A scene from Jungle 2 Jungle 1997
Mimi

[Michael and Mimi are sitting around fire on beach]

Lizard guts.

Michael

You know, actually, the snake filled me right up.

Mimi

No-no-no-no. I make it for you. [plopping lizard guts into Michael's hand] Tastes good.

Michael

Oh.

Mimi

Now you here, you stay with me all the time?

Michael

I'd like to, Mimi Siku, but I can't.

Mimi

Why?

Michael

I have a whole another life where I live.

Mimi

Another son?

Michael

No. You're the only son I have.

Mimi

I'll teach you to hunt. Tomorrow I've got to go to my village.

Michael

I'm a trader. That's what I do, okay?

Mimi

[holds up necklace]

Thi-- This in your village, yes? Woman who hold fire up sky's butt?

Michael

[laughs boisterously and chuckles in amusement]

I've never-- I've never had her described quite like that. Yes, she's in my village. We call her the Statue of Liberty.

Mimi

When I'm a man, will you take me to Statue of Liberty?

Michael

Sure. Why not? Yeah. When you're a man, I'll take you to the Statue of Liberty.

Mimi

[Holds out hand]

Wakatepe?

Michael

[Reciprocates gesture]

Wakatepe.

Mimi

[lays in the sand]

Sleep time.

Michael

[Michael throws the lizard guts away and washes his hand in the river and shakes them. He sees a tarantula crawling onto Mimi's stomach] [alarmed]

Mimi, don't move! [Mimi wakes up] Don't move! There's a giant spider on you! [tarantula moves off of Mimi] Don't move! What's it doing? [sarcastically] Oh, great! [alarmed] It's now comin' up to me! Damn, it's chasing me. Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to hurt you, but I will. [picks up rock and holds it up] I will crush you like... a bug! [throws rock but misses] Mimi, don't! No, no! I can handle this! Go to the village, save yourself! [walks onto log and tarantula follows] No, no, don't! Back! Gee! Ah--! [he falls into water; Mimi laughs in amusement as Michael emerges from the water; Mimi puts Matika in custom carrier]

Mimi

If you scream, Matika attack. If you're calm, Matika nice. But Kukuve always mean.

Michael

Who's Kukuve? [Mimi points to alligator behind him] Huh? [turns head to see Kukuve snarling while swimming to him; alarmed] AAH! This place is a nightmare! [runs away]
