The King and I Page #3

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...
