gloating to Mark Foster over the tusks of an elephant she's just killed. Paul approaches Foster, telling him that he is also a patient of Dr. Mason who is treating Foster's daughter, and hands him a letter from the doctor, that he'd ask Paul to deliver when in Nairobi. Foster is irritated that Dr. Mason has shared the information about Julie's terminal illness with Paul, who explains that he told Dr. Mason he'd be in Zanzibar, and the doctor asked him to fly to Kenya to see the Fosters.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18a3902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Ben Gazzara and Leslie Nielsen in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Foster is brusque with Paul, but asks him to stay</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Dr. Mason had the idea that Paul might be of help to them. Although apologizing for his initial brusqueness, Foster tells Paul that he needs no help, and that his daughter is unaware of the diagnosis.  There is a somewhat sharp exchange over the advisability of handling the situation in this way, but though Paul clearly expresses his opinion, he is very quiet about it, and bids farewell to Foster. </div> <bR> <div> Regretting how he handled Paul's goodwill mission, Foster asks him to stay on at the safari club as his guest, and Paul accepts the invitation.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 306 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18bb90180.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="280" ALT="Ben Gazzara and Lesley-Ann Warren in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Julie says she'll show Paul the real Africa</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Paul dines with the Fosters, and Julie explains it's her first safari, but unlike her father, she doesn't want to kill anything, just to see the exotic animals. Outside, the native people dance, sing and play drums to entertain the guests at the safari club, and Julie says this is staged for the tourists to live up to their expectations of Africa. Julie says she'll show him the scene, and after dinner Paul and Julie go off for a drink and conversation. They hit it off well, and she says she never enjoyed the drumming as on this night. Later, her father invites Paul to go out on safari into the bush the next day</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 306 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18bc90180.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="280" ALT="Ben Gazzara and Lesley-Ann Warren in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Julie photographs animals from the bumping jeep</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> A convoy of trucks takes them into the bush where they even dine on a white table cloth.  Driving in jeeps, they see many animals, and Julie photographs some, including a rhino that nearly charges them. Then, on foot, the party of Paul, the Fosters and guide O'Connor approaches a lion.  But as Paul is about to shoot, an elephant begins to charge, and Paul kills him. That evening, there is much dancing and drumming, all centering around Paul for the success of his elephant kill, but Julie goes back to her tent early, and her father goes to see if anything is wrong. No, she says.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18a6902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Jean Durand , Ben Gazzara and Keith McConnell in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> O'Connor advises Paul on killing</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Foster talks with Paul in his tent, and says he invited him along to observe how a man who knew he was going to die could act so normally, hoping to learn something. He adds that he's thinking of telling his daughter the awful prognosis, and asks Paul whether he was happy he knew about his own.</div> <bR> <div> Paul says that he is glad to be aware how much time he has left, telling Foster that, in the past, he was only living for the future, like most people do, working for a goal for someday. Had he not known, he would have spent two pointless years working towards something he'd never reach.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 305 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18bd90180.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="280" ALT="Ben Gazzara and Leslie Nielsen in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul explains how he makes a day feel like a month</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> After he learned his diagnosis, Paul says he stopped putting off life until someday.

Monday morning, when I was getting dressed, I had to make myself realize that I'd been in Paris on Friday.  Now that was only three days, but I felt I'd lived for three months."</div> <bR> <div> Foster takes it all in thoughtfully, thanks Paul, and leaves to make his decision.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 306 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18be90180.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="280" ALT="Ben Gazzara, Lesley-Ann Warren, Jean Durand and Leslie Nielsen in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> It's decided that Julie will stay in a safe place</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> The following day is Foster's time to make a kill, and this time, Julie stays at a safe distance with Paul, telling him that she likes the safari, but would rather see things live than die. Having admitted to caring greatly for her father, Julie explains that they hadn't always gotten along, she being a bit of a rebel, or a “non-conforming conformist,” as she puts it. Before her death her mother had lived for being a wife, something Julie thought was square, but now she feels that love, a home and family are the things she really wants herself.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 326 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18a9902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Lesley-Ann Warren, Ben Gazzara, Keith McConnel and Jean Durand in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Julie witnesses her father being mauled by a lion</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> While they are deep in this reflective conversation, suddenly shots and screams are heard.</div> <bR> <div> It is the guide Ahmed shouting for help as Foster is being mauled by the lion he was about to shoot.
