1:46:05
I see things differently now.
1:46:08
I been thinking about some
of the things we could do...
1:46:11
...to kind of fix up this place some.
1:46:13
I seen a secondhand bureau
on Maxwell Street the other night.
1:46:17
Fit right there.
1:46:19
Needs some new handles
and another coat of varnish.
1:46:22
But could be made to look brand-new.
1:46:24
And Walter Lee could get
some new screens...
1:46:27
...and put them up around
the baby's bassinet.
1:46:30
Place'll be looking just beautiful.
Make us forget trouble ever come.
1:46:38
Sometimes, children...
1:46:41
...you just got to learn
when to give up some things...
1:46:44
...and to hold on to what you got.
1:46:57
- Where you been?
- I made a call.
1:46:59
- To who?
- To The Man.
1:47:00
- What man, baby?
- Don't you know who The Man is?
1:47:03
The Man.
1:47:04
Like the fellows
in the street say, The Man...
1:47:06
...OId Captain Charlie, Mr. Boss Man.
1:47:08
Lindner!
1:47:10
That's right. That's good.
1:47:13
I asked him to come over.
1:47:15
Why do you want to see him?
1:47:16
We're going to do some business
with that man.
1:47:19
- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about life.
1:47:23
You always asking me
to see life as it is.
1:47:25
I laid in there on my back today,
and I saw life just like it is.
1:47:30
He who gets and he who don't get.
1:47:32
It's all divided up between
the takers and the tooken.
1:47:36
And some of us are always being tooken.
1:47:39
People like Willie never get tooken.
1:47:41
You know why the rest of us do?
Because we are mixed up.
1:47:45
Always looking for
the right and wrong of things.
1:47:47
We worry and cry
and stay up nights...
1:47:49
...trying to figure out
what's right, what's wrong...
1:47:52
...while the takers are out there,
just operating.
1:47:54
Taking and taking.
1:47:58
