There's Stephen Kumalo and I haven't seen him for a year. Excuse me father, I want to speak to him. 

[JAMES, spoken]
I don't know what the customs are now in Johannesburg, Arthur. But if you had struck me across the face, you couldn't have hurt me more or damaged me more in the eyes of those who stand here.
