No, no, no.

Don't even think about it.

Benny, if you're afraid to die,

you're afraid to live, boy.

Give that, give that, | give that!

What about this?

Holla.

That's our share | you got there.

Says who? | Baby, come on.

The BX-5.

Sure.

All right.

50-50.

Sure, sure.

My new partners.

Sure, sure.

I share business with you.

Pass it to your pals.

Ah, man. They're a bunch | of priests, man.

They don't touch this thing.

Hey, it's bad, hey. | Hey, some bad sh*t.

It's a nice thing, | you've got there.

Can I see it?

Don't you ever | do that again, man.

Don't you ever!

Let's go, guys.

Someone left his book here.

If the object was | to humiliate me,

you've done a damn, good job.

What did I do wrong?

You can't put | a dead bird on the table.

- We were having lunch. | - We were having lunch!

I was just trying | to make a point--

that we all live once, | but die twice.

The first time you die | is physical.

The second time is, | when you're forgotten.

What's wrong with that?

I wasn't trying | to humiliate anybody.

- Benny, you're hurting, man. | - Ow, Benny.

Calm down. Calm down.

Madiba.

You must come clean now.

What the f*** have you | brought us here for?

Watch my camera, man!

I'm tired now

and I can't walk any farther.

We've been walking all day! | What have you brought us here for?

I'm just looking.

Just looking?

Yeah...for things.

What things?

Interesting things to film.

- And what about that book? | - What book?

You've been hiding that book | for the whole day!

It's nothing. | It's just a book.

- Let me have a look. | - No.

We share, remember?

Come on, we can't | share everything.

Don't be stupid.

Where did you get it?

From the shops.

Since when do you buy books?

And where did you | get the money?

It's my book.

- It's your book? | - Yeah, I gave it to him.

Now you know.

You gave it to him?

That's what I said. | Are you deaf, or what?

I gave it to him! | Do you get it now?

You gave it to him?

Fine. | You gave it to him.

If any one of you is lying--

If any

one of you is lying--

If any one of you--

Don't try me, Madiba.

Don't try me.

Come on! | Stop it now, man!

Sipho, you're not funny.

Oh, come on, man.

Don't be stupid.

It's too dangerous.

Okay.

Don't be stupid. | Let's go get something to eat.

I'm starving.

That's the best thing | you ever said.

- Isn't it, guys? | - Come, Madiba.

You go ahead.

I'll stay here | and do my thing.

I've got a news flash for you.

I want you to | go to your room

and stay there | for the rest of the day.

While you're there, | I want you to consider

your behavior, young lady.

You understand me?

She's got her music lesson | this afternoon.
