this here one. I'll ask her.

I...

Ay-yai-yai-yai-yai.

Bud, come here. Come

here. What's the matter?

You talk to this lady. Maybe

she can answer... Okay. Oh, sure!

I... This is mine! This is the one I...

Uh, you...

Yeah... Oh!

Uh, do you happen to know

Abdullah the wrestler?

"Wrest-lur?"

Wrestler.

These wrestlers are very strong, and

they-they-they try to get a, a hold on you.

And they put their, um... They-They...

Sometimes they, they-they...

They sort of pick it up and-and...

on the head. Do you get it?

And sometimes... And then, then

again they give you a headlock like...

They, they...

They, they...

Y-You don't know

how to wrestle?

Can I show you? You-You

see, I'm your opponent.

And then, then you take one arm

and put it around your opponent.

And you take the other arm and

put it around your opponent.

And then sometimes your opponent

wants to give you a bear hug, and he...

He... He...

He... Mmm.

Lou.!

Hmm?

What's the idea?

I wasn't kissing anybody.

What is this? What is

what? Oh, how did that...

What are you trying to

do, get us killed? Oh, no.

In this country men don't get familiar

with women. Well, don't they kiss 'em?

No! No, they don't. And don't

they go out with 'em? Don't they...

No, no, no. No!

They don't?

Boy, is that woman in the wrong country.

I...

Oh, will you st... There's

a hotel. Let's check in.

Okay.

Will you get out of my way? Now you

stay outside and watch for Abdullah.

Abdullah? I'll do it. Abdullah!

Now you sit down there and

keep your eyes open. Oh, yeah.

Uh, just a minute. Here's

a tip for carrying the bags.

Put that down. Put it

back! "Put that down. "

"Put that down. "

Eeeeh!

What is it?

I must seeJosef at once.

His Excellency Sheik Hamud and

Sergeant Axmann are with Josef.

I have important information.

Josef?

Not now. Out!

Why didn't you warn me, Axmann, that the

Legionnaires would be guarding the construction camp?

Last night's attack cost me 12

men. It was worth it, Sheik Hamud.

This morning at the commandant's office,

the railroad company engineers were raging.

On this very map

they showed him...

that unless he can clear

the desert of your raiders,

they won't be able

to lay the tracks...

from Beni Abbess to Ouargla.

The company will be forced to build

the railroad the long way around...

at a cost of one million pounds.

What did the commandant say?

He promised them more troops. A

full company will proceed tonight...

from Fort Lallemand, here,

to Beni Abbes, here.

Cut them off and destroy

them at El Golea.

The construction camps

will be at our mercy.

Well, always more attacks.

What about money?

If you can stop work on the

railroad for another 30 days,
