(DOG BARKING)

EARL: NOW, LET ME RUN
THIS BY YOU ONE MORE
TIME REAL SLOW

SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND.

IF YOU RENT
A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT,

YOU ARE LIABLE FOR IT
IF YOU BUST IT.

I DON'T THINK
I'M RESPONSIBLE
FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

THE THING
JUST FLEW APART.

I DIDN'T RENT IT TO YOU
TO BUST UP A BUILDING.



IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
WHAT I RENTED IT FOR.

I PAID GOOD MONEY.

I'M THE CUSTOMER,
AND I'M NOT BEING
TREATED LIKE ONE.

IT DAMN WELL IS
MY BUSINESS.

I OWN THIS PLACE,
AND EVERY PIECE
OF EQUIPMENT IN IT.

AND YOU AIN'T GONNA COST ME ANY
MONEY, EITHER.

YES, MA'AM.

WHERE'D YOU SAY
YOU WERE FROM AGAIN?

WISCONSIN.

WISCONSIN? THERE'S
YOUR TROUBLE, JUNIOR.

I'VE NEVER SEEN
A DAMN YANKEE YET

COULD OPERATE MORE
THAN A WHEELBARROW.

I PAID THE RENTAL,
AND THAT'S ALL I'M PAYING.

EARL, IT'S AUNT RUBY
ON THE PHONE.



TELL HER,
I'LL CALL HER BACK.

IT'S ABOUT GRANNY.
SHE'S FIXING TO...

(SIGHS)

IT'S ALMOST TIME.

OH. COME ON, DADDY.
LET'S GO TO THE HOUSE.

LOCK UP, SONNY.

WHERE YOU GOING?
LET'S GET THIS SETTLED.

WE'RE CLOSING UP.
I GOT THINGS
TO TAKE CARE OF

BESIDES
HOO-HAHING WITH YOU.

WELL, I'M NOT LEAVING
UNTIL WE GET IT SETTLED.

I'LL TALK TO YOU
TOMORROW.

YOU BETTER SIGN SOMETHING
SAYING I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE.

(CLOSING SHUTTER)

YOU COMING?
I'M LOCKING THIS DOOR.

I'M NOT LEAVING
TILL YOU SIGN SOMETHING.

VERY FUNNY.

(BANGING ON WINDOW)

HEY.
HEY!

UNLOCK THIS DOOR!
(CAR DOORS CLOSE)

HEAR ME?

HEY!

HEY!
GET BACK HERE!

SHE'S BEEN TALKING
OUT OF HER HEAD, EARL.

SHE'S BEEN CALLING FOR YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

MAMA.

(SNIFFLES)

WHY DON'T YOU
MAKE SOME COFFEE
OR SOMETHING?

THAT CRYING AIN'T
HELPING ANY.

CARRIE,
HOW YOU FEELING?

TOLERABLE, I RECKON.

HOW YOU ALL DOING?

I'M KIND OF
DOWN IN MY BACK,

BUT I RECKON I'LL DO.

YOU WANT ME TO GET YOU
SOMETHING OR OTHER
TO EAT?

NAW.
I DON'T FEEL MUCH
LIKE EATING NOTHING.

I SEEN YOUR DADDY TODAY,
SONNY.

DADDY'S DEAD, GRANNY.

NO, HE AIN'T
NO SUCH A THING.

HE'S OUT THERE
IN THE BACK,

BUILDING ME
A LITTLE OLD SHED

TO KEEP THINGS IN.

CARRIE, I'M GONNA
GET ME SOME COFFEE.

YOU WANT SOME?

NO. I DON'T BELIEVE I DO.

I BEEN KINDA
THINKING ABOUT GOING
TO CHURCH SUNDAY.

YOU WANT TO?

ALL RIGHT.

RECKON WHY YOUR DADDY'S
PLAYING I'M ALL RIGHT?

(CHUCKLES)
YOU ARE ALL RIGHT, MAMA.

DOCTOR SAYS
YOU'RE LIABLE
TO LIVE TO BE 100.

YOU'RE TOO HONORARY
TO DIE YET.

YOU'RE HAVING A SPELL,
THAT'S ALL.

YOU NEVER WAS TOO GOOD
AT STORYING, JUNIOR.

I'M 85 YEARS OLD.

THAT'S PLENTY OF
STAYING ALIVE TO DO.

YOU TAKE CARE OF THINGS,
EARL.

YOU DO THINGS RIGHT.
YES, MA'AM.

I DON'T WANT YOU LAYING HERE
SOME OF THESE DAYS LIKE ME

WISHING YOU'D
DONE DIFFERENT.

YOU DONE REAL GOOD,
MAMA.
REAL GOOD.

REAL GOOD.

YOU TAKE CARE OF
YOUR FAMILY, EARL.

YES, MA'AM.

USE MY MEMORY
TO HELP YOU DO THAT.

I ALWAYS DO.
THAT'S THE FIRST THING.

I ALWAYS TAKE CARE.
THAT'S WHAT
YOU TAUGHT ME.

I HAD A DREAM.

I WAS HANGING
A LOAD OF WASH

ON A TREE LIMB
DOWN BY THE RIVER.

AIN'T THAT
THE SILLIEST THING?

(WHISPERS)

EARL.

SHERIFF JUST CALLED.

HE SAID SOME MAN
CALLED HIM FROM THE STORE,

HOLLERING YOU LOCKED HIM UP
INSIDE OF IT.

HEY, DADDY.
WHAT'S GOING ON?

I BOUGHT YOU
A NEW CAP TODAY.

IT SAYS "HUNTERS DO IT
WITH BOTH BARRELS."

WELL, SHE'S GONE.
MAMA'S GONE.

GONE TO HEAVEN.
(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

SO YOU BETTER CALL
WHOEVER YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO CALL.

RUBY TAKE CARE OF IT.

WHEN'S THAT COFFEE
GONNA BE READY?

REVEREND: AND WHEN JESUS
CAME TO THE PLACE

WHERE LAZARUS WAS BURIED,

MARTHA SAID UNTO HIM,

"LORD, IF YOU
HAD BEEN HERE,

"MY BROTHER
WOULD NOT HAVE DIED.

"BUT EVEN NOW I KNOW
GOD WILL GIVE YOU

"WHATEVER YOU ASK HIM.

"JESUS SAID UNTO HER,

"YOUR BROTHER
WILL RISE AGAIN."

HOW ABOUT YOU,
REVEREND?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
OVER THIS WAY?

EARL, HOW YOU DOING?

FINE.

COME ON IN.

WHAT CAN I
DO FOR YOU?

LISTEN, I GOT THIS LETTER
YOUR MAMA GAVE ME

BEFORE SHE PASSED.

SHE WANTED ME TO WAIT
A FEW DAYS AND THEN
GIVE IT TO YOU.

WHAT IS IT?

I HADN'T LOOKED AT IT,
AND SHE DIDN'T TELL ME.

SHE JUST TOLD ME
TO GIVE IT TO YOU

AND NOT ANYBODY ELSE.

"IT'S PRIVATE," SHE SAID.

THANK YOU.

WELL, I BETTER GO.
I GOT ROUNDS TO MAKE.

ROY BAILEY'S IN THE HOSPITAL
WITH HIS GALL BLADDER,

AND I GOT TO SEE HIM.

I'LL SEE YOU
LATER ON, THEN.

OR, SUNDAY.

I'LL SEE YOU SUNDAY.

WELL, WE'LL SEE.

(CHUCKLES)
SEE YA.

(CAR STARTS)

(CAR DRIVES AWAY)

DADDY?

DADDY,
TURN THAT THING OFF.

IT'S GONNA BE A HOT ONE,
JUNIOR.

BROTHER CONNERS
JUST BROUGHT ME THIS LETTER

THAT MAMA WROTE TO ME
BEFORE SHE PASSED.

A LETTER?

FROM YOUR MAMA?

YES, SIR.

I'M GONNA READ IT TO YOU.

IT SAYS, "DEAR EARL...

"WHEN YOU READ THIS LETTER,

"I PRAY I'LL BE IN HEAVEN
WITH OUR DEAR LORD

"IF HE'S WILLING
TO HAVE ME THERE.

"I DONE IT THIS WAY
BECAUSE I COULD NOT
FACE YOU

"TO TELL YOU THIS THING
I NEED TO TELL YOU.

"I GUESS I COULD'VE
NOT TOLD YOU AT ALL,

"BUT I COULD NOT
TAKE THIS TO MY GRAVE.

"BEFORE I WRITE
THIS THING TO YOU,

"I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I'VE LOVED

"AND ALWAYS LOVED YOU
AND YOUR DADDY
LOVES YOU, TOO.

"YOU ALWAYS HEARD
YOU WAS BORN IN ALABAMA

"BECAUSE I WENT THERE
TO STAY WITH MY COUSIN
THAT WAS SICK.

"IT HURTS ME
TO TELL YOU THIS,

"BUT THAT IS NOT
THE TRUTH OF THINGS.

"WE HAD A COLORED WOMAN,
NAMED WILLA MAE,
THAT WORKED FOR US.

"SHE WAS A REAL NICE WOMAN.

"SHE USED TO SIT
AND TALK WITH ME A LOT.

"I COULDN'T REALLY HAVE
A COLORED FRIEND IN TOWN,

"BUT IN THE HOUSE,
NOBODY KNEW ABOUT IT.

"SHE WAS REAL SMART

"AND BELIEVED
IN THE GOOD LORD.

"SHE CRIED ONE DAY
AND TOLD ME

"THAT YOUR DADDY
HAD BEEN WITH HER
A WHILE BACK,

"BUT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO.

"SHE SAID SHE
WAS SCARED OF HIM
AND SCARED NOT TO.

"I WAS MAD AT HER FOR A WHILE
AND MAD AT YOUR DADDY,

"BUT HE SAID
HE DIDN'T DO IT,

"AND I BELIEVED HIM
AGAINST HER

"UNTIL SHE
COME UP PREGNANT.

"HE HAD TO COME UP WITH
THE TRUTH BECAUSE...

"SHE HAD A WHITE BABY."

(SNIFFLES)

"NOW..."

HMM...SHEESH.

"WILLA MAE IS YOUR
REAL MAMA BY BLOOD, EARL.

"YOU COME UP LOOKING WHITE,

"SO NOBODY KNEW
THE DIFFERENCE."

ISN'T THAT CUTE?

"BUT I ALWAYS LOVED YOU
AS MY OWN, EARL.

"PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

"IF YOU DO, I HAVE A WISH
FOR YOU TO DO FOR ME.

"WILLA MAE HAD ANOTHER BOY
BEFORE YOU NAMED RAYMOND.

"RAYMOND LEE MURDOCK.

"THEY CALLED HIM POINT

"'CAUSE WHEN HE WAS LITTLE,
HE HAD A POINTY HEAD.

"WILLA MAE WAS MY FRIEND,
AND RAYMOND WAS YOUR BROTHER.

"THAT WHOLE FAMILY
WAS GOOD PEOPLE TO US,

"AND THEY ARE YOUR FAMILY,

"AND IF YOU DON'T EVER HAVE
ANOTHER THOUGHT ABOUT ME

"OR LOOK AT MY PICTURE
OR ANYTHING,

"I WISH THE ONE THING
YOU WOULD DO FOR ME

"IS TO FIND YOUR BROTHER

"AND KNOW HIM
AS YOUR FAMILY."

HMM.

(SIGHS)

"WILLA MAE DIED
HAVING YOU.

"I WAS RIGHT THERE."

(EXHALES)

OH, LORD.

"SHE TOLD ME THAT AFTER
YOU COME INTO THIS WORLD

"THAT YOU WAS BEAUTIFUL

"AND THAT SHE LOVED YOU...

"AND THAT SHE LOVED YOU."

"THE LAST I HEARD,
RAYMOND WAS IN CHICAGO
AND WAS A POLICEMAN.

"THAT'S ALL I EVER HEARD.

"I WILL ALWAYS,
FOR ETERNITY,

"LOVE YOU AS MY SON.

"MAMA."

NOW, DADDY, MAMA'S MIND
WAS GOING AT THE END,
WASN'T IT?

I MEAN, THIS IS ALL JUST
A BUNCH OF CRAZY STUFF
SHE DREAMED OF...

I MEAN, DID YOU...

DID YOU LIE IN BED
WITH A NIGGER WOMAN?

GO AHEAD AND
CRY YOUR DAMN EYES OUT

'CAUSE I WANNA KNOW
WHO MY REAL MAMA IS.

IS SHE COLORED,
OR IS SHE WHITE?

IT'S A MESS, DADDY.

NOW, YOU LIED TO ME
FOR MANY YEARS.

YOU'RE A SORRY
SON OF A BITCH.

I LOVE YOU,
BUT YOU'RE SORRY.

AND THIS IS A MESS.
I...

I MEAN TO TELL YOU
THIS IS A MESS.

SO I HARDLY WALK IN THE DOOR

AND I FIND OUT DAVID
HAS CALLED A BIG MEETING.

AND YOU KNOW HOW IN LOVE
DAVID IS WITH MEETINGS.

SO, THE DEAL IS,
(CLEARS THROAT)

THEY PUT IN
A NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM

WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY,

AND THEN THEY EXPECT US
TO LEARN IT IN FIVE MINUTES.

I SWEAR, I'M JUST ABOUT
FED UP WITH THAT PLACE.

BETTER NOT
QUIT THAT JOB.

JOBS DON'T
GROW ON TREES
AROUND HERE.

WHO SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT QUITTING, DADDY?

I WAS JUST...
COMPLAINING.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL YOU DO.
(CHUCKLES)

WHERE'S PAPAW AT?

HE WENT TO BED ALREADY.

SAID HE WAS FEELING
ALL WORE OUT, POOR THING.

I WASN'T
COMPLAINING, DADDY.

I WAS JUST TALKING
ABOUT MY DAY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU, ANYWAYS?

NOTHING.
JUST TRYING TO EAT
MY SUPPER IN PEACE.

THAT'S ALL.

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS)

YOU BLUE-EYED NIGGER.

WHERE...

WHERE ARE
MY BLUE BRITCHES?

IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE.

EARL, WHAT ON EARTH
ARE YOU DOING?

I TOLD YOU, I'M TAKING
A COUPLE DAYS OFF.

I AIN'T HAD A VACATION
OR BEEN ANYWHERE

SINCE THAT COUSIN OF YOURS
MARRIED THAT CHIROPRACTOR

OVER THERE IN SHREVEPORT.

HERE.

GIMME THESE.
YOU'RE GONNA
WRINKLE 'EM.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY.

I'M GONNA TAKE
MY FISHING POLE WITH ME,

AND MAYBE I'LL
DO SOME FISHING
SOMEWHERE.

WHAT ABOUT THE SHOP?

SONNY WILL TAKE CARE.

EARL...

THIS IS ABOUT YOUR MAMA,
ISN'T IT?

YEAH, RUBY,
I GUESS IT IS.

IT'S ABOUT MAMA,
YEAH.

(TIRES SCREECH)

SORRY.

EARL: CHICAGO, YEAH.

DO YOU HAVE A LISTING
FOR A RAYMOND MURDOCK?

IT MIGHT BE LISTED UNDER
RAYMOND LEE.

NO, MA'AM,
I DON'T HAVE A STREET.

WELL, HOW MANY RAYMONDS
ARE THERE?

HELL, SHIT,
GIVE ME ALL OF THEM.

WELL, I'M SORRY
TO BOTHER YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

UH, YES, SIR,
IS THIS RAYMOND MURDOCK?

WELL, NOW, ARE YOU
THE RAYMOND MURDOCK

ON THE POLICE FORCE?
YOU'RE NOT.

(HORN HONKS)

(HORN HONKS)

(HORN HONKS)

HOW YOU DOING TODAY?

DOING ALL RIGHT.
CAN I HELP YOU?

WHERE'S THE MAIN
POLICE STATION AT
AROUND HERE?

THERE'S A BUNCH OF
MAIN POLICE STATIONS.

WHICH ONE
YOU LOOKING FOR?

I'M NOT REALLY SURE.

YOU THE GUY LOOKING
FOR RAYMOND MURDOCK?

YES, SIR, I UNDERSTAND
HE'S A POLICEMAN
OR USED TO BE.

HE WORKS DOWNTOWN
AT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

PARDON ME. YOU KNOW
WHERE I CAN FIND
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE?

DO YOU HAVE
AN APPOINTMENT?

I DON'T WANNA SEE
THE MAYOR.

I'M LOOKING FOR
A POLICEMAN NAMED

RAYMOND LEE MURDOCK.
RAY MURDOCK?

HE'S RIGHT OVER THERE
IN THAT SNACK BAR.

HE JUST WENT IN THERE
WITH THREE OTHER OLD MEN

TO TELL LIES
AND DRINK COFFEE.

HE'S ALREADY BEEN OUT HERE
LYING TO ME THIS MORNING.

THANK YOU.
MM-HMM.

(LAUGHING)

CAN WE DO SOMETHING
FOR YOU, SIR?

ARE YOU RAYMOND MURDOCK?

DOES HE OWE YOU MONEY
OR KNOW YOUR WIFE?

NO, SIR, HE DON'T.

WELL, THEN I'M
RAY...RAY MURDOCK.

COULD I TALK TO YOU
FOR A MINUTE?

GO AHEAD.

I MEAN SOMEWHERE ELSE
BESIDES HERE?

I'M ON MY BREAK NOW.

WHAT'S IT
GOT TO DO WITH?

WELL, IT'S
A PERSONAL THING.
IT'S A FAMILY THING.

BE RIGHT BACK.

OKAY NOW.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHERE TO START
TELLING YOU THIS.

JUST START
MOVING YOUR MOUTH
AND SEE WHAT COMES OUT.

YEAH, WELL...

YOU'RE THE RAY MURDOCK
FROM ARKANSAS, AIN'T YA?

THAT'S RIGHT.

MY NAME'S EARL PILCHER.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME?

HOW'D YOU KNOW
WHO I WAS?

I JUST KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME?

MY MOTHER WANTED ME
TO LOOK YOU UP.

ARE YOU TRYING
TO BE FUNNY?

NO, NO, NOT AT ALL.
NO, SIR.

SEE, MY MOTHER
JUST PASSED ON

FOUR OR FIVE
DAYS AGO,

AND SHE LEFT ME
A LETTER,

CRAZY STORY
ABOUT YOU AND ME.

AND YOUR MAMA
AND MY DADDY
AND SOME STUFF.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW
WHY SHE WANTED ME
TO LOOK YOU UP,

BUT SHE DID.
SO I DID.

I KNOW THE STORY.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT
YOUR SORRY-ASS DADDY.

WHY'D YOU THINK
I'D WANT TO SEE YOU?

LIKE I SAID,
I DID IT FOR MY MAMA.

AND IF I WAS YOU,

I WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT
MY DADDY THAT WAY.

IF YOU WERE ME,
I THINK YOU WOULD.

I SEE, I SEE.

I'D LIKE SOME
QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

LOOK, I'M WORKING NOW.

I GET OFF FOR LUNCH
AT 1:00.

IF YOU WANNA TALK
FOR A MINUTE,

THEN MEET ME
AT THE LUNCHEONETTE.

IT'S (STAMMERING) RIGHT
AROUND THE CORNER

TO THE RIGHT
AS YOU GO OUT THE DOOR.

1:00 O' CLOCK.

THEN YOU CAN GO BACK
TO ARKANSAS.

THAT'S WHAT I
PLAN ON DOING.

SO, WHAT DO YOU
NEED TO KNOW?

LOOKS LIKE YOUR MAMA WAS...
DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB, AT
TELLING IT TO ME.

I JUST HAD
TO SEE FOR MYSELF,

OR NEEDED TO SEE
FOR MYSELF.

SEE WHAT,
YOUR NIGGER BROTHER?

SEEMS LIKE YOUR MAMA
WAS A...

PRETTY GOOD WOMAN.

SHE WAS.

SWEETHEART?

YOU KNOW...

I LEARNED
TO LIVE MY LIFE

AND PRETTY MUCH PUT THIS
IN THE BACK OF MY MIND,

AND I LIVED
PRETTY HAPPY,
I GOTTA SAY.

NOW YOU COME ALONG
AND BRING IT BACK
TO THE FRONT OF MY MIND.

YOU FEEL BETTER,
MR. PILCHER?

IT'S ALL TRUE,
EVERY WORD OF IT.

NOW YOU CAN GO BACK
TO ARKANSAS KNOWING.

HOPE I'VE
HELPED YOU OUT.

THAT GONNA BE IT, RAY?

YEAH, JACKIE,
THANK YOU.

ONE THING I LEARNED
OUT OF ALL THIS

IS THAT BLOOD
DON'T MEAN SHIT.

I'M NOT YOUR BROTHER,
MR. PILCHER.

WHAT HAPPENED
TO OUR FAMILY WAS WRONG.

YOU WERE BORN
OUT OF WRONG.

YOU HAVE TO LIVE
WITH THAT.

AT LEAST MY CONSCIENCE
IS CLEAR.

I USED TO HOPE
YOUR DADDY WOULD
BURN IN HELL.

NOW I DON'T WASTE
MY TIME AND ENERGY

GIVING HIM A THOUGHT,
COFFEE'S ON ME.

WHEN I LOOK AT YOU,
I SEE HIM,

AND I CAN'T LOOK AT YOU
ANYMORE.

(LAUGHING)

WHAT'S SO DAMN FUNNY?

HOW'S IT FEEL,
MR. PILCHER?

HOW DOES WHAT FEEL?

BEING COLORED.

(RAP MUSIC PLAYING)

HEY, MAN, YOU LOOK LIKE
YOUR TRUCK, BOY?

YEAH.
(LAUGHING)

WHERE'D YOU GET
THAT REDNECK TRUCK FROM?

ARKANSAS,

WHAT'S GOING ON, FELLAS,
CAN'T DRIVE?

NEED A SEEING-EYE DOG?
WHAT'S UP?

YOU GOT INSURANCE?
HUH?

WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR THIS?

I NEED YOUR WALLET.
KISS MY ASS.

GIVE ME THE GODDAMN WALLET.

YOU HEARD WHAT HE'S SAYING.
I'LL FIX YOUR ASS.

SHOOT HIM!

COME ON!

GIMME YOUR WALLET!

COME ON!
GET UP NOW!

COME ON! LET'S GO!
LET'S GO, MAN!

(TIRES SCREECH)

(SIREN WAILING)

HE WAS PRETTY OUT OF IT
WHEN THEY BROUGHT HIM IN.

HE DIDN'T HAVE
ANY I.D. ON HIM,

BUT WE FOUND THIS
IN HIS POCKET.

THAT'S YOU,
RAYMOND MURDOCK?

WELL, YES, MA'AM,
YES, IT IS.

ARE YOU HIS
RESPONSIBLE PARTY?

FOR HIS BILLS,
I MEAN.

NO, MA'AM.
LISTEN...

WHAT KIND OF CREDIT CARD
DO YOU HAVE, SIR?

SO HE'S NOT
TOO BAD OFF, THEN?

HE'S OKAY TO LEAVE?

THERE'S NO REASON
TO ADMIT HIM,

BUT HE'S IN NO SHAPE
TO TRAVEL FOR A DAY

OR TWO,
CERTAINLY
NOT TO ARKANSAS.

WELL, THEN,
COULDN'T YOU
KEEP HIM HERE

UNTIL HE'S (STAMMERING)
READY TO TRAVEL?

I MEAN, FOR OBSERVATION
OR WHATEVER.

ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU DO?

OR UNTIL HIS FAMILY
COMES TO GET HIM?

ROOM FIVE.

LOOK, WE CAN'T KEEP HIM HERE.
THIS PLACE IS FULL.

LIKE I SAID,
HE'LL BE FINE.

HE SHOULDN'T
GO TO SLEEP
FOR 10 OR 12 HOURS

BECAUSE
OF THE CONCUSSION.

BY THE WAY, HE REFUSED
TO LET HIS FAMILY

KNOW WHERE HE IS.

IS THAT RIGHT?

LISTEN, DOCTOR,
I GOT TO GO BACK

TO WORK.
THEY'LL RELEASE HIM
IN FEW MINUTES.

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON HIM
FOR TONIGHT,

AND DON'T LET HIM
GO TO SLEEP.

(SIGHS)

THIS IS WHERE YOU LIVE?

YEAH.

AROUND HERE.

Y'ALL GOT
THE SAME THING
IN YOUR TOWN.

YOU KNOW...
NIGGER-TOWN.

HEY, YOU CAN LEND ME $20

IF IT AIN'T
TOO MUCH TROUBLE.

WHAT FOR?

FOR A MOTEL ROOM.

THERE'S NO SENSE
IN PUTTING YOU OUT.

SHIT.
YOU CAN'T
GET A MOTEL ROOM

IN CHICAGO FOR $20,
UNLESS YOU TALKING
ABOUT ONE OF THEM

- HOOKER PLACES.
- THAT'LL DO.

NO, SOMEONE'S
GOTTA MAKE SURE
YOU DON'T FALL ASLEEP.

I CAN TAKE CARE
OF MYSELF.

YEAH, YOU LOOK LIKE IT.

(SIGHS)

EARL: YOU DON'T HAVE
TO HOLD ONTO ME.
I'M NOT CRIPPLED.

OKAY, YOU FALL DOWN
AND BUST YOUR HEAD AGAIN.

AUNT T.: RAY,
WHO THERE WITH YOU?

AUNT T., I BROUGHT
SOMEBODY FROM WORK HOME.
HE HURT HIS HEAD.

HE'LL BE STAYING HERE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, SON?

IT'S EARL.

I WON'T BE STAYING WITH YOU,
JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT.

THEN I'M LEAVING,
SO I WON'T PUT YOU OUT.

(CHUCKLES) YOU AIN'T
PUTTIN' ME OUT NONE.

RAY!
PUT HIM IN THERE IN MY BED.

I'M SITTING IN HERE
ANYHOW.

NO, MA'AM.
HE HAS GOT TO STAY AWAKE.

WE'LL JUST STAY OUT HERE
IN THE FRONT ROOM.

YOU GO ON
ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.

YOU SIT ON THE COUCH
OVER THERE.

RAYMOND, YOU NOT GETTING
ANY OF THEM LOUD PICTURES

AGAIN TO WORRY ME, ARE YOU?

WELL, I FIGURE IF I PLAY
SOMETHING ON THE TV,

HE'LL STAY UP BETTER.

HEY, EVERYBODY
STAY UP BETTER

WITH THEM SHOOTIN'-AND-CUSSIN'
PICTURES YOU LOOK AT.

IF YOU GOING
TO PLAY THAT MESS,

I'M GOING IN MY ROOM
AND PUT MY EARPHONES ON.

(COUGHS)

I'D RATHER LISTEN
TO THAT OLD CRAZY
TALK-SHOW REPUBLICAN

THAN THAT OLD NASTY-TALKING,
BLOWING-UP KIND OF SHOW.
(CHUCKLES)

COOK ME SOMETHING
OR OTHER TO EAT.

SHE'S A WILDCAT, AUNT T.

SHE'LL BE BACK HERE
IN A MINUTE,

WANTING TO KNOW IF YOU
WANT SOMETHING TO EAT.

WELL, TAKE MY ADVICE.
TELL HER YOU AIN'T HUNGRY.

EVER SINCE SHE WENT BLIND,

AIN'T NO TELLING WHAT
SHE MAKE SOMETHING TO EAT.

SHE'LL PEPPER SOME GREENS
LIGHTLY WITH SALT

TILL YOUR EYEBALLS
POP OUT.

ONE TIME, SHE
BRUSHED HER TEETH

WITH PREPARATION H.

OF COURSE,
I GUESS BEING 88,

SHE'S LUCKY TO HAVE
ANY OF HER OWN TEETH
TO BRUSH.

YOU BOYS WANT ME TO FIX
Y'ALL SOMETHING TO EAT?

UH, NO, MA'AM.
THANK YOU.

I ATE
NOT TOO LONG AGO.

I APPRECIATE IT,
THOUGH.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT US,

ROCKY!

WOLVERINES!
(GUNSHOTS)

HE'S AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE.

SHIT, YOU AIN'T GOT
ANY OLD FRIENDS
LIKE THAT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

YOU DON'T KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.

SO, WHERE DO YOU
KNOW HIM FROM?

KOREA. WE WERE
IN THE MARINES TOGETHER.

OH, COME ON.
DON'T TELL ME
HE SAVED YOUR LIFE.

NO.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I SAVED HIS.

SO, WHAT'S
HE DOING HERE?

WELL, HE'S FROM DOWN SOUTH,
AND HE'S UP HERE VISITING,

AND HE GOT CARJACKED
AND HIT IN THE HEAD.

HE WAS CARJACKED?

YEAH. SOME GUYS
STOLE HIS TRUCK.

YOU KNOW HOW
THOSE GOOD OL' BOYS
ARE ABOUT THEIR TRUCKS.

HE'S REAL TORE UP
ABOUT IT.

OH, YEAH?
WELL, MY NECK IS REAL
TORE UP

FROM SLEEPING
IN THAT DAMN BATHTUB.

HE GOT TO BE
OUT OF HERE TODAY.

VIRGIL,

IF I WANT TO.
YOU STAY HERE.

YEAH, BUT I'M FAMILY.

AUNT T.,

I'M A BUS DRIVER.

SCHOOL BUS?

FOR THE CITY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
DRESSED UP TO GO TO WORK?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
WORKING NIGHTS.

THEY GOT ME
FLIP-FLOPPING
ALL AROUND

SO I DON'T KNOW
NIGHT FROM DAY.

THIS CITY
HAS NO RESPECT
FOR ITS EMPLOYEES

NO RESPECT.

VIRGIL IS BIG
ON THAT...

(STAMMERING)
RESPECT.

YOU BETTER
BE GLAD SOMEBODY

WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE ME
SOME (STAMMERING) RESPECT
LESSONS AFTER BREAKFAST.

NOW, DON'T YOU ALL,
START FUSMING AGAIN.

LET ME EAT

I MEAN IT.

WHAT SHIT? WHAT ARE

I'M GOING TO WORK.

WHAT ARE YOU

IT'S LIKE TALKING

WELL, I KNOW WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO.

I'M GOING TO GET
IN THAT KITCHEN

AND COOK ME UP
SOME OATMEAL.

FEED THIS STUFF

IF I HAD ME A CAT.

YOU THINK THE POLICE

THEY MAY FIND IT.

MUCH LEFT OF IT.

SHOOT. DAMN.

WELL...

HAVE A GOOD TRIP.

YEAH. THANKS.

AND, UH, THANKS

(CHUCKLES)
WELL...

VIRGIL JUST WOULDN'T

I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

WERE YOU REALLY IN KOREA?

OH, HELL, YEAH.
I WAS ON THE PHILIPPINE SEA.

THAT'S AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER.

WHEN WERE YOU THERE?

OH, '51, '52.

THAT'S WHEN I WAS THERE.

SON, GET TWO LOAVES
OF WHITE BREAD

AND A JAR OF MAYONNAISE.

TWO LOAVES.

ONE...

MAYONNAISE.

GET TWO STICKS
OF BUTTER.

MAKE SURE
IT'S SALTED.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
ANYBODY WOULD WANT

TO EAT
UNSALTED BUTTER.

MIGHT AS WELL
EAT VASELINE,

DON'T HAVE
NO FLAVOR TO IT.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL
I CAN THINK OF.

- YOU WANT ANYTHING,
SON?

I DON'T NEED ANYTHING.
I'M LEAVING.

WELL, BRING IT

PUT IT ON

HE'S UP HERE VISITING
FROM ARKANSAS.

HE'S RAY'S BROTHER.

VISITING
FROM ARKANSAS?

RAY?

HOW YA DOIN', EARL?

PRETTY GOOD.

YOU'RE...

RAY'S BROTHER?

MA'AM, HOW IN THE WORLD

DID YOU EVER COME UP
WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

IT'S THE CRAZIEST THING
I EVER HEARD OF.

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
JOKING AROUND WITH YOUR
FRIENDS OR SOMETHING.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL
QUIT BULLSHITTING ME,
EARL PILCHER.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT
YOUR HALF-BLACK ASS.

WELL, MA'AM, I'M NOT TRYING
TO BE FUNNY OR NOTHING,
BUT CAN'T YOU SEE...

IT DON'T TAKE
NO EYES TO SEE.

NOW, RAY AIN'T GOT
NO OLD WHITE
WAR BUDDY FROM KOREA

I EVER HEARD ABOUT
BEFORE.

BESIDES, I HEARD
Y'ALL IN THERE

TALKING LAST NIGHT.
I AIN'T DEAF.

TALKIN'
ABOUT MY COOKING
AND EVERYTHING ELSE,

HUSHIN' UP
ONE ANOTHER.

AND YOU MIGHT
AS WELL STOP
CALLING ME MA'AM

AND START CALLING ME
AUNT T.

'CAUSE I'M YOUR AUNT T.

SON, I KNEW
BOTH YOUR MAMAS,

AND THEY WERE BOTH
GOOD WOMEN.

YOUR MAMA CARRIE
HAD TO BE, TO STAY
WITH THAT MAN

AND PUT UP
WITH HIS STUFF
ALL THEM YEARS.

MY SISTER WAS
THE SUNRISE
AND THE SUNSET FOR ME.

NOW, YOU CAN'T HELP
HOW YOU WAS BORN,

AND YOU CAN'T HELP
HOW YOU WAS RAISED.

THAT'S JUST
THE WAY IT IS,

BUT I LOVED MY SISTER,

AND YOU HER BOY,

AND SO I LOVE YOU,
TOO,

AND THERE AIN'T
NOTHING YOU CAN DO
ABOUT IT.

WELL, I'D BETTER GET BACK
AND CALL MY WIFE

AND GET READY
TO GET OUT OF HERE.

(LAUGHING)

APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S
HOSPITALITY.

OOH, I COULD TELL
YOU STORIES

ABOUT YOUR MAMA THAT
WOULD...
(LAUGHS)

I JUST WISH
I COULD SEE YOU

SO I COULD SEE HER
IN YOU,

AND I KNOW I COULD.

WELL, THIS HAS ME
ALL MESSED UP, MISS T.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO THINK OF IT.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT'S LIKE TO, YOU KNOW...

YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT'S LIKE FOR YOU.

NOBODY EVER KNOWS
WHAT IT'S LIKE
FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

THAT'S ALWAYS THE PROBLEM.

MIGHT DO YOU SOME GOOD

TO STAY AROUND HERE
FOR A WHILE LONGER.

I'D SURE LIKE
FOR YOU TO.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW
WILLA MAE'S BOY.

SEE, YOU AIN'T
FOOLING ME.

I KNOW WHY YOU
COME UP HERE.

I KNOW IT PROBABLY
BETTER THAN YOU.

YOU NEED TO KNOW
YOUR HISTORY, SON.

NOW, LET'S
GET ON BACK BEFORE

THE BUTTER MELTS
AND I GET MAD,

AND YOU DON'T WANT
TO SEE ME GET MAD.

SECOND DOOR
TO THE RIGHT.

BET YOU NEVER FIGURED
YOU'D LAY EYES ON ME AGAIN.

NO, I DIDN'T.

YOU GET ROBBED
AGAIN?

NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT

I JUST WENT TO WESTERN UNION,
GET SOME MONEY
MY WIFE SENT TO ME.

JUST KIND OF IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
THAT'S ALL.

WHAT TIME
YOUR PLANE LEAVE?

WELL,
THAT'S THE DEAL.

I GOT TO THINKING
ABOUT MY TRUCK.

YEAH?
WHAT ABOUT IT?

I GOT THAT TRUCK
PAID OFF AND ALL,

AND I GOT A LOT
OF PERSONAL STUFF
IN THERE.

I MEAN, I GOT, LIKE,
A DAMN GOOD ROD

AND REEL IN THERE,
SO I THOUGHT I'D
JUST STICK AROUND

ANOTHER DAY OR TWO,
SEE WHAT THE POLICE
COME UP WITH.

SEE, IF THEY WANT ME
TO COME IN

AND IDENTIFY
ANY SUSPECTS OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT,

I MEAN,
IF I'M DOWN THERE
IN ARKANSAS,

I'D JUST GOT
TO TURN AROUND AND COME
RIGHT ON BACK UP HERE.

YEAH?

SO, YOU DON'T THINK
IT'S A BAD IDEA

FOR ME TO STICK AROUND
ANOTHER DAY OR TWO?

I MEAN, I DON'T INTEND
TO PUT Y'ALL OUT
ANYMORE.

I GOT MY OWN MONEY.

I'LL FIND ME
A MOTEL ROOM SOMEWHERE.

MAYBE YOU KNOW
OF A GOOD ONE.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
LEAVING TOWN THIS MORNING.

I THOUGHT
I WAS, TOO.

VIRGIL, WHERE ARE
THOSE MOTELS

OVER ON THAT
STRIP OF STREET?

YOU'RE GONNA STAY
IN A MOTEL?

YEAH.

STONEY ISLAND BOULEVARD.

THEY GOT A WHOLE BUNCH
OF MOTEL THERE,
REAL CHEAP, TOO.

THAT'S NOT
A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S FINE. HE'LL BE FINE.

RAY, GET IN HERE.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU TOO, VIRGIL.

I'M GOING TO TAKE A SHOWER,
WANT TO GET OUT
OF THESE CLOTHES.

I SAID, GET IN HERE.

GOD, WHAT IS THAT?

RAY MURDOCK, YOU NOT
LETTING THAT BOY GO OUT

TO ANY OF THEM OLD
HOOKER MOTELS.

HE'S STAYING RIGHT HERE
LIKE HE BEEN DOING.

WHERE DO YOU
WANT HIM TO SLEEP,

ON THE CEILING?
THERE'S NO ROOM.

THE GRANDKIDS
ARE COMING OVER
TOMORROW.

THEY'LL BE HERE
THE WHOLE WEEKEND.

IT DON'T MATTER
WHO'S COMING.

HE CAN'T STAY HERE.
I'M TIRED OF HIM.

SHUT UP ABOUT IT.
IT AIN'T NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.

WELL, I GMESS IT IS
IF HE'S SLEEPING...

HE'S A GROWN MAN.
HE CAN TAKE CARE
OF HIMSELF.

IT'S NOT MY
(STAMMERING) RESPONSIBILITY.

TREAT YOUR OWN PEOPLE GOOD.
IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO

YOUR OWN PEOPLE?

THAT'S YOUR BROTHER
IN THERE, RAY,

AND YOU GOING
TO TREAT HIM LIKE IT.

AUNT T., WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DON'T BULLSHIT ME, RAY.

I KNOW ALL
ABOUT EARL PILCHER

SITTING IN THERE
ON THAT COUCH.

THAT'S MY SISTER'S BOY
IN THERE,

AND YOUR BROTHER
AND YOUR UNCLE,

AND YOU'RE NOT
PUTTIN' HIM IN THE STREET

WITH THEM WHOREMONGERS
AND HEAD-KNOCKERS.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

THAT SON OF A BITCH
TELL YOU?

HOLD ON A MINUTE.
BACK UP HERE A MINUTE.

WHAT THE HELL
IS GOING ON HERE?

NOW, DADDY
AIN'T GOT A BROTHER.

AND HE'S WHITE, AUNT T.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

DID HE TELL YOU?
HE AIN'T TOLD ME NOTHIN'.

I'M NOT AN OLD FOOL.

NOW, TELL WHAT?

NOW, GOD DAMN IT,
SOMEBODY TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON.

DON'T YOU EVER TAKE
THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN
IN THIS HOUSE.

YEAH, THAT'S YOUR OWN
FLESH AND BLOOD

SITTING IN THERE,
BOTH OF YOU.

NOW, DON'T SHAME THIS FAMILY
AND MY SISTER'S SWEET SOUL,

PUTTING HER LITTLE BOY
OUT IN THE STREET.

RAY, I THINK YOU
NEED TO GET A BACKBONE

AND SET YOUR SON DOWN
AND TELL HIM THE TRUTH.

THAT'S YOUR DADDY'S
HALF BROTHER IN THERE,

AND IF HE LOOKS WHITE,

IT'S 'CAUSE
HIS DADDY'S WHITE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE LOOK.

I CAN'T SEE HIM
LIKE YOU CAN

AND DON'T NEED TO.

I DON'T HAVE THE BLESSING

OF BEING ABLE
TO SEPARATE PEOPLE

BY LOOKING AT THEM
ANYMORE.

DADDY, YOU STRAIGHTEN
THIS MESS OUT FAST.

I'M GOING TO TAKE A SHOWER,

AND WHEN I COME OUT,
I WANT THAT MAN GONE,

AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

YOU DON'T TELL ME, BOY.

YOU DON'T TELL ME
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

AND IT'S TRUE
WHAT SHE'S SAYING,
LIKE IT OR NOT.

I DON'T WANT
TO HEAR IT, OKAY?

Y'ALL ARE BOTH
CRACKING UP.

NOW, JUST STRAIGHTEN IT OUT.
I'M GOING TO TAKE A SHOWER.

(TRAIN PASSES)

I ALREADY DROVE OVER
BY STONEY ISLAND, AND I
DIDN'T SEE YOU.

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T HAVE TIME
TO GET FAR,

SO I FIGURED YOU WERE
GOING THE WRONG WAY.

I KNOW I'M GOIN'
THE RIGHT WAY.

YOU HEAR ME?
YOU'RE WALKING RIGHT
INTO THE BAD PART.

KEEP GOING THE WAY
YOU'RE GOING,

GOING TO GET KNOCKED
IN THE HEAD AGAIN,
MAYBE WORSE.

LISTEN, MY SON'S
TALKING OUT OF HIS ASS.

IT'S MY HOUSE, AND I SAY
WHO STAYS AND WHO GOES.

BETWEEN YOU AND HIM,
AND I AIN'T DEAF.

I HEARD HOW MUCH
I'M WELCOME.

WE WANT YOU TO STAY.
NOW WE GOT TO TALK,
YOU AND ME.

I DON'T REALLY
GIVE A SHIT
TO TALK TO YOU.

I MIGHT AS WELL
BE ON MARS

AS TO BE UP HERE
WITH Y'ALL PEOPLE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"Y'ALL PEOPLE"?

DON'T GIVE ME
THAT "BLACK ME" SHIM.

GET OUT OF MY WAY
BEFORE I KNOCK YOU
ON YOUR BUTT.

DON'T THREATEN ME,
YOU OLD FOOL.

COME ON, NOW.
GET IN THE CAR.

- YOU GET IN
YOUR DAMN CAR.
- KISS MY ASS.

(GRUNTING)

YOU GET IN THE DAMN CAR.

YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING
TO BE NICE TO YOU.

YOU'RE NOT MAKING IT EASY.

I DON'T AIM
TO MAKE IT EASY.

I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.

AND YOUR BOY DON'T
WANT ME AROUND,

HE CAN KISS MY ASS.
HE CAN KISS MINE, TOO.

I MAKE THE RULES
IN MY HOUSE.

YEAH, WELL, YOU DON'T
ENFORCE 'EM TOO GOOD.

AW, FUCK YOU!

FUCK YOU!

YOU WANT ME TO
CALL THE POLICE?

(BOTH PANTING)

NO, MA'AM.

WE'RE JUST, UH,

WE'RE JUST TALKIN'.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING)

YOU DON'T EVER THINK
ANYTHING'S FUNNY, DO YOU?

NO. NOT ANYMORE.
I DON'T HAVE A LOT
TO LAUGH ABOUT.

YEAH, POOR, PITIFUL
BLACK YOU, HUH?

YOU GOT A SMART MOUTH,
DON'T YOU?

I OUGHT TO KNOCK YOU
ON YOUR BUTT AGAIN.

(LAUGHING)
YEAH, SURE.

YOU DIDN'T DO IT
THE FIRST TIME.

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
LOOK AT YOU.
(RAY LAUGHING)

TO HELL WITH YOU.

GO ON, THEN,
IF YOU SO ROUGH.

I WAS JUST TRYING
TO HELP YOU.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.

'CAUSE YOU'RE SCARED
OF YOUR BLIND AUNT, I GUESS.

YEAH, WELL, GO ON.
BE A BIG MAN.

I WILL.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU

OR ANY OTHER NIGGER
ON THE STREET.

I DIDN'T MEAN IT
LIKE THAT.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
TO MEAN IT.

(STARTING CAR)

IF YOU NEED HELP,
DON'T CALL ME.

I'M THROUGH
HELPING YOU.

FINE WITH ME.

YEAH.
DON'T NEED HIS HELP.

HE'S SOMEBODY...
SOMEBODY BIG.

WELL, HE CAN KISS MY ASS.

SHIT.

YEAH, POP IS HERE.
POP, SAY HELLO.

AUNT FRANCES,
GUESS WHO ELSE IS HERE.

UNCLE RUSSELL'S HERE.

UH...UH-HUH.

UH-HUH.

AH, YEAH, UH-HUH.

RAY, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE
YOUR PRIDE ON THAT COUCH
AND GO FIND HIM?

I AIN'T STUDYIN'
THAT FOOL.

THAT OLD BASTARD,

MESSING UP
MY FRIDAY NIGHT.

THE SON OF A BITCH.

(RHYTHM AND BLUES
PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT SPEECH)

HOW YOU DOING?

HEY! HEY!

ARE YOU THE BIRTHDAY GIRL?

(LAUGHS)

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

SHE'S 50 TODAY.

OH, STOP TELLING
THE WORLD ABOUT IT.
(LAUGHS)

I'M SURE GLAD TO FIND
SOME PEOPLE MORE MY AGE.

I WAS STARTING TO THINK

THAT NOBODY BUT KIDS
WENT TO BARS AROUND HERE

NOW, ARE YOU THE HUSBAND?

YES, I AM.

I'M SURE
YOU'RE A PROUD MAN.

YEAH. YEAH.

DO YOU CARE IF I, UH...

OH, YEAH, YEAH. HE WALKS
KIND OF BOWLEGGED.

ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT

YOU GOT TO HIRE BLACKS
AND WOMEN,

SO IT DISCRIMINATES...
IF I WANT A JOB
AS A WHITE MAN,

I CAN'T GET IT
EVEN IF I'M
MORE QUALIFIED.

SUPPOSIN' I WAS,
THAT IS.

BUT WITH ME
IT'S EVEN WORSE,

BECAUSE I'M BLACK
AS A COAL MINER'S DRAWERS,

AND I STILL CAN'T GET
ON THE QUOTA WAGON

'CAUSE I LOOK LIKE
A WHITE MAN.

ANYHOW, FORGET ALL THAT.

I WANT TO BUY A ROUND

EVERYTHING'S FINE,
THANK YOU.

YEAH, WELL...

I HAD A LONG NIGHT.

WELL, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE
FOR SOMETHING FOR YESTERDAY.

I WAS OUT OF LINE.

DAMN RIGHT YOU WERE
OUT OF LINE.

WELL, I SAID I WAS,

EVERY MAN'S ENTITLED

TO MAKE A COMPLETE

OF HIMSELF

EVERY NOW AND THEN.

EVERY NOW AND THEN.

(LAUGHING)

WHAT THE HELL

YOU'RE NOT GOING
NUTS, ARE YOU?

NO, NO.

I'M ALL RIGHT NOW,

BUT LAST NIGHT I BELIEVE
I WAS GOING OUT OF MY GOURD.

I THINK I WAS HOPING
I WOULDN'T WAKE UP
THIS MORNING,

BUT I DID.

I DID...

AND THAT, I THINK,
MEANS THAT THE GOOD LORD

WANTS ME TO STAY UP HERE
AND DO WHAT I BEEN DOING.

YOU MEAN LOOKING
FOR YOUR TRUCK.

YEAH, YEAH.
WHATEVER.

HEY, BATTER, BATTER,
BATTER, BATTER!

HEY.
WAKE UP, AUNT T.

I AIN'T ASLEEP.

WELL, I SEE YOU'RE
WORKING UP AN APPETITE.

BRING ANY WINGS?
OH, YEAH.

YOU KNOW, I ONLY
LIKE WINGS.

I GOT THE WINGS.

AUNT T.: I DON'T KNOW
HOW COME YOU
HERE THEY ARE.

AUNT T.: ON STORE-BOUGHT
CHICKEN ANYHOW.

AN HOUR LATE.

NOW DON'T YOU START
WITH HER, VIRGIL.

YOU JUST MIND
YOUR BUSINESS.

DADDY!
DADDY! DADDY!

HEY.

COME HERE.

OH!

DAMN, DANIELLE,

YOU'VE GOTTEN BIGGER
SINCE LAST WEEK.

ME, TOO!

HI, ANN.

HELLO.

NO, IT DIDN'T.
I'M JUST KIDDING.

HEY!

SORRY WE'RE LATE, RAY.

YOU'RE GOING
TO SIT HERE

AND EAT WITH US,
AREN'T YOU?

OH, NO.

THIS IS VIRGIL'S DAY
WITH THE GIRLS.

COME ON. LET'S ACT LIKE
A FAMILY FOR A CHANGE.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, VIRGIL?

AUNT T.: COME ON OVER HERE
AND GIVE ME A GREAT
BIG HUG.

I DON'T MIND.

THAT'S SETTLED.
LET'S PUT
THE FEEDBAGS ON.

I'M ANN.

EARL. PLEASED
TO MEET YOU.

DANIELLE,

I REALLY LIKE
THOSE PICTURES YOU DREW ME.

I PUT THEM UP
ON THE REFRIGERATOR.

THANK YOU.

YEAH. DANIELLE MURDOCH...

FAMOUS PAINTER.

MAYBE YOU'LL GET THE WORLD

TO SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE
OF YOU SOMEDAY.

THE MAIN THING
IS BEING HAPPY.

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GO OUT AND
CONQUER THE WORLD.

CONQUERING THE WORLD...
IT KIND OF MAKES YOU HAPPY.

I KNOW. I BEEN THERE.

VIRGIL USED TO
PLAY FOOTBALL.

IN HIGH SCHOOL,

HE WAS FIRST TEAM
ON THE PARADE
ALL-AMERICA TEAM.

IS THAT RIGHT?

WHAT POSITION?

WIDE RECEIVER.

OH. I USED TO PLAY
A LITTLE BALL.

I MEAN,
I WAS SMALL,

BUT I MADE UP FOR IT
BY BEING SLOW.

(LAUGHING)

YOU PLAY
COLLEGE BALL?

OHIO STATE.

BUCKEYE,
DAMN, THAT'S BIG-TIME.

HOW'D YOU DO THERE?

HIS FRESHMAN YEAR,
HE INJURED HIS KNEE.

NO, NO, NO. I DIDN'T
JUST INJURE MY KNEE.

I DESTROYED IT.

DOCTOR SAID,
IF I WAS LUCKY,

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO WALK
WITHOUT A LIMP SOMEDAY.

SO... I GUESS I'M LUCKY.

GIRL, YOU BETTER GET
OUT OF THAT WINDOW
IN YOUR PAJAMAS.

PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU.

I DON'T CARE.

COME ON, LAY DOWN.
WELL, YOU BETTER START CARING.

COME ON. GET IN.

WHERE'S
MY OTHER PILLOW?

HERE'S YOUR OTHER PILLOW.
THANK YOU.

CAN'T WE WATCH TV?

NO, YOU CAN'T
WATCH TV.

I'M TURNING
THE LIGHTS OUT.

THOSE POOR CHILDREN.

YEAH.

TROUBLE BETWEEN PARENTS

IS ALWAYS TOUGH
ON THE KIDS.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T
WANT TO SAY THIS,

BUT I BELIEVE YOUR BOY'S
GOT A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER.

YEP.

WELL, THAT OUGHT
TO DO YOU.
YEAH.

IN THE MARINES,
I SPENT MANY A NIGHT
ON A COT LIKE THAT.

OF COURSE, THAT WAS
ON GOOD NIGHTS.

HERE YOU GO.

THANKS.

YES, SIR.

FINE.

(LAUGHING)

YOU SEE ANY ACTION
OVER THERE IN KOREA?

YEAH.

I SAW ACTION.
HOW ABOUT YOURSELF?

NAH.

I WAS NEVER REALLY
UNDER FIRE.

I WAS ALWAYS KIND OF
SORRY ABOUT THAT.

YOU DIDN'T MISS OUT
ON NOTHING.

YOU HAVE TO KILL
ANYBODY?

HMM? I DID.

I'M NOT PROUD OF IT.

YOU EVER WOUNDED?

NO. AUNT T. GAVE ME
A RABBIT'S FOOT

TO TAKE AWAY
WITH ME.

GUESS IT WORKED.
(CHUCKLES)

I NEVER BEEN HURT

IN 40 YEARS
AS A COP EITHER.

GUESS THE GOOD LORD
HAS SEEN FIT

TO KEEP ME
OUT OF HARM'S WAY.

I BEEN BLESSED.

REALLY BLESSED.

YOU KNOW,
THEY SAY THAT...

THAT NOBODY CAN
SAVE ANOTHER PERSON.

THAT'S BULLSHIT.

YOU CAN SAVE
ANOTHER PERSON

IF THEY WANT
TO BE SAVED,

AND I'VE BEEN SAVED
BY THREE PEOPLE
IN MY LIFE.

WHEN MY MOTHER DIED,

AUNT T., SHE TOOK

(STAMMERING)
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ME.

AND WHEN WE MOVED
UP HERE TO CHICAGO,

SHE WORKED
16 HOURS A DAY...

CLEANING HOUSES,

WORKING IN THE LAUNDRY,
WHATEVER.

SHE MADE SURE
THAT I WAS NEVER HUNGRY

AND I ALWAYS HAD SHOES.

AND SHE WHOOPED ME
WHEN I WAS BAD.

(STAMMERING)
SHE SAVED ME.

AND THEN WHEN I GOT
TO BE A TEENAGER,

I WAS TOO BIG
TO BE WHOOPED,

SO I STARTED
GETTING INTO TROUBLE.

I STOLE A CAR.

I WAS A CAR THIEF.

THE COPS CAUGHT ME

AND TOOK ME BEFORE
THIS JUDGE,

AND THE JUDGE
GAVE ME A CHOICE...

PRISON OR THE MILITARY.

SO, I JOINED THE MARINES,

AND THE MARINES
MADE A MAN OUT OF ME.

YEAH. I WAS SAVED
BY THE JUDGE.
(CHUCKLES)

THEN WHEN I GOT
OUT OF THE MARINES

AND CAME HERE
TO CHICAGO,

I BROUGHT
THE WAR WITH ME.

STARTED DRINKING,
YOU KNOW, HEAVY,

AND DIDN'T CARE
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

THEN I MET MY WIFE,

AND IT WAS LIKE
OPENING THE CURTAIN
ON A DARK ROOM.

THE SUNLIGHT JUST POURED IN.

I WAS SAVED AGAIN BY HER.

IS SHE DEAD?

YEAH.

EIGHT YEARS.

(TRAIN RUMBLING PAST)

DIDN'T MEAN
TO GO ON LIKE THAT.

I SAW YOU WIPING YOUR OLD
CHICKEN-GREASY FINGERS

ON MY SHIRT THIS AFTERNOON.

YEAH, WELL, I RAN
OUT OF NAPKINS.

(LAUGHING)

RAY,

COME OVER HERE
I WANT TO SHOW YOU
SOMETHING.

(LAUGHING)

COME ON.

YOU WANT
TO SHOW ME WHAT?

NOW COME OVER HERE.

I AIN'T GONNA
BITE YOU.

I AIN'T GONNA
BITE YOU, EITHER.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

COME ON.

NOW, LOOK THERE.

I WAS NEVER UNDER FIRE,
BUT I GOT WOUNDED.

WHEN I WAS A FIREMAN
ON THAT FLATTOP,

A FIRE BROKE OUT
IN THE ENGINE ROOM

WHEN I WAS FIGHTING IT
DOWN THERE ONE DAY,

AND THE ENGINE BLEW UP.

I GOT THIS.

(WHISTLES)

YEAH.

(LAUGHS)
AIN'T THAT SOME SHIT?

YOU BET IT IS.

I STILL GOT MORE
METAL IN THAT LEG

THAN THEY MAKE
NEW CARS WITH.

WHAT HAPPENED THERE?

YOU GET THAT
IN THE EXPLOSION, TOO?

THIS? HELL, NO.

I... NO, NO. I...

I GOT THIS
WHEN I WAS A KID.

IT'S ACTUALLY
ABOUT MY FIRST...

MY FIRST MEMORY.

I WAS ABOUT
3 YEARS OLD,

AND THIS LITTLE OL'
COLORED KID

THREW SOMETHING
AT ME.

(CHUCKLES) IT'S COMING BACK...
ANYWAY...

PEOPLE OF COLOR
AND ALL THAT.

YEAH. THIS KID...

HIT ME WITH A ROCK
RIGHT THERE.

YOU WERE COMING OUT OF
BURK'S GROCERY STORE

ON APPLE STREET
WITH YOUR DADDY.

HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?

(LAUGHING)

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE NOW.
HOLD ON.

YOU SEE?

YOU NEVER KNEW
WHO I WAS,

BUT I KNEW EXACTLY
WHO YOU WERE,

AND I HATED
YOUR HALF-WHITE GUTS.

SO WHEN I SAW YOU
COMING OUT THAT STORE

WITH THAT OLD DADDY
OF YOURS,

I GRABBED THAT ROCK,
AND I JUST...

(LAUGHING)

DID WHAT COME NATURAL.

ONLY BAD THING IS
THAT AUNT T. FOUND OUT.

SHE LIKE TO
SKIN ME ALIVE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"THE ONLY BAD THING?"

YOU COULD HAVE PUT
MY DAMN EYE OUT
OR KILLED ME.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING)

SHIT.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

GIVE ME A KISS,
HUH?

YES!

I'LL CALL YOU
NEXT WEEK, OKAY?

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.
GIVE ME A KISS.

BYE-BYE.

BYE.

BYE NOW.

GIRLS, GET ON IN THE CAR.

I'LL OPEN THE DOOR.

BYE, RAY.

NICE TO MEET YOU,
MR. PILCHER.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(BLUES PLAYING)

LUCK.

YEAH, BUT I'VE BEEN LUCKY
ALL NIGHT LONG.

UH-UH.

YOU MESSED UP
NOW.

YOU ARE
AT MY MERCY,

AND I HAVE...
NO MERCY.

(LAUGHING)

WATCH MY BOTTLE.

HEY, VIRGIL, THIS DUDE
BE STARIN' AT YOU, MAN.

VIRGIL, I WANT
TO TALK TO YOU.

WELL, WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TALK LATER.

I'M IN THE MIDDLE
OF A CONVERSATION.

NO. IT'S BETTER NOW.
I MIGHT NOT FEEL
IN THE MOOD LATER ON.

COME ON, LET'S GO.
GET UP.

WHOA, NIGGER,
LOOK OUT.

(LAUGHING)

ALL RIGHT. I'M HERE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT?

WHEN I WAS DRIVING
UP HERE FROM ARKANSAS,

I DID A LOT OF THINKING.

I THOUGHT ABOUT THINGS
I'D NEVER REALLY
THOUGHT ABOUT.

I THOUGHT ABOUT
SOME THINGS I SEEN
IN MY LIFETIME...

IS THIS GOING TO BE
SOME KIND OF...

WALKING THROUGH THE SNOW
TO SCHOOL AND EATING
WHAT YOU KILLED

HILLBILLY LECTURE
OR SOMETHING?

YOU GODDAMN RIGHT
IT IS.

YOU MIGHT WANT
TO LISTEN TO IT

CAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY
AIN'T BEEN LISTENING
TO ANYBODY SO FAR.

I DON'T NEED THIS.
OH, I THINK YOU DO.

AND LISTEN TO ME...

FOR ONE MINUTE?

I AIN'T GONNA
BITE YOU.

SIT.

OKAY.

WHEN I WAS COMING UP
BACK HOME,

THERE WAS A GUY ABOUT
FOUR OR FIVE YEARS
OLDER THAN ME

NAMED BILL WATLEY,

AND BILL'S FOLKS BOTH
GOT KILLED BY LIGHTNING

AT THE SAME TIME,
THE SAME STROKE...

WHILE THEY WERE
CLEARING,

AND HE WAS
THEIR ONLY KID.

SO HE STARTED WORKING,
HE WAS ONLY ABOUT
15 THEN

RIGHT AFTER THEY DIED.

AND HE WAS PRETTY MUCH
ON HIS OWN.

NO OTHER PEOPLE
TO SPEAK OF, REALLY,

SO HE STARTED
HAULING HAY

AND WORKED
AT A SAWMILL.

AND BILL, HELL, HE WAS
A BIG OL' BOY,

KIND OF UGLY
IN THE FACE,

NOT TOO POPULAR
AROUND TOWN,

AND HE WAS REAL QUIET.

WELL, HE WORKED
HIS ASS OFF

UNTIL HE FINALLY
SAVED UP A LITTLE BIT

AND OPENED UP A LITTLE
SORT OF A FIX-IT SHOP...

APPLIANCES AND
SMALL ENGINES
AND WHAT-NOT.

AND WHEN HE GOT
TO BE IN HIS 30s,

HE FINALLY
MARRIED THIS GAL,

AND, YOU KNOW, SHE...

HELL, SHE MADE HIM LOOK
LIKE ELVIS PRESLEY.

(CHUCKLES)

BUTT-UGLY.

BUT HE LOVED THAT GAL
LIKE YOU WOULDN'T
BELIEVE.

(CHUCKLING)

I GUESS NOT HAVING
ANY FAMILY AND ALL

JUST MADE HIM
KIND OF WORSHIP HER.

AND HE WORKED
ALL THE TIME

AND ONCE A MONTH,
HE TOOK THEIR
SPARE MONEY,

AND HE TOOK HER
TO LITTLE ROCK,

AND HE BOUGHT HER
SOMETHING.

ONE TIME
IT WOULD BE A DRESS,

AND MAYBE NEXT TIME
A LITTLE DOODAD

OR EARRINGS
OR SOMETHING.

THEN ME AND DADDY
USED TO GO ROUND
TO HIS SHOP

EVERY NOW AND THEN

'CAUSE DADDY ALWAYS
LIKED PEOPLE WHO
DIDN'T TALK MUCH, YOU KNOW,

AND BILL, HE DIDN'T
SAY MUCH, AND SO...

BUT EVERY TIME
I WAS OVER THERE

WHEN IT WAS GETTING TIME
TO TAKE HER TO LITTLE ROCK,

HE TALKED A LITTLE MORE,

AND HE HAD THIS SPARK
IN HIS EYES.

THAT'S WHAT
HE LIVED FOR, SEE?

(LAUGHING)

AND I THOUGHT
THAT WAS PATHETIC.

I THOUGHT, WHY,
THAT SIMPLE-MINDED
SON OF A BITCH.

I MEAN,
I FELT SAD FOR HIM

'CAUSE THAT'S ALL
HE HAD.

AND AFTER BEING MARRIED
10 OR SO YEARS,

SHE DIED FROM SOMETHING,
SOME KIND OF CANCER

OR LEUKEMIA
OR SOMETHING,

AND HE QUIT TALKING
ALTOGETHER FOR A WHILE

TILL HE GOT APPROVED
TO ADOPT A BOY.

AND THE SAME THING
STARTED OVER.

EVERY FOURTH SATURDAY,

HIM AND THAT BOY
WENT TO LITTLE ROCK.

AND WHEN HE WAS LITTLE,
HE BOUGHT HIM A TOY OR TWO.

AND WHEN HE GOT OLDER,
IT WOULD BE A SUIT AND TIE

OR A BOOK ON BASEBALL
OR WHATEVER ELSE, YOU KNOW.

BUT HE SPENT
EVERY BIT OF HIMSELF...

BODY, MIND, SOUL,
AND MONEY...

ON THAT BOY.

AND I WAS OVER THERE
A FEW YEARS AGO,

AND SOMEHOW I GOT AROUND
TO ASKING THE POOR
SON OF A BITCH

ABOUT THE BAD LUCK
HE'D HAD.

AND HE SAID ONE THING,

AND WENT BACK
TO SHARPENING
AN AXE BLADE.

HE SAID, "BEING HAPPY
AIN'T NOTHING MORE THAN

"HAVING SOMETHING
TO LOOK FORWARD TO

"AND HELPING YOUR PEOPLE
HAVE SOMETHING
TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

"I RECKON THAT'S WHAT
GETS ME THROUGH
TILL TOMORROW."

NOW, YOU AND ME...

LET ME TELL YOU...

HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

BESIDES, YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN.

I MEAN, WE BOTH FIND OUT
ONE DAY LATER ON IN LIFE

THAT LIFE WASN'T GOING
TO BE WHAT WE THOUGHT
IT WAS.

NOW, YOUR KNEE'S
BUSTED ALL TO PIECES.

NOW, YOU AIN'T
NEVER GOING TO
BE A FOOTBALL STAR.

AND ME, I'M NOT
ALL SCOTS-IRISH.

I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO GO FACE MY FAMILY

AND TELL THEM THEY'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO GET
USED TO IT.

NOW, TWO THINGS, VIRGIL.

YOU BETTER GET SOMETHING
TO LOOK FORWARD TO

INSTEAD OF
BACKWARDS AT,

AND YOU GOT A WOMAN
AND SOME CHILDREN

THAT YOU OWE THEM
SOMETHING TO LOOK
FORWARD TO.

AND IT AIN'T
ALL ABOUT YOU.

NOW...

(CHUCKLES)

YOUR DADDY'S
A GOOD MAN.

WHAT CAN I SAY?
I MEAN, I'M... HELL, I'M...

I'M PROUD TO CALL
MYSELF HIS BROTHER.

DON'T TELL HIM
I SAID THAT,

OR I'LL KICK
YOUR ASS.

DON'T THINK
I CAN'T DO IT.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

YES, SIR, I'LL TELL HIM.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

(DOOR OPENS)

EARL, THAT YOU?

YES, MA'AM.

AUNT T.: THAT WAS THE POLICE.
THEY FOUND YOUR TRUCK.

IT WAS JUST SITTING
ON THE STREET
OVER THERE IN ROSEDALE.

THEY FOUND IT?

WAS IT ALL RIGHT?

SAY IT WAS FINE EXCEPT
FOR THE BULLET HOLES.

BULLET HOLES?

AUNT T.: THEY SAY YOU CAN
PICK IT UP TOMORROW.

THEY JUST CHECKING IT OUT
RIGHT NOW FOR FINGERPRINTS
AND SUCH.

HOLD ON A MINUTE THERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THEM FOOLS THAT TOOK IT,
ROBBED A BANK,

SHOT IT OUT WITH
THE SECURITY GUARD.

WELL, AIN'T THAT
SOME SHIT.

HUH.

COLLECT CALL FROM EARL.

RUBY?

YEAH.
(CHUCKLES)

I'M FINE.

I'M STILL IN CHICAGO.

UH, I'M COMING HOME
TOMORROW, RUBY.

I DIDN'T FIND MY WALLET,
BUT I FOUND MY TRUCK.

YEAH. I'M FIXIN'
TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

WHOA. I'M FIXIN' TO TELL YOU
A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS.

(TRAIN PASSES)

YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE
YOU FOUND YOUR TRUCK,

YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE
YOU GOT TO RUSH OFF.

IF YOU WANT TO HANG
AROUND A COUPLE DAYS.

NO, I NEED TO GET BACK.
THAT NEPHEW OF MINE

HAS PROBABLY RUN MY BUSINESS
INTO THE GROUND BY NOW.

ALL RIGHT, I GOT TO GET
SOMETHING OFF MY CHEST.

IF I DON'T, IT'S GOING
TO COME OUT SOMETIME, AND...

RAY: AS SOON
BE DONE WITH IT.

EARL: WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO TELL ME?

IT'S YOUR DADDY,
THE WAY I FEEL
ABOUT HIM.

HAVEN'T WE ALREADY
BEEN THROUGH THIS?

DAMN.

I JUST WANT TO
MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND.

I'VE LIVED MY LIFE
WITH A HATRED
OF THAT MAN...

RAY: AND NO WAY
TO GET IT OUT.

RAY: SINCE THERE'S
NOT MUCH CHANCE

OF ME HAVING IT OUT
WITH HIM,

I GUESS YOU ARE
THE CLOSEST THING
TO IT.

YOU SAYING YOU WANT TO
HAVE IT OUT WITH ME?

I MEAN, WE ALREADY
WRESTLED ALL OVER
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ONCE.

NOW, THAT WASN'T
GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO KILL YOUR DADDY

BECAUSE
I ALWAYS FELT THAT
HE KILLED MY MAMA.

THAT'S IT.

RAY: JUST HAD TO SAY IT
TO YOU THAT WAY.

RAY: I KNOW IT'S NOT RIGHT,
OR SO THEY SAY, BUT

I JUST DON'T
THINK I CAN EVER
FORGIVE HIM.

I'M GONNA GET ME
SOMETHING TO EAT.

VIRGIL?

YES, MA'AM?

THERE'S A BIG ENVELOPE

ON TOP OF THE CHEST
OF DRAWERS IN THERE
IN MY ROOM.

GET IT AND BRING IT
IN HERE TO ME.

HERE YOU GO, AUNT T.

AUNT T.: COME ON OVER HERE.
I WANT TO SHOW Y'ALL
SOMETHING.

COME ON, NOW,
BOTH OF YOU.

PULL THAT FOOTSTOOL
OVER ASIDE ME.

AUNT T.: SIT DOWN...

AUNT T.: RAYMOND, THAT YOU
LOOKING AT THE PICTURE?

YES, MA'AM.

WELL, WHEN
YOU GET THROUGH
LOOKING AT IT,

I WANT YOU TO HAND IT
TO YOUR BROTHER.

YOU WERE A PRETTY
WOMAN, ALL RIGHT.

FOOL, THERE AIN'T
NOTHIN' WRONG WITH
THE WAY I LOOK NOW.

THAT AIN'T ME, ANYHOW.
THAT'S YOUR MAMA...

THAT IS,
IF VIRGIL BROUGHT ME
THE RIGHT ENVELOPE.

IT'S THE RIGHT ONE,
AUNT T.

EARL, PUT THAT PICTURE
IN YOUR POCKET.

DON'T BEND IT
AND DON'T LOSE IT.

THAT'S YOUR MOTHER.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
GIVE ME THIS.

I AIN'T GOT TO
DO NOTHIN'.

NOW, YOU TAKE GOOD CARE
OF THAT PICTURE.

(EXHALES)

AUNT T.:
YOU WAS BORN MAY 4, 1933.

IT WAS SOMEWHERE
AROUND ABOUT 10:30
AT NIGHT

IN THE OLD HOUSE
ON SECTION LINE ROAD
BY THE TRACKS.

I WAS ALWAYS TOLD
I WAS BORN ON NOVEMBER 23rd.

YOU ALWAYS BEEN TOLD
A LOT OF THINGS.

AND THERE WASN'T ANY
REAL DOCTORS DOWN THERE
IN THAT PART OF TOWN.

OLD MAN COLLINS
DOWN THE ROAD
KNEW SOME DOCTORING,

BUT HE HAS A STROKE,

SO MAOTIS JONES COME
DOWN TO THE HOUSE.

WHEN I COME IN THE HOUSE,

MAOTIS WAS LOOKIN'
FOR PEPPERS TO PUT
IN THE BED.

SHE TOLD ME THE PEPPER
WOULD WARD OFF EVIL THINGS.

(CHUCKLES)

MOST TIME,
MAOTIS WAS LIT UP
LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE,

BUT SHE'D BEEN A MIDWIFE
A LONG TIME

AND WOULD SOBER UP
RIGHT OFF WHEN THERE
WAS A BABY COMIN'.

WILLA MAE WAS
BREAKING OUT IN A SWEAT
AND GETTIN' WORSE AND WORSE.

MAOTIS SAID
THE BABY WAS TURNED
AROUND ALL WRONG...

AND MAYBE THE CORD
WAS AROUND ITS NECK,

AND IF IT WAS
GONNA MAKE IT,

WE WAS GONNA
HAVE TO HURRY,

AND SHE WASN'T SURE
SHE COULD DO IT.

WILLA MAE...

YOUR MAMA...

TOOK MY HAND.

TOLD ME SHE HURT BAD
AND SHE DIDN'T WANT
HER BABY TO DIE.

SHE ASKED ME IF I THOUGHT
THE GOOD LORD
WAS PUNISHING HER

FOR HOW THE BABY
COME TO BE.

I TOLD HER
TO STOP THAT TALK

AND THAT EVERY LITTLE BABY
THAT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE BORN IS BORN...

THE GOOD LORD LOVE
ALL THE LITTLE BABIES.

THEN SHE SAY, "TIARA,
GO GET RAYMOND."

SHE WANTED TO SEE YOU

BEFORE SHE GOT ANY WORSE OFF
AND COULDN'T SEE YOU SO GOOD.

SO I WENT IN THE KITCHEN
AND GOT YOU AND TOOK YOU
IN TO SEE YOUR MAMA.

YOU WERE SO SCARED
TO SEE YOUR MAMA
LIKE THAT.

SHE HELD ONTO
YOUR LITTLE HAND,

AND JUST FOR
A MINUTE OR TWO,

SHE HELD UP
AND ACTED LIKE THERE
WASN'T NOTHING WRONG.

THEN SHE PULLED YOU
IN CLOSER,

PULLED YOU SO HARD,
I THOUGHT YOUR LITTLE EYES
WAS GOING TO POP OUT.

I WAS CERTAIN OF IT...

YOUR MAMA KNEW
SHE WASN'T GOING TO
NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.

AUNT T.: MAOTIS SAID WE WAS
GONNA HAVE TO GET
A WHITE DOCTOR

FROM UP IN TOWN,

AND I KNEW THERE WASN'T
MUCH CHANCE OF THAT.

THAT'S WHY I SENT
JUNIOR UP TO TOWN
FOR YOUR DADDY, EARL.

IT WAS HIS MESS
THAT CAUSED ALL THIS
TO START WITH.

BUT YOUR DADDY SAID
HE WOULDN'T COME,

SAID HE WASN'T GOING
DOWN TO NIGGER-TOWN
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

AND BESIDES, HE DIDN'T
HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH ALL THAT.

THAT WAS
THAT GAL'S PROBLEM.

MISS CARRIE
LIT INTO MR. PILCHER
LIKE A WATER MOCCASIN,

TOLD HIM TO GET OVER
AND GET DR. PARKS

AND GET DOWN THERE
AND SAVE THAT LITTLE
CHILD OF HIS.

WELL, HE DID GO
GET DR. PARKS,

AND THEY ALL
SHOWED UP TOGETHER...

EARL PILCHER, DR. PARKS,
CARRIE, AND JUNIOR.

BUT EARL WOULDN'T COME IN.

JUST SAT OUT FRONT
IN THAT CAR.

I'D LOOK OUT
EVERY NOW AND THEN.

I COULD SEE
HIS CIGARETTE BURNING.

BUT CARRIE, SHE COME IN.

SHE LOVED
YOUR BIRTH MOTHER.

THEY WAS FRIENDS,

REAL GOOD FRIENDS.

WILLA MAE ASKED
TO SPEAK TO CARRIE
ALONE FOR A MINUTE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY
TALKED ABOUT IN THERE
AT THE TIME,

BUT I PRETTY MUCH
GOT IT FIGURED OUT
OVER THE YEARS.

GOT MY OWN IDEAS, ANYHOW.

WELL, OLD DR. PARKS
WENT TO WORK,

AND SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER,

HE STARTED GETTING YOU
STRAIGHTENED OUT A LITTLE
AND ON YOUR WAY OUT.

YOUR POOR MAMA WAS
IN SO MUCH PAIN,

SHE JUST WORE OUT
SO BAD, SHE COULDN'T
MAKE A SOUND.

AND FINALLY YOU CAME

IN ALL YOUR GLORY,
(CHUCKLES)

FACE UP,
EYES WIDE OPEN,

AND WHITE AS BED LINEN.

I WAS STANDIN'
RIGHT THERE,

AND I LOOKED AT YOU,

AND YOUR LITTLE EYES
WAS LOOKING AT ME.

YES, SON,

I WAS THE FIRST PERSON
YOU EVER SAW.

WELL, THE DOCTOR
CUT YOU LOOSE

AND HANDED YOU
TO YOUR MOTHER.

AND SHE LOOKED AT YOU
LIKE YOU WAS...

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
HOW TO SAY IT...

LIKE YOU WAS A ANGEL.

AND THEN THE DOCTOR
STARTED IN WORKING ON HER.

SHE WAS REAL BAD OFF,
AND SHE WAS BLEEDING,

SO HE HAD ME TAKE YOU
AFTER A MINUTE

AND TOLD ME I BETTER
GO IN THE OTHER ROOM

WITH YOU AND RAYMOND
AND LET HIM WORK.

SO I BUNDLED YOU UP
IN A BLANKET,

TOOK YOU TWO
AND MISS CARRIE,

AND WENT IN THE KITCHEN.

(LAUGHING)

AND THEN, RAY,

I PUT THAT BABY
IN YOUR ARMS.

RAY, WHEN YOU
SAW THAT BABY,

YOU SAID,
"THAT'S MY BABY."

"THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S YOUR BABY,"
I SAID.

"HE'S YOUR BROTHER."

THEN THE DOCTOR
COME IN THE ROOM.

I TOOK ONE LOOK
AT HIS FACE,

AND I KNEW
WILLA MAE WAS GONE.

CARRIE WENT IN THE BEDROOM
WITH DR. PARKS

TO HELP HIM CLEAN UP.

AND THE THREE OF US...

WAS LEFT ALONE IN THE KITCHEN.

RAY, YOU HELD THIS BOY
IN YOUR ARMS

RIGHT AFTER HE WAS BORN.

AIN'T THAT SOMETHING?

(SIGHS)
AUNT T.: OH, GOD...

YOUR MAMA WANTED TO STAY.

SHE JUST DIDN'T
HAVE THE STRENGTH.

SURE DO WISH
I COULD SEE YOU.

BLESS YOUR HEART, BOY.

YOU GONNA GO OUT
THE SAME WAY YOU COME IN.

(LAUGHS)

WELL,

HOPE THAT TRUCK
OF YOURS WILL RUN

WITH ALL THOSE
BULLET HOLES IN IT.

YEAH, GUESS I'LL GO HOME
LOOKIN' LIKE I TANGLED
WITH AL CAPONE.

(LAUGHING)
YEAH.

WELL...

VIRGIL, TELL
YOUR WIFE AND KIDS
I WAS GLAD TO MEET 'EM.

I WAS GLAD
TO MEET YOU, TOO.

TAKE CARE, EARL.

YOU BET.

MA'AM...

I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR EVERYTHING.

NOW, DON'T YOU FORGET
YOUR OLD AUNT T.

I DON'T THINK I COULD
HARDLY DO THAT,
NOW, COULD I?

YOU TAKE CARE, NOW.

BLESS YOUR HEART.

GOING HOME TO
POORVILLE, HUH?

YEP.

WELL, I HAVEN'T
BEEN BACK THERE
SINCE I LEFT IT...

60 YEARS AGO.

PROBABLY HASN'T
CHANGED MUCH.

OH, IT'S GROWN UP
A LITTLE, I GUESS.

ALWAYS WANTED TO
GET DOWN THERE SOMEDAY
AND VISIT MAMA'S GRAVE.

WELL, YOU OUGHT TO
COME ON DOWN SOMETIME
AND DO IT.

ONE OF THESE DAYS.

THE POLICE
IMPOUND YARD
IS RIGHT UP THERE.

(GATE SQUEALING)

THIS IT?

THIS IS IT.

YEAH, YOU OUGHT TO
COME ON DOWN SOMETIME.

YOU SURE THIS IS IT?

I'M SURE.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

HERE IT IS.

WILLA MAE...

MOTHER.

KIND OF A NICE MORNING.

YEAH, IT IS.

WILLA MAE...

WANT A SNORT?

GO ON.
WON'T BITE YA.

HOO-HAH.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

I NEVER COULD
DRINK THAT SCOTCH.

SHOOT.

WELL, I TELL YA...

I GUESS THE FOLKS
ARE UP NOW,
PROBABLY.

YEAH.

NOW, LISTEN, THIS IS
NOT GOING TO BE LIKE
A SUNDAY PICNIC,

LET ME TELL YOU THAT
RIGHT NOW.

RUBY AND MY GIRL
WILL BE ALL RIGHT,
I GUESS, BUT,

THAT NEPHEW OF MINE

MAKES YOUR BOY
LOOK LIKE
MAHATMA GANDHI.

WHOA...

HE MIGHT TAKE
A SHOT AT YOU...

OR EVEN MAYBE
BOTH OF US.
