The Man Who Would Be King Movie Script

- You don't believe that, I hope.

If a king can't sing, it ain't worth being king.

The country was mountainous and the mules was most contrary.

They all died but one.

And she died later on.

Danny went snow-blind and clung to jenny's tail.

Up and up we went, and down and down.

Through defiles and over snowy saddles till all at once two giants stood in our way.

God's holy trousers.

What's the matter?

Blokes twice our size standing guarding the snow, like. Two of them.

Give them a round apiece.

Not a move out of them.

Stay put.

I'll reconnoitre.

They're not real, thank God.

They're horrible.

Put there by the Kafiris to frighten the neighbours.

Peachy, that means we're in Kafiristan. Or almost.

So it does.

- What was that?

- Our bridges have been burned.

What do you mean?

The bridge we crossed by ain't there no longer.

God.
