Walt Disney presents

From Frontierland:

Zorro

The Postponed Wedding.

Starring: Guy Williams

Guest star: Anette Funichello

Can you hold this?

( dramatic theme playing)

I was only testing your love.

(screams)

( Spanish theme playing)

(women laughing)

Good morning.

(giggles)

(both giggle)

Pardon, señor.

Buenos días, señores.

Can you tell me...? DIEGO: Pardon me, Carita.

Buenos días, Don Diego. Buenos días, Carita.

Can you tell me whether the coach from Santa Clara

has been arriving on time lately?

You can set your watch by it.

Never more than an hour late.

(both laugh) Gracias.

Oh, that's Cuca.

Ohh!

Forgive me, señores.

Now may I serve you? Wine.

Certainly.

Didn't one of you ask a question?

You've answered it.

We'll need a room.

We have to clean up.

Yes, and the room first.

This way, please.

( soft theme playing)

( passionate theme playing)

Hiyah! Hiyah!

Diego.

Constancia.

Mm-hm.

CONSTANCIA: That's right.

It's so good to see you. What's it been, ten years?

It's been a very good ten years for you.

Thank you. You've aged rather well yourself.

CONSTANCIA: Oh, for me?

Thank you.

I'll treasure this always.

Carry it for me, will you, Diego?

( cheerful theme playing)

Now, the carriage is over there.

If you'll show Bernardo your luggage,

he'll take care of it.

( mysterious theme playing)

Did you see something?

No.

No, I'm just tired from the ride.

Could I rest a bit in the tavern?

Of course.

Oh, excuse me.

Come.

Hey, driver. There was a young señorita

supposed to come in on the coach, have you...?

Constancia?

(gasps)

Uncle Demetrio!

Oh, it is so good to see you again.

(both laugh)

Don Diego, what has happened to our little girl?

Don't complain about it, sergeant.

Oh, I'm not, Don Diego. I'm not.

Uncle Demetrio.

I was, uh, just inspecting the kitchen.

Sergeant, we were just going into the tavern.

Won't you join us? Gracias, Don Diego.

Just as soon as I have inspected the luggage.

Are you going to open my luggage?

It is the law.

But you can't. I am afraid I must.

The law says I must search for criminals and contraband.

It is a mere formality.

But I...

(whispering) But I'd be embarrassed.

You and Diego knew me as a little girl,

and now, well...

(chuckles)

DIEGO: Sergeant,

Constancia is staying with us at the hacienda.

Why don't you join us there for supper tonight

and, uh, then you can study her for criminal tendencies.

That should satisfy the law, eh?

Oh, sí, Don Diego.

All right, let's go.

Oh, Don Diego.

Excuse me, Constancia.

Isn't Constancia still a little young

to be going into the tavern?

She just wants to rest before her ride to the hacienda.

Oh. Ohh!

Then there will not be any...?

No, sergeant, I'm afraid there will not be any:

Oh. Well, truthfully, Don Diego,

I should finish my inspection.

I understand perfectly, sergeant.

Then tonight. Sí, Don Diego.

( cheerful theme playing)

Well, the sergeant just remembered he had other duties,

but, uh, he'll join us for supper. Shall we?

( soft theme playing)

Oh, dear, my handkerchief.

I must have left it in the coach.

I'll go see.

Miguel.

Constancia, my darling.

I didn't expect you to be here when I arrived.

I left as soon as I got your note.

I made all the arrangements. We can be married right away.

Oh, that's just it.

Father wrote Uncle Alejandro that I was coming to visit him,

so I at least have to go to the hacienda to see him.

All right, very well.

All right, listen.

I'll pick you up at midnight,

and don't forget to leave a lantern burning in the window.

(door closes)

You are certainly looking well.

(chuckles)

Diego, the most wonderful thing.

Diego de la Vega, this is Miguel Serrano.

Señor.

Miguel and I are old friends.

I looked up and...

there he was.

(chuckles)

Oh, then are you from Santa Clara?

No. Yes.

MIGUEL: Uh... Well, I mean my home

was in Santa Clara,

but for the last year I've been living in San Diego.

I see. Won't you join us?

Gracias.

Constancia, I'm sorry,

but I couldn't find your handkerchief.

Oh, I did.

I had it all the time. Wasn't that silly?

(Miguel chuckles)

If, uh, you live in San Diego, señor,

then you must know my good friend Don Pablo Castillo.

Well, everyone does.

Oh, of course, I know him quite well.

Well, tell me, uh,

does he still have that trouble with his arm?

With his arm?

Well... Excuse me, Miguel.

Diego, I'm afraid if we don't leave

for the hacienda soon,

Uncle Alejandro will begin to worry.

Yes, uh, he is expecting us, isn't he?

You're visiting a relative?

No, I just call him uncle.

Actually, Don Alejandro is a boyhood friend of my father's.

Ahh.

Well, I do wish we had more time to talk.

It's been so long since we've seen each other.

Yes, it has.

Perhaps we shall meet again,

someday.

I hope so.

Goodbye, Miguel.

( soft theme playing)

Goodbye, Constancia.

Please, both of you,

you're breaking my heart.

Señor, it would be our pleasure to have you to supper tonight.

Gracias, no, Don Diego.

I wouldn't want to intrude, señor.

CONSTANCIA: Miguel.

Well, perhaps after supper.

All right, I will.

Good. Until then.

(all laugh)

You're a wonderful dancer, Uncle Demetrio.

Isn't he, Diego?

Well, I'll just say that the sergeant

certainly amazes me.

Gracias, Don Diego.

That the floor is still beneath us amazes me.

(both laugh)

(clock ringing)

Eight o'clock.

I'm sorry, but I have to go.

Forgive me, Constancia,

but I must inspect the carriage to Santa Barbara.

Oh, poo.

Now, you are not to keep the sergeant from doing his duty.

You wouldn't want Los Angeles run by criminals, would you?

Oh, all right. I'll walk you to your horse, Uncle Demetrio.

Good.

Oh, uh...

Good night, Don Diego, Don Alejandro.

Good night, sergeant.

Uncle Demetrio.

Bah! (chuckles)

You know, anyone who overheard Constancia talking

about her Uncle Demetrio and Uncle Alejandro

might possibly think that you and Sergeant Garcia

were brothers.

Not by the wildest stretch of the imagination.

CONSTANCIA: He's here.

He's here.

Oh, you will be nice to him, won't you, Uncle Alejandro?

What is this, Constancia, a romance?

No, he's just a friend.

Whom she hasn't seen in a long time.

(knocking on door)

Miguel, I'm so glad you're here.

Don Alejandro, may I present Miguel Serrano.

It's a pleasure, señor.

My house is yours, Señor Serrano.

I believe you know my son, Diego.

Yes, we have met. We have met.

Uh, will you not sit down, Señor Serrano?

Thank you.

Lovely weather we've been having.

For this time of year.

(chuckles) Yes.

(clears throat)

You have a beautiful hacienda, Don Alejandro.

DIEGO: Have you, uh...

Have you seen the patio?

Only to walk through it.

CONSTANCIA: It's lovely.

Let me show it to you. Yes.

Uh, Constancia.

We will all show it you.

I am certain you will understand, señor.

Constancia's father has placed her in my care

while she's in Los Angeles.

Oh, Uncle Alejandro...

I understand perfectly, Don Alejandro.

It is a little chilly out.

I think you will need your shawl, Constancia.

I locked my door.

Force of habit, I guess.

( cheerful theme playing)

(grunts)

(lock clicks)

It wasn't necessary to run.

Thank you. Here, I'll do that.

There, my dear.

There you are.

Uncle Alejandro. In a moment.

What's the matter?

Have you been going through Constancia's belongings?

But this is inexcusable. One moment, Father.

Constancia is our guest.

I think she may be involved in something.

What?

Perhaps we'll find the answer here.

Well. ALEJANDRO: What is it?

ALEJANDRO: "For Constancia de la Torre, on the day of her wedding.

With love, Grandmother."

This is her dowry. So it would seem.

Then she is planning to elope with this Miguel...

What is his name?

Well, I will put a stop to that right now.

Wait.

You mean I should stand idly by

and watch Constancia ruin her life? No, thank you.

You're not going to solve a thing

by rushing out there and shouting at her.

I do not shout!

I shall merely ask the young man to leave this hacienda.

And just how do you propose to explain

the fact that you know about the elopement.

Ah, I see what you mean.

Well, we have to do something to stop this for her own good.

How do we know that it's for her own good?

This Serrano seems to be all right.

Then why haven't they have her father's permission?

Why are they sneaking away? Sounds like fun.

Diego, this is serious. It isn't yet.

And if we can go on postponing the elopement, it may never be.

And how do we go about this postponing?

We don't.

(laughs)

(swishing)

(both laugh)

( soft theme playing)

Up there.

Constancia.

Shh.

We'll have to go into the hacienda

and upstairs to get her.

What's the matter? Shh. There's someone in there.

Look, we'll have to get a ladder.

There's one in there.

(door opens)

Come on. Hurry up. It's stuck.

(grunts)

All right. Come on.

(screaming)

(indistinct chatter)

It's too short. We could never get her down on this ladder.

There's a box.

We can bring it over and stand the ladder on it.

Yeah.

(ducks quacking)

(barks)

What is going on there?

ALEJANDRO: Manuel!

Vaquero!

MAN: Zorro.

ALEJANDRO: Somebody answer me!

Manuel! What is going on there?

(yelling in Spanish)

(birds chirping)

( soft theme playing)

Gracias.

Uh, where are you going, Diego? I'm going to Los Angeles.

Oh, I may be gone for a little while.

I'm, uh, I'm curious about this friend of Miguel Serrano.

He never seems to mention him.

Uh, wait a moment and you can take this letter with you.

All right.

I am writing to Constancia's father.

Do you think you should do that?

I think he is entitled to know

that his daughter plans to elope with a scoundrel.

Normally, I'd agree with you.

But, remember,

we're not supposed to know that Constancia is planning to elope.

And in the second place,

we have no evidence that Miguel Serrano is a scoundrel.

Evidence? You have only to look at him.

Constancia did, and she fell in love.

Love. Ha!

Well, that's what she thinks it is.

Now, for the time being, Zorro is the only one

that knows anything about the elopement.

Let's keep it that way until we can learn more about Serrano.

While we are doing this,

what is to prevent them from sneaking off?

Well, Zorro did postpone the wedding last night, eh?

Yes. All right.

ALEJANDRO: I still cannot understand how she managed to sleep.

Good morning, Constancia. Morning.

Diego, will you tell Bernardo I'd like a horse?

Why? Are you going riding?

No. I'm baking a cake and the recipe calls for a horse.

Well, might I suggest you try a palomino?

It... It would add that little extra something.

Never mind. I'll tell him myself.

( dramatic theme playing)

No, no, a horse.

I asked for one horse. Well, I'll go with you.

I'm only going to Los Angeles,

and I'm not a little child that must be led by the hand.

Now, just a minute, young lady.

You are certainly acting like a child.

You storm into the sala

without so much as a civil word to anyone

and expect everyone to jump when you speak.

You're not so grown-up that I cannot take you over my knee.

I'm sorry, Uncle Alejandro. You should be.

If there's one thing I will not tolerate in this hacienda,

it is the display of temper.

If you cannot learn to control yourself, no matter the reason...

People will think you're a De la Vega.

What?

Yes. Exactly.

My dear,

you can see how ridiculous anyone looks

who cannot control his emotions.

Yes, Uncle Alejandro.

I hope you enjoy your ride.

(grunts)

I love him. He sounds just like Papa.

You feeling better? Yes.

Can you tell me what's upsetting you?

I'd rather not, at least until I get back from Los Angeles.

All right. I'll see what's keeping the horses.

Diego, please, let me go alone.

This is something private.

Constancia, I really have to see Sergeant Garcia.

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

We'll both ride in together,

and when we get there, I'll pretend I never saw you before.

All right? All right.

Why if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I wouldn't believe it.

My own father. What are you doing?

I was merely making certain

that Constancia's dowry was still here. It, uh, it is.

Were you perhaps thinking of moving it?

I was. I'm convinced

that if something were to happen to this money,

Constancia will find herself without a suitor.

And, uh, we would find ourselves with a heartbroken house guest.

She would recover.

True, but I think it would be more pleasant

for everyone concerned if Constancia broke it off.

And how do you propose this miracle?

I don't know.

Perhaps Miguel Serrano will think of something.

Constancia.

Miguel.

Where were you last night? Shh.

Don't shush me. Where were you?

Come outside. No.

I can explain everything.

I'm not interested in explanations.

Just tell me why you didn't come for me?

I did. Ha!

I did. But Zorro attacked me.

Zorro? Were you hurt? No.

But I almost lost you.

Oh, that Zorro.

I'm gonna speak to Uncle Demetrio about him.

Wait. There isn't time.

Constancia, can you come away with me right now?

Right this minute?

Yes, I have made all the arrangements.

Tonight we'll be married aboard ship,

and on tomorrow's tide, we sail for Mexico.

Miguel, how romantic.

But we'd better hurry. Diego has just gone to the stables.

I have a carriage waiting.

We don't want a carriage.

We can travel faster on horseback.

But you'll need your things.

You don't wanna get married in a riding habit.

Oh, no. I'll throw a dress into a saddlebag.

Oh, wait. Wait.

I'll go with you. You'll need your dowry.

But it's too heavy, we can get it later.

No, we'll need it now.

Why?

Well, I didn't tell you but... But when Zorro attacked me,

he robbed me of every peso I had.

Oh! How terrible for you.

Good morning.

Good morning, Don Diego.

I hope I'm not intruding.

Oh, no.

Something wrong? No, no, no, it's nothing.

Don't say that. You could have been killed.

Zorro attacked Miguel and robbed him.

He did? Yes.

DIEGO: You know, that's a strange coincidence.

But, uh, last night, the hacienda had prowlers

and I could have sworn

I heard one of them shout the name Zorro.

CONSTANCIA: Prowlers?

Didn't you hear anything?

No, I was asleep.

Bernardo gave me some warm milk before I went to my room.

They made quite a racket. Apparently they were,

I don't know, trying to steal geese.

Oh.

And, uh, this morning, under my father's window

I found a ladder and part of a wagon.

But, uh...

getting back to you, señor.

What did Sergeant Garcia say?

Uh... Sergeant Garcia?

Well, surely you told him.

No.

It's your duty as a citizen

to report everything that happened to Sergeant Garcia.

You might furnish him with the very clue

that will lead to the capture of Zorro.

Constancia and I were riding into Los Angeles.

You can join us.

No, Diego, uh... It's a long ride out here

and Miguel's horse must be tired.

You go ahead and we'll follow later.

Oh, no, we can't spare the time.

At this very moment, Zorro may be planning a new crime.

I'll get you a horse. But...

What will we do? We have to go with him.

When we get a chance, we'll get away.

( dramatic theme playing)

Well, aren't you going to see Uncle Demetrio?

Uh, this is the hour that the sergeant

usually inspects the tavern.

Oh. Well, what time is it?

I haven't the slightest idea.

( dramatic theme playing)

I thought it was someone I knew.

Don Diego. Buenos días, Constancia.

Hello, Uncle Demetrio.

Sergeant, you're just the man I want to see.

GARCIA: Really?

Now, would you step this way, please?

DIEGO: Señor Serrano was robbed by Zorro last night.

Zorro?

Look, take him inside, he'll tell you all about it,

and put it on my bill, huh?

Gracias, Don Diego. I mean...

Come inside, Señor Serrano. I must have a full report.

(laughs)

Señor!

Señor?

(guitar theme playing)

(chatter)

(sighs)

Uh, tell me your story again. In a moment.

Carita. One more, please.

Now there, señor.

Excuse me.

No, no, you stay here with the sergeant.

I see a friend who may have some information for me.

About Zorro? Possibly.

Ah.

Gracias.

Sergeant Garcia, Don Diego wants to see you.

Ah.

Immediately.

Ansar will take you to him.

(exhales)

Excuse me, Constancia.

Uh, don't...

Oh, no, you wouldn't, I...

( dramatic theme playing)

Where is he? Right over there.

(Diego groans)

(thud)

( dramatic theme playing)

(groans)

(moans)

Oh, gracias, Don Diego. W-What is happening?

That's a long story, sergeant.

Does it have anything to do with Zorro attacking Señor Serrano?

It's going to. Ah.

Now, sergeant, you can take care of that.

Ah, sí.

Don Diego, wait. I... I can't reach my...

( comic theme playing)

Help! Somebody, help!

( dramatic theme playing)

( heroic theme playing)

(whinnies)

( dramatic theme playing)

Everything's all arranged.

We'll go this way.

Give a hand with the luggage, will you?

MAN: Sí, Señor Serrano.

Well, isn't it wonderful?

But this ship's deserted.

Well, almost.

The captain and the crew are having a night ashore

and the other passengers aren't allowed onboard until morning.

But we have special privileges.

We're special people.

(stomp)

Um. Put them over there.

Sí, señor.

Now, darling, you wait here.

I'll row ashore and get the padre,

and before you know it, you'll be Señora Miguel Serrano.

Well, that sounds wonderful.

Now, when I do not return in an hour or so,

she's going to be very unhappy.

You know what to do? Sí. We are very sympathetic.

But since there is no boat to take her to shore,

she will just have to cry

until the capitán comes onboard in the morning.

SERRANO: And by then, Ansar and I will be far away in Mexico.

Goodbye, señores.

It's been a profitable evening for all of us.

Miguel.

( dramatic theme playing)

Constancia, darling.

I came up to tell you you'd forgotten my dowry.

But I can see now you didn't. Not for a minute.

I'm sorry, Constancia.

You were just after my money. My father was right.

You'll find as you grow up that they usually are.

I know mine was when he told me I was no good.

Didn't you love me? Even a little?

You know I did.

A little. Anyway,

thank you very much for not marrying me.

I couldn't. I'm already married.

Goodbye, Constancia.

Miguel.

That was for your wife. Poor woman.

Wait a minute. You can't leave her here now.

She knows we're in on this. She will tell the capitán.

That is your problem. Throw her overboard.

One moment, señores.

Zorro.

I don't think you should ask the señorita to swim.

The night air is too chilly.

( dramatic theme playing)

(groans)

(grunts)

(screams)

Uh!

Eh! Uh!

Eh!

Eh! Uh!

Zorro!

Señorita.

Can you hold this?

Constancia.

Beloved.

Angel. Constancia.

I-It was... It was only a joke.

Please believe me. Uh.

I... I was only testing your love.

SERRANO: Beloved.

Constancia, you... You wouldn't.

You know you love me.

(screams)

Beloved.

(laughs)

Uncle Alejandro, I'm sorry I caused you so much worry.

I have been very well repaid, Constancia.

Diego, I have learned my lesson.

I'm gonna wait for someone as handsome and as nice as you are.

Adios, everybody.

(shouts in Spanish)

Hyah!

She's going to be all right.

Yes, I suppose we'll have to send that to her

in another coach.

I think it will be safer.

(both laugh)

( triumphant theme playing)
