Sarah Jane!
Where have you been?

1:06:19
I've been looking all over
for you! You're supposed
to be in bed...
Shh!

1:06:29
Uh...
1:06:31
Sit down.
1:06:35
Cross your heart.
1:06:38
You won't tell my mama?
No, I won't
tell Annie.

1:06:41
W- Well, what is it?
1:06:44
I've been out.
1:06:47
With my boyfriend.
1:06:50
Boyfriend?
I didn't know
you had a boyfriend!

1:06:53
- Where's he from?
- The Village.

1:06:56
Oh. Did you meet him
in school?
School?

1:07:01
No.
1:07:03
There's an ice cream
parlor in The Village
with a jukebox.

1:07:06
Yeah?
And he used to
stand outside,

1:07:09
and every time I'd walk by,
he'd whistle!
No kidding!

1:07:13
But first I pretended he
wasn't on earth.
Yeah?

1:07:17
But finally I had to laugh,
and he followed me.

1:07:20
And we started to talk.
1:07:22
He's cute.
Really cute.

1:07:25
Is he a colored boy?
1:07:27
Why did you ask that?
Well, I don't know.

1:07:30
It just slipped out.
It was the first thing
you thought of.

1:07:33
I told you,
it just slipped out!
Well, he's white.

1:07:36
And if he ever finds out
about me, I'll kill myself.
But why?

1:07:41
Because I'm white too.
And if I have to be colored,
then I want to die.

1:07:45
What are you saying?
I wanna have
a chance in life.

1:07:47
I don't wanna have to
come through back doors,
feel lower than other people,

1:07:51
or apologize
for my mother's color.
Don't say that!

1:07:54
She can't help her color,
but I can.

1:07:57
And I will.
1:07:59
But we've always
talked things over.
