They speak of this,

uh, monster

that only the Bayaka

can speak to.

Mokiliimbimbi.

[Men speaking

in native language]

There you go.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

What are they saying?

[Man continues]

Uh, they're saying,

uh, that, uh, it has

big scales

like a crocodile,

and it sleeps on a bed

of elephant tusks,

and has a horn

out of its forehead,

and that its-- that its feet

are on backwards.

[speaking in foreign language]

Smoking too much

of that pipe.

[all imitating creature roaring]

Wooh!

[men continue roaring]

Kirikiri.

[Man speaking

in foreign language]

Ah, welcome, Mr. Larry.

Please.

[chair whooshes]

Thank you for coming.

[speaks in French]

You have everything

you need?

Not exactly.

If our little brothers

give you any problem,

don't hesitate to tell me.

I will have my men

straighten them out.

No.

[speaking in French]

Good.

Now, for the matter

at hand, uh,

you haven't registered

your recording equipment

with my office.

Do you have a permit

to make recordings?

[clears throat]

I have never needed one.

I told you,

this is a modern country.

We have regulations now

regarding our patrimony.

You cannot go recording

our birds and animals for free.

I am adding to the patrimony

the complete recordings

of the Babajella

Forest Instruments.

I know all about

your project, Mr. Larry,

but without a permit--

I have never heard

about a permit!

Are you deaf?

No.

You understand what I said?

New regulations!

You must bring your equipment

here immediately

and leave it with me

for safekeeping!

What is it with you people

and your obsession

with pieces of paper

with your stupid

official stamps on it?

Who created

the little papers?

It's my people,

or your people?

And now,

for the last time,

you must bring your equipment

here immediately.

Mr. Larry, don't worry.

I will personally ensure

that it is returned to you.

Larry...

Yeah?

Larry, Larry...

[tinnitus humming]

[high-pitched whistling]

[Simboki]

Bobanjo! Bobanjo!

Bobanjo! Bobanjo!

Bobanjo!

[distant chatter]

Sataka.

I brought a gift for you.

I have a gift for you.

[speaking in foreign language]

Sataka!

[thunderclap]

[bird squawks]

Ow.

Aagh! Aah!
