• Don Diego de la Vega : [to the emmisary, who Zorro has put into the stocks]  Sing us a birthday song for Sergeant Garcia.

  Andres Felipe Basilio : [singing]  There should be laughter and mirth.

  Don Diego de la Vega : Oh, louder.

  Andres Felipe Basilio : [singing slightly louder]  On the day of your birth. This is the day of the year when all your friends are here.

  [people start to wake up and come into the plaza] 

  Andres Felipe Basilio : Felicidades y muchos años, it's the happiest day of the year.

  Don Diego de la Vega : Bravo, señor. But would you mind singing it again? And this time louder. I don't think everyone heard you.

  [cut off buttons from the emmisary's coat and vest] 

  Don Diego de la Vega : It's a pity your hands are occupied, Excellency, because you'll lose your trousers when the first lancer approaches.

  Andres Felipe Basilio : No! No! Stand back, all of you. I'll court-martial the first man who comes near.

  Don Diego de la Vega : Now, won't you sing the song again? This time for the soldiers.

  Andres Felipe Basilio : [singing]  There should be laughter and mirth on the day of your birth.

  [the crowd laughs] 

  Andres Felipe Basilio : This is the day of the year when all your friends are here. Felicidades y muchos años, it's the happiest day of the year.

  Don Diego de la Vega : Bravo. Bravo. Sergeant, your birthday present.
