The Emerald Forest

Wanadi:
If I tell a man to do what he does not want to do, I am no longer chief.

Wanadi:
When a dream becomes flesh, trouble is not far behind.

Wanadi:
When I was a boy, the edges of the world was very far away, but it comes closer each year.

Werner:
Can you smell it? The oxygen? 40% of the world's oxygen is produced here in the Amazon.

Bill Markham:
Come on, Uwe, oxygen doesn't smell. It's... the rot, the decay.

Werner:
Also the blossoms.

Bill Markham:
Why did you take my son?

Wanadi:
One day, i was hunting at the Edge of The World when Tomme appeared and he smiled; and even though you were a Termite Child, I had not the heart to send you back to The Dead World.

Tomme:
Why are they called The Termite People?

Wanadi:
They come into The World and chew down all the grandfather trees. Just like termites.

Bill Markham:
Tomme, I want you to come with me. Momme wants you to come home.

Kachiri:
He is finished with mothers. I am his woman now.

Bill Markham:
You stole my son.

Tomme:
Dadee.

Bill Markham:
He took you from me, from Momme.

Tomme:
That was long ago.

Bill Markham:
I just want you to see the home that you came from.

Tomme:
This is my home. It will be the home of my children.

Mapi:
They are tearing the skin off The World! How will she breathe?
