Four Frightened People Page #2

Give it to Judy, Mr. Corder, do.

Oh, now, Mr. Corder, with

all your experience...

you must see that poor girl is

simply starving for romance...

and quite madly attracted by you.

Do be nice to the poor little thing.

I don't like poor little things.

Oh, Judy!

Come on. We've got to make

Kintaling in time for the next boat.

Mr. Corder, thank you

for lending me your hat.

That was thoughtful. I do

appreciate... You're welcome.

That's your good deed for today.

Curious. No crocodiles.

Quick. To stand still, if you please.

Oh, come on, Montague, don't

try to sell us any melodrama.

It's all so peaceful here,

it's darn dull, if you ask me.

Come on, let's get out of here!

It's only a fallen coconut.

Do you think it's dull?

I think it's interesting.

It's practically virgin country.

Perhaps that's why Mr.

Corder doesn't like it.

Seladang.

What?

Seladang on trail, Tuan.

Most necessary we go round.

Look.

Why, it's nothing but a cow.

Oh, no, no. No, they're water buffalo.

Used extensively in this country and

China, Japan and the Philippines...

as a beast of burden.

No, no, mem ketchil. Beg pardon.

This is very different relative.

Please. Well...

Well, a country's animals comes

under the study of a country...

and I've taught geography

long enough to know...

A geography teacher?

Good heavens!

Tuan, please.

This highly efficient animal, seladang.

Kill even tiger very dead in single fight.

How do you spell it? Seladang.

Let's see. On the 11th, we

met the vicious seladang...

water buffalo, to you folks.

Many in herd. Must

go round, otherwise...

Nonsense! You're not afraid, are you?

Natural. Seladang would kill me.

Sometimes it's intelligent to be afraid.

Come on!

Quick!

Montague, are you sure you're going

to get us back to that trail all right?

Best English make, me, Tuan.

Very soon now, I shall exhibit

trail again. You'd better exhibit it.

He certainly had.

It's most important to our

International Congress...

that I should be in New York on time.

The paper I'm going to read indicates

18%% progress towards our objective.

What objective?

Fewer babies.

Oh, Mr. Ainger, you said you

simply had to be back to...

Quiet man, isn't he?

I simply must get back

by the first of the month.

The school board would just let

me out, and I couldn't afford that.

I borrowed the money from my uncle.

I live with them to make this trip.

Oh, nice.

Judy? Yes?

Now, we are two women

and utterly alone here.

And while I'm sure Mr. Corder and

Mr. Ainger are both gentlemen...

still, we must stick together

and present a solid front.

I don't understand.

We'll have to camp, won't
