and of our old-time religion.
1:10:03
We aim to pull evil up by the root
1:10:07
before it chokes out the flower
of our culture and heritage.

1:10:13
And our women,
let's not forget those ladies, y'all,

1:10:16
looking to us for protection
1:10:19
from darkies,
from Jews, from papists,

1:10:24
and from all those smart-ass folks
1:10:27
say we come descended from monkeys.
1:10:29
- That's not my culture and heritage.
- (Klansmen) Yes!

1:10:32
Is it yours?
1:10:34
(All) No!
1:10:36
And so...
1:10:39
we gonna hang us a Negro.
1:10:41
(Klansmen) Hooray!
1:10:44
(All chanting)
1:10:53
I ain't never harmed you,
neither of you gentlemen.

1:10:59
(Everett) Uh...
(Chants out of time)

1:11:14
(Sniffs) Mm-hmm.
1:11:18
I ain't never harmed nobody.
1:11:23
- (Everett) Hey, hey, Tommy.
- Huh?

1:11:26
Tommy, we come to rescue you.
1:11:28
That's mighty kind of you boys,
1:11:30
but I don't think nothing's
going to save me now.

1:11:33
(Tommy) The devil's come
to collect his due.

1:11:37
(Pete) Don't be crazy, Tommy.
1:11:39
You don't wanna get hanged.
1:11:41
Well, naw, I don't reckon I do,
1:11:43
but that's the way it's working out.
1:11:48
(Everett) Tommy, I got a plan.
1:11:50
(Klansmen gasp)
1:11:52
(Klansmen) No!
1:11:55
(Klansmen murmur)
1:11:58
The colour guard is coloured.
