The Rains Came1939

Major Rama Safti:
The world's not as bad as you think, Tom.

Thomas 'Tom' Ransome:
No? Only trying to commit suicide as fast as it knows how.

Major Rama Safti:
I don't agree with you. Here in Ranchipur we're trying to make it a little better.

Thomas 'Tom' Ransome:
The whole world?

Major Rama Safti:
OUR world - India in general, Ranchipur in particular.

Thomas 'Tom' Ransome:
I rather like the old place, just as it is.

Major Rama Safti:
You see it as an artist. I see it as an Indian. My people are crying for help. After centuries of disease and poverty and superstition.
