When there's nothing | but carbolic round you hanker after rot.
Mmm. I understand.
- Hmm. | - It reeks of chains.
Yes. Hmm.
- It's a man's life out there, Phile. | - But why did you leave Africa?
Why? Oh, um, | get married, you know.
Wasn't there anybody to marry | out there in Africa?
Oh, yes. Plenty. | But they weren't white.
- Must they be white? | - Um - Hmm.
Ah, Mrs. Patterson. | What are you doing with those?
- Mrs. Baines told us to fill 'em. | - Where's Dolly and the others?
The weekend off. The | place is empty except for
Mrs. Baines, Phile and me. We carry on.
Phile, drink up the pop | and lend a hand with this.
Don't overwork him, Mr. Baines.
Got to make a living like everybody else.
- Does everybody make a living? | - Everybody.
- Even Papa? | - Just a slave really.
- Not an easy life like us. | - Can you make a living in Africa?
Make a living?
You can make a fortune. | Make anything you like.
Make elephants and kings and castles.
Yes. And shoot 'em too.
- If they don't get you. | - Can I show her the gun?
Don't you dare. Leave it where it is.
It's not loaded, | and Baines keeps the safety catch on.
Leave it be, Phile.
- It's got bullets too! | - Phile -
Phile.
So there you are. | Holding up the work again?
- There's still plenty to do. | - We'll get it finished.
By sitting around here all day long?
Good morning, Mr. | Baines. Till Monday.
- Ta, ta. | - No business to keep that gun in the house.
Come along, Master Phillipe. | Sit down there. Get on to that salad.
Baines is going to take me | for a walk this afternoon.
No, he isn't. | Not with all this work to do.
- There'll be time enough for both. | - Oh, please.
Work first, | and pleasure afterwards.
Easy to see you've been eating | between meals, Master Phillipe.
