" I ought to be on your head." "Ricardo del Amo, up to your old tricks again, eh?" ""Prepare to die." I thought I recognized your voice." " Scared you, didn't I?" " Yes, I thought I'd have to kill you." "What are you doing in Monterey?" "They run you out of San Francisco?" "That, my friend, is a Iong and fascinating story." " well, your stories usually are." " WeII" " No." " Ah." "But tell me." "You lie so well." "That is one of my better accomplishments." "I'm staying with my cousin at the beach." "Come back with me." "We can talk while I clean up." "I have a room here at the inn." " You can use that." " Bueno." "Bueno." "Whoop." "Forgot my knife." "You never can tell, I might meet another old friend." "One of these days, those practical jokes of yours will buy you some real trouble." "Diego, you couldn't be more wrong." "Leaving San Francisco was the best thing that ever happened to me." " I can imagine." " No, you can't imagine." " Uh, how do I thank him?" " Uh, just nod." "You see, coming down here on the stage, I met a senorita." "I'II amend that." "The senorita." "Diego, what a beautiful woman." "Skin like milk and just enough of it." "And her hair is as black as the night." "And her eyes..." " Oh, her eyes." " I hope she had two of them." "I'm serious." "Like two crystal pools in the moonlight." "Her disposition, honey, seasoned with spice." "You found all this in one senorita?" " Ah, sß." " And she's here in Monterey?" " She lives here." " well, that's very strange." "I've been here for some time, and I have not run across any such fabulous beauty." "Of course, uh, you couldn't be exaggerating, could you?" "On my grandfather's grave." "But you shall see for yourself tonight." "I am going to serenade her." "DIEGO:" "Oh, take my guitar." " No, mine's on my horse." " This is for you." " For me?" " You're coming with me." " But why?" " Diego, I'm in love." " well, you certainly don't need me, then." " well, you see, she has an uncle." " Oh, you, uh..." "You want me to serenade the uncle, huh?" "well, you see, he probably won't be there, but if he is, well, you're so well educated, so well traveIed" "AII right, all right, all right, I'II go with you." " On one condition." " Anything you say." " please, don't tell anyone you know me." " Why?" "well, people in Monterey, they-- They like me." "Diego, her room is up there."

" You never once told me her name." " would that have made any difference?" " Ah." " Your pardon, senores, but the Senorita Verdugo asks that you come into the sala." "well, Don Diego, it's been a great pleasure." "We must get together again sometime." "The senorita did say both of us, didn't she?" "Sß, senor." "Oh, well, she was just being polite." "Ha, ha." "Remember the uncle." "Oh, Ricardo, your song was lovely." "It made me very happy." "Then you have made me very happy." "Anna Maria, may I present my friend Senor de Ia Vega, who cannot stay very long?" "Diego, what a pleasant surprise." "You surprised me too." "I had no idea you returned." "ANNA MARIA:" "I arrived this morning." " You two know each other?" "What happened?" "Why didn't you write?" "Nothing happened, and I did write." "You'II probably receive a letter tomorrow." "Father's safely on his way to Spain." "I decided not to go with him and came back home." "I guess you do." " This isn't home." " No." "I'm giving the servants a few days to clean the house, and I'm staying here with my uncle and cousin MiIana." "A lovely girl, Diego." "You two would go very well together." "Do you know her?" "No, but any relative of yours must be beautiful, Anna Maria." "Gracias, Ricardo." "would you care to sit down?" " Now, isn't this more comfortable?" " Much more." "Anna Maria, is your, uh--?" "Is your uncle at home?" "No, he and MiIana went out to dinner." "Did you wish to speak to him?" " Oh, no, no." "I don't." "Uh, he does." " Oh, do you?" " well, I" " Yes, that's the reason he came." "He said to me, "Ricardo, if her uncle isn't there," "I'm going to leave immediately."" "Did you say that, Diego?" "well, I didn't know you were going to be here." "He deliberately didn't mention any names." "So the serenade was just for any girl who happened to be on the balcony?" "well, that's Diego for you." "You know, once in Los angeles, I tracked him 1 7 miles, following a trail of broken hearts that he left behind." "I don't believe that." "Why, you're not a ladies' man, are you, Diego?" "well, when you have known Senor del Amo a little Ionger" "Uh, I amend that." "When you've had the misfortune to know Senor del Amo a little longer, you will learn that you must take everything he says with a grain of salt." "AII the way from San Francisco, he kept telling me how lovely he thought I was." " Do you mean to say he was Iying?" " Now, try and get out of that one." "Ah." "AII right." "I surrender." "I am happy to see you back in Monterey." "But I'm very sorry to find that you did not come back alone." "well, buenas noches, Ricardo." "I'm sorry you have such a Iong ride ahead of you." " My cousin doesn't live that far." " That's too bad." "You know, I was thinking, Diego, about the three of us riding in the morning." "After all, you're here in Monterey on business." "I wouldn't like to think you were neglecting it." " well, that's very considerate of you." " Not at all." "What would you Iike me to tell Anna Maria?" "I'II tell her myself as we ride together in the morning." "Good night." "{DOOR CLOSES}" "Ha!" "You can't imagine it, Bernardo." "I Iooked up at the balcony, and there she was." "Did I tell you how beautiful she was?" "She was as lovely as ever." "Yes, I have a feeling that our stay in Monterey is going to be very pleasant." "{KNOCKING ON DOOR}" "Come in." "Buenas noches, Don Diego." "DIEGO:" "Ah, sergeant, I'm glad to see you." "I'm sorry to have disturbed you at such a late hour, Don Diego." "You weren't disturbing me." "I couldn't sleep." "Sit down, sit down." "Gracias, but no." "Sergeant, I want to tell you about a marvelous surprise I had tonight." "I am afraid you have one more surprise coming, Don Diego." "Oh?" "Uh, I have some unpleasant news for you, Don Diego." " Oh?" " Sß." "You are under arrest." "What did you say?" "I am sorry, Don Diego, but you are under arrest." " will you come with me now, please?" " well, am I a criminal?" "Oh, no, Don Diego, of course not." "only a horse thief." "well, that's very funny, sergeant, but you know the de Ia Vega hacienda has a hundred horses in Los angeles." "The charge is that you have one extra one here in Monterey." " A pinto." " You're serious." " Sß, Don Diego." "Senor Caesar." " Senor who?" "Senor Caesar, the man whose horse you stole." "I mean, the man who says you took his horse." " He's waiting at the garrison now." " well, Iet's go." "I want to hear Senor Caesar call me a horse thief to my face." "Gracias, Don Diego." "I think that would be best." "Come on." "There he goes." "That is the one." "Do you think we will need any more help?" "We can handle him." "Just don't arouse any suspicion until we get out of town." " AII right, where is Senor Caesar?" " I do not see him, Don Diego." " Oh, corporal Reyes." " Uh, sß, sergeant?" "I do not see Senor Caesar." "He's not here, sergeant." " That's why you don't see him." " Oh." " Thank you, corporal." " You're welcome, sergeant." "Baboso, come back here." "Now, where is he?" "Oh." "He had to step out for a minute." "He said for you to wait for him." "Why, this is ridiculous." "You know where to find me." "Don Diego, please, you must remain here." "I am under orders." "You are still under arrest." "Ah, Bernardo." "Oh." "Of course, little one." "Buenos dßas, Don Diego." "Did you sleep well?" "If you haven't come here to let me out, don't talk to me." "The little one, he brought you a nice breakfast." "You eat it." "Gracias." "No, I couId not do that, Don Diego." "It is yours." "I don't want it." "Now, are you going to let me out or not?" "You are my best friend, Don Diego, but..." "Look, I am a horse thief." "Now, how can I be your friend?" " please, I know you are not a horse thief." " well, then why don't you let me out?" "Eat your breakfast." "It will make you feel better." "well, if he will not eat it, little one, he will not eat it." "Uh, Iet's see what you brought him, eh?" "Heh-heh." "A sausage." "I have never seen a sausage so large." "Heh." "Are you sure you don't want it, Don Diego?" "Take it and stuff yourself." "Eh." "It would be a shame to let such a fine sausage go to waste, eh?" "{METAL CLINKS}" "Aah!" "well, I'm glad something amuses you, sergeant." "The little one, he put a file in your sausage." " At least he was trying to help me." " Ah..." "I would Iike to help you too, Don Diego, but my hands are tied." "There is a formal complaint." "Here, you can see for yourself." " It is signed "JuIius Caesar."" " JuIius Caesar?" " Ricardo." " Oh, no, Don Diego." "julius Caesar." "The signature is quite plain." "Oh, sergeant, can't you see this is a joke?" " A stupid practical joke?" " It is?" "julius Caesar was a Roman general." "What is he doing here in california?" "And without his uniform?" " He's not here." "He's dead." " He looked all right to me, Don Diego." " You must be mistaken." " Sergeant, are you going--?" "I suppose that this must be the place where they keep the criminals." " Here is Senor Caesar now." " Diego." "Now, now, don't get too close." "He might be dangerous." "Listen, del Amo, you get me out of here and then you start running." " What has happened, Diego?" " please, Don Diego, do not get excited." "Who's excited?" "I'II just kill him with my bare hands." " Very calmly, of course." " But why, Diego?" "Why are you here?" "well, haven't you heard?" "I'm a horse thief." " Senor Caesar" " Caesar?" " Uh, julius Caesar." " Sergeant, why?" "Now, tell me, why have you locked up my old friend Don Diego?" "well, you yourself signed the complaint, Senor Caesar." " Nonsense." " Your pardon, senor, but you did." "Oh, yes, yes, I signed this document." "But the Diego de Ia Vega who is a horse thief is a much taller man, by at Ieast 6 inches." "Sergeant, I think I am beginning to understand." " Ricardo, this isn't very nice." " Oh, well, I thought it was very funny." "Funny, eh?" "well, just wait till I get out of here." "I'm sorry, Diego." "But you look so indignant." "{ALL LAUGHING}" "AII right, all right." "I'm beaten." "But get me out of here, will you?" "Lancer, unlock the cell door." "You won't still harm Senor Caesar, will you?" "No, I'II, uh..." "I'II just, uh, cut him a little around the throat." " Use my knife." "I deserve it." " Put that knife away, you idiot." " Thanks for your hospitality, sergeant." " Anytime at all, Don Diego." "I mean, uh, adiüs, Don Diego." "You know what I mean." " Senor Caesar, as for you" " Adiüs for me too, sergeant?" " My friends are waiting." " well, this time." "But I warn you, in the future, do not use the king's soldiers for one of your jokes." " I promise, sergeant." " For what it's worth." "I have more to say to you, senor, but today is the day I must deliver the payroll to the southern presidios." "Adiüs, Senorita Verdugo." " Don Diego." "Senor." " Senor." "{ANNA MARIA LAUGHING}" "Go." "ANNA MARIA:" "Diego, is something the matter?" "No, no, no." "There's still time to go riding." "while you go change your clothes, you go get his horse." " Me?" " You heard me." "Whoa." "Whoa." "That Army payroll will be 10,000 pesos if it is 1 ." "LARIOS:" "Are you sure we can do it?" "PEREZ:" "easily." "They never send more than two soldiers with it." "We will just wait until they get far enough out of Monterey." "Come on." " Sergeant Garcia." " Senor Caesar." "Quiet, corporal, quiet." "Who do you want me to arrest now?" "Sergeant Garcia, you are going to be held up." " held up?" " Yes, I overheard two men talking." "They're going to try to rob you of the payroll." " What men?" " I don't know." " But you'd better be on your guard." " Oh, I will, Senor Caesar." "No, no, no, that is all a joke." "My name is Ricardo del Amo." "well, thank you for telling me, Don Ricardo." "Not at all." "Now, you will take care of everything?" "Oh, everything." "Adiüs, and gracias again." "Por nada." "corporal." "Where do you think you are going?" " To tell the comandante about the hoId-up." " What hoId-up?" "He just told you." "Didn't you listen?" "Don Ricardo was just playing a joke on us." " He was?" " Of course." "And I do not intend to become the victim of any more of his practical jokes." " Are you still riding with us, Ricardo?" " Ha, ha." "He's behaved himself." "In fact, he's been quite sweet." "well, that's when he's the most dangerous." " Eh." "Everything seems to be all right." " well, I didn't have time." "What is it now, Diego?" "Uh, you ride on ahead." "I'II catch up with you later." "AII right." "Don't hurry on my account." "What's wrong?" "Yes, I know." "Sergeant Garcia's delivering the payroll today." "No, he doesn't need Zorro's help." "{HORSE WHINNIES}" "Somebody's coming." "Let's get the horses." "Sergeant, your back makes an excellent target." " Sergeant." " Yes, corporal?" "Let's go back to Los angeles." "well, what happened?" "We were held up, Don Ricardo, just as you said." " Are you all right?" " Sß, senorita." " well, did they take the money?" " Every peso." "well, what about the other soldiers?" "I told you, sergeant." "please, Don Ricardo, signal to your men to bring the payroll back, eh?" " What are you talking about?" " Pfft, a joke is a joke, senor." "This was not one of my jokes, believe me, sergeant." "You were held up." "We were?" "Heh-heh." " We were." " There they go, sergeant." "Anna Maria, you stay here." " Look, senorita." " Zorro." "Quick, corporal." "Go chase our horses." "They've already run away." "Where shall I chase them to now?" "Chase them from where they are back to where we are, stupid." "Senorita." "Senorita." " Are you all right, Ricardo?" " I'm fine, Anna Maria." "It is good to see you again, Senor Zorro." "I'm flattered that you remember me, senorita." "Uh, may I present Senor del Amo, a friend?" "Ricardo, this is el Zorro, also a friend." "Your pardon, senorita, but I must leave." "Sergeant Garcia will soon be here, and, well, we've had our differences." "I understand." "But my horse seems to have run away, Senor Zorro." "could you take me back to the hacienda?" "Anna Maria, I would be glad to take you home." "But the bandidos." "You must stay here until Sergeant Garcia arrives." " Do you mind?" " I would be delighted, senorita." "I'II see you tonight." "Adiüs, senor." "It's been very nice to meet you." "We shall meet again, senor." "CHORUS :" "Zorro, Zorro" "NARRATOR:" "Next week, a bold imposter masquerades as Zorro." "Diego, that can't be Zorro." "Do not move, Senor Zorro."
