CUT TO

PATTERSON AND STARLING, staring out.

PATTERSON
You know the most amazing thing
about them?- they only sleep five
minutes a day.
(Starling glances at him-
clearly, he didn't know that)

CUT TO
A FAMILY OF HYENAS. Close by, loping in their scary way.

STARLING
Don't much like them.

PATTERSON
(nods)
The females are bigger- only animal
here like that- have to be or they
wouldn't survive because the males
eat the young.

CUT TO

STARLING studying Patterson. Clearly, he didn't know that, either.

CUT TO

SOME HIPPOS moving along. Starling turns to Patterson.

STARLING
Anything special about them?

PATTERSON
Just that they fart through their
mouths.
(beat)
Must make kissing something of a
gamble.

STARLING
(laughs)
I've lived in Africa a year and I
don't know what you know. How long
have you been here?

PATTERSON
