MOKSA
You Moses Burumba have killed my child.
INDIO
I'm going to throw it in the canal.
MOKSA
You can dispose of my son Indio. You cannot dispose of my daughter!
INDIO
You can't just keep it here rotting! It'll poison Vaisya next!
MOKSA
(threatening Indio with cane)
You cannot take her away!
INDIO
Put that stick down, father! Are you going crazy?
MOKSA
Can you help a poor old man?
INDIO
This isn't your child! It's Pretoria's, and it's dead!
MOKSA
I am only a beggar. I have nothing.
INDIO
If the Dutch guard finds out about this baby he'll have us beaten to death for making a health hazard.
MOKSA
Please give something to a poor old beggar.
INDIO
Do you hear old man? They'll beat us to death!
