Kimani Wa Karanja:
I told you. He will not help you.

Karanja - Father of Kimani:
Our Mathanjuki will purify you. he will drive the curse from your body... and I will be free.

Kimani Wa Karanja:
No!

Karanja - Father of Kimani:
You do not believe in god?

Kimani Wa Karanja:
Yes, yes! But I do not believe in our witchcraft and black magic.

Karanja - Father of Kimani:
When Bwana Jeff struck you...

Kimani Wa Karanja:
He struck a black man to prove that the white man is master, nothing else! You are not in jail because of a curse... but only because we are judged by their laws! And that is the truth. And I must follow where then truth leads me.

Karanja - Father of Kimani:
And where does it lead you?

Kimani Wa Karanja:
To strike back! We're men, not animals.

Karanja - Father of Kimani:
You have much to look forward to my son. You will become headman as I was.

Kimani Wa Karanja:
Is that to be my life? Headman for a white boss? "Yes, bwana. No, bwana. Yes, bwana." This land can serve me too. I want my own land.

Karanja - Father of Kimani:
Then you must earn it.

Kimani Wa Karanja:
I will, Father... I will!
