00:00It is said that when one is in love, a cliff becomes a flowered meadow.
00:14Sikani, Jamila, the two of you have been patient and true.
00:22Then you agree to marry us?
00:25With your parents' blessing.
00:30Then bow with me.
00:35My mind, my heart, is yours.
00:43Now simply pick the day.
00:46But allow me time to prepare myself accordingly.
00:50I always like to dress up a little more special for such occasions.
00:56Come on!
01:00We are from President for Life and Gamma.
01:21We are here for the girl.
01:24By royal order of President for Life and Gamma and constitutional law, the president wishes to honor her as his wife.
01:34Hasn't and Gamma wives enough already?
01:37He may have as many wives as he wants.
01:40That is the law.
01:42A law that he created.
01:45Jamila is to be my wife.
01:46You tell Gamma to find another.
01:49Come.
01:50There will be trouble.
01:57Jamila, no.
01:58You do this because you are weak.
02:09It is the fear that drives you.
02:12The fear of Gamma.
02:14Bring him with us.
02:15No.
02:16No.
02:16Oh, let's go.
02:17It's good.
02:41Hey, Hey.
02:41Hey, Hey.
02:42Hey.
02:43Hey.
02:43Hey, hey, hey.
02:44Hey, hey, hey.
02:45Hey, hey.
03:15Run, Mikani! Run!
03:26No! Leave it now! Kill him!
03:45Run!
03:47Run!
03:49Run!
03:52Run!

09:05Let's go.
09:07Let's go.
09:09Let's go.
09:11Let's go.
09:29No.
09:30I will never let him take her from me.
09:33Jamila is to be my wife.
09:36Mine.
09:37And you would choose to risk throwing away your life
09:40rather than lose her.
09:42Yes.
09:43And risk her life.
09:46And Gama thinks he's doing her an honor.
09:49But Jamila's heart.
09:51Her spirit.
09:53And Gama will crush them.
09:55I will bring her back.
09:57No.
10:00I'll bring her back.
10:03To do this, you must go to another world.
10:07The world of civilized man.
10:09Then I'll need a guide.
10:13Cutter.
10:17Can you tell me where Innerspan News wants to go?
10:19What Innerspan News wants to see?
10:21And I will get you there.
10:23Cutter Unlimited is the cutting edge of accessibility.
10:27We already have a guide.
10:28We're just out getting local color for Cardinal Getty's visit.
10:30You see, I'm a recovering Catholic myself.
10:33An altar boy.
10:35Until I got caught chugging the communion wine.
10:39Uh, aerial shots.
10:40Only Cutter Unlimited can get you airborne.
10:45Africa from the air is a must.
10:47If we decide we need any, we'll give you a call.
10:50All right.
10:51Just who is going to be your tour guide?
10:53Are you sure he knows what's what in Baltaca?
10:57He's president in Gama's tourism minister.
10:59I think he'll do.
11:00Okay.
11:01Has he mentioned the La Mista as a possible shooting site?
11:04Pristine, unexplored, full of the legendary Darachna, the beast of the La Mista?
11:10The beast?
11:12Oh, yeah.
11:13She's semi-clad and killed crazy.
11:16It's got prime time special written all over it.
11:19There's a problem with your truck.
11:23You see what kind of service we provide at Cutter Unlimited?
11:25My partner Mendelssohn can fix anything under the sun.
11:28You just give him the word.
11:30What is it, old buddy?
11:31What's wrong with the truck?
11:33It's got in Gama's soldiers crawling all over it.
11:40What are you doing?
11:46We are looking for someone.
11:47Stand back.
11:49My crew and I have been granted safe passage by Ngama himself.
11:54We are here at his personal invitation.
12:00A dangerous enemy of this state has escaped.
12:03We wanted to ensure your safety.
12:05You're telling Gama that if a dangerous fugitive was within 50 miles of me, I'd be the first to know.
12:11And when I know about it, he'll know about it.
12:14My men will reload your truck.
12:18I'm here at your beck and call.
12:20We cannot let this publicity opportunity pass us by.
12:31You talking to me?
12:33Who else would I be talking to?
12:36Your imaginary friend?
12:37Your imaginary friend?
12:47Who's he?
12:49The dangerous fugitive who's not within 50 miles of here.
12:52Don't tell me anymore.
12:56Just tell me that you're now going to take him anywhere but here.
13:02He stays. We go.
13:04I want you to take me to Ngama.
13:08This day just keeps getting better and better.
13:11I will go with you.
13:13No.
13:14He'll do.
13:16Yet another left hook compliment.
13:18Go hide.
13:20This isn't about you.
13:22This is about the enslavement of young girls.
13:25What if this happened to your sister?
13:27I don't have a sister.
13:29Then what if it happened to the woman you love?
13:30Apparently I've said something that makes you turn pale.
13:34It's the color I always turn.
13:36I'm about to do something dangerous and stupid.
13:43Okay.
13:45In Ngama's court, you and me on a mission.
13:48Won't be easy playing Higgins to your Pygmalion.
13:50No.
13:54We'd have to be a couple.
13:56Of what?
13:58Me in a tux.
14:00You in a cleaning gown.
14:01Gown.
14:07A 007 moment.
14:12So when Ngama's soldiers riddle our bodies with bullets, we'll die in style.
14:16We will not die.
14:19Well, I won't die.
14:22Well, neither of us will die if you trust me and do this my way.
14:26We'll start with a crash course in civilizing you.
14:29Well, let's see.
14:32What do we have here?
14:35Ah.
14:36Welcome to my world.
14:39Wherever that's worn, I am not wearing it.
14:42Uh-uh, uh-uh.
14:43Remember what I said?
14:45For this plan to work.
14:49Well, growling's not allowed.
14:52But the bird's okay.
14:59We have a lot of work to do.
15:00Oh.
15:02Oh, that-that-that's-that.
15:04All right.
15:05Uh-oh, that's-that's good.
15:07That's good.
15:09Find your balance.
15:11Ooh.
15:13Oh, that-that-that's-that.
15:16All right.
15:17Uh-oh, that's-that's good.
15:19That's good.
15:21Find your balance.
15:23Ooh.
15:25Ah!
15:27That's good.
15:28Okay.
15:29No, no, no.
15:30Take your hands down.
15:31Find your balance.
15:32Find your balance.
15:33Now walk.
15:35Come on.
15:36I'm gonna walk.
15:38I said walk.
15:40I got my balance.
15:41Now walk.
15:43All right.
15:45Now try it.
15:46You gotta pucker up, sorta like- sorta like that.
15:48Okay?
15:49No, no, no.
15:50Take your hands down.
15:51Find your balance.
15:52Find your balance.
15:53Now walk.
15:55Come on.
15:56Come on.
15:57Come on.
15:58Come on.
15:59Come on, walk.
16:01I said walk.
16:03Ah!
16:05I got my balance.
16:06Now walk.
16:07All right, I'll try it.
16:08Okay?
16:10Now that shade is called red sex.
16:14Every woman at Ingama's reception's gonna be wearing lipstick.
16:18Men love it.
16:25Would you at least lick them a lot?
16:29I hear your lips, not-not the men.
16:32Also, when someone comes up to talk to you, bite your lower lip.
16:36Why would I do this?
16:38Sexy.
16:39Shows you have a yearning, a hunger.
16:43Men like that.
16:45Then they'll feed me?
16:47Ah.
16:48Also, talk a little, listen much.
16:53Ah, we're gonna need a great dress for you.
16:56A gown.
16:57A gown.
16:58Has to be made of natural fibers.
17:00Anything else won't change with me in animal shape.
17:03Oh, absolutely no changing.
17:06I'm still bringing my regular clothes.
17:08We can hide them nearby.
17:09How is it that you have all these things?
17:10Oh, you know, I guess, leave them behind.
17:14No.
17:15I don't suppose you can sew.
17:17I don't suppose you can sew.
17:18This is a mistake.
17:19I'll go alone.
17:20Oh, fine.
17:21Where you're going isn't the La Mista's.
17:22It's in Gamma's court, where all the men are armed, have a clear shot and shoot to kill.
17:23All right?
17:24Showing a little flesh is gonna get you better results than ripping flesh.
17:26Oh, no.
17:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:28These men wanted to see you.
17:29Harboring fugitives?
17:30I wonder if they're going to get you better results than ripping flesh.
17:31These men wanted to see you.
17:32Harboring fugitives?
17:33I wonder if they're going to get you better results than ripping flesh.
17:34You know?
17:35You know, guests, leave them behind.
17:36No.
17:37I don't suppose you can sew.
17:38I don't suppose you can sew.
17:39This is a mistake.
17:40I'll go alone.
17:41Oh, fine.
17:42Where you're going isn't the La Mista's.
17:43It's in Gamma's court, where all the men are armed, have a clear shot, and shoot to
17:48kill.
17:49All right?
17:50Showing a little flesh is gonna get you better results than ripping flesh.
17:53These men wanted to see you.
17:56Harboring fugitives?
17:57I wonder if there's a reward.
17:59What do you know about fashion?
18:08You're a summer, but you think you're an autumn.
18:11For her.
18:12Are we talking high tea or black tie?
18:15We need it fast.
18:17Soiree.com, 12-hour overnight, anywhere in the world, but it'll cost you.
18:21I also need you to keep Sakani from view.
18:25That'll cost you more.
18:27Then you will bring back my Jamila.
18:30I will.
18:31We'll try.
18:32I will.
18:33Okay.
18:34You better get a move.
18:39That...
18:40Wow.
18:41That...
18:42Wow.
18:43Yeah.
18:44Yeah.
18:45You better get a move.
18:48You better get a move.
18:54That's...
18:59Wow.
19:21Ow!
19:22Wake up, Cinderella.
19:24You got a ball to get to.
19:52Who is that?
19:58Matthew Cutter. He runs a two-bit tour company.
20:00I know who he is. Who is she?
20:02I was gonna ask you that.
20:04Sims. So good to see you again.
20:06Mr. Cutter.
20:08And...
20:10This is my friend, Mona,
20:12who brings you to our fair country.
20:14Fair?
20:16Mona's taking some time off from her modeling duties.
20:18She works the European ramps.
20:20I am most happy you could join us
20:22in this most prestigious state occasion.
20:24I'm most happy to be here.
20:26Maybe we will have a private moment later.
20:32How was that?
20:34Well, that was beautiful.
20:36I don't think I've ever seen him fawn so much.
20:40Fawn?
20:42He's more like a scorpion.
20:44If he could win the Vatican's recognition and approval,
20:46he'd be able to get the trade sanctions against them.
20:48I'll talk to my friend.
20:50Look at him. Lick those boots.
20:52Perhaps he should lick his lips.
20:54I hear men love that.
20:56Touché.
20:58I don't think I've ever seen him fawn so much.
21:00I don't think I've ever seen him fawn so much.
21:02Fawn?
21:04He's more like a scorpion.
21:06If he could win the Vatican's recognition and approval,
21:08he'd be able to get the trade sanctions against them.
21:10I'll talk to my friend.
21:12Look at him lick those boots.
21:14Perhaps he should lick his lips.
21:15Okay.
21:17Ah, thank you.
21:21Thanks.
21:45Shouldn't I be hiding?
21:49You want to hide?
21:51Hide.
21:53I am lost without her.
21:55Ah, the sweet mysteries of love.
21:57I once pined away for an inamorata.
22:01Sheila Johansson of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
22:07Black magic getting those words.
22:09Yes.
22:11Yes.
22:13You understand.
22:15What happened to your love?
22:17She fell for a Culligan man who drove a 58 fit.
22:19What chance did I have?
22:21I cannot let this happen to me.
22:25Fellow countrymen, it is with great pleasure that I perform a dual introduction.
22:35From Vatican City, our most honored guest, Roman Cardinal Rigetti, who has come a long way to see for himself what a wonderful, free and democratic country we have here in Maltaca.
22:49And now, it gives me profound joy to present Jamila, my cherished true lover who has agreed to join me and my Catholic faith in the Holy Sacrament.
23:07Of marriage.
23:21Together, my wife and I will watch over this beautiful country with the care and compassion that the people of Maltaca most richly deserve.
23:35Now, you must go back to the quarters, my love.
23:56Mr. Cutter, where was your friend?
23:59Already looking for another?
24:01The wedding bed isn't even cold?
24:05Find her for me.
24:08Now.
24:10Gladly.
24:31یں.
24:32Gladly.
24:33Let's see.
24:34Of course, she is young.
24:35Younger than any of us.
24:36And very beautiful.
24:38Her face reminds me of my own.
24:39Her face reminds me of my own, but not once did she smile.
24:59This way.
25:02Do you see anything?
25:05She was to be married in her own village.
25:08A village she will never see again, nor her friends or her family.
25:15He gave to her the courtyard chamber, the view we each saw when we were the bride.
25:30Hold!
25:32Don't move.
25:34Come with me.
25:38Apparently we have a problem with Excellency.
25:45Intruders.
25:45Let's go.
25:52Come with me.
25:59Cardinal Rigetti.
26:28It's my great honor and deep pleasure to meet you.
26:32I went to parochial school.
26:34What part of Italy are you from?
26:36Well, actually, I'm an American from Indiana.
26:39I'm on assignment in the Vatican.
26:40Ah.
26:42Indiana, huh?
26:43So, cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame.
26:47Wake up here.
26:48Wake up, her echoes calling her name.
26:51UCLA beat us out of a bowl bed this year.
26:54Run by the Bruins.
26:55I tell you, that one cost me 50 big ones and a bottle of Irish whiskey.
27:06You need to go out.
27:07Meow.
27:11Stupid cat.
27:11What is it that you do here?
27:29I run Cutter Unlimited.
27:30Tours mostly.
27:32I can show you a side of Maltaka that you have seen.
27:35Sure you could.
27:37Oh, nice kitty.
27:38Run along.
27:39Find your litter box.
27:41Hi.
27:43Well, we at Cutter Unlimited like to say...
27:47Is that you?
27:52Is it?
27:53Huh?
28:00Hi.
28:01Run along.
28:02Run along.
28:06Well, bless the beast and the children.
28:09Excuse me.
28:12Excuse me.
28:26Okay.
28:27There better be a damn good reason why...
28:29Meow.
28:30Okay.
28:31All right?
28:33All right.
28:34All right.
28:34All right.
28:34All right.
28:34All right.
28:36All right.
28:38I found Jamila.
28:46Oh.
28:48You know, there's a number of things I can do with a naked woman, but...
28:52Having a conversation is not one of them.
28:55She's being kept in a separate chamber, overlooking the...
29:04Furball.
29:14Overlooking the, uh, the courtyard.
29:17I also spend some time with Ingama's wives.
29:20Well, you do get around, don't you?
29:21Your life here is a misery.
29:24We need to rescue Jamila immediately.
29:26Okay.
29:27You just, uh, wait here while I go, uh, see what things look like out there.
29:34Um, you know, if...
29:37I think you'd look awfully strange without your jacket.
29:43Right.
29:43You just, uh, stay here naked.
29:45I'll be back.
29:47Can I interview you and your friend?
30:16Uh, yeah. She just needs to pull herself together.
30:19Okay, well, just do you then.
30:20Now?
30:21No time like the present.
30:23So, tell me about yourself.
30:25Well, I'll try to make a long story short.
30:29Come with me.
30:39Stay this way.
30:40Stay here.
30:46Stay here.
31:16Stay here.
31:18Don't move.
31:34Then, about five years ago, shortly after my refusal to seek public office,
31:51I found myself in trouble.
31:56Had about enough.
31:58Ah, thank you. Send me a copy.
32:00Oh, and how about those Montana years at Notre Dame?
32:05Uh, 1974 through 78.
32:08Did, uh, he go number one in the draft?
32:10Well, no, he did not.
32:11That's because the good Lord wanted him playing for St. Francisco by the bay.
32:15He did, yeah.
32:22It's no use.
32:23The guard said I will be executed as soon as the cardinal has left.
32:28I fear you will share my fate.
32:31These men have no hearts.
32:35Well, then I guess I'll appeal to something else.
32:39What are you doing?
32:40Showing some flesh.
32:49Hello?
32:51Over here.
32:52I know where she is.
33:11How easy did you get here?
33:37I could not let you do this.
33:39Not without being sure.
33:42Sure that this was what you wanted.
33:45You know what I want.
33:49We must leave.
33:51We must go wherever he cannot find us.
33:54No, Sakani.
33:55In Gamma promised that he would protect you and my family.
33:58But only if I become his wife.
34:00Who can be a wife to this man?
34:04Tell with me what you will.
34:05But you will never escape him.
34:08Tell her what you mean.
34:10Tell her what comes from bargaining with the devil.
34:13Tell her.
34:13When I married, he made many promises.
34:18He told me he would value my beauty forever.
34:21Even then I feared him.
34:24But he told me I could buy my freedom.
34:27He told me this knowing I would never have anything of value.
34:30Not even your beauty.
34:33He took that away as well.
34:36Show her.
34:38Show her the loving handiwork of in Gamma.
34:57Didn't let them find us here.
35:00At least we'll die together.
35:07More bad news, Your Excellency.
35:09As I reported earlier,
35:11we were able to apprehend Mr. Cutter's friend and the fiancée.
35:14And?
35:15They escaped.
35:17But only minutes ago.
35:19I am sure...
35:19Cutting off the palace.
35:21They are not to escape.
35:23And the cardinal is to know nothing of this.
35:25Your Excellency.
35:31You were not to be seen.
35:34I have news for you about Jamoya and her lover.
35:37What do you know of them?
35:39I know they are going to escape.
35:40I know where they are going and when.
35:43Continue.
35:45Gladly.
35:45But for this valuable information,
35:48I ask only that you honor your promise.
35:51What promise?
35:54To grant me my freedom.
35:55You told me if I ever had anything of value...
35:57I have you killed.
36:00Is that freedom enough?
36:03Which do you value more?
36:05Satisfying your vengeance?
36:07Or my death?
36:08The day you die,
36:12you go free.
36:21You look hot.
36:22Perhaps you should find some shade.
36:24No, quite all right.
36:26Not every day I get to spend time with the cardinal.
36:27Nice to see you, thank you.
36:30Oh, I am more than happy to see you.
36:33Be well.
36:38I've got Sakani and Jamila.
36:45I'm getting them out of here.
36:47I need you to create a diversion.
36:49Well, if you're the one wearing sheets,
36:50maybe you should do it.
36:51Just do it.
36:53And get out of here.
36:54You can't expect me on the spur of the moment just...
36:58Of course you can.
37:08Oh my God.
37:13Oh my God.
37:15Oh my God.
37:17If you're cleaning up...
37:19Oh my God.
37:21Oh my God.
37:21Oh my God.
37:24Wonderful.
37:25Yeah.
37:56Diversion by Cutter.
37:58Man of Cutter.
38:10Through the roof.
38:14Over there!
38:26There!
38:50Excellency.
38:52What will you tell the press?
38:54About your new wife.
38:56That she can't swim.
39:02To be a woman in Motaka
39:04is no more than slavery.
39:06A slave who can be forced
39:08to endure all manner
39:10of cruelty.
39:12Even this.
39:20It is said to be
39:22the ancient custom.
39:24A sign of a woman's
39:26devotion.
39:28To never commit adultery.
39:30A barbaric practice.
39:32Steeped in misguided tradition.
39:34But not the tradition for modern Motaka.
39:38It is true.
39:40Nagama has never favored this practice
39:42and has always wanted to end it.
39:44And what better time
39:46for issuing a decree.
39:48As of today.
39:50As of today.
39:52This practice will no longer be honored.
39:54Let those who oppose.
39:56Take up their complaints.
40:04You have made a wise decision,
40:06President Nagama.
40:08Let us hope there are many more
40:10of those yet to come.
40:12My dear.
40:14You must come visit me.
40:16Soon.
40:18I believe you promised me my freedom.
40:28I believe you just took it.
40:30You just took it.
41:00Sheena?
41:10Sheena?
41:12Sheena?
41:14Sheena!
41:16Sheena!
41:18Will Mona do?
41:20Sheena?
41:22Will Mona do?
41:26All right, what's going on?
41:28I heard someone say Jamila and Sakani jumped in a river
41:31and were eaten by crocodiles.
41:33Hm?
41:35Oh!
41:50I convinced the crocodiles that they weren't hungry.
41:53Fortunately, they speak little, but listen much.
41:58Oh.
42:00Now Sakani and Jamila can lead a normal life.
42:03And Gama thinks they're dead.
42:06Everything is as it was.
42:08Ah, yes.
42:10Except...
42:12you've tasted the forbidden fruits of civilization.
42:15Hard to go back once you've experienced it.
42:20Watch me.
42:30How can I not?
42:50Then the facts!
42:52lmao
42:54And the facts!
42:56Hey
