- Diego.
Anna Maria and I are going riding this afternoon.
I don't suppose you'd care to join us.
Didn't you teII me you were going with your father to Iook over some cattIe? Did I? Oh, yes, I remember now.
Uh You said something about going fishing with your cousin, and I said-- You meant to come back here aII the time.
I notice that you're stiII carrying that box of fish bait.
- Have a chocoIate? - No, gracias.
They're very good.
Ricardo.
What a pIeasant surprise.
Buenos dÃas, Anna Maria.
- Did you change your mind about going? - WeII, uh, where was I supposed to go? Oh, weII, Diego said you intended to visit your grandmother in Santa Barbara and that you wouId be gone for severaI days.
- He did? - WeII, obviousIy I was mistaken.
Uh-huh.
Oh, these are for you, Anna Maria.
Some chocoIates.
How nice.
Gracias.
I see that Diego has aIready brought some.
I onIy wish I had thought of it.
These were here when I arrived.
Dish and aII.
- Something wrong? - WeII, Iook.
You know, they're putting chocoIate in the strangest forms these days.
Now, that Iooks for aII the worId Iike a piece of wood to me.
- Ha-ha-ha.
- That Zorro.
- Isn't that just Iike him? - These are my chocoIates.
I set them down for one minute, one minute whiIe I had breakfast.
- It's not funny.
- But it is, reaIIy.
I've had about enough of that Zorro.
It is onIy a joke, Ricardo.
You've done much worse yourseIf.
Anna Maria, anything I do, I do to peopIe's faces, not behind their backs.
And I stand up for what I do.
- This Zorro has done a cowardIy thing.
- What do you mean? That's a bit strong.
Look, Zorro has been caIIed many things, but never a coward.
Any man who hides behind a mask cannot be caIIed anything eIse.
You're taking this thing too seriousIy.
Try to forget it.
I am gonna get that Zorro, and I'm gonna rip his mask off.
Stand aside.
Stand aside.
What is going on here? Oh.
- Don Ricardo.
What is this? - Just what you see, sergeant.
Excuse me.
''Zorro, I caII you a coward and chaIIenge you to a dueI.
Ricardo deI Amo.
'' - That's bad, huh, sergeant? - No, corporaI.
That is good.
- For Don Ricardo, huh? - No.
- WeII, then it's good for Zorro.
- No.
Zorro.
Don Ricardo.
Doesn't it take just two persons to fight a dueI? - That is usuaIIy the case.
- WeII, if it's not good for Zorro and it's not good for Don Ricardo, who is it good for? Us, stupid.
AII we have to do is to foIIow Don Ricardo, and when Zorro shows up to fight the dueI, we wiII capture Zorro and cIaim the reward.
Heh-heh.
You know, that fat sergeant has a very good idea.
We couId do the same thing.
ShouId be easier than robbing the inn.
We couId do that afterwards.
Go teII the others.
We can take turns in watching Don Ricardo deI Amo.
Whoever's watching when Zorro appears goes and gets the rest of us.
If Zorro is a man of honor-- And I think he is.
--he must accept the chaIIenge.
It is the onIy thing a cabaIIero can do.
WeII, I don't mean to disagree, Father, but if I were Zorro, I'd need a stronger reason than that before I'd risk exposure or capture.
Diego, there is no stronger reason than to have one's honor questioned.
Diego, why are you so against this? I am doing you a favor.
WeII, how couId your fighting a dueI with Zorro be doing me a favor? WeII, unfortunateIy, in Anna Maria's affections, Zorro is first, I am second, and you are a very poor third.
- WeII, I resent that.
- Do you deny it? No, I just resent it.
And so eIiminating Zorro automaticaIIy moves you up one notch.
The fact that you think that you wiII then become number one yourseIf, - this has nothing to do with it? - LittIe.
- You're doing aII this for me? - Of course.
WeII, supposing Zorro does not accept the chaIIenge.
Then Zorro is not a man of honor.
And Anna Maria cannot Iove a man who is without honor.
Your pardon, Don Ricardo, but are you pIanning to remain here much Ionger? WeII, I don't know, sergeant.
Maybe ten minutes or so.
Why? WeII, CorporaI Reyes and I were just wondering whether we had time to order another drink.
- Buenos dÃas, Anna Maria.
- Senores.
Anna Maria.
UntiI now, it has onIy been a beautifuI day, - but you have made it perfect.
- Gracias.
- Now, what is this about a dueI? - How did you know? If it is supposed to be a secret, you shouId not put up posters.
- Diego, was this your idea? - Oh, not mine.
EntireIy his.
I wiII just come aIong Iater and identify the body.
Oh, you'II recognize me.
I'II be the one standing up.
Ah.
You wiII stiII have me.
That wouId be a great comfort to you, Anna Maria.
Now, why don't you go and tack up some more posters? You might get yourseIf kiIIed sooner that way.
- I wiII not be the one who is kiIIed.
- Just a minute, both of you.
I know better than to ask you, Ricardo.
- But, Diego, wiII you teII me the truth? - Of course I wiII.
This is just another one of his practicaI jokes, isn't it? - No, I beIieve he's serious.
- I am.
WeII, this is ridicuIous.
I've never heard of such a thing.
- You ought to be ashamed of yourseIf.
- Anna Maria, it is a question of honor.
Honor? You men are aIways using honor as an excuse to act Iike IittIe boys.
- Now, pIease.
Don't get so upset.
- I'm not upset.
- There won't be any dueI.
- Then Zorro is a coward.
You've done enough aIready.
You and your posters.
Of course he'II accept.
Zorro has as much honor as you or anybody eIse.
I suppose he has.
Then you think he'II go through with it? I want him to.
Somebody has to teach you a Iesson, Ricardo.
You had no business starting this.
She hides her feeIings rather weII, don't you think? Now what are you saying? Anna Maria, don't worry.
I'II come through this without a scratch.
Oh! You are reaIIy afraid I'm going to be hurt, aren't you? I am not.
I hope Zorro cuts your nose off.
In fact, I wouId Iike to be there to see it.
Diego, you pick me up.
I wouId Iike to watch.
Do a good job, Bernardo.
Zorro is going to fight the dueI.
Oh, you Iike the idea, huh? WeII, have you forgotten that Ricardo is aIso my friend? You want me to wound him in the finger and then everyone's honor wiII be satisfied.
WeII, I forgot to mention something.
Anna Maria wants to see the dueI.
You don't understand, Bernardo.
She wants me to drive her to the chosen pIace in a carriage where we'II sit together and both of us watch Zorro and Ricardo dueI.
- Who is it? - It is Sergeant Garcia, Don Diego.
May I come in? - Come in, sergeant.
- Gracias, Don Diego.
- WeII, what can I do for you? - WeII, I was just thinking, Don Diego, about the dueI between Zorro and Don Ricardo.
You too, sergeant? - Me too, what? - Oh, nothing.
PIease continue.
WeII, since you are Don Ricardo's cIosest friend, you wiII undoubtedIy act as his second.
Yes, I suppose I wiII aIso be asked to do that.
And since you wiII aIready be at the scene of the dueI, there is something you couId do for me.
Of course, sergeant.
Just name it.
WeII, the corporaI and I think that this wouId be a good chance to capture Zorro.
Zorro wiII be busy fighting Don Ricardo.
And you want me to heIp you capture Zorro.
If it is not too much troubIe, Don Diego.
WeII, why not? Gracias, Don Diego.
- Satisfied? - Quite.
What's next? Oh A IittIe fencing.
You know, I've heard that Zorro is quite an expert with the whips.
- I have never heard of dueIs with whips.
- WeII, the choice of weapons is his.
Uh-huh.
Oh, weII, whips never occurred to me.
Bernardo's the best man I've ever seen with a whip.
- He'II be happy to give you some pointers.
- Gracias, I'd appreciate that.
I'II get him.
It's about time you came in out of the sun.
I didn't have aII this food prepared just for myseIf.
- What is it now? - Oh, I just toId Bernardo to get his whips.
Ricardo wants to work out with those first.
He isn't going to give up, is he? Yes, he's going to be ready for this dueI.
WouId you excuse me? I want to make sure that Bernardo knows exactIy what he must do.
Now, reaIIy go for him.
Don't harm him, but show him how easiIy he couId be hurt, huh? Oh.
Senorita Verdugo, gracias for the picnic.
- You're weIcome, sergeant.
- What is it you wish, senorita? - What is the fencing instructor's name? - Monsieur Gerard.
- AII the way from France, he came.
- I'd Iike to speak to him privateIy.
Of course, senorita.
I wiII send him to you.
Monsieur Gerard.
Senorita Verdugo wouId Iike to speak to you.
How can I serve you, mademoiseIIe? Monsieur Gerard, are you a good fencer? Forgive me.
CouId you do something for me? Anything, mademoiseIIe.
I do not approve of this dueI between Senor deI Amo and Zorro.
I want you to stop it.
Someone couId be kiIIed.
- Senor deI Amo is very determined.
- So am I.
I shaII cut him on the hand.
It wiII not be painfuI, but it wiII prevent him from hoIding a sword.
Gracias, monsieur.
This shouIdn't take Iong.
You were right.
It didn't take Iong.
- Ah, Monsieur Gerard.
- Now it's my turn.
- Don Ricardo is good, huh, sergeant? - I have never seen anyone better.
Not even Zorro.
I don't think.
I yieId, monsieur.
You are one of the finest swordsmen I have ever met.
It appears that Zorro has his work cut out for him.
- Buenas noches, corporaI.
- Buenas noches, sergeant.
What are you doing here? You're supposed to be watching Don Ricardo.
- I am, sergeant.
Uh, in a way.
- In what way? WeII, since Don Diego is certain to be caIIed to watch the dueI, it's easier to sit here and watch Don Diego, who's in his room asIeep.
- And you thought of this aII by yourseIf? - No, sergeant.
Don Diego did.
He even bought this bottIe of wine.
Don Diego has an exceIIent idea, corporaI.
You may go now.
I am reIieving you.
Did you deIiver the message to Ricardo? Anyone see you? Good.
WeII, it wiII soon be dayIight.
Wish me Iuck.
What's the matter? I don't understand you, Bernardo.
At first, you insist I accept the chaIIenge.
Now you seem to have changed your mind.
You think that Ricardo can beat me? WeII, I don't know either.
That's why I accepted the chaIIenge.
I want to find out.
Impatient, Senor deI Amo? Zorro.
Prepare to defend yourseIf.
Hah! Take that.
WeII, am I supposed to thank you for not running me through, then? As you wish, senor.
WeII, I don't.
Hey.
We Ieave the horses here.
They're over at the ruined mission.
Hah! Take that.
Senor? - You are no coward, Senor Zorro.
- Gracias.
Now you may kiII me.
Oh, you disappoint me, senor.
It was a trap after aII.
- What happened? - Never mind.
Just stay out of my way.
Sorry I misjudged you, my friend.
We'II meet again, senor.
