Short filmTranscript
00:04Out of the night, when the full moon is bright,
00:09comes a horseman known as Zorro.
00:13This bold renegade cars the sea with his blade,
00:19a sea that stands for Zorro.
00:23Zorro, Zorro, the fox so cutting and free.
00:30Zorro, Zorro, who makes the sign of the sea.
00:39Zorro, Zorro, the fox so cutting and free.
00:46Zorro, Zorro, who makes the sign of the sea.
00:51Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
01:31Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
01:32Take my horse to the stable.
01:34Feed and water him well.
01:36Si, senor.
01:54Greetings, senor.
01:55You the innkeeper?
01:56Si, senor.
01:57I like your best room.
01:58But of course, senor.
01:59Welcome to Los Angeles.
02:01My baggage.
02:15One moment, senor.
02:18It is necessary for you to sign the register.
02:38Carlos, that is your first name, senor?
02:44No, sergeant.
02:45That is the name of my horse.
02:48Your horse?
02:49He is a very uneducated horse.
02:52Cannot read or write.
02:53Therefore, I must sign the register for him at the inn where he is the guest.
02:58You must be joking, senor.
03:03Aren't you?
03:11Morietta.
03:12Carlos Morietta.
03:14Welcome to Los Angeles, senor.
03:15Where are you from?
03:18I come from a city called No Place in the country of anywhere.
03:22No place in...
03:24Please, senor, do not make jokes.
03:26As acting comandante, it is my duty to ask these questions.
03:30You are a stranger.
03:32Therefore, I must know where you are from and what business brings you to our city.
03:35City?
03:37You call this miserable hovel of mud huts a city?
03:42It's more like a pigsty.
03:46Senor, I must protest!
03:48Are all your guests subjected to questioning by this small town tin soldier?
03:58One moment, senor!
04:01Please?
04:03Sergeant Garcia.
04:06Senor Morietta is not very cooperative, Don Diego.
04:09I asked him civil questions and got back senseless replies.
04:12Well, exactly what is it you must know about, senor Morietta?
04:15Merely where he comes from and what business brings him here.
04:19Possibly, sergeant, we can deduce the answers for ourselves.
04:22Won't you join me?
04:23No, I'm afraid not, Don Diego.
04:25I have many duties to perform.
04:26The barracks must be inspected.
04:28The lancers must be drilled.
04:29I have a sentry list to post and...
04:32But, of course, all these things can wait.
04:37Maria?
04:39Bring me some wine, please.
04:45Now, about the answers, Don Diego.
04:47How do we deduce them?
04:49How are your powers of observation, sergeant?
04:51Good.
04:52My vision is excellent.
04:54Then, uh, you notice the hat that senor Morietta was wearing?
04:57Si.
04:59It is the hat of an Argentine gaucho.
05:01Argentine?
05:02But then he must be a South American.
05:04No, we do not know that he's a South American.
05:06The evidence only suggests that he recently came from there.
05:10Gracias, Maria.
05:15However, his accent is not that of a South American, so I suspect that he was merely visiting there.
05:21Well, at least I know his name and where he is from, for my report.
05:25Now, if I only knew what business brought him here.
05:37Innkeeper.
05:38What do you wish, senor?
05:39There's a Jose Mordante living in this village.
05:42Si, senor.
05:43He operates a tannery on the outskirts of the pueblo.
05:46The sender man to fetch him.
05:46I have business with him.
05:47Immediately, senor.
05:55Well, sergeant, I believe that answers your question.
06:09Enter.
06:12Close the door.
06:16You are a Jose Mordante?
06:17Si, senor.
06:18That is my name.
06:19You are Carlos Muriata?
06:20Yes.
06:21I received word that you were to arrive here.
06:23When did your ship dock in San Pedro?
06:25This morning.
06:25I want to see your identification.
06:38Good hunting, senor?
06:45I plundered the churches of South America for fortune and gems.
06:49Oh, that should refill the eagles' coffers, eh?
06:53Here is the sample of my hunting.
06:57The famous cross of the Andes.
06:58Ah, beautiful.
07:02And valuable, eh?
07:04It has a greater symbolical value than a material one.
07:07Still, the gems encrusted on it would bring a good price.
07:11The rest of the gems, they are here with you, senor?
07:17Half of them came on the ship with me.
07:20At present, they are going through the routine process of being cleared by the customs at the port of San
07:24Pedro.
07:25But senor, they are storing gems. Even the authorities find them.
07:28The authorities will not even know of their existence.
07:32The gems are concealed in a box of boots, which I, as an importer, am bringing to you a tanner
07:37of leather for distribution and sale.
07:39Oh, senor, I would think that it would be...
07:41Suppose you let me do the thinking.
07:43I haven't come all this way to allow the tanner of leather the luxury of criticizing me.
07:49I was merely thinking on the side of caution, senor.
07:53Caution is for fools and cowards.
07:55The eagle sent me to do a job, and your job is to do whatever I wish.
08:01Those are my instructions, senor.
08:03In a few days, a box of boots will arrive from San Pedro.
08:06We will keep the box on the premises of your tannery.
08:09Very well, senor.
08:11My brother Pedro is a passenger on another boat from South America, which will arrive soon.
08:16With him are the remainder of the gems.
08:23Yes.
08:23Gracias, Don Diego.
08:24I have enjoyed your hospitality, but I must go now.
08:29Please do not ask me to stay and have another glass.
08:31Oh, I have no intention of doing so, sergeant.
08:34On the contrary, I must insist that you leave right now.
08:37Is it necessary to be so emphatic, Don Diego?
08:44Would it not be wiser, senor, to send the gems onto Monterey on another ship?
08:49In the entire western world, no port is so closely guarded as the port of Monterey.
08:54I'm sorry, senor. I did not know that.
08:57This conversation bores me. Let's go downstairs and have a bottle of wine.
09:10You have your duty to perform, sergeant. As acting comandante, well, it's just not fitting that you sit here and
09:16idle away your time in the tavern.
09:18Not fitting, perhaps, but very pleasant.
09:40Did the whip touch you, senor?
09:42It only came close.
09:48You find no offense in my trick with the whip?
09:51To the contrary, senor. I admire your skill with that remarkable weapon.
09:56Adios, sergeant.
09:57Adios, Don Diego.
10:00Muchacha, a bottle of your best.
10:07Don Rodolfo, what are you doing here in the tavern?
10:10Why, I was just passing by and...
10:13Perhaps I am a customer, sergeant.
10:15At your age?
10:17Does your father know you came here?
10:19I have just had my 18th birthday.
10:2118. It is not possible.
10:24And I have started to shave. See?
10:26Oh, yes. The fuzz has disappeared.
10:29Amazing, Don Rodolfo.
10:31It seems only yesterday that you were playing caballeros and bandidos with the other children.
10:36Running around our pueblo and shouting like a bunch of wild Indians.
10:39Riding imaginary horses and shooting your wooden guns with incredible accuracy.
10:43That life is behind me, sergeant.
10:46I see.
10:47And it will be years before you regret leaving it.
10:51But welcome.
10:52Welcome, caballero, to a man's position in life and to a man's responsibilities.
11:09Please, señor, be seated. It attracts attention.
11:12Oh, of course. My apologies.
11:20Maria, is that young man going to again spend the entire day just staring at you?
11:25Well, I...
11:26We...
11:26It is bad for business.
11:27Especially when he occupies a table and spends no money.
11:31Well, perhaps today he will buy something.
11:40Do you not think you're a little too young to come into the tavern?
11:43I'm sorry, senorita. I shall leave if you wish me to.
11:46Oh, no. You need not go. But could you not buy something?
11:50Perhaps something not too expensive. A small bottle of wine?
11:53I do not drink wine.
11:55But, of course, bring me a bottle. I need not drink it just because I buy it.
12:02Oh, hello, Don Diego.
12:04Hello. Your father informs me that you've just commenced shaving.
12:07Welcome to a man's estate.
12:09Brushes.
12:14Losing one's youth has its compensation, say, Rodolfo.
12:27Young man, here's a friendly reminder.
12:30Don't this be the face you adore.
12:34You must realize, at the age of 18, there are lots of surprises in store.
12:40Quien sabe who knows what your fate will be?
12:46For the gardens are full of the loveliest flowers.
12:49There are plenty of fish in the sea.
12:51Si, si.
12:55Young man, though you're certain you love her,
12:59Without her you'd rather be dead.
13:02Recall that just 18 short years lie behind,
13:05And a great many more lie ahead.
13:08Quien sabe who knows what your fate will be?
13:13For the gardens are full of the loveliest flowers.
13:17There are plenty of fish in the sea.
13:19Si, si.
13:23Young man, when you look in your mirror,
13:26To shave the soft down from your cheek,
13:29Say this to yourself, many times will I shave,
13:33Ere I find the true love that I seek.
13:36Quien sabe who knows what your fate will be?
13:41For the gardens are full of the loveliest flowers.
13:45There are plenty of fish in the sea.
13:58Si, si.
14:06Si, si.
14:11My cup is empty.
14:15It gives me great pleasure to find a beauty like you in this village.
14:19You are very flattering, senor.
14:22Skin as white as the snow of the Andes.
14:25Senor, please.
14:29Senor, have you ever seen more beautiful lips?
14:31Never.
14:32Lips like those should be kissed.
14:34Only a coward would think otherwise.
14:36You hear that, senorita?
14:37I will be branded a coward if I do not kiss you.
14:40And if there is one thing I am not, it is a coward.
14:43Please, senor.
14:46Your manners need improving, senor.
14:49Why, you beardless pup.
14:53Don Rodolfo, please don't fight over me.
14:59Senor.
15:00He is unarmed.
15:01How fortunate.
15:03That gives him a stay of execution until dawn tomorrow.
15:07Providing he thinks the barmaid is worth fighting over.
15:12That is my answer, senor.
15:14You've just dug your own grave.
15:16Oh, senor, surely.
15:18You would not take advantage of this young man.
15:20It is obvious he has not had the experience with the sword that you have.
15:22He would be no match for you in a duel.
15:24Donnie Eagle, please do not interfere.
15:27We meet at dawn in the plaza, just outside the door.
15:31I shall be there.
15:34Rodolfo, that man is probably a good swordsman.
15:37Now, how much experience have you had with the blade?
15:39Very little, but it matters not.
15:42Well, I'm afraid your newly acquired manhood will be short-lived unless we do something.
15:47Come.
16:07Well, since you are really determined to go through with this duel...
16:09I have no alternative.
16:10You do not want to be known as a live coward, eh?
16:13There are some things worse than dying, Don Diego.
16:15But there is nothing quite so permanent, my friend.
16:18Wait, I will get the rapiers and we will practice.
16:20Oh, do you fence, Don Diego?
16:22Me?
16:22Oh, hardly ever.
16:23But Bernardo, my servant, he is quite skilled with the blade.
16:26He will test your mettle and fence with you.
16:40Our young friend has been challenged to a duel in the morning.
16:42And unless he is far more skillful with the blade than I suspect, I am afraid he will be killed.
16:46Bernardo, you will fence with him. Test his ability.
16:49Get the rapiers.
17:10Rodolfo, I am certainly no expert in these matters, but when I was in Spain, I often witnessed the young
17:15caballeros in fencing class.
17:16Watch.
17:21Now, when they would thrust thusly, they would keep the right knee bent and both feet flat on the ground
17:27with the weight slightly forward.
17:28Evidently, this allows the fencer to move quickly in either direction, either backwards or forward.
17:39And the better to parry your opponent's blade.
17:43Well, I did that rather well for an amateur, don't you think?
17:47Let me try it again.
17:48Let me try it again.
18:08Rodolfo.
18:10Considering your age and your inexperience, it would certainly be no dishonor for you to refuse to fight Senor Murrieta.
18:25I would not be able to hold my head up again.
18:28You are worried that Maria would be ashamed of you. Is that it?
18:32That is partly the reason.
18:34I think you do the Senorita injustice. Even so, would not her shame be preferable to her sadness at your
18:40funeral?
18:45It is not only what Maria would think, it is what I would think of myself.
18:55Don Diego, do you still agree to act as my second?
19:02If you wish.
19:03Then I expect to see you at the appointed place at dawn.
19:05I will be there.
19:12Hasta mañana.
19:18Well, Bernardo, it seems that our young friend is determined to die at dawn.
19:23What can we do?
19:27Yes. This is a job for Zorro.
19:44Yes, sir.
19:44Yes, sir.
19:44Yes.
19:44Of those of you who are now?
19:56Yes, sir.
20:10Buenas noches, senor, and welcome to Los Angeles.
20:14Who are you?
20:15I am known by many names, but you can call me solo.
20:20What are you doing here in my room?
20:23Let us say that I'm an unofficial greeter,
20:25that I've come to tell you what the stranger might expect
20:27when it comes to Los Angeles.
20:30Now, we have a glorious country here.
20:32The sun shines every day, the air is sweet and clean.
20:36Fruit grows on every tree and is yours for the picking.
20:47On the other hand, senor, you might say that I came here to give you some advice.
20:51It's easy to give advice at the point of a sword.
20:54Since arriving here, you have insulted a young lady of our community,
20:57and you have acted the part of a coward in challenging an inexperienced youth to a duel with you.
21:01You call me a coward?
21:03You hear me well.
21:05Let me cross swords with you, senor Zorro,
21:07and we shall soon see which is a coward.
21:09Oh?
21:10As you wish.
21:45What's wrong with you...
21:57What's wrong with you Pantheres?
21:58What's wrong with you?
21:58True, r-Doujar.
21:58Come on, R-Doujar.
22:05How you Dominical is she here?
22:05Sharon Montucing.
22:05He's themayư.
22:05Huh?
22:06See she's my father,
22:26Your hat, senor.
22:35Whoa!
22:39I'm no coward, senor.
22:40Do as you wish.
22:45I believe I shall save you, senor.
22:48For another time.
22:54Senor!
23:16Good morning, Rodolfo.
23:17Good morning, senores.
23:18Don't, Rodolfo.
23:19I could not sleep worrying about you.
23:21You must not fight this man.
23:23I am sorry, senorita.
23:24Please, you must not do this thing.
23:25He might kill you.
23:27Rodolfo.
23:27There is much wisdom in what the senorita says.
23:30Please, I would always feel responsible for your death.
23:38Don Diego, you are Don Rodolfo second?
23:41I am.
23:42As senor Murriata second, I am the bearer of bad news.
23:45Oh?
23:47Of what nature, senor?
23:49He has injured his hand and is unable to wield the sword.
23:53That is indeed tragic news.
23:55Just how did the accident occur?
23:57Oh, he cut himself while trimming his mustache.
24:05Don Rodolfo, you have heard it is impossible for senor Murriata to meet with you on the field of honor.
24:09He apologizes for inconveniencing you, senor.
24:12And his apologies to you, senorita.
24:47I am.
24:48I am.
24:51I am.
24:53I am.
24:53I am.
24:53Next week, to save the life of his friend, Zorro pays a heavy price for his heroism.
25:07Zorro!
25:10Be with us next week for action and adventure that comes only in the exciting life of Zorro!
