Ashanti Page #4

---

Take them and get yourselves some prvisions!

We must hurry, David.

Watch out!

I promise you, my friend,

today you'll find a very good range.

Yes, but what can I do

when I go back to Germany?

Two years ago

I managed to sell three girls

to a higher price than I purchased them.

Excellent.

I hope I can do even better than that.

Do not worry, but it is very important

that you let me do the bidding. You understand?

Are these the only slaves today?

- For this week.

How much are they offered?

- Let's wait.

Sulleiman promised me an African girl.

- I haven't seen him.

Two thousand dollars!

- Is this an offer or a joke?

Gentlemen, let's be serious.

This is a fine boy. Look at his body.

Let the woman be brought.

Your Highness, please.

This has been my last trip before

I retire.

It is only fitting that the last

journey should bring me the greatest reward.

Very good.

And you say that no man has touched her?

- Not one.

On your honor.

What man would be rash enough to

stake his honor on a woman's virtue?

She seems to be drugged.

She's as lively as an unbroken coanut.

What price are you asking for her?

- Two hundred thousand dollars.

That's a high price, even for a virgin.

There is inflation your highness.

Even for virgins.

I can not ...

I can not stay awake.

She is very tired.

She speaks English?

- So, who does not speak English these days?

My husband is English.

- Her husband?

He's a doctor. We both are doctors.

Doctors? What the devil are your

trying to set me?

Did you ever see such a desirable

doctor in all of your life your Highness?

One who is capable of rendering not only infinite

pleasures but also of curing numerous illnesses.

Where did you study medicine?

Boston ... Boston, Masachusets.

Boston...Masachusets

You have indeed taken trouble on my behalf?

I work for ...

- You're work for what?

I work for ... United Nations.

Better and better.

So now our private negotiations are

subjected to the features of great powers?

What possessed you to bring such a woman?

I'm always revolted by your presents,

but I never thought of you as a fool before.

Understand me, Your Highness.

Look at her as though you have

never seen her before.

Does she look to you like anything

but a very beautiful virgin?

And does look like a doctor

who works for the UN?

No, she doesn't.

I was misled as you were.

And by the time I found out,

it was too late. 150 thousand.

You're getting older, Sulleiman,

and then incompetent.

You should have drugged her up properly,

so that I would not hear her speak.

I might have gone up to 300 thousand

dollars. She is very beautiful.

Her beauty is not affected by

my incompetence or my age.

Before she awakens, delever

her to my yacht.

We sail in the afternoon.

I am grateful to you for your

magnanimity O Prince.

All that remains is of course,

more a matter of .. the price.

Twenty thousand dollars.

I can not sell it for 20 thousand!

Then find another buyer

who will pay more for her.

With her qualifications, who knows,

maybe you can sell to the

World Health Organization.

It is being done all the time these days.

It is called kidnapping!

What you say is very amusing Prince, under

normal circumstances, I would laugh

but I sacrificed all of my

slaves, my truck, my camels....

my American rifle with telescopic sight ...

On this occasion Sulleiman, you have had bad luck.

- O Prince What is money to you...

This was supposed to be my last journey.

Money is nothing to me. But I still have

slight regard for principles.

Yes, let's say that on this occasion

you've had exceptionally bad luck.

If he has any money that's where he'll be.

Sulleiman must've sold her privately.

We'll try the Pearl Market now.

- Why there?

How much has Sulleiman offered you?

- I can not say.

I'll match his price ... I'll double it.

When Sulleiman bids, nod to me.

Let uss begin with an offer of 5000 Dollars.

They are yours.

We are looking Sulleiman.

What room is he in?

There's no one in that name here.

You must have the wrong place.

No, There's no mistake. He

told us to meet him here.

We have a most important ...

transaction to make.

Oh, yes, Sulleiman. It slipped

my mind for a moment.

Through that door,

second on the right.

Who is that?

A messenger from the Pearl Market Sir!

It is most urgent!

Pearl Market? So I paid them before I left!

Where is Ashanti?

- What Ashanti?

God damn you, where is her?

- If you are robbers, take my everything

Don't play games with us, Sulleimane!

I am Malik!

You want to kill me! I have spent Whole

my life with the expectation of death!

Death will never take me by surprise!

No, Malik, please!

Dead he's just another corpse. Alive

he could lead me to my wife.

Perhaps, I may be allowed to say a word?

If you allow me to live ...

I'm sorry it's so late. I'll lead

you to her, if she is still there.

After all, whatever I have to lose?

It was the last journey,

I'm at the point of my retirement ...

I have my grand children, They are

so sweet. I love them.

Love? You slave running bastard!

You'll never find her on your own!

Never!

Where's my wife?

Unless Malik swears not to kill

me in his honor...

Do you think I've waited for

so long that I let you live?

I can not give my word!

I will not give my word!

- Please, Malik!

Give your word, I beg you!

Save my wife!

Your life is already destroyed!

If you kill him, you destroy mine as well!

Please!

All right, Malik ... you win.

Kill him. Go ahead kill the bastard.

You have my word ...

And now ... where's my wife?

The Ashanti! She is on the yacht

"Odalisque" belonging to Prince Hassan.

Has it sailed?

- This afternoon, I think.

I hope you're not too late.

Too late?

She is very beautiful. If I were not

short of money, I would never have sold her.

You gave your word, Malik.

I didn't.

The "Odalisque"?

Your Highness ...

Good afternoon. Please do sit down.

Would you like some tea?

Milk or lemon?

So, you were at Boston? Well ...

- Are you completely mad?

Or are you just some kind of criminal?

Do you realise I have been kidnapped,

cast into slavery and treated like a beast?

- I know Boston although I was at Harward myslef.

Please do let us talk quietly.

Unless I am released immediately ...

- Of course you will be.

In a year, perhaps sooner.

You have been kidnapped and slaved,

as you say.

Deplorable, but it has happened

and we have to accept it.

I agree that it is easier

for me than for you, because,

you are precisely what I'm looking for.

Let me explain. Try to understand.

My father is very old.

He has a bad heart,but ... it is

still young, do you know what I mean?

As a dutiful son, I love him dearly.

There's nothing I would give him to

gladden his last few months of life.

As soon as I saw you ....

It is my dearest wish that he

dies blissfully in your arms.

As you Americans would say:

what a way to go.

You want me to be an old man's

whore for my freedom?
