Willie Harris is
a good-for-nothing loudmouth.
:08:03
Anybody who'd talk to me
has to be a good-for-nothing loudmouth.
:08:08
Charlie Atkins was one too.
Wanted me to go into business with him.
:08:13
Now his dry cleaners grosses
$100,000 a year. $100,000 a year.
:08:17
Still a loudmouth
good-for-nothing.
:08:19
Oh, Walter Lee!
:08:22
You're tired, ain't you, baby?
You oh so tired of everything.
:08:26
Me, the boy, the way we live
in this beat-up hole. Everything.
:08:29
Moaning and groaning.
:08:30
But you wouldn't help.
You couldn't be on my side, could you?
:08:33
Please, leave me alone.
:08:35
A man needs a woman to back him.
Mama would listen to you...
:08:38
...more than me and Bennie.
:08:40
All you do is sit down with her
one morning...
:08:43
...when you're having coffee
and talking like you do.
:08:45
Just say that you've been thinking
about this deal...
:08:48
...Walter Lee's so interested in
about the store.
:08:51
Sip at your coffee
like it ain't important to you.
:08:53
Soon, she's listening good
and asking questions.
:08:56
I come home.
I fill in the details.
:08:57
Please, leave me alone.
:08:59
This ain't no
fly-by-night operation.
:09:01
We got this figured out.
Me, Willie and Bobo.
:09:04
Bobo?
:09:06
We figure the initial investment
on the place to be about $30,000.
:09:10
That's $10,000 apiece.
Of course...
:09:12
...we got to spread around a few
hundred to get our license approved.
:09:16
You mean graft.
:09:18
Don't call it that.
:09:19
Goes to show you how much
women know about the world.
:09:22
Baby, don't nothing happen for you
unless somebody gets paid off.
:09:26
Leave me alone!
:09:28
Eat your eggs.
They'll be cold.
:09:30
See?
:09:32
Man say to his woman,
"I got a dream."
:09:34
She says,
"Eat your eggs. They getting cold."
:09:37
Man say, "Help me to take a hold
in this world."
:09:39
She says, "Eat your eggs.
Go to work."
:09:41
I got to change my life
because I'm choking to death...
:09:44
...and all you say to me is,
"Eat these eggs."
:09:47
That ain't our money, and I ain't
going to harass your mama about it.
:09:52
I looked in the mirror and thought,
I'm 35 years old.
:09:55
I'm married 11 years.
:09:57
And I got a boy who sleeps in the
living room because I got nothing.
