VAISYA

Don't. If we've become murderers what right have we. ..

INDIO Leave go! You want to get us killed?

WOMAN What's the matter?

MAN I thought I heard something. Nothing. Always that same group of fanatics!

WOMAN What group?

MAN Each one of these so-called revolutions starts out yelling democracy and ends up being led by a bunch of fanatics who want to raze to the ground everything we and the Europeans worked for.

INDIO Now you'll leave me alone?

VAISYA No! Murderer!

MAN If they'd only be satisfied with a voice in their governments we wouldn't have to send any of our boys abroad. But no! Once they start, the fanatics join the din and then they want everything--our plants, our roads, our investments. Well are you going to call or do we get out of here?

WOMAN

Indio! Indio Moksa!
