Oh, yeah, come on.

Get it, get it, get it.

Give it to me!

You're like

a little birdie up there.

[Cawing]

l will kill you.

You better give me that book.

"Shrimp and pea risotto

with basil and mint."

What are you, a chef?

None of your business.

Give me the book back!

Well, it looks like

you're Wolfgang Stuck

right here, huh?

Travis! Travis!

Hey, l let you pee.

Oh, yeah, you did. You did.

Thank you so much.

Do you have to pee, huh?

Well, you got 30 seconds.

Go ahead and pee.

[Trap snapping]

Oh, sh*t.

Hey, l was totally kidding

about what l said.

Give me the book. Turn around.

l don't want it,

l don't want it.

Why do you

always gotta hit me?

All right, now, listen to me.

We got to get to this tree.

Now, let's go back to back.

All right. Okay.

Kick your legs.

l'm trying!

l'm kicking my legs!

Where are you?

Grab my back, not my ass.

You got it?

Got it.

Oh, great, you did it.

Now what?

Put your arm over me,

get to the tree.

Listen, put your arm over me.

What, you're like

Joe Pig-snare?

Put your arm over me.

Just stop moving!

Grab the vine.

[Screeching]

You gotta grab the....

What was that?

Oh, sh*t.

What was that?

Monkeys.

[Growling]

Steady.

Steady.

Steady.

Steady!

TRAVIS:
Do not fight them!

Oh, my God!

What's he doing?

What is he doing?

He's humping you!

What's he doing?

He's humping you!

What's he doing?

Establish dominance!

Establish dominance!

Get him off me!

[Beck shouting]

He's humping me!

Make him stop!

[Gun firing]

BECK:
Who's that?

TRAVIS:
lt's the rebels.

Don't worry,

they're my friends. Hey.

[Travis speaking

in Portuguese]

God bless you. Say hi.

Hi.

These are your friends, huh?

Are you kidding me?

l'm starting to long

for a monkey with a hard-on.

[Whispering] Whatever happens,

just keep looking

into his eyes.

Won't that offend him?

No. Whatever you do,

do not blink.

They're like grizzlies.

Just shut up

and let me take care of this.

[Speaking in Portuguese]

He thinks

we work for Hatcher.

Well, tell him the truth.

Fierce gaze. Fierce gaze.

Fierce gaze.

[Speaking in Portuguese]

What's he saying?

Shut up. Just hold his gaze.

Hold his gaze.

Why do l get the feeling

you really suck at Portuguese?

Fierce gaze!

What's going on?

TRAVIS:
l think

he wants to fight you.

No, we're not fighting.

Tell him l don't wanna fight.

l do not wanna fight you.

We are not fighting.

l do not wanna fight.

We are not fighting.

Don't worry,

they're little people.

What?

You can take them,

they're little. You can win.

Why do you wanna fight?

Why? l just wanna

get back to the airport.

Please. l just have

to get home.

Okay, hip-hop.

l don't wanna do this.

Please, please.

Travis, tell them

one more time,

l do not wanna fight.

l'd love to help you out,

buddy...

but l don't think

they're really listening

to me anymore.

Heads up.

That's okay! That is okay.

[Men cheering]

[Speaking in Portuguese]

Don't do it.

What is that?

lt's like spinning

Tarzan jujitsu.

Speedy little bastards,

aren't they?

Head's gotta stay up.

[Screaming]

l am not your enemy.

[Gun firing]

[Mariana speaking

in Portuguese]

Mariana.

[Speaking in Portuguese]

What are you doing here?

Barmaid by day,

rebel leader by night.

You are good.

The whole time

l was working you,

you were working me.

l was hoping you might find

El Gato do Diabo.

lt couldn't have

all been work. Could it?

That was some good work.

MARIANA:
What do you think,

Travis?

l knew. You know that, right?

l totally knew.

Of course.

The herbs will keep it

from getting infected.

Why do you do this?

Pardon me?

Why do you fight?

Because of 65 cents an hour,

Mr. Beck.

That's what Hatcher pays

the workers. But in order

to mine, you need tools.

You need food, clothing,

a place to sleep.

You have no money,

so what do you do?

You borrow from Hatcher.

Pick and shovel, $1 a day.

Sack to hold the dirt,

another $1 .

Mr. Beck knows a lot

about that, don't you?

He knows what it's like

to dig a hole so deep,

you can never climb out.

Call it what you want.

lt's escvo. Slavery.

And we aim to stop it.

[Speaking in Portuguese]

Manito wants to know

who you think

would win a fight...

between Mike Tyson

and Muhammad Ali.

Ali, hands down.

He says,

"What about Tyson's power?"

Sh*t. Tell him Ali would have

done to Tyson what he did

to Foreman in Africa.

Rumble. Rumble in the Jungle.

Tell him Ali was too smart.

[Speaking in Portuguese]

Too smart, too fast.

He would have used his jabs.

Would have danced.

Would have played

with his mind.

Before you know it, bam!

Left to the body.

Bam! Right to the head.

Down goes Tyson.

"Float like butterfly."

"Sting like bee."

"Float like butterfly,

sting like bee."

Yeah!

ALL:
"Float like butterfly,

sting like a bee."

"Float like butterfly,

sting like a bee."

He says he thinks

you are a great fighter.

And he wants you to have it.

lt's for luck.

Tell him l'm sorry, l can't--

You'll offend him

if you refuse.

l'm honored. Thank you.

You'll need all the luck

you can get. lt's a long walk

back to the airfield.

Especially by yourself.

Nice.

You don't understand.

l'm not going back

without him.

Oh, here we go again.

Fifty rifles say you are.

And we're rebels, not thieves.

[Gun firing]

Hatcher!

[Shouting in Portuguese]

Travis!

Let's clean it up.

[Gun firing]

Not so fast, jungle boy.

[Motorcycle approaching]

Move. Move!

MARIANA:
Come on.

Manito! Manito!

Manito!

[Mariana speaking

in Portuguese]

BECK:
Go, go!

Manito!

Let's go!

l want hunting parties.

Small ones.

Find them. Find them!

MARIANA:
All right,

this is the way

it's going to be.

You're going to take me

to El Gato do Diabo.

And you're going

to take me now.

Calm down.

Don't. You saw what they do.

Don't ever tell me

to calm down.

Travis, don't play with me.

Or what?

Or l'm going to shoot you.

Well, if you shoot me,

you're never gonna

find the Gato.

So we're gonna

make a little deal.

Deal?

You see, El Gato

is just an object to you.

lt's a life on the Riviera

and a private yacht.

Lady, you don't know

the first thing about me.

For us, it's hope.

Oh, you're breaking

my heart.

lt's like

a frigging telethon.

You selfish--

[Gun firing]

No!

Sit down. Sit down!

Holy sh*t,

you tried to shoot me!

You saw it! Crazy.

Shut up.

You shut up.

The deal is this.

He'll take you to the Gato.

You just show me

how in the hell...

l get out of this jungle,

so l can take him home.

Deal?

Do we have a deal?

Deal.

Let me get this straight.

She gets what she needs,

you get what you need,

and l get the shaft.

l could always

give her back the gun.

l really don't like you.

Yeah, well, l get that a lot.

Seriously.

What?

l was just wondering

how it is you came to do...

you know,

whatever it is you do.

lt's a long story.

lt's a long walk.

l grew up in a very

rough place. One thing

led to another, that's all.

Just like you.
