She

Holly: Will you tell me something? This woman Ayesha, why do you all do her bidding without question?

Billali: It has always been so.

Holly: Yes, but why? She's only a woman and alone. You are men and many.

Billali: And like all men we are born, we live a span and we die. But she has been here forever. She is like the mountains, like the desert. Changeless, ageless, deathless.

Holly: That I cannot believe. In your fear, you have accepted the impossible as truth. No one lives forever. And no one was born to be the vassal of another. You know and feel this too, I've seen it in your eyes. Your body does her bidding but your spirit cries out to be free. Is that not true?

Billali: Each one of us has his own destiny to fulfill.

Holly: And yours, I suppose, is to fill the next alcove. I can't believe you're such a fool, Bellali.

Billali: No, Mr Holly. I am not such a fool.
