Africa United

Silky Skills clip transcript

FABRICE: No signal

BEATRICE (preying): Thank you for the food and help Fabrice get to the World Cup.

FABRICE: This is crazy, how will we travel or eat or cross borders? You know my parents would kill me if they knew I was even thinking about this.

DUDU: Well next time your parents see you, you will be in a stadium doing your silky skills in front of Mr. and Mrs. Obama. They will be as proud as parrots I'm telling you Fabrice.

FABRICE: Nah (shakes head) I have exams. ENDS HERE. You wouldn't understand.

FOREMAN GEORGE: Hey, I can get you across the first border.

BEATRICE: The nice XXXXX lady is going to help us.

FOREMAN GEORGE: She has no power here. If you stay, you never get out of the Congo.

(MUSIC STARTS)

DUDU: What do you mean?

FOREMAN GEORGE: Men are here to take anyone who looks healthy and strong, they'll make you fight in the war.

FABRICE: But we're safe here.

FOREMAN GEORGE: You can sit here and wait to be taken or you can come with me.

FABRICE: We don't even know you.

FOREMAN GEORGE: I'm Foreman George. (offers his hand to Fabrice that Dudu shakes) Let me show you something.
