- You're not going to help. You can't.

Mr. Holt, I know you'll understand.

I do want to go so terribly.

I think if she wants to go

as much as all that...

she won't be a hindrance.

I think you're probably

the nicest man I ever met.

Anyone's nice who gives in to you.

You disagreeable old darling.

I'm mad about you.

Leave me alone. I'm not used to this.

Can you shoot?

Like an angel.

Riano, let me have that rifle.

- Beamish.

- Yes, miss?

Hat.

Satisfied?

Quite.

I'm tired. I'm going to turn in.

Good night, Holt. Good night, my girl.

- Good night, Dad.

- Sleep well.

Tell me, am I a nuisance?

Do I get in the way at all?

Not in the least.

You've shaken down to it marvelously.

- Better put this around your shoulders.

- Thanks.

The altitude plays funny tricks

with the temperature.

I'm not cold.

You may think you're not.

- You're very silent.

- I feel very silent.

You know, Jane...

I'm not a romantic sort of a person

or anything like that...

but if we get through this all right...

is there any kind of a chance for me?

With me?

I don't know.

I haven't thought about it much.

Will you?

I thought I hated this country.

Since you're here I almost love it.

Do you, Harry?

- I'm very glad.

- Are you?

Glad you like Africa.

Oh, poof.

Now you're laughing at me.

A little bit, perhaps.

But very tenderly.

- Old man hyena sounds pretty lively.

- Horrible noise, isn't it?

Yet, I don't know. It's part of it all.

- Love it, don't you?

- Love it. Who wouldn't?

Look.

Isn't it marvelous?

And the funny part is

I feel so completely at home.

Really?

Good night, Harry.

Funny little hand...

so capable and so strong...

and yet, so soft and so white.

Don't crush it, Harry.

I might want to use it again.

I'm sorry.

Good night, dear. Sleep soundly.

Soundly? With all this noise?

Isn't he grand?

So proud, so fierce,

and yet, so infinitely soothing.

Why, there's another one quite close.

Yes, much too close.

Keep a man on the fire all night.

Keep them going.

Yes, bwana.

Hello.

Must be a village near here somewhere.

That drum doesn't seem stationary.

It seems to be coming closer.

- It is.

- Help, bwana!

What was that?

Didn't sound like an animal.

Hold it there.

Get him some water.

- He say he look at Mutier escarpment.

- Mutier escarpment?

Make him tell you which direction. Where?

Did you get that?

We have to get him under cover.

Head back to your fires.

- What's the matter?

- They're after him. They're close.

Who are they, Harry?

What did he say?

He's looking for some fellow

that's broken the big law of the tribe.

No man's passed here.

We should have seen him.

I told him that.

- They're like evil ghosts.
