:16:01
	Yes, I learned. You would kill a man.
:16:04
	About those shots.
Why is the brother still breathing?
:16:20
	Next time, between the eyes.
:16:24
	My second question:
How good are you with the stick?
:16:30
	Cat named Shaft ain't gonna be bad
with the stick.
:16:33
	From childhood,
the men of my tribes used the stick...
:16:36
	...to herd cattle, ward off hyenas,
and to fight.
:16:39
	If you were awkward with the stick,
it would have taken too long to train you.
:16:44
	Thanks for the offer, but I live
in a restricted neighborhood, no hyenas.
:16:50
	You want to call me a cab?
:16:51
	Third question:
:16:52
	Could you survive under desert conditions?
:16:56
	I liked what you did,
burying yourself in the sand.
:17:00
	We've found our man, Mr. Shaft.
:17:04
	You!
:17:06
	Okay.
:17:09
	I'll walk.
:17:13
	I make you a most generous offer.
:17:16
	$25,000.
:17:21
	Is that American or Hong Kong?
:17:23
	$15,000 now, $10,000 later.
:17:28
	And what do I have to do?
:17:30
	Become a slave.
:17:35
	Colonel Gondar, John Shaft.
:17:39
	The Colonel is with the Central
Police Authority in Addis Ababa.
:17:43
	He's working with us
and with the Organization of African Unity.
:17:46
	A good deal of time and money has been
invested in selecting you, Mr. Shaft.
:17:51
	And I guess what you did is looked
in the Addis Ababa yellow pages...
:17:55
	...and there I was, John Shaft,
investigator. Right?
:17:58
	It was somewhat more involved than that.
