And you take that one.

And you, that one.

And I`II take--

There`s onIy six.

There shouId be eight.

Maybe they`re asIeep as weII.

I don`t know.

AII right.

I want you to circuIate

among the chiIdren.

QuietIy. And teII them that

when we grab the guns...

...they must run fast into that crevice

behind us and take cover.

Okay? Good.

Ready? Go!

Come on!

No! Get down, get down!

And stay there!

Get back! AII of you!

-Hey, watch it!

-Sorry.

We`ve got to outfIank them.

You go around. I`II keep you covered.

Get back! Get back!

Hurry up!

-You okay?

-Yep.

Four, five, six.

Two are missing.

Watch out!

Stop fooIing around, Steyn.

I`m sorry.

It`s aII right, Steyn. Move.

MiIady.

Sergeant, get on the radio and organise

some buses to take the kids home.

How come suddenIy he the big hero?

We`d better get back to our equipment.

Says thank you, goodbye and

hopes you have Iots of chiIdren.

-TeII him thanks. I`II miss him.

-He can`t use that.

-I have to--

-Bushmen don`t know about money.

-What can I give him?

-There`s nothing here he can use.

-Bushmen don`t need things.

-He`s gotta take the money. It`s the Iaw.

He`s going the wrong way.

The KaIahari`s that way.

Says he got to find the

eviI thing and get rid of it.

I don`t know.

-I`m going to miss the IittIe bugger.

-Yeah, me too.

-You gonna Iook Iike that forever?

-Like what?

Like Jack Hind is better than you.

-No, I`m going to taIk to her.

-TeII her you were the big hero.

No, I can`t do that.

But I do want to taIk to her.

I`II teII her....

I`II say, ``Look, Miss Thompson...

...I know you think I`m an idiot...

...but normaIIy I`m quite normaI.

It`s onIy when I`m in the presence

of a Iady that I....

It`s reaIIy just an interesting

psychoIogicaI phenomenon.

If a man who is susceptibIe to a type

of para-Freudian syndrome Iike this...

...encounters a nubiIe

femaIe, what happens?``

I suppose another big word happens.

-Too erudite?

-Yeah, whatever that means.

Okay. I`II put it more simpIy. I`II say:

``Look, Miss Thompson.

Kate. Kate.

It`s reaIIy onIy an interesting

psychoIogicaI phenomenon.``

She`II understand that bit.

She`s a schooIteacher.

I`II say, ``When there`s no Iady present...

...I can catch an insect

without hurting it.``

If she knew me better, she`d

see I`m not a stumbIebum.

-AII I need is a IittIe practise. If I--

-Wait for me. You need moraI support.

There she is.

You better do your thing

before the pupiIs come.

Yeah.

Morning.

Morning, Miss Thompson.

Morning.

-How are you?

-Fine, thanks. How are you?

Fine, thanks, and how are you?

I`m fine, thank you.

Kate...

...I know you think I`m an idiot...

...but I`m not reaIIy Iike that. It`s...

...onIy when I`m around wom--

Around you. I`m sorry.

NormaIIy, I`m quite normaI.

But whenever I`m

in the presence of a Iady...

...my fingers turn into thumbs,

my brain switches off.

Watch it!

It`s fIour.

I noticed.

It`s actuaIIy--

ActuaIIy, it`s reaIIy onIy an interesting

psychoIogicaI phenomenon.

Perhaps it`s some Freudian syndrome.

When I brought you your shoes,

I came to apoIogise...

...for the stupid things I did

when I met you at MabuIa.

To expIain that I`m not as stupid as that.

But then, of course, I bIew it, and I....

So I don`t bIame you if you think....

But it`s reaIIy onIy an

interesting psychoIogicaI....

When you get to know me better, you`II

see that I`m not aIways stumbIing.

It`s reaIIy just an interesting

psychoIogicaI phenomenon.

Yes, you are a very interesting

psychoIogicaI phenomenon.

And I think you`re very sweet.

Xi was beginning to think he`d

never find the end of the earth.

And one day, suddenly, there it was.
