J‘ It's the happiest day

J‘ Of the year

J‘ Felicidades

J‘ And muchos anos

J‘ It's the happiest day of the year J‘

[all cheer]

And now for the big surprise.

Surprise?
Can there be any bigger surprise

than your birthday celebration for me?

Your birthday pinata.

Now, you must break it.

- Si!
- All right, you blindfold him, Moneta.

[all laughing, whooping]

[shouts]

Two more chances, sergeant.

One more chance, sergeant.

Sergeant Garcia!

Si, I am Sergeant Garcia,
but who are you?

I am Captain Salvador Mendoza,

military aid to His Excellency,
Andres Felipe Basilio.

- Who is Senor Basilio?
- [man] Who am |, senor?

I am the king's special emissary.

His personal representative,
newly arrived from Madrid.

If we'd only known
you were due, Excellency...

I mean, if you'd given us warning...

That is precisely
what I did not wish to do.

Sergeant, you disgrace your uniform.

Do you realize that we're at war?

War, Excellency?

France, England, the Netherlands.

Oh, that war. I...

The mother country has her back
to the wall and you're carousing.

You should be tightening your belt.

Innkeeper!

Clear this table immediately.

- And, uh, take down this childish toy.
- Si, Excellency.

Senor, we are celebrating
the sergeant's birthday.

- May I introduce Lady Esparon...
- Your servant, senorita.

...and, uh,
bid you welcome to Los Angeles.

Throw that in the trash bin.

- And you, senor?
- Diego de la Vega.

Are you related to Alejandro de la Vega?

- Yes, I'm his son.
- Indeed.

Sergeant!

Return to your quarters.

I must meet your father without delay.

I'll take you
to our hacienda immediately.

No, no, your father can come into town.

As you wish.

[Diego] At the moment
he's busy recording the inventory.

[Basilio]
The king's affairs must take precedence.

[Diego] Of course.
I'm certain my father will cooperate.

Do you plan to stay long
in our pueblo?

No longer than I can help.

Tell me, is Los Angeles infested
with outlaws and bandits?

We do not consider El Zorro a bandit.

Well, there will be
no further need for this.

I do not waste public funds
on such vermin.

I handle them thus.

Well, sergeant,
you're looking very industrious.

Believe me, Don Diego,
it isn't my idea.

- Buenos dias, Don Alejandro.
- Buenos dias.

They say a new broom
sweeps clean, sergeant.

Perhaps this is the beginning
of a new era.

Come, Diego. [laughing]

Senor Basilio, may I present my father,
Alejandro de la Vega.

Dela Vega, come in.

- Senor Basilio, I came at once.
- Excellent.

Sit down, senores.

His Majesty instructed me to get
in touch with you as soon as I arrived.

I need your help in connection
with our war effort.

- In that case, lam at your service.
- Naturally.

Part of my mission here
is to help raise money

to finance the war.

I must warn you, our people
already complain about the tax rate.

I am not here as a tax collector.

These are royal bonds.

As you can see,
they bear the king's own signature.

His personal guarantee
of repayment in five years.

Every single peso
will be returned twice over.

And I want your help in carrying that
message to the people of Los Angeles.

You may count on us in every way, senor.

Of course, I will urge
my friends and neighbors to do likewise.

- [knocking on door]
- Enter!

We were just leaving.
[speaks Spanish]

lwill tell my friends
about your royal bonds.

l, uh... I will put you down
for 2,500 pesos.

Well, Mendoza, what have you found out?

Everywhere I went, Excellency,
everyone seems so happy.

You'd never know
there's a war going on.

Slackers.

And these are very enlightening,
too, these tax receipts.

Why, even the merchants here
make me seem a pauper.

Well, I'll soon squeeze
the fat out of them.

l have decided that the innkeeper
will set a patriotic example.

He will be the first in Los Angeles
to buy the royal bonds.

- What is his quota?
- Oh... 250 pesos.

They must learn to think of Spain
instead of themselves.

Senor, I swear to you,
I can't pay 250 pesos!

You want to stay in business?

- It's all l have.
- Then think about it.

But don't take too long.

Senor, I'll pay what I can,
but so much money, impossible.

Come closer.
I want to tell you something.

What's wrong?

Capitan Mendoza?

He wants money?
From the innkeeper?

Two hundred fifty pesos?

That's impossible.
He can never pay that amount.

It's no crime if he hasn't got it.
There's nothing they can do to him.

You do not have to come inside, Diego,
if you'd rather not.

- It would be a pleasure, Moneta.
- A pleasure?

- To talk to this... this...
- But His Excellency interests me.

A man who'd demand sacrifice
and self-denial from everyone else,

but appears to have
denied himself nothing.

Are you saying he is an imposter?

Oh, no, no, no.

His credentials are in order,
but he does interest me.

Oh, buenas tardes, senorita, Don Diego.

Senorita, I want to thank you
for my party.

- I would have done it before, but I...
- I understand.

It was my first pinata
since I was a little boy.

I wonder why His Excellency
took it away from me.

Let me see what I can do.

- I'll talk to him about it.
- Gracias, senorita, gracias.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Ah, Senorita Esparon, de la Vega.

- Senor.
- Buenas tardes, senor.

This is a great pleasure, indeed.

Please be seated.

Ah, de la Vega, I didn't expect
to see you back so soon.

My father had some business
in connection with your royal bonds.

l was to meet him here later in town
and on the way I met the senorita.

That makes you a very lucky man, indeed.

- Gracias,
- Now, how can I help you?

My father requests the pleasure

of having Your Excellency as a guest
at luncheon tomorrow.

Gracias, I am flattered.

There, um...
There is one other matter.

Perhaps I'm out of place in asking it.

Feel free to ask anything, senorita.

If it is within my power,
I shall grant it.

Well, it is about Sergeant Garcia.

That is to say, about his pinata.

Sergeant Garcia, and indeed,
the entire garrison,

is badly in need of discipline.

But it means so much to him.

He's really a child at heart,
isn't he, Diego?

Nonsense! The army has
no place for children, senorita.

My orders must stand
for the sake of discipline.

And you won't change your mind?

A servant of the king cannot change
his mind merely to satisfy a whim!

Diego.

Until later, Your Excellency,
and thank you for your time.

[knocking]

Ah, come in, Capitan.
We were just leaving.

- Something is wrong?
- Wrong?

Could anything possibly go right
in this miserable village?

- I do not understand, sir.
- Never mind, never mind.

I came in to report
on my latest inspection tour.

I'm not interested.

Have you spoken to that fool
of an innkeeper again?

Si, but he still claims
he cannot raise the 250 pesos.

Oh, does he?

Then he must learn
to do his patriotic duty.

It will be a much-needed lesson
for all of Los Angeles.

How far shall I go?

I'll leave that
to your discretion, Mendoza.

But you must make it plain
that I am not to be taken lightly.

What do you want?

I thought maybe you were
walking in your sleep, sergeant.

You know I only sleep in my sleep.

Go back to bed, corporal.

I'm going to the tavern and rescue
my pinata from that trash bin.

I don't think
you should try it, sergeant.

Corporal, didn't you ever want something
that meant more to you than life itself?

Why am | wasting my time?

Corporal Reyes, don't you know
what's inside a pinata?

Presents! And the ones
over there belong to me.

[door opening]

[liquid pouring out]

[turns off tap]

[sneezes]

Who's there?

There isn't anybody here.

Is there?

[glass shattering]

Help! Lancers, help! Lancers!

Corporal Reyes? Anybody?

Don't shoot, my good friend.
It's only me.

Help me up, please.

Sergeant Garcia,
you heard the testimony.

- What have you to say for yourself?
- It was not my fault, Excellency.

- Somebody pushed me.
- There's only one answer for your sort.

- The stocks.
- The stocks?

Senor, no one in Los Angeles has been
put into the stocks for many years.

That is true.
Besides, they are very dusty.

Then it should prove an apt lesson
to all who may see you.

- Capitan Mendoza?
- Excellency.

Set the stocks up in the plaza
outside the cuartel.

See that the prisoner remains
in them for 24 hours.

At once, Excellency.

Excellency, knowing
the sergeant as I do,

if he says he did not
let my wine run away...

Well, if he didn't, Who did?

Well, my man?

Nothing, Excellency, nothing.

[door opens]

Keep him here until sunrise, Capitan.

Now, you know what's in store
for lazy, slovenly louts.

[Zorro] Senor.

- | suggest you change your mind.
- Zorro!

- You look uncomfortable, sergeant.
- A soldier is used to hardships.

So, you are Zorro, hm?

Accept my welcome and my advice.

Use moderation in your dealings here.

How dare you give advice to me,
the king's emissary?

- Release him, Excellency.
- Not until you replace him.

Attack, Capitan, attack!

Senores, would you mind
fighting somewhere else?

Please!

Capitan Mendoza!

Now, will you release him?

Oh, oh! All right, Mendoza.

Gracias, Senor Zorro.

- l was getting a little uncomfortable.
- [Zorro] Stay where you are, Capitan.

I'll give His Excellency reason
to skin you alive.

Now, I hope it's not necessary
for us to meet again, senor.

This is a conspiracy.

I'll have you court martialed
for this, Garcia.

- You'll face a fight.
- [Zorro] Excellency, you disappoint me.

I thought you were a clever man,

but I see you're going
to have to learn your lesson.

Get in there.

Move!

Lock him up!

[Zorro] I believe you interrupted
the sergeant's birthday party.

Why don't you show him
you meant no offense?

Sing us a song, Your Excellency.

Sing us a birthday song
for Sergeant Garcia.

J‘ There should be laughter and mirth

- Oh, louder!
- J‘ On the day of your birth

J‘ This is the day of the year

J‘ When all your friends are here

J‘ Felicidades and muchos anos

J‘ It's the happiest day of the year J‘

Bravo, senor, but would you mind
singing it again, and this time louder?

I don't think everyone heard you.

A pity your hands
are occupied, Excellency.

Because you lose your trousers
when the first lancer approaches.

No! No!
Stand back, all of you!

l'll court martial
the first man who comes near!

Now, won't you sing the song again?
This time for the soldiers.

J‘ There should be laughter and mirth

J‘ On the day of your birth

[laughter]

J‘ This is the day of the year

J‘ When all your friends are here

[laughter]

J‘ Felicidades and muchos anos

J‘ It's the happiest day

J‘ Of the yearJ‘

Bravo! Bravo!

[laughter and applause]

Sergeant, your birthday present.

Mendoza, lancers, after him!

Lancers, get your arms.

Get me out of here,
you bumbling idiots! Hurry!

Get me out.

[Basilio] He's getting away!
Lancers, shoot him!

Get me out of here,
Garcia, you idiot!

[gunshots continue]
