Idi Amin
You are British?
Nicholas Garrigan
Scottish. I am Scottish.
Idi Amin
Scottish? Ha! Ha! Why didn't you say so?... Great soldiers. Very brave. And good people. Completely. Let me tell you, if I could be anything instead of a Ugandan, I would be a Scot.
Nicholas Garrigan
Right... Really?
Idi Amin
He. Except for the red hair, which I'm sure is attractive to your women, but which we Africans, we find is quite disgusting.
Idi Amin
I am ashamed that you saw me like that. I was frightened.
Nicholas Garrigan
I'm a doctor. Everything that passes between us is confidential. Ok? I've taken an oath.
Idi Amin
But a man that shows fear... he is weak, and he is a slave.
Nicholas Garrigan
Well... if you're afraid of dying, shows you have a life worth keeping.
Idi Amin
I want you to tell me what to do.
Nicholas Garrigan
You want ME to tell YOU what to do?
Idi Amin
Yes, you are my advisor. You are the only one I can trust in here. You should have told me not to throw the Asians out, in the first place.
Nicholas Garrigan
I DID!
Idi Amin
But you did not persuade me, Nicholas. You did not persuade me!
Idi Amin
You dare try to poison me? After everything I gave you? I am Idi Amin! President-for-life and ruler of Uganda. I am the father of Africa.
Nicholas Garrigan
You're a child. You have the mind and ego of an angry, spoiled, uneducated child. And that's what makes you so **** scary.
Nigel Stone
This man is trying to help his country. Idi always seems to get it wrong, doesn't he?
Nicholas Garrigan
Jesus ****in' Christ! Get me out of here!
Nigel Stone
You earn your passage, friend.
Nicholas Garrigan
Wh-what?
Nigel Stone
You know what they're calling you? His white monkey.
Nicholas Garrigan
I'm his doctor. It's not my job to judge the man.
Nigel Stone
[Mimicking him]
"I'm his doctor?" Is that your defense? **** off, Garrigan! We don't just hand out passports to chimps like you! Particularly not chimps with blood on their hands!
Nicholas Garrigan
I didn't want him to die though.
Idi Amin
But you did it. Why? You want to know why?
Nicholas Garrigan
Yes.
Idi Amin
You did it because you love me.
Nicholas Garrigan
I can't. It **** stinks. I can't help coming back to that moment when I asked you to talk to him. This isn't me. I have to go home now.
Idi Amin
You cannot.
Nicholas Garrigan
What?
Idi Amin
Your work is not finished here yet.
Idi Amin
You promised to me you would help me build a new Uganda. You swore an oath.
Nicholas Garrigan
The oath is... erm... it's, it's a doctor's oath of confidentiality; we all take it. It's got nothing to do with Uganda.
Idi Amin
Huh? Nothing? Nothing comes from nothing. You have a conscience, I know you do. That is why you came here in the first place. Or are you like all the other British? Just here to **** and to take away? No? Why else would I trust you with my family? You are like my own son.
Nicholas Garrigan
My name is Nicholas Garrigan, and I'm from Scotland. I need to go home now.
Idi Amin
Your home... is here.
Nicholas Garrigan
Why are you doing this?
Dr. Junju
Frankly, I don't know. You deserve to die. But dead, you can do nothing. Alive, you might just be able to redeem yourself.
Nicholas Garrigan
I don't understand.
Dr. Junju
I am tired of hatred, Doctor Garrigan. This country is drowning in it. We deserve better... Go home. Tell the world the truth about Amin. They will believe you; you are a white man.
