Queen of Katwe - A Demand for Urgent Payment
Nakku Harriet:
Mrs. Kimbale...
Mrs. Kimbale:
I will have 10,000, or that door will not open.
Nakku Harriet: [turns to Phiona]
Of course. The money you earned, I need it now, Phiona.
Phiona Mutesi:
I gave it to the man on the boda boda.
Nakku Harriet:
You gave him our money!
Phiona Mutesi:
I had to! Because he would not take Brian without it, Mama.
Mrs. Kimbale:
If I were you, I'd find a man. There are plenty of sugar daddies who'd want to pay your rent.
Nakku Harriet:
That is not my business, Mrs. Kimbale.
Mrs. Kimbale: [sits up from the chair; tosses the family photo album on the ground]
Eh? Too superior, are we? Better than all of us?
Nakku Harriet:
Mrs. Kimbale...
Mrs. Kimbale:
Take advantage of me.
Nakku Harriet:
Mrs. Kimbale, Brian was in the hospital!
Mrs. Kimbale: [drops the basket full of the family's belongings]
No rent, no house.
Nakku Harriet: [speaks "Have mercy." in Ugandan]
Where will we go? I beg you, please! For my children!

Theo:
Are you the mother of the sister?
Nakku Harriet: [kicks the rear end of Theo's motorcycle]
For you, I'm not either. And I know a hyena when I see it. You keep away from my daughter!
Night:
Stop it, Mummy!
Nakku Harriet:
If I see you sniffing around here again, I will burn this pile of tin to scrap!
Theo: [Harriet dismissively growls]
You be careful. This bike is worth more than everything you have.
Night:
Theo!
Theo: [rides off]
Me, I'm gone.
Night: [to Harriet]
Theo! I will never forgive you for this.
Nakku Harriet:
I don't need your forgiveness. I need you to sell maize to feed your brothers! Go. Go!
