"Diouana: Never again will the mistress scold me. Never again will she say: "Diouana make coffee." Never again: "Diouana, make rice." Never again: "Diouana, take off your shoes." Never again: "Diouana, wash this shirt." Never again: "Diouana, you're lazy." Never will I be a slave. I did not come here for the apron or the money. Never will she see me again. Never will she scold me again. Never again Diouana. Never will I see them again."
"Diouana: Back in Dakar they must be saying, "Diouana is happy in France, she has a good life." For me, France is at the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom, and my bedroom. Where are the people who live in this country? The mistress told me: "You'll see, Diouana, there are lovely shops in France." Is France that black hole?"
