Hatari! Page #5

- Hi, Stan.

- How are you? Good?

Hello, Stan.

- What happened?

- She was a wild one, a real rogue.

Nearly killed a native three nights ago.

You can see what she started last night.

The family got out in time.

I had to shoot her.

- Can we help?

- Have you a radio set?

Could you tell headquarters

I'll stand by until they arrive?

- Sure.

- Thank you.

A calf. Did you know she had a calf?

- Not until now.

- Poor baby.

That's too bad.

What?

Dallas! Watch out!

- That thing can hurt you.

- He's not afraid.

You ought to be afraid of him.

Well, Stan. It's up to you.

I don't envy you your job.

We'll go on ahead.

I'll get your message to headquarters.

- Come, Dallas.

- Let's get out of here.

- I don't want to watch it.

- Watch what?

- It's the only way.

- What are you talking about?

That poor little fellow

hasn't been weaned yet.

He's hungry, that's why he isn't afraid.

In a couple of days, with no food,

he won't make it.

Lions and hyenas...

Better to get it over quick.

- You're going to shoot him?

- I'm not, Stan's the game ranger.

- That's my job.

- It's not a nice job.

- Come on, Dallas.

- I won't come!

I won't come unless you take him.

He's small, we've got plenty of room.

- How will you feed him?

- We'll find a way.

If he's hungry, he'll eat. Shoot him

and you'll have to shoot me, too.

Don't tempt me!

You know, Sean,

there are lots of goats around here.

- Goats!

- Goat milk is very nourishing.

- You see!

- How many goats to fill him up?

- What's a few goats?

- How will you get the milk into him?

Posho would be good.

- Mealie flour with milk.

- Like baby formula.

What are you grinning about?

Put your two cents' worth in, Indian.

- I was thinking...

- He's thinking you're gonna lose.

- I am, am I? And you're all for it?

- That's it, bwana.

Fine. You go get the goats,

I'll go ahead and make camp.

All you have to do is get the goats

and an elephant into the cars.

In your spare time, figure how to get

the milk into the elephant.

I'm going on to camp.

See you there, if you ever make it.

Well? What do we do?

First, we take up a collection for

the United Elephant Fund: $2 each.

I'll negotiate for the goats

while you get 'em all in the cars.

That's it! That's it!

Everybody contributes. See you later.

- You missed a lot of fun.

- Getting the elephant into the car?

That was easy.

Trouble was with the goats.

- Elephants and goats don't mix.

- How about the elephant?

Dallas climbed into the car

and he followed. Look.

Come, Tembo!

Take him out of here

while we get some milk.

He's getting hungry.

Brandy, find me some pails

to put some milk in, ja?

OK, Kurt.

Well, boys. Let's unload the goats.

Hey! Get them, boys!

I'll get this one right here!

Tembo! Come back!

Now, get him over here.

Come on. Get him out of here!

Think this is a mess?

Wait till they milk 'em!

It won't be easy!

Quiet, Tembo.

- Pockets! What are you trying to do?

- I'm trying to milk this goat.

That's the wrong kind of goat. It's a ram!

Come on, I'll show you. Turn around.

- That's the way you do it?

- That's the way.

Quiet, Tembo.

They're getting the milk for you.

Now, hold it quiet, so I can...

Stand still, baby. Good...

- That doesn't get us anywhere.

- We are just wasting milk.

- A goat only gives so much a day.

- He must eat!

Don't look at me!

Feeding him is up to you people.

So start thinking.

Wait, if we take a radiator hose

and shove it down...

...take a radiator hose

and shove it down his throat.

- Then pour the milk in?

- You'll strangle him.

Maybe if we cut a hole

in the bottom of a bucket.

Yeah, but it's still...

Oh, shut up!

He still has to swallow,

now he just chokes.

I seem to remember you started all this.

- Me?

- Yeah.

- You're confused. I just went along.

- Well, think of something!

I'm trying. If he'd shut up for a minute,

I might be able to...

Hey, he's not yelling.

That's the way, Tembo. Easy!

Yes. Oh, that's good!

Wonderful!

Yes, Tembo. Here!

Yes... No, stop it.

That's good!

It's easy. I just thought,

"How do you feed a baby?"

They never begin by pouring stuff

into them out of a bucket.

Here! Here, Tembo.

Oh, that's nice!

We ought to try Longido.

Seven Sisters is on the way.

We might find them there.

- Hi, Brandy.

- Hi.

Come on. Let's see

which one has to go to work.

Go on, Chips. Take a straw.

I don't understand. What is this for?

Oh, I forgot.

I'm going to the river to take a bath.

I can't carry a gun

and take a bath, too,

so someone has to come with me -

whoever gets the short straw!

- Not with this leg, Brandy.

- OK.

We've been doing this

since she's been this high.

- I have the short straw, Brandy.

- Let's go.

Sean, tell me something.

When we all drew straws

to see who'd go with Brandy,

you didn't have a short straw.

- I know it.

- Why did you say you did?

Didn't you tell me you'd discovered

that Brandy was all grown up?

That Frenchman doesn't look at her

like she's a schoolgirl.

- And I'm not so sure about Pockets.

- Three of us.

So I figured I'd better be the one.

I still think of her as a kid.

All right, Papa.

Can I give you a little warning?

It isn't exactly a fatherly gleam

in your eye when you look at Dallas.

- Oh, stop it!

- Don't act innocent with me.

Do you want me to answer this letter

from the San Diego zoo?

- All right, I'll do it.

- Do what?

Answer the letter

from the San Diego zoo.

Oh, sure!

I've run out of cigarettes.

I'll get some in my tent.

- Hey, Pockets!

- Hi!

- I thought you'd turned in.

- Got a minute?

Did Sean have anything more to say

about the baby elephant?

He didn't want to see it shot

any more than you did.

- Where is it?

- It's a he, Pockets.

I've been mixed up once before today.

He's tied up over there,

under the trees. He's asleep.

Don't miss his two o'clock feeding.

He'll start squalling.

Sean wouldn't like that!

And you can't walk the floor

with him, either!

By the way, how are you doing

with the big bwana?

I don't know. You heard him today.

He would like to shoot me, he said.

I know. I thought it was a good sign.

Good sign! If he really

gets to like me, I'm in danger!

Remember, he won't start anything.

You're gonna have to do it! Ciao!

Ciao.

Well...

Now is as good a time as any!

All right, see you in the morning.

- Hi, Kurt.

- 'Night, Dallas.

Watch it, Papa.

- Hi, Sean.

- Hello, Dallas.

I wanted to thank you

for letting me keep the elephant.

Why me? There were a lot of other

people on your side. Thank them.

Well, I'm sorry there was

so much trouble about the goats and...

That couldn't be helped.

Pockets trying to milk that ram

made it worthwhile!

- Dallas, will you have a drink?

- No, thank you.

This is the first time

you've been nice to me.

I was almost afraid to come in here.

Well, why did you come?

- I wanted to ask you a question.

- Go ahead.

Sean...

- How do you like to kiss?

- How do I like to kiss?
