We used to say back home...
1:41:03
..."Accident was at the first
and will be at the last...
1:41:07
...but a poor tree from which
the fruits of life may bloom."
1:41:11
What is the matter with you?
1:41:13
My family has been wiped out.
1:41:15
Don't they use money
where you're from?
1:41:17
I see only that you,
with all of your keen mind...
1:41:20
...cannot understand the greatness
of what your mother tried to do.
1:41:23
You're not too young to understand.
1:41:26
For all of her backwardness...
1:41:28
...she still acts, she still believes
that she can change things.
1:41:32
So she is more of the future
than you are.
1:41:34
But when somebody
can get up in the morning...
1:41:37
...without consulting you,
blithely hand away your future...
1:41:41
...then life's impossible.
It's futile. It's despair.
1:41:43
Listen...
1:41:47
I'm tired of listening.
1:41:51
I said that you will listen.
1:41:53
I have a bit of a suggestion.
1:41:55
What?
1:41:56
When it's over, come home with me.
1:42:01
At this moment,
you decide to be romantic.
1:42:06
Dear young creature
of the New World...
1:42:09
...I don't mean across the city.
I mean across the ocean. Home.
1:42:13
To Africa.
1:42:18
You mean to Nigeria?
1:42:22
"Three hundred years later, the African
prince rose up out of the sea...
1:42:26
...and swept the maiden back
across the middle passage...
1:42:29
...over which her ancestors had come."
1:42:31
- Nigeria?
- Nigeria. Home.
1:42:34
I'll show you our mountains
and our stars...
1:42:37
...and serve you
cool drinks from gourds...
1:42:39
...and teach you the old songs...
1:42:41
...and the ways of our people.
1:42:43
And in time, we'll pretend
that you've only been away for a day.
1:42:51
You're making me...
1:42:53
You're getting me all mixed up.
1:42:54
- Why?
- Because.
1:42:58
Because too many things have happened.
