Cobra Verde

[has been captured; to The King]

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
I can not hear what you are saying, for the thunder that you are.

Taparica:
Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid of dying?

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
I haven't tried it yet.

[wakes up a man in the middle of the night]

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
I want you awake when you die.

[da silva pours some champagne into their glasses]

Captain Pedro Vincente:
To slavery! The greatest misunderstanding in the history of mankind.

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
It was no misunderstanding. It was a crime...

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
[drinks the champagne, refills the glass] Slavery is an element of the human heart.

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
To our ruin!

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
The heat here is mean and inescapable. It courses through the bodies of people like a fever... and yet, my heart grows colder and colder.

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
I don't trust shoes.

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
[storming into the royal hut] The dead Kings have deposed you!

Captain Pedro Vincente:
The English have put a prize on your head.

Francisco Manoel da Silva:
Finally something is happening!
