The Last Emperor Page #6

Why do you think you are

in here, nine-eight-one?

I'm accused of being a traitor a collaborate

and a counter-revolutionary.

It's not an accusation!!

You are a traitor, you are a collaborator and

you're a counter-revolutionary!

Did you write this?

And you call it a confession?

This is noting but a list of dates!

A child's fairy tale!

What do you want me to confess?

You know what you did and

what others did.

So why don't you

volunteer the information?

I don't understand.

We don't tell people what to confess.

We already know everything about you.

I...

Go on.

I wanted reforms.

What did you what to reform?

Everything.

Cut off my queue.

Your majesty! Please!

It's heavy!

The emperor before me was murdered

because he wanted to reform the empire.

Is that not so, Mr, Johnston?

Yes, Your Majesty. Probably.

Well, let us see if they will kill me for

reforming the Forbidden City.

Lord Chamberlain!

I'm appointing

Mr, Johnston's friend,

the poet and scholar,

Chin Hsiao Hsiu,

to be the new Lord Chamberlain.

I want him to supervise a detailed

inventory of the imperial storerooms!

So that we can learn exactly

how much has been stolen!

Can I sleep here?

I'm frightened.

You're brave.

Are you not frightened?

I'm excited.

I don't want to escape anymore.

I want to rule.

Kiss me.

Can I stay with you as well?

Get in. Get in.

I used to play a game with the eunuchs.

Trying to guess who is who.

Now I can't see you!

Jung!

Wan Jung?

When Hsiu?

Come underneath the sheet with us.

Your Majesty!

The storeroom's on fire,

Your Majesty!

What are they carrying?

Their organs.

Whatever their crimes, they can't

be deprived of the right to

be buried as whole men.

Well?!

I have forgot what

I was saving.

You're wasting our time!

We want to know about the Japanese.

How did your friendship

with the Japanese begin?

Who introduced you?!

When?!

Hmm, I think it was... it was 1924.

Parliament had been dissolved again.

The president had fled.

At first, I thought it was just another a

coup d'etat by just another warlord.

Only this time it was different.

This time it was my turn.

Fifteen, love

Play.

Thirty, fifteen.

The rotten government of

the republic is in flight!

Now we shall remove the foreign

stench of the Manchurian rats who

still hide in the Forbidden City.

Mr, Pu Yi and his family have been given

one hour to leave the Forbidden City.

They will be escorted

to the home of his father.

and remain there under guard as state

prisoners until further notice!!

What are you all looking at?

What are you standing there for?

You always wanted to leave

the Forbidden City.

Now you're got an hour to park.

So, go! Go!
