I Walked with a Zombie1943

Betsy Connell:
[Betsy Connell and Mr. Holland are walking through the garden together] Why was the maid crying?

Paul Holland:
I'm not sure I can make you understand. [He stops and points at an odd-looking sculpture in the garden]

Paul Holland:
Do you know what this is?

Betsy Connell:
A figure of Saint Sebastian.

Paul Holland:
Yes. But it was once the figurehead of a slave ship. That's where our people came from. From the misery and pain of slavery. For generations they found life a burden. That's why they still weep when a child is born and make merry at a burial... I've told you, Miss Connell: this is a sad place.
