Really?
437
00:30:26,577 --> 00:30:28,579
Who do you think
is sat in the corner?
438
00:30:29,121 --> 00:30:30,831
I haven't seen her.
439
00:30:30,914 --> 00:30:33,417
That's his wife.
The one crying like a cow.
440
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:35,169
-(MOOING)
-(LAUGHS)
441
00:30:35,252 --> 00:30:41,049
Listen,
her style of crying has a pattern.
442
00:30:42,050 --> 00:30:45,512
She's like, "Freddy, Freddy"!
443
00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:49,975
Where did you get that style from?
444
00:30:50,058 --> 00:30:51,393
Did you download it?
445
00:30:52,311 --> 00:30:53,604
I don't know...
446
00:30:54,479 --> 00:30:56,440
Do you know what surprises me?

(IN ENGLISH
MIXED WITH FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
448
00:30:57,941 --> 00:31:00,611
Why are they mourning Uncle Fred
like he was an angel,
449
00:31:00,694 --> 00:31:02,654
not a pervert?
450
00:31:03,655 --> 00:31:07,326
(IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) This funeral
should have been fast tracked.
451
00:31:07,409 --> 00:31:10,287
Just get the body and bury it.
452
00:31:10,370 --> 00:31:12,581
-We throw it.
-We move on.
453

(GRUNTS IN EXASPERATION)
454
00:31:15,042 --> 00:31:17,252
Anyway, what's this we're drinking?
455
00:31:17,336 --> 00:31:19,963
MAPALO: And now they're saying,
"Cook for the widow."
456
00:31:20,547 --> 00:31:21,757
Me? Nonsense.
457
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,425
Do you even know
how to cook?
458
00:31:23,509 --> 00:31:25,135

-AUNTY SAMPA: Mapalo.
-(CONTINUES KNOCKING)
462
00:31:33,185 --> 00:31:36,146
-AUNTY SAMPA: Musonda, is Mapalo in there?
-MUSONDA: Yes, she is.
463
00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:38,941
AUNTY SAMPA: So she's ignoring me
and not answering.
464
00:31:39,024 --> 00:31:40,567
MUSONDA: I don't know.
465
00:31:40,651 --> 00:31:42,236
AUNTY SAMPA:
What kind of behavior is this?
466
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:43,654
-(BANGING ON DOOR)
-Shh!
467
00:31:44,863 --> 00:31:48,158
AUNTY SAMPA: Mapalo, if I come in there,
it won't be pleasant. You know me.
468
00:31:48,242 --> 00:31:49,576
(NSANSA BURPS)
469
00:31:49,660 --> 00:31:53,830
Musonda, when she comes out,
bring her to me.

(SIGHS)
471
00:32:01,129 --> 00:32:02,756
You two are trouble.
472
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,968
Of all the people here,
they had to choose me.
473
00:32:06,051 --> 00:32:07,511
Where are you going?
474
00:32:08,095 --> 00:32:10,264
I'm going. Someone has to do it.
475
00:32:10,347 --> 00:32:11,932
Shula, come here, come here.
476
00:32:12,933 --> 00:32:15,102
Give us the drink.
477
00:32:15,185 --> 00:32:18,230
You want us to get caught?
And if you tell, we'll fall out.
478
00:32:18,313 --> 00:32:19,356
SHULA: Tell what?
479
00:32:19,439 --> 00:32:23,318
-You owe me.
-No, I don't, angel Shula.
480
00:32:23,402 --> 00:32:26,071
Going to cook for the widow.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
482
00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:45,007
SHULA: Aunty Sampa.
483
00:32:45,716 --> 00:32:47,968
-Yes, Shula.
-Where's the widow?
484
00:32:48,051 --> 00:32:49,761
The widow's been taken up there.
485
00:32:49,845 --> 00:32:51,847
She's been escorted to a room. Why?
486
00:32:51,930 --> 00:32:53,182
I brought her food.
487
00:32:53,974 --> 00:32:55,475
Oh, Mapalo...
488
00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:56,977

CATHERINE: Sampa.
492
00:33:06,195 --> 00:33:08,405
-What's wrong?
-No, no, no.
493
00:33:08,488 --> 00:33:11,825
Listen, I heard everything.
I was there.
494
00:33:11,909 --> 00:33:13,702
I heard everything you said.
495
00:33:13,785 --> 00:33:16,955
-Firstly, what is this?
-She hasn't eaten yet.
496
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:18,207
Whose food is this?
497
00:33:18,290 --> 00:33:20,209
-For the widow.
-So that what?
498
00:33:20,292 --> 00:33:21,293
So she can eat.
499
00:33:21,376 --> 00:33:25,339
Listen carefully, Sampa,
you know what's happening here.
500
00:33:25,422 --> 00:33:28,050
-That's how you speak to me?
-Yes, it is.
501
00:33:28,133 --> 00:33:29,968
Catherine, be respectful.
502
00:33:30,052 --> 00:33:32,638
My sister, you know I respect you.
503
00:33:32,721 --> 00:33:34,473
This food isn't going anywhere.
504
00:33:34,556 --> 00:33:35,933
Wherever you're going,
505
00:33:36,016 --> 00:33:39,520
tell them she won't eat
anything until we bury...
506
00:33:39,603 --> 00:33:42,773
Shut up. I'm not talking to you.
I'm coming for you.
