:10:02
Can't send them people
right back home again.
:10:04
- Your only worry is picking the round?
- That takes some thinkin'.
:10:08
You see, if I lets it go on too long
and I'm just keeping him off...
:10:12
they'll say, "Ain't that one shiftless nigger?
Why are they all so lazy?"
:10:16
But if I chop them down too quick,
the third or fourth round...
:10:19
Get to him all at once, they'll holler...
:10:22
"No, it ain't fair.
The poor man fighting a gorilla. "
:10:24
But I'm gonna
work it out.
:10:27
What about that yellow streak
Brady talks about?
:10:29
Hey, yeah.
You want to see it?
:10:31
Stop fooling around!
:10:34
Any idea, Jack,
why you smile when you're fightin'?
:10:36
I'm a happy sort of person
and always feels good.
:10:40
When I'm fighting,
I feels double good...
:10:42
so why do I wanna
put a face on for?
:10:44
Anyway, it's a sport, right?
Like a game.
:10:47
Well, I likes whoever I'm hitting
to see that I'm still his friend.
:10:50
- Going back to Chicago after the fight?
- I wanna see my mama.
:10:53
- And fried chicken, Jack.
- Okay, wait!
:10:58
- One more question.
- Yeah. Go ahead.
:11:00
You're the first black man in the history
of the ring who's ever had a crack...
:11:03
at the heavyweight title.
:11:04
White folks, of course, are behind Brady.
He's the redeemer of the race.
:11:08
But you, JackJefferson,
are you the black hope?
:11:12
- I'm black, and I'm hopin'.
- Answer straight, Jack.
:11:14
I ain't fighting for no race.
I ain't redeeming nobody.
:11:17
My mama told me Mr. Lincoln done that.
Ain't that why you shot him?
:11:21
My, oh, my.
:11:25
The big black rooster
and the little red hen.
:11:29
I got you, you mother.
:11:31
- What you want here?
- I show you what I want!
:11:33
- Hey.!
- Jack.! Jack.!
:11:35
You crazy?
You bitch.! Goddamn it.!
:11:38
Just a family quarrel. A family quarrel.
:11:41
You leave my man be, girl. You don't,
I'm gonna throw you at him in chunks.
:11:43
- You got it all wrong, Clara.
- I got it from the chambermaid
at the Park Royal Hotel.
:11:47
I come all the way
from Chicago to got it.
:11:49
Now that you "got" it,
you get your black ass out of here.
:11:51
- Jack!
- Let the gentlemen see how
you're 'smirchin' your wife.
:11:54
- She ain't no wife of mine.
- We's common law, and I's comin' home to Papa.
:11:58
I's common nothin'.
