Annie Get Your Gun Page #5

You'll start to bust out in a cold sweat...

...and then just like in a fairytale,

you'll be so proud of me...

...that you're gonna ask me

to do something and be somebody...

...and I'm gonna do it and be it.

Honey, I could ask you that right now.

You sure look elegant.

Not now, Frank.

That ain't the way I planned it.

Besides, you can't kneel down here.

Then I'll come back to your tent

after I come off.

And then you can take your time

and ask me real slow-like.

I better get. Would you

like to touch me for luck?

There ain't nothing like that

in Dark County.

"My defenses are down

She's broken my resistance

"And I don't know where I am

"I went into the fight like a lion

"But I came out like a lamb

"My defenses are down

She's got me where she wants me

"And I can't escape no how

"I could speak to my heart

"When it weakened

"But my heart won't listen now

"Like a toothless clawless tiger

"Like an organ grinder's bear

"Like a knight without his armor

"Like Samson without his hair

"My defenses are down

"I might as well surrender

"For the battle can't be won

"But I must confess

"That I like it

"So there's nothing to be done

"Yes, I must confess

"That I like it

"Being miserable

"Is gonna be fun

"Your defenses are down

She's got you where she wants you

"And you can't escape no how

"I could speak to my heart

when it weakened

"But your heart won't listen now

"Like a toothless clawless tiger

"Like an organ grinder's bear

"Like a knight without his armor

"Like Samson without his hair

"My defenses are down

"You might as well surrender

"For the battle can't be won

"But I must confess

"That I like it

"So there's nothing to be done

"Yes, you must confess that you like it

"Being miserable

"Is gonna be fun"

And now, ladies and gentleman,

for the surprise feature...

...of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show.

For the first time in any arena...

...we will witness this afternoon a feat

of marksmanship, daring and bravery...

...never before attempted in all the world.

Ladies and gentleman,

we proudly present Miss Annie Oakley.

I don't want you to blame Annie.

She was only trying to surprise you.

She wouldn't cross anybody.

That's what I thought! I thought

she was such a sweet, simple little girl.

Simple. In two weeks,

I wind up being her assistant.

Look who's talking. I've watched you

push her around for months now.

Handing you your guns.

Grateful for any crumb the great

Frank Butler would deign to drop.

You're so conceited, if you fell in love

with anybody else, it'd be a triangle!

Maybe you'd like to hit me, too?

Charlie was talking for both of us.

Frank! I've been looking all over for you.

Did you see me? Were you surprised?

-It was the surprise of my life.

-I knew you'd like it.

Now, if you two will get,

we want to be alone.

Get away! You've been chasing me

all the way from the big tent.

Make him stop saying that!

What does it mean?

It's all right, honey.

It's a compliment. In the Sioux language,

'Watanya Cicilia' means "Little Sure Shot."

Of course, he wants to meet you.

Miss Annie Oakley,

may I present Chief Sitting Bull.

I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Bull.

Thank you kindly.

I want you to meet my best friend,

Mr. Frank Butler.

You in show, too?

In the show? He's the star!

Star?

That means he's the best.

No, you best.

Good girl.

That's all right.

He wants you to be his friend.

Not friend. I make her my daughter.

-What?

-That's a great honor.

He wants to adopt you.

I've called Sioux tribe together.

We have big ceremony.

-When, Chief?

-Now.

Not now. I have to contact

the newspapers, send some wires.

-That'll take a little time.

-Now!

That's what I said. Now.

To be near daughter...

...Sitting Bull break rule.

Put money in show business.

You hear that? Now we can go

to New York, Madison Square Garden!

We'll tour Europe, the whole world!

Everything's happening so fast.

First, I get me a new papa...

...and now if you two will get, I could

get me a husband. Couldn't I, Frank?

-Where did he go?

-He probably went out to change.

Wait a minute.

Buffalo! Charlie! Help!

Come!

You...

...say after me.

Teeth of many bear.

Am I an Indian yet?

Not yet.

Am I an Indian yet?

Not yet.

Am I an Indian yet?

Come.

Watanya Cicilia.

Now!

"Like the Seminole, Navajo, Kickapoo

"Like those Indians, I'm an Indian, too

"A Sioux, a Sioux

"Just like Rising Moon,

Falling Pants, Running Nose

"Like those Indians, I'm an Indian, too

"A Sioux, a Sioux

"Some Indian summer's day,

without a care

"I may run away

with Big Chief Son of a Bear

"And I'll have totem poles,

tomahawks, small papoose

"Which will go to prove

I'm an Indian too

"A Sioux, a Sioux

"I'm an Indian, I'm an Indian

I'm an honest Injun Indian

"I'm an Indian too

"How! "

Well, now I'm an Indian.

Do we carry on that way

every time we take in a new member?

I'm beat.

Here's a letter for you, Annie.

For me?

Thanks.

I ain't never had a letter before.

Frank!

Frank. Your best friend.

Papa Bull, can you read writing?

Papa Bull writing book.

Can you make this out?

"Dear Annie. I'm leav--"

What's the matter?

"I'm leaving tonight

to join Pawnee Bill's show.

"I'm going to do my old act with Dolly."

Why?

"You put over greatest trick I ever saw.

"You are a smart girl, Annie,

too smart for me.

"Good luck to you and goodbye. Frank."

What does he mean? Too smart for....

It must be some sort of joke.

It was gonna be Butler and Oakley.

I was gonna....

Are you sure you can read?

You want him killed?

Papa Bull, we was gonna be married

tonight. Me and Frank.

I was gonna be a lady for him

and everything.

I was trying so hard!

You great lady, Annie.

You best shot in whole world.

Oh, Papa Bull! I wish I'd never seen a gun.

You kids be good and do everything

that Miss Willoughby tells you to do.

Where's Little Jake?

Jake?

Little Jake.

Annie, it's awful important

that I go with you. Honest, it is.

I wish you could, Little Jake,

but you've got to take Jessie and Minnie...

...and Nellie back to Ohio.

But who's going to teach you to read?

I guess I'll have to learn myself.

Goodbye, kids.

-Take good care of them, Miss Willoughby.

-I will.

-Goodbye, Annie.

-And hurry up back, Annie.

I will.

Goodbye.

Take good care of your shooting arm,

Annie.

I will, Jake. 'Bye.

-There it is. Time to get aboard.

-Not yet.

-Something wrong?

-Maybe.

Maybe what?

Don't you think people would come

and say goodbye to people...

...when people are going to Europe?

Annie, maybe he couldn't make it.

You mean, maybe he didn't want to.

I don't care. Don't mean nothing to me.

Come on. I'm gonna be the biggest hit

in the whole world.

I'm going to win every shooting medal

ever invented.

Then Mr. Frank Butler won't be so proud

and mighty. I'll show him.

Yes, now. Come on.

Miss Oakley,

you're a very remarkable young lady.

Sit down.

My daughter, Annie, many fine medals.

Hello, Charlie. Great success, wasn't it?
