• Ben du Toit : Jesus, Susan, this is not just about Gordon! This is about all of us!

  Susan du Toit : No. It's about all of *them*. And I will be damned if I let them destroy my family. I don't want Gordon's ghost in my house! I don't want the one with the dark glasses, any of these kaffirs here ever again! I just want to go back to the way it was!

  Ben du Toit : If you had come with me... if you had seen what was happening in that court, you would know that we can never go back to the way it was.

  Susan du Toit : I *was* in the court.

  Ben du Toit : What?

  Susan du Toit : Listen to me, Ben. I heard what the police did, and I'm not saying it was right. But you think the blacks wouldn't do the same thing to us, and worse, if they had half the chance? Do you think they'll let us go on living our nice, quiet, peaceful lives if they win? They'll swallow us up! It's our country, Ben, we made every inch of it! Look at the rest of Africa, it's a mess... It's like in war. You have to choose sides. You are not one of them and they don't want you to be!
