00:03:56,195 --> 00:03:58,070

43
00:03:58,113 --> 00:03:59,905
- Memaw, you're not fat.
44
00:03:59,949 --> 00:04:01,657
- Well, I am too.
45
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:03,742
Selmadine Hart can

47
00:04:06,247 --> 00:04:08,247
Me, I just look at
a jar of mayonnaise,
48
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:10,082
it goes straight to my ass.
49
00:04:11,168 --> 00:04:12,834
A big day for you, huh?
50
00:04:12,878 --> 00:04:16,713
- Yes ma'am, deposit
these 72 today, I'm done.
51
00:04:16,757 --> 00:04:18,090
- Woo, my God.
52
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:20,550
- Can you believe it, Memaw?
53
00:04:20,594 --> 00:04:24,930
I made 196 dollars off
bottle deposits.
54
00:04:24,974 --> 00:04:27,182
Lucky for me, people litter.
55
00:04:27,226 --> 00:04:28,642
Gonna buy myself a chair,
56
00:04:28,686 --> 00:04:30,978

00:04:34,275 --> 00:04:36,233
Oh, Memaw,
59
00:04:37,528 --> 00:04:40,362
gonna buy you some
livers and kidneys,
60
00:04:40,406 --> 00:04:42,447

You all right?
64
00:04:53,711 --> 00:04:56,086
I wish you would let
me get you a walker.
65
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,672
- Oh shit, I am too
old for something new.
66
00:05:00,092 --> 00:05:02,843
People just don't die
like they used to.
67
00:05:02,886 --> 00:05:04,678
Hang around and
languish and drool.
68
00:05:04,722 --> 00:05:05,846
- Memaw.
69
00:05:07,182 --> 00:05:09,766
- Honey, honey, pull that blind.
70
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:10,934
I can't see my game show.
71
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:13,061

The damage is done.
104
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:15,350

and we are going all

00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:24,025
and this sweet king--
108
00:07:24,069 --> 00:07:25,986
- Now, you stop
that foolish talk.
109
00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:27,904
I'm not gonna

110
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:30,866

00:07:34,163 --> 00:07:35,537
You're late.
113
00:07:35,581 --> 00:07:36,580
- I'm sorry.
114
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:37,622
- Why do you let
Lottie Strickland
115
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:39,124
fill your head
with such nonsense?
116
00:07:39,168 --> 00:07:41,418
That woman could screw
up a two car funeral.
117
00:07:43,172 --> 00:07:43,920
- Ma'am?
118
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:45,338
- What is it angel?
119
00:07:45,382 --> 00:07:46,465
- I just wanted to make sure
120
00:07:46,508 --> 00:07:47,340
that you thought this
color would fit in
121
00:07:47,384 --> 00:07:49,634
alright with your decor?
122
00:07:49,678 --> 00:07:51,386
- I'm on the telephone.
123
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:54,431
- Yes ma'am.
124
00:07:57,436 --> 00:07:59,644
I just wondered if you
might give me an advance
125
00:07:59,688 --> 00:08:00,979
on my monthly check?
126
00:08:01,023 --> 00:08:02,856
See the sale ends on Friday.
127
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:03,732
And I was--
128
00:08:03,775 --> 00:08:04,733
- We can talk about it later.
129
00:08:04,776 --> 00:08:06,026
- Yes ma'am.
130
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:10,113
See, this guy he just
busted up all my bottles.
131
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:11,656
- Aw, that's rich.
132
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:14,576
- Well, I was thinkin'
that I could pay you back
133
00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:15,827
with interest.
134
00:08:15,871 --> 00:08:16,912
- No, of course not.
135
00:08:16,955 --> 00:08:18,205
- Does that mean you'll do it?
136
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:19,915
You'll give me the loan?
137
00:08:19,958 --> 00:08:22,834
- I told you this over and over.
138
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:25,837
- About the loan, is that a yes?
139
00:08:25,881 --> 00:08:27,797
- It's a no.
140
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,260
- The saga begins
with Kunta Kinte,
141
00:08:32,304 --> 00:08:36,139
an African youth
captured by slave raiders
142
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:40,685
then brought to America
in chains, 1767.
143
00:08:41,939 --> 00:08:44,231
Powerful story of
Kunta's odyssey
144
00:08:44,274 --> 00:08:47,192
in the new world,
and his ancestor's
145
00:08:47,236 --> 00:08:49,402
journey to freedom.
146
00:08:49,446 --> 00:08:53,490
Hmm, they turned that
book into a story.
147
00:08:55,786 --> 00:08:58,870
No wait, that there's
my work station.
148
00:08:58,914 --> 00:09:00,372
(glass clinking)
149
00:09:00,415 --> 00:09:02,207
- Careful, I can't get that
deposit money if it's chipped.
150
00:09:02,251 --> 00:09:04,292
- Now who bust your balloon?
151
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:05,877
- Don't wanna talk about it.
152
00:09:05,921 --> 00:09:07,504
- Fine then.
153
00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:08,797
Bye.
154
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:12,676
- Listen to this.
155
00:09:15,013 --> 00:09:17,264
Last year's model on clearance.
156
00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:20,267
Supple pleather
that's easy to clean,
157
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:22,561
never cracks or breaks.
158
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:26,064
Soft to the touch.
159
00:09:26,108 --> 00:09:28,233
- Shirley ain't gonna let
you ever touch nothin'.
160
00:09:28,277 --> 00:09:29,234
'Cept that mop bucket.
161
00:09:29,278 --> 00:09:31,278
- No, she told me.
162
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:32,821
I buy myself a chair and
pass the hair shaping test,
163
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:34,447
I can go pro.
164
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:35,824
Legit.
165
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:37,993
- Shirley ask you to jump,
you gonna say how high?
166
00:09:38,036 --> 00:09:39,619
How far?
167
00:09:39,663 --> 00:09:41,329
Ain't got no backbone.
168
00:09:41,373 --> 00:09:42,664
Shoot.
169
00:09:42,708 --> 00:09:45,709
You gonna stay right as
you is, Shirley's mule.
170
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:46,751
- Hush up.
171
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:48,878
- No, I don't take
orders from you.
172
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:51,298
(snapping)
173
00:09:54,011 --> 00:09:54,843
- Yes.
174
00:09:56,054 --> 00:09:57,220
Yoo hoo.
175
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:59,347
I gotta go, my ten
o'clock just walked in.
176
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:00,515
Bye.
177
00:10:02,144 --> 00:10:04,269
Talk the hair off a coconut.
178
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:05,604
Darlin', let's start our lesson.
179
00:10:05,647 --> 00:10:06,813
- Yes ma'am.
180
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,985
- Note, the downward
angle of my comb.
181
00:10:13,071 --> 00:10:14,404
This is called--
182
00:10:14,448 --> 00:10:16,531
- Back-combing, yes ma'am.
183
00:10:16,575 --> 00:10:19,451
- Now, see how my scissors
184
00:10:19,494 --> 00:10:20,869
go upward.
185
00:10:20,912 --> 00:10:21,661
This is called--
186
00:10:21,705 --> 00:10:22,454
- Feather edge.
187
00:10:22,497 --> 00:10:23,788
Yes ma'am.
188
00:10:23,832 --> 00:10:26,124
- When are you gonna
show me your hair ideas?
189
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:27,876
Final exam's comin'
up on Monday.
190
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:29,127
Needs to meet with my approval.
191
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:30,503
- As soon as I get my nerve up.
192
00:10:30,547 --> 00:10:33,298
- Oh honey, why are you nervous?
193
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:36,134
We're all family here.
194
00:10:42,351 --> 00:10:44,934
You can't let anybody think
you're hungry for somethin'.
195
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:47,020
Let them always
think you're full.
196
00:10:47,064 --> 00:10:50,231
Mabel, are you as
parched as I am?
197
00:10:50,275 --> 00:10:51,775
- Growin' hair on my tongue.
198
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:55,570
- Violet, run over to the
diner and grab us a Crush.
199
00:10:55,614 --> 00:10:57,364
And ask Dee to nuke me a Goober.
200
00:10:57,407 --> 00:10:59,115
When you come back,
201
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,534
we'll talk about that
beauty chair, kay?
202
00:11:01,578 --> 00:11:02,702
- Kay.
203
00:11:02,746 --> 00:11:05,497
- Nobody believes in
you like I do, peanut.
204
00:11:22,265 --> 00:11:24,766
- Ain't none of Washington's
stinkin' business who I hire.
205
00:11:24,810 --> 00:11:26,935
This is a Louisiana bridge.
206
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:28,687
- Yeah, but it's
federally funded
207
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:29,979
and man you know what's up.
208
00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:32,023
You don't hire 'em,
you lose your job.
209
00:11:32,067 --> 00:11:33,858
I'm not a racist.
210
00:11:33,902 --> 00:11:35,819
You know I love coons when
they know their place.
211
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,445
And every time I put
on a cotton shirt,
212
00:11:37,489 --> 00:11:39,823
I say, "Thank you
Lord for the Negros
213
00:11:39,866 --> 00:11:41,866
"that picked this cotton."
214
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:44,869
- Listen, I'm not
lookin' for trouble, OK.
215
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:47,580
I'm just here to enforce the
law and finish the bridge.
216
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:53,128
Hey, I would appreciate
a proper introduction
217
00:11:53,171 --> 00:11:55,296
with your workers before you go.
218
00:11:55,340 --> 00:11:57,757
- You're gonna need all the
introducin' you can get.
219
00:11:57,801 --> 00:12:00,385
Men ain't gonna take
kindly to your getup.
220
00:12:05,684 --> 00:12:08,727
- Hey Jimmie, get those
pipes up on the deck.
221
00:12:12,023 --> 00:12:13,773
Hey cupcake, you need
me to loan you a dollar
222
00:12:13,817 --> 00:12:15,066
for a haircut?
223
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:16,109
- I don't know man.
224
00:12:16,153 --> 00:12:17,986
I wouldn't say
anything if I was you.
225
00:12:18,029 --> 00:12:20,739
Looks like you got a little
hair issues of your own.
226
00:12:20,782 --> 00:12:22,115
- I'll say whatever I want.
227
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,242
- Bud Henry, your
new supervisor.
228
00:12:24,286 --> 00:12:25,535
- Smitty?
229
00:12:25,579 --> 00:12:26,453
What happened?
230
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:27,746
- Thumb suckers in Washington
231
00:12:27,789 --> 00:12:29,581
had to put in their two cents.
232
00:12:29,624 --> 00:12:32,542
Brought in a real expert
for hirin' Negros.
233
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:34,169
- Alright, thank you.
234
00:12:36,381 --> 00:12:37,422
- What the?
235
00:12:37,466 --> 00:12:38,798
- 'Preciate you
given us these jobs.
236
00:12:38,842 --> 00:12:39,924
- [Bud] Oh, my pleasure.
237
00:12:39,968 --> 00:12:40,967
- They can't work here.
238
00:12:41,011 --> 00:12:42,427
- Oh no, don£t mind this gimp.
239
00:12:42,471 --> 00:12:43,928
I can swing a hammer
just as good as any man.
240
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:45,513
- Oh that ain't it.
241
00:12:45,557 --> 00:12:46,639
You're black.
242
00:12:46,683 --> 00:12:49,392
- Oh crap, you're black?
243
00:12:49,436 --> 00:12:51,644
I thought this was
a skin condition.
244
00:12:54,316 --> 00:12:54,939
Just a little joke.
245
00:12:54,983 --> 00:12:56,274
Anyways, OK,
246
00:12:56,318 --> 00:12:58,151
now that we've established
what color we all are,
247
00:12:58,195 --> 00:12:59,152
let's get to work, huh?
248
00:12:59,196 --> 00:13:00,153
Take one of these.
249
00:13:00,197 --> 00:13:00,987
Thank you very much.
250
00:13:01,031 --> 00:13:01,946
- [Worker] Thank you.
251
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:03,239
Alright.
252
00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:10,997
- Look I don't want to
cause you any problem
253
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:14,125
but if it's alright
by you, we'll just go.
254
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:15,585
- What? No, no, no, no.
255
00:13:15,629 --> 00:13:17,879
- You can't treat 'em
like they're equal, boss.
256
00:13:17,923 --> 00:13:19,380
That ain't how we flow here.
257
00:13:19,424 --> 00:13:20,507
- How we supposed to treat 'em?
258
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:22,133
- You don't hire 'em.
259
00:13:22,177 --> 00:13:24,010
You go by our rules.
260
00:13:24,054 --> 00:13:26,262
Or that bridge won't get done.
261
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:29,516
- Look, I assure you
that bridge will get done
262
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,642
so why don't you
just help me out
263
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:33,102
or I'm gonna find
some folks who will?
264
00:13:38,902 --> 00:13:41,402
- The
1977 new Chevrolet--
265
00:13:41,446 --> 00:13:43,863
- One nuked Goober and a Crush.
266
00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:46,449
No bottles in the
trash today, hon.
267
00:13:48,119 --> 00:13:50,995
(coughing)
268
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:52,288
- Ms. Dee?
269
00:13:56,586 --> 00:13:57,877
- Eugene, honey?
270
00:13:57,921 --> 00:14:00,255
If I wasn't working,
271
00:14:00,298 --> 00:14:02,590
you would not be safe.
272
00:14:02,634 --> 00:14:04,175
- Acting like she don't see me
273
00:14:04,261 --> 00:14:05,343
when I know she did.
274
00:14:05,387 --> 00:14:06,678
- Mhmm.
275
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:13,977
- Roots, the event
of the year, premiers Sunday.
276
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:25,321
- Watch your step.
277
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:27,282
Got cat eyes?
278
00:14:27,325 --> 00:14:29,909
I can't see in the dark.
279
00:14:29,953 --> 00:14:31,536
Oh I see another one.
280
00:14:35,625 --> 00:14:36,583
Yeah.
281
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:44,340
(engine roaring)
282
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:51,306
- You ever think about mama?
283
00:14:51,349 --> 00:14:53,057
Where she is?
284
00:14:53,101 --> 00:14:54,601
- I try hard not to.
285
00:14:55,979 --> 00:14:57,979
- Maybe she's in jail.
286
00:14:58,023 --> 00:14:59,814
And maybe,
287
00:14:59,858 --> 00:15:02,650
she got run over by a trucker.
288
00:15:02,694 --> 00:15:04,903
- And maybe she
ran off with one.
289
00:15:09,034 --> 00:15:12,493
I warned her, a man
is like a blizzard.
290
00:15:12,537 --> 00:15:14,454
- How's a man like a blizzard?
291
00:15:14,497 --> 00:15:15,914
- You never know
when he's gonna come
292
00:15:15,957 --> 00:15:18,833
or how long he'll last,
293
00:15:18,877 --> 00:15:21,085
or there's one other thing,
294
00:15:21,129 --> 00:15:23,671
but it's been so long
since I've seen a Peter.
295
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:31,179
She'd be real proud of ya.
296
00:15:32,182 --> 00:15:34,390
A certified beautician.
297
00:15:35,810 --> 00:15:37,268
Real proud.
298
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:40,563
- What if Shirley
doesn't like my designs?
299
00:15:40,607 --> 00:15:42,941
- Oh, Shirley ain't Moses.
300
00:15:44,194 --> 00:15:47,070
Now you have a gift for hair.
301
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:49,572
Don't you let her
tell you otherwise.
302
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:55,203
- Does that mean you'll
let me take your wig off
303
00:15:55,246 --> 00:15:57,205
and give you a foxy look?
304
00:15:57,248 --> 00:15:59,916
- Well I'll tell you what.
305
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,460
You let me get rid of
some of this weight,
306
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:07,590
and that'll be my reward.
307
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:10,134
(laughing)
308
00:16:18,770 --> 00:16:21,354
(footsteps)
309
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,565
(horn honking)
310
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:36,953
- Sweet Jesus, I love it.
311
00:16:36,997 --> 00:16:40,123
- Dial down the color
before you blind somebody.
312
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:41,749
- This isn't what
Violet ordered.
313
00:16:41,793 --> 00:16:44,669
A person works her way
up to a chair like this.
314
00:16:44,713 --> 00:16:46,879
- Well, lady said since
it was you Ms. Shirley,
315
00:16:46,923 --> 00:16:48,673
she gave Violet an upgrade.
316
00:16:48,717 --> 00:16:50,591
- Oh, well, I--
317
00:16:52,303 --> 00:16:55,304
I don't know how that's
gonna look to people.
318
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:58,808
You havin' a better
chair than me.
319
00:16:58,852 --> 00:17:01,519
And the pump on mine's
not even pumpin'.
320
00:17:01,563 --> 00:17:02,687
But, don't you worry about me.
321
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:04,647
I'll just bend over.
322
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:05,690
- Oh.
323
00:17:07,861 --> 00:17:11,195
- Perhaps I could use your
chair just until mine's fixed?
324
00:17:11,239 --> 00:17:15,324
You haven't even passed the
hair shapin' test yet anyway.
325
00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:20,163
- I'd be honored if
you'd use my chair.
326
00:17:20,206 --> 00:17:22,540
- Joe, take that old
chair to the dump.
327
00:17:22,584 --> 00:17:24,417
- Until Monday.
328
00:17:24,461 --> 00:17:26,586
- Why are you
always so obedient?
329
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:27,920
Are you a house
pet or something?
330
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:29,464
- I get my chair
back after the test.
331
00:17:29,507 --> 00:17:30,465
- Mmmhmm.
332
00:17:30,508 --> 00:17:31,674
- I will.
333
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:38,056
- Well, good luck
to you, Ms. Violet.
334
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:39,474
- Thank you.
335
00:17:40,643 --> 00:17:42,477
- Time to lock up
now, sweet pea.
336
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,853
- Oh, I just want
to look at my chair
337
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:44,979
a wee bit longer.
338
00:17:45,023 --> 00:17:46,481
(laughing)
339
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:48,441
- You just take
your time, darlin'.
340
00:17:48,485 --> 00:17:50,693
Look at your new
chair all you want.
341
00:17:52,947 --> 00:17:54,822
That's long enough.
342
00:18:11,216 --> 00:18:14,092
(birds chirping)
343
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:20,348
- Seat patrons how?
344
00:18:20,391 --> 00:18:21,599
- Comfortably.
345
00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:24,060
- And then?
346
00:18:24,104 --> 00:18:26,187
- Wash and sanitize hands.
347
00:18:27,524 --> 00:18:28,856
(church bell ringing)
348
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:32,110
- When is
pre-softening required?
349
00:18:32,153 --> 00:18:34,612
- When hair is
resistant to color.
350
00:18:34,656 --> 00:18:35,738
- Bingo.
351
00:18:37,492 --> 00:18:38,908
(church organ playing)
352
00:18:44,499 --> 00:18:46,958
- Let us all rise for
the call and response.
353
00:18:47,001 --> 00:18:49,168
Page 291 in your hymnals,
354
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:52,672
led today by our Lottie
Moon chair, Shirley Weaver.
355
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:56,843
- Holy, holy, holy,
356
00:18:56,886 --> 00:18:58,970
the Lord God is with us.
357
00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:01,430
- [Congregation] Let us
give thanks and praise.
358
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:03,307
- What common
diseases would prevent
359
00:19:03,351 --> 00:19:05,560
a cosmetologist from working?
360
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:07,687
- The Earth is
full of his glory.
361
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:09,313
- [Congregation]
Thanks be to God.
362
00:19:09,357 --> 00:19:11,649
- TB, ringworm,
scabies, and head lice.
363
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:13,609
- Let us lift up our hearts.
364
00:19:13,653 --> 00:19:15,570
- [Congregation] We
lift them up Lord.
365
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:18,322
- What two things must
the cosmetologist avoid?
366
00:19:18,366 --> 00:19:20,700
- And be thankful for his grace.
367
00:19:20,743 --> 00:19:23,119
- Bad breath and body odor!
368
00:19:24,164 --> 00:19:25,538
- Amen.
369
00:19:25,582 --> 00:19:26,914
- [Congregation] Amen.
370
00:19:29,419 --> 00:19:32,670
- Darlin', you are ready to
advance to the hair cuttin'.
371
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,760
- You're it.
372
00:19:39,804 --> 00:19:41,971
(children laughing, chattering)
373
00:19:42,015 --> 00:19:43,139
- Roots is on!
374
00:19:43,183 --> 00:19:44,682
(tapping)
375
00:19:44,726 --> 00:19:46,058
Roots is on!
376
00:19:50,899 --> 00:19:53,357
- Now this one sits pretty
good when I add the phone book.
377
00:19:53,401 --> 00:19:54,817
- It better.
378
00:19:54,861 --> 00:19:57,111
You know, Roots gonna be on
for eight straight nights.
379
00:19:57,155 --> 00:19:58,738
Lord, I never seen
so many black people
380
00:19:58,781 --> 00:20:00,573
on TV at one time.
381
00:20:02,493 --> 00:20:04,410
(tapping)
382
00:20:07,749 --> 00:20:09,749
- Tonight,
we present a landmark
383
00:20:09,792 --> 00:20:11,918
in television entertainment.
384
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:14,712
Roots, the true story
Alex Haley uncovered
385
00:20:14,756 --> 00:20:16,339
in his search across
the seven generations
386
00:20:16,382 --> 00:20:18,257
of his ancestry.
387
00:20:18,301 --> 00:20:20,343
From primitive Africa
to the old South.
388
00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:23,095
- I seen Africa in
the encyclopedia
389
00:20:23,139 --> 00:20:25,806
they was givin' away with
a five dollar purchase,
390
00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:29,685
but I took the
gravy boat instead.
391
00:20:29,854 --> 00:20:32,271
- Now, we
are proud to present
392
00:20:32,315 --> 00:20:35,775
the triumph of an
American family, Roots.
393
00:20:37,862 --> 00:20:41,781
(lively tribal singing)
394
00:20:50,917 --> 00:20:52,875
- Where in hell's Baretta?
395
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,379
(bouncy tribal
singing and music)
396
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:11,727
- Up all night.
397
00:21:11,771 --> 00:21:14,230
Couldn't sleep.
398
00:21:14,274 --> 00:21:16,941
I ain't never seen nothin'
like that on TV before.
399
00:21:18,027 --> 00:21:20,361
I mean, I read about
it in the book,
400
00:21:20,405 --> 00:21:22,738
but still when you see
that thing in color,
401
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:26,450
shhh, whole 'nother story.
402
00:21:27,745 --> 00:21:29,120
You know they pack
them folk up in there
403
00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:30,705
like they was hogs on
their way to the slaughter
404
00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:32,832
in the belly of that ship?
405
00:21:35,003 --> 00:21:36,752
Felt so real, I
felt like I could
406
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:38,087
smell them bodies.
407
00:21:39,507 --> 00:21:40,881
Felt so real, I felt like
I could smell that misery
408
00:21:40,925 --> 00:21:42,425
on that ship.
409
00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:44,510
- Do you have any idea
what those pigeons
410
00:21:44,554 --> 00:21:46,429
are doin' to Jesus?
411
00:21:46,472 --> 00:21:48,139
Poopin' all over him.
412
00:21:49,058 --> 00:21:50,808
We're meeting at the Parsonage
413
00:21:50,852 --> 00:21:52,184
to discuss what to do about it.
414
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:53,894
I'll be back in an hour.
415
00:21:53,938 --> 00:21:56,605
Then, we'll head on over
to Baton Rouge, the exam.
416
00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:59,025
- Every time I turn around
it's like they bleachin'
417
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:01,110
out Jesus white.
418
00:22:01,154 --> 00:22:02,695
- You gotta problem with that?
419
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:07,116
- Ma'am?
420
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,076
- Have you got any hard
candy or chewin' gum?
421
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:10,161
- No ma'am.
422
00:22:13,875 --> 00:22:16,459
Before you go, could you
approve my hair sketch?
423
00:22:16,502 --> 00:22:20,046
- Oh Violet, I'd love to.
424
00:22:28,097 --> 00:22:31,390
Violet, I never asked you this
425
00:22:31,434 --> 00:22:33,476
because I'd assumed
you'd read this.
426
00:22:36,564 --> 00:22:39,065
His son bled and died for you.
427
00:22:39,108 --> 00:22:41,400
Don't you think he sees this?
428
00:22:41,444 --> 00:22:43,527
Don't you think he's saddened?
429
00:22:43,571 --> 00:22:46,155
No, sickened by this.
430
00:22:46,199 --> 00:22:47,907
- I'm sorry.
431
00:22:49,452 --> 00:22:51,369
I really never meant to offend.
432
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:53,037
- I think it look good.
433
00:22:55,124 --> 00:22:56,916
- Is that my good glass?
434
00:22:57,126 --> 00:23:00,002
Get you one of those jelly jars.
435
00:23:03,383 --> 00:23:06,550
- You know my ancestors were
African kings and queens?
436
00:23:06,594 --> 00:23:08,469
Now royalty don't drink
out of jelly jars.
437
00:23:08,513 --> 00:23:10,346
- Your mama was jacked
up on Thunderbird.
438
00:23:10,390 --> 00:23:12,890
She was certified crazy.
439
00:23:12,934 --> 00:23:14,266
- Yeah no wonder she went crazy
440
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:17,436
'cause she was a queen who
was given a push broom.
441
00:23:17,522 --> 00:23:19,814
- We will continue
this black and angry
442
00:23:19,857 --> 00:23:21,232
conversation when
you're off the clock.
443
00:23:21,275 --> 00:23:23,776
Now, put my good glass back.
444
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:34,203
Remember, you work
at my pleasure.
445
00:23:34,247 --> 00:23:36,330
When you do the job I
think you should do,
446
00:23:36,374 --> 00:23:38,290
then you get to keep that job.
447
00:23:39,836 --> 00:23:41,585
Violet, this won't do.
448
00:23:43,589 --> 00:23:45,714
I will be back in an hour.
449
00:23:54,684 --> 00:23:57,935
- No, now don't you let
that wind bag rattle you.
450
00:23:58,229 --> 00:24:01,730
That hairdo, that's sexy.
451
00:24:01,774 --> 00:24:03,190
Even Helen Keller
could see that.
452
00:24:03,234 --> 00:24:06,652
- No, no, she's certified.
453
00:24:07,697 --> 00:24:09,113
She's the expert.
454
00:24:09,157 --> 00:24:10,781
- Well I might not got no PhD
455
00:24:10,825 --> 00:24:13,868
behind my name, but I
know what an artist is,
456
00:24:13,911 --> 00:24:16,495
and Violet, you is an artist.
457
00:24:16,539 --> 00:24:18,622
- Pullin' my leg?
458
00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:20,332
Please don't be pullin' my leg.
459
00:24:21,711 --> 00:24:23,335
- I don't pull legs.
460
00:24:23,379 --> 00:24:25,296
You need some swagger.
461
00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:29,675
A little self belief.
462
00:24:31,596 --> 00:24:33,846
Talk to me about
some good glass.
463
00:24:33,890 --> 00:24:35,931
What the hell about good glass?
464
00:24:37,685 --> 00:24:39,602
Hairstyle all crazy.
465
00:24:44,567 --> 00:24:47,943
- Hey, do you know where
I could find the Sheriff?
466
00:24:47,987 --> 00:24:49,195
- Do you see that big gold
sign down by the Town Hall
467
00:24:49,238 --> 00:24:50,779
that say Sheriff?
468
00:24:51,866 --> 00:24:54,617
- Yes, the big sign.
469
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:57,828
- And why you got
Dutch boy shoes on?
470
00:24:59,373 --> 00:25:00,372
- They're clogs.
471
00:25:00,416 --> 00:25:01,415
- Oh.
472
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:02,500
Well they funny.
473
00:25:02,543 --> 00:25:03,375
- Thank you.
474
00:25:03,419 --> 00:25:04,627
- Not haha funny.
475
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:05,628
- Oh.
476
00:25:06,672 --> 00:25:07,838
I'm Bud by the way.
477
00:25:07,882 --> 00:25:09,215
- And where you from, Bud?
478
00:25:09,258 --> 00:25:10,591
- I am from Boston.
479
00:25:12,303 --> 00:25:13,928
Do I look out of
place or somethin'?
480
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:15,554
- Well you clearly
aren't from around here.
481
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:17,681
Shit, your shirt's
so past this time
482
00:25:17,725 --> 00:25:19,016
even for this two bit town,
483
00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:21,310
and everything here
about ten years behind.
484
00:25:21,354 --> 00:25:21,936
- Okay.
485
00:25:22,021 --> 00:25:23,312
Ahh!
486
00:25:23,356 --> 00:25:24,355
- Oh, you hurt?
487
00:25:24,398 --> 00:25:25,731
- No, I'm fine, I'm cool.
488
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:29,151
(moaning)
489
00:25:31,405 --> 00:25:32,363
Thanks sunshine.
490
00:25:32,406 --> 00:25:33,906
I use this hand a lot.
491
00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:36,367
Not like that.
492
00:25:36,410 --> 00:25:37,409
No, no, no, God no.
493
00:25:37,453 --> 00:25:38,786
Not like that.
494
00:25:39,705 --> 00:25:40,704
I mean I do.
495
00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:42,331
I do, everyone does,
496
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:44,166
because it's natural.
497
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:46,001
Women do it too.
498
00:25:46,337 --> 00:25:47,795
It makes you feel like
you're giving a little
499
00:25:47,838 --> 00:25:49,421
present to yourself.
500
00:25:51,050 --> 00:25:56,178
I am not saying that
you do though, so...
501
00:25:57,473 --> 00:25:58,556
I should probably book.
502
00:25:58,599 --> 00:25:59,598
- [Pearl] Need
directions for the door?
503
00:25:59,642 --> 00:26:01,517
- No, thank you.
504
00:26:03,688 --> 00:26:04,728
- Ms. Clara?
505
00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:07,856
- Where's Shirley?
506
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:10,651
- Over at the church discussin'
the bird droppins on Jesus.
507
00:26:10,695 --> 00:26:11,527
- Shit.
508
00:26:12,655 --> 00:26:13,696
Shit.
509
00:26:15,575 --> 00:26:17,783
You know those home
permanent kits?
510
00:26:17,827 --> 00:26:19,660
The ones with Cheryl
Tiegs on the cover?
511
00:26:19,704 --> 00:26:20,869
- Mhmm.
512
00:26:24,333 --> 00:26:27,876
- Glory hallelujah.
513
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:28,877
- When's she back?
514
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:29,753
- She's gonna be
back in an hour.
515
00:26:29,797 --> 00:26:30,296
- What?
516
00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:31,463
- In an hour.
517
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:34,049
- Fuzzy is takin' me
on vacation to Biloxi.
518
00:26:34,093 --> 00:26:36,260
You gotta do somethin'
before he sees me.
519
00:26:36,304 --> 00:26:37,136
Now!
520
00:26:37,179 --> 00:26:37,845
- Don't you worry, Ms. Clara.
521
00:26:37,888 --> 00:26:38,971
I'll get her.
522
00:27:07,877 --> 00:27:11,962
(giggling, flirty laughs)
523
00:27:28,689 --> 00:27:30,522
- [Sheriff] You ready
for some sausage?
524
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:31,940
(moaning, laughing)
525
00:27:31,984 --> 00:27:32,441
Oh yeah.
- Ohh.
526
00:27:32,485 --> 00:27:36,820
(moaning)
527
00:27:40,660 --> 00:27:41,825
(thudding)
528
00:27:43,162 --> 00:27:44,578
- I know you ain't used
to somethin' like this,
529
00:27:44,622 --> 00:27:46,205
but it look good.
530
00:27:46,248 --> 00:27:48,082
She been to that beauty college.
531
00:27:48,125 --> 00:27:50,209
She know what she doin--
532
00:27:50,252 --> 00:27:51,126
- Violet, please.
533
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:52,878
You gotta save my hair.
534
00:27:55,633 --> 00:27:57,216
- What?
535
00:27:57,343 --> 00:27:59,426
No, I couldn't.
536
00:27:59,470 --> 00:28:00,761
Not without
Shirley's permission.
537
00:28:01,555 --> 00:28:03,430
- Then, I'll do it myself.
538
00:28:03,474 --> 00:28:05,474
(mumbling)
539
00:28:06,435 --> 00:28:08,102
- What is wrong with you?
540
00:28:08,145 --> 00:28:10,771
Spin those trainin'

541
00:28:16,112 --> 00:28:17,069

542
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:18,278
- Yeah.
543
00:28:22,535 --> 00:28:24,493
You in good hands.

00:29:00,656 --> 00:29:02,906
(blow dryer whirring)
554
00:29:08,372 --> 00:29:11,623
- Taaaaa daaa.
555
00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:13,792
What do you think?
556
00:29:13,836 --> 00:29:16,587
- Uh, Jesus I don't
know what to think.
557
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:18,547
It's just so new.
558
00:29:18,591 --> 00:29:20,758
(door bell ringing)
559
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,105
- That's 100%
improvement already.
560
00:29:35,149 --> 00:29:36,315
- Fix it.
561
00:29:36,358 --> 00:29:38,233
Fix it, Shirley,
before Fuzzy sees me.
562
00:29:38,277 --> 00:29:40,152
- Don't you worry, Clara.
563
00:29:40,196 --> 00:29:43,322
I'm gon' save you
like I always do.
564
00:29:46,869 --> 00:29:48,160
(door bell ringing)
565
00:29:48,204 --> 00:29:49,077
- Alright, I got the liquor.
566
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:50,537
Let's hit that ro--
567
00:29:50,581 --> 00:29:52,956
- Fuzzy, I can explain.
568
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:53,999
- Jesus.
569
00:29:55,002 --> 00:29:57,211
Goodbye Betty Ford.
570
00:29:57,338 --> 00:30:00,214
Hello Angie Dickinson.
571
00:30:00,257 --> 00:30:03,091
(laughing)
572
00:30:07,598 --> 00:30:09,848
- [Clara] Bye now, thank you.
573
00:30:11,143 --> 00:30:13,519
- I look forward to
seein' our replacements.
574
00:30:13,562 --> 00:30:16,355
- They'll be lined
up out the door.
575
00:30:18,442 --> 00:30:19,566
- Can I have my chair back?
576
00:30:19,610 --> 00:30:22,110
- Possession is
nine-tenths of the law.
577
00:30:30,412 --> 00:30:33,997
(birds chirping)
578
00:30:34,041 --> 00:30:37,251
(footsteps, crying)
579
00:30:38,546 --> 00:30:39,461
- What is it honey?
580
00:30:39,505 --> 00:30:41,213
- Memaw, I let you down.
581
00:30:41,257 --> 00:30:42,297
- You forgot my Kools?
582
00:30:42,341 --> 00:30:46,468
- No, I got f-f-f--
583
00:30:46,512 --> 00:30:47,219
- You did not.
584
00:30:47,263 --> 00:30:48,846
- I did so.
585
00:30:48,889 --> 00:30:50,931
- What in Sam Hill happened?
586
00:30:53,644 --> 00:30:57,271
- Clara, she came
into the shop all...
587
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:58,522
- Yeah.
588
00:30:58,566 --> 00:31:01,108
- And so I went to
get Ms. Shirley,
589
00:31:01,151 --> 00:31:05,237
and she and the Sheriff were...
590
00:31:08,659 --> 00:31:09,700
- Shit.
591
00:31:09,743 --> 00:31:12,160
- And I did Ms.
Clara's hair myself.
592
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:14,538
And then I got fired.
593
00:31:14,582 --> 00:31:16,748
- Thank you Jesus.
594
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:19,334
Free at last.
595
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:20,294
- What?
596
00:31:20,337 --> 00:31:21,837
- This is opportunity knockin'.
597
00:31:21,881 --> 00:31:24,006
Bloom where planted.
598
00:31:25,134 --> 00:31:27,509
You start your own shop.
599
00:31:27,553 --> 00:31:28,802
- Like with flowers on the walls
600
00:31:28,846 --> 00:31:30,971
and my own customized
beauty box.
601
00:31:31,015 --> 00:31:31,889
- Yes, yes.
602
00:31:31,932 --> 00:31:34,224
- Where I can do my own stylish
603
00:31:34,268 --> 00:31:36,643
and exotic kind of hairdos.
604
00:31:37,897 --> 00:31:39,438
That's crazy talk.
605
00:31:39,481 --> 00:31:41,106
- Well, maybe it is
and maybe it ain't.
606
00:31:41,150 --> 00:31:43,483
But don't lie down like a baby.
607
00:31:45,571 --> 00:31:48,363
You are a flower Violet.
608
00:31:48,449 --> 00:31:49,573
Now you bloom.
609
00:31:50,451 --> 00:31:51,950
Tell you what,
610
00:31:51,994 --> 00:31:54,745
I'm gonna let you do my hair.
611
00:31:54,788 --> 00:31:55,829
- You will?
612
00:31:55,873 --> 00:31:59,333
- Yeah, yes.
613
00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:02,085
If I don't believe
in you, who will?
614
00:32:02,129 --> 00:32:03,253
(laughing)
615
00:32:03,297 --> 00:32:04,796
Yes indeedy.
616
00:32:07,051 --> 00:32:09,217
Let me go take off
this nasty wig.
617
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,604
- My own shop.
618
00:32:21,565 --> 00:32:22,731
That's a joke.
619
00:32:26,654 --> 00:32:27,861
You were just funnin' with me,
620
00:32:27,905 --> 00:32:30,697
weren't ya Memaw?
621
00:32:30,741 --> 00:32:31,698
Aren't ya?
622
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:34,409
Memaw?
623
00:32:34,453 --> 00:32:35,702
(thudding fall)
624
00:32:41,335 --> 00:32:42,709
Memaw!
625
00:32:48,425 --> 00:32:52,386
- After the eulogy,
hymns are optional,
626
00:32:52,429 --> 00:32:55,305
but they do allow time for
the casket to be pushed.
627
00:32:59,478 --> 00:33:01,019
- What's she doin' here?
628
00:33:01,063 --> 00:33:03,105
-(whispering) I don't know what
that colored girl's doin' here.
629
00:33:14,368 --> 00:33:17,619
(sobbing)
630
00:33:17,663 --> 00:33:20,414
- What am I gonna do?
631
00:33:22,584 --> 00:33:24,584
What am gonna do
about Memaw's hair?
632
00:33:29,258 --> 00:33:32,134
- I never knew Memaw
was so beautiful.
633
00:33:32,219 --> 00:33:34,386
- My gosh her hair is so soft.
634
00:33:37,182 --> 00:33:37,931
Oh, Shirley.
635
00:33:37,975 --> 00:33:38,849
- Shirley.
636
00:33:38,892 --> 00:33:39,808
- She looks so--
637
00:33:39,852 --> 00:33:40,684
- So--
638
00:33:40,728 --> 00:33:42,936
- So, it's your best work yet.
639
00:33:44,273 --> 00:33:46,606
- I have never seen
anything like it.
640
00:33:46,650 --> 00:33:50,902
How could somebody look
so much better all dead?
641
00:33:50,946 --> 00:33:52,654
- Honey, it's time to go.
642
00:34:02,624 --> 00:34:06,626
(birds chirping, squawking)
643
00:34:09,173 --> 00:34:13,341
(chairs creaking)
644
00:34:35,657 --> 00:34:38,033
(train horn blowing)
645
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:47,167
- I heard about your
loss, I'm sorry.
646
00:34:47,211 --> 00:34:48,585
Real sorry.
647
00:34:48,629 --> 00:34:49,836
- Thank you.
648
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,047
- You wanna share my lunch?
649
00:34:52,091 --> 00:34:55,509
- I think I just
need to be solo.
650
00:34:55,552 --> 00:34:57,135
My nerves are just shot.
651
00:34:57,179 --> 00:34:58,762
- That's understandable.
652
00:35:00,015 --> 00:35:02,390
Well if you need
someone to talk to,
653
00:35:02,476 --> 00:35:04,476
I understand loss.
654
00:35:05,938 --> 00:35:06,812
My parents are divorced
655
00:35:06,855 --> 00:35:08,730
and I was in 'Nam, so...
656
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,443
It was good to see you.
657
00:35:34,591 --> 00:35:38,051
(wind whirring)
658
00:35:44,184 --> 00:35:45,642
- Could I ask you something?
659
00:35:45,686 --> 00:35:47,102
- Are you tryin' to
give me a conniption?
660
00:35:47,146 --> 00:35:48,228
- Sorry.
661
00:35:48,272 --> 00:35:49,729
- And when the hell
you start smokin'?
662
00:35:49,773 --> 00:35:51,064
- Oh, I haven't.
663
00:35:51,108 --> 00:35:52,858
I just hold it in my mouth.
664
00:35:52,901 --> 00:35:55,527
It's all I got left of Memaw.
665
00:35:55,571 --> 00:35:57,195
I don't light it.
666
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,780
If I light it then
she'd be gone.
667
00:35:58,824 --> 00:36:00,031
- What'd she smoke?
668
00:36:00,117 --> 00:36:01,658
- Kools.
669
00:36:01,702 --> 00:36:03,535
They kind of minty.
670
00:36:03,579 --> 00:36:06,496
But, this one's
gettin' a little soggy.
671
00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:08,707
It sticks to my lips.
672
00:36:10,127 --> 00:36:11,835
- Damn.
673
00:36:11,879 --> 00:36:13,837
You got it bad, kid.
674
00:36:15,924 --> 00:36:18,175
- Do you believe in signs?
675
00:36:18,218 --> 00:36:20,385
- Like no trespassin'
and boiled peanuts.
676
00:36:20,429 --> 00:36:23,680
- No, no, I saw a hairdo.
677
00:36:23,724 --> 00:36:25,473
In the clouds.
678
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:27,642
I think it was a
sign from Memaw.
679
00:36:27,686 --> 00:36:29,144
- To do what?
680
00:36:29,188 --> 00:36:30,937
- Custom-fitted hair.
681
00:36:30,981 --> 00:36:34,107
Styled to the person
right in my own shop.
682
00:36:34,151 --> 00:36:36,693
- Sweet baby Jesus and
cousin Beulah in heaven,
683
00:36:36,737 --> 00:36:40,780
I was thinkin' the same thing.
684
00:36:42,826 --> 00:36:43,658
- When are they gonna
show all the good stuff
685
00:36:43,702 --> 00:36:45,202
we did for 'em.
686
00:36:45,245 --> 00:36:48,955
- My great-great granddaddy
owned half this town.
687
00:36:48,999 --> 00:36:50,123
He was a prominent
planter with a lovely
688
00:36:50,167 --> 00:36:53,001
plantation, 120 slaves.
689
00:36:53,045 --> 00:36:55,879
His slaves were happy.
690
00:36:55,923 --> 00:36:57,631
He told me they would sing,
691
00:36:57,674 --> 00:37:00,091
sing in the fields.
692
00:37:00,135 --> 00:37:03,345
Yes, my family were always
kind to the coloreds.
693
00:37:03,388 --> 00:37:04,888
Even after the loss.
694
00:37:04,932 --> 00:37:06,556
- Where does this go?
695
00:37:12,773 --> 00:37:13,563
- Shirley, before you tease,
696
00:37:13,607 --> 00:37:15,941
I have a request.
697
00:37:15,984 --> 00:37:17,108
Let's see, where did I put it?
698
00:37:17,152 --> 00:37:18,568
Here it is.
699
00:37:20,572 --> 00:37:23,156
I snuck back in after
the viewing to take this.
700
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,700
In my humble opinion,
it is by far,
701
00:37:25,744 --> 00:37:28,787
hands down your biggest triumph.
702
00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:31,081
Can you do the exact same on me?
703
00:37:31,124 --> 00:37:33,083
- Oh really?
704
00:37:33,126 --> 00:37:34,751
You like this?
705
00:37:36,964 --> 00:37:39,005
I call this my casket spray.
706
00:37:40,384 --> 00:37:43,051
This hairstyle is only
reserved for the dead.
707
00:37:49,851 --> 00:37:52,310
- Oyster inside the clam shell.
708
00:37:52,354 --> 00:37:54,688
And at $45 a month.
709
00:37:54,731 --> 00:37:56,606
- How many times
I gotta tell 'em,
710
00:37:56,650 --> 00:37:58,275
it's cracker with a C.
711
00:37:58,318 --> 00:37:59,901
- What do you think?
712
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:03,780
- Crazy fool, I wouldn't work
in this broke down place.
713
00:38:03,824 --> 00:38:06,157
There's five coats of
paint on the window.
714
00:38:06,201 --> 00:38:07,284
We gonna see a woman on the moon
715
00:38:07,327 --> 00:38:08,326
before we ever see the sun.
716
00:38:08,370 --> 00:38:09,703
- We could do some scrubbin'.
717
00:38:09,746 --> 00:38:11,871
- You and who?
718
00:38:11,915 --> 00:38:13,623
- Have a sign outside.
719
00:38:14,584 --> 00:38:16,126
With both of our names.
720
00:38:24,594 --> 00:38:26,469
- Alright.
721
00:38:26,513 --> 00:38:28,930
Now how you see me fittin' in?
722
00:38:28,974 --> 00:38:30,557
- What could you do?
723
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,975
- Well.
724
00:38:33,186 --> 00:38:34,686
I mean ain't no artist like you,
725
00:38:34,730 --> 00:38:37,897
but I can boss.
726
00:38:37,941 --> 00:38:40,400
And I got a business sense.
727
00:38:40,444 --> 00:38:43,570
An expertise, which
you are sorely lacking.
728
00:38:45,449 --> 00:38:49,242
Think of it like, where would
Elvis be without the Colonel?
729
00:38:49,286 --> 00:38:51,369
- What else you got?
730
00:38:59,046 --> 00:39:00,378
- Where'd you get all this?
731
00:39:00,422 --> 00:39:02,714
- Washin' clothes
for white folk.
732
00:39:02,758 --> 00:39:05,216
Savin' up to go to college.
733
00:39:05,260 --> 00:39:06,968
Law school so I can
become a lawyer.
734
00:39:07,012 --> 00:39:08,011
- A lawyer?
735
00:39:08,055 --> 00:39:10,430
- Yeah, like the
black Perry Mason.
736
00:39:12,184 --> 00:39:13,516
- What?
737
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:14,642
You think scrubbin'
white folk's bloomers
738
00:39:14,686 --> 00:39:16,311
was my dream?
739
00:39:18,065 --> 00:39:19,022
What you got?
740
00:39:21,651 --> 00:39:24,110
Girl, that's it?
741
00:39:24,363 --> 00:39:28,531
- Smilie, would you
take seven-fifty?
742
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:31,993
OK, I understand.
743
00:39:32,037 --> 00:39:33,870
- No, don't move.
744
00:39:33,914 --> 00:39:37,957
Smilie, seven-fifty
gonna get us how long?
745
00:39:39,503 --> 00:39:41,002
- 'Bout five days.
746
00:39:45,967 --> 00:39:49,469
- Here's what, we gonna
charge four-fifty a head,
747
00:39:49,513 --> 00:39:54,224
and that'll take us ten
hairdos to make the $45.
748
00:39:54,267 --> 00:39:55,975
- Plenty of bad
hair in this town.
749
00:39:56,019 --> 00:39:57,852
- Don't I know it.
750
00:39:57,896 --> 00:40:01,981
But if we fail, and I
lose my Ironside money...
751
00:40:07,155 --> 00:40:09,823
Smilie, what's your verdict?
752
00:40:09,866 --> 00:40:11,241
- I'l take your seven-fifty,
753
00:40:11,284 --> 00:40:12,659
but come Monday, you gotta have
754
00:40:12,702 --> 00:40:14,619

755
00:40:15,997 --> 00:40:18,790

792

we gotta decorate before
the grand openin' tomorrow.
794
00:42:29,798 --> 00:42:32,090

- Yep.
836
00:44:38,885 --> 00:44:41,219
She could down a whole
hot dog in one bite.
837
00:44:41,304 --> 00:44:43,346
Before she passed.
838
00:44:43,431 --> 00:44:45,098
- But what about your mom?
839
00:44:45,141 --> 00:44:47,058
- Don't talk about her.
840
00:44:48,561 --> 00:44:49,143
- That's cool, we all have our--
841
00:44:49,187 --> 00:44:50,853
- She skipped out.
842
00:44:50,897 --> 00:44:52,605
Just didn't say goodbye.
843
00:44:52,691 --> 00:44:56,275
Just gone.
844
00:44:56,319 --> 00:44:57,318
- Ouch.
845
00:44:57,362 --> 00:44:58,361
- It's alright.
846
00:44:58,405 --> 00:45:00,446
People leave things.
847
00:45:00,490 --> 00:45:02,573
Socks get left in the dryer bin.
848
00:45:02,617 --> 00:45:03,908
Puppies get left.
849
00:45:03,952 --> 00:45:04,951
Jesus was left.
850
00:45:06,913 --> 00:45:07,745
- And your dad?
851
00:45:07,789 --> 00:45:09,706
- I never met him.
852
00:45:09,749 --> 00:45:14,210
But, mama probably ran
off to be with him.
853
00:45:15,964 --> 00:45:17,213
Your parents are divorced?
854
00:45:17,298 --> 00:45:18,464
- Mhmm.
855
00:45:18,591 --> 00:45:21,718
Thought they had a
happy marriage, but eh.
856
00:45:23,972 --> 00:45:25,722
One day my dad started
looking like the Hunch back,
857
00:45:25,765 --> 00:45:26,973
and then my mom would ask him
858
00:45:27,016 --> 00:45:28,266
to straighten up and he would,
859
00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:32,061
and 15 minutes later,
he'd be back to hunchin'.
860
00:45:32,105 --> 00:45:33,688
And then she started
chain smoking,
861
00:45:33,732 --> 00:45:36,190
and she shaved her head
862
00:45:36,234 --> 00:45:38,276
and she moved in with
her friend Carol.
863
00:45:40,572 --> 00:45:43,322
It's cool, I don't know.
864
00:45:43,366 --> 00:45:44,323
- You got any pets?
865
00:45:44,367 --> 00:45:45,658
- Not anymore.
866
00:45:45,702 --> 00:45:48,119
- Not even a little
fish or a guinea pig?
867
00:45:48,163 --> 00:45:51,748
- No, I move around a lot so--
868
00:45:51,791 --> 00:45:53,207
- Did you ever think
about stayin' in one place
869
00:45:53,251 --> 00:45:54,959
and puttin' down roots?
870
00:45:55,003 --> 00:45:57,044
- I don't know, why?
871
00:45:58,089 --> 00:46:00,923
- So you can get a guinea pig.
872
00:46:01,050 --> 00:46:02,216
- Oh.
873
00:46:04,763 --> 00:46:06,429
- I gotta get back to work.
874
00:46:07,849 --> 00:46:08,931
- Hey, it's gettin' really late.
875
00:46:08,975 --> 00:46:11,642
Don't you want to go home?
876
00:46:11,686 --> 00:46:13,019
- I don't like to go
back to the trailer
877
00:46:13,062 --> 00:46:14,479
since Memaw died.
878
00:46:14,731 --> 00:46:17,106
It's just so quiet.
879
00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:19,192
- Well, if you need anything,
880
00:46:20,528 --> 00:46:22,069
any time, I'm your man.
881
00:46:27,035 --> 00:46:28,910
Can I ask you something?
882
00:46:28,953 --> 00:46:30,661
Why are you wearin' a scarf?
883
00:46:30,705 --> 00:46:32,038
- Oh.
884
00:46:32,081 --> 00:46:35,833
I hadn't decided which
direction to take my hair in.
885
00:46:37,962 --> 00:46:39,629
- It's a big decision.
886
00:46:53,853 --> 00:46:55,228
- Last on Roots.
887
00:46:55,271 --> 00:46:59,232
(TV chatter)
888
00:47:05,073 --> 00:47:07,740
- I didn't own any slaves.
889
00:47:07,784 --> 00:47:09,700
You own any slaves?
890
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:11,994
Conscience clear.
891
00:47:13,414 --> 00:47:15,957
- Don't have no knowledge
of him as a man.
892
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,252
Determine he's no
better than the mule.
893
00:47:20,839 --> 00:47:25,216
(whipping, crying from TV)
894
00:47:33,351 --> 00:47:34,684
- When the
Master gives you somethin',
895
00:47:34,727 --> 00:47:36,477
you take it.
896
00:47:36,521 --> 00:47:38,229
He gave you a name.
897
00:47:38,314 --> 00:47:39,480
I want to hear you say it.
898
00:47:39,524 --> 00:47:41,983
Your name is Toby.
899
00:47:42,026 --> 00:47:42,984
What's your name?
900
00:47:44,362 --> 00:47:45,194
- Kunta.
901
00:47:45,238 --> 00:47:46,445
Kunta Kinte.
902
00:47:48,283 --> 00:47:50,783
(whipping, screaming)
903
00:47:50,827 --> 00:47:52,660

904
00:47:55,039 --> 00:47:56,497
- Toby.
905
00:47:57,959 --> 00:48:01,919
My name is Toby.
906
00:48:01,963 --> 00:48:03,713
- That's a good nigger.
907
00:48:03,756 --> 00:48:07,758
(bouncy orchestral music)
908
00:48:26,905 --> 00:48:28,154
- Ms. Hattie?
909
00:48:28,197 --> 00:48:29,947
Were you a slave.
910
00:48:32,744 --> 00:48:35,536
- No baby, but my
grandmother Shorty was.
911
00:48:35,580 --> 00:48:38,831
She belonged to Herbert
Woods over in Shelton.
912
00:48:49,218 --> 00:48:50,801
- Psst, Pearl.
913
00:48:50,845 --> 00:48:52,887
Break is over.
914
00:48:52,931 --> 00:48:54,305
We got work to do.
915
00:49:00,188 --> 00:49:04,106
(bugs whirring)
916
00:49:07,737 --> 00:49:09,820
Picture frame?
917
00:49:13,326 --> 00:49:15,201
Booster seat?
918
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,666
Trash sure idn't
what it used to be.
919
00:49:21,709 --> 00:49:23,834
- What you complainin' about?
920
00:49:23,878 --> 00:49:27,004
You ever been
shackled in chains?
921
00:49:27,090 --> 00:49:28,047
- Jesus Pearl.
922
00:49:28,967 --> 00:49:30,174
You mad about somethin'?
923
00:49:30,218 --> 00:49:31,884
- Oh let's see.
924
00:49:32,971 --> 00:49:35,930
Why would I be mad?
925
00:49:35,974 --> 00:49:37,974
Maybe it's 'cuz you
crossed over the Atlantic
926
00:49:38,017 --> 00:49:40,434
on the Mayflower
and not down below
927
00:49:40,478 --> 00:49:44,230
on a slave ship, livin'
a life of privilege.
928
00:49:44,357 --> 00:49:45,898
- Privilege?
929
00:49:45,942 --> 00:49:47,692
Oh boy, now I've heard it all.
930
00:49:47,735 --> 00:49:49,860
I'm like that Just
Hang in There poster
931
00:49:49,904 --> 00:49:52,238
with the little kitten
hangin' from a tree branch.
932
00:49:52,281 --> 00:49:54,532
- Oh please.
933
00:49:54,575 --> 00:49:58,035
All white folk is privileged.
934
00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:01,122
You folk think things
has changed for us?
935
00:50:01,165 --> 00:50:04,083
We still livin' in shacks.
936
00:50:04,168 --> 00:50:06,002
Half starve to death,
937
00:50:06,045 --> 00:50:08,921
slavin' over push-broom jobs
938
00:50:09,132 --> 00:50:12,216
ain't none of y'all
white folk want.
939
00:50:12,260 --> 00:50:14,385
My friend that cat
has got it good.
940
00:50:21,477 --> 00:50:23,644
- Do you think I'm a
racist like Shirley?
941
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:26,105
- And half this cornball town.
942
00:50:29,277 --> 00:50:30,484
No.
943
00:50:30,528 --> 00:50:32,695
- Then why are we fightin'?
944
00:50:43,082 --> 00:50:44,874
(sighing)
945
00:50:46,419 --> 00:50:48,419
Memaw used to say,
946
00:50:48,463 --> 00:50:52,381
"Success is a house a man built
947
00:50:52,425 --> 00:50:54,759
"out of the rocks that
other people throw at him."
948
00:50:56,012 --> 00:50:59,764
- Who in the hell builds
a house out of rocks?
949
00:50:59,807 --> 00:51:02,975
- That's the part I
could never figure out.
950
00:51:04,812 --> 00:51:06,562
(chortles)
951
00:51:09,650 --> 00:51:12,068
Pearl, I think you're
probably my best friend.
952
00:51:17,450 --> 00:51:18,491
- Ditto.
953
00:51:24,248 --> 00:51:25,414
Give me some skin.
954
00:51:26,751 --> 00:51:31,587
Damn. Peanut gallery
needs to calm down.
955
00:51:37,178 --> 00:51:37,843
- OK.
956
00:51:39,305 --> 00:51:41,013
But we got a shop to decorate.
957
00:51:49,607 --> 00:51:51,065
Shine your light right there.
958
00:51:59,075 --> 00:52:02,493
(bell ringing)
959
00:52:19,303 --> 00:52:21,762
(sirens ringing)
960
00:52:21,806 --> 00:52:23,347
Watch, they're gonna arrest me,
961
00:52:23,391 --> 00:52:24,181
I just know it.
962
00:52:24,225 --> 00:52:25,933
- Stop persecutin' yourself.
963
00:52:25,977 --> 00:52:27,768
And Shirley doesn't have
any supporting documents.
964
00:52:27,812 --> 00:52:29,019
Aerial photos.
965
00:52:29,063 --> 00:52:31,063
The judge will refuse an arrest
966
00:52:31,107 --> 00:52:33,023
if the offense is
civil in nature
967
00:52:33,067 --> 00:52:35,985
and the statute does
not constitute a crime,
968
00:52:36,028 --> 00:52:39,446
therefore, the case
would be expunged,
969
00:52:39,490 --> 00:52:41,782
i.e., erased.
970
00:52:43,244 --> 00:52:44,577
- Are you makin' this up?
971
00:52:44,620 --> 00:52:45,953
- Mm-mm-uh.
972
00:52:47,123 --> 00:52:48,706
- Let me get this straight.
973
00:52:49,792 --> 00:52:52,251
You took her chair,
974
00:52:52,295 --> 00:52:55,379
and then she came and
took back her chair,
975
00:52:55,423 --> 00:52:56,547
and now you want me to--
976
00:52:56,591 --> 00:52:57,673
- Arrest her.
977
00:52:57,717 --> 00:52:59,717
- Be reasonable angel.
978
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,177
I am the law, but
I'm not above it.
979
00:53:01,220 --> 00:53:02,344
- Since when?
980
00:53:02,471 --> 00:53:03,888
Come on now.
981
00:53:03,931 --> 00:53:06,265
You're not afraid of a little
competition now are you?
982
00:53:07,435 --> 00:53:09,351
'Cause we all know,
983
00:53:09,395 --> 00:53:12,021
it ain't the chair.
984
00:53:13,357 --> 00:53:14,732
Just who does the pumpin'.
985
00:53:14,775 --> 00:53:16,150
(giggling)
986
00:53:18,946 --> 00:53:21,363
- Gosh I wish Memaw
was here to see this.
987
00:53:21,407 --> 00:53:23,532
- Fluff them flowers.
988
00:53:23,576 --> 00:53:24,783
And light Memaw's candle.
989
00:53:24,827 --> 00:53:27,077
Stack them towels
over by the slop sink.
990
00:53:27,121 --> 00:53:29,788
This is our chance to
cultivate somethin',
991
00:53:29,832 --> 00:53:33,584
harness our dreams,
become somebody.
992
00:53:33,628 --> 00:53:35,002
- How much time we
got to do all that.
993
00:53:35,046 --> 00:53:36,462
- A count of three.
994
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:38,881
One.
995
00:53:39,592 --> 00:53:39,882
(music from the radio)
996
00:53:39,926 --> 00:53:40,424
Two.
997
00:53:42,595 --> 00:53:43,594
Ready?
998
00:53:47,683 --> 00:53:52,728
♪ And sugar to make it sweet ♪
999
00:53:53,105 --> 00:53:54,521
(bell rattling)
1000
00:53:54,565 --> 00:53:57,983
♪ No ifs and buts about it ♪
1001
00:53:58,027 --> 00:53:59,276
(women chattering, laughing)
1002
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:09,662
- Wait.
1003
00:54:09,705 --> 00:54:11,538
Could you teach me
how to do black hair?
1004
00:54:11,582 --> 00:54:13,207
- I can teach you corn
rowin' and plaitin',
1005
00:54:13,251 --> 00:54:15,542
but I don't know a
single, black sista
1006
00:54:15,586 --> 00:54:18,754
who's gonna let a
snowball do her hair.
1007
00:54:26,973 --> 00:54:28,013
Man.
1008
00:54:38,734 --> 00:54:41,026
- You won't believe what she
tried to tell me this time.
1009
00:54:41,070 --> 00:54:43,487
- Ladies, step right
up to the beauty chair
1010
00:54:43,531 --> 00:54:46,949
where anything is possible.
1011
00:54:51,414 --> 00:54:52,079
Who's first?
1012
00:54:52,123 --> 00:54:53,497
- Ohhh.
1013
00:54:54,458 --> 00:54:55,499
- Line up.
1014
00:54:57,044 --> 00:54:58,168
Line up.
1015
00:55:05,052 --> 00:55:07,720
- Run a hot comb
through my wig-hat baby.
1016
00:55:07,763 --> 00:55:10,806
Get the kinks out and just
dress it up a little bit for me.
1017
00:55:10,850 --> 00:55:12,391
But Pearl be careful.
1018
00:55:12,435 --> 00:55:14,935
The last time you burned
a chink in my bang
1019
00:55:14,979 --> 00:55:16,937
and this stuff ain't grass.
1020
00:55:16,981 --> 00:55:19,982
- Well, now that you payin',
1021
00:55:20,026 --> 00:55:21,650
I was thinkin' maybe we might go
1022
00:55:21,694 --> 00:55:23,027
in another direction.
1023
00:55:23,070 --> 00:55:24,028
Find somethin' different,
1024
00:55:24,071 --> 00:55:25,529
but it all cost the same, $4.50.
1025
00:55:25,573 --> 00:55:27,865
- Well, well wait a minute.
1026
00:55:27,950 --> 00:55:29,950
You gonna charge me
to run a hot comb
1027
00:55:29,994 --> 00:55:31,368
through my wig when
you been doin' it
1028
00:55:31,412 --> 00:55:32,911
all these years for free?
1029
00:55:32,955 --> 00:55:34,913
- Well yes, see we
payin' rent now,
1030
00:55:34,957 --> 00:55:38,083
but imagine all
the possibilities
1031
00:55:38,127 --> 00:55:40,169
of your real hair.
1032
00:55:40,212 --> 00:55:42,379
- Wait, what kind of
hell bullstuff is this?
1033
00:55:42,423 --> 00:55:43,839
That's my day's wage.
1034
00:55:43,883 --> 00:55:44,840
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
1035
00:55:44,967 --> 00:55:48,093
OK, $3.50?
1036
00:55:48,262 --> 00:55:49,636
$2.50?
1037
00:55:50,598 --> 00:55:53,307
A buck-fifty and a lollipop?
1038
00:55:54,226 --> 00:55:55,976
- What flavor?
1039
00:55:58,814 --> 00:56:03,567
- Ladies, ladies, bid
adieu to your wiglets,
1040
00:56:04,653 --> 00:56:07,112
throw that honkey
hair in the trash,
1041
00:56:07,156 --> 00:56:11,825
and for a buck-fifty
and a lollipop,
1042
00:56:13,162 --> 00:56:18,040
you can return to your roots.
1043
00:56:19,085 --> 00:56:20,292
- Roots?
1044
00:56:20,378 --> 00:56:21,210
What roots?
1045
00:56:21,295 --> 00:56:23,170
What the hell is she talk 'bout?
1046
00:56:23,214 --> 00:56:25,964
- Say hello to the
Aretha Franklin.
1047
00:56:26,008 --> 00:56:27,591
To the Miles Davis.
1048
00:56:27,635 --> 00:56:30,719
To the Stevie Wonder of hair.
1049
00:56:33,224 --> 00:56:35,265
- I just remembered
I was double parked.
1050
00:56:35,309 --> 00:56:36,767
- Wait, you ain't gotta car.
1051
00:56:36,811 --> 00:56:39,395
- That child's as white
as Pat Boone's shoes.
1052
00:56:39,438 --> 00:56:41,063
- So, we's in changin' times.
1053
00:56:41,107 --> 00:56:42,356
- Ain't no sister
gonna let a white girl
1054
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:43,732
touch her hair.
1055
00:56:43,776 --> 00:56:45,651
What kind of relaxer
you been sniffin'?
1056
00:56:45,694 --> 00:56:47,069
- But you see what she does?
1057
00:56:47,154 --> 00:56:48,779
The girl is gifted.
1058
00:56:48,823 --> 00:56:50,072
- Not with this hair she ain't.
1059
00:56:50,116 --> 00:56:52,116
- Well here's the news bulletin.
1060
00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:53,575
Your head is covered by a wig
1061
00:56:53,619 --> 00:56:55,744
that shines like plastic.
1062
00:56:55,871 --> 00:56:57,955
Now, you ladies
ever thought about
1063
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,249
keepin' your hair natural?
1064
00:57:00,292 --> 00:57:01,542
Like Marvin Gaye say,
1065
00:57:01,585 --> 00:57:04,545
"Ain't nothin' like
the real thing, baby."
1066
00:57:04,588 --> 00:57:05,337
- Real?
1067
00:57:06,465 --> 00:57:09,091
I got to survive.
1068
00:57:09,176 --> 00:57:11,927
In this white man's town.
1069
00:57:11,971 --> 00:57:14,513
Now that's the real thing, baby.
1070
00:57:17,518 --> 00:57:18,725
- Well fine then.
1071
00:57:19,895 --> 00:57:20,394
Next.
1072
00:57:33,409 --> 00:57:35,993
And the chair waits.
1073
00:57:37,371 --> 00:57:38,537
- Pearl I thought it
was real beautiful
1074
00:57:38,581 --> 00:57:40,164
what you said about me
and Aretha Franklin--
1075
00:57:40,207 --> 00:57:41,832
- Oh shut up Styrofoam peanut.
1076
00:57:41,876 --> 00:57:43,584
This might be the
stupidest thing
1077
00:57:43,627 --> 00:57:44,960
I ever done.
1078
00:57:47,214 --> 00:57:48,338
(heels clanking on road)
1079
00:57:48,424 --> 00:57:49,339
- Pearl?
1080
00:57:50,092 --> 00:57:51,383
Pearl?
1081
00:57:51,427 --> 00:57:53,469
Are you insinuatin'
this is my fault?
1082
00:57:53,512 --> 00:57:54,678
- Insinuatin"?
1083
00:57:54,722 --> 00:57:57,347
Hell, I told you
this wouldn't work.
1084
00:57:58,767 --> 00:58:01,101
- You don't think
I'm hurtin' here?
1085
00:58:01,145 --> 00:58:02,686
You don't think I'm scared?
1086
00:58:04,148 --> 00:58:06,440
I'm livin' off
mustard sandwiches
1087
00:58:06,484 --> 00:58:07,483
without the bread!
1088
00:58:07,526 --> 00:58:09,401
- Oh cry me a river.
1089
00:58:09,445 --> 00:58:11,111
Did Kunta Kinte complain
when they stole him
1090
00:58:11,155 --> 00:58:13,155
from his mama?
1091
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:14,865
When they stripped him?
1092
00:58:14,909 --> 00:58:17,117
Threw him in that
germ infested ship?
1093
00:58:17,161 --> 00:58:19,077
Did he get on the pity pot?
1094
00:58:19,121 --> 00:58:21,705
Ohhh, to have your problems.
1095
00:58:23,626 --> 00:58:24,458
- Pearl?
1096
00:58:24,585 --> 00:58:26,793
- Don't call me Pearl no 'mo.
1097
00:58:26,921 --> 00:58:28,420
Pearl my slave name.
1098
00:58:28,464 --> 00:58:31,507
I'm changin' my
name to Babatunde.
1099
00:58:34,637 --> 00:58:35,594
(gasps)
1100
00:58:35,638 --> 00:58:36,845
- Sorry.
1101
00:58:38,098 --> 00:58:39,264
- Don't worry.
1102
00:58:39,308 --> 00:58:42,809
I only saw everything.
1103
00:58:45,189 --> 00:58:46,104
That one's a beaut.
1104
00:58:46,148 --> 00:58:46,980
- Yep.
1105
00:58:47,066 --> 00:58:48,315
That's the Sydney Harbour.
1106
00:58:48,359 --> 00:58:50,817
It's the world's tallest
steel arc bridge.
1107
00:58:50,861 --> 00:58:52,569
Six million hand-driven rivets.
1108
00:58:52,613 --> 00:58:54,571
- What's that one?
1109
00:58:54,615 --> 00:58:57,157
- That's the
Longfellow in Boston.
1110
00:58:57,326 --> 00:58:59,243
It's got these pylons
made of granite
1111
00:58:59,286 --> 00:59:01,161
in the belt courses
that will make you
1112
00:59:01,205 --> 00:59:03,455
spontaneously weep.
1113
00:59:03,499 --> 00:59:05,541
I would love to build a
really, really important
1114
00:59:05,584 --> 00:59:07,417
bridge like that one there.
1115
00:59:07,461 --> 00:59:09,336
Mine are more functionary.
1116
00:59:09,380 --> 00:59:10,379
- What about that one?
1117
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,175
- That's a bridge
we blew up in 'Nam.
1118
00:59:15,219 --> 00:59:18,470
We cut off access to
an entire village.
1119
00:59:20,558 --> 00:59:22,808
You know I've been
doing all the gabbing.
1120
00:59:22,851 --> 00:59:24,685
What about you?
1121
00:59:24,728 --> 00:59:26,395
Why do you fix hair?
1122
00:59:26,438 --> 00:59:28,397
- I see hairdos in my head.
1123
00:59:30,025 --> 00:59:33,026
I look at someone and I
just see inside their skin,
1124
00:59:33,070 --> 00:59:34,361
what hairdo would suit 'em.
1125
00:59:34,405 --> 00:59:35,571
It's weird.
1126
00:59:35,614 --> 00:59:37,030
- Hey, weird's good.
1127
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,118
What do you see
when you look at me?
1128
00:59:41,161 --> 00:59:44,371
- I think I would layer the top.
1129
00:59:44,415 --> 00:59:46,790
And long, loose sweeps.
1130
00:59:46,834 --> 00:59:47,958
Nothin' in place.
1131
00:59:48,002 --> 00:59:49,501
- I like that.
1132
00:59:49,545 --> 00:59:50,335
Keep goin'.
1133
00:59:50,379 --> 00:59:55,007
- I would cut so it'd taper
1134
00:59:55,050 --> 00:59:57,384
just a little above.
1135
01:00:04,435 --> 01:00:06,977
How come you never
put down roots?
1136
01:00:07,021 --> 01:00:09,104
- Well I found
the road suits me.
1137
01:00:09,148 --> 01:00:10,397
I don't have to
belong, you know.
1138
01:00:10,441 --> 01:00:12,190
I just like to keep it loose.
1139
01:00:12,234 --> 01:00:14,192
- No moss on you.
1140
01:00:14,236 --> 01:00:16,320
- Hey, you wanna make a bet?
1141
01:00:16,363 --> 01:00:17,571
You make rent,
1142
01:00:17,615 --> 01:00:19,906
I get to take that
scarf off your hair.
1143
01:00:23,996 --> 01:00:25,454
What's wrong?
1144
01:00:26,957 --> 01:00:28,915
- Only everything.
1145
01:00:29,084 --> 01:00:30,584
Rent's due in three days.
1146
01:00:30,628 --> 01:00:32,836
And Pearl's yellin' at me.
1147
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,505
And Shirley's poisonin' the town
1148
01:00:35,549 --> 01:00:36,381
with her racist brainwashin',
1149
01:00:36,425 --> 01:00:38,008
and I'm too white for the blacks
1150
01:00:38,052 --> 01:00:39,801
and I'm too black
for the whites,
1151
01:00:39,845 --> 01:00:41,887
and sometimes I feel like
I'm just gonna pckoww!
1152
01:00:41,930 --> 01:00:42,387
- Hey.
1153
01:00:42,431 --> 01:00:43,639
- You know?
1154
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:44,806
- You and Pearl, you're
gutsy, you're brave.
1155
01:00:44,850 --> 01:00:46,391
- Or stupid.
1156
01:00:46,435 --> 01:00:48,935
- In the words of the
great prophet Captain Kirk,
1157
01:00:48,979 --> 01:00:51,938
you're boldly going where
no man has gone before.
1158
01:00:51,982 --> 01:00:53,023
No woman either.
1159
01:00:53,067 --> 01:00:54,399
It's awesome.
1160
01:00:54,443 --> 01:00:56,193
You guys are shakin' things up.
1161
01:01:03,327 --> 01:01:05,243
- When are you leavin'?
1162
01:01:05,287 --> 01:01:06,328
- Um...
1163
01:01:06,372 --> 01:01:07,412
- Tomorrow?
1164
01:01:07,456 --> 01:01:08,121
Next week?
1165
01:01:08,165 --> 01:01:08,997
Next year?
1166
01:01:09,041 --> 01:01:11,124
- Soon as the last pylon's in,
1167
01:01:11,168 --> 01:01:13,794
about three days.
1168
01:01:13,837 --> 01:01:14,920
- Can't stay on a while longer?
1169
01:01:14,963 --> 01:01:16,797
- I got offered a
bridge in Jersey.
1170
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:18,465
That's a big step forward.
1171
01:01:20,135 --> 01:01:21,635
- Good for you.
1172
01:01:23,722 --> 01:01:25,847
I should a...
1173
01:01:25,891 --> 01:01:28,266
- Hey, where you goin'?
1174
01:01:28,310 --> 01:01:29,685
- I should be quarantined.
1175
01:01:29,728 --> 01:01:30,852
- Why?
1176
01:01:30,938 --> 01:01:32,062
- I got a leavin' disease.
1177
01:01:32,106 --> 01:01:33,522
- A leaving disease?
1178
01:01:33,565 --> 01:01:34,356
- Yeah.
1179
01:01:35,526 --> 01:01:36,900
So...
1180
01:01:38,737 --> 01:01:40,028
Just gonna go.
1181
01:01:48,747 --> 01:01:50,122
- You ain't heard?
1182
01:01:50,165 --> 01:01:51,373
People say the police is lookin'
1183
01:01:51,417 --> 01:01:52,874
for the colored men.
1184
01:01:52,918 --> 01:01:54,584
Everybody know that.
1185
01:01:54,628 --> 01:01:56,253
The description says--
1186
01:01:56,296 --> 01:01:58,380
(car passing by)
1187
01:01:58,424 --> 01:02:01,133
(train horn blowing)
1188
01:02:22,740 --> 01:02:24,573
- You're not gonna
leave me, are you?
1189
01:02:24,616 --> 01:02:25,907
- Leave you?
1190
01:02:25,951 --> 01:02:27,367
What you talkin' 'bout?
1191
01:02:27,411 --> 01:02:29,870
- Just that I keep tryin' not
to care when people leave.
1192
01:02:31,206 --> 01:02:33,290
You're lucky.
1193
01:02:35,419 --> 01:02:36,209
You got a family.
1194
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,296
- Yeah, they alright.
1195
01:02:44,636 --> 01:02:46,136
- Bud's leavin' soon.
1196
01:02:46,180 --> 01:02:47,804
- Hmmh, well I would be too
1197
01:02:47,848 --> 01:02:51,016
if I still had my
Negro college fund.
1198
01:02:51,059 --> 01:02:53,643
I'm stuck in this
bassackwards town,
1199
01:02:53,687 --> 01:02:56,897
and these tigers ain't
changin' their stripes.
1200
01:02:56,940 --> 01:02:59,983
- Then what are we
gonna do to make rent?
1201
01:03:00,027 --> 01:03:01,026
We could give up.
1202
01:03:01,069 --> 01:03:02,944
Ask Shirley to take us back.
1203
01:03:02,988 --> 01:03:05,071
- Oh, Lord.
1204
01:03:05,115 --> 01:03:06,656
I ain't gonna be no washer.
1205
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:08,533
That ain't no life.
1206
01:03:10,662 --> 01:03:12,537
- Maybe now would be a good time
1207
01:03:12,581 --> 01:03:15,081
for the hug department to open?
1208
01:03:15,125 --> 01:03:16,541
- No I don't like hugs.
1209
01:03:16,585 --> 01:03:17,250
- Come on, we'll feel better.
1210
01:03:17,294 --> 01:03:19,961
- No, I don't like hugs.
1211
01:03:23,509 --> 01:03:24,090
(thudding)
1212
01:03:24,134 --> 01:03:24,716
Ooh, ooh.
1213
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:25,926
- [Hattie] Hey!
1214
01:03:25,969 --> 01:03:26,760
- Violet?
1215
01:03:26,804 --> 01:03:28,136
(muttering)
1216
01:03:28,180 --> 01:03:29,095
- Take your hands off her.
1217
01:03:29,139 --> 01:03:29,971
You hear what I,
1218
01:03:30,015 --> 01:03:32,557
I said get your hands off her.
1219
01:03:32,601 --> 01:03:35,477
- What in Hellmann's
Mayonnaise, grandma?
1220
01:03:35,521 --> 01:03:37,604
Your arteries gone hard?
1221
01:03:37,648 --> 01:03:38,897
It's Violet.
1222
01:03:38,941 --> 01:03:42,150
- This old pole cat stole
your Ironside money.
1223
01:03:42,194 --> 01:03:43,443
- No, grandma.
1224
01:03:43,487 --> 01:03:45,654
She ain't no pole cat.
1225
01:03:45,697 --> 01:03:49,032
She's my partner.
1226
01:03:51,078 --> 01:03:54,454
She come over to watch Roots.
1227
01:03:54,498 --> 01:03:55,497
Her TV on the blink.
1228
01:03:55,541 --> 01:03:57,249
I told her it'd be alright.
1229
01:04:01,255 --> 01:04:03,338
- Good evening, Ms. Hattie.
1230
01:04:03,382 --> 01:04:04,506
I'm whitelet.
1231
01:04:04,550 --> 01:04:06,675
Violet.
1232
01:04:06,718 --> 01:04:09,261
Be happy to fit you in at
the Salt and Pepper any time.
1233
01:04:09,304 --> 01:04:10,637
- Why would I want
to spend money
1234
01:04:10,681 --> 01:04:14,558
to get my hair did
when I can wear a wig?
1235
01:04:14,601 --> 01:04:16,059
- You sure got yourself a deal.
1236
01:04:16,103 --> 01:04:17,727
- You be quiet.
1237
01:04:17,771 --> 01:04:22,065
(orchestral music)
1238
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:24,651
- Come on.
1239
01:04:28,824 --> 01:04:31,616
They ain't gonna throw
watermelons at you.
1240
01:04:31,827 --> 01:04:32,951
- No, no.
1241
01:04:32,995 --> 01:04:34,494
Mama!
1242
01:04:34,538 --> 01:04:36,997
No, no, no, mama.
1243
01:04:41,545 --> 01:04:45,088
(whipping, screaming)
1244
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,595
Mama! Mama!
1245
01:05:04,026 --> 01:05:05,025
- Where you goin'?
1246
01:05:05,110 --> 01:05:06,276
- Leave me.
1247
01:05:07,654 --> 01:05:08,945
- Grandma?
1248
01:05:10,949 --> 01:05:11,698
Where you goin'?
1249
01:05:11,742 --> 01:05:12,949
- I said leave me be.
1250
01:05:12,993 --> 01:05:16,995
(crying)
1251
01:05:19,082 --> 01:05:22,292
(train horn blowing,
engine running)
1252
01:05:27,549 --> 01:05:31,509
(crowd murmuring)
1253
01:05:35,182 --> 01:05:36,139
- Hattie?
1254
01:05:39,603 --> 01:05:41,603
- What you doin' grandma?
1255
01:05:41,647 --> 01:05:42,812
Grandma, please.
1256
01:05:42,856 --> 01:05:43,939
Just talk to me.
1257
01:05:43,982 --> 01:05:46,441
Grandma, where you goin'?
1258
01:05:50,781 --> 01:05:53,239
Grandma, don't you let
the devil taunt you.
1259
01:05:53,283 --> 01:05:56,117
- All my life I been
ashamed of my kinky hair
1260
01:05:56,161 --> 01:05:59,371
and black skin.
1261
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:04,000
I'm tired of hidin' my
light under a bushel basket.
1262
01:06:04,044 --> 01:06:06,086
I want to celebrate my roots.
1263
01:06:06,171 --> 01:06:07,963
Not hide 'em.
1264
01:06:15,764 --> 01:06:18,974
- Well I think I got just
what the doctor ordered.
1265
01:06:28,902 --> 01:06:30,193
- You doin' me right?
1266
01:06:30,278 --> 01:06:32,278
Not her.
1267
01:06:32,322 --> 01:06:36,032
- What happened to all
that bushel basket talk?
1268
01:06:36,076 --> 01:06:37,617
Now didn't you say you
wanted to celebrate
1269
01:06:37,661 --> 01:06:39,119
your roots, not hide from 'em?
1270
01:06:39,162 --> 01:06:40,453
- Yes I did.
1271
01:06:40,497 --> 01:06:41,830
But did I say that I was
ready for a white woman
1272
01:06:41,873 --> 01:06:44,541
to do my hair?
1273
01:06:44,584 --> 01:06:46,626
Not while these
four eyes can see.
1274
01:06:47,921 --> 01:06:48,586
Nigger move.
1275
01:06:48,630 --> 01:06:49,754
I can't see.
1276
01:06:49,798 --> 01:06:52,841
- No, this way it'll
be more of a surprise.
1277
01:06:52,884 --> 01:06:56,636
Now, how many fingers I got up?
1278
01:06:58,724 --> 01:07:00,306
- Five?
1279
01:07:00,350 --> 01:07:01,808
- Cool.
1280
01:07:02,060 --> 01:07:03,601
Let's get started.
1281
01:07:15,657 --> 01:07:16,156
- My God.
1282
01:07:17,492 --> 01:07:20,160
You snuck one in on me.
1283
01:07:20,203 --> 01:07:22,245
Shame on you.
1284
01:07:22,289 --> 01:07:24,831
But damn I look good.
1285
01:07:25,959 --> 01:07:28,501
I'm gonna tell all my neighbors.
1286
01:07:29,796 --> 01:07:32,338
This floor is gonna be stomped.
1287
01:07:32,424 --> 01:07:33,965
(laughter)
1288
01:07:34,259 --> 01:07:35,175
Thank you baby.
1289
01:07:36,553 --> 01:07:39,554
And you, thank you.
1290
01:07:41,475 --> 01:07:42,515
- Oh.
1291
01:07:50,358 --> 01:07:51,816
- What?
1292
01:07:51,860 --> 01:07:54,778
- I can't pay you with no money.
1293
01:07:54,821 --> 01:07:59,157
But these are a reminder
1294
01:07:59,242 --> 01:08:02,911
of what our people
made out of this land.
1295
01:08:02,954 --> 01:08:05,330
Day after day in
the scorchin' sun.
1296
01:08:05,373 --> 01:08:07,624
They would pick
somethin' so simple
1297
01:08:07,667 --> 01:08:09,501
and make a meal.
1298
01:08:11,797 --> 01:08:12,420
Grab your coats.
1299
01:08:13,548 --> 01:08:14,881
- Why Ms. Hattie?
1300
01:08:14,925 --> 01:08:17,884
- We gonna have
us a hair parade.
1301
01:08:17,928 --> 01:08:19,385
Throw back, head up.
1302
01:08:27,062 --> 01:08:28,770
Ain't nobody lookin' at us.
1303
01:08:28,814 --> 01:08:30,188
- No ma'am.
1304
01:08:31,316 --> 01:08:32,774
- Let's try it again.
1305
01:08:32,818 --> 01:08:35,693
Only this time,
let's jive ass walk
1306
01:08:35,737 --> 01:08:38,655
right down the
middle of the street.
1307
01:08:38,698 --> 01:08:40,240
- What's a jive ass walk?
1308
01:08:40,283 --> 01:08:41,199
- Oh.
1309
01:08:41,243 --> 01:08:42,784
- Show her grandma.
1310
01:08:45,705 --> 01:08:47,330
- Alright, you gotta
take in the world
1311
01:08:47,374 --> 01:08:49,040
like you own it.
1312
01:08:49,084 --> 01:08:50,250
Alright?
1313
01:08:52,337 --> 01:08:53,503
Take it in.
1314
01:08:54,881 --> 01:08:57,382
Take in the world
like you own it.
1315
01:08:57,425 --> 01:08:58,842
- Yes ma'am.
1316
01:09:03,849 --> 01:09:05,014
Get it.
1317
01:09:05,058 --> 01:09:06,724
Uh oh, uh oh.
1318
01:09:06,768 --> 01:09:09,102
(giggling)
1319
01:09:11,523 --> 01:09:13,898
- [Hattie] Get up,
show she's best.
1320
01:09:13,942 --> 01:09:15,650
(cars honking)
1321
01:09:19,197 --> 01:09:20,321
What's that?
1322
01:09:21,324 --> 01:09:23,199
- It's a jive ass.
1323
01:09:23,243 --> 01:09:25,577
- That ain't no jive ass walk.
1324
01:09:25,620 --> 01:09:27,328
Notch up your attitude.
1325
01:09:27,372 --> 01:09:28,746
Do it again.
1326
01:09:28,790 --> 01:09:30,915
- Yes ma'am.
1327
01:09:34,212 --> 01:09:36,963
- Violet, what are y'all doin'?
1328
01:09:37,007 --> 01:09:39,340
- We're havin' us a parade.
1329
01:09:39,384 --> 01:09:40,466
- What kind of parade?
1330
01:09:40,510 --> 01:09:41,926
- A hair parade.
1331
01:09:41,970 --> 01:09:43,219
- Where's your wig, Hattie?
1332
01:09:43,263 --> 01:09:45,305
- My wig in the river.
1333
01:09:45,348 --> 01:09:47,265
Does honkey hair sink?
1334
01:09:47,309 --> 01:09:49,017
- Hattie, remember your place.
1335
01:09:49,060 --> 01:09:52,520
- Mabel, I'm in my place.
1336

not that darn TV show.

Scoot on under the dryer,
1392
01:12:33,141 --> 01:12:35,183
you can turn yourself
on, can't you?
1393
01:12:40,482 --> 01:12:43,316
- Not a snowball's
chance in hell.
1394
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,486
They're all a
little blacker now.
1395
01:12:46,529 --> 01:12:49,030
- I wasn't worried
for one second.
1396
01:12:50,367 --> 01:12:52,742
- You gonna show me
a little gratitude?
1397
01:12:58,249 --> 01:13:00,124
- Well alright,
but just my hand.
1398
01:13:14,974 --> 01:13:17,642
(laughing)

(engine running)
1400
01:13:29,030 --> 01:13:30,738
- Ooh.
1401
01:13:39,207 --> 01:13:39,997
- Wait.
1402
01:13:40,041 --> 01:13:41,082
- Thank you.
1403
01:13:41,126 --> 01:13:43,418
- Can I see you before I go?
1404
01:13:56,391 --> 01:13:57,723
- No.
1405
01:13:57,767 --> 01:13:58,975
It could've been you and me.
1406
01:13:59,018 --> 01:14:00,184
But you're not
gonna see this hand
1407
01:14:00,228 --> 01:14:03,312
until you rectify your mistake.
1408
01:14:03,356 --> 01:14:04,772
- Oh honey.
1409
01:14:04,816 --> 01:14:05,857
Come on baby.
1410
01:14:06,943 --> 01:14:08,568
- Oh yeah, right
there, right there.
1411
01:14:08,653 --> 01:14:09,485
Ooh.
1412
01:14:14,409 --> 01:14:15,575
- Hmmh.
1413
01:14:18,955 --> 01:14:21,205
- Who would want this hole?
1414
01:14:21,249 --> 01:14:23,666
This property was condemned
before we got here.
1415
01:14:23,710 --> 01:14:25,626
Who is offerin' you more money?
1416
01:14:25,670 --> 01:14:27,086
- I'm not at liberty to say.
1417
01:14:27,130 --> 01:14:28,171
- It's Shirley.
1418
01:14:28,214 --> 01:14:29,505
- What's happenin'?
1419
01:14:29,549 --> 01:14:33,092
- Shirley made Smilie an
offer to rent this hole
1420
01:14:33,136 --> 01:14:35,511
for $75 startin' on Tuesday.
1421
01:14:35,555 --> 01:14:36,804
They tryin' to undercut us.
1422
01:14:36,848 --> 01:14:38,306
- You only paid for five days.
1423
01:14:38,349 --> 01:14:40,725
- We have to come up with $75?
1424
01:14:40,810 --> 01:14:41,642
- Yes.
1425
01:14:41,769 --> 01:14:43,311
It's a total scam.
1426
01:14:49,569 --> 01:14:56,949
(snickering)
1427
01:14:56,993 --> 01:14:58,284
- I'm sorry sweetness.
1428
01:14:58,328 --> 01:15:00,995
i thought it'd be romantic
to have the top down.
1429
01:15:01,414 --> 01:15:03,498
Didn't think.
1430
01:15:03,541 --> 01:15:05,750
Worked fine 'til Slidell.
1431
01:15:11,549 --> 01:15:13,090
- I'll be right there.
1432
01:15:16,346 --> 01:15:18,387
- Where's the girl?
1433
01:15:28,691 --> 01:15:30,483
Thank you.
1434
01:15:34,989 --> 01:15:37,615
- Pray for a miracle
and here she comes.
1435
01:15:37,659 --> 01:15:39,825
Ooh, money bags is here.
1436
01:15:40,954 --> 01:15:42,662
Look, get out here.
1437
01:15:42,705 --> 01:15:44,997
Get ready to do your magic.
1438
01:15:45,124 --> 01:15:47,792
(thundering)
1439
01:15:47,835 --> 01:15:49,168
- Welcome back.
1440
01:15:49,212 --> 01:15:51,879
- Hi, Fuzzy got
the top stuck down.
1441
01:15:51,923 --> 01:15:53,297
I have seen more hail than Satan
1442
01:15:53,341 --> 01:15:55,550
and more rain than Noah.
1443
01:15:55,593 --> 01:15:58,177
You gotta squeeze me in
while he's fixin' the top.
1444
01:15:58,221 --> 01:16:00,054
- Since you lookin' to get
the works done on your hair,
1445
01:16:00,098 --> 01:16:02,098
75 ain't too much?
1446
01:16:02,141 --> 01:16:03,474
- You want to charge me what?
1447
01:16:03,518 --> 01:16:05,351
- 75.
1448
01:16:05,395 --> 01:16:08,354
- No, uh-uh.
1449
01:16:08,398 --> 01:16:10,022
I would never pay that.
1450
01:16:10,149 --> 01:16:11,774
- Well alright, that's fine.
1451
01:16:11,818 --> 01:16:12,608
You wanna walk around this town
1452
01:16:12,652 --> 01:16:14,652
lookin' like a snow monkey.
1453
01:16:14,696 --> 01:16:16,028
It's your life.
1454
01:16:19,450 --> 01:16:22,159
- Oh for cryin' out loud.
1455
01:16:22,203 --> 01:16:22,994
How's 70?
1456
01:16:23,204 --> 01:16:24,036
- Plus tip?
1457
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:25,746
- Don't push it.
1458
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:28,874
- Out of the way, folks.
1459
01:16:28,918 --> 01:16:31,377
Payin' customer comin' through.
1460
01:16:36,551 --> 01:16:41,178
- My shoes are dirty,
I'm gonna just wait out
1461
01:16:41,222 --> 01:16:42,346
on the doorstep.
1462
01:16:48,062 --> 01:16:50,396
Why don't you just fix
my hair at my house?
1463
01:16:50,440 --> 01:16:53,941
I've got the cutest little
pink sink and salad sprayer.
1464
01:16:53,985 --> 01:16:56,569
- We got a wash sink.
1465
01:16:56,613 --> 01:16:57,236
- Yes.
1466
01:16:58,281 --> 01:17:01,240
But, there's black
people in there.
1467
01:17:02,827 --> 01:17:03,868
- [Violet] So?
1468
01:17:03,911 --> 01:17:07,330
- So, those scissors
have touched
1469
01:17:07,373 --> 01:17:10,333
a black person's hair.
1470
01:17:10,376 --> 01:17:13,294
That comb has touched
a black person's hair.
1471
01:17:13,338 --> 01:17:14,545
- Oh.
1472
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:17,006
Excuse us.
1473
01:17:20,219 --> 01:17:21,552
- What's she got
against black folk?
1474
01:17:21,596 --> 01:17:24,430
- What are we gonna do?
1475
01:17:24,474 --> 01:17:26,015
I'm scared.
1476
01:17:26,059 --> 01:17:27,183
You got any other
job possibilities
1477
01:17:27,226 --> 01:17:28,351
'cause we're gonna
lose the shop?
1478
01:17:28,394 --> 01:17:29,977
- That ignoramus needs
to march her troll ass
1479
01:17:30,021 --> 01:17:31,479
in here just like
everybody else,
1480
01:17:31,522 --> 01:17:35,733
and stop insultin' the air
with her racist mouthin'.
1481
01:17:40,990 --> 01:17:41,822
- I apologize.
1482
01:17:41,866 --> 01:17:43,824
But you need to march your troll
1483
01:17:45,870 --> 01:17:47,953
ass in here like everybody else
1484
01:17:47,997 --> 01:17:52,208
and stop mouthin' the air
with your racist insultin'.
1485
01:17:52,251 --> 01:17:54,418
Her words, not mine.
1486
01:17:54,462 --> 01:17:56,295
- Shit.
1487
01:17:56,339 --> 01:17:58,422
It was so much easier
before we mixed.
1488
01:17:58,466 --> 01:18:01,342
- Tell that banana eater fine,
1489
01:18:01,386 --> 01:18:03,969
she can stay right where she is.
1490
01:18:04,013 --> 01:18:05,471
The choice is hers.
1491
01:18:06,766 --> 01:18:07,723
- For cryin' out loud,
1492
01:18:07,767 --> 01:18:10,059
I'm offerin' you good money.
1493
01:18:15,608 --> 01:18:19,235
- Not if she was handin'
out million dollar bills.
1494
01:18:19,278 --> 01:18:20,486
- Get off it.
1495
01:18:20,530 --> 01:18:21,946
She ain't gonna budge.
1496
01:18:21,989 --> 01:18:23,072
- If you want to
go changin' things,
1497
01:18:23,116 --> 01:18:24,365
why don't you run
for public office?
1498
01:18:24,409 --> 01:18:26,784
This is a durn beauty
parlor for cripes sake.
1499
01:18:27,161 --> 01:18:28,619
We gotta save this place.
1500
01:18:28,663 --> 01:18:29,870
- Fine.
1501
01:18:29,914 --> 01:18:31,997
You live by your code of ethics.
1502
01:18:32,041 --> 01:18:33,666
And I'll live by mine.
1503
01:18:36,629 --> 01:18:37,920
- Pearl?
1504
01:18:53,563 --> 01:18:55,396
If you want me to do your hair,
1505
01:18:55,440 --> 01:18:57,314
I'll do it.
1506
01:18:57,358 --> 01:19:00,484
In our shop with
the same scissors
1507
01:19:00,528 --> 01:19:02,278
and the same comb
as everybody else,
1508
01:19:02,321 --> 01:19:04,238
and that is the
way it has to be.
1509
01:19:04,323 --> 01:19:05,573
- Oh yeah?
1510
01:19:06,909 --> 01:19:10,494
Well, up yours.
1511
01:19:14,333 --> 01:19:16,417
Up yours.
1512
01:19:18,671 --> 01:19:21,088
- Did the right thang.
1513
01:19:21,132 --> 01:19:23,466
Business ain't worth
throwin' out your principles.
1514
01:19:23,509 --> 01:19:26,677
- Yep, guess this is it.
1515
01:19:26,721 --> 01:19:28,596
This is the end.
1516
01:19:28,639 --> 01:19:30,765
- Yeah.
1517
01:19:30,808 --> 01:19:33,017
- Anybody want any magazines?
1518
01:19:33,060 --> 01:19:33,934
Collard greens?
1519
01:19:34,145 --> 01:19:36,145
(knocking)
1520
01:19:43,488 --> 01:19:45,237
- Just sneaking in the back.
1521
01:19:45,281 --> 01:19:46,447
Then nobody'll see me--
1522
01:19:46,491 --> 01:19:48,407
- No, no, you've gotta
come in the same door
1523
01:19:48,451 --> 01:19:49,867
as everybody else.
1524
01:19:49,911 --> 01:19:51,619
That's just the
way it has to be.
1525
01:20:02,173 --> 01:20:04,298
- Jesus, I hope you're happy.
1526
01:20:04,342 --> 01:20:06,926
- I'd be happy if
you pay up front.
1527
01:20:08,763 --> 01:20:10,221
- You go girl.
1528
01:20:10,264 --> 01:20:13,557
Yes Lord, Amen.
1529
01:20:13,601 --> 01:20:15,059
- I feel the spirit.
1530
01:20:16,312 --> 01:20:18,604
It's like bein' in church.
1531
01:20:19,774 --> 01:20:21,816
- Y'all catch the spirit
in white folk church?
1532
01:20:21,859 --> 01:20:24,235
(car horn honking)
1533
01:20:24,278 --> 01:20:25,569
- By ladies.
1534
01:20:25,613 --> 01:20:26,570
Soak it in.
1535
01:20:26,614 --> 01:20:30,157
I'm the Rosa Parks of Whynot.
1536
01:20:30,201 --> 01:20:32,284
(horn honking)
1537
01:20:38,042 --> 01:20:39,667
- I thought you only
reserved the casket spray
1538
01:20:39,710 --> 01:20:40,918
for dead people.
1539
01:20:40,962 --> 01:20:41,836
- Huh?
1540
01:20:43,506 --> 01:20:45,297
That's what you wanted?
1541
01:20:45,341 --> 01:20:48,384
Well, I could do
that in five minutes.
1542
01:20:48,427 --> 01:20:49,510
- Do it.
1543
01:20:49,554 --> 01:20:50,344
Do it right now.
1544
01:20:50,388 --> 01:20:51,554
- Right now?
1545
01:20:51,597 --> 01:20:53,055
Why I can't right now.
1546
01:20:53,099 --> 01:20:55,182
I've got an appointment.
1547
01:20:56,811 --> 01:20:59,645
- Violet might could fit you in.
1548
01:20:59,689 --> 01:21:01,522
In a month.
1549
01:21:01,566 --> 01:21:03,190
(laughing)
1550
01:21:06,362 --> 01:21:07,444
- We did it.
1551
01:21:07,488 --> 01:21:08,988
We did it.
1552
01:21:09,031 --> 01:21:11,699
- Oh for once I feel
like I'm somebody,
1553
01:21:11,742 --> 01:21:13,534
like my family's somebody,
1554
01:21:13,578 --> 01:21:17,329
like my people is somebody.
1555
01:21:17,373 --> 01:21:18,455
- I'm a hair stylist.
1556
01:21:18,499 --> 01:21:22,793
I am a beauty professional!
1557
01:21:28,843 --> 01:21:33,095
- And now, the
dramatic conclusion of Roots.
1558
01:21:33,139 --> 01:21:36,932
(dramatic, suspenseful
drumming music)
1559
01:22:01,584 --> 01:22:02,875
- Tom Harvey!
1560
01:22:05,171 --> 01:22:07,046
Get yourself out here boy
1561
01:22:07,089 --> 01:22:10,090
or we're gonna
burn your kinfolk.
1562
01:22:10,134 --> 01:22:14,929
(phone ringing)
1563
01:22:30,655 --> 01:22:32,780
- The first slave in this family
1564
01:22:32,823 --> 01:22:36,367
was my granddaddy, Kunta Kinte.
1565
01:22:38,621 --> 01:22:41,830
'Fore he was a slave,
he was a free man
1566
01:22:41,874 --> 01:22:46,168
in another country, Africa.
1567
01:22:46,212 --> 01:22:48,712
And then the slavers,
they catch him.
1568
01:22:48,756 --> 01:22:51,006
And they brung him to America.
1569
01:22:51,050 --> 01:22:53,759
But Kunta Kinte,
1570
01:22:53,803 --> 01:22:56,387
he never forget
where he come from.
1571
01:22:58,516 --> 01:23:03,394
And 'fore he die, he'd
give that dream of freedom
1572
01:23:03,437 --> 01:23:04,895
to his daughter,
1573
01:23:07,233 --> 01:23:11,610
Kizzy, my mama,
1574
01:23:11,654 --> 01:23:16,448
and 'fore she died, she
gave that dream to me.
1575
01:23:16,492 --> 01:23:18,158
- Hear
me ol' African.
1576
01:23:20,079 --> 01:23:22,746
We is free!
1577
01:23:26,752 --> 01:23:29,378
- We are free.
1578
01:23:29,422 --> 01:23:31,797
And ain't nobody or nothin'
1579
01:23:31,841 --> 01:23:33,757
gonna keep us down.
1580
01:23:33,801 --> 01:23:37,511
(orchestral music)
1581
01:23:59,118 --> 01:24:00,117
- Goodnight.
1582
01:24:01,579 --> 01:24:03,704
- What happened to
that bet we had?
1583
01:24:07,752 --> 01:24:10,794
- I can't take off my scarf.
1584
01:24:10,838 --> 01:24:13,088
And I'd have to do my hair.
1585
01:24:14,550 --> 01:24:16,258
- You're kidding me, right?
1586
01:24:16,302 --> 01:24:19,386
- I know I got all these
exotic and sexy hairdos
1587
01:24:19,430 --> 01:24:23,348
for everyone else, but
when it comes to me,
1588
01:24:25,853 --> 01:24:29,313
I'm just not fully formed.
1589
01:24:29,356 --> 01:24:32,357
- Violet, you're an original.
1590
01:24:34,528 --> 01:24:36,195
You shouldn't cover that up.
1591
01:24:53,172 --> 01:24:55,672
- Let me do you first.
1592
01:25:13,109 --> 01:25:17,569
(scissors snipping)
1593
01:26:17,173 --> 01:26:20,299

1602
01:27:09,433 --> 01:27:10,849
- You feelin' OK?
1603
01:27:13,604 --> 01:27:14,269
- Yeah.
1604
01:27:17,274 --> 01:27:18,398
You?
1605
01:27:22,488 --> 01:27:23,695
- I feel,
1606
01:27:24,865 --> 01:27:26,573
I don't even know if
there's a word for it.
1607
01:27:27,576 --> 01:27:28,992
- Weird?
1608
01:27:30,371 --> 01:27:30,994
- No.
1609
01:27:32,456 --> 01:27:34,665
- Stomach bile in your throat?
1610
01:27:34,708 --> 01:27:36,124
- No.
1611
01:27:39,463 --> 01:27:42,422
I feel like--
1612
01:27:42,466 --> 01:27:43,757
(banging at door)
1613
01:27:43,884 --> 01:27:45,175
- Open up in there.
1614
01:27:45,219 --> 01:27:46,969
(banging)
1615
01:27:47,012 --> 01:27:48,428
- Oh my gosh.
1616
01:27:48,472 --> 01:27:49,304
We gotta get your stuff.
1617
01:27:49,348 --> 01:27:49,680
We gotta get you out the back.
1618
01:27:49,723 --> 01:27:50,889
- Why?
1619
01:27:50,933 --> 01:27:52,266
What are you ashamed
to be seen with me?
1620
01:27:52,309 --> 01:27:55,978
- Sorry, you don't
know this town.
1621
01:27:56,021 --> 01:27:57,312
People talk.
1622
01:27:57,356 --> 01:27:58,939
- Well, who gives a flyin' flip
1623
01:27:58,983 --> 01:28:01,108
what these people say?
1624
01:28:01,151 --> 01:28:03,026
You know, you could
lose a lot of your life
1625
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:03,944
answering to that.
1626
01:28:11,287 --> 01:28:12,452
- Lord, I have seen it all.
1627
01:28:12,496 --> 01:28:13,787
- She put the "b" in brazen.
1628
01:28:13,831 --> 01:28:15,247
- What's all this?
1629
01:28:15,291 --> 01:28:15,998
- You heard about the vandalism?
1630
01:28:16,041 --> 01:28:16,915
- Vandalism?
1631
01:28:16,959 --> 01:28:17,958
- Somebody got a wild hair
1632
01:28:18,002 --> 01:28:20,585
and painted Jesus
chocolate brown.
1633
01:28:20,629 --> 01:28:21,712
Pearl here?
1634
01:28:21,755 --> 01:28:22,629
I need to have a word with her.
1635
01:28:22,673 --> 01:28:24,298
- Pearl, what, no.
1636
01:28:24,341 --> 01:28:25,674
What makes y'all think
Pearl had anything
1637
01:28:25,718 --> 01:28:27,301
to do with this?
1638
01:28:29,555 --> 01:28:32,014
- You heard her
runnin' her mouth.
1639
01:28:32,057 --> 01:28:35,225
Jesus was not a Negro.
1640
01:28:35,269 --> 01:28:39,021
And there's not a thing
Pearl can do about that.
1641
01:28:40,065 --> 01:28:41,940
- Pearl didn't touch Jesus.
1642
01:28:42,192 --> 01:28:43,066
- Hush up.
1643
01:28:43,110 --> 01:28:44,860
This whole cockamamie mess
1644
01:28:44,903 --> 01:28:47,029
is all your fault.
1645
01:28:47,114 --> 01:28:47,946
- My fault?
1646
01:28:47,990 --> 01:28:49,489
- Encouragin' the coloreds,
1647
01:28:49,533 --> 01:28:51,533
gettin' them all riled
up with those hairdos.
1648
01:28:51,577 --> 01:28:52,784
- You can't treat
coloreds that way, Violet.
1649
01:28:52,828 --> 01:28:54,161
Makin' 'em think they're
better than they are.
1650
01:28:54,288 --> 01:28:55,537
- They got rights.
1651
01:28:55,581 --> 01:28:56,997
Just like you.
1652
01:28:57,041 --> 01:28:58,665
- Gonna have rights
when their men rob you?
1653
01:28:59,043 --> 01:28:59,833
- What?
1654
01:28:59,877 --> 01:29:00,500
- When they rape you.
1655
01:29:00,753 --> 01:29:01,793
- That's prejudice.
1656
01:29:01,837 --> 01:29:02,544
- Who's she callin' prejudice
1657
01:29:02,588 --> 01:29:04,504
with her mad dog bangs?
1658
01:29:04,548 --> 01:29:05,756
- You don't own Jesus
1659
01:29:05,799 --> 01:29:07,341
and you don't own me.
1660
01:29:07,384 --> 01:29:09,760
(crowd chattering)
1661
01:29:09,803 --> 01:29:13,263
- Did I say that I owned you?
1662
01:29:13,307 --> 01:29:15,557
That's the reason you
people can't get ahead.
1663
01:29:15,601 --> 01:29:16,850
You're stuck in the past.
1664
01:29:16,894 --> 01:29:17,893
- I'm stuck?
1665
01:29:17,936 --> 01:29:18,518
That's what you say.
1666
01:29:18,604 --> 01:29:19,770
I'm stuck.
1667
01:29:19,897 --> 01:29:21,063
- You don't like the
way it is around here?
1668
01:29:21,106 --> 01:29:22,105
Go on back to Africa.
1669
01:29:22,149 --> 01:29:23,482
(crowd rumbles in exasperation)
1670
01:29:23,525 --> 01:29:24,733
- Alright, that's enough.
1671
01:29:24,777 --> 01:29:26,276
Let's break up this
little prayer meeting--
1672
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:27,652
- You better stop
waving your finger.
1673
01:29:31,533 --> 01:29:33,575
I said cracker jack,
1674
01:29:33,619 --> 01:29:35,077
you better stop
waving your finger.
1675
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:36,078
- Don't you threaten me.
1676
01:29:36,121 --> 01:29:37,120
I'll put finger where I please.
1677
01:29:37,164 --> 01:29:38,914
You are not in
charge of my finger.
1678
01:29:38,957 --> 01:29:40,290
- Now you listen to me.
1679
01:29:40,334 --> 01:29:41,249
You skinny little toothpick body
1680
01:29:41,293 --> 01:29:42,751
with your Q-tip hair.
1681
01:29:42,795 --> 01:29:44,378
Slavery is over.
1682
01:29:44,421 --> 01:29:47,798
Jesus was beggin' me
to paint him brown!
1683
01:29:47,841 --> 01:29:48,715
- That's it Pearl.
1684
01:29:48,759 --> 01:29:49,758
You under arrest for vandalism.
1685
01:29:49,802 --> 01:29:50,425
- What?
1686
01:29:50,469 --> 01:29:51,510
- Come on, let's go.
1687
01:29:51,553 --> 01:29:52,219
- This is a
miscarriage of justice.
1688
01:29:52,304 --> 01:29:53,637
Article 19.
1689
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:55,472
You better wait to
hear what Jimmy Carter
1690
01:29:55,516 --> 01:29:56,765
has to say about this.
1691
01:29:56,809 --> 01:29:58,225
Violet, get me Jimmy
Carter's phone number.
1692
01:29:58,268 --> 01:29:59,476
- She didn't do it, I did!
1693
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:01,186
(gasping crowd)
1694
01:30:01,480 --> 01:30:02,646
- What?
1695
01:30:02,689 --> 01:30:04,481
- You heard me.
1696
01:30:04,525 --> 01:30:06,274
- Well then I'll
arrest you both.
1697
01:30:07,361 --> 01:30:09,194
- Violet and Pearl
did no such thang.
1698
01:30:09,238 --> 01:30:10,028
I did it.
1699
01:30:11,031 --> 01:30:13,156
- Ms. Hattie, why you lyin'?
1700
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,784
Sheriff, I'm your man.
1701
01:30:15,828 --> 01:30:16,660
- Do you believe this crock?
1702
01:30:16,703 --> 01:30:18,912
All of 'em lyin' bastards.
1703
01:30:18,956 --> 01:30:19,704
- What?
1704
01:30:19,748 --> 01:30:21,415
- Lyin'?
1705
01:30:21,458 --> 01:30:22,624
I saw you and Sheriff
Raybur pressed together
1706
01:30:22,668 --> 01:30:24,251
like rye bread and ham.
1707
01:30:24,294 --> 01:30:25,544
(gasping, murmuring crowd)
1708
01:30:25,587 --> 01:30:26,503
- OK everybody, get on home
1709
01:30:26,547 --> 01:30:27,712
before somebody gets hurt.
1710
01:30:27,756 --> 01:30:28,588
- Yeah you.
1711
01:30:28,632 --> 01:30:29,464
(thud)
1712
01:30:29,508 --> 01:30:30,841
(gasping crowd)
1713
01:30:30,884 --> 01:30:32,050
- You little Judas.
1714
01:30:32,094 --> 01:30:33,301
- Ahhhh!
1715
01:30:33,345 --> 01:30:36,096
(thudding, glass shattering)
1716
01:30:40,727 --> 01:30:41,435
What I say?
1717
01:30:41,478 --> 01:30:42,519
Stop it with that flick--
1718
01:30:42,563 --> 01:30:43,478
What did I?
1719
01:30:43,522 --> 01:30:46,273
Don't put that
finger in my face.
1720
01:30:47,776 --> 01:30:49,693
- My doctor says I cannot
get upset like this.
1721
01:30:49,736 --> 01:30:50,527
- Shit.
1722
01:30:50,571 --> 01:30:52,195
- Get her Shirley, get her!
1723
01:30:55,075 --> 01:30:58,326
Get her! Get her, Shirley!
1724
01:31:03,292 --> 01:31:08,378
(crowd screaming, murmuring)
1725
01:31:13,594 --> 01:31:16,928
- Somebody call the
fire department.
1726
01:31:16,972 --> 01:31:18,013
- Get the cash.
1727
01:31:18,056 --> 01:31:18,680
Where's the cash box?
1728
01:31:18,724 --> 01:31:19,681
- Alright, alright.
1729
01:31:19,725 --> 01:31:21,183
It's time to go.
1730
01:31:21,226 --> 01:31:22,225
- My chair.
1731
01:31:25,063 --> 01:31:28,732
(coughing)
1732
01:31:28,775 --> 01:31:32,777
(police radio transmitting)
1733
01:31:32,821 --> 01:31:36,573
(flames crackling)
1734
01:31:42,706 --> 01:31:45,790
(sirens blaring)
1735
01:31:45,834 --> 01:31:49,544
(fire horn honking)
1736
01:31:54,843 --> 01:31:58,428
(church bell ringing)
1737
01:32:16,031 --> 01:32:17,906
- God bless America.
1738
01:32:19,284 --> 01:32:20,784
Crazy headed fool,
1739
01:32:20,827 --> 01:32:22,410
this is all my fault.
1740
01:32:22,454 --> 01:32:23,828
- This town was far too dull.
1741
01:32:25,249 --> 01:32:26,831
Gave us somethin' to talk about.
1742
01:32:26,875 --> 01:32:28,416
- Don't try.
1743
01:32:28,460 --> 01:32:30,043
I gotta get as far
away from this place
1744
01:32:30,087 --> 01:32:31,670
as I can get.
1745
01:32:33,757 --> 01:32:36,007
- You can't quit.
1746
01:32:36,051 --> 01:32:38,552
- Somethin's changed inside me.
1747
01:32:38,595 --> 01:32:41,805
Kunta, Kizzy, Chicken George.
1748
01:32:41,848 --> 01:32:43,682
They are passin' on a torch,
1749
01:32:43,725 --> 01:32:45,934
and I gotta answer the call.
1750
01:32:45,978 --> 01:32:48,353
- What are you
talkin' about a call?
1751
01:32:48,397 --> 01:32:51,356
This is our call.
1752
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:52,857
We can rebuild our dream.
1753
01:32:52,901 --> 01:32:54,651
- No, Violet.
1754
01:32:54,695 --> 01:32:57,946
This shop, that's your dream.
1755
01:32:58,282 --> 01:33:00,448
You gotta see that
dream through.
1756
01:33:03,203 --> 01:33:06,246
My dream is country where Jesus
1757
01:33:06,290 --> 01:33:08,957
ain't got no color.
1758
01:33:09,001 --> 01:33:11,543
Where a wash woman is valued
1759
01:33:11,587 --> 01:33:15,797
just as much as the
rich lady customer.
1760
01:33:15,841 --> 01:33:17,215
And where the President
of the United States
1761
01:33:17,259 --> 01:33:19,467
could be a black woman.
1762
01:33:19,511 --> 01:33:21,052
That's my dream.
1763
01:33:23,974 --> 01:33:27,392
Might of got a
little carried away
1764
01:33:27,436 --> 01:33:29,060
on that last bit.
1765
01:33:30,314 --> 01:33:31,730
- Wait, back up.
1766
01:33:31,773 --> 01:33:33,273
I don't understand.
1767
01:33:33,317 --> 01:33:35,734
- Instead of knockin'
my head in Whynot,
1768
01:33:35,777 --> 01:33:37,902
I'm gonna thumb my
way to Washington,
1769
01:33:37,946 --> 01:33:40,280
and knock me down some doors.
1770
01:33:40,324 --> 01:33:42,449
They got plenty of colleges.
1771
01:33:45,203 --> 01:33:47,662
Set up a wash pot.
1772
01:33:47,706 --> 01:33:49,414
Put myself through school.
1773
01:33:51,043 --> 01:33:52,000
Keep this.
1774
01:33:53,795 --> 01:33:56,296
To quote my man Marshall,
1775
01:33:56,340 --> 01:33:59,591
"Sometimes history takes
things into his own hands."
1776
01:34:02,763 --> 01:34:04,846
I want you to know
that you askin' me
1777
01:34:04,890 --> 01:34:06,723
to be a partner with you,
1778
01:34:08,101 --> 01:34:10,393
that meant the world to me.
1779
01:34:13,565 --> 01:34:15,815
Say something.
1780
01:34:17,277 --> 01:34:19,402
Tell me you ain't mad.
1781
01:34:31,375 --> 01:34:33,333
You know me and you,
1782
01:34:33,919 --> 01:34:35,752
we did good.
1783
01:34:42,719 --> 01:34:43,635
- [Bud] Hey.
1784
01:34:46,139 --> 01:34:47,555
- No it isn't?
1785
01:34:47,599 --> 01:34:51,101
- Sweet Jesus.
1786
01:34:51,144 --> 01:34:52,560
- It can't be.
1787
01:35:00,612 --> 01:35:01,861
(gasping)
1788
01:35:09,121 --> 01:35:12,038
(laughing)
1789
01:35:13,208 --> 01:35:14,332
Take it.
1790
01:35:16,044 --> 01:35:17,043
- No.
1791
01:35:17,087 --> 01:35:18,920
- Take it with you.
1792
01:35:18,964 --> 01:35:20,839
- But this is all
the money you got.
1793
01:35:20,882 --> 01:35:22,590
- It was your money too.
1794
01:35:22,634 --> 01:35:26,136
Besides, get you started
on your law books.
1795
01:35:42,446 --> 01:35:45,864
(crying)
1796
01:36:16,688 --> 01:36:18,354
- Let's get outta here.
1797
01:36:19,691 --> 01:36:20,815
We can just go.
1798
01:36:25,322 --> 01:36:29,073
(heavy breathing)
1799
01:36:48,970 --> 01:36:49,761
- Stop!
1800
01:36:49,805 --> 01:36:50,804
(tires screeching)
1801
01:36:55,852 --> 01:36:57,852
