Voila! Finally, the Shanghai Noon
script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Jackie Chan and Owen
Wilson movie. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Shanghai Noon. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally
tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. You won't
hurt my feelings. Honest.

[Woman] The princess nodded,
and the frog said,
"That which you have promised,
you must perform."
Very good.
Keep reading.
"So the princess leaned in
and kissed the frog,
" but as she did, he became
a handsome prince,
"and they rode off
to his kingdom,
where they lived
happily ever after. "
Happily ever after.
There's no such thing
as " happily ever after."
Not for a real princess.
The prince my father wants me
to marry will always be a frog.
My offer still stands.
I will help you get to America.
- [ Whispers ] America ?
-[Princess] That's very kind.
[Man] But we're running out of time.
I know of a ship bound for America,
but we must leave tonight.
- Leave tonight ?
- We must hurry, Princess.
Hurry, Princess.

Spent a lot of time on this.
Now, pay attention,
'cause I don't want any mistakes.
Now, I've calculated the speed of
the train and the speed of our horses.
We meet at this vector.
The only variable is the wind.
- Technically, if you travel
over here on the horses--
- Is this the train ?
All right. We're just gonna wing it...
like we always do.
- [ Chuckles ]
- Ride down, jump on the train,
hoorah the money, head back
to the cathouse, all right ?
- Mm-hmm.
- Let's go. Come on. Move out. Go !
You okay ? Nervous ? It's all right
to be nervous when you're new.
You'll be okay.

He does.

he's a philanthropist.
He helps Chinese immigrants

Welcome to America,

if I do not bow.

I felt like all the other

Everyone was-- I just missed you.
I missed all of you.

Oh, thank heavens.
I thought you were a mirage.
- Oh, come on. Water.
- You.
- You killed my uncle !
- Bull !
That was Wallace
all the way.
- He was one of your bandits.
- He wasn't part of my gang.
He was a new guy.
He's crazy as a road lizard.
- You deserve to die.
- Hold on a second.
You know what
no one's saying here ?
I had a chance to kill you
on that train, and I chose not to.
'Cause I'm not
a barbarian.
- Hey ! Where are you going ?
- Carson City.
I'm closer to diggin' myself to China
than you are to gettin' to Carson City.
- Hey !
- Which way ?
Hey, that's better.
Dig me out and I'll show you.
-[Vulture Squawks]
- Which way ?
You see the...

- If it'll give us some peace
and quiet-- Forget about it.
- Open it up !
- They're not givin' you
the book back. Drop the book.
- I wasted enough time with you.
- What ? You've wasted enough
time with me ? What about me ?
- Give me the book !
- Listen for a second. Stop !
- Give me the book ! Hey !
Listen ! Stop !
You're not in the East, okay ?
You're not in China. This is the West.
The sun doesn't rise here, it sets here,
and you're closer
to getting us hung than you are
getting that book back, okay ?
Now, just--
I like that.
That's what I'm talking about.
You're wound so tight.
You're the most irritable guy I've ever
been around. Just relax for a second.
Take ten minutes, and then
you can go back to screaming, I promise.
I'll join you.
Okay, just relax for a second.
Come on, sit down.
Come on.
Just relax.
Is that relaxed ?
You look sort of
rigid there.
You know what ?
We got off on the wrong foot.
Let's try to start again.
Man, you sure can fight.
I've never seen anything like that.
[ Imitating Karate Yells ]
It was--
I'm trying to give you
a compliment.
You're not still mad about me pointin'
you in the wrong direction, are you ?
Come on. You gotta be able
to laugh at stuff like that.
Like me in the desert. I don't
hold any grudges. I laugh about it.
I'm not angry at you. You just
left me there with chopsticks to die.
Roy, all by his lonesome. Just me
and the buzzards pickin 'at my head.
You're a very silent man,
aren't you ?
You weren't expecting to see
old Roy in that bar, were you ?
Be honest.
Were you ? Huh ?
Did you really
use those chopsticks ?
You better believe it.
Now you laugh. That's funny.
I gotta remember that one.
- So, who are you ?
- I'm Imperial Guard
to the Emperor of China.
China.
- What's with the book ?
- The book belongs to Princess Pei Pei.
- Who ?
- Princess Pei Pei.
She was kidnapped
from the Forbidden City.
Forbidden City ?
I like that, the Forbidden City.
A princess kidnapped.
It's so mysterious. Oh, go ahead.
The emperor sent us
to get her back.
Us ? You mean your friends
from the train ?
They are also Imperial Guards.
They have four days to bring
the gold to Carson City.
- What gold ?
- The gold for the princess.
The gold--
Was the gold on the train ?
Yes.
How much gold ?
One hundred thousand pieces.
Sir ? Sir ?
Could you hand us that book, please ?
Sir, there's been
a mistake. He has--
Sir-- Yeah.
We're gonna get that book,
and we're gonna get you out of here.
- You help me escape ?
- Shh. Yes.
- Why ?
- Why ? I'm gonna tell you why.
Because there are some things
in this world that are just wrong,
and stealing a princess
is one of them.
Yeah.
That's wrong.
I'll tell you another thing.
I feel guilty about leading you
up that mountain.
What was I thinking ?
How much time did we waste there ?
That was stupid.
It wasn't funny. All right ?
Now, sit tight and let me
figure this out.
All right,
come on, Roy.
Maybe-- Maybe I pretend to be sick, then
attack the guards when they come in.
Okay, you mean
the sick prisoner routine ?
Yeah. Does that still
work in China ?
'Cause here it's sorta
been done to death.
- I have another idea.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Here's how you help me. You
stay on your side of the room,
let me figure it out over here.
Okay, you play over there.
Think. Think.
What do we got here ? Oh, yeah.
Okay.
We got wood. We got a wall
made out of wood.
That's good.
Oh, we got pillows.
We got pillows, sheets.
We got the sheets and the mattress.
Okay, let's put it all together.
Let's think. Add it up, add it up.
What do we got ?
What do we got ?
What are you doing ?
Stop ! Stop !
- What are you doing ?
- Shh.
- Hold this for me.
- No, no. That's your shirt.
You hold it.
I like your energy,
but I'm not with you.
- When the shirt gets wet,
it doesn't break.
- I don't know what that means.
And then--
Okay. And then what--
Then with the wet shirt, you--
You bend the bars.
That's the pay-off.
Don't waste my time
with stuff like that, okay ?
A -year-old civilization,
that's all you can come up with ?
Shame on you.
Shame on you.
Come on. Stop, please.
It's embarrassing.
[ Metal Creaking ]
- See ? I told you so.
- No, you said, "Wet shirt don't break,"
not " Piss shirt
bend bar."
- Twist it.
- Help.
Okay, there.
Get it. There you go.
Just one more.
Yeah.
You're as strong as an ox !
Go ! You can do it !
There, you got it !
We're gettin' it !
- Hold it for me. I'll get through.
- Okay.
No, no, no. You hold it
and I'll go through.
[ Groans ]
No ! Not your hand ! Stop.
- Hold it.
- Adios, sucker.
- What ?
- I'm just kidding. Come on. Go.
I wouldn't leave
my old pal there.
Go.
Really squeeze.
No, no, no, no.
Grab this, grab that.
Work your magic
right here.
-Too dry.
-What ? Juice it up. Juice it up. Go.
I can't !
No more !
Ah, damn it.
Come on out, little Roy.
Work your magic.
[ Harmonica ]
- Hurry up.
- I'm trying, I'm trying.
- Stop ! Don't look at me.
- Relax !
- Relax. It'll come.
- Thanks.
- That helps. Yeah. Good.
- Is that called relax ?
Whoa !

you're here. Get the guns !
- Get my book !
- I got it !
Whoa, whoa.
Wow, who's the pretty lady ?
- That's my wife.
- How long you been in this country ?
- Four days.
- Nice work.
Hello.
Come on.
Let's adios, partner.
Hyah !
[Roy] Well, best of luck to you.
- Guess this is what
your people call sayonara.
- [Blows Harmonica]
Looks like Fido's giving you
some problems there.
You want me to, uh,
give you a hand ?
- No, I can do it.
- Sure, you can.
How is a greenhorn like you
gonna make it to Carson City. ..
and rescue
this princess ?
[ Sighs ]
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
I can't take it any more.
Watch me do it.
Get it like this
and you put it up high.
See ? It'll drift back
when you're riding.
- All right, I'll do it.
- Do what ?
Take you to Carson City,
help you rescue Princess " Pee Pee."
Pei Pei. You do not
care about the princess.
You don't know me
very well, do you ?
Tell you one thing-- I'd hate
to think of an innocent member. ..
of Chinese nobility
suffering.
Tell you that.
You people believe in karma
over there, right ?
Well, I've been thinking.
There must be a reason why
we keep running into each other.
I've ridden with some terrible men--
just people I couldn't trust.
But when I
look at you,
there's something different
about you, and I can see it.
I can see it
in your eyes.
It's what the Indians
call Chippichawa.
- What's that ?
- Chippichawa is nobility.
And you have it
in spades.
You've got yourself a partner.
This has nothing to do with gold, okay ?
[ Spits ]
Shake on it.
Why you spitting
in your hand ?
Well, it's customary,

- Come on. Let's go.

Shalom.
- Shalom.
- Oh. Let's go.

touch down in here. [ Laughs ]
- Roy O'Bannon and his partner
come through town.
- Roy O'Bannon ?
Roy O'Bannon ain't got no partner,

He ain't dead. He busted out of jail
last night with the Shanghai Kid.
Shanghai Kid ?
Roy got a new gang goin' ?
That son of a bitch.
That two-timin' son of a bitch !
He double-crossed us with that Chinaman
from the damn train !
Just like that.
See, at kind of a rakish angle.
- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- How do I look ?
I think you look great.
I think you look like a real cowboy.
Very dapper,
red bandana.
Roy O'Bannon.
- My name is Chon Wang.
-John Wayne ?
- Chon Wang.
- [ Laughs ]
- That's a terrible cowboy name.
- Why ?
No, come on, that's not gonna work.
That's horrible.
- That's so bad. And so's the ponytail.
- No !
It doesn't look
that bad, actually.
Never touch my queue.
That killed !
Ow.
- We have to go to Carson City.
- Okay.
Now, before we go to Carson City, I
want to teach you some stuff. Come on.
You just follow me.
- What's that ?
- Sensitivity. Increased reflexes.
Now, these are guns. These can be
your best friend or worst enemy.
That's a spin in my left hand.
That's a spin in my right hand.
That's two spins. Now, here,
I'm gonna let you hang onto this.
See ? Whoa. Be careful.
Always be ready. Always be ready.
Now, try to exhale
for long-range shots,
inhale for short-range.
All right, now cover up your ears,
'cause this could be loud.
Cover up your ears.
I am like a wild horse.
You can't tame me.
You put the oats in the pen, though,
and I'll come in for a nibble every day.
But if you ever shut that gate,
I'll jump the fence.
You'll never see me again.
Thing about your husband--
and this is nothing against him,
because I really
like him--
he comes from a very
male-dominated society.
Because I wanna be
a cowboy, baby
With the top down
and the sunshine shinin'
Cowboy, baby
- West coast chillin '
with the Boon's wine
- Gonna be a cowboy, baby
Ridin 'at night
'cause I sleep all day
Cowboy, baby
I can smell a pig
from a mile away
Let me put it this way--
my horse is definitely
not my best friend.
That's why they call me
a cowboy, baby
- With the top down
and the sunshine shinin'
- Cowboy, baby
Now, people start
looking at you funny,
all you gotta say is,
" Howdy, partner."
- Howdy, partner ?
- Faster than that or people will
think you're slow in the head.
- Howdy, partner.
- [Wang] Howdy, partner.
-Just follow my lead. Howdy, partner.

- Ow. Hurt.
Okay. We gotta
work on that.

- I know, John,
but I'm not gonna walk with you
if you walk like that.
I'll be okay.
- Hey, Roy. It's you.
- Holy shit !
I'm a wanted man.
Look at this !
- Five hundred bucks !
That's a lot of money.
- Let me see.
- Nice picture.
- Careful, careful.
Wow, look at this.
Do you know what this means ?
- This will drive the girls crazy.
- Really ?
Yes, really. Come on, let's get
a couple more of these.
- It's not bad.
- I'm wanted too !
- What ?
- This.
Oh, come on.
That's not right.
I know. I'm not
from Shanghai.
No !
$ , for a sidekick ?
- You gotta be kidding me.
- Be careful.
Justice system's
all screwed up.
Man can't even ride a horse, and that's
a really cool nickname-- Shanghai Kid.
It's like, got
a snap to it that--
Uh -oh, trouble.
John, come here. Get over here.
Tie 'em up
over here, fellas.
- What's going on ?
- Shh.
[Stammering]
Oh.
[Wang] Howdy, partner.
Oh, my God, it's a posse.
They can't be looking for us.
- What's " posse" ?
- Oh, I think they're passing us by.
[ Sighs ] It looked like Marshal Nathan
Van Cleef, the psychotic killer.
Roy O'Bannon !
This is Marshal Nathan Van Cleef.
- Ohh !
- We know you're hidin 'in there.
Oh, God, it is him.
It is him.
Why don't you throw down
Your six-shooters and come out
With your hands up.
And that goes for the scum
you're ridin' with too.
- He won.
- Roy, Roy, it's okay.
No, it's not okay !
Stop ! You don't know this guy !
Let me talk to them.
Remember, we have to save the princess.
What are you doin' ?
St--
- Go easy, fellas.
- Why are they shooting at me ?
What happened to " Mr. Shanghai Kid" ?
"Oh, I'm a wanted man" ?
- Why ?
- 'Cause you're an outlaw.
- I am not an outlaw !
- Stop ! You're a bad guy !
- Look at that poster.
What does that say ?
- Drives girls crazy.
Drives girls crazy ?
Drives the posse crazy.
Makes them want to hang you,
string you up, because you're a bad guy.
- You got seconds --
- Aw, God ! Give us a minute !
Go around back, gentlemen.
Make sure he isn't trying to
pull the saddle over our eyes.
Remember, I want
the Chinaman alive.
I'm not a bad guy.
You're a bad guy.
You're with me, you're a bad guy.
Hey, you put me
in this situation !
- I'm the good guy, you're the bad guy !
- No ! We're both bad guys !
- No, only you're the bad guy !
You go out there and tell them !
- No !
- I'm not going out there !
You go out there !
- No, you have to go !

- Not bad.

What ? Gold ?
What gold ?
Wrong answer.
Wait. I'm--
I'm unarmed. I'm unarmed !
No gun. Hold on, no gun.
I don't--
I'm unarmed!
You can't shoot an unarmed man.
- Don't worry. I help you.
- No, John. No, no.
John !
John--
Fight with honor.
You will win.
Are you frickin' insane? Is that what
they teach you in Imperial Guard School?
- What--
- Pick 'em up.
- [ Whinnying ]
- Well.
If it ain't
the Shanghai Kid.
[Chuckling]
How about we make
the Kid dance ?
Oh, come on !
You can do better than that.
[Gunfire Continues]
You robbed
the wrong train, son.
- Look, Marshal, I think that if--
-Just shut up and put on your guns.
[ Sighs ]
This is serious,
you know ?
We don't come back
from this.
That's the general idea.
[Gunfire Continues]
[ Groans ]
[ Clicking ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Screaming ]
[Men Laughing]
- What the hell you doin' ?
- [ Exhales ]
Stop procrastinating.
Come on. Hurry up, son.
Stop it ! I'm not gonna let you
cheapen it. All right ?
This is a duel.
It's a sacred thing.
It's beautiful.
It's what separates us from the animals.
- [ Chuckles ]
- Oh, yeah.
Whew !
I do not envy you. You ready ?
Why don't you turn
and face me like a man ?
Why don't you do it your way and I'll
do it my way ? How about that ?
[ Chuckling ]
[Thinking]
Oh, come on, Roy. You can do it.
Oh, no, you can't.
He's gonna kill you.
- One.
- He's gonna blow you away.
Come on, Roy.
Don't think like that.
Two.
[Thinking]
Oh, yeah. Be positive.
Be the bullet.
Be the lead bullet.
- I'm about to die.
-[Van Cleef] Three.
Roy !
Duel's off!
-[Horse Whinnies]
- Roy !
You blew it, John !
Never interrupt a man
in the middle of a duel.
I had him. That's what kills me.
I had him ! I had him !
[ Shouting I n Chinese ]
Now you know how it feels
to haul you around in that sedan chair.
I will never
bow to you.
Take a good look
at these faces.
If you attempt to escape,
I will kill one worker
every hour...
- until you are found.
- [ Grunts ]
- Starting with this one.
- [ Groans ]
Do not let him
see you suffer.
I know who you are.
Please, tell no one.
[Explosion]
- You call this a special hideout ?
- [Piano]
Yes, it is, John.
It's also a good place
to gather intelligence,
'cause no one passes through Carson City
without these people hearing about it.
- Would you ask them about the princess
- Yes, sir, I will.
And I don't care
how ugly it gets.
I'm not gonna rest until
I've pumped everybody in there
for information, okay ?
- [Continues]
-[Chattering, Laughing]
- Hi, Roy.
- Roy.
-[O'Bannon] Hello, ladies.
Make way for
a couple of desperados.
Nice to see you again,
Mr. O'Bannon.
- [O'Bannon] Greetings. Hello.
- [Women] Roy.
Oh, yeah, we're gonna get
some information here. Trust me.
This is not
a proper hiding place.
Oh, come on, John.
Let's relax for a little bit.
- Here, have a drink.
- No. I wanna find the princess.
So do I, but we can't exactly go door
to door in Carson City looking for her.
- Don't forget, we're wanted men.
- Only because of you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everything's my fault.
So, what's the princess like ?
John, what's the princess like ?
Is she pretty ?
- Is she a pain in the neck ?
- You are not fit to talk about her.
John, you better
remember where you are.
This is the West.
It's not the East.
- Remember ?
- And the sun may rise
where I come from--
Blah, blah, blah.
I know.
Good.
You remember.
- Is she single ? Is she single ?
- What ?
Is she married ?
Is she available ?
Only to a member
of the Imperial family.
Are you a member of the Imperial
family ? I don't think so.
Was that a joke, John ?
That was a joke.
John, that was your first joke.
We gotta have a toast. Your first joke.
- Yes. Yes.
- No.
Come on.
Drink.
-Just one.
- Okay.
But don't talk about
the princess any more.
Word of honor.
Be fun to play
a drinking game.
- You know any Chinese drinking games ?
- No. [ Coughing ]
Every country has a drinking game.
You must know one.
Just one ?
[ Speaking Nonsense Rapidly ]
- Uno mas ?
- Uno-- What ?
- One more. Uno mas.
- Okay.
[Nonsense Continues]
No ! I lost ?
One more.
Oh, no !
Oh, yeah !
I'm so lost, John.
Ninety percent of the time,
I don't even know...
what I'm doin'
out here in the West.
-[Horse Whinnies]
- Terrible outlaw.
- No, you're a good outlaw.
- Stop, please. I'm a screw up.
- No, I am screw up. Look at my scar.
- No.
One for arriving late
At a guard duty.
One for dropping fighting stick.
You good. I saw you.
The only thing I'm good at
is talking.
- It's true.
-John.
- Huh ?
- Take your hand off me, John.
Oh.
[ Sighs ]
One more game ?
No. No more drinking.
That's it.
- Uno mas ?
- No mas, John. No mas.
[ Nonsense Continues ]
Roy ?
Roy ?
- Are you coming ?
- Fifi ?
Uno mas ?
[ Burps ]
-[Glass Shatters ]
- [ Burps ]
So, who's your
funny-looking friend ?
[ Chuckles ]
I don't know.
He's this crazy
Imperial Guard I met.
He's-He's really funny.
- [Piano Continues]
-[O'Bannon] The guy's hysterical.
We were just playing-- Did you see us ?
We were just playing that game.
John's going--
[Speaking Nonsense]
And I was going-- You can't really
understand what he's saying, but--
Roy ? Roy ? I never figured you
for riding with a Chinaman.
Well, I'm not exactly
riding with him, Fifi .
He's not my friend, you know.
I mean, he's a Chinaman.
[Fifi ] Well, that's good.
[O'Bannon] I mean--
And you really--
Were you guys talking
about who he was ?
- Let's talk about something else.
-[Woman Screams]
- [Van Cleef]
Don't you look delicious ?
- [ Gasps ]
-[Wang] What's going on ?
- Well.
- You !
- If it isn't the Shanghai Kid.
Here.
[ Gasps ]
[ Groans ]
[Coughing]
Thank you.
Ahh.
Thank you.
Uno mas ?
[Woman Screams]
- [ Groaning ]
-John, come on. We gotta get going.
- The marshal's downstairs.
- No, no, Marshal's in there.
Oh, man, John.
What'd you do to him ?
- Come on. Let's get going.
- No !
- I don't wanna ride with you.
- Come on, John.
Damn, you're a mean drunk.
- Hi, horsey !
- All right. Shh, shh, shh.
- All right, it's time for a "yee-haw."
- Yee-what ?
Shh, shh, shh.
Roy O'Bannon special.
We jump off, land on the back
of the horse, yell "yee-haw..."
and ride off,
all right ?
Watch me and do exactly as I do it.
Yee-haw !
Yee-haw !
[ Groans ]
Okay, hyah ! Hyah !
- Hyah ! Where's the head ?
-John !
-John, get up !
- [ Horse Burps ]
[ Panting ]
Tie 'em up.
What happened to my horse ?
Is he dead ?
No, but we are, John.
- Hi, horsey. You sleeping ?
- Get up.
Hmm.
Mighty impressive hardware
you're packin'.
Why don't you get your eyes off
my package, you twisted son of a bitch.
[ Groans ]
- I hope that's him leaving.
- Your turn.
Thank you,
Mr. Van Cleef.
Well, well.
What have we here ?
Mr. O'Bannon, I presume.
Can I get a drink of water ?
I got cotton mouth. Aah !
-[Groaning]
- Don't mention it.
And this must be
the famous Shanghai Kid.
- Chon Wang ?
- Lo Fong ?
You remember
your old comrade-in-arms ?
- Hmm ?
- I remember a traitor.
[O'Bannon]
I'm sensing some bad blood here.
- Where is the gold ?
- Where's Princess Pei Pei ?
- [ Groans ]
-[O'Bannon] Stop.
Come on. We're men.
We're not pinatas.
Okay ? And we're
really hung over.
We 're not trying
to be tough guys.
- You wanna talk about the gold,
let's talk about the gold.
- So, you have my gold ?
- Your gold ?
- Yes, we have the gold.
- Then where is it ?
- The gold's in a safe place.
- [ Grunts ]
- Is he telling the truth ?
No.
Ow ! Nice, John. Way to go.
Way to think on your feet.
He cannot lie.
He is bound by Imperial decree.
Imperial decree.
- When are you gonna learn
you're not in China any more ?
- [ Cocks Weapon ]
He will never learn.
He can only follow orders.
At least I still have
my honor.
Slaves have no honor.
-[Wang] No ! No !
- Hey !
Now you can never
go back to China.
[ Panting ]
You blew it.
Whoo ! You blew it, man.
You do not want to cut
his hair off, trust me.
Nothing personal, boys.
My loyalty
is to the emperor.
Yeah, John, I heard
all about the emperor.
Must be a hell of a man.
He's only .
Are you kidding me ? You're sitting here
with a noose around your neck...
ready to die for someone whose balls
haven't even dropped ?
By virtue of the authority vested
in me through the territory of Nevada,
I do hereby order these men
to hang by their necks...
until their feet
quit kicking.
[ Cheering ]
You're goin' to hell, boys,
and your horses
are taking you there.
[ Chuckling ]
Tighten 'em up.
[Crowd Chanting]
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em !
[Crowd Laughing]
-[Chanting Continues]
- Hey ! Watch it, you little punk.
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
Hang 'em ! Hang 'em !
-[ Snorts ]
-[Wang Smacking Lips, Clicking Tongue]
- [ Whistling ]
-John, what are you doing ?
[ Chuckles ]
-[Wang Whistles]
- [ Whinnies ]
[ Screaming, Shouting ]
What the hell is goin' on here ?
Stop those horses !
Stop them !
Pull it !
Pull it !
[ Both Yelling ]
- I'm back in the saddle again
- Help me !
I'm back
I'm back
in the saddle again
Well, don't just stand there !
Go after them !
Will you listen
to this creek, John ?
I've never noticed
what a beautiful melody a creek makes.
I've never taken
the damn time.
Look at these mountains
and these trees.
Hell, look at these green trees.
Come here. I don't even know the names--
We're gonna learn the names
of these green trees. Come here.
I want you
to look at these.
Can we not--
John, what are you doing ?
Are you still worried
about your hair ?
John, listen to me.
You're very vain.
By the time you're
your queue, your ponytail...
will be as good as new.
- What are you doing ?
- I'm leaving.
Can we not take two seconds, John ?
We just cheated death.
Come on. Let's look at
these mountains for a second.
- Okay, let me get my stuff.
God, you're unbelievable.
- I'm going alone.
What are you-- John,
what are you talking about ?
- I heard you.
- You heard me. Okay.
At Goldie's.
You said
I wasn't your friend.
John--
Hold on a second, John.
I was talking to a girl.
- It was-- That's taken
out of context. That's not--
- Roy.
You were right.
How could I ever be your friend ?
I'm just a Chinaman.
Hold on, John. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it to--
Sayonara, Roy.
[Explosion]
[Explosions Continue]
Wait here.
Please.
[Pei Pei] You have come a long way.
I hope the princess
you seek...
is worthy
of such devotion.
It is my duty
to bring her home.
I even brought her favorite book.
[ Chuckles ]
That's very kind of you.
But what if you found
the princess...
and she did not wish to go back to
the Forbidden City ?
Why would she want
to stay here ?
Maybe she can do more
for the people here...
than she could back in China.
Princess Pei Pei.
Please,
don't draw attention.
Please.
Stand up !
Princess, you have
to come with me.
I cannot.
Fong cannot find me missing.
Princess,
I cannot leave you here.
[Pei Pei] Please, standup !
Don't bow !
Get up !
Get up !
You must go.
If I leave, Fong
will begin to kill the others.
It is my duty
to bring you home.
I command you to go.
- [ Whinnies ]
- Go !
Go !
Reach for the sky,
baldy !
That's right.
It's Roy.
Am I interrupting ?
I followed you.
So what ?
What am I supposed to do, let you
wander off ? You're a greenhorn.
- You'll get killed out here.
-[Gunfire]
Come on ! We gotta adios
out of here, partner ! Come on !
Hyah !
You gotta stick with me.
Don't forget, we got
a princess to save.
[Bell Tolling]
[Tolling Continues]
[Tolling Stops]
Give my regards
to the emperor, Princess.
[ Speaking Chinese ]
- Chon Wang ?
- Chon Wang ?
- Chon Wang ?
-[Weapon Cocks]
- That's right, Johnny Wayne is here.
Hey, it's me.
Why did you cut his hair ?
I tried to warn you,
But you wouldn't listen.
- Go on, drop the gun.
-[Gun Clatters ]
Now, slide it over.
Is that her ?
She's pretty.
Grab her.
Come on.
We'll take it from here, guys.
John, what--
John, get up.
What are you--
I thought we were past this.
- Come on, John.
- [ Speaking Chinese ]
Do you see ?
He will always be a slave.
[Chinese Continues]
This is the West,
not the East.
And the sun may rise...
where we come from,
but here is where it sets.
You want me to translate ?
The princess stays.
The princess stays.
I grab the gold,
You marry the princess.
We both hang Fong and call it a day.
Mission accomplished.
Well, well.
Nice to see
we're all churchgoers.
Son of a bitch !
With my own guns !
Sweet, ain't it ?
[ Chuckles ]
How about that ?
It's a Mexican standoff.
Only we ain't got
no Mexicans.
[ Speaking Chinese ]
- [ Gunshot ]
- No !
Princess Pei Pei !
[Gunfire Continues]
[ Exhales ]
- I hit you ?
-[Van Cleef] No.
But you're gettin'
really close.
You've almost killed me,
like, times already.
Eighteen, nineteen, twenty !
You're on fire today !
[ Panting ]
[ Gasps ]
[Gunfire Continues]
[Shouting In Chinese]
[ Screams ]
How do you survive
out here ?
What's that supposed to mean ? These
aren't my-- These guns are really weird.
[ Gasps ]
[ Clicking ]
Oh, man.
[ Speaking Chinese ]
- [ Groans ]
- Stay low !
[ Speaking Chinese ]
[ Screams ]
[ Screaming ]
Maybe we should let bygones be bygones.
You got off some good shots.
I got off some good ones.
Let's call it a tie.
What's the matter, O'Bannon ?
Out of bullets ?
No, I got one left.
Tell you what I'll do.
I'll take out
all my bullets but one.
And that way, we'll be even.
How's that ?
Okay.
That sounds fair.
You'd do that for me ?
Oh, yeah.
[Shells Clattering]
You bet I would.
[ Bell Tolling ]
[ Yelling ]
- [ Groaning ]
-[Bell Tolling]
We come out on three.
I know,
but-but let me count.
Fight with honor.
Okay.
Fight with-- Okay.
One !
Two !
Two and a half!
Two and seven-eights !
Three !
[ Yelling ]
[ Yelling ]
How the hell did that happen ?
It's a miracle.
I am invincible.
Roy !
Invincible !
[ Groaning ]
[ Yelling ]
[ Groaning ]
- Now it's time for you to die.
- Adios, partner.
[ Groaning ]
[ Both Panting ]
Wow.
[ Speaking Chinese ]
Roy !
He took the gold.
[Coin Clinks]
Is that all you care about
is the gold ?
[ Sighs ]
Shame on you.
There's more to life than money.
I hope you learn that one day.
What happened ?
What ? Nothing, nothing.
I just killed him. How'd you do ?
- How ?
- What do you mean, how ?
I shot him with my gun.
Come on.
Tell me the truth.
It was unbelievable. You missed
a miracle. I had one bullet left.
He had, like, a million left.
He lied to me and told me
that he only had one too.
But-But when--
But when he--
- She's staying ?
- Yes.
- Can I stand ?
-[Chuckles] Yes.
- [ Gunshot ]
- [ Gasps ]
Reach for the sky,
O'Bannon !
That's my line. He stole my gang,
he's stealing my lines.
- That's unbelievable.
- Roy ! Roy !
- Get back !
- Stop, stop. It's Wallace.
Hey, Roy,
we know you been moonlightin' on us with
that old yellow fella from the train !
You guys, you stay here.
This isn't your battle.
-[Wallace Continues Shouting]
- No, we stick together.
We are partners.
That's beautiful.
You go out the back door.
- No.
- Don't worry, Princess.
I promise you,
I will see you again.
That which you have promised...
you must perform.
-[Gunfire Continues]
- [ Speaking Chinese ]
- Get out of the way !
- Why ?
- Come on !
- Why ? What are you--
- What are you doing ? Are you crazy ?
- No, John, stop, stop.
They can't touch me. Something happened
back there. It was a miracle.
- There's no way--
-[Wallace] Hey, smart-ass !
Do you hear me ?
Time's up, O'Bannon !
It's the end of the line !
- We can take these guys.
Yep, we can take them.
-[Gunfire]
[Wallace] Are you comin' out
or ain't you ?
Gun.
You really are
the Shanghai Kid.
Nice riding with you,
partner.
We go out on three.
I count.
No, I count.
We'll both count.
[ Together ]
One, two, three !
[ Yelling ]
[Gunfire]
[ Yelling, Whooping ]
- Indians ! Look out !
- No ! My family ! My family !
- Friends. Brothers !
-[Wallace] Roy !
I gotta tell ya, we always
figured you for a dumb shit, but, uh,
we was thinkin' maybe you wanna
come back and rejoin the gang.
- So, uh, what do you say ?
- Yeah, what do you say ?
I think I'm just
gonna wing it.
All right.
-And you are goin ' to jail.
- That works too.
[Cheering, Whooping]
How, kimosabe !
How, kimosabe !
[Fireworks Exploding]
Oh, it's nice to be
standing here next to you.
I don't think I've ever gotten
a chance to Thank you for--
for saving us
so many times.
I wish you could understand what--
I feel like there's this gap between us.
It's like, I'm a cowboy,
you're an Indian.
You say "wampum,"
I say " money."
At a certain point,
I just think--
Shut up, Roy.
You talk too much.
Did-Did--
She just--
[ Horn Blaring ]
[O'Bannon] There she is, right
on time, carrying a big, fat payroll.
- Oh.
-[Horse Snorts ]
I don't know if I'll ever
get used to this one.
Don't worry.
You'll get used to it.
I can guarantee you, we won't get half
as many girls being lawmen.
I know we're spoken for,
but--
You never know what's gonna
happen in a relationship.
I gotta get rid of my outlaw name.
That's not gonna work any more.
Really ?
What would you call yourself ?
I don't know. I mean,
my real name's Wyatt Earp, but--
Earp ? That's a terrible name
for a cowboy.
- Why ?
- Bad.
- Really ?
- Bad!
-And John Wayne's a great cowboy name ?
- Roy, look.
There they are.
Yep. Look at those amateurs.
That's my move !
Come on, Roy.
Let's go say " howdy."
Let's go !
Hyah ! Hyah !
- Yee-haw !
- Yee-haw !
[ Whinnying ]
- Yee-haw !
- Yee-haw !
[Man] Scene up.
That which you have promised...
- you must perform.
-[Telephone Rings ]
- Hello.
-[Crew Laughing]
He was part of your
" rushimiant--"
What ? Regiment.
[Wilson] He's one of your bandits.
He's one of your--
He's one of your--
He was part of your regiment
of "dentists."
Bandits. Dentists ?
-[Glass Shattering]
- Wow ! Shit !
He didn't teeth brush
this morning.
- What is this thing ?
- No !
[Crew Laughing]
You can't do stunts,
man.
- Because I'm gonna be a cowboy, baby
-[ Groans ]
- What's this princess like ?
-[Bubbles Surfacing]
[Crew Laughing]
I got air bubbles
coming out of my thing.
Uno mas, please.
- Uno mas --
-[Crew Laughing]
Thanks, Fido.
[ Together ]
One, two, three !
- [ Yelling ]
- Shit !
- Thank you so much, Princess.
You're so good.
- [ Laughing ]
Princess !
Oh, I love you so much.
[O'Bannon] I'm talking to you!
Turn around!
Ask me if I give a shit.
I might walk a little funny
but my walk is me
I might stutter when I talk
but I say what I see
I don't agree with every other
little thing that's proven
I do a lot of things
that I shouldn't be doin '
I ruin everything
you might've had in mind
I'm a consistent, belligerent
solidified mind
Rhinestone freak
Suburban style
I ain't got no money
And I got no car
I might make par
if it don't take much
I gotta ride very far
'cause I ride on luck
I stay pretty stuck
in a rut like I should
And I do it for the love
of everything's that's still good
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place
I wanna be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place
I wanna be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a long way gone
but I ain't short-lived
I got knee-deep pockets
that leak like a sieve
I give one tenth throughout
the course of the night
And if I don't go home
then I did things right
I'd like to settle down
but I ain't that guy
'Cause everything I ever did
I always did on the fly
I stay stuck
in the rut like I should
You know, I do it for the love
of everything that's still good
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place
I wanna be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
