Paradise Page #2

Synopsis: In the Victorian period, two teenagers, David and Sarah, travel with a caravan from Baghdad to Damascus. At an oasis, the white slave agent known as the Jackal raids them, mainly to add the beautiful young Sarah to his harem. Only David and Sarah narrowly escape, and all the others are slayed in the massacre. Their flight leads them to a beautiful oasis - their paradise - where they discover love and sex. However, the Jackal has not given up on Sarah yet, and David must lure him to his death, or be killed by him.

About a mile away.

Very well, sir.

Take that beast up to the cave|and gather our things.

If you please, sir.

Where are you going?

For a closer look.

If they're friendly they could|help us to get out.

No! No, we can't trust anyone.

I shall be very careful.

Now, go. Get packing.

And mind you look after Miss Sarah.

This country's not fit a proper|young lady of breeding.

I wonder what's happened to Geoffrey.

I don't know.

He should be back by now.

I'm going to look for him|he may need help.

Wait! Be sure to come back.

I can't even get on this stupid|camel by myself.

I forget the word to make him kneel.

It's easy. It's...

No. No, don't tell me now.

Just show me later. Alright?

Yeah. The mighty hunter shall return.

Come with me, Ahmed, Ahmed,|come with me.

Where is the boy?

It's mine, it's mine... no, I want it|Bad girl.

Where were you? What were you doing.

Where is the boy, where is the boy?

Ah, I'm not hungry, I'm tired.

The men have left us alone and|we're here with nothing to do.

Sarah's trunk.

We'll look again tomorrow.

The girl cannot be far away.

Lying English. Pooh!

Who would believe he would|send us on a false trail.

Ha, indeed. He died more|bravely than I thought.

Sarah... Sarah...

The camel, we've got to get out of here.

Well, what happened?

Where's Geoffrey?

The Jackal killed him.

They did awful things to him.

God, let's get out of here|before he finds us!

He's...

they've killed him.

Oh, no.

Sarah, we got to get outta here.

How long have we been gone?

What does it matter?

We just can't give up... we can't.

We'll never get home, will we?

What's the matter?

I don't know.

I can't get him to move.

Well, that's it then.

We've had it. We can't walk out.

We've dead.

Ugh!

David, where are you going?

What's the difference?

Come on.

David!

Help, David, the camel.

David! David, help!

Sarah!

Sarah, wait for me.

I can't stop the camel!

Sarah, Where are you?

Sarah!

Sarah!

Got a reservation?

Whoo-hooh! Ha, ha, ha!

I don't believe it. I don't believe it!

Ah, that look good... looks good.|Hurry up.

I'm going to be in first.

No, you won't.

I'm going to be in first. You're slow.

You wanna make a bet?

Oh, oh.

I'm too slow?

Yeah, I'm going in first.

No, you're going in last.

Hurry up, hurry up, come on.

Hurry up... Hurry up or I'm going in|without you if you don't hurry up.

Come on, come on. Ready...

Yeah.

Set...

Go!

Can we stay here?

I'm not moving until at least, forever.

Mmmm... it's so quiet.

Sometimes it feels like we're the only|two people left in the world.

Our very own paradise...

that's what it's called in the Bible.

Paradise.

I like that.

I wonder what the first house|looked like.

Sarah... Sarah is that you?

Sarah?

Where did that come from?

I made it.

You make it? It's great.

I didn't know you could make things.

Well, you made this house.

I didn't know you could|make things either.

Try it.

It's beautiful. Really beautiful.

David. What was that?

I don't know. Stay here.

Wait. Maybe it'll go away.

Maybe it won't.

Alright, hold it right there, buster.

Sarah, come here quick. Look.

Ahhh, it's a dinner guest.

Think he's friendly?

Well, he's eating my cooking|and not complaining.

What can be friendlier that that?

Sarah... Sarah.

Come here, I won't hurt you.

This is David and I'm Sarah.|Nice to meet you.

Here.

You speak pretty good chimpanzee.

Well, what shall we name him?

I don't know. How about Doc?

Doc? Why Doc?

We have to have someone who|can read that medical book.

OK... Doc it is.

Just what I need, a critic.

Hi, have a nice day?

What's the matter?

Something wrong with your back?

No.

Then, what's the matter?

David... tell me...

do I look any bigger?

Taller you mean? Maybe.

No, not taller. Bigger.

Oh, you mean fat?

No, forget it.

Sarah, what do you mean?

Sarah, what are you talking about?

I said forget it. It doesn't matter.

Well, I'm not mind reader, you know.

No, just blind.

Sarah, wa...

Do you know what she's talking about?

Do you know what she's...

I don't know what she's talking about.

Nobody knows what she's talking about.

Women! Aghhh!

Shhhh.

Aghhh!

Sarah. Did you put that thing on me?

No, Doc did it.

Doc, did you do it?

Hmmmmmhumm.

Now you've had it.

Tattletale.

Thanks, Doc.

Sarah, come back here.

Sarah, when I get a hold of you.

Come back here!

Sarah, I told you when|I getta hold of you!

Will you ever do that to me again?

Huh? Promise?

No.

Promise.

I promise. I promise!

I promise, I promise.

I'll never lay a fingeron your|gorgeous body ever again.

That's better.

I lied... Ahh!

Sarah, are you alright?

Yes, go back to sleep.

Here, cover yourself with this blanket.

What's the matter?

I have stomach pains.

Maybe it was something you ate.

Well, good luck.

I'll need it.

Ha, ha. David, look at Doc.

Hey, hey, stop that.

Stop, Sarah, don't look,|c'mon, don't look.

Doc, get out of here, go on,|go on, get out of here.

Get out of here, Doc!

Come on, get outta here!

I said get out of here, Doc. Go on.

Come on, get outta here, Doc.

It's not funny.

Yes, it is.

It is not.

I bet you do that.

I do not.

Bet you do

the books says all boys do.

It's a natural thing.

I do not, it's not natural.

People who do that are crazy.

Well then, it's too late.

You're already crazy.

Oh, God, he's back.

Sarah, hurry!

David, maybe they'll just go on by.

They won't go on by.

They'll stop for water.

Yeah, but if we leave now,|they'll see us.

Then we'll hide in the dunes|and sneak away tonight.

This is our Paradise.

We can't just leave it.

Wait, David, what about Doc?

Doc...

oh, Doc, where are you?

The camel, Jesus, Sarah, stop it.

Oh, God!

It's gone. It's gone.

I couldn't catch the dawn thing.

It ran out into the desert.

David, I'm sorry.

You're sorry.

The only reason we're in this mess

is because you were flirting with|that guy in the marketplace!

David, that's not fair!

Fair!

He killed my mother and father

he killed Geoffrey

and he'll probably kill us.

So don't tell me about fair!

If he just kills me, I'll be lucky.

Come on, let's go, follow me.|Attack them!

Kill them!

I don't believe this.

Two chimps.

Well, we've got a DOc.|Why not an Eve.

Why not Adam?

Take a look.

Eve it is.

It's OK. We'll build a new one.

I didn't like the view anyway.

I'm sorry I yelled at you|when the camel ran away.

I know.

I really didn't mean it.

I know you didn't.

I promise I'll never let anything|happen to you.

Son of a b*tch.

Oh... sorry.

- Hold on.|- OK.

- You ready?|- uhuh!

Here we go.

That was fun.

David, what are you doing?

Stop, I can't.

I'm sorry.

I just... I don't think I'm ready.

You'll never be ready.

It's all because you've been reading|that damn book so much.

David... David, wait.

David, will you wait?

David, don't.

Give it to me.

What are you doing?

Please, please don't.

Get away from me.

Leave me alone.

Give it to me.

Come on, David.

You know you're crazy.
