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.

Maybe.

:08:18
A young kid named Homer Wilkes
lives about 30 miles north of here.

:08:24
He'd just taken his girlfriend home
and was walkin' back along the road...

:08:29
...when a car pulled up.
:08:31
Three white boys took him for a ride.
:08:38
Now...
:08:40
...he hadn't done anything...
:08:45
...except...
:08:48
...be a Negro.
:08:52
And they took him to a shack.
:08:55
A shack like... like this one.
:08:59
And they took out a razor blade...
