into his belly.

Clear out!

Clear out!

I don't do business

with people who don't respect

each other's homes.

You're the one who'll have to clear out,

you old sh*t-bag!

This is my house!

And who owns the ground

underneath it?

- Nobody owns it.

- All the land

next to the river from this shore

to 100 metres inland,

belongs to the state. And in case

you've forgotten,

I am the state around here.

You haven't heard the last of this.

- What's eating that old a**hole?

- You must understand his mentality.

He's a mountain peasant.

These people hold those sort

of thing sacred.

It's his wife. He brought her to the

jungle years ago and she died.

He's never forgiven himself.

He particularly likes Americans.

I guess you're asking me if I'll come

with you on the hunt.

You see?

Talking helps people

see eye to eye.

Enjoy the liver.

Gon-do-la...

Gon-do-la...

What a nice word!

It will make a great name

for my canoe.

The gondola of the Nanogolicia.

You...

- Doctor Dentist...

- Rubicondo Loachamin reporting

for his civic duty, sir.

- I didn't know you were a hunter.

- Yes, I've tangled

with some of the most dangerous

man-eating she-cats in the world.

So I figured you could use

my experience.

I do have some slight medical

knowledge, your Excellency.

Very well. Very well.

- Where are those free delicacies?

- They're not free.

They're paid for by the state.

Why is the state sending geriatrics

into the jungle now, huh?

Even though all these items are

issued to you personally,

they actually belong to the state.

They are

state property in your care,

and they must be signed for

upon issue

and accounted for upon your

return.

If we return.

You are unlikely to. Now is that

understood?

The plan of action

is as follows:

We will make our way to...

to Alkaseltzer's hut carefully,

and...

Hello, Antonio.

And...

And after that we'll er...

we'll see...

It's a good strategy,

your Excellency.

It's a very, very good strategy.

We go to Alkaseltzer's and then

after that we'll see.

That's very good.

I have not yet

formulated any plan. I, I...

I haven't planned for...

We must remain...

prepared for change...

Where the hell do you think

you're going?

I'm moving out.

You can't!

You don't have my permission.

I won't allow it!

Yes, I can.

I'm not a slave.

Where do you intend to go?

To his place.

His place.

Good luck with the hunt,

Excellency.

After her, the jaguar will

be easy.

Shut up, Doctor!

Otherwise you won't be going.

You're going to regret those

boots, Excellency.

They will make walking difficult.

Why don't you try like us?

- Why don't you shut up?

- Okay.

Hey, wake up, Old Man. You won't be
