Mogambo Page #7

...he's taking a walk with Mrs. Nordley.

Do you realize that just from the way

I can't stop myself looking at you...

...that everybody knows?

- Everybody but Donald.

- At times I feel like...

- I know. I feel it myself.

But he has to be told, that's all.

I don't know how to tell him.

You stay in camp tomorrow.

I'm going up the hill.

- Do you understand?

- Yes.

Mind if I join the marshmallow roast?

No. Sit down.

Did you have a nice moonlight

constitutional?

- Very pleasant.

- "Pleasant," the man says.

At least that's gallantry.

It's none of my business...

...but old Donzy boy

is not such a bad shot.

And he'd be well within his rights

if he suddenly decided to take home...

...a little trophy from this paper chase.

As a matter of fact, your head would look

pretty decorative over his mantelpiece.

With your big ears stuck out

like an elephant about to charge.

Get off my back, Kelly.

I'm in no mood for it.

You mean that?

Vic, look at me.

This is no hit-and-run this time, is it?

You're really in love.

You better go to bed.

All right. I guess that's it.

I don't know how you'll solve this

or what good is going to come of it...

...but whatever you do, Vic,

I wish you all the happiness in the book.

Go on to bed, kid.

Black king. What do I want

with an old black king?

Okay. Let him go. He'll find out.

Little boy with a Daisy air rifle.

"And, gee, Dad, it was just my size!"

Brownie. You and Boltchak

check the nets on the other side.

The nets wobble.

That net's falling apart back there.

You know that, don't you?

You sure you still want

to go through with this?

Certainly, Vic.

It might be a little dangerous, you know.

The old ones are sure to charge the net

when they...

Brownie's around and they're trying

to rope a young one for you.

- Donald.

- Yes, Vic?

- I want to talk to you.

- Just a minute, Vic.

- Cigarette?

- Yes, thanks.

We might as well

make ourselves comfortable.

This may take five minutes,

it may take an hour.

Depends on their disposition.

- We can sit here and talk.

- Good. We haven't had much opportunity.

When I admire a fellow

I always like to get to know him better...

...exchange points of view and all that.

I like to have everything aboveboard too.

I'm glad to have

this opportunity of saying...

...that I think that everything's

been handled simply magnificently.

Things haven't gone off

exactly like they might have, but...

Truly, this will be one of the most

memorable experiences of my life.

It's only that...

I'm disappointed for Linda's sake,

that's all.

What about Linda?

Her not coming up today,

not feeling up to it and all.

I realize now that much as I

enjoy this sort of thing...

...field trips, roughing it, so to speak...

...it's not for Linda at all.

- She wanted to come up, but I told her...

- Yes, I know. She's been wonderful...

...making her pretenses in enjoying it.

But that's for my sake, you know.

She's been so moody of late,

almost irritable once or twice.

And believe me, Vic,

that's not like Linda at all.

The night before last she even forgot

it was our wedding anniversary.

That's usually the husband's blunder,

you know.

No, these trips aren't for Linda.

I suppose it's home in Devonshire

from now on...

...raising that family

sooner than I expected.

Forgive me if I tell you

how much I'm in love with her.

Do I have to forgive you for that?

Seriously. It's been great to become

friends with a fellow like you.

We're so different, you see.

I imagine you've had to rub and sweat,

even for every penny you've made...

...and everything you've

wanted to build. Me?

I'm one of those

silver-spoon chaps, I suppose.

I've been spouting

a whole autobiography.

Tell me something about yourself.

To begin with,

if I'm not too beastly inquisitive...

...we have wondered why

an attractive chap like you...

...has never got himself a wife.

I've been too busy collecting animals.

He's coming out now.

Stop talking

and watch what you came for.

- You certainly saved my life...

- You didn't think I planned it?

The last thing I wanted to do

was knock him over.

- No, of course...

- Let's stop the chatter for a while.

- Sorry. The little one got away.

- Never mind.

Tell Boltchak to stay up here.

Tell him I want to examine the gorilla.

Fine gorilla. Very fine specimen.

I'd say he weighed

close up to 700 or 800 pounds.

I say, Boltchak.

Do you have any idea

why Vic stalked off like that...

...going back to camp

with hardly a word?

I'd say he had a very good reason

for hurrying back to camp.

Here. Have some more.

I must have said something to upset him.

If you don't know the reason,

I'd begin to find out if I were you.

What do you mean by that?

If I had a wife as pretty as yours...

...I'd find out fast enough.

We'll go back to the canoes

the first thing in the morning...

...get an early start.

Everything goes.

Where is everybody?

- Still up there.

- Did you get the baby gorillas?

Everything fouled up.

You don't look much like a bridegroom...

...who cometh forth from his chamber

and rejoiceth at...

You don't look so hot.

I don't feel so hot.

You got left on third, huh, Marzy?

Didn't even go to bat.

You couldn't tell him?

No.

- You went noble.

- I went yellow.

You went noble.

How do you plan to break the news

down the street?

I'll think of some way.

That's just the way to keep you

clearheaded, of course.

Sometimes it gets you nasty

enough to get a nasty job done.

Then don't be so stingy

with your nastiness, partner.

Come here. Let's have a drink.

Like I've always said, Kelly,

you're all right.

- Here's to your noble nastiness.

- Skol, Kelly.

Drink up.

To the victor belongs the spoiled herring.

Victor, that's you. Vic. Joke. Laugh.

Yes, sir. You're all right, Kelly.

You've said that before, but I love it.

Don't worry, Vic.

I'm not trying to crawl back

into green pastures.

Poor old Marzy.

Got himself all tangled up

in one of his nets like a gorilla...

...and he doesn't know how to get out.

If you two will excuse me,

I think I shall retire.

No, don't.

There's plenty in the bottle yet...

...and more where that came from,

plenty for all of us.

Come on in, Linda. Join the party.

What are you so surprised about?

You always guessed Kelly and I

were old friends, didn't you?

It's all right for old friends

to have a drink, isn't it?

What are you saying? You're drunk.

Certainly I'm drunk, but I

certainly know what I'm saying.

Listen, Mrs. N,

you're not going to tell me...

...that you've been taking

all this seriously, are you?

You know how it is on safari.

It's in all the books.

The woman always falls

for the white hunter.

And we guys make the most of it.

Do you blame us?

When you come along

with that look in your eye...

...there isn't a guy

in the whole world who could...

- What's been going on?

- I'm glad you came in.
