(copy paste)...
First priest:  The other day I asked them, "Are you Indians?"
"No," they said, "not us, the ones up the river are."  Then I
asked, "What are Indians?"  They said, "Indians are people
who can't read and who don't know how to wash their clothes."

Fitzcarraldo:  And what do the older people say?

Second priest:  Well...  We can't seem to cure them of the
idea that our everyday life is only an illusion behind which
lies the reality of dreams.
