The report
is for the records, Wilson,
So go into details.
If it'd make you
feel any better to talk,
I'll listen to you
anytime.
Tell me all that happened...
Off the record, Wilson.
You know, off the record.
Off the record.
Uh,
Mr. Macomber.
Yes, sir.
There he is.
You must be Wilson.
That's right.
Francis Macomber.
I'm a bit late.
Oh, that's all right.
I haven't been waiting long.
You know
what this is about...
Keen on doing
some hunting with you.
Well,
that's my business.
Care to have a drink
while we talk about it?
Sometimes helps.
Ah. What'll it be?
I'll have
a gimlet, mike.
Righto, Mr. Wilson.
Make that two.
Yes, sir.
Well, I hadn't realized
You fellows
are so hard to get ahold of.
Height of the season.
Our consul's
been very helpful.
Had to scour the town.
I thought he'd scraped bottom.
That's about
where he found me.
Do you need an advance,
Wilson?
I'll take money anytime.
100?
Well, that'll do very nicely.
You've got it.
Well, see here,
I don't guarantee trophies.
I'm no witch doctor.
I'll give you
an honest hunt, though,
Find the game,
and back you up.
The rest is up to you.
Fair enough?
Fair enough.
Hey, there's one
I don't know.
What is it?
Oh, that's a kudu.
A greater kudu.
Beautiful.
There's waterbuck,
Oryx, eland, sitatunga.
What does it feel like
to have one of those fellas
On the loose
in front of you?
Oh, different feelings,
different times.
No, come on. Tell me.
How does a man feel?
It's wiser
if he doesn't.
What does he do?
Then he stops breathing,
and he starts shooting.
Let's not talk rot.
How about your guns?
What did you bring?
from England.
That's all right.
What else?
the rest of them here.
Oh, good idea.
We got excellent gun shops here.
First, I've got to line up
the boys and equipment.
How long
will that take?
A day or two.
How many in your party?
Just my wife and I.
Oh.
Uh... women
sometimes make trouble.
A woman can muck up
a hunt plenty.
They get bored.
They don't like killing.
They get lazy.
Still they want
their money's worth.
I can handle my wife.
Good. I can handle everything else.
Very good.
Well, here's to good hunting.
Mr. Robert Wilson?
Oh, this is
Mrs. Macomber.
Oh. How do you do?
I'm very jealous of you,
Mr. Wilson.
"Mr. Wilson says this.
Mr. Wilson does that."
I hear about nothing
but hunting.
You know, you are quite a success
with Francis, Mr. Wilson.
I hope you don't mind my saying
it gets a little on my nerves.
Well, I'm sorry,
Mrs. Macomber.
Darling, aren't you happy to find such good
