- Look, for 15 years, Michael,

you say "sell,"

I say "confirm. "

Sell, confirm.

Sell, confirm.

You confirm, and I sell.

You didn't confirm, so I didn't sell.

Look, kid, I've given

to the rain forest, okay?

His name is Mimi Siku.

- He's my son.

- What do you mean, "son"?

You didn't have one

when you left here three days ago.

Well, apparently I did.

He's Patricia's son.

He's Patricia

and my son.

- This your village, Baboon?

- Yep. This is my village.

It's big.

Where are all the animals?

Up in their offices, where they work.

Cromwell!

Okay.

Take a look at that.

Baboon must go

fight the chief.

Look at this!

Cromwell, look at this.

Coffee is at 88,

and it's dropping like a brick!

By tomorrow morning,

it could be 85 or lower.

Just wait it out.

Something will happen.

- The market will turn around.

- But what if it doesn't?

You remember

what happened in '91?

You can't always depend

on a natural disaster.

It doesn't have to be a disaster.

We can hope for an assassination.

Would you

take it seriously for one minute?

- I'm trying to lighten this guy up.

- Stop it. Stop it!

Now, come on.

Behave yourselves here!

Something better happen fast, or I'm

gonna throw your butts out the window!

What do you hotshots

think about when you make these deals?

You seem to have forgotten,

Cromwell, that you...

were investing

the company's money.

When you invest the company's money

and win, the company's behind you.

But when you screw up like this, you're

both on the hook for any loss we take.

- That would be over a million dollars.

- That's not my problem.

And by the way, Cromwell,

when somebody is playing

with millions of dollars of my money,

I generally like them

in the country.

- This country!

- Stop yelling, please.

This is still my office.

I'll shout, I'll yell,

I'll scream as much as I want.

When I made you shareholders

in this company,

it was to share profits,

not losses!

Not losses is right!

We're not here to share losses!

We're here

to share profits. Profits!

Profits! Huh?

Look up! It's an alien circle

with Mickey Rourke's picture in it.

Look, look,

look, look, look!

Up, up! Look!

Look up! Look up!

He just found out

that he has a son.

Look, look, look, look, look!

Stop shouting, Baboon.

Myteka kill chief.

Catch the damn spider,

will you, please?

Mm. I-I-I said I was gonna go fight

the chief, not kill the chief.

Around here, only... postal employees

kill chief. Do you understand?

Boy, whatever you do in Venezuela,

do not try the chili del fuego.

And I say we should just wait it out.

You're insane. Langston is right.

We have to find a buyer for the coffee,

cut our losses and get out now.

Wow! Nice shot!

Put this away.

Would you give me a few moments with

Charlotte before you bring Mimi up?

All right.

- Michael, you're back!

- Where's Brian? Brian, let's go.

Come on.

Come, come, come.

- Mmm.

- I missed you. You never called me.

We're here, but we're

not "here," okay?

Try to think of us as,

uh, furniture.

- Just act natural.

- So, did you miss me, darling?

I missed you very much.

My pieces in the show were

such a hit that Ian-

Michael Cromwell,

this is Ian Finch-Chumley.

- Good to meet you, Ian.

- Hi, Michael.

He's doing a profile on me

for the Fashion Channel.

He'll be following me from now

through the spring collection,

and he'll be covering

the wedding as well.

Isn't that fabulous?

There's a Fashion Channel?

- Yeah.

- Forget the camera.

Just talk to me.

They're furniture.

Now, honey, did you

get everything settled?

- Yeah.

- Yes! Oh!

Actually, um- Actually, Patricia

was very reasonable.

So... what did

you bring me?

Ow!

So, Mimi,

how old are you?

The roots

of the Yomano tree...

have broken ground

three times in my life.

So, I guess that

would make you around-

- Thirteen.

- Thirteen. Thirteen.

You know, I have a daughter

around that age. Karen.

Will I meet daughter?

Yeah, yeah. She's just up

at Charlotte's now.

She's trying on her dress

for the wedding.

- What are you doing?

- Feed Myteka.

What's Myteka?

- Are you upset?

- You brought back a child.

Everyone else I know comes back

from South America with a bag of coffee.

Well, I have ten million

bags of coffee.

I thought I'd bring back something

with a little less caffeine.

I have a show to prepare

and a wedding to plan.

That's months away. Honey?

He's only gonna be here

for a short while.

- Mimi.

- Baboon.

- What have you done with Mr. Kempster?

- Excuse me. Michael.

- Do you know who Myteka is?

- Daddy!

Karen. Look at you.

You look... beautiful.

Angel on table.

- Look at me. I'm smoking.

- The rain forest is a very hot issue.

Being associated

with this, uh, jungle bloke,

it can only help you.

Where's the rain forest?

Brian, find out

where the rain forest is.

Right.

Oh!

Mimi Siku,

this is Charlotte,

and, uh, Charlotte,

this is Mimi Siku.

It's a pleasure

to meet you, Mimi Siki.

- Mimi Siku.

- Mimi Siku.

- This your female, Baboon?

- This is my female.

And as his female,

I'd like to invite you...

to dinner tonight

with Fiona Gluckman.

She's the fashion editor

of Elle magazine.

Very major. She wants to see

the sketches for my wedding trousseau.

And if you're available,

I'd love for you to join us.

Is there anything special

you like to eat?

Lizard guts.

- Lizard guts?

- Yes, but very lean.

- Great earrings. Honey!

- Oh!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Mimi, Mimi, Mimi.

Do you remember what we talked about,

using the toilet on the airplane?

Let's continue to do that.

I will find the men's room for him,

and we will see you tonight.

Come on, Mimi.

Will he be wearing

the loincloth to dinner?

I'll get him some clothes.

No, no, no, no.

Don't, don't, don't.

Before you pee, you lift the seat. After

you pee, you put the seat back down.

Females in tribe start war over this.

Many deaths.

Oh, that's very good.

Very-

Bob Montgomery.

That's wonderful.

Listen. So, Bob, I'm standing

with Michael Cromwell,

and, you know, considering

our long history together,

you're the first person

we wanna make this offer to.

Are you ready?

Fifty-one hundred tons of coffee beans.

- We're dead. Okay?

- Baboon!

- Ah! He's doing a Fay Wray!

- Baboon!

- Michael! Mumu!

- Mimi!

- Come back inside!

- Statue of Liberty, Baboon.

- You do as I tell you.

- Get this!

- Come look!

- No, no, no! Come back here!

- Mimi, Get back in here.

- Cool.

- Life happens around you!

- Move. Get outta my way.

Come on. Mimi!

Watch out, watch out, watch out.

- Mimi! Mimi!

- Get the wide-angle lens!

Get out of the way, please!

Mimi!

Wait, wait, wait!

Statue of Liberty, Baboon.

Statue not far, Baboon.

Mimi, you stand right there.

- We go now?

- We'll go tomorrow, okay?

Whoa. Ahhh.

People down there

so far from us.

I'd like to keep 'em

that way, okay?

I'm gonna die up here.

Nothing bad happened,

Baboon.

I just hate heights.
