  Rouma Boll, le roi Peul : [subtitled version]  What's wrong? Speak!

  Niankoro, le fils : [subtitled version]  By the gods, by the sacred wood, by my ancestors, I swore to help you... to cure your wife. But... my penis betrayed me.

  Rouma Boll, le roi Peul : [subtitled version]  What do you mean?

  [very long pause] 

  Rouma Boll, le roi Peul : Tell the truth!
