Idi Amin:
You promised to me you would help me build a new Uganda. You swore an oath.

Nicholas Garrigan:
The oath is... erm... it's, it's a doctor's oath of confidentiallity; we all take it. It's got nothing to do with Uganda.

Idi Amin:
Huh? Nothing? Nothing comes from nothing. You have a conscience, I know you do. That is why you came here in the first place. Or are you like all the other British. Just here to f*** and to take away? No? Why else would I trust you with my family? You are like my own son.

Nicholas Garrigan:

Idi Amin:
Your home... is here.
