The bungalow. CAMPBELL is on his bed in the lotus position. There is a timid knock at the door. The BLACK ACTOR, wearing overalls, stands in the doorway. He knocks a second time before CAMPBELL notices him.

BLACK ACTOR: Baas?

CAMPBELL: Yes?

BLACK ACTOR: Sorry, Baas.

CAMPBELL: What?

BLACK ACTOR: I'm bring that drinks, Baas.

He produces a bottle wrapped in brown paper.

CAMPBELL: For me?

BLACK ACTOR: No, Baas. I must bring it for the other baas.

CAMPBELL: Hey, well.

BLACK ACTOR: Where he is, the other baas?

CAMPBELL shrugs.

CAMPBELL: Wait for him. [He crosses to the BLACK ACTOR.]

BLACK ACTOR: I'm better to stand.

CAMPBELL: What's the big deal? Sit down, man.

The BLACK ACTOR sits reluctantly.

The BLACK ACTOR gets up again and crosses to CAMPBELL.

BLACK ACTOR: Thank you very much, Baas.

CAMPBELL: Hey man, I'm not a baas. My name's Doug.

BLACK ACTOR: Yes, Baas Doug.

CAMPBELL offers him a light, but the BLACK ACTOR has already put the cigarette in his pocket.

CAMPBELL: Do you work for the army?

BLACK ACTOR: Yes. I'm work some garden jobs. Yes.

CAMPBELL: Do you like the army?

BLACK ACTOR: Yes.

CAMPBELL: You're joking.

BLACK ACTOR: Yes.

CAMPBELL: The army's up to shit.

BLACK ACTOR: Yes.

BADENHORST and MOWBRAY enter. MOWBRAY carries a family-size Coke.

MOWBRAY: Hey houtkop [blockhead], what you fucken doing inside? This is not a bladdy kafferhok this.

BLACK ACTOR: I'm bring that drinks, Baas.

MOWBRAY takes the BLACK ACTOR's hat off and throws it on the floor. CAMPBELL retrieves it.

BADENHORST: Come here, John. Why you take so bloody long, you lazy bastard?

BLACK ACTOR: I'm run there and back, Baas.

BADENHORST: I know you people.

BLACK ACTOR: I'm wait there long, long time by the Off Sales.

BADENHORST: You mean you were having a bhebha [fuck] in the bushes with one of your kaffir girls.

BLACK ACTOR: No, Baas. The baas, he was close the Off Sales for one hour. He is telling me to wait.

BADENHORST: You people always got a excuse. Come on, give here. Where's the change? Hurry up, chop, chop. What's this? Why's this short?
