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.
1:50:03
I want some yacht someday.
What's wrong with that?

1:50:05
And I want to put some pearls
on my wife's neck.

1:50:09
Tell me what man decides what woman
should or shouldn't wear pearls?

1:50:12
I tell you, I'm a man!
1:50:14
I say I want her to wear it.
1:50:16
- How will you feel on the inside?
- Fine.

1:50:18
- You won't have nothing left.
- I'll feel fine.

1:50:20
I'll look in his eye.
"All right, Mr. Charlie, Mr. Lindner.

1:50:23
That's your neighborhood.
You got a right to keep it that way.

1:50:27
Just give me the money
and it's yours."

1:50:29
And I'll feel fine.
I'll say more than that. I'll say...

1:50:31
..."Give me the money and you won't have
to live next to no stinking..."

1:50:36
I'll feel fine.
Maybe I'll get down on my black knees.

1:50:39
"All right, Mr. Charlie.
1:50:41
All right, Mr. Great White Father.
1:50:43
You just give us that money!
1:50:45
And we won't come there and dirty up
your white neighborhood!"

1:50:48
And I'll feel fine! Fine! Fine!
