Quote #10

HALLY. [. . .] To put my thesis in a nutshell: The war-dance has been replaced by the waltz. But it still amounts to the same thing: the release of primitive emotions through movement. Shall we give it a go? (1303-1307)

Ouch again. Hally connects the native "war-dance" to the waltz as a manifestation of culture, but he's definitely not letting it into the realm of Culture. He's sure to use the adjective "primitive" to show that he doesn't consider natives dancing the foxtrot to be any more advanced than their dancing a war dance. So there goes our hope.
