Thirst (Dancer)

Dancer says

Look, you have stolen our water. You deserve to be killed. We will forget all that.

Look at this necklace. It was given to me an English duke–a nobleman. It is worth a thousand pounds–five thousand dollars. It will provide for you for the rest of your life. You need not be a sailor any more. You need never work at all any more.

Do you understand what that means? That water that you stole–well, I will give you this necklace–they are all real diamonds, you know–five thousand dollars–for that water.

You need not give me all of it. I am not unreasonable. You may keep some for yourself. I would not have you die. I want just enough for myself and my friend–to keep us alive until we reach some island. My lips are cracked with heat! My head is bursting!

Here, take the necklace. It is yours.
