Involvement

Act Three

Idle banter

Madalitso can be heard trying to convince his daughter to marry the Nielsens' son.

Madalitso: Honey, we're desperate. We need the Nielsens' money.

• Nafula: I don't even know him, dad.
  • Madalitso: But you know me. Do you think I would choose a poor match for my daughter?
    • Nafula: Dad, you're picking a husband for me, not a new dress!

Nafula: What about what I want? Does that not matter?

• Madalitso: Choice is a luxury, honey. One your family cannot afford.

Madalitso: Your mother and I had an arranged marriage, honey - it's not so bad.

• Nafula: Wow - you're really selling it, dad.
  • Madalitso: Don't be petulant.
