The Legend of Zorro (2005) Edit

A civil war is inevitable.

A count recently in from France.

A country blessed with limitless beauty.

A customary Spanish offering...

A land in the west.

A landslide in favour of statehood.

A man came to the house.

A name you share with your wife and son.

A vineyard is opening tonight. You're coming to the party with me.

A word of advice, de la Vega:

After 10 years of marriage, you cannot hide the truth from me.

After two glasses you can't taste anything.

After you came back from the cantina, you went for a swim.

Alejandro has come for peace of mind. I am obliged to give it to him.

Alejandro, you are being a pig headed fool.

Alejandro! For God's sake, why can't you leave me alone?

All of you!

All right, I'll tell you.

All right, that is enough.

All right. You cannot rot in this room forever.

All this talk of politics, you know how it bores me, Armand. Shall we dance?

Allow me to defuse an awkward situation.

Allow Zorro one last ride.

America.

America's gates have been thrown wide open...

An average bar of soap.

An explosion. Close to your chateau, in fact.

An urgent matter requires your attention at the hacienda.

And even worse, he does not know you.

And every time you interfere, you jeopardise her cover. Understand?

And for that, I'll take the deed to your rancho, with the Lord's gratitude.

And for what?

And how exactly does a flaming poker fit into your little theory?

And I'd remember a Mex breed dressed like a white man.

And it is my hope that we will finally call ourselves...

And it speaks to me now of a great darkness.

And now I send you out, a sheep amongst wolves.

And now...

And that's Tornado, right?

And the Lord shall expel them before you...

And what is through that door?

And who might that be?

And who more suited to the task than the woman he never forgot?

And you are...?

Another time. We have many guests to greet.

Are you all right?

Are you sure that this is the symbol you saw on the crate?

Are you sure?

Aren't you forgetting something, estupido ?!

Aren't you supposed to be in school?

Armand needed his land to build a rail road.

Armand went through there. We have to hurry.

Armand, good evening.

Armand.

Armand.

As a spy?

As if California could live without me.

As soon as we're gone.

As we speak...

As you said, Elena...

Be at the lobby at 8.

Before you do, my love, answer me one question.

Blanca.

Bonsoir, Marie. Armand is expecting me.

Brother Ignacio? What are you doing?

Brothers, you know my spirit is with you.

But America has one weakness:

But he died with God's name on his lips...

But I don't want to catch you breaking anyone out of jail again.

But I have to go. I must put Joaquin to bed.

But I think I should let my stomach settle first.

But it seems we have a fly in the ointment.

But none more stunning than my escort for the evening.

But science has shown us how to extract the glycerine...

But this is only the beginning. In three months...

But we risk antagonizing a sleeping giant if we fail.

But you told me to make sure you didn't sleep past 2 today.

But your mother was right.

Can I get you something to drink?

Citizens of San Mateo!

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Come on, now.

Come on.

Come on. Do you want a piece of me?

Consider her an acceptable loss.

Cook me something sinful.

Cortez!

Could you ? Could you ? Could you ?

Could you give me that back?

Count Armand...

Dad?

De la Cruz is the bartender who works at the saloon across the street.

De la Vega. Alejandro de la Vega.

Did you actually think...

Did you drop something? Or you just resting?

Do you know how lucky you are to have made it this far? Alive?

Doesn't everyone?

Don Alejandro.

Don't be rude, Felipe. I'm just dying to know how the lovebirds met.

Don't force me to embarrass you.

Don't let me interrupt the lesson, Father.

Don't let them hurt you.

Don't look at me like that. I know what you're gonna say.

Don't touch him!

Don't wait up.

Effervescent, yet tenacious.

Elena has portrayed you as a man of impeccable character.

Elena, I was right. Armand is not who you think he is.

Elena, I've been thinking and

Elena, listen to me.

Elena?

Elena?

Elena?

Elena.

Elena.

Elena...

Everyone, may I introduce...

Excuse me, sir. A gentleman is here to see you.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Family man like you might wanna keep his woman on a shorter leash.

Father Kin Jin Hoofer?

Felipe! You killed Felipe!

Fellow Knights of Aragon...

Finally we agree on something.

Fine.

Five rings, padre.

For 10 years, you have fought to give California its freedom.

For months, this vineyard has been a cover for its manufacture.

For the love of God, let's get out of this place.

For this?

Forgive me, Armand. I just had the sudden urge to step out for a puff.

French count, you say?

Friends, Californians.

Funny you should mention confession, padre...

Gentlemen, the Knights of Aragon...

Gentlemen...

Get him!

Get the boy!

God bless you, senor.

Good boy. Well done.

Good, because I have a little something for you.

Goodbye, Alejandro.

Goodbye, de la Vega.

Goodness me.

Got one thing in common. You gotta die to find either one.

Governor Riley. You honour us with your presence.

Grab that there, will you?

Guards!

Guillermo, Blanca, get in the house.

Guillermo, please talk to me.

Guillermo.

Have we met before, sir?

He always goes on business.

He asked her to marry him. She said yes.

He says he overheard McGivens gathering his men to go see Cortez.

He says it's important.

He's a peasant masquerading as a folk hero.

He's as ugly as his mother.

He's building a track to the vineyard.

He's going back to the hacienda.

He's going back to the hacienda.

He's not ready for another man in my life just yet.

He's planning something.

Hell, yes.

Help me out of here, and I'll get your mother back.

Help me! I'm too young to die! I got my whole life ahead of me!

Help me.

Here is a prophecy they wrote nearly 1000 years ago.

Hermano, be careful. Our future's in your hands.

Hey, boss.

Hey, hey! Cut it out! You had enough.

Hey! Hey! Come here.

Hold up.

How could I be so stupid?

How did you get in here?

How do you know this?

How do you know what he'd say'?

How kind of you.

How true.

Husband promises to quit, gullible wife believes him.

I already did.

I am honoured to be mentioned at all.

I am your father, little man. Don't talk to me like that.

I bless these rings in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

I can assure you of that.

I can handle her!

I can handle him.

I can't believe it's you. You're really Zorro.

I cannot believe it.

I cannot believe it. I cannot believe I fell for it.

I cannot imagine how it has changed.

I care for you too much to subject you to an evening of forced smiles, Elena.

I come to deliver the Lord's work against this vote.

I could not wait.

I don't have the time to argue with you.

I don't smoke. I said that to get rid of him so I can get rid of you.

I don't wanna go. I'm having so much fun.

I fear Guillermo Cortez was only the beginning...

I fear there may not be much of a Union left to join, governor.

I finally understand why you left me.

I had a wonderful time.

I have always listened to my heart.

I have failed everyone I ever loved.

I have not spent my nights out. I haven't even told Joaquin!

I have to know I am losing her to a better man.

I haven't voted yet.

I hope I do not repulse you with my unladylike habit.

I hope you and Tornado are very happy together.

I hope you're hungry.

I just got you out of jail!

I knew he was up to something.

I know it's sudden, given what you've just been through...

I know something that might help you.

I know you still love her. You said you'd do anything for her.

I know.

I love you.

I love you.

I mean, whoa. Look at him. He's huge.

I need at least one vice to keep in touch with sinners.

I pray that the other provinces have been as peaceful as ours.

I presume you have the deed...

I promise.

I promise.

I promise. Now

I removed them last night so you wouldn't catch pneumonia.

I said, over the hill to the governor's mansion!

I see. Well, thank you, Lupe.

I spy with my little eye...

I still don't know why they call it a wine tasting.

I suggest we play as they do in Slovenia.

I suppose we could have a late supper.

I take that as a compliment.

I tell you, de la Vega, women say they want one thing...

I The real question, Senora de la Vega is who are you?

I thought I could protect you by hiding the truth.

I thought you were a woman of vision.

I thought you were forbidden to drink. What the ?

I told you. He left early on business.

I trust you can find your own way out.

I want no mistakes.

I want to ask you something.

I want to be your wife, Armand.

I was trying to impress you.

I went looking everywhere for you. It's about Mom.

I will send you both to hell for this!

I will wait for you after your meeting.

I won't. I promise.

I would not want to ruin my dress.

I'd show it to you, but dinner's waiting.

I'll be returning to Europe shortly...

I'll hold you to that, Mr. McGivens. Otherwise you get nothing.

I'll keep the train from leaving. Go.

I'll make her want me back so badly, she will be weeping with desire.

I'll make sure he carves a Z on your backside. How's that sound?

I'll see myself out.

I'll see you at confession, my child.

I'm Agent Pike. This is Agent Harrigan.

I'm famished.

I'm glad you're not running for office against my husband.

I'm having a special meal prepared.

I'm just on my way to do the Lord's work.

I'm not going there to fight. I am going to reason with him.

I'm sorry, senor.

I'm sorry, you're too late. The polls have already closed.

I'm sorry.

I'm told he purchased it from Don Gallo's widow.

I'm told you arrived early.

I'm undercover.

I've been informed one of my shipping vessels is arriving tomorrow.

I've heard enough.

I've heard the name among the locals.

If business keeps up, we'll be able to pay you back sooner than we thought.

If God didn't hurl lightning, he'd surely carry one of these.

If I am going to be the lady of the house...

If I take your advice...

If she's compromised, she's of no further use.

If you didn't know me better than that, then you never knew me at all.

If you ever talk to me like that again...

If you have any respect for the relationship you shared with Elena...

If you please.

If you should have any questions, my address is on the letterhead.

If you truly want to impress me, invite me over for dinner tonight.

If you walk out that door, you are not sleeping here tonight.

If you wanna know, I need to know why you are living in sin with an evil count!

If you wish, I'll have him escorted out.

In that telegram, he claimed to be on the verge...

Involving them instead of exploiting them.

Is everything all right, boys?

Is it quail?

Is that a yes?

Is that what you think I do, huh? Order servants around all day?

Is there anything I can say to make you leave?

Is there something I can help you with, senor?

Isn't it possible our wives marry us...

It does?

It doesn't matter. They told me everything.

It is higher than, say, a duke?

It represents the Knights of Aragon...

It seems that's not all we have shared.

It was beneath you to marry a peasant like me.

It was on this desolate spot...

It wasn't my secret to keep. It belongs to all of us.

It'll take my boys two days to cover the quarter mile.

It's a definite maybe.

It's all right, I forgive you.

It's as if the whole world has moved onto one tiny island.

It's just a scratch.

It's Latin. It means one world.

It's unusual.

It's who I am, Elena. It's who I am.

It's who we are.

Joaquin de la Vega!

Joaquin de la Vega!

Joaquin, quick.

Joaquin, the world is a little more complicated than you think.

Joaquin! Joaquin! Joaquin!

Joaquin?

Joaquin? Joaquin!

Joaquin.

Joaquin. Joaquin, listen to me.

Joaquin. Joaquin. You are a genius, a genius.

Joaquincito, go back inside!

Kill him.

Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial quadrille.

Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Leave him out of

Let him be!

Let me do this on one knee so I can look up into your eyes.

Let's get to work, boys.

Let's hope the rest of California voted the same, huh?

Let's see how much your father truly loves you.

Let's speak in Spanish, the language of our fathers.

Like my father used to smoke.

Like nothing I have ever seen.

Listen to me, you backwards ass frog...

Listen, California won't really be a state for another three months.

Listen, if Zorro were here, he'd tell you fighting isn't always the answer.

Listen, Joaquin.

Live my life as a wealthy don? Order servants around all day?

Look at Joaquin. You're growing up so fast.

Look at little José. Poor thing.

Look at you. A real heartbreaker, huh?

Look me in the eyes and tell me that is not true.

Look, I know what you're thinking Elena. Elena, listen, listen.

Looking at two of the ugliest guys I've ever seen.

Lord Dillingham.

Lots and lots of it.

Love endures day by day...

Love endureth, for it keeps no score of wrongs.

Love is patient

Mama!

Master, a word?

May I present my wife, Mary.

Maybe I'll just take my suitcase.

Men like that usually find their way to the guillotine.

Might one of you be Don Alejandro de la Vega?

Monsieur and Madame Lupon.

Mount up, boys.

Move it. Move it. Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

My countrymen find that troubling.

My family is my life.

My family is my life.

My God, you're turning green.

My goodness, I must have dozed off and your dogs startled me.

My mother won't believe this!

My whole life is a party. Thank you, no.

My wife, my son and now the people too!

Naturally.

Neither do you.

Never a good sign.

Next time he will be.

Nitroglycerin.

No matter what choice I make, it's always the wrong one!

No matter where you go, Armand...

No more exploitation of the peasants by the rich...

No, because you do not think. Get out before somebody sees you.

No, he wouldn't, he doesn't care.

No, here is me, here is quitting. We're this far apart. Elena.

No, I don't think he forgot.

No, it isn't. There's right and wrong.

No, it would be better if you didn't tell your mother about this.

No, no, don't twist my words. People still need Zorro.

No, no, no, not that. After.

No, no, no. No, no, no. I am not missing anything.

No, no, no. You need Zorro.

No, no. On the contrary, you fascinate me.

No, you don't. You never been in a fight in your life.

No,no,no.

No!

No! Armand, no!

No! Guillermo!

No?

No.

No.

No.

No. No, I came here to lift your spirits, not to dampen them.

Nobody leaves my tequila worm dangling in the wind!

Now I will give you something to laugh about.

Now keep your promise and go.

Now that we have the deed, will the track be completed on time?

Now we can take Joaquin to a trip to Spain.

Now, go.

Now, I think you should go!

Now, if you'd be kind enough, hand me that box, I'll be on my way.

Now, that doesn't seem equitable. I have rights too.

Now, why aren't you in school?

Now...

Of course. Down the hall.

Of course. I have to pick up Joaquin.

Of course. I understand.

Of course. Your children require attention.

Oh, Elena, you're overreacting.

Oh, he's a delight. Rich, good looking and royalty.

Oh, how nice. You were reunited so he could finish.

Oh, it's rather common, actually. Much like a don.

Oh, Joaquin. You should not be so hard on your father.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, don't look up.

Oh, no. I won't tell you what I know until you tell me what you know.

Oh, really? Says who?

Oh, there's a vendor.

Oh, this hat. It's breathtaking.

Oh, you remembered. How thoughtful.

On second thought, who needs another hat?

Once California joins the Union, the Confederate states'll be outnumbered.

One?

Only by turning the power onto itself shall the serpent survive.

Or an independent woman held captive by her husband's secrets?

Or don't bother coming to confession, because I'll never forgive you.

Or his perfume, perhaps.

Or should I say a fox. Zorro.

Orbis unum.

Orbis unum.

Orbis unum.

Orbis unum. Yeah.

Our country must be protected, de la Vega, without apology.

Over the hill to the governor's mansion.

Padre, what if Zorro comes?

Padre.

Padre's dead and the kid's a witness.

Pearls.

People like your ex wife.

Perhaps a game of croquet would be less hazardous to your health.

Perhaps they thought you were someone you're not.

Perhaps we can settle this like gentlemen.

Perhaps we could meet for breakfast?

Perhaps you can tell the class what statehood means to you.

Perhaps you just can turn around, eh?

Perhaps you should wear lipstick if you're gonna act like my mother.

Phineas Gendler, attorney at law. I'm here on behalf of your wife.

Piety is a long standing tradition in my family.

Pigeon.

Please try and understand, Armand.

Please, excuse me a moment.

Please, senor. This land is all we have.

Please!

Please.

Please. Not in front of Joaquin.

Private chapel.

Promise me when you lose you will leave us alone.

Put some more here now.

Quite harmless in its current form.

Really?

Really? From whom?

Really? Then why are you still wearing his necklace?

Received word of successful explosive test.

Remove his mask.

Respects to you, officer.

Right here.

Rumour has it they invented it to avoid bathing.

Run!

Salvation...

Say the word and I'll escort you home.

Says him.

Scorcher of a day, ain't it, kids?

Sefior, as a gentleman, I am obliged to teach my son to turn the 0

Shall I purchase it for you?

Shame about your friend the padre.

She agrees to help us...

She had a son.

She's going to the vineyard.

She's the one who wanted me to live a lie.

Shoot him!

Since when did you start caring what I think?

Since when do politics bore you?

So do you.

So he sits around with friends counting money.

So he'll grow up to be a nice little aristocrat...

So I have a bad memory. What does that prove?

So I promise I will never lie to you again. Never.

So let me understand this.

So tell me, count, what does your title rank among noblemen?

So the devil will know who sent you.

So we needed someone who could gain his trust.

So you are the good guys?

Soap?!

Sol beg you...

Some believe they are the masters behind all the kings in Europe...

Some colleagues of mine are arriving from Europe this evening.

Something I should've asked you many years ago.

Soon we will both be free.

Spanish, nifio, Spanish, and this isn't a game.

State your business, McGivens.

Stay back! Or I break the kid's neck!

Stay there!

Stinky...

Stop making excuses. Why do you keep picking fights?

Take out your notebooks

Take this to the governor.

Talk to me!

Tasty, is it'?

Tell me we are free.

Tell me we won.

Ten minutes, then I'm going.

Thank God...

Thank you so much, Marie.

Thank you, Marie.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you...

Thanks for the advice. But no.

That was absolutely delicious.

That you do not know your own son.

That your enemies have not discovered who we are?

That's an easy one. Mister Brother

That's what America means to me.

The cargo must be brought here safely.

The carving is beautiful.

The deed, if you please.

The devoted wife of a wealthy don?

The divorce was your idea, wasn't it?

The drinks are on me.

The federal marshals may need help...

The latest model in heavy artillery, the Henry repeater.

The man with the scar on his face.

The meeting may run late.

The nitro has been concealed in these bottles...

The only question is, who will claim victory?

The only way I could bear your touch was to imagine you were Alejandro.

The promise of a country by the people, for the people!

The shipment arrives at Maderas Cove.

The threat of civil war, my dear.

The United States of America.

Then perhaps I can stay.

There shall be a land in the west of great power...

There you are.

There's nothing on earth I wouldn't do for you or your mother. Understand?

They are calling you.

They are divided by North and South.

They said they are not selling, sir.

They want to destroy it.

They were held up, governor. I offered my help.

They'll anchor off Maderas Cove.

Think about my offer, or I'll be obliged to do the Lord's work.

Think of this as a vacation from the shackles of matrimony.

This belongs in a museum.

This dagger, Mr. McGivens...

This facility will provide a continuous supply of nitro...

This vineyard represents what I hope will become an industry...

Those men are killers.

Time to do the Lord's work.

To beg Elena's forgiveness.

To summon Zorro in case there's trouble.

To the victor go the spoils.

Today we have voted to join the Union as a free state!

Today you join in the fullness of time for all eternity.

Tomorrow our governor will be hosting a celebration here...

Tomorrow, a shipment of nitro will depart by train.

Trust me, I know him a lot better than you think.

Understand something:

Understood?

Unfortunate that it has to end.

Unless it is my pipe, of course.

Unless you come to confess...

Until California's statehood becomes official...

Very nice to meet you.

Vision. I could barely stomach the sight of you, Armand.

Wait here, won't you?

Wait, wait, wait. Armand is a knight?

Wake up. I haven't had to ring that bell in three months.

Watch your mouth.

We can post men near the gate in case we have to pull her out.

We can talk more about this later, all right?

We have our lives back.

We live in perilous times, Mr. de la Vega.

We prefer to think of it as a mutual understanding.

We really have to work on your English.

We shared a giggle at the buffet table.

We were never meant to be together.

We will be.

We will determine the outcome...

We'll be a family again.

We'll need the next batch now.

We'll rendezvous at Clanton's Pass.

We're both men of God.

We're free.

We're the Pinkertons. Operatives of the United States government.

We've already told you, we'll never sell.

Welcome to the Union, governor.

Welcome, children, to Bear Point.

Well, he is a don. And he meets with other dons...

Well, I'll give you 500 for it.

Well, now you have them, princess.

Well, perhaps I can wait in the parlour.

Well, you remember that Babylon was condemned to ashes...

What an honour. I've heard so much about you.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing in a bar?

What are you trying to tell me, huh?

What brings you here, colonel?

What do you really know about this man?

What do you want from me?!

What do you want?

What exactly does he do?

What happened to my clothes?

What happened to the woman who used to fight by my side?

What happened? Where are my men?

What I need is...

What if he puts up a fight?

What is his teacher's name?

What kind of weapon could do that?

What makes you think I will lose?

What the ?

What would you rather have me do?

What you have to understand is...

Whatever your heart desires.

Whatever. Who owns this vineyard anyway?

When did you start smoking a pipe?

When I said that we were never meant to be together, I meant it.

When the car stops, get off and follow the tracks back to town.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Where did you learn to do that?

Where is the bathroom? I would like to powder my cheeks.

Which is why, on occasion, we require certain individuals...

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who can tell me what this word means?

Who said my spirit needed lifting?

Who's looking after Joaquin while his mother spends her nights out?

Who's Zorro?

Why can't you give us ours?

Why didn't you tell me who you are?

Why don't you just tell Elena you were wrong.

Why not dine at your hacienda? I'd really like to meet your son.

Why not?

Why wasn't Papi at breakfast?

Why, I nearly forgot we were still married only three months ago.

Without my permission, I mean.

Woman's intuition.

Would a demonstration put your mind at ease?

Yea, seeketh tolerance when easily provoked.

Yeah. We're to stay put.

Years ago, in Spain. We were at finishing school together.

Yes, he does.

Yes, what are you talking about?

Yes!

Yes?

Yes.

Yesterday he forgot about me.

Yet somehow it's all becoming clear.

Yet somehow it's all becoming clear.

You and your men can assume control of the train there.

You are early, madame. The count is still indisposed.

You are missing your son's entire life.

You are more like him than you think.

You are not hungry?

You are one blind Mexican. You don't know what you're getting yourself into.

You are the son of Zorro. You can do it.

You blackmailed Elena to lure in the count

You can fall to your knees and beg me to take you back.

You can tell me.

You can't be in jail! How can you be in jail?! You gotta stop her.

You cheated, so I take it back.

You didn't even fight to keep Mom.

You do play polo, I take it?

You don't deserve Mom.

You don't have to answer now...

You don't understand. Sometimes you have to fight.

You forgive me'? No, no. I forgive you. You!

You know, I think I like this game.

You know, Zorro could be anyone at all.

You made a promise.

You may feel differently when you see how Joaquin enjoys...

You may now kiss the bride. Again.

You mean that cheek?

You mean this?

You must tell me how you met.

You really showed that son of a bitch.

You remember what you said the day Joaquin was born?

You should see New York, Alejandro.

You think your pappy's gonna crow, little man? Or is he gonna cluck?

You were.

You? I would not be in this mess if you had kept your mask on.

You.

You.

You. You are the one not acting like yourself.

You'd blackmail my soul, eh?

You'd only force the people to vote again.

You're de la Vega.

You're lucky Father Quintero didn't throw you out for good.

You've become nothing more than a common woman...

You've lost it all.

Your ex wife may be on the verge to answer that question.

Your father asked me to pick

Your father should have been there.

Your father would have a heart attack if he knew what you did.

Your help.

Your men have two days, Mr. McGivens...

Your saddle is getting a little too tight, amigo.

Your son.

Your speech was incredibly moving, count.

Your stepfather would be ashamed.

Your wife.

Zorro is a relic of the past.

Zorro! Zorro, Zorro!

Zorro! Zorro!

Zorro! Zorro! Zorro!

Zorro! Zorro! Zorro!

A fine city. Country.

A Pipe? “A Pipe.

Alejandro, time to go. Elena, please.

Alejandro. Elena.

And you take him? If I must.

Blanca. Hello.

Bring it here. No, Guillermo, don't!

Come on! Let's move!

Count. You know each other?

Dad? Yeah?

Do you want her back? Of course I do.

Does it? Never!

Elena... And New York.

Follow me. Always.

For what? Everything you put me through.

Good. I'm enjoying single life. Is that supposed to make me jealous?

Guillermo Cortez is dead. What?

I have to go alone. What?

I have to talk to you about last night. I forgive you. Goodbye.

I know about the Pinkertons. How?

I saw something in the forest. What are you talking about?

I'm overreacting? Yes.

Is she okay? No. I mean, yes, but no.

Keep going. What are you doing?

Keep your voice down! Congratulations, Your Highness!
