The King and I Page #2

I think I have fine idea.

In addition to children, you will also

teach those of my wives...

...as have sense enough for learning.

Siam to be very modern,

scientific country.

Everybody speaking the English.

Your Majesty, it is not in our

agreement that I teach your wives too.

Also, I will allow you to help me

in my foreign correspondence.

I shall be perfectly happy to

help you in any way I can...

...provided we can clear up this

one little matter of the house.

House?

House? What house?

My house, Your Majesty. The one

you promised me, adjoining the palace.

It is our pleasure

that you shall live in palace.

You teach in palace,

and you shall live in palace.

Will have nice apartment.

Can look out, see many things.

Oh, yes, I'm sure we could

see many things...

...such as iron bars, guards at

the doors, et cetera, et cetera.

What is this "et cetera"?

Well, it means "and all the rest

and so forth," Your Majesty.

You will meet my children.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but if

there is to be no house...

...I shall have to get back

to the boat.

You will stand here

and meet royal children.

Very well, Your Majesty.

But there isn't much time.

The royal princes and princesses.

Well, well, well?

Schoolteacher has graciously changed

her mind and shall live in palace.

For the time being, Your Majesty.

These are the children you shall teach.

Someday shall allow you

to meet my others.

More, Your Majesty?

Children of wives

not in favor with king.

Sixty-seven, I think.

No! Oh, ladies, please.

Don't open that, no.

Oh, my goodness! Oh, won't you all

go back to your rooms?

Lady Thiang, will you please

ask them to leave?

I must have some privacy.

Good heavens!

What are they trying to do to me?

Sir, they think you wear dress like

that because you shaped like that.

Well, I most certainly am not.

They wish to know, sir,

if they may see the boy?

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

Please, do tell me.

Why do you keep calling me sir?

Because you scientific,

not lowly like woman.

But do you all think that women

are more lowly than men?

Well, I certainly do not.

Please, sir, do not tell king.

Make king angry.

Perhaps it's time somebody did

tell him a thing or two.

Mrs. Anna?

Please, you have some English books

I can read?

Yes, of course, my dear,

but they're not unpacked yet.

They laugh at her because

she is foolish child.

She has come to live in palace of king

and yet she is unhappy.

After all, she had no choice

in the matter.

Perhaps she is homesick.

Is not homesickness that make me sad,

Mrs. Anna.

Is love for one

I shall never see again.

Oh, poor child.

He is Lun Tha, who was chosen

to bring me here.

We tried so hard not to have

love for each other...

...but we could not help ourselves.

We did try, Mrs. Anna.

It isn't easy to stop loving a man

if he's the man you want.

Even if you know

you will never see him again.

I know.

I was very much in love

with my husband.

Please ask them to put that down.

They wish to know, sir, who is man?

That was my husband, Tom.

Tom.

He was pretty in face.

Oh, dear, yes, he was.

Very pretty in face.

When I think of Tom

I think about a night

When the earth smelled of summer

And the sky was streaked with white

And the soft mist of England

Was sleeping on a hill

I remember this

And I always will

There are new lovers now

On the same silent hill

Looking on the same blue sea

And I know Tom and I

Are a part of them all

And they're all a part of Tom...

...and me

Hello, young lovers

Whoever you are

I hope your troubles are few

All my good wishes go with you tonight

I've been in love like you

Be brave, young lovers

And follow your star

Be brave and faithful and true

Cling very close...

...to each other tonight

I've been in love like you

I know how it feels

To have wings on your heels

And to fly down a street in a trance

You fly down a street

On the chance that you'll meet

And you meet...

...not really by chance

Don't cry, young lovers

Whatever you do

Don't cry because I'm alone

All of my memories...

...are happy tonight

I've had a love of my own

I've had a love of my own

Like yours

I've had a love...

...of my own

Be it pleasures and palaces

Though we may roam

Be it ever so humble

There's no place like home

A charm from the skies

Seems to hallow us there

- Father, I'll be late for school!

- You wait.

You are pleased to recite proverb

you learn yesterday...

...and writing down 12 times

in copybook.

"A thought for the day:

East or west...

...home is best. "

"East, west, home, best,"

means house!

"A man's house is only less dear

to him than his honor. "

Every day, month after week,

something about house.

Are my children to be taught

nothing more?

Yesterday we are taught...

...that the world is a round ball...

...which spins on an invisible stick

through its middle.

Everyone knows the world

rides on the back of a turtle...

...who keeps it

from running into the stars.

How can it be that everyone knows

one thing...

...if many people

believe another thing?

Then which is true?

The world is ball...

...with stick through it.

I believe.

You believe?

Does that mean that you do not know?

But you must know,

because you are king.

Good.

Someday you too will be king...

...and you too will know everything.

But how do I learn?

And when do I know

that I know everything?

When you are king.

When you are king.

But I do not know.

In my head are many facts,

but I am not sure.

What to tell a growing son?

How to bring truth and justice

to my people?

When I was a boy

World was better spot

What was so was so

What was not was not

Now I am a man

World have change a lot

Some things nearly so

Others nearly not

There are times I almost think

I am not sure

Of what I absolutely know

Very often find confusion

In conclusion

I concluded long ago

In my head are many facts

That as a student

I have studied to procure

In my head are many facts

Of which I wish

I was more certain

I was sure

Is a puzzlement

Shall I join with other nations

In alliance?

If allies are weak

Am I not best alone?

If allies are strong with power

To protect me

Might they not protect me

Out of all I own?

Is a danger to be trusting

One another

One will seldom want to do

What other wishes

But unless someday

Somebody trust somebody

There'll be nothing left on earth

Excepting fishes

There are times I almost think

Nobody's sure of what

He absolutely know

Everybody find confusion

In conclusion

He concluded long ago

And it puzzle me to learn

That though a man may be in doubt

Of what he know

Very quickly will he fiight

He'll fiight to prove

That what he does not know

Is so

Sometimes I think

That people going mad

Sometimes I think

That people not so bad

But no matter what I think

I must go on living life

As leader of my kingdom

I must go forth
