothing
to do with tradition.
(SINGING) Hello young
lovers, whoever you are.
I hope your troubles are few.
All my good wishes
go wish you tonight.
I've been in love like you.
Be brave, young lovers
and follow your star.
Be brave, and
faithful, and true.
Cling very close
to each tonight.
I've been in love like you.
I know how it feels to
have wings on your heels
and to fly down a
street in a trance.
You fly down a street on
a chance that you'll meet.
And you meet not
really by chance.
Don't cry young lovers
whatever you do.
Don't cry because I'm alone.
All of my memories
are happy tonight.
I've had a love of my own.
I've had a love of
my own, like yours.
I've had a love of my own.
[DOOR OPENING]
Go ahead, go ahead.
Look around.
Feel free to touch any
sharp pointy object you see.
Whoa.
You'd have to be brave
to face one of those.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
[SNICKERING]
Hey.
Darn it all.
Wow.
These things still work?
Sorry.
Good thing Master
Little's so little.
Hey, look at this.
[SNICKERING]
This would really hurt.
Stupid monkey.
Oh, thanks.
[GRUNTING]
All right, you villain.
Take this right now.
[GRUNTING]
You all right?
Escape.
Just escape.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Watch this.
Moonshee.
[GASP]
A. E. I. O. U. And sometimes
Y. What you looking at?
You never see man pinned to
wall with six knives before?
No.
Cool.
Ow!
Wow.
[SNICKERING]
What you doing?
There's no climbing allowed.
Ow!
Hey, that's great.
Can you show me the cannons now?
I'm kind of tied
up at the moment.
But, hey, why not?
[GONG SOUNDING]
Rama, sit.
Children come for presentment.
Where is school teacher?
Ah.
Your Majesty, I'm not staying.
Silence.
You will stand here and
meet royal children.
Very well, Your Majesty.
But then I'm leaving.
The royal Prince
and Princesses.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHING]
What, what?
[SNEEZING]
Prince Chulalongkorn.
Hmm?
Our school teacher
has changed her mind.
Will live in palace.
CHILDREN: Ahhhh.
For the time
being, Your Majesty.
Perfect.
[ELEPHANT TRUMPETING]
Take a letter.
P for promotion?
A letter to the British.
Can't you do anything right?
I want to dictate!
To Sir Edward Ramsay,
British envoy.
Your school teacher is in
grave danger, et cetera.
Et cetera.
Is that a secret code,
oh, Great Communicator?
Oh, give it to me.
Ow.
Paper cut.
And how's our little
crop coming along?
I must say, though, your son
is a bit of a disappointment.
[ELEPHANT TRUMPETING]
When I start an Ivory
trade, you'll be the first.
I thought the King
won't allow Ivory trade--
I got it, oh, Corporate One.
We going to be rich, aren't we?
Well, I am at least.
Stingy.
Master Little need money.
He starving.
He losing weight.
Make sure this goes straight
to our British friend, Sir
Edward Ramsay.
And now that I think
of it, I'll use
your tusk for my royal pendant.
[ELEPHANT TRUMPETING]
[MUSIC - "RULE, BRITANNIA!"]
Homeward bound, at last.
Fair winds all
the way Sir Edward.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Tea?
Oh.
Why thank you.
Sir Edward?
Oh, Sir Edward.
There's a letter
for you from Siam.
Really?
Follow that letter.
[GRUNTING]
What's this?
My dear Anna
Leonowens in danger?
Change course, Captain.
But Sir Edward, where to?
Siam to dethrone
a barbaric King.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
For your room, Mrs. Anna.
Oh, how lovely.
Oh, you must have
something in return.
Oh, no, Mrs. Anna.
You will be punished for
giving books to servant.
Oh, nonsense.
I'm a teacher.
[BELL RINGING]
Oh, dear.
And I'm supposed to be
teaching this very minute.
[CHILDREN SINGING]
Take your places, please.
I have a surprise.
A new, modern British map.
Siam is not so small.
Oh, but look.
England's even smaller.
CHILDREN: Ahhhh.
But royal palace is
center of whole universe.
I suppose we
all think our home
is the most important place,
whether we live in a palace
or not.
Who does not live
in palace, Mrs. Anna?
Well, just outside
the palace walls.
Who's outside?
There's something outside?
You've never been outside?
CHILDREN: No.
Really?
Well, then come.
I'll show you.
King will be angry.
No he won't.
He has brought me
here to teach you.
You like us?
Oh, very much.
CHILDREN: Ahhh.
(SINGING) It's a very ancient
saying, but a true and honest
thought, that if you become
a teacher by your pupils
you'll be taught.
As a teacher, I've
been learning.
Forgive me if I boast.
And I've now become an expert
on the subject I like most.
Getting to know you.
CHILDREN: Ahhh.
Getting to know you.
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you.
Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you.
Putting it my way, but nicely.
You are precisely my cup of tea.
Getting to know you.
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you, getting
to know what to say.
Haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy.
Because of all the
beautiful and new things
I'm learning about
you day by day.
ALL: Getting to know you.
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you.
Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you.
Putting it my way, but nicely.
You are precisely my cup of tea.
Getting to know you.
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you, getting
to know what to say.
Haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy.
Because of all the
beautiful and new things
I'm learning about
you day by day.
Haven't you noticed?
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy.
Because of all the
beautiful and new things
I'm learning about
you day by day.
Do not look so worried, Rama.
Remember, cat
always land on feet.
Your Majesty.
Always so modern,
totally innovated--
[GASP]
--in science and education.
School teacher
is doing good job.
Because of examples
set by Your Majesty.
So experimental and daring.
Yes.
I am daring.
I mean--
I mean Your Majesty's idea of
breaking ancient tradition.
Sending the royal children
outside the palace.
(ANGRILY) What, what, what?
Royal children outside palace?
Your Majesty didn't know?
Imagine that.
[GIGGLING]
When can we go back?
Look what I got.
ANNA: Now, children.
Thank you Mrs. Anna.
What, what, what?
You have been outside palace?
Oh.
Umm.
Uhh.
I thought it
important they learn how
people live outside the palace.
I will say what is important.
Tell me something you learned.
There are nice little
houses outside palace, father.
Every day something
about house outside palace.
Your Majesty did promise
me a brick residence
adjacent to the royal palace.
I remember your very words.
I will do remembering.
Who is King here?
I do not know of any promises.
I do not know of anything
except that you are my servant.
Oh, no, Your Majesty.
Indeed I am not your servant.
And if you do not give me
the house you promise me,
I shall return to England.
It is my pleasure
you stay here.
You stay here in palace.
In palace.
I cannot stay in a country
where a promise has no meaning,
where there is talk
of great changes,
but everything remains according
to the wishes of one man.
You will say no more.
I will say no more because
I have no more to say.
I tried to tell you.
Sometimes he's so
unreasonable, so barbaric.
Don't worry.
I'll make things good.
Don't bother I'm leaving.
I thought you were
magnificent, Your Majesty,
every inch a king.
I tell you when
it's time to think.
World today is so large.
No man big enough to be alone.
No man big enough?
Not even a king?
King different.
King need no one.
Nobody at all.
I think.
Ow!
[GROWLING]
(SINGING) Your
servant, your servant.
Indeed I'm not your
servant, although you give
me less than servant's pay.
I'm a free and
independent employee.
Ugh, employee.
Shall I tell you
what I think of you?
You're spoiled.
You're a conscientious
worker, but you're spoiled.
Giving credit where it's due.
There is much I like in you.
But it's also very true
that you're spoiled.
All that bowing and kowtowing
to remind you of your royalty
I find a most
disgusting exhibition.
I wouldn't ask a Siamese
cat to demonstrate
his loyalty by taking
that ridiculous position.
How would you like it if
you were a man playing
the part of a toad crawling
around on your elbows and knees
eating the dust in the road?
Toads.
All of your people are toads.
Yes, Your Majesty.
No, Your Majesty.
Tell us how low to
go, Your Majesty.
Make some more
decrees, Your Majesty.
Don't let us up our
knees, Your Majesty.
Give us a kick if you
please, Your Majesty.
Give us a kick if you
would, Your Majesty.
Oh, that was good, Your Majesty.
Father, you seem so
angry with changes.
How can Siam be modern
if you keep to old ways?
Old ways?
What, what?
Well, example--
Would you, a modern, scientific
king, like in old, dark days
still choose a
wife for your son?
Of course.
As my father did.
How can boy be wise enough
to select good wife?
Is possible.
Is not the way of king.
So I believe.
Believe?
You do not know?
I know.
Someday you too will
know everything.
When do I know that
I know everything?
When you are King.
The royal pendant.
From tusk of first sacred
white elephant 1,000 years ago.
But father, is
for King to wear.
Now future King will wear.
You wear.
You wear.
Father, as future
King, I believe I should
have right to choose wife.
Impossible.
But if I love someone--
Love has nothing
to do with tradition.
[SIGH]
What to say to growing son?
I do not know.
I am not sure of anything.
Ah.
I pray for guidance.
Perfect.
He doubts himself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm in on this one.
Yeah.
Now my powers will work.
Man the gong.
When you're the King,
and I'm the Kralaho--
holo-- holohahalo-- First,
I'm going to change the name.
I'm going to have a servant
to hit the gong for me.
Someone really tall
and really stupid.
[GLASS BREAKING]
Ow!
This makes flossing easier.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
When I was a boy,
world was better spot.
What was so was so.
What was not was not.
Now I am a man.
World have change a lot.
Some things nearly so.
Others nearly not.
There are times I
almost think I am not
sure of what I absolutely know.
Very often find
confusion in conclusion
I concluded long ago.
In my head are many
facts that, as a student,
I have studied to procure.
In my head are
many facts of which
I wish I was more certain.
I was sure is a puzzlement.
When my father was a
king, he was a king
who knew exactly what he knew.
And his brain was not a
thing forever swinging
to and fro and fro and to.
Shall I then be like
my father and be
willfully unmovable and strong.
Or is better to be right?
Or am I right when I
believe I may be wrong?
Oh, sometimes I think
that people going mad.
Sometimes I think that
people not so bad.
But no matter what I think,
I must go on living life.
As leader of my kingdom,
I must go forth.
Be father to my
children and husband
to each wife, et cetera,
et cetera, and so forth.
If my Lord in Heaven
Buddha show the way.
Every day I try to
live another day.
If my Lord in Heaven
Buddha show the way.
Every day I do my
best for one more day.
[GROWLING]
But is a puzzlement.
Ah.
Prayer so peaceful.
I hate pets.
Moonshee.
Moonshee, you stop.
The ship will sail, Moonshee.
I don't want you left behind.
Come on, Moonshee.
[SPARRING SOUNDS]
Once again, undefeated
kickboxing champion of Siam.
That's because
you're the King's son.
No one will hit you.
PRINCE CHULALONGKORN: What?
I'll try if you want.
You are too young.
You'll get hurt.
Come on.
Let's have a go at it.
I saw how it's done.
Jab, jab, jab.
Stop.
Kick, kick, hi-ya.
I'm warning you.
Oops.
It was just a lucky punch.
Honest.
You're really good.
Oh, yes.
A champion who won't even
fight for the one he loves.
You're hurt?
You are Crowned Prince.
I was afraid to tell you.
You.
Me.
Is forbidden.
Won't you look me?
I thought-- I thought you'd
hate me if I told you.
Would have been better.
Prince and servant
girl is forbidden.
Dangerous dream.
No.
No.
(SINGING) I have dreamed
that your arms are lovely.
I have dreamed what
a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you
whisper when you're close.
Close to me.
How you look in the
glow of evening.
I have dreamed and
enjoyed the view.
In these dreams
I've loved you so.
That by now I think I know what
it's like to be loved by you.
I will love being loved by you.
Alone and awake, I've
looked at the stars.
The same that's smiled on you.
And time and again, I've
thought all the things
that you were thinking too.
I have dreamed that
your arms are lovely.
I have dreamed what
a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you'll
whisper when you're close.
Close to me.
How you'll look in
the glow of evening.
I have dreamed and
enjoyed the view.
With these dreams
I've loved you so.
In these dreams
I've loved you so.
BOTH: That I know what it's
like to be loved by you.
I will love being loved by you.
If your father finds out--
No one will know
till we tell them.
It can happen?
It will.
I promise.
Perfect.
What is it?
Shhh.
Someone is here.
I have feeling
someone watching us.
Please go.
Please.
King has bad news.
Is very troubled.
Go to him.
[LAUGHING]
MASTER LITTLE: Prince in
love with servant girl.
That's a big no-no.
Wait until I tell the Kralahome.
He going to be so
pleased with me.
He's going to--
Hey.
What this stupid
thing in my way?
Hello.
[TRUNK SQUEAKING]
Ow.
Now you going to die.
You are so stupid.
[GRUNTING]
Ow!
[DOOR OPENING]
Mrs. Anna, I am worried.
You please will go to my father?
He sent for me?
No.
But he would be glad to see you.
His mind is filled
with problems.
What kind of problems?
Letter to British say
father is barbarian.
The British coming to
make Siam protectorate.
Put new King in his place.
Oh, that's outrageous.
Your father is many things.
But he is not a barbarian.
Then you will help?
You mean give advice?
King cannot ask advice.
And I cannot, will not, give
it without having been asked.
Mrs. Anna.
Please, I read letter.
Come, come.
Dear friend and
teacher, do not go away.
We are like one blind.
Do not let us fall
down in darkness.
Lead us in right road.
Oh, please your loving
student, Princess Ying.
[GROWLING]
Ah, you have
come to apologize.
I am sorry, Your
Majesty, but I have--
Good.
I accept.
Have you no respect for King?
No head shall be
higher than King.
I cannot stand all the time.
You mean on the floor?
You are very difficult woman.
But you will observe.
Your head shall never
be higher than mine.
If I sit, you sit.
If I kneel, you kneel.
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Is promise?
Very well, Your Majesty.
Is promise.
Anything you wish to discuss?
Why would I discuss with you?
Well, then I shall go.
Good night, Your Majesty.
Good night.
Your Majesty.
What, what, what?
Has there been
any news recently?
News?
Yes there were news.
They called me barbarian.
Who?
Certain parties who
wish to steal my country.
If you be Queen Victoria,
and somebody tell you I am
barbarian, do you believe it?
But it's a lie.
A false lie.
And what have you
decided to do about it?
You guess what I will do.
Guess, guess.
He'll fight the
British gunboat.
Cannon against spears.
And guess who'll win.
ANNA: I believe you'll
not battle the British.
What?
I believe you'll
invite the British
to the palace to show
the truth by putting
your best foot forward.
Hah.
Right best foot.
It's just an
expression, Your Majesty.
Ah, yes, well.
Show them truth.
That is exactly what
I have decided to do.
But how?
Guess how I shall
cleverly do this.
By entertaining the
British with a banquet?
Hah.
Just as I intended.
Are you snooping?
If there's one thing I will
not tolerate in this palace,
it's snoopery.
Show them how
civilized you are.
And they'll report to the
Queen you're not a barbarian.
Hah.
I will display most
scientific experiment.
Air travel.
And a ball.
Exactly what I had in mind.
With music.
And dancing.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Dancing.
Why do you not
think of dancing?
Oh, an inspired
idea, Your Majesty.
You will arrange.
May I ask how
much time I have?
One week.
One week?
First ask help from Buddha.
[GONG SOUNDING]
Come, come, come.
Bow.
Bow, bow.
[CHANTING]
Oh, Buddha, give us the aid of
your strength and your wisdom.
Buddha, help Mrs.
Anna to keep awake
for scientific
preparation of banquet,
even though she be only a woman
and a Christian and therefore
unworthy of your interest.
Your Majesty.
A promise is a promise.
Your head shall never
be higher than mine.
A promise.
And Buddha, I promise
you I shall give
this unworthy woman a house.
A house of her own.
A brick residence outside royal
palace according to agreement,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Ah.
Shhh.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Little elephant.
You still there?
Whew.
I hope I never see
another mango in life.
Ow.
Who mess with Master Little?
That shut you up, huh?
Oh, no, no, no.
Master Little not
ready to rumble.
Special pain for you.
So it's you again.
No way.
Where have you been?
Making fruit salad?
[MUFFLED RESPONSE]
You've seen what?
The prince?
Whistling?
Bleh!
Nobody kisses me ever.
He gave away the royal pendant?
Mm-hmm.
To who?
Who, who, who, who?
Sounds like knows?
Toes?
Rose?
MASTER LITTLE: Mm-hmm.
The little flower girl.
MASTER LITTLE: Mm-hmm.
Hey, you know, that would be
a fun game to play at parties,
you know?
Ah, never mind.
It would never work.
Good.
A perfect dish for the banquet.
The British watching over
the King's every move.
And surprise, surprise.
A servant girl has
the royal pendant.
What can his Majesty
do but sentence
her to a barbaric death?
[MUSIC - "RULE, BRITANNIA!"]
[SHIP HORN SOUNDING]
Everything is best foot?
Everything is ready.
Here with shall
be list of subjects
on which I am very brilliant
and will make great impression.
This is what you
shall be wearing?
Why, yes, Your Majesty.
Do you like it?
Are you certain is customary,
et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera?
I'm sorry His Majesty
does not approve.
I did not say
I do not approve.
In England, women dressed
like that dance in arms of men
not their husbands?
I would not permit.
Oh, it's very exciting
when you're young,
and you're sitting on
a small gilt chair,
your eyes cast down, terrified
that you'll be a wallflower.
Suddenly, you see two black
shoes, a face, and it speaks.
(SINGING) Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of
music, shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say
goodnight and mean goodbye?
Oh, perchance when the last
little star has left the sky.
Shall we still be together with
our arms around each other?
And shall you be my new romance?
On a clear understanding that
this kind of thing can happen,
shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we--
Why do you stop?
Your Majesty, I--
I didn't realize I was--
after all, in my country, a
girl would not dance alone
while others were looking on.
But you will dance with
strange man, holding hands,
et cetera, et cetera.
Oh, not always a strange man.
Sometimes a very good friend.
Really?
Oh, yes.
But at the moment, he's
pretending to be civilized.
I'll see through that.
Oh, we're so lucky
you came to save us.
Edward.
Anna.
Are you and Louis all right?
I had no idea it would be you.
Pack your things.
I'm concerned for
your well-being.
Really, Edward, no need.
I'll be the judge of that.
I've been assured this
King is a barbarian.
Who, who, who?
Oh, a dear friend.
Sir Edward Ramsay, Your Majesty.
We knew each other
before I was married.
Dinner.
Afterwards, dancing.
Dinner?
Dancing?
A banquet in your honor.
In that case, we'd
best go in, Anna.
Yes.
Better be going in, Anna.
[GROWLING]
Don't even try.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CLEARING THROAT]
Edward, did you know
His Majesty's family
is the subject of a book?
Oh, really?
I--
Yes.
A short history written by self.
But long family.
Taller than British.
Also have hot air
machine for flying.
Isn't that unnatural?
You know, His Majesty is
a man of many interests.
He's kindly offered elephants
to help President Abraham
Lincoln win his civil w*r.
Really?
Yes.
They have no elephants
in forests of America.
Must be very poor country.
In Siam, you know,
the white elephant
is sacred to the royal family.
Quite rare.
So I believe.
Oh, yes.
Its value is symbolized in
a pendant worn at all times
by the King.
Now future King wear.
Show.
Father.
Show.
One hopes his young highness
has not been too generous.
You gave away?
Father, may we
discuss this privately?
Who, who, who?
Your, Majesty, surely
this is not the time.
No, no, please no.
[SOBBING]
(ANGRILY) Dishonor.
Servant girl and Prince.
Forbidden.
Dishonor, dishonor.
Do as custom demand.
Your Majesty.
Whipped till death.
No.
You cannot mean--
Would be better if teacher
understand this matter does not
concern her.
Outrageous.
Your Majesty, don't
throw away all you've done.
This girl hurt your vanity.
But she didn't hurt your heart.
If you do this, you--
you-- you haven't got a heart.
Silence!
I am King, as I was born to be.
And Siam to be governed
in my way, not your way.
There is no barbarian
worse than weak King.
And I am strong
King, do you hear?
Strong.
I cannot believe
you'd do this.
You will believe when you hear
whip as you run down the hall.
I'm not going to run.
I'm going to stand right
here and watch you.
Every blow cut into my heart and
tell me who and what you are.
Down, down, down.
Father, no.
I beg you.
Silence.
Send her back to Burma.
No!
She'll be k*lled!
Send her back.
ANNA: Louis.
Bring them back.
See what you've done.
Go back.
Go back.
I have brought disgrace to you.
No.
You brought love.
Far better than crown or throne.
You give these up?
For you.
If we stay, death.
If we go to Burma, death.
We have no country to go to.
We make our own
country in jungle.
You.
Me A country of us.
PRINCE CHULALONGKORN:
Go back, Louis.
LOUIS: I want to help.
Not for boy.
You'll get hurt.
[LAUGHING]
That's what you
said about kickboxing.
And I bloodied your nose.
[SCREAMING]
Ah!
Into jungle.
Go to the ancient
place of the elephants.
Maybe [INAUDIBLE].
KRALAHOME: That's where
I'll drive them to.
Bring back their bodies
after the accident.
There's going
to be an accident?
Oh, yes.
You're so smart.
Of course I'm smart.
I'm going to be King.
Big deal you are.
You can yell at little fat
man with teeth missing.
Everything is working
out perfectly for me.
[ELEPHANT TRUMPETING]
Are dangerous
animals in jungle?
I do not know.
First time in jungle.
[WHISTLING]
Quickly.
This way.
So sorry to frighten you, but
I couldn't let you go that way.
Which way?
Decisions, decisions.
Let me help you.
[SCREAMING]
Stay to the right.
The right.
To the right.
Oh, how will you get to the
ancient place of the elephants
if you go that way?
[LAUGHING]
[GROWLING]
When I make my
report, the entire fleet
will be dispatched.
That'll be that for
this King of Siam.
And if something dire happens
to those young people--
Oh, Edward, please.
The man's a brute.
He's-- he's-- he's
not a gentleman.
The King.
Stop!
Look out!
This river.
Edge of kingdom.
If we cross, we are safe.
There.
Yes.
Yes.
I've got them just
where I want them.
I go first.
Make certain.
Thank you.
[LAUGHING]
MASTER LITTLE: Soon they
fall in river, flow down,
they get sucked
into [INAUDIBLE]..
And that be that.
The Kralahome very good
at "Kralahome-ing."
Is safe enough.
Come, Tuptim.
You can do it.
[GRUNTING]
No!
Tuptim.
Haha!
The Prince is history.
And I am the future.
Chulalongkorn!
Tuptim!
No!
Yes.
Tuptim.
What?
Father, she's gone.
Hurry, Rama.
To the other side.
[SCREAMING]
I see the balloon.
The King has the Prince
with him, but no Tuptim.
What about Louis?
Do you see him?
No.
[SCREAMING]
No.
This, I must do.
Quick, little brain.
What would Kralahome do?
Hurry, Rama.
Down.
Huh?
Please don't let it be a mango.
LOUIS: Fire.
There's Louis.
He's safe.
Oh, thank heaven.
Ah!
Father.
Tuptim.
[SCREAMING]
Look out.
Rama, up.
Faster, Rama.
Tuptim.
Oh, thank you.
All right.
You did it.
You did it.
KRALAHOME: No!
I hate happy endings.
It's not over yet.
There they are.
And look, there's Louis.
Good fellow,
this King of yours.
Well done.
Oh, no.
Anna, where are you going?
No!
Hah!
Quick.
Must jump while over water.
No.
Rama, jump.
[GROWLING]
Aha!
Siam is mine.
Sir Edward.
I can explain this.
[SOBBING]
I will say when
is time to cry.
KING MONGKUT:
Chulalongkorn, rise.
Mrs. Anna, you take notes.
You take notes from next King.
Maybe I get better.
Maybe not.
Why is your head
higher than mine?
Suppose you are King.
What would you do?
I would make proclamations.
Yes, yes.
First, regarding
who shall have books,
I believe learning is
good thing for everyone,
possibly even scientific.
Second, no more
bowing like toad.
I don't believe
this is good thing,
causing embarrassing fatigue,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Up, up, up.
Two lines like soldiers.
And further--
More?
--all persons shall have
freedom to marry who they want,
even Royal Prince.
You are angry with me, father?
Why do you ask question?
When you are King, you know.
Someday, my son, you
will be great King.
You will bow.
The gentleman in this way,
only bending at the waist.
Very good.
Now, the ladies will
make dip, like British.
No.
No, no, no.
Just the girls dip.
The boys must--
must bow, like this.
No.
Just the-- just the boys bow.
Are listening to me?
[ELEPHANT TRUMPETING]
Haven't they heard
of elephant litter?
One good thing about the
new job, oh, Soiled One,
I have a tall, stupid assistant.
Ow!
No, no, no.
I am begging you.
I brush you every hour.
I floss you every second.
I-- Traitor.
Master Little
nothing but gums now.
You wanted to see
me, Your Majesty.
Proclamation my son made
I believe to be your fault.
Oh, I hope so, Your Majesty.
I do hope so.
You have been most
difficult woman.
I think there be many English
women, but only one Mrs. Anna.
God is merciful.
Yes, Your Majesty.
God is merciful.
You still intend to leave?
I'm not sure.
This heart of mine which
you say I have not got.
Oh, forgive me, Your Majesty.
I said many things.
You have been
great help to me.
And I wish to make gift.
That is not necessary.
I will tell what is
necessary Go, go, go.
Outside palace.
You like?
I'm speechless.
For once.
At the banquet,
we did not dance.
No.
No, Your Majesty.
Was looking forward.
As was I.
You would accept dancing
invitation from King?
No, Your Majesty.
But I would accept gladly
from a very, good friend.
Good.
Now.
Now, Your Majesty?
You teach, you
teach, you teach.
Well, it's very
simple, the polka.
It goes one, two, three.
And one, two, three.
And one, two, three.
(SINGING) And shall we dance?
One, two, three, and.
On a bright cloud of
music, shall we fly?
One, two, three, and.
Shall we dance?
One, two, three, and.
Shall we then say good
night and mean goodbye?
One, two, three, and.
Oh, perchance when the last
little star has left the sky.
Shall we still be
together with our arms
around each other?
And shall you be my new--
Romance.
On the clear understanding
that this kind of thing
can happen--
BOTH: Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Now.
BOTH: One, two, three.
And one, two, three.
And one, two, three.
Something wrong?
I know.
I know.
I forget.
And this time I remember.
BOTH: One, two, three.
And one, two, three.
And one, two.
KING MONGKUT: And one, two.
That's splendid, Your Majesty.
KING MONGKUT: Splendid.
Splendid.
One, two.
And, one-- You have
throw me off count.
BOTH: And one, two, three.
And one, two, three.
And one, two, three.
ANNA: And one, two--
But, uh, this is not right.
Yes it is.
You were doing--
No.
Not holding hands like this.
No, as a matter of fact.
Was like this.
Yes.
Come.
We do it again.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) We kiss in a shadow.
We hide from the moon.
Our meetings are few
and over too soon.
I have dreamed that
your arms are lovely.
I have dreamed what
a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every
word you whisper.
We speak in a whisper.
When you're close.
Close to me.
Afraid to be heard.
Alone in our secret.
Together we sigh for one
smiling day to be free.
Now you'll look
in the glow of me.
To kiss in the sunlight.
I have dreamed and
enjoyed the view.
And say to the sky.
In these dreams,
I've loved you so
that by now I think I know what
it's like to be loved by you.
Behold and believe.
Be loved by you.
He will not always say what
you would have him say.
But now and then he'll
say something wonderful.
The thoughtless things he'll
do will hurt and worry you.
Then all at once he'll
do something wonderful.
He has a thousand dreams
that won't come true.
You know that he
believes in them,
and that's enough for you.
You'll always go along.
Defend him when he's wrong.
And tell him when he's strong.
He is wonderful.
He'll always need your love.
And so he'll get your love.
A man who needs your
love can be wonderful.
