[GUNSHOTS IN DISTANCE]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[ENGINE APPROACHING]

Howdy, you all.

My name is Benjamin Maxwell,

and I represent the Petramco Corporation.

And well, uh...

comprende inglés?

No, huh?

Well, it'’s all, uh, here in these papers.

You see, Petramco now owns this piece of real estate,

and, well, you'’re going to have to clear out.

[SPITS]

Shit...

We'’re going to have to show them a little muscle, boys.

Stop!

English...

I'’m impressed.

I'’m very impressed.

Father sent me to the missionaries

to learn about the white man.

Great.

Honey, you get your people on these trucks.

I have a forest to clear.

This is our home.

You'’ve got five minutes to get on those trucks.

If you stay, you burn with the trees.

Now, get them on the trucks.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Where the hell are they going?

Deep into the forest, to the river.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, sooner or later, the flames will find them.

You know, it'’s a shame to clear this jungle.

It'’s so pretty.

But business is business.

Let'’s go.

Matadores...

matadores de vida.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

No. No...

You must let me go, Father.

I'’m the only one who knows their ways.

Joa...

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Sí?

Can I help you, sir?

[LAUGHS]

He does not speak your language.

Oh, do you have an appointment

with someone?

Please, can you tell me

where I can find the chairman?

You mean Mr. Gaines.

Well, he'’s either in his office here,

or in Tokyo, or New York

or London, but I don'’t see your--

And how do I get to his office?

Up the stairs.

Thank you.

Uh, hold on. Just hold it.

Where do you think you'’re going?

To see the chairman.

So you do have an appointment?

No, but my father sent me.

Well, that'’s nice,

but nobody sees the chairman without an appointment.

I must see the chairman.

I'’m sorry, sweetheart, not without an appointment.

Hey, hold on, Bigfoot.

What'’s in the pack?

Gifts for the chairman.

Oh, God.

Control, three here. Stand by.

There'’s a small situation

developing here in the lobby.

What'’s your name?

Nisa.

Nisa what? What?

What is your last name?I am Nisa.

That is all.

Okay. Hey, Bob.

Can you check the register

for a visitor named Nisa?

Nisa?Yeah. Just Nisa.

Nope, none here!

No one by that name, huh?

Nope. None all day long. I'’m sorry.

I'’m sorry, folks.

I'’m going to have to escort you out of the building,

and I'’ll help you pick up your shells and your toys.

[♪♪]

[RATTLING]

Ah!

[GRUNTING]

Hey, hey, hey, hey! What'’s going on down there?

[GRUNTING]

Relax.

Gene? Gene, you all right?

Take it easy, now.

Be cool. Hey, hey, hey!

Back off. Be cool.

Take it easy. Take it easy.

Just take it easy.

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Well, well, well...

the little girl from the jungle.

You.

Now, hold on, sweetheart,

you'’re trying to go places you'’re not wanted.

Get up. Up, up.

Come on. You okay? You all right?

What the hell is going on here, Cutter?

Officer, hold on to her.

[SHOUTING]

[VOICES ON POLICE RADIO SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[CAR STARTS]

Mm?

Oh, I'’m sorry. Did I wake you?

I thought you were sick.

No, I'’m all right.

Mm...

I'’m Carmen.

I walk by this fountain every morning,

but never before do I see you.

What is your name?I'’m Nisa.

[WHISPERING]: Do you have papers?

[WHISPERING]: I had papers.

The police have them now.

There'’s only one thing

that can straighten out this mess.

Dinero.

Money.

I have no money.

Child, you need help.

I know. I'’ll get you a job.

There is work for me?

Yes, I think I could get you a job.

Besides, you are young and pretty.

They will love you.

I'’m happy to work. What kind of work is it?

WOMAN: Now, you'’ve seen the upstairs bathrooms.

We have five down,

one, of which is yours, of course.

You can do with that as you like,

but I want the others cleaned

from floor to ceiling,

including the toilets,

at least twice a week.

Are you getting all of this?

Oh, I hope so,

because the last Mexican girl we had

was thick as a brick.

I am from Brazil.

Oh, we were there just last winter.

We stayed at the, uh, Plaza del Sol in Rio.

Beautiful place.

Do you know it?

Oh, of course not.

Anyway, these are the downstairs bedrooms,

they are for guests, except this one,

which our good-for-nothing son occupies occasionally.

[SIGHS]

It'’s 3:00, Jason,

in case getting up ever occurred to you?

Out dancing all night.

Whenever he'’s like this, you can skip his room.

How will I know?

Well, if you don'’t see him eating,

it'’s probably safe to assume

he'’s passed out in there.

Now, this is the entertainment...

[♪♪]

[SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[GROWLS]

Oh, God, you startled me.

Oh, hello.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I hired a new maid today.

That'’s good.

I hope she'’s better than the last one.

Well, she seems okay.

Oh, she'’s an absolute darling girl,

and she does an outstanding job,

but, well, I am a bit concerned

about having her live here.

Well, I don'’t want a thief in the house,

if that'’s what you'’re talking about.

Oh, she might pocket loose change

if we leave it out,

but I'’ll watch her for that,

but what worries me is that she seems so...

I don'’t know, different from the other girls we'’ve had.

You know, she only had one small handbag with her.

I'’m afraid she only has one change of clothes.

Babe, I don'’t care what she wears

as long as she does a good job.

I just hope she takes a bath every now and then.

Oh...

Jason, where do you think you'’re going?

Out.

Could you be a little more specific?

Dancing.

Tonight.

Look, are you going to dance with me or not?

Okay, fine, fine. Fine.

[SLAMS PHONE DOWN]

[SIGHS]

Damn.

Why not?

[MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE]

[♪♪]

Come on. You look great.

Mom would die if she saw how you look in her dress.

I do not wish

to make your mother upset, Jason.

My Mom likes being upset. She'’s made it a lifestyle.

What'’s new?

Aren'’t you gonna dance with Ashley

at the Kid Creole audition?

I'’m dancing.

I don'’t know what she'’s doing.

So who'’s your friend?

Guys, this is Nisa.

Nisa, this is Dave and Trish.

She works for my dad.NISA: I'’m a--

What is this, Johnny?

Let'’s sit down.

I like this.

You like this music?

Very much.

What is it called?

I think it'’s called Lambada.

It'’s supposed to be the rage in Europe.

Dance it with me.

Nah, it'’s not really my type of music.

It'’s more East L.A. than Beverly Hills.

Why did you call me a legal secretary?

I'’m sorry if that hurt your feelings.

It just seemed simpler

to tell them what they wanted to hear.

I'’m not a legal secretary.

I know.

I'’m not a maid.

I know.

You'’re something special. Something different.

You do not know me.

No, but I want to know you.

This world seems so far away

from the world of my problems.

Hey, leave your problems at home.

That'’s what I always say. I mean, that'’s where mine are.

Well, my problem is the reason I'’m here.

What do you mean?

Can I trust you, Jason?

Sure. I'’m Mr. Trustworthy.

Tell me, Nisa, maybe I can help.

Jason! Hey, Jason!

You said you weren'’t coming.

So I changed my mind.

So when did they start

letting your kind into this club?

She'’s with me.

No, I'’m with you, and you'’re with me.

Who are you?

Iam his girlfriend.

Is that true, Jason?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Maybe I should go.

Yes, go.

I'’ll go with her.

Jason!

You get back here, Jason Anderson!

Oh, nice move.

I'’m sorry, Nisa.

Jason, come on.

It'’s just a stupid dress.

Shut up!

DAVE: Way to go, Anderson.

Grow up!

Then maybe we can talk.

I don'’t know why you had to get me up at 2:00 in the morning.

I mean, he'’s come in this late before.

Couldn'’t we talk about this tomorrow?

No, Bradley, enough is enough.

It'’s time we had a serious talk with Jason.

I'’m not gonna put up with him

being out dancing night after night--

All right, all right, all right, I hear you.

Here we are, home sweet home.

Where were we? Oh, yeah.

That dance you taught me back there.

The Lambada. Yeah.

Why do they call it the forbidden dance?

Fifty years ago,

the government of Brazil forbid it,

because it was too sexy.

Get out of town.

Really. Yeah?

Really.

It has been fun, but the dress.

Don'’t worry about the dress, all right?

It'’s my mom'’s dress, and she'’s my mom.

All right?

I'’ll handle it. No sweat.

I just can'’t take--

Okay.

Jesus.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

Good evening.

Well, good night.Jason!

We want to talk to you.

Alone.

Sure, Dad.

I won'’t be long.

What'’s up?

What were you doing with that girl?

We went dancing.

Dancing? In my dress?

You let her steal my dress?

Mom, I stole it.

Jason, that dress was just cleaned yesterday.

Well, it'’s still clean, but it--

Clean?

For God'’s sakes!

Her perspiration will have soaked

right into the dress.

BRADLEY: That'’s gonna smell nice.

KATHERINE: Oh, I don'’t even want to think about it.

Look, Jason, you'’ve got to understand something.

This isn'’t about a dress, or even about the girl.

It'’s about--

Nobody saw us, all right?

Jason, it isn'’t proper to date the help.

You just don'’t do that.

They'’re different from us. You can see that.

Your father and I don'’t feel it'’s fair to us

that you spend your time

running in and out of dance clubs.

Mother, I dance.

I like it, and I'’m good at it.

That'’s wonderful, Jason,

but we want you to think about your life.

Okay. All right, I'’ll think about it.

And you'’d better do something about it

or you'’re going to find yourself out on the street

without a cent.

Am I making myself clear?

Yeah.

And we don'’t want you fraternizing

with the hired help.

We went dancing, we didn'’t go to bed.

Well, I should hope not.

There'’s enough of those people in the world

without you fathering any more.

JASON: Will you try to keep it down, all right?

She might hear you, Mom.

I want her to hear me.

And I want her out of my dress.

About the dress...

What about it?

I hope you realize it'’s a Christian Dior original,

and it cost me more

than that maid makes in a year,

so get her out of it.

Okay. Okay, fine, all right?

I'’ll get the damn maid out of your dress.

♪ Good girls like bad boys

She wants to dance.

Welcome to the Xtasy, love.

I'’m Mickey. I run the show.

Hello, Mickey.

Listen, if you'’d like to dance for money,

you should dance for me.

I run a class operation.

You would like to dance, wouldn'’t you?

On stage? Like them?

No. No. You'’d be on the dance floor,

dancing like I was when you came in.

And I can make money?

Listen, Angel, you can make more money than you can count,

and don'’t worry,

I'’m gonna help you take care of it.

I am gonna take good care of you.

So, um, when can you start?

I can start tonight.

Tonight? Is that okay?

Yeah, it'’s okay. It'’s spectacular.

How about, uh, 10 bucks a night?

Bucks?

Yeah, bucks. You know, dollars.

You'’re not from L.A., are you?

No, I'’m from Brazil.

Oh, God.

Well, at least you can dance.

All Brazilians can.

Mm, we'’ve got to get you out of those clothes.

Where'’d you get those, Goodwill?

I'’ve got some great things down here.

[MAN MOANING]

Charlene, go see Eddie.

He'’s got your check for your doctor bill.

Hey!

Uh-uh.

You, my friend, don'’t have the coin.

This one'’s special.

She'’s fresh.

You know what I mean?

Freddie, come on.

Be a good little boy, hmm?

Don'’t even think about it.

Now, I told you, this one'’s special,

and you, my friend, don'’t want to pay.

One way...

or the other.

[SLAPS BUTT]

You see?

Mickey'’s gonna take good care of you.

By the way,

do you have a green card?

Ah, I didn'’t think so.

So, what'’s your name?

Nisa.

Nisa.

Hmm. I like that.

It'’s very sexy.

And this is the perfect dress for a girl named Nisa.

Go ahead, try it on.

Aw, come on, little girl,

you'’re gonna look so pretty in that red.

That'’s it. Now, just relax.

All the men are just gonna love you.

Sweet little face.

Now, I want you to just do it, okay?

That'’s a girl.

Come on, honey, don'’t be shy.

You'’re gonna look so pretty in that red dress.

That sweet little young body.

The gentlemen downstairs

are gonna go wild for you.

That'’s a girl.

Oh, honey, you are beautiful.

Come on.

You want me to help you undress a little bit?

I'’ll report back this afternoon

on that matter, sir.

Just a minute, Maxwell.

Yes, sir.

He'’s standing right here, but go ahead.

Uh-huh.

Thanks.

I hear there was a security incident

with two Brazilian nationals.

Who told you that?

Well, that'’s not your concern.

I told you I wanted no trouble.

It'’s your job to make sure there is no trouble. Clear?

You pay me to take care of the trouble, sir,

and I'’ll take care of it.

Earn your money.

Yes, sir.

Hey that'’s Jason'’s beaner.

Well, she'’s no legal secretary.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, brother, what do you want?

No, I don'’t want to dance with you.

Get back here.

Come back here!Leave me alone!

Come on, queen of the jungle, show me the Lambada.

Come on. Jason doesn'’t know anything.

Leave me alone!

You do it with everyone else, why not me? Come on.

Stop it!

No, not enough.

Dave, that'’s enough, man.

So let me tell you about a rule we have around here.

Never before a girl is ready.

Are you ready, honey?

Never. You see?

Go ahead, sweetheart, get yourself cleaned up.

Now, I want you boys

to have a real good time tonight,

Nisa will be good and ready.

Jason...

Mind if I sit down?

Sit anywhere you like.

Look, I need to apologize

for the other night, okay?

I guess I acted like a real bitch.

It'’s just that seeing you with that other girl

made me really jealous.

What do you want, Ashley?

Well, for one thing,

we need to talk about our audition

for the Kid Creole Show.

You'’ve got to be kidding.

If we dance together like we planned,

then we really have a shot at winning this contest.

I mean, think about it, a spot on national television.

Isn'’t that intense?

Jason, millions of people would be watching us--

I don'’t think I'’m going to be dancing, all right, Ashley?

Was there anything else?

Jason, what is going on?

I mean, we had so many good plans together, right?

I mean, the other night is over, okay?

Hell, let'’s just forget it.

Let'’s just go on with our lives, huh?

I want to make up.

Jason, I have said that I am sorry to you.

Now, what more do you want from me?

Honey, I miss you.

I miss you too.

I just don'’t think it can be the same anymore.

Why, Jason?

Why? Just because you had a little fling

with a street girl?

Forget it. I can forgive you for that.

Ashley, don'’t call her that. She'’s not a street girl.

Yeah? That'’s not what I'’ve heard.

What are you talking about?Nothing.

What are you talking about?Jason, stop it!

If you know anything about Nisa, you'’d better tell me right now.

Stop it, you'’re hurting me!

Spill it.

All right, Jason, you know what?

That little tramp is a professional.

You know what I mean?

If you'’ve got the bucks,

she'’s for sale.

Who told you that?

Your friends, or maybe I should say your ex-friends.

They found your little Chiquita Banana girl

working full-time in a sleazy sex club.

That'’s bullshit.

Yeah?

You don'’t believe me?

Why don'’t you just go ask Dave?

Or Kurt. Or Weed.

After all,

they each had a turn with her.

Where is this place?I don'’t know!

I don'’t hang out in that part of town.

Damn it, Jason!

Jason, so help me

if you go after her, I'’ll...

You are really gonna regret this one.

You are really gonna regret this one.

Forty-three hundred, even.

MICKEY: Mm, not bad.

Yeah, it was a good night.

Yeah.

Hey!

Hey, can'’t you read?

You see this sign?

Go to school, boy.

We'’re closed.

I want Nisa.

Yeah? So does everybody else.

Come back tonight.

Right now we'’re closed.

That'’s too bad. I hear from my friends

she'’s something really special.

Yeah? I know your friends?

Do you know me?

I don'’t know, but I like your face.

Go head onto the dance floor.

I'’ll send her down.

Hey, be nice.

Everything'’s gonna be all right.

Okay? I'’ll help you.

Why do you help now? You did not help before.

Before, I didn'’t know any better.

I didn'’t know myself. I didn'’t know you.

Let me take you out of here.

You do not understand.

Immigration will send me home, and I cannot go back

until I'’m finished here in this country.

Who told you that?

Mickey.

She said if I did not stay,

she would send me home.

Who'’s Mickey? That woman?

She lied to you.

You don'’t have to stay in this place.

Immigration won'’t send you back.

I'’ll help you,

and I have money if you need money.

You don'’t have to sell yourself.

It is you who does not have to sell yourself,

Your friends own you.

Is that now why you are here?

Did they not tell you what I would do for you?

So you see? We'’re not so different.

You do what you must, I do what I must,

and you... will be my first upstairs.

Don'’t, Nisa. Please don'’t do this.

Why not? It'’s only money.

I said no.

I'’m not gonna do this, and neither are you.

I'’m taking you out of here.

We don'’t offer takeout.

I am leaving. Not to come back.

You'’re not going anywhere.

We'’re making too much money off of you.

If you leave, I'’ll call Immigration,

and I will have you deported.

You go right ahead. You call Immigration.

And while you'’re at it,

you put in a call to the vice squad too.

Eddie?

[SIGHS]

I told you to be nice.

Just relax, big fella, all right?

I'’m relaxed.

I mean, can we talk about this?

Now...we can talk.

We can talk.

No!

Get off of him!

Yeah, we talking good now, boy.

Am I talking good enough for you, boy?

Nisa...

Make him stop.

Stop him!

I can'’t. He'’s having too much fun.

We talking good enough yet, punk?

I don'’t think so.

I'’ll do anything, just make him stop.

Still talking, good enough? Huh?

No!

Yeah.

Who is that guy?

He'’s Joa, our tribal shaman.

What your people

sometimes call a witch doctor.

Get out of...

town.

A witch doctor in L.A.?

Hey, that'’s better. Thanks.

I don'’t think he likes me.

He wanted to leave you here.

He thinks you'’re not fit for me.

Ha! You should meet my friends.

What do you think?

I think it'’s not up to him.

[GRUNTS]

Help me up.

Who are you?

I know your name is Nisa, but who and what are you?

Sit down here.

I'’m an Indian, Jason,

from the rain forest of the Amazon.

My father is the king of our tribe.

Then you'’re a--?

You'’re a princess?

Among my people I am.

My father sent us as ambassadors

to the chairman of Petramco.

They must stop killing the trees,

or the sun will eat the air.

You do not believe me.

No, no, I do believe you.

You'’re talking about the hole in the ozone layer,

and this hole is getting bigger, in part,

because of the burning of the rain forest.

The sun willeat the air.

Oh, this is bigger than you know.

This is not only important to your people.

This is important to people everywhere.

And it'’s important to me.

Petramco must be stopped, Jason.

The rain forest is our ancestral home.

We will not permit them to destroy it!

Just hold on, all right?

If you'’re thinking about taking on Petramco,

you'’ve got a real war on your hands.

If war is what it takes, then war it will be.

Jason...

I can'’t believe you'’re buying this.

Princess?

Jason, she will say anything she can

to get you away from me.

Honey, she'’s a maid.

Ashley, you are so beautiful...

and so common,

and such a bigot.

Jason--

Excuse me.

Jason, she'’s lying to you.

Jason, this is absolutely crazy!

Jason, why are you doing this?

I need you.

Okay, princess.

You want a war? You got one.

And if the destruction of the rain forest

continues at this rate,

pretty soon this planet won'’t be fit to live on!

You'’re being overly dramatic, son.

No, I'’m not.

It'’s the truth,

and Petramco had Benjamin Maxwell

run these people out of their land at gunpoint.

But if Petramco owns the property, I don'’t see any reason

why they can'’t do whatever they want with it, right?

Well, they sure as hell didn'’t buy it from Nisa'’s people,

and just because some scrap of paper says they own it,

does it give them the right

to round people up like cattle?

That'’s wrong, no matter how much money you have.

That'’s why we need your help, Dad.

But are you suggesting that I set up a court hearing

because a servant of mine

wants to shut down one of the world'’s largest

multinational corporations?I'’m not a servant.

Her father'’s an Amazon king.

I don'’t care if her father'’s the King of Siam.

I do not want my son involved

with an Indian princess from the jungle.

You are both so close-minded.

When are you going to stop

going through life with blinders on?

Don'’t talk to your mother like that!

Who is this man? What is he doing out there?

If you must know, Mother,

he'’s a witch doctor, and he saved my life.

Jason, if you need to go to a doctor,

you can go to a real doctor,

not a witch doctor.

Stop him. What'’s he going to do to me?

What is he going to do?No, Joa. no.

Bradley, do something!

It is a gift.

What you may call a peace offering.

He does not understand your language.

He just knows that you are unhappy.

Jason, this has gone on long enough.

Then you'’re not gonna help us, are you, Dad?

KATHERINE: For God'’s sakes, Bradley, do something.

I want these barbarians out of my house.

I want him and this girl to leave here this instant.

BRADLEY: Jason, I'’ve got to tell you something.

If you leave with these people, that'’s it.

You'’re on your own.

No more money, no more credit.

You'’ll get nothing more from us.

Who'’s the barbarian, Mom?

[DOOR SLAMS]

Thank you again for your help, Carmen.

Mi casa es su casa.

It'’s not much, but it'’s home.

Oh, it'’s very nice.

Thanks. I'’m glad for the company.

When you telephoned me,

I put fresh sheets on the bed for you, Jason,

and I think Nisa and I will sleep quite well out here.

I can'’t take your room.

Nonsense. The sofa is too small for you.

Now, what are we going to do about the doctor?

Oh, yes.

He'’s so quiet,

I almost forgot about him.

I guess he'’s the strong silent type.

I, for one, am certainly not going to try

to move him.

Well, then, I think I'’ll hit the sack.

Haven'’t slept much the last couple of days.

Good night.

Good night.

Let me show you.

Right through here, Jason.

Straight down there.

Thanks, Carmen. Good night.

Good night, Jason.

Get some rest.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

Mm, he is such a handsome young man, Nisa.

You must tell me how you came to know him,

unless you prefer not to say...

[WHISPERS] in front of your guardian.

He has sworn an oath of honor.

Besides, he does not speak English.

Carmen? Mm?

Would you think me rude

if I left you to say another good night

to Jason?

I would think you foolish if you did not.

Go ahead.

Your guardian

will keep me company.

You'’re too generous, Carmen.

Thanks, Carmen.

You'’re a good friend.

Hey, that'’s it.

We'’ve got enough to buy Joa'’s plane ticket.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

Enough already.

You have proved yourself to be loyal as a saint

and stubborn as a burro.

Now, you listen to Nisa.

One day, she will be your queen.

This is her decision to make

Now, that'’s more like it.

I'’ll even go to the airport with you.

Thanks, Carmen. Here'’s the money.

I have all the information right here.

I'’ll take care of him.

You have a way with him.

I think he likes you.

Come along, Joa.

Maybe you know your way around the jungle,

but I know L.A., and I know city buses,

and I'’m gonna make sure you don'’t miss your plane.

See you later.

Well, what did he say?

He misses the silence of the jungle.

What'’s wrong?

Joa will tell my father that I will stop Petramco.

I still do not know if I will.

What we need is some leverage,

and I had an idea this morning how we can get some.

Come on, Jason.

We'’ve got to get on that TV show

and nail that guy.

Well, then we have to win the audition.

Come on, let'’s rehearse.

you'’ve done some consulting with my father, Winston.

Well, it looks like you'’ve taken after your mother.

You must be one confused little girl.

Well, hardly.

Now, you'’re still the hired gun for Petramco, aren'’t you?

What do you want?

It seems we have a mutual acquaintance.

A certain Indian princess.

I know an Indian princess?

ASHLEY: Oh, please, save your act for the unwashed.

I know she'’s as big a pain in the ass for Petramco

as she is for me, so...

I thought it'’s about time we do something about her.

Where can I find her?

At this club, Creation.

Jason and Nisa have been rehearsing here

every afternoon.

They'’re preparing a dance audition

for theKid Creole Show,

and if they make the audition, they'’re on national TV.

I won'’t allow that to happen.

Well, I didn'’t think you would.

We can'’t let them go on TV and preach

anti-American propaganda,

now, can we, Ashley?

[LAUGHING] What are you gonna do to her?

Let'’s just say

I wouldn'’t do anything you wouldn'’t approve of.

Thank you.

On behalf of Creation

I'’d like to congratulate you and thank you,

Jason and Nisa.

Tomorrow night,

the Kid will be here live in person

to beam them into every home in the United States.

Jason, Nisa.

You guys...

You guys were great. You were definitely the best.

What do you guys want?

Oh, come on, come on, take it easy. We come in peace.

I don'’t blame you for being pissed,

but we really just wanted

to say congratulations, so...

KURT: You two were the best out there.

WEED: Definitely. You guys were definitely the best.

And I also wanted to say I'’m sorry about the other night.

KURT: Yeah, I'’m sorry too, Nisa.

I acted like a real jerk, and there'’s no excuse for it,

but I am sorry, Nisa, if that means anything.

Well, your pain was bigger than mine.

I knew you had it in you.

I wasn'’t so sure.

Oh, come on, guys,

let'’s not get all teary-eyed.

What about you? Aren'’t you sorry?

Who, me?

Yeah, you were there too.

That wasn'’t me, man. That was my evil twin.

How about a toast?

Yeah.All right.

Woo! Jason, Nisa.

No. No?

We'’ll pass.

You guys aren'’t gonna have a drink with us?

No, thanks. We'’ve got to do this again tomorrow night.

Besides, I'’m driving.

Jason, take it with you.

All right.

Later, guys.

Salut.You two take care.

You take good care

What did I say?

That'’s the idea.

I could have used two of you kings

last night on a poker game.

I'’m sorry, Mr. Kid Creole,

but we must return to our home in the jungle at once...

while it still exists.

You live in the jungle?

In the rain forest along the Amazon,

but our home is being destroyed.

That is why we have come to your country.

We need help to stop the destruction.

Nisa and her people

are being driven from their homeland at gunpoint

by the Petramco Corporation.

The same Petramco that we find on the supermarket shelves?

That'’s the one.

We buy products they make every day.

Not me, not anymore.

The rain forest is too important.

I say if Petramco is destroying the rain forest,

well, then...

we should just boycott their ass.
