- 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

:07:54
I'm gonna tell you a story.
:07:58
A young kid named Homer Wilkes
lives about 30 miles north of here.

:08:03
He'd just taken his girlfriend home
and was walkin' back along the road...

:08:08
...when a car pulled up.
:08:10
Three white boys took him for a ride.
:08:17
Now...
:08:19
...he hadn't done anything...
:08:23
...except...
:08:26
...be a Negro.
:08:30
And they took him to a shack.
:08:33
A shack like... like this one.
:08:36
And they took out a razor blade...
:08:39
...a regular old razor blade, like this one...
:08:45
...and they pulled down his pants...
:08:50
...and they spread his legs...
:08:54
...and they sliced off his scrotum.
