What did they tell you?
:48:04
That the gringos
would take off your face?

:48:06
Yes, they'll take off your face...
:48:09
and use your fat for airplanes.
:48:13
We're not like theJivaros
who shrink heads this small.

:48:21
I told him...
:48:23
I'd rather get out ofhere...
:48:25
before they do that to me.
:48:35
When my friends arrived and saw the camps...
:48:38
they were really afraid.
:48:43
I told them,
"Don't be afraid. "

:48:45
They said,
"They're all just waiting to kill us. "

:48:47
"No, they've been waiting for you. "
:48:50
Atalaina told them...
:48:55
"The doctor will give you an injection
and take your blood...

:49:01
"and put poison in your veins.
:49:06
You'll die by the time
you get back to your village. "

:49:09
They were so afraid.
:49:13
That's not true.
:49:14
And, " Don't eat too much
of what they offer.

:49:17
"They give you this much.
Don't eat it all...

:49:19
because they'll fatten you up
to kill you. "

:49:21
Eating pork fattens you up.
:49:24
Not at all.
:49:37
This scene is the first real contact
between Fitzcarraldo and the natives.

:49:41
Afterwards, the Indians agree to pull
Fitzcarraldo's ship over the hill.

:49:45
In Herzog's screenplay,
they think he's some kind of white god...

:49:49
a kindred spirit who believes,
as Herzog puts it...

:49:53
that everyday life is only an illusion...
:49:55
behind which lies the reality of dreams.
:49:59
Okay.
