* GiveMeASword: [[spoiler:Patterson (who is unarmed) and Samuel (who has a double-barreled rifle) climb separate trees to escape the pursuing lion, which then starts climbing after Patterson. Samuel can't shoot it because the lion is shielded by the tree trunk, so he throws the rifle to Patterson. The rifle bounces off a branch and falls to the ground, so Patterson leaps down after it, grabbing the rifle JustInTime to shoot the lion.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: Beaumont is a FIRST CLASS DICKHEAD and takes colossal pride in being one but he does have a couple of points. The first is denying Patterson’s request for Soldiers. Even though Soldiers would definitely make Patterson’s job a whole lot easier but Beaumont points out it would be embarrassing for the British Empire to bring to bring in troops because of problems with the local wildlife and that it would make the British appear weak to their colonial rivals( the French, Germans, Belgians and Italians) who are trying to outdo them in Africa.
** The second point is pointing out the problems with Patterson’s contraption especially after hearing that the Colonel tried it in India and it failed. He’s proven right when the Indian Marksmen who Patterson hires to kill the Lions fails to EVEN WOUND one of them when he walks into the trap. This of course leads to Beaumont bringing in Remington.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Beaumont is a FIRST CLASS dickhead and takes pride in being one but he’s right on two accounts, the first is denying Patterson’s request for Soldiers as it would be embarrassing for the British Empire that they would have to bring in troops just to take care of the local wildlife and that it would make the British appear weak to their colonial rivals( the French, Germans, Belgians and Italians) who want a bigger piece of Africa.
** The second point is showing rightful skepticism about Patterson’s contraption especially after hearing that he tried it in India and it failed. He’s proven right when the Indian Marksmen who Patterson hires fails to EVEN WOUND one of the Lions when he walks into the trap, which leads to him calling in Remington.
