• Kelsey : Yesterday, at the wedding reception of the daughter of the newly appointed Minister of tourism, Silas Nda, two local men, Beast Buthelezi and Boetie de Wett, destroyed the event in a racist brawl. You're being charged with malicious damage to property and disrupting the peace. And Minister Nda here intends...

  Minister Mda : To see you both go to jail for a long time!

  Kelsey : Unless you both agree to some therapy.

  Beast Buthelezi : Yes!

  Boetie de Wett : Therapy is good.

  Beast Buthelezi : We need therapy!

  Boetie de Wett : We are real stuff-ups.

  Kelsey : So this is what you're going to do. You are going to walk from here to Gauteng together.

  Beast Buthelezi : What?

  Boetie de Wett : Walk? That's 600 kilometers!

  Minister Mda : It's a penalty for your racist behavior!

  Beast Buthelezi : I am not racist!

  Boetie de Wett : Nor me. I can speak Zulu.

  [subtitled] 

  Boetie de Wett : He's an idiot.

  Beast Buthelezi : And I find white ladies sexy.

  Minister Mda : But the country and the rest of the world believe that you are racist!

  Kelsey : So you are going to walk together to prove that you can get along.

  Beast Buthelezi : We hate each other!

  Boetie de Wett : I hate him.

  Kelsey : Would you rather stay here in jail?

• Kelsey : Okay. The rules. You may not catch a lift on anything. You have to walk. And you must stay away from all the major roads.

  [hands Boetie a map] 

  Kelsey : This is a map of your route. I'm sure you'll find a picturesque. Wallets and cellphones.

  Beast Buthelezi : Huh?

  Kelsey : Mm-hmm.

  Boetie de Wett : [as he and Beast take out their wallets and cellphones]  You want us to do this thing without money?

  Kelsey : Relax. This trip is on me.

  [takes Beast's wallet and cellphone] 

  Kelsey : Thank you.

  [takes Boetie's wallet and cellphone] 

  Kelsey : Thank you.

  [hands Boetie and Beast some money] 

  Kelsey : Here's R200 each.

  Boetie de Wett : R200? 200 bucks won't even fill this tank once! He's obese!

  Minister Mda : Uh-uh! He's Beast!

  Beast Buthelezi : Yeah, Minister!

  Kelsey : You have to cross the finish line together as friends. This is not a race. It's a test.

  Minister Mda : Yes, and my job is on the line.

  Kelsey : And we have got spies out there to make sure that the two of you do not cheat.

  Minister Mda : As Mandela says, "It's a long walk to freedom."

  Beast Buthelezi : What is the price?

  Kelsey : Hmm...

  [considers this very carefully] 

  Boetie de Wett : You.

  Kelsey : Well, you never know your luck. So we'll see you in Johannesburg, Gauteng.

  [walks over to Beast and kisses him on the cheek, then walks over to Boetie and kisses him on the cheek] 

  Kelsey : So good luck. Remember, this isn't a race. Bye! Well, go on.
