- Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
[clears throat]
"Marriage contract.
King Little..."
[clears throat]
"Of Lilliput does this fifth day of November
"give the hand of his daughter, Princess Glory,
to Prince David, son of Bombo, king of Blefuscu."
Quite in order. Quite.
"King Bombo."
Well, we did it, you little rascal, you.
We did it.
- Yes, we certainly did, didn't we?
- Just a couple of old dad Cupids, I take?
[both laughing]
[trumpet fanfare]
- Your Majesty, the wedding things arrrrre here.
- There's a giant on the beach! There's a--
Let me go! Let me go!
There's giant on the beach! There's a--
- Mm-mmm. Exquisite taste.
Exquisite.
- Rrroses, frrreesias, rrrhododendrrrons,
rrranunculus, snapdrrragons, and daisies.
- [sniffing]
- Pretty posies, aren't they?
- Beautiful blooms. Beautiful.
- [clapping]
- Oh.
May I?
- Oh, please do.
- Magnificent.
[speech inaudible]
[whistling]
Oh, oh.
A masterpiece.
Vanilla.
Whoa!
- [singing] Faithful
Remember that whatever I do
I'm always faithful, my love
Faithful with all my soul
And thankful for you
Who came from heaven above
We'll dance tonight together
- My only little daughter.
I dread losing her.
- Oh, buck up there, old boy.
You're not losing a daughter.
You're gaining a son...
[tearfully] My son...David.
[blowing nose] honk!
- [singing] And you'll be for
All mine
- Hmm, lovely melody.
- Yes. We like it.
That is "Faithful," the song of Lilliput.
It will be played at the wedding tomorrow.
- Of course. Of course.
Oh, what's that? "Faithful"?
Oh, no, no.
"Forever," the song of Blefuscu, must be played at the wedding.
- But, Bombo, "Faithful" is always played
at our weddings.
It's tradition, sir,
and it's very pretty.
- Yes, yes, I know.
Pleasant little ditty,
but hardly appropriate for this great occasion,
but "Forever," there's a song for you.
Ha-ha!
- Ha-ha. "Faithful" will be played.
- Bah, faddle. Absolute faddle.
It must be "Forever."
- "Faithful."
- "Forever." - "Faithful."
- "Forever"!
- [meekly] "Faithful."
- It will be "Forever," or there will be no wedding!
- No wedding?
But the cake and the pretty flowers and--
oh, Bombo, you love "Faithful."
[singing] Da-da, da-dee-dum
Da-dee-da, doh, doh
Ah.
[singing] Da-doh--
- [stammering] I could kick you.
Why, this is an outrage!
This...is war!
[dramatic music]
- There's a giant on the beach!
- [stammering]
[smacking sounds]
This is war!
[somber orchestral music]
- War. [clicking tongue]
Woe is me. Woe is me.
- I found the mountain, Your Majesty.
I found it. It was a man mountain.
- War isn't nice.
- It was this big. No, it was this big.
- People are hurt in wars.
- He's as big--as big as-- as big as--
Wait, Your Majesty.
- Bombo can't frighten me. No, sir.
Speak up.
Don't stand there like a nincompoop.
- I'm trying to tell ya that there's a giant.
- When I get my dandruff up, look out.
But Glory.
[sighs]
Poor little Glory.
[somber orchestral music]
- Don't look now, gentlemen, but it's war.
- War?
Whoopee!
- [singing] Forever, forever
There won't be anyone but you
Remember I'm true
My sweet
Forever, forever
You'll share in everything I do
And keep smiling through
My sweet
I'll have just you
Here in my heart
And I'll trust you
Though we're apart
So forever
Forever
My guiding angel you will be
So always have faith
In me

- There's a giant on the beach!
There's a giant on the beach!
- For heaven's sake, Gabby, button your mouth.
Can't you see I have a war on my hands?
Be off with you.
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo.
- A war?
Do you suppose he could be a spy?
- War.
They bother me with--
Who's a spy? Who's a spy?
- The giant on the beach!
- Giant? Giant?
Why don't you tell me these things?
Do something. Don't stand there.
Go sic the dogs on him. Fetch him to me at once.

There isn't a moment to waste.
Every last man must do all that he can,

Oh, yes, yes, the giant.
Well, bring him in. Bring him in.

Your Majesty, I don't think he'd fit in here.

So it's not good enough for him, hmm?
Well, where is he?

Get back to your posts! Get back there and fight!
We of Blefuscu are not...

Gabby? Gabby?
See, Gabby? They've gone.

Come, now, don't let my size frighten you.

- [weakly] Uh-uh.
- Well, good. Then let me present myself.
My name is Gulliver, Your Majesty,
Lemuel Gulliver,
a shipwrecked sailor,
at your service.
- Well, welcome to Lilliput, Mr. Gulliver.
Mr. Gulliver, can you fight?
- Well, Your Majesty, I can lick anybody my size.
- Ah, splendid. Splendid.
[laughs]
I don't think Bombo will give us any further trouble
while you're around here.
No, sir.
He's on our side, Gabby.
He's on our side! There's nothing to fear!
The man-mountain is on our side!
[indistinct chatter]
all: [singing] All's well
What's a rainy day?
Never mind that cloud
Behind that cloud
You'll find a golden ray

[heroic orchestral music]
[thundering stomps]
[ominous orchestral music]
- You understand that not until that giant is removed
can our forces taste the sweet fruits of victory.
Now, then, it is up to you to carry this message
to my spies in Lilliput.
Be off, and may luck be with you.
- [cooing]
Toodle-oo.
- Get going!
[distant cheering]
[all cheering]

[cheers and applause]
- Ahoy, mate!
Ahoy--
Ahoy, mate. Ahoy, ahoy.
I see that you are a sailor boy.
I owned a boat, a beauty too,
50 times as big as your--
as big as your--
as big as your shoe.
- My, my.
- Aye, aye.
Lost her, though, in a glorious gale,
but I came home on the back of a whale.
- But tell me how you caught the whale.
- Simply grabbed ahold of his tail.
[water sloshing]
- My, my.
- [strained] Aye, aye.
I climbed a mountain peak so high,
I bumped my head against the sky.
[water sloshing]
And there I was-- where was I?
- On the island of alibi.
- Aye, aye.
- My, my.
- Aye, aye.
But now my life is very dull.
They ought to make me an admiral.
Now, that's the job that I'd enjoy.
I must be going. Ahoy, ahoy.
- My, my, my.
[ominous orchestral music]
- [snoring]
- You put that ball in there.
And then it goes down and around.
Pull that thing...

Forever? "Forever"?
That's the song of Blefuscu.
A spy. Guards! A spy! A spy!
Guards, a spy!
A spy. Guards!
[swords clanking]
[wind rushing]
Where is he? Where did he go?
Concealing a spy, and in a time of war too.
That makes it worse.
Carry on the search, men.
Mind you, your father will hear of this.
- [whistling]
- [clears throat]
King Bombo, say the word and the giant is a dead duck.
- Is a dead duck.
- P.S., what do we do with the body?
[all laughing]
- Two hearts and a wedding broken by a melody?
Incredible.
Wait a minute.
I have an idea
that might turn this malice to a melody.
Sing "Faithful" and "Forever" together as one song.
- [panting]
- "The giant will be a dead duck."
Ha! Now we are getting at somewhere!
Dear spies, destroy, crush, obliterate, annihilate!
Kill him.
I will attack at dawn.
Affectionately yours, Bombo.
- What ya got there?
- "Attack at dawn. Attack."
Bombo's attack--
[stammering] Guards! Guards! Guards!
Bombo's attacking! Bombo's attacking!
It's war! Bombo's attacking!

Put me down. Heh.
Well, where you been, you lazy, lonely, and overgrown lummox?
Now, get down there to that beach and wipe out that Bombo,
that bunch of Blefuscuians,
and tear 'em to pieces,
and don't leave a man alive to tell the tale.
Forward march! Get going! - Aye, aye, sir.
My, my.
- [panting]
Hey, wait for me.
Gulliver, wait for me!
Wait for me, Gulliver!

We can settle this peacefully.
[all yelling at once]
Listen--
[water splashing]
Hold your fire.
Hear what I have to say.
Bombo, order your men to lay down their arms.
Must I make you listen?
[triumphant orchestral and choral music]
- David, look, Gulliver's thunder machine.
[suspenseful orchestral music]
- Wait here, Glory.
- David.
- The powder.
The powder.
- Pull.
Come on, pull! Pull!
[gunshot]
[crashing sounds]
- David.
- Poor, poor, foolish little people.
Look what you've done.
Now, go ahead, break your nutshell heads over your songs,
but did you have to break Glory's heart, King Little,
because you were thoughtless and selfish?
And you, Bombo, oh, mighty warrior,
what have you won?
You were too stubborn to think, too busy quarrelling
to lend ear to the harmony that might have been yours.
But now, in your sorrow and despair,
perhaps you'll listen to your songs
as they might be sung.
- [singing] Faithful - [singing] Forever
- Whatever I do
- Remember I'm true
- [singing] Remember that
- Faithful
all: [singing] Forever
And thankful for you
I'll keep smiling through

all: We may be apart
Now and then
But I'll hold you in my heart
Till you're in my arms again
Faithful forever
I promise to be
