Well, you know what they say about soccer. It's a gentleman's game played by hooligans. On the other hand, rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen.

Linga Moonsamy

Ja, ja, ja, heard that one before. And it wasn't funny the first time.

Jason Tshabalala
[Jason, Mandela's chief of security, is waiting in the security office. There is a knock at the door]

Ah, that must be Jessie with the schedule. Come in, beautiful!

Jason
[The door opens, but it is not Jessie. Instead, four burly Afrikaners enter, led by Captain Etienne Feyder, prompting Jason to instinctively spring to his feet]

What's this?

Mr. Jason Tshabalala?

Jason

That's me. Am I under arrest?

Feyder

Captain Feyder and team reporting for duty, sir.

Jason

What duty?

Feyder

We're the presidential bodyguard. We've been assigned to this office. [reaches into his pocket and removes a booklet] Here are our orders.

Linga Moonsamy
[Jason warily takes it]

You're Special Branch, right? [One of the men nods]

Etienne
[noticing Jason's incredulity]

You'll see that they've been signed.

Jason

Well, I don't care if they've been signed [notices that they've been signed by Mandela. He folds it] Just wait here. [storms off]

Hendrick Booyens
[Linga and Hendrick, Mandela's bodyguards, are waiting for him to go running]

Gee, It's cold, man.

Linga Moonsamy
[Mandela exits his house]

Morning, Madiba

How are you?

Linga Moonsamy

Fine, thanks.

Hendrick Booyens

Morning, sir.

How is your family, Hendrick?

Hendrick Booyens

Top shape, sir. How about yours?

[Mandela stops in his tracks, suddenly weary, and looks at him]

I have a very large family. 42 million. I don't think I'll walk today. [goes back inside]

Linga Moonsamy
[furiously]

We never, never ask him about his family.

Hendrick Booyens

But he asks us about ours all the time!

Linga Moonsamy

Hey, think about it, man. He's separated from his wife, his children. How often do you see them here, huh? He's not a saint, okay? He's a man, with a man's problems. He doesn't need us reminding him about them.
