of this opportunity...

for sake of yourselves and country.

We will come to attention, please.

Order, please!

Quiet! Order, please! Quiet!

Order! Quiet!

Be quiet! Be quiet! Order, please!

Quiet! Order!

Don't any of you understand

any English at all?

Aaah!

They think you wear dress like that...

because you're shaped

like that down there.

Oh, you speak English.

Good morning, sir.

I am very glad to see you.

I think of you very often.

In the beginning...

God created the heaven

and the Earth.

Missionary.

Oh, a missionary taught you English.

- Thiang.

- Lady Thiang.

- Yes, sir.

- How fortunate.

I shall ask you to help me

in explaining to the others.

Uh, yes, sir.

Good morning, sir.

We shall now begin the class.

The usual way to begin would

be with the English alphabet...

but I should like

to impress His Majesty...

with the way English people feel.

Therefore, we will begin

by learning a song or two...

Or a sentence or two...

which will express English feeling.

For instance, this one.

It's an old proverb.

"If a man break faith with me...

"shame on him...

"but if I let him

deceive me twice...

shame on me."

It is not good day. I feel it.

There will not be

many gifts this morning.

- Who shall this be?

- My name is Tuptim.

She was sent

by governor of Lao province.

She's daughter

of his youngest brother.

Ah. What favor shall

this governor want now?

Never mind. Write letter.

Say thank you.

Make it nice letter.

Where this come from?

I do not know, Your Majesty.

There is writing on it.

Read it to me, oh, my father.

You would not understand it,

little one.

But I have studied a month now.

The English mem cha

says I'm very clever...

and you will be pleased.

Tell me something that you

have learned in school.

Good morning.

This is the thought for the day:

A promise delayed...

is justice deferred.

A promise neglected...

is a truth untold.

East or west, home is best.

Which seek thro' the world

Is ne'er met with elsewhere

Home, home

Sweet, sweet home

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

Be it ever so humble

There's no place like...

That will do for today.

Now I think it's time we started

learning our alphabet.

Look on your slates and listen...

while I pronounce the letters.

"A."

"B."

"C."

"D."

"E."

Oh, good morning, Your Majesty.

Are you going to say something

to our class this morning?

No!

"F." "G."

There's no place like home

No singing here!

If singing necessary, I sing!

Your Majesty.

It has begun, Toongramon.

We've lost Cambodia.

Our governor of Cambodia has made

a treaty with the French government.

They have recognized Cambodia

as independent of Siam...
