The Journey is the Destination Page #2

here in Nairobi.

You've been there,

haven't you, sir?

Tell me, young man,

what you plan to do when

you finish taking photos?

I'm not planning to finish, sir.

Actually, perhaps

we could have a meeting.

Discuss my ideas.

Like I was saying, I do

believe Robert Mugabe

is an exceptional politician.

Dan:
You are so beautiful.

You are so beautiful.

I love the way you look,

the way you talk,

the way you are.

Your eyes, your shoes,

your funny earring, your nose.

Your knees, your teeth.

Saba, what is it?

Saba, have you?

You made a decision yet,

darling?

Pardon?

Decision about university.

Oh, yes.

Cambridge law, I think,

same as daddy, come September.

That's my girl.

That's my girl.

Woman:
Impressive.

Impressive.

Just like daddy.

Benefits of an

English education.

Now, there are seven of you.

Small-to average-sized

African family.

Now you've just been forced

to flee your homeland

because of a disaster.

Not a natural disaster,

but a manmade one

which has seen your country

go down the tubes.

You are a family of refugees,

and this is all

you're going to eat...

On a good day.

I've got this one.

Pass me that sleeping bag, yeah?

Wait. Here.

Hey, guys!

We raised 75,800

Kenyan shillings.

So that's about $12,000.

Great.

Good job, everybody.

What, your dad's

big wet corporate kiss?

$17,000!

Yeah!

Yes!

Yeah! Whoo!

Kipinget.

Thanks for the lift, Dan.

Have a good one.

Take care, VJ.

I'll see you soon. Yeah.

It's Mozambique or bust!

Mozambique or bust.

Whoo!

Whoo!

I'm going to be sick.

I'm going to be sick.

- Oh, no, not again!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Why did you invite her, Dan?

She can't hack the bush.

She's all right.

She'll be fine.

Oh, we're overheating again.

Get some water ready.

Right. In the back.

You know, how many times

can a human being puke

in a single day?

I mean, honestly, we should

just leave her out here.

You know, make

a sacrifice of her.

This is Africa.

Rich, it's not that bad.

Really, it could be worse.

Whoa!

Oh!

One, two, three.

Augh!

Oh, god. Make sure

he's steering.

It's all right, Saba.

Don't worry about it.

Here we go!

She had sugar sweet lips.

And magical hips.

Just like I fantasized.

Okay.

No.

No. Stop!

I said okay!

Sorry. I thought

you were liking it.

You want to be screwed, huh?

No, no, no! Wait!

Now you're screwed.

Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Dan:
This rhythm

is more common

than any drumbeat in Africa.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

In Swahili, Pata Potea

means "find one, lose one"

because flip-flops

vanish just as frequently

as the socks

eaten by washing machines

in western culture.

Oh, sh*t.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Whoa!

Oh!

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Pata Potea. Pata Potea.

Rich!

Don't move.

He won't see you.

Don't move!

No.

Dan? Dan, are you okay?

Dan, are you all right?

That was the best!

Did you see? Did you see?

Did you see?

I could smell his breath!

Your legs are bleeding.

My camera!

Where's my camera?

Let's find the camera!

Take a photo!

Take a photo quick!

No, I want to see

what I'm thinking.

He's a little bit crazy.

Yeah, he is.

Man:
Just do it!

You are so good at this.

Any luck?

That was beautiful, Marte.

Thanks.

Have you brushed your teeth?

No, mother.

I'm not your mother.

Hello. The natives

are friendly.

It's customary.

For some lucky dog maybe.

I'm going to go

wash my mouth out.

Come on, Amy!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Try second gear.

Give it clutch.

Faster!

Faster.

That's it. Faster.

Libert!

galit!

- Safari!

- Safari!

Leaving Tanzania now.

Get your passports out.

Amy, can you grab my passport?

Move it on, move it on.

Make sure you got them all.

Do you want me to

take care of it?

All right. So...

Okay, cool.

I have this one.

Welcome to Malawi, guys.

Whoo!

Here we go.

And now with

a breaking news story,

we go to African correspondent

Dr. Lengai Croze.

This just in!

Africa's new and horrific

social health crisis.

A more venomous, more dangerous

and more addictive drug

known as Mbewa

is rearing its ratty head.

Children are given small

rats to begin with,

and as the addiction grows,

so does the price.

Ghastly!

Those who are selling the vermin

are becoming

millionaires overnight.

A shocking story,

Dr. Croze.

It nearly made me choke

on my shrimp salad.

Our hopes and prayers

are with you.

We hope to see you back

on English soil soon, sir.

Thank you so much.

Start at the head

and work your way up.

Come on, Eiji.

Ah, ah, ah.

Aah!

Aah!

Oh!

What's happening?

Refugees.

Look, Dan, is it safe or what?

Let's just go back to Nairobi.

No. Let's see

what's going on.

What are you, man,

like a disaster tourist?

We're in a war zone.

That's impossible.

We're still in Malawi.

Mozambique's another 50k.

Hey, hey, white boy,

what are you doing?

Hey, man, what

are you doing here?

What are you doing?

I haven't done anything.

I didn't do anything!

Hey, easy, man!

Let that go!

Easy, mate.

Can you close the door please?

Daniel. Dan!

Take it! Take it!

Take it! Take it!

Take the film!

Take the film!

Close the door!

Thank you.

All right, all right!

Dan, what were you thinking?

It was just a photo!

Get out of the way!

Okay, the camp's

beyond the checkpoints.

Follow the escort

in the morning,

make the donation,

paperwork, and that's it.

Uh, Dan?

We want to leave now.

We've talked about it,

and we all agree.

Who agrees?

Rich, you wanna come, right?

Saba?

Ames?

I don't think that you

can decide for them...

Or me.

Okay. Question one:

Hands up all those who

were expecting a vacation.

Dan...

Okay, question two:

If your hand's not up,

please tell me why you came

in the first place!

Dan, we all came

for the right reasons,

but there is a limit

to what we can do here.

If we all came

for the right reasons

and we've accomplished

absolutely nothing,

then question three:

How can you quit?

Don't be such an a**hole! She's

too young for you, rich!

It's not like that!

That's enough.

We're only telling you this

because we care about you.

Let's just calm down

and listen...

What are we doing

if we're not safe?

We can lose you.

And four:
Who thinks

they can leave now

when there's a curfew

on the road?

Or would you rather risk

getting arrested

and locked up

eating barbecue rats?

Dan:
Week three,

waiting for the army escort

through the tete corridor.

Sniper fire, bing, bing, bing.

Rebel rocket, boom, boom.

En route to the refugees

of a Marxist utopia.

Why would the south

African government

fund the Mozambique rebels?

Don't they have

their own problems?

That is the point, see.

A war next door

creates a diversion

from their own problems

over apartheid.

Keeps it out of the headlines.
