Start:

SAM: That’s the way it is, Hally.

HALLY: It doesn’t have to be that way. There is something called progress, you know. We don’t exactly burn people at the stake any more.

SAM: Like Joan of Arc.

HALLY: It’s the likes of you that kept the Inquisition in business. It’s called bigotry. Anyway, that’s my man of magnitude. Charles Darwin! Who’s yours?

SAM: (without hesitation) Abraham Lincoln.

HALLY: I might have guessed as much. Don’t get sentimental, Sam. You’ve never been a slave, you know. And anyway we freed your ancestors here in South Africa long before the Americans.
