The King and I (1956) Edit

A brick residence

A brick residence adjoining royal palace...

A charm from the skies

A face. It speaks.

A few of my wives.

A girl must be like a blossom

A honeybee must be free,

A house.

A house.

A land where there is a wish for Siam

A letter? Now?

A man is designed to be pleased by many women.

A man must live like honeybee

A man's house is only less dear to him than his honor.

A mer i ca.

A new map just arrived from England.

A promise!

A sad heart that no longer wishes to go on beating?

A thought for the day:

A white waistcoat...

A woman has written a book?

A woman is designed for pleasing man. That is all.

Abrahom Lingkong...

According to agreement,

According to agreement...

Adjoining royal palace

Afraid to be heard;

After all, she had no choice in the matter.

Against bowing to king...

Ahhhh!

All I want is a few minutes' audience with him.

All my good wishes go with you tonight.

All of my mem'ries

All of whom are loving you so extraordinarily?

All properly dressed English ladies always wear undergarments.

All right, children, you may be seated now.

All subjects do so.

All who fight him.

All women shall help.

Alone in our secret,

Already I have bring printing press here for printing.

Also spoons. Why do you not think of spoons?

Also, I will allow you to help me in my foreign correspondence.

Always manage to arrive at same conclusion.

Am I to be cuckold in my own palace, to take orders from English teacher?

Am leaving.

An Englishwoman alone in a country like Siam.

An inspired idea, Your Majesty.

And a house of my own outside the palace walls.

And all are in great affliction...

And also because if he dies, I shall be king.

And blossoms.

And by the enforcing of that law, if necessary.

And by the time a young girl goes to her first dance...

And chin high, like this.

And educate them in European customs and manner for presentation.

And educated himself.

And Eliza make happy reunion with dear old Uncle Thomas...

And ev'ry single time

And fears him.

And follow your star,

And for this I have often lost my temper on you.

And gather all he can.

And go to arms of Buddha.

And he will most certainly send a glowing report to Queen Victoria.

And he will not bring up subject. You must do it for him.

And help and protect,

And help us to prove to the visiting English

And help us to prove to the visiting English

And honorable guests...

And I always will.

And I am strong, do you hear?

And I do not believe such thing as snow.

And I do not know how to be.

And I know Tom and I

And I've now become an expert,

And in this country no one's head shall be higher than king's.

And inhabitants of America shall be able to catch and tame them

And it puzzle me to learn

And large respect, et cetera, et cetera.

And lead us in right road.

And me.

And much more difficult than generality.

And no one ever knows I'm afraid

And now, doctors have no hope for him.

And one, two, three, and...

And other country so big.

And say to the sky:

And shall you be my new romance?

And shall you be my new romance?

And she in turn shall teach you the better English.

And Siam to be governed in my way!

And so he'll get your love.

And so she die...

And start on her escape.

And suggest necessity of making Siam a protectorate.

And tell him when he's strong,

And that's enough

And the king has promised me a house of my own.

And the sky was streaked with white

And the slaves of my father...

And the soft mist of England

And therefore unworthy of your interest.

And they refused to believe there is such a thing.

And they're all a part of Tom

And this is called snow.

And this is Madame Leonowens,

And today we have a surprise for you.

And whistle a happy tune

And writing down 12 times in copybook.

And you are glad of this?

And you meet

And you regard this as a good omen?

And you too will know everything.

And Your Majesty, I wish to say to you:

And your wisdom.

And, Buddha,

And, Father, I would make second proclamation.

And, one, two, three, and one, two, three, and...

Angel make the wind blow cold.

Angel show her how to walk on frozen water.

Anna, Anna, you're much too young to bury your heart in a grave.

Anna, my dear.

Anything you wish to discuss with me?

Are a part of them all,

Are happy tonight,

Are in each other's arms,

Are my children to be taught nothing more?

Are we ready? The guests are arriving.

Are you certain this is customary, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera?

Are you wearing undergarments?

As a bowl of rice is just another bowl of rice, no different from any other.

As a matter of fact.

As a student I have studied to procure

As a teacher I've been learning

As does the government of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria.

As have sense enough for learning.

As long as you live.

As you make believe you are.

As you wish, Your Majesty.

At your first dance...

Author! Author!

Aye, laddie.

Aye, laddie. That's Bangkok all right.

Baby in her arms also called George.

Barbarian, you say.

Be brave and faithful and true,

Be brave, young lovers,

Be father to my children, And husband to each wife,

Be it ever so humble,

Because I, too, am glad for death of king...

Because I've met the people of Siam, and I'm learning to understand them.

Because it is natural.

Because of all the beautiful and new things

Because of all the beautiful and new things

Because of her, and even more because of you.

Because one slave has run away, Simon beating ev'ry slave.

Because you scientific, not lowly like woman.

Before I came here, Siam was just that little white spot to me.

Before I signed our agreement, I found out about your ambitions for Siam.

Before leaving, Edward confided that the ambassador was quite impressed.

Behold

Behold

Behold and believe

Behold and believe

Blessed little Eva.

Bodies upright, standing as men were meant to stand...

Bow to him. Bow, bow, bow.

But he would not listen, Mrs. Anna.

But how can I think while being driven out of mind!

But how do I learn?

But how? Where?

But I do not know.

But is different because of not wearing

But it is a silly complication of a pleasant simplicity.

But it's a beautiful idea, Your Majesty.

But my slaves

But nicely,

But no matter what I think,

But now and then he'll say

But observe care that head shall not be higher than mine.

But of what is right.

But she dances with stranger, holding hands?

But there isn't much time.

But this is a man who tries.

But this one tried.

But unless someday, Somebody trust somebody,

But when the music started, something drew me to your side.

But where everything still remains according to the wishes of the king!

But you do expect women to be faithful.

But you must know, because you are king.

But you shall be leaving.

But, Mrs. Anna, you must remember...

But...

By

By contradicting each other,

By the blessing of the highest super agency in the world

By your pupils you'll be taught,

Can convince British that you are unfit to be ruler of Siam,

Captain, I heard them lowering the anchor. Is anything wrong?

Causing embarrassing fatigue of body...

Doctors warned him he must change his ways quickly...

Does he have enough guns and elephants for transporting same?

Does that make you friends again?

Does that mean that you do not know?

Doesn't anything ever frighten you?

Don't ask question of sick man.

Don't cry, young lovers whatever you do

Don't you think it would make a better impression

Down, down, down!

Each time it becomes more difficult.

Goodbye, Captain Orton, and thank you for everything.

Goodness, this started out to be a geography lesson.

Government.

Green,

Groveling on the floor at 2:00 in the morning.

Half naked.

Happy people.

Hard enough to walk upon.

Hard water?

Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Haven't you noticed?

Haven't you noticed?

He always frightened me.

He bring present to king from prince of Burma.

He decide to hunt Eliza...

He has a thousand dreams

He has commanded that I give it to you.

He has no right to pry into my personal affairs.

He has the head of a goat!

He hasn't, Captain Orton.

He is dying!

He is Lun Tha, who was chosen to bring me here.

He is wonderful.

He must love one woman and one woman only.

He needs help, Mrs. Anna.

He seems to be a fine man who has studied hard

He tried very hard.

He was pretty in face.

He will not always say

He will only tear himself in two, trying to be something he can never be.

He would not listen.

He'll fight to prove that what he does not know

He's only...

Head must not be higher than mine.

Hear that?

Hear! Hear!

Help also Mrs. Anna to keep awake for scientific sewing of dresses

Help also Mrs. Anna...

Her lover has not been caught. Not yet.

Her name is Tuptim.

Her play tonight.

Here is king of Burma.

Here is king of Siam.

Here is something belonging to you.

Here.

Hidden by this veil of lace.

Hide in forest

His Excellency wishes to know, are you married, sir?

His Gracious Majesty, the king of Siam:

His having asked for me.

His heart is not always wise.

Hmm.

Hold this girl. I do this myself!

House? What house?

How are you, Anna?

How can I make letter if you interrupt?

How can it be that everyone knows one thing

How can schoolroom be so unscientific?

How do you explain the fact, Your Majesty...

How many children do you have?

How many years shall you have been married?

How many, how many, how many?

How much time do I have for all this?

How my lover

How my lover

How nice of you to come to say goodbye.

How old shall you be?

How poor is king of Burma.

How slaves can be set free if their masters wish to keep them.

Huh.

I am 150 years old, Your Majesty.

I am a widow.

I am aware of your interest.

I am frightened because I love my father...

I am frightened, Mrs. Anna.

I am just leaving.

I am king as I was born to be...

I am Lun Tha.

I am not equal to his special needs.

I am pleased.

I am pleased. Cigar.

I am so pleased, Your Majesty.

I am watched too closely.

I beg to put before you one who is not happy:

I beg to put before you:

I believe to be your fault.

I believe.

I can't believe you will do this dreadful thing!

I cannot stand all the time.

I cannot stay where a promise has no meaning.

I command all of you

I couldn't possibly work that way, or think.

I didn't come to Bangkok just because I enjoy sleeping on a gunboat

I do hope so.

I do not believe such thing as snow.

I do not believe this is good thing.

I do not believe Topsy is wicked critter...

I do not know you well.

I do not remember anything except that you are my servant.

I do not see Siam.

I do not see you, Mrs. Anna.

I do not understand

I do not wish to leave them. I love them too, quite extraordinarily.

I don't like that man.

I don't think any man has ever been as good a king as he could have been.

I don't think I shall ever be afraid again.

I don't think they have elephants in America, Your Majesty.

I don't think you mean pairs of male elephants.

I don't understand you, not you or your king.

I fool myself as well!

I forget.

I had no idea.

I hardly think so, dear. Kings don't, as a rule.

I have boy too.

I have come here to work and I intend to work,

I have hope you accept.

I have no time for teaching, being busy with foreign affairs

I have not said I do not approve.

I have opinion that, in this regard, England is very backward nation.

I have wish to...

I hold my head erect

I hope your troubles are few.

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels

I know, I forgot and. Next time I remember.

I know.

I let her do nothing that is not my pleasure.

I like boat races.

I like him very much.

I make better question than she make answer.

I may present Lady Thiang, head wife.

I must go on living life. As leader of my kingdom

I must have some privacy.

I must meet with Tuptim again. Please!

I must think.

I must think.

I never learned to take defeat like a gentleman.

I plan to leave on the next sailing.

I promise you

I regret to put before you:

I regret, sir, my ladies have not given good impression.

I remember this

I said, you are my servant!

I shall be forced to return to England.

I shall be perfectly happy to help you in any way I can

I shall do what is usually done in such event.

I shall explain...

I shall have to get back to the boat.

I shall miss them.

I shall miss them.

I shall pray, Lun Tha.

I shall try my best not to let my head be higher than Your Majesty's,

I should like to propose a toast.

I should like to see him at once, while there's time for me

I specks I'se de wickedest critter in de world.

I still think your Moses shall have been a fool.

I tell you what Harriet Beecher Stowe say that Topsy say:

I think about a night

I think he shall have been a fool to have written so.

I think I have fine idea.

I think is better if king's anger reserved for more important matters.

I think it very strange...

I think maybe

I think perhaps I die.

I think perhaps we had better call recess until after luncheon.

I think that's a very good idea, Mother. A very good idea.

I was forced to laugh myself. I was so funny.

I was hoping to find you wasted away with homesickness.

I was not lovers with this man!

I whistle a happy tune

I will be ready.

I will find a way.

I will hear no more!

I will show them who is barbarian!

I will show you. Give me.

I will tell king this.

I will tell you end of story.

I wish him to know we are also Europeans.

I wish to remain here in room with knowledge.

I wish to say, warm affection.

I wish to say...

I wish you could see His Majesty's children.

I wish you have never come to Siam.

I would not permit.

I, too...

I...

I...

I'll have a place to bring up my boy as his father would have wished.

I'm afraid

I'm coming.

I'm fully aware that you do not approve of my coming to Siam.

I'm learning about you

I'm learning about you

I'm sorry, Lady Thiang, he is asleep.

I'm sorry, Lun Tha.

I'm very sorry.

I've been in love like you.

I've had a love

I've had a love of my own,

I've had a love of my own,

If allies are strong with power to protect me,

If allies are weak am I not best alone?

If different English books state different things?

If enemies of ours, with lies such as this

If I die or do not die.

If I tell king he break this promise, I will make anger in him.

If my Lord in heaven Buddha show the way,

If someone were sending a lie about me to England,

If they believe only what they see, why do we have schoolroom? Rise!

If those closest to him are unwilling to help him.

If you change your mind...

If you do not give me the house you promised,

If you see a chaba flower in your path, broken like this,

If you'll excuse me, Your Majesty.

Immoral. Immoral!

In 1712, Your Majesty.

In addition to children, you will also teach those of my wives

In England, no woman dances alone while a man looks on.

In England, we're brought up with it.

In fact, I can stay only a few more minutes.

In fashion of lowly toad.

In his letter of agreement, he promised me 20£ a month

In looking back, I discover that you think much on those people

In many ways he was just as young as you.

In my head are many facts that,

In my head are many facts, but I am not sure.

In order to remind me of breaking promises I never make, et cetera.

In presence of dying king.

In right hand is weapon.

In that case, we'd better be going in, Anna.

In that, he is not unlike yourself.

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.

In what year were you borned?

Indeed? And why must I?

Inside him is strong king like his father, who cannot change.

Is a danger to be trusting one another,

Is a puzzlement

Is as schoolteacher to the royal children.

Is Buddha's wish that Eva come to him...

Is by American lady, Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Is called The Small House of Uncle Thomas.

Is different.

Is love for one I shall never see again.

Is matter of concern.

Is not homesickness that make me sad, Mrs. Anna.

Is ocean.

Is promise?

Is that he shall have tried his utmost best.

Is that it, captain? Are we here?

Is that what you have decided to do, Your Majesty?

Is very sad ending, with sacrifice.

Is very strange to tell

It doesn't matter, captain. I shall have work to do,

It has been said by one...

It has been said.

It has occurred to us that if we shall be sending you several pairs

It has occurred to us...

It is a false lie!

It is a pleasure that you shall live in palace.

It is all right, Lady Thiang.

It is believed she was running away with Lun Tha...

It is immoral for king to drown when pursuing slave who deceive him.

It is known you were lovers with him.

It is late, Your Majesty. If there's nothing else...

It is like old Siamese rhyme:

It is my pleasure that you stay here!

It is not necessary for schoolteacher to know everything at once.

It is suitable.

It made me think

It means put on your best clothes,

It must not sound like advice.

It occurs to me that there shall be nothing wrong that men shall die.

It should be very interesting meeting.

It was difficult for him, Mrs. Anna.

It was their explanation of the miracle of creation,

It will be good to think back...

It will be the sign that I have come for you. Watch for it.

It will be. I swear this.

It's an expression, Your Majesty.

It's done by the passing of a law

It's much too dangerous.

It's not the king, it's the kralahome.

It's quite simple, the polka.

It's the boat. It's time to go.

Just a minute. Not the palace. I am not living in the palace.

King cannot take advice.

King do not always remember what he promise.

King in bad spirit today.

King is in terrible distress, not knowing where to turn.

King is pleased with her.

King Simon of Legree.

King Simon of Legree.

Ladies, come back! Come back. Oh, dear.

Lady Son Klin, Lady Talap, Lady Piam.

Lady Thiang, have children prepare for presentation to schoolteacher.

Lady Thiang, will you please ask them to leave?

Lady Thiang, will you start the lesson, please?

Lady Thiang. Your Highness.

Land all white with snow.

Let my children come in.

Like soldiers in lines.

Like tonight? In arms of man not her husband?

Like yours,

Lincoln!

Little Eva.

Little Topsy.

Look like lace upon the sky.

Looking on the same blue sea,

Lover's name is George.

Ls ne'er met with elsewhere.

Ls very strange to tell

Ma'am, if I might be allowed to offer you a word of warning,

Make believe you're brave

Make the river water hard.

Man is Lun Tha, emissary from court of Burma.

Man who bring her here from Burma.

Many men learn this after they become kings, Your Highness.

May I introduce my aide, Sir Edward Ramsay.

May the rest of the world regard him with the same high esteem

Might they not protect me out of all I own?

Mischief maker, Topsy.

Mischief maker, Topsy...

Missionary.

More toast.

More, Your Majesty?

Moses is very fine illustration of little known fact

Moses, Moses, Moses. I think he shall have been a fool.

Moses?

Moses.

Mother, look. The prime minister is naked!

Mother, our luggage is all loaded.

Mother! Look, there's Bangkok.

Mother...

Mr. Lincoln is fighting a war, even now, to set the slaves free.

Mrs. Anna Leonowens and son.

Mrs. Anna,

Mrs. Anna, I do not come for myself.

Mrs. Anna, it is I, Lady Thiang.

Mrs. Anna, Mrs. Anna. They are cannibals.

Mrs. Anna?

Mrs. Anna.

Mrs. Anna.

Mrs. Anna...

Mrs. Leonowens, may I present His Excellency, the kralahome.

Must we go on forever hiding our love like this?

My cup of tea!

My cup of tea!

My father.

My goodness gracious...

My guess is that you will not fight with your distinguished visitors.

My house, Your Majesty. The one you promised me, adjoining the palace.

My name is Tuptim. I already speak English.

My Way!

Naturally!

Never seen?

No crawling.

No crouching.

No one knows, really.

No one, Anna?

No wonder he's not winning war.

No, we shall make them look like ladies of Europe:

No, Your Majesty, that is not true. I am most certainly not your servant!

No! No! Please, Mrs. Anna.

No! Oh, ladies, please. Don't open that, no.

No?

No. No!

No...

Nor...

Nor... way.

Nor... way.

Norway is a very cold place.

Norway is a very cold place.

Not anymore.

Not ever.

Not ever.

Not only that, but the raindrops change into small white spots

Not only with soldiers...

Not to be afraid is good thing in scientific mind.

Not today.

Not very often.

Now as token of his love...

Now I am a man,

Now it is too late. They all stand up, waiting.

Now suppose you are Queen Victoria,

Now that I've been here many months it has become far more than that

Now that the king is dying...

Now you know and I know

Now you understand about women.

Now, theatricals for entertainment.

Now, was there something else?

Now. When else? Now is always best time.

Now...

Of a sudden, she can see Wicked Simon of Legree...

Of any king who pursue a slave who is unhappy and who tried to escape.

Of course he can never be

Of course. I never allowed Tom to forget it.

Of great importance.

Of love, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Of my own free will.

Of the whole universe, the king of Siam.

Of thieves who would try to steal my country.
