You had better get up from the table now, my friends. Moses Burumba is very violent.

INDIO

Get out!

AMERICAN

It must have been. . . it must have been. A deranged man, two children and a rebellious boy. There couldn't be two like it. That stinking bundle was Pretoria's child. . .

My dead baby!

HAROLD

Edward's baby! Calm down, Pretoria! Those were just rags.

PRETORIA

Harold! She died of poverty! I'm not responsible for poverty!
