Sleeping Sickness Page #2

---

I ask you, Madame.

It is time for boarding now.

Please, Monsieur.

Please, Monsieur.

This is the contract you

signed three years ago.

They should just exclude everything

if you want to destroy the project.

How shall we continue

with 300.000?

That's 25% less.

You need to talk to them!

Last week we had

three patients in Lolodorf.

Four

- Four.

How many do you have currently in Campos?

Of course, we have less

than last year.

It changes monthly!

It varies...

How many cases? Six?

Two years ago it was 60!

You know the statistics.

How should I

justify a larger budget?

The epidemic is under control

Frankfurt knows that.

How can you trust a statistic?

- It's your own statistics!

But how can we be sure?

Dr. Velten, you leave,

but the problems remain.

For Dr. Todorov, Dr. Miko

Dr. Onyango, Dr. Pambi and me.

You are forcing me to lay-offs!

What are you actually doing with

the money from the "international Fund"?

Dr. Onyango wanted to expand

the tuberculosis program for years now

Why do people come here, although

they could be treated in Campos?

Your hospitals

could be profitable.

Thanks for the advice!

- You're welcome!

I think sustainability should be

the long term goal for us all.

But perhaps

we rush into things.

Definitely!

Perhaps Frankfurt can

extend the transition period.

This program designed

for to 2 years.

Now it's 5 years

That's long enough

for a transition.

Anything else?

Thank you.

What are you doing with your cal'?

What?

How much do you want for it?

I think Dr. Todorov

will take it.

Do you want the cal'?

- I'll have to think about it.

He doesn't want the car!

He can have a new company car.

This one is for my son.

Tell me the price and

you'll get your money tomorrow.

I'm not gone yet, Mr. Ruhemba.

Maybe I even stay.

Why should you?

If you cut our budget further,

you'll have no work at all soon.

Call us, you'll have the money tomorrow.

- Agreed.

This will be the car of my son!

- Good-bye.

We will bring you to the hospital.

You are in the first stage

of sleeping sickness.

We can help you

but you must be treated immediately.

Can you contact your family?

I don't know.

Someone has to take care of you.

This is very important.

Do you understand?

Atypical adenopathy!

Will you?

I'd treat it with Melarsoprol.

You worked too long for MSF.

We don't give Melarsoprol to anybody.

It is torture.

How many relapses do

you have every year?

It's up to you

to change all that.

I had a Swiss colleague

who was killed by a hippopotamus.

In Congo, on the Kwilu river.

For years nobody had seen

hippos there.

People said, the pharmacist

had been transformed into the hippo.

Out of revenge:
My colleague

had slept with his wife.

I've seen strange things over there

You don't believe

in metamorphosis?

You're more black than I am.

I'm a development worker.

I must believe in metamorphosis!

I'll be missing the river.

I don't know where he is.

Where is that guy?

We had an appointment.

I have 5000 Euro in the pocket

and he won't even answer the phone

Don't worry, the car is yours.

He shall call me once he's back.

Okay.

This isn't professional.

The house is empty.

Nothing more to steal.

Thank you.

Is your wife still in the village?

She doesn't like the city.

And the children?

- In the village.

Okola isn't very far.

Too far to walk.

I can't let this plantation

go to the dogs.

I'll buy it.

And I need a partner.

I'm a doctor, not a manager.

And what have you done here?

You are manager.

It's more fun

to negotiate with starbucks,

than with corrupt a**holes

in the ministry.

Tamasha!

Gaspard, hello.

You look stunning. Come on!

Ebbo, Tamasha. We study together.

- Very pleased.

These girls

will revolutionize the country!

And how will you do that?

Ask Gaspard!

I believe in African women.

The men here are no good.

What are we doing here then?

- We?

We just help a bit

Champagne?

- Yes please.

Do you work here?

- I'll leave the country.

That's not true.

Gaspard knows me better

than I do myself.

Gaspard knows everything better!

- That's right!

I want to study in Germany.

But the embassy doesn't help me

with the scholarship.

The universities here are really bad.

It's not better in Germany.

- Of course, it's better!

Won 't you help hen'?

A beautification for any

German campus!

And you can't

find anything in France?

Me and France.

L gotta go...

I have a thousand things to do.

- "Thousand things."

Don't leave us alone.

I'm sorry. Good bye.

Goodbye, Victoria.

Stay a little longer please.

Damn, Ebbo, relax.

Tamasha is a friend of Victoria.

They're at college together.

She looks great.

Where is the problem?

This is not my thing.

They're not hookers, man!

Think about it!

And down by the river, the cascades,

the hippos and fishermen...

But why shouldn't I tell you...

It is such a special place...

But why shouldn't I tell you...

Yes. Yes.

I'm looking forward to seeing you

Yes. Yes.

Well, me too.

Yes. You too.

3 years later

Since 1960 over 500 billion

U.S. dollars flowed to Africa.

Is it the situation better today?

Development assistance

enriches the upper class and

deprives them of any

democratic responsibility.

A state that does not

dependent on taxes,

doesn't need to build

efficient institutions.

Our feelings of guilt

hinder us from seeing the

negative consequences

of development aid.

It's a fact:

Financial aid and debt relief

prevent the democratic and

economic development in Africa.

This must come to an end!

Trade, not aid

will defeat poverty.

Only the market is able to

solve the problems of Africa!

Thank you.

Only the market is able to

solve Africa's problems.

Are you going?

- Yes.

Do you want to you stay?

But yellow fever is no longer

existing in fact.

There are fewer cases

But the disease

shouldn't be trifled with.

Worldwide, there are at most

10 cases known.

The risk is much higher.

And for your visa

you need the vaccine. - OK.

About malaria:

There are three drugs.

Malarone, Doxycycline and Lariam.

Lariam you take

only once a week.

Lariam is hell.

The stuff initialized an

awful depression for me.

In the Third World you

can get depressed from many things.

There's Doxycycline,

it's cheaper than Malarone

But no medicine

is 100 percent safe.

And why should I take it then?

It reduces the risk of infection.

And makes depressed.

Oh man!

What's going on?

- May I have a smoke?

Give me a cigarette! Please.

But don't complain afterward

I'll quit.

- Oh yeah?

I'm serious.

Is it true?

You can tell me.

What should I tell you?

Are you f***ing him?

Why doesn't she say anything?

Do they really have bigger d*cks?

His is huge.

Oh yeah?

What's your problem?

I was just a question.

I'm a scientist,

I'm interested in facts.

And?

Just a question, which I

can't answer. - What's it about?

He wants to know if Africans

have bigger d*cks.

Yes, that's true.
