## Queen Kari

* [to David] I did not save you for others, strange one. You're mine. Mine alone. Think on this.
* You see! Already you want to impose your will. You want to dominate me. I'd be a fool to let any man do that again.
* My body hungers. Bring food and drink to my chambers.

## Other

* Blonde Slave Girl #1: We are not beasts of the field. We are women!

## Dialogue

    David: What is it?
    Jakara: It is the sign of the sacred white rhino. It guards the entry to the land of the Pu'naka. Wait, walla!
    David: Well, we haven't gone this far to be turned back by a primitive tree carving!
    Jakara: But, here, the devils of darkness are all about us!
    David: The devils of what?
    Jakara: The spirits of the past - that protect their holy shrine, from the desecration of the lure of the ice.
    Warrior: You are on the hallowed hunting grounds of the Pu'naka. No hunting is allowed here!
    David: I only came to end the suffering of this wounded beast.
    Warrior: Your presence has disturbed the spirit of the white rhinoceros!
    David: Are there no men here to help you?
    Saria: But you said you had come to help us.
    David: But your men? Where are they?
    Saria: They are no longer - men.
    Kari: Let the dancing continue.
    Amyak: Permit me, my Queen, to speak.
    Kari: Speak, slave.
    Amyak: The women are tired. And when the heart is heavy the feet are not light. Let there be no more dancing.
    Kari: You heard my command. Dance!
    Amyak: Poor Saria, she's too young to have suffered so.
    Blonde Slave Girl #2: Then let this be your lesson. Many more of us will have to suffer, if you persist in this senseless search for freedom. There is no escape!
    Kari: Why do you hesitate?
    David: It will take me a little time to...
    Kari: You must learn that each command must be obeyed at once. - - Come.
    Kari: You refuse me?
    David: What else can you expect? Your heartless cruelty is sickening!
    Kari: You'd have me otherwise?
    David: What makes you so cruel?
    Kari: Cruelty has made me cruel.
    Kari: I was once their slave. Before the devils came, we dark ones were in bondage to the fair ones. You would have pitied me then. A meek, cringing creature. You would have pitied me; but, you would not have wanted me.
    David: I don't want you now!
    Kari: Has the woman always been subservient to a man to be wanted?
    David: No.
    Kari: Do you suggest we should be equal?
    David: Yes.
    Kari: Then I will be your equality. Share my throne and my kingdom with you.
    Kari: You will want me - and on my terms!
    David: Never!
    Kari: I am Queen here - I will not be denied!
    David: You will never rule me.
    Kari: Then like the others, you will become my slave.
    Saria: No! I release you from your promise.
    Kari: What promise?
    David: There is no promise.
    Kari: He has fulfilled your desires only because I made him promise that he would.
