00:00:01The End
00:05:05Well, I'm not a member now, but they're holding an election this afternoon.
00:05:09Frankie thinks you'll be elected.
00:05:13Well, I don't care one way or the other.
00:05:23I'll see you Sunday.
00:05:29Drive carefully, son.
00:05:30Goodbye, Janice.
00:05:31Bye, thanks, Mr. Adams.
00:05:32Bye, Janice.
00:05:33Bye, Jarvis.
00:05:34Bye, thanks, Jarvis.
00:05:55I better go back to the store now and get my nose down to the grindstone.
00:05:58Bernice, you send John Henry home for supper at six.
00:06:01Don't wait for me.
00:06:02Yes, Mr. Adams.
00:06:04You hear that candy?
00:06:05Your mama wants you home some of the time.
00:06:08I hear.
00:06:17I just can't understand it, where it all just suddenly happened.
00:06:22Happened?
00:06:23Happened?
00:06:23I've never been so puzzled.
00:06:26Puzzled by what?
00:06:27The whole thing.
00:06:29They are so beautiful.
00:06:31I believe the sun's done fried your brains.
00:06:34Me too.
00:06:35Look here at me.
00:06:37You jealous?
00:06:38Jealous?
00:06:39Jealous because your brother's going to be married?
00:06:42No.
00:06:43I just never saw any two people like them.
00:06:46When they walked in the house today, it was so queer.
00:06:49You are jealous.
00:06:50Go behold yourself in the mirror.
00:06:52I can tell from the color of your eyes.
00:07:03They were the two prettiest people I ever saw.
00:07:06I just can't understand how it happened.
00:07:08Whatever is you acting so queer?
00:07:11I don't know.
00:07:11I bet they have a good time every minute of the day.
00:07:14Let's us have a good time.
00:07:16Us have a good time.
00:07:18Us.
00:07:19Yes, us.
00:07:19Come on.
00:07:20Let us play a three-end game of bridge.
00:07:25Janice and Jarvis.
00:07:28Winter Hill.
00:07:29The wedding.
00:07:31It's all so queer.
00:07:38Can't bid.
00:07:39Can't bid.
00:07:39Never have a hand these days.
00:07:41Spade.
00:07:42I want to bid spades.
00:07:43That's what I was going to bid.
00:07:45Unless you're tough luck, I'll bid them first.
00:07:46Oh, you fool, jackass.
00:07:48It's not fair.
00:07:49I'm squalling you two.
00:07:52Tell the truth, neither one of you got such a grand hand to fight over to bid about.
00:07:56But where is the cards?
00:07:57I ain't had no kind of hand all week.
00:07:59I don't give a darn about it.
00:08:00It is immaterial with me.
00:08:03My heart feels them going away.
00:08:05Going farther and farther away while I'm stuck here by myself.
00:08:09You ain't here by yourself.
00:08:11They were the two prettiest people I ever saw.
00:08:14Yet it was like I couldn't see all of them I wanted to see.
00:08:18My brains couldn't gather together quick enough to take it all in.
00:08:23And then they were gone.
00:08:25Well, stop commenting about it.
00:08:27You don't have your mind on the game.
00:08:29Well, spades are trumping.
00:08:31You got a spade.
00:08:31I have some of my mind in the game.
00:08:33Go on, cheater.
00:08:34Make haste, Candy.
00:08:36I can't.
00:08:37It's a king.
00:08:38The only spade I got is a king.
00:08:40And I don't want to play my king on a Frankie's ace.
00:08:43Now, I'm not going to either.
00:08:45See, Bernice, he cheats.
00:08:47Play the king, John Henry.
00:08:48You know you got to follow the rules of the game.
00:08:51My king.
00:08:52It isn't fair.
00:08:54Even with this trick, I can't win.
00:08:56Well, just where is the card?
00:08:58Three days.
00:08:59I ain't had a decent hand.
00:09:01Give him the suspicion something, too.
00:09:03Come on, let's count these old cards.
00:09:05We've worn these old cards out.
00:09:07If you would eat these old cards, they would taste like a combination of all the dinners
00:09:10of this summer, together with a sweaty-handed, nasty taste.
00:09:18Well, the jacks and the queens are missing.
00:09:29John Henry, how come you do a thing like that?
00:09:32So that's why you asked for the scissors and stole off quiet behind the arbor.
00:09:37Why you take our playing cards and cut out all the pictures?
00:09:41Because I wanted them.
00:09:42They're cute.
00:09:44See, he's nothing but a child.
00:09:46He's hopeless.
00:09:47Hopeless!
00:09:49Just have to put him out of the game.
00:09:50He's entirely too young.
00:09:51Oh, no, we can't put candy out the game.
00:09:55Got to have a third to play.
00:09:57Besides, but the last county owes me close to three million dollars.
00:10:00Oh, I am sick unto death.
00:10:03Oh, I wish they'd taken me with them to Winter Hill this afternoon.
00:10:07I wish tomorrow was Sunday instead of Saturday.
00:10:11Sunday will come.
00:10:12I doubt it.
00:10:13I wish I was going somewhere for good.
00:10:15I wish I had a hundred dollars and could just light out and never see this town again.
00:10:20Seems to me like you wishing for a lot of things.
00:10:23I wish I was somebody else except me.
00:10:31Frankie, you serious when you gave me the doll a while ago?
00:10:34Well, it gives me a pain just to think about them.
00:10:37It's a known truth.
00:10:38Gray-eyed people is jealous.
00:10:44Let's go!
00:10:49Let's go play with the children, Frankie!
00:10:51I don't want to.
00:10:52Let's go.
00:10:53You got it, yes.
00:10:54You heard me.
00:10:54I think maybe I better go home.
00:10:57You just can't eat dinner and then go off in the afternoon like that.
00:11:00I know it.
00:11:01You can go home, Candy Lamb, if you want to.
00:11:03But let's go out, Frankie.
00:11:05They sound like they're having a lot of fun.
00:11:07No, they're not.
00:11:08They're just a crowd of ugly, silly children running and hollering, running and hollering.
00:11:13Nothing to it.
00:11:20Look those big girls!
00:11:22Hey there!
00:11:23I'm mighty glad to see you.
00:11:25Come on in.
00:11:25We can't.
00:11:26We were just passing through to notify our new member.
00:11:29Am I the new member?
00:11:30No, you're not the one the club elected.
00:11:34Not elected?
00:11:36Every ballot was unanimous for Mary Littlejohn.
00:11:40Mary Littlejohn?
00:11:41You mean that girl who just moved in next door?
00:11:44Pasty, fat girl with those tacky pigtails?
00:11:47Want to play the piano all day long?
00:11:49Yes.
00:11:50Mary's training for her concert career.
00:11:52You don't have enough sense to appreciate a talented girl like Mary.
00:11:58What are you doing in my yard?
00:12:02You're never going to set foot on my papa's property again.
00:12:06You crooks!
00:12:07I can shoot you in my papa's pistol!
00:12:10What?
00:12:10Why didn't you elect me?
00:12:23Why can't I be a member?
00:12:25I wouldn't pay them club girls no mind all my life.
00:12:29I've been wanting things I ain't been getting.
00:12:30Beside, them club girls are fully two years older than you.
00:12:33I think they've been spreading it all over town that I smell bad.
00:12:37When I had those boils, I had to use that black bit of smelling ointment.
00:12:41I know.
00:12:42That old Helen Fletch asked me,
00:12:44Who is that funny smell I had?
00:12:47I could shoot every one of them with a pistol!
00:12:50I don't think you smell so bad.
00:12:53You smell sweet.
00:12:55Like a hundred flowers.
00:12:56But I use more perfume than anybody else in town.
00:13:01Crooks.
00:13:02And there was something else, too.
00:13:03They were telling big lies about grown-up people.
00:13:10I don't know what kind of fool they take me for.
00:13:12Keep telling you they're too old for you.
00:13:15Frankie, the whole idea of a club is that there are members who are included and the non-members who
00:13:21are not included.
00:13:22Then what you ought to do is round you up a club of your own.
00:13:25That way you'd be the president yourself.
00:13:28Who would I get?
00:13:28Oh, the little boys and girls are here playing around here in the neighborhood.
00:13:31I don't want to be the president of all those little young leftover people.
00:13:35Well, go on and enjoy your misery.
00:13:38I bet Janice and Jarvis are members of a lot of clubs.
00:13:42In fact, the army is kind of like a club.
00:13:45You got two nickels on a dime.
00:13:47Now, don't be rooting through my pocketbook like that, can't it?
00:13:50It ain't nice.
00:13:51Rooting through folks' pocketbook.
00:13:52They might get the idea you're trying to steal their money.
00:13:55I'm looking for your old blue glass eye.
00:13:58Here it is.
00:13:59That's my new eye.
00:14:01Give it here.
00:14:01I still owe $64.23 on this eye.
00:14:05The old blue eye looks very cute.
00:14:07Maybe the finance company will come and take it back.
00:14:12They'll never repossess it while I'm wearing it, and I'm still the same size.
00:14:17You got three eyes.
00:14:19Which one of them do you see out of the best?
00:14:21Left eye, precious.
00:14:22The glass eyes don't do me no seeing good at all.
00:14:26Janice and Jarvis.
00:14:28It gives me this pain just to think about them.
00:14:31It's a known truth.
00:14:32Gray-eyed people is jealous.
00:14:34I told you I wasn't jealous.
00:14:35I couldn't be jealous of one of them unless I was jealous of them both.
00:14:40Associate the two of them together.
00:14:42Well, I was jealous when my foster brother, Honey, married Clorina.
00:14:46I sent a warning.
00:14:46I'd tear the ears clean off her head.
00:14:48But you see, I didn't.
00:14:49She got ears just like everybody else.
00:14:51J.A.
00:14:53Janice and Jarvis.
00:14:56Isn't that the strangest thing?
00:14:59What?
00:15:00J.A.
00:15:01Both their names begin with J.A.
00:15:04Well, what about it?
00:15:05If only my name was...
00:15:09Jane or...
00:15:11Jasmine.
00:15:13I don't follow your frame of mind.
00:15:17Jarvis and Janice and Jasmine.
00:15:20See?
00:15:20No, I don't see.
00:15:21I wonder if it's against the law to change your name or add to it.
00:15:24Naturally, it's against the law.
00:15:27Well, I don't care.
00:15:29F.
00:15:30Jasmine Adams.
00:15:34You serious when you give me this?
00:15:37I will name her Belle.
00:15:40I don't know what went on in Jarvis' mind when he brought me that doll.
00:15:44Imagine bringing me a doll.
00:15:46Your face when you unwrapped that package sure was a study.
00:15:49John Henry, quit picking at the doll's eyes.
00:15:51It makes me so nervous.
00:15:53You hear me?
00:15:54In fact, take that doll somewhere out of my sight.
00:16:00The big mistake I made was to get this close crew cut.
00:16:04For the wedding, I ought to have long brunette hair.
00:16:08Don't you think so?
00:16:09You don't see how come long brunette hair is necessary.
00:16:12But I warned you about getting your head shaved off like that before you did it.
00:16:16But nothing would do but you shave it off like that.
00:16:19I'm so worried about being so tall.
00:16:22I'm 12 and 5, 6 years old.
00:16:24Already I'm 5 feet 5 and 3 quarters inches tall.
00:16:28If I keep on growing like this until I'm 21, I figure I'll be nearly 10 feet tall.
00:16:34How tall, Frankie?
00:16:36I doubt if they ever get married or go to a wedding.
00:16:39Those freaks.
00:16:41Freaks?
00:16:41What freaks are you talking about?
00:16:43The fair.
00:16:44The ones we saw there last October.
00:16:46Oh, the freaks at the fair.
00:16:48Oh, she was the cutest little girl I ever saw.
00:16:51Oh, I never saw anything so cute in my whole life.
00:16:55Did you, Frankie?
00:16:56No, I don't think she was cute.
00:16:58Well, who is that he's talking about?
00:17:00That little old pinhead at the fair.
00:17:02Head no bigger than an orange.
00:17:03The hair all shaved off and a big pink bow at the top.
00:17:07Bow is bigger than the head.
00:17:09Well, that little head of girl was cute.
00:17:11The fact is, all those freak folks fairly give me the creeps.
00:17:17Do I give you the creeps?
00:17:20You?
00:17:22Do you think I will grow into a freak?
00:17:24You?
00:17:26Certainly not, I trust heaven.
00:17:28Well, do you think I will be pretty?
00:17:30Maybe, if you file down them horns and into two.
00:17:34Seriously.
00:17:35Seriously.
00:17:35I think when you fill out, you'll do very well if you behave.
00:17:39But by Sunday, I want to do something to improve myself before the wedding.
00:17:44Then get clean for a change.
00:17:45Scrub them elbows.
00:17:46Fix yourself up nice.
00:17:48You'll do very well.
00:17:49You'll be all right if you file down them horns.
00:17:55I don't know what to do.
00:17:57I just wish I would die.
00:17:59Oh, die, then.
00:18:00Die.
00:18:02Cajon.
00:18:03Cajon.
00:18:04You heard me.
00:18:06Cajon.
00:18:07I'm sick and tired of you, you little midget.
00:18:09Will you not see it?
00:18:10Cajon.
00:18:11Did you hear what I said?
00:18:14Ah!
00:18:16What makes you act like that?
00:18:18You're too mean to live.
00:18:19I know it.
00:18:22Something about John Henry just gets on my nerves these days.
00:18:27I've got a splendor in my foot.
00:18:38That knife ain't no proper thing for a splitter.
00:18:44It seems to me that before this summer, I always used to have such a good time.
00:18:50Remember this spring, how every Friday night Evelyn Owen would come over and spend the night with me?
00:18:55Or I'd go over to her house.
00:18:58And then Evelyn had to go and move away to Florida.
00:19:01Now she won't even write to me.
00:19:03Don't that hurt you none?
00:19:05It hurt anybody else except me.
00:19:08Remember that show Evelyn and me put on?
00:19:10Look ahead, look astern, look the weather in the lee.
00:19:15Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we.
00:19:21You're going to meet another nice girl like Evelyn Owen.
00:19:25Frankie, what you need is a needle.
00:19:27I don't care anything about my old feet.
00:19:34How old were you, Bernice, when you married your first husband?
00:19:37Thirteen years old and ain't grown an inch since.
00:19:41Can marriage really stop your growth?
00:19:43Marriage don't stop nothing.
00:19:45You never loved any of your four husbands but Ludie.
00:19:48Ludie Maxwell Freeman was the only husband I loved.
00:19:51The rest were just scraps.
00:19:54Did you marry with a veil every time?
00:19:56Three times with a veil.
00:20:00If only I just knew where he's gone.
00:20:05Chooze!
00:20:06Now quit worrying about that old alley cat.
00:20:09He's gone off to hunt a friend.
00:20:12To hunt a friend?
00:20:14Certainly.
00:20:14He roamed on to find himself a lady friend.
00:20:17Why don't he bring his friend home with him?
00:20:19He ought to know.
00:20:20I would be only too glad to have a whole family of cat.
00:20:23But you don't seem to last of that old alley cat.
00:20:26I ought to notify the police force.
00:20:29They will find Charles.
00:20:30I wouldn't do that.
00:20:33I want the police force, please.
00:20:38Police force?
00:20:40I'm notifying you about my cat.
00:20:42Cat!
00:20:44He's lost.
00:20:44He's almost pure Persian.
00:20:46As Persian as I is.
00:20:49But with short hair, a lovely color of gray, with a little white spot at his throat, and he answers
00:20:55to the name of Charles.
00:20:57But if he don't answer to that, he might come if you call Charlena.
00:21:01What?
00:21:03My name is Miss F. Jasmine Adams.
00:21:08That gets it.
00:21:08That gets it.
00:21:09And the address is 124 Grove Street.
00:21:13Ha!
00:21:17Yeah?
00:21:18They're coming in here and tie you up.
00:21:21And drag you off to Hootenville.
00:21:24Just picture them fat blue police chasing tomcats up and down alleys.
00:21:29I'll come here, Charles.
00:21:30Come here, Charlena.
00:21:31Merciful heavens.
00:21:33Oh, shut up.
00:21:34I'll plug with you.
00:21:35You got no sense of humor no more.
00:21:37Maybe I'll be better off than jail.
00:21:39Sit down, Frankie.
00:21:40You make me nervous.
00:21:42I bet Janice and Jarvis are almost to Winter Hill by now.
00:21:47Did you hear what Jarvis said?
00:21:49No.
00:21:50They were talking about whether to vote for C.P. McDonald.
00:21:53And Jarvis said, why wouldn't vote for that scoundrel if he were running to be dog catcher?
00:22:03Well, I'd never heard anything so witty in my life.
00:22:07And you know what Janice remarked when Jarvis mentioned about how much I'd grown?
00:22:11She said she didn't think I looked so terribly big.
00:22:14She said she got the major portion of her growth before she was 13.
00:22:18She said I was the right height and had acting talent and ought to go to Hollywood.
00:22:22She did, Bernice.
00:22:23Okay, all right.
00:22:24She did.
00:22:24She said I was a lovely size and I probably wouldn't grow any taller.
00:22:27She said anyway, all fashion models and movie stars.
00:22:30She did not.
00:22:30She did not.
00:22:31I heard her from the window.
00:22:33She only remarked you had probably reached your growth.
00:22:36But she didn't go on and on like that or mention anything about Hollywood.
00:22:41She said to me.
00:22:42She said to you.
00:22:43That's a serious fall, Frankie.
00:22:45Somebody just chanced to make a loose remark.
00:22:48You're closing in that mind of yours till nobody'd recognize it.
00:22:51Like the time your Aunt Pet mentioned you had sweet manners.
00:22:55The next thing I know you was going all around bragging how you had the finest manners in town.
00:23:00You ought to go to Hollywood.
00:23:01That's a serious fault.
00:23:04Quit preaching at me.
00:23:06I'm not preaching at you.
00:23:07It's a solemn truth and you know it.
00:23:09I admit it.
00:23:10Well?
00:23:10A little.
00:23:13What I need to know is this.
00:23:17Do you think I made a good impression?
00:23:19Impression?
00:23:20Yes.
00:23:21Well, how would I know?
00:23:23Well, I mean, how did I act?
00:23:26What did I do?
00:23:27You didn't do nothing to speak of.
00:23:30Nothing?
00:23:31No, you just stood there.
00:23:33Watched a pair of them like they were ghosts.
00:23:35And when they start talking about that wedding, them ears of yours stiffened out the size of cabbage leaves.
00:23:43They didn't.
00:23:43They did.
00:23:45Someday you're going to find that big fat tongue of yours pulling up by the roots and laying there before
00:23:50you on the table.
00:23:51Oh, quit talking.
00:23:52It's so rude.
00:23:54I'm so scared I didn't make a good impression.
00:23:57Oh, come, sugar.
00:23:58Bernice didn't mean it that way.
00:24:00They were so pretty.
00:24:02They must have such a good time and they went away and loved me.
00:24:06Frankie, I want you to sit up and behave yourself.
00:24:09They came and went away.
00:24:11Loved me with this feeling.
00:24:14Oh, see, I bet I know something.
00:24:17Frankie's got a crush.
00:24:19Frankie's got a crush.
00:24:21Frankie's got a crush on the wedding.
00:24:24Quit!
00:24:24Frankie's got a crush.
00:24:26Frankie's got a crush.
00:24:27You better quit!
00:24:28Put that knife down.
00:24:30Make me.
00:24:31Put it down, devil.
00:24:34Well, throw it.
00:24:41I'm the best knife thrower in this town.
00:24:43If they would have a contest, I would win.
00:24:45Frances Adams, you're going to try that stunt once too often.
00:24:48I warned you to quit picking with me.
00:24:49You just ain't fit to live in a house.
00:24:51I don't be living in this one much longer.
00:24:53I'm going to run away from home.
00:24:54Good riddance to a big old bag of rubbish.
00:24:56You wait and see.
00:24:57I'm leaving town.
00:24:57Where do you think you're going?
00:25:01I don't know.
00:25:02You're going crazy.
00:25:03That's where you're going.
00:25:05No.
00:25:08This coming Sunday, after the wedding, I'm leaving town.
00:25:13And I swear by my two eyes, I'm never coming back here anymore.
00:25:18Sugar, you're serious.
00:25:19Of course.
00:25:20Do you think I would stand here and swear that swear and tell a story?
00:25:24Sometimes, Bernice.
00:25:26I think it takes you longer to realize a fact than it does anybody who ever lived.
00:25:31But you say you don't know where you're going.
00:25:33You're going, but you don't know where.
00:25:35And that don't make sense to me.
00:25:37Oh, I feel just exactly like somebody's peeled all the skin off me.
00:25:43Oh, I wish I had some good cold peach ice cream.
00:25:47But every word I told you is a solemn truth.
00:25:49I'm leaving here after the wedding.
00:25:52Oh.
00:25:53Oh, hello, T.T. and Honey.
00:25:55I didn't hear you coming.
00:25:56Hello.
00:25:58What's the matter?
00:25:59Oh, your foster brother, Honey, got into a ruckus again.
00:26:03Stand on the sidewalk in front of Sam's Cafe, and the police cracked him on the head.
00:26:07What?
00:26:12Why, it's a welt the size of a small egg.
00:26:17Times like this, I feel like I've got to bust loose or die.
00:26:20What was you doing?
00:26:22Nothing.
00:26:23I'm just passing down the street, minding my own business when this drunk soldier came out of sands and bumped
00:26:27into me.
00:26:28I looked at him, he gave me a push.
00:26:30I pushed him back and he started a ruckus.
00:26:32Then this MP came up and slammed me with a stick.
00:26:34Oh, but this one knows accident.
00:26:36It could happen to anybody.
00:26:37Toots him on your horn, honey.
00:26:39Now, don't bother my horn, Butch.
00:26:43Dootie-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
00:26:46I told you not to touch my horn.
00:26:47Look at it.
00:26:48You've got it full of slobber inside and out.
00:26:49It's rolling.
00:26:50Don't touch that little boy or stomp your brains out.
00:26:57Now, John Henry knows when he needs a good shake.
00:27:01Don't you, butch?
00:27:03Now, you run on home, Candice.
00:27:05Way past your supper time.
00:27:08John Henry, which hand is the money in?
00:27:10You can keep it if you guessed right.
00:27:14I won. Much obliged.
00:27:21That sure is a cute suit you got on, honey.
00:27:24Yesterday I heard somebody speak about you as Lightfoot Brown.
00:27:28I think that's a grand nickname.
00:27:30On account of your going to Harlem and all the different places where you've run away.
00:27:36Lightfoot.
00:27:37I wish somebody would call me Lightfoot Adams.
00:27:40Suit me better if honey Camden had brick feet.
00:27:43Keeps me anxious and keeps me worried.
00:27:46Come on, let's go.
00:27:49Now, Frankie, I want you to forget all that foolishness we were discussing, you hear?
00:27:54Now, if your papa ain't home but good dark, go over to your aunt Pets and Play with John Henry.
00:27:58Since when have I been scared of the dark?
00:28:00You'll find your supper on top of the stove and pie in the icebox.
00:28:08Good night, sugar.
00:28:09Not good.
00:28:59John Henry?
00:29:02John Henry?
00:29:05John Henry?
00:29:07Yes, Frankie?
00:29:08Frankie?
00:29:09You asleep?
00:29:10No.
00:29:11What do you want, Frankie?
00:29:13Come on over and spend the night with me.
00:29:15I can't.
00:29:17Why?
00:29:18Just because.
00:29:19Because why?
00:29:20We could have a good time.
00:29:22Frankie, I don't want to.
00:29:25You fool, jackass suit yourself.
00:29:29I only asked you because you look so ugly and so lonesome.
00:29:32Why?
00:29:33I'm not a bit lonesome.
00:29:36Well, I don't want to go into that empty, ugly house all by myself.
00:29:39I'm mad at you.
00:29:51I think something's wrong.
00:29:53It's too quiet.
00:29:55I have a peculiar supernatural warning in my bones.
00:29:59I bet you a hundred dollars is gonna storm.
00:30:02I don't want to spend the night with you.
00:30:05Terrible, terrible dog day storm.
00:30:08Maybe even a cyclone or a tornado or a tidal wave.
00:30:14Frankie, if you're afraid, I'll get my weekend bag and come over.
00:30:19Suit yourself.
00:30:20Then I'll stay here.
00:30:21You don't need a weekend bag.
00:30:22You're not going up to Savannah just here.
00:30:24Go tell your mama.
00:30:25She's at the show.
00:30:27She'll know where you are.
00:30:28Come on.
00:30:53Come on.
00:31:20You've been going to get a pro.
00:31:29Now I lay me down to sleep.
00:31:31If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.
00:31:35God bless Berenice, Mama, Uncle Royal, Honey, Titi, the Americans, and Frankie.
00:31:55Frankie, when Berenice said...
00:31:57Shh, that sounds like honey.
00:32:14He stopped to bang the spit out of his horn.
00:32:18Please, honey, go on, finish.
00:32:19I bet a policeman stopped him.
00:32:27To me, it is the irony of fate the way they come here.
00:32:31Those moors could fly anywhere.
00:32:33Yet they keep hanging around the windows of this house.
00:32:43I told Berenice I was leaving town for good.
00:32:46She did not believe me.
00:32:48Sometimes I honestly think she's the biggest fool that ever drew breath.
00:32:52I try to impress something on a big fool like that, and it's just like talking to a block of
00:32:57cement.
00:32:59I kept on telling and telling and telling her.
00:33:01I told her I had to leave this town for good, because it is inevitable.
00:33:08Inevitable!
00:33:09What's inevitable?
00:33:11What's inevitable?
00:33:12Don't bother me, John Henry.
00:33:13I'm thinking.
00:33:13What are you thinking?
00:33:13What are you thinking about?
00:33:17What are you thinking?
00:33:17What are you thinking about?
00:33:17About the wedding.
00:33:20About my brother and the bride.
00:33:24Everything's been so sudden today.
00:33:28I never believed before about the fact that the earth turns at about the rate of a thousand miles a
00:33:33day.
00:33:34But now it seems to me, I feel the world going around very fast.
00:33:39I feel it turning, and it makes me dizzy.
00:33:43Turn the other way.
00:33:48I'm going with them.
00:33:50What?
00:33:51I tell you, I'm going with them.
00:33:52It's like I've known it all my life.
00:33:55Tomorrow I will tell everybody.
00:33:56Huh?
00:33:57After the wedding, I'm going with them to Winter Hill.
00:34:00You serious?
00:34:02The trouble with me is that for a long time, I have been just an I person.
00:34:07All people belong to a we, except me.
00:34:10When Bernice says we, she means her church and lodge and colored people.
00:34:15Soldiers can say we and mean the army.
00:34:18Until this afternoon, I didn't have a we.
00:34:21But now after seeing Janice and Jarvis,
00:34:23I suddenly realize that the bride and my brother are the we of me.
00:34:30So I'm going with them.
00:34:32I'm going with them and joining with the wedding.
00:34:35This coming Sunday, when my brother and the bride leave town,
00:34:38I'm going with them to Winter Hill.
00:34:40And after that, to whatever place that they will ever go.
00:34:52I love the two of them so much when we belong to be together.
00:34:59I love the two of them so much because they are the we of me.
00:35:19You're going into Tara if you ain't careful.
00:35:21I'm leaving town tomorrow.
00:35:23After the wedding, I'm going with my brother Jarvis and Janice to Winter Hill.
00:35:26And after that, for the rest of our lives over the whole wide world.
00:35:31That's a solemn fact.
00:35:32I'll probably never see this old street again for the rest of my whole life.
00:35:36Goodbye.
00:35:37Take care.
00:35:48Good morning, Papa.
00:35:50Good morning.
00:35:52Papa, there's something I have to tell you.
00:35:55After the wedding, I'm going away.
00:35:57Mm-hmm.
00:35:59Papa?
00:36:02How many times do I have to tell you not to touch things?
00:36:05If you break that, it will cost me five dollars.
00:36:11Papa, please listen to me.
00:36:14All right.
00:36:15I'm listening.
00:36:16What is it?
00:36:17I'm trying to tell you that after the wedding, I'm...
00:36:20Frankie, you take that lipstick off.
00:36:26Now, what was it you wanted?
00:36:28I have to buy a wedding dress.
00:36:30All right.
00:36:30You charge it at O'Rourke's.
00:36:31Wedding shoes and a pair of sheer stockings.
00:36:33You get what you need.
00:36:36I'll call up and tell them it's all right.
00:36:38Now you get something nice.
00:36:42I'll write to you, Papa.
00:36:44I'll write you every day.
00:37:09Get it out.
00:37:10Pretty good, huh?
00:37:11Yes.
00:37:12You want that stuff again?
00:37:14Of course not.
00:37:15Stop lying, Satan.
00:37:17That much wine ain't natural.
00:37:19That's gin blowing.

00:47:51berenice
00:47:51do you think very frequently about ludy
00:47:54you know i do
00:47:56i think of the five wonderful years we had together
00:48:00all the bad times i've seen since
00:48:03sometimes i almost wish i'd never knew ludy at all

00:48:08you go home from work at night
00:48:11a terrible lonesome quench comes over you
00:48:13take up with too many sorry men
00:48:15you try and get over that feeling
00:48:18but tt is not sorry
00:48:20oh i wasn't referring to tt
00:48:22he is a fine upstanding colored gentleman
00:48:24that's walked in the state of grace all his life
00:48:27but are you going to marry with him
00:48:28i'm not going to marry with him
00:48:30but you were just now saying
00:48:32i was just now saying
00:48:33how sincerely i respect tt
00:48:35and how sincerely i regard tt
00:48:38but he don't make me shiver none
00:48:41listen bernice
00:48:44there's something queer i have to tell you
00:48:47it's something that happened to me
00:48:49when i was riding around town today
00:48:51now
00:48:53i don't exactly know how to explain what i mean
00:48:56then what is it
00:48:58well
00:49:00i was riding along
00:49:02and i passed two stores with an alley in between
00:49:04and the sun was frying hot
00:49:07and just as i passed this alley
00:49:10i caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my left eye
00:49:14a dark double shape
00:49:17and this glimpse brought to my mind
00:49:19so sudden and clear
00:49:20my brother and the bride
00:49:22that i just stopped and
00:49:23and couldn't hardly bear to look and see what it was
00:49:27and then i turned slowly
00:49:29and look
00:49:32and you know what was there
00:49:38it was just two boys that was all
00:49:42but it gave me such a queer feeling
00:49:45that is the most remarkable thing i ever heard of
00:49:49what i mean is
00:49:50i know
00:49:50i know what you mean
00:49:54you mean right here in the corner of your eye
00:49:57you suddenly catch something
00:49:59a shiver runs through you
00:50:01you whirl around
00:50:02stand there facing
00:50:04you don't know what
00:50:06but not ludy
00:50:07not who you want
00:50:10and for a minute
00:50:11you feel like you've been dropped down a well
00:50:15yes that's it
00:50:18it's mighty remarkable
00:50:21it's a thing been happening to me all my life
00:50:25yet just now
00:50:26it's the first time i ever heard it put into words
00:50:30yes that's the way it is when you're in love
00:50:35i always maintained i never believed in love
00:50:38i never believed in love
00:50:42i have something to tell you
00:50:43and it's to be a warning
00:50:45you hear me frankie
00:50:47you hear me john henry
00:50:49yes i hear you berenice
00:50:51i'm here to tell you i was happy
00:50:54no human woman in all the world was happier than i was in them days
00:50:58and that includes everybody
00:51:00the five years you were married to ludy
00:51:02from that autumn morning
00:51:05when i first met him on the road in front of campbell's filling station
00:51:09up until the very night he died
00:51:13november the year 1940
00:51:16the very year and the very month i was born
00:51:20it was thursday
00:51:22thursday long towards six o'clock
00:51:24around this time of day only november
00:51:27i remember i went to the passage and opened the front door
00:51:31dark was coming on
00:51:33the old hound was howling far away
00:51:36and i go back in the room
00:51:39lay down on ludy's bed
00:51:42and i lay myself over ludy
00:51:45with my arms spread out
00:51:48and my face on his face
00:51:52and i prayed
00:51:55and asked the lord
00:51:57to contag my strength
00:52:00my strength
00:52:02to him
00:52:05i even asked the lord
00:52:07to let it be anybody
00:52:10but please don't let it be duty
00:52:14i laid there
00:52:15i prayed
00:52:18oh how i've prayed
00:52:20prayed for a long time
00:52:23until night
00:52:33yet that night he died
00:52:36i tell you he died
00:52:39ludy
00:52:40ludy freeman
00:52:45ludy maxwell freeman died
00:53:04it seems to me i feel
00:53:07sadder about ludy than any other dead person
00:53:10although i never knew him
00:53:14i know i ought to cry sometimes about my mother
00:53:16but it looks like i can't
00:53:20but ludy
00:53:23maybe it was because i was born so soon after ludy died
00:53:29but you were starting out to tell some kind of a warning
00:53:33don't you see what i was doing
00:53:36i love ludy
00:53:37he was the first man i ever loved
00:53:41therefore i had to go and copy myself forever after
00:53:45and what i did
00:53:46was to marry off
00:53:48these little pieces of ludy wherever i run across them
00:53:52and it was my misfortune
00:53:54they all turned out to be the wrong pieces
00:54:00but my intentions was to repeat me and ludy
00:54:04now don't you see
00:54:06i see what you're driving at
00:54:08but i don't see how it is a warning applied to me
00:54:12you don't
00:54:14and i'll tell you
00:54:16you and that wedding tomorrow
00:54:18that's what i'm warning you about
00:54:21i see what you have in mind
00:54:23don't think i don't
00:54:25you think you're gonna march up to the preacher
00:54:28right in between your brother and the bride
00:54:31you think you're gonna break into that wedding
00:54:34and heaven only knows what else
00:54:37no
00:54:38i don't see myself walking to the preacher with them
00:54:41i see through them eyes don't argue with me
00:54:45and what i'm warning you is this
00:54:49if you fall in love with some unheard of thing like this
00:54:54what is ever gonna happen to you
00:54:56will you be trying to break into weddings
00:55:00the rest of your days
00:55:02it makes me sick to listen to people who don't have any sense
00:55:06you just like to talk about looting
00:55:08that's all
00:55:08it's got nothing to do with me

00:57:08for the wedding cookies
00:57:14if it's anything i mortally despise
00:57:16it's a person who starts out to tell something
00:57:18and works up people's interests
00:57:19and then stops
00:57:22i admit it i'm sorry
00:57:23but it was one of them things
00:57:25i suddenly realized
00:57:26i couldn't tell you and john henry
00:57:28you could have sent him out of the room
00:57:30and told me
00:57:30oh no precious britties
00:57:32couldn't do that either
00:57:34but don't think i care a particle
00:57:36about what happened
00:57:36i just wish willis roads
00:57:38had come in about that time
00:57:39and slit your throat
00:57:41i wish you'd stop talking so rude
00:57:43now here candy
00:57:45here's the scrap of dough
00:57:46for you to make your cookie bag
00:57:48cookies cookies cookies
00:57:52i intend to take two baths tonight
00:57:55one long soaking bath
00:57:56and scrub with a brush
00:57:57i'm gonna try and scrape this crust
00:58:00off my elbows
00:58:01then let out the dirty water
00:58:02take a second bath
00:58:03great
00:58:04good idea
00:58:05be glad
00:58:06see you clean for a check
00:58:07i will take two baths
00:58:09why is it against the law
00:58:11to change your name
00:58:13what's that on your neck
00:58:15thought that was the head
00:58:16you carried on that neck
00:58:17just think
00:58:19suppose i ups
00:58:20and calls myself
00:58:21mrs eleanor roosevelt
00:58:24john henry here
00:58:25tries to palm himself off
00:58:26as henry ford
00:58:27don't talk childish
00:58:29that's not the kind of changing
00:58:30i mean
00:58:31i mean from a name
00:58:33that doesn't suit you
00:58:34to a name you prefer
00:58:35like i changed from
00:58:37frankie to f jasmine
00:58:39but it would still be confusion
00:58:41suppose we all decided
00:58:43to change two entirely
00:58:45different names
00:58:46nobody would know
00:58:47who anybody was talking about
00:58:48the whole world
00:58:49would go crazy
00:58:50i don't see what that
00:58:50has to do with it
00:58:51because things
00:58:54accumulate around a name
00:58:55you have a name
00:58:56one thing after another
00:58:57happens to you
00:58:58things have accumulated
00:59:00around your name

01:07:00Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the presence of
01:07:05these witnesses to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Do you, Jarvis,
01:07:11take Janice to be your wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward for better,
01:07:18for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death
01:07:26do you part? I do. And do you, Janice, take Jarvis to be your wedded husband, to have and to
01:07:33hold
01:07:34from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,
01:07:42to love and to cherish till death do you part? I do. The ring. Repeat after me, Jarvis.
01:07:52With this ring, I thee wed. With this ring, I thee wed.
01:08:01Oh, Frankie! Frankie!
01:08:31A toast. A toast to the bride.
01:08:38Come with me.
01:08:41Iですね.
01:08:48I am my husband.
01:08:50Have yourself a date.
01:08:55Frankie!
01:08:55Frankie. I'm going with you. With us? Frankie, you can't. I love you. We have to be together. Wherever you
01:09:02go, I'm going too. Frankie, this is our honeymoon. What is it? Frankie, get out of there. Dennis and Jarvis
01:09:09are taking me with them. This is the absolute limit. Frankie, get out of there or I'll pull you out.
01:09:14No, don't touch me. Dad, let me talk to her, please.
01:09:23Please. Frankie, your brother and I are married now and we only have three days together before he has to
01:09:30go back to camp. You don't want to spoil it for us, do you? I know you love us and
01:09:37we love you.
01:09:39We, we, when you say we, you only mean you and Jarvis and I'm not included. Frankie, you're spoiling our
01:09:46wedding. No, I'm not. I'm not. Take me.
01:09:49Take me. Take me. All right. You'll have to be shown then. This is right. Bring you, get out of
01:09:58here. I've had enough of this nonsense. Take me.
01:10:23Come on. Leave me. Come on in the house.
01:10:47They put old Frankie out of the wedding. They hold her out of the wedding bar. That's sufficient, John Henry.
01:10:52Why don't you leave Frankie alone?
01:10:55Oh, my heart feels so cheap.
01:10:58It makes you want to leave your old papa like this.
01:11:01I love them so.
01:11:04Frankie, don't cry.
01:11:06Now, please be reasonable, Frankie.
01:11:10I just wish the whole world would die.
01:11:15Listen, tell me what you'd like and I'll try to do it if it's in my power.
01:11:21All I wish in the world is for no human being to speak to me again as long as I
01:11:27live.
01:11:28Well, ball then, misery.
01:11:30Well, it looks like the show is over and the monkey's dead.
01:11:38You'll think it's over, but it's not.
01:11:40No, no, no, no, no.
01:11:41You want to come down and help me in the store tomorrow?
01:11:44Polish some silver with a chamois rag?
01:11:47You can even play with those old watch springs.
01:11:51If you think it's all over, that only shows how little you know.
01:12:46They all complimented the wine punch.
01:12:49You got a touch with liquor, Titi.
01:12:52I do for a fact.
01:12:54Well, I reckon it's because I keep the liquor on the outside of it instead of on the in most
01:12:58of the time.
01:13:01Who's that?
01:13:03Bernice.
01:13:04What are you doing out there?
01:13:05Douse the light.
01:13:06What are you doing out there? What are you afraid of?
01:13:08Turn off the light.
01:13:10Drunk?
01:13:11I'm scared out of being drunk.
01:13:13In trouble?
01:13:15The law is active.
01:13:17Honey, what have you done now?
01:13:19Well, I borrowed this card.
01:13:25John Henry, what are you doing here like that?
01:13:27Do you want to catch a death?
01:13:29I feel funny, Bernice.
01:13:31No, you don't.
01:13:32Now go home to bed before your mama comes back and finds you here.
01:13:35I'm sick, Bernice.
01:13:37No, you're not.
01:13:38You just want attention.
01:13:39Now run on home, Candy.
01:13:40I don't have the patience to fool with you tonight.
01:13:48What happened?
01:13:50Well, I, I borrowed this car.
01:13:52Car hit a man hard.
01:13:53Right to kill him.
01:13:54And you run away?
01:13:57You fool.
01:13:58Honey Brown, you fool.
01:14:00What's the white man?
01:14:01I think so.
01:14:05Bernice, you gotta help me.
01:14:06They put me on the road again for this for sure.
01:14:09If I'm lucky, they put me on the road.
01:14:11Don't talk like that.
01:14:13T.T.
01:14:14I have to ask you to do this for me.
01:14:16Here's all the money I got.
01:14:17You want me to take him out of town in my car?
01:14:19Please.
01:14:22Bernice, I...
01:14:25Honey, honey, you will be careful.
01:14:29You'll be careful, both of you.
01:14:41Lord, you took Ludi.
01:14:45Won't you please watch over Honey Camden?
01:14:48He's all the family I've got left.
01:14:53He's all the family I've got left.
01:15:24He's all the family I've got.
01:15:31We'll be careful, both of you.
01:15:33We'll be careful, both of you.
01:15:37Lord, comeよう.
01:15:51Marshal.

01:16:29¶¶
01:16:35¶¶
01:16:35You, Percy, pick that up.
01:16:38Uh, pick it up yourself.
01:16:40You clean that up.
01:16:42Enough to a slave to walk around after you
01:16:44and clean up your dirt, you pig, you.
01:16:46Get out of here.
01:16:49Go someplace and die.
01:16:50AHHHHHHHHHHH
01:16:53AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
01:17:25Hey there.
01:17:27I saw you through the window.
01:17:30Hello?
01:17:42Where are you going?
01:17:44I don't know.
01:17:46Savannah, I guess.
01:17:47I have to go back to camp tomorrow.
01:17:50Boy, I'll sure be glad to get out of this old town.
01:17:54Three days I've been here, three days, and nobody's even said hello to me.
01:17:58All they want to say is how much something costs.
01:18:03What's the matter?
01:18:07Well, what's the matter?
01:18:08I think they're after me.
01:18:10My father might have sent them.
01:18:11You see, I've decided to leave home.
01:18:16There's a back room.
01:18:18Well, we can go in there.
01:18:23Come on.
01:18:25Bring the beer.
01:18:44Well, let's sit down.
01:18:59Drink up.
01:19:01No, I don't think I want any more, thank you.
01:19:05Well, don't be scared.
01:19:10Let's go outside.
01:19:11They probably went away.
01:19:12It's nicer in here.
01:19:16Go!
01:19:19Go!
01:19:20Go!
01:19:22Go!
01:19:24Go!
01:20:58John Henry?
01:21:00John Henry?
01:21:02Shh.
01:21:03John Henry's bad sick.
01:21:05Don't make any noise.
01:21:07I'll come up.
01:21:11You stay there.
01:21:13The doctor doesn't know what ails John Henry, yet it might be catching.
01:21:16But he'd like to see me.
01:21:20He's too sick, Frankie.
01:21:23Now you go to bed.
01:21:25How bad is he sick, Bernice?
01:21:28He's...
01:21:30He...
01:21:41Now...
01:21:46Now...
01:21:48Oh, my God.
01:22:43Oh, my God.
01:22:57Oh, my God.
01:23:00Oh, my God.
