...surprise call girl, Alabama (Patricia Arquette). She may vaguely aspire to be Melanie Griffith, and if Clarence hopes to travel abroad, it is only because he "always wanted to see what TV in other countries looked like"; but this is true romance. The two must marry, run into some mortal trouble (Gary Oldman as a drug dealer, Christopher Walken as a Mafia don) and flee -- with the surprise package of a suitcase full of cocaine -- to Los Angeles.

Septicemia posed a mortal risk, as he had only one kidney (transplanted from his brother years ago after both kidneys failed). But for 10 days he refused to leave Kenya to receive better treatment. Ignoring pleas from friends and family, he decided he had to stay in Nairobi to oversee the receipt of part...
