J‘ Zorro!

J‘ Who makes the sign of the "Z"!

J‘ Zorro, Zorro, Zorro

J‘ Zorro, Zorro J‘

Did you send Bernardo on an errand? I can't find him.

No. Estevan is paying his respects to Senorita Cortazar.

He took Bernardo with him.

Ah, that explains why my guitar is also missing.

Estevan has a fine voice. Margarita likes music.

Oh, Father, can't you see what's happening?

Yes, he's still trying to marry you off to Margarita.

Let him try. lt'll keep him occupied.

That may have been his intention a week ago,

but, uh, now I think he has another idea.

Oh?

I think he intends to marry her himself.

I might have known. He is after her money.

Forgive me, Father, but you always seem

to suspect the worst of Uncle Estevan.

Estevan has come to California to get a fortune.

- He makes no pretense of that. - Agreed.

He has not tried one single scheme in the last two weeks.

He spends all of his time with Margarita.

Who has a considerable fortune, yes.

And I am certain your mother's brother is well aware of that fact.

You know, Father, we may be doing Uncle Estevan a great injustice.

Hah!

However, I think I'll ride out to the Cortazar hacienda

just to make sure that the romance is progressing.

- 5 Con permiso? - Si.

[Estevan] J‘ Mi amor

J‘ Lovely and fair

J‘ Mi amor

J‘ Tell me you care

J‘ I adore

J‘ Your laughing eyes

J‘ Mi amor

J‘ They hypnotize

J‘ My heart

J‘ Hears a song from afar

J‘ Timed to the beat

J‘ Of a Gypsy guitar

J‘ What's in store

J‘ What's Fate 's design

J‘ Mi amor

J‘ Will you be mine

J‘ Will you be mine J‘

[applause]

Bravo! Bravo!

Ah, Diego, my boy. You've come just in time.

Here. Play.

- Margarita. - [chuckles]

[playing tango]

To the loveliest dancing partner a cabal/ero ever had.

Gracias, Estevan.

[Estevan] Margarita, your grace will be the envy

of every senorita at court, and they will hate you for it.

Here it is. l, uh...

I thought for a while I had lost it.

- Oh, Father! - Well, you must admit, Margarita,

- Diego, buenas tardes. - Buenas tardes, Don Marcos.

- You've seen this, haven't you? - I don't know.

The Cortazar necklace, the traditional wedding present for the firstborn,

which, as you know, is Margarita.

I remember now.

Why, this is the most beautiful necklace l have ever seen.

[laughs] But you do not need it.

She won't need half the gifts she gets when she is married.

Oh?

For generations, the Cortazar women

have been notorious for the loot they have collected.

We must have a trunkful of those upstairs.

And Margarita gets it all?

That and all the land she can ride across in one single day.

[laughing] Well, I hope you have a fast horse.

You are very thoughtful, Estevan.

[Diego] Uncle Estevan is always thinking.

But when you do decide to get married, l'll lend you my horse.

He'll cut the size of your father's land down to that of a garden.

- Then you had better get him ready. - Oh?

Estevan has asked me to marry him.

Oh?

And she did me the great honor of accepting me.

[Margarita] Well, Diego, what are you going to say?

What can I say?

Except to wish you the best of everything. Both of you.

She'll be quite an addition to the family, eh, Diego?

- Quite. And when will the wedding be? - As soon as possible.

- After a respectable passage of time. - Oh, of course.

- You will stay for supper, Diego? - Gracias,

Send your mozo for Alejandro.

We might as well have the whole family in on this.

Yes. I think my father will be very interested.

[Marcos] Oh, Estevan,

you said you would give me your opinion of my wine cellar.

Uh, if you can bear the separation.

Certainly, Don Marcos.

I'll leave Margarita with you, Diego.

And don't you let him tell you any bad things about me.

As if he could.

If you'll excuse me, I'll send Bernardo to get my father.

Yes, of course, Diego.

Uncle Estevan has really done it this time, huh?

Why didn't you stop him?

I suppose you're right. The only way you could stop him

would be to hit him on the head, and it may come to that.

Go home and tell my father what's happened.

Calm him down before you bring him here.

[door closes]

- Margarita. - Si.

We know one another well enough

so that we don't always have to mind our own business, huh?

Oh, of course we do, Diego.

Well, this marriage...

Is it what you really want?

More than anything in the world.

No, I mean this particular marriage.

Yes, I know.

I do not consider this is my last chance.

- I didn't mean that. - I know you didn't.

And it is very sweet of you to worry, Diego. But I would not.

Well, it's my privilege as a friend, and I reserve it.

You know, we will not be friends any longer after we are married.

We will be relatives.

Yes. Uh, you'll be my aunt.

Yes...

Yes.

- Now what are you doing? - Ah, wildflowers.

See? Lupines.

They're very pretty, aren't they?

lf Bernardo starts back to the Cortazar hacienda now,

Margarita can have these before she retires for the evening.

Oh, this is ridiculous!

Oh, not at all. Bernardo's a good rider. I've seen him.

You know what I'm talking about, Estevan.

And we might as well discuss it here and now.

Discuss what?

This so-called courtship and marriage of yours.

My father and l... we're very concerned with that.

Oh, well, uh, I'm very pleased to hear that.

- You are? - Yes.

I didn't know how to approach the subject myself,

but, uh, since you've opened it up, Alejandro,

lwill need a little money.

What?

Margarita's a wonderful girl.

She deserves more than wildflowers.

I thought a few presents new and then, little trinkets.

You know, jewelry and that.

Now, you listen to me. You do not love Margarita.

You are only out after her money.

Oh, Alejandro, how can you say such a thing?

How can I? [gasps]

Please, calm yourself.

- [scoffs] - That is good advice.

You're a sensible lad, Diego.

All right. Will you listen to me, then?

Bernardo, take these to...

Oh, uh, tell him to take these to Margarita.

- I don't think he's going to listen. - Oh, certainly he will.

I can't get through to him, but I notice that you never have any trouble.

All right. But you're not married yet, Estevan.

Zorro has something to say about this.

- Zorro? - Yes.

To Zorro, a thief is a thief.

Whether he's stealing funds from the church poor box

or trying to marry some unsuspecting girl for her money.

And Zorro always rides against the thief.

I do not like the word thief, Alejandro.

But for some strange reason, you seem to be a little upset.

- Upset? [scoffs] - So I forgive you.

But I hope you're right.

I hope your Zorro does try to interfere.

He's been a thorn in my side ever since I came to California.

I am just waiting for a chance to meet him again.

Bernardo, do you think I should marry Margarita?

There. You see?

You must admit he's an impartial observer.

Bahh!

Buenas noches, Don Estevan. l have just learned of your impending marriage.

Really?

And you have come to wish me well?

I've come to wish you a pleasantjourney back to Spain.

Spain.

l, uh, believe Senorita Cortazar plans an extended honeymoon,

but, uh, I had envisioned something like Santa Barbara,

or perhaps Monterey.

No. I think you should go back to Spain alone.

And leave the senorita behind me?

Precisely.

Both the senorita and her money.

I'm gratified that you're so concerned, Senor Zorro.

lam.

Now shall we see which one of us leaves California?

Hey!

May | help you, senor?

[yells]

[yells]

[clatter]

[swords clanging]

Don Estevan!

Don Estevan, are you all right?

[Alejandro] What is it, Manuel? What is wrong?

I don't know, Don Alejandro. There are noises.

- [knocking on door] - [Alejandro] Estevan!

There'll be more than noises, senor,

if you continue to court Senorita Cortazar.

- [knocking continues] - Estevan! Estevan, what is happening?

Estevan !

[knocks]

[Diego] Bernardo.

More flowers?

Ah, Cupid's little helper, eh?

He is not going to give up, is he?

Well, neither are we. He doesn't love Margarita,

and he's not going to get her money.

Take the flowers up to Uncle Estevan,

and, uh, when he leaves, let me know.

lthink |'|| ride part of the way with him.

[imitates sword swishing]

You again, SenorZorro.

Apparently you did not heed my warning, senor. That was a mistake.

I left the hacienda unarmed this morning. That was my mistake.

It will not happen again.

But since it has...

- Hyah! Hyah! - [horse whinnying]

The road to Margarita's hacienda will continue to be wet, senor.

I must advise that you do not try it again.

[mutters]

[mutters]

No.

You did exactly right in coming to me, Don Estevan.

[grunts]

After all, I am the acting comandante.

There was no other place for me to go, Sergeant.

l was too far from the hacienda,

and I certainly didn't want Senorita Cortazar to see me like this.

- [sneezes] - Bless you.

Gracias,

Well, the next time you wish to visit Senorita Cortazar,

let me know, and I will give you an escort of soldiers.

Oh, gracias, Sergeant.

Nothing lends more flavor to a romance

than a military escort.

Si. There is something about a soldier...

| see what you mean, Don Estevan.

Besides, Sergeant, I don't want protection, I want Zorro right here!

I understand. I, too, want Zorro right...

there in myjail.

There must be something we can do. Think!

Not you, stupid. Just iron.

[clatters]

There must be some way we can get Zorro.

Some trap we can set.

He is certain to appear

the next time you are with the senorita.

Si. But I do not want to involve her in this.

No. It is too dangerous.

Uh...

I wonder.

Sergeant.

[no audible dialogue]

And Don Estevan is an excellent swordsman.

- You all know that. - [hoofbeats approaching]

You all know he is a man of great courage...

afraid of nothing or no one.

Tonight he is taking the senorita to see the lake by moonlight,

and he defies Zorro to try and stop him.

Oh, excuse me, my friend.

- Buenas noches, Don Diego. - Good evening, Sergeant.

And little one.

Don Diego, l was just about to go into the tavern.

Were you perhaps about to go into the tavern also? Perhaps?

No, Sergeant. We're on our way back to the hacienda.

We only stopped because Bernardo thought

the cinch on his saddle was loose, and he wanted to check it.

But everything seems to be all right,

- so I'll say good night, Sergeant. - Buenas noches.

Psst! Sergeant! Come here.

Sergeant, you'll have to help me.

I'm having a little trouble with the senorita.

Oh. Oh! Of course, Don Estevan!

Now, what is this?

I don't care what you say, Sergeant.

I'm not going to shave off my moustache!

We let you keep your moustache, Corporal. What is it now?

Don Estevan, this is too tight. I can't breathe.

You are not trying.

Can we stop and loosen something?

We haven't got time.

Sergeant Garcia will be waiting for us at the lake.

- [inhales deeply] - [fabric ripping]

[relieved sigh]

Ah, senorita, we are alone.

You are not that alone, senor.

Buenas noches, senorita.

- You again, SenorZorro? - You and l have something to settle.

Ah, but the situation is different now.

This time, l have my sword with me.

- Good. - If you're a true cabal/ero,

you will help the senorita down from the carriage.

Then you and I could settle this once and for all.

Splendid. Senorita?

Grab him, Corporal!

- [horses whinnying] - Easy, boys! Easy!

A very clever trap, senor. You're to be congratulated.

All right. Who wants to be first?

Sergeant Garcia!

Sergeant!

Sergeant Garcia!

Oh, there are more? Very well. I'll wait.

Sergeant Garcia!

[QaSpSJ

[Estevan] Sergeant Garcia!

[gasps] Help!

Help!

Sergeant Garcia!

Help! H...

He... Help!

Come, come, senores. I cannot wait all evening.

[yelling]

Sergeant Garcia! Sergeant Garcia!

[Garcia] Help!

Ah!

Help!

Sergeant Garcia, what's the matter?

You seem to be deserted, senor.

[yel|s, chuckles]

- Sergeant... - No!

Si!

[officers coughing, spitting]

Senor, if you plan to continue the pursuit

of Senorita Cortazar's money, | suggest that you learn to swim.
