字幕 Mr. Ellis. Listen to me.
字幕 Larry will get used to it, all right?
字幕 You shoulda told me. No one told me that boy would be in this room.
字幕 It was... No one told me.
字幕 It was a last minute...
字幕 You shoulda told me.
字幕 You know, I'm tryin' to tell you now.
字幕 His roommate was wailin' and screamin' and...
字幕 But they wouldn't let me move him.
字幕 I wanna take him home.
字幕 He's better off with us.
字幕 He don't belong there.
字幕 He ain't like them others.
字幕 Yes, Claiborne, he is.
字幕 I'm seeing him tomorrow. I'm sure he's fine.
字幕 You okay?
字幕 Yeah, I'm just tired.
字幕 I'll see you at home. I love you.
字幕 muffled
字幕 Can I help you?
字幕 You can't, but Bernadette can.
字幕 One moment. Thank you.
字幕 Miss Atwater!
字幕 Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. How have you been?
字幕 Oh, baby, I've been good. How about yourself?
字幕 I'm fine. I'm just fine.
字幕 Well, what can I help you with?
字幕 Where's that Larry Ellis boy?
字幕 Bernadette.
字幕 Yes, Miss Atwater? I'm gonna need a favor.
字幕 But that's not fair. I know it's not fair, honey.
字幕 But I went back and looked. Not even half of them are done yet.
字幕 But she never does any of her charts.
字幕 She always expects us to do them for her.
字幕 You and I have to go over all her work, or it's gonna be on us.
字幕 Hello?
字幕 Where's Larry? Where's my son?
字幕 He's not in his room. What happened?
字幕 Nothing happened, Miss Ellis.
字幕 He was moved.
字幕 It's so nice.
字幕 Hey, baby.
字幕 It's your mama.
字幕 Hey, baby, it's your mama.
字幕 Hi. Hi.
字幕 Let's put on some music.
字幕 What?
字幕 No, no, it's good. It's...
字幕 It's just, uh...
字幕 All right, I'll see you at home.
字幕 I want to talk to you. Finally.
字幕 Look. What you, uh...
字幕 I didn't... I...
字幕 I didn't ask for your help.
字幕 I can take care of my own family, okay?
字幕 Okay. Okay.
字幕 Okay. It's just what I do, C.P.
字幕 Well, whatever is you do, don't do it for me.
字幕 I didn't do it for you.
字幕 Strike one! Yeah, Chester, bring the heat!
字幕 All right, shut your hole. That ain't helping.
字幕 Don't pay him no mind, boy. He ain't goin' nowhere with two outs.
字幕 They'll hold 'em. Be all right.
字幕 I'll be right back.
字幕 Your boy playing today? Oh.
字幕 Mr. Ellis.
字幕 Uh, no. My nephew.
字幕 You can call me C.P. You want a beer?
字幕 Oh. Thanks.
字幕 Strike!
字幕 So, how do you think it's going? The charrette.
字幕 Um...
字幕 It's interesting.
字幕 It's nice to hear both sides, you know.
字幕 Yeah. Yeah.
字幕 We got some decisions to make.
字幕 Strike three! You're out!
字幕 Say, that nigger fella? The one that comes, uh...
字幕 He runs your hardware store?
字幕 Yeah. 'Bout two years now.
字幕 His name's Emmett.
字幕 And you trust him to... to run things?
字幕 Sorry, I-I'm just curious.
字幕 I don't think I could trust one of them to run my filling station.
字幕 Other than my wife, he's the only person I trust.
字幕 How's that?
字幕 Well, he and I, we...
字幕 We were in Vietnam together.
字幕 Oh. You were in Vietnam? Yeah.
字幕 Two tours. Got out in '68.
字幕 You?
字幕 No. No, i...
字幕 No.
字幕 Yeah.
字幕 Well, look, Mr. Ellis, I know who you are.
字幕 And I know what you want from me.
字幕 But I just don't... No, no, Lee.
字幕 Any man who served bravely in this country's military
字幕 doesn't need to hear anything more from me.
字幕 You vote how you want to.
字幕 I'll respect it.
字幕 Mr. Ellis?
字幕 Emmett served this country, too.
字幕 And he was a lot braver than me.
字幕 All right, folks. For our last day,
字幕 I thought we'd go on a little field trip.
字幕 Where to? You gotta vote Monday night.
字幕 I think it's important we get a firsthand look
字幕 at what we've been talkin' about the past few weeks.
字幕 I know it's been a long day, but this is the last one.
字幕 Please be careful. Watch your step.
字幕 Ain't no better over here. It's a mess.
字幕 They gotta keep the doors open because of the smell.
字幕 I imagine so. It helps.
字幕 Lot of kids for summer school.
字幕 Uh... That ain't summer school, C.P.
字幕 They still tryin' to finish up from last year.
字幕 Yes, because of the split shifts after the fire,
字幕 the students were really only getting
字幕 about three hours of schooling per day.
字幕 So, they're still catching up.
字幕 Hey, how you doin'? Did you get them shoes I sent you?
字幕 Mama!
字幕 Hey. Oh, this your girl?
字幕 Hi.
字幕 Marilynn, this here is, uh, Mr. Ellis.
字幕 Oh.
字幕 Well, I better get to class.
字幕 Okay.
字幕 She looked at me like I was some kind of monster.
字幕 What'd you expect?
字幕 I don't know. I'm trying to do right by us.
字幕 Make it all better.
字幕 And how's this gonna make it all better?
字幕 Hell, I'm...
字幕 They wanted to integrate restaurants. So we did.
字幕 Then came buses and bathrooms and playgrounds.
字幕 Look, I'm over there right now
字幕 supporting more funding to make their schools better.
字幕 If they have nicer schools, they'll...
字幕 ...stop pushin' to integrate ours.
字幕 The one thing we have left.
字幕 Then maybe we'll all stop fighting.
字幕 Then what you gonna do?
字幕 What?
字幕 When everybody stops fighting, who you gonna fight?
字幕 Okay. Coming.
字幕 Can I help you?
字幕 Hi, Ann. Um...
字幕 I'm Mary Ellis. Claiborne's wife.
字幕 Oh.
字幕 I'm sorry for just dropping by. I, um...
字幕 I wanted to thank you for, um, what you did
字幕 for our family, for our son Larry.
字幕 Please, come in.
字幕 Thanks. Go on in.
字幕 Hope you like sweet tea. I do.
字幕 So Larry is doing better, huh?
字幕 He is.
字幕 You know, sometimes it's hard to...
字幕 keep him calm. Mm.
字幕 Well, has, uh... has Larry always been like that?
字幕 Yeah.
字幕 You know, when he was little, it just...
字幕 He started not to be able to do things.
字幕 Has C.P. always been like that?
字幕 Oh.
字幕 Yes.
字幕 More or less.
字幕 You know, he used to be a really good baseball player.
字幕 Really? Showed a lot of promise.
字幕 Colleges came and looked at him
字幕 right over here at Liberty Park.
字幕 Where we met, actually.
字幕 Came up to me, he's so nervous.
字幕 Couldn't even talk. So handsome.
字幕 Oh.
字幕 What?
字幕 C.P. handsome? Oh.
字幕 He was.
字幕 Okay.
字幕 - Mm-hmm. Oh.
字幕 Thank you again.
字幕 You're welcome.
字幕 Ann... Yes?
字幕 Claiborne is, uh...
字幕 He's doing the best he can.
字幕 Bye.
字幕 Good-bye, Miss Ellis.
字幕 Gimme a minute with C.P., would you?
字幕 Sure thing, Floyd.
字幕 Hey. What do you say, Floyd?
字幕 You got one of those?
字幕 See the paper?
字幕 Nothin' I could do about that. All part of this charrette business.
字幕 It don't look right.
字幕 It don't matter what it looks like, Floyd.
字幕 Matters what it is.
字幕 Oh, yeah.
