Now, you wanna be a man? A woman?
1:11:05
Feed your family.
1:11:11
All right, Adrian,
go on back to your chair.

1:11:16
Willie.
1:11:18
Come for the job.
1:11:30
-Good morning.
-Morning.

1:11:32
I'm Willie Mangum.
1:11:36
I came to see about a job.
1:11:39
Well, Mangum, why do you
want to work for me?

1:11:41
Well, because....
1:11:44
Actually, I'd just like to work anywhere.
I need the job. I just wanna work.

1:11:49
You need the job?
Why'd you leave your last job?

1:11:52
I haven't worked before.
1:11:54
But....
1:11:56
But what?
1:11:57
But my mother--
1:12:00
I'm old enough to be working now.
1:12:03
My father is....
1:12:05
Well, he's not there.
1:12:07
And I have a little brother.
1:12:09
Well, there's four of us...
1:12:11
...and my little brother Timothy....
1:12:17
Well, he's not right.
1:12:19
I know that, I mean...
1:12:22
...he's kind of slow.
1:12:24
And the kids laugh at him sometimes.
1:12:30
But it's not Timmy's fault, I mean,
because he just likes everybody.

1:12:35
But they laugh at him sometimes...
1:12:39
...and Mama tries, but she lost
that little piece of job she had.

1:12:44
Cutbacks and everything.
1:12:47
And the welfare sends some, but it's....
1:12:52
See...
1:12:54
...Timothy can't be by himself.
1:12:57
He's like a little baby.
