The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Page #4

My wife, she can't swim,

so, sadly, she eaten.

My second wife steps

on a cobra and dies.

It was very bad luck

to be married to me.

That's Mr Oti. He's an acquaintance

of an acquaintance of mine.

The next summer I'm captured...

-He's a pigmey.

...with six others

by Baschiele tribe.

They trade us for pigs,

shoes and beer

to a very strange

american man.

I hear you're not so old

as you looking.

You just foolin' everybody.

What's the matter,

did you get Madjembe?

What's madjembe?

-Worms.

I don't think I have worms.

This is just how I am.

Come, let's get a cold root beer.

I found medication

under your pillow.

I'm not supposed to.

It's dangerous.

Who said that?

Come on, little man.

Hurry up.

Halt, please!

Then I am in the monkey house

at Philadelphia Zoological Park.

Three thousand people

show up my first day.

Look.

What's it like living

in a cage? -It stinks.

But the monkeys,

they do some tricks there.

I throw a spear...

wrestle with Kowali,

she is orangutan.

When I'm not playing

with the monkeys,

they want me to run to the bars

in my cage, with my teeth.

So then what did you do?

-Then I leave ZOO.

Go here, go there,

wander most of the time.

You were all alone?

-Plenty of time you'd be alone.

When you're different like us,

it's gonna be that way.

But I tell you a little secret.

Fat people, skinny people,

tall people, white people...

they're just as alone as we are.

But they are scared shitless.

I think about the river

I grew up on.

It would be nice to sit

by my river again.

Come. I have an appointment.

There's my little man.

You ready, sugar?

Always ready.

Always ready.

Filamena, mr Benjamin.

It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.

-My pleasure, ma'am.

You can find your own

way home, can't you?

Take the St. Charles

line to Napoleon.

Where in God's name

have you been? Get in here!

Youre goin' to take my breath

away, you know that?

Oh Lord, I was so

worried about you.

It had been the best

day of my life.

How's her breathing?

-Shallow.

They're sayin' it will

reach us in few hours.

I gotta get my baby

and take him to my sister's.

They say there's nothin' to worry

about here in the hospital.

Nurses will be right here if you

need them. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay, reading...

I shouldn't be more

than an hour.

Was there just company?

It was just Dorothy leaving.

Go on, Caroline.

On sundays, the families

would come and visit.

It was Thanksgiving, 1930.

I met the person who

changed my life forever.

Well, Benjamin...

Might I say you are looking

strikingly youthful.

Good day, Mrs Fuller.

A single cane,

back straight as an arrow...

What elixir have
