company for us? Francis, darling. I'm delighted.
Now, Mr. Macomber didn't tell me
that he had such a lovely wife.
Francis, my sweet,
that's not at all like you.
Wilson, you don't know
what it does to a man's ego
To be
constantly reminded
That he's married
to a beautiful woman.
Usually what it does
to yours, darling,
Air does to a balloon.
Uh, we were
selecting guns.
Have you,
uh, decided
On the Springfield,
Mr. Macomber?
We recommend it
as an excellent all-Purpose...
Enormous
striking power.
What do you say,
Wilson?
Well,
what are you used to?
You said
you've done some hunting.
Well, yes.
I've done my share at home...
More than my share...
You know, ducks, deer,
some moose.
Darling, why don't you
tell Mr. Wilson
About that time you caught
that enormous shark?
Uh, don't mind my wife, Wilson.
She doesn't always mean
what she says.
Just brush it off.
Brush it off.
And, uh, what will it be
for Mrs. Macomber?
Oh, I'll let
Mr. Wilson decide.
A, uh, mannlicher?
Yes, that's about it.
She'll
never use it.
Oh, Francis is right.
I'm a terrible shot.
I never seem able
to get the target
And the gunsight
together.
Francis, my pet.
There's something you forgot.
Flowers for tonight.
There must be a shop.
Right across the street.
for the consul's wife.
He's been
so sweet to us.
Of course I will, dear.
Now, try this
for comfort.
Is this good
for anything?
Most anything
you'll meet.
Tell me, Mr. Wilson,
How does it make a person feel
to kill something?
Well, I don't know
exactly what you mean.
Women don't usually
like killing.
Well, I'm not
an exception.
I'm just
desperately curious.
You see,
I'm only a woman.
Oh.
You feel a...
admiration for the animal
If you've done it
according to the rules.
According to what rules?
Fair play, sportsmanship...
When you meet an animal,
You try to sort of give him
an equal chance.
What do you call
an equal chance?
You meet him in the open,
on foot.
And if you don't?
Well, you don't
like yourself much.
You mean
it's pretty despicable.
That would be the word.
Isn't there
something more to it?
I read in a book once, to hunt
and to conquer, to kill...
The savagery of it
brings emotions
That are tied in with,
well...
well, what do you think
would make you a woman?
I'm not talking
about myself.
Nothing wrong with Mr. Macomber?
Nothing.
He's a fine man,
a very easygoing fellow.
Yes, Francis is. That's
Well, uh, what's the name
of this book that you read?
I don't remember... One of those
German philosophers.
So you came out here
to learn how to kill?
