Okay.

Thank you.

How about that?

Did you ever expect Africa would be this great?

Thank you. I love it here. I knew you would.

Good. Now turn a little. Yes, turn, turn a little. A little more.

Hold it.

Very good, you see.

Excellent.

Look up.

Wonderful.

Now slowly turn around.

Good. You see, I told you, you'll make a great model.

You already are.

I'm glad we're here.

Yes, it's fun.

Ah, c'est toi, Karine? Jacques est là. Oui, mais il est occupé. Dis-lui que je

veux lui parler.

C'est très important.

Bon, tu attends. Je vais le prévenir.

Hello, Jacques?

Jacques? Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

All

right,

I got it.

That's what I want.

Do it. See you in a half an hour.

Listen.

Forgive me for stopping you.

Are you a model by any chance?

An actress?

No. No?

Good. Whatever you do, it does work.

But you are just a typewriter.

Excuse me, but I have to go. Don't worry.

I'm not a cook.

I'm a writer, photographer, and I need a model.

Actually, not a model, but just a girl like you.

I don't think I can help you.

I've never modeled before.

That doesn't mean you can't do it now.

Thank you, but I don't think so.

Look, it's really very important.

Come to my car for a moment. I want to show you something.

Is that what you had in mind for me? Oh, no. They are from my last assignment.

Look here. Aren't they beautiful?

You see?

You know why I really like photography?

No. Why?

I love it, because it freezes the moment of beauty.

Here, the idea was to blend women with nature. How do you like them? They're

nice, but not for me.

Of course not. Their style is quite the... Wild animals.

Strange and intriguing mood.

I really would want you to take that job. I don't know what to say.

I've never done anything like that.

Say yes, providing you can leave in a week.

Leave? Aren't you going to work here?

Oh, no, it's impossible.

I have to go to Africa.

If I find the right girl.

What?

Africa?

We don't need the boat.

You're right.

Do all your assignments take you this far?

Most of the time.

All these strange places.

Don't you ever get lonely for home?

Never. I feel at home everywhere I go.

But the people are so different.

Naturally they are.

But that's the beauty of it.

Life without contrast would be awfully monotonous.

I can't feel it that way.

That's because you don't respond to what you see.

Life is full of the unexpected.

You have to trust me.

I don't know if I can.

Sometimes I get so frightened.

The only time I can feel good is if I imagine I'm dreaming.

Carrie, you're escaping from reality.

You close your eyes and you spoil all your fun.

Words are easy.

Are they?

Try saying what you are most afraid of.

I bet you can't.

Well, I'm waiting.

I guess words aren't so easy.

Hey, that looks inviting.

Jumbo. Welcome to our lodge.

I never thought I would enjoy it so much.

Oh, thank you for the wonderful dinner.

And now, good night. Sweet dreams.

Don't you think it's too early for a good night?

Let me think.

You have a point there.

I'm not sleeping.

And you?

I'm dreamingly awake.

Come on in.

Be my guest.

Oh, forgive the disorder.

Don't worry.

I like the bohemian style.

Hey, do you think I could be a bohemian?

Of course you could.

You do?

Great.

So do I.

I'm learning to love Africa back.

But not that fast.

Peace.

You see the girl appeals to you you tell her and if she likes you what else

matters I'm not talking about flirtation. I'm talking about love

Honest they leave me first impressions are the best You get to know people you

often become disappointed

I take first emotions any day.

What are you thinking about?

Okay.

I was really thinking about how beautiful it is to live and feel life.

And love.

But what about you, Karin? Were you ever in love?

Okay, little mighty.

That's good. You're getting full of life. Keep it up.

Whee!

Oh!

What? This way.

Ha ha ha!

What do you think you're doing there?

Hey, leave it alone.

Give me my pants, you little thief.

Give it to me. They won't fit you anyway.

Come on, you little devil. Give it to me.

Come on, give it to me.

Give it to me. Come on.

Give it to me.

It may be funny to you, but it's not funny to me.

Now, give it to me.

Come on. Good.

Put it down.

Now.

Give it to me.

You'll get worse than that.

Don't drop them down here right now.

Give it to me, please.

That's it.

Nice monkey.

Good.

That's what I was looking for, the Maasai village.

You're not really going to stop there. I most certainly am.

They could be dangerous, I'm afraid.

Don't. People are people, as long as you treat them well.

I'm trying my best.

This is with compliments of the chief.

That's exactly the idea.

Just stay and be warm with them.

Walk, walk, walk and hold.

And now do it again.

Move, move, move and freeze.

That's it. One small stop.

Both the bride and the groom must be well-placed before they can perform

their wedding ritual.

That looks very professional. Wait, until you see her running away.

Running away?

Yes. According to custom, the girl must pretend that she doesn't want to lose

her virginity.

And this is also to excite her future husband.

Let's go watch the rest.

you

Thank you.

Lovely statue.

Now, do anything you want. Be completely free.

And now, imagine that you're a jungle cat who slowly reckons.

That was good. Look, I've got another idea that may be different. Come here.

Pretend that you are tied up like this to a tree.

No! No!

No! No! No! No! No!

Karin! Karin, come back!

Karin, come back!

It's dangerous!

You may get hurt!

Are you all right? I can't take it anymore.

You're trembling, sir.

What is it?

Let's go.

We rest for a while. Oh, Robert.

I'm scared.

It always comes back to me.

Thank you.

Robert? Yes?

What?

I missed the bus to school that day.

So I accepted a ride from a stranger.

Only, I never made it to the city that day.

He took me to the woods and...

And someone knew it.

They were two.

Two real brutes.

He ran away.

And to protect himself, he tied me to a tree.

I was found there the next day.

Practically mad.

From Africa, wish love.

Thank you.

Robert, have you ever been married?

I was.

Bet it didn't work.

I felt there was a reason why you were against marriage.

There is another reason. Why I don't want to get seriously involved.

It happened a few years back.

I was finishing an assignment in the Orient.

and had to spend a day or two in Hong Kong before returning to the States.

It was my first trip there.

It was such an exciting city that I felt something good would happen.

It did.

Not the way I expected.

Is it hard for a girl to roll like that?

What's your name?

Aling. Aling?

That's pretty.

You speak much English?

Many tourists here, but I speak little.

Do you work here every day?

Yes. Where do you live?

There. You mean on a boat?

I would like to talk to you a little. Do you know Hong Kong well?

Bet you know the ferry boat to Kowloon.

The ferry.

I only one time in Hong Kong with mother.

Great. So meet me at the ferry at five.

And we will visit Hong Kong together.

Thank you. Thank you very much for the ride.

At five o'clock I will see you at the ferry board.

At five, okay?

Hey, I never thought I would find you.

Why didn't you come yesterday? I waited for you.

Okay, never mind.

I still want to talk to you.

How are you?

Father. Hello.

And this?

Brother. How do you do?

Do you speak English?

No? Aline, please tell your families that I came here to ask you to take me

around and show me Aberdeen.

Because you speak English well and the other girls I met here don't. Okay?

I like to listen to Fuji.

Papa wagon touch Ruchi named Ruchi challenge Ruchi

After you

Being with her was delightful.

You can't imagine how charming she was.

She sounds very lovely.

But isn't there more?

I had never met anyone like her.

She was so different from the other women I had known.

Completely innocent and trusting.

Even my hotel room fascinated her.

Sit still, Ellie. Since I'm leaving tomorrow, I'd like to have some pictures

of you.

You don't look Chinese.

You must be Eurasian.

Am I right, Eileen?

Come on, tell me.

No.

Well, make up your mind.

Good. Now, another angle. Turn a little to the right.

You look like a professional model in disguise.

That's fine.

Wait.

There's a softer place for you. Where are we going?

Right. What's wrong? You never get tired?

No.

And you?

You are very beautiful.

Yes, you are.

Can't you keep still?

I like see what you buy.

Alinka, I brought you something, but I don't know if you like it. Try it. Here.

This for me?

I wouldn't wear things like that.

This. What is?

Don't you know?

No. I will show you.

Come here.

You will change in the other room and you will go swimming.

Here? Of course not. There is a pool downstairs.

Go on. I will see you in a moment.

No, please.

Okay. So we'll do it this way.

You're just like a little fish.

I wish you could stay here with me.

Would you like it?

I would.

I know, I know. We have to go back to the beach.

That will hold it.

I just can't understand what happened to the mother.

What do you think it is?

I don't know. It's stalled. I have to see.

I hope it's not.

Don't worry.

Everything will be all right.

You think it's serious?

Looks like the distributor has gone well.

Let it dry off.

You look great when you're concerned.

We'll make more pictures right here.

Do you realize what could have happened?

Nonsense. Happened nothing. We've got just a little way. That's all.

Come on, step up on the car so I can have a better look at you.

I can't find it. There's too much mud.

I should have been more careful. It's okay. We will be all right.

Any luck?

Uh-uh.

Let's try it again. We must find it.

Nothing. It's useless.

We've been looking for two hours.

I guess you're right.

You stay here and rest, and I will see how long this office is.

I'll go with you.

Okay, my bodyguard.

Check the mattresses.

We'll both feel better in the morning.

I was going to run right home after this was over and show everyone what a big

girl I've become.

But it doesn't seem important anymore.

Don't tell me you're going to settle in Africa now.

There may not be any choice.

What are you going to?

I don't know.

It's kind of like a fantasy.

I'd like to run barefoot in the street and meet everyone with a smile.

They have a way of life that I'm not interested in. They insist too much to

take me to their party.

And do you go often?

Never. But that's how it goes, through a friend they initiated.

What the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the...

Whoa.

It doesn't help to be frightened of people if things are going to turn

upside down well They'll turn upside down.

What about you, Robert?

Corinne! Stay where you are.

Don't move.

Keep still. Keep absolutely still.

Robert?

Keep quiet.

Thank you.

There's so many noise you shouldn't be they are just crickets But really curry

you must sleep I don't want to sleep I Don't want

to

We made it! Yes, we made it! It's fantastic!

I told you we would make it!

You will see. You will be happy.

You will.

You will see.

My dirty little monkey.

Come on.

Robert? Yeah?

You know what?

I'm so happy.

So am I.
