Entry Note To Self..."a lot like people that way"

Denys: [to Karen, whose horse has run away, leaving her at the mercy of an approaching lion] I wouldn't run. If you do, she'll think you're something good to eat. 
Karen Blixen: [staring at lion] Have you - Do you have a gon ? 
Denys: She won't like the smell of you. 
Karen Blixen: Shoot - shoot it. 
Denys: She's had breakfast. 
Karen Blixen: Please shoot her. 
Denys: Well, let's give her a moment. 
Karen Blixen: [as lion comes closer] Oh my god, shoot her ! 
[Lion approaches Karen then wanders off into brush]
Karen Blixen: Just how much closer did you expect to let her come ? 
Denys: A bit. It wanted to see if you'd run. That's how they decide. A lot like people that way. 
Karen Blixen: She almost had me for lunch ! 
Denys: Well, it wasn't her fault, baroness. She's a lion. 
Karen Blixen: Well, it wasn't mine. 
Denys: Doesn't that outfit come with a rifle ? 
Karen Blixen: Ye-ah, uh. 
[looks around]
Karen Blixen: On my saddle. 
Denys: Better keep it with you. Your horse isn't much of a shot.
