Fantasy Island (1977–1984): Season 3, Episode 22 - My Fair Pharaoh/The Power - full transcript

(BELL TOLLING)

THE PLANE! THE PLANE!

(GIRLS GIGGLING)

GOOD MORNING, BOSS.
GOOD MORNING, TATTOO.

(BIRD CAWING)

ROARKE: LET'S GO.

SMILES, EVERYONE. SMILES.

WHO ARE THEY, BOSS?

ROARKE: UH, HIS NAME
IS MR. FRED WEBSTER,

A MAN WHO WANTS MORE
CONTROL OVER HIS LIFE.

THE ATTRACTIVE YOUNG LADY
ACCOMPANYING HIM IS MISS LAURA CRANE.



SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.

MAYBE HE WANTS MORE
CONTROL OVER MISS CRANE.

HARDLY, TATTOO.

MR. WEBSTER WANTS THE KIND
OF POWER THAT DEMANDS RESPECT.

HE WANTS TO TAKE CHARGE, MAKE
THINGS HAPPEN, MAKE THINGS MOVE.

TATTOO: WHY DON'T WE
MAKE HIM A SENATOR?

NOTHING SO MUNDANE
AS A MERE POSITION.

THE WAY MR. WEBSTER
WISHES TO MOVE THINGS

IS THROUGH THE FORCE
OF HIS OWN WILLPOWER,

WHICH MAY VERY WELL BRING
DESTRUCTION DOWN ON OTHERS,

AND VERY LIKELY ON HIMSELF.

WOW. WHO IS SHE, BOSS?

HER NAME IS MISS LUCY
ATWELL, A VERY NICE LADY

WHOSE FANTASY IS
TO GO BACK IN TIME



TO THE LAND OF THE PHARAOHS,
THE GREAT SPHINX AND THE...

I KNOW. SHE WANTS
TO BE CLEOPATRA.

EXACTLY, TATTOO.

CLEOPATRA, QUEEN OF ALL EGYPT.

WHAT A FANTASY. OUI.

AH! BUT WHAT MISS
ATWELL WILL LEARN

IS THAT THE SCEPTER OF ROYALTY
BEARS FRUIT AS BITTER AS IT IS SWEET,

AND AS DEADLY AS
THE WORST POISON.

MY DEAR GUESTS, I AM
MR. ROARKE, YOUR HOST.

WELCOME TO FANTASY ISLAND.

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

LUCY ATWELL: MR. ROARKE. YES?

AM I ACTUALLY GOING TO
BE ABLE TO GO BACK IN TIME

TO 49 B.C. AND SIT ON
THE EGYPTIAN THRONE?

IT'S YOUR FANTASY, ISN'T IT?

WE WOULD NOT MAKE SUCH A PROMISE UNLESS
WE INTENDED TO CARRY IT OUT, MISS ATWELL.

HOW IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN?

SINCE YOU WILL BE IN A DIFFERENT
TIME FRAME, MISS ATWELL,

I CANNOT PROVIDE YOU WITH
ALL THE DETAILS OF YOUR FANTASY.

HOWEVER, LET ME WARN YOU.

YOU ARE GOING BACK TO
A REAL TIME IN HISTORY.

A TIME OF GREAT
POLITICAL UPHEAVAL,

FULL OF ASSASSINATIONS, WAR,
SLAVERY, PALACE INTRIGUES.

SAVAGE TIMES.

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR
MIND, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO.

OH, I'M NOT GOING
TO CHANGE MY MIND.

THIS HAS ALWAYS
BEEN MY ONE BIG DREAM.

VERY WELL.

BUT YOU UNDERSTAND THE
DANGERS OF THE SITUATION,

AND YOU ARE DETERMINED
TO GO THROUGH WITH IT?

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT, WILL
YOU COME WITH ME?

THIS WAY, PLEASE.

NOW? NOW.

BUT THIS IS JUST LIKE
SOME SORT OF OLD MUSEUM.

I REALLY EXPECTED SOMETHING A
BIT MORE THAN THIS, MR. ROARKE.

OH, DID YOU?

WELL, PERHAPS YOU'RE RIGHT.

I TOLD TATTOO
EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED,

BUT HE OBVIOUSLY MISUNDERSTOOD.

WELL, I SHALL SPEAK TO HIM...

VERY SHARPLY, I ASSURE YOU.

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?

(SIGHING) OH, NO.
THIS WON'T DO AT ALL.

MR. ROARKE? MR. ROARKE?

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(GASPS)

IT'S CLEOPATRA'S BARGE.

(GASPING) HOW FABULOUS!

HE REALLY DID IT.

MAN: LOOK OUT! IT'S THE
PHARAOH'S SLAVE MASTER!

ABDU: OUT OF MY WAY! MAN: OH!

WHAT STRANGE MANNER OF
BARBARIAN DRESS IS THIS? TURN AROUND.

I BEG YOUR PARDON!

I SAID TURN AROUND!

WITHOUT THAT RIDICULOUS
COSTUME, I SEE PROMISE.

COME ALONG. NOW,
WAIT A MINUTE...

MOVE! OR YOU'LL FEEL
THE BITE OF MY WHIP.

BUT WHAT... WHAT DO
YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

OH, YOU ARE ROUGH.

(SIGHING)

YOU'LL BRING A GOOD
PRICE, PRETTY GIRL.

YOUR PROBLEM THEN, AS
YOU EXPLAIN IT, MR. WEBSTER,

IS YOUR LACK OF ASSERTIVENESS.

EXACTLY, MR. ROARKE. AHA.

YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE THE KIND OF PERSON
WHO WOULD WANT TO BOSS PEOPLE AROUND.

BUT THAT'S THE PROBLEM, TATTOO.

MY LIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
UNDER THE CONTROL OF OTHERS.

FIRST IT WAS MY WIDOWED
MOTHER. THEN WHEN SHE DIED,

MY OLDER BROTHER
TOOK OVER MY LIFE.

BUT I WANT TO CONTROL MY
OWN DESTINY FOR A CHANGE.

AND YET A VERY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG
LADY ACCOMPANIED YOU TO FANTASY ISLAND.

THAT'S BECAUSE I BEGGED HER TO.

BUT A WOMAN WANTS A MAN TO
TAKE CONTROL OF HIS LIFE AND HERS.

TO BE, UM... WHAT IS IT CALLED?

A MOVER?

(STAMMERING) A MAN THAT
MAKES THINGS HAPPEN.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT I
WANT TO BE, MR. ROARKE.

A MOVER? MMM-HMM.

IT IS BELIEVED THAT MOST
PEOPLE USE LESS THAN SIX PERCENT

OF THEIR BRAIN'S POTENTIAL.
IMAGINE, MR. WEBSTER, SIX PERCENT!

YET WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN
POWERS WHICH EXIST IN ALL OUR MINDS,

BUT THEY REMAIN
DORMANT, ASLEEP, UNUSED.

YES.

TATTOO.

THANK YOU.

WHAT IS THAT?

A TASTELESS POTION, MR. WEBSTER.

IF YOU SWALLOW IT, IT WILL RELEASE ONE
OF THE DORMANT POWERS OF WHICH I SPOKE.

HOWEVER, I WARN YOU
THAT WITH SUCH A POWER

GOES AN EQUAL AND
AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY.

YES, I UNDERSTAND.

CHEERS.

(GASPING)

(FRED GROANING)

WHAT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?

IN PARAPSYCHOLOGY, THE ABILITY I'VE
JUST GIVEN YOU IS CALLED TELEKINESIS.

IT'S YOURS FOR THE WEEKEND.

UM... YOU WERE
ADMIRING THAT VASE.

LOOK AT IT AGAIN, MR. WEBSTER.
NOW, CONCENTRATE.

USE YOUR NEW POWER
TO MAKE IT MOVE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

USE YOUR POWER
WELL, MR. WEBSTER.

YES, YES, I WILL. I
WILL. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. ROARKE!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, YES!

I... I REALLY AM A MOVER!

WATCH IT.

I'M SORRY, TATTOO.

GOOD LUCK.

WILL YOU EXCUSE US, MR. WEBSTER?

YES. TATTOO.

BYE. GOODBYE.

GOODBYE, TATTOO. THANK YOU.

(LAUGHING)

ABDU, WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

THE MAJOR DOMO BOUGHT
THIS SLAVE FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

IF SHE GIVES ANY
TROUBLE, LET ME KNOW.

(SIGHING)

LUCY: HUH! HE CERTAINLY
BELIEVES IN BRUTE FORCE.

SHH. HANDMAIDENS ARE NOT
PERMITTED TO SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TO.

COME WITH ME.

YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY TO BE
BOUGHT AS A SLAVE IN THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD.

I DON'T CONSIDER IT LUCKY
TO BE A SLAVE ANYWHERE.

LOOK, THERE HAS BEEN
A VERY BIG MISTAKE HERE.

GET INTO THIS
QUICKLY. WHAT IS THAT?

YOU EXPECT ME TO PUT
THIS ON? WONDERFUL.

I COME HERE EXPECTING
TO BE CLEOPATRA,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE TO GET
DOLLED UP TO BE IN SOMEBODY'S HAREM.

THIS IS SOME FANTASY.

MOVE, GIRL. I'M NOT
GONNA TELL YOU AGAIN.

QUICKLY, GIRLS! QUICKLY!

PHARAOH PTOLEMY IS HERE.

HANDMAIDEN: QUICKLY,
GIRL. THE PHARAOH IS HERE.

LUCY: WHAT DO YOU
EXPECT ME TO DO?

YOU WILL NOTICE THE RESEMBLANCE
IMMEDIATELY, YOUR MAJESTY.

YOU WILL SEE THAT I HAVE
NOT WASTED YOUR TIME.

YES, THIS ONE, OF COURSE.

DISMISS THE OTHERS.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

LUCY ATWELL.

SHE OBVIOUSLY COMES
FROM SOME DISTANT PROVINCE.

YOU HAVE A REMARKABLE
RESEMBLANCE TO MY SISTER, CLEOPATRA.

AND TONIGHT, LUCY, YOU SHALL RULE
AS QUEEN OVER THE EGYPTIAN EMPIRE.

WHAT DO YOU SAY OF THAT?

(SIGHS) NOTHING. I MEAN...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MARC ANTHONY AND HIS ROMAN LEGIONS
ARE POISED AT THE GATES OF OUR EMPIRE.

IF HE ATTACKS, EGYPT IS DOOMED.

BUT WHERE'S THE REAL QUEEN?
WHY AM I TAKING HER PLACE?

THE REAL QUEEN IS
MY SISTER, CLEOPATRA.

SHE WOULD MAKE AN ALLIANCE WITH
ANTHONY, WHICH WOULD MEAN MY DOWNFALL.

THEREFORE, SHE IS MY
PRISONER IN THE PALACE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME, YOUR MAJESTY?

I HAVE INVITED MARC ANTHONY HERE

UNDER THE GUISE OF
NEGOTIATING A PEACE TREATY.

WHILE YOU KEEP HIM OCCUPIED,

WE WILL POSITION OUR
TROOPS AND DESTROY HIM.

(SIGHS) BUT SURELY HE'S GOING TO
KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE REAL CLEOPATRA.

MARC ANTHONY HAS
NEVER SEEN CLEOPATRA.

AND YOU HAVE THE LOOK

AND THE BEARING AND
CERTAINLY THE CHARM.

HENCEFORTH YOU WILL BE KNOWN
AS CLEOPATRA, QUEEN OF ALL EGYPT.

BUT KNOW THIS, GIRL.

ALL OF MY PEOPLE KNOW
YOU'RE AN IMPOSTER.

IF YOU TRY TO BETRAY ME,

YOU'LL BE DEAD BEFORE THE
WORDS ARE HALF OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

I APPRECIATE THIS CHANCE
TO TALK TO YOU, MR. ROARKE.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR
YOU, MISS CRANE?

WELL...

(SIGHS)

I'M WORRIED ABOUT FRED.

MR. WEBSTER.

AHA.

I LOVE HIM.

AND I UNDERSTAND THIS
PROBLEM OF HIS, THIS OBSESSION.

HE THINKS HE HAS TO PROVE TO ME
THAT HE'S THIS VITAL, ASSERTIVE MAN.

BUT THE TRUTH IS, I'D...

I'D TAKE HIM JUST THE WAY HE IS.

THE ONLY PERSON HE HAS TO
PROVE ANYTHING TO IS HIMSELF.

PERHAPS HE SHALL, MISS CRANE.

GIVE HIM A LITTLE TIME
TO DEVELOP HIS FANTASY.

REMARKABLE THINGS CAN
HAPPEN ON THIS ISLAND.

YOU MEAN EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT?

NO, NO, I CAN'T
PROMISE THAT AT ALL.

MR. WEBSTER NOW HAS A POWER,

WHICH COULD DESTROY
HIM IF HE MISUSES IT.

HERE HE COMES NOW. WHAT
SHALL I DO, MR. ROARKE?

SEND HIM AWAY.

SEND HIM AWAY?

TRUST HIM, AND
TRUST ME, MISS CRANE.

TRUST ME.

HI. HI.

WELL, HOW DO I LOOK?

OH, DIFFERENT.

YEAH, I FEEL DIFFERENT, TOO.

LISTEN, I THOUGHT MAYBE WE
COULD DO SOMETHING TOGETHER,

JUST MAYBE HAVE A DRINK
OR SOMETHING. OH, FRED.

FRED, YOU ARE TRYING AND I
APPRECIATE THAT, BUT RIGHT NOW I...

I HAVE TO UNPACK AND TAKE A NAP.

YOU COME BACK LATER, OKAY?

WELL, LAURA, I...

MAGNIFICENT.

REGAL SPLENDOR,
BEFITTING ANY QUEEN.

YOU WILL HAVE MARC ANTHONY
CRAWLING AT YOUR FEET.

OH, I'M TERRIFIED.

WHAT IF I CAN'T?

NONSENSE, CHILD.
YOU CAN AND YOU WILL.

AND YOU HAD BETTER. UNDERSTAND?

YOU WILL GIVE MARC ANTHONY
ANYTHING HE WANTS TO OCCUPY HIS TIME.

ANYTHING.

OR I'LL FLOG YOU
TO DEATH MYSELF.

GUARD!

ESCORT THE QUEEN
TO THE THRONE ROOM.

YOU MAKE A MOST BEAUTIFUL
QUEEN, MISS ATWELL.

(EXCLAIMING IN SURPRISE)

MR. ROARKE! I AM
SO GLAD TO SEE YOU!

I SEE YOU HAVE ATTAINED
YOUR FANTASY, MISS ATWELL.

WELL, NOT QUITE.

RIGHT NOW THE BIGGEST FANTASY
THAT I HAVE IS THAT I'M STILL ALIVE.

FIRST THEY TURN ME INTO A SLAVE,

AND THEN THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO
CUT OUT MY TONGUE WANT TO BOIL ME IN OIL.

YES, BUT HERE YOU ARE NOW,
THE ACTING QUEEN OF EGYPT,

ABOUT TO CONDUCT A MOST FASCINATING
LIAISON WITH MARC ANTHONY, HIMSELF.

WELL, THAT'S ANOTHER THING. I'M
ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED ABOUT MEETING HIM.

WHY? WELL...

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS RIDICULOUS,

BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IN
LOVE WITH MARC ANTHONY.

BUT YOU NEVER MET HIM. I KNOW.

I TOLD YOU IT WAS RIDICULOUS,

BUT I'VE READ EVERYTHING
ABOUT HIM AND HIS TIMES.

LOOK, MY MOTHER WAS IN LOVE WITH
RHETT BUTLER AND SHE NEVER MET HIM EITHER.

OH, I SEE.

(SIGHS) BUT WHAT DO
I DO? WHAT DO I SAY?

HOW DO I ACT?

PLAY THE GAME YOU
ARE IN AS YOU WOULD

IF YOU WERE TRULY QUEEN.

THE PROPER ANSWERS
ARE IN YOUR OWN MIND,

AND IN YOUR OWN HEART.

SEARCH FOR THEM, MISS ATWELL.

SEARCH FOR THEM.

COME.

PTOLEMY AND MARC
ANTHONY AWAIT YOU.

HUSTLER: FOURTEEN
BALL, SIDE POCKET.

STEPHANIE: HEY!
HUSTLER: WHAT A SHOT.

THAT'S GOOD. FANTASTIC SHOT.

(WHOOPS)

STEPHANIE: OH, I LIKE THAT.
HEY. MAN: THE BOY IS HOT.

THAT'S THE LAST FIFTY
YOU'RE GONNA TAKE FROM ME.

NICE TABLE.

YOU LOOK LIKE A
POOL PLAYER, MISTER.

WHO, ME?

YEAH.

FIFTY BUCKS A GAME,
STRAIGHT POOL. YOU CAN BREAK.

OH, OKAY.

WOW!

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?

I SAW IT, BUT I
DON'T BELIEVE IT.

OH, OH, THANKS.

I NEED A DRINK.

A THOUSAND DOLLARS IF
YOU CAN DO THAT AGAIN.

OH, I CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.

I CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.

OH, UH... I'VE NEVER PLAYED
A GAME OF POOL IN MY LIFE.

OH, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE. COME ON, TRY.

OKAY. RACK 'EM UP.

YOU READY?

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, TRY AND CRACK
THAT FRONT BALL,

OH, I WILL, I WILL. DEAD CENTER.

OKAY, NICE AND EASY.

STEPHANIE: I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

MAN: ALL RIGHT. STEPHANIE: HEY!

(STEPHANIE GASPS)

MAN: THOSE BALLS
ARE GOING WACKY.

STEPHANIE: AMAZING!

(EXCLAIMING IN SURPRISE)

MAN: WOW, THIS IS CRAZY.

WOW! HERE.

OH, NO, NO, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

I ALWAYS PAY MY DEBTS.

ALWAYS. COME HERE.

(SIGHING)

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? FRED.

STEPHANIE. HI.

I'M A VERY FRANK PERSON, FRED.

I MUST SEE YOU LATER, FRED.

TOGETHER WE COULD MAKE
SOME VERY BIG THINGS HAPPEN.

8:00? DOWN BY THE LAGOON?

WILL I SEE YOU THERE?

8:00.

PTOLEMY: HAIL, MARC
ANTHONY! PROCONSUL OF ROME!

THE EGYPTIAN EMPIRE WELCOMES
MARC ANTHONY, THE PROCONSUL OF ROME.

THE ROMAN EMPIRE GRACIOUSLY ACCEPTS
THE HOSPITALITY OF THE EGYPTIAN EMPIRE

AND ITS NOBLE RULERS,
PTOLEMY AND CLEOPATRA.

WELCOME, MARC ANTHONY.

WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY.

I HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES
OF YOUR GREAT BEAUTY.

THEY'RE ALL SURPASSED
BY THE REALITY.

THANK YOU.

BUT NOTHING IS MORE GLORIOUS
THAN THE STORIES OF MARC ANTHONY,

MIGHTY CONQUEROR OF BRUTUS.

I DO BELIEVE IT IS I WHO
HAVE BEEN CONQUERED.

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD RETIRE TO A MORE
PRIVATE PLACE TO DISCUSS AFFAIRS OF STATE.

THAT'S AN EXCELLENT
SUGGESTION, YOUR MAJESTY.

A WARM, TROPICAL NIGHT.

COOL, SENSUAL WATER, AND US.

(CHUCKLES)

IT'S MAGIC.

LISTEN, I THINK WE'RE GOING
JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO FAST. UH...

THERE'S A GIRL. UM, HER
NAME'S LAURA CRANE.

SHE'S HERE WITH ME, AND WE'RE...

(SIGHING) WE'RE SORT
OF ENGAGED, YOU KNOW.

I CAN MAKE YOU FORGET
ANY WOMAN IN THE WORLD.

BUT I CAN'T FORGET HER!
THAT'S THE PROBLEM. YOU SEE, I...

I LOVE HER.

OKAY. THEN WE'LL MAKE IT
A STRAIGHT BUSINESS DEAL.

FOR NOW.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS,

IS THAT WE FOLLOW THE YELLOW
BRICK ROAD TO MONTE CARLO,

VEGAS, TOGETHER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT? IT'S YOU AND ME, BABY.

NOW, LOOK, STEPHANIE, I
THINK YOU GOT ME ALL WRONG.

I MEAN, I ENJOYED THE
SWIM AND ALL. BUT I...

LISTEN TO ME.

SOME OF THE HIGHEST ROLLERS
HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER HERE

FOR THE BIG DICE GAME TOMORROW.

I SET IT UP.

I WAS PLANNING TO
DUKE A CALENDAR, BUT...

I WON'T NEED TO DO THAT NOW.

A CALENDAR?

PHONY DICE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN. OH, NEVER MIND.

THIS WAY IS SO MUCH BETTER.

WE JUST PLAY IT STRAIGHT,
AND THEN YOU, UH,

MAKE THE DICE COME UP
THE WAY WE WANT THEM TO.

YOU MEAN YOU WANT ME TO USE MY

POWER TO CHEAT?

I WANT YOU TO USE YOUR POWER
FOR WHAT'S BEST FOR BOTH OF US.

NO, I'M SORRY, I
WON'T DO IT. NO.

FRED, SWEETHEART,
DON'T MAKE ME GET ROUGH.

THIS IS MUCH TOO BIG TO PASS ON.

YOU WILL DO IT.

NO, YOU'RE WRONG.

(LAUGHING)

I'M NEVER WRONG.

OH!

LAURA, I...

(CHUCKLING)

EXCUSE ME.

THAT DIFFERENCE YOU
MENTIONED ABOUT YOURSELF, FRED.

I'M BEGINNING TO
SEE WHAT YOU MEAN.

(STAMMERING) NOW,
LAURA, I... LAURA, I CAN...

I CAN EXPLAIN!
WAIT! I CAN EXPLAIN!

I... NOW, PLEASE!

IT WAS JUST A LITTLE SWIM! I...

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH, YES.

I'M JUST A LITTLE
OVERWHELMED, THAT'S ALL.

I MEAN, SHOULDN'T WE DISCUSS
OUR TRUCE AGREEMENT?

AFTER ALL, THAT'S
WHY YOU'RE HERE.

I WOULD RATHER DISCUSS US.

SAVOR THIS, CLEOPATRA.

THESE ARE THE INGREDIENTS
OF DREAMS AND MEMORIES.

WELL, I GUESS IT'S
FOR PATRIOTISM,

FOR SURVIVAL,

FOR LOVE.

(PHONE RINGING)

HELLO?

HELLO, FRED.

OH... IT'S YOU. LISTEN, UM...

WE REALLY DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT, AND...

MAYBE YOUR LAURA CAN GET
YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

DON'T LISTEN TO THEM,
FRED! DON'T LISTEN!

LAURA? LAURA, WHERE ARE YOU?

GET THE PICTURE, BABY? NOW,
I'M ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE.

BE AT BUNGALOW
THREE AT 4:00 P.M.

AND YOU'D BETTER DO AS I SAY,

OTHERWISE YOUR GIRLFRIEND
WILL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.

BYE.

NO, WAIT A MINUTE! STEPHANIE!

(HORSE NEIGHING)

SOLDIER: FORWARD! FORWARD
FOR PHARAOH PTOLEMY!

DEATH TO THE ROMANS!

(CHUCKLES)

YOU HAVE SUCH STRONG
HANDS. YET SO GENTLE.

IT'S AN IRRESISTIBLE
COMBINATION.

I HAVE A PLAN.

YOU AND I WILL GO AWAY.

(SIGHING) OH, I'D LOVE
TO. BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

THERE'S A WAR ON.

OH, NO. THERE'S NO WAR ON.

WE HAVE A TRUCE.

ANTHONY...

I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

MMM?

I'M NOT CLEOPATRA.

(SIGHING) I'M HERE BY PTOLEMY'S
DESIGN TO KEEP YOU OCCUPIED

WHILE HE POSITIONS THE
EGYPTIAN ARMIES FOR BATTLE.

IF YOU ARE NOT THE REAL
CLEOPATRA, WHERE IS SHE?

SHE'S IMPRISONED SOMEWHERE
UNDERNEATH THE PALACE.

THIS TRUCE, WAS THAT
YOUR IDEA OR HERS?

IT WAS HERS.

SHE NEEDED YOUR HELP
AGAINST HER BROTHER.

I SEE.

ONLY POLITICS.

AND WHAT ABOUT ALL THIS
BETWEEN US? THIS, UH...

THESE FEELINGS WE SHARED?

THEY ALL LIES, TOO?

OH, NO. THAT WAS REAL.

(SIGHING)

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO BELIEVE ME, BUT...

I MEANT EVERY WORD THAT I SAID.

BUT CAN'T YOU DO
SOMETHING, MR. ROARKE?

IT'S A BIG ISLAND, MR. WEBSTER.

IT WOULD TAKE DAYS TO
SEARCH EVEN PART OF IT.

WE WILL TRY, OF COURSE.

WE CAN PUT ROADBLOCKS,
ALERT THE NATIVES, UH...

IT'S USELESS THEN, ISN'T IT?

IT WILL TAKE WEEKS.

YOU STILL HAVE YOUR
POWER, MR. WEBSTER.

WHAT GOOD IS IT?

YOUR POWER IS AS GOOD
AS YOU WISH IT TO BE.

YOU MEAN IT'S UP
TO ME TO SAVE HER?

YOU ARE THE MOVER, MR. WEBSTER.

YES, I SEE.

HALT!

STAND ASIDE! I MUST
SEE MARC ANTHONY!

ANTHONY! ANTHONY!

YES?

ANTHONY, THE EGYPTIANS
ARE GROUPING FOR AN ATTACK.

OUR ENTIRE POSITION
IS THREATENED.

WAIT FOR ME OUTSIDE.

SO, YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH.

I'VE ONLY TWO LEGIONS WITH ME.

IF PTOLEMY LAUNCHES AN
ATTACK, HE MAY DESTROY US.

HELP ME WITH THIS, WILL YOU?

UNLESS CLEOPATRA GIVES AN ORDER
FOR THE EGYPTIAN ARMIES TO WITHDRAW.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE CO-RULERS.

IF AN ATTACK CAN BE CARRIED
OUT IN CLEOPATRA'S NAME,

CERTAINLY AN ORDER TO
WITHDRAW CAN CARRY EQUAL WEIGHT.

YOU MUST GET TO HER RIGHT
AWAY, EXPLAIN THE SITUATION,

THEN WE MUST SEE THAT SHE
GETS TO THE BATTLEFIELD IN TIME.

BUT SHE'S IMPRISONED!
HOW CAN I RELEASE HER?

AS ACTING QUEEN,
YOU CAN ORDER IT.

LOOK, EVERYBODY IN THIS COURT
KNOWS THAT I'M AN IMPOSTER.

I'LL ONLY GET MY HEAD
CUT OFF FOR TRYING.

NO GREATER HONOR OR DEED
COULD BEFALL ANY REAL QUEEN.

MUCH DEPENDS UPON YOU, MY LOVE.

IT'S WAR AGAINST PTOLEMY!
WE'LL FIGHT LIKE ROMANS,

AND DIE LIKE ROMANS,
IF NEED BE! FORWARD!

MAN: COME ON, COME ON,
BACK, ROLL BACK, ROLL BACK DICE!

SHE DID. SHE DID. SHE DID IT.

SIX STRAIGHT PASSES!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

SHE CAN'T DO IT
AGAIN. THERE'S NO WAY.

I'M LETTING IT ALL
RIDE, GENTLEMEN.

WELL, YOU'RE COVERED, LADY.

YOU'RE COVERED.

ALL RIGHT, HIT IT. COME ON.

COME ON. COME ON.
COME ON. COME ON.

MAN: SNAKE EYES, AT LAST!

(LAUGHING)

LET ME SEE THOSE DAMN DICE.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

COME ON, LET ME LOOK AT 'EM.

AH, THEY'RE CLEAN! MAYBE SO.

BUT I NEVER SAW
DICE ACT LIKE THEY DO.

MAN: YEAH. IT'S LIKE THEY
GOT A MIND OF THEIR OWN.

COME ON, LADY, SHOOT.

I'M LETTING IT ALL
RIDE ONE MORE TIME.

HERE THEY COME! HERE
THEY COME! BOXCARS!

FOUR. HEY, THAT'S A BOY. NOW
WE'RE GETTING SOMEPLACE.

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

THERE'S A HALF A MILLION
OUT THERE, FREDDIE BOY.

DON'T GET CUTE, OTHERWISE I'LL
SLICE YOUR LAURA'S THROAT MYSELF.

ROARKE: WITH SUCH A POWER
GOES AN AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY.

OKAY, MISS LUCKY, SHOOT!

HERE THEY COME! SEVEN! BIG
SEVEN! BIG SEVEN! BIG SEVEN!

(PLAYERS SHOUTING)

FOUR THE HARD WAY, GENTLEMEN.

ROARKE: USE YOUR
POWER WELL, MR. WEBSTER.

MAN: THOSE DICE ARE CRAZY. I'VE
NEVER SEEN DICE ACT LIKE THAT BEFORE.

(EXCLAIMING DELIGHTEDLY)

YOU JUST BLEW THE
BIGGEST SCORE OF MY LIFE!

AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH
YOUR LITTLE LAURA PAY FOR IT! COME ON!

COME ON!

COME ON! GET MOVING!

LAURA! LAURA, I'M SO SORRY
I GOT YOU INTO ALL THIS!

FRED, YOU DIDN'T DO WHAT SHE
WANTED. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

SHUT UP, BOTH OF YOU!

YOU WANT ME TO TAKE
CARE OF HER? HIM, TOO?

NO. WAIT A MINUTE.

(PANTING)

LOOK, YOU LET HER GO,
SET UP ANOTHER GAME,

I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT.

NO!

YOU SHUT UP, LADY.

DON'T LET HER DO
THIS TO YOU, FRED.

TODAY YOU STOOD
UP AND PUSHED BACK.

YOU'RE IN CONTROL, NOT HER.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

SHE'S RIGHT.

I LOVE YOU.

OH, CUT OUT THE
HEARTS AND FLOWERS.

LOOK, MOVE THEM.

YOU! STAY WHERE YOU ARE!

(GRUNTING)

(GASPS)

(SCREAMING)

COME ON.

STEPHANIE: GET ME OUT OF
HERE! GET THIS THING OFF ME!

STEPHANIE: THE STATUES,
THEY'RE GONNA FALL! WATCH OUT!

STEPHANIE: GET ME OUT OF HERE!

YOU HAVE WON, MR. WEBSTER.

DON'T LET THE POWER CONTROL YOU.

(STEPHANIE GRUNTING)

STEPHANIE: GET ME OUT OF HERE!

DON'T USE IT TO DESTROY.

YES.

I DID IT. AND IT'S OVER.

NOW IT APPEARS, ONCE AGAIN, THE
MOVE IS UP TO YOU, MR. WEBSTER.

(SOLDIERS SHOUTING)

(HORSE NEIGHING)

WE'RE LOST, ANTHONY. IT WAS
WRONG TO PUT THE FATE OF ROME

IN THE HANDS OF AN
EGYPTIAN TROLLOP.

YOUR DUTY IS TO FIGHT

AND BUY TIME WITH LIVES, IF
NECESSARY, NOT QUESTION MY DECISIONS.

(EXPLOSION)

WHERE ARE YOU
GOING, MISS ATWELL?

MR. ROARKE! YOU'VE GOT TO HELP
ME! I'VE GOT TO FIND CLEOPATRA!

OH, I'M SORRY, I CAN'T.

I CAN'T INTERFERE IN THE COURSE
OF HISTORY OR CHANGE IT IN ANY WAY.

THEN MARC ANTHONY WILL DIE!

WHAT YOU WILL DO MUST
BE YOUR OWN DECISION.

THEN I HAVE NO
CHOICE. I MUST HELP HIM.

THEN, MISS ATWELL,

THIS CORRIDOR LEADS TO
WHERE CLEOPATRA IS BEING HELD.

THANK YOU.

(GRUNTING)

YOU HOLD FAST HERE
AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

I'M GOING BACK TO MAKE
CERTAIN CLEOPATRA GETS HERE.

HALT! WHO'S THERE?

OPEN THE DOOR. I CANNOT.

MY ORDER IS TO OPEN
TO NO ONE BUT PTOLEMY.

YOU'VE SEEN THAT PTOLEMY TRUSTS
ME. YOU KNOW THAT HE CHOSE ME

TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THE QUEEN.

NOW, OPEN THE DOOR,
OR YOUR HEAD WILL ROLL!

WHO'S THERE?

WHO ARE YOU?

WHY ARE YOU DRESSED
IN MY CLOTHES?

YOUR MAJESTY, THERE'S NO
TIME TO EXPLAIN. WE MUST ACT.

YOUR BROTHER HAS STARTED A WAR
WITH THE ROMANS THAT ONLY YOU CAN STOP.

NO DOUBT YOU HAVE
BEEN A PART OF IT.

BUT I HAD NO CHOICE.

IF YOU KNOW YOUR BROTHER
WELL, THEN YOU'LL KNOW THAT

I AM RISKING MY LIFE TO
COME HERE TO HELP YOU.

YOU? HOW CAN YOU HELP ME?

THERE'S A CHARIOT WAITING NEARBY
TO TAKE YOU TO THE BATTLEFIELD.

MARC ANTHONY WILL JOIN YOU IN COMMANDING
BOTH ARMIES TO STOP THE FIGHTING.

MARC ANTHONY?

MARC ANTHONY IS HERE?

YES.

OH, PLEASE, YOUR
MAJESTY, WE MUST GO!

FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR EMPIRE.

FOR THE GLORY OF EGYPT,
I WILL DARE ANY RISK.

BUT HOW WILL WE
GET PAST THE GUARD?

OH... I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING.

GUARD!

WAIT! HALT! YOU'LL
BOTH DIE FOR THIS!

WELL, MY DEAR SISTER, YOU
AND THE SLAVE CAN DIE TOGETHER.

KILL THEM BOTH!

PTOLEMY!

(GROANS)

(GRUNTING)

WELL, PTOLEMY, YOU WOULD HAVE
OTHERS FIGHT FOR YOUR KINGDOM.

FIGHT FOR IT YOURSELF.

COME. WE MUST GET
TO YOUR SOLDIERS.

MISS ATWELL...

YOUR FANTASY IS
OVER, MISS ATWELL.

IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO BACK.

GOODBYE, ANTHONY. YOU
MUST GO ON WITHOUT ME NOW.

WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN?

NO.

YOU ARE A TRUE QUEEN.

QUITE THE MEASURE
OF ANY I'VE EVER SEEN.

AS FOR ME, ALL I CAN SAY IS
THANK YOU, YOUR MAJESTY.

MR. ROARKE, DO YOU THINK
THEY'LL MAKE IT IN TIME?

OH, THEY WILL, MISS ATWELL.

YOU REMEMBER YOUR
HISTORY, DON'T YOU?

THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MR. ROARKE. TATTOO.

BYE-BYE. BYE.

ROARKE: GOODBYE.

WELL, MISS ATWELL, DID YOU HAVE
ENOUGH EXCITEMENT FOR ONE FANTASY?

(SIGHS)

IT'S AN EXPERIENCE THAT
WILL LAST ME FOR A LIFETIME.

MR. ROARKE, DID EVERYTHING
WORK OUT ALL RIGHT?

WELL, AS WE KNOW FROM HISTORY,
CLEOPATRA WAS RESTORED TO THE THRONE,

AND SHE AND MARC
ANTHONY WERE MARRIED.

I WISH I COULD SAY THAT THEY
LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

THERE AREN'T TOO MANY MARRIAGES
THAT YOU CAN SAY THAT ABOUT.

AH... NO, MY FRIENDS, BUT THEIR
SHORT MARRIAGE HAS BEEN REMEMBERED

FOR ALMOST 2,000 YEARS,

AND THERE AREN'T TOO MANY MARRIAGES
YOU CAN SAY THAT ABOUT EITHER.

THAT'S TRUE.

WELL, GOODBYE, MR. ROARKE.
IT WAS WONDERFUL.

I'M DELIGHTED.

ISN'T THAT... MARC ANTHONY?

HE IS A GUEST. HIS NAME
IS MR. ERIC WILLIAMS.

HE, TOO, HAD A FANTASY,
WHICH WAS TO BE MARC ANTHONY.

(LAUGHING)

OH, MR. ROARKE!

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
