"For better or for worse. "
:06:01
What is an "inalienable right"
if you are a Negro?

:06:05
What does it mean,
"equal treatment under the law"?

:06:05
How about you? Are you married?
:06:08
What does it mean,
"liberty and justice for all"?

:06:09
Well, I was, as I remember.
:06:13
It didn't last very long. I was never home.
:06:13
Now I say to these people:
:06:15
I guess she got fed up with... phone calls
from Miami, postcards from Des Moines.

:06:16
Look at the face of this young man
and you will see the face of a black man,

:06:21
But, if you look at the bloodshed, it is red,
It is like yours!

:06:22
There was always a guy around.
:06:25
Any guy that could spare the time
for a movie or a beer...

:06:25
It is just like yours!
:06:28
...or a quarter for the jukebox.
:06:33
She left.
:06:39
- How about you?
- Well, you know the South, Mr. Anderson.

:06:43
You leave high school and marry
the first boy who makes you laugh.

:06:47
Hey, your husband's quite a guy.
:06:51
You know, my boss has this thing
about an hour - 50 minutes, to be exact -

:06:57
...that your husband says
that he was with you.

:07:03
- And I guess he was.
- Guess he was.

:07:09
Well, that's a pity.
:07:12
That means that I don't have an excuse
for hangin' around here any more.

:07:19
Well...
:07:21
Thank you for the iced tea.
:07:23
- Thank you for the flowers.
- Sure.

:07:28
Do you know what kind they are?
:07:31
- I heard they're called trumpet-pitchers.
- Oh, that's right.

:07:35
My daddy used to call 'em
ladies-from-hell because they're carn...

:07:38
Carnivorous.
:07:40
- That's the word?
- Yeah.

:07:42
That pretty color’s the bait. Insects just
home in there and wham, they're dead...

:07:46
...even before they got their shoes off.
:07:51
You...
:07:52
Maybe I should've picked something else.
:07:54
Maybe.
:07:54
I'm gonna tell you a story.
:07:58
A young kid named Homer Wilkes
lives about 30 miles north of here.
