JUNIOR: Miss Queenie, I had no idea any
of this was touching your territory.

Means the only business that remains
is how you plan to make this right.

JUNIOR: Let me use the
trains to run numbers for ya.

Pay and part ways.

ROSE: Boys like ours,

they need more help than
we know how to give.

MARLENE: Eli is pulling
us off our regular route.

He seems to think that
we can do just as well

On de bullion street.

None of these folks are
gonna donate to anything

besides their own vices.

Who let these preachers in?

You all right?

I think you're a diabetic.

Who's this Johnson?

CORRINE: Rumour is he's looking
for a dancer to go along.

LUCY: He chose Corrine.

You need to leave Mr. Senior Executive.

FRANKLIN: But I have some
friends from prep school.

They hold a salon every few weeks.

ZEKE: If I wanted to get
the porters into a union

that purposely excludes them,

what's the first thing I should do?

RANDOLPH: Always go for the head.

You have to go to the
labour board in Ottawa.

They're the ones with the sway

to change things for everybody.

JUNIOR: Think if I have to
spend the rest of my life

vowing and smiling at people
rather spit in my face

than see me as human,

then killing me would be a kindness.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS]

[DREAMY MUSIC]

[MUFFLED BANGING]

TUFFY: [MUFFLED] Zeke?

[DOOR KNOCKS]

TUFFY: Zeke!

Didn't no one teach you to knock?

I-I did.

Twice.

I was wondering if you
had a spare polish brush?

Fellas in my room say it
get more tips than a rag.

Best shine takes both.

You know Tuffy,

one of these days

you have to spend your own money

on your own supplies.

One of these days I'll have
to do better than break even

so I can.

Well that's the nail
on the head ain't it?

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

I talked to the head of the union,

now they plan to get us into the CBRE.

- You're dreamin' Zeke.
- Hey Zeke.

No way those white boys
let us in their union.

Well it ain't about what they want,

it's about what they need,

and what they need is numbers.

See, now if I could get enough names

and dudes from the porters,

then I can show the labour board

that we ready to be union men.

Okay, okay, but what
good's a union to me?

Well the same thing it is to them.

Higher wages, breaks
on back-to-back runs,

and paid time and a half on holidays.

Now if every man on that train is union,

well the company can't move down

one inch of track un...

TUFFY: Track of what?

Unless what?

Zeke, you all right?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Oh, you go on ahead without me.

Come on, man, we're going...

Go on, Tuffy.

MARLENE: Shouldn't you
be getting a move on?

[JUNIOR SIGHS]

You know I'm cooking
up something special

for you tonight, Mrs. Massey.

Promises promises.

Mhm.

Rose asked if you would put
that in the post for her boy.

The address is on the pamphlet.

She made one for us too,

so don't go pinching
your way through his.

Black cake?

You ever feel like a place like
this could be good for Teddy?

I'm not sending my son to an asylum.

If it helps our boy who
cares what they call it?

MARLENE: He's just a baby, Junior.

And then one day,

sooner than we want,

he's gonna be all grown up.

When that boy steps
foot out on St. Antoine

they ain't gonna see a baby, Marlene.

They gon' see a nigger
not playing by the rules.

And then what?

You'll put that in the post?

Sure.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[DOOR CREAKS]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

You all right?

ELI: I know you have
your routes to attend to,

so I won't keep you long.

I wanna say what an honour it is

to be representing the
good people of St. Antoine

At our upcoming convention.

[AUDIENCE CLAPS]

We may be the smallest chapter

in attendance,

but with a more concerted effort,

I don't see a reason in the world

we couldn't get brother Garvey's notice.

Ah, what kind of effort?

ELI: Well, it's less effort
and more efficiency, sister.

For example,

minimal socializing

would increase the
amount of visitations,

thereby creating an overall increase

in donations and membership.

Given that you've had so much success

at your earlier posting,

perhaps brother Eli,

you would be good enough to accompany
sister Gwen and I on our route today.

Help us to identify any
areas of inefficiency.

Well, I'm, ah... [CHUCKLES]

Sure you good ladies
wouldn't want me under foot.

MARLENE: Oh, you would be no such thing.

And what a testament it
would be to brother Garvey,

to know that he has men
who lead by example.

Well, it would be my pleasure.

[AUDIENCE CLAPS]

[TRAIN HORN WHISTLING]

[UPBEAT RHYTHMIC MUSIC]

You got a little something on your face.

Fuck you, Massey.

[JUNIOR LAUGHS]

Don't be like that!

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

ZEKE: Looks good on you.

[UPBEAT RHYTHMIC MUSIC]

Old bread and cold soup.

I'm tellin' you, every dog has it's day,

and one day that dog will get bite.

[IN PATOIS] Serious
bite is what de man get.

Think the fellas would be behind that?

I mean, them white workers'
food comes fresh and free.

We-we pay out of pocket
for-for this right here.

If we got into the union, Junior...

We have to talk about
this shit right now?

I ain't asking you to
stand on a soapbox, Junior.

I-I just need a few porters
who ain't so set against it.

And I need to go to that labour
board with an army by my side.

Well, feel free to take the milk
but I'm gonna take the cream.

Oh, so you think you
got claim to a top crew?

You goddamn right.

And I gotta settle this
situation with Queenie

to get this lottery up and running.

I need 'em just as bad as you

but I ain't gonna wait
for you to get 'em...

Nigger, you gonna have to wait.

Really?

[JUNIOR CHUCKLES]

You know what?

What?

May the best man win, Zeke.

I will.

[UPBEAT RHYTHMIC MUSIC]

Now I'm telling you,

it ain't that far fetched.

It's about the details.

Specifically, not fucking 'em up.

The company exploits every worker,

black and white.

If you really want
change, well you got to...

Keep your mouth shut.

You get questioned, you know nothing.

You get stopped,

you know no one.

Especially not me.

I mean,

don't y'all deserve
to lay your head down

after they have you on
your feet eighteen hours?

JUNIOR: Here's how it works.

Pick three numbers, place your bet.

The draw's every three days.

cash on bet, no exceptions.

The runner picks up once a week,

bet slips included.

And, uh, last three numbers on
the stock total take the win.

Any man working on my team
gets a piece of the action.

Look, Stanley.

I know you joined the welfare committee

to make things better for us,

but we both know that ain't happening.

Ain't it time that we-we-we
tried a different tactic?

DINGER: Ladies!

Are you serving tea or having it?

My apologies, Mr. Miller.

Sorry Zeke,

but I tried that fight
and almost lost my job.

I try it again, I might get deported.

Stanley.

Stanley, I hope...

Lady in car 3 gave me the local rundown.

Belleville's got three hot
spots to keep the locals coming.

A barbershop,

a supply store,

and a diner.

Now the boys gonna keep us
covered while we're gone

but we gotta lock the location fast.

What happens if we miss the train?

I catch a bullet.

[TRAIN RUMBLES]

[SOFT RHYTHMIC JAZZ MUSIC]

ELI: Whoo!

[ELI PANTS]

ELI: Ladies, can we slow down?

[DOG BARKS]

Easy! Easy there.

[DOG BARKS]

I know what you're doing

and it's not one bit funny.

If that man wants to come here

setting rules for what we do,

he should know what that entails.

So this has nothing to do with vengeance

for him punishing us?

Well, I didn't say that.

[WOMAN SHRIEKS]

I hope it's not all like this.

Untrained nurses playing doctor.

We teach nutrition
like we're supposed to.

But sometimes people need help
they can't get anywhere else.

[WOMAN SHRIEKS]

Just relax.

GWEN: At least Marlene
comes from healing people,

three generations.

Healing hands or not, if this...

Gwen!

You're about to be a mama.

[WOMAN SHRIEKS]

[MEN LAUGH] [TRAIN HORN WHISTLES]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

These the people you're
looking to keep company with?

ZEKE: It's bigger than them, Junior.

JUNIOR: No it's not.

I mean, how you gonna sell
these charleys as a solution

when they're the whole goddamn problem.

Not very well, apparently.

Guessing you got your
cream crew together?

It's not complicated, Zeke.

What I offer these boys
is not "one day maybe",

it is in their hands right now.

Only you gotta risk your
neck with a gangster for it.

JUNIOR: Calculated risk you can measure.

But this union shit you're talkin',

now that's danger.

Look, you want my help
getting the boys in the room,

I'll get 'em in the room.

The rest is on you.

[STEVEN CHOKING]

What the hell happened to him?

[IN PATOIS] Look like the dog get bite.

[PLAYFUL DRUM MUSIC]

MARLENE: Gwen will stay and finish up.

So much to do and so little
time, brother Eli, keep up.

Can we kindly cut the
shit, sister Massey?

I had no more say in my appointment

than you did the appointed man,

but don't you think it's time we,

we stopped testing each other?

The U.N.I.A is quite clear
on the role of its nurses.

Educate our people on good health.

Enlighten them to...

I didn't start out delivering babies

and tending to broken bones.

But when you're faced
with that kind of need,

how are you supposed to
turn your back on that?

What does this have to
do with the U.N.I.A?

Brother Garvey says that
we are supposed to create

our own opportunities.

Why should our people walk
miles to a city hospital

that shuts the door in their
face whenever the mood strikes?

We need our own clinics.

If you would just look at my plans...

You know there's a reason
why you're in the uniform

and I'm in the suit!

There are roles to be obeyed Marlene,

and I strongly suggest
you start playing yours.

You know brother Garvey's
promoted a woman to the top spot.

Head of International Organization.

Henrietta?

[CHUCKLING]

That-that-that is pure public relations.

Maybe.

Or maybe the line between suits
and uniforms is thinning out.

Brother Garvey will
promote whoever he wishes,

wherever he wishes.

But I am his emissary in St. Antoine.

And my answer is "no".

[TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC]

JUNIOR: Well, O'Dell's diner's out.

I think you might've caught a
bad steer on this one Junior.

Nah Glenford. I got a good
feeling about this next place.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Even so, come on.

[JUNIOR CHUCKLES]

JUNIOR: C'mon, man.

We gotta find some gamblers.

[SOFT BLUES MUSIC]

Guess gon' see if you're
gonna make some money.

Money business.

What you want?

I think the question
is, what do you need?

And how much money you need to get it?

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

All right. [CHUCKLES]

Which one of you brothers
wants a free shoe shine, huh?

And from what I can tell,

the numbers game you runnin'
down here is small and spotty.

Well if by 'small and spotty'
you mean crooked as all hell.

And that's exactly it.

What I'm offering is
something more solid,

backed by a well established
Chicago enterprise.

Pssh, that so?

That's so, big man.

Come on now, you know it sounds good.

There's no betting on credit,

but a three-number-play gives
you all kind of chances.

CLARENCE: You wasting my time, brother.

How long you think before this
whole place is an echo, huh?

Oh, you concerned about
my welfare now porter?

Yes, sir, I am.

Well from what I can tell,

you boys is the only ones
out here with steady work.

Now I'm guessing none of your brothers

get to cut the line when the
job at the mill opens up.

It's not right.

Is it right?

No.

Brother man, is it right?

You're goddamn right it isn't right.

But you cut a win on our numbers play,

that's a week's easy pay
without coughing up black dust.

Man, if you can afford to turn
down this kind of opportunity

that's your prerogative.
But if I were you...

CLARENCE: If I was you

I would know how deep the water
was before I jumped in it.

Folks around here ain't
got a pot to piss in,

and here you come with your full belly

asking people to spend
what little they got.

You got off at the wrong
station for that porter.

Hey Clarence, we too
late to place our bets?

Come on, man.

I got my numbers and everything.

POPSY: Alright baby, let's
put us both out our misery.

This ain't for you.

And shame on the liar
who told you that it was.

Next!

[IN PATOIS] Your horse-face
up there hoofin'.

What is this?

[UPBEAT JAZZ PIANO MUSIC]

Look, Corrine is gone
and the show must go on.

[FEET TAPPING]

But not with you girl, come, no!

Next! Please!

Show me somethin'.

[UPBEAT JAZZ PIANO MUSIC]

Send these dumb doras home already.

I mean, with me on the job

you get the whole song and dance.

And you don't have to set foot
outside the saint to get it.

You askin' or you tellin'?

If anyone's got a right
to that stage it's me.

I've been here longer than anyone.

And Lord knows I'm better than everyone.

So you telling... Again.

[FINGERS SNAP] [MUSIC CUTS]

So let me tell you something Lucy-Mae.

See all them girls lined up here
waiting for their opportunity?

They've been here since before
the sun come up this morning.

So if you want yours,

the line ends at the door.

Next girl, please!

[UPBEAT JAZZ PIANO MUSIC]

POPSY: Show me somethin'!

[UPBEAT JAZZ PIANO MUSIC]
[TRAIN BELL RINGING]

[TRAIN RUMBLES]

So what's the plan for Kingston?

You cover the train, Glen and
me gon' hit the next spot.

DINGER: Massey!

Ma'am.

Car nine has a real proper pain in
the ass that needs attending to.

It's not my car.

DINGER: That's not my problem.
I got five porters missing.

All of them facing down
a shitload of demerits

when I get my hands on them.

You wouldn't happen to know
where they are, Mr. Massey?

I'll see to the car
right now Mr. Miller.

DINGER: Yeah, get on it.

Yes sir.

Jackass.

You think he's on to us?

JUNIOR: Not us exactly.

I need you to drop on Zeke's
little clubhouse meeting.

Let him know dinger's on the prowl.

You gotta make the run for me.

By myself?

Be fast, be clear.

Be sure you don't fuck with my money.

Ain't gonna fuck up your money, Junior.

[DOOR RATTLING]

[MEN CHATTERING]

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Y'all know what these are?

Cleats for tying rope.

My daddy used to make something
like this back in Oklahoma.

Costs about thirty cents a piece.

[SOFT DRAMATIC PIANO MUSIC]

We beg this railway to keep us safe

and their answer don't raise
any higher than a decent tip.

Alright, let's just say
the railway feels generous

and they put five of these
on top of the ice car.

Five at thirty cents a piece,

that's $1.50.

Now our brother Henry

died a death he wasn't meant to,

doing work that he was not supposed to.

And the company that made him do it

says all that he's worth is a
dollar and fifty cent solution?

A solution that didn't even
have a damn thing to do

with how he died.

[SOFT DRAMATIC PIANO MUSIC]

Look, I know y'all might be
scared of what might happen

if we try to unionize.

But maybe it's time we start
thinking about what happens

if we don't.

[SOMBRE MUSIC]

Thirty cents a piece, y'all.

There was no one out front
so I showed myself in.

You're Mr. Edwards' two o'clock?

We have a no appointment
required arrangement.

In future,

Mr. Edwards prefers
that his "arrangements"

wait in the car with the
driver until summoned.

Good day to you.

I was thinking,

maybe it's time to inquire
about your friend's salon.

Well, that's an unexpected introduction.

LUCY: I-I-I'm so sorry.

I thought this was
Franklin Edwards' office.

My-my mistake.

Yes it is.

So why don't we have a
bite and discuss him?

[TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC]

JUNIOR: They're getting closer.

ANDREW THOMAS: Eeny, meeny, miny, moe!

JUNIOR: They come for you,

They come for me.

[EERIE MUSIC] [DISTORTED RUMBLING]

ZEKE: Sorry you missed the meetin'.

You know, uh, I'm thinking,

maybe I'm getting through a little.

At least to some.

Thanks for getting them in the room.

Well, shucks, you ain't talking

I'm gonna start eating.

Marlene do something different
with this black cake?

A friend. Rose made it.

Asked me to put it in
one of the mail cars

for her boy that stays at the asylum.

You know what's funny?

Marlene thinks I wanna send Teddy away

'cause I'm ashamed of him.

Truth is, I'm scared for him.

If I ain't spent all that time
fighting the white man's goddamn war.

[TRAIN HORN WHISTLES]

[DRAMATIC SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Where the fuck is Glenford?

Well my first granddaughter
was born on the third.

GLENFORD: Mhm.

And my third granddaughter
was born on the second.

GLENFORD: Yeah, okay.

So I suppose the second
number should be a three.

That's a hell of a lot of children.

POST OFFICE GRANNIE: Now

Now where is the man
that runs this place?

- Who, Silas?
- Yes, Silas.

He asked me to mind the stand

while he's waiting on the

And some m-o-n-e-y.

some rice for everyone.

Do you want some rice?

MAN 2: Yes.

[MEN CHATTERING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

What took you so long?

Sorry.

It's been a god awful day!

Went to your office
to tell you about it.

Funny thing though,

you don't have an office!

I need the light.

I wanna see how your
face looks when you lie

so I know for next time.

FRANKLIN: I tried, Lucy.

What other stories have you
been selling me Franklin?

You make me the star
of an imaginary salon?

I told you I didn't make that up!

And I wouldn't have had to lie
about this job either if my,

my father would just give me my due!

Oh, so it's his fault you're a liar?

My father jumped from
number two at the pullman

To the top of the food chain
faster than you can spit!

But me, me it's like he expects me

to just grovel my way up
the ladder like I'm some...

Like some what?

[FRANKLIN SIGHS]

FRANKLIN: The man pushed
me off on boarding schools

and nannies my entire fucking life.

Opportunity that's-that's
the least of what he owes me.

LUCY: You know, I ain't big on religion,

but a preacher friend taught
me something that stuck.

A man shouldn't think of himself
more highly than he ought.

What's that supposed to mean?

LUCY: It means, if you wanna
walk in your daddy's shoes,

you best be willing to shine 'em first.

Is that more preacher wisdom?

LUCY: No.

Porter.

MARLENE: You know my
husband's a porter right?

I mean if he wanted to
meet me by the train,

I know the way.

You know the way that don't get
you caught by the rail police?

[TRAIN ENGINE RUMBLING]

You'll find your porter
just on the right, ma'am.

This is where I get off.

Junior ain't the only
one with plans tonight.

[DOOR CREAKS]

Well if you went through all
the trouble to make oxtail,

this really is special.

I was thinking about the
place Rose sent her boy.

Can we not talk about this tonight?

I was thinking that you were right.

Let him be our baby a
little while longer.

Well, Mrs. Massey, I...

I heard that church girls
know how to cut a rug.

Well Mr. Massey,

you're about to find out.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

I'll be back, y'all.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Pardon the intrusion.

I just thought that given all the time

we've been spending together

an introduction might be in order.

Oh no?

All right then.

I just wanna let you know
that I'm not the kind of man

that you come at sideways.

Ain't a negro in this whole world

wasn't born lookin' over their shoulder.

So you tell whoever the
hell you working for,

it's impossible to
step on my damn shadow.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[GENTLE JAZZ MUSIC]

What's it gonna be?

ZEKE: I'll have my usual, please.

Right.

Funny how it's always the men

expect me to remember
everything they ever ate,

but can't even remember my name.

ZEKE: I really like when you
tuck your hair behind your ears

when you wear those earrings, Lijuan.

I know men aren't meant to
have an opinion in the matter,

but I like your green dress
better than the black.

Maybe it's because of the perfume
you put on when you wear it.

It smells like magnolias.

Reminds me of home.

Yeah, we better get going.

Police soon start patrolling the yard.

Can you imagine having so much money

that you can stick it on the walls?

Yeah, I think about that all the time.

You know, if we strip
this car end to end

we can make enough money
to have anything we want.

Move to a new place,

maybe buy a bigger place of our own.

What's the matter with you?

[PENSIVE PIANO MUSIC]

Baby, you okay?

[PENSIVE PIANO MUSIC]

All my life is praying and believing.

Prayed for my family and I buried them.

Prayed for my son, I can't talk to him.

Prayed for my husband...

Now they're closing
the doors in my clinic

before they even get a chance to open.

Your Garvey tell you that?

Eli's God of Garvey around here.

Look, I don't know what
is to believe like you do.

But if heaven can't hear ya,

I hear you Marlene.

If our son needs, I got him.

And if my wife needs,

I got her.

And if Marlene Massey wants
a clinic in St. Antoine,

then I got you.

'Cause we make our own life.

[RHYTHMIC PIANO MUSIC]

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

[RHYTHMIC PIANO MUSIC]

ZEKE: Pastor Haynes?

Hey pastor,

I'm sorry to come so late.

I had to make sure I wasn't followed.

I think the railroad knows
I'm trying to unionize.

What is it you need, Zeke?

Your basement.

I wanna hold a special meetin'.

You see,

I've been thinking about what you do,

and-and how you get people
to believe in things

that they can't even see.

PASTOR HAYNES: It's scripture.

Faith is evidence of things unseen.

Yeah, but sometimes you need
to see faith change things

to believe it.

And the church basement?

Well let's just call that
a faith healing service.

ZEKE: Thank you, pastor.

See you Sunday.

[SOFT INSTRUMENTAL]

MR. EDWARDS: Did you manage to find
anything before you got caught?

I applied the standard protocols,

known associates, affiliations,

family, relationships.

This isn't much more
than I could have heard

pressing my ear to the train window.

I think the last page in my
report might beg to differ.

[TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC]

He was in Wales for the riots.

Service report is scant,

but the information's valid.

Stay on that.

I think I've got someone
else to put on Garrett.

[DRAMATIC SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

FAY: No!

[CRASHING] Hey, you!

[DONALD CHUCKLES] Give it!

- DONALD: Shut your mouth.

FAY: I ain't tell you
that! I don't like you!

DONALD: [LAUGHS] I'm gonna get ya!

[FAY YELLS]

Whoa!

[WOMAN SMACKED]

Oh wait.

Oh, this is... Oh my god.

This is my friend, this is Donald.

[DONALD LAUGHS]

Donald, Marlene.

Mmm, I like her.

- FAY: You know what? Stop.
- What?

- Stop it.
- No, come on.

FAY: Baby, go with Jasmine.

I'll be over there in a minute.

[DONALD LAUGHS]

[FAY GIGGLES]

You hit that white man.

[LAUGHS] I'm gonna call the cops on you.

It is not funny, Fay.

FAY: Oh, oh it was funny.

You should have seen
your legs up in there

going round and round.

Stop laughing!

Oh! No and thank you!

Thank you for rescuing
me, ha, from his orgasms!

[FAY LAUGHS]

FAY: And what you doin' in
here anyway, church woman?

You come to bring me some
of that nasty ass tea?

MARLENE: I told you, I
came back to check on you.

Does he really pay you to spank him?

Pssht, ain't that nothing.

Used to be you get locked
up for slapping a white man.

Now they pay me top dollar for it.

[MARLENE LAUGHS]

FAY: If I could just find one
that would pay to cook and clean,

I might be set for life.

[CHUCKLING]

[MUFFLED WOMAN MOANING]

All of these people living secret lives,

I mean...

Do you ever just wonder if
the people in their real lives

don't have a right to know?

Everybody's always gettin'
worked up about rights

they have no right to.

This is their real life.

And this is nobody's business.

[MUFFLED WOMAN MOANING]

[MUFFLED CONGREGATION
SINGING AND CLAPPING]

"I was glad when they said unto me,"

"let us go into the house of the Lord."

CONGREGATION: Amen.

If you are glad this morning,

say "amen"!

[IN UNISON] Amen!

Somebody say "amen".

CONGREGATION: Amen!

[CONGREGATION CLAPS]

I wanna talk to you this morning

about mustard seed faith.

[CONGREGATION AFFIRMATIONS]

PASTOR HAYNES: Faith that begins

long before the harvest appears.

[CONGREGATION AFFIRMATIONS]

PASTOR HAYNES: Faith that looks

at a field of weed...

What you doing here?

- Had some time to kill.
- Mhm.

I hear you got someone taking
on a fair share of that lately.

The Edwards boy?

PASTOR HAYNES: And when you're facing...

It's just a little bit of fun Zeke.

The boy walks around like
the world owes him a favour.

When the pot calls out to the kettle,

it sure can sing.

What's that supposed to mean?

Maybe Popsy can explain it to you.

PASTOR HAYNES: Faith can grow, amen!

CONGREGATION: Amen!

Praise God.

[CONGREGATION CLAPPING]

And for those registered for
the faith healing meeting,

it begins directly after
service in the church basement.

Now let me get to these announcements

before our beloved secretary
gives me an earful.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

Our ladies committee
needs a reliable wagon

to, uh, bring these baskets...

[SOULFUL MALE VOCALIZATION]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Gentlemen, thank y'all
for staying behind.

I'd like to introduce y'all

to our guest speaker for
today's faith fellowship.

This is brother James Kendall,

an elevator operator outta New York.

Now I asked him to share the story

of the Goliath battle
against his employer,

as a reminder that the
force of our oppression

is the truest measure of our power.

Brother James.

Thank you, brother Zeke.

Gentlemen, I want to start
off by telling you a story.

Lucy Conrad.

LUCY: Yes sir.

You wanna explain to me Why after
I've been auditioning dancers

You choose to go up
there and sing me a song?

LUCY: Well sir,

you already know I can dance.

But I believe you asked
me to show you something.

I guess I did.

[SOFT BLUES MUSIC]

QUEENIE: My lawyer will take
care of whatever you need.

Make sure you send the
bill directly to me.

[GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

It's all accounted for.

Every cent, every slip.

Quite a few cents from
the look of things.

It's better to be over
than under, right?

QUEENIE: Hmm.

What was that about?

QUEENIE: It's a part of my work
with the French legal society.

We help immigrants
become American citizens.

The American dream
shouldn't have a price tag.

Gangster with a heart.

Something like that.

It's what you're owed.

Every cent accounted for,
I'm nothing if not fair.

If we talkin' fair,

how 'bout a little somethin' for
the man that introduced you two?

Shut up!

This is you free and clear.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

This is me renegotiating my terms.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Sticks!

Fix Mr. Massey and I a drink.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Hey Junior!

Hey, you makin' a big mistake.

Look, you shoulda got
out from under Queenie

while you had the chance.

My debt is clear.

This is a new arrangement.

Look, I get the appeal.

Queenie's smart,

powerful,

sexy as all hell...

Nigga that ain't your cousin?

That mean I don't got eyes?

Look, don't let that
do-good shit fool you, man.

That woman don't care
about nobody but herself.

The second you become a problem...

Bobby, I ain't you

so there ain't gonna be
no motherfuckin' problem.

Thank you very much.

All I'm saying is,

it's not too late to start
thinking about a exit plan.

You sure you know what you're doing?

That shit use to drive the
soldiers crazy in the war.

Well folks are still going
crazy for it over here.

And it's a whole lot easier
to smuggle than booze.

You know my granny always used to say,

[IN PATOIS] who cyah hear mus' feel.

What that mean?

Miss Queenie's already beat your ass

for going behind her back.

And there you is.

Look, I'm just trying
to be somebody, Junior.

Ain't that what we all want?

[TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I got a train to catch.

Stay outta trouble, hm.

Get you some pooch or something.

[DRAMATIC BLUES MUSIC]

You wanna know who
your real friends are?

See who turns up when
life knocks you down.

Think this is 'cause of my meeting?

All I know,

this garden was the beginning
of a new chapter here.

A way to stop depending on the railroad

to keep our doors open.

Well, we'll find a way.

Our folks in saint are
pull together people.

I've seen it time and time again.

You might be right about that.

What's this about?

This?

A token of support on behalf
of the welfare committee.

You mean on behalf of the railroad.

STANLEY: The welfare committee
serves porters and their families.

The company wants you all to know,

we're here for the community.

So quickly?

I mean, the smoke
hasn't even cleared yet

and here you are, Stanley.

We should get these to the cold room.

Would hate to see fine folks
cooking up spoilt chicken.

This way.

Stanley, are you responsible for this?

Hand to the most high,

I don't know who did this.

But maybe you should be more careful

who you invite to your meetings.

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT]

JUNIOR: Save the lecture,

I already spoke to Queenie and
everything's gonna be alright.

Junior, we have a rat
reporting to Edwards.

It's one of our own.

You know which one of us they after?

What makes you think it's only one?
