The Last King of Scotland Page #2
I work at the medical compound in Mogambo.
- I'm a doctor.
- You are British?
I'm Scottish. I'm Scottish.
Scottish.
Why didn't you say so?
I fought with the Scots against the Mau Mau.
Great soldiers. Very brave.
And good people, completely.
Let me tell you, if I could be anything
instead of a Ugandan, I would be a Scot.
Right. Really?
Except for the red hair,
which I am sure is attractive to your women,
but which we Africans,
we find this quite disgusting.
Thank you, Dr Garrigan. A very good job.
Please.
Would you let me have this T-shirt?
My son Campbell, he would love this T-shirt.
- You've got a son called Campbell?
- Yeah.
Maybe you would take my shirt here
in exchange.
Right. Of course. Yeah.
Thank you.
You see? Now you are a general like me.
Salute, please.
Now I must leave.
I bet you that's worth a few bob.
I still can't believe how you shot that cow.
You're mad.
- Anyway, I...
- Do you fancy a wee drink on the porch?
No, thank you. I'm OK, really.
Nicholas, I have to go.
Look, it's fine, all right?
We're just having a drink.
God.
I can't do this.
What?
My husband is a good man.
Christ. I sound ridiculous.
I guess I just need you
to understand why I'm here.
- It's OK. I do understand.
- No, you don't.
- I'm sorry.
- It's OK.
It's just sometimes,
when you're married to
such a very good man,
it's... it makes you feel...
Like sh*t.
My father's the same.
And...
it's nice to be noticed.
- I can't. I can't.
- Sarah, it's...
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- It's fine.
- No, don't, please.
- Sarah, it's fine.
Please.
Nicholas.
Nicholas, there are some people
here to see you.
I'll be right there, David.
Right. Right.
- Good morning, Dr Garrigan.
- Morning.
My name is Jonah Wasswa,
Minister of Health.
I've been sent by
his Excellency President Amin.
- There is something he would like to ask you.
- What?
Sarah?
Hey. Listen, why don't you tell David
to rearrange the field trip for Friday?
I'll be back as soon as I can. He probably just
wants me to retie his bandages. See you later.
- My name is Masanga.
- Nice to meet you. I'm Nicholas.
Pleased to meet you, Mr Nicholas.
Welcome to the president's car.
They think you are the president.
They think you are the president.
The president's house.
Please, sit down.
- His Excellency will be with you in a moment.
- Who's this?
- Dr Junju. The previous incumbent.
- Of what?
Of the post
of personal physician to the president.
Hold on to your guns, everyone.
Hold on to your guns.
Good to see you again, Dr Garrigan.
You see, Jonah?
This is the sort of man a president needs,
someone who is not afraid to speak his mind.
So, what do you say, Nicholas?
