Kilimanjaro is a snow covered mountain, 19,710 ft high
and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa.
Close to the western summit,
there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard.
No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.
Look at
him.
I wonder, is it sight or is it scent that brings them?
They've been about forever so long. They don't mean a thing.
The marvelous thing is that it's
painless now.
Is it really? Yes,
that's how, you know, when it starts.
I, a
filthy bird,
but they know their business.
I used to watch the way they sail very carefully at first
if he ever wanted to use one of them in his story.
That's funny. Now
I've gotten so nervous, not being able to do anything.
I think we might make it as easy as possible until the plane comes
or until the blame doesn't come.
Mr Johnson hasn't been a white hunter for a quarter of a century.
Not to know his way around.
If he can't get a plane, he'll be back with another truck.
Uh, one way or another.
Not very important.
I feel so helpless. I wish there was something I could do.
You can take the leg off.
Oh, you can shoot me.
You're a good shot.
I taught you to shoot tonight.
Let's not be melodramatic. Harry.
You're not going to die. No, I'm dying. Now.
Ask those things.
They're around every camp. You never notice them.
I don't see why this had to happen to your leg in the first place.
What have we done? Neither one of us to have had this happen to us.
If I suppose that what I did,
I just forget to put iodine
on it when I first scratched it.
We were after the impala
in case you've forgotten.
And with a camera attached,
I,
I
let's go.
That isn't what I meant
and it isn't how you got your lake. No, not at all.
It was at the lake last week.
It was a lovely peaceful day and those enormous hippos were having their own party.
We could have passed them by without incident.
But, oh no, you had to get so awfully playful.
Glenda.
Go
to Waka.
Look at them. There must be hundreds of them.
Hey, look at that.
At that big one over there,
sir.
Hurry.
I wouldn't chance it any closer.
A
car,
right?
Not in the least
34.
You're asking for trouble.
You,
oh,
and you insisted on carrying the boy in your arms all the way back to camp
and it was from all his blood and dirt that you got. That infection.
That could be the point of view from yours. It would be contact with the lower classes
being a writer. I prefer to think that it was a prick of fate
like a mere prick of a thought
that laid the great man low
and a lot of matters now. Harry, please.
No, no,
whiskey soda.
It,
it's not good for you.
It's bad for me. Cole Porter wrote the words and music.
Just
knowledge that you're going mad for me.
But that's poetry.
No, I'm full of poetry now.
Rot and poetry.
Rotten poetry.
It said in the first aid book to avoid all alcohol. It's not good for you.
That's what I meant by giving up.
You must do everything you can.
How do you do it?
I'm too tired.
I'll take this
only to keep it away from you.
You know, that's a pretty good room for life.
Take everything you can. If only to keep it from somebody else, wish I'd followed it.
I'm sure molo understands more English than you think he does.
Molo
in
Tijuana. Go away our stuff here. Ears.
So you won't hear the civilized people fighting.
Can
we
talk
Harry
if you think you have to die?
Is it absolutely necessary for you to kill off everything you leave behind?
You think this is any fun for me?
I don't even know why I do it.
Trying to
kill to keep yourself alive. I imagine you won't die.
It's not dying, not in itself that matters
as dying of failure.
Leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
How does a man miss the?
Did I ever tell you about my beginning
when I was young
with my first love?
No, you didn't.
And I'm not sure I want to hear it.
Tell you all about it over this drink.
You tell me without, are there plenty of things? You're lucky. I haven't told you
this little Diddy
had everything,
drama,
tragedy,
love and poetry simply
got
it.
I
was saying
words,
I throw me
in. So
as if I was some triumph,
you can fly a kite.
I love you. Connie. Connie.
Uncle Bill doesn't mean. Oh, yes he does. You know he does
the old moss bag, the nasty dirty stub of old moss bag.
Well, he only said we ought to wait.
Wait, I like that coming from you.
Why
do you say you didn't?
Not once all summer when you wanted to hug and kiss me and get fresh
and all those things about where you take me and what we do. Not once.
Did you yell to me to wait?
I love you. You don't even know what love is.
Oh,
go
buy a kite.
Come in. Harry. She'll recover.
Connie,
I'll shove off for you.
You shoved off already.
You still intend to become a writer.
Yes.
Well,
there are different kinds of writers just
as there are different kinds of everything
to become another hack
reason.
Pedal soap to housewives,
nothing wrong with peddling soap.
Make a fortune.
But I'll tell you the only right approach to real writing.
It's like a hunt.
It's a hunt in which a man pits his brains against the forces of ignorance and evil.
It's a life long, lonely safari.
And the pray he seeks is the truth worth telling.
Face, worth living by
something worth spilling his guts about.
But he's tracked down by himself.
I don't know if you'll be one to have the fortitude to stick it,
to follow the spur no matter where it leads
what pain and suffering
from Helen high water.
If you are, I've
got to help you.
God, pity
and good luck.
But I beg you not to ruin yourself before
you start by loading your pack with excess baggage.
Well, that's my business, isn't it?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
You know, you're young,
you'll need to travel and learn
education.
I'd like to help.
I think I made clear the conditions
your birthday next week.
Yes.
From now on you might regard that Springfield as your own.
Should we have a try for deer tomorrow?
Good weather for it.
You know, I've lived all right.
Where is it? Got
a camp in Africa
for you.
A rich, beautiful wife
before you. How many others
that's traveling alone?
A pig's eye?
Well, have it your way, Harry,
I'm gonna shoot some game. The lot is almost empty. I'll change into my boots and call
Mo Helen.
You shouldn't pay any attention to me. Really? Darling?
I love you. You know
why I've never loved anyone the way I loved you.
I won't take any more, darling.
But before you go,
come on.
Mhm.
You didn't need a kiss.
I know me.
This Harry. Why do you have to turn into a devil?
Because if I can't die happy, I can try to die delirious.
How can I help you if you won't help yourself by going to sleep?
No, thank you.
There'll be plenty of that soon enough.
The time I've got left,
I've got plenty to think about. Well, I'll leave you to your thoughts
only this time. Try to get some of them straight. Let's go do your killing.
That's what we're good at both of us. Abdullah Abdullah, get out the Springfield
to Springfield and that's solid and the solids
you,
he
can have
a in
English. That's quite a question.
Um
You know
the other sources?
Na,
hi, Captain
Harry. How's the book?
How's anybody's book?
It isn't finished. How did you do? Quit your job to do it?
Look, do you mind if I cut
up forage for yourself? Challenge.
Yeah.
Oh Harry, you don't stay.
It's a case of avoiding a broken nose. Am you
mine or confidence?
Because a laugh like hers would just have to lead it to a lousy fight.
That's Why
please?
Thanks.
I'm Cynthia. Cynthia Green.
See,
that's nice.
When did you come in? Two minutes ago?
I'll be happy.
The latest thing from home.
I'm Harry Street, Chicago Tribune. And you're right.
Ex
Chicago
Tribune.
And I'm trying to write. I
telling it the other way. Do you mind?
Well, everybody's trying something over here,
or at least trying to try.
What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to paint?
No,
I'm not trying to paint.
Are you trying to sculpt? No, I'm not trying to sculpt.
Well, then you must be trying to write too.
No,
I'm only trying to be happy.
Everybody's trying something.
How about? I'm the only person in the whole darn place who's only trying to be happy.
You'd better take this from me. I sometimes drink too much.
Anything's fair in the pursuit of happiness.
Oh, I'm not completely eye to eye.
I pose sometimes.
And what my maiden aunt calls, they all together
sometimes.
We all have to make our way with whatever we were given.
Oh, hasn't that African got any piety at all?
Remembering my manners.
Are you
Compton's lady?
No,
I'm not particularly accountants lady. I'm not counting lady at all.
I'm my own lady.
Well, how would you like it if you and I were just
hire you right out of here?
I expect. I'd like it very much.
And my father was a soldier and
he had the bad luck to get himself killed. In the Argo.
So
after the war I came over to him,
take him home to rest.
But once I saw France, I decided that this is as good a place to rest as anything
for him and for myself. So I stayed on.
No mother.
No, not for years.
I
see.
I don't know.
Where should we go and
rest right now.
Would you like to go and rest at another bar?
Have another drink?
No, I'm afraid I've gone and had too many again.
You know, in Paris,
nobody ever thinks of suggesting just going home
the best.
May I have a cigarette?
Can you
conceivably picture yourself as Harry's Lady?
Will you be kind to me?
I think I'm a little afraid of you.
Now, there are so many things that I have not written
and that I'll live her right now.
I've written only that first time in Paris,
the Paris that I loved.
The glass country sky
where the flower sellers dyed their flowers in the street
and the diam
purple over the paving stones where the autobus started
and the Children played in the streets in the spring sunshine
and the wooden coal man's place.
He's old wine. Too
bad wine.
And the golden horses head outside the boucher
Chevalle
where the carcasses hung yellow gold and red in the window.
And the green painted co-operative where we bought our wine,
good wine and cheap.
Our apartment was a room and a half.
And there. I did my work, Cynthia took up housekeeping
and together we did all of the things which go to make up living.
Harry.
What will
carry,
darling?
And breakfast is ready.
Hello.
I don't know.
We knew our neighbors in that quarter,
we were all poor
and in that poverty and in that quarter
I finished that first book,
a good book.
The start of all I thought I was to do
and I called it the last generation
not knowing at the time how much it was about my Cynthia
Harry.
Harry, darling.
Oh
Harry, darling. It's been accepted. Your very first book is gonna be published.
I know
we could get there. How
much is the
advance
the check? 00,
it
very much. But it isn't so little either.
You're right. It isn't so very much,
do
we?
Oh, darling. Now we can get that lovely apartment on the scene or we can go to Africa.
Oh,
and there never was another time for me
like that first time in Africa.
What you mean?
Yeah.
Three of them,
a bull and two cows.
Got
it
and do
my
bock
and sue
his son.
He says he's a fine bull. I know what he says. When do we get going?
We get downwind and work up on him.
Don't you think it's time that MS side had the first shot? Why?
Oh, no, no, I don't want it. How correct you are, Mr Johnson.
I definitely don't want, come on, you'll do it marvelously Bundy
now,
MSA. Come on. It's all yours.
I
take
it easy.
Just imagine. He's a tin can in the camp. He's not a tin can. Harry. I don't want to
blow at this distance. Careful. Don't spook him
now.
Just set them squarely in your sights.
Freeze yourself
and squeeze.
Dearest Terry. Please shut up.
Come on. Hurry up,
will you? So
he missed, I told you I didn't want to do it. No harm done everybody. Mrs Me,
I never claimed I was a hunter. You're the hunter.
Yes. And you
a great white hunter.
Sure. Sure. Come on, Annie Oakley. Have yourself a drink.
Don't let the master ride you. Shall we get going?
He took cover there. What do you mean get going? Where will he break out?
Do you think I won't go? And I don't want you to? I'm frightened.
Well, you probably scared him half to death. There won't be anything to it.
All right, then if you're going. So am I? Oh, no, you're not. Is she Mr Johnson?
You married her?
You're gonna stay here with Simba. I was only having fun. Harry,
don't you want to kiss me?
Kiss you goodbye.
Well, aren't you extravagant?
You stay here and be brave.
Simba.
Kado,
Kado, MENSA,
Kado.
Harry.
Now go back,
go back
g
look lively, look lively
about
him,
sir.
It, it
please
a funny moment when an animal comes out of the bush at you.
A million things seem to happen at once.
Is it always like that?
It's very simple.
Either you run
or you get busy.
It's not at all simple.
You can write a lot about it and you can,
you could get it just right,
different feelings at the different times
today. It was like, uh,
an explosion
of purest joy.
It was like a dam bursting.
Why is it? Everyone who comes to Africa has to write a book about it.
One silly beggar even dedicated it to me
never came back or I have shot him in the tent.
Can't you two? Let it alone even at night. What are we talking about your rhino?
He wasn't mine. It was all yours. All we did was polish him off for you.
Anybody want another look at that horn.
A pretty good heart
could
be.
Oh,
what's the matter with me? Mr Johnson?
Everybody isn't required to like Africa. You know,
I try to put up a show because I know he loves it. So,
but all of it, the hunting, the killing, it terrifies me.
See here,
this thing that he was talking about the
excitement, call it courage
the way he feels. It is a man's feeling
natural in a man
grows in a man and makes him a man.
Not particularly to his credit if he has it,
but something lacking. If he hasn't,
a woman shows her courage in other ways,
many ways.
I've got another fear now. Worse.
I'm going to have a baby.
What?
We came to Africa for trophies. Harry's got his and I've got mine.
Well, it's natural enough, isn't it?
Shall I tell him? What will he think?
Mr Johnson when I first met Harry.
How's your drink?
No, thanks.
Well, that's
all my life. I'd just been drifting.
Nobody. No place.
I guess you'd say I had no personal security.
But when I first got to know Harry,
you could have seen him in Paris. Have you ever been to Paris? Mr Johnson?
No
unnatural maybe. But I never had the desire.
Makes no difference. You've seen him here?
Well, there was I weak and needing
and there was he strong and confident
and every bit of me said this is all of it.
And when we first went to live at his place,
I was happy just to sit and watch him as much as I could.
Content to just sit still and hold on to my feeling of safety.
But Harry was never still, even when he worked
no sooner, he finished his first book than he said we were going to Africa.
I didn't want to stir. But I felt that if I told him so I'd lose something
and now he's,
he's already talking about other places.
If I tell him about this
anchor, this child, is
there a load of responsibility?
It isn't things I want,
believe me. Nothing like it. But only him is a rock to hold on to.
So,
shall I tell him now and
risk beginning to lose in more?
I'll put it off and see if something happens.
Isn't it enough? I have to guide you greenhorns on safari.
Am I hired to be an old nurse too?
Be Mr Johnson. My friend.
Really, please.
Well, see here, I'm just a hunter.
I can only say it the way I know how,
but it's when you run away you're most liable to stumble.
Well, they may have better horns and museums
but 33 inches is nothing to be ashamed of.
Good night.
Right
now. What's the matter with him?
He's going to bed? It's too early. I feel too good.
Oh, I wonder if there'll ever be another time? As good as this.
Harry. Listen. Just listen.
Mm. Mm.
Ok.
Bedtime lullaby, eh?
There's an awful lot of everything there is on this
hunger,
love, hate,
right?
You
done?
There's a wonderful buck in it.
Maybe I'll write it someday.
Darling.
Don't spoil it,
don't tuck it all away.
Now, as
soon as you reach Paris, see your own position.
Sure. He'll confirm what I have told you.
I'll have to be quiet.
No running about. No excitement.
Probably means you're spending much of the time in bed.
Claire.
I understand
some women are like that.
If you want the child badly enough, it won't seem like such sacrifice. Now, will it
si a
talk with your husband.
Oh no, I'll tell him.
Thank you, doctor.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Oh,
I'll take that,
that Sunday mom's out.
Oh, you just put right there first. Yes, darling.
I
fuck you
on the table saying,
look, we just arrived a letter from the publisher and the check
isn't very much but it's a check.
So everything's gonna work out. All right.
What? Well, darling,
all of it
say what old
Sorbonne say?
Nothing frightful. Didn't pick up a fever. Not.
Well, what did I tell you all you need is a change of climate.
We'll go directly to Madrid. We'll have the bull fights, the Gresa
del Prado. Then up to Pamplona in time for the fiesta.
A
luckiest timing in the world. Darling.
Couldn't we just go home
home?
Where is that?
I'll bring him back to Paris.
Ok?
Why?
Just to go home?
Look, darling.
We can get a nice apartment with a check with a room for you to work in.
You don't have to go to Spain, do you?
No, darling. I don't have to go to Spain
or anyplace else
you just want to.
It looks Cynthia.
I have to sound like a lousy stuffed
cat of mission.
I'm trying to become a writer.
It's a writer's business to buzz around,
find out about things for himself,
sit on his can in a comfortable chair and
reach for a bookcase for something to crib from
and off to Spain.
How do I know. I mean,
you'll never want this other normal thing.
I'm trying to explain what is my normal thing with maybe Children, Children,
darling.
I want a child more than anything in the world.
Something of my very own to hold on to.
Well, sure,
I love kids. But later
you've got lots of time.
Look sin.
The world is a market
in which
you buy what you want,
not just with money, but with your time
with a lot of things, it's an exchange. You give something and you get something.
I'm giving up a piece of my life.
Forget something that I need for my work. Later on we can afford what we can afford.
It's as simple as that.
I see.
Go
fix you a drink.
Got it.
It's a little bit early, isn't
it? It seems to me to be just about the right time.
You object.
No,
looks in
if you have this yen to go to Paris
for,
you can go there
without you.
I'm not saying that I want it.
I'm just
saying that you can go there
or it's,
it's a matter of life and death.
Ok. I'll go with you.
Yeah. Yeah,
I'll go change the tickets.
Ok,
Harry
get a doctor. Call an ambulance,
Mr Street. Yes,
I'm Dr
Simmons. How do you do? How is she? I'm sorry to have to tell you she lost the child
to what
you didn't know Mr Street.
Exactly what happened.
They told me at the hotel, at that
been an accident.
There was a nasty fall but she'll be quite all right after a few days' rest.
Do you actually mean you didn't know about the child,
don't you? People talk to each other?
You did it deliberately.
It was an accident. It is because of what I said
it was an accident. I stumbled.
You didn't have any right to do it.
It was my child too. You know.
Don't darling.
Shoot.
Ok,
stupid little I
end up,
we can go to the bull
fight.
Oh, aye.
Well, this one I got seats the way up here. Better.
Anything you say, darling,
up here you can see the whole thing is a spectacle.
It's quite a sight.
Hold on.
You know, darling. I think that dancer likes me if the dancer likes you.
I like you too. Darling.
Yes. But his liking is new
and yours is old, an old, old story that's ending.
What did the telegram say? Harry?
No, darling. You don't want to be childish.
You read it offered me an assignment to cover the
fracas in Damascus between the Syrians and the French.
Yes. That's what it said.
That isn't what it meant.
It meant that I'm beginning a lifetime without you. Well, that's real nonsense.
Then why didn't you ask me to go with you?
Darling. There's a war going on,
there's a war going on here too, right here at this table.
There's a dandy little war going on,
darling. You shouldn't drink too much. No. No,
I shouldn't do a lot of things too much.
I shouldn't love you too much. I'm awfully bad for you.
Always so hopelessly in love and we can't make it work much nonsense.
I shouldn't have wanted to be happy too much.
I expected it to come like a gift
when I shouldn't follow you around.
I'm a drag on you and I hate every bit of it.
You shouldn't even want to have your child. It
wasn't fair to you.
To Cynthia.
You've got to forget that you're driving yourself crazy.
I ought to forget.
I'll just go back to Paris alone as you say and
not drive myself crazy at all while I wait for you.
Wait and wait.
Don't you even know you're lying? I'm not lying.
No,
the owner's gonna lie yet.
There won't be a lie until you go away and discover you're not coming back but are
going on and on and see the whole world even if you lose it for us.
You know, I think this dancer likes me very much. All right, the dancer likes
you.
You ought to make me very happy.
Makes me feel dreadful.
Did you invite him over to the table?
Do you think his manners would be as nice as yours?
I
think you'd ask me first if I'm Harry's lady.
But women convict at times to start a row.
Oh, that's not rot, darling. It's very sad.
You with your ambition. Me, with my guilt.
A
lot of things are sad.
Why do they put the pads on the horses and the bull fights? I've told you that.
Tell me again,
it isn't. So the horses won't feel the hurt is it?
It's only for the Spectators.
So they won't see the horses inside. Yes, it is.
For the protection of the Spectators.
I knew you wouldn't like the horses,
but I desperately like the horses.
I know just how the horses feel with their
nice pads to protect them from the Spectators.
You ought to put some pads on me to protect you. Poor do
Cynthia. Will you kindly kindly kindly stop?
Yes,
I shouldn't talk too much. That's another of the things I do too much.
Excuse me for a moment.
Pa
alright dear, I'll be back in a jiffy.
Would you send this right away? Please immediately send you
to
the lady left
Seor
where to go.
I don't know in as much as she left for the dancer.
She, what she said to tell you if you inquire,
there was no use of looking for her.
She said she is not coming back.
T
I pop
on
the
Y cio
while
we wait.
Oh,
as the men
mem,
mem
the ka
yama,
she went out to kill something.
She's very good at killing. I taught her
in
Diana.
I hope
when the party is over, you're likely to get left with your hostess.
Sabaku.
Sasa.
Oh, yes, here she comes now.
Yeah, I suppose I'm as well off with her as any other neo
WWA.
She's a splendid woman, by all standards. Maybe if I close my eyes, she'll go away.
Make a good shot.
Hello.
Hello?
Rather a good shot
through the shoulder.
You shoot marvelously. You know,
how are you feeling
better?
I thought maybe you would, you was sleeping when I left. Shall I relieve molo now?
He wants to shave me and I want to talk.
Well, everyone must have someone to talk with. He's the perfect audience. He
doesn't understand a word. I tell him. Therefore, we don't quarrel.
Let's not quarrel anymore. No matter how nervous we get.
I
wouldn't even be afraid of me anymore.
I'm not afraid of you.
I never was,
will you call me if you need me? Sure.
Come back any time you feel like it?
No,
Dia
Neo
Mimi,
you know,
you Africans may have the right system of the women at that.
Buy one for a few cows,
whatever it is you happen to use for money
and if she isn't satisfactory, you get your money back.
We use our emotions
and it just cracks up.
We don't get anything back.
Ouch
endeavor. Your brother
Ngu
Sam.
Sure, sure.
Juana's whisk is very tough.
A lot of things are tough.
You know, son,
there was one woman
and what a woman
I wrote a book about her too.
Another woman, another book.
It wasn't about Spain or Africa or anything that I cared about
put into it. I poured the anger that I felt and some dirt and belly laugh humor
just right to tickle the smart ones on the revere
and I'd found something, son.
I'd found success.
You swim very well.
Naturally when I have an incentive,
swimming to you, darling,
do you do everything else as well?
I swam over
Don Harry.
What's the matter?
You afraid of? Startling the fish afraid of you?
Bridget Lys,
I swam way over to tell you that I've changed your plans.
You are not going away tonight.
No.
Well, swim around and tell me why you think I'm not
because you run around. What does it get? You only dizzy
if you have to write, I have a typewriter at home. I'll let you call your own.
You've got a few other things at home. I'd like to call my own.
I can't let you go. Dally.
I can't let go of you.
Count us that. No one like you
climb up here on this book. I can carry. I've hardly anything on. Get up here.
Please, lover.
Not out here.
I suppose it was the elusiveness of Liz, which was her main attraction.
She was something to hunt down and trapped and capture
the countess Elizabeth Frigid Liz,
the semi iceberg of the Semi Tropic.
It was fun, son.
Ok.
It was just lousy. It was fun.
It would be much more polite if you'd say it, darling.
Once I'm speechless,
please say that you don't like it.
But I do
immensely.
I admit that something has me puzzled.
Would you mind answering one question?
Not at all. What's the question? Well, why do you want her for this?
I bet you it must be nice to have a round for Harry.
Yes,
I don't think I introduced you. Beatrice. This is my fiance's nice, Uncle
Mr Swift.
Argenti
was
here, Beatrice.
There's a fine lot of divinity in that name,
Dante. You know.
Yes, darling. I know
Beatrice. Are you divine? Who Monsieur?
I just be,
tell me, Uncle Bill or
may I call you Uncle Bill?
Uh
Are you planning a long visit with Harry now that you are back from India?
I'm afraid not.
Are you?
I'm not visiting Harry. Harry is visiting me,
whichever must be wonderful for both of you.
We think so
as I look at it again, another question crosses my mind
as interesting as the last one.
When you and Harry get married,
how many Children will you have?
Why don't you go ask him?
Why me,
by the way, where is genius shining at the moment
and his study,
he's probably doing something constructive.
I
like it. Yeah,
I don't bother you.
Just continue.
Tell me,
have you named her yet?
You have a suggestion,
Ceres, the goddess of fertility, madam
O
la VD
Bar.
Mercy.
Excuse me.
Why don't you finish up for me while I'm gone?
Good. Come on in
now I can stop if you do. I'll go away again.
Just let me sit here tightly in the corner.
Fine view ought to be cost a pretty penny.
Did you see Liz?
Speaking of
a P
pinny.
No, just speaking of lives,
man. My boy,
it's the shortest c
and what do you mean by that one
lover? May I come in?
You are everywhere, aren't you? Darling?
It's the only attribute, aren't you ever the almighty angel?
Are you doing anything that's stinking. Important.
Confidential, callousy. Couldn't be less important or more stinky.
What silly I am writing an interview with myself on the subject of success. Yeah.
Yeah. Your latest has sold another 100,000. It says here,
well, it amazing
Hollywood ones that they say they put Garbo
in.
Well,
that should please you.
How did I get in the habit of becoming involved with women who always opened my mail?
You get such fascinating letter, darling,
cosmopolitan ones. Another series of short stories and Smart said too,
they pay the tops. It says,
well, why should a writer feel guilty?
Because people are willing to pay good money for the sweat off his brow and
they shouldn't. My boy,
no one ever paid for a drop of mine
except a few libraries and museums
which reminds me to tell you,
I've decided to settle down and take over that museum. That's wonderful
news. Does that mean we'll see you often, darling.
When you're in Paris,
my bones will be on display amongst the other antiquities every day except Thursday
on the Avenue. Prison was
edit the button. I'll walk out with you.
I'll find the door. I imagine you'll want in there. Why the devil happens?
You to grace to tell me the truth.
What true? Because you think my book sticks and everything I'm doing sticks.
I came to praise Caesar. Not to bet him
most men would envy you.
Make a handsome living.
Have the acquaintance of most of the interesting people in the world
all this. And Liz too.
You are young.
You have your health.
You look well,
fairly well
come to see me only boy.
Oh, Harry.
Have you done any hunting lately?
No. Why do you ask? Too bad?
A man should never lose his hand at hunting?
I had it all. And what did I have
my name in the papers? My face in the better magazines.
And where was Cynthia?
People asked for my autograph and pointed me out
and why didn't she come back to me
at last? I made a cry for help
getting her American address from
Emil.
And so my darling Cynthia,
I have never been able to kill the loneliness
but only made it worse.
Everyone I've been with.
It's only made me miss you more.
And what you did can never matter.
I cannot cure myself of loving you.
And one day outside the red,
I followed the woman whom I thought was you.
I follow any woman who looks like you in some way.
Afraid to see that. It's not. You
afraid to lose the feeling it gives me.
Yes.
Oh,
I beg your pardon? I
thought she was someone else.
Someone I know. I,
I'm really sorry. I, I didn't know you a woman with a family.
They're my brother's Children.
Now, why did I tell you that?
Aren't you Mr Harry Street? The writer.
But that's what I'm afraid.
I think I'm rather sorry. I'm not the right one.
Um
Anything interesting
routine.
Few interesting builds for you to foot.
I mean that what you're trying to hide,
darling.
You came just at the right moment. Now, let's see.
I don't think you've met my fiance, Mr Street
contested Von Stefen Grand. You pu
how they
do it?
I
let Charles pour you a drink.
My devoted fiance and I are just in the middle of a little summer.
Who
is this?
The Cynthia Green?
Florina Madrid.
She must be a girl named Cynthia Green.
Is she a fan of yours?
At the last I heard
from Madrid.
My dear devoted fiance had so many fans and I am one of them.
Oh, I just devoured your last book.
Well, I hope it didn't give you a belly.
Is this letter so important. Harry?
No,
that isn't important at all.
Good
and you shan't be troubled with it.
Excuse me,
Harry?
What are you doing?
What do you think I'm doing? I won't let you go. I won't let you make a fool of me. Ah,
you said it was not important. The whole thing is not important.
Harry, listen to me.
Love her, darling. Stop and listen to me.
Please. Harry. Stop and listen to me. Please. Harry. I'm listening.
I know that sometimes I must draw your nerves
and sometimes you're on my nerves too.
00,
I know that sometimes
sometimes I'm inadequate for you.
I know my fault.
But I love you, darling.
Truly. I do.
I love you as much as I can.
And if there's something deeply troubling you, yes,
there is something troubling me.
Then only tell me maybe the dawning of suspicion.
But
the fact that the airplane is faster than the horse does
not necessarily prove that the world is getting any better.
No, I mean about us,
there is nothing troubling me deeply ill.
Where are you going?
Are you going to Madrid? Perhaps I'll go to Madrid.
I'll send you a postcard.
Oh, Harry,
you look so silly,
such a fool trying to look like a knight questing for the holy grail.
And maybe you're right.
Maybe I'll just hand me a good look. See for the holy grail.
Oh
Mrs Harry.
The same to you
with tassels on them.
Hi C
same to you, Thomas
by Cynthia was not at the hotel
Freda in Madrid or anywhere else.
The lousy civil war had fixed Madrid
before I knew it. I was carrying a gun
and I wish I weren't.
Yeah.
You know, an American driver by the name of Cynthia Green.
Show
us back in Detroit.
You're an American man.
Yeah,
I wish I was back in Detroit where I was when I got sucked into this.
I just woke up. I got sucked into this.
Didn't leave any of that bourgeois.
No.
What are you doing? Here?
You die laughing as I told you,
go and find it.
Are they on serve
a
ski with?
This is
very mother of God.
Glad
to marry mother
of God.
Oh, please let Harry find me
and like create plating.
Now
please find room for my prayer.
I hope
so.
Oh,
you're hurt
you.
Thank you.
You're very
little.
Not like that a lot.
I'll
get
help.
Imagine.
Do you believe my letter? Every word
about child too?
It's about the time too.
That
up.
So
good.
Two
hours.
I was so wrong about the child.
I know that God would punish me.
You know,
and there's infinite mercy.
You should spit on me.
Stretch up.
Come
on.
Right.
They're coming,
darling.
Excuse me.
So many things.
Um
It's funny
when you touch me, I still turn kitty.
I could be dying if you touch me,
I
don't get it.
You won't die.
Who will take
for the
road?
I'm not
four.
Is
here
a
freezer? A
freezer.
Yeah,
no
problem
at
all.
This
trouble
commanded
state.
And is she teach?
Not just
Mr
Street
R
Mote
Monsieur
le
Uncle Bill.
I came as soon as you let it caught up with,
what is all
this
for
my lad
present, porter?
I will get you a good doctor.
Doctors.
It was a wise man who said that if all the medicines were dumped into the sea,
it would be a horrible day for the fish.
But don't worry about me,
I shall be in excellent hens before long.
What about yourself? Now?
You don't look happy. I'm all right.
What have you been doing with yourself all these years
you've traveled, followed my nose. Just wondered. What about you?
Where, where, tell me where?
Mm.
Nothing to brag about.
Oh, I've seen the seven wonders of the world.
That's what you mean. Or however many there are,
they're not very wonderful.
Then. You haven't really seen,
you haven't hunted
and
yes, well, why should I
exactly the way the world pays me a very good living to be.
I amuse the people with my little tail.
This I can do with my left hand which leaves my right hand free for other things.
I've destroyed my talent
by not using it
by betrayals of myself.
The things I believed in.
If I drink
by laziness,
by pride and by prejudice,
by hook and by Crook.
What is this? A catalog? Of old books.
Had
a,
once I hunted
in Spain
for the holy grail,
but they'd busted the Greyhound,
they busted her all to pieces,
the grail.
Why should I blame them? I killed her.
Hi.
I don't understand.
Well, Harry,
in your absence,
I've kept you with me as well as I could.
My latest. Did you hate it?
I love everything. You're right.
But you couldn't finish it.
Take out the envelope, it's for you
in it. You'll find the legacy. I'm leaving you
when I lay down my bones amongst the other relics here.
But I don't need anything.
Are you sure all the royalties are rolling in? That's one thing about success.
Even when it's a failure,
it snowballs for a while.
There's also one thing about a snowball. It has nowhere to go except downhill.
Oh, that's not money.
It isn't anything
material.
Oh, I thought and thought about what I might leave you.
Finally. I,
I wrote a little something,
a riddle.
Great.
I, I don't want you to read it until after I've gone
because you might ask me the answer
and I don't know the answer.
But if you can find it,
it will save you.
You know
a
bit.
Ok.
Oh,
what
some
what?
But
you find most of
it.
What's
wrong with
you?
Is it
Mary?
Oh,
y
and it
basically wonderful. It must
just the same,
the same
dirty,
it's the same wonderful place. Excuse me?
This new,
a
I leave
it.
Why do you let him change it out there? Who gave him the right to spoil it like that
here? We don't change. We have no business but no change. Oh, look, see it the same.
That's because it's preserved in a bottle.
You know, a Neil. It might be a pretty good idea for us to formally when you came here.
You were not bitter
formally.
I can,
you know, there was one night
when I came.
Yeah,
John,
you're right. Emil you
look behind you and what do you see? Only a black side?
We must think of the future.
I have been left
a legacy.
You
adore you too.
It is a riddle.
Kilimanjaro
is a snow covered mountain
19,710 ft high
and is said to be the highest mountain
in Africa, close to the western summit.
There is the dried and frozen carcass
of a leopard
in all that snow.
So they would have us believe
guilty.
Some lousy cat got cold feet.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Here comes the kicker.
No one has explained
what the leopard was seeking
at that altitude.
Is that all
when
it's an unsatisfactory story,
it ends badly. But what was the lay about doing
up there in the first place?
That's the riddle.
And if I can find the answer, I'm supposed to win the prize.
Come on, let's let's put our fine miners together.
Perhaps he took the wrong trail and followed the wrong scent
and so he got lost and died.
Yeah,
that's a very sensible solution. Emil.
Go in
and for me
please.
Are you?
May I
sin?
Thank you.
Am I mistaken?
Aren't you Mr Harry Street? The author whom I met in the place. Van Dome.
Yes. Uh Mr Harry Street
and I'm lost.
And
you.
Bye.
I have.
Oh, very
how beautiful you are.
Excuse me, my dear Cynthia.
It's a knife.
I'm a little bit worse for many years
and
tear.
You need rest. Mr Street. Yes, I need rest, Mr Street.
I need a lot of things, Mr Street.
I,
I
neat.
Yeah.
Would you like a drink?
What did you say? Well, I'm gonna have one. Why don't we have one together?
Ask molo you know, I don't speak the language.
Mote,
whiskey, soda.
About which one have you been thinking Harry?
What do you mean about which one
about Cynthia or about Liz?
That makes you think, you know so much.
Maybe I was thinking about you and me.
No,
never about you and me.
At least not with any honesty.
Well, that just shows you how wrong it can be.
I was thinking about the way we met him
on the bridge near Notre Dame.
When you mistook me for your Cynthia,
you've never been able to forgive me for not being her.
Have you?
You really want to go into that one?
What else did you think? About you and me, Harry,
that we had a Lulu at the beginning.
It's really a luna.
Yes, we had that. All right.
Well, neither of us were Children.
We both knew what we were getting.
Why did you suddenly want to come here?
You owe me the courtesy of being honest.
All right,
I'll be honest
because why I wanted to come here is the point of the whole buddy joke
because I had found the answer to a riddle.
That's why
about a leopard
who lost his way.
And I thought that if I had followed the wrong scent
and was going to perish,
then I'd better get back to the jungle from where I'd started.
It had been good here.
I had been right here
but I thought I could get back to it that way
back into training.
Work the fat off my soul
way. A fighter goes into the mountains to work the fat off his body.
We might have made it to
two weeks ago that
Thor
had needled me.
That foul smell crosses here every night,
every night for two weeks.
He's the one who makes all the noise at night.
I don't mind him too much. You know what? That bad breath just said to me
the hyena.
But it's getting very late for me.
Aren't you funny? A lousy timepiece?
Really? Darling. Aren't you
him,
Harry?
What is it?
It's nothing.
How do you feel?
All right.
That's a wobbly.
Can you eat something now.
No,
a
little broth will keep his strength up.
I don't need my strength up.
Tell
her you don't know.
Well, I've known everything
except just when it would happen.
Try, darling,
call.
I want a right.
I know.
Do you really?
I know almost all of it now,
except one very important thing which you must tell me,
Harry. Was it entirely because of her that it was the best time for you here.
Who
Cynthia whom twice you mistook me for?
Was it only because you were happiest here with her?
You thought all that? Why did you come along?
What do you think?
You were always a considerate woman?
You'd have bought me anything?
You'd like
anything new and exciting?
I don't know.
I more than came along if you'll remember,
I arranged with the publisher for your advance. I lied to you. I contrived it.
Why? Because it was the only chance for you
and because it might be a chance for me,
I thought that if I was here with you
and your work came well and you were happy here again
with me here.
Don't make me lose all my pride.
The first time I've ever really seen you.
You're not a failure, darling,
just because you've disappointed yourself with some of the things you've written.
That's not failure. As a man,
you've brought something to everyone just as you've brought something to me.
Quite a woman.
It's a pity I'm finding it out. Only now.
I love you.
I love you with all my heart.
We've got a whole lifetime ahead of us.
You had every cot in the deck stacked against her.
Will you have the time? There'll be plenty of time
you're going to live. You've got to live very
good time.
That's what you think.
That's what they all think.
That's why they sit on their tails.
Let's not kid ourselves.
The door can open suddenly into nothing.
And death has been standing there all the while.
The man hasn't done what he intended to do.
Jambo
Jambo, Mili
Mi Ma,
who is he
one of the boys of the local clinic of the Mayo brothers? I do believe a
witch doctor.
That's right.
Wu Ma Jamba
Yam
Mutuli Fur
Kiko.
He's the uncle of the boy that I tried to save from the hippo. Send him away.
We don't want him.
Mai
Alii
Kia
Majang,
Sana
Hu
Atahan,
Dawa,
Kalisa
Uganda,
Kishi
Kisa.
He's heard that I'm sick with the bad spirits. He wants to be in on the kill.
Get rid of him. Harry, he gives me the crease. Ask Dr Pasteur to sit down
Katie Katie. Please send him away.
Jumbo
Guano
Cubo, Jumbo mu
he's eating a root of some special sort to sharpen his wits.
Now he's gonna roll the bones.
No fooling that stinking cat skin bag.
He's got a couple of dozen bits of bones from the hind legs.
Of ant eaters, tortoises, baboons and whatnot
from the pattern that they will make.
When he throws them on the ground, he will be able to diagnose what ails me.
Go ahead. You're fated. Duck
parks. Cars.
Mm.
I,
oh,
a
man finally gets tired.
Hello.
Can
go
in the tent,
Joe.
I don't want to go in the tent in the tent.
Oh, it's a clear night. It's not gonna rain.
You will do just as I say,
what a life man can't live as he pleases, can't even die as he pleases.
Ok.
Got it.
And
through the fear
of
topics,
man. OK.
Opt
makes you feel funny.
There we go.
Went off to that war
in the order.
Oh my God.
And
well,
maybe Nua
Masa.
Dead soldier
or
ballet
skirts.
Oh
aut I boko.
Nauta
Bongo
Mei
Kisan.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
I'm,
I mean to write about it
to me
a
dawa
as
a
dawa me
up.
I've
seen
the world change.
Set it up. Just fancy
and the people,
people change.
It's my duty to run it.
I,
oh
God,
I've been in it, I've seen it,
I've been in it.
I've seen it.
I've watched it.
D
did I hurt you?
I don't want to hurt you.
And uh
I've been writing.
I know Harry for a million years.
Can you take dictation? No, I never learned.
Oh, that's all right.
Wouldn't be time anyway.
It seems that
I
could get it. All into
one
paragraph
if I could get it.
Just right.
Yeah.
Well,
hello Molo, you white man's burden you de
de. I've
only
got the first aid. What's he gonna do?
Sprinkle me with monkey duster, darling. Her hair from the tail of the leopard.
The poor.
Please try to listen.
You told me in certain parts of your leg. There isn't any feeling wood.
It says in the book it's kind of paralysis.
The blood vessels, one should use hot compresses to keep the circulation going.
Oh, you tell him to use the lion medicine.
It's very,
don't make fun even of him. He only wants to do his best
and I'm trying to do my best.
Oh,
I'm trying to do my best to darling.
If you'll only do that, Harry.
Hi.
Said wrong.
Ok.
Balls.
Oh,
put a sharp knife.
The area, slip, sharp point of knife.
Apply to address
I
perry.
Oh,
one time.
Ok.
Ok. Ok.
Stretcher bearers
meet
the love.
What are you going
to do,
darling? Go.
It's all right. It's all right
out,
out
a
lousy fever.
See,
Don,
are you conscious enough to listen to me?
You,
there's a very large swelling on your leg.
I'm going to open it.
Hm.
Do you
feels something strange?
Yes. Time
death is near us.
Do you think he could come so close to you? And I wouldn't know it.
I don't ever believe her.
What to tell you about
by the side? Of the skull
just now it came with
not to rush your border
but
win.
And the funniest thing
of the hi
there,
skip
lightly
along the edge of it.
God help us
go away.
It's all right now.
Talk
a whole day. Talk
a
whole
day.
The talk of
inside
me.
Let
talk of
me. Me,
I don't understand.
Go away.
What?
Get your
good time.
Hello?
Yeah.
Yeah,
darling.
It
here,
darling.
It's here,
it's here. The plane,
it's you,
darling. Look,
what do you see?
That's Mr Johnson.
What do you know?
No, I mean, look at the tree,
the tree.
Well, be
they've gone,
they have gone.
