Uh oh. Karams gotta hair up his butt at the scientist, doesnt trust his true intention finding this root, and wont go. Now hes getting into that old pissing match with the guide who was a slave. Scientist is sticking up for himself & the guide, and giving it as good as hes getting in the argument. Hes showing his books, notes to Karam, reminds me of Dunbars notebook from
Dances With Wolves. Karams impressed by a particular picture from the scientists dream, and is back onboard.
Really fresh to have a bigoted shaman who is ornery, such is real life compared to movies.
(This is based on true events)
Ah ha! Karamakate says he had the exact same dream as the scientist. He wants to have them both take
something together.
I feel like Im about to see a smartened up version of a scene from
Altered States (great film). Scientist quickly throws it up, and Karams telling him to drink more
Hm. Morning time, nothing happened.
Ooo
k, Karams telling him he couldnt see/hear what he did, so hes gonna have to do something else now. Scientist reinforces hes dying from a disease, which is why he wants to find the root. Says the spirits say theres something other than his disease out to kill him, and that the Shaman should protect him.
Ha, the two indians are laughing at the scientists romantic love letter. I guess Amazonian indians are
manly men Wow when something funny happens, Karam really loses his s#t laughing
, too much isolation. Now theyve come to a more structured...
place where theres some wooden structures, kids and a priest. Karams wary. The priest busts out a rifle thinking theyre looking for rubber, damn that rubbber must have been like
Blood Diamond around there back then.
Whhaaaaat?! Karamakate quoted scripture to the priest! Priest was stunned. Thats what broke the ice though, hes taking them in. Looks like an orphanage.
