...don't even count.
1:48:02
In the big scheme of things,
Willie don't even count.

1:48:06
But I'll say one thing:
1:48:07
Harris taught me how to keep my eye
on what does count in this world.

1:48:14
Thank you, William Harris.
1:48:16
- What'd you call that man for?
- To tell him to come to the show.

1:48:19
We'll put on a show for the man.
Just what he wants to see.

1:48:23
He said them people
out where you want us to move...

1:48:27
...are so upset they'll pay us
not to come.

1:48:29
We told the man to get out.
"Get out," we said. Lord have mercy!

1:48:33
What a proud bunch of people
we were this afternoon.

1:48:37
But that was an old way of thinking.
1:48:39
Are you talking about
taking the money?

1:48:41
I'm not talking.
I'm telling you what'll happen.

1:48:43
Oh, God! Where's the bottom?
1:48:45
Oh, God, where's the bottom?
Where is the bottom?

1:48:48
You and that boy want everybody
to carry a flag and spear...

1:48:52
...and sing marching songs.
1:48:53
You'll spend your life
looking into right and wrong.

1:48:56
You know what'll happen?
1:48:57
He is going to wake up one day
locked in a dungeon.

1:49:00
And the takers
are going to have the key.

1:49:03
You forget it, child.
There ain't no causes!

1:49:06
There is only taking in this world.
1:49:09
He who takes the most is the smartest.
1:49:13
And it don't make
a bit of difference how.

1:49:16
- You making something inside me cry.
- So cry.

1:49:19
- Some awful pain inside me.
- Don't cry. Understand.

1:49:22
That white man will write checks
for more money than we ever had.

1:49:26
It's important to him, and we'll help.
We're going to put on a show.

1:49:30
I come from five generations
of people...

1:49:34
...that was slaves and sharecroppers.
1:49:36
But ain't nobody in my family...
1:49:38
...never took no money from nobody...
1:49:40
...that was a way of saying
we wasn't fit to walk the earth.

1:49:44
We ain't never been that poor.
1:49:46
We ain't never been that dead inside.
1:49:48
We're dead now.
1:49:50
All the talk about dreams and sunlight
that goes on in this house.

1:49:53
It's all dead now.
1:49:55
What's the matter with you?
1:49:57
I didn't make this world.
1:49:59
It was handed to me exactly like it is.
