1:19:20
Herzog is stranded in thejungle
with a 300-ton steamship that won't move...

1:19:24
and time is running out.
1:19:26
He needs money to move the ship,
but no one will invest unless the ship moves first.

1:19:31
Behind his back, some of the actors are talking
about getting out while the getting is good.

1:19:35
Only a few of the cast, crew and Indians
believe in his dream anymore.

1:19:39
Even Herzog is beginning to wonder.
1:19:46
Of course, we are challenging nature itself...
1:19:49
and it hits back.
1:19:51
Itjust hits back. That's all.
And that's grandiose about it.

1:19:55
And we have to- to accept that
it is much stronger than we are.

1:20:00
Kinski always says it's full of...
1:20:03
erotic elements.
1:20:05
I don't see it so much erotic.
1:20:07
I see it more full of obscenity.
1:20:11
It's just-
Nature here is vile and base.

1:20:14
I wouldn't see anything erotical here.
1:20:18
I would see fornication
and asphyxiation...

1:20:21
and choking
and fighting for survival...

1:20:24
and growing and...
1:20:28
just rotting away.
1:20:32
Of course, there's a lot of misery.
1:20:34
But it is the same misery
that is all around us.

1:20:38
The trees here are in misery,
and the birds are in misery.

1:20:43
I don't think they- they sing.
They just screech in pain.
