Five Weeks in a Balloon

[the balloon is about to land in the middle of the jungle]

Sir Henry Vining:
It's a forest full of trees!

Sir Henry Vining:
[frisking Ahmed] What have you got there?

Ahmed:
Nice medals, huh?

Sir Henry Vining:
British campaign medals. Professor, look at these. China, India... Where did you steal these from?

Ahmed:
What? I don't steal! I am an *honest* slave trader. Oh, yes, little things, they come my way once in a while...

Susan Gale:
I was teaching at the Dodoma mission when he [points at Ahmed] raided us.

Ahmed:
[nonchalantly] Business is business.

Susan Gale:
Trafficking in human lives is everybody's concern. Either you are for it or against it.

Ahmed:
[timidly] I am for it.

Sheik Ageiba:
[to Fergusson] In Timbuktu it is much safer to be a villain than an infidel.
