| Dylan: Well, of course it does.
You're talking to me as if I'm some kind of racist.
I've lived with these people all my life. Mary: You mean, you don't think they're inferior? [C] |
| Dylan: I think they're a long way behind us.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how you compare one culture with
another, but a tribe out there like the Ginji has a life-style
about as primitive as you can get.
I mean, have they built a house, or turned a crop?
No writing, no technology...I beg your pardon...
They know how to build a fire. Mary: That's not the point. [H] |
| Dylan: They have lived in this country for 40,000 years and never
done a thing with it. Mary: Tell me what you'd expect them to do. [I] |
| Dylan: Well, use the place for god's sake. I mean Australia is about the same size as America and before we arrived it supported how many Abo's? Not even half a million. To me, that's...(searching for the right word) inefficient, primitive, useless...I mean I don't blame them, but I don't want to sentimentalize them either. They got a long way to go and...surely you agree Adams? [D] |
| Adams: You assume they're heading in the same direction as us. Ever thought they don't want it? [K] |
