This is among Danny's first few dialogues from the film. Landing amidst the torrid lands of West Africa, he talks only business. Even when he's surrounded by armed soldiers of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), he shows no fear. The reason being that he very well knows they need his weapons, which he's about to trade with them for some blood dia...
Danny says this when he meets Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly) for the first time. Maddy looks at the TV screen and critiques modern journalism by saying that the world is falling apart, but all we hear about is propaganda and scandals on news.

Throughout the film, it becomes evident that Danny isn't complacent to the violence around him. Although hardened by his circumstances, he, too, wishes to leave Africa and start afresh. However, as long as he's working under Colonel Coetzee, he can't do that. When he learns about Solomon's 100-carat diamond, he finally sees some hope. He realizes t...
This one becomes somewhat of a credo for Danny. Every time he finds himself in a dire situation, he knocks it off with a "This Is Africa." The three-letter quote—or rather three-alphabet—holds a lot of heft in the movie's overarching premise because it sums up the entire storyline. Blood Diamond attempts to give an unflinching portrayal of war-torn...
Maddy Bowen is depicted as a journalist who's sick of reporting news that make little difference in the world. She looks for her big story in Africa, but to no avail. However, when she meets Danny, she tries her best to make him reveal all the secrets of the meaty underbelly of the smuggling business. When Danny resists, she tries to convince him b...
Being the bold reporter that she is, Maddy wastes no time when she meets Danny. She cuts to the chase and asks Danny about his line of work. That's when Danny warns her by quoting: "In America, it's bling-bling, in here it's bling-bang!"

Maddy keeps nudging Danny by reminding him that his contribution to the diamond-smuggling trade is not making things any better in Africa. It is, in fact, just making it worse. Danny snaps back at her by claiming that she's just like him. He smuggles diamonds from Africa because there's a demand for them in America. "Dreamy American girls" like her...
As Danny takes his final breaths, he looks around and realizes that the continent is not as bad as he thought it is. It was only his circumstances and his perception that made it that way. This scene comes in tandem with an initial scene where the Colonel tells Danny that the redness in African soil comes from the blood spilled from fighting over t...
