[Michael is at an evening Pinare ceremony around the fire]

Pinare children:
[Running past Michael] Baboon! Baboon!

Michael:
[To man with a turtle shell hanging from belt] Nice turtle.

Pinare children:
Baboon! Baboon!

Patricia:
The hair on your chest reminds them of a monkey. "Baboon" is your Pinare name.

Michael:
Baboon? That's the best they could come up with?

Patricia:
At first they wanted to go with "Man Who Must Be Smarter Than He Looks."

Michael:
If we get to pick our own names, I'd like to pick this: "Man Who's Extremely Well-Endowed."

Patricia:
Sorry. It's already taken. [Points to man surrounded by women]

[Pinare chief announces to tribe and holds up still smoldering branch from the camp fire to Mimi holds holds onto the branch for a few moments then lets go to cheers from the village]

Michael:
What's he sayin' to them?

Patricia:
The chief is telling the forest that Mimi's no longer a child.

Michael:
Are they finished?

Patricia:
Almost. But to become a tribal leader someday, Mimi has to perform a special task that the chief will give to him. He says he's very proud of Mimi Siku, and, as his father, you should be too.

Michael:
Well, I am very proud of him, considering the fact... that I just found out a couple days ago I had a son, and I'm standing about four feet from a witch doctor. [Witch doctor speaks and Michael hisses at him]

Patricia:
Mimi has the task of bringing fire back from the Statue of Liberty.

Michael:
Guy doesn't kid around, does he?

Mimi:
You promised to take me to New York when I become a man, Baboon.

Michael:
And when you're a man, I will.

Patricia:
In this tribe, he is a man, and he wants to go now?

Michael:
No. Tomorrow we fly to Caracas, we sign the divorce papers. Then I get in a big, steel bird and fly back to New York City.

Mimi:
Yakuza.

Patricia:
Did you promise to take him or not?

Michael:
Maybe. Mimi Siku, I have to be back on the exchange floor. I'm gettin' married. I cannot take you tomorrow.

Patricia:
Here, if you make a promise, you keep it. "Tomorrow," "Can't," "Maybe." These words don't mean anything to Mimi.

Michael:
You brought him down here to live with the Pirates of the Caribbean. Maybe you should have taught him better English.

Patricia:
This is the most important day in your son's life, and he wanted you here to share it with him, and now you're going to humiliate him in front of the whole tribe... by not keeping the first promise you ever made to him?

Mimi:
Baboon, I.. I want to go.

Michael:
Mimi Siku, I am.. I'm very sorry.

Mimi:
You made wakatepe with me. [Mimi turns and walks away past tribe]
