Okelo:
You gave an interview on BBC saying that Amin was evil. Are you mad? What about Kinnu? What about Mina? Do you ever think of them?
Jay:
What should I have done? Remain silent? That is the coward's way!
Okelo:
Don't talk to me about cowards! That's what you are. You're not leaving because you're scared to leave. You are scared of leaving Uganda.
Jay:
Why should I go? Why should I go? Okelo, this is my home.
Okelo:
Not anymore, Jay. Africa is for Africans. *Black* Africans.
