I Am Not a Witch Page #3

Shula.

How did you know that he was the thief?

Out of all of them,

how did you know it was him?

Huh?

You are a witch, right?

You really are a witch.

You are my little witch.

Right? My little witch.

And you know what?

We will leave those old ladies

working on the farms.

You and I, we'll work together.

Shula, my little witch.

My little witch.

You and me, we'll work together, right?

You are very good.

You're a nice witch.

See, the offerings are now coming.

Good, good, good.

Thank you.

She's saying hello.

Hi!

OK.

There you go.

Our visitor has arrived.

It's good she's come.

Welcome.

- Let's go.

- You are welcome.

It's good you brought her.

It's really good.

I'm happy that you've come.

I've been waiting for you.

I'll see you guys.

- Okay, darling. Later.

- Shula, I'll see you.

I will see you.

Ok bye.

- I'll see you, honey.

- Okay, babe.

I am so happy that you've come.

Now, listen.

I'm going to pour some gin here.

It's not disrespectful.

If any witch comes here,

I get scared that bad spirits might come in.

I don't want bad spirits

entering the house,

only good spirits, do you understand?

Don't think about it in a bad way.

I only want good spirits coming in.

Do you know what I want to show you?

This is a chandelier.

Say chandelier.

- Chandelier.

- Chandelier.

When you switch on the lights at night,

it's really something to see.

Just uncover it.

You have one as well?

Mm-hm.

You're shocked.

Aha.

Come and sit over here and I'll explain.

I used to be like you when I was a kid.

Like you, they used to

take me out all the time.

I used to be taken around in a truck.

They used to follow me everywhere.

They said I couldn't go anywhere,

they said I couldn't cut

the ribbon or do anything.

They said if I cut the ribbon,

I'd turn into a goat.

Now, I didn't turn into a goat.

And do you know why?

Uh-uh.

Respectability.

Do you know what that is?

Respect through marriage.

Do you know how I became this way?

Because I did everything I was told.

I did everything I was told.

If I was told do this, do that,

go here and go there.

I did it all without question.

I had respect.

So, if you do the same,

you'll be just like me,

maybe even better.

Do you know how to hook it?

Now turn around.

Turn and look.

Can you see?

Shula.

Do you want to call Grandma?

Eh?

No.

- It's that one.

- Which one?

This one in front.

- The one with the big nose?

- Mm-hm.

- This one?

- Mm.

She's picked you. Shula's picked you.

Shula's picked you, talk.

There's no water.

Mum, how are you?

And who's that?

- Mr. Phiri, a teacher, he gave me a lift.

- Whatever.

Go!

You're here again?

You stupid man!

You idiot, didn't I tell you...

don't come here!

You're the one who accused me of witchcraft!

You idiot!

You're brainless.

If you had any sense,

you'd feel sorry for me.

I'm suffering here because he called me a witch.

You're one of the reasons

why I'm suffering. You're stupid.

- He's the only man who loves me.

- Shut up!

What do you want me to do, leave him?

Look in the mirror, see how nice it looks.

Just pull the fringe down in front.

See?

It's nice. Honestly, you're gorgeous.

Madam, try the "Mandonna",

see how it looks.

This one has a natural curl in it.

Pull it down to hide those tattoos.

Hide those tattoos on your forehead.

Gosh, I look nice.

Honestly, I really do.

Madam, what did you ask for?

- The brown one?

- The brown one.

I couldn't find a brown one,

it's gone out of fashion.

That's why I brought you

the latest one. "Rahinna".

- You know the American musician?

- Yes

It's really fashionable.

Let's have a look.

That one's nice.

Mmmmm!

This is nice.

You are gorgeous.

Check in the mirror.

Mm-mm-mm!

- This is really nice.

- It really is.

Ladies!

Mama...

I see you've all got wigs on.

How are you paying for them?

Credit.

We'll use the offerings

Shula brings back from her job.

Ladies, how can you depend on Shula,

on a little girl like that?

You're depending on her

to get credit for your wigs?

Come on, let's not get jealous.

Let's get down to business.

Now, for payment...

Auntie, for that one, the "Minny Mikaj" one,

together with the "Sim Kardashan" one,

you can give me two bottles of gin.

For the...

I've already told you, for the "Beyancey"

I'll charge you two gins.

3, 4, 5,

6, 7, 8.

9, 10, 11,

12, 13, 14,

- 15, 16...

- You

What are you doing in there?

Are you a witch?

What are you doing in there?

What are...

I've caught you, I've found you today.

You're the witch that ate all my relatives.

Come outside!

I am coming in there!

You'll see what will happen to you

once I get in there!

You come outside!

Come outside!

Do you live there?

Come out!

Hey!

- Yes sir?

- What are you doing?

- There's a witch.

- My friend this is Government property.

Don't play around with Government property.

- There's a witch inside!

- What witch?

- Haven't you seen the witch sir?

- That too is Government property.

- I'll slap you.

- Let the witch come out.

- That is a witch!

- My friend...

- No.

- Don't be funny.

But sir, can't you see...

Don't play around with this.

Stay away from her she's Government property.

Add some more

This is time to celebrate,

now we've grown old, we have grey hair.

This is the age to eat,

this is the age of grey hair.

We're old, put some more for me.

Let's drink, let's drink.

Let me first drink this...

Troubled thoughts.

These troubled thoughts have conquered us.

You get the next bottle.

When they come today I'll kick you.

When we arrive, make sure you

do everything I showed you at home.

You understand?

Make sure you do exactly as

we did before, understand?

Don't be scared or anything like that.

Everything I taught you before.

You did really well. You understand?

OK.

Exactly!

Did I put the gin in the car?

Maybe I left it on the table?

Or where did I leave it?

Check to see if I put the gin in my handbag?

Look carefully.

No, it's not here.

There's nothing?

My God.

What am I going to do?

Witch!

There's a witch!

Everyone, come and see the witch!

There it is.

Come and see.

What?

What's your problem?

Leave me alone.

What is it?

What is your problem?

No.

I've got respectability, I'm a married woman.

What is your problem?

Have you ever seen a witch looking like this?

See! I knew it!

There, you see that?

We know them.

She's the one.

Do you know that I'm married?

Go away.

Get out of the way.

You think we don't know what that is?

Kill it!

Leave me alone.

Shula.

Shula.

Look at me, cheer up.

You're fine right?

Shula.

Start doing what we practised at home.

Rain! It will rain.

It will rain. It will rain.

It will rain. It will rain.

The spirits have agreed.

The spirits...

The spirits have agreed that the rain will come!

My God.

It will rain!

Hey! Hey!

It will rain!

The spirits have agreed.

It will rain.

Is that it?

Yes, it will rain.

Everything's fine.

Exactly when is it going to rain?
