Shaft in Africa1973
Shaft:
Look, why don't you get rid of that jolly giant over there, so you and I can get down to the finer strokes.
Aleme:
Oziot has guarded me since I was a child. Sometimes I think of him as my living chastity belt.
Shaft:
Damn! Man that size, baby, that's a whole lot of chastity!
Aleme:
I'm still on my first age grade. We call that fareita. No one is permitted to marry while they are in fareita.
Shaft:
What do you do for relaxation?
Aleme:
I enter chala, my second age grade, this February. And even the emir's daughter may have sex and marry, after my clitoradectomy.
Shaft:
Your what?
Aleme:
My clitoradectomy. Female circumcision.
Shaft:
You mean when they cut off your...?
Aleme:
Are you afraid to say the word? My clitoris! Yes! That's what they do in the time of chala.
Shaft:
Hell, no wonder the natives get restless!
Aleme:
Mr. Shaft, the emphasis in our marriage is not about sexual pleasure, but on the rearing of children.
Shaft:
Listen, baby. February is just around the corner. Now how the hell are you gonna know what you are missing unless you give it a little wear and tear before they take it away?
Aleme:
Are you volunteering?
Shaft:
You damn right!
