"Oh, little one, what a thief you would make." "Oh, sergeant, speaking of thieves, do you think it wouId be possible for us to see that fabulous iron box?" "The one that would make a thief run from the very sight of it." "Of course, Don Diego." "It is at the shop of SaIvio, the blacksmith." " would you Iike to see it now?" " splendid." "Eugenio, where are you going?" " The day is over." " That is no answer." "I want to know where you're going." "I'm going home to change my clothes." "You're going to the tavern to meet that woman, aren't you?" " well, what if I am?" " She's not one for you." "Look, Father, I don't want to talk about it." "Besides, you don't know anything about her." "I'd Iike to know." "You're just a boy." "She's a grown woman." " What does she see in you?" " She cares for me." "Is it so difficult to understand that somebody should like me?" "{FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING}" "We have visitors." "We'II discuss this later." "You will remain here and behave yourself." "Is that clear?" " Sß." "DIEGO:" "SaIvio." "Buenas tardes, Don Diego." "How can I serve you?" "SaIvio, Don Diego wishes to see the iron box." "Of course, Don Diego." "At once." "In here, please." "Oh, Eugenio." " This?" " Wait until you see it, Don Diego." "Open it, please, Don Diego." "You call this tremendous thing an iron box." "For want of a better name." "It weighs over a thousand pounds." "I can easily believe that." " Why, the walls are 2 inches thick." " Too thick for anyone to break through." "Even if they pounded on them for a week." "I'm very impressed with all this." "I think I'II write a letter to the governor." "tell him how well you've followed his instructions." "Gracias, Don Diego, but SaIvio made it." " Ah." "You supervised it, though." " That is true, I did." "SaIvio, you're the only blacksmith in california who could have done this." "You can be proud of yourself." "Eugenio, my son, he worked on it with me." " You can be proud of him too." " Sß." "GARCIA:" "I think the money will be safe in this, don't you, Don Diego?" "I will not have to weaken the garrison by sending out a full escort of soldiers." "I think the sight of this alone will frighten away a bandido." "Oh, by the way, uh, how do you fasten it?" "This is how we fasten the box, Don Diego." "It looks as though it could do the job." "Oh, it will, it will." "I pounded on it with a hammer." "I couldn't even scratch it." "Hey, this key, it's very impressive." "Sß, Don Diego." "I am to send the key to the governor in Monterey." "Then, when the key is safely in the governor's hands, we will send the box." "That's an excellent idea, sergeant." "Once the box is locked, no one can open it but the governor." "exactly, Don Diego." "Heh-heh." "May I have the key, please?" "I was going to send this out on the stage tomorrow, but since the tax collections are almost complete" "I think I will send it by special messenger tonight." "DIEGO:" "You're very anxious to get rid of that money, eh?" "Sß, Don Diego, it is a great responsibility." "Oh, here, sergeant." "You might as well take the lock now too." "well, SaIvio, as soon as I have received word from the governor," "I will send some of my Iancers to move the box out into the plaza." " It will be ready." " Good." "Let me know when you're sending it." "I want to be there for the ceremonies." "Of course, Don Diego." "I" " Ceremonies?" "What ceremonies?" "well, you are going to make a speech, aren't you?" "A speech?" "Why, I hadn't thought of making" "well, maybe just a little one, eh?" "Heh-heh." "Heh." "Once again, SaIvio, that box is a marvelous piece of work." "Gracias, Don Diego." " You're leaving?" " With your permission, Father." "I have an appointment." "Eugenio." "Stay away from her." "Find yourself a nice girl of your own age before something happens." "Buenas noches, Father, and don't wait up for me." "Our young blacksmith is late tonight." " He'II be here." " He'd better." "That key goes out tomorrow." "This is our last chance to get an impression of it." "I know it." "Here he is." " Ah..." "Moneta." " You're late." "I know, I had a little trouble." " Oh, I don't mind waiting." " Oh, good." "I can't take you to see the lock and key tonight." "Oh?" "What's the matter?" "Aren't you permitted in the shop without your father?" "Of course I am." "It's just that the key has already been sent and Sergeant Garcia took the lock." "well, another time perhaps." "Get me some more wine, Eugenio." "Of course, Moneta." "Now what do we do?" " I don't know." " But we've lost the key." "I'II think of something." "There, that was the Iast one." "Citizens of Los angeles, you have seen your tax money placed in this iron box." "Heh." "And you know" "You know that the key that opens this lock is safely in the hands of the governor in Monterey." "The only key." "So now in a moment, when I close the Iock" "I" "Good work, SaIvio." " For you, sergeant." " No, please, no, SaIvio." "I do not trust myself." "You and Eugenio are the only two men in california" " who could have opened this lock." " Ha-ha." "We made it, sergeant." "So I think you should have the honor of placing it on the box." "That's a good idea, sergeant." " Sß." " Sß." "Everybody." "Everybody, over to the caisson." "SaIvio is going to put the lock on the box." "We'II get it." "Meet us later." " Did you get it?" " No." "But that was our only chance." "Get our horses." "We've got to get ahead of that caisson." " But why?" " Move." "I don't know why I did not think of this before." "We don't need that key." "We have a man who can make one for us." " Bueno." " Bueno." "Gracias." "Vamos." "Adelante." "Thank the heavens that is over with." " Sergeant, Iet's have some refreshments." " Of course, Don Diego, gracias." " Oh, would both of you care to join us?" " It would be an honor, Don Diego." "Come along, son." " hello, Moneta." " Buenas tardes, Eugenio." "I saw everything you did." "How carefully you filed the key." "And I was so proud of you." " Aren't you angry with me?" " Angry?" " You acted so strange last night." " On the contrary." "I was hoping you would take me for a ride in the country this evening." "Oh." "Oh." "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "We'II never get that box out of there." "We'II have to open it where it is." "Come on." " Those irons, are they hot enough?" " What about it, blacksmith?" "He asked you a question." "Answer him." "I cannot open the lock." "You're wasting your time." "I tell you I can't open it." "But I saw you." "The whole plaza did." "You saw my father." "I did nothing." "For weeks, I listened to you brag what a great Iocksmith you were." "How you can do anything your father can do." "I was trying to look important in your eyes." "He's lying." "My father told me what a fool I was making of myself." "Oh, I'm no Iocksmith." "We haven't much time." "When this box does not reach" " the relay station-- NAVA:" "I know, I know." "We'II have to get the old man out here." "Hey, my father's not so easily fooled as I am." "No, I don't think you can get him to take a moonlight ride with a senorita." " We don't need him." " We might." "Crispin, tie up our young blacksmith." "I'm going to Los angeles and get SaIvio." " will he come?" " He'II come." "I'II just tell him that one of his friends needs help." "And you know what?" "One of his friends does." "What a beautiful night." " At last, I can get some sleep." " Have you been having trouble sleeping?" "Oh, sß, Don Diego, with all that tax money around." " But now it is safely on its way." " That it is, sergeant." " well, buenas noches." " Buenas noches, Don Diego." "And to you, little one." "Hyah!" "SaIvio?" "Oh, the other man." "He's the one who tried to steal the key?" "well, that's very strange, Bernardo." "The man who made the key and the man who tried to steal the key riding out of town together." "I think we'II look into this." "Stop it." "Let him alone!" " Now are you going to open the box?" " Never." "Thief." " He's a tough old rooster, isn't he?" " Sß." "But we're going to find out just how tough." "No." "I am a blacksmith, senor." "I have been burned before." "Sß, you have, old man." "But has he?" "Your son is a very handsome boy." "At the moment." "No, don't touch him." "Then you will open the box?" "Sß." "That's better." "Father, don't make the key." "Let them do what they want to me." "They're gonna kill us anyway, so don't open the lock." "You heard what my son said, senor." "We'II see what he says when he gets a taste of this." "No." "Here, try mine." " Senor Zorro, my son?" " Here I am, father." "Ha-ha." "Go, join your friends, senorita." " Now, you two don't need me anymore." " No, senor." "We can take care of the thieves, and return the money." "Sß." "A son working with his father can do many things." "Adiüs, amigos." "Adiüs."
