| Plot: | The witty Nonni and the stuck-up city-boy Harry are the only ones to survive a massacre of a gang of poachers among the gamekeeper's family on his lonesome farm in the savanna. Now the ruthless murderers are after them as the only witnesses. Without a means of transportation, the only way to escape is to walk through 2000 kilometers of Kalahari desert with the help of the African bushman Xhabbo. On the months-long journey ahead they not only become good friends against their differences, but also realize that every one of them has strength and skills that are required to survive. |

Quotes
|
Elizabeth Parker: You'll be nuts for it. Turn on the faucet, out comes the water. Koba: Faucet. Bullshit. Elizabeth Parker: Koba, who's been helping you with your English? Koba: Miss Nonnie has. Elizabeth Parker: I'll kill her. Nonnie Parker: [When he refuses to let her hunt poachers with Colonel Theron] Dad, wasn't it you who told me people need to stand up for what they believe in, or nothing's ever gonna change. Paul Parker: People need to sit down and talk, otherwise *people* won't change. Nonnie Parker: I've seen a lot of sitting and talking around here, not much changing. If you were George Washington's father, we'd still be British colonists. Nonnie Parker: Are you saying we should cross the Kalahari? That's impossible. Xhabbo: Wind can do it, we can do it. Xhabbo: Gods are like old people. You think they are deaf, but they are not. Harry Winslow: So, you really think we can make it to Karlstown? Nonnie Parker: If the wind can do it, then we can do it. Harry Winslow: Don't give me that Bushman crap. I want a real answer. Nonnie Parker: You want a real answer? Harry Winslow: ...Let me hear the bushman version again. Harry Winslow: You lied to me. Nonnie Parker: Look I didn't lie to you, all right? Harry Winslow: I said 'how far?' you said 'pretty far.' Nonnie Parker: Well 2,000 kilometers *is* pretty far. Harry Winslow: No, that's like *impossibly* far! That's like walking from New York to Miami! Paul Parker: [on what's to be done regarding the poachers]... I've got the border guard on full alert, and I'll take these audits to the Minister of the Interior first thing in the morning. Col. Mopani Theron: And what will he do? Form another committee? Paul Parker: What would *you* suggest? Shooting every poacher we trip over? Col. Mopani Theron: That's *exactly* what I would suggest. Paul Parker: He who lives by the sword... Col. Mopani Theron: [cutting him off] Stays alive a day longer. [leaves] |
