Full Script and Dialogue of A Pink Cloud Comes from Old Cathay
Ah. Well, friends and fellow citizens, we're here celebrating the reaching of a halfway point in the building of a new spur for the railroad line. I don't have to tell you how important this new transportation link is to us in terms of the shipping of our timber and ore and cattle. Now, Mr. Tindall, head of our merchants' committee, - has a few words to say. - Thank you, Ben. In commemoration of this great achievement, I'm asking Na Shan, the foreman of our construction crew, to drive in this silver spike. Hey! MAN: Hey, hey. And now I'd like to thank Wan Sai, head of the Fei Ling Foy Tong, for his work in completing the job on schedule up to this point. It has been good to work for men of honor who treat my brothers well. So long as this continues, you need not fear that laziness or sloth will overcome us. The work will be completed on schedule. Thank you, heh. Well, everything's going real good. I hope it keeps up. Well, I hope so too for your sake. I mean, you put more money and personal prestige into this thing than anybody. Oh, come on now. We're getting something out of it too, you know. Railroad's buying our wood for the ties. Uh, just a drop in the bucket compared to how much money you got in this thing. Just hope nothing goes wrong. What's everybody being such a Gloomy Gus about? We're happy. The investors are happy. Wan Sai is happy. Everybody is happy. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, I don't know. Such things as storms, floods, landslides and other natural calamities. Now, Adam, you know dang well nothing like that's gonna happen. As a matter of fact, I got some very special plans for a celebration - as soon as this land's finished. - Yeah? What kind of plans? You'll find out soon enough, little brother. Matter of fact, they ought to be coming into Virginia City any minute now Come on. Let's go home, heh. Hello, Rafe. It isn't often that the Wells Fargo is on the Ponderosa route. Well, it ain't very often, I reckon, that one of your boys gets this kind of a package. - Uh, what boy and, uh, which package? - Hoss and her. She's the shipment. Pfft. Is this the surprise you were expecting? Rafe, there's gotta be some sort of mistake. I sent for fireworks. Nope, no mistake. Says right here on the tag, "To Mr. Hoss Cartwright, Esquire, Ponderosa Ranch near Virginia City, Territory of Nevada, United States of America." But I ordered fireworks. From the Yip Hee Trading Company, Canton, China. Here is the bill of lading. "One wife to be delivered - in good condition." - Fireworks, Pa. Wife? Wife? I don't even know her. Name is Tai Li. Here's her passport. - And you can hand over $37.92. - But I ordered fire... That's the excess baggage charges. But I ordered fireworks, right? Pa, Pa, it was like this. See, I seen this advertisement in the San Francisco Argonaut and it said for $10 I could get this world's greatest display of fireworks from this Yip Hee Trading Company in Canton, China, so I ordered it so we could celebrate when the spur line was finished, and they got all mixed up and... And they sent me this. You insufferable stuffed artichoke! If you think you dislike having me here more than I dislike being here, you are grossly mistaken! It talks. And it talks English. And why not? If you can, anyone can. I shall use every word at my disposal to express my contempt for wife-trading. Wife-trading? No. See, Pa, that proves it's a mistake. Look. Rafe... Look, Rafe, just mark it "wrong address" and "send back to sender." - And just put it back on the wagon. - Oh, no, you don't. Least not in this wagon. Uh, Hoss, maybe you'd better accept the shipment temporarily until we can talk to the authorities. Well, if it's real temporary... You dare be supercilious to me? I ain't super nothing. But I ordered no wife neither. Sign here. That'll be 37.92 cash. I ordered fireworks. Uh, Rafe... - Did you say, uh, 37.92? - Right. Ten, 20, 30, 40. Keep the change. RAFE: Thanks. Fireworks. Hop Sing? Hop Sing! Where the blazes are you? This is very fine place. Typical of rich landowner who live by sweat of others less fortunate. Hop Sing! Yeah, well, most of the sweating that's done around here, we do it. - You call, Mr. Cartwright? - Yes, I called. Where were you when we were lugging in this stuff? Um, this is, uh, Miss Tai Li. She'll be our houseguest here for a while. Uh, this is Hop Sing, our chief cook and general factotum. Matter of fact, he's the man who runs the household. Most honor to meet lovely lady whose name mean "heavenly pink cloud." More like "grand old thunderstorm." It is nice to meet a countryman in such a far place. But not one in such menial work. Hop Sing no understand. Oh, well, uh, Miss Tai Li means that, uh, maybe being a cook is, uh, - well, beneath your dignity. - Beneath dignity? Have not give matter much thought. You will soon. Don't worry. Hoss, you come here. You help me hang this picture? Ahem, you, uh, you wanna hang that on the wall? I mean, uh, is it your grandmother or something? That happens to be the honorable Miss Lau Chu, president of the Revolutionary and World-Remaking Academy for Young Ladies in Fuzhou. I should say it used to be in Fuzhou. Uh, excuse me, uh... You're a graduate of...? What was the name of that school? Miss Lau Chu's Revolutionary and World-Remaking Academy for Young Ladies. Well, I almost a graduate. See? No bound feet. Oh, yeah, heh. What do you mean, um, almost a graduate? Well, you see, Miss Lau Chu has very progressive ideas. One of them was to eliminate the Dowager Empress of China, Cixi. The Dowager Empress struck first. You mean, uh, Miss Lau Chu, uh, paid the supreme penalty? She lost her head completely. I never got my diploma. All the students were scattered. I ended up in the hands of the infamous Yip Hee. You bought me from him. Well, I guess you'd, uh, better do penance and hang Miss Lau Chu. If you don't think that's committing double jeopardy. Good morning, venerable teacher. I dedicate this day to you. And I promise always to remember your three laws of progress: Never mind my own business, never allow people to be contented with their fate, and never be reasonable, for reason leads to compromise and compromise means defeat. She's out there working on Hop Sing now. - Who? - She. How many shes we got around here? Her! Tai Li. Oh, heh, Hoss, you're making mountains out of mole hills. They're fellow countrymen just talking. I don't know, Pa. It seems kind of fishy to me. I hope not. I hate fish for breakfast. - It's too early for jokes. - Hee-hee. - Let's eat. - That wasn't so bad, hee-hee. Oh, well. - Good morning. - Oh, good morning. Hoss. Only age knows value of courtesy. Hey, there's no fruit. Where's the fruit? I told you there's something fishy going on around here. Hop Sing, we usually have fresh fruit for breakfast. Where is it? No fruit today. Or no hot biscuits? Cold toast. No fruit. No hot biscuits. No eggs. No nothing, huh? And no thick slice of ham, fried potatoes, blueberry flapjacks, maple syrup, honey, crab apple jelly or apricot preserves either, right? Miss Lau Chu quote famous Occidental saying: "A laborer is worthy of his hire." Small pay, small food. Well, why all of a sudden? You never complained before. He was never educated to his poverty before. Oh, I got a half a notion... Why don't you just sit still until you get the other half? Uh, now, maybe Hop Sing deserves a raise. Of course, if we gave him a raise, we'd have to cut out those free trips to San Francisco, cut out squaring those fan-tan losses and giving him that extra money at New Year's. Both American and Chinese. - But Mr. Adam... - That is all, Hop Sing. I'm prepared to handle all negotiation. - Well, isn't that a pretty one? - Chinese wind chime. - Brought over from old country. - Yeah. Never seen one quite like this. Useful to keep out evil spirit and induce good spirit to go in. Very pleasant superstition. Your house is poorly designed to repel evil spirits. Yes, yes, I've often figured as much. You have no upturned eaves. No sharp projections to stick them and discourage their entry. Boy, I wish we'd have known about that a couple a days ago. Hoss. I reckon it's all that food I ain't been getting, Pa, that's making me grouchy. Fact is those extra hands for the roundup are gonna be coming in today. Gotta figure out some way to feed them since Hop Sing's in the mood he's in. Oh, don't worry about that. I got us a chuck wagon cook. You just make sure that the bunkhouse is ready for them. Checked it out. It's clean as a whistle. Good. What are these hands you are talking about? Well, that's western lingo for cowboys. Oh. And what is a bunkhouse? That's where we put them up. How come you're asking all these questions anyhow? All women are curious. Chinese women no different. Dang if they ain't. Howdy, Hoss. What are you fellas still doing in here? You were supposed to be out there an hour ago. I have answer for that. - What are you doing in here? - It is simple thing. I've appointed myself spokesman for the workers and they have accepted me. That's right, Hoss. "That's right, Hoss." What's the matter with you fellas anyhow? Listening to this silly little gal here barely out of her teens. You forgot the sense you was born with? Heh, well, me and the boys figure she's got a lot of sense, heh. Quit smiling like a moonfaced calf. Who are you calling a moonfaced calf? You! Rod, look, we got a thousand cattle running loose out there while you yahoos are in here playing games with this maverick! The men will work when you have met our demands, which are quite modest. "Our demands"? Yes. Extra men on all branding, roping and fence-mending teams. Better food on the... What you call it? Uh, chuck wagon. Heh, is that all? There is one other item. Oh. Uh, a pool table here in the bunkhouse. A what? A pool table here in the bunkhouse. How about some dimity curtains on your windows? - Maybe some little... - Now, wait a minute. You wait a minute! Sit down and shut up, Rod! - Leave him alone. - You too, Clarence! Shut up! - Intimidation will get you nowhere. - I ain't tried it yet. But I'm liable to if this continues. - Are you going to beat me? - Not exactly. I'm gonna give you a little something that Madam Lau Chu forgot. - What is that? - A good sound spanking. - You wouldn't dare. - Oh, I wouldn't, huh? - Good morning, Hoss. - Morning. You interested in my poor invention? Not in particular. What is it anyhow? You just find me small screwdriver, please. Very small. I have a delicate adjustment to make. Thank you. All right. Come on now, let me take a look. Are you sure you want to? Yeah. Well, in that case... - What's in it? - Music. It was brought to China by Yankee trader. Listen. I thought you said you invented it. I made a few modifications. Hey, it's "Pop Goes the Weasel," ain't it? Yes, you are a very fine judge of music. Don't take nothing to figure "Pop Goes the Weasel." - Oh. - It was harmless. Only smoke bomb to make you look funny and lose face. I see. And I guess that Miss Cha Lu taught you that too, huh? - Yes. Ms. Lau Chu teach everything. - Good, ugh, I hope. - I hope. I wish. - No, no, no! - I'll get you! - I hope she taught you to swim. I'll get you for this. I'll get you for this. This humble person request audience of illustrious Hoss Cartwright, distinguished middle son of household. Illustrious Mr. Hoss must have read visitor mind. Already hear him approaching with honorable father. She's more humiliated than hurt, but she's sure mad. - Hello, Na Shan. - Mr. Cartwright. - Nice to see you. - Shan. - Well, come on and sit down. - Thank you. Well, what can I do for you? You can do nothing, venerable sir. But Mr. Hoss can do much. Me? What? It concerns grave slipup in operation of Yip Hee Trading Company of Canton, China. Did you say Yip Hee Trading Company of Canton, China? Some months ago, I made contract with esteemed Yip Hee himself. He is to send me beautiful bride. I am to pay San Francisco agents so many U.S. gold eagles. Well, I pay money, but don't get bride. Hoss, wasn't that the trading company that...? Yep. And you heard that Hoss had received what you had expected to receive and didn't, and so you've come to, uh, claim her. Is that it? You hit nail on head, sir. Well, old friend, I was never so glad to do a man a favor. - Heh. - See, I ordered these fireworks from the Yip Hee Trading Company and I never reckoned on the kind I got. No, she's yours. You take her. First must make sure goods not damaged. Oh, heh, the question's silly. It most certainly is. I am not a commodity for international barter. I do not recognize the right of this man to buy me like a cow. Any more than that of this man. Do my eyes deceive me? Moon Goddess herself, whom you must surely resemble, would get no more tender treatment from me than you. Illustrious maiden. Why waste time spouting poetic speech? You have not yet mastered simple morality. You think me a bauble to be played with and tossed aside? Uh, I consider you my promised wife yearned for during lonely nights. Promised? Not by me. And may I hasten to point out, it is broad daylight. No, wait a minute, wait a minute. What are you two arguing about anyhow? Why, you're gonna have years to do that in. You don't believe in slavery, do you? Well, sort of, on a temporary basis. What he means, Tai Li, is that, uh, love makes a slave of us all, heh. No more foolishness. Man not made to be shamed by woman. - We go now. - I go nowhere with you. I stay here on Ponderosa. I make life better for all, not just one man. No good China girl act so. Well, you've never met up with one that was taught by Miss Lau Chu before. Miss Lau Chu? Complete stranger. This woman is bewitched. Honorable Hoss Cartwright has put her under spell. Me? Oh, now, Na Shan, you don't believe that. Why, you're an educated man. You're a student. Heh, you don't believe any such nonsense, do you? Not so sure. But men do crazy things for love. Yeah, but I ain't that crazy yet. You watch language, you miserable worm. You see? Already she treat him like husband. Well, ahem, why, I think we should have a cooling-off period. I stay hot, thank you. Go now. End of story not yet told. Tai Li, you're gonna end up an old maid sure as shooting. I bet you not. Oh, Tai Li, Na Shan is such a wonderful young man. You treated him so terribly. He's got a good job and a bright future. - Yeah. - Oh, what kind of work he do? He's the foreman of a railroad construction crew. Oh, how interesting. Where is this work being done? On Green Meadows out by Otter Creek. Oh, well, it would be interesting to see how other countrymen work in this new land. It would be a lot more interesting if you'd go out and apologize to Na Shan. - Sure would. - Oh, I will speak to Na Shan. Rest assured. Well, a railroad camp is no place for a young girl to go. Miss Lau Chu teach us to handle all men in all situations. She could. Pa! Hoss! Hey, Adam. - Where is everybody? - What's the matter? - Is the woods on fire? - You're not too far from being right. Hey, Pa! BEN: Yeah? Yeah? - Well, she's at it again. - She? Who? What? You got a pretty short memory. Tai Li. I was just hoping against hope, that's all. Not the railroad workers. That's the only thing left. Nobody else. And if they go along with her, we're in real trouble. How could one wrongheaded woman make fools of so many men? Well, I guess you've forgotten about Eve, Cleopatra and Lucrezia Borgia. Not to mention Madam Lau Chu. And it took another woman to nail her. Look, Pa, you're gonna have to take control. You're gonna have to show her who's boss. - I have a feeling she already knows. - You ain't giving up? Son, we've just begun to fight. I think it's safe to say that. Come on. You need more money! You must rise above your suppressors! The history of the world proves that revolution is the only answer to tyranny! You must rise against your oppressors. Listen to me, men. The history of life proves that truth seldom comes in fancy wrapping. Law of Fei Ling Foy says brothers must follow master of Tong. I command you, do not listen to silken words. Who shall you follow? Old man or young woman? When do we begin to fight, Pa? Or would it be better to run and fight another day? You need more money! - Yeah! Ah, the bosses come to intimidate you. Now, wait a minute. How could we four intimidate all of you? We've just come to reason with you and, uh, to point out that this baby ought to be back in her crib so that grown men could get on with their work. You are wise not to heed speech of serpent. And this baby not ready for crib yet. Now, look, I'm talking to these men. Have you decided to follow this, uh, Joan of Arc? That is first true thing you say. I am addressing myself to them. What is it you want? What are your demands? We have not yet formulated our demands. In that case, don't you think the men should continue to work until you do? No, we shall strike first. Miss Lau Chu would insist. - All right, Tai Li. You've done enough damage for one day. Let's get on home. As rebel leader, I choose to stay with rebels. Do you think you'll feel as comfortable here as back at the Ponderosa? It's an awful long way to call for help. Tai Li, it's just as comfortable to negotiate at the house. Now, let's go. Goodbye for now, my brothers. But I promise, victory shall be ours! Tai Li, uh, how come, uh, you met this Miss Lau Chu? Well, you see, my honorable father was rug trader from Persia. He come to China on business trip. He married my mother. She was Chinese princess. This was against imperial law. Dowager Empress, after I was born, take my honorable father's life. My mother was desperate. She worry for my life too. Then she learn about Miss Lau Chu. So with hidden money, she send me there. Now, surely your mother didn't send you to Miss Lau Chu to study the art of vengeance. No, Mother too soft. But Miss Lau Chu, she's strong like tiger. She say vengeance important part of making revolution. Seems to me that Miss Lau Chu would have wanted you to be a very good judge of when to make revolutions. Wan Sai here. He pretty mad. That seems to be the normal condition of everybody lately. Maybe you better come in kitchen with Hop Sing. You want me to run from enemies? Sure, Hop Sing do all the time. Wan Sai, you honor our home. Won't you sit down, please? Uh, would you care for some tea? No, thank you, honorable master of this dwelling. I put my pride aside to come and beg your intervention with this... This visitor in your house. Oh, yeah, well, uh, as a matter of fact, I was just about to discuss the situation with her. Good, because I do not know how to discuss business with a woman. That is because you men have never admitted we have brains. I know how difficult uh, your coming here must have been for you. But we'll, uh, do everything in our power to remedy the situation. Then ask this person to name her conditions. - Well, Tai Li? - I have not yet decided conditions. Tell this person, sign agreement. I will fill in condition later. Well, I wouldn't do any such ridiculous thing. Then men strike until you do. I'm an old man, but my patience grows thin. Yeah. Wan Sai, I'll do everything I can to persuade the young lady to act with more consideration for all concerned. I regret my humiliation in coming here. I should have listen to advice of Tong brothers. Hoss. All right, Miss Tai Li. I think the time has come to stop playing games. I am not playing games. You have become involved in something far beyond your very immature understanding. Miss Lau Chu teach me to understand everything. I can just understand how that Dowager Empress must have felt... Please, do not blaspheme. Psst. Hi, fella, what can I do for you? Once more. Easy. Mr. Hoss, he gone. Hop Sing find this when go dumping out garbage. - What's that gotta do with the garbage? - This Tong chopper. Hop Sing find wheelbarrow track leading to wagon track. Maybe they take him to Fei Ling Foy Tong house. I'm gonna find out about this. Come the revolution, Miss Lau Chu teach peoples no more Tong. You just better hope that nothing has happened to Hoss, young lady, because of Miss Lau Chu's teachings. Prisoner, you've heard me judge you guilty. Have you anything to say before sentence is passed? - Yeah, this ain't constitutional. - I agree. This is highly irregular. Welcome, Mr. Cartwright. We've been expecting you. - Your son is in grave trouble. - Yes. I know, Wan Sai. But, uh, I'm surprised at your methods. You, surprised? But at the last meeting, I told you if your methods failed, I must use age-old methods of Tong. But why against my son? Because Na Shan has accused your son of casting a spell over Tai Li. Now, we found Hoss, Pa. Let's get out of here. Only when I say so, gentlemen. Please, look behind you. Wan Sai, I have a suggestion I would like to discuss. Can afford brief truce while you expound suggestion. Thank you. Would you like to see Tai Li under the influence of a husband? Would I not. Have already offered prayers to the gracious Kuan Yin. What have you to say to this? If this person who has bewitched her will fight for her. Excellent. Agreed. - Pa, wait a minute! - Shh, shh. So be it. May the spirits of earth, air and water favor the better man. - Thank you, Wai San. - Pa. - Boy, how did you get to be so lucky? - Let's go, son. Pa, wait a minute. What are you trying to do to me? Well, Hoss, just think of this as a sort of a chess game. - A chess game? - Yeah. Right now Wan Sai's stalemated and you're freed. Yeah. Yeah, but what's this about having to fight for Tai Li? Oh, that. Well, that's another game entirely. Yeah, and she's the only one that knows the rules. Well, don't be too sure. You know, Pa, maybe he ain't gonna show up. It's been a full day already. Well, one day, two days, today, tomorrow. He'll show up. I sure hope you know what you're doing. I know what I'm doing, son. Tai Li is no different from any other woman. She ain't? Well, up until now she has been. Oh, how interesting. You prepare weapon to fight for me. No, I prepare a thing to dig a hole with. A hole that I wish I was in. I do not understand. You should prepare for fight. Miss Lau Chu teach, always be prepared. Always be ready to fight for revolution. Ahem, Tai Li, as a, uh, as a student of revolutions, it might be of interest to you that this country was born out of a revolution. - Can this be true? - Yes. Yes, it can. Miss Lau Chu never mentioned this. Well, Miss Lau Chu notwithstanding to the contrary, et cetera, et cetera, it is true. The American Revolution was one of the first great victories for liberty and freedom. So you see, we really don't need anyone to teach us about revolutions and things like that. Although once you're married, you'll have other things to occupy your mind. Then I shall not marry. I will not give up work of great teacher. Well, as I told you before, the Immigration Office in San Francisco says you either get married or go back to China. And as I told you before, that is injustice, tyranny, outrage! But it is better than going back to China and having head chopped off like Miss Lau Chu. Yeah. Besides, I can easily train husband. Yeah, ahem, you're gonna have to find one first though. Where is Na Shan? Why has he not come to fight for me? Well, that just could be that he's got a whole lot more sense than you gave him credit for. Oh, he's probably preparing himself. He'll show up. He better. I know how to take care of person who insult me. Honorable Hoss Cartwright? The moment of decision has arrived. Hoss Cartwright. Hoss Cartwright. Hoss Cartwright. - What's going on, Pa? - Shh. You're about to witness the battle of the century. Well, what's Hoss gonna fight with, a can opener? I challenge Hoss Cartwright, if you are not coward descended from long line of same. Come out and fight for Tai Li. And nothing lost in translation. Oh, look, there ain't no use in me and you batting heads over this little gal. Why, she's all yours anyhow. You just take her. And there ain't nothing lost in the transfer. Now, hold on there, son. Did you hear what he said about being descended from a long line...? - You trying to make me out a coward? - Well, no, Pa, but... You try and make me look undesirable? - No, but couldn't we...? - Son. Get in there and fight. Pa, he's got a sword. Hoss, you're not trying to win, are you, huh? They fight over me, like two knights fighting over fairy princess. Son. You never receive fireworks. I deliver now. Son. Na Shan, you are my hero. I like you pretty much, but Na Shan is greatest revolter of all. I'll tell you this. Best fight I ever lost. It's something too. Well, I'm very happy to announce the resumption of work on the railroad spur. And I'm even happier to announce that Tai Li has given up politics in favor of matrimony. Although she unquestionably has left her mark. That's right. We've got the first pool table in any bunkhouse in the territory. Even I concede credit for helping Tong brothers get slight raise in pay. Hop Sing getting new stove and cookbook. Cookbook. - They any good? - No. - And I have the best of all. - Best yet to come. Miss Lau Chu. Keep on wall. She keep away evil spirit. Well... Well, don't feel too bad. You can still write the Yip Hee Trading Company. We have the Fourth of July, you know. Hey, yeah. Might be sort of interesting to see what kind of fireworks they send this time, huh?
