Original subtitles

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream

The earth and every common sight

To me did seem Apparell'd in celestial light

The glory and the freshness of a dream

Child.

Hold that then. Quickly.

just hold still.

Put your hat on.

It'll last all through the summer.

Run along.

Run along.

How queer everything is today!

I wonder if I've been changed in the night?

Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning?

I almost think I can remember feeling a little different

But If I'm not the same, the next question is, who in the world am I?

Ah, that's the great puzzle!

Who am I?

I'll try If I know all the things I used to.

Let me see:

Four times five

is...is twelve,

and four times six

is thirteen,

and four times seven is...

Curiouser and curiouser!

How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail

And pour the waters of the Nile on every golden scale!

I think the main problem is how we all get dry.

Yes, yes.

If you'd all be quiet and listen to me, I'll soon make you dry enough!

Yes, yes, yes.

- Are you ready? - Yes, yes.

- Here is the driest thing that I know. - Yes, yes.

- Silence all around, please. - Yes, yes, yes.

William the Conqueror, whose cause was favoured by the Pope,

was soon submitted to by the English, who wanted leaders,

and were of late much accustomed to usurpation and conquest

Edwin and Mortar, the earls of Mercia and Northumbria...

I have never been so bored in my life.

- Yes. Yes, yes. - Yes, yes.

Did you speak!

- No, not a word. - Yes, yes.

- I thought you did. - Yes, yes, yes.

- I shall proceed. - Yes, yes.

Edwin and Mortar, the earls of Mercia and Northumbria, soon declared for him...

- Ugh! - Oh!

...And even Stigand, as the patriotic archbishop of Canterbury,

found it advisable to go with Edgar Atheling and offer William the crown.

While the country still reeled under the shock of the conquest,

the conqueror followed it by introducing the feudal system...

- ...which was hardly a ray of sunshine...

- Agh! - ...as it drove a coach and horses

through the middle of the Anglo-Saxon politic as it was then.

Hm? Oh.

- How are you getting on now, my dear? - Yes?

Oh, in that case, I move that this meeting adjourn for more energetic measures,

and I think a good thing would be to have a Caucus-race.

What's a Caucus-race?

Well, best way to explain it...

- ...is for us all to do it, hm?

Come along, come along!

Uh!

This'll never do.

Come on, come on, come on!

Come on! Come on, come on!

Come along now, come along!

Off you go, that's it, that's it.

Come on now, come on!

- All right, the race is over!

Who has won? Who has won?

Everybody's won, and everyone must have prizes.

Prizes... Prizes... Prizes... Prizes

Prizes.

Prizes. . . Prizes

Prizes. . . Prizes

Who's to give the prizes?

- Why, she will, of course. - Prizes.

- The prizes. - Prizes. Prizes.

Prizes. Prizes.

Prizes. Prizes.

- Prizes. Prizes. - Prizes.

- Prizes. Prizes. - Prizes.

- Prizes. Prizes. - Prizes.

- Prizes. - Prizes.

She must have a prize herself, of course.

Well, of course she must. Er... what else have you got in your pocket, eh?

- Only a thimble. - Oh, let me see.

Uh!

I beg your acceptance of this elegant thimble

Perhaps you would care to continue with your story.

You obviously have your own methods of drying off.

I don't see why I should waste my breath on it any more.

- More story. - More story.

I'll do nothing of the sort.

What a pity he wouldn't stay!

Come along! Come along! We're late.

Mary Ann. Mary Ann.

Fetch me my gloves this moment.

Quickly. Quickly.

I'm sure I'm not Ada.

She's got long ringlets. My hair doesn't go in ringlets at all.

And I'm sure I ain't be Mabel,

because I know all sorts of things and she knows nothing.

Besides, she's she and I'm...

Oh dear how puzzling it all is!

How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tall

And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin How neatly spread his claws

And welcome little fishes in with gently smiling jaws!

I must be Mabel after all.

Oh, I'll have to go and live in that poky little house.

Mary Ann, do you hear me? Fatch me my gloves and fan.

I'll go round and get in the window.

And a barrelful will do to begin with.

- A barrelful of what?

We must burn the house down.

Who are you? Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Come on, don't just stand there.

Who are you?

I'm afraid I don't know just at the moment.

I know who I was when I got up this morning,

but I think I've changed several times since then

What do you mean by that exactly?

Explain yourself.

Afraid I can't explain myself.

I'm not myself, you see.

No, I don't see.

Well, I can't put it any more clearly, I'm afraid,

because I don't understand it myself,

and it's very confusing changing size so often.

It's not at all.

Well, I imagine you'll feel a bit queer when you change size, won't you?

- Not a bit. - Well, it feels very queer to me.

Who are you?

I think you ought to tell me who you are first.

Why?

Come back!

Come...

I have something important to say.

Yes?

Keep your temper.

Is that all?

No.

So...

- you're thinking of changing, are you? - I'm afraid I am.

You see, I can't remember things I used to

and I can't stay the same size for more than ten minutes together.

What sort of things?

Well, I've tried to say How Doth The Little Busy Bee, but it came out all different.

Very well.

Repeat...

You Are Old, Father William.

'You are old, Father William,' the young man said...

- 'And your hair has become very white

'And yet you incessantly stand on your head-- Do you think at your age it is right?'

- 'In my youth,' said the sage,

as he shook his gray locks...

- Um...

Um...

'In my youth,' said the sage, as he shook his gray locks,

- I kept all my limbs very supple

'By the use of this ointment--

'One shilling a box-- Allow me to sell you a couple?'

- 'You are old,' said the youth,

'and your jaws are too weak For anything tougher than...

- 'than suet;

'Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?'

'Be off or I'll kick you downstairs!'

That's not quite right!

I'm afraid some of the words seem to have got altered.

No! It is wrong from beginning to end.

What...what size do you want to be?

I'm not particular as to size.

It's just that one doesn't like changing so often, you know.

No, I don't know.

- Are...are you happy now? - Well, I'd like to be a little larger.

Hm. Seems a very nice size to me.

- But I'm not used to it. - Hm.

- You'll get used to it in time.

You'll never make them people hear in there, you see,

cos they're...like they're making too much noise themselves.

I mean, you follow what I mean. You can hear 'em.

How am I to get in, then?

Hm.

- Hm!

Hm!

Hm.

Oh, excuse me. Something seems to be cropping up in this area over here.

An invitation from the Queen for the Duchess to play croquet.

Oh, let's have a look.

This the one, then, is it?

Mm.

Yes, right, then. Thank you.

Just, er...just sink quietly out of sight for me, will you?

Yes.

- Now, then. I'll tell you what I'll do.

- Tell you what I'll do for you.

Nothing. How's that? Any good to you at all? Nothing?

I mean, I wouldn't be able to do it straightaway, I'll say that

I couldn't possibly do it straightaway

'cause I got all these things cropping up I have to deal with.

I... Well, you saw just now.

- Something cropped up there.

And I get...the same type of thing I get cropping up all the time, you see.

So naturally I got my hands full.

But If I was to do nothing for you...

I can't promise I could, but If I was to do nothing for you,

I'd have to sort of find a time, you see,

when I could squeeze it in, you see what I mean?

- I think you're absolutely idiotic. - Oh. Oh, well.

Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not

- Why does your cat look like that? - It's a Cheshire cat, that's why.

Pig!

I didn't know that Cheshire cats looked like that

All of them can and most of them do.

- I don't know that any of them do. - You don't know much and that's a fact.

Oh dear, oh dear.

Oh! Oh! Here we go, here we go, here we go.

- Mind the baby!

If everybody minded their own business,

the world would turn a great deal faster than it does.

That wouldn't be a great advantage.

The world turns on its axis every 24 hours.

Oh-ho-ho!

Don't bother me, I never could abide figures Could I?

Speak roughly to your little boy And beat him when he sneezes

He only does it to annoy Because he knows it teases!

' Wow! Wow! Wow!

I speak severely to my boy I beat him when he sneezes

For he can thoroughly enjoy The pepper when he pleases!

Wow, wow, wow, wow!

Yes, yes

For he could thoroughly enjoy The pepper If he pleases!

Yes, yes, yes,

Here, nurse him for a bit.

Which way ought I to go from here?

That depends a great deal on where you want to go to.

I don't much care where.

Then it doesn't matter which way you go.

So long as I get somewhere.

Oh, you're sure to do that if you only walk long enough.

What sort of people live about here?

in that direction is a Hatter and in that direction lives a March Hare.

They're both mad.

But I don't want to go among mad people.

Oh, you ain't help that we're all mad here.

I'm mad. You're mad.

By-the-by, what became of the baby? I'd nearly forgotten to ask.

It turned into a pig.

Ha. I thought it would.

Did you say pig, or fig?

I said pig-

No room

Oh.

- No room. - No room. No room, no room

- There's no... - No room!

No room. No, no, no room. No room

- No room. - There's no room.

- No room. - There's no room.

- There's plenty of room. - Oh. Oh.

- Have some wine. - I don't see any wine.

- There isn't any. - Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it.

It wasn't very civil of you to sit down before you were invited.

I thought you did invite me,

and anyway, the table's laid for a great deal more than three.

Your, um...your...

your hair, er...wants cutting

You shouldn't make personal remarks. It's very rude.

Oh. Why is a raven like a writing-desk, I wonder.

Oh, I'm glad you've begun asking riddles. I think I can guess that one.

Do you mean that you can find the answer to it?

- Exactly. - Then you should say what you mean.

(Alice) I do. At least, I mean what I say.

- It's the same thing, you know. - It isn't the same thing a bit.

You might as well say that I, er... 'I see what I eat'

is the same thing as 'I eat what I see'!

You might just as well say

that 'I like what I get' is the same thing as 'I get what I like'!

Yes.

You might as well say...

'I sleep when I breathe' is the same thing as 'I breathe when I sleep'!

- Oh, it is the same thing with you.

- Oh, what day of the month is it? - I think it's the fourth.

Oh! Ha-ha-ha!

Two days wrong! I knew that butter wouldn't be good for the works.

- It was the best butter

Yes, but we must have got some crumbs in with it or something.

I told you not to use the bread-knife.

- It was the best butter. - That's as maybe.

What a curious watch! It tells the day of the month and not what time it is.

Of course it does, child. Does your watch tell you what year it is?

Of course not. That's because it's the same year for so long together.

Exactly! Well, it's just the same with my watch. Oh!

When Adam and Eve were first deprived of the golden hand by Heaven...

Oh, the Dormouse is falling asleep again.

- Have you guessed the riddle yet? - No, I give up. What is the answer?

I haven't the slightest idea.

Nor I.

I think you might do something better with your time

than waste it on riddles that have no answers.

If you knew Time as well as I do, you wouldn't talk about it. It's him.

I don't know what you mean.

Of course you don't! I dare say you've never even spoken to Time!

Perhaps not, but I know I have to beat time when I learn music.

Uh!

Uh!

Ho-ho-ho-ho! That amounts for it!

He can't stand beating.

But if you keep on good terms with Time,

he'll do anything with a clock that you want.

For example, supposing it's half past nine in the morning,

you just whisper a hint to Time.

Around goes the clock and it's half past one in the afternoon, time for dinner!

I only wish it were.

Yes, it might be rather nice

but then I wouldn't be hungry for it, you know.

Not at first, perhaps, but you could keep it

at half past one for as long as you like.

Is that the way you manage?

Oh, no, no, no, no. We quarreled last March.

Just before he went mad, you know.

It was at a concert given by the Queen of Hearts. I had to sing that song.

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!

How I wonder what you're at!

You're familiar with it, doubtless?

- I've heard something like it. - Yes, it goes on...

Up above the world the world you

- (Insect buzzes) - Like a tea tray in the sky

Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle...

Oh, well, I'd hardly finished the first verse

when the Queen jumps up and bawls out,

'He's murdering the Time! Off with his head!'

- How dreadfully savage! - Oh, yes, yes, yes!

Ho-ho! And ever since then, Time won't do a thing for me

It's always six O'clock now.

Is that the reason why so many tea things are put out here?

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

It's always...it's always teatime

and of course we don't get much time to wash the things up between whiles.

- So you keep moving round, I suppose. - Oh, we keep...we keep moving round.

Yes, yes, yes.

As the things get used up.

What happens when you get back to the beginning?

- Oh! - Suppose we change the subject.

I'm getting dreadfully bored by this.

- I vote the young lady tells us a story. - Oh.

- I'm afraid I don't know one. - Oh.

Then the Dormouse will.

I wasn't asleep. I heard every word you fellows were saying.

Tell us a story!

You'd better get on with it, otherwise you'll fall asleep again before you're done.

- Heh-heh-heh.

Once upon a time there were three little sisters.

Oh, yes.

They were named Elsie, Lacie and Tillie...

...and they lived at the bottom of a well.

- What did they live on? - Ah.

- They lived on...treacle. - They couldn't have done that, you know.

- They'd have been ill. - Aye, they were.

Very, very ill.

But why did they live at the bottom of a well?

Oh.

- Take some more tea. - I've had nothing yet, so I can't take more.

What you mean is you can't take less. It's very easy to take more than nothing.

- Nobody asked for your opinion. - Now who's making personal remarks, eh?

Oh.

Why did they live at the bottom of a well?

- It was a treacle well. - There's no such thing.

If you cannot be civil, you tell the story yourself.

I won't Interrupt again. I dare say there may be one

Oh, Indeed!

Well...

the three little sisters, they were all learning to draw, you know.

What did they draw?

(Others) Treacle

Oh.

I don't understand. Where did they draw the treacle from?

You draw water from a water well. You draw treacle from a treacle well, eh, stupid?

But they were in the well.

Well in.

Then they learnt to draw.

And they always drew something beginning with an M.

- Why an M? - Why not?

Everything beginning with an M...

such as Mousetraps,

Money,

Memory.

And muchness.

I bet you never saw anything like the drawing of a muchness.

- Really, now you say it, I don't... - Then you shouldn't talk.

- Oh.

It's the stupidest tea party I was ever at

(Insect buzzes)

Why are you painting those roses?

What's that? What's that?

Will you hold that book steady? I can't see to paint.

- What are you doing it for? - Doing it for?

- Yes. - Yes.

Yes, what am I doing it for?

Yes, well, that is the question, isn't it?

Ah. You see? It's no good.

It's all a problem of colour, you see.

The, er...problem of these being coloured white when red was what was asked for.

- Who's to know? - Oh! Oh, yes, that's good.

Ha-ha-ha! Yes, I like that.

Ha-ha-ha! Yes, who's to know? The Queen, that's who.

The Queen doesn't miss a trick.

It doesn't look much like a red rose to me.

Oh, well, perhaps you'd like to have a go at it yourself, then.

Yes, perhaps you'd like to have a go at it yourself.

I think we can do without any help from you, thank you very much...

- Look!

It's the Queen.

Ah, yes. And who's this?

- Yes, who is this? - Or perhaps I shouldn't ask.

Idiot. Absolute idiot. You've got an absolute idiot for a son.

Yes, but he's tall. He's very tall.

Come along, child, speak up. What's your name?

- My name is Alice. - Ah. Oh.

- Er... - And who are these?

- Or perhaps I shouldn't ask. - How should I know? It's no business of mine.

You little hussy. Off with her head.

Nonsense.

Ah, yes. And what have you been doing here? Or perhaps I shouldn't ask.

Or perhaps I should.

Ha-ha! Painting white roses red, hm?

Perhaps you have an explanation?

Well, ma'am, it's by way of rectifying a mistake.

What I've always said is what the eye don't see the heart don't grieve over.

I think that's for me to judge. Off with their heads.

- It's a very fine day.

- Very. Where's the Duchess? - She's under sentence of execution

- What for? - She boxed the Queen's ears. Whoops.

All right!

Get in your places!

You heard what she said.

How are you getting on?

I don't think they play at all fairly.

How do you like the Queen?

Not at all.

- Who are you talking to? - It's a friend of mine.

I don't like the look of it at all.

- A cat may look at a queen. - Cats are allowed to do that.

It must be removed. Executioner!

About that cat. I want its head taken off. Right off.

Yeah, well, you've got a problem there, haven't you?

I mean, with regard to cutting off a head, you got a real problem,

unless there's a body to cut it off from.

I mean, you see what I mean.

Don't talk nonsense. Anything that has a head can be beheaded.

Anyway, who does it belong to?

It belongs to the Duchess and you'd better ask her about it.

- Ha-ha. - Oh.

(Birdsong)

Oh! You can't think how glad I am to see you, you dear old thing!

You're thinking about something and that makes you forget to talk.

I can't remember the moral of that, but I shall remember it in a moment

Perhaps it hasn't got a moral

Tut-tut! My dear child, everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.

The game seems to be coming on much better now.

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

And the moral of it is... 'tis love, 'tis love makes the world go round.

I thought it mas done by everybody minding their own business.

Oh! Well, yes.

Well, it means much the same thing.

And the moral of that is,

take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.

Oh, she's jolly fond of finding morals.

I dare say you're wondering why I don't put my arm round your waist.

Well, the reason is I'm doubtful of the temper of your flamingo.

I haven't got a flamingo any more.

How true, how true! Flamingos and mustard, both bite.

And the moral of that is, birds of a feather flock together!

But mustard isn't a bird.

Right as usual. You do have a nice clear way of putting things.

It's a mineral, I think.

Yes, of course it is, and there's a rather large mustard mine quite near here.

Ha-ha! And the moral of it is,

the more there is of mine, the less there is of yours.

I know, it's a vegetable. It doesn't look like one but it is.

I quite agree with you.

And the moral of that is, be what you'd seem to be.

Or if you would like it put more simply,

never imagine yourself not to be otherwise

than what it would appear to others

that what you were and what you might have been is not otherwise...

...than what you have been.

I think I'd understand that a bit better if I had it written down,

and I'm afraid I can't quite follow it as you say it.

Oh! I could say much better than that If I chose.

Please don't trouble yourself to say it any longer than that.

Don't talk about trouble. I'll make you a present of everything I've said as yet

A cheap sort of present, I must say.

- Thinking again? - I have a right to think.

About as much right as pigs have to fly. And the moral...

Either you or your head must be off in the next five minutes!

Take your choice.

She'll be the death of me. Come on, let's get on with the game.

Well, here we are.

- What's happened to them? - They're going to be executed.

- What do you mean? - They're going to have their heads taken off.

- What, all of them? - Yes, the whole lot.

There's no point spoiling the ship for a ha'p'orth of tar.

- Have you seen the Mock Turtle? - No, who's that?

Hm, you'd better ask the Gryphon about that. He would be able to let you know.

(Seagulls cry)

That's just her fantasy. She never executes anyone.

Ah, there he is.

- What's he so sad about? - That's just his fantasy.

He's got nothing to be sad about, really.

This young lady wants to hear your life history.

All right. I'll tell it to her.

But don't speak a word till I finish.

But how can he finish if he doesn't begin?

Shh. He's got to get into the mood.

When we were little, we all went to school in the sea.

The master was an old turtle - we used to call him Tortoise...

Why did you call him Tortoise if he wasn't one?

We called him Tortoise because he taught us. Really, you are very dull.

Ashamed of you asking such a simple question as that.

We had the best of educations.

In fact we went to school every day.

I've been to a day school too. It's nothing to be so proud about.

- With extras? - Yes, we learned French and music.

And washing?

- Certainly not. - Aha.

Well, then, yours wasn't really a good school.

At our school we always had at the end of the bill,

'music, French and washing...extra'

But I couldn't afford to learn it. I only took the regular course.

What was that?

Reeling and writhing, of course, to begin with,

and then there were the different branches of Arithmetic,

Ambition, Distraction, Uglification and Derision.

I never heard of Uglification before.

Never heard of uglify?

- You've heard of beautifying, I suppose? - Yes.

Need I say more?

Then there was Mystery, ancient and modern,

and then Drawling.

That was with the Drawling master. He used to come once a week.

He taught us Drawling, Stretching,

and Fainting in Coils.

What was that like?

I couldn't possibly show you myself. I'm much too stiff.

And he never learnt it.

I hadn't time. But I went to the Classical master.

Mm, I never went to him.

He taught Laughing and Grief, or so they said.

So he did, so he did.

- How many hours a day did you do lessons? - Ten hours the first day.

- Nine the second. - And so on.

- How odd. - Not odd at all.

That's why they're called lessons, because they lessen from day to day.

Then the eleventh day must have been a holiday.

So it was.

So it was.

But then how did you manage on the 12th day?

Oh, that's enough about lessons. Tell her about the games.

Have you ever done the Lobster Quadrille?

No. What sort of a dance is that?

Well, first you form a line along the seashore.

No, two lines. Then after you've cleared the jellyfish out of the way...

That generally takes some time.

- ...you advance twice. - Each with a lobster as a partner.

You advance twice, set to partners...

Change lobsters and retire in the same order.

It must be a very pretty dance.

- Would you like to hear some of it? - Very much indeed.

Well, we'll sing.

Oh, you sing it. I can't remember the words.

Will you walk a little faster? Said the whiting to the snail.

There's a porpoise close behind me And he's treading on my tail

See how eagerly the lobsters And the turtles all advance!

They are waiting on the shingle Won't you come and join the dance?

Will. you, won't you, will you, won't you Will you join the dance?

Will you, won't you, will you, won't you Won't you join the dance?

You can really have no notion How delightful it will be

When they take us up and throw us With the lobsters out to sea

But the snail replied

'Too far, too far!'

And gave a look askance

Said he thanked the whiting kindly But he would not join the dance

Would not, could not, could not, would not Could not join the dance

Could not, would not...

Could not, would not

Would not join

The dance

- The trial's beginning.

The trial's beginning.

- Who are they? - The jury.

What are they doing?

Taking down their names in case they forget them before the trial ends.

- Stupid things.

- Oh! Oh! Oh!

- Silence in court!

- Read the accusation.

The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer's day:

The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts And took them quite away!

- Consider your verdict.

Not yet, not yet! There's a great deal to do before that!

- Is there? Oh, dear.

Well, um...er...

call the first witness.

First witness.

Good morning.

Hello.

Come on, come on.

Oh, yes.

Come on! Come along!

Oh, I beg your pardon, Your Majesty, for bringing these along,

but I hadn't quite finished my tea when I was sent for.

Well, you ought to have finished. When did you begin?

The, er...

Let me see. I think it was the, er...

- 14th of March - 15th.

- 16th? - Yes.

16th. Write that down.

And take off your hat.

Ah...it, um...it...

Oh, dear.

It is...it isn't...it isn't mine.

- It's, er...

Stolen, is it?

No, no, no. I, er...

I keep them to sell, Your Majesty, you see.

I'm a...I'm a hatter.

- A very nervous hatter. - Yes, I am, yes.

- Well, don't be nervous. - No.

Don't be nervous. just give your evidence, or I shall have you executed, you know.

I'm...I'm allowed to do that

- I can have anyone executed. - Yes, yes.

I have the power...power.

Ah...I'm a very poor man, Your Majesty.

And I hadn't begun my tea...

well, not above a week or so,

and what with the bread and butter getting so thin...

- ...and the twinkling of tea, I...

- Twinkling of the what? - Er...it began with the tea.

Oh! I know that.

I'm not a fool. I know that twinkling begins with a T.

- Oh. - I'm not a complete idiot, am I?

- Go on, go on.

Like I said, Your Majesty, I'm a...I'm a poor man

and, um...most things twinkled after that.

- I didn't. - You did.

- I didn't. I deny it. - He denies it.

- Leave out that part

After that, I, er... I cut some bread and butter and...

And after that, what happened?

Ah, that...that I can't remember.

Yes, yes, well, you must remember it, or I'll have to have you executed.

I'm a...I'm a poor man, Your Majesty.

You are a jolly poor speaker, that's for sure.

Get down, sit down and stand clear away.

Oh, thank you.

God bless you, Your Majesty. Ha-ha-ha!

Excuse me.

I do hope you manage to get the funds to pay it.

- Next witness.

- Give your evidence. - Shan't.

Oh, well, that's the end of that, then.

Aah!

Your Majesty must cross-examine this witness.

- Must I? - Yes.

Oh.

Oh.

Thank you.

What are tarts made of?

- Pepper mostly-

Anything you want to add to that?

Yes, go away-

Go away with the pepper-

Oh.

- Next witness. - No, don't let's have another witness.

Let's have a...let's have a song.

Come on, lads, give us a melody. Come along now.

We... We've all rehearsed.

And we'll all

Swing together

Britain shall be saved

In all sorts of weather

Come what may

And we'll all swing together

With our bodies between our knees

Yes, we'll all swing together

With our bodies between our knees...

- Ah.

They don't reach verdicts like that any more.

Oh dear.

Right.

Next witness.

Alice!

Ah. What have you got to say for yourself?

Nothing.

- Nothing? - Nothing whatever.

Oh, that's very important

Unimportant, Your Majesty means, of course.

Ah. Oh.

Oh. I thought I meant important. That's what I thought I meant.

Ah. Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Ah.

Ah.

Ahh!

Silence in court! Silence in court!

All persons more than a mile high to leave, er...court!

- I'm not a mile high. - Yes, you are.

Nearly two miles high.

Consider your silences.

Their verses.

No, no, no, no! There's more evidence to come yet.

This paper's just been picked up.

- What's in it? - I haven't opened it yet.

But it seems to be a letter written by the prisoner to somebody.

Well, it must be that.

I mean, it can't just be written to nobody I mean, you can't just write to nobody.

I mean, If you did that all the time, the...

Well, I mean the post office'd come to a standstill.

I mean, you've got to have somebody...

I mean, well...

Well, it's not allowed.

Who's it directed to?

It isn't directed at all. In fact, there's nothing written on the outside.

It isn't a letter at all. It's a set of verses.

- Are they in the prisoner's handwriting? - No, they're not.

And that's the queerest thing about it.

You've been imitating people's hands and writings again.

Please, Your Majesty.

I didn't...

...write it.

And I can... (Oinks) ...prove that I didn't.

There's no name signed at the end.

Well, that only makes the matter worse.

You must have meant some mischief

or else you would have signed your name like an honest man.

- That proves his guilt. - It proves nothing of the sort.

- Hold your tongue. - I won't.

- Off with her head! Off with her head!

Off with her head! Off with her head!

Off with her head! Off with her head!

Off with her head!

Off with her head! Off with her head!

It is not now as it has been of yore

Turn wheresoe'er I may by night or day

The things which I have seen I now can see no more

Open Sesame

Close Sesame

Hamza, Zafar, scout ahead.

Then what happened Baba?

What else? The princess is a princess after all.

She was adamant. The Vizier tried to reason with her.

She said that she wouldn't even drink a drop of water...

until she had avenged her father's death.

In that blazing heat when even the eagles would desert their eggs...

there she sat, thirsting but not drinking.

Baba, this story of yours makes me thirsty.

Bandits

Bandits!

The bandits! Run!

No! Don't run! Hold your ground!

Don't run! Corral the camels.

The bombs... give me the bombs.

They have the magic! The fires of the Satan!

They are raining the fire! We can't fight them.

Then I must bring the Satan's fire to serve me.

What Satan fears the fires of Satan?

Attack!

No! Don't kill my Baba! (Baba = Father)

Where did your father find the fires of the Satan?

It's gunpowder.

My Baba is the only one who knows the secrets of gunpowder.

Don't kill him, please.

This is the soil from Satan's Hell. Gunpowder. With its power, we could...

Help!

Help!

Qazi sahib! (Qazi = Sheriff)

Please! Help me! Someone help me!

I'm ruined!

Qazi Nuruddin at your service. What is your plaint?

I've been ruined. I had set out with my caravan.

They attacked all of a sudden! All my men have been killed!

They looted everything! I'm ruined!

Who were they?

That one-eyed Jack. The one who holds all of Bahrestan to ransom!

Abu Hassan!

Do not cry. I will help you.

Have this announced.

Hear one, hear all.

The Sultan of Bahrestan and Qazi Nuruddin...

proclaim a reward of 10,00 Dinars for the capture...

of Abu Hassan, the bandit, dead or alive.

Good-for-nothing fellow!

Where the hell have you been?

I nearly died and went to Hell!

Blood? Whose blood is it?

The camel's. - The camel's?

My dear brother, there's more to the world than your bloody Dinars.

If it's on me, it could be my blood, no?

Let me see.

It's a deep gash.

Amma... (Amma = Mother)

Shut up.

What happened?

Your darling baby got into a fight.

Allah! Look at all that blood! The wound needs a dressing.

Else the wound could get worse.

Useless fellow!

Must you fool your brother? This is insolence.

He was going to bash me up. And that foul mouthing...

He's your elder. He's like a father to you.

No. No one can take the place of my father. Not even my brother.

I was so young when Baba went away. I don't even remember his face.

I miss Baba. When I see this mark of my father that I wear...

I wish I could be with Baba.

Yusuf Merchant, for folks at home, having you back would be like...

celebrating the Idd. - The moon that marks the Idd...

comes once a year. I'm going home after years.

Why after so many years? - For four years I have tried...

to make this crossing. But every time the weather has been inclement.

Godspeed.

Aka... (Aka = Uncle)

The sun is about to set. The men are tired. Where do we pitch tents?

At the Oasis of Mercy We are near the oasis now.

As you wish.

Ten more days this crossing will take us.

There will be no more water after this stop.

The next watering will be at the dam of the "Blossoming Gardens".

Happy tidings! My shop's fortunes have changed!

What can I offer you Bano? (Bano = Lady)

I'm just taking a look. - Sure. Take a good look.

You'll find pretty things here. As pretty as you are.

These bladders...

What do these cost? - Forget the price.

Take a look at it first.

Consider the shop and the shopkeeper yours.

Two Dinars.

That's too much.

Too less, Bano. No one else in town stocks this stuff.

Why not?

Haven't you heard about Abu Hassan?

He won't let a single caravan reach Blossoming Gardens.

That is true.

All right give me twenty.

Never mind. Some other time. - Take it.

A letter from Baba. He's coming with his caravan.

He's bringing a lot of merchandise.

Show me. What does he write?

Lady, you bring us good luck. I set my eyes on you...

and here I get news that my father is headed home.

The next time you come, I'll show you...

silks from Pataliputra, muslin from Dhaka and lots more from Hindustan.

When is your father coming?

The caravan set out from Takshila on the 15th day of the month of Moharram.

They will reach Blossoming Gardens on the 11th of this month.

This is what you need for the gunpowder.

May I see my father now?

Find out where they'll camp the night before they reach Blossoming Gardens.

Fatima!

My child!

Don't weep my child, don't weep.

Those tears won't help us break out of here.

But you could've escaped! Why did you come back?

I couldn't desert you, Baba.

Had you escaped, you would've got a chance to try and get me freed.

If they send you out again to spy for them...

make sure you get away. Don't come back.

If I don't come back, they will kill you.

I stay here as long as you are here.

Old man, make sure the bombs are ready by tomorrow.

Else, your daughter is dead.

Must be a bad day for some unfortunate caravan.

Everything is all right. Let us rest.

One of Yusuf Merchant's forefathers built this dam.

This canal is the lifeline for the Blossoming Gardens.

What goes on? What are you doing?

Men, find out who these people are.

Run!

Douse the fire!

Make sure the loot isn't washed away with the corpses.

Don't worry, Sardar! (Sardar = Captain)

I was going to give it to you, Sardar!

Or was it for your girl?

The canal! The water is finished!

The water! - Water!

Hear that? They say that the water is finished!

Come on. Let's find out.

Qasim! Take a look here. Could this be our Baba?

Thanks to The Lord, he isn't.

I don't even remember what Baba looks like.

Don't worry. Baba isn't among the dead here.

Let's search once more.

Allah, please keep our father safe!

Could it be possible that this isn't Baba's caravan?

Pray Allah, be it so!

Qazi sahib! My son is orphaned!

Give him to me.

People of the Blossoming Gardens, you must have courage!

Do not cry, my child.

Till such time that we have the strength to fight...

no Abu Hassan... no one in this world can ever conquer us.

He might have blown up the dam. He might have destroyed our city.

But we won't let him make us die of thirst. We will have wells dug.

You will be able to buy water. - What will the poor do, Qazi sahib?

Why not petition the Badshah to build the dam once again?

Come hell or high water...

What a shame!

The Badshah will never build the dam.

That's because he can't afford to build it.

Who is going to build the dam? - We will. Together we can.

Remember, nothing can be done unless the Badshah grants his permission.

Qasim!

What?

This is the stuff that you stock.

That girl! She bought it! She must be with the bandits who blew up the dam!

Look! What a prize I've got us!

Come on...

Out of the way...

Don't touch her.

Come on.

Dance.

Dance!

I'm a damsel, a damsel...

So many lust after me, of all of them who should I make my lover?

I'm a damsel, a damsel...

So many lust after me, of all of them who should I make my lover?

I'm a damsel, a damsel...

Who is he that I am crazy about?

Is he here, my darling?

Is it you? Is it you? In who's eyes I've drowned...

I'm a damsel, a damsel...

He who values my life the most will be the one who can take it.

Is it you? Is it you? In who's eyes I've drowned...

I'm a damsel, a damsel...

It's a woman who will destroy you. Be warned.

See with your own eyes what goes on.

You men will turn against you.

Stop them. Else, you are ruined.

Either you say that, whom should I give a chance, or I say whom do I want?

Is it you? Is it you? In who's eyes I've drowned...

I'm a damsel, a damsel...

So many lust after me, of all of them who should I make my lover?

I'm a damsel, a damsel...

If you do this ever again, I'll cut your throat.

Fatima! Speak, my child. What have the devils done to you?

I knew it. I knew those mongrels would rape you someday.

Not yet. But I'll kill myself before that happens. I have decided that.

What is it Baba? What are you thinking about?

There is only one way out.

Keep this letter. Promise me you'll open it after you're out of here.

But Baba... - Give me your promise, my child.

If that's what you want Baba, I promise.

Fatima! My child!

You mustn't mind this, Shamsher. Now I happen to like you.

But my daughter Morgiana doesn't want to marry you.

And I won't force her into anything she doesn't wish.

Think it over once again, Your Majesty, lest...

What do you mean? - That...

Your Majesty, there seems to be a corpse lying over there.

Look into it.

Let it be. It's food for the vultures.

He could be alive.

Forgive me for saying this. Mercy is a weakness.

Maybe, for those who are my enemies. My friends do not think so.

He's alive. Breathing.

Hear that? I was right.

Your Majesty, it's rare for a king to be mistaken.

For if kings were to make mistakes, kings they wouldn't be.

Any chance he will survive? - He will. But it'll take time.

He must have been in the water for a long time.

Where did this pigeon come from? - It was with him. A carrier pigeon.

A carrier pigeon?

Then let the pigeon carry a message. Write that he is my guest.

-But he is very weak and he is ill. He cannot travel on his own.-

-The Badshah wants someone from his family to escort him home.-

Thank The Lord for keeping him alive!

Qasim... - Yes, Amma?

You will set out at once to bring your father home.

I?

Who else?

I would've gone, Amma.

But there should be someone to look after my shop.

Your shop means more to you than your father?

Let him take care of his shop. I'll go and get Baba.

Bless you. Go at once.

But how am I to recognize Baba?

This ring is an heirloom. Your Baba wears one just like this.

Six days. If aren't back here before sunset on the sixth day... with...

with the gunpowder and accessories...

guess what will happen? Your Baba will be killed.

-Fatima, my child: I am responsible for whatever is happening to you.-

-You are forced to serve these devils to make sure they keep me alive.-

-Now no one can stop you from escaping to freedom.-

-By the time you've read this letter, I will have killed myself.-

-Forgive me, my child. God bless you with a long life.-

-Goodbye.-

No!

Abu Hassan, I shall avenge my father's death.

What are you thinking about? Your next move? Or something else?

There's still no reply from Blossoming Gardens.

If you would kindly let me, Your Majesty, I'd leave directly.

Wait for a day or two. If no one comes by then...

I'll have you escorted back to Blossoming Gardens.

You are kind, Your Majesty.

Your move.

Check.

A revolt!

Your Majesty! There's a revolt!

Your Majesty...

At your service my Lord.

You?

If kings were to make mistakes, kings they wouldn't be.

Guards! Attack!

Yusuf, come with me.

Morgiana is in danger. Take care of her, please.

Hurry!

So the crown is mine.

But I could spare your life, if you gave your daughter in marriage to me.

Never!

Never?

Never! Bring me Princess Morgiana.

These people are after my life! Please help me!

Come on.

After them!

You aren't hurt, are you?

Go on. I'll hold them.

How is my father?

He was...

What happened to him?

Don't cry, my child. Only the weak cry.

We must get out of here as soon as we can.

Come, we must find a place to hide.

Find her.

Put the armies on the hunt.

Announce a reward.

I must have her. - Yes, Your Majesty.

And find the man who helped Morgiana escape.

Your Majesty, I bear the letter you sent me.

I never write any letters. Penmanship isn't my calling.

I only know how to wield a sword.

Want to see?

There's more to statesmanship than saber rattling, my Lord.

Maybe you could learn the way of the words.

This is insolence! Who are you?

I'm here to take my father back home. His name is Yusuf Merchant.

Your father isn't in this world anymore. He might be up there.

Throw him out.

Is my father dead?

Stop asking me questions. I'm not a Prelector. I'm the Badshah.

Throw this insolent fellow out. Out!

Lord! Please! Please listen to me!

Don't you ever show your face here.

You must be knowing Yusuf Merchant, right? He's my father.

He was the Badshah's guest. Is he really dead?

Shamsher has killed everyone who was close to the last Badshah.

You spy! I'll send you to your death!

Baba! What are you doing? He saved my life.

He did?

Then why was he coming in like a thief?

Did you expect me to come with trumpets blaring?

Everyone in the city is looking for your daughter.

My mistake. I took you for a spy.

Forgive me, son. - Please don't embarrass me.

If you're her father, you're old enough to be my father too.

She isn't my daughter. She's the princess.

But as of now, she's in my care.

It's dangerous for you here. You must leave as soon as you can.

You are right, son. Keep her company till I return. Don't venture out.

I'll arrange for horses. We leave at nightfall.

Listen. The soldiers are everywhere. They might recognize you.

It could be dangerous for you. I'll arrange for horses.

Allah sends us an angel.

Who is he? - I don't even know his name.

Leave me!

What happened? Where's Morgiana?

They took her.

Morgiana, if you knew my heart, if you knew how much I love you!

I hate you.

Then you'll love me after you've become my Queen.

Never!

Become the Queen you must! For what would the people say?

They will say that I did all this murder and mayhem to grab the crown.

My love for you will be tainted, Morgiana.

I'd rather kill myself!

Not before I've stripped you in public.

I'll make you dance before the men who used to be your subjects.

You cur! Your fed on the scraps my father threw at you!

When the thong bites into the skin the toughest will do the dance!

Wait!

Tarry a while, Your Majesty!

To make a beautiful girl dance, you do not need a whip.

What you need is a wicked plot!

Understood?

She doesn't. But she will. She will, Your Majesty, she will.

Who are you? How dare you enter without permission?

You do not know me, Your Majesty?

I am the greatest of magicians! I am the greatest of wizards!

There's a dove!

There goes the one bird in the hand!

Can you bring this woman around?

My magic has the power! I nod at her, and she wags her tail!

One wink at her, and she comes into my arms.

And try as much as she might, she will not escape my clutches!

Just give me your word, Your Majesty. She will dance.

The magician will do such a trick that no one will believe it!

Don't pout my trick, just dance for us, or else...

The magician will do such a trick that no one will believe it!

Don't pout my trick, just dance for us, or else...

The magician will do such a trick that no one will believe it!

Your lover will dance and the whole world will see

I control all the elements, from water to fire!

Your lover will dance and the whole world will see

I control all the elements, from water to fire!

Come on my little dancer take these anklets, just look at them and see...

The magician will do such a trick that no one will believe it!

Now I believe in you. You are a crazy magician

The way you turned me on the whole world is amazed.

Now I believe in you. You are one crazy magician

The way you turned me on the whole world is amazed.

The magician will do such a trick that no one will believe it!

It was a blessing of fate that you had made me your trick

Just quietly dance till I say so.

It was a blessing of fate that you had made me your trick

Just quietly dance till I say so.

My head is at your feet, with you around I fear no one, come what may.

The magician will do such a trick that no one will believe it!

Don't pout my trick, just dance for us, or else...

The magician will do such a trick that no one will believe it!

Come on Morgiana.

They mustn't escape!

Soldiers!

There's a caravan travelling to Blossoming Gardens. Join the caravan.

I'll join you after I've dealt with the soldiers.

No. You and Morgiana join the caravan. I'll take care of the soldiers.

You don't know the lay of the land. You will get lost.

Hurry. Join the caravan.

Take care.

One Dinar. Out with it.

If you can't pay for the water, pray for it to rain.

Look up at the sky, and don't you forget to keep your mouth wide open.

Give me a fill. Hurry. - Right away.

Want a drink of water, Bano?

You surely remember the day when you bought the bladders from me?

So many others would have bought bladders from you.

But they use the bladders to carry water.

Bladders aren't meant to be filled with gunpowder to kill innocents.

What gunpowder?

You liar!

You are the one who blew up the dam.

You are the one who is forcing to buy water.

You must be the one who gives them the news!

I will hand you over to the police!

No! Don't! I am a victim of Abu Hassan.

He is responsible for my father's death.

Is that true?

Yes. Oh how do I convince you? I am not his accomplice.

I was his prisoner.

I was forced to obey him. He held my father in a dungeon.

Dungeon... Abu Hassan's?

Do you know the way?

If you show me the way, you are free.

I know the area. But you will have to find the entrance.

We will go immediately. - No. Only after 6 days.

The bandits will come for me after six days.

I hear the place is filled with riches?

For yours to keep.

All I want is Abu Hassan.

I want him dead!

You must be the one!

A soothsayer once told me that my fortunes will change the day...

when the most beautiful of women walks into my life!

You must be the one! Come, bring me luck!

A soothsayer once told me...

What?

That I'd meet a moron someday. This must be the day.

Where are you sending the message? - To Blossoming Gardens.

What have you written?

I have asked them to be ready to welcome a bride.

I have asked for the roads to be strewn with flowers...

and for the trees to be lit up in the evening.

And when the princess...

When the princess enters the city...

she be welcomed with the light of many moons.

Whose pigeon?

There is only one man in the caravan who is carrying pigeons.

There he is.

Your line of fortune is very bold. You will find a treasure.

Treasure?

What bigger treasure will I ever find?

I regret I have killed your pigeon.

You fool! I was sending a message home.

Your message will not reach the bandits.

What do you mean? - I'll tell you.

Tie him up.

Let him go! He's innocent.

If you want him to live, just marry me.

Marry me.

Say yes.

Insolence!

Fire!

Help!

Get me out of here!

Fraud!

Swine! Fight me if you're man enough!

You dare strike me?!

Swine!

Yusuf! How dare you strike my man?

This is my caravan. And he's a spy for the bandits.

He doesn't get a drop of water. - I can vouch for him.

And I know you too. You're a thief. He isn't.

Let's see you stop me.

Beware!

Drop the dagger.

Well done, my child.

Where did you find this ring?

My mother gave it to me.

It's a mark of my dead father.

What's your name?

Ali. Ali bin Yusuf. (Ali, the son of Yusuf)

Don't you recognize me?

I'm your father! I'm Yusuf!

Baba! You're alive!

My son!

Where's your ring? - Abu Hassan looted us on the dam.

No one moves!

Embrace your son, Yusuf.

You and your son go to hell. And Morgiana becomes mine.

Bandits!

Run away! I have to fight.

No! I'm not leaving you! - Don't be adamant.

Go away. - But you?

Run!

Scoundrel! Leave me!

Let go!

Go home. Take Morgiana with you. Go to Blossoming Gardens.

You're going to be all right, Baba.

We'll go home together.

What happened to him?

What happened?

Abu Hassan attacked us.

I'll go and fetch the medicine man.

No. Don't leave me now. This is my last hour.

Let me see all of you before I die. - No! Don't say that!

Get water Hurry.

Not a drop of water here.

Go to the bazaar. Buy the water.

Is water being sold in my Blossoming Gardens? Allah!

Here you are. Rush home.

Baba, drink some water.

Take a drink, Baba.

No. I'd rather die thirsting than drink water that has been bought.

Just one drink, Baba.

For my sake!

Don't spare Abu Hassan. For my sake.

You will avenge my death.

And you will build the dam once again.

Yes, Baba. I will build the dam.

Princess Morgiana was left to me by my friend.

Promise me, you will find her.

Goodbye.

The Badshah of Bahrestan had this beautiful crown crafted...

for his successor. And to the successor the crown has come.

Abu Hassan is the Badshah of Bahrestan

To Badshah Abu Hassan... - Glory be!

Glory to the Badshah of Bahrestan!

Glory be!

Now you should stake your claim to the throne.

Yes, you should.

What are you waiting for? Proclaim it.

No.

It will never be.

Abu Hassan

Abu Hassan will never become the Badshah.

Friends...

It takes power to wrest a kingdom. Wealth begets power.

That power we would never have had as long as I was merely a Qazi.

That is why...

Abu Hassan was born.

But a Badshah, I will become in my own stead.

As the Qazi of Blossoming Gardens.

Long live

Long live the Qazi of Blossoming Gardens!

Long live the Qazi of Blossoming Gardens!

What if they don't come? - They will. This is the sixth day.

They are coming!

Abu Hassan, I know that my father has committed suicide.

Still, I am leaving this gunpowder for you.

I hope you will give my father a decent burial.

Don't try to find me: Fatima.

The bird has flown.

Let's take the horse back. We must inform Abu Hassan.

Abu Hassan and his men won't survive the blast.

The fire is spreading too fast. I hope it doesn't get them...

before they have reached the cave.

What do we do now?

We have to work out a ploy to set them after us.

Why?

If we can capture even one of them, finding the route won't be difficult.

Friends...

The first day of the New Year is a happy day for all of us.

Were the dam to have been built, this would be a happy day indeed.

Worse, Abu Hassan is still alive.

But, there is good news. For today, water is free.

A man gets only as much water as he can drink.

Why are you giving water free?

The war for the throne of Bahrestan draws near. I need support.

You can take only as much water as you can carry.

Let me help you, my sister.

No! But you are the Qazi! How can you carry my burden?

Why not?

The ruler bears all the burdens. This is just a bladder of water.

If only I could carry all the bladders...

for the people of Blossoming Gardens.

To the Qazi of Blossoming Gardens... - Glory be!

Where is your house?

Alibaba, your mother...

My son, Alibaba.

But my Lord, this is the job of a porter!

I have these many faces... a brother to a woman, a father to an orphan...

a servant of Allah, and a ruler of men.

May The Lord preserve you.

Water my horse.

He's coming. Be ready.

I'm ready.

Where is Abu Hassan? Tell me!

I myself am looking for him.

Did you go to the well looking for him?

It was a ploy. To lure him.

Tell that to the Qazi.

Just wait for a while. You'll come to know.

Sure.

Help me!

We should get out of here.

If the bandits find us, they will kill us.

If Alibaba finds you, he will take you to the Qazi.

If Alibaba isn't convinced, he'll keep coming in our way.

Don't worry about Alibaba. I'll talk him out of it.

Qasim...

What is it?

That girl gave me the slip.

Which girl?

Morgiana? - Not Morgiana.

The girl who bought the bladders from you... Abu Hassan's accomplice.

Gave you the slip? - Yes. I had got her.

But her men engaged me. And she escaped.

Forget her. You'd rather find Morgiana.

Go on. Raise the bids.

Is there no one in Blossoming Gardens who can afford a gem like this one?

Rescue me! My dearest, today your love is being sold on the streets.

Rejection and Acceptance are both being sold

Rescue me! My dearest, today your love is being sold on the streets.

Rejection and Acceptance are both being sold

Tradition and faithfulness are being destroyed.

A young woman is stripped down and being auctioned on the road

I'm being sold off while they all gaze at me!

Rescue me! My dearest, today your love is being sold on the streets.

Rejection and Acceptance are both being sold

The world is putting a price to my faith This young woman is shedding tears

The garland of love is being sold.

Rescue me! My dearest, today your love is being sold on the streets.

Rejection and Acceptance are both being sold

Rescue me! My dearest, today your love is being sold on the streets.

If you touch my slave, I'll break your arm!

If you call Morgiana a slave, I'll pull your tongue out!

This isn't your caravan. You aren't calling the shots here.

I caught her when I went across the border.

According to our laws, she's a slave.

I can do whatever I wish. She's mine. By the law.

I'll teach you what the law is!

If he caught her, she's his slave. That's the law.

How much?

900 Dinars

I'll give you a thousand.

Amma, I've found Morgiana.

Where is she?

She was being sold in the slave market.

I need 1000 Dinars for her. - Qasim will give you the money.

1000 Dinars is a lot of money.

This is a matter of my prestige.

Prestige?

Whose prestige?

A man who has wealth to his name, is a man of prestige.

What are you saying Qasim?

Whatever there is in this house, belongs to both of you.

Very well.

Let me see how much I can lay my hands on.

Qasim never said anything like that before.

Don't you worry. Qasim will give you the money.

Here are your 1000 Dinars.

But I'll give it to you on one condition.

All right. I accept.

Think it over well before you say yes.

I've thought it over. - Sign this paper, then.

It says that you've sold your share in our property for 1000 Dinars.

You father has just been buried. And you're robbing...

your brother already? - Not my fault, Amma.

It's a matter of give and take.

I have decided.

There's another condition. - Accepted.

Morgiana doesn't enter this house.

You robbed your brother blind. Now you want to throw him...

out of the house? Aren't you ashamed?

This house isn't mine anymore. I won't bring Morgiana here.

And I'll return your 1000 Dinars. Consider all this my parting gift.

Goodbye.

Don't leave me, son! - I'll take you with me, Amma.

Ali, wait.

I'm coming with you.

Amma!

Your mother is dead!

Not the right thing to do, Qasim.

After all, Alibaba is your brother.

Not your enemy.

I want that wealth. And you're the one who can give it to me. Not my brother.

Come home with me. You can hide in my house.

God bless you. I have found the daughter I never had.

And I have found a mother.

But I thought she was going to be your bride.

Marry in haste, or you will regret in leisure.

All in good time.

Before the dam has been built, I may enjoy none of the pleasures of life.

By the time you have saved up enough to build the dam...

you will have become a doddering old man.

You'll become that old man.

I can achieve anything.

I am strong.

And no matter if I have to cut timber for a living.

Where are you going?

Stop!

You won't find a husband waiting for you over there!

Stop!

You fool! Stop!

Stop, darling. Stop!
