• White Boy : That's the trouble with all these series. You always know the superhero is going to get away with it. That's the trouble with Batman and in The Saint. You always know he's going to win all the fights in the end. That's the trouble with all these series. Even Bugs Bunny wins all the time! If we were superheroes, we would definitely win.

  The Girl : Yes.

  White Boy : Are we superheroes?

  The Girl : I don't know. I hope so.

  White Boy : So do I.

• The Girl : I don't know why you are telling him all this. He can't understand. He doesn't know what a ladder is. I expect we're the first white people he's seen.

  White Boy : He can have mine.

  The Girl : It wouldn't fit him.

• The Girl : We're English! English, do you understand? This is Australia, yes? Where is Adelaide?

  White Boy : Ask him for water!

• White Boy : I don't suppose it matters which way we go.

  The Girl : We'll stay here. Perhaps the water will come back.

  White Boy : Where from?

• The Girl : You must look after your blazer. It's got to last! We don't want people thinking we're a a couple of tramps!

  White Boy : What people?

• White Boy : We're lost, aren't we.

  The Girl : No. Of course not.

• White Boy : Why won't he speak? What's he dancing for?

  The Girl : I don't know.

  White Boy : Why?

  The Girl : That's best!

  White Boy : No!

  The Girl : Suppose he wanted to do something? Or, something happens? Suppose he - tried to - suppose he went off and left us?

  White Boy : No he won't! He likes being with us.

• The Girl : I'd love to have a proper warm bath with clean towels and eat with real plates and knives and forks and have proper sheets and records and cleaning my teeth properly and wear all my own clothes.

• White Boy : What's up here?

  The Girl : We can see where we are from the top.

• The Girl : Oh, come back! I can't walk down there. It isn't fair! Oh please make him come.

• The Girl : I'm not turning back. We've got to get on. It's late! I'm going now. Please! Please try. It can't be much further. It's silly to give in now. It's getting late! We've got to go. We can't waste time!

• White Boy : When are we going there?

  The Girl : Where?

  White Boy : Back home.

  The Girl : In a few days.

• The Girl : You shouldn't walk about in the sun.

  The Girl : Yes, water.

• The Girl : What's there?

  White Boy : Nothing!

• Husband : What?

  The Girl : Nothing.
