:16:01
Yes, I learned. You would kill a man.
:16:04
About those shots.
Why is the brother still breathing?
:16:20
Next time, between the eyes.
:16:24
My second question:
How good are you with the stick?
:16:30
Cat named Shaft ain't gonna be bad
with the stick.
:16:33
From childhood,
the men of my tribes used the stick...
:16:36
...to herd cattle, ward off hyenas,
and to fight.
:16:39
If you were awkward with the stick,
it would have taken too long to train you.
:16:44
Thanks for the offer, but I live
in a restricted neighborhood, no hyenas.
:16:50
You want to call me a cab?
:16:51
Third question:
:16:52
Could you survive under desert conditions?
:16:56
I liked what you did,
burying yourself in the sand.
:17:00
We've found our man, Mr. Shaft.
:17:04
You!
:17:06
Okay.
:17:09
I'll walk.
:17:13
I make you a most generous offer.
:17:16
$25,000.
:17:21
Is that American or Hong Kong?
:17:23
$15,000 now, $10,000 later.
:17:28
And what do I have to do?
:17:30
Become a slave.
:17:35
Colonel Gondar, John Shaft.
:17:39
The Colonel is with the Central
Police Authority in Addis Ababa.
:17:43
He's working with us
and with the Organization of African Unity.
:17:46
A good deal of time and money has been
invested in selecting you, Mr. Shaft.
:17:51
And I guess what you did is looked
in the Addis Ababa yellow pages...
:17:55
...and there I was, John Shaft,
investigator. Right?
:17:58
It was somewhat more involved than that.
