[Man Speaking Siamese]
2
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:53,837
- I'll get someone for the luggage.
- Thank you, Captain.
3
00:01:53,913 --> 00:01:58,009
Mother, these people are so funny.
Everybody goes barefoot.
4
00:01:58,084 --> 00:02:00,075
Stay where I can see you, Louis.
Watch him, Beebe.
5
00:02:00,153 --> 00:02:02,178
- Don't let him get all untidy.
- Yes, memsahib.
6
00:02:02,255 --> 00:02:04,348
Memsahib.
7
00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:06,415
Who is here to receive us?
8
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:09,826
Someone will meet us, Moonshee.
Do try and watch the luggage.
9
00:02:11,664 --> 00:02:13,723
No sign of anyone to meet you.
10
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,701
- You sure they knew you were coming?
- Oh, yes.
11
00:02:16,769 --> 00:02:19,567
I suppose all this
seems strange to you?
12
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,200
Not entirely. I feel as though
I already knew Siam.
13
00:02:23,276 --> 00:02:26,575
- Oh?
- I read a very interesting
book about it on the boat...
14
00:02:26,646 --> 00:02:28,773
by a man who visited it once.
15
00:02:28,848 --> 00:02:31,248
Don't smile.
It's really quite good.
16
00:02:31,317 --> 00:02:33,547
For instance, I knew
that was the royal palace.
17
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:36,054
- Right.
- You see?
18
00:02:36,122 --> 00:02:38,682
- Have you ever been inside it?
- Yes, almost all of it...
19
00:02:38,758 --> 00:02:40,749
except, of course, the nang hahn.
20
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:43,057
Oh, the harem, you mean.
21
00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:46,064
Yes. It's, uh, quite a place.
22
00:02:46,132 --> 00:02:48,225
I've heard it called a universe...
23
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:50,633
with a single sun
and a thousand moons...
24
00:02:50,703 --> 00:02:53,638
- the king being the sun, naturally.
- Good gracious.
25
00:02:53,706 --> 00:02:55,867
They run a bit of language out here.
26
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:59,639
They say, too, that he's the disc of light
they all revolve around.
27
00:02:59,712 --> 00:03:03,808
How many women revolve
around this disc of light?
28
00:03:03,883 --> 00:03:08,081
- Oh, 1,000 or more.
- Really?
29
00:03:08,154 --> 00:03:10,418
The book didn't mention that.
30
00:03:10,490 --> 00:03:15,120
[Chuckles] I haven't anything against that
book of yours, Mrs. Owens, but look here.
31
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:18,096
This is Siam.
There isn't even a consulate here.
32
00:03:18,164 --> 00:03:20,462
- You see...
- [Elephant Trumpets]
33
00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:24,731
- Hello.
- Someone to meet me, I suppose.
34
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:46,120
[Speaking Siamese]
35
00:03:46,192 --> 00:03:49,491
Mrs. Owens, may I present
His Excellency the Kralahome...
36
00:03:49,562 --> 00:03:53,896
Prime Minister of Siam.
Chow Koon, Mem Anna Owens.
37
00:03:58,171 --> 00:04:01,368
Are you lady who is to teach
children of royal family?
38
00:04:01,441 --> 00:04:04,604
- Yes.
- Have you friends in Bangkok?
39
00:04:04,677 --> 00:04:06,668
No, I know no one in Bangkok at all.
40
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:08,611
Are you married?
41
00:04:11,384 --> 00:04:13,375
I was married.
My husband is dead.
42
00:04:16,856 --> 00:04:19,654
[Speaking Siamese]
43
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:24,026
- How long your husband been dead?
- About a year.
44
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:26,725
What manner of man, uh,
your husband?
45
00:04:26,799 --> 00:04:31,202
He was an officer
in Her Majesty's Army, serving in...
46
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:38,577
Ask His Excellency why
it is necessary to know these things?
47
00:04:38,645 --> 00:04:40,704
[Man Speaking Siamese]
48
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:42,873
[Speaking Siamese]
49
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:46,381
My master says, if he ask...
50
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:49,114
it should be enough
for mem to answer.
51
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:54,692
Tell your master that his business with me
is in my capacity as governess.
52
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:58,253
It is not necessary for him
to pry into my personal affairs.
53
00:04:58,331 --> 00:05:00,663
[Speaking Siamese]
54
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:05,536
[Speaking Siamese]
55
00:05:05,605 --> 00:05:11,237
My master graciously says
mem need not talk at all.
56
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,939
His slaves will take her to palace.
57
00:05:14,013 --> 00:05:16,447
- Tell him to wait.
- Uh, Chow Koon!
58
00:05:16,516 --> 00:05:21,613
I was promised that a house of my own
would be provided for me on my arrival.
59
00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:24,282
- I wish to be taken there.
- [Speaking Siamese]
60
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:28,727
[Speaking Siamese]
61
00:05:28,795 --> 00:05:32,697
My master says if mem
does not wish to go to palace...
62
00:05:32,765 --> 00:05:37,464
she can go wherever she pleases.
63
00:05:37,537 --> 00:05:39,971
Why, that's the rudest man
I ever met in my life.
64
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:42,473
If that book of yours
had been any good at all...
65
00:05:42,542 --> 00:05:45,409
you'd know they ask personal questions
here just to be polite.
66
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:48,538
He wasn't being rude.
He came out to meet you in person.
67
00:05:48,614 --> 00:05:53,313
And you're a woman, and women do not
exist in Siam. They simply do not exist.
68
00:05:53,386 --> 00:05:55,718
I hope I'll have nothing more
to do with him.
69
00:05:55,788 --> 00:05:59,884
My dear young woman, you'd better realize
you can't do anything here without him.
70
00:05:59,959 --> 00:06:04,328
And if I were you, I'd see him first thing in the
morning and tell him you didn't understand...
71
00:06:04,397 --> 00:06:06,991
that you're sorry,
or as near it as you can manage.
72
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:14,402
Well, looks like you sleep
onboard tonight.
73
00:06:14,474 --> 00:06:18,968
Means I can't go with you in the morning,
get down the river early.
74
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:21,570
Oh, well, I'll find someone.
75
00:06:21,647 --> 00:06:24,582
- Thank you, Captain Orton.
- Not at all, ma'am.
76
00:06:31,991 --> 00:06:33,982
And don't worry, ma'am.
77
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,085
The king has invested money
in your passage...
78
00:06:36,162 --> 00:06:38,596
and he's, uh... he's very canny
about money.
79
00:06:38,664 --> 00:06:41,360
He'll see that you have a chance
to do your work.
80
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:45,728
[Speaking Siamese]
81
00:06:57,917 --> 00:07:00,750
[Siamese]
82
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:10,752
Mem.
[Siamese]
83
00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:45,390
He's not gonna wait for us.
84
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,435
[Siamese]
85
00:07:59,145 --> 00:08:02,012
Ahhh.
86
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:06,183
Good morning.
I wish to see your master.
87
00:08:06,252 --> 00:08:09,585
Mm. I will see. You will wait.
88
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:26,195
They write in such a funny way here.
89
00:08:26,272 --> 00:08:28,968
Don't be rude, darling.
Come here and wait quietly.
90
00:08:30,209 --> 00:08:32,939
- You will come this way.
- Thank you.
91
00:08:39,819 --> 00:08:41,878
You will wait.
92
00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:59,337
What shall I draw now?
93
00:08:59,405 --> 00:09:02,067
- Well, let's see. Draw an elephant.
- I just did.
94
00:09:02,141 --> 00:09:04,132
I wish we could go.
95
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:06,303
We're going to wait.
96
00:09:08,915 --> 00:09:12,510
My master wishes to know why
you come here, what you want.
97
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:16,250
Tell His Excellency
I did not understand...
98
00:09:16,322 --> 00:09:18,313
the honor he paid me
in coming to meet me.
99
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:21,360
I'm sorry I behaved ungraciously
and I came here to tell him so.
100
00:09:21,427 --> 00:09:23,588
[Siamese]
101
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:31,364
[Siamese]
102
00:09:31,437 --> 00:09:36,170
My master wishes to know if mem truly
regrets sin of having bad temper...
103
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:39,370
or if she only says so
in order to ask favor ofhim?
104
00:09:39,445 --> 00:09:41,538
L...
105
00:09:44,684 --> 00:09:46,675
Tell him it's both.
106
00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:50,552
I am sorry and I would like his help
in getting started with my work.
107
00:09:50,623 --> 00:09:53,217
[Siamese]
108
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:58,624
[Whispering] Why doesn't he have a coat on?
You make me wear one.
109
00:09:58,698 --> 00:10:01,496
- Quiet, dear.
- Let's go. I don't think I like him.
110
00:10:01,567 --> 00:10:03,762
[Laughing]
111
00:10:07,073 --> 00:10:11,066
- What is your name, boy?
- Louis Owens, sir.
112
00:10:11,143 --> 00:10:14,340
- Are you afraid of me?
- I don't think so.
113
00:10:14,413 --> 00:10:17,439
That is good. I like you.
114
00:10:19,151 --> 00:10:22,643
- Take seat. Sit down.
- Thank you.
115
00:10:22,722 --> 00:10:26,180
Your Excellency speaks English.
I didn't know.
116
00:10:26,258 --> 00:10:29,659
Not necessary to know everything
in first minutes.
117
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:38,327
What for you object to live in palace?
118
00:10:38,404 --> 00:10:41,737
Your Excellency,
I must have a place of my own...
119
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:45,903
where I can go when my duties
are over for the day.
120
00:10:45,978 --> 00:10:49,345
What you wish to do evenings
that cannot be done in palace?
121
00:10:49,415 --> 00:10:51,406
You don't understand,
Your Excellency.
122
00:10:51,484 --> 00:10:53,509
It isn't for some foolish reason.
123
00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:57,579
I came here to teach because I must work
to support myself and my son.
124
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:01,957
- Why you not marry again?
- Oh, no. Not ever.
125
00:11:02,028 --> 00:11:04,792
The only thing I want now
is to bring up my son.
126
00:11:04,864 --> 00:11:08,857
He's very like his father,
and I want him to grow up that way.
127
00:11:08,934 --> 00:11:11,596
That's difficult to do
in a strange country.
128
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:14,105
That's why we must
have a home of our own.
129
00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:16,801
This is very important to me,
Your Excellency.
130
00:11:16,876 --> 00:11:20,141
- Please believe that.
- You say king promise you this house?
131
00:11:20,212 --> 00:11:24,740
- Yes. I have the letter.
- You do not show me. I do not think you lie.
132
00:11:24,817 --> 00:11:28,947
But sometime His Majesty
do not remember everything he promise.
133
00:11:29,021 --> 00:11:31,717
But couldn't you remind him?
134
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:34,487
Mem, if I tell king
he breaks his promise...
135
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:37,552
I will make anger in him.
136
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:42,499
I think it is better if I make anger
in him about larger matters.
137
00:11:42,568 --> 00:11:44,593
Very well.
If you're afraid to tell him, I'm not.
138
00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:47,605
Will you arrange for me
to see him as soon as possible?
139
00:11:47,673 --> 00:11:49,664
You think you tell king
he breaks his promise?
140
00:11:49,742 --> 00:11:51,505
Yes, if that's necessary.
141
00:11:51,577 --> 00:11:54,808
Lfhe wants to get angry
about breaking his own promise...
142
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,145
Mem, I think I arrange
this meeting for you.
143
00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:00,344
- When?
- I do not know.
144
00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:02,444
His Majesty very busy now.
145
00:12:02,521 --> 00:12:04,751
Is he too busy to remember
he asked me to come?
146
00:12:04,824 --> 00:12:07,952
Unfortunately, new year and you
arrive at same time.
147
00:12:08,027 --> 00:12:10,018
New year more important.
148
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:12,087
It wouldn't take
10 minutes of his time...
149
00:12:12,164 --> 00:12:16,157
And after new year is festival
called Songkran, with fireworks.
150
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:18,328
That will take week or so maybe.
151
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:21,703
- Then it's time for cremation of late cousin.
- But surely...
152
00:12:21,774 --> 00:12:26,973
Then His Majesty goes upriver
to receive sacred white elephant.
153
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:30,607
Then ceremonies of tonsure of hair
of oldest daughter.
154
00:12:30,683 --> 00:12:32,776
What am I supposed to do
in the meantime?
155
00:12:32,852 --> 00:12:35,844
Wait. Live in palace and wait.
156
00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:38,685
This is ridiculous.
I came here to teach.
157
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:41,693
Mem, this country has been here
1,000 years before you came...
158
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,786
and must continue.
159
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:47,390
That may be, but I intend to keep
my part of the bargain...
160
00:12:47,466 --> 00:12:50,060
and I assure you
I expect the king to keep his.
161
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,536
Mem, I do not think king
will remember this promise...
162
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:02,377
but I do think will be
very interesting meeting.
163
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:07,377
[Siamese]
164
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:16,885
I don't think we'd better open this one.
165
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:19,829
- It's full of things I didn't know what to do with.
- [Sobs] Yes, memsahib.
166
00:13:19,899 --> 00:13:21,890
Beebe, do stop crying.
167
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:24,527
I told you Moonshee
will probably be here any minute.
168
00:13:24,603 --> 00:13:26,594
I think I shall never see him again.
169
00:13:26,672 --> 00:13:30,233
- They said he could not live here with us...
- Nonsense.
170
00:13:30,309 --> 00:13:34,006
You must have misunderstood.
It's just there isn't room for him here now.
171
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:37,105
- Yes, memsahib.
- Do you remember where I packed those sheets?
172
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:39,378
- I see fireworks.
- It's New Year's Day.
173
00:13:39,451 --> 00:13:41,510
No, it isn't, Mother. It's only April.
174
00:13:41,587 --> 00:13:43,782
It's the New Year's out here.
175
00:13:43,856 --> 00:13:48,589
I won't sleep a wink tonight unless
we have our own sheets on those beds.
176
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,754
After dinner,
may we go see the fireworks?
177
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:54,231
We'll see. Ah, yes.
They're in here. I remember now.
178
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:58,669
There, Beebe. All right. Come on, darling.
Now I'll see about dinner.
179
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:11,408
We would like to have some dinner.
180
00:14:11,483 --> 00:14:16,216
Something to eat. Eat.
181
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:19,485
No, wait a moment.
What part of the palace are we in?
182
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:27,460
Well, poor souls.
They don't seem to understand.
183
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:31,902
- What made them shut the door?
- Uh, I don't know...
184
00:14:34,807 --> 00:14:37,173
What are they doing there?
185
00:14:37,243 --> 00:14:39,734
Oh! Oh, no!
186
00:14:41,313 --> 00:14:44,416
Oh. So that's why Moonshee
can't be here with us.
187
00:14:44,549 --> 00:14:48,815
Oh, go away. Beebe.
188
00:14:50,355 --> 00:14:52,346
What a thing for me to do.
189
00:14:52,424 --> 00:14:55,120
And I said so positively.
190
00:14:55,193 --> 00:14:57,252
Oh, Louis, you'll have to
forgive your mother.
191
00:14:57,328 --> 00:14:59,319
I said we'd have a home of our own...
192
00:14:59,397 --> 00:15:01,422
and here I've brought you
straight into a harem.
193
00:15:01,499 --> 00:15:03,490
- [Laughing]
- What does that mean? What is a harem?
194
00:15:03,568 --> 00:15:05,968
[Weepy Chuckling]
Well, it's... it's...
195
00:15:06,037 --> 00:15:08,005
Oh, don't ask me now.
196
00:15:08,072 --> 00:15:10,336
When you ask me something like that,
I should have a good answer...
197
00:15:10,408 --> 00:15:13,275
and I will,
but I just can't think of one now.
198
00:15:13,344 --> 00:15:15,403
[Sobbing]
199
00:15:27,525 --> 00:15:30,153
Do I have to wear this suit,
Mother?
200
00:15:30,228 --> 00:15:32,458
Don't sulk, dear.
Come, we must hurry.
201
00:15:32,530 --> 00:15:35,021
Where did I put my...
Oh, here it is.
202
00:15:41,372 --> 00:15:43,363
The day is here, Mem Owens.
203
00:15:43,441 --> 00:15:47,878
It is unfortunate mem had to wait
for new year and cremation...
204
00:15:47,946 --> 00:15:50,039
but at least she's ahead
of white elephant.
205
00:15:50,114 --> 00:15:52,582
Who is going to present me
to the king?
206
00:15:52,650 --> 00:15:55,710
Oh, by all means,
I present you myself.
207
00:15:55,787 --> 00:15:59,382
First, let us observe manner
of entering presence of His Majesty.
208
00:15:59,457 --> 00:16:02,984
Let us suppose
Lord of Light sits here.
209
00:16:03,061 --> 00:16:05,655
Here is door.
[Siamese]
210
00:16:16,074 --> 00:16:19,601
- Oh, no.
- It is custom of country.
211
00:16:19,677 --> 00:16:22,168
I couldn't.
I'm very sorry, but I couldn't.
212
00:16:22,247 --> 00:16:24,772
His Majesty very sensitive
about such matters.
213
00:16:24,849 --> 00:16:28,444
Your Excellency, I intend to show
His Majesty the utmost respect...
214
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,580
but he cannot possibly expect me
to crawl on the floor.
215
00:16:31,656 --> 00:16:33,954
I wouldn't do that
for my own queen.
216
00:16:34,025 --> 00:16:36,687
What you do in presence
of your own queen?
217
00:16:36,761 --> 00:16:38,820
I'll show you.
218
00:16:44,669 --> 00:16:46,899
Do as you wish, mem.
219
00:16:46,971 --> 00:16:49,701
But remember,
you are not only one with temper.
220
00:16:49,774 --> 00:16:51,969
This king has temper too.
221
00:16:52,043 --> 00:16:54,068
I return when it is time.
222
00:16:54,145 --> 00:16:56,204
You will wait.
223
00:17:04,889 --> 00:17:09,223
Mother, I can walk on my knees
if they want me to. That's easy.
224
00:17:09,294 --> 00:17:12,320
Louis, I want you to walk in and make
your bow exactly as I've shown you.
225
00:17:12,397 --> 00:17:15,457
Don't you dare crawl in like a worm.
Don't you dare!
226
00:17:16,668 --> 00:17:18,727
Yes, Mother.
227
00:17:24,008 --> 00:17:26,306
Perhaps they don't like us here
or something.
228
00:17:26,377 --> 00:17:28,572
Oh, this is perfectly childish.
229
00:17:31,382 --> 00:17:34,681
- The mem is ready now?
- Quite ready.
230
00:18:01,512 --> 00:18:06,142
Sorry, mem, His Majesty
has concluded audience.
231
00:18:06,217 --> 00:18:08,447
You mean he isn't going
to receive us after all?
232
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:11,682
Some other day, not today.
233
00:18:11,756 --> 00:18:15,385
- I wish to be presented now.
- I do not advise it.
234
00:18:16,628 --> 00:18:18,721
Louis.
235
00:18:34,746 --> 00:18:37,010
Who? Who? Who?
236
00:18:37,081 --> 00:18:39,914
Your Majesty,
I present new English governess...
237
00:18:39,984 --> 00:18:42,714
Mrs. Anna Owens, and son Louis.
238
00:19:09,414 --> 00:19:11,678
How old shall you be?
239
00:19:11,749 --> 00:19:16,209
You do not look like scientific person
for teaching of school.
240
00:19:16,287 --> 00:19:20,690
- How old shall you be?
- I am 150 years old, Your Majesty.
241
00:19:37,141 --> 00:19:39,803
In what year were you born?
242
00:19:43,614 --> 00:19:47,072
1712, Your Majesty.
243
00:19:47,151 --> 00:19:50,484
- And how many years shall you be married?
- Several, Your Majesty.
244
00:19:56,327 --> 00:19:59,660
How many grandchildren shall you have by now?
How many? How many? How many?
245
00:19:59,731 --> 00:20:03,098
Ah! You do not answer that so quick.
246
00:20:03,167 --> 00:20:06,000
I make better questions
than you make answers, hmm?
247
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:09,733
[Laughing]
248
00:20:12,977 --> 00:20:15,241
[Siamese]
249
00:20:15,313 --> 00:20:17,372
[Laughter]
250
00:20:22,386 --> 00:20:25,514
You not afraid to tell king
something is not his business?
251
00:20:27,558 --> 00:20:31,324
It would not be a compliment
to His Majesty if I were afraid of him.
252
00:20:31,395 --> 00:20:36,162
Ah. Not to be afraid
is good thing in scientific mind.
253
00:20:37,835 --> 00:20:39,928
I think maybe...
254
00:20:40,004 --> 00:20:42,234
you will make very good
school-teaching.
255
00:21:05,096 --> 00:21:07,530
These... my wives.
256
00:21:07,598 --> 00:21:12,729
This... Chow Chon Son Llin,
who is favorite.
257
00:21:12,804 --> 00:21:15,705
They not speak English,
and I haven't time for teaching...
258
00:21:15,773 --> 00:21:18,469
being busy with foreign affairs
and other situations.
259
00:21:19,544 --> 00:21:21,535
[Siamese]
260
00:21:21,612 --> 00:21:24,137
We'll get my children.
261
00:21:24,215 --> 00:21:26,240
I have fine idea.
262
00:21:26,317 --> 00:21:29,480
You teach all my wives
as have sense to learn.
263
00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:31,647
Siam be very modern country.
264
00:21:31,722 --> 00:21:34,054
Very good...
everybody speaking English.
265
00:21:34,125 --> 00:21:36,355
I would be happy to, Your Majesty.
266
00:21:36,427 --> 00:21:38,987
Ah, here come my children.
267
00:21:44,769 --> 00:21:47,465
You see, mostly boys.
268
00:21:53,578 --> 00:21:56,240
Not all. Few more.
269
00:22:09,827 --> 00:22:12,762
[King]
Ahhh.! Oh.
270
00:22:18,769 --> 00:22:20,760
How many are there, Your Majesty?
271
00:22:20,838 --> 00:22:22,863
They are not all here, of course.
272
00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:24,931
Only those old enough for school.
273
00:22:25,009 --> 00:22:27,068
I have 67 children. Not many.
274
00:22:27,144 --> 00:22:29,135
I began marriage a little late.
275
00:22:29,213 --> 00:22:31,306
Which is the eldest?
276
00:22:34,185 --> 00:22:37,518
Ah, this one.
This is Prince Chulalongkorn.
277
00:22:38,656 --> 00:22:42,114
This... Princess Fa-Ying.
278
00:22:42,193 --> 00:22:44,320
This... Prince Tay Wa Wong.
This...
279
00:22:44,395 --> 00:22:47,887
[Chuckles] No. Too many.
Will take time to learn.
280
00:22:47,965 --> 00:22:51,901
They're a wonderful-Iooking family,
Your Majesty. You make me wish I had 67.
281
00:22:51,969 --> 00:22:55,132
Ah, is impossible.
That is very funny.
282
00:22:55,206 --> 00:22:57,071
Come.
283
00:23:15,059 --> 00:23:18,756
I consider Mrs. Owens suitable
for teaching wives as well as children.
284
00:23:18,829 --> 00:23:22,287
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- You shall begin school next Thursday.
285
00:23:22,366 --> 00:23:25,301
That is best day for such undertaking
according to astrologers.
286
00:23:25,369 --> 00:23:27,929
- Very well, Your Majesty.
- I am very pleased with this lady.
287
00:23:28,005 --> 00:23:31,099
Why was she not presented here
more soon?
288
00:23:35,513 --> 00:23:37,879
150 year, hmm?
289
00:23:39,250 --> 00:23:41,946
How many grandchildren?
[Chuckling]
290
00:23:42,019 --> 00:23:44,351
You may go.
291
00:23:55,566 --> 00:23:59,229
Good day, Your Excellency.
Come, darling.
292
00:24:23,494 --> 00:24:25,519
Is this the school?
293
00:24:25,596 --> 00:24:28,258
I don't know, dear,
but we'll find out soon.
294
00:24:35,573 --> 00:24:38,406
Don't they even
start school on time here?
295
00:24:38,476 --> 00:24:41,536
Perhaps the astrologers found
a star they'd overlooked.
296
00:24:41,612 --> 00:24:44,843
[Gong]
297
00:25:05,169 --> 00:25:07,467
What's the matter now, Mother?
298
00:25:07,538 --> 00:25:10,530
I don't know. Must have something
to do with the king.
299
00:25:10,608 --> 00:25:15,011
[King]
June 12, 1862.! June 12, 1862.!
300
00:25:22,053 --> 00:25:24,283
June 12, 1862!
301
00:25:24,355 --> 00:25:27,449
June 12, 1862.!
302
00:25:28,893 --> 00:25:30,918
He is fool!
303
00:25:30,995 --> 00:25:33,623
You understand meaning
of word "agility"?
304
00:25:33,697 --> 00:25:36,291
I think Your Majesty's giving
a very good illustration of it.
305
00:25:36,367 --> 00:25:38,392
You see, she understands!
306
00:25:38,469 --> 00:25:41,495
This ignorant and lazy man
is my secretary.
307
00:25:41,572 --> 00:25:45,406
Understands nothing.
All he ever wants to do is sleep, sleep!
308
00:25:46,877 --> 00:25:50,643
On June 12, 1862, which is today...
309
00:25:50,714 --> 00:25:52,739
and therefore birthday for me.
310
00:25:52,817 --> 00:25:56,184
You see, I am young and strong.
311
00:25:56,253 --> 00:26:00,155
- I have agility like young man!
- Of course, Your Majesty.
312
00:26:00,224 --> 00:26:03,489
Then how can I be spare man?
How can I?
313
00:26:03,561 --> 00:26:06,257
Perhaps if Your Majesty
could explain a little more.
314
00:26:06,330 --> 00:26:08,355
Birthday should be happy day.
315
00:26:08,432 --> 00:26:10,525
And what is first happening?
316
00:26:10,601 --> 00:26:14,697
It is writing about me in British newspaper
from Singapore says I am spare man.
317
00:26:14,772 --> 00:26:17,866
A king cannot be spare man!
318
00:26:17,942 --> 00:26:20,604
How can I be spared from work
which is necessary?
319
00:26:20,678 --> 00:26:23,112
Who can fill my place?
I ask you this!
320
00:26:23,180 --> 00:26:25,171
Who can fill my place?
321
00:26:25,249 --> 00:26:28,514
Your Majesty, the word spare
has two meanings.
322
00:26:28,586 --> 00:26:31,521
One of them is "extra,"
the other is "thin."
323
00:26:31,589 --> 00:26:35,685
They don't mean to say
that you're unnecessary, just thin.
324
00:26:41,932 --> 00:26:45,561
- Why should you contradict me?
- I'm only trying to help you.
325
00:26:45,636 --> 00:26:47,900
Is it help to say I am wrong?
326
00:26:47,972 --> 00:26:51,237
How can king be wrong and woman be right?
I ask you that. How?
327
00:26:51,308 --> 00:26:54,573
I'm afraid, Your Majesty,
that it has happened sometimes.
328
00:26:54,645 --> 00:26:58,741
It is clear you are not scientific.
Why are you here?
329
00:26:58,816 --> 00:27:01,876
Because you told me you intended
opening my school today.
330
00:27:01,952 --> 00:27:06,753
My astrologers are fools. How can this
be good day for schools? You may go.
331
00:27:09,460 --> 00:27:12,588
Very well, Your Majesty, but since
you've postponed opening the school...
332
00:27:12,663 --> 00:27:14,688
there's something
I would like to discuss with you.
333
00:27:14,765 --> 00:27:18,360
I should like to use the time
getting settled in my own house.
334
00:27:18,435 --> 00:27:21,199
- House? House? House?
- The house you promised me.
335

Conditions different suddenly.
336
00:27:23,340 --> 00:27:26,400
- Have we not agreed to teach our women?
- Well, of course I have.
337
00:27:26,477 --> 00:27:28,707
How can you teach them
if you live outside?
338
00:27:28,779 --> 00:27:31,373
It is our pleasure that you
shall reside within this palace.
339
00:27:31,448 --> 00:27:33,882
If Your Majesty remembers,
you promised me a house.
340
00:27:33,951 --> 00:27:36,385
I will do remembering
of what I promise.
341
00:27:36,453 --> 00:27:38,284
Who is king here?
342
00:27:38,355 --> 00:27:40,915
I remind you...
343
00:27:40,991 --> 00:27:44,358
I do not know condition
which will arise.
344
00:27:44,428 --> 00:27:47,261
I do not know anything
but that you are my servant...
345
00:27:47,331 --> 00:27:51,529
and that it's our pleasure that you
shall reside within this palace...
346
00:27:51,602 --> 00:27:53,695
and you shall obey.
347
00:27:53,771 --> 00:27:56,365
Your Majesty, I'm prepared
to obey all your commands...
348
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,431
as far as they concern
my duties as a teacher.
349
00:27:58,509 --> 00:28:01,808
You shall live in palace.
You shall live in palace! You shall...
350
00:28:06,183 --> 00:28:09,152
Come back! Come back!
351
00:28:09,220 --> 00:28:12,121
I command you, come back!
352
00:28:17,127 --> 00:28:19,118
That king hasn't very good manners.
353
00:28:19,196 --> 00:28:21,426
His mother certainly
didn't teach him not to shout.
354
00:28:21,498 --> 00:28:24,058
Women don't seem to count
for very much out here.

"How can a king be wrong
and a woman be right?"
356
00:28:27,004 --> 00:28:29,837
Well, the Disc of Light
isn't going to talk to me like that.
357
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:35,569
Beebe, take Louis
into the other room.
358
00:28:37,181 --> 00:28:39,411
Yes, what do you want?
359
00:28:39,483 --> 00:28:41,474
I have been ordered
into Forbidden City...
360
00:28:41,552 --> 00:28:44,077
so I could personally
conduct mem to house...
361
00:28:44,154 --> 00:28:47,089
His Majesty has graciously
decided she should have.
362
00:28:47,157 --> 00:28:49,148
A house outside the palace?
363
00:28:49,226 --> 00:28:51,251
His Majesty instruct me to say...
364
00:28:51,328 --> 00:28:54,991
he desire to observe fully
terms of his promise.
365
00:28:56,700 --> 00:28:58,395
Well.
366
00:29:22,526 --> 00:29:24,687
Is this it?
367
00:29:42,546 --> 00:29:45,913
Get out of my way!
368
00:29:45,983 --> 00:29:48,781
Get out of my way!
369
00:29:52,122 --> 00:29:54,989
What was it like? Is there a stable
for my pony when I get it?
370
00:29:55,059 --> 00:29:58,085
- Is it on the river?
- Oh, Louis, it was horrible.
371
00:29:58,162 --> 00:30:01,222
And he did it deliberately
to teach me a lesson...
372
00:30:01,298 --> 00:30:03,425
to put me in my place.
373
00:30:07,905 --> 00:30:10,396
But he'll rue this day,
let me tell you...
374
00:30:10,474 --> 00:30:12,908
if he knows the meaning
of the word rue.
375
00:30:12,976 --> 00:30:15,410
Unpack these things, Beebe.
Unpack everything.
376
00:30:15,479 --> 00:30:18,539
- But, memsahib, you said...
- It doesn't make any difference what I said.
377
00:30:18,615 --> 00:30:21,049
That man's going to give me
a house before I leave...
378
00:30:21,118 --> 00:30:23,109
if I have to stay here the rest of my life.
379
00:30:23,187 --> 00:30:26,679
I'll not just go away and let him
sit here laughing at me.
380
00:30:26,757 --> 00:30:28,816
[Sobs]
I'll not.
381
00:30:30,928 --> 00:30:34,261
Mrs. Owens has graciously
changed her plans...
382
00:30:34,331 --> 00:30:36,856
so will live in royal palace...
383
00:30:36,934 --> 00:30:40,165
and be free for question
of education at all times.

[Squealing, Giggling Stops]

00:31:48,071 --> 00:31:51,131
They think you wear dress like that...
397
00:31:51,208 --> 00:31:53,335
because you're shaped
like that down there.
398
00:31:53,410 --> 00:31:56,038
- [Giggling]
- Oh, you speak English.
399
00:31:56,113 --> 00:31:58,604
Good morning, sir.
400
00:31:58,682 --> 00:32:00,673
I am very glad to see you.
401
00:32:00,751 --> 00:32:03,720
I think of you very often.
402
00:32:03,787 --> 00:32:06,551

and the Earth.

- Thiang.
- Lady Thiang.
407

- Yes, sir.
- How fortunate.
408

I shall ask you to help me
in explaining to the others.

00:32:51,268 --> 00:32:55,364
The usual way to begin would
be with the English alphabet...
413
00:32:55,439 --> 00:32:57,430
but I should like
to impress His Majesty...
414
00:32:57,507 --> 00:32:59,634
with the way English people feel.
415

[Siamese]
416
00:33:03,413 --> 00:33:07,543
Therefore, we will begin
by learning a song or two...
417

- [Thiang Translating]
- Or a sentence or two...
418
00:33:09,820 --> 00:33:11,879
which will express English feeling.
419

For instance, this one.
420
00:33:14,624 --> 00:33:16,683
It's an old proverb.
421
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,594
"If a man break faith with me...

deceive me twice...

many gifts this morning.

by governor of Lao province.

ofhis youngest brother.

Ah. What favor shall
this governor want now?
431
00:34:38,442 --> 00:34:41,673
Never mind. Write letter.
Say thank you.
432
00:34:44,214 --> 00:34:47,615
Make it nice letter.

I do not know, Your Majesty.

There is writing on it.

Read it to me, oh, my father.

have learned in school.

This is the thought for the day:

A promise delayed...
444
00:36:27,484 --> 00:36:30,385
is justice deferred.

00:36:30,453 --> 00:36:33,081
A promise neglected...
446
00:36:33,156 --> 00:36:36,216
is a truth untold.
447
00:36:36,293 --> 00:36:41,492

and I shall do all I can
to help you...
679
00:51:40,295 --> 00:51:43,423
but for the present,
I wish you to recite with the class.
680
00:51:46,602 --> 00:51:49,730
[Chattering]
681
00:51:56,778 --> 00:51:59,838
Oh. You wanted to see me,
Lady Thiang?
682
00:51:59,915 --> 00:52:01,974
Yes, sir.
683
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:06,009
I'm glad you stayed. I wanted to thank you
for warning me about Tuptim.
684
00:52:06,088 --> 00:52:08,079
Yes, sir.
685
00:52:08,156 --> 00:52:10,750
I don't quite understand
about Tuptim being the favorite.
686
00:52:10,826 --> 00:52:13,158
I thought that Lady Son Klin...
687
00:52:13,228 --> 00:52:16,493
Why you think
Lady Son Klin not here?
688
00:52:16,565 --> 00:52:20,023
- Oh, I thought perhaps she was ill or...
- She in prison.
689
00:52:20,102 --> 00:52:22,070
But what for?
690
00:52:22,137 --> 00:52:26,267
Because she gamble too much,
which is law...
691
00:52:26,341 --> 00:52:28,571
but she do not
go to prison for this...
692
00:52:28,644 --> 00:52:31,112
if she is still favorite.
693
00:52:31,179 --> 00:52:34,876
- Is there anything we can do?
- She is young.
694
00:52:34,950 --> 00:52:37,282
She will become
used to such things.
695
00:52:37,352 --> 00:52:41,220
I will help her
when this can be done...
696
00:52:41,289 --> 00:52:43,917
but it is hard.
697
00:52:43,992 --> 00:52:46,187
I not in favor with my lord.
698
00:52:46,261 --> 00:52:49,287
- Oh?
- Not for long time.
699
00:52:49,364 --> 00:52:52,197
My lord's table...
700
00:52:52,267 --> 00:52:54,792
I taste food there, that is all.
701
00:52:54,870 --> 00:52:58,033
- For fear of poison?
- Yes, sir.
702
00:52:58,106 --> 00:53:02,202
Guard my lord, that is all.
703
00:53:02,277 --> 00:53:05,110
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- No, sir.
704
00:53:05,180 --> 00:53:08,445
No, not for me, sorry.
705
00:53:08,517 --> 00:53:12,783
I Chow Chom Manda,
mother royal prince.
706
00:53:12,854 --> 00:53:15,288
Prince Chulalongkorn?
707
00:53:15,357 --> 00:53:19,293
Yes, sir. Yes. My little boy.
708
00:53:19,361 --> 00:53:24,162
- You like little boy?
- Yes, of course.
709
00:53:24,232 --> 00:53:28,566
You think my little boy learn?
710
00:53:28,637 --> 00:53:31,800
Well, yes. He seems very bright.
711
00:53:31,873 --> 00:53:33,807
Please, mem.
712
00:53:34,943 --> 00:53:37,673
You do not mind
that it is hard for him...
713
00:53:37,746 --> 00:53:40,977
hard to learn from woman.
714
00:53:41,049 --> 00:53:44,177
He wants much to learn.
715
00:53:44,252 --> 00:53:49,690
Please, you will help him
to learn all wisdom.
716
00:53:49,758 --> 00:53:52,420
That is most important thing.
717
00:53:52,494 --> 00:53:55,725
Yes, of course.
And I'm sure he'll do beautifully.
718
00:53:57,566 --> 00:54:02,469
Well, after today,
I think I can manage a large cup of tea.
719
00:54:02,537 --> 00:54:05,165
Louis!
720
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,334
Thank you, Lady Thiang,
for all your help.
721
00:54:08,410 --> 00:54:10,401
Good-bye, sir.
722
00:54:12,180 --> 00:54:14,375
Ready for tea? I'm sure I am.
723
00:54:14,449 --> 00:54:17,748
Well, we might as well, I suppose.
724
00:54:20,355 --> 00:54:23,051
Oh, dear.
What seems to be the trouble?
725
00:54:24,459 --> 00:54:26,484
I think you'd better tell me.
726
00:54:26,561 --> 00:54:29,029
Well, I can't make any sense of it.
727
00:54:29,097 --> 00:54:31,657
He says nobody can touch his head
because it's sacred...
728
00:54:31,733 --> 00:54:33,724
and his shoulders are, almost.
729
00:54:33,802 --> 00:54:36,862
Anyone who struck me upon head
would have to be killed.
730
00:54:36,938 --> 00:54:38,963
When I am king like my father...
731
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,235
no one may stand
so head is higher than mine.
732
00:54:41,309 --> 00:54:43,334
So the only way
they know how to fight...
733
00:54:43,411 --> 00:54:47,313
is to hold a long stick and beat
each other on the shins and legs with it.
734
00:54:47,382 --> 00:54:51,250
You might just as well stand and kick each
other's shins, but he wouldn't even do that.
735
00:54:51,319 --> 00:54:55,016
It is a matter that takes much skill.
I would've beaten him very badly.
736
00:54:55,090 --> 00:54:57,524
I see.
737
00:54:57,592 --> 00:55:01,255
But suppose you tell me why
it was necessary to fight in the first place.
738
00:55:01,329 --> 00:55:06,562
Well, he said I wasn't a man because I told you
I was sorry about giving him the book...
739
00:55:06,635 --> 00:55:09,627
and a man shouldn't tell a woman
he's sorry, not about anything.
740
00:55:10,806 --> 00:55:12,933
Oh.
741
00:55:14,075 --> 00:55:16,066
Tell me, Your Royal Highness...
742
00:55:16,144 --> 00:55:20,171
if your father corrected you about
something, would you resent that?
743
00:55:20,248 --> 00:55:24,548
He is man. He is very wise.
He knows everything.
744
00:55:24,619 --> 00:55:27,019
Well, you see, in our country...
745
00:55:27,088 --> 00:55:30,455
it's possible for me to be
almost like a father to Louis...
746
00:55:30,525 --> 00:55:32,550
even though I am a woman.
747
00:55:32,627 --> 00:55:34,618
And because we love
one another very much...
748
00:55:34,696 --> 00:55:37,358
he knows I want
only what is right for him.
749
00:55:37,432 --> 00:55:41,368
And he can accept authority from me
just the same as you can from your father.
750
00:55:41,436 --> 00:55:45,202
I do not think I would like country
in which this was so.
751
00:55:45,273 --> 00:55:50,472
But since it is so with us,
I see no great need to fight.
752
00:55:50,545 --> 00:55:53,446
It would be much nicer
if you could be friends.
753
00:55:54,549 --> 00:55:57,143
Well, he was not coward.
754
00:55:57,219 --> 00:55:59,312
He would've tried sticks.
755
00:56:01,823 --> 00:56:03,814
Well, all right, then.
756
00:56:03,892 --> 00:56:07,225
That's better. We'll see you
in school tomorrow.

- His messengers are here.

- What can he want at such a time?
- I don't know.

767

Your Majesty.
768
00:57:22,871 --> 00:57:27,103
Mem, I think your Moses
shall have been a fool.
769
00:57:27,175 --> 00:57:29,166
Moses?
770
00:57:29,244 --> 00:57:33,806
Moses, Moses, Moses.
I think he shall have been a fool.
771
00:57:33,882 --> 00:57:37,283
Here it stands, written by him:
772
00:57:37,352 --> 00:57:40,515
'The world was created in six days. '
773
00:57:40,588 --> 00:57:45,855
Now, you know, I know it took
many centuries to create world.
774
00:57:45,927 --> 00:57:48,828
I think he shall have been a fool
to have written so.
775
00:57:48,897 --> 00:57:50,922
What is your opinion?
776
00:57:50,999 --> 00:57:53,092
Do you mean to say
that you sent for me...
777
00:57:53,167 --> 00:57:55,260
at this hour of night
just to ask me that?
778
00:57:55,336 --> 00:57:57,634
Yes. What is your opinion?
779
00:57:57,705 --> 00:57:59,866
Couldn't you have waited
till morning?
780
00:57:59,941 --> 00:58:03,536
Mem, you say you wish
to help with study, et cetera.
781
00:58:03,611 --> 00:58:05,738
Do you wish help or do not?
782
00:58:08,049 --> 00:58:12,952
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
I do want to help if I can.
783
00:58:13,021 --> 00:58:17,720
Then what is your opinion
of this thing as stated by Moses?
784
00:58:17,792 --> 00:58:20,852
Mem, it is necessary
for me to read all European books...
785
00:58:20,929 --> 00:58:23,295
to try to understand
knowledge of modern world...
786
00:58:23,364 --> 00:58:25,559
and there have been
very many things written.
787
00:58:25,633 --> 00:58:28,466
There have been mountains
of things written...
788
00:58:28,536 --> 00:58:31,835
and knowledge is buried
underneath this mountain.
789
00:58:31,906 --> 00:58:35,808
I ask you to consider this is
very much reading for one lifetime.
790
00:58:35,877 --> 00:58:37,868
And how shall I do this understanding...
791
00:58:37,946 --> 00:58:40,039
when different English books
say different things?
792
00:58:40,114 --> 00:58:42,981
Your Majesty...
793
00:58:43,051 --> 00:58:45,576
the Bible was not written
by men of science.
794
00:58:45,653 --> 00:58:47,917
It was written by men of faith.
795
00:58:47,989 --> 00:58:51,049
It was their explanation
of the miracle of creation...
796
00:58:51,125 --> 00:58:53,150
which is just as great a miracle...
797
00:58:53,227 --> 00:58:55,718
whether it took
six days or many centuries.
798
00:58:55,797 --> 00:58:58,994
I think science
does not contradict the Bible.
799
00:58:59,067 --> 00:59:02,127
It has only made us more aware
of how great the miracle was.
800
00:59:09,077 --> 00:59:12,569
Well, I still think your Moses
shall have been a fool. You may go.
801
00:59:24,659 --> 00:59:27,890
Moses. The idea.

Lady Tuptim's slave?
807
01:00:10,738 --> 01:00:14,299
I am not sorry about the monkey,
if that is why you make me stay.
808
01:00:14,375 --> 01:00:16,900
It isn't the monkey, Lady Tuptim.
809
01:00:16,978 --> 01:00:19,742
I want to ask your help for someone.
810
01:00:19,814 --> 01:00:25,480
- It's your slave woman L'Ore. I've talked with her.
- By what right?
811
01:00:25,553 --> 01:00:29,011
I can't believe you would deliberately
keep her in chains so long...
812
01:00:29,090 --> 01:00:32,457
- and with a child too.
- She tried to run away.
813
01:00:32,527 --> 01:00:36,827
She was only trying to go to her husband.
He wants to buy her freedom.
814
01:00:36,898 --> 01:00:42,029
Isn't there a law in Siam that says a slave
must be freed if the money is offered?
815
01:00:42,103 --> 01:00:44,697
What right has she to be happy
with someone she love...
816
01:00:44,772 --> 01:00:46,865
while I am shut up here?
817
01:00:46,941 --> 01:00:51,173
Let her stay where she is.
You can have your law.
818
01:00:51,245 --> 01:00:56,342
I have the king.
Go and find this out for yourself.
819
01:01:03,925 --> 01:01:06,359
- Mem cha.
- Oh, yes, Your Royal Highness.
820
01:01:06,427 --> 01:01:09,988
What is it about this law?
Does it mean slaves of king too?
821
01:01:10,064 --> 01:01:12,658
Of course.
A law is the same for everyone.
822
01:01:12,733 --> 01:01:15,167
But I do not understand about law...
823
01:01:15,236 --> 01:01:17,227
that makes it
more important than king.
824
01:01:17,305 --> 01:01:21,469
- Tell me.
- I'm sorry. We'll talk about it some other time.
825
01:01:21,542 --> 01:01:25,069
- Now I must go and see your father.
- Yes, mem cha.
826
01:01:26,981 --> 01:01:29,074
- Mem?
- Oh, yes, Lady Thiang.
827
01:01:29,150 --> 01:01:33,211
Is it not all right for him
to ask you things...
828
01:01:33,287 --> 01:01:35,312
things outside of the books?
829
01:01:35,389 --> 01:01:38,756
Of course. But some other day
when we have more time.
830
01:01:38,826 --> 01:01:42,159
I'm sorry,
but I must go to the king now.
831
01:01:42,230 --> 01:01:45,722
He's really doing very well
with his studies.
832
01:01:58,746 --> 01:02:00,737
Your Majesty,
I've come to you because I felt...
833
01:02:00,815 --> 01:02:03,010
I must bring something
to your attention.
834
01:02:03,084 --> 01:02:06,576
- It concerns...
- Why must you stir up tempest
over Lady Tuptim's slave?
835
01:02:06,654 --> 01:02:08,781
I have much unpleasantness
because of this.
836
01:02:08,856 --> 01:02:10,915
Then Lady Tuptim
has already told you about it.
837
01:02:12,793 --> 01:02:14,784
I do not have time to waste
discussing matters of such nature.
838
01:02:14,862 --> 01:02:18,093
In future, do not trouble me with same.
They do not interest me. You may go.
839
01:02:18,166 --> 01:02:21,135
But surely, Your Majesty,
you want to hear all the truth.
840
01:02:21,202 --> 01:02:23,227
You've only heard
Lady Tuptim's story.
841
01:02:23,304 --> 01:02:27,297
- Perhaps this slave isn't important.
- Why you stand over my head?
842
01:02:27,375 --> 01:02:29,969
I don't understand.
843
01:02:30,044 --> 01:02:32,308
Last night, when I invited you
to consider Moses...
844
01:02:32,380 --> 01:02:34,405
you stood up over me.
845
01:02:34,482 --> 01:02:36,473
You do so now.
I cannot stand up all the time.
846
01:02:36,551 --> 01:02:38,781
In this country, no one's head
shall be higher than the king's.
847
01:02:38,853 --> 01:02:42,983
It is sign of great disrespect. In future,
you shall conduct like all other subjects.
848
01:02:43,057 --> 01:02:46,891
- You mean on the floor?
- All subjects do so.
849
01:02:48,296 --> 01:02:50,560
I'm sorry. I shall try my best...
850
01:02:50,631 --> 01:02:53,065
never to allow my head
to be as high as Your Majesty's...
851
01:02:53,134 --> 01:02:55,659
but I simply cannot
grovel on the floor.
852
01:02:55,736 --> 01:02:58,398
You are very stubborn, mem.
853
01:02:58,472 --> 01:03:00,633
I do not understand
why you must be so.
854
01:03:00,708 --> 01:03:03,609
Your Majesty,
I couldn't possibly work that way.
855
01:03:03,678 --> 01:03:06,078
Surely when we're alone,
it isn't necessary...
856
01:03:06,147 --> 01:03:10,140
No one shall say I am not a reasonable man.
I grant you such favor.
857
01:03:10,218 --> 01:03:12,083
Thank you, Your Majesty.
858
01:03:12,153 --> 01:03:15,350
But you shall observe care that head
shall not be higher than mine.
859
01:03:15,423 --> 01:03:18,517
If I shall sit, you shall sit...
860
01:03:18,593 --> 01:03:20,652
uh, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera.
861
01:03:20,728 --> 01:03:23,561
- I'll try, Your Majesty.
- Very well. You may go.
862
01:03:27,735 --> 01:03:30,499
Not until I've said
what I came to say.
863
01:03:32,607 --> 01:03:36,043
I think this slave has a right
to expect justice from you.
864
01:03:36,110 --> 01:03:39,102
And I think it's wrong
when the king of Siam...
865
01:03:39,180 --> 01:03:43,207
upholds his wife when she chooses
to disobey the law.
866
01:03:43,284 --> 01:03:47,345
I am the law here, as people
can discover if not discreet.
867
01:03:47,421 --> 01:03:49,685
I'm sorry to hear you say that,
Your Majesty...
868
01:03:49,757 --> 01:03:53,716
because it goes against everything
I thought you wanted for your country.
869
01:03:53,794 --> 01:03:56,558
How shall you know
what I want for my country?
870
01:03:56,631 --> 01:03:58,690
I know you want it to progress...
871
01:03:58,766 --> 01:04:01,394
to take its place among
the other nations of the world.
872
01:04:01,469 --> 01:04:03,994
You made this law yourself...
873
01:04:04,071 --> 01:04:08,064
but if you put your own will
above the laws you make, you'll fail.
874
01:04:08,142 --> 01:04:10,838
Other countries
won't trust a nation...
875
01:04:10,911 --> 01:04:13,573
where a man can put himself
above the law.
876
01:04:13,648 --> 01:04:15,980
Everything might change
with your successor.
877
01:04:16,050 --> 01:04:18,041
Siam's word,
her treaties with them...
878
01:04:18,119 --> 01:04:20,314
would be good
only as long as you live.
879
01:04:20,388 --> 01:04:25,223
I do not like this talk
about successor.
880
01:04:25,293 --> 01:04:28,319
Why must you make entire household
in uproar over one slave?
881
01:04:28,396 --> 01:04:33,356
I ask you to remember,
there are 3,000 women in household.
882
01:04:33,434 --> 01:04:36,096
3,000 women
can be very much uproar.
883
01:04:36,170 --> 01:04:40,664
And how shall I do work which is
necessary when there is so much uproar?
884
01:04:40,741 --> 01:04:44,074
But this is more important,
Your Majesty.
885
01:04:44,145 --> 01:04:47,706
The progress you want isn't
a matter of customs or manners.
886
01:04:47,782 --> 01:04:50,273
It's the spirit behind those things.
887
01:04:50,351 --> 01:04:54,549
It's... It's recognizing that every
living person is an individual...
888
01:04:54,622 --> 01:04:57,682
with the same right to liberty
andjustice under the law...
889
01:04:57,758 --> 01:05:00,727
so that he can make as much
as he's willing to make ofhis life.
890
01:05:00,795 --> 01:05:03,025
Your law began to give
your people that right...
891
01:05:03,097 --> 01:05:05,088
but a law must be the same
for everyone...
892
01:05:05,166 --> 01:05:07,191
for slave just as much as for king.
893
01:05:10,471 --> 01:05:13,065
Consider Her Gracious
Majesty Victoria...
894
01:05:13,140 --> 01:05:15,540
queen of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland...
895
01:05:15,609 --> 01:05:18,305
and powerful sovereign of British colonies
around globe of human world...
896
01:05:18,379 --> 01:05:20,472
and our most affectionate sister.
897
01:05:20,548 --> 01:05:22,812
- Is she not above the law?
- No, Your Majesty.
898
01:05:22,883 --> 01:05:27,217
My country may have many faults,
but her laws are the same for all.
899
01:05:27,288 --> 01:05:29,756
And in the United States,
their president Mr. Lincoln...
900
01:05:29,824 --> 01:05:32,122
is fighting a war
for the same principle.
901
01:05:32,193 --> 01:05:35,253
Ah. This sounds like progress
in America pretty bloody.
902
01:05:35,329 --> 01:05:38,958
Sometimes you have to fight
for what you believe in.
903
01:05:39,033 --> 01:05:41,763
Who shall this Mr. Lincoln be?
904
01:05:41,836 --> 01:05:43,895
Is he king of this United States?
905
01:05:43,971 --> 01:05:47,338
- He is their president.
- What is this "president"? I do not understand.
906
01:05:47,408 --> 01:05:49,342
It means he was elected.
907
01:05:49,410 --> 01:05:52,277
That means he was chosen by the people
by a vote to lead them.
908
01:05:52,346 --> 01:05:57,010
I do not think I like this.
Shall he be winning this war?
909
01:05:57,084 --> 01:05:58,949
No one knows, Your Majesty.
910
01:05:59,019 --> 01:06:01,681
And how shall he be trained to rule
if he is not born to do so?
911
01:06:01,756 --> 01:06:03,690
But he doesn't rule them.
912
01:06:03,758 --> 01:06:07,194
He only sees that the laws
they make themselves are carried out.
913
01:06:07,261 --> 01:06:10,424
And I believe he studied very hard.
He educated himself.
914
01:06:10,498 --> 01:06:13,626
This very difficult thing.
I know of sad experience.
915
01:06:13,701 --> 01:06:16,693
I teach myself English
and other language.
916
01:06:16,771 --> 01:06:19,934
In this respect,
Mr. Lincoln and I much alike.
917
01:06:20,007 --> 01:06:21,998
He said something
about progress once...
918
01:06:22,076 --> 01:06:24,874
when he was speaking
at a school.
919
01:06:24,945 --> 01:06:27,846
He said he was afraid
we were inclined...
920
01:06:27,915 --> 01:06:31,009
to accept as wisdom
what is only knowledge...
921
01:06:31,085 --> 01:06:35,852
and to accept as progress things
that are nothing more than change.
922
01:06:35,923 --> 01:06:38,949
He said true progress...
923
01:06:39,026 --> 01:06:41,654
must bear some relation
to man's character.
924
01:06:41,729 --> 01:06:44,789
It must have its roots in his heart.
925
01:06:48,803 --> 01:06:51,169
I think I like this Mr. Lincoln.
926
01:06:54,542 --> 01:06:56,567
Why is he not winning
this war of his?
927
01:06:56,644 --> 01:06:59,374
Has he not got enough guns and elephants
for transporting same?
928
01:06:59,447 --> 01:07:01,972
There are no elephants in America.
929
01:07:02,049 --> 01:07:04,984
- No elephants?
- No, Your Majesty.
930
01:07:05,052 --> 01:07:08,488
Ah. No wonder Mr. Lincoln
does not win war.
931
01:07:08,556 --> 01:07:11,753
- We will write letter to Mr. Lincoln.
- Now, Your Majesty?
932
01:07:11,826 --> 01:07:14,021
Now... when you think?
Now always best time.
933
01:07:14,094 --> 01:07:16,528
But I wanted to talk to you
about the slave woman...
934
01:07:16,664 --> 01:07:20,964

- Yes, Your Majesty.

it has occurred to us...
945
01:08:05,379 --> 01:08:09,372
that should there be several pairs
of young male elephants...
946
01:08:09,450 --> 01:08:12,817
turned loose in forests of America...
947
01:08:12,887 --> 01:08:18,416
we are of opinion that after a while
they will increase in numbers...

- and inhabitants of...
- Your Majesty.
949
01:08:21,328 --> 01:08:24,729
- Well?
- I don't think you mean
pairs of male elephants.

Do not interrupt.
951
01:08:26,867 --> 01:08:29,563
And inhabitants of America
will be able to catch them...
952
01:08:29,637 --> 01:08:32,333
and tame them
and use them as beasts of...

Only male elephants?

Hmm. Hmm.

you'd talk about the slave woman.

something very beautiful.

- It's a beautiful gift.
- It is worth thousand times price of slave.

It was very generous of you,

Perhaps it means much more

I'll have to find time to talk to him.
1012
01:12:31,245 --> 01:12:33,338
Mem. Uh, mem.
1013
01:12:33,414 --> 01:12:36,679
His Majesty wish
that you come to him at once.
1014
01:12:36,751 --> 01:12:38,844
But we're just beginning luncheon.
1015
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,720
His Majesty say
you shall come right now.
1016
01:12:42,790 --> 01:12:44,883
Oh, dear.
1017
01:13:06,748 --> 01:13:11,276
Mem, shall it be proper for English
dignitary to see some of our women?
1018
01:13:11,352 --> 01:13:14,185
Well, if Your Majesty were in England,
you'd wish to see...
1019
01:13:14,255 --> 01:13:17,122
some of the prettiest women there,
wouldn't you?
1020
01:13:17,191 --> 01:13:20,024
But how shall I let him
see them like this?
1021
01:13:20,094 --> 01:13:22,028
No shoes on feet.
1022
01:13:22,096 --> 01:13:25,361
He will go back
and tell Queen Victoria I am barbarian.
1023
01:13:25,433 --> 01:13:28,129
- Why you not think of that?
- Who will tell her, Your Majesty?
1024
01:13:28,202 --> 01:13:30,329
Sir Edward Ramsay.
1025
01:13:33,207 --> 01:13:36,904
So you, mem, shall choose
most beautiful women of harem...
1026
01:13:36,978 --> 01:13:40,038
and dress and educate same
in European custom for presentation.
1027
01:13:40,114 --> 01:13:42,412
When do you wish
to have them ready?
1028
01:13:42,483 --> 01:13:44,713
5:00 post meridian, this Saturday.
1029
01:13:44,786 --> 01:13:50,418
But that's only four days. I can't
possibly have them ready in four days.
1030
01:13:50,491 --> 01:13:52,925
Mem, shall it be possible
you are becoming lazy?
1031
01:13:52,994 --> 01:13:55,326
I'm not lazy at all. I simply can't...
1032
01:13:55,396 --> 01:13:59,059
Perhaps if mem understood
very great importance of occasion.
1033
01:13:59,133 --> 01:14:01,533
Then why have you not told her this?
1034
01:14:03,871 --> 01:14:06,635
Mem...
1035
01:14:11,012 --> 01:14:13,173
do you think I am barbarian?
1036
01:14:14,382 --> 01:14:17,510
Oh, of course not, Your Majesty.
1037
01:14:17,585 --> 01:14:21,146
I hope Sir Edward
shall agree with you.
1038
01:14:21,222 --> 01:14:23,782
The situation for Siam
very murky and critical.
1039
01:14:23,858 --> 01:14:25,951
Oh? What's happened?
1040
01:14:26,027 --> 01:14:29,519
My agents in Singapore
have obtained copies of letters...
1041
01:14:29,597 --> 01:14:31,963
written to British government
from certain persons...
1042
01:14:32,033 --> 01:14:35,935
wishing to acquire interests
in Siam or parts thereof.
1043
01:14:36,003 --> 01:14:38,437
Such letters describing me
as barbarian...
1044
01:14:38,506 --> 01:14:41,634
and not suitable as ruler of Siam...
1045
01:14:41,709 --> 01:14:45,645
wherefore they suggest necessity
of establishing protectorate, maybe.
1046
01:14:45,713 --> 01:14:47,647
That's outrageous.
1047
01:14:47,715 --> 01:14:50,513
I have met situation by requesting...
1048
01:14:50,585 --> 01:14:53,645
official visit
of British representative...
1049
01:14:53,721 --> 01:14:56,884
who shall see for himself
whether or not I am barbarian...
1050
01:14:56,958 --> 01:14:59,722
make report of same
to your gracious queen.
1051
01:15:01,395 --> 01:15:05,297
So, now you see necessity
of making dresses for them.
1052
01:15:07,602 --> 01:15:12,562
Y-Your Majesty, wouldn't it make
a better impression upon Sir Edward...
1053
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:16,337
if the ladies receive
in their own manner and dress?
1054
01:15:16,410 --> 01:15:18,469
Mem, you are not scientific.
1055
01:15:18,546 --> 01:15:20,480
He knows we are Siamese.
1056
01:15:20,548 --> 01:15:23,574
I wish him to see
we are also European.
1057
01:15:23,651 --> 01:15:26,745
So you shall tell me
which of these girls...
1058
01:15:26,821 --> 01:15:29,688
are most like European women
for dressing as same.
1059
01:15:29,757 --> 01:15:32,385
Very well, then.
1060
01:15:32,460 --> 01:15:34,655
Let me see.
1061
01:15:44,405 --> 01:15:47,067
Son Klin, stand still.
How can I fasten this?
1062
01:15:47,141 --> 01:15:49,405
Mem, what kind of men
are Englishmen?
1063
01:15:49,477 --> 01:15:51,843
I have heard they have the evil eye...
1064
01:15:51,913 --> 01:15:55,007
terrible blue eyes, mem,
that look into the soul!
1065
01:15:55,082 --> 01:15:58,108
Nonsense.
Who ever heard of such a thing?
1066
01:16:00,188 --> 01:16:02,247
Oh, dear!
1067
01:16:02,323 --> 01:16:04,348
- What shall be trouble now?
- I forgot.
1068
01:16:04,425 --> 01:16:07,155
They've practically
nothing to wear underneath.
1069
01:16:09,764 --> 01:16:13,723
- Shall you be wearing something underneath?
- Certainly, Your Majesty.
1070
01:16:13,801 --> 01:16:16,531
[Siamese]
1071
01:16:20,007 --> 01:16:22,134
I am not aware of difference.
1072
01:16:22,210 --> 01:16:25,304
But there is a great difference, Your Majesty,
whether you're aware of it or not.
1073
01:16:25,379 --> 01:16:28,314
All properly dressed European ladies
must have undergarments.
1074
01:16:28,382 --> 01:16:31,442
If I am not aware of difference,
how shall Sir Edward be?
1075
01:16:31,519 --> 01:16:35,080
- But he might notice.
- He should not.
1076
01:16:35,156 --> 01:16:39,718
Mem, what is your opinion?
Shall they be all right?
1077
01:16:39,794 --> 01:16:42,228
I think they're going to look charming.
1078
01:16:43,864 --> 01:16:47,391
Your Majesty,
do you mind if I make a suggestion?
1079
01:16:47,468 --> 01:16:49,402
What shall this be?
1080
01:16:49,470 --> 01:16:51,961
I think it's wrong that
the only reports about Siam...
1081
01:16:52,039 --> 01:16:54,974
are taken back by sea captains
and adventurers.
1082
01:16:55,042 --> 01:16:57,101
And I think that if you ask him...
1083
01:16:57,178 --> 01:17:00,011
Sir Edward would help you get official
representatives from England...
1084
01:17:00,081 --> 01:17:02,106
to be here permanently.
1085
01:17:02,183 --> 01:17:05,778
A consulate, I mean. And such men
would tell the truth in their reports.
1086
01:17:05,853 --> 01:17:09,687
As long as you're having Sir Edward here,
why not have other people at the same time?
1087
01:17:09,757 --> 01:17:13,750
The Dutch and the French, all the Europeans
you can reach with invitations...
1088
01:17:13,828 --> 01:17:17,093
and ask their help in accomplishing
the same thing with their countries.
1089
01:17:17,164 --> 01:17:19,291
- All at same time?
- Why not?
1090
01:17:19,367 --> 01:17:23,167
You want all the other governments
to know what you're trying to do here.
1091
01:17:23,237 --> 01:17:28,072
Too many people. I think you shall proceed
with the outer garments, mem.
1092
01:17:37,385 --> 01:17:39,376
[Knocking]
1093
01:17:39,453 --> 01:17:43,549
Oh, dear.
I don't think I can stand it.
1094
01:17:46,027 --> 01:17:48,222
You shall write invitation
for dinner for Saturday...
1095
01:17:48,296 --> 01:17:50,196
6:00 post meridian...
1096
01:17:50,264 --> 01:17:52,858
from list of European people
furnished hereto...
1097
01:17:52,933 --> 01:17:56,562
and any other desirable you may think of,
submitting names to me personally.
1098
01:17:56,637 --> 01:17:59,333
- But I thought you said...
- We are aware, gratefully...
1099
01:17:59,407 --> 01:18:01,500
that such idea
was suggested by you...
1100
01:18:01,575 --> 01:18:05,807
but it's idea of doing so with dinner
which is important.
1101
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,815
All slaves shall be given you
as you shall need for cooking and serving...
1102
01:18:08,883 --> 01:18:10,874
and you shall train same.
1103
01:18:10,951 --> 01:18:12,976
Furthermore,
you shall set table yourself...
1104
01:18:13,054 --> 01:18:15,045
so that everything shall be done
in best European custom.
1105
01:18:15,122 --> 01:18:17,249
I'll do everything I can,
Your Majesty, but...
1106
01:18:17,325 --> 01:18:20,590
I shall prove to all
that I am not barbarian.
1107
01:18:20,661 --> 01:18:22,822
You may go.
1108
01:18:35,409 --> 01:18:37,502
Shall this be correct
for table service?
1109
01:18:37,578 --> 01:18:41,105
Perfect, Your Majesty.
The loveliest I've ever seen.
1110
01:18:41,182 --> 01:18:44,515
Oh! Oh, how magnificent!
1111
01:18:46,187 --> 01:18:49,281
- Suitable for European, maybe?
- Oh, yes!
1112
01:18:49,357 --> 01:18:51,416
[Siamese]
1113
01:18:51,492 --> 01:18:55,189
- But where are the knives and forks?
- Mem? Pure gold, mem.
1114
01:18:55,262 --> 01:18:57,958
We couldn't possibly use
chopsticks with soup...
1115
01:18:58,032 --> 01:19:00,398
and other things I've arranged for.
1116
01:19:00,468 --> 01:19:03,528
- Mem, have you such things?
- Yes, but not nearly...
1117
01:19:03,604 --> 01:19:07,563
Get knives, forks, spoons, two kinds
from Mem Owens, and have them copied.
1118
01:19:07,641 --> 01:19:09,632
- And in gold.
- But there isn't time, Your Majesty.
1119
01:19:09,710 --> 01:19:12,372
They shall work without sleeping
until this is ready.
1120
01:19:12,446 --> 01:19:15,711
And If it is not done, each man
shall be beaten 100 strokes.
1121
01:19:15,783 --> 01:19:18,445
Tell them this.
1122
01:19:18,519 --> 01:19:20,612
They shall be ready.
1123
01:19:31,132 --> 01:19:34,329
- Mem?
- Yes, Your Majesty?
1124
01:19:34,402 --> 01:19:39,499
Shall it be necessary for me to use...
knife and fork also?
1125
01:19:39,573 --> 01:19:42,406
It would be desirable,
I think, Your Majesty.
1126
01:19:45,646 --> 01:19:48,240
Would you like me
to show you how?
1127
01:19:50,017 --> 01:19:52,008
That shall not be necessary!
1128
01:19:52,086 --> 01:19:54,987
I have ability for proper use
without lesson.
1129
01:20:09,036 --> 01:20:11,027
Now, ladies, take your seats, please.
1130
01:20:11,105 --> 01:20:13,198
And, remember, all you have to do
is sit in your chair...
1131
01:20:13,274 --> 01:20:17,142
until His Majesty makes the presentation,
then rise and bow.
1132
01:20:17,211 --> 01:20:19,645
- Now, do you understand?
- [All] Oh, yes, mem.
1133
01:20:19,713 --> 01:20:21,704
I only hope you do
when the time comes.
1134
01:20:21,782 --> 01:20:23,875
Now just sit quietly
until the presentation...
1135
01:20:23,951 --> 01:20:26,943
and for goodness sake,
be careful with your dresses.
1136
01:21:01,989 --> 01:21:05,720
Your Majesty, may I present
Mrs. Cortwright and Mr. Cortwright.
1137
01:21:05,793 --> 01:21:09,752
Mr. Cortwright is the editor
of the newspaper in Singapore.
1138
01:21:09,830 --> 01:21:14,199
Ah. This is newspaper
that prints I am spare man.
1139
01:21:14,268 --> 01:21:17,465
I should like to talk with you,
Mr. Cortwright.
1140
01:21:19,507 --> 01:21:23,671
Rose water.
Hospitable custom of country.
1141
01:21:29,350 --> 01:21:33,343
Wherefore have you decorated yourself
better than all the rest?
1142
01:21:33,420 --> 01:21:36,446
- Shall it be for my observation?
- Your Majesty.
1143
01:21:36,524 --> 01:21:40,927
You are fine. Very fine, indeed.
1144
01:21:40,995 --> 01:21:43,555
Your Majesty, may I present
Miss Elizabeth MacFarlane...
1145
01:21:43,631 --> 01:21:45,622
who's just come out from England.
1146
01:21:48,335 --> 01:21:53,568
Miss MacFarlane's brother
is the lieutenant governor in Singapore.
1147
01:21:53,641 --> 01:21:55,632
Are you an anecdote,
Miss MacFarlane?
1148
01:21:55,709 --> 01:21:57,802
I beg your pardon?
1149
01:21:57,878 --> 01:22:00,312
You are unmarried woman.
1150
01:22:00,381 --> 01:22:03,908
An anecdote and an unmarried woman
are not the same in English.
1151
01:22:03,984 --> 01:22:06,282
They are the same.
1152
01:22:06,353 --> 01:22:10,221
An anecdote is a hereto untold event
of curious interest.
1153
01:22:10,291 --> 01:22:13,385
And an unmarried woman's life
is also an untold event...
1154
01:22:13,460 --> 01:22:15,621
and therefore of curious interest.
1155
01:22:15,696 --> 01:22:18,961
- I say they are the same.
- But...
1156
01:22:19,033 --> 01:22:22,230
Well, this will make an interesting
anecdote for you, Miss MacFarlane.
1157
01:22:22,303 --> 01:22:24,237
Makes no difference...
1158
01:22:24,305 --> 01:22:27,536
I'm sure Miss MacFarlane would like
some rose water, Your Majesty.
1159
01:22:32,513 --> 01:22:35,311
She is very ugly.
1160
01:22:41,655 --> 01:22:44,351
Herewith shall be list of subjects
for you to bring up for talk.
1161
01:22:44,425 --> 01:22:46,450
Because on such subjects,
I am very brilliant...
1162
01:22:46,527 --> 01:22:48,654
and will make fine impression.
1163
01:23:23,264 --> 01:23:25,289
- Mem?
- Yes, Alak?
1164
01:23:25,366 --> 01:23:27,698
The napkins, they did not come.
1165
01:23:27,769 --> 01:23:30,829
- I think he will be very angry.
- It's too late now.
1166
01:23:30,905 --> 01:23:33,396
We can only pray he won't notice.
1167
01:24:00,001 --> 01:24:02,868
His Majesty made a very interesting point
the other day about Moses...
1168
01:24:02,937 --> 01:24:05,098
when he was reading the Bible.
1169
01:24:05,173 --> 01:24:07,505
Ah. Moses.
1170
01:24:07,575 --> 01:24:09,907
A very remarkable man.
1171
01:24:09,978 --> 01:24:13,277
If you remember,
he wrote in the Bible...
1172
01:24:15,316 --> 01:24:18,217
But unfortunately,
the presentjurisdiction...
1173
01:24:18,286 --> 01:24:20,686
of my good friend
Mr. Lincoln's country...
1174
01:24:20,755 --> 01:24:22,780
did not favor the multiplication
of the elephant...
1175
01:24:22,857 --> 01:24:27,191
and we considered the idea
was not practical.
1176
01:24:27,262 --> 01:24:30,129
I was not aware that Your Majesty
was so familiar...
1177
01:24:30,198 --> 01:24:32,291
with Mr. Lincoln's situation
with the war in America.
1178
01:24:32,367 --> 01:24:34,392
Ah! This is point.
1179
01:24:34,469 --> 01:24:36,903
This is exactly impression
I hope you will correct.
1180
01:24:36,971 --> 01:24:40,202
Court of Siam,
through much study thereof...
1181
01:24:40,275 --> 01:24:44,769
is familiar with happenings
on entire globe of modern world.
1182
01:24:46,147 --> 01:24:48,809
And now, ladies, gentlemen...
1183
01:24:48,883 --> 01:24:52,216
I commend to you theatricals
for your pleasure...
1184
01:24:52,287 --> 01:24:56,314
and they shall be of history
of kingdom of Siam...
1185
01:24:56,391 --> 01:24:59,121
a very old and very proud history.
1186
01:25:04,566 --> 01:25:07,296
[Siamese]
1187
01:25:21,883 --> 01:25:25,011
[Continues]
1188
01:26:01,889 --> 01:26:04,016
Not now, Your Majesty.
They've finished.
1189
01:26:04,092 --> 01:26:07,960
- May I permit them to say
I am barbarian without napkin?
- But...
1190
01:26:33,221 --> 01:26:36,588
- [Knocking]
- Oh!
1191
01:26:36,658 --> 01:26:39,286
Gracious heavens, no!
1192
01:26:53,007 --> 01:26:56,499
Wherefore do you not sit down
when I am in same position?
1193
01:27:00,148 --> 01:27:03,413
[Sighs]
I've experienced very fatiguing day.
1194
01:27:03,484 --> 01:27:06,681
So have I, Your Majesty,
and it's very late.
1195
01:27:06,754 --> 01:27:08,779
Very anxious day for me also.
1196
01:27:08,856 --> 01:27:10,915
I had great fears for success.
1197
01:27:13,428 --> 01:27:16,022
Are you aware of why
I am so hungry?
1198
01:27:16,097 --> 01:27:19,760
I was sick. Very sick.
1199
01:27:19,834 --> 01:27:23,930
However, I shall tell you that on account
of conversation with Sir Edward...
1200
01:27:24,005 --> 01:27:26,303
we are in accord
with British government...
1201
01:27:26,374 --> 01:27:30,105
regarding consulates and other matters
relating to security of this nation.
1202
01:27:30,178 --> 01:27:33,375
I am very happy thereof.
1203
01:27:35,116 --> 01:27:38,608
I am very happy too, Your Majesty.
Very.
1204
01:27:39,721 --> 01:27:42,485
L...
1205
01:27:42,557 --> 01:27:48,427
I hope you will accept
slight gift of appreciation.
1206
01:27:48,496 --> 01:27:50,555
For you.
1207
01:27:52,700 --> 01:27:55,635
Your Majesty, you're very kind.
1208
01:27:56,971 --> 01:27:58,962
I shall treasure it always.
1209
01:28:14,088 --> 01:28:17,717
- Shall you be hungry?
- Terribly.
1210
01:28:19,327 --> 01:28:21,488
Plenty for two.
1211
01:28:37,945 --> 01:28:41,176
Well, this is odd.
Where do you suppose everybody is?
1212
01:28:41,249 --> 01:28:45,413
- Perhaps they're just late.
- It's queer they should all be late.
1213
01:28:50,591 --> 01:28:53,685
Looks as though something
extraordinary is going on.
1214
01:28:53,761 --> 01:28:55,786
Perhaps there won't be
any school today.
1215
01:28:55,863 --> 01:28:58,889
- I'll try and find out what's happening.
- May I get my pony and ride?
1216
01:28:58,966 --> 01:29:02,458
If you like, but be sure
you take Moonshee with you.
1217
01:29:06,641 --> 01:29:10,168
- [Door Opens]
- Good day, sir.
1218
01:29:10,244 --> 01:29:13,736
Lady Thiang, something
very strange is going on.
1219
01:29:13,815 --> 01:29:16,875
I'd be grateful if you could tell me
what's happening.
1220
01:29:16,951 --> 01:29:21,752
Why are you concerned
with such matters instead of school?
1221
01:29:21,823 --> 01:29:25,987
Because whatever it is,
it affects my school and me.
1222
01:29:30,164 --> 01:29:34,567
- Why you come to me?
- Because I thought you would know.
1223
01:29:34,635 --> 01:29:37,832
- You do not say I told you.
- Of course not.
1224
01:29:37,905 --> 01:29:42,171
- Lady Tuptim has been found.
- Tuptim?
1225
01:29:42,243 --> 01:29:44,609
Didn't you know she had
run away from the palace?
1226
01:29:44,679 --> 01:29:47,773
No. She hasn't been to school
for some time.
1227
01:29:47,849 --> 01:29:51,410
But how could she possibly
get out of the palace?
1228
01:29:51,485 --> 01:29:54,420
She escaped in robes of novice
of the priesthood...
1229
01:29:54,488 --> 01:29:56,422
which someone gave to her.
1230
01:29:56,490 --> 01:29:59,721
- Where was she found?
- I do not know.
1231
01:29:59,794 --> 01:30:01,887
All I do know is...
1232
01:30:01,963 --> 01:30:05,455
when she was brought
back to the palace...
1233
01:30:05,533 --> 01:30:08,263
they brought a young priest with her.
1234
01:30:11,772 --> 01:30:15,799
- What will this mean, Lady Thiang?
- What it has always meant here.
1235
01:30:15,877 --> 01:30:17,902
When will she go on trial?
1236
01:30:17,979 --> 01:30:20,140
They question her now.
1237
01:30:20,214 --> 01:30:22,546
You mean her trial's already begun?
1238
01:30:22,617 --> 01:30:25,381
This is not the same thing.
1239
01:30:25,453 --> 01:30:29,651
- But she will have...
- I do not say any more.
1240
01:30:29,724 --> 01:30:32,488
And I think it will be best...
1241
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:36,758
if you return to teaching of pupils.
1242
01:30:36,831 --> 01:30:38,992
Thank you, Lady Thiang.
1243
01:30:43,638 --> 01:30:45,902
The other novices
who lived in cell with me...
1244
01:30:45,973 --> 01:30:48,635
never knew I was woman
until this morning.
1245
01:30:48,709 --> 01:30:50,734
They were with me all the time.
1246
01:30:50,811 --> 01:30:53,075
If they did not know I was woman...
1247
01:30:53,147 --> 01:30:55,479
how could he know?
1248
01:30:55,549 --> 01:30:57,813
They will tell you he did not know.
1249
01:30:57,885 --> 01:31:00,911
Why are they not here?
Why do you not ask them?
1250
01:31:00,988 --> 01:31:05,186
The truth is this man
got you a novice's robe...
1251
01:31:05,259 --> 01:31:07,523
in which you escaped
from the palace.
1252
01:31:12,767 --> 01:31:16,999
You went to his cell and stayed
with him there until you were found.
1253
01:31:17,071 --> 01:31:19,505
Will you confess to this...
1254
01:31:19,573 --> 01:31:22,269
or must we get it out ofhim?
1255
01:31:22,343 --> 01:31:25,710
No, wait!
1256
01:31:25,780 --> 01:31:27,805
You must believe the truth about him.
1257
01:31:27,882 --> 01:31:32,478
He had nothing to do with it.
He is completely innocent.
1258
01:31:35,623 --> 01:31:40,560
I went to the monastery because
I did not know where else to go.
1259
01:31:40,628 --> 01:31:44,155
But Phra Palat did not recognize me,
not then or ever...
1260
01:31:44,231 --> 01:31:47,826
not even though he had known me
since he was a boy.
1261
01:31:47,902 --> 01:31:51,895
I had been betrothed to him
by my family...
1262
01:31:51,973 --> 01:31:55,204
before I was sent to palace.
1263
01:31:55,276 --> 01:31:58,541
After I was sent to palace,
he entered the priesthood...
1264
01:31:58,612 --> 01:32:00,910
and put me
out of his mind completely.
1265
01:32:02,249 --> 01:32:04,547
Lfhe ever thought of me at all...
1266
01:32:04,618 --> 01:32:09,078
he thought of me as gone forever
beyond the wall of inside.
1267
01:32:10,825 --> 01:32:12,850
He taught us every day...
1268
01:32:12,927 --> 01:32:18,263
and I grew quiet and happy
because I was near him.
1269
01:32:18,332 --> 01:32:20,698
I no longer wanted
to be anything to him...
1270
01:32:20,768 --> 01:32:24,761
but only to be near him.
1271
01:32:25,940 --> 01:32:28,602
Only to be near him.
1272
01:32:28,676 --> 01:32:30,735
A very pretty story...
1273
01:32:30,811 --> 01:32:33,177
and you told it beautifully.
1274
01:32:33,247 --> 01:32:35,272
Only no one believes you, of course.
1275
01:32:35,349 --> 01:32:38,716
Now, let us get back
to the beginning.
1276
01:32:38,786 --> 01:32:41,414
- You went to this man because you love him.
- No!
1277
01:32:41,489 --> 01:32:43,354
You lived in his cell as a woman.
1278
01:32:43,424 --> 01:32:45,756
Ask the others.
They will tell you the truth.
1279
01:32:45,826 --> 01:32:49,262
[Man] You make him break
his holy vows. Confess.!
1280
01:32:49,330 --> 01:32:52,822
I will not. I will not!
1281
01:33:00,107 --> 01:33:03,770
Stop it! Stop it, you hear?
Stop it!
1282
01:33:03,844 --> 01:33:05,937
She's telling the truth,
and you know it.
1283
01:33:06,013 --> 01:33:08,982
Why don't you call the others novices?
You don't want the truth!
1284
01:33:09,050 --> 01:33:11,280
I shall go to the king
and have her taken out of your hands.
1285
01:33:11,352 --> 01:33:14,583
We will wait.
1286
01:33:14,655 --> 01:33:16,646
The mem has much to learn.
1287
01:33:40,848 --> 01:33:44,306
Your Majesty will forgive me.
It's a matter of great importance.
1288
01:33:45,686 --> 01:33:48,348
It's Lady Tuptim, Your Majesty.
1289
01:33:53,761 --> 01:33:57,492
Is there nothing dishonorable to me...
1290
01:33:57,565 --> 01:34:00,659
that is secret here?
1291
01:34:00,734 --> 01:34:04,101
Go. All of you, out!
1292
01:34:09,243 --> 01:34:13,703
It will be better
if you understand at once...
1293
01:34:13,781 --> 01:34:16,147
that this matter
does not concern you.
1294
01:34:16,217 --> 01:34:18,685
But it does. It does dreadfully...
1295
01:34:18,752 --> 01:34:22,779
because of her,
and even more because of you.
1296
01:34:22,857 --> 01:34:25,792
Your Majesty, I'm sure
if you'd known in the first place...
1297
01:34:25,860 --> 01:34:27,851
that she was in love
with someone else...
1298
01:34:27,928 --> 01:34:30,328
you never would've allowed her
to be brought here at all.
1299
01:34:30,397 --> 01:34:33,833
But now they're trying to make her
confess to something that isn't true...
1300
01:34:33,901 --> 01:34:38,201
- torturing her without regard
to proof or witnesses.
- You waste your time.
1301
01:34:38,272 --> 01:34:41,070
But surely you're going to see
that they call her witnesses.
1302
01:34:41,142 --> 01:34:44,669
This shall be my affair.
1303
01:34:44,745 --> 01:34:46,872
You must when she's called to trial.
1304
01:34:46,947 --> 01:34:50,542
I do not wish to talk more of this!
1305
01:34:50,618 --> 01:34:53,519
You can't refuse her a trial.
1306
01:34:53,587 --> 01:34:58,024
- There must be a law in this.
- I am the law!
1307
01:34:58,092 --> 01:35:03,223
That's what I was afraid of,
Your Majesty.
1308
01:35:03,297 --> 01:35:06,425
I beg you,
don't take revenge on this girl.
1309
01:35:06,500 --> 01:35:10,231
If you do, you'll have thrown away
everything you've done...
1310
01:35:10,304 --> 01:35:13,102
all you've built up
for your country and yourself...
1311
01:35:13,174 --> 01:35:15,506
with such labor against such odds.
1312
01:35:15,576 --> 01:35:19,205
And you'll never be able
to get it back again.
1313
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:22,272
How can you have faith yourself
in what you're doing...
1314
01:35:22,349 --> 01:35:26,183
or ask anyone else to believe in you
or the country you represent...
1315
01:35:26,253 --> 01:35:29,120
when you know yourself
you're only pretending?
1316
01:35:29,190 --> 01:35:33,957
That you don't give a snap of your fingers
for your people or human progress.
1317
01:35:34,028 --> 01:35:36,053
That it's a lie...
1318
01:35:36,130 --> 01:35:40,032
something to cover up caprice
and passion and self-indulgence.
1319
01:35:40,100 --> 01:35:42,591
You go too far.
1320
01:35:42,670 --> 01:35:46,231
This girl hurt your vanity, that's all.
You don't love her.
1321
01:35:46,307 --> 01:35:50,641
She didn't hurt your heart.
You haven't a heart! You've never loved anyone!
1322
01:35:50,711 --> 01:35:52,804
You are a barbarian!
1323
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:56,316
You'll never change.
You'll be a barbarian as long as you live.
1324
01:36:11,332 --> 01:36:15,166
Mem, how shall you like...
1325
01:36:15,236 --> 01:36:17,534
if I make you watch what I shall do?
1326
01:37:26,540 --> 01:37:29,236
He has not sinned!
1327
01:37:29,309 --> 01:37:31,300
He did no wrong to anyone!
1328
01:37:34,948 --> 01:37:37,007
We have not sinned!
1329
01:37:37,084 --> 01:37:39,484
We have not sinned.!
1330
01:37:39,553 --> 01:37:42,886
[Screaming]
1331
01:37:52,632 --> 01:37:55,396
- Good-bye, mem cha.
- Good-bye, Prince Sawat.
1332
01:37:57,637 --> 01:38:00,970
- Bye, mem cha.
- Good-bye, Princess Phatana.
1333
01:38:03,944 --> 01:38:07,471
- Bye, mem cha.
- Bye, Princess Sumawa.
1334
01:38:09,015 --> 01:38:12,416
- Good-bye, mem cha.
- Good-bye, Princess Mowana.
1335
01:38:12,486 --> 01:38:15,284
Where's Prince Chulalongkorn?
1336
01:38:15,355 --> 01:38:17,585
He would not come.
1337
01:38:19,793 --> 01:38:22,728
- Mem cha.
- Princess.
1338
01:38:22,796 --> 01:38:26,527
I will always feel so unhappy...
1339
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:30,627
thinking of you being among
all those English people.
1340
01:38:32,539 --> 01:38:34,530
I shan't ever forget you, Princess.
1341
01:38:36,510 --> 01:38:39,104
Good-bye.
1342
01:38:44,818 --> 01:38:46,945
I guess that's all.
1343
01:38:47,020 --> 01:38:50,820
- You go on, Mother.
- What are you going to do, Louis?
1344
01:38:50,891 --> 01:38:54,327
I rather thought I'd like
to say good-bye to the prince.
1345
01:38:54,394 --> 01:38:57,625
Oh. It's odd he wasn't here today.
1346
01:38:57,697 --> 01:39:00,393
Well, he's funny.
1347
01:39:00,467 --> 01:39:02,765
All right, dear, but don't be too long.
1348
01:39:02,836 --> 01:39:04,895
Oh.
1349
01:39:07,707 --> 01:39:11,143
- Good day, sir.
- Good day.
1350
01:39:11,211 --> 01:39:14,942
We are wishing to
say something to you, mem.
1351
01:39:15,015 --> 01:39:19,179
- Oh?
- Be seated, please.
1352
01:39:23,457 --> 01:39:25,220
Shall you be ready?
1353
01:39:31,932 --> 01:39:34,765
"Dear friend and teacher:
1354
01:39:34,835 --> 01:39:38,896
"My goodness gracious.
Do not go away.

01:39:43,677 --> 01:39:47,135
'We are like one blind.

01:39:47,214 --> 01:39:50,240
'Do not let us

01:39:50,317 --> 01:39:52,547
"but continue...
1359
01:39:52,619 --> 01:39:56,419
"good and sincere concern for us...
1360
01:39:56,490 --> 01:40:00,153
"and lead us in the right road.
1361
01:40:00,227 --> 01:40:02,320
Your loving pupils."
1362
01:40:04,397 --> 01:40:09,061
Thank you. Thank you.
1363
01:40:10,203 --> 01:40:12,535
You can't imagine...
1364
01:40:13,573 --> 01:40:16,371
You can't imag...
1365
01:40:45,605 --> 01:40:48,938
Lady Thiang.
I came here because l...
1366
01:40:51,478 --> 01:40:54,743
I've seen very little of you lately.
1367
01:40:54,814 --> 01:40:57,715
Somehow I have a feeling
you've been avoiding me.
1368
01:40:57,784 --> 01:41:00,651
I should hate to leave like that.
1369
01:41:01,988 --> 01:41:04,081
I have a sense of having failed here...
1370
01:41:04,157 --> 01:41:08,457
but I'd hoped that we had become
rather special friends.
1371
01:41:08,528 --> 01:41:12,726
If there's any reason why...
1372
01:41:12,799 --> 01:41:18,260
Does the mem want me
to say she has not failed...
1373
01:41:18,338 --> 01:41:20,738
or does she wish me to speak truth?
1374
01:41:20,807 --> 01:41:23,935
Well, the truth, of course.
1375
01:41:24,010 --> 01:41:26,740
This is maybe not good room...
1376
01:41:26,813 --> 01:41:28,804
for mem to speak about her failure.
1377
01:41:30,116 --> 01:41:35,110
Has she ever observed my wallpaper?
1378
01:41:35,188 --> 01:41:41,058
- It's very beautiful.
- But you have not really looked at it.
1379
01:41:41,127 --> 01:41:45,291
It tells a story for anyone
with the eyes to see.
1380
01:41:45,365 --> 01:41:47,799
I had it painted.
1381
01:41:49,736 --> 01:41:52,762
That straight young tree...
1382
01:41:52,839 --> 01:41:55,637
is like unto me when I am young...
1383
01:41:55,709 --> 01:41:59,167
and became first wife to my lord...
1384
01:41:59,245 --> 01:42:02,339
who is the great tree there.
1385
01:42:02,415 --> 01:42:04,440
I am happy...
1386
01:42:04,517 --> 01:42:07,918
and you can see that
there are flowers all around.
1387
01:42:09,255 --> 01:42:11,280
They are the happiness...
1388
01:42:11,358 --> 01:42:13,417
that grows in our shadow.
1389
01:42:15,328 --> 01:42:17,319
But here...
1390
01:42:17,397 --> 01:42:22,801
other trees grow up
between me and my lord.
1391
01:42:22,869 --> 01:42:25,633
That is custom...
1392
01:42:25,705 --> 01:42:29,436
for king to take many wives.
1393
01:42:29,509 --> 01:42:32,307
And here, my lord the king...
1394
01:42:32,379 --> 01:42:34,813
the great tree, grows very fast...
1395
01:42:34,881 --> 01:42:39,875
very high, trying to touch stars.
1396
01:42:39,953 --> 01:42:44,014
But the branches are bare...
1397
01:42:44,090 --> 01:42:46,285
not green with leaves...
1398
01:42:46,359 --> 01:42:49,954
to make kind shadow from the sun.
1399
01:42:50,030 --> 01:42:54,330
See, the flowers are almost gone...
1400
01:42:54,401 --> 01:42:57,393
and the small tree, which is me...
1401
01:42:57,470 --> 01:42:59,461
droops and withers.
1402
01:43:01,074 --> 01:43:03,099
I cannot help him.
1403
01:43:05,545 --> 01:43:10,039
And here I see that beside me...
1404
01:43:10,116 --> 01:43:13,051
very small tree is growing.
1405
01:43:13,119 --> 01:43:15,986
This is my son...
1406
01:43:16,056 --> 01:43:19,651
the prince who shall be king.
1407
01:43:19,726 --> 01:43:22,490
See that the ground is all bare now.
1408
01:43:22,562 --> 01:43:25,725
The sun is very cruel.
1409
01:43:25,799 --> 01:43:27,824
I try to shelter him...
1410
01:43:27,901 --> 01:43:31,564
but I am very small...
1411
01:43:31,638 --> 01:43:34,835
because I am only woman.
1412
01:43:34,908 --> 01:43:40,005
I try, but I do not know
if I can do this.
1413
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:42,105
But you haven't finished it.
1414
01:43:42,182 --> 01:43:47,745
No. I did not know
what the end shall be.
1415
01:43:47,821 --> 01:43:50,289
But I know now...
1416
01:43:50,356 --> 01:43:54,690
and I do not wish to paint it.
1417
01:43:54,761 --> 01:43:57,753
I cannot help him.
1418
01:43:57,831 --> 01:44:02,063
This tree will not be better...
1419
01:44:02,135 --> 01:44:05,298
than the other one.
1420
01:44:05,371 --> 01:44:09,535
And this shall be your fault...
1421
01:44:09,609 --> 01:44:11,770
Mem Owens.
1422
01:44:11,845 --> 01:44:14,643
You should have helped him.
1423
01:44:14,714 --> 01:44:16,944
That is what I hoped for.
1424
01:44:18,318 --> 01:44:22,778
He wished for such love
as your son has.
1425
01:44:24,057 --> 01:44:28,926
That is what he needed.
I watch him.
1426
01:44:28,995 --> 01:44:34,331
He could have grown gentle and kind...
1427
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:38,860
and in this is happiness,
not in lessons.
1428
01:44:40,573 --> 01:44:45,476
All this you could have given him...
1429
01:44:45,545 --> 01:44:48,776
but I could not.
1430
01:44:48,848 --> 01:44:53,649
He is the one you fail.
1431
01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:57,713
And I shall remember you
for this failure...
1432
01:44:59,492 --> 01:45:02,689
every time I look at my son...
1433
01:45:04,430 --> 01:45:07,922
as long as I shall live.
1434
01:45:29,856 --> 01:45:32,256
[Sobbing]
1435
01:45:48,408 --> 01:45:50,899
Memsahib.! Memsahib.!
1436
01:45:53,112 --> 01:45:56,946
[Moonshee] Only infidels would
send gifts at a time like this, memsahib.
1437
01:45:57,016 --> 01:46:01,316
They should be sold,
and this I will undertake for you.
1438
01:46:01,387 --> 01:46:03,719
We'll see, Moonshee.
1439
01:46:07,393 --> 01:46:10,089
- Good day, mem.
- Your Excellency.
1440
01:46:10,163 --> 01:46:12,654
You're better today, maybe?
1441
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:16,166
Much better.
1442
01:46:16,236 --> 01:46:18,932
Won't you sit down, Excellency?
1443
01:46:19,005 --> 01:46:21,030
Not today, mem.
1444
01:46:21,107 --> 01:46:23,507
I'm here officially today.
1445
01:46:23,576 --> 01:46:26,602
I have something
I'm ordered to read to you.
1446
01:46:29,282 --> 01:46:32,740
- Are you prepared for listening, mem?
- Yes.
1447
01:46:34,988 --> 01:46:37,684
"The unforeseen misfortune...
1448

01:47:37,483 --> 01:47:40,816
It took him a long time
to write it, mem.
1465
01:47:40,886 --> 01:47:44,253
He wrote it many times.
1466
01:47:44,323 --> 01:47:46,018
It was very kind.
1467
01:47:48,027 --> 01:47:53,522
Mem, please try and understand.
1468
01:47:53,599 --> 01:47:57,126
He's trying to say
in this letter that he is sorry...
1469
01:47:57,203 --> 01:48:01,367
not only about your son...
1470
01:48:01,440 --> 01:48:04,000
but about the woman.
1471
01:48:04,076 --> 01:48:07,068
That he was wrong.
1472
01:48:07,146 --> 01:48:09,376
That you spoke truth to him.
1473
01:48:09,448 --> 01:48:11,939
That nothing is any better for it.
1474
01:48:13,819 --> 01:48:18,449
That is very much for him to say, mem.
1475
01:48:18,524 --> 01:48:21,618
It is first time that he
shall have tried to say...
1476
01:48:21,694 --> 01:48:23,992
that he is sorry to any person.
1477
01:48:26,999 --> 01:48:29,160
Please thank him for me.
1478
01:48:38,244 --> 01:48:41,145
Memsahib,
is this to be put up with?
1479
01:48:41,213 --> 01:48:44,410
Is it to be endured for Louis sahib?
Fireworks?
1480
01:48:44,483 --> 01:48:48,442
They're holding religious services too,
if you'll listen.
1481
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:52,081
Then listen.
1482
01:48:52,157 --> 01:48:54,250
[People Praying In Distance]
1483
01:49:03,736 --> 01:49:05,829
Mem.
1484
01:49:08,507 --> 01:49:10,998
- You may go.
- Yes, mem cha.
1485
01:49:18,417 --> 01:49:21,818
- Mem cha.
- Your Royal Highness.
1486
01:49:21,887 --> 01:49:24,117
I came...
1487
01:49:24,189 --> 01:49:26,384
I wanted to ask...
1488
01:49:30,129 --> 01:49:33,530
Do you remember this?
1489
01:49:35,467 --> 01:49:38,527
When we said good-bye
to each other...
1490
01:49:38,604 --> 01:49:41,664
he gave it to me.
1491
01:49:41,740 --> 01:49:45,699
I think that you shall maybe
want it back.
1492
01:49:45,778 --> 01:49:50,112
No. It was Louis's to give
to whom he pleased.
1493
01:49:50,182 --> 01:49:53,174
You think that I may keep it?
1494
01:49:53,252 --> 01:49:55,311
Yes.
1495
01:50:02,328 --> 01:50:05,889
- Mem?
- Yes, Your Royal Highness?
1496
01:50:05,964 --> 01:50:08,762
I did not give Nar Lek...
1497
01:50:08,834 --> 01:50:11,200
That is what I called Louis...
1498
01:50:11,270 --> 01:50:14,034
I did not give him anything...
1499
01:50:14,106 --> 01:50:17,303
and there is something I would
have given to him, I think.
1500
01:50:17,376 --> 01:50:19,367
It is white.
1501
01:50:19,445 --> 01:50:23,541
Not all white, of course,
but it is whiter than most...
1502
01:50:23,615 --> 01:50:25,606
and it is mine.
1503
01:50:25,684 --> 01:50:29,051
There are not many things
that are mine, not really...
1504
01:50:29,121 --> 01:50:33,057
I mean, to give,
so if you wouldn't mind taking it...
1505
01:50:33,125 --> 01:50:36,117
maybe... maybe it would be like...
1506
01:50:36,195 --> 01:50:38,129
What is it?
1507
01:50:38,197 --> 01:50:42,930
My elephant.
It's almost white, and...
1508
01:50:45,137 --> 01:50:47,128
You liked Louis, didn't you?
1509
01:50:47,206 --> 01:50:49,640
Well, he gave me the knife...
1510
01:50:49,708 --> 01:50:53,667
and he'd like it if you had something
that could take care of you.
1511
01:50:53,746 --> 01:50:57,910
I think he's very strong, the elephant,
and I like him very much.
1512
01:50:59,818 --> 01:51:04,346
But if you gave me
this strong, gentle elephant...
1513
01:51:04,423 --> 01:51:06,448
who's going to look after you?
1514
01:51:08,327 --> 01:51:10,454
You're growing so fast...
1515
01:51:10,529 --> 01:51:13,521
your wrists are sticking
out of your jacket.
1516
01:51:15,734 --> 01:51:18,464
Somebody really ought
to look after you.
1517
01:51:18,537 --> 01:51:20,971
Mem. Mem.
[Crying]
1518
01:51:21,039 --> 01:51:23,098
Oh.
1519
01:51:38,056 --> 01:51:40,854
You sent for me, Your Majesty?
1520
01:51:45,464 --> 01:51:48,900
Yes, l... I sent for you.
1521
01:51:50,702 --> 01:51:52,693
What is it, Your Majesty?
1522
01:51:52,771 --> 01:51:55,399
L...
1523
01:52:03,115 --> 01:52:07,779
Mem, doctors I send say you do not
take medicine for sleeping as prescribed.
1524
01:52:07,853 --> 01:52:09,844
Resting shall be necessary.
1525
01:52:09,922 --> 01:52:13,517
I do not understand why you shall be
so strong-headed in this matter.
1526
01:52:13,592 --> 01:52:17,756
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I haven't...
1527
01:52:20,098 --> 01:52:22,259
I want Your Majesty to know that...
1528
01:52:22,334 --> 01:52:27,271
I'm very grateful for the kind things
you've done since...
1529
01:52:27,339 --> 01:52:29,364
since my boy's death.
1530
01:52:29,441 --> 01:52:33,275
Such things I do not important.
1531
01:52:37,783 --> 01:52:40,843
- Is that all, Your Majesty?
- No, this is not all.
1532
01:52:40,919 --> 01:52:42,978
I have other matter to talk with you.
1533
01:52:45,090 --> 01:52:48,082
Mem, I become every day
more behind with work...
1534
01:52:48,160 --> 01:52:50,185
which every day
becomes more difficult...
1535
01:52:50,262 --> 01:52:54,358
thus making for me much confusion,
weariness, et cetera.
1536
01:52:54,433 --> 01:52:57,231
For such instance,
it shall be important to know...
1537
01:52:57,302 --> 01:53:00,738
why shall geography say
this is absolute monarchy?
1538
01:53:00,806 --> 01:53:03,240
How shall I be absolute if,
when I wish for something to be so...
1539
01:53:03,308 --> 01:53:07,404
it doesn't happen in this way
despite my absolute will to the contrary?
1540
01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:11,108
Geographies. What is opinion, mem?
1541
01:53:13,051 --> 01:53:15,747
I don't know. L...
1542
01:53:15,821 --> 01:53:18,085
Never mind. Is difficult question.
1543
01:53:18,156 --> 01:53:20,852
I am also much worried
whether I shall send delegate...
1544
01:53:20,926 --> 01:53:23,793
suitable display, et cetera,
to great exhibition in Paris.
1545
01:53:23,862 --> 01:53:25,420
What is opinion?
1546
01:53:25,497 --> 01:53:29,797
It sounds like an admirable idea,
Your Majesty.
1547
01:53:29,868 --> 01:53:32,894
Mem, I think you shall not give opinions
so quickly without thinking.
1548
01:53:32,971 --> 01:53:36,236
Maybe French have murky reason
for suggesting such exhibit.
1549
01:53:36,308 --> 01:53:39,607
Why you not think of this?
1550
01:53:39,678 --> 01:53:44,513
Mem, it would be much help if you would examine
correspondence for such murky propositions.
1551
01:53:44,583 --> 01:53:47,450
This I am too burdened to do myself...
1552
01:53:47,519 --> 01:53:50,852
and there is no one else to be trusted.
1553
01:53:50,923 --> 01:53:54,415
This shall be much important, mem.
1554
01:53:54,493 --> 01:53:57,621
What shall answer be?
1555
01:53:57,696 --> 01:53:59,687
I can't, Your Majesty.
1556
01:54:03,335 --> 01:54:07,533
Mem, shall you be forgetting
that work is always best remedy?
1557
01:54:07,606 --> 01:54:10,302
I know, but I can't.
1558
01:54:10,375 --> 01:54:15,278
I can't take any more letters or give
any more advice. I'd like to, but I can't.
1559
01:54:15,347 --> 01:54:18,874
What shall you be doing, then?
1560
01:54:18,951 --> 01:54:21,545
You do not go away?
1561
01:54:21,620 --> 01:54:23,986
I don't know. L...
1562
01:54:24,056 --> 01:54:28,049
I haven't been able to think. L...
1563
01:54:28,126 --> 01:54:30,686
I'd like to keep on with my school,
I think.
1564
01:54:30,762 --> 01:54:33,390
I've nowhere else.
1565
01:54:35,267 --> 01:54:37,929
I'd like to keep on with my school.
1566
01:54:39,438 --> 01:54:41,633
But, mem, only school teaching?
1567
01:54:41,707 --> 01:54:46,041
- I think that also...
- It's the children that I want.
1568
01:54:46,111 --> 01:54:48,545
It's the children.
1569
01:54:53,785 --> 01:54:56,219
Very well, mem.
1570
01:55:03,095 --> 01:55:05,495
I think if you do other work,
such as letters...
1571
01:55:05,564 --> 01:55:09,591
such arrangement would contemplate
raise in salary, but...
1572
01:55:12,004 --> 01:55:14,268
Very well, mem.
1573
01:55:20,779 --> 01:55:23,771
That will be all for today.
1574
01:55:23,849 --> 01:55:28,912
And for tomorrow, you'll need not
prepare the lesson in geography.
1575
01:55:28,987 --> 01:55:33,117
I find His Majesty has done away
with the geographies we had...
1576
01:55:33,191 --> 01:55:35,318
so we'll have to wait
until new books arrive.
1577
01:55:35,394 --> 01:55:38,625
That's all. You may go.
1578
01:55:43,835 --> 01:55:48,169
If... If any of you would like
to remain for any questions...
1579
01:56:03,822 --> 01:56:06,382
- Mem.
- Yes, Alak?
1580
01:56:06,458 --> 01:56:08,551
- His Majesty wish you...
- I told you...
1581
01:56:08,627 --> 01:56:11,494
Mem, while writing correspondence...
1582
01:56:11,563 --> 01:56:14,657
suddenly he very angry.
1583
01:56:14,733 --> 01:56:17,497
I do not know why.
1584
01:56:17,569 --> 01:56:20,936
He say he cannot do such things alone.
1585
01:56:21,006 --> 01:56:23,634
He say no one tell him truth.
1586
01:56:23,709 --> 01:56:27,236
He say there is no one to be trusted.
1587
01:56:27,312 --> 01:56:29,303
He say...
1588
01:56:29,381 --> 01:56:33,283
Oh, mem, if you will not come...
1589
01:56:33,351 --> 01:56:35,478
it will be very bad for me.
1590
01:56:50,368 --> 01:56:52,996
[No Audible Dialogue]
1591
01:57:03,515 --> 01:57:08,248
- [Knocking]
- I'm coming. I'm coming.
1592
01:57:22,367 --> 01:57:25,996
[King]
Et cetera, et cetera...
1593
01:57:26,071 --> 01:57:28,130
et cetera.
1594
01:57:51,129 --> 01:57:52,721
- "F."
- [All] "F."
1595
01:57:52,798 --> 01:57:54,732
- "G."
- [All] "G."
1596
01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:56,427
- "H."
- [All] "H."
1597
01:57:56,768 --> 01:57:58,668
Mem.
1598
01:57:58,737 --> 01:58:00,705
You must come.
1599
01:58:00,772 --> 01:58:03,468
Quick, mem.
1600
01:58:06,111 --> 01:58:09,205
Please remain in your seats
until I return.
1601
01:58:29,935 --> 01:58:32,301
He worked late into night.
1602
01:58:32,370 --> 01:58:35,271
I thought he had fallen into sleep
as he has done so often lately...
1603
01:58:35,340 --> 01:58:37,535
and I let him rest.
1604
01:58:37,609 --> 01:58:41,409
But he was ill, very ill.
1605
01:58:41,479 --> 01:58:43,674
He asked for us.
1606
01:58:45,050 --> 01:58:47,382
But we must wait again...
1607
01:58:47,452 --> 01:58:49,977
maybe for last time.
1608
01:59:04,236 --> 01:59:06,568
Mem.
1609
01:59:11,743 --> 01:59:13,768
Yes, Your Majesty?
1610
01:59:15,847 --> 01:59:19,908
Wherefore have you not
arrived more quickly?
1611
01:59:19,985 --> 01:59:23,421
- I wish to talk to you.
- I'm sorry.
1612
01:59:23,488 --> 01:59:25,820
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
1613
01:59:25,891 --> 01:59:27,984
Sit down, mem.
1614
01:59:29,594 --> 01:59:32,529
You mustn't talk now, Your Majesty.
1615
01:59:32,597 --> 01:59:34,963
I shall talk, I say.
1616
01:59:35,033 --> 01:59:39,265
- There is not much time. I die, mem.
- No.
1617
01:59:39,337 --> 01:59:41,635
Do not say foolish things.
1618
01:59:41,706 --> 01:59:44,004
I know if I die or do not die.
1619
01:59:44,075 --> 01:59:48,205
You shouldn't be here.
Can't we move you to your room?
1620
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:53,274
No. I wish to remain here
in room with knowledge.
1621
01:59:53,351 --> 01:59:56,980
I have finished thinking about dying.
1622
01:59:57,055 --> 02:00:00,125
I think of many other things
while I am lying here.
1623
02:00:00,258 --> 02:00:04,388
I think of things
I should have said to you.
1624
02:00:06,898 --> 02:00:08,957
I mean...
1625
02:00:12,871 --> 02:00:17,467
when I think maybe
I do not see you again, l...
1626
02:00:18,543 --> 02:00:21,740
I write down these things.
1627
02:00:21,813 --> 02:00:26,409
I think maybe it will be better
he shall read them.
1628
02:00:29,120 --> 02:00:32,886
Shall you be listening, old friend?
1629
02:00:32,957 --> 02:00:35,824
There shall be words for you too.
1630
02:00:35,894 --> 02:00:37,885
I'm listening, Toongramon.
1631
02:00:40,698 --> 02:00:44,930
"I think there shall not
be much important...
1632
02:00:45,003 --> 02:00:47,267
"that a man shall die...
1633
02:00:47,338 --> 02:00:50,933
'for it is time
that does all true things...
1634
02:00:51,009 --> 02:00:53,876
'not man.
1635
02:00:53,945 --> 02:00:57,108
'Then I think it shall be important...
1636
02:00:57,182 --> 02:00:59,776
to consider those
who have been of most help. '
1637
02:00:59,851 --> 02:01:02,820
Ah! Words, words.
1638
02:01:05,823 --> 02:01:08,121
I wish to say...
1639
02:01:08,193 --> 02:01:13,256
you... you have spoken truth to me...
1640
02:01:13,331 --> 02:01:15,356
always.
1641
02:01:15,433 --> 02:01:18,368
Even when I do not wish to hear it...
1642
02:01:18,436 --> 02:01:22,236
you have always courage
to say when I am wrong.
1643
02:01:24,175 --> 02:01:26,769
You have set feet of children...
1644
02:01:26,844 --> 02:01:30,644
on excellent path of learning...
1645
02:01:30,715 --> 02:01:35,652
and are therefore most affectionately
thought of by same.
1646
02:01:37,121 --> 02:01:42,081
More so than regular parents...
1647
02:01:42,160 --> 02:01:45,254
including self.
1648
02:01:45,330 --> 02:01:50,461
So that if some shall grow
better than parents...
1649
02:01:50,535 --> 02:01:53,368
it shall be your doing.
1650
02:01:56,507 --> 02:01:59,533
And as reward for this...
1651
02:01:59,611 --> 02:02:02,512
what shall I have done?
1652
02:02:02,580 --> 02:02:07,347
I have often lost my temper on you.
1653
02:02:07,418 --> 02:02:10,546
I have never spoken gratitude or feeling.
1654
02:02:12,257 --> 02:02:17,456
I haven't even given
promised raise in salary.
1655
02:02:19,163 --> 02:02:21,461
I do not wish to die...
1656
02:02:21,532 --> 02:02:23,864
without having said that...
1657
02:02:23,935 --> 02:02:29,032
gratitude and... and...
1658
02:02:29,107 --> 02:02:31,234
and large respect...
1659
02:02:31,309 --> 02:02:33,834
and...
1660
02:02:36,781 --> 02:02:40,649
confidence on you...
1661
02:02:40,718 --> 02:02:43,744
which shall have become larger...
1662
02:02:43,821 --> 02:02:46,813
every day.
1663
02:02:50,628 --> 02:02:54,564
But, mem, if I haven't graciously...
1664
02:02:54,632 --> 02:02:58,625
said this gratitude before...
1665
02:02:58,703 --> 02:03:01,729
you must remember you have been...
1666
02:03:01,806 --> 02:03:04,036
very difficult woman...
1667
02:03:06,611 --> 02:03:11,241
and much more difficult
than the generality.
1668
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:18,115
Generality.
1669
02:03:20,558 --> 02:03:22,753
It's a good word.
1670
02:03:24,929 --> 02:03:27,420
It means...
1671
02:03:27,498 --> 02:03:30,365
- It means...
- Never mind.
1672
02:03:35,940 --> 02:03:39,376
True progress...
1673
02:03:39,444 --> 02:03:42,072
shall lie...
1674
02:03:47,185 --> 02:03:50,052
et cetera...
1675
02:03:50,121 --> 02:03:53,090
et cetera...
1676
02:03:53,157 --> 02:03:56,217
et cetera.
1677
02:04:00,965 --> 02:04:03,695
[Man Praying]
1678
02:04:40,872 --> 02:04:42,897
He tried so hard.
1679
02:04:42,974 --> 02:04:45,169
No one will ever know.
1680
02:04:46,577 --> 02:04:50,069
It was so hard to let anyone help him.
1681
02:04:50,148 --> 02:04:55,450
He wanted to, but he couldn't.
1682
02:04:55,520 --> 02:04:59,820
He was like a little boy sometimes.
1683
02:04:59,891 --> 02:05:03,691
You remember,
about the forks and knives.
1684
02:05:03,761 --> 02:05:07,356
And he was sick that night,
he cared so much.
1685
02:05:07,432 --> 02:05:10,799
They didn't know he cared like that.
1686
02:05:10,868 --> 02:05:13,359
Nobody understood.
1687
02:05:13,438 --> 02:05:15,736
Not really.
1688
02:05:16,908 --> 02:05:19,775
It seems a long time ago...
1689
02:05:19,844 --> 02:05:24,042
I tried to make you understand
this man.
1690
02:05:24,115 --> 02:05:27,551
I do not think I said it half so well.
1691
02:05:27,618 --> 02:05:30,382
What happens now?
1692
02:05:30,455 --> 02:05:32,480
All his work...
1693
02:05:32,557 --> 02:05:35,754
I think now the young prince
will have much need of you.
1694
02:05:35,827 --> 02:05:40,230
It was meant that you
shall stay and help him.
1695
02:06:19,237 --> 02:06:22,729
Let this, our first message
to our people...
1696
02:06:22,807 --> 02:06:25,071
be proclaimed.
1697
02:06:25,142 --> 02:06:29,340
And not as if we were doing
a great and lordly thing...
1698
02:06:29,413 --> 02:06:33,577
but only what is right and fitting.
1699
02:06:33,651 --> 02:06:38,054
That from this hour,
the ancient national custom...
1700
02:06:38,122 --> 02:06:42,718
of obeisance on hands
and knees is abolished...
1701
02:06:42,793 --> 02:06:46,889
and all men
shall stand before the king...
1702
02:06:46,964 --> 02:06:51,128
and before one another,
as men should do.
1703
02:07:19,797 --> 02:07:23,062
And let it be the spirit
of this proclamation...
1704
02:07:23,134 --> 02:07:26,228
that this shall be
the first of many changes...
1705
02:07:26,304 --> 02:07:30,001
which we hope to bring about
as soon as they are possible...
1706
02:07:30,074 --> 02:07:35,137
as I believe my father, the late king,
would wish us to do...
1707
02:07:37,882 --> 02:07:40,715
and as I have learned...
1708
02:07:40,785 --> 02:07:44,118
it is right and necessary to do...
1709
02:07:44,188 --> 02:07:47,783
if we are to live
and work together...
1710
02:07:47,858 --> 02:07:52,659
in liking and respect
for one another...
1711
02:07:52,730 --> 02:07:58,100
as we must do if we are to work together
for the good of our country.
