and the people of Africa had
something together, all on a level,

:16:05
we're all meeting and learning more
about each other,

:16:08
the first assembly among American
Black men and Africans in history

:16:12
and it's a big honour.
:16:14
Plus I gotta whup George!
:16:17
'Got to whup George!'
:16:19
We're gonna rumble in the jungle!
:16:22
Come on, come on.
:16:28
Speak up, boy. Go ahead.
:16:33
- (Laughter)
- Good boy.

:16:35
Get down.
:16:38
- Quiet.
- George?

:16:40
Is this fight against Ali
the toughest of your career?

:16:44
(Man translates into French)
:16:49
Could be, could be. I doubt it.
:16:52
This is Muhammad Ali, September 10th
at New York City airport,

:16:56
en route to Zaire to reclaim
the heavyweight title of the world.

:17:00
Champ, what would you like to say
to the children of the world?

:17:04
I'd like to say, mainly where they
understand English in America,

:17:09
to...live a clean life,
stay off the dope.

:17:13
It's tearing the country up.
:17:16
Also, if they wanna be like me,
I'm going to whup George Foreman,

:17:20
and when they see this
I will have beaten him.

:17:23
Tell them to quit eating
so much candy,

:17:26
I have three rotten teeth
and I had to have one of 'em pulled,

:17:30
I can't chew my food like I should.
:17:32
Eat natural foods
because we must whup Mr Tooth Decay.

:17:36
I got one right there and one there.
:17:39
Ali told us he's going to use part
of his money to build a hospital.

:17:44
Do you intend to use part of your
money for something, a project?

:17:49
He may think
he may have to be in the hospital.

:17:53
I want the man!
:17:55
When I get to Africa we gonna
get it on because we don't get along!

:17:59
I don't like him, he talks too much.
