She: Everything was fine, and then no warning he just like attacked (garbled) business. (Subtitles) He can be such a love and a sweetheart, but then you just don’t know what happened. (pics and subtitles)

He: (garbled)..I want to go and see Kwibi

She: We can’t find him.

He: Find him….Haven’t seen him for five years. I was with Liz (Pict?), head of our gorilla project. Liz was very concerned, we had an attack and lost two people that had come across (him/it).
She: No stranger has been with them for years.

He: But I was really determined to see him. I got in the boat, my brother, and we went up and down the river several hours. I have this call for the gorillas…(calling)…and I was calling him, turned ‘round the corner and there was this magnificent now ten year old gorilla and, they haven’t seen me for five years, but he heard my voice and he came to the edge of the river. (Garbled)..to throw food if it kicks off. And as I (garbled) the top I was a little concerned. But, the moment I heard this deep love, rumbling gurgle, (garbled) that I was okay. He looked in my eyes with such intensity and such love, and it was an incredible experience, and we just sat there together sort of drunk on each other. He embraced me like the long lost friend, and it was just beautiful, and he slowly introduced his wives who came to see me. Do you think we have a sleeping bag? (voice: yeah..garbled words) He wouldn’t let me go. He scrambled off to get some raisins and I managed to clamber back into the boat. To my amazement he then followed the boat all the way back to our camp, and on the other side of the river he then (garbled) his family, directly opposite where I sleep and all night long (garbled). And six o’clock in the morning I got up and went for a swim in the river, and there he appeared on the edge of the river. “Kwibi…you lovely boy, I can see you”. Just shows what a remarkable animal these gorillas are, and what a remarkable animal Kwibi is. I can honestly say this is one of the greatest experiences of my life.
