1
00:01:37,353 --> 00:01:40,118
All right, people, this my last day!
2
00:01:40,189 --> 00:01:42,055
What you want, you gonna get.
3
00:01:42,391 --> 00:01:45,884
I got ice cubes, all you want,
pillows for your head!
4
00:01:46,195 --> 00:01:49,426
I got playin' cards,
straight decks or pinochle!
5
00:01:49,498 --> 00:01:52,524
Highballs or hot coffee! Hurry, hurry!
6
00:01:52,802 --> 00:01:55,965
This is my last day,
and after this I'm through!
7
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:41,630
I suppose I'm a little liquored up, people,
but that's all right.
8
00:02:41,767 --> 00:02:43,030
It was good liquor.
9
00:02:43,135 --> 00:02:47,163
High-class scotch, right off the top shelf.
10
00:02:47,306 --> 00:02:49,638
Ain't nobody never died from it...
11
00:02:49,875 --> 00:02:52,606
...except my uncle, ol' Wildcat Wilson.
12
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:55,719
He ain't drank nothin'
but that Wildcat Liquor.
13
00:02:56,015 --> 00:03:00,248
Burned his throat so bad
he couldn't eat nothin' for 27 days!
14
00:03:00,386 --> 00:03:02,286
Died in the bathtub!
15
00:03:02,446 --> 00:03:06,883
Too weak to turn off the water
and too weak to get up out the tub.
16
00:03:08,394 --> 00:03:10,260
But ol' Wildcat, he was somethin'.
17
00:03:10,396 --> 00:03:13,388
OI' Wildcat, he taught me how to dance!
Looka here, people.
18
00:03:13,699 --> 00:03:17,465
Let me show you what ol' Wildcat,
he done taught me this here dance.
19
00:03:25,811 --> 00:03:28,075
Do the thing, Brother Wilson, do the thing!
20
00:03:28,147 --> 00:03:30,878
Hey, man, why don't you sit down
and shut up!
21
00:03:31,417 --> 00:03:33,715
Makin' me sick
with your ol' Uncle Tom self.
22
00:03:35,688 --> 00:03:36,883
Ain't I somethin'?
23
00:03:37,248 --> 00:03:40,775
Yeah, you somethin' all right,
you oughta been dead and gone.
24
00:03:41,093 --> 00:03:42,185
Shut up, William.
25
00:03:42,428 --> 00:03:44,522
Shut up, I've been here longer than you.
26
00:03:44,797 --> 00:03:47,926
30 years and 14 days
and time out for the War.
27
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:52,934
Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
28
00:03:53,005 --> 00:03:56,532
This station is
Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
29
00:03:56,742 --> 00:04:00,508
This train is
headed for Climax, Petersburg...
30
00:04:00,613 --> 00:04:04,208
...Richmond, Alexandria, Virginia,
Washington, D.C...
31
00:04:04,358 --> 00:04:04,700
...and Baltimore, Maryland.
32
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:05,895
...and Baltimore, Maryland.
33
00:04:06,010 --> 00:04:10,140
Baltimore! Baltimore!
That's my last stop, brother, Baltimore!
34
00:04:10,181 --> 00:04:14,209
This ain't nothin' but ol'
no-count Rocky Mount, North Carolina...
35
00:04:15,628 --> 00:04:18,063
...but when the sun comes up
in the morning...
36
00:04:18,197 --> 00:04:21,360
...and the light commences
shining on the wheels of this train...
37
00:04:21,433 --> 00:04:23,834
...I'll be in Baltimore for sure.
38
00:04:24,236 --> 00:04:26,705
And that's my last stop!
39
00:04:26,972 --> 00:04:29,202
You folks can get off here if you wanna...
40
00:04:29,308 --> 00:04:31,174
-...or get off at the next stop...
- Shut up!
41
00:04:31,243 --> 00:04:36,238
...or the next stop, or the stop after that,
but the last stop for me is Baltimore!
42
00:04:36,915 --> 00:04:40,180
- I wonder what I'm a be doin' when--
- Man, will you shut up?
43
00:04:40,244 --> 00:04:43,009
- Sit down, will you, pal?
- Now, listen here, young boy!
44
00:04:43,339 --> 00:04:44,807
I ain't the boy! You the boy!
45
00:04:44,974 --> 00:04:46,533
- Boy?
- Boy!
46
00:05:09,231 --> 00:05:12,394
Lady, hurry up, please. We have to move.
47
00:05:33,188 --> 00:05:36,852
I want you all to call me
just as soon as I get home.
48
00:05:37,526 --> 00:05:40,860
- Don't ask me when I'll get home,
- Please, we have to move!
49
00:05:40,929 --> 00:05:44,661
'Cause I don't know.
And if I don't know, how you gonna know?
50
00:05:44,733 --> 00:05:46,360
- Lady--
- That's your problem.
51
00:05:46,602 --> 00:05:48,696
Lady, we've got a schedule.
52
00:05:51,173 --> 00:05:52,834
Listen Vaselina...
53
00:05:52,908 --> 00:05:55,502
...I want you to take somethin'
for that cold.
54
00:05:55,569 --> 00:05:57,833
Found her sneezin' in the summertime!
55
00:05:58,147 --> 00:06:00,912
Ain't no wintertime.
Ain't nobody goin' around sneezin'.
56
00:06:00,983 --> 00:06:02,951
You ain't got no icicles on your teeth!
57
00:06:03,010 --> 00:06:05,342
It's summertime! It ain't no wintertime!
58
00:06:05,421 --> 00:06:07,981
Lady, we're on a schedule.
59
00:06:08,057 --> 00:06:09,923
Don't move this train!
60
00:06:11,093 --> 00:06:12,492
You hear that?
61
00:06:14,196 --> 00:06:15,664
And Tertia Mae...
62
00:06:16,498 --> 00:06:21,026
...I want you to know that
I appreciate that potato salad.
63
00:06:21,103 --> 00:06:22,070
I'm so glad.
64
00:06:22,137 --> 00:06:25,163
- You put plenty pickles.
- Plenty of pickles...
65
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,073
-...and onions.
- Bless your heart.
66
00:06:29,812 --> 00:06:33,248
We can't hold this train no more.
Now, you either get on or get off.
67
00:06:33,315 --> 00:06:36,410
I said, don't move this train!
68
00:06:38,153 --> 00:06:42,886
I think the lady, Grace VIP,
said, "Don't move that train."
69
00:06:44,293 --> 00:06:49,231
And also, until she finishes
farewells to her family...
70
00:06:50,332 --> 00:06:54,360
...reunion relatives, I, her cousin Lincoln...
71
00:06:55,004 --> 00:06:59,635
...from the artistic archives of Hollywood...
72
00:07:00,075 --> 00:07:06,105
...as its first universal, unique movie star...
73
00:07:06,882 --> 00:07:11,877
...do hereby, himself,
in person, as Stepin Fetchit...
74
00:07:12,421 --> 00:07:15,914
...agrees with her that you
don't move this train!
75
00:07:16,225 --> 00:07:18,660
Thank you, cousin Lincoln!
76
00:07:19,395 --> 00:07:23,662
Now, y'all take care of yourselves
and don't do nothin' I wouldn't do.
77
00:07:23,766 --> 00:07:24,892
Bye! Bye!
78
00:07:25,267 --> 00:07:26,666
Bye, honey.
79
00:08:17,961 --> 00:08:19,451
Hello, people.
80
00:08:20,889 --> 00:08:24,018
My name is Grace Teasdale Grimes.
81
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,819
Miss Grace Teasdale Grimes.
82
00:08:30,732 --> 00:08:32,393
What's y'all's name?
83
00:08:47,849 --> 00:08:50,045
"Precious Lord
84
00:08:51,653 --> 00:08:53,747
"Take my hand
85
00:08:55,757 --> 00:08:57,725
-"Lead me on"
- Lady, please!
86
00:08:58,193 --> 00:09:00,992
Lady, please. Enough is enough.
87
00:09:01,396 --> 00:09:02,727
Well, do!
88
00:09:03,298 --> 00:09:05,892
Don't pay him no mind, sister.
89
00:09:06,201 --> 00:09:09,603
OI' Blaney, here, he comes from
one them families, you know?
90
00:09:10,772 --> 00:09:14,140
- Myself, I like a little singin'.
- Would you like some chicken, son?
91
00:09:14,242 --> 00:09:15,971
No, thank you, sister. I just ate.
92
00:09:16,612 --> 00:09:20,446
First place, you know, I ain't your sister.
You know that.
93
00:09:21,650 --> 00:09:25,143
Second place,
if you ate, you ain't eat enough.
94
00:09:26,555 --> 00:09:30,389
Third place, you ain't tasted nothin', son...
95
00:09:30,626 --> 00:09:32,526
...till you taste some this!
96
00:09:32,961 --> 00:09:36,693
- You liable to have a point there.
- Yeah.
97
00:09:36,965 --> 00:09:38,194
Don't humor the woman!
98
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:40,867
What you mean, Blaney?
She's bein' right nice.
99
00:09:40,936 --> 00:09:44,372
Yes, but she still has an
obligation to be a lady!
100
00:09:47,142 --> 00:09:48,337
Whoa, young man.
101
00:09:49,311 --> 00:09:52,212
If this wasn't Tertia Mae's potato salad...
102
00:09:52,848 --> 00:09:57,843
...you'd be wearin' it upside your face
and inside o' your britches!
103
00:09:58,387 --> 00:10:00,321
Nice as I try to be to everybody...
104
00:10:00,522 --> 00:10:03,583
...and you come talkin' 'bout I ain't no lady.
105
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:05,251
Now, now, now...
106
00:10:06,428 --> 00:10:07,759
...just sit down.
107
00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:10,289
All I tried to do...
108
00:10:10,565 --> 00:10:14,433
...was to share my chicken
and Tertia Mae's potato salad...
109
00:10:14,569 --> 00:10:19,336
...with everybody, and he come
talkin' 'bout I ain't no lady.
110
00:10:19,408 --> 00:10:22,844
I know, I know. But don't pay it no mind.
111
00:10:25,414 --> 00:10:28,782
A snotty-nose nothin'!
112
00:10:29,851 --> 00:10:34,015
I should beat him across his bald head
with my suitcase! That's what I should do!
113
00:10:34,222 --> 00:10:38,056
Now, Miss Grace Teasdale Grimes,
don't get upset.
114
00:10:38,193 --> 00:10:39,888
Today is my last day.
115
00:10:40,495 --> 00:10:41,485
It is?
116
00:10:42,189 --> 00:10:44,715
Yeah, this is his last day.
117
00:10:54,543 --> 00:10:57,012
Come on, why don't you
come on go home with me?
118
00:10:57,079 --> 00:11:00,982
I got a halfway boardin' house anyhow.
119
00:11:01,850 --> 00:11:03,545
You ain't got nothin' else to do.
120
00:11:03,618 --> 00:11:06,383
Why don't you come on...
Aw, turn me aloose!
121
00:11:06,688 --> 00:11:08,622
Why don't you come on, go home with me?
122
00:11:08,690 --> 00:11:10,886
No, I got a lot of people waitin' for me.
123
00:11:10,992 --> 00:11:14,860
- Maybe I go over there for a little while.
- Yeah. Good-bye, boys!
124
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:17,965
Be good boys and study hard, you hear?
125
00:11:18,567 --> 00:11:21,332
Nice boys, goin' to college and all.
126
00:11:21,770 --> 00:11:22,760
Ain't they?
127
00:11:22,871 --> 00:11:25,871
But don't worry about me.
This is my last day. This is it.
128
00:11:26,625 --> 00:11:29,526
Lemme hear a little
bit o' that Precious Lord.
129
00:11:29,661 --> 00:11:31,390
I don't sing in public.
130
00:11:32,998 --> 00:11:34,659
Me neither! Ain't gentleman-like.
131
00:11:35,142 --> 00:11:36,769
No, and it ain't ladylike!
132
00:11:37,461 --> 00:11:39,054
Look out, Baltimore!
133
00:11:39,404 --> 00:11:43,739
Lemme hear you say that one more time!
134
00:11:43,884 --> 00:11:45,716
Look out, Baltimore!
135
00:11:45,844 --> 00:11:47,972
Well, look out, Baltimore.
136
00:11:51,717 --> 00:11:53,515
Look out, Baltimore.
137
00:11:53,635 --> 00:11:56,468
- You know the first thing I'm gonna do?
- What?
138
00:11:56,555 --> 00:11:58,922
I'm gonna raise me some hell.
139
00:11:59,791 --> 00:12:01,691
Not in my house you ain't.
140
00:12:02,294 --> 00:12:06,492
I don't allow no gamblin', cussin'
and playin' cards...
141
00:12:06,698 --> 00:12:10,464
...and usin' the Lord's name in vain
in my house.
142
00:12:10,602 --> 00:12:13,799
Yeah, but what about dancin'
and singin' and entertainin'...
143
00:12:14,005 --> 00:12:16,167
...and playin' pretty for the people?
144
00:12:16,508 --> 00:12:20,001
I guess that's all right
unless it's on a Sunday.
145
00:12:20,178 --> 00:12:21,976
Today ain't Sunday is it?
146
00:12:22,514 --> 00:12:26,212
- No, if it was, I'd be in church.
- Well, look out!
147
00:12:26,551 --> 00:12:28,212
Look out, Baltimore.
148
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,449
Look out, Baltimore!
149
00:13:44,396 --> 00:13:45,989
What's that?
150
00:13:46,598 --> 00:13:50,557
"Welton J. Waters for Mayor?"
151
00:13:50,836 --> 00:13:52,133
That's what it says, now.
152
00:13:52,562 --> 00:13:56,430
I don't care what it says. It says it
right next door to my house.
153
00:14:05,117 --> 00:14:06,676
I'll close the door.
154
00:14:08,386 --> 00:14:10,548
"Welton J. Waters for Mayor."
155
00:14:10,856 --> 00:14:14,486
- Sounds colored to me.
- Then he ain't runnin' for no Mayor.
156
00:14:14,860 --> 00:14:17,295
- You know what I believe?
- What?
157
00:14:17,854 --> 00:14:20,050
I believe this is some kind o' trick.
158
00:14:20,282 --> 00:14:23,308
Me, too. Ain't no colored man
runnin' for no Mayor.
159
00:14:23,577 --> 00:14:27,343
I've heard tell of it before,
but not right next door to me.
160
00:14:27,781 --> 00:14:30,182
Ain't nobody want that ol' house!
161
00:14:30,442 --> 00:14:32,968
Been up for sale for 99 years.
162
00:14:33,078 --> 00:14:34,842
Grace, what do you think?
163
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:37,742
I think we oughta see about this.
164
00:14:37,849 --> 00:14:41,251
- That's what I believe, too.
- Yeah, we better look into this.
165
00:14:47,592 --> 00:14:50,755
Here, give me your cap.
I'll hang it up later.
166
00:14:51,229 --> 00:14:56,133
I'll hang it up later.
Just lay it here on top of my hat here.
167
00:14:57,102 --> 00:15:01,005
My goodness, you know one thing,
what's worryin' me?
168
00:15:01,239 --> 00:15:06,200
Who is them people livin' next door to me
that I don't know nothin' about?
169
00:15:06,945 --> 00:15:09,004
I don't know nothin' about them people.
170
00:15:09,114 --> 00:15:12,675
Hey, son, bring me that shoppin' bag!
171
00:15:12,817 --> 00:15:15,047
Yes'm, yes'm, fast as I can.
172
00:15:17,556 --> 00:15:21,823
He so used to it,
he just can't get away from it, that's all.
173
00:15:22,068 --> 00:15:26,301
I didn't mean to talk to you like that, son.
174
00:15:26,431 --> 00:15:29,128
I forgot this was your last day.
175
00:15:29,267 --> 00:15:33,295
That's all right. Just fix me another plate
and everything will be fine and mellow.
176
00:15:33,555 --> 00:15:35,284
I'm gonna fix you that.
177
00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:38,901
Go on in there and sit down.
I'll have it ready in a minute.
178
00:15:42,947 --> 00:15:45,109
That child, Tertia Mae...
179
00:15:47,719 --> 00:15:49,483
That's worryin' me.
180
00:15:49,988 --> 00:15:54,255
Them people next door to me,
and I don't know nothin' about 'em.
181
00:15:54,859 --> 00:15:57,226
I like to know who's around me.
182
00:15:59,364 --> 00:16:01,662
Don't sound right, I know that.
183
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,164
It sure don't sound right.
184
00:16:05,737 --> 00:16:08,069
That's a good piece o' chicken.
185
00:16:09,607 --> 00:16:11,268
That oughta do it.
186
00:16:16,881 --> 00:16:18,406
That's nice.
187
00:16:18,783 --> 00:16:20,751
That looks nice. Now, here you go.
188
00:16:20,985 --> 00:16:24,615
No, son, don't sit there, in that chair.
189
00:16:24,722 --> 00:16:27,657
That's my grandma's chair,
I'm kinda particular about that.
190
00:16:27,859 --> 00:16:30,726
I'm afraid you might break it.
There's all right.
191
00:16:31,062 --> 00:16:34,396
You like a whole lotta salt or a little bit?
192
00:16:35,308 --> 00:16:36,366
Half and half.
193
00:16:39,237 --> 00:16:42,036
I guess that's enough.
That oughta hold you.
194
00:16:42,207 --> 00:16:47,168
That's good down-home chicken
and Tertia Mae's potato salad.
195
00:16:47,645 --> 00:16:50,307
Tastes good. Tastes good.
196
00:16:50,381 --> 00:16:52,782
That house over there worries me.
197
00:16:53,435 --> 00:16:55,130
I don't see nothin' over there.
198
00:16:55,178 --> 00:16:57,237
Eat your chicken and take your time.
199
00:16:57,355 --> 00:16:59,653
I got time! I got time.
200
00:17:10,001 --> 00:17:13,460
That's too much dinin' room
for that house!
201
00:17:15,940 --> 00:17:18,170
Well, looka here.
202
00:17:21,387 --> 00:17:23,719
Blessed be His name!
203
00:17:23,782 --> 00:17:27,184
And twice blessed be whoever
got to buy that gal's liquor!
204
00:17:27,318 --> 00:17:30,219
There comes OI' Twice Blessed Be now!
205
00:17:30,288 --> 00:17:32,222
And he's blessin' her, too!
206
00:17:32,590 --> 00:17:34,820
That must be Welton J. Waters!
207
00:17:34,993 --> 00:17:37,257
Yeah, the next Mayor of Baltimore.
208
00:17:38,296 --> 00:17:40,025
Ain't he leanin' on her?
209
00:17:40,098 --> 00:17:42,260
Yeah, he's blessin' her out, too.
210
00:17:50,392 --> 00:17:51,587
How y' do.
211
00:17:51,943 --> 00:17:53,069
Good evening.
212
00:17:55,613 --> 00:17:58,014
Ain't that a kick in the head.
213
00:17:58,416 --> 00:18:02,353
- That ain't gonna stop you, is it?
- No, and it ain't gonna stop you neither.
214
00:18:02,487 --> 00:18:03,886
This means war!
215
00:18:04,497 --> 00:18:06,727
- Let's get outta here.
- All right.
216
00:18:10,862 --> 00:18:12,626
Put that bottle away and hurry up.
217
00:18:13,264 --> 00:18:14,493
Never mind!
218
00:18:15,366 --> 00:18:17,630
Look, go to the door. Fix your hair.
219
00:18:17,802 --> 00:18:20,203
- Fix your hair! Hurry up!
- Just wait a minute.
220
00:18:20,271 --> 00:18:22,330
Don't tell me to wait a minute!
Go to the door!
221
00:18:22,407 --> 00:18:25,240
- You go to hell!
- Go to the door!
222
00:18:25,493 --> 00:18:26,517
You just wait!
223
00:18:26,586 --> 00:18:30,147
In the mornin', noon, and nighttime,
this is the right time to get Zit...
224
00:18:30,215 --> 00:18:33,412
...the roach-killer in a can.
If Raid don't get it, Zit it!
225
00:18:33,484 --> 00:18:34,952
Just put the can in your hand...
226
00:18:35,019 --> 00:18:38,216
...and when that bug comes out the rug,
make a direct hit with Zit.
227
00:18:38,289 --> 00:18:40,917
Zit don't quit till
that roach is hurryin' for a buryin'.
228
00:18:40,992 --> 00:18:42,653
Just a minute.
229
00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:47,180
- Who is it, Creola?
- It's Mr. Annenberg, dear.
230
00:18:47,398 --> 00:18:49,662
Have him come right--
Wait a minute.
231
00:18:56,241 --> 00:18:57,436
Right in.
232
00:19:01,412 --> 00:19:03,437
- Creola.
- Hi, Jim.
233
00:19:03,548 --> 00:19:05,539
Vision of beauty.
234
00:19:07,518 --> 00:19:09,919
Welton! How are you, Welton?
235
00:19:09,988 --> 00:19:12,252
Jim, it's good to see you.
How about a martini?
236
00:19:12,323 --> 00:19:14,121
- Good idea.
- I'll get it, Jim.
237
00:19:14,192 --> 00:19:15,751
Just make yourself at home.
238
00:19:16,094 --> 00:19:17,926
Creola, you're a love.
239
00:19:18,730 --> 00:19:19,993
Isn't she great, Jim?
240
00:19:20,064 --> 00:19:22,938
She's great.
Just great, and she's really pretty.
241
00:19:23,230 --> 00:19:25,358
And a gem, and I really mean that.
242
00:19:25,411 --> 00:19:29,678
She's been so sensational,
moving here and everything.
243
00:19:29,741 --> 00:19:31,209
Listen, that's real courage.
244
00:19:31,276 --> 00:19:33,938
You two must be scared silly
living in this neighborhood.
245
00:19:34,220 --> 00:19:38,214
- Remember, I can talk their language.
- Yeah, I guess you can.
246
00:19:50,094 --> 00:19:51,960
- I see somethin'.
- What's that?
247
00:19:54,499 --> 00:19:56,058
A white man!
248
00:19:58,269 --> 00:19:59,896
Now then, Welton.
249
00:20:04,943 --> 00:20:08,140
- Nectar of the gods.
- Boy, doesn't she look great?
250
00:20:19,657 --> 00:20:22,627
- Okay, now we can talk.
- All right, then.
251
00:20:23,161 --> 00:20:25,061
Just to remind you what the Mayor says.
252
00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:28,627
You take the black vote away
from that fairy-voiced Collins...
253
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:31,067
...and that means you campaign hard...
254
00:20:31,202 --> 00:20:33,899
...and that means
you campaign successfully...
255
00:20:34,405 --> 00:20:36,635
...and you've got yourself $10 million.
256
00:20:37,592 --> 00:20:39,720
That's not $10 million in my pocket.
257
00:20:40,503 --> 00:20:42,801
No, it's not in your pocket.
258
00:20:43,715 --> 00:20:48,277
Who in hell or Baltimore is going to just
hand you $10 million, Welton?
259
00:20:49,354 --> 00:20:52,517
But you know as well as I do
that if you're in charge...
260
00:20:52,590 --> 00:20:56,891
...of a $10 million
urban renewal program for four years...
261
00:20:57,262 --> 00:21:01,597
...I think you can find ways to get
a chunk of that money into your pocket.
262
00:21:11,843 --> 00:21:13,072
Besides...
263
00:21:13,444 --> 00:21:17,244
...I know you always want
to do good for your people, Welton.
264
00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:23,043
Just think how much good you can do
with that kind of money at your disposal.
265
00:21:25,056 --> 00:21:28,754
Handle $10 million right, you've got power.
266
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,258
That's all I need to know...
267
00:21:34,098 --> 00:21:36,362
-...right now.
- I hope so.
268
00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:38,902
- Why?
- Because you are heavy.
269
00:21:41,706 --> 00:21:44,334
Sure there's a little deception in it.
270
00:21:44,709 --> 00:21:47,337
But the ends, Welton, the ends.
271
00:21:48,646 --> 00:21:50,614
You know what they justify?
272
00:21:51,549 --> 00:21:53,711
Yeah, I know what they justify.
273
00:21:53,835 --> 00:21:55,166
All right.
274
00:22:02,126 --> 00:22:03,924
We shall decide...
275
00:22:04,696 --> 00:22:07,688
...where you do campaign
and where you don't.
276
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,508
This ain't gonna do no good.
277
00:22:17,825 --> 00:22:22,490
- Shut up and drill.
- I can't go through your wall and theirs.
278
00:22:23,723 --> 00:22:27,250
- Have you got a better way?
- Yeah, come on, come on.
279
00:22:29,479 --> 00:22:32,244
I knew my man would have a better idea.
280
00:22:33,166 --> 00:22:37,603
I do want you to know, Welton,
that moving in here was a stroke of genius.
281
00:22:37,729 --> 00:22:40,061
Pure genius. The Mayor loved it.
282
00:22:40,398 --> 00:22:42,492
Jim, I have to be with the people.
283
00:22:42,567 --> 00:22:45,696
Fine. Just get out of here
right after the election.
284
00:22:45,770 --> 00:22:48,205
- Because I don't think you're gonna--
- Excuse me.
285
00:22:48,306 --> 00:22:50,172
Anybody ready for another drink?
286
00:22:50,408 --> 00:22:53,503
No, thank you, hon.
I'm afraid I've got to really take off now.
287
00:22:53,728 --> 00:22:56,595
Really? I'm going to have another one.
288
00:22:56,714 --> 00:23:01,049
- I think Jim's in a hurry, Creola.
- So am I, for another drink.
289
00:23:04,697 --> 00:23:06,927
Maybe we should talk a bit more.
290
00:23:08,268 --> 00:23:10,464
We've been over everything.
I know what you want.
291
00:23:10,561 --> 00:23:12,586
Yes, but does she know it?
292
00:23:13,097 --> 00:23:16,226
That's what I wanna know.
Does she know it?
293
00:23:16,734 --> 00:23:19,726
She is my concern, only my concern.
294
00:23:19,804 --> 00:23:21,135
I'm not a "concern."
295
00:23:21,531 --> 00:23:24,364
You are my concern
until this election is over!
296
00:23:24,475 --> 00:23:27,103
My wife is never a concern of yours!
You understand that?
297
00:23:27,211 --> 00:23:29,578
- You understand me?
- You listen to what I'm saying.
298
00:23:29,814 --> 00:23:32,078
If she ruins your life, that's your problem.
299
00:23:32,133 --> 00:23:35,330
If she does anything to ruin this campaign,
that's my problem!
300
00:23:35,453 --> 00:23:36,477
Look, man.
301
00:23:36,554 --> 00:23:40,115
You mention my wife one more time,
and I'll go to the street on you.
302
00:23:40,224 --> 00:23:42,818
Go ahead! Go ahead!
Where do you think I was raised?
303
00:23:42,894 --> 00:23:45,488
In the fairy castle? Now, you listen to me.
304
00:23:48,966 --> 00:23:53,631
I seen all them big-time singers,
couldn't sing half as good as me.
305
00:23:53,871 --> 00:23:57,535
Jimmy Rushing, Cab Calloway,
Louis Jordan.
306
00:23:58,209 --> 00:24:00,439
Waited on 'em. Dancers, too.
307
00:24:00,511 --> 00:24:05,506
Bill Robinson, Dancin' Dotson
doin' his ol' dance called The Fit.
308
00:24:08,553 --> 00:24:13,514
Everybody. Butterbeans and Susie,
had both o' them once.
309
00:24:13,958 --> 00:24:17,895
'Course, they'd speak to me,
but they had some ol' kinda air about 'em...
310
00:24:17,962 --> 00:24:21,762
...'cause they could just tell by lookin'
that they wasn't good as me.
311
00:24:21,832 --> 00:24:25,097
Couldn't sing as good,
dance or tell jokes neither.
312
00:24:25,703 --> 00:24:27,193
Not half as good as me.
313
00:24:27,488 --> 00:24:31,254
...Indian, Puerto Rican,
White, anything but what she was.
314
00:24:31,475 --> 00:24:34,536
How do you think that's going to
go over with your militants?
315
00:24:34,612 --> 00:24:36,842
- Don't worry.
- How will that go over with anybody?
316
00:24:36,914 --> 00:24:38,678
Look, I said, "Don't worry about it."
317
00:24:38,749 --> 00:24:41,719
I'm trying to keep you
from hurting yourself.
318
00:24:41,994 --> 00:24:44,429
- You've got a chance--
- I don't need you to tell me--
319
00:24:44,488 --> 00:24:47,253
You need me!
You need me to tell you this.
320
00:24:47,758 --> 00:24:51,888
It isn't anything against your wife,
but if she drinks a lot...
321
00:24:52,330 --> 00:24:53,923
...she talks a lot.
322
00:24:54,106 --> 00:24:58,009
This business of her trying to pass,
small as it may seem to you...
323
00:24:58,069 --> 00:25:01,596
...if the papers get it, if the people get it,
you're dead!
324
00:25:01,839 --> 00:25:04,433
No job, no $10 million.
325
00:25:08,913 --> 00:25:12,110
You don't have to like me to listen to me.
326
00:25:12,516 --> 00:25:13,745
Watch her.
327
00:25:14,210 --> 00:25:15,439
Good night.
328
00:25:17,755 --> 00:25:19,018
Good night.
329
00:25:37,174 --> 00:25:38,369
Puerto Rican?
330
00:25:39,644 --> 00:25:42,272
I changed my name, my makeup, my hair...
331
00:25:42,346 --> 00:25:44,940
...and I tried to speak some Spanish.
332
00:25:46,984 --> 00:25:47,974
White?
333
00:25:48,227 --> 00:25:51,356
Those blotches on my skin
you used to ask about?
334
00:25:51,756 --> 00:25:53,918
Guess you never heard of Dr. Palmer?
335
00:25:57,328 --> 00:25:59,558
Dr. Palmer's skin lightener.
336
00:26:04,635 --> 00:26:06,069
I'll see you in the morning.
337
00:26:06,137 --> 00:26:07,798
I was only 17.
338
00:26:08,839 --> 00:26:10,466
I went crazy for a year.
339
00:26:21,052 --> 00:26:23,248
Everybody was 17 at one time.
340
00:26:24,013 --> 00:26:25,879
17 and dreaming.
341
00:26:29,493 --> 00:26:30,585
What?
342
00:26:31,595 --> 00:26:33,586
I was 17 one time...
343
00:26:34,899 --> 00:26:36,924
...and guess what I was going to be.
344
00:26:37,535 --> 00:26:38,559
What?
345
00:26:40,371 --> 00:26:41,668
The Mayor.
346
00:26:43,507 --> 00:26:45,339
The Mayor of Baltimore.
347
00:26:47,745 --> 00:26:51,147
I was going to be the best Mayor
this city ever had.
348
00:26:54,151 --> 00:26:57,815
I was going to be honest,
straighten everything out.
349
00:26:59,223 --> 00:27:00,884
I really meant it.
350
00:27:03,194 --> 00:27:06,892
My father lost his job at City Hall
because he didn't play the game.
351
00:27:08,866 --> 00:27:10,925
I was 17 that year.
352
00:27:12,336 --> 00:27:13,861
And I swore...
353
00:27:14,572 --> 00:27:17,473
...there wouldn't be a game
when I became the Mayor.
354
00:27:18,384 --> 00:27:20,079
So I went on to school.
355
00:27:21,078 --> 00:27:23,376
And I prepared myself.
356
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,598
Two law degrees.
357
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,149
Two of 'em.
358
00:27:31,922 --> 00:27:33,822
One of 'em is a Master's.
359
00:27:35,292 --> 00:27:38,353
I learned city government
inside out and back!
360
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,070
Then I found out what I needed.
361
00:27:44,201 --> 00:27:47,535
Money, big folks' money.
362
00:27:50,675 --> 00:27:52,905
They didn't give it out to us.
363
00:27:54,145 --> 00:27:56,045
Not here in Baltimore.
364
00:27:57,623 --> 00:27:59,990
They don't do that here, Creola.
365
00:28:11,929 --> 00:28:14,830
You're either asleep or passed out drunk.
366
00:28:15,499 --> 00:28:17,126
I don't know which.
367
00:28:25,476 --> 00:28:27,342
But what's so weird is...
368
00:28:28,045 --> 00:28:29,308
...I care.
369
00:28:31,282 --> 00:28:33,341
I don't want to see you drunk.
370
00:28:34,385 --> 00:28:37,514
I don't want to run for Mayor
so someone else can win.
371
00:28:39,490 --> 00:28:41,424
And quiet as it's kept...
372
00:28:42,259 --> 00:28:44,318
...that business about you passing...
373
00:28:45,262 --> 00:28:47,060
...doesn't mean a hill of beans.
374
00:28:47,164 --> 00:28:48,654
Doesn't mean a thing.
375
00:28:50,067 --> 00:28:53,662
What's making all this happen
is all that money under me.
376
00:28:54,672 --> 00:28:55,764
And you...
377
00:28:57,341 --> 00:28:59,366
...sweet baby, you think it's you.
378
00:29:16,627 --> 00:29:18,823
You folks gotta excuse me...
379
00:29:18,896 --> 00:29:21,991
...for puttin' this microphone
down y'all's chimney, but...
380
00:29:22,233 --> 00:29:25,601
...I was in the Signal Corps
and show business, too...
381
00:29:25,770 --> 00:29:30,139
...and I know more about microphones
than anybody in anyplace.
382
00:29:30,341 --> 00:29:34,278
What I'm doin' here now
is more like fishin'.
383
00:29:34,745 --> 00:29:39,615
I never know when I'm gonna
catch me somethin' good and big...
384
00:29:40,084 --> 00:29:43,145
...and worth a heap, a heap o' what I want.
385
00:29:43,838 --> 00:29:48,139
Father, you know this
is your work that I'm doin'.
386
00:29:49,660 --> 00:29:53,494
Because, if I was just meddlin' in
somebody else's business...
387
00:29:53,864 --> 00:29:58,165
...it wouldn't be long before you'd
be workin' in mysterious ways...
388
00:29:58,235 --> 00:30:00,499
...your wonders to perform...
389
00:30:00,971 --> 00:30:05,841
...and wind up performin' a wonder
upside o' my mysterious head.
390
00:30:06,377 --> 00:30:09,608
But Father, you know as well as I do...
391
00:30:09,947 --> 00:30:14,077
...ain't no white man got no business...
392
00:30:14,151 --> 00:30:18,486
...in no colored folks'
house this time o' night!
393
00:30:20,724 --> 00:30:22,192
And like I say...
394
00:30:24,361 --> 00:30:27,558
You know this is your work
that I'm doing Father.
395
00:30:27,998 --> 00:30:30,160
You know this is your work.
396
00:30:30,901 --> 00:30:32,835
Your work is all.
397
00:30:33,170 --> 00:30:35,571
I wanna always do your work.
398
00:30:48,352 --> 00:30:50,582
Look at that, the moon's on me.
399
00:30:52,189 --> 00:30:55,352
Do a dance, sing a song or tell a joke.
400
00:30:56,127 --> 00:30:57,686
The moon is on me.
401
00:30:59,572 --> 00:31:01,666
No, not now. Not now.
402
00:31:05,302 --> 00:31:06,497
Excuse me.
403
00:31:07,671 --> 00:31:11,301
Who said excuse me?
I'm the one that sneezed.
404
00:31:11,442 --> 00:31:13,376
! thought you were asleep.
405
00:31:13,444 --> 00:31:16,038
Or passed out drunk.
You didn't know which.
406
00:31:18,716 --> 00:31:19,706
Forthwith!
407
00:31:21,785 --> 00:31:23,150
Come here, quick!
408
00:31:26,490 --> 00:31:27,514
What's goin' on?
409
00:31:27,591 --> 00:31:30,458
- This thing works!
-'Course it works!
410
00:31:30,528 --> 00:31:32,462
What do you expect?
411
00:31:33,164 --> 00:31:36,065
We gonna find out somethin' now.
412
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,790
Good Lord!
413
00:31:38,185 --> 00:31:39,243
Let's listen!
414
00:31:39,436 --> 00:31:41,268
! didn't know you heard me.
415
00:31:41,589 --> 00:31:42,784
Ain't that somethin?
416
00:31:42,873 --> 00:31:44,204
! want to know everything.
417
00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:46,168
Everything they want.
418
00:31:47,987 --> 00:31:50,888
They want Welton J. Waters
for $10 million.
419
00:31:52,716 --> 00:31:54,900
Welton J. Waters for Mayor!
Vote for Welton J. Waters.
420
00:31:54,902 --> 00:31:56,893
Welton J. Waters for Mayor!
Vote for Welton J. Waters.
421
00:31:56,987 --> 00:31:58,455
Waters is runnin', baby.
422
00:31:58,522 --> 00:32:02,925
He's runnin' for you,
runnin' hard and fast and can't finish last!
423
00:32:02,993 --> 00:32:05,291
Welton's gonna win when you put him in.
424
00:32:05,462 --> 00:32:08,454
The wells don't run dry
with Waters ridin' high.
425
00:32:08,666 --> 00:32:11,533
Put him in the chair! Make him the Mayor!
426
00:32:12,578 --> 00:32:14,672
Welton J. Waters for Mayor!
427
00:32:14,972 --> 00:32:17,873
Just leave me be,
because I'm goin' over there!
428
00:32:18,208 --> 00:32:20,609
I'm gonna shut his mouth...
429
00:32:20,744 --> 00:32:23,736
...his eyes, his nose from here to hereafter!
430
00:32:23,814 --> 00:32:26,283
Grace, wait a minute, wait now.
431
00:32:26,350 --> 00:32:27,818
Don't "wait" me!
432
00:32:28,268 --> 00:32:31,670
That man don't mean nobody no good!
433
00:32:32,106 --> 00:32:34,837
He don't mean my people no good!
434
00:32:36,593 --> 00:32:40,325
He's a liar, his feet stinks,
and he don't love his Jesus--
435
00:32:40,397 --> 00:32:42,195
I said "wait," woman!
436
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:45,735
Just listen to me for a minute!
Come over here.
437
00:32:46,036 --> 00:32:50,439
- Listen to you?
- Come on! Sit on down there a minute.
438
00:32:50,507 --> 00:32:53,169
- I might as well--
- I know what you think.
439
00:32:53,344 --> 00:32:57,906
- Do you know what to do?
- Now, that man is runnin' for the Mayor!
440
00:32:57,981 --> 00:32:59,915
- He ain't!
- Lemme talk!
441
00:33:00,517 --> 00:33:02,849
- Go ahead, talk.
- The man is runnin' for the Mayor.
442
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,153
I don't like what he's doin' no more
than you, but he's runnin', you understand?
443
00:33:07,224 --> 00:33:10,558
And I been thinkin' all night long
when I was in that other room...
444
00:33:10,627 --> 00:33:13,221
...that I might get some sort of a chance.
445
00:33:13,997 --> 00:33:16,193
- Go ahead and talk.
- I might get a chance.
446
00:33:16,266 --> 00:33:20,396
Years ago, I spent some time on the stage,
and I'd do my dance...
447
00:33:20,471 --> 00:33:22,405
...and everybody said, "Go 'head!"
448
00:33:22,473 --> 00:33:25,238
And I'd sing my song,
and they'd say, "Sing it!"
449
00:33:25,375 --> 00:33:28,936
Then I'd tell my jokes
and everybody'd just fall on the floor.
450
00:33:30,981 --> 00:33:32,540
Then, I don't know.
451
00:33:32,933 --> 00:33:37,268
Hard times came
and I started workin' on the railroad...
452
00:33:37,488 --> 00:33:40,651
...waitin' on white folks, colored, too.
453
00:33:40,991 --> 00:33:45,155
High yellow, brown skin, high-class blacks.
454
00:33:46,246 --> 00:33:48,908
And here this man is right next door.
455
00:33:48,999 --> 00:33:50,933
Now, he gotta have a big campaign.
456
00:33:51,001 --> 00:33:55,063
Somebody got to entertain
and draw the crowd for him to talk to.
457
00:33:56,039 --> 00:33:58,872
Man, don't be no fool!
458
00:33:59,009 --> 00:34:02,309
Fool? I ain't no fool!
All I need is a chance!
459
00:34:02,579 --> 00:34:05,014
Forthwith Wilson
was way ahead of his time.
460
00:34:05,082 --> 00:34:06,709
- Yeah.
- Anybody tell you that.
461
00:34:06,784 --> 00:34:09,378
Everybody like my stuff!
All the big producers!
462
00:34:09,820 --> 00:34:14,451
Silas Green from New Orleans,
he pat me on the shoulder once.
463
00:34:14,691 --> 00:34:19,151
Because what I did, Grace, I sung:
"Hey, big dancin' boy
464
00:34:19,238 --> 00:34:20,967
"What you gonna do when the show close?
465
00:34:21,098 --> 00:34:24,500
"Hey, big dancin' boy,
what you gonna do with your shiny toes?
466
00:34:24,568 --> 00:34:26,900
"Gonna tap down
the alley to your first-floor rear?
467
00:34:26,970 --> 00:34:28,995
"Sit by yourself and drink day-old beer?
468
00:34:29,072 --> 00:34:32,508
"Hey, big dancin' boy
Tell me what you gonna do."
469
00:34:32,576 --> 00:34:35,204
See, Grace,
I sung that, then I did my dance.
470
00:34:35,279 --> 00:34:37,611
Now, this is what I'm 'a do
at the campaign.
471
00:34:37,681 --> 00:34:40,810
You ain't never seen me do this before.
Watch this.
472
00:34:48,825 --> 00:34:51,385
That's enough. That's enough!
473
00:34:51,829 --> 00:34:55,561
Stop dancin' on my linoleum,
wearin' my linoleum out!
474
00:34:56,133 --> 00:34:59,433
- I just bought it!
- I can see those people now!
475
00:34:59,570 --> 00:35:02,665
20, 30, 40 thousand
watchin' ol' Forthwith do it.
476
00:35:02,973 --> 00:35:04,498
Go 'head on, Forthwith!
477
00:35:04,558 --> 00:35:07,721
And you gonna be there,
Grace Teasdale Grimes.
478
00:35:08,353 --> 00:35:10,685
You gonna be there sayin',
"Everybody, I know him."
479
00:35:10,789 --> 00:35:14,316
That's my friend--
My singin', dancin' gentleman friend.
480
00:35:14,384 --> 00:35:18,343
Hey, Grace, let me go talk to the man.
Just lemme go over and talk to him!
481
00:35:18,455 --> 00:35:21,481
Just lemme right go over there
and talk to the man, Grace!
482
00:35:21,925 --> 00:35:25,020
If it'll do you any good, go ahead.
483
00:35:25,095 --> 00:35:28,030
You a good church sister,
Grace Teasdale Grimes.
484
00:35:30,267 --> 00:35:34,829
- I told you 'bout dancin' in here!
-20, 30, 40,000 watchin' ol' Forthwith do it!
485
00:35:35,105 --> 00:35:37,574
Go 'head, Forthwith!
486
00:35:37,608 --> 00:35:38,958
Say, "Good luck!"
487
00:35:41,111 --> 00:35:43,375
- Good luck.
- All right!
488
00:35:43,947 --> 00:35:46,348
Good Lord, good luck!
489
00:35:48,135 --> 00:35:50,263
"Flat foot floogie with the floy joy
490
00:35:50,354 --> 00:35:52,049
"Flat foot floogie with the floy doy
491
00:35:52,122 --> 00:35:54,489
"Floy joy, floy doy, floy joy, floy doy"
492
00:35:54,541 --> 00:35:58,808
"Do the camel walk, do the camel walk,
do the camel walk, do the next one out"
493
00:36:07,971 --> 00:36:12,374
"Hey, Mr. Funny Man,
how you gonna do your duty?
494
00:36:12,776 --> 00:36:17,612
"Hey, Mr. Funny Man,
how you gonna tell Aunt Rudy?
495
00:36:17,681 --> 00:36:19,945
"How you gonna tell her
that the goose done died?
496
00:36:20,017 --> 00:36:22,179
"Don't seem to me she gonna split her side

00:36:22,252 --> 00:36:25,882
"Hey, Mr. Funny Man,
tell me what you gonna do
498
00:36:25,981 --> 00:36:28,609
-"Hey, Daddy Raunchy Song--"
- Yes?
499
00:36:29,117 --> 00:36:30,482
I wanna see the Mayor!
500
00:36:33,197 --> 00:36:35,291
- Come in.
- Thank you very much.
501
00:36:40,270 --> 00:36:41,795
Welton, this is a neighbor.
502
00:36:41,872 --> 00:36:43,966
I'm not just an ordinary neighbor,
Mr. Mayor.
503
00:36:44,041 --> 00:36:47,636
- Well, I'm not the Mayor yet.
- You the Mayor as far as I'm concerned.
504
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,587
Now, you might o' heard tell o' me.
My name is Forthwith Wilson.
505
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,041
Yes, Mr. Wilson, what can I do for you?
506
00:36:54,343 --> 00:36:56,812
I see you don't know
nothin' about show business.
507
00:36:56,887 --> 00:37:00,949
If you did, you wouldn't be askin'
Forthwith Wilson what he could do for you.
508
00:37:01,275 --> 00:37:02,902
You understand what I'm sayin'?
509
00:37:02,985 --> 00:37:04,976
Now, Forthwith can do this for you.
510
00:37:11,201 --> 00:37:14,466
That's wonderful, Mr. Wilson,
but I'm not a stage producer.
511
00:37:14,538 --> 00:37:17,235
I know that.
But I can see you got a good eye.
512
00:37:17,307 --> 00:37:20,538
You had to have a
good eye to pick this pretty lady.
513
00:37:20,611 --> 00:37:22,602
- Ain't that the truth?
- Thank you, Mr. Wilson.
514
00:37:22,671 --> 00:37:25,197
- Just call me Forthwith.
- Forthwith.
515
00:37:25,282 --> 00:37:26,443
You, too, Mr. Mayor...
516
00:37:26,516 --> 00:37:29,781
...because Forthwith is gonna be
a very important name to you.
517
00:37:29,836 --> 00:37:33,033
Lemme ask you one thing.
You gonna have a campaign rally, right?
518
00:37:33,123 --> 00:37:34,147
We do have plans.
519
00:37:34,216 --> 00:37:37,208
I know you got plans,
but they ain't big enough!
520
00:37:37,294 --> 00:37:40,491
'Cause I can see in your
plans you don't have Forthwith Wilson!
521
00:37:40,564 --> 00:37:41,929
I appreciate that--
522
00:37:41,982 --> 00:37:44,883
You appreciate it?
The people are gonna appreciate it!
523
00:37:45,002 --> 00:37:48,563
- You ever heard me sing?
- No, but I really don't have the time.
524
00:37:48,672 --> 00:37:50,606
No. I'm not gonna sing for you now!
525
00:37:50,674 --> 00:37:53,939
I gotta have at least a 10-piece band,
at least 10 pieces.
526
00:37:53,994 --> 00:37:56,554
You ever hear my jokes?
Make you fall on the floor!
527
00:37:56,647 --> 00:37:59,776
- I hadn't intended to fall on the floor!
- Go ahead, Mr. Wilson.
528
00:37:59,833 --> 00:38:03,326
- Tell us one of your jokes.
- You better get ready to fall on the floor...
529
00:38:03,420 --> 00:38:06,082
...whoop, holler, carry on,
'cause that's what happens!
530
00:38:06,156 --> 00:38:08,454
Brother,
I've got a lot of things on my mind.
531
00:38:08,525 --> 00:38:11,620
Go ahead, Mr. Wilson, tell us a quick one.
We could use a joke.
532
00:38:11,862 --> 00:38:14,422
- Yes, ma'am. Like I was sayin...
- Whatever you want!
533
00:38:14,498 --> 00:38:17,433
I wanna tell you about these
two boogabears in the laundromat.
534
00:38:17,501 --> 00:38:18,491
Wait a minute!
535
00:38:19,636 --> 00:38:21,502
There's going to be a rally soon.
536
00:38:22,973 --> 00:38:24,441
- You can entertain.
- I can?
537
00:38:24,508 --> 00:38:27,569
Only if you tell us about
the two boogabears in the laundromat.
538
00:38:27,644 --> 00:38:29,908
- It's gonna be a big rally, right?
- Not really.
539
00:38:29,980 --> 00:38:31,470
You just sayin' that, Mr. Mayor.
540
00:38:31,531 --> 00:38:34,762
I bet you gonna have a marchin' band,
a line o' chorus girls...
541
00:38:34,851 --> 00:38:37,343
...and a whole bunch o' tap-dancers,
but mainly...
542
00:38:37,554 --> 00:38:41,013
-...you gonna have Forthwith Wilson!
- We're gonna have Forthwith Wilson?
543
00:38:41,091 --> 00:38:42,149
That's right!
544
00:38:42,209 --> 00:38:44,234
Lemme explain to you
why I'm doin' all this.
545
00:38:44,328 --> 00:38:48,231
I'm doing this because I feel,
as one colored man to another...
546
00:38:48,298 --> 00:38:50,858
...I got to help out when and how I can.
547
00:38:50,934 --> 00:38:53,164
Ain't you doin' all you can
to help the colored?
548
00:38:53,236 --> 00:38:54,567
Yes, I...
549
00:38:56,898 --> 00:38:59,390
I'm doing my part to help the colored.
550
00:38:59,568 --> 00:39:01,900
So, like! say,! gotta help you out.
551
00:39:01,979 --> 00:39:06,041
I'm 'a "help you out" if you don't hurry up
and get in here, I know that.
552
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:07,984
You've got a deal, brother.
553
00:39:08,051 --> 00:39:10,019
"You got a deal, brother."
554
00:39:10,078 --> 00:39:12,376
It don't even sound colored.
555
00:39:12,489 --> 00:39:16,050
A young piece o' educated
nothin' sittin' over there...
556
00:39:16,193 --> 00:39:18,821
...messin' all over the colored people.
557
00:39:18,996 --> 00:39:20,760
And what am I doin'?
558
00:39:20,964 --> 00:39:23,956
Settin' over here like
a piece o' salt-pork Philistine...
559
00:39:24,101 --> 00:39:27,969
...waitin' on some
used-to-be Pullman Porter...
560
00:39:28,705 --> 00:39:30,969
...to do his song and dance.
561
00:39:31,925 --> 00:39:34,451
And one is 'bout as sad as the other.
562
00:39:36,346 --> 00:39:38,974
Come on in! It ain't never been locked.
563
00:39:39,683 --> 00:39:41,447
I don't lock no doors.
564
00:39:41,518 --> 00:39:45,614
"Hey, Daddy Raunchy Song,
runnin' in the store stealin' hair grease
565
00:39:45,689 --> 00:39:49,922
"Hey, Daddy Raunchy Song,
what you gonna do 'bout the police?
566
00:39:49,993 --> 00:39:51,961
"What you gonna do
when they whip your head?
567
00:39:52,029 --> 00:39:54,191
"What kinda song can
you sing when you're dead?
568
00:39:54,264 --> 00:39:58,064
"Hey, Daddy Raunchy Song,
tell me what you gonna do"
569
00:39:58,135 --> 00:39:59,330
Sister Grace!
570
00:40:00,470 --> 00:40:02,063
What you want, brother?
571
00:40:02,772 --> 00:40:05,833
I wanna tell you, I'm 'a do it! Do it! Do it!
572
00:40:05,909 --> 00:40:08,037
'Deed, I'm 'a do it, do it!
573
00:40:08,094 --> 00:40:09,721
Wow, I'm 'a do it!
574
00:40:09,980 --> 00:40:13,439
20, 30, 40 thousand people...
575
00:40:14,417 --> 00:40:17,114
...watchin ol' Forthwith do it.
576
00:40:38,441 --> 00:40:42,537
Now, Grace, you seen me act up
and carry on and all that kind of stuff.
577
00:40:42,612 --> 00:40:46,810
You get yourself ready for a show tonight,
you and all them rest of the people.
578
00:40:47,125 --> 00:40:51,255
I don't know how many'll be there, but
they tell me it's gonna be standin' room.
579
00:40:51,354 --> 00:40:54,255
That's what they say in show business--
Standin' room.
580
00:40:54,324 --> 00:40:55,587
Standin' room only.
581
00:40:55,659 --> 00:40:59,618
You don't know nothin' 'bout
no show business, but that's all right.
582
00:40:59,796 --> 00:41:02,265
Yeah, but how much further
we got to walk?
583
00:41:02,958 --> 00:41:04,517
My feet's tired.
584
00:41:04,701 --> 00:41:08,296
Look like we coulda got a taxi
or a bus or somethin'.
585
00:41:08,438 --> 00:41:10,406
No, we can't do that.
586
00:41:10,473 --> 00:41:11,838
Walkin' helps you!
587
00:41:11,908 --> 00:41:15,276
It takes all the worry off your mind,
the butterflies out your stomach.
588
00:41:15,971 --> 00:41:19,032
I don't care how many...
589
00:41:19,115 --> 00:41:23,882
...30, 40 thousand people
goin' crazy over you tonight.
590
00:41:24,988 --> 00:41:28,515
But I'm gonna do that no-good Waters...
591
00:41:28,825 --> 00:41:31,419
...just like the Lord did Lazarus.
592
00:41:31,728 --> 00:41:35,426
And every sore I leave on top of his head...
593
00:41:35,799 --> 00:41:38,894
...is gonna say, "Yours truly, Grace."
594
00:41:39,603 --> 00:41:41,264
No. Come on, Grace.
595
00:41:41,371 --> 00:41:43,806
Come on. Look, we comin' to the church.
596
00:41:43,940 --> 00:41:45,635
- Big church, too.
- Sure is!
597
00:41:45,784 --> 00:41:47,115
Hot dog! Look at that!
598
00:41:47,210 --> 00:41:50,771
Boy, don't you worry 'bout no Waters,
'cause what I do here tonight--
599
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,942
Boy, he gonna be so proud o' me.
Boy, he'll do anything I say.
600
00:41:55,018 --> 00:41:58,215
Quit if I say so.
So don't worry 'bout no Waters.
601
00:41:58,421 --> 00:42:00,913
Come on, we goin' into this church.
602
00:42:05,862 --> 00:42:07,921
First of all, wait. How do I look?
603
00:42:07,998 --> 00:42:10,695
Turn around, lemme brush your coat off.
604
00:42:10,867 --> 00:42:14,462
Now, don't go dancin' in the Church.
That's a sin.
605
00:42:14,571 --> 00:42:17,233
No, I got a surprise
in keepin' with the Lord.
606
00:42:17,307 --> 00:42:20,004
Hey, Grace, look.
What do that say right up there?
607
00:42:20,535 --> 00:42:23,630
"Tonight, campaign rally
608
00:42:23,813 --> 00:42:26,180
"for Welton J. Waters.
609
00:42:26,349 --> 00:42:30,684
"Special Guest Entertainer,
Forthwith Wilson."
610
00:42:30,754 --> 00:42:32,586
Take my arm, girl.
611
00:42:32,756 --> 00:42:35,191
You walkin' with a star!
612
00:42:39,796 --> 00:42:42,094
I don't hear no noise down here.
613
00:42:42,332 --> 00:42:44,357
You sure we at the right church?
614
00:42:44,434 --> 00:42:46,994
Sure! Don't let these churches fool you.
615
00:42:47,170 --> 00:42:49,662
Now, now, they hold plenty o' people.
616
00:42:49,773 --> 00:42:53,334
They're probably quiet sayin' prayers
or gettin' their pictures took.
617
00:42:53,410 --> 00:42:54,434
Yeah?
618
00:42:54,511 --> 00:42:57,276
Radio people gonna be there,
television, too.
619
00:42:57,414 --> 00:42:59,041
- Yeah?
- Yeah!
620
00:42:59,399 --> 00:43:03,029
The arrow's pointin' toward the door.
It say right in here.
621
00:43:03,219 --> 00:43:06,018
Now, wait a minute! You sure you ready?
622
00:43:06,122 --> 00:43:09,057
All those years I been waitin'?
All those railroad years?
623
00:43:09,125 --> 00:43:12,652
30 years and 14 days,
and you ask me, "Am I ready?"
624
00:43:13,129 --> 00:43:14,597
Come on.
625
00:43:20,170 --> 00:43:22,161
Good God!
626
00:43:24,641 --> 00:43:28,509
Please don't use His name in vain!
627
00:43:28,945 --> 00:43:30,879
Not right here in the church!
628
00:43:33,416 --> 00:43:35,077
Go 'head!
629
00:44:07,117 --> 00:44:09,779
Ladies and gentlemen!
630
00:44:25,869 --> 00:44:27,337
Good evening.
631
00:46:14,194 --> 00:46:17,926
Let 'em go ahead. Don't mean nothin'.
632
00:46:18,364 --> 00:46:20,856
Hand me a couple more clothespins, son.
633
00:46:23,286 --> 00:46:26,119
Maybe that's how they
do things nowadays.
634
00:46:26,489 --> 00:46:27,957
I don't know.
635
00:46:28,691 --> 00:46:33,629
A colored man's got to do
a whole lotta strange things nowadays...
636
00:46:34,264 --> 00:46:36,358
...to make a dollar.
637
00:46:36,641 --> 00:46:38,439
But let him go ahead!
638
00:46:38,935 --> 00:46:41,461
At least he's gonna make some money.
639
00:46:42,772 --> 00:46:46,606
I ain't heard tell o' too many
colored millionaires. Have you?
640
00:46:48,044 --> 00:46:50,206
Maybe one or two.
641
00:46:50,313 --> 00:46:53,374
Let him go ahead. More power to him!
642
00:46:54,125 --> 00:46:57,459
God knows white folks lied and stole...
643
00:46:57,554 --> 00:46:59,613
...long enough to get on top.
644
00:47:01,057 --> 00:47:02,889
But somehow...
645
00:47:03,226 --> 00:47:05,524
...I wish we didn't have to do it.
646
00:47:06,271 --> 00:47:09,366
We oughta have more sense,
in the first place.
647
00:47:09,933 --> 00:47:11,628
At least more goodness.
648
00:47:12,485 --> 00:47:15,887
But let 'em go ahead. Don't mean nothin'!
649
00:47:16,072 --> 00:47:17,471
Not a thing.
650
00:47:18,608 --> 00:47:19,803
Damn it!
651
00:47:19,943 --> 00:47:23,072
- Did you hurt yourself, honey?
- No, I didn't hurt myself!
652
00:47:23,154 --> 00:47:25,122
These damn rotten steps!
653
00:47:25,348 --> 00:47:28,978
These rotten steps,
this rotten house, this rotten block...
654
00:47:29,052 --> 00:47:30,747
...this rotten everything around here!
655
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,548
- You need some help?
- No, I don't need no help!
656
00:47:34,057 --> 00:47:35,650
Excuse me.
657
00:47:35,975 --> 00:47:37,409
Let her alone!
658
00:47:37,494 --> 00:47:40,520
We ain't got nothin' to do
with nothin' over there nohow!
659
00:47:40,597 --> 00:47:42,361
Do I need some help?
660
00:47:42,532 --> 00:47:45,433
What in the hell I need with help
with you people for?
661
00:47:45,568 --> 00:47:47,366
Who you gonna help?
662
00:47:47,912 --> 00:47:49,812
You need care packages!
663
00:47:49,948 --> 00:47:52,076
Watch your step, sister!
664
00:47:53,042 --> 00:47:56,603
Livin' here in this scum and filth!
665
00:47:57,981 --> 00:47:59,608
Have you seen my house?
666
00:47:59,749 --> 00:48:02,980
I mean my real house. It's so fine.
667
00:48:04,220 --> 00:48:07,713
And you know something?
I got people like you who wait on me.
668
00:48:07,940 --> 00:48:09,271
- No!
- Yes.
669
00:48:09,392 --> 00:48:12,418
They say, "Miss Creola, what you want?
670
00:48:12,695 --> 00:48:15,164
"Miss Creola, what you need?
671
00:48:15,315 --> 00:48:18,376
"Your hair's so pretty, Miss Creola.
672
00:48:18,576 --> 00:48:21,671
"Your skin's so creamy, don't you know?"
673
00:48:21,838 --> 00:48:24,535
Gimme a couple o' more clothespins,
Forthwith.
674
00:48:24,774 --> 00:48:27,266
Clothespins? What are they for?
675
00:48:31,965 --> 00:48:34,400
To hang up the clothes!
676
00:48:36,519 --> 00:48:38,487
Why don't you have a dryer?
677
00:48:39,022 --> 00:48:41,457
- I have a dryer.
- That did it!
678
00:48:41,816 --> 00:48:43,716
Dad-blame it, that did it!
679
00:48:44,093 --> 00:48:47,654
You don't say nothin'
about my clothes, you hear?
680
00:48:47,914 --> 00:48:50,042
You don't know nothin' about me!
681
00:48:50,166 --> 00:48:53,261
Don't you know
I'll write you a new name in a minute!
682
00:48:53,369 --> 00:48:57,829
You don't talk about my washin',
my dryin', all right? Nothin'!
683
00:48:57,941 --> 00:49:02,401
You don't talk about it this mornin',
nor neither tomorrow morning!
684
00:49:02,787 --> 00:49:06,052
You tell her, Grace! Thinks she's so smart!
685
00:49:06,299 --> 00:49:08,631
My clothes is beautiful!
686
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,125
I don't need no dryer!
687
00:49:12,355 --> 00:49:15,655
All I need is to take my fist
and knock half o' your brains out!
688
00:49:15,725 --> 00:49:18,057
Don't you dare put your hands on me!
689
00:49:18,244 --> 00:49:19,803
What ol' hands?
690
00:49:20,096 --> 00:49:21,860
I'm gonna use my feet!
691
00:49:22,699 --> 00:49:25,066
Baby, I'm gonna stomp you!
692
00:49:25,293 --> 00:49:26,283
Grace.
693
00:49:26,819 --> 00:49:28,753
That's right, tell her, sister!
694
00:49:28,855 --> 00:49:31,847
- Don't you come over here!
- I'm comin' over there.
695
00:49:31,975 --> 00:49:33,443
Quit now, Grace!
696
00:49:33,676 --> 00:49:36,839
Listen! You talk about my clothes...
697
00:49:37,347 --> 00:49:40,112
...and my sweet man, Henry Grimes.
698
00:49:40,625 --> 00:49:45,153
And he was crazy about my washin',
especially his shirts!
699
00:49:45,238 --> 00:49:46,433
- Get that hussy!
- Right on!
700
00:49:46,589 --> 00:49:48,318
- Stay over there, you old--
- No!
701
00:49:48,524 --> 00:49:52,392
My husband died in this "scum and filth..."
702
00:49:52,462 --> 00:49:54,954
...and I'm coming over there.
703
00:49:56,766 --> 00:49:58,256
You better get outta here!
704
00:49:58,426 --> 00:50:02,294
I ain't goin' nowhere until I stomp you!
705
00:50:02,605 --> 00:50:07,133
And then I'm gonna stomp
that lyin' husband o' yours!
706
00:50:07,327 --> 00:50:08,692
Get her, Grace! Go on.
707
00:50:09,070 --> 00:50:10,697
Come back here, Grace.
708
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:15,181
And then I'll tell the whole world,
and Baltimore, too...
709
00:50:15,385 --> 00:50:19,253
...just what a no-good nothin'...
710
00:50:19,756 --> 00:50:21,451
...you got for a husband!
711
00:50:21,758 --> 00:50:23,852
You mess with my husband...
712
00:50:24,093 --> 00:50:26,391
...I'll mess with yours!
713
00:50:31,701 --> 00:50:32,964
Get outta here!
714
00:50:33,169 --> 00:50:35,399
Go 'head! Go 'head!
715
00:50:36,139 --> 00:50:38,574
Here's my head, hit it!
716
00:50:38,641 --> 00:50:40,131
You better get outta here!
717
00:50:40,243 --> 00:50:41,768
Listen, y'all cut this out.
718
00:50:41,928 --> 00:50:43,259
Why don't you stop it?
719
00:50:43,346 --> 00:50:45,781
I'm not gettin' between
two ol' evil colored women!
720
00:50:45,973 --> 00:50:49,034
- I might be old, but I ain't no fool!
- I'm gonna call the police!
721
00:50:49,185 --> 00:50:52,621
- You best call a doctor!
- No, I'm gonna call the police.
722
00:50:52,705 --> 00:50:56,232
Go ahead! Call the police!
723
00:50:56,392 --> 00:50:59,726
I'm gonna tell 'em everything
I know about that Welton J. Waters.
724
00:50:59,862 --> 00:51:02,388
And Grace knows plenty, baby!
725
00:51:02,465 --> 00:51:04,763
- Tell the truth, Grace!
- I'm tellin' the truth.
726
00:51:05,076 --> 00:51:07,067
You know what I had done to this house?
727
00:51:07,495 --> 00:51:09,054
Do you know?
728
00:51:09,472 --> 00:51:11,406
- What was it?
- Tapped.
729
00:51:11,899 --> 00:51:13,594
I had it tapped!
730
00:51:16,070 --> 00:51:17,560
That's what I had done to it.
731
00:51:17,647 --> 00:51:22,175
And your ol' man
is just runnin' in this race...
732
00:51:22,385 --> 00:51:25,047
...to help that no-good Mayor!
733
00:51:25,129 --> 00:51:27,621
And all that Mayor is runnin' for
is the money!
734
00:51:28,383 --> 00:51:29,646
And he's gonna get it!
735
00:51:29,726 --> 00:51:32,821
Just as sure as he can
fool them poor colored people...
736
00:51:33,296 --> 00:51:35,094
...out o' their votes.
737
00:51:35,231 --> 00:51:40,101
And you know what that means, Clo...
Peol, whatever your fool name is?
738
00:51:40,503 --> 00:51:43,700
That means that your man...
739
00:51:44,273 --> 00:51:46,503
...is foolin' the colored people.
740
00:51:46,634 --> 00:51:51,435
And the only reason the good Lord
don't strike him down...
741
00:51:51,581 --> 00:51:54,278
...is because
I'm gonna strike him down first!
742
00:51:54,951 --> 00:51:57,511
Come on, Forthwith.
743
00:52:07,363 --> 00:52:08,888
Welton!
744
00:52:09,090 --> 00:52:10,854
Welton J. Waters for Mayor!
745
00:52:11,442 --> 00:52:13,501
Vote for Welton J. Waters.
746
00:52:13,569 --> 00:52:16,300
Waters is runnin', baby.
He's runnin' for you...
747
00:52:16,539 --> 00:52:19,338
...runnin' hard and fast
and can't finish last!
748
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,194
Welton's gonna win when you put him in.
749
00:53:12,662 --> 00:53:15,461
- Can I help you?
- I want to see Welton J. Waters.
750
00:53:15,798 --> 00:53:20,793
Gentlemen, the only reason that I've
brought Mr. Waters here this afternoon...
751
00:53:21,237 --> 00:53:25,731
...is to confirm our pledge
that he will indeed be rewarded...
752
00:53:25,808 --> 00:53:28,607
...for his efforts on our behalf.
753
00:53:29,445 --> 00:53:34,440
Moreover, he's supremely qualified
to head our urban renewal program.
754
00:53:34,750 --> 00:53:37,515
Welton, you have what, two law degrees?
755
00:53:37,753 --> 00:53:41,246
Yes, two. I have a Master's in Labor Law.
756
00:53:41,624 --> 00:53:43,615
Wonderful. Wonderful.
757
00:53:43,826 --> 00:53:47,490
So, you see, gentlemen,
as I've told you many times before...
758
00:53:47,722 --> 00:53:48,985
...were not dealing with...
759
00:53:49,056 --> 00:53:51,252
I want to get in there!
Don't you know who I am?
760
00:53:51,334 --> 00:53:54,929
We're not dealing here
with a mediocre politician...
761
00:53:55,304 --> 00:53:59,366
...but rather with a man
who has decided to play ball.
762
00:54:00,359 --> 00:54:04,694
A decision that, I might add,
is rather critical to the Mayor's re-election.
763
00:54:04,847 --> 00:54:09,045
- But I said you cannot go in there.
- Don't you tell me where I can't go!
764
00:54:10,536 --> 00:54:13,528
Of course, we all realize
that Mr. Waters is black...
765
00:54:13,773 --> 00:54:16,868
...but I think we can ignore that. He has.
766
00:54:20,029 --> 00:54:22,521
He has risen in his profession.
767
00:54:23,299 --> 00:54:25,893
What's more, he's honest.
768
00:54:28,537 --> 00:54:32,337
He's reliable, he's responsible,
he's respectable.
769
00:54:32,975 --> 00:54:36,969
The three "R's," which I,
as a campaign manager, must always...
770
00:54:38,039 --> 00:54:39,234
Welton!
771
00:54:43,794 --> 00:54:45,193
Gentlemen, this is...
772
00:54:46,989 --> 00:54:48,354
Jesus Christ!
773
00:54:48,424 --> 00:54:51,359
You don't know what they're gonna do!
You don't know!
774
00:54:51,419 --> 00:54:54,650
- All right, come on!
- But you gotta listen to me!
775
00:54:55,197 --> 00:54:58,599
Tell him to listen to me.
He's gotta listen to me.
776
00:54:59,035 --> 00:55:00,764
Welton, you're gonna hurt me.
777
00:55:00,836 --> 00:55:04,932
- Why don't you come on, for Christ's sake?
- But you've gotta listen to me!
778
00:55:05,007 --> 00:55:08,409
You don't know what they're gonna do.
You gotta listen.
779
00:55:10,204 --> 00:55:13,299
He sure messed all over you, didn't he?
780
00:55:13,549 --> 00:55:14,880
Didn't he?
781
00:55:16,118 --> 00:55:19,213
And just think, that ol' snippety-butt...
782
00:55:20,623 --> 00:55:24,287
...Miss Nothin',
tried to make a fool outta me.
783
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,022
- She sure did.
- And they gonna pay.
784
00:55:29,231 --> 00:55:32,496
Baby, they gonna pay!
785
00:55:32,568 --> 00:55:35,970
'Cause Grace Teasdale Grimes
is done spoke!
786
00:55:37,807 --> 00:55:40,640
- Shut up! Just shut up!
- They found out about you.
787
00:55:40,709 --> 00:55:43,041
Those little old-timey niggers,
they found out!
788
00:55:43,179 --> 00:55:46,046
- I told you to shut up!
- No, damn it!
789
00:55:46,107 --> 00:55:49,805
I'm glad they found out!
Now you'll be a nothing!
790
00:55:50,086 --> 00:55:53,750
You won't be able to use me anymore!
791
00:55:53,823 --> 00:55:56,292
You shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you!
792
00:55:56,358 --> 00:55:59,055
- You won't be able to use me anymore!
- Shut...
793
00:56:01,730 --> 00:56:05,860
You know what I felt like, Grace?
I felt like a fool!
794
00:56:05,968 --> 00:56:07,231
I know you did.
795
00:56:07,303 --> 00:56:10,295
A natural fool,
standin' there in that church.
796
00:56:10,372 --> 00:56:14,104
Made me feel like a fool. A fool in church!
797
00:56:14,176 --> 00:56:18,238
After I said to him, "20, 30, 40,000."
798
00:56:18,314 --> 00:56:21,079
He say, "Yeah, plenty of people, brother."
799
00:56:21,350 --> 00:56:23,978
And had the nerve to call me brother!
800
00:56:24,487 --> 00:56:27,388
And you know what
you shoulda done right then?
801
00:56:27,590 --> 00:56:28,989
God forgive me...
802
00:56:29,325 --> 00:56:33,193
...but you shoulda went over there
and busted him right in the mouth!
803
00:56:33,604 --> 00:56:35,227
But it ain't too late.
804
00:56:35,262 --> 00:56:37,390
- An eye for an eye.
- Ain't that the truth?
805
00:56:37,666 --> 00:56:40,931
- And that goes for that yellow--
- Watch your mouth, Grace.
806
00:56:41,170 --> 00:56:43,434
Yeah, I declare,
it's enough to make you sin.
807
00:56:43,873 --> 00:56:47,104
Don't you dare
act like you're gonna hit me!
808
00:56:48,444 --> 00:56:51,846
You wanna swell up
my pretty little thin lips.
809
00:56:52,047 --> 00:56:53,913
That's what you like about me, isn't it?
810
00:56:54,417 --> 00:56:57,580
My thin lips, my narrow nose...
811
00:56:57,820 --> 00:57:00,255
...my light skin and my good hair!
812
00:57:00,556 --> 00:57:03,685
All I care about is going down the drain.
All I worked for!
813
00:57:03,943 --> 00:57:06,503
The white man won't let you do
what you want to do...
814
00:57:06,962 --> 00:57:08,987
...after all you did for him!
815
00:57:09,231 --> 00:57:12,394
After all those sit-ins
you never sat down in.
816
00:57:12,935 --> 00:57:15,666
After everything you've done
for the white man.
817
00:57:16,172 --> 00:57:19,164
He's not gonna let you do
what you want to do.
818
00:57:26,048 --> 00:57:27,277
Come on!
819
00:57:28,751 --> 00:57:31,345
Get out of there! Come on!
820
00:57:33,289 --> 00:57:34,890
Come here.
821
00:57:34,890 --> 00:57:35,186
Come here.
822
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,901
- Get in this house this minute.
- We have to go inside.
823
00:57:39,453 --> 00:57:42,445
I'm gonna "inside" you
if you don't get in this house!
824
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,393
Come on in here!
825
00:57:47,803 --> 00:57:51,330
- Perhaps we can chat for a moment.
- Yeah, we gonna chat.
826
00:57:57,580 --> 00:57:58,775
Listen.
827
00:58:02,418 --> 00:58:04,546
I got one thing to tell you.
828
00:58:05,087 --> 00:58:08,819
You gonna be the Mayor of Baltimore.
829
00:58:09,124 --> 00:58:13,527
- Thank you. It's constituents like yourself--
- Don't be callin' nobody no constituent!
830
00:58:13,596 --> 00:58:16,122
- Nobody knows what that means.
- Let's get out of here!
831
00:58:16,423 --> 00:58:19,688
If you go, I'm goin' with you,
I'll tell you that.
832
00:58:20,002 --> 00:58:23,666
- Haven't you done enough already?
- No, I ain't done enough.
833
00:58:23,873 --> 00:58:25,898
No, she ain't done enough.
834
00:58:25,975 --> 00:58:29,536
Like I said, you gonna be the Mayor.
835
00:58:29,612 --> 00:58:32,513
That's right. Wait a minute.
How's he gonna be the Mayor?
836
00:58:32,915 --> 00:58:34,815
Let's get outta here!
837
00:58:34,884 --> 00:58:38,479
You got one more time
to raise your voice in my house...
838
00:58:38,837 --> 00:58:39,861
...you hear?
839
00:58:41,690 --> 00:58:45,490
- Now, about bein' the Mayor.
- Now, wait a minute, Mrs...
840
00:58:46,462 --> 00:58:47,657
Grimes.
841
00:58:48,330 --> 00:58:51,265
Grace Teasdale Grimes, that's the name.
842
00:58:51,609 --> 00:58:55,477
Mrs. Grimes, being elected Mayor
is a highly complicated matter.
843
00:58:55,538 --> 00:58:59,372
I'm gonna "highly complicated" you
in the seat o' your britches...
844
00:58:59,441 --> 00:59:01,910
...if you don't listen to what I say!
845
00:59:02,211 --> 00:59:03,372
And sit down!
846
00:59:05,147 --> 00:59:07,206
All right. Thank you.
847
00:59:08,108 --> 00:59:09,633
Help your wife!
848
00:59:10,853 --> 00:59:13,220
- You shoulda let me--
- Shut up!
849
00:59:13,289 --> 00:59:15,690
I got plenty for you to do later!
850
00:59:17,117 --> 00:59:21,987
And getting back to you, Waters,
gonna tell you one thing.
851
00:59:22,932 --> 00:59:25,264
Grace Teasdale Grimes...
852
00:59:25,401 --> 00:59:29,804
...knows all that she wants to know
about you.
853
00:59:30,039 --> 00:59:35,034
And you gonna get that $10 million
when I cut some more teeth.
854
00:59:35,427 --> 00:59:40,024
And you know when that's gonna be.
All you gonna get is one more chance.
855
00:59:40,482 --> 00:59:42,041
So you know about that?
856
00:59:42,318 --> 00:59:43,945
She knows about it.
857
00:59:44,253 --> 00:59:45,743
Yeah, she knows about it.
858
00:59:45,854 --> 00:59:49,154
I knew about it
way before I come to show you this.
859
00:59:51,727 --> 00:59:53,593
- Sit down!
- I'm sorry.
860
00:59:54,688 --> 00:59:56,087
Now listen.
861
00:59:56,398 --> 00:59:59,459
It's not what I know,
it's what I wanna know.
862
01:00:00,119 --> 01:00:02,349
And what I wanna know...
863
01:00:02,638 --> 01:00:05,198
...is if you're man enough...
864
01:00:05,733 --> 01:00:07,633
...to be honest with the people.
865
01:00:07,943 --> 01:00:10,071
That's what I wanna know.
866
01:00:10,746 --> 01:00:14,580
So I should just come out
and tell the people everything.
867
01:00:15,284 --> 01:00:17,378
That's just what I mean.
868
01:00:17,519 --> 01:00:19,385
That's what she means.
869
01:00:21,590 --> 01:00:22,580
I think--
870
01:00:22,891 --> 01:00:24,916
I ain't asking you what you think!
871
01:00:26,729 --> 01:00:29,391
- Mrs. Grimes--
- You can do it, Welton.
872
01:00:30,132 --> 01:00:34,467
Just think what good it'll do to get
all the rot and poison out of both of us.
873
01:00:40,843 --> 01:00:43,073
You got to do it, sonny.
874
01:00:43,412 --> 01:00:46,245
People ain't no fools no more.
875
01:00:46,649 --> 01:00:50,552
The only type of fool that you can fool
is a fool.
876
01:00:50,786 --> 01:00:53,517
And people ain't gonna be fools no more.
877
01:00:55,390 --> 01:00:57,688
And neither am I, Mrs. Grimes.
878
01:00:58,293 --> 01:01:01,558
I don't know why you took
the time to bring me in here...
879
01:01:01,964 --> 01:01:04,023
...but I'm thankful that you did.
880
01:01:04,967 --> 01:01:06,264
I thank you.
881
01:01:06,735 --> 01:01:08,897
I don't want no thanks, son.
882
01:01:09,638 --> 01:01:14,599
I want one of them things that they
give you when you buy a new Fridgidaire.
883
01:01:14,676 --> 01:01:18,340
- What is that they give you, Forthwith?
- A guarantee.
884
01:01:18,814 --> 01:01:21,306
A guarantee. That's just what I want.
885
01:01:21,617 --> 01:01:23,745
Forthwith, hand me my Bible.
886
01:01:23,952 --> 01:01:25,920
I'm gonna show you how to get it.
887
01:01:30,058 --> 01:01:31,048
Get up.
888
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,494
Here, put your hand on this.
889
01:01:33,629 --> 01:01:37,293
- Really, a Bible, I...
- Put your hand on it like Grace says.
890
01:01:37,366 --> 01:01:41,325
Before I cut it off, leave your hand on here
and send you on home.
891
01:01:42,754 --> 01:01:45,246
Repeat after me. I hereby swear...
892
01:01:46,608 --> 01:01:47,973
"I hereby swear..."
893
01:01:48,168 --> 01:01:51,627
- To be the Mayor of Baltimore.
-"To be the Mayor of Baltimore."
894
01:01:51,705 --> 01:01:54,902
No ifs, ands, and maybes about it.
895
01:01:55,517 --> 01:01:57,815
"No ifs, ands and maybes about it."
896
01:01:57,936 --> 01:02:01,304
And do as Grace Teasdale Grimes
say for me to do.
897
01:02:01,415 --> 01:02:04,146
"And to do as Grace Teasdale Grimes
say for me to do."
898
01:02:04,326 --> 01:02:06,624
- If I don't...
-"If I don't..."
899
01:02:06,862 --> 01:02:09,661
No tellin' what she's liable to do to me.
900
01:02:10,833 --> 01:02:12,961
"No telling what she's liable to do to me."
901
01:02:13,026 --> 01:02:14,687
Amen.
902
01:02:14,770 --> 01:02:15,931
"Amen."
903
01:02:16,605 --> 01:02:20,439
Don't kiss me, honey, you might start
somethin' that you can't stop.
904
01:02:22,144 --> 01:02:25,603
And now,
here's your new campaign manager.
905
01:02:25,681 --> 01:02:27,171
- Who, him?
- Who, me?
906
01:02:27,282 --> 01:02:28,545
Yes, you.
907
01:02:29,084 --> 01:02:31,382
Yes, you're the new campaign manager.
908
01:02:31,453 --> 01:02:36,448
And I'm gonna start right now
making you the Mayor of Baltimore.
909
01:02:38,427 --> 01:02:41,419
I've got a telephone call to make first...
910
01:02:41,597 --> 01:02:43,656
...before I do anything else.
911
01:02:44,700 --> 01:02:46,099
I declare...
912
01:02:46,602 --> 01:02:48,934
...it seems like I get so tired...
913
01:02:50,205 --> 01:02:51,502
...so quick.
914
01:02:54,176 --> 01:02:55,701
If anybody thinks...
915
01:02:55,777 --> 01:03:00,772
...that I'm gonna let all this stuff
be going on while I'm alive...
916
01:03:01,316 --> 01:03:03,751
...they got another thought coming.
917
01:03:07,890 --> 01:03:09,051
Hello?
918
01:03:10,567 --> 01:03:14,026
I'm gonna get me a pair of pliers
and fix this woman's voice.
919
01:03:14,196 --> 01:03:16,927
Hello, Clarice? This is Grace.
920
01:03:17,032 --> 01:03:18,056
Grace who?
921
01:03:18,308 --> 01:03:20,640
Grace Teasdale Grimes!
922
01:03:20,902 --> 01:03:23,428
What kinda Grace did you think it was?
923
01:03:23,505 --> 01:03:27,738
I didn't know. It could have been the kind
of Grace one says when one eats.
924
01:03:27,976 --> 01:03:31,469
Is that the kind of Grace
that would call you on the telephone?
925
01:03:32,514 --> 01:03:34,812
You called me, so I suppose--
926
01:03:34,983 --> 01:03:38,920
I'm gonna "suppose" you if you don't
shut up and listen to what I got to say.
927
01:03:39,121 --> 01:03:40,748
I'm terribly sorry.
928
01:03:40,822 --> 01:03:42,688
Now, listen to me good.
929
01:03:42,824 --> 01:03:44,485
I wanna know...
930
01:03:45,060 --> 01:03:48,462
...who do day-work for the Mayor.
931
01:03:48,889 --> 01:03:51,415
A mare? A mare is a horse, a lady horse.
932
01:03:51,500 --> 01:03:53,992
No one would do
day-work for a lady horse.
933
01:03:54,670 --> 01:03:57,833
I knew I shouldn't have called this woman.
934
01:03:58,732 --> 01:04:01,326
Listen, Clarice...
935
01:04:01,677 --> 01:04:05,204
...I'm talkin' about the Mayor of Baltimore.
936
01:04:05,380 --> 01:04:08,441
Well, you shouldn't talk about
the Mayor of Baltimore.
937
01:04:08,517 --> 01:04:12,351
He's a very important man
with a lot of responsibility.
938
01:04:13,322 --> 01:04:18,317
Clarice, I'm gonna try it one more time.
939
01:04:19,553 --> 01:04:22,648
Who do day-work...
940
01:04:24,099 --> 01:04:25,464
...for the Mayor?
941
01:04:26,018 --> 01:04:29,044
Why didn't you say that?
Who "does" day-work for the Mayor?
942
01:04:29,104 --> 01:04:30,230
Why, don't you know?
943
01:04:30,539 --> 01:04:32,337
No. Who?
944
01:04:32,474 --> 01:04:35,535
It's Nadine.
Nadine does day-work for the Mayor.
945
01:04:35,911 --> 01:04:37,208
Nadine?
946
01:04:38,046 --> 01:04:41,141
Is that the same one
that sings the high part...
947
01:04:41,249 --> 01:04:42,512
...in Just a Closer Walk?
948
01:04:43,151 --> 01:04:44,243
No!
949
01:04:44,886 --> 01:04:49,790
This is the Nadine that sings the alto
in Come, Ye Disconsolate.
950
01:04:50,158 --> 01:04:55,028
But she used to sing second solo
in Yield Not to Distemper...
951
01:04:55,689 --> 01:04:58,181
...and before that, she sang the lead on...
952
01:04:58,533 --> 01:05:02,197
...Abide With Me.
953
01:05:02,838 --> 01:05:06,297
And before that,
she sang the high part in...
954
01:05:07,609 --> 01:05:11,477
...Just a Closer Walk with Thee.
955
01:05:12,448 --> 01:05:17,045
The high part in Just a Closer Walk,
that's what I asked you...
956
01:05:17,186 --> 01:05:21,453
...if that was the same Nadine
that sings that song.
957
01:05:21,890 --> 01:05:25,121
Yes, that's Nadine
that works for the Mayor.
958
01:05:26,929 --> 01:05:29,921
All right, don't say nothin' else.
Just listen.
959
01:05:34,048 --> 01:05:36,473
Tell Nadine to get sick on Tuesday...
960
01:05:36,505 --> 01:05:38,599
...and send me in her place.
961
01:05:39,174 --> 01:05:41,438
- Send you?
- Yeah.
962
01:05:41,510 --> 01:05:43,945
That's all. Don't ask no questions.
963
01:05:44,479 --> 01:05:47,107
I don't meddle in your business,
don't meddle in mine.
964
01:05:47,316 --> 01:05:48,545
Bye!
965
01:05:50,619 --> 01:05:53,054
That woman would make coffee nervous.
966
01:05:53,121 --> 01:05:56,352
I ain't never seen the like.
She run you crazy.
967
01:05:57,092 --> 01:05:58,924
What y'all standin' here for?
968
01:05:59,194 --> 01:06:01,162
Let's start the campaigning.
969
01:06:01,697 --> 01:06:03,756
I'm the campaign manager,
like Grace says...
970
01:06:03,832 --> 01:06:06,130
...so let's go to your house and strategize.
971
01:06:06,201 --> 01:06:09,637
I put a lot of years in show business,
and I did a lot of managing.
972
01:06:09,972 --> 01:06:14,432
I was gonna manage Snake Hips Tucker,
boy from right here in Baltimore.
973
01:06:14,501 --> 01:06:17,960
Then I was gonna manage Bullfrog Shorty,
the little short comedian.
974
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,742
And that great contortionist,
Jigsaw Jackson.
975
01:06:20,816 --> 01:06:23,114
- Don't talk about no managin'!
- Wait a minute.
976
01:06:23,377 --> 01:06:26,278
If I'm going to run for Mayor,
and do it seriously.
977
01:06:26,355 --> 01:06:29,985
I'm going to run.
And I'm going to run this campaign right!
978
01:06:30,125 --> 01:06:33,220
If I've been wrong, I've been wrong.
But that's the past.
979
01:06:33,295 --> 01:06:37,095
This lady has shown me something
I should've seen a long time ago.
980
01:06:37,983 --> 01:06:40,714
And now that I've seen it, I'm taking over.
981
01:06:42,270 --> 01:06:44,932
I'm going to run for Mayor,
and that's all there is to it.
982
01:06:45,015 --> 01:06:46,881
And my past is my past...
983
01:06:47,042 --> 01:06:50,876
...and I don't care if I passed
for a left-footed bulldog.
984
01:06:51,413 --> 01:06:52,847
Neither do I, baby.
985
01:06:54,016 --> 01:06:56,883
I'm going to tell these people right here
one thing.
986
01:06:57,219 --> 01:07:00,245
We're going to run a campaign
like nobody ever heard of...
987
01:07:00,422 --> 01:07:03,084
...and we're going to win.
And when we do...
988
01:07:03,525 --> 01:07:07,587
...I may be the first politician in history
to keep his word...
989
01:07:08,130 --> 01:07:09,757
...and my word is "honesty."
990
01:07:10,332 --> 01:07:11,595
Do you hear me, Miss Grace?
991
01:07:12,017 --> 01:07:14,281
I hear you, son.
992
01:07:14,770 --> 01:07:18,331
But I think I'd better help you a little bit.
993
01:07:21,676 --> 01:07:24,008
"Precious Lord
994
01:07:27,816 --> 01:07:29,978
"Take my hand."
995
01:07:30,919 --> 01:07:34,116
Somebody tell that new cleaning girl
to knock off that singing!
996
01:07:34,181 --> 01:07:36,912
You can't get a damn thing
done around here!
997
01:07:36,992 --> 01:07:40,656
Where's that thing from those fairies
in the Human Relations Committee?
998
01:07:40,729 --> 01:07:43,323
And tell that McCloskey
he can't have that building...
999
01:07:43,398 --> 01:07:45,867
...unless he forks over like everybody else.
1000
01:07:46,668 --> 01:07:47,726
So what?
1001
01:07:48,070 --> 01:07:51,040
He got a $100,000 for that last deal!
What did I get?
1002
01:07:51,106 --> 01:07:52,232
Nothing!
1003
01:07:52,641 --> 01:07:54,473
The hell with him, and you, too!
1004
01:07:57,846 --> 01:07:59,177
Excuse me!
1005
01:07:59,481 --> 01:08:01,575
- Yeah.
- Excuse me, Mr. Mayor.
1006
01:08:02,284 --> 01:08:03,274
What?
1007
01:08:03,785 --> 01:08:06,379
Tell 'em anything! What do I care?
1008
01:08:07,456 --> 01:08:08,946
Let me tell you one thing.
1009
01:08:09,024 --> 01:08:11,356
You know why I'm pushing
that poverty program?
1010
01:08:11,426 --> 01:08:14,157
Because my boys rake off
60 percent of that good green...
1011
01:08:14,229 --> 01:08:16,425
...Washington money, that's why.
1012
01:08:17,833 --> 01:08:19,358
I'll tell you something else.
1013
01:08:19,434 --> 01:08:22,131
Redevelopment-wise,
once the Negroes are out, they're out!
1014
01:08:22,437 --> 01:08:25,270
Who ever heard of finding
a place to put them back into?
1015
01:08:25,340 --> 01:08:27,832
You know what that costs, George?
Money, money!
1016
01:08:28,543 --> 01:08:30,204
-"Let me stand "
- Leave him in...
1017
01:08:30,278 --> 01:08:33,873
- Girlie, will you knock off that singin'?
- Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor!
1018
01:08:33,949 --> 01:08:35,940
Yes, sir! 'Scuse me!
1019
01:08:36,017 --> 01:08:39,453
All you gotta do is to
tell 'em you're building houses for 'em.
1020
01:08:39,554 --> 01:08:43,616
Break the ground, have a ceremony,
call the union, have a strike!
1021
01:08:43,992 --> 01:08:48,691
So what if Collins finds out? He's nothin'
but a liberal fairy, liberal, that's what.
1022
01:08:49,264 --> 01:08:53,394
Anyway, we got this Waters guy to take
the colored vote away from him.
1023
01:08:53,602 --> 01:08:56,299
Liberal fairy liberals need
the colored vote to win!
1024
01:08:56,371 --> 01:08:59,136
No colored vote, no win!
Now, listen, George...
1025
01:08:59,307 --> 01:09:01,935
...you know those buildings
over on East Druid Hill?
1026
01:09:02,010 --> 01:09:04,638
There's gonna be a strike in 10 days!
1027
01:09:05,480 --> 01:09:08,279
Off of Pennsylvania Avenue, five days.
1028
01:09:09,284 --> 01:09:12,914
I know the election is in three weeks,
but we started the work.
1029
01:09:12,988 --> 01:09:14,353
That's the--
1030
01:09:14,873 --> 01:09:17,205
What? 'Course there's nobody here.
1031
01:09:17,292 --> 01:09:21,422
Would I be talking to you like this if there
was anybody here? Don't be a fool!
1032
01:09:24,299 --> 01:09:26,233
All right, get crackin', George.
1033
01:09:30,338 --> 01:09:33,603
- Yeah?
- Sir, your wife is on your private phone.
1034
01:09:34,409 --> 01:09:35,808
Hello, honey.
1035
01:09:36,111 --> 01:09:37,636
Look, honey--
1036
01:09:39,648 --> 01:09:41,446
All right, sweetness.
1037
01:09:42,050 --> 01:09:44,678
Yes, candy...honey.
1038
01:09:45,587 --> 01:09:48,079
Yes, sweetheart. I'll be right there.
1039
01:09:48,156 --> 01:09:50,318
Yeah, "kissy-kissy" to you, too.
1040
01:09:52,727 --> 01:09:55,355
Somebody get rid of that private phone.
1041
01:10:02,237 --> 01:10:06,572
That's all I wanna know, brother.
I'm gonna fix your buns.
1042
01:10:07,509 --> 01:10:08,943
Bet that!
1043
01:10:25,460 --> 01:10:29,954
I know he didn't mean this...
1044
01:10:30,332 --> 01:10:32,027
...to leave this open!
1045
01:10:41,568 --> 01:10:43,058
Precious Lord!
1046
01:10:47,716 --> 01:10:52,916
Wait until he come talkin' 'bout
"ain't nobody here."
1047
01:10:53,121 --> 01:10:55,852
He didn't think I was nothin' but some ol'...
1048
01:10:56,191 --> 01:10:59,559
...colored woman with a head like a goat.
1049
01:11:00,195 --> 01:11:03,028
Didn't have no sense at all,
but I'm gonna fix him!
1050
01:11:03,231 --> 01:11:05,825
I'm gonna fool him.
1051
01:11:06,668 --> 01:11:08,158
I'm gonna hang him if I can.
1052
01:11:09,137 --> 01:11:12,163
Wait till he finds that out!
1053
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,572
Lemme wipe the fingerprints off.
1054
01:11:16,644 --> 01:11:18,043
That's good.
1055
01:11:27,489 --> 01:11:30,823
I just don't know.
He's got a raving drunk for a wife.
1056
01:11:31,351 --> 01:11:34,150
So what?
You think my old lady's a teetotaler?
1057
01:11:34,229 --> 01:11:35,390
Come on, now.
1058
01:11:35,463 --> 01:11:38,194
"Come on" nothing. This guy's
gotta pull the colored vote.
1059
01:11:38,266 --> 01:11:40,667
And it's your job to see that he--
1060
01:11:42,203 --> 01:11:44,695
- Yeah?
- There's a man to move a filing cabinet.
1061
01:11:44,773 --> 01:11:46,172
What filing...
1062
01:11:46,641 --> 01:11:49,201
Yeah, the cleaning
girl said something about it.
1063
01:11:49,411 --> 01:11:52,312
Send him in, but tell him to be quick.
1064
01:11:52,714 --> 01:11:55,945
I'm tellin' you,
we've got a problem on our hands.
1065
01:11:56,518 --> 01:12:00,352
He's okay, but I'm worried about his wife.
1066
01:12:00,655 --> 01:12:03,215
- Pardon me, gentlemen.
- Yeah, hurry it up!
1067
01:12:03,925 --> 01:12:08,726
You know as well as I do that if we lose
the colored vote to Collins, we might--
1068
01:12:19,107 --> 01:12:21,542
The only thing I care about is
that Welton J. Waters...
1069
01:12:21,609 --> 01:12:24,374
...does what he's paid to do
and nobody finds out.
1070
01:12:25,213 --> 01:12:27,682
Besides that, Jim,
I've got another job for you.
1071
01:12:27,749 --> 01:12:29,080
What's that?
1072
01:12:29,217 --> 01:12:30,810
Pardon me, gentlemen.
1073
01:12:31,286 --> 01:12:32,879
Keep my record clean.
1074
01:12:34,923 --> 01:12:36,914
Your record's clean, Frank.
1075
01:12:37,826 --> 01:12:39,794
Good evening, gentlemen.
1076
01:12:41,229 --> 01:12:42,697
It better be.
1077
01:12:43,031 --> 01:12:45,193
That's the least of your problems.
1078
01:12:59,514 --> 01:13:02,609
- There's enough in here to hang him.
- Two or three times.
1079
01:13:02,851 --> 01:13:04,785
I don't know much about this.
1080
01:13:06,321 --> 01:13:10,554
But I know if the Mayor has big interests
in the newspapers and everything...
1081
01:13:11,860 --> 01:13:14,830
...no one is ever going to know about this.
1082
01:13:15,964 --> 01:13:19,457
You know one thing, honey?
You ain't dumb...
1083
01:13:20,068 --> 01:13:22,298
...you just ain't as smart as me...
1084
01:13:23,730 --> 01:13:25,664
...'cause I got the answer.
1085
01:13:25,790 --> 01:13:27,121
Blaney Stokes.
1086
01:13:27,792 --> 01:13:29,191
Blaney Stokes?
1087
01:13:29,310 --> 01:13:31,684
Don't you remember that boy on the train
that didn't want no chicken?
1088
01:13:31,690 --> 01:13:32,748
Oh, yeah!
1089
01:13:35,517 --> 01:13:39,715
That's the boy.
He's at Morgan State College!
1090
01:13:40,096 --> 01:13:42,224
Now, I want y'all to listen.
1091
01:13:44,058 --> 01:13:46,493
I want you to listen to Grace good...
1092
01:13:47,562 --> 01:13:50,293
...'cause I mean every word I say.
1093
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,335
Miss Grace,
I've got a revolution to deal with.
1094
01:14:28,403 --> 01:14:32,101
I'm gonna "revolution" you,
if you don't do as I tell you to do.
1095
01:14:32,507 --> 01:14:37,138
Now, I want everybody that you can find...
1096
01:14:37,545 --> 01:14:40,845
...and have 'em in this building tomorrow!
1097
01:14:41,182 --> 01:14:43,310
I don't know how you gonna get 'em here...
1098
01:14:43,718 --> 01:14:47,177
...but all I want you to know,
I want 'em here!
1099
01:14:47,856 --> 01:14:51,224
- I don't know.
- I know, 'cause I'm the campaign manager.
1100
01:14:51,392 --> 01:14:56,262
I know what you got to do if you're gonna
call yourself Colored, Black, Negro or Us.
1101
01:14:56,331 --> 01:14:58,459
Now, young man, what you gonna do?
1102
01:14:58,533 --> 01:15:01,594
Yeah, what you got on your mind, son?
1103
01:15:07,675 --> 01:15:10,007
- Gonna do it.
- Yeah, we gonna do it.
1104
01:15:10,086 --> 01:15:11,952
- All right, we gonna do it!
- My man.
1105
01:15:12,013 --> 01:15:15,472
You know we gonna do it.
You tellin' me we gonna do it.
1106
01:15:15,550 --> 01:15:16,881
I know we gonna do it.
1107
01:15:17,418 --> 01:15:18,168
Listen, you young people.
1108
01:15:18,169 --> 01:15:19,398
Listen, you young people.
1109
01:15:20,021 --> 01:15:22,115
When! was in school...
1110
01:15:22,290 --> 01:15:25,851
...! skied on white mountain slopes...
1111
01:15:26,494 --> 01:15:30,294
...and! drank green beer
on St. Patrick's Day.
1112
01:15:31,533 --> 01:15:33,831
! was in another world and time.
1113
01:15:35,403 --> 01:15:38,668
But what! did not do then,! will do now.
1114
01:15:40,558 --> 01:15:43,892
! will stop them
from tearing down our homes...
1115
01:15:44,012 --> 01:15:46,174
...and leaving our families stranded!
1116
01:15:46,314 --> 01:15:48,009
- Right on.
- Yeah.
1117
01:15:48,316 --> 01:15:53,015
! will stop them from arresting us,
and letting their own go free.
1118
01:15:54,639 --> 01:15:58,075
! will stop them from
lying about us in the news.
1119
01:15:58,193 --> 01:15:59,592
Right on.
1120
01:15:59,661 --> 01:16:03,120
And! shall find ways to bring us work.
1121
01:16:03,206 --> 01:16:04,765
! will build schools...
1122
01:16:05,133 --> 01:16:08,535
...so that we can be educated
as we should be educated.
1123
01:16:09,170 --> 01:16:11,764
And! will, with your help and God's help...
1124
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,441
...and the help of our humanistic nature...
1125
01:16:14,509 --> 01:16:16,876
...be the Mayor
of all the people of this city!
1126
01:16:35,763 --> 01:16:37,288
This is my wife.
1127
01:16:38,608 --> 01:16:39,803
My wife.
1128
01:16:40,869 --> 01:16:43,065
They tried to use my wife...
1129
01:16:44,138 --> 01:16:45,663
...against me.
1130
01:16:47,508 --> 01:16:49,374
She denied her blackness once...
1131
01:16:50,478 --> 01:16:53,709
...and so did!, more recently than she.
1132
01:16:55,149 --> 01:16:59,052
But she and!
have been cured of all of that.
1133
01:17:00,763 --> 01:17:02,857
Not by a radical movement...
1134
01:17:03,633 --> 01:17:05,499
...not by a history course...
1135
01:17:05,860 --> 01:17:07,294
...not by relevancy...
1136
01:17:08,196 --> 01:17:11,257
...and not by any established movement...
1137
01:17:11,532 --> 01:17:14,900
...but by a lady who lives next door to us.
1138
01:17:15,853 --> 01:17:18,754
That lady made me
do what! am doing now.
1139
01:17:19,741 --> 01:17:22,403
And! am blessed to know her.
1140
01:17:24,145 --> 01:17:26,011
What she made of me...
1141
01:17:26,347 --> 01:17:29,214
...she will make of all of us.
1142
01:17:30,026 --> 01:17:32,927
She is what we all must be...
1143
01:17:33,688 --> 01:17:36,123
...if we are to be anything!
1144
01:17:37,567 --> 01:17:38,796
She is...
1145
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,793
...Grace Teasdale Grimes!
1146
01:18:05,762 --> 01:18:07,560
Well, how y'all feel?
1147
01:18:07,688 --> 01:18:09,213
Fine.
1148
01:18:10,266 --> 01:18:12,064
You better feel good!
1149
01:18:13,428 --> 01:18:16,056
'Cause I'm tellin' you right now...
1150
01:18:17,098 --> 01:18:18,964
...Waters is gonna be the Mayor.
1151
01:18:21,677 --> 01:18:24,510
! don't know whether y'all hear me or not...
1152
01:18:24,889 --> 01:18:28,416
...but! say Waters is gonna be the Mayor.
1153
01:18:30,261 --> 01:18:33,925
And I'm so glad
that Waters is gonna be the Mayor!
1154
01:18:34,682 --> 01:18:39,643
He's gonna be the Mayor because
you are gonna make him the Mayor.
1155
01:18:41,689 --> 01:18:43,817
You know how you gonna do that?
1156
01:18:44,425 --> 01:18:47,224
You gonna take all that stuff...
1157
01:18:48,329 --> 01:18:50,821
...that! know on that...
1158
01:18:51,065 --> 01:18:53,557
...lyin' Mayor.
1159
01:18:53,935 --> 01:18:57,098
Yes, he's a liar and the truth ain't in him.
1160
01:19:02,610 --> 01:19:05,204
! want you to take all that stuff...
1161
01:19:05,813 --> 01:19:10,683
...and tell everybody from
here to kingdom come...
1162
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,414
...and five miles past that.
1163
01:19:18,993 --> 01:19:20,893
! wonder, do you understand me?
1164
01:19:21,095 --> 01:19:22,119
Yes!
1165
01:19:23,973 --> 01:19:25,441
Them folks got everything...
1166
01:19:25,733 --> 01:19:27,167
...radios...
1167
01:19:27,635 --> 01:19:29,501
...television, newspapers.
1168
01:19:30,938 --> 01:19:33,100
We ain't got much o' that to speak about.
1169
01:19:33,900 --> 01:19:35,698
But one thing...
1170
01:19:36,619 --> 01:19:38,849
...we got is a mouth.
1171
01:19:40,648 --> 01:19:43,049
Ain't nobody nowhere...
1172
01:19:43,317 --> 01:19:45,877
...got no more mouth than we got.
1173
01:19:47,655 --> 01:19:50,147
When we wanna talk about somebody...
1174
01:19:51,125 --> 01:19:53,321
...baby, we talk about somebody.
1175
01:19:54,295 --> 01:19:56,093
When we wanna whoop and holler...
1176
01:19:56,547 --> 01:19:59,278
...we whoop and holler
till the lights go out.
1177
01:20:01,002 --> 01:20:04,563
When we wanna sing, shout...
1178
01:20:05,006 --> 01:20:08,499
...signify or testify...
1179
01:20:08,843 --> 01:20:10,572
...we do that, too.
1180
01:20:11,612 --> 01:20:12,670
Why?
1181
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:14,548
Because we got a mouth.
1182
01:20:15,858 --> 01:20:18,759
! wonder do you children
know what I'm talking about?
1183
01:20:20,396 --> 01:20:22,831
Now, you take me.
1184
01:20:23,266 --> 01:20:26,861
! ain't nothin' but an old church sister...
1185
01:20:28,596 --> 01:20:30,223
...fry some chicken...
1186
01:20:31,832 --> 01:20:34,563
...cook a good pot of greens.
1187
01:20:35,469 --> 01:20:37,801
But you children are something else.
1188
01:20:38,706 --> 01:20:41,107
! ain't nothin' but the neck bone.
1189
01:20:42,243 --> 01:20:43,608
You children...
1190
01:20:44,245 --> 01:20:47,044
...you're the leg and the thigh...
1191
01:20:47,415 --> 01:20:50,976
...and the dark meat
of God's great chicken.
1192
01:20:52,453 --> 01:20:55,684
And! want you to listen to
Grace Teasdale Grimes.
1193
01:20:55,756 --> 01:20:57,155
You hear me?
1194
01:20:58,759 --> 01:21:02,627
You all don't know me,
but I'm your mother, honey.
1195
01:21:04,098 --> 01:21:08,433
! mean,! got a daughter in New York City.
1196
01:21:10,204 --> 01:21:12,298
! don't see her very much.
1197
01:21:15,743 --> 01:21:17,142
! had a son...
1198
01:21:18,045 --> 01:21:19,911
...but he was in the war...
1199
01:21:21,882 --> 01:21:24,749
...and one day...
1200
01:21:26,020 --> 01:21:27,886
...one August afternoon...
1201
01:21:29,023 --> 01:21:30,582
...! got a telegram.
1202
01:21:32,793 --> 01:21:36,093
First telegram! ever got.
1203
01:21:39,633 --> 01:21:41,863
And! made up my mind...
1204
01:21:42,737 --> 01:21:45,763
...that you were my children.
1205
01:21:46,507 --> 01:21:48,498
You all are my children...
1206
01:21:49,235 --> 01:21:51,670
...and my children do what! tell 'em to.
1207
01:21:53,981 --> 01:21:57,212
And I'm tellin' you to use those brains...
1208
01:21:57,285 --> 01:22:00,016
...that God put in your head...
1209
01:22:00,354 --> 01:22:02,015
...and go on out...
1210
01:22:02,323 --> 01:22:05,122
...and turn this town upside down.
1211
01:22:06,193 --> 01:22:10,755
Tell everybody that Waters
is gonna be the Mayor!
1212
01:22:11,482 --> 01:22:12,813
I'm glad!
1213
01:22:13,676 --> 01:22:18,273
I'm so glad that Waters
is gonna be the Mayor.
1214
01:22:18,906 --> 01:22:20,271

Tell everybody in Baltimore

that Waters gonna be the man,
gonna be the man!
1244
01:24:24,332 --> 01:24:27,165
Waters is the man with the plan!
1245
01:24:27,435 --> 01:24:28,903
We can do it!
1246
01:24:28,969 --> 01:24:31,529
- Don't tell me you can't do it.
- We can do it.
1247
01:24:33,641 --> 01:24:36,941
I got a bullet in my leg in 1943,
1248
01:24:37,011 --> 01:24:39,343
and I know what I got it for.
1249
01:24:39,413 --> 01:24:42,474
And my time has come
to get what I got it for.
1250
01:24:43,125 --> 01:24:46,925
And what I'm getting
is Welton J. Waters for Mayor.
1251
01:24:47,021 --> 01:24:49,649
In order to rid the city of corruption...
1252
01:24:49,999 --> 01:24:52,866
...we must have a viable police force.
1253
01:24:53,060 --> 01:24:57,224
By "a viable police force,"! mean we
must have people who are in office.
1254
01:24:58,599 --> 01:25:00,397
Grace knows you can do it.
1255
01:25:00,601 --> 01:25:02,535
Do it! Do it!
1256
01:25:02,770 --> 01:25:05,330
I can fry some chicken, baby.
1257
01:25:05,539 --> 01:25:07,871
Grace'll have you plenty o' chicken.
1258
01:25:08,008 --> 01:25:09,635
Go 'head and do it!
1259
01:25:09,852 --> 01:25:11,547
Do it! Do it!
1260
01:25:11,846 --> 01:25:14,645
Make him the Mayor.
We can do it, children!
1261
01:25:14,915 --> 01:25:17,316
You all can do it! Do it!
1262
01:25:36,287 --> 01:25:39,723
We want Welton J. Waters!
Put him in, folks!
1263
01:25:43,285 --> 01:25:45,276
! know you can do it.
1264
01:25:45,846 --> 01:25:50,249
We'll turn this city upside down!
1265
01:25:50,718 --> 01:25:51,947
Come on!
1266
01:25:52,253 --> 01:25:53,778
Come on around!
1267
01:25:56,365 --> 01:25:59,892
His name is Waters. Welton J. Waters!
1268
01:26:02,496 --> 01:26:04,191
The man with the plan.
1269
01:26:19,922 --> 01:26:20,996
"Precious Lord
1270
01:26:20,998 --> 01:26:22,864
"Precious Lord
1271
01:26:25,019 --> 01:26:27,351
"Take my hand
1272
01:26:30,024 --> 01:26:32,459
"Lead me on
1273
01:26:32,826 --> 01:26:34,760
"Lord, lend me strength."
1274
01:26:34,895 --> 01:26:37,421
I just about got enough here, I think.
1275
01:26:37,831 --> 01:26:40,300
"I am so weak
1276
01:26:41,710 --> 01:26:44,941
"I am worn
1277
01:26:46,473 --> 01:26:50,273
"I am standing."
1278
01:26:53,347 --> 01:26:54,837
Come in.
1279
01:26:55,149 --> 01:26:58,642
The door ain't locked,
ain't never been locked, ain't no lock on It.
1280
01:26:58,852 --> 01:27:01,651
Wipe your feet if it's rainin'.
1281
01:27:01,822 --> 01:27:05,816
If it ain't, you don't have to bother.
Just come on in.
1282
01:27:06,543 --> 01:27:09,444
- Miss Grace.
- It's my children from the school.
1283
01:27:09,797 --> 01:27:11,265
Looka there.
1284
01:27:11,423 --> 01:27:13,323
Well, I'll declare.
1285
01:27:13,567 --> 01:27:14,762
Miss Grace?
1286
01:27:14,902 --> 01:27:18,202
What's the matter,
y'all don't even say, "Good evenin"'?
1287
01:27:19,415 --> 01:27:21,042
- Good evenin'.
- Good evenin'.
1288
01:27:21,208 --> 01:27:23,734
That's better. Now what you want?
1289
01:27:23,811 --> 01:27:26,746
We came to take you and Mr. Forthwith
down to headquarters.
1290
01:27:26,830 --> 01:27:28,229
You the police?
1291
01:27:28,432 --> 01:27:29,456
What?
1292
01:27:29,583 --> 01:27:32,075
No. We mean the campaign headquarters.
1293
01:27:34,622 --> 01:27:36,181
Poor boy's been...
1294
01:27:37,958 --> 01:27:40,984
He been down there long ago,
three or four hours.
1295
01:27:42,830 --> 01:27:44,491
Yes, ma'am, but what about you?
1296
01:27:44,665 --> 01:27:47,726
I got to get these string beans
ready, sonny.
1297
01:27:48,410 --> 01:27:50,845
But the election's liable to go either way.
1298
01:27:50,938 --> 01:27:54,841
Well, either way it goes,
I got to get these string beans ready.
1299
01:27:54,975 --> 01:27:57,967
But if it wasn't for you,
nothin' would be happening.
1300
01:27:58,145 --> 01:28:01,775
And if it wasn't for me,
it wouldn't be no string beans.
1301
01:28:01,949 --> 01:28:04,111
But that man's liable to win this thing...
1302
01:28:04,184 --> 01:28:06,619
...and everybody's gonna wanna know
where you are.
1303
01:28:06,687 --> 01:28:09,679
For goodness' sake,
everybody know where I live.
1304
01:28:09,923 --> 01:28:12,119
Now, go on outta here and let me alone!
1305
01:28:12,226 --> 01:28:14,558
- Yes, ma'am, but--
- Don't "but" me, or I'll...
1306
01:28:14,628 --> 01:28:16,892
- Good evenin', Miss Grace.
- Good evenin'.
1307
01:28:17,781 --> 01:28:20,614
Wait a minute. Come back here.
1308
01:28:20,968 --> 01:28:23,630
I want you to come back
after everything's over...
1309
01:28:23,704 --> 01:28:25,468
...and get some of these string beans.
1310
01:28:26,056 --> 01:28:27,854
- All right. Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
1311
01:28:28,008 --> 01:28:31,034
And sweet potato pie's
gonna be ready, too.
1312
01:28:33,647 --> 01:28:34,842
- Okay!
- Yeah.
1313
01:28:35,149 --> 01:28:37,618
Ain't neither one of you
look like you eat right.
1314
01:28:37,851 --> 01:28:40,081
They must don't feed y'all
good up at that school.
1315
01:28:41,855 --> 01:28:45,257
You know, I want you
to come back here, now, win or lose...
1316
01:28:45,359 --> 01:28:49,387
...'cause the Lord don't stop the world
on no election night, you know.
1317
01:28:50,030 --> 01:28:51,862
- Yes, ma'am.
- All right.
1318
01:28:52,499 --> 01:28:55,491
- Now, good evening.
- Good night.
1319
01:28:57,471 --> 01:29:00,771
Nice boys, goin' to college and everything.
1320
01:29:03,811 --> 01:29:06,405
Don't take the door with you, please!
1321
01:29:07,514 --> 01:29:09,243
What's a matter with them boys?
1322
01:29:09,391 --> 01:29:12,088
If they think that I'm goin' down...
1323
01:29:12,186 --> 01:29:14,814
...to that place with them...
1324
01:29:14,888 --> 01:29:17,357
...they must be some kind of fools.
1325
01:29:17,508 --> 01:29:20,102
I'm tired. I done done enough.
1326
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:24,228
Let 'em take it as they can.
1327
01:29:24,998 --> 01:29:26,625
I ain't no Chippie.
1328
01:29:32,172 --> 01:29:33,799
Do you know one thing?
1329
01:29:33,874 --> 01:29:36,206
A few more days like today...
1330
01:29:36,510 --> 01:29:39,810
...and I ain't gonna have no days left at all.
1331
01:29:41,248 --> 01:29:43,979
I can't do no more, can I, Jesus?
1332
01:29:45,352 --> 01:29:47,878
They must think I'm 17.
1333
01:29:48,222 --> 01:29:50,427
I was once, but I ain't no more.
1334
01:29:53,794 --> 01:29:58,425
Maybe I'll turn the radio
on and listen to the news.
1335
01:29:59,333 --> 01:30:01,301
But you know what it is...
1336
01:30:01,769 --> 01:30:04,431
...and all it is, and all it's gonna be.
1337
01:30:06,607 --> 01:30:10,475
I think I'll just put my hand on the radio...
1338
01:30:10,744 --> 01:30:13,543
...and think to you for a little while.
1339
01:30:14,047 --> 01:30:16,175
Just a little while...
1340
01:30:16,617 --> 01:30:20,178
...before I find out
what Welton J. Waters is doin'.
1341
01:30:46,113 --> 01:30:48,946
! hope you can hear me!
1342
01:30:49,016 --> 01:30:51,576
I can hear you, man,
go ahead and say something!
1343
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:53,194
This place has gone mad!
1344
01:30:53,287 --> 01:30:56,313
Students, old people, mothers with babies
fathers in work clothes...
1345
01:30:56,390 --> 01:30:57,551
...high-school kids!
1346
01:30:57,624 --> 01:30:59,683
It's the political miracle of the century!
1347
01:30:59,827 --> 01:31:01,022
No one gave him a chance...
1348
01:31:01,094 --> 01:31:03,961
...but Welton J. Waters
is the Mayor of Baltimore!
1349
01:31:04,097 --> 01:31:06,930
Welton J. Waters
is the Mayor of Baltimore!
1350
01:31:07,009 --> 01:31:08,033
That's it!

01:31:15,776 --> 01:31:18,746
Got to fix them string beans now.
Thank you, Jesus.
1352
01:31:18,846 --> 01:31:21,338
Got to fix them string beans now!
1353
01:31:21,849 --> 01:31:26,082
Everybody gonna be hungry as wolves
when they get here.
1354
01:31:27,554 --> 01:31:29,386
I'm gonna be ready for 'em.
1355
01:31:29,756 --> 01:31:31,850
String beans, sweet potato pie.
1356
01:31:31,992 --> 01:31:33,619
And here he is...
1357
01:31:35,496 --> 01:31:40,093
Hope you can hear me. Welton J. Waters!
1358
01:31:49,476 --> 01:31:50,500
Thank you!
1359
01:31:52,262 --> 01:31:53,957
Thank you!
1360
01:31:54,748 --> 01:31:56,079
My wife, Creola.
1361
01:32:01,522 --> 01:32:05,425
- Have a little champagne, Mrs. Waters.
- No,! don't need that anymore.
1362
01:32:05,526 --> 01:32:07,255
Ain't that somethin'?
1363
01:32:07,327 --> 01:32:09,523
And here's my campaign manager...
1364
01:32:10,063 --> 01:32:11,588
...Forthwith Wilson!
1365
01:32:16,003 --> 01:32:19,200
! told you we could do it,
because! believed we could do it.
1366
01:32:20,440 --> 01:32:24,741
There is nothing nowhere, no time,
no place better than doin' it!
1367
01:32:24,912 --> 01:32:27,574
Forthwith Wilson, watch your mouth.
1368
01:32:28,290 --> 01:32:29,451
People,! want to--
1369
01:32:29,550 --> 01:32:32,019
No, that's all right Forthwith.
1370
01:32:32,853 --> 01:32:34,947
Okay, you the Mayor.
1371
01:32:35,355 --> 01:32:38,848
Yeah, go on, sit down, Forthwith,
before you mess up again.
1372
01:32:40,861 --> 01:32:42,625
Now, let me say this--
1373
01:32:44,139 --> 01:32:46,665
I'm gonna be your Mayor for a good while.
1374
01:32:50,137 --> 01:32:52,265
We're going to have honesty.
1375
01:32:53,173 --> 01:32:56,575
Grace Teasdale Grimes taught me that...
1376
01:32:59,213 --> 01:33:00,772
Where is Mrs. Grimes?
1377
01:33:00,964 --> 01:33:02,955
She's fixin' some string beans.
1378
01:33:06,170 --> 01:33:09,401
We want Grace! We want Grace!
1379
01:33:09,773 --> 01:33:13,209
We want Grace! We want Grace!
1380
01:33:15,012 --> 01:33:18,004
Grace ain't comin'. Grace ain't comin'.
1381
01:33:18,148 --> 01:33:19,912
Grace done got tired!
1382
01:33:21,193 --> 01:33:23,059
That's all it is to it!
1383
01:33:23,220 --> 01:33:26,383
My goodness a life!
What do they expect o' me?
1384
01:33:26,623 --> 01:33:30,355
Lemme go first
and turn that radio off in there.
1385
01:33:30,928 --> 01:33:34,728
My electric bill will be umpteen dollars.
1386
01:33:34,965 --> 01:33:35,955
There.
1387
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:38,331
Ain't goin'.
1388
01:33:39,303 --> 01:33:41,670
You know, I got to get these beans on...
1389
01:33:41,813 --> 01:33:44,248
...and get my chicken fried...
1390
01:33:44,775 --> 01:33:46,971
...and Tertia Mae...
1391
01:33:47,110 --> 01:33:48,771
...I'm gonna call her...
1392
01:33:48,946 --> 01:33:52,007
...and see if she can't
send me some potato salad.
1393
01:33:52,082 --> 01:33:53,914
It oughta get here...
1394
01:33:54,818 --> 01:33:56,877
...if she sends it air mail.
1395
01:33:59,448 --> 01:34:01,348
I'll be dad-blamed!
1396
01:34:01,625 --> 01:34:03,525
Ain't that somethin'?
1397
01:34:04,828 --> 01:34:07,889
I declare, I declare!
1398
01:34:11,835 --> 01:34:14,805
I'm tellin' you, sometime, I believe it.
1399
01:34:14,971 --> 01:34:16,461
We ain't good for nothin'...
1400
01:34:16,573 --> 01:34:20,305
...only scrubbin' floors,
and makin' up beds...
1401
01:34:20,544 --> 01:34:22,376
...and shining shoes...
1402
01:34:22,646 --> 01:34:24,512
...and pickin' beans...
1403
01:34:25,515 --> 01:34:29,281
...and takin' the money
and playin' bolito with it.
1404
01:34:29,853 --> 01:34:33,721
That's what we call it down home, bolito.
1405
01:34:34,257 --> 01:34:36,851
Up here y'all call it the numbers.
1406
01:34:37,027 --> 01:34:41,362
It's all the same thing, one'll break you
just as quick as the other one will.
1407
01:34:44,134 --> 01:34:46,000
Oh, my goodness.
1408
01:34:47,204 --> 01:34:48,797
I'm tellin' you.
1409
01:34:51,675 --> 01:34:54,201
I'm so tired, I don't know what to do.
1410
01:34:55,437 --> 01:34:56,996
I declare.
1411
01:34:57,180 --> 01:35:00,707
I believe the Lord must
o' made us on the eighth day.
1412
01:35:01,385 --> 01:35:02,614
I do.
1413
01:35:03,753 --> 01:35:06,745
I'm gonna set down and rest myself awhile.
1414
01:35:10,060 --> 01:35:12,154
Lemme see. Where was I at?
1415
01:35:12,496 --> 01:35:15,261
The last page of Deuteronomy.
1416
01:35:40,624 --> 01:35:42,353
Thank you, Jesus.
1417
01:35:47,631 --> 01:35:50,157
That's all it is, children.
1418
01:35:50,901 --> 01:35:54,428
Y'all can go home now. That's all.
1419
01:35:55,272 --> 01:35:56,762
But watch me.
1420
01:35:58,008 --> 01:36:01,239
Watch me. No tellin' where I'll be next.
1421
01:36:01,444 --> 01:36:03,640
Liable to be in the White House.
1422
01:36:04,915 --> 01:36:08,249
They need me there, believe me.
1423
01:36:08,351 --> 01:36:11,810
You better hurry up and believe me.
They need me.
