Scenes with Juba
2 scenes Juba It's somewhere out there. My country. My home. My wife is preparing food. My daughters carry water from the river. Will I ever see them again? I think not.
Do you believe you'll see them again when you die?
Juba I think so. But then, I will die soon. They will not die for many years. I'll have to wait.
But you would … wait?
Juba Of course.
You see, my wife and my son are already waiting for me.
Juba You'll meet them again. But not yet. Not yet.
Juba Can they hear you?
Who?
Juba Your family, in the afterlife.
Oh yes.
Juba What do you say to them?
To my son, I tell him I will see him again soon. To keep his heels down while riding his horse. To my wife – that is not your business.
[They laugh]
