Movie Dialogue Sample
I'll organize a hunting party.
378
00:48:27,737 --> 00:48:30,281
What does he hear, I want to know.
379
00:48:32,617 --> 00:48:36,871
Last night there were many voices.
He say, they speak of you.
380
00:48:37,747 --> 00:48:38,914
What did they say?
381
00:48:46,214 --> 00:48:49,926
They tell this man, that you
will take his heart away.
382
00:48:51,803 --> 00:48:53,638
And what does he suppose that means?
383
00:49:01,146 --> 00:49:03,356
He cannot say.
384
00:49:27,338 --> 00:49:29,048
<i>Dear Isabel...</i>
385
00:49:29,799 --> 00:49:34,299
<i>...even though Mabruki has been a slave
for so long, his mind has remained free.</i>
386
00:49:36,222 --> 00:49:40,351
<i>He asked if we wanted to find
the beginning of the river...</i>
387
00:49:40,435 --> 00:49:42,812
<i>...Why not start at its end,
walk along its shores...</i>
388
00:49:42,896 --> 00:49:45,148
<i>...and see where it begins.</i>
389
00:49:46,024 --> 00:49:47,734
<i>I explained many had tried that way...</i>
390
00:49:47,817 --> 00:49:51,362
<i>...and been swallowed up
by the vast deserts of the Nile.</i>
391
00:49:52,113 --> 00:49:56,325
<i>"Perhaps, your river", he told me,
"Is meant to be mystery."</i>
392
00:49:56,409 --> 00:50:00,909
<i>"You should look for what it can
give you: A bath and a good meal."</i>
393
00:50:17,263 --> 00:50:18,722
Wait.
394
00:50:19,265 --> 00:50:21,725
Sidi, show them cloth.
395
00:50:45,208 --> 00:50:49,708
They can give us some food but
they want these clothes to have names.
396
00:50:50,505 --> 00:50:52,215
Very well.
397
00:50:52,966 --> 00:50:55,218
It's calico. Calico.
398
00:50:56,177 --> 00:50:58,095
This is paisley.
399
00:50:58,763 --> 00:51:01,015
Pai... That's...
400
00:51:01,975 --> 00:51:03,851
...rum... rum punch.
401
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:05,353
Rum punch.
402
00:51:05,436 --> 00:51:09,314
No, now, now, I'm, sorry, Dick,
you're wrong about that one.
403
00:51:10,149 --> 00:51:13,193
That's not rum punch, good sir.
404
00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:17,907
That's malt whiskey.
And this is chocolate pudding.
405
00:51:22,537 --> 00:51:24,997
Very becoming, actually.
406
00:51:28,668 --> 00:51:31,295
- Calico. Calico.
- Yes, calico.
407
00:51:31,379 --> 00:51:33,089
What's this?
408
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,479
Don't be offended.
It's a blessing.
409
00:51:48,563 --> 00:51:50,314
It's all right.
410
00:51:50,398 --> 00:51:52,483
The bargain has been made.
411
00:51:59,532 --> 00:52:01,534
Try some?
412
00:53:57,275 --> 00:53:58,943
Oh, my god!
413
00:54:01,070 --> 00:54:03,530
Sir? What's wrong, sir?
414
00:54:03,614 --> 00:54:07,784
- What is it? John, what is it?
- There's a beetle in my ear!
415
00:54:07,869 --> 00:54:09,120
Sidi, get a candle!
416
00:54:15,877 --> 00:54:17,211
Sidi...
417
00:54:18,254 --> 00:54:20,297
...hold his wrists.
418
00:54:20,381 --> 00:54:21,965
Steady, John.
419
00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:27,304
Steady, John.
420
00:54:27,388 --> 00:54:28,806
Steady!
421
00:54:31,225 --> 00:54:34,102
I'll get you some
Warburg drops for the pain.
422
00:54:36,189 --> 00:54:37,815
Juma.
423
00:54:37,899 --> 00:54:40,318
Hold him. Hold him!
424
00:54:40,401 --> 00:54:41,860
Steady.
425
00:54:47,408 --> 00:54:50,536
Get off!
It isn't working!
426
00:54:50,620 --> 00:54:55,120
That damn thing is eating
its way through my eardrum!
427
00:55:16,145 --> 00:55:17,896
I killed it.
428
00:55:20,107 --> 00:55:23,652
I know I killed it,
I can't hear it anymore.
429
00:55:24,904 --> 00:55:28,866
It is alright, Jack.
You never listen anyway.
430
00:56:36,350 --> 00:56:38,769
<i>For a month after John's face healed...</i>
431
00:56:38,853 --> 00:56:43,353
<i>...every time he sneezed, a strange
squeaky sound emerged from his ear.</i>
432
00:56:43,441 --> 00:56:45,568
<i>This delighted our bearers.</i>
433
00:56:45,651 --> 00:56:50,151
<i>They kept asking him to hold his
nose and make that whistle sound.</i>
434
00:56:51,449 --> 00:56:53,367
<i>John was not amused.</i>
435
00:57:04,128 --> 00:57:06,964
The water is poison!
Don't let them drink!
436
00:57:07,048 --> 00:57:10,092
The water is infected!
You'll kill yourselves!
437
00:57:11,344 --> 00:57:13,596
Hey, you'll kill yourselves!
438
00:57:13,679 --> 00:57:17,224
- Get back! All of you, get back!
- All of you!
439
00:57:18,517 --> 00:57:21,186
Jack, if I get smallpox,
you must leave me behind.
440
00:57:21,270 --> 00:57:23,188
Yes, yes, I will.
441
00:57:24,357 --> 00:57:27,276
You needn't be so quick to agree.
442
00:57:41,707 --> 00:57:43,959
<i>The men are hungry and sick.</i>
443
00:57:45,252 --> 00:57:49,752
<i>We have travelled 178 days
hearing nothing of the lake we seek.</i>
444
00:57:50,466 --> 00:57:53,719
<i>Speke only seems
happy when he is hunting.</i>
445
00:57:53,803 --> 00:57:56,597
<i>Game is scarce and rarely edible.<
