Quotes
-
Accuser : You Tani, treasury guard, you abused our trust by stealing gold.
Tani : That's a lie! I didn't steal it, I borrowed it.
[the crowd loughs]
Accuser : You Asha, huntress and warrioress, this is the wrong you've done...
[a man is dragged into the court]
Tani : Turo!
[crying over his body]
Accuser : You brought a man among us. Against our customs, you lived with him in secret. Why?
Asha : Because I love him!
Accuser : No more from you.
[pause]
Accuser : Kinya, oracle of the goddess, keeper of the sacred lioness, where has she been now, where is our lioness god?
Kinya : I set her free, as you well know.
High Judge : Sacrilege!
Kinya : Wasn't it sacrilege to lock up the goddess in her cage?
High Judge : We'll hear no more of this! Listen, Kinya!...
Kinya : You do not listen! Simply listen to me, and I'll listen.
High Judge : By your long tongue you've condemned yourself. You listen too much and speak too much.
