Oka! Page #4
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 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.
[Man singing

[native drums]
[people vocalizing]
[rhythmic clapping]
[no audible dialogue]
Larry...
Yeah?
Larry, Larry...

[Man speaking

[native wind instruments]
[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.
[animal chittering]
[African]
[polyphonic singing]
[Man speaking

[Man #2 speaking

Aagh! Aah!
