:18:03
So you don't think I should
call the police?
:18:04
The police? Whatever for?
:18:07
I don't know.
I just have this strange feeling
:18:10
that somebody's trying to kill me.
:18:13
To kill yous? Well, you gonna
call the police and tell them
:18:17
that you have a strange feeling?
:18:19
I mean, they got killings of their own
to worry about, you know?
:18:23
You're probably right.
:18:24
They have killings and executions
and assassinations.
:18:29
I think it's time we made
"murder" a four-letter word.
:18:33
- Would you have a cookie?
- OK.
:18:38
- They're good.
- Aren't they?
:18:40
Well, when you've been an
anthropologist as long as I have,
:18:43
you're working most of the time
in the field.
:18:45
You acquire what my old father
used to call "culinary expertise".
:18:50
I remember in Africa, in Kenya,
:18:55
I was studying the lbutu tribe,
fascinating society,
:18:59
and we could take a leaf from
their book, if they had books.
:19:03
But they did have this wizened
old witch doctor,
:19:06
and his name was Kiyato,
and he was a pretty good cook.
:19:11
Here, I've got a picture of him.
I'll show you.
:19:15
Esme! Get away from those cookies!
Esme, get away!
:19:19
Get away from that! Hear?
:19:22
Oh, poor Esme. You frightened her.
:19:25
Well, she's getting too uppity.
:19:27
She steals me out of
house and home.
:19:29
Don't you, you wicked girl?
Don't you?
:19:32
Where was I? Yes, the lbutu.
:19:35
This is a commendable society.
:19:38
It has severe taboos on murder
and light taboos on sex.
:19:48
Thank you, Mr. Hennesey.
You've been wonderful.
:19:51
Well, you're my favorite tenant.
:19:53
And if anything disturbs you
in the middle of the night,
:19:56
you just scream
:19:57
and I'll be upstairs in a flash,
kicking ass.
