The Man Who Would Be King Movie Script

Everything's all right, then.

Cut, you buggers, cut!

And old Danny fell round and round and round and round like a penny whirligig.

Twenty thousand miles!

It took him half an hour to fall before he struck the rocks.

And do you know what they did to Peachy?

They crucified him, sir between two pine trees as Peachy's hands will show.

Poor Peachy, who'd never done them any harm.

He just hung there and he screamed, but he didn't die.

The next day they came and took him down and said it's a miracle he wasn't dead and they let him go.

And Peachy come home in about a year and the mountains they tried to fall on old Peachy but he was quite safe because Daniel walked before him.

And Daniel never let go of Peachy's hand.

And Peachy never let go of Daniel's head.

His head?

You knew Danny, sir.

Oh, yes.

You knew most worshipful Brother Daniel Dravot, Esquire.

Well he became the king of Kafiristan with a crown on his head.

And that's all there is to tell.

I'll be on my way now, sir.

I've got urgent business in the South.

I have to meet a man at Marwar Junction.
