Piet Pagau: Panglima Galiong Bengker

Quotes 

• Panglima Galiong Bengker : [to Jaleswari]  Many people are smart, but only a few are willing to understand. If you kids truly, sincerely, want to help the people here, understand our way of thinking. If you can't, Jales, go back to Jakarta.

• Panglima Galiong Bengker : [angrily]  Adeus, wake up! That city girl is tougher than you!

  Adeus : [dejectedly, referring to Jaleswari]  That girl is incredible.

  [pause] 

  Adeus : She does not think of school as just a rectangular room. She has created an even bigger classroom.

  Panglima Galiong Bengker : [agitatedly]  So, wake up! You, here!

  [splashes Adeus with a bucket of water] 

  Panglima Galiong Bengker : Listen, Adeus! You are our hope, the village hope!

• Jaleswari : I've failed, Chieftain. It turns out my intentions and goals are not accepted by everyone here.

  Panglima Galiong Bengker : Come on, don't feel that way. It poisons your heart and mind. To me, child, you have managed to see the way we see. You are able to hear the rhythm of our culture. And also delve into our thoughts. For me, that's enough to accept you as a child of nature in the land of Borneo.

  Jaleswari : But they want me to go, Chieftain. Perhaps I've crossed the line. I should've tried harder to keep to the boundaries.

  Panglima Galiong Bengker : Each one of us has boundaries. Look at the path of the sun. There are times when it rises to illuminate this universe, and times when it sets to make room for the night. For us humans, we can distinguish things that are bright, so that we can know one another, as well as perceive things that are dark, so that we can ponder and reflect.
