The Man Who Would Be King Movie Script

- You just wait one jiffy.

Peachy, it's a Gurkha.

Rifleman Machendra Gurung.

Known to my regiment as Billy Fish.

Is that right? Well, report, rifleman.

What are you doing here?

Wherever here is.

- I come with Colonel Robertson, sir.

- The geographer?

Oh, dear me, alas, by Jove.

Party not reaching Er-Heb for very misfortunate reasons.

Large mountain is falling on everyone.

Everybody buried alive ex cept your servant.

What about them up there banging drums and then shooting arrows at us?

Big noise to scare away devils!

- Many devils here these days.

- They thought we was devils?

Kafiristan peoples very ignorant.

I say to head man Ootah, I say, "Oh, no, by Jove, they're not devils they're Gorasahibs.

British soldiers."

Good man, Billy Fish.

And now, if you'll take us to this Ootah bloke we will begin his education.

People of Er-Heb, do not fear.

They are our friends, not our enemies.

Do you understand?
