"You know how to speak English and they don't." (2.1.11)
If the situation were reversed, and the villagers of Kilanga were in America, this might actually matter. As it is, with the Prices being the only English speakers in the village, this "advantage" amounts to nothing more than a pile of fufu.

"Where you'd be wearing out the knees of your trousers, sir, they just have to go ahead and wear out their knees!" (1.7.16)
In the Congo, bodies are like tools. They're used and abused, and some damage is irreparable. It's not a bad thing; it's just the way life is.
