:28:00
-Pleasure to meet you.
-And Mr. Marlowe.
:28:02
He's a licensed white hunter.
Pete's a crack shot, Marine-trained.
:28:06
Sit down, have a drink, kid.
:28:09
l'll have an iced tea, please.
:28:10
Oh, come on, don't embarrass me.
Give him a beer.
:28:13
l'll have a beer, please.
:28:15
We are interested in getting
a couple of elephants.
:28:19
An elephant is dangerous
because he's such a hearty bugger.
:28:22
To kill him, you have to hit him
in one of two places.
:28:24
Between the eyes or in the heart.
:28:26
Not right between the eyes.
Down about six inches.
:28:37
''There's been silence for hours now.
:28:39
She's sitting on the back, reading the Bible.
He's still working on the engine.
:28:43
Finally he says, 'Miss, l'm sorry
l got drunk. l apologize.
:28:49
What more can a man do
than say he's sorry?'
:28:52
She says, 'lt's not only your drinking
l'm upset about.
:28:56
You promised to go downriver.'
:28:59
He says, 'Miss, listen to me and understand.
:29:02
There's death a dozen times over
down that river.'
:29:05
She says, 'You promised.'
He says, 'l'm taking the promise back!'
:29:10
Silence.
:29:12
She picks up the Bible, starts reading
again, completely ignoring him.
:29:18
Now he can't take the silence any longer.
Finally he says, 'All right, miss. You win...
:29:22
...which l'm sure the crocodiles
will be happy to hear.
:29:25
Down the river we go.'''
:29:32
Well, what do you think, John?
:29:35
Not bad. But you're trying
to complicate it, Pete.
:29:39
Things are always good
if they're left simple.
:29:41
No, not always.
:29:42
Always. That's what creates truly
important art, is simplicity.
:29:47
John, there are no rules to art.
:29:49
There are hundreds of rules.
Hemingway understood that.
:29:52
That's why he always reduced life
to its simplest terms.
:29:55
Whether it's courage,
fear, impotence, death.
