I... I... I am sick and tired
of going to the funerals...

:06:01
Are you kidding me? No! Come on.
:06:05
... of black men who have been
murdered by white men!

:06:05
- You take sugar?
- Sure do.

:06:08
I... I am sick and tired
of the people of this country...

:06:09
- You know, I grew up in a town like this.
- You were smart enough to leave.

:06:12
... who continue to allow
these things to happen!

:06:13
Why didn't you?
:06:15
"For better or for worse. "
:06:16
What is an "inalienable right"
if you are a Negro?

:06:21
What does it mean,
"equal treatment under the law"?

:06:21
How about you? Are you married?
:06:24
What does it mean,
"liberty and justice for all"?

:06:25
Well, I was, as I remember.
:06:29
It didn't last very long. I was never home.
:06:29
Now I say to these people:
:06:31
I guess she got fed up with... phone calls
from Miami, postcards from Des Moines.

:06:32
Look at the face of this young man
and you will see the face of a black man,

:06:38
But, if you look at the bloodshed, it is red,
It is like yours!

:06:38
There was always a guy around.
:06:41
Any guy that could spare the time
for a movie or a beer...

:06:42
It is just like yours!
:06:45
...or a quarter for the jukebox.
:06:50
She left.
:06:56
- How about you?
- Well, you know the South, Mr. Anderson.

:07:01
You leave high school and marry
the first boy who makes you laugh.

:07:04
Hey, your husband's quite a guy.
:07:09
You know, my boss has this thing
about an hour - 50 minutes, to be exact -

:07:14
...that your husband says
that he was with you.

:07:21
- And I guess he was.
- Guess he was.

:07:28
Well, that's a pity.
:07:31
That means that I don't have an excuse
for hangin' around here any more.

:07:38
Well...
:07:40
Thank you for the iced tea.
:07:42
- Thank you for the flowers.
- Sure.

:07:47
Do you know what kind they are?
:07:50
- I heard they're called trumpet-pitchers.
- Oh, that's right.

:07:54
My daddy used to call 'em
ladies-from-hell because they're carn...

:07:58
Carnivorous.
