Anna and the King of Siam Page #5

I ask you that. How?

I'm afraid, Your Majesty,

that it has happened sometimes.

It is clear you are not scientific.

Why are you here?

Because you told me you intended

opening my school today.

My astrologers are fools. How can this

be good day for schools? You may go.

Very well, Your Majesty, but since

you've postponed opening the school...

there's something

I would like to discuss with you.

I should like to use the time

getting settled in my own house.

- House? House? House?

- The house you promised me.

Conditions different suddenly.

- Have we not agreed to teach our women?

- Well, of course I have.

How can you teach them

if you live outside?

It is our pleasure that you

shall reside within this palace.

If Your Majesty remembers,

you promised me a house.

I will do remembering

of what I promise.

Who is king here?

I remind you...

I do not know condition

which will arise.

I do not know anything

but that you are my servant...

and that it's our pleasure that you

shall reside within this palace...

and you shall obey.

Your Majesty, I'm prepared

to obey all your commands...

as far as they concern

my duties as a teacher.

You shall live in palace.

You shall live in palace! You shall...

Come back! Come back!

I command you, come back!

That king hasn't very good manners.

His mother certainly

didn't teach him not to shout.

Women don't seem to count

for very much out here.

"How can a king be wrong

and a woman be right?"

Well, the Disc of Light

isn't going to talk to me like that.

Beebe, take Louis

into the other room.

Yes, what do you want?

I have been ordered

into Forbidden City...

so I could personally

conduct mem to house...

His Majesty has graciously

decided she should have.

A house outside the palace?

His Majesty instruct me to say...

he desire to observe fully

terms of his promise.

Well.

Is this it?

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

What was it like? Is there a stable

for my pony when I get it?

- Is it on the river?

- Oh, Louis, it was horrible.

And he did it deliberately

to teach me a lesson...

to put me in my place.

But he'll rue this day,

let me tell you...

if he knows the meaning

of the word rue.

Unpack these things, Beebe.

Unpack everything.

- But, memsahib, you said...

- It doesn't make any difference what I said.

That man's going to give me

a house before I leave...

if I have to stay here the rest of my life.

I'll not just go away and let him

sit here laughing at me.

I'll not.

Mrs. Owens has graciously

changed her plans...

so will live in royal palace...

and be free for question

of education at all times.

I command you to be diligent...

and to make most
