"(INDIANS SHOUTING)" "Buffalo Bill, you are truly the king of showmen." "This Wild West Show is a fake." "Who are you?" "The name's Oakley, but you can call me Annie." "Let me go!" "(WOMAN SCREAMS)" "We must get that boy." "BOGG..." "We travel through time to help history along, give it a push where it's needed." "Bogg!" "BOGG..." "When the Omni's red, it means history's wrong." "Our job's to get everything back on track." "(OMNI DINGS)" "Green light, kid!" "We did it!" "JEFFREY:" "These landings start to get to you after a while." "BOGG:" "Hard landings are an occupational hazard." "We had a saying in voyager school," ""It's not where you land, but how you land that counts."" "SOLDIER:" "Take cover!" "You're going to get yourselves killed!" "Is that guy talking to us?" "Hurry!" "They're..." "It's a tank, kid." "You're Americans?" "Sort of." "What's the year?" "SOLDIER:" "Well, you nearly got yourselves killed out there." "(BEEPING) 1917." "You're British?" "Yes, but very far away from home." "I'm afraid I shall never see England again." "I wouldn't be too sure about that." "The English are gonna win this war against Germany." "Yeah, well, not with half our bloody army fighting a revolution here in Russia." "This is Russia?" "(BEEPING)" "Yeah, 1917." "And we got a red light." "This is all messed up." "You don't have to tell me that." "We're outnumbered on all fronts and winter's closing in." "The supply lines are cut off so I can't offer you any food to eat." "I haven't had anything to eat for three days." "I got some beef jerky here." "It's not much but it might hold you until your supplies get here." "Oh." "(EXPLOSION)" "Is England supposed to be fighting in the Russian Revolution?" "I think England sent some troops to Russia, but not till 1918." "Not until the war was over." "If we wait, the revolutionaries would surely depose the czar." "It would be bad enough if it were only Alexandra's life at stake." "Who's she?" "That's the Czar Nicholas' wife and Queen Victoria's granddaughter." "If only Queen Victoria hadn't allowed her other granddaughter to marry that Russian." "What Russian?" "Well, the Queen betrothed Princess Victoria to Duke Michael of Russia." "And he's the one who got England involved in the Russian Revolution?" "That's right." "And with the lives of two English princesses at stake, we're only bound to fight." "(GRUNTS)" "We got to stop those marriages." "No, just one of them." "Alexandra's supposed to marry Czar Nicholas." "Then it's Princess Victoria and her duke who won't be hearing wedding bells." "SOLDIER:" "Blimey!" "(EXCLAIMING)" "(PLUMMETING)" "BOGG:" "You okay?" "Yeah." "(INDIANS SHOUTING)" "But Omni's not." "We're back in America." "It must be the 1850s." "(BEEPING) Uh-uh." "BOGG: 1887." "You sure?" "Yeah, I'm sure." "Well, it's definitely the Wild West." "(INDIANS SHOUTING)" "(BEEPING)" "England." "No way." "Well, look for yourself." "England, 1887, and we got a red light." "Bogg, it's a runaway." "BOGG:" "Stay put, kid." "(INDIANS SHOUTING)" "Help!" "Help me." "Grab on, sonny." "CONSTANTINE:" "Daring woman." "DUKE:" "Don't be ridiculous, Constantine." "It's all a fake." "Whoa, whoa, easy." "Thanks, what is all this?" "And who are you?" "The name's Oakley, but you can call me Annie." "Get off of my stage!" "You okay?" "Yeah, thanks to Annie Oakley." "BOGG:" "Hey, kid, I don't think they had castles in the Wild West." "And I don't think they had cowboys and Indians in England either." "What's going on here, Bill?" "He ruined everything." "Some recovery, huh?" "Buffalo Bill?" "Sure." "Buffalo Bill Hickok." "Pleasure to meet you." "The name's Cody." "Buffalo Bill Cody." "Cody?" "He's thinking of Wild Bill Hickok." "Yeah." "Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill, natural mistake." "Buffalo Bill Cody rode for the Pony Express and was an Army scout." "That's right, son, and helped settle the entire American Frontier." "But he can't manage his own Wild West Show." "Next time there's a change in the act, let me know." "I didn't change anything." "I don't know who they are." "They just dropped out of nowhere." "QUEEN:" "Will someone please let us out of this carriage?" "Oh, no, the Queen." "BOGG:" "They didn't have queens in the Wild West, did they?" "No, but Buffalo Bill's Wild West show did tour all over Europe." "And if this is England, 1887..." "Here, let me help you down." "Watch your step, Your Highness." "Oh, it was wonderful." "Simply wonderful." "That's Queen Victoria." "BOGG:" "Now, all we have to do is find the princess." "Princess Victoria, let me help you." "BOGG:" "Bingo." "Mr. Cody, my granddaughter and I enjoyed ourselves immensely, didn't we, Victoria?" "Oh, yes, it was all very exciting." "Now please introduce us to those wonderful performers of yours." "Weren't they wonderful, Your Majesty?" "(WHISPERING) Give me names." "Phineas Bogg, Jeffrey Jones." "Bogg and Jones." "My two latest discoveries." "Brought here at great expense from the prairies of the great American West." "Especially for the Queen's golden jubilee." "Buffalo Bill, you are truly the king of showmen." "DUKE:" "Buffalo Bill is a fraud." "Mr. Cody and his accomplices make a mockery of the Queen's Jubilee." "Why, Duke Michael, how do they mock our Jubilee?" "That's the Russian duke, we have to stop him from marrying the princess." "That's trouble." "Bet on it." "This Wild West Show is a fake." "Our show is 100°% authentic." "It's a tribute to the brave men and women who risked their lives to tame the American West." "DUKE:" "And I suppose this arrow is authentic." "It's a re-enactment of those courageous men's deeds." "No one can deny the courage in which these deeds were portrayed." "Yes, Duke." "Why his performances were full of dangerous feats." "And it was thrilling when Mr. Bogg jumped on the carriage and brought it to a stop." "Your Mr. Bogg is nothing more than a prop." "Here is the man who steered your coach to safety." "I believe it's called a hidden driver." "Look, mister, jumping onto a moving wagon is dangerous." "That's right." "In fact, Annie's supposed to do it in the show and it's a difficult stunt." "Too difficult for a woman, it seems." "Nothing's too tough for Annie." "She can ride as good as any man I've ever met." "And nobody can touch her shooting." "If Miss Oakley is such a good shot, perhaps she would like to engage in a shooting match?" "Testing your skills against mine?" "At targets, of course." "You got it." "Tomorrow, at 12:00." "I'll be there." "Oh, this is delightful." "Now, we'll have another exhibition, and then I shall announce my granddaughter's betrothal to the Duke." "It will be a grand day, won't it, dear?" "(CHURCH BELLS RINGING) Yes, Grandmother." "JEFFREY:" "Not if we can help it." "And, oh, yes, it's time for tea." "Mr. Cody, you and your magnificent troupe will join us." "Your Majesty, we would be honored." "I think that would be a lapse of decorum." "Good." "Lately, I've been up to my corset in decorum." "Wow, you clobbered him." "Sorry, Duke." "DUKE:" "It's perfectly all right." "I'll get my revenge tomorrow." "What are these?" "Crumpets." "Do you like them?" "Yeah." "You make them yourself?" "No." "I never learned how to cook." "For the last 50 years, I've been busy ruling the empire." "Yeah, I guess working women like us got to give up something." "Imagine me, sipping tea with the Queen and a gentleman like the Duke." "Yes, well, it's an experience I'm sure they won't soon forget either." "Mr. Cody, may I trust you with a confidence?" "Why, sure." "The Duke must win that match tomorrow." "Well, nobody likes to lose." "If the Duke loses, so does Russia." "Now, how do you figure that?" "Mr. Cody, the Duke must appear manly, noble, an appropriate Russian consort for the English Princess." "As a man of the world, surely you can understand the damage to the Duke's reputation if he were to be beaten by a young girl like Miss Oakley." "Annie's a very good shot." "She even beat me, once or twice." "(EXCLAIMS)" "But the fates of nations do not rest on your victory." "International alliances are not destroyed by your defeat." "Yeah." "Well, I'll be rooting for the Duke all the way." "I'm afraid that won't be enough." "We would like you to make sure Miss Oakley loses the match." "But I must marry the Duke." "You can't just rush into a thing like marriage." "This union has been arranged for quite some time." "But you could do a lot better than him." "Yes, Mr. Bogg." "There are other men I might prefer." "Oh, what does it matter who I marry?" "It's only my unhappiness at stake." "It matters, all right." "You'd be surprised how many other peoples' happiness depends on the man you choose." "Would it really matter to you who I marry?" "Sure, I would." "I mean, I want you to marry the right man." "I mean..." "Oh, Phineas, what a wonderful day." "And riding in that stage today, oh, it was quite a thrill." "But tomorrow, my life continues in its tidy little course." "When the Queen announces my betrothal to the Duke." "Do you love him?" "No, but love's not the reason I'm marrying the Duke." "Well, why then?" "Grandmother feels that alliance with Russia will strengthen England." "And my marriage to the Duke will make that alliance." "Well, can't you just say no?" "A woman ought to have the right to choose her own husband." "A princess has many privileges, but few freedoms." "As hard as I may wish it, I'm not like Annie." "I'm not an ordinary woman." "BOGG:" "Well, one thing is for sure, the Princess does not want to marry him." "JEFFREY:" "She may not have to." "The aide said the betrothal might not come off unless the Duke wins the match." "That's not much to hang our hats on." "Right." "Buffalo Bill did ask Annie to throw it." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Something about the Duke being humiliated in front of the Queen if Annie wins." "What's so humiliating about losing to Annie?" "Everybody knows what a good shot she is." "In 1887, women weren't supposed to beat men at anything." "So Annie beats the Duke, and the Queen gives back the Princess' hand." "Unless Buffalo Bill talks her out of winning." "That's all we got." "So we better make sure Annie's ready for that match." "BILL:" "Look, missy, I'm not asking you again!" "ANNIE:" "Good, 'cause I'm not gonna lose on purpose, no matter how many times you ask me!" "You'll do what I say." "And after I lose," "I suppose you want me to act like that silly little Princess and swoon into the Duke's arms?" "Well, I won't do it." "You'll do what's good for this show." "Buffalo Bill, right now I'm ashamed to even be part of your rotten show!" "Think she'll give in?" "Not if we can talk her into hanging tough." "So he says." "The Duke's got his pride and reputation to worry about." "Well, what about my pride?" "What about my reputation?" "I'll bet I've worked harder being a sharpshooter than he ever worked at being a duke." "All he had to do was get born." "He thinks he's always supposed to win just because he's a duke." "And Bill thinks he ought to win just because he's a man." "It's not fair." "You bet it isn't." "But when you're a woman living in a man's world, you learn real fast that fair's got nothing to do with it." "You learn you got to be twice as good as a man just to be considered equal." "You learn never to make a mistake, never to lose your temper, never to let down your guard." "Because somehow that one moment of just being human is gonna be used against you as a woman." "(SIGHS)" "No, it's been too hard a climb up to buckle under for some lousy duke now." "Gentlemen, if you will excuse us." "We'd like a word alone with Miss Oakley." "Whatever you've got to say, you say it in front of them." "Please, Mr. Bogg." "You heard the lady, we're not going." "Let me go!" "(ANNIE SCREAMING)" "(MUFFLED SCREAMS)" "Bogg." "We must get that boy." "Bogg, wake up." "Where's the Omni?" "Bogg, wake up." "The gun powder's gonna go." "(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)" "Got it." "Please, Omni, get us out of here." "(PLUMMETING)" "(GRUNTS)" "Bogg?" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "We got to go back and help Annie." "We got a red light here." "(BEEPING)" "Africa, 40 miles south of the equator, 1913?" "Those Russian guys were sure big and gnarly." "You ain't seen nothing yet." "Looks like we jumped out of the frying pan right into the fire." "(DRUMS BEATING)" "Chief Nogonde is no better." "The worm burrows here." "The white missionary has failed." "His medicine has failed!" "He cannot cure, he cannot heal!" "Massandi speaks the truth." "Your Chief Nogonde is very sick." "But there is still hope he can be saved." "All your magic has done nothing." "A witch doctor cannot cure without his charms." "I cannot help your chief until my medicines arrive." "We have waited and Chief Nogonde grows weaker." "My men will be here." "You will stay until they do." "Dr. Schweitzer, as Chief Nogonde lives or dies, so shall you." "Uh-oh." "You know what's wrong?" "Are these your men?" "SCHWEITZER:" "No." "But their skin is white." "Is every man with black skin part of your tribe?" "You are not his friends?" "No, but we're not his enemies either." "In fact, we're nobody's enemies." "What are you doing here?" "If you know anything, now's the time to speak up." "Dr. Schweitzer?" "Yes." "Did the hospital send the medicine with you?" "No." "If they are not from the hospital, they must be slavers from the timber camp." "We're not slavers!" "Keep them apart from our people." "Their poison has spread far enough amongst us." "Do not take your eyes off the white man until I return." "JEFFREY:" "We're not going anywhere." "BOGG:" "You got it." "Who are you two?" "You're really not slavers?" "No way!" "These guys aren't real friendly, are they?" "They have good reason to be wary." "White men from the timber company have been terrorizing the villages." "No offense, Doc, but you're not the most popular guy around here either." "Bogg, this is Dr. Schweitzer." "Schweitzer, right." "Albert Schweitzer." "Winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace." "He dedicated his whole life to helping the people of Africa." "You must have the wrong person." "I've only been here a short while, hardly long enough to help anyone." "Now it seems I may not get the chance." "Don't worry, Doc, we'll get you out of here." "No!" "What, you don't want to be rescued?" "No, I don't want to seem ungrateful but I must stay." "Why?" "Because, if I am to help these people with medicine," "I must have the confidence of all the tribes." "If Nogonde, their leader, dies, the drums will spread the word all up and down the Ogowe River that medicine has no power." "Then all these people will be left with is the witch doctor and his charms." "But your medicine does work." "Of course." "Nogonde has amoebic dysentery." "I could cure him with emetine if I had the drug here." "But our canoe was capsized by hippopotamus on the way up river." "I lost all the supplies I had on hand." "Is there a hospital nearby?" "I sent one of my men back to the hospital in Lambaréné for more of the drug, but he hasn't returned yet." "Then maybe he's lost." "Yeah, there's lots of wild animals out there." "No, Joseph was born here." "He taught me all I know about the jungle." "He will come back with the medicine." "If he doesn't and the Chief dies, you're gonna be in big trouble." "I have faith in Joseph and in God." "Maybe I can give him a little help." "Joseph, I mean." "What are you going to do?" "Find Joseph." "Bogg, that's a big jungle out there." "Do you know what trail he would have taken?" "I think so." "Can you give me a map?" "Yes." "But even if you did escape, these warriors are excellent trackers." "Well, somebody's got to try it." "Forget it, Bogg." "Look at these guys." "You'd never even get out of the village." "They never take their eyes off us." "Unless, we could give them something else to look at." "Like what?" "Like magic." "They don't call me The Amazing Jeffrey for nothing." "Do you want to see it again?" "Yeah, do it again." "Watch." "Very impressive." "Not bad." "You learned that in a school play?" "Got lots of them." "Are they watching yet?" "They're beginning to get interested." "How do you do it?" "A magician never reveals his secrets." "BOGG:" "I think they're beginning to bite." "All right, show us another one." "One by the fire." "Now, watch my hand." "JEFFREY:" "Are they watching?" "SCHWEITZER:" "Yes, keep going." "Is Bogg gone yet?" "He's going, but let's give him some more time." "Do it again." "Okay." "Watch very closely." "Open your hand." "Open your hand." "Your magic is as false as your medicine." "The other one, he's gone!" "We've got to get him back before he gets to the other slavers." "After him." "After him!" "He'll be back, he'll bring the medicine to save your chief." "He will bring more white men with guns." "No." "Why should we believe you after you've tricked us?" "The white man has betrayed us again." "Take them!" "No, don't hurt the boy." "He is no threat to you." "Remember, Dr. Schweitzer, your life now hangs by the same thread as Chief Nogonde." "(HISSING)" "BOGG:" "Sorry, I can't hang on." "Do you think Bogg has a chance out there?" "I hope so, for Nogonde's sake." "He's a good, strong leader." "Maybe he can talk to Massandi, make him understand." "Unfortunately, Massandi is right, in his own way." "For every illness I can cure, contact with the white man brings a new disease." "The timber industry has caused terrible famine, terrible." "We do have much to answer for." "We can't just sit here." "Isn't there some other kind of treatment you can try?" "I'm afraid not." "We got to do something." "Yes." "We must do the hardest thing a young man has ever been asked to do." "Wait." "(DRUMS BEATING)" "RAPP:" "Hear those drums?" "Somebody's in big trouble." "You stay low, while I check the waterhole." "We might be able to pick up another half a dozen volunteers before we head back." "Hurry up." "I'll keep an eye on this bunch." "Sit down, boy." "I told you my name is Joseph." "I said sit!" "Now, that's much better." "You know, can't figure it." "What tribe dresses its warriors like that?" "I am not a warrior." "I work for Dr. Schweitzer, and I need to..." "You need to get some medicine to him." "I know, you told me." "And that's all I want to hear about it." "You're not Schweitzer's boy, anymore." "You're a timber worker now." "You're gonna get up early and work hard for your food, like the rest of your friends." "You know, I don't see how he can work for Schweitzer and you at the same time." "What the..." "Back off!" "What are you doing?" "You're one of us." "I may be white, but I'm definitely not one of you." "You got the medicine?" "Yes, but the drums say the doctor will die with the chief." "Nobody's gonna die if we get it there on time." "Untie them." "(WHIPS)" "Untie them!" "Okay, okay." "(DRUMS BEATING)" "There they go again." "What are they saying?" "They're saying that Chief Nogonde is very near death." "And the white doctor is going to share his fate." "We could have had an equal share." "You know, the kind of money you just let get away." "Yeah, the kind that makes your hands dirty." "Come on, we got to get that medicine back to the village." "He came up at me from behind." "Hegson, where are the others?" "He let them go." "Well, then he'll just have to help us find them again." "Won't you?" "Does it have to be the four I freed or would any four do?" "As long as they're strong and healthy, any four'll do." "(LAUGHS) Good." "Well, how about the four right behind you?" "How stupid do you think I am?" "You're pretty stupid, if you don't drop that rifle." "What's wrong with you?" "I always wanted to do that." "They don't appreciate all the sacrifices you're making for them." "You could be back in your own house right now." "Instead of sitting here and waiting if you're going to live or die." "Sacrifice, huh?" "I do miss Germany." "But Africa has become my heart's home." "For it is here I have learnt the true meaning of, "Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben."" "What does that mean?" "Reverence for life." "You mean like, not killing unless you have to?" "The idea loses much in the translation." "No, it means having respect for life, all life." "No matter how small or how different that life might be from our own." "It demands each of us give up a small part of our lives for others." "Do you understand?" "Huh?" "Yeah." "I think so." "(SIGHS)" "Chief Nogonde has dropped into the dreamless sleep." "He's dead?" "No, it means he's in a coma and quite close to death." "Dr. Schweitzer, you must die now." "Why?" "The spirits demand a soul." "Perhaps they will be content with a soul other than Chief Nogonde's." "That's not fair!" "You're just a lousy witch doctor." "You don't know anything about respect for life." "BOGG:" "Dr. Schweitzer, Jeff, we got the medicine." "Bogg!" "Doctor, are we in time?" "You may try." "What about the boy and Mr. Bogg?" "Release all the white men." "But beware, it will be unwise to test my mercy a second time." "I hope the Chief lives." "(DINGS)" "He does." "Green light." "Green light." "(SIGHS)" "Well, you saved the Chief and Dr. Schweitzer." "Yeah, he's quite a guy." "Yeah." "He told me all about this idea of his, reverence for life." "Oh, yeah?" "Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben?" "Yeah." "Come on, we got to rescue Annie from those Russian bears." "But we don't even know where they took her." "They haven't had time to take her to Russia, so I figure they got her someplace right here in England." "Bogg, England's a big place." "Yeah, so we better start searching." "As soon as I rustle up a couple of horses, we're on our way." "Go on, quit the show!" "She didn't quit, Buffalo Bill." "I'm afraid she did, son." "Quit and tried to burn the whole Wild West Show down besides." "You know, it wasn't very nice of you to ask her to lose, just so that Duke and his friends would keep coming back to your show." "Son, you've got to understand something." "My Wild West Show has made me a very rich man." "Kings and Queens ask me to tea." "The most beautiful women in Europe let me kiss their hand." "When I was scouting Indians for the Army, well, I was so poor and dusty, no woman would come near me." "Even the officers." "Didn't think I was good enough to eat in their tent." "I don't ever want to have to live that way again." "Well, now you're rich and famous." "You've got everything you ever wanted." "Yeah." "But I did lose one thing somewhere along the way." "What's that?" "My honor and the respect for other peoples' honor." "None of this would have happened if I had the guts to tell the Russians no in the first place." "Annie didn't start that fire." "It was started accidentally when the Duke's aide and his guys kidnapped her." "They kidnapped Annie?" "But I told the Russians they could talk to her." "Why those dirty..." "We've got to get Annie back!" "Come on!" "What are you doing with Benedict Arnold?" "Buffalo Bill's gonna help us rescue Annie." "Please, Mr. Bogg, let me go with you." "To redeem my honor." "Never mind, we've got to hurry." "It's almost 12:00, and we don't even know where to start looking." "BILL:" "Yes, we do." "You know where they took Annie?" "I got a pretty good hunch." "Where?" "The Duke and his pals are staying at a big spread outside of town." "That royal skunk invited me to dinner last night so he can console me about losing Annie." "Come on!" "Whoa, kid, you're not coming with us." "Why?" "'Cause you're gonna be at the castle." "Try and stall the match till we get there." "How am I supposed to do that?" "(SIGHS)" "Don't worry, you'll think of something." "ANNIE:" "You can dress up and talk fancy, but you're nothing but a lousy outlaw." "It's bad enough you taking me, but leaving that little boy and Mr. Bogg to get blown up like that..." "In fact, I'm not gonna sit still for this another second." "BILL:" "The barn's just up ahead." "That's the Duke's carriage." "Quick, behind the trees." "The Duke awaits me." "I must be on my way to the castle." "Don't look now." "In back of me up the road, there are two men on horseback." "They must not reach Miss Oakley." "Dispose of them as you would any enemy of mother Russia." "ANNIE:" "What?" "I won't eat it." "Torturing folks, trying to make me eat raw fish eggs." "(SPUTTERS)" "Well, it won't work with me." "I'm not gonna lose that match no matter what awful stuff you try and feed me." "Impressed, ain't you?" "DUKE:" "My opponent still has not arrived." "Buffalo Bill and Miss Oakley still have a few minutes before the match begins." "He'll be here." "I mean, Buffalo Bill wouldn't dare ignore a royal request." "You can't fool me, my little Princess." "You're just hoping Mr. Cody will bring back your friend." "Well, he was very brave and dashing." "And handsome." "Broad shouldered, strong, lean of limb." "Grandmother!" "I'm old darling, not dead." "Your Majesty, it's nearly 12:00 and Miss Oakley is quite obviously not coming." "Nearly 12:00 is correct." "What makes you so sure Miss Oakley will not be here?" "Well, I'm only anxious to proceed with the rest of the afternoon's agenda." "The sooner you declare this match forfeit, the sooner we might get on to other" "happier affairs." "I mean, after all, Your Majesty, the rules dictate." "Duke Michael, I dictate the rules." "We will wait a few more minutes." "(SCREAMS)" "(GROANING)" "(GRUNTS)" "(MEN SPEAKING RUSSIAN)" "The horses are outside." "You get to the castle." "BOGG:" "Go, Annie." "Go back to the castle." "Hurry up, go!" "Go on." "Let's go." "Get going, I'm right behind you." "I got to see the Queen, it's an emergency." "Please, you got to let me in, it's real important." "You see, Annie Oakley doesn't have the courage to face me in this match." "JEFFREY:" "She'll be here!" "Jeffrey?" "Please, Your Majesty." "Let the boy go." "Is Miss Oakley with you?" "No, but she's on her way right now." "What detained her?" "Maybe you should ask the Duke and his friend." "This boy is insolent." "They kidnapped her." "Why would the Duke do such a thing?" "The boy is obviously lying." "I'm not lying." "Then perhaps this is a story that you made up." "No, please, Your Majesty, you have to believe me." "I must believe the Duke." "JEFFREY:" "Why?" "A boy who tells a story can be forgiven, a man who kidnaps a woman, cannot be forgiven." "Your Majesty, it is now 12:00." "And since the Duke has no opponent, the Queen has no choice but to declare a forfeit." "Jeffrey, I must respect the rules of the match." "It was to begin at 12:00 sharp." "(CHURCH BELLS TOLLING)" "Okay, then let it begin." "Let the Duke take his turn first." "DUKE'S AIDE:" "This is ridiculous." "We should simply proceed with the betrothal." "I think Jeffrey's idea is splendid, Grandmother." "Duke Michael, please, take your turn." "And if, when you are done, Miss Oakley still has not arrived, then I shall be most happy to declare the forfeit." "(COCKING)" "(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)" "I'm afraid Miss Oakley is not going to get here in time." "Please, Your Majesty, if you'll just wait a few more minutes, I know she'll be here." "But we have to get on with the betrothal." "I'm very sorry, my darling, I can't put it off any longer." "(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)" "But I don't love him, Grandmother." "Close your eyes and think of England." "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "DUKE'S AIDE:" "Just take your time." "(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)" "Your Majesty." "Yes, yes." "We must get on with it." "Due to Miss Oakley's failure to appear," "I declare this match... (ANNIE SCREAMS)" "You did it." "BOGG:" "No, I didn't, kid." "Annie Oakley did." "Your Majesty, the match is over." "It's time for you to announce the Princess' engagement to the Duke." "You two no good cowards!" "Buffalo Bill, what's the meaning of this?" "These two good for nothings tried to get me to order Annie to lose this match." "That's a lie." "I wish it were." "But I'm ashamed to say I did ask her, and when she turned me down, these two fine gentlemen kidnapped her." "Jeffrey, can you forgive me for having doubted your word?" "Sure, Your Majesty." "You are more generous with me, than I shall be with the Duke." "Your Majesty, I know nothing about this." "My aide acted on his own." "You are responsible for any act committed in your name."
