03:01 So the beautiful landscapes are devoid of people
01:27 Something fell from the sky
02:57 There were some ridiculous looking animals
00:42 They must be the most contented people in the world
01:31 Where they live
02:50 You gonna look like that forever
00:42 I will take the thing to the end of the earth
01:10 In the deep Kalahari
01:42 It looks like a paradise
04:43 Only 600 miles to the south
00:47 You just have to keep away from the sharp end
00:27 Their language has an idiosyncrasy of its own
01:14 When the family needs meat
02:38 I'm quite normal
02:49 Xi tried the thing out to cure thongs
01:15 Quite unaware that there are other people in the world
00:27 Strange new things sometimes appeared in the sky
00:32 They've got guns
00:24 I collect manure
00:11 The rhino is the self appointed fire prevention officer
00:25 So how did this thing get up the tree
00:30 And why are you so beautiful
00:07 Tomorrow I will take it to the end of the earth and throw it...
00:20 Where is Sam Boga
01:10 Xi saw the ugliest person he'd ever come across
01:04 The most inquisitive creature in Africa is the baboon
00:26 The thing does not belong on the earth
00:09 I'm teaching him how to drive
00:17 They gave him the death sentence
00:08 I don't think I can handle her
00:11 The Reverend's worried
00:26 And hopes you have lots of children
00:45 They're very gentle people
00:14 He smiled at them in greeting
00:07 I said stop playing that bloody game
00:26 Xi saw a very strange looking persona and he greeted him
00:11 He want to know how did those people get in there
00:12 The funny thing was that they couldn't speak
00:21 There was another god
00:09 That's a watape tree
00:07 They're Tswanas
00:18 It left very peculiar tracks
00:08 Talks about a bad thing an evil thing
00:50 Why do I have to work with amateurs
00:06 What the hell did you do that for
00:21 The hairy one said
00:18 There was a peculiar sound
00:06 How come suddenly HE's the big hero
00:15 Two thousand miles to the north in the state of Birani
00:24 Where is your hideout
00:29 I don't want to talk about it
00:14 When I'm in the presence of a lady
00:09 You get sudden urges and come up with warthogs and...
00:18 When you get to the mission
00:15 Was it rough
00:30 When Botswana belonged to the British
00:04 I stopped them sir
00:20 They've always sent us only good things
00:05 Is she down there Yes
00:07 Here This'll put hair on your chest That's all I...
00:27 ANDREW:
A lot of children.
00:19 ANDREW:
One, two, three,
00:09 (crying)
00:31 "Dear Miss Thompson,
00:27 Eesh!
00:10 Get back. Get back. All of you.
00:06 Get back! Get back!
00:25 Get up.
00:19 He says thank you and good-bye
00:23 (honking)
00:11 It's really just
00:32 JACK:
Boy, you had a tough time, huh?
00:26 Kate!
00:09 MAN: Eeeh!
00:30 Maybe they're asleep as well.
00:22 Milady.
00:12 Mm-hmm. He's fast. It'll work.
00:06 MPUDI:
I can't see the little bugger.
00:07 NARRATOR: Xi was beginning to think
he would never find
00:06 Now, look at that.
00:25 Ready?
00:08 ("Rock-a-bye Baby" playing)
00:07 Roll over.
00:07 So Miss Kate said 20 miles is too much.
00:26 Some of those guys are down.
00:08 (speaking native language)
00:12 There she is.
00:09 We got to outflank them.
00:08 What happened?
