Shaft in Africa (1973)

Frank McRae: Osiat

Quotes 

• Shaft : Look, why don't you get rid of that jolly giant over there, so you and I can get down to the finer strokes.

  Aleme : Oziat has guarded me since I was a child. Sometimes I think of him as my living chastity belt.

  Shaft : Damn! - A man that size, baby, that's a whole lot of chastity!

  Aleme : I'm still on my first age grade. We call that fareita. No one is permitted to marry while they are in fareita.

  Shaft : What do you do for relaxation?

  Aleme : I enter chala, my second age grade, this February. Then, even the emir's daughter may have sex and marry, after my clitoradectomy.

  Shaft : Your what?

  Aleme : My clitoradectomy. Female circumcision.

  Shaft : You mean when they cut off your...?

  Aleme : Are you afraid to say the word? My clitoris! Yes! That's what they do in the time of chala.

  Shaft : Hell, no wonder the natives get restless!

  Aleme : Mr. Shaft, the emphasis in our marriage is not about sexual pleasure, but on the rearing of children.

  Shaft : Listen, baby. Now, February is just around the corner. Now how the hell are you gonna know what you are missing unless you give it a little wear and tear before they take it away?

  Aleme : Are you volunteering?

  Shaft : You're damn right!

  Osiat : Where are your stick?

  Aleme : It's time for your lesson.
