1 -AFRICA- 2 "A lady from home! Haven't seen a white woman in years." 3 "Don't expect too much. No beauty would come to this desolate hole." 4 "I bet she's an old maid - bow-legged and cross-eyed!" 5 "She's veiled - now I know she's cross-eyed." 6 "You will honor me at dinner?" 7 "It was about five years ago --" 8 "Do you know -- you are the first woman who has dined with me in three years?" 9 "There was the lion facing me -- -- and I with just one cartridge in my magazine -- --" 10 "On he came -- ten -- nine -- eight paces --" 11 "Three years away from the world -- -- a man almost forgets there are women like you --" 12 "I say, am I going to kill this lion or not?" 13 "Must you kill him again, Daddy?" 14 "Nothing but desert and burning sun. How do you endure it?" 15 "I hadn't minded it so much -- until now." 16 "Can't you join us on our hunt? I am sure father would be delighted." 17 "I could arrange it -- -- if you would be delighted." 18 "Your father plays well." 19 "Shall I ask him to play -- a waltz?" 20 "We're guarded like a fortress." 21 "Would you like to see some diamonds in the rough?" 22 "A half million dollars worth in this one tray." 23 "You can't get away with it." 24 "Oh, yes I can. And I'm going to take you with us -- -- so you won't squeal!" 25 "My foot is on a button that will summon a hundred guards." 26 "My machine gun will mow them down like weeds." 27 "Splendid! Mr. Rand was just showing me how efficient you are!" 28 "Careful - Good-looking!" 29 "Mr. Rand has kindly con- sented to my distributing a small bonus among you." 30 "See you when we return from our hunting trip." 31 Leaving civilization behind, the "hunting party" struck out into the burning wastes of the Calahari Desert -- 32 "Hey, Good-looking -- how are you enjoying the hunting trip?" 33 "As a hostess, you're a pretty slick crook - Lady Diana!" 34 "We've had enough of this blazing desert! Let's get our share of the diamonds -- and duck out through Capetown!" 35 "We're going back to Capetown and take our chance getting out there!" 36 "Suit yourself! If you've got no confidence in me, take your share and go!" 37 "They'll be a whole lot hotter when they find those diamonds are glass!" 38 -MORNING- Ahead, the endless miles of the desert -- behind, the law -- -- 39 "The blacks have deserted!" 40 "Rand knows this desert - he's got to get us out of here! You can make him do it!" 41 "You fool! You've made a mess of things! Now you want to use me!" 42 "Free me -- and I'll free you." 43 "From Steve." 44 "My father?" 45 "I fell for that once!" 46 "Play the game with me - diamonds and youth - - the world is ours!" 47 "Baby untied me!" 48 "Go on -- bite him again!" 49 "Careful what you say to my daughter!" 50 "Daughter my eye!" 51 "A little heat - a little thirst - may bring you to reason." 52 "You can't let him die of thirst! We'd never get out of this place!" 53 "Listen, Good-looking -- why don't you use a little reason?" 54 "Guide us out of here -- -- and we'll split the diamonds with you -- --" 55 "Once out of here -- I may even -- -- drop Steve." 56 "The diamonds are mine - and you'll be mine when I want you." 57 "You're pretty sure of yourself, aren't you?" 58 "Water-hole poisoned - Mike - Harry - dead - !" 59 "Sorry I had to poison the water-hole -- -- couldn't take any chances! No water -- no pursuit!" 60 "You're a murderer! A fiend!" 61 "Never mind that now! There's no water behind us -- you're going to lead us on!" 62 "I'll bargain with you. Let's call a truce until we reach water." 63 "Baby's not in the deal!" 64 Sand -- heat -- thirst! Three human beings struggle on -- -- but the elements laugh at their bargain. 65 "Your turn, Daddy!" 66 "Hello -- Good-looking! How are you enjoying the hunting trip?" 67 "Nothing but sun and sand! Are we ever going to reach water?" 68 "I've drawn the last from the barrel! If you're a good girl, I'll give you a swallow when we camp!" 69 "A water-hole!" 70 "Salt!" 71 "The oxen mustn't get loose! If they drink that water -- they'll die!" 72 "Vultures -- waiting for your bodies! What a meal Steve will make!" 73 "Steve, take your turn - watch these oxen!" 74 "You had a swallow an hour ago!" 75 "Hyenas!" 76 "Don't fall asleep. They might think you dead - and start in on your carcass." 77 "If you don't get me out of here, I'll go crazy -- do you hear?" 78 "1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10." 79 "The diamonds are in here. Take them -- and give me water." 80 "Take me --" 81 "The paint's all peeled off -- there's nothing tempting about you now -- --" 82 "I'll drink -- I will -- so help me!" 83 "It's a slow death -- and the vultures won't wait till life has left your body!" 84 "I'll be your slave -- only give me water -- water!" 85 "Don't go too far!" 86 "We'll both shoot! You get me -- I get you -- and the hyenas get Baby!" 87 "From now on - we walk. And we'll meet death soon enough." 88 "Buck up, you brave diamond thief! There's sure to be water over that hill!" 89 "He'll eat everything but the buckle on your belt!" 90 "Save me! I promise to lead a better life!" 91 "Be merciful! Lend guidance to Rand." 92 "Hey, you old crook! Leave my name out of your prayers!" 93 "Come on, hypocrite! We'll find some water to baptize you!" 94 "Water!" 95 "It's a mirage -- you fool!" 96 "I never want to see another diamond! Give me water -- water!" 97 "WATER!" 98 "Drink -- too fast -- kills -- --" 99 "I got you this far -- you're not going to cheat me now!" 100 "Seeing that you've got the diamonds and the gun, this seems the proper time to talk terms." 101 "Now, the only honorable thing to do is to split the diamonds three ways -- don't you think?" 102 "Let's give ourselves up!" 103 "The diamonds and one prisoner. Not bad! Let's get going!" 104 "I can't lose you now -- my precious jewels!" 105 "Gentlemen, I am afraid I'm lost." 106 "Come right along. We'll show you the way." 107 "Did you get lost? I've been expecting you for two days." 108 "I could have saved you the big circle we made - if you hadn't poisoned the water-hole." 109 "I'd like you to meet - Lord Stonehill!" 110 "Lady Diana -- your daughter, I believe you said." 111 "You dirty crook!" 112 "See that he gets bread and plenty of water!" 113 "Mr. Rand will decide your fate." 114 "You are free -- but you must report to me every day for the rest of your life."
