• Marta : That's enough. Let's stop playing Negroes.

• Marta : The six million Negroes want to throw out the 60,000 whites. We're lucky they're still in trees and have barely lost their tails or they'd have already thrown us out.

  Anita : About time, too.

  Marta : I'll just say one thing. There are about ten leaders who've studied at Oxford. The others are all monkeys - six million monkeys.

  Vittoria : But if you like it there, they must be charming monkeys.

• Anita : Why hasn't your father come back?

  Marta : He has his farm and horses in Kenya. He raises flowers. But I'm afraid something's going to happen. They've all got their revolvers. All of them, again.

  Vittoria : All who? The white or the colored?

• Marta : Kenya is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa. Nicer than the Congo, Rhodesia, Somalia, South Africa. There are trees up to 200 feet tall. This is a baobab tree. Kenya has everything: jungle, snow, savannah.
