:05:03
Oh! (laughs)
:05:05
With the kids away,
we get used to less noise.
:05:08
- Geoffrey is King-Midas rich. Gold mines.
- 70,000 workers in one gold mine alone.
:05:13
But he's short of cash.
His government won't let its people...
:05:17
- lts white people.
- ..take out any money.
:05:20
It's like taking in a war baby.
:05:22
His call was like a bolt from the blue, as
I had a deal coming up and was short by...
:05:26
- Two million.
- The figure is superfluous.
:05:29
I hate when you use
the word "superfluous".
:05:32
I mean, he needed two million.
We hadn't seen Geoffrey in a long time.
:05:36
While he might not have the price
of dinner, he might have $2,000,000.
:05:40
It's the awful thing about
having truly rich friends.
:05:43
Let's face it, the money does
get in the way. I'll take that one.
:05:47
Having a rich friend is like drowning
and he makes lifeboats.
:05:50
Only your friend gets very touchy if you
say one word - lifeboat. That is two words.
:05:56
We were afraid our friend might say we
were loving him because of his lifeboat.
:06:01
We weren't sucking up. We like Geoffrey.
:06:05
(applause)
:06:06
- Shouldn't we...?
- Not on your life.
:06:09
- It was hardly a lifeboat evening.
- Portentous.
:06:12
But when Geoffrey called
and asked us to take him for dinner,
:06:16
he made a pattern in life's tea leaves,
because who wants to go to banks?
:06:22
Why do you stay in South Africa?
:06:23
One has to stay there
to educate the black workers.
:06:27
We'll know we've been successful
when they kill us.
:06:31
- Planning the revolution to destroy you.
- Putting your life on the line.
:06:35
You don't think of it like that.
I wish you'd visit.
:06:37
Oh, but we'd visit you
and sit in your gorgeous house,
:06:41
planning visits to the townships,
demanding to see the poorest of the poor.
:06:46
"Are you sure they're the worst off?
I mean, we've come all this way."
:06:50
"We don't want to see people just mildly
victimised by apartheid. We want shock."
:06:56
It doesn't seem right sitting on
the East Side talking about revolution.
