like... a bug!

Mimi, don't. No, no.

I can handle this.

Go to the village.

Save yourself!

No, no, don't!

Back! Jesus!

If you scream,

Myteka attack.

If you're calm,

Myteka nice.

- But kukuve always mean.

- Who's kukuve?

Huh?

This place is a nightmare!

Baboon! Baboon!

Nice turtle.

Baboon! Baboon!

The hair on your chest

reminds them of a monkey.

"Baboon" is

your Pinare name.

Baboon? That's the best

they could come up with?

At first they wanted to go with

"Man Who Must Be Smarter Than He Looks. "

If we get to pick our own names,

I'd like to pick this:

"Man Who's Extremely

Well-Endowed. "

Sorry.

It's already taken.

- What's he sayin' to them?

- The chief is telling the forest that Mimi's no longer a child.

- Are they finished?

- Almost.

But to become

a tribal leader someday,

Mimi has to perform a special task

that the chief will give to him.

He says he's

very proud of Mimi Siku,

and, as his father,

you should be too.

Well, I am very proud of him,

considering the fact...

that I just found out

a couple days ago I had a son,

and I'm standing

about four feet from a witch doctor.

Mimi has the task of bringing fire

back from the Statue of Liberty.

Guy doesn't

kid around, does he?

You promised to take me

to New York when I become a man, Baboon.

- And when you're a man, I will.

- In this tribe, he is a man,

and he wants to go now?

No. Tomorrow we fly to Caracas,

we sign the divorce papers.

Then I get in a big, steel bird

and fly back to New York City.

- Yakuza.

- Did you promise to take him or not?

Maybe. Mimi Siku, I have to be back

on the exchange floor.

I'm gettin' married.

I cannot take you tomorrow.

Here, if you make

a promise, you keep it.

"Tomorrow," "Can't," "Maybe. "

These words don't mean anything to Mimi.

You brought him down here to live

with the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Maybe you should have

taught him better English.

This is the most important day

in your son's life,

and he wanted you here

to share it with him,

and now you're going to humiliate him

in front of the whole tribe...

by not keeping the first promise

you ever made to him?

Baboon, I-

I want to go.

Mimi Siku, I am-

I'm very sorry.

You made

wakatepe with me.

Excuse me, Mr. Cromwell,

but the young man you're with

is urinating on the exit door.

Thank you.

Me happy to be

with you, Baboon.

Michael!

Michael!

All right, we gotta

get movin' here pretty-

Get on. It's just a moving sidewalk.

Michael!

Hey, Mike!

- Michael, how ya doin'?

- Richard, what are you doing here?

I told Langston you had a reason.

You do have a reason, right?

- For what?

- For holding on to the beans.

- What beans?
