:18:14
What's the matter, kid?
Go ahead and spit it out.
:18:18
You're sitting around stewing like
a dame who's just been kicked out of bed.
:18:24
You're either crazy...
:18:27
...or the most egocentric, irresponsible
son of a bitch that l've ever met.
:18:35
You're about to blow this whole picture
out of your nose, John.
:18:40
And for what?
:18:43
To commit a crime.
:18:47
To kill one of the rarest,
most noble creatures...
:18:50
...that roams the face
of this crummy earth.
:18:54
And in order for you to commit this crime,
you're willing to forget about all of us...
:19:00
...and let this whole goddamn
thing go down the drain.
:19:08
You're wrong, kid.
:19:11
lt's not a crime to kill an elephant.
lt's bigger than all that.
:19:17
lt's a sin to kill an elephant.
:19:21
Do you understand? lt's a sin.
:19:24
lt's the only sin that you can buy
a license and go out and commit.
:19:29
That's why l want to do it before
l do anything else in this world.
:19:32
Do you understand me?
Of course you don't.
:19:37
How could you?
l don't understand myself.
:19:45
Well, if you don't need me, then l'll
take the plane to London tomorrow.
:19:50
You do that. l've never been one to interfere
with anything a friend of mine wants to do.
