Oh!

That's it, all right.

James, it'd be a bit awkward, I'm afraid.

No crane of course.

Typical.

Don't worry, Harroward.

Sammy and I are an expert piano movers.

Sammy!

I think there's a place that's possible to straighten.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

I'm going to get in there.

Come on, boys.

Come here, Harroward.

Come here, Harroward.

Now we've got our own railway.

The world's our oyster.

We've been able to get Naira there back in the day.

Join me on the other side.

Turn.

Turn.

Turn.

Turn.

Turn.

Oh!

Mm-mm.

Mm-mm.

What?

I don't even know.

You know what I'm saying?

What?

I don't even know.

What?

What is in the crate box?

It's a piano's mensauve parmour.

What is that?

A piano is a thing that you make a noise.

Music.

It must be a big noise indeed.

No.

Not big, but good.

You make it with your hands, like this.

Will Memsauve Pama be able to make a noise with it?

Yeah, of course.

She does.

Ain't it small hands?

Surely this must be for a giant.

You wait and see me, Drombo.

flush into the wood.

Do I not mock her?

Alright.

GOTTA

I was afraid I'm going to have to ask that damn board of roofs.

One thing he is good at is handling off.

He's not too bad, is he?

Awesome, brother.

I hear he's living with an aperture control.

Trust me, hit it lonely.

I know, but it's a black one.

Oh, look.

Do you play the piano, Oscar?

No.

I'd like to learn.

Good.

It's pretty silly now.

She'll bring your piano out here in the first place,

by opinion.

Let's just would have it.

I'm sure she'll enjoy playing it.

Is always useful to put photographs on.

But?

Well, if it makes her any happier,

I should feel it's been well worthwhile.

Quite frankly, I'm rather worried about that.

I can say this to you, Tilly, because you're

her best friend out here.

I sometimes wonder if it's the right sort of life.

Just coming out here to live is pretty hard on a woman.

Especially someone who's a glider, rather sheltered sort of life.

I sometimes have doubts, even less.

No, do you, really?

Some days I feel quite soft in the head.

Put it down to the vertical rays of the sun.

Huh.

Let it's his latest craze, is to go off on safari with Crawford.

I mean, she's far too delicate, as you implied.

Someone like you.

Quite different.

How about we do her good?

This area in Colbert's enlaborate shot

and loads the country inside out.

David, on a proper day's work in his life.

It's a conceited young puppy, if you ask me.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Sorry.

When they're across, keep them going.

Otherwise, they won't get up.

Yeah.

Hurry.

Hey!

They're not wheel chocks, but...

You're a stone, it's in stones under the wheels.

They're turning my way, they're turning my way to the rear bank.

Welcome to a video game.

They need to put me in a bag of money.

Welcome to a video game.

The first one thing, damn brass.

Silly idiots forgot to ring a wheel chocks,

I told them about three times.

What can you expect?

I suppose God gave them brains,

they'll do anything to avoid using them.

Come on, Sammy, let's stop all this catawalling

and get that crate secure properly again.

I get that drive cut up!

It sounds all right.

Which is just as well as the nearest piano tuner

is probably at least 2,000 miles away.

Oh, darling, you are sweet to have taken such trouble

to get me my silly toy.

Now that my Indian heads have arrived,

I thought we might put one of them up in here.

Well, I know it's rather cold to Newcastle.

I believe that's the 12th time you've said that, Herwood.

And I don't think we want any of your heads in here.

Well, they are rather fine.

Some of them, quite rare.

Took a great deal of getting.

Fine, they may be.

Also rare, but not in here.

Not unless you would like to build me a music room.

For my piano.

Out there.

With a rose garden beyond.

Which we could fill with Italian statues.

Oh, wouldn't that be divine?

And you could have your own trophy, your very own headroom.

Wouldn't that be exciting?

Well, you could sit for hours just smoking your pipe

and drinking whiskey and telling your friends

of your adventures.

And exactly how each...

Let is. Let is.

Do try to be serious.

But I am.

You're putting on your cross-spanew face.

Are we quite mad, darling?

Mad.

I don't think I'm particularly mad.

No.

To be staying out here with your stuffed heads in my piano.

Wouldn't it be much more sensible to sell up and go live somewhere like Yorkshire?

Your house?

I don't think I'm particularly mad.

No.

To be staying out here with your stuffed heads in my piano.

Wouldn't it be much more sensible to sell up and go live somewhere like Yorkshire?

Yorkshire?

Yorkshire?

Well, somewhere.

There must be somewhere safer.

You're perfectly safe here.

I'm here to protect you.

Not that sort of safe.

I mean us.

Um, what...

Look, perhaps they might take you back in the army if we...

I mean, if you pulled a few strings.

That's absolutely out of the question.

You know it is.

Even if we told them that it was all my fault.

But I was the wicked one, not you.

Which is true, really.

What on earth are you doing, Lettuce?

Do you know, I think the servants must be trying to poison the dogs.

Zina wasn't at all well yesterday.

So from now on, I'm doing their food myself.

Here, dogs.

Chime.

Zina.

Lovely demons.

I've had a knock, but on the dressing room door.

I'm going to sleep in there with them for the time being.

Um...

I'm just going to go and change.

Okay.

Twinkle, boppet.

No, they're not for you to eat.

Hello, well, split, how are you?

Hello, Ian.

I'm fine.

You're either busy.

Draniums.

It's a pretty boring job planting them out.

Almost worth some lessons.

Well, you'll certainly have Fendi of them.

Studies latest ideas to keep the bank manager happy.

Apparently, when they all grow up,

you'll take the leaves and put them into something called a still.

Let their use of whiskey in Scotland.

And make something called essential oils,

which is very good for the bank balance.

How's my all day?

Fine.

Come and see her.

Mm.

She looks well.

Ears?

Mm?

Are you really in love with lettuce?

Good Lord.

You impure and little brat.

Are you going to run away with her?

Ears.

Hello, Tilly.

How lovely to see you.

Come and have some tea.

Well, actually, I come as a messenger appointed to invite you to let us his piano warming party.

Oh.

I'm glad you're looking forward to it.

The music?

Nice change.

Storm music?

Of course, this piano business is ridiculous, right?

Come, get over!

Herroid does spoil lettuce.

I'm outrageous.

You'd be like to be spoiled sometimes.

I'm afraid.

You don't do very much.

Don't be silly.

I wouldn't swap you for Herroid.

I'll be all that money.

Well, perhaps.

Poor Herroid.

The trouble is he absolutely worships the ground lettuce treads on.

And she'd run away if she could.

From what?

From Africa.

From Ears' love for her.

From Herl of Ears.

She's dressed.

Herroid ran away with Herroid.

She can't go back home.

Oh, no!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no!

You're looking very beautiful tonight, too.

Tilly, thank you.

Thank you.

I love the way you've done your hair lettuce.

Where I thought I'd better dress like a concert pianist even if I can't play like one.

My fingers feel like sausages and make sounds like the wild asses that stand on Jan Sheets' grave.

Thank you, Mr.

Never mind.

We've got Ian back, and that makes up for everything.

He's going to become a big white hunter and take us all on an exciting safari.

Now that we have the railway, you'll be able to import rich Americans by the doesn't it?

God forbid.

Ian, my dear, please stick to smuggling your pony.

Smuggly? Never.

Now I do admit last trip we had to cross the Emperor's palm with silver before he let us out of his kingdom.

You feel forgiven by saying so.

I think that when an Englishman resorts to bribery in a foreign country, he betrays our name to the world.

I don't see how Ian can be expected to reform the Abyssinian single-handed.

I've never been able to understand the difference between a bribe and a tip.

You're a blagard if you give one and the same if you fail to give the other.

Oh, very confusing.

It's perfectly clear to me.

You're lucky to see things so clearly.

It's no luck about it, my dear, today.

It's probably a matter of how you're brought up.

That's it, what?

Quite enough.

Please bring your drinks with you.

Okay.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Very good.

Very good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Very good.

That brown area.

I'm hoping to see this sort of.

Oh

Are

Good.

Ok, on our way.

Anymore.

What's the matter, darling?

Chang.

Chang.

Chang!

O close, outside.

What?

at the servants and some lamps.

Surely we can turn.

Poor little Chang.

What could have happened to him?

Probably saw something and ran after it.

The boss gave him.

Did you hear what he answered?

He knows Africa.

Poor little Chang.

He's not doing it.

He's been killed.

No, no.

It's a little bit.

I know, Tilly, you've been killed by never that.

I know, I know.

I know, you're not sure.

Throw my help.

I should have known.

People want me.

I mean, you want me open enough.

Drink this.

I'll see.

They were inseparable.

I'm afraid I don't have any good news.

There's no son of the dog.

But one of the boys found a leopard spore.

Just out there.

I'm so very sorry, my dear.

Of course, why don't you get the funny.

That's unfortunate.

Not having much luck.

Will any help you need?

Thank you, Rumbina.

I'll put off my ship to now, Robie, if you want to.

I'll put off my ship to now, Robie, if you like,

Harry, wouldn't help you organize the shoot.

Thank you very much, Crawford.

But I've done a considerable amount of the game shooting,

and I'm quite capable of destroying a leopard on my own land.

Of course.

As you wish.

Well, if you do find that you require any assistance,

good of you.

Let's have a drink.

I'm off now.

Oh, I've got your sandwiches.

Thanks.

Julia.

Take care.

Mm.

Poor lettuce.

I'm afraid she's pretty upset.

Yes.

She does adore those silly little dogs.

The best thing is for her to get another one quickly.

Couldn't we give her one ourselves?

I should think they cost the Earth.

The parmers have been awfully kind to us,

giving us the pony.

I mean, the cost of a single peak puppy won't break us.

The bank won't give me any more.

We'll blow a bit of capital.

Rather late for that, I'm afraid.

Well, then I'll sell something.

A pair of my breeding turkeys.

Now, that would just be silly.

Think of what they'll be worth at Christmas.

Besides, the parmers could afford a dozen peaks if they wanted.

They're terribly well off.

That's not the point, darling.

The point is that lettuce is miserable.

Well, let's not do anything until we've disposed of this down leopard.

Hello, Robin.

Alex, come along.

Give us a hand.

I think...

I'm not having...

No, it's not.

Right.

I lost this boy in the bush almost immediately.

Absolutely.

No sign of the leopard.

Or the dog.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I've been trying to put my mind in the mind of the animal.

There's only options open to him.

I mean, he could be...

Over the mountains by now, or 20 miles the other way, beyond the Atty River.

I don't think he'll be far away from him myself.

You know what it tastes like?

He knows there's another one, Andy.

I agree with you, Alex.

Sammy's been telling me the natives around here, usually trap leopards.

I try.

What are you cunning out of apparently?

I don't like trapping animals.

Oh, no, do I.

Well, I suppose you'd better let them have a try.

I've got to get this damn leopard.

Press number Ral if nothing else.

All right, well, roundabout here seems bigger to spot, is any?

They're tortious!

No, only on wretched hyenas.

None of them are willing to touch it.

Some dance salicy with the stushion.

So I've ordered them to fill the whole thing in.

Why won't anyone touch it?

He is unclean.

Dead men's spirits live in hyenas.

Help them.

How would...

What's the matter?

Yes.

It's the lampert.

Stay there.

You're just too quick for me in the dark.

You're still here all right?

I'll get that broot if I have to sit up every night.

Don't you think it's about time we got in some professional advice?

If you mean Crawford, I don't consider him Ruth.

That damn Dutchman?

He does make his living on tin animals.

I doubt if he'd come.

He's a good guy.

I don't think he likes us any more than we like him.

He's always had a bit of a soft spot for Elizabeth.

Could send her over with a note.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Hey.

Now isn't it nice to see you?

You don't often come riding this way.

Neighbors and strangers.

I've got a note for you.

Come on. Now you're here.

I'll show you some things on my farm.

Come on.

Now you see that man?

Ten foot from those to tail.

That beauty.

Now what a trek.

For three days he let me when he was the one who was first hired.

He got four legs you see, and I got two.

But that done helped him now.

You must be very good at walking you, Sturess.

Man, I walk from bull away when with a knotswipping my hand.

Is that even further than I'm hoping?

You come with me and I show you the nest of the boomb clock.

Come on.

You think I eat little girls?

No, it's just a note. I think you should read it.

Oh, there's plenty of time for that.

You know what's down there inside, I bet.

It's rather important I think. It's about a leopard.

I think you should read it.

I'll tell you what's up.

I'm going to get a little bit of a little bit of a little bit more.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They like dogs like you like chocolate.

Very sweet flesh.

You can tell them I'll be over.

So if you got it, it'll clop next time.

Thank you, Mr. Loose.

They don't want a bigger hole to catch a leopard.

They got brains, leopards.

They put their kill up in the branches of the trees.

But our hangers and jackals can't get it.

Nisao y a tiapo.

Y el guenan.

The leopard will like that.

He is thinking he's getting another one's dinner.

A horrible looking thing.

Not very sporting.

You won't sport or you want your cattle alive.

I don't think the fellow knew what he was doing.

Now he's landed us with a wounded leopard.

Never known this happened before.

Man, he's a curly one this one.

Sorry, Trinkle.

But you've got to stay in there until they get the leopard.

He's wounded and very dangerous.

No.

Stay here.

Go on a parmour, say,

Ha-tutake wa tawangi.

Nam-a-zinni.

Nam-a-zinni!

Morning.

Morning.

Good morning, eh?

Good morning.

We tracked a bag of gown to that fixed patch of the bush.

I decided not to use big pants.

Yes, I told them.

It's too dangerous.

We wounded leopard.

Besides, the country's too thick.

I'll go in and walk him up.

If he tries any nonsense, I've got this.

That should settle his hash.

Now, you three,

gone ahead to cut up his retreat and bag him

in case he tries to break back towards the reserve.

Robin,

your stands down there amongst the thorn trees.

Ruth,

get up on those rocks by the big tree.

Stop him running on.

And Alec,

up on that rock,

overlooking the bush where he's lying.

Got it?

Right.

Hey, Alec.

Landstand view.

Take care.

Ruth.

You hadn't explained what we were going to do.

You go ahead, man.

Finish him.

The skin is yours, it's your land.

The skin should be a nice skin.

Worth a bit of money.

And credit.

And credit.

Everyone says these Dutchmen are born hunters.

And they're interested in how much money they can get to the pout.

But an answer's forthmanship isn't it?

That's for discipline.

You're only a gun.

I'll take this place over by the tree.

That's the last thing I'll ask you to do.

As far as I'm concerned, you're a woman and under my protection.

As a wounded leper out there,

I want you to go back to the house.

Take our split with him.

And I should like to stay and watch.

After all, you can't say we're not adequately protected.

I'll have it your own way.

If Robin is agreeable, which presumably he is.

I'll have it your own way.

I'll have it your own way.

I'll have it your own way.

I'll have it your own way.

Oh my god, it's not the wounded leopard.

Do you mean you're not put your band-out put your hand out?

Ah!

Come on. Go carefully.

Thank you, Rose.

Bit of luck.

You were just in the right place?

Not luck, man.

Where you found one, Shui?

You look for two. The mate.

God, my.

Two of them.

It's pushed Oh my god.

It's pushed Nokkari.

It's pushed Nokkari.

It's pushed Nokkari.

It's pushed Nokkari.

It's pushed Nokkari.

It's pushed Nokkari.

providers.

So beautiful.

I'll keep this Kenya.

Of course my dear fellow.

Worth a bit.

How do I say?

A few rupees.

I'm so beautiful.

I'll keep this Kenya.

Of course my dear fellow.

Worth a bit.

How do I say?

A few rupees.

I'm so beautiful.

How do I say?

A few rupees, baby.

Of course he didn't care two hoots for my life.

All he was after was the skin.

Lucky he saved yours in the process.

I bet he knew there was another leopard there all the time.

I know he did.

Brave one of us would bag it.

Not an ounce of sportsmanship, as I said.

Letis didn't even bother to come.

I should think she was far too worried.

Anyway, I don't think she'd have enjoyed a leopard hunt very much.

She is as keen as master to gone so far with Crawford.

I rather wonder if she cares any more than the Dutchman if I get a moorling.

Don't be silly.

I wouldn't say this to anybody else but you, Tilly.

I sometimes think I'd get more attention if I was a dog.

You'd need it then.

You'd have to be de-ticked every day.

And dogs need constant reassurance that everyone loves them.

Some men need that too.

You're an old sine.

This wounded buffalo comes straight for me.

I'm still on the ground.

No gun, no knife, nothing.

And he was a big one, man, I can tell you.

As he comes, I take his horn.

And look, over his back, 30 feet as I hit the ground, I put up my hand.

And there is my gun.

This gun.

Just in time to get my shot in.

And he's dead right in front of me.

Gosh, that was lucky.

I don't want to be left a widow in the middle of Africa.

You must be careful, Harold.

Very careful.

That's a silly thing to say to a man, isn't it?

They hate being careful.

It betrays a pinky suspicious nature.

The sort of man who would set traps, not for leopards, but perhaps for wives.

Well, I'm sure Harold would never set a wife trap.

He's far too sporty.

And the poor leopards.

Faithful unto death with no vows or anything.

How much nicer animals are than we are once you get to know them?

The leopard wasn't going to be very nice to Harroward.

The leopard is a wicked animal.

When you attack it, it defends itself.

Oh, we're all carnivores, after all.

Here it just seems so close.

God or whoever it is makes leopards like to eat little dogs.

So we kill the leopard.

And the leopard tries to kill us.

All the time it's killing.

We have to become expert killers to survive.

Like Mr. Rus.

Especially Mr. Rus.

We must be especially nice to Mr. Rus, for saving your life.

What are we?

I mean, I've shaken him by the hand and thanked him.

He's busy boring my guests, drinking my best whiskey, by the pint,

and my veranda, and he's got the best pelt.

You know what I mean.

Never trust a buffalo. They're bad.

I'm going. So goodbye.

You come to visit me and see the boom crop, yeah?

Can I come soon?

Any time.

Jump on your pony and come.

Goodbye, Mr. Rus.

Give you a hand with that pelt.

What's a boom crop?

I don't know.

Yes, you do.

Seems to be something Mr. Rus showed you.

He didn't show me because, well, um...

Because what?

When I was rather frightened, someone came.

Well, there's this something he can only show you in private.

Not really. I don't think so.

It's all sounds like a thing.

Not really. I don't think so.

It's all sounds rather strange to me with his reputation.

Unless it's true about the native girl.

It is true.

I think. What do you mean? You think?

What I saw...

Anyway, the boom crop has a nest.

A nest?

That's what Mr. Rus said.

Ellsberg, in future you're not to ride over to Mr. Rus alone.

Well, you sent me last time.

That's not the point.

That's another hen, silly.

Oh.

Don't let's forget this, wretched puppy,

and give them a turkey for Christmas.

No, we promise.

Promise who?

Promise ourselves.

Oh, heaven?

Well, I have.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh.

What a lovely little thing.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you both so much.

I must say he is adorable.

See you, darling.

Look at your new little friend.

Perhaps husband.

No.

Don't you like him?

You're a good lady.

Oh, come on.

You're just like a little birth boy.

That's what I shall call him.

Health boy.

Oh.

Armor says I am no sportsman.

I'm sorry, but you didn't know that.

I'm sure he didn't mean it.

Mark your animals to live.

Sir, he kills them to put their heads up on the wall.

What is this sporting about that?

Sir.

There's an old boar hunter,

and now there's a sportsman and an English rhinoic gentleman.

Mark your animals for rupees, yeah.

But I also respect them.

But Palmer does not respect me.

I respect you, Mr. Ruth.

I respect you.

I respect you.

I respect you.
