All language subtitles for Princess Caraboo 1994-subrip-en

Sumatra, Java, Sulawese

these are places with
names so beautiful

My boyhood imaginings
were that my destiny lay

But destiny has taken
a less romantic turn.

Instead I have become
an ink-stained printer

Reluctantly in my
profession I've had to learn

But this story is not
imagined, and even though

In the summer of 1817
England may have appeared

Repressive laws had been
enacted, and it was not uncommon

But in spite of these
measures, one traveler

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Where is my wife,
where is Mrs. Hunt?

- She's gone inside.

- George, will you all go home,
please?

- The villagers are
after the five shillings

- George do get about
your business.

- A foreigner?

- And what has such a
story to do with

- He was a French spy.

Whoa, thank you Valiet,
will you wait for me please?

Big house but very
ordinary people.

- Mr. Worrall has
gone to Bristol.

- Caraboo.

- Caraboo, is that her name?

- Caraboo.

- Worrall, worrall, I am Mrs.
Worrall.

- Worrall, Worrall.

- Ella, have Mr. Frixos
attend me in the drawing room.

Hurry along.

- She not Greek, she
not Turkish.

Yes madam.

- Do you speak any other
foreign language?

- Only English.

- Is it her turban
that makes her

- Madam she is gypsy, I
throw her out.

- I'm not so sure.

Frixos, take her down
to the servant's hall

So have you
got a name then?

- Cat's got her tongue?

- Hey.

- Don't you like meat then?

- I don't trust her.

Mrs. Worrall, I a little
anxious what Mr. Worrall say

- Oh Frixos, what Mr,
Worrall has to say

- Sweet dreams.

- God almighty, I need a shot.

Frixos, get me a drink.

Good morning sir, sir.

- That is a bust of
Homer on the table

- Oh, that is a filthy beggar.

- A beggar?
- Yes sir.

- A beggar?
- Yes sir.

- Oh.

- The poor were
rioting last night.

Does she
have any property

- What is your name?

And she has no money.

Bring him in.

Do you
know this woman?

- No sir.

I've seen him
jabbering with her sir.

- And what is that?

Caraboo.

- Worrall.
- Worrall.

- What is she saying?

- Are you mocking this court,
McCarthy?

- I don't believe it either.

- Well I wouldn't believe
a word that comes out

I know that ignorance
of the law is no defense

I implore you, Mr. Haythorne.

- I've placed this girl
under the supervision

McCarthy, three months in the
house of detention, vagrancy.

- Mrs. worrall, Gutch, Felix
Farley's Bristol Journal.

- Mr. Gutch, in view
of the articles

- Good morning Mr. Gutch.

I had never clapped eyes on
an Oriental princess before.

As a journalist I know that
people will believe two things.

And that's the way of the world,

- There.

Worrall.

- Fancy Mrs. Worrall, royalty.

- You go imply in your
newspaper that we are guilty

Don't you
try worming your way

- Mrs. Worrall.

- Oh goodness, what
is she doing?

Frixos, get over there
and get her down.

Caraboo Mr. Worrall.

- Princess, my dear, come
on, this way now, come to me.

- You are the butler,
aren't you Frixos?

- Oh, Mr, Gutch,
- Mrs. Worrall.

I'm not entirely accustomed
to addressing foreign royalty.

- You are amusing yourself
at my expense, Mr. Gutch.

My dear.

- Would it be appropriate
to kiss her hand?

- Does she speak any English?

It seems that she was on a
ship, that she jumped overboard

- Shipwrecked.

And that she escaped.

May I try a little experiment?

Gutch.

Caraboo.

Caraboo.

- I must tell Mr. Worrall.

- It's a good story, enslaved
princess washed ashore

in England, sell a lot
of newspapers.

- Mr. Worrall!

- I'd be interested in anything
you might have to tell me.

- She very clever, this girl.

- Do you think she's a fraud?

Mr. Worrall is an idiot and
Mrs. Worrall is too kind.

Is this the village
of Almondsbury?

She drank it?

- She came with me on my
cart with Amon

Anyway, then she ran
off up to Almondsbury.

Psalms, hymns, prayers,
rules, list of subscribers.

Is that what it says?

- Do you mind if I keep this?

- I can't read it anyway.

Of
course this proved nothing

but the idea, the idea of
it was almost too absurd

- I take no responsibility
for any of this.

Perhaps
this, or maybe this.

Of course,
she wants her native attire.

- And to accompany
this there is no.

No, no.

No.

- Is that what she wears, Mrs.
Worrall?

- Your flag tells the
world that our home

- You're a fraud, I know
you're a fraud

No, personally I have
pissed in it.

- Surely you only
address a guest

- I'll take her upstairs,
sweet dear creature.

I'd better go and see
that she's comfortable.

What's the matter
with you Frixos?

- What is your point, Frixos?

- That a lot of dog.

- That is a lot of dog.

- Look at this.
- Oh, oh.

Look at this, Mr. Frixos.

- Oh, let's see, let's see,
oh Mr. Frixos.

- Betty.

- Mr. Worrall, I'm not
sure I should leave her

Stop it, Mr. Worrall.

- Princess, if you come clean

You see, we're not gonna
have you lording over us

- We want to look at your arms.

Your arms, here, have a look.

- It seems she don't like men.

- See, of course she
don't have any.

- So where else do savages
put their tattoos, Mr. Frixos?

Oh, Mr. Frixos, look at that.

- Was that you screaming, Mr.
Frixos?

- I am not often wrong, Mrs,
Wilberforce.

But I was wrong about her.

- Thank you Betty.

- Fine, thank you.

- Frixos.

- You print the works of Mr.
Coleridge.

A poet of great imagination.

She bite me, she
bite me so hard.

And now I have no more doubt,
only a savage would do this.

- My God, it's severe, but
it's not proof, Frixos.

And I see in the book of Mr.
Cook's voyages in the Pacific.

- Really, that is interesting.

She had very beautiful
leg for a savage.

- It is a sizeable place,
there should be

Look at Baggers who took
the salon trade

Well find out who did
it and get rid of them.

- I think she's
saying she did it.

Caraboo.

- You must bring her to Bath.

Javasoo costume, my dear could
you imagine the sensation

I'm so pleased you could come.

What is it, Frixos?

- Cinnamon, sandalwood.

- Xanadu did Kublai Khan, a
stately pleasure dome decree.

- Cardamom?
- Cardamom.

Oh my God.

- There is also the
diplomatic aspect.

- That would please Mrs.
Worrall a good deal, I dare say.

- Oh my dear, what
is the matter?

No, no stop, please
stop playing.

- Play on, please play on.

- It is honor to play for
one so sensitive

Preposterous couple.

- A monopoly, a spice monopoly.

I'm going to be so rich.

- Of course without
seeing the tattoo

- She's an imposter.

But at least she is an
imaginative one.

In fact, I should be
intrigued to see

No,

No, ah, Malboric.

No, aha, Mangean.

No. Ah, Mandarin

No?

No.

Do you know what this is?

Of course you do, it's a
counting string.

Common to every known
culture of the Orient.

Perhaps you'd like to
demonstrate to these gentlemen

Show us six.

Aha, by her calculations
there are in the region

- Tell me that's not a heathen.

It's most intriguing.

- Goodbye, I presume.

- Gently around my arm,
simple as that.

This is the proper way.

You're a terrible student.

- Caraboo, Caraboo.

It's a surprise.

- Round, the world is round.

I tried
to imagine her in her world.

But I kept going back to a

- Thank you for seeing me,
you have an excellent choir.

- Worrall, enormously
grateful for this opportunity.

Her ladyship hasn't
stopped talking about this

- Good, good.

- Apthorpe and Hobhouse
approached me in town.

- Oh Mr. Gutch, I did
enjoy your article

If
this girl had really

If she'd been so
imaginative as to do that

- The Dutch have colonized
many islands in the East Indies

Thank you.

- Have you ever been to London?

- Ah, Caraboo book.

Ah, so you've
seen it before.

- Did someone give it to you?

Did someone give it to you?

- Caraboo book.

If I may,

- I'm sorry, I'm
going to use it.

- Princess, princess,
the tattoo.

With your permission, princess.

You can trust me, I'll
just have a little look.

This is a scholarly
investigation.

Just a little further, oh yes,
yes.

No, princess, that is too
far, my heavens, perfection.

Mrs. Worrall.

- Mr. Wilkinson, it's Sunday.

- I'm sure you were Mr.
Wilkinson.

But I do feel in the
interests of propriety

- Never in my lifetime
has such a flame

- Poor man.

- Made a bloody fool of
himself, a bloody fool.

He served his purpose.

I want some peace around

- Mr. Worrall.

You are finished sir.

- You're a long way from
home and perhaps lonely.

A princess' duty is to her
station, her royal station.

- Rijang, I knew she was
telling the truth, those eyes.

Any man
obsessed is to be pitied.

And it wasn't just the
story I was obsessed with.

If I did discover a
different tale

to publish it would be
to condemn her.

- The bitch.
- Which one?

Good morning, John
Gutch to see Mrs. Peake.

- We've had three girls from
the charity in the last year.

In fact, when Harrison
asked her how long

- What did she look like,
this girl?

Was she beautiful?

But men often have such
different views.

You wouldn't describe
her as beautiful

Thank you very much.

That means goodbye.

- In what language?
- It's Mary's language.

With
those three words

♪ Balls of wits and
wicked stardust ♪

- Your royal highness, may
I present her royal highness

- May we instruct our
new cousin in the new

- An imprudent choice of
costume, Charles.

- Now, it's really
terribly simple.

three.

Back, side, together, one, two,
three.

Margaret, she's a very
good little dancer.

You shall live in it.

- I'm not going in.

I'm
certainly not going in.

I feel ridiculous.

- Highness.

- Who is that fellow?

- Mary, Mary Baker, I
know that you are

Mary Baker from Witherich,
I fear for you.

I fear that you'll
be discovered.

- Stop it, I know you
are Mary Baker.

Mary, I care what
happens to you.

Princess?

- Princess, may we
have the pleasure

of the next dance?

Who was that fellow,
looked like Byron.

- This way sir.

- Wake up, wake up,
- What's happening?

- It's morning.

- Are they still dancing?

- No, no, it's quiet.

- God's teeth, what shall we do?

Do you think we should go in?

Yes, I'll wait here.

- Oh, Jane, what a shame
you're so late.

You missed a marvelous evening.

Well of course you were,
silly girl.

- Well done, Mrs. Worrall,
my darling, darling woman.

Mr. Worrall sir, sir.

- God, they've sent
troops after us.

Halt, halt in the
name of the Prince Regent.

- Lieutenant Gordon at
your service ma'am.

- Ha, jolly good, well done.

Convey our gratitude to his
royal highness, carry on.

March!

This
girl's story would sell

I put her at enough
risk already.

Here's the piece on the ball.

- Ah, at a ball given in her
honor by Lord and Lady Apthorpe

- Go on, Mr. Frixos.

- But her most ardent
and persistent admirer

- I hope your majesty
will approve

- Does she understand?

- She will.

- Please go on, Mrs. Peake.

- When I told Charlotte
about the princess

- Mary?

Mary?

Mary, don't you recognize me?

- Mrs. worrall, there's no
doubt about it.

- Is this true?

- Very sorry ma'am,
I'm very sorry.

- Worthless, because of her,
worthless!

- But a trial, a spectacle,
surely we don't want to

- We are really the guilty ones.

- Who's guilty, us?

- And as Christians we are
taught blessed are the merciful.

Don't we Sam?

- Mr. Worrall, until now
I was not fully aware

- Well hang her tomorrow,
are you with me?

- I'm with you, of course,

- Mrs. worrall, may I have
a word with you please?

- Mr. Worrall says he's
gonna have her hanged.

Will they do it do you think?

- Yes, but to be hanged.

- Well, I wish I had the
pluck to do what she done.

She made fools of them
all, see, and she had

That girl danced all night
with the Prince Regent.

- That's Worrall's best claret.

To her royal highness, she
not Greek, she not French.

She not Indian, she not
African, she not Russian.

She our own princess, long
live the Princess Caraboo.

- Long live the
Princess Caraboo.

- I suppose you've come
to tell me you told me so.

- I'm sorry to have
deceived Mrs. Worrall

I don't mind about them.

- They're the ones that
may cost you.

- Well, I don't care what
they do to me.

- I care what they do to you.

I don't think what you've
done is reprehensible.

- Adventure, I suppose it was.

- How did you make up the
story, invent the language?

- Is that what it is?

It wasn't nothing difficult.

Them sailors all have tales
to tell of far-off lands

I seen a French girl begging,
and I see how good she does

But they take me to
see a Frenchman.

I don't know, it was easy.

When I was her, the princess,
I was her.

I just become her, it
comes natural

- I'd like to hear you
tell her story.

- I'm not telling it,
you'll be here all night.

From the moment
where she escapes

- "Land ho," cries the sailor.

Now the princess don't
know what that means

And the princess is so happy
at the sight of this land

You laughing at me, Mr. Gutch?

- Not in the least, it's
very beautiful.

Go on with it, please.

- And when her tears had
dried so that she could see

she saw England, a land
of unhappiness and misery.

The folks are
begging and hungry.

The princess wandered
across the country

But then she came to a village
where they reported her

'Cause princesses
don't ever beg.

Even when they're dying
of hunger they don't beg.

So she done nothing wrong,
and that's the truth.

I done nothing wrong,
not really.

Not enough to be hanged for.

- I'll do whatever I can
for you Mary, I promise.

- Would you make sure that these
are delivered to Mr. Gutch?

- Thank you.

- Ask him to wait in
the library.

- Who insists?

This is scandalous,
- It is.

- And these documents
prove that you have

- I would have thought
it sufficient to know

But I have a proposal,
an exchange.

- Oh ma'am.

- Don't thank me child,
you owe your deliverance

- Oh.

- I wish you every
success and happiness

- Thank you Mr. Frixos.

- Mr. Worrall, after 10
years of marriage

I've arranged lodgings for
you in Bristol.

The servants will remain
with me, of course

You'll need a housekeeper.

- Perhaps you'll write to me.

I'd like to hear how
Princess Caraboo

- New World, it will
be a new world for me.

Maybe I won't ever be
coming back.

- Perhaps you will one day.

- You might find your
way to America one day.

- I couldn't ask for
more than that.

In a
way that I never expected

What are the chances for
love in a man's life?

Very few, maybe one, and
I had not had the courage

to declare myself,
instead the coward in me

- I'm just down to the pie
shop, do you want anything?

This was my reality, I was a
printer, newspaper publisher

- Head her at the point, Mr.
Marlowe.

- Mrs. worrall, Mrs. worrall,
have you seen the paper?

- No, why?

- No, no, can't be true.

- Read it, very good story.

- The ship carrying
Princess Caraboo to America

It's a very good
story, it it true do you think?
