:38:01
It's my mother.
:38:07
This is Mr. Asagai.
:38:09
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
:38:11
Please forgive me for coming at
such an outrageous hour on a Saturday.
:38:15
That's quite all right.
:38:17
I hope you understand our house
don't always look like this.
:38:20
- Of course.
- You must come again.
:38:22
I'd love to hear
all about your country.
:38:25
I think it's so sad
the way our American Negroes...
:38:28
...don't know nothing about Africa
except Tarzan.
:38:31
And all that money
they pour into churches...
:38:33
...when they ought to help
you drive out...
:38:35
...them foreigners that
took your land.
:38:38
Why, yes, of course.
:38:40
How many miles is it
from here to where you come from?
:38:44
Many thousands.
:38:47
Bet you don't take care of yourself...
:38:49
...being away from your mama so far.
:38:51
You'd better come here
from time to time...
:38:54
...and get yourself
some home-cooked meals.
:38:56
Thank you.
:38:57
Thank you very much.
:39:04
I really must be going.
:39:06
I'll call you Monday, Alaiyo.
:39:08
What's that he called you?
:39:09
Alaiyo. I hope you don't mind.
:39:11
It's what you would call
a nickname, I think.
:39:14
It's a Yoruba word.
:39:16
I'm Yoruba.
:39:17
I thought he come from...
:39:18
Nigeria is my country.
:39:20
Yoruba is my tribal origin.
:39:22
You never did tell us
what Alaiyo means.
:39:25
You might be calling me
"Little Idiot."
:39:27
Let me see. I don't know
if I can explain it.
:39:30
A thing's sense is sometimes different
when it changes languages.
:39:34
You're evading.
:39:35
Really, it's quite difficult.
It means...
:39:37
It means "One for whom bread...
:39:42
...food...
:39:43
...is not enough."
:39:45
Is that all right?
:39:51
Thank you.
:39:54
That's nice.
You must come again, Mr... .
:39:57
Asagai.
:39:59
Ah-sa-guy.
