King Solomon's Mines Page #3

Come on.

Wait.

Be careful, professor.

Looks like it's landing.

It's landing.

There must be an airfield. Come on.

- Haben sie das flugzeug berprft?

- Jawohl. Die maschine ist in ordnung.

- Ladies first.

- Thanks.

Keep down.

- Heute ist bestimmt wieder was los.

- Ja, ich hoffe, es rhrt sich was.

- Hi, boys.

- Was machst du denn hier, schtzchen?

Ich warte auf dich.

Great. Get in the plane, quick.

Get in the plane! Come on. Hurry.

Great. Now i'm gonna spin the propellor

and you press this red button. Got it?

I spin the propellor,

you press the red button.

- The red one. Push the red one.

- I'm pushing.

Push harder.

Hey! Jessie!

- What the hell are you doing?

- I can't stop it!

- I don't know how to do this.

- The throttle!

Let go of the throttle!

If i live i'm gonna kill her.

He, die haben mein flugzeug geklaut!

Die klauen das flugzeug!

(alarm)

- Stop it!

- Will you hurry up?!

Hey! I'm on your side, remember?

My father always wanted a boy.

- He'd know how to drive this thing.

- Jessie!

For pete's sake, slow down!

It just took off.

Don't worry, i'll get the hang of it.

- Are you nuts?

- It's like driving a car! Brrm!

Are you absolutely nuts?

Just look after yourself! Hang on!

(jessie screams)

Real bullets.

Aaaargh!

So, you are wanting to play chicken?

I have never yielded. Never!

Up!

Up! Up!

Ah, so, you are not a coward.

(gasping)

Pull back on the stick! Pull back on the...

for god's sake, open your eyes!

Very brave.

But if you have eine kleine brain in your

head, you will be pulling away now!

It's right there between your legs!

Pull on it!

Nein...

nein...

nein!

What was that?

(groans)

Where the devil

has that schweinehund gone?

Mind if i get in now?

Ok, i've got it.

(ride of the valkyries by wagner

plays on gramophone)

(sings along)

We must cross rivers, climb mountains.

Must we listen to this too?

I told you, this is wagner,

and i admire his music.

Wagner is the greatest composer

that ever lived.

- You mean he's dead?

- Of course.

- Allah be praised.

- You are an uncultured barbarian.

Hey.

That must be dogati and the boys.

Let's go down and take a look.

Maybe we can stir something up.

Zurck! Lhr verdammten

schwarzen idioten!

With their great understanding of german,

that should bring them back.

Zurckkommen! Hierher zu mir!

What are these?

Drop 'em and you'll find out.

Ah.

They're coming back.

They're coming back. You see?

With these primitive natives,

it's not the question of language.

It's the aura of authority, of command.

I commanded them

to come back here to me...

and they are running away.

That's all they can do,

these primitive cannibals!

Running away and eating people.

Eating people and running away.

Have you ever seen the german army

run away? Well, i ask you. Have you?

(elephants trumpeting)

I'll show you!

There's a lot of smoke

coming out the back.

Damn.

And there's some brown goop

leaking out the side.

Double damn.

We're gonna have to put her down.

We'll jump for it. When she hits, she might

blow. It's our best chance. Come on.

Here we go. One, two, three, follow me.

- You all right?

- I don't know yet.

I never should have let you fly it.

At least we're headed

in the right direction. Look.

The twin mountain peaks.

The breasts of sheba. If you'd crashed

between them, we'd be at the mines.

Ok, ok. Next time we steal a plane,

i'll let you crash it.

(explosion)

- Trouble?

- Nah.

(yells)

That's trouble.

- What are they saying?

- You don't want to know.

- Isn't that the guy from...

- yeah. Nice to be among friends.

A time for discretion, not valour.

Stop!

I think i'm gonna run out of bullets

before they run out of spears.

Did you see his necklace?

Yeah. A little pretentious for my taste.

(yells in mapaki language)

- They're friendly. How nice.

- Sure could have fooled me.

And that necklace - 21st dynasty.

- So?

- When solomon was king of israel.

- So?

- So, don't you see?

It's just more proof

that the mines aren't a legend.

That's a comfort.

What's wrong?

Jessie, they're having us for dinner.

Well, couldn't we just beg out?

I mean, without offending them?

They're not inviting us to dinner.

They're having us for dinner.

(gasps)

Oh, goodness gracious.

Well, do something! You're the adventurer!

Sure. You take the thousand on the right.

I'll take the thousand on the left.

(speaks mapaki language)

Apparently they prefer white meat.

- Ow!

- Agh!

(shouts)

- Oh, quatermain, i'm scared.

- You too, huh?

Ow!

Don't worry. I'm working on a plan.

- You are?

- Yeah.

(jessie) i can't believe this!

I don't wanna die!

- I don't wanna die!

- Hey, jessie.

Hey, look on the bright side, huh?

At least we're the main course!

Oh, sure! The brave joke!

Well, i don't need to die with dignity!

I wanna scream!

(screams)

(cannibals echo the scream)

We're not dead yet, jessie.

I hope they choke on us. (spits)

Not exactly my choice for a last meal.

- How's that plan coming?

- Uh...

still a few details to work out.

Excuse me.

Quatermain?

Quatermain?

Oh, it's... it's getting hot.

It's gonna get hotter. Follow me.

Did you find a door?

Just do what i do.

Come on.

It's rocking. It's rocking.

Good. Come on. More.

- When it goes... when it goes, hang on.

- Ok.

- Hang on tight.

- Ok. Go.

- One more time.

- Ok.

seem... seemed like

a good idea at the time.

Are you hurt?

- Are you hurt?

- Oh!

Oh, god! Everything's moving.

(moans)

Just let me lie here for a week.

Anything broke? Hm?

Oh, everything's spinning.

God, there's eight of you.

Hey, come on. We gotta get out.

Uh-oh.

Go on! Shoo! Go away!

Not a good idea.

- So, what are we gonna do?

- Uh...

wait him out.

He'll get bored and wander off.

Did anyone ever tell you you look

ravishing with... onions in your hair?

Thank you.

- Think i should wear them all the time?

- Oh, yes. Delicious.

Dogati! Come on.

Quick.

Come on.

Gut gemacht. Mach so weiter.

Quatermain's gun.

Then he has been... eaten?

Blind optimism.

Till i see the body, he's not dead.

- Bet you never had this much fun in lowa.

- Or exercise.

Can we stop for a second?

Not till we put more jungle between us

and dogati. Can you make another hour?

Can you?

Jessie, there's no time to... jessie?

Jessie? What the...?

- They washed my shirt.

- Yeah.

Me too.

You're not gonna...

put it on right away, are you? Kinda hot.

Here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Why are they bringing me all these

things? Why are they making such a fuss?

Maybe they've never seen

a white woman before.

Maybe.

Well, at least they're friendly.

- Obugwa.

- What?

Obugwa! They must be obugwa.

Another tribe that legend says

guards the way to king solomon's mines.

Unhappy with the world the way it is,

they live upside down hoping to change it.

- Oh, that's sad.

- Mm.

Must be hell to keep your change

in your pockets.

- What is it?

- I don't know.

Looks like...
