:05:07
Come on over here.
:05:08
There's somebody I want you to meet.
:05:14
Come on, this is a friend of mine.
:05:18
Easy, this is Mr. Albright.
:05:20
-Call me DeWitt, Easy.
-How you doing?

:05:23
Take a seat.
:05:28
Mr. Albright and me...
:05:30
...go way back to before the war.
:05:33
Back when I was still
in the fight game.

:05:36
Ever seen this guy fight?
:05:40
Every time Joppy stepped in the ring,
you knew you would see...

:05:44
...some knockdown-dragout fisticuffs.
:05:47
-Where you from?
-Houston.

:05:51
Joppy's hometown.
:05:57
Need a job?
:05:58
Yeah. Easy always
trying to do better.

:06:01
Easy's one of a few coloured men
around here who owns his own house.

:06:06
He paying the mortgage every month,
just like y'all folks.

:06:10
Property owner, huh?
:06:12
These big companies don't give a damn.
:06:14
I got out of that racket long ago.
:06:16
If you need a job,
drop by this address, 7:00.

:06:21
Tonight.
:06:22
What kind of work you do?
:06:26
I do favours.
:06:28
I do favours for friends.
:06:31
Drop by.
:06:37
Who was that?
:06:38
Just somebody I know.
Businessman.

:06:41
-Businessman, huh?
-Yeah, he is.

:06:45
Ain't nothing to worry about.
:06:47
When I'm told there's
nothing to worry about...

:06:50
...l look to see if my fly is open.
:06:54
All the way home, all I thought about
was a chance to make some money.

:06:59
I first came out to Los Angeles when
I got home from the war in Europe...
