YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MAN

WHO MEANS TO KNOW.

I'M HER FATHER,

NOT A MURDERER.

I SHALL GO ALONE.

IN ALL ME LIFE, I MAY

CHANCE LIKE THIS.

OF DYING?

OF FINDING AN EXCUSE

FOR HAVING BEEN BORN.

YOU'LL THINK ME A CASUAL

KIND OF A MICK, WHO

DOESN'T CARE A CRUST

IF I'VE A SHILLING IN ME

POCKET TO BUY A MEAL FOR ME

OWN FLESH AND BLOOD,

BUT IT'S THE WAY

WE IRISH ARE,

TO TAKE OUR TROUBLES

WITH A SMILE IN OUR TEETH

WHILE UNDERNEATH,

THERE IS DEEP SHAME

IN ME HEART.

DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW

WHAT I OWE TO THAT CHILD

ASLEEP THERE?

I DO KNOW AND HERE

IS WHERE I MEAN TO PAY

THAT DEBT IN FULL.

WITH YOUR LIFE, HUH?

IF GOD WILLS IT,

WITH ME LIFE.

HOW DO YOU PROPOSE

TO MAKE THE JOURNEY?

HASN'T PROVIDENCE

SENT ME A TEAM OF OXEN?

AND A WAGON, AND STRENGTH

AND PURPOSE TO CARRY ME

TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH?

YOU KNOW, O'BRIEN,

THERE'S ONLY ONE KIND OF MAN

THAT IS USELESS TO ARGUE WITH.

AND THAT IS?

A FOOL.

EH.

[Men speaking Kukuana]

INKOOSI, OUR WAGON,

WHERE IS IT?

I'LL TAKE YOU ON.

AT LEAST YOU'LL BE SURE

OF FOOD AND A WAGE.

KATHY, WAKE UP!

I DO NOT WORK FOR

MONEY AND YOU DO

NOT GO MY WAY.

[Quartermain]

KATHY!

ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,

HE'S GONE AFTER

THE TREASURE.

I KNOW.

WITHOUT ME.

ME, WHO LAY DREAMING

OF THE WAY WE'D GO TOGETHER.

DID YOU EVER HEAR

OF SUCH A THING?

[Quartermain]

HURRY UP,

THEY'RE STARTING.

YOU'RE HEADING THE WRONG WAY.

AREN'T WE GOING

AFTER ME FATHER?

NO.

BUT--

PUT ON YOUR BOOTS

AND GET INTO THE WAGON.

I TOLD YOUR FATHER

I'D LOOK AFTER YOU.

YOU KNEW HE WAS GOING

AND YOU LET HIM GO BY HIMSELF.

ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,

WILL YOU TAKE ME AFTER

ME FATHER, PLEASE?

WE'LL LOOK FOR

THE MINES TOGETHER.

AND WHEN WE FIND THEM,

YOU'LL HAVE YOUR SHARE

AND MORE, MUCH MORE.

DOESN'T A FORTUNE

MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

ALL RIGHT, IF YOU WON'T

TAKE ME IN YOUR WAGON

I'LL GO ON ME OWN 2 FEET.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?

I DID.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU

SAY SOMETHING?

[Quartermain]

BECAUSE YOU'RE

NOT GOING TO DO IT.

THE INKOOSIKAS GOES

ACROSS THE RIVER.

YES, I DO.

WHAT BUSINESS IS IT

OF YOURS?

THE INKOOSIKAS HAS

THE MAP. I GUIDE HER.

THE MAP'S IN MY WAGON.

NO ONE'S GOING

ACROSS THE RIVER.

KATHY, GET INTO

THAT WAGON.

GET INTO THAT WAGON!

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

I HAVE MANY NAMES.

ONE'LL DO.

UMBOPA.

WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?

YOU'RE AFTER

DIAMONDS.

WHITE MEN CARE:

FOR DIAMONDS.

THEN WHY DO YOU:

WANT TO GO NORTH?

MOVE UP.

[Speaking Kukuana]

NOW, LOOK HERE, UMBOPA.

IF YOU WON'T TAKE SERVICE

WITH ME, I DON'T WANT YOU

HANGING ABOUT MY CAMPS.

[Speaking Kukuana]

THAT FELLA'S

UP TO NO GOOD.

ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,

I'LL NEVER SPEAK

TO YOU AGAIN. NEVER!

I'M USED TO SILENCE.
