Did I just get a job?

No. Only Ken and Kevin are full-time.

But I'll give you the same deal as Joao.

On days that you work for us,

I'll pay you a day rate.

You get paid the same if we use

all of your pics or none of them.

But you can sell

what we don't to AP or Reuters.

That's where you make your real money.

Here. It's for today's pics.

Sh*t.

Why did you go out there today?

Because it scared me.

Because it scared you?

Do you always do things

just because they scare you?

Not always, but sometimes.

Can I buy you dinner?

Can you afford to buy me dinner?

Oh, I can now.

This time I'll buy you dinner. Use that

to buy yourself a better camera.

We'll have to make it quick.

I have to be back at work in 40 minutes.

Why don't you just get a new strap, bru?

Because it's leather.

I'm ready. I'm ready.

The new guy.

- How's it?

- New gear?

- Yeah.

- Oh.

Ready for some fun?

One second.

It protects...

the advance mechanism on the bottom.

I just saved you money on resale, bru.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

How's it, Greg?

How's it?

- Nice camera, man.

- Thanks, bru.

So what's the weather report?

They say there's

about 2,000 Inkatha warriors

two clicks from here.

They're heavily armed.

They're on their way to the comrades.

Let's go.

- Yeah.

- Let's go!

Hey, Joao, is that a f***ing scanner?

Yeah.

You're a criminal degenerate,

you know that?

If the cops catch us with that,

- they'll put us in f***ing jail, man.

- Well if they stop us,

- it belongs to the new guy.

- Thanks.

It's down there.

Right there.

Ah, what have we got here?

This is fun.

Just smile and be cool.

Press on foot. Press.

It's press, eh?

Press on foot.

Press.

- Press, eh? Press.

- They're using muti.

They think it makes them invulnerable.

That's where they are, on the right.

- Ah, sh*t. Here they come.

- All right.

- Just park on the right there.

- Yeah.

Okay. Here we go.

You ready?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

Yeah.

Watch him.

It's all about reading the moment.

Watch him, man. He's the best.

He always works from the outside in.

And when it peaks...

You're there.

It's a thing of beauty, my friend.

Then, you shoot a black frame.

That just simply tells the desk

that's your best shot.

Let's go find one ourselves. Huh?

That's an army-issue R1.

Where the f*** are they

getting the guns?

What the f*** do you care, man?

It doesn't matter.

Just take the picture.

I guess the muti isn't working so well

this morning.

They still think it's working fine,

just not for them.

Go.

Can't you at least pretend to be scared?

Cool.

# I heard about this new disco

# So I really wanted to dance

# I just want to go in

and see my friend Romeo in there
