VOICE OF AMERICAN

As I understand it, Holland's population density is six times greater.

MOKSA

You must not speak of violence, Moses Burumba!

INDIO

They'll throw the body into the canal and they'll beat us like they beat Burumba!

MOKSA

You must not speak violence, Moses Burumba!

VOICE OF DUTCHMAN

Is Holland so dense? Ah! I did not know. But that is on paper, is it not so? Here it is something altogether different.

INDIO

At least Burumba wasn't a coward!

VOICE OF DUTCHMAN

If these people could learn--responsibility, birth control and so on--no yes, that is already a different situation.

AMONG AUDIENCE

DARIUS STARK

Why in hell'd we send them to Indonesia? There's been trouble down there for as long as I can remember.

(Dutch Entrepreneur and American Military Advisor enter Moksa slum)

DUTCHMAN

More intelligence, less intelligence, that is not what I want to say. We do not speak of this type of thing, no?

MOKSA

Come in, my friends. Come in.

(calls)

Chuana!
