01:01My word, I say, operator, it's bottoms up.

01:09After months of careful preparation, I set forth for the dark continent

01:14after bidding my loving wife a fond farewell.

01:18You're not much good around here anyway.

01:20All you do is talk, talk, talk, bring home a lot of cannibals and French-German people.

01:23I don't have much good out of you anyway, so you can go to your African jungle and don't come back.

01:27Er, er, er, wrong scene.

01:29Er, er, er, the most luxurious liner was none too good for our expedition.

01:35We left our dear homeland behind amid the cheers and well-wishes of our many, many friends.

01:43For days, we leisurely cruised the bounding main.

01:47This map will clearly illustrate the direct route we followed.

01:53My word!

01:55Flash!

02:03For, er, onward and onward we sailed until suddenly before us appeared Africa.

02:17Soon we found ourselves far from civilization,

02:20deep in a vast, trackless wasteland, mysterious, far-flouting jungle.

02:26Experiencing unbelievable hardships, struggling and fighting for our very existence,

02:31we plunged ever onward, onward, onward.

02:40People in the grave, if monkeys.

02:44Finally, as we approached our long-sought objective,

02:47we were met by a friendly tribe of savages,

02:50whose chief gave us a greeting of welcome in his curious native tongue.

03:05So, to the African tobacco company.

03:13That night, we were entertained by these carefree savages,

03:18these children of nature.

03:20We were held spellbound as we listened to their primitive songs

03:24and watched their quaint original dances,

03:27all unchanged since the beginning of time.

03:43Translation by Jean Laflute

04:14At last, when the bubble retired,

04:17we found sleep impossible because of the gigantic mosquitoes prevalent in this country.

04:26Ordinary netting was of no avail against these monsters.

04:30It was necessary to cover our windows with very heavy chicken wire.

04:35Translation by Jean Laflute

05:06Should we eat them here or take them down to the swamp?

05:09We'd better eat them here.

05:11If we take them down to the swamp, the big fellas might take them away from us.

05:24At dawning, we were many, many miles from camp,

05:27deep in the jungle bordering the dreaded guerrilla country.

05:32As we approached this ominous land, we suddenly heard a blood-curdling sound.

05:54My word! What's that?

05:56That ain't a gorilla.

05:58It's a wolf!
