King Solomon's Mines Page #2

YOU CAN'T GO ON.

YOU ARE ILL.

DO I CARE IF I AM ILL?

I DON'T KNOW WHERE

YOU'RE GOING BUT--

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE

I'M GOING BUT I TELL YOU,

YOU CANNOT FOLLOW.

I CROSSED THE DESERT.

AFTER THE DESERT, I FIND

KING SOLOMON'S MOUNTAIN.

AFTER THE MOUNTAIN,

I FIND KING SOLOMON'S MINES.

DIAMONDS.

SYLVESTRA, WHEN

YOU SEE ME AGAIN,

I'LL BE THE RICHEST

MAN ON EARTH.

SO, OUT OF THE WAY!

[Mumbling incoherently]

[Gasping]

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

THE MINES OF KING

SOLOMON OVER THE DESERT.

IS IT TRUE?

TRUE, WE HAVE

HEARD OF THE MINES.

[Quartermain]

GET ME SOME WATER.

[Speaking Kukuana]

ALL THE JEWELS OF OPHRAH

AND NO ONE EVER DISCOVERED

WHERE OPHRAH WAS.

THAT'S WHERE

IT IS MAYBE.

[Quartermain]

KATHY! MY

MEDICINE CHEST.

ALL RIGHT.

[Speaking Kukuana]

WHAT'S THAT YOU HAVE?

A MAP.

LOOK, 300

YEARS OLD.

HE SAID A MAN:

WENT THERE AND:

NEVER CAME BACK.

LOOK, THE WAY

ACROSS THE DESERT

AND HERE, KING SOLOMON'S

MOUNTAIN AND THE MINE.

THE JEWELS OF OPHRAH,

THE GREATEST TREASURE

IN THE WORLD!

NOW, THAT MAP IS HIS.

YOU HAD NO RIGHT

TO TAKE IT.

I KNOW, BUT IF HE

LIVES WE WON'T USE IT,

AND IF HE DOESN'T,

I'LL SEEK THE TREASURE

MESELF AND I'LL HAVE

MASSES SAID FOR HIS SOUL.

THE SHAMROCK! I SAID

IT'D BRING US LUCK.

[Quartermain]

KATHY!

I'M COMING.

DIG A GRAVE.

[Speaking Kukuana]

[Chanting]

ALL OVER?

GOD REST HIS SOUL.

KATHY ASLEEP?

IT MUST BE TERRIBLE TO

DIE ALONE IN THE DESERT

WITHOUT YOUR FOLKS.

TERRIBLE.

WHAT DID YOU:

THINK OF THE MAP?

HOW DID YOU GUESS?

I KNOW HUMAN:

NATURE WHERE:

TREASURE'S CONCERNED.

WHERE'S THE HARM?

I RETURNED IT.

AFTER TAKING A COPY.

WILL YOU BE:

SENDING THE MAP:

TO HIS FOLKS?

AND PROVOKE:

SOMEBODY ELSE:

TO LOSE HIS LIFE?

BESIDES, HE HAS NO FOLKS.

HAVE YOU LOOKED OVER IT?

DO YOU THINK IT'S GENUINE?

IT'S UNEXPLORED COUNTRY.

NOBODY KNOWS.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MAN

WHO MEANS TO KNOW.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA

TAKE THAT GIRL--

WHAT DO YOU:

TAKE ME FOR?

I'M HER FATHER,

NOT A MURDERER.

I SHALL GO ALONE.

IN ALL ME LIFE, I MAY

NEVER GET ANOTHER

CHANCE LIKE THIS.

OF DYING?

OF FINDING AN EXCUSE

FOR HAVING BEEN BORN.

YOU'LL THINK ME A CASUAL

KIND OF A MICK, WHO

DOESN'T CARE A CRUST

IF I'VE A SHILLING IN ME

POCKET TO BUY A MEAL FOR ME

OWN FLESH AND BLOOD,

BUT IT'S THE WAY

WE IRISH ARE,

TO TAKE OUR TROUBLES

WITH A SMILE IN OUR TEETH

WHILE UNDERNEATH,

THERE IS DEEP SHAME

IN ME HEART.

DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW

WHAT I OWE TO THAT CHILD

ASLEEP THERE?

I DO KNOW AND HERE

IS WHERE I MEAN TO PAY

THAT DEBT IN FULL.

WITH YOUR LIFE, HUH?

IF GOD WILLS IT,

WITH ME LIFE.

HOW DO YOU PROPOSE

TO MAKE THE JOURNEY?

HASN'T PROVIDENCE

SENT ME A TEAM OF OXEN?

AND A WAGON, AND STRENGTH
