00:14:52 [HORSE GALLOPING]
00:14:57 - Well, all right, things are going to win.
00:14:59 - Don't always.
00:15:00 Beautiful horse.
00:15:02 - Who are you?
00:15:05 - My name's Adam Kramer.
00:15:07 The innkeeper said this would be a good time for us to talk.
00:15:09 - Well, what's on your mind?
00:15:11 - Quite a bit, sir. I think you'll be interested.
00:15:13 - Well, you tell me all about whatever it is you're selling.
00:15:16 In a letter.
00:15:17 Keep on working him, right?
00:15:19 - Yes, sir.
00:15:20 - Oh, Mr. Shipman.
00:15:22 I'm not selling anything.
00:15:26 - Then what are you after?
00:15:28 - A little courtesy, for one thing.
00:15:30 Mr. Shipman, I've traveled all the way from Washington, D.C. to talk to you.
00:15:35 - Washington, eh?
00:15:37 - Yes, sir. D.C.
00:15:38 - Well, let's go over here in the shade.
00:15:40 - Good.
00:15:42 Lovely place you have.
00:15:43 - Thank you. Thank you.
00:15:45 Well, now, what is it you want to know?
00:15:47 - Well, sir, you see, I represent the Patrick Henry Society.
00:15:51 And what we'd like to know is just this, how you stand,
00:15:54 whether you're for integration or against it.
00:15:56 - That's a stupid question, young man. I'm a southerner.
00:15:58 Sit down. Sit down.
00:16:00 - Thank you.
00:16:01 - See, I was born and raised in these parts.
00:16:03 So were my folks.
00:16:05 - You're against it.
00:16:06 - Well, of course I'm against it. What's the matter with you?
00:16:09 - Well, I'd just like to get it straight.
00:16:11 You see, sir, our organization agrees with you.
00:16:14 We believe this ruling to be one of the greatest wrongs the government has ever perpetrated.
00:16:18 - Yeah, it's a shame, all right. But what can we do?
00:16:22 - Fight.
00:16:26 - We did. We lost.
00:16:28 It's a law now.
00:16:30 - Whose law?
00:16:33 - I thought this was a democracy, and I thought a democracy was based on the collective will of the people.
00:16:37 - Sure, of course, sure.
00:16:40 - And is it the collective will of the people
00:16:42 that Negroes should be allowed to mix with whites right under the same roof?
00:16:46 Study with them, eat with them, maybe even sleep with them?
00:16:50 Is it the collective will of the people that niggers should be allowed to take over the whole world?
00:16:56 Because that's what's going to happen, Mr. Shipman.
00:17:02 - You think it can be stopped?
00:17:04 - With your help, I'm sure of it.
00:17:06 - Legally?
00:17:08 Start talking, my boy.
00:17:12 - Come on, everyone.
00:17:28 Use the bathroom.
00:17:30 - Come on.
00:17:31 - How many times you gonna wear that shirt?
00:17:46 - Well, you wanna look nice, don't you?
00:17:48 - Hey, man, dick, integration, black and white, how about that?
00:17:55 - Why don't you shut up and turn that junk off?
00:17:58 - You talking about junk, that's music, man.
00:18:00 - I said turn it off.
00:18:02 - Joey.
00:18:03 - I'm sorry, Ma, I'm just bushed.
00:18:06 - Hey, you really gonna make him go to the white school tomorrow?
00:18:10 - Why, I'm not making him go.
00:18:12 - Am I, Joey?
00:18:14 - No, Ma.
00:18:15 - Well, it's too bad I ain't old enough.
00:18:17 I wouldn't be scared, that's all.
00:18:18 - Who's scared?
00:18:20 - You are.
00:18:21 Man, you know what you ought to do.
00:18:23 I'll tell you what you ought to do.
00:18:24 Get yourself a gun.
00:18:26 Play it cool, see?
00:18:28 First grade student looks at you sideways.
00:18:30 Blam! Blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam.
00:18:33 - You're distal.
00:18:41 I don't think Daddy would approve of this kind of thing going on.
00:18:57 I know Mr. Shipman wouldn't approve of this kind of thing going on in his car.
00:19:02 - Good morning.
00:19:24 Will the children step forward, please.
00:19:27 (bells ringing)
00:19:28 I'm not going to bore you with the long sermon.
00:19:34 I just want to let you know that I know how you feel, every one of you.
00:19:37 I know because I can see it in your faces.
00:19:40 Be strong, children.
00:19:42 Not muscle and pride strong.
00:19:45 Man strong.
00:19:46 Let your strength be shown in meekness.
00:19:49 You'll win this fight.
00:19:51 Not only for yourself, but for all our people.
00:19:55 Let us pray.
00:19:57 Oh Lord, in thy mercy, protect these ten lambs.
00:20:02 When they walk in the valley off the shadow, comfort them.
00:20:07 And when they falter, give them strength.
00:20:11 When they despair, give them hope.
00:20:14 And let them do thy will.
00:20:18 Amen.
00:20:25 (bells ringing)
00:20:26 - You niggers are going to cause so much niggers to get killed.
00:20:44 - What did you say, Uncle Rowan?
00:20:46 - I said you niggers are going to cause so much niggers to get killed.
00:20:51 (dramatic music)

00:22:59 - Get out of that school, smug.
00:23:02 (crowd chattering)
00:23:05 - This is a white school for white people.
00:23:13 - Yeah, you dirty lousy coon.
00:23:15 (dramatic music)
00:23:18 - What's the trouble here?
00:23:21 - Well, just what do you think?
00:23:23 (dramatic music)
00:23:26 (dramatic music)
00:23:28 (dramatic music)
00:23:49 (dramatic music)
00:23:51 - I'll tell you something right here and now.
00:23:58 It may be hot tonight, but it's gonna get hotter
00:24:00 for a whole lot of people.
00:24:01 This here little town's gonna burn.
00:24:04 What I mean, it's gonna burn the conscience of the country
00:24:08 and put forth a light that everyone
00:24:11 and everybody's gonna see and feel.
00:24:13 This town I'm talking about, Caxton.
00:24:15 (crowd cheering)
00:24:18 (crowd cheering)
00:24:20 - People, something happened today.
00:24:23 Ten Negroes went into the Caxton High School
00:24:28 and sat with the white children there.
00:24:30 Nobody stopped them.
00:24:33 Nobody turned them out.
00:24:35 And you know what they're saying that means?
00:24:39 They're saying that you all don't give a darn
00:24:43 whether the whites mix with the blacks
00:24:46 because you didn't fight against it.
00:24:48 Well, I say, how can somebody fight what he doesn't see?
00:24:53 They've kept the facts away from you.
00:24:56 They've cheated and deceived every one of you.
00:25:00 They've filled your heads with filthy lies
00:25:04 and kept you in the dark
00:25:07 so that when you finally do wake up...
00:25:13 Why, we're sorry, but it's just too late.
00:25:16 (crowd cheering)
00:25:18 All right.
00:25:21 Now, I'm associated with the Patrick Henry Society
00:25:30 which is an organization dedicated
00:25:33 to giving the people the truth.
00:25:35 What I'm gonna tell you is gonna make your blood boil
00:25:41 because I'm gonna show you
00:25:42 that the way this country is gonna go
00:25:45 depends entirely and wholly and completely on you.
00:25:52 (crowd cheering)
00:25:55 Now, you all know
00:26:03 that there was peace and quiet in the South
00:26:10 before the NAACP started stirring up trouble.
00:26:13 But what you don't know
00:26:17 is that this so-called advancement of colored people
00:26:21 is now and has always been
00:26:26 nothing but a communist front
00:26:29 headed by a Jew who hates America
00:26:32 and doesn't make any bones about it either.
00:26:35 Well, the commies didn't waste a second.
00:26:39 They knew only too well, friends,
00:26:41 that the quickest way to cripple a country
00:26:46 is to mongrelize it.
00:26:48 So they poured all the millions of dollars
00:26:52 the Jews could get for them into this one thing,
00:26:55 desegregation.
00:26:58 They went to the courts.
00:27:00 Now, Judge Silver,
00:27:03 who is a Jew
00:27:08 and is known to have leftist leanings...
00:27:10 Who says so?
00:27:12 The record says so. Look it up.
00:27:17 Abraham Silver, for one thing, belongs to the Quillen Pen Society
00:27:22 which receives its funds indirectly from Moscow.
00:27:26 So what did the judge do?
00:27:30 Went right ahead and ordered integration for the Caxton High School.
00:27:37 Your mayor and the governor
00:27:40 could have stopped it, but they didn't have the guts!
00:27:43 All right.
00:27:49 Now, you may think
00:27:53 the problem
00:27:55 is simply whether we're going to allow ten Negroes to go to our schools.
00:27:59 That's only a small part of it.
00:28:01 I'm in a position to know
00:28:05 because the Patrick Henry Society
00:28:07 has studied the whole thing.
00:28:09 The real problem, whether you like it or not,
00:28:11 is whether you're going to sit back
00:28:14 and let desegregation spread throughout the entire South.
00:28:19 And it's an indisputable fact that there could be no other result!
00:28:22 The Negroes will literally,
00:28:25 and I do mean literally,
00:28:27 control the South!
00:28:29 The vote will be theirs!
00:28:31 You'll have black mayors and black policemen
00:28:34 the way they do in Chicago and New York already!
00:28:36 Like there's not a black governor
00:28:38 and black doctors to deliver your babies!
00:28:40 If they find time, that is!
00:28:43 And that's the way it'll be!
00:28:46 Did you ever stop to think about that?
00:28:50 When you let those ten enter your school, did you?
00:28:54 Now let me ask you.
00:29:02 Do you people want niggers taken over?
00:29:05 No!
00:29:07 And are you willing to fight this thing down to the last stitch
00:29:12 and keep fighting until it's over?
00:29:15 Then I'm willing to fight with you!
00:29:20 Why, Mr. Kramer?
00:29:22 Why?
00:29:31 Because I'm an American, sir, and I love my country.
00:29:33 And I'm willing to give my life, if that be necessary,
00:29:38 to see that my country stays free,
00:29:42 white,
00:29:44 and American!
00:29:46 And American!
00:30:13 Hello, Mr. Eatsboy!
00:30:16 You can't get rid of that nigger!

00:30:58 Hey, look at that!
00:31:00 What is that?
00:31:01 I don't know!
00:31:02 Junior, what is it?
00:31:04 I don't know!
00:31:05 Come on, let's get out of here!
00:31:07 Let's get out of here, quick!
00:31:09 [tires screeching]
00:31:11 [tires screeching]
00:31:13 Take it easy, baby, you're not going anywhere!
00:31:15 What's the trouble?
00:31:16 No trouble! You look out for trouble!
00:31:17 No, look, no trouble, we own our way to the house.
00:31:19 We own our way to the house.
00:31:20 Please don't do it, we haven't done anything.
00:31:22 Who gives you the right to ride through Texas, nigga?
00:31:24 There's a highway to the house!
00:31:25 Yes, I know there is, but...
00:31:26 Well, if you know there is, how can you get on the street
00:31:28 getting all this stuff?
00:31:29 What's the matter with you folks? We haven't done anything!
00:31:30 You're dirtying up our streets!
00:31:31 Look at the monkeys in the back!
00:31:33 Junior, please!
00:31:35 Please!
00:31:37 Please!
00:31:39 Alright, I'm sorry, we're going.
00:31:46 That's what you say!
00:31:47 I figured you were lying, nigga!
00:31:49 I don't lie to nobody!
00:31:50 Talk back to me, nigga!
00:31:55 Come on, come on!
00:31:56 Come on, Junior, come on.
00:31:59 One move.
00:32:15 Why?
00:32:16 Alright, break it up.
00:32:20 Break it up, who's there?
00:32:22 I say, you miserable little food!
00:32:24 If the rest of you people don't want to spend this night in jail,
00:32:28 you get out of here, now!
00:32:29 In that car and get out of here as fast as you can.
00:32:31 Alright, alright, what's going on here?
00:32:36 Oh, nothing, Sheriff.
00:32:38 The good citizens was just having a little fun, that's all.
00:32:41 What kind of fun?
00:32:42 The best kind.
00:32:44 Attacking negroes.
00:32:45 He's lying, Sheriff, we didn't attack anybody!
00:32:48 Oh, I know.
00:32:49 There seems to be a difference of opinion here.
00:32:52 Opinion's got nothing to do with it, Sheriff.
00:32:54 The fact is, a family was terrorized on the streets of Caxton.
00:32:57 Hell, it was just a bunch of coons, Sheriff.
00:33:00 Who did this here terrorizing?
00:33:04 Do you want me to arrest everybody, Tom?
00:33:10 (laughter)
00:33:13 Alright, it's all over, let's go home.
00:33:17 Hi, Tom, how you making it, boy?
00:33:35 Hello, Vern.
00:33:36 You met the...
00:33:37 Yes, yes, I've had the pleasure.
00:33:39 How are you?
00:33:40 What do you want?
00:33:45 Nothing, this isn't the way of business.
00:33:47 You do run ads, don't you?
00:33:49 They meet our standards.
00:33:50 By God, Tom, you're still the crankiest man of a morning I ever did see.
00:33:55 Well, sir?
00:33:56 It doesn't meet our standards.
00:33:58 I'd suggest that...
00:33:59 I suggest you get the hell out of this office, Kramer.
00:34:02 No, no, it's alright, Vern.
00:34:04 Mr. McDangle's upset about what happened last night, he holds me responsible.
00:34:08 You are responsible.
00:34:09 I'm sorry you feel that way about it, sir.
00:34:12 Because you and I are fighting on the same side.
00:34:14 I'll meet you later, Vern.
00:34:17 He's taken in, has he?
00:34:22 Now look, Tom, Kramer may be young and he may be an outsider and all that,
00:34:28 but by damn, you gotta admit he's on the right track.
00:34:31 You heard his speech last night?
00:34:32 Yes, I heard it.
00:34:33 I saw what happened afterwards, too.
00:34:36 Well, it don't prove a thing. Probably that there Negro was uppity.
00:34:39 That Negro wasn't uppity.
00:34:41 He was just passing through town, which is his legal right.
00:34:44 Oh, now, come on, Tom, come on.
00:34:48 You're just mad 'cause it took somebody from out of town to show us how we've been falling down on our job.
00:34:53 Well, I was mad in the beginning, too.
00:34:55 But there's no two ways about it.
00:34:57 This here thing has gotta be stopped.
00:34:59 And it's gotta be stopped right now.
00:35:01 How?
00:35:02 By attacking Negroes in the streets?
00:35:04 If that's what it takes, yes.
00:35:06 Verne, do you know what you're saying?
00:35:11 Yes, I know what I'm saying, but I don't think you do.
00:35:15 I'm saying that we fought this thing fair and above board and it didn't get us anywhere.
00:35:19 Now we're gonna have to fight it their way.
00:35:21 There's nothing to fight anymore, Verne.
00:35:24 The law says we've gotta have an integration.
00:35:26 I believe in obeying the law.
00:35:29 Kramer apparently doesn't.
00:35:31 I don't like him.
00:35:33 I don't trust him.
00:35:35 And I'm certainly not gonna run his stinking ad.
00:35:38 Doggone.
00:35:41 Ain't you forgetting something, Tom?
00:35:43 What's that?
00:35:45 Well, I own the controlling stock in the messenger.
00:35:47 You're working for me.
00:35:50 That's the way it is?
00:35:53 That's the way it is.
00:35:56 Doggone it.

00:38:39 (knocking)
00:38:41 Who is it?
00:38:43 Adam Kramer, your neighbor.
00:38:45 What do you want?
00:38:48 A cup of coffee, a little conversation maybe.
00:38:51 Just a minute.
00:38:54 Hi.
00:38:59 Hello.
00:39:01 Sam said I should drop in on you.
00:39:03 Oh?
00:39:04 Said he was spending the night in Farragut.
00:39:06 Thought maybe you could use a little company.
00:39:08 Well, if not, I'll go on back to my room.
00:39:10 I think that'd be a pretty good idea.
00:39:13 Is that what you want me to do?
00:39:15 Yes.
00:39:17 Why?
00:39:19 Well, look, I'm getting ready for bed. I...
00:39:21 At 10.50? I thought you were a night owl.
00:39:23 Come on, please.
00:39:24 Oh, come on.
00:39:26 Sam would be very put up with you if he heard you weren't hospitable to a friend.
00:39:30 I don't consider you a friend, Mr. Kramer.
00:39:34 Unkind, definitely unkind.
00:39:36 Just want a little old cup of coffee.
00:39:38 Okay.
00:39:43 Why did you say that?
00:39:54 Say what?
00:39:56 That I wasn't a friend.
00:39:59 I don't know. Look, I...
00:40:02 I'm tired. It's hot. I...
00:40:04 I told you.
00:40:06 The way you act, you're not afraid of me, are you?
00:40:08 No.
00:40:12 Don't have to bite my head off.
00:40:14 How do you stand it, anyway?
00:40:22 I don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:24 Well, you know, this town.
00:40:26 I should think you'd get awfully lonely.
00:40:28 Especially with Sam leaving you half the time.
00:40:30 I...
00:40:32 Stand it just fine, Mr. Kramer.
00:40:36 You were born with that chip on your shoulder, and somebody put it there.
00:40:40 Look, if you don't like my personality, you don't have to subject yourself to it.
00:40:44 What are you after, anyway?
00:40:46 A cup of coffee.
00:40:48 Afterwards, you'll have to go.
00:40:53 You'll have to go.
00:41:21 Oh, thank you.
00:41:23 Mr. Kramer, I didn't know you were a...
00:41:26 religious man.
00:41:28 Yes, it meant it's dramatic.
00:41:30 So is a lynching.
00:41:32 That's old-fashioned.
00:41:35 Otherwise, you wouldn't mind?
00:41:37 Mrs. Griffin, that's a terrible thing to say.
00:41:40 These people like me.
00:41:43 I'm here to save lives, not to take them.
00:41:46 I'm the Empress of China.
00:41:49 I'm the Empress of China.
00:41:51 I know what you're doing here, but...
00:41:57 why?
00:41:58 Who can say? A great time's called for a great man.
00:42:01 You're a great man?
00:42:06 Not yet.
00:42:08 You don't want to talk politics, do you?
00:42:16 I've already told you all you need to know about me.
00:42:19 You despise me, but you're attracted to me, isn't that right?
00:42:23 Isn't it?
00:42:26 Isn't it?
00:42:28 If you don't mind, I'm going to take off my coat. It's getting awfully hot in here.
00:42:34 Aren't you hot?
00:42:39 I hope you know these bulbs are giving off a lot of heat.
00:42:44 Look at the difference.
00:42:46 See?
00:42:49 We're down five degrees, I'll bet.
00:42:53 You're not very comfortable, are you?
00:42:59 It does get lonely for you, doesn't it, Fyne?
00:43:06 I know it does. I feel that way myself a lot of the time.
00:43:11 I almost go crazy sometimes because there isn't anybody who feels things the way I do.
00:43:15 I think how wonderful it would be to meet a person like that and be with that person.
00:43:24 Not for long.
00:43:27 Just a little while.
00:43:29 Just a little while.
00:43:31 Adam, no.
00:43:32 Adam, please.
00:43:34 Please. Please, please, what?
00:43:36 You want me to leave? You want me to leave?
00:43:38 Adam!
00:43:39 You want me to leave?
00:43:41 You want it, you know you want it.
00:43:43 Well, that settles it.
00:43:57 We're taking Ella out of school tomorrow.
00:44:00 We're doing nothing of the kind.
00:44:04 Well, Tom, what's got into you?
00:44:07 I don't know what you're thinking anymore.
00:44:09 I'm not sure I do.
00:44:11 Ruth, tell me something.
00:44:14 How do you feel about this question?
00:44:16 Well, I'm not sure I know what you mean.
00:44:20 About integration.
00:44:22 Well, I think it's a terrible thing.
00:44:25 Why?
00:44:26 Why?
00:44:28 Because it just isn't right, that's why.
00:44:32 Tom, are you in favor of it?
00:44:39 Yes.
00:44:40 Well, why didn't you...
00:44:42 Because I didn't know.
00:44:44 I don't think I knew really till now.
00:44:47 One thing Adam Cramer's done for us,
00:44:51 he's made us face ourselves.
00:44:53 Well, what are you going to do?
00:44:56 I don't know.
00:44:58 I'm not sure.
00:45:03 I'm not sure of anything.
00:45:07 Except this is right.
00:45:09 And we've got to face up to it.
00:45:12 Come on, come on.
00:45:23 Yeah.
00:45:24 Come on, come on.
00:45:25 Yeah.
00:45:27 (glass shattering)
00:45:29 I...
00:45:53 I...
00:45:54 I...
00:45:55 I...
00:45:56 What did you pull him in for, Rudy?
00:46:05 He smarted off Adam and dared me to take him to jail.
00:46:08 Yeah, but you know he didn't have anything to do with that bombing.
00:46:12 Maybe you know.
00:46:13 I don't.
00:46:14 How are you, Vern?
00:46:20 I might as well tell you right off the bat I don't cotton to any of this.
00:46:23 I strung along with you because I figured you were smart,
00:46:25 but smart people don't end up here.
00:46:27 I'm not ending up here, Vern.
00:46:29 This is just the beginning.
00:46:31 Never underestimate the value of a jail sentence.
00:46:35 Remember Socrates, Lenin, Hitler.
00:46:39 The bail is $10,000.
00:46:42 What if I don't put up the money?
00:46:44 Forget it, Vern.
00:46:46 I don't want your money, yet.
00:46:48 Haven't I told you that?
00:46:52 Where are you going to get it?
00:46:54 Thank you, thank you very much.
00:47:13 I want to thank the Reverend Neeson, Mr. Carey, Mr. Dongen for what they've done for me.
00:47:18 Our friend Vern Shipman offered to get me out of jail.
00:47:21 I told him no.
00:47:22 I told him, "Looky here, the people will see to it."
00:47:28 Now listen, he's a good man, but he didn't believe me.
00:47:35 I want you to know I'm mighty glad to show him I was right.
00:47:40 He knows for sure now the people of Caxton won't stand still for no injustice.
00:47:45 Yeah!
00:47:46 What the sheriff thought was that I was responsible for the dynamite and nothing the bad.
00:47:56 That's why I couldn't hardly believe he was serious.
00:47:58 I said to him, "Sheriff, I said whoever planted that bomb, it wasn't nobody in the Patrick Henry Society.
00:48:06 We got brains enough to know that killing a nigger preacher and blowing up a church can do us nothing but harm.
00:48:13 Throwing a scare into the niggers is good, but we got to be very, very careful.
00:48:20 Right?
00:48:22 Yeah, that's right!
00:48:23 Now I ain't condemning anybody.
00:48:25 Whoever planted that bomb was doing what he thought was right.
00:48:30 But he was wrong.
00:48:34 I hope you all see that now and go on acting according to the orders of the society.
00:48:41 Well, I don't know anything about that.
00:48:43 But I know one thing.
00:48:45 Ain't gonna be one solitary nigger gonna have enough guts to step into our school now.
00:48:50 It's all over.
00:48:51 Hey!
00:48:52 [applause]
00:49:01 Hello, Adam.
00:49:18 Sam.
00:49:21 How are things?
00:49:22 Okay, I guess.
00:49:24 Good.
00:49:25 How did you do in Farragut?
00:49:28 Sell many... what is it? Pens?
00:49:30 Well, I'm glad to hear it.
00:49:33 Is there something you want to see me about, Sam?
00:49:37 I tell you what, I'm kind of pooped. I thought maybe...
00:49:39 Look, Adam, I know this ain't none of your business and I got no right bothering you with it,
00:49:42 but I got to talk to somebody. I just got to. I'll go crazy if I don't.
00:49:45 What is it, Sam? What's the matter?
00:49:46 She's gone.
00:49:49 Why? She's gone. Let me run out.
00:49:51 What happened?
00:49:53 I don't know.
00:49:54 I got back from Farragut about two o'clock.
00:49:57 I left a present for her.
00:49:59 I got up to the room, she was gone.
00:50:01 Just a note saying she'd love me but was no good for me. I should forget her.
00:50:04 Oh, I'm really very, very sorry.
00:50:07 Do you have any idea why she'd do a thing like that?
00:50:10 Yeah, I think maybe I can guess part of the reason.
00:50:13 Oh.
00:50:15 I never told anyone this, but...
00:50:17 but I consider you a friend, Adam.
00:50:19 Before I met Vi, she...
00:50:22 well, she knew a lot of men. It was like a disease with her.
00:50:25 Doctors got a name for her, but they can't cure it alone.
00:50:27 When I met Vi, I fell in love with her. I knew she was a good woman.
00:50:30 I thought maybe I could help her.
00:50:32 Five years we've been happy.
00:50:34 Now this...
00:50:36 I figure she got in some trouble.
00:50:39 What sort of trouble?
00:50:41 Man trouble.
00:50:42 Like with some fella come along, caught her a weak moment, she...
00:50:46 What do you think, Adam? You think that could be it?
00:50:48 Well, it's possible, I guess, but I...
00:50:52 I just can't bring myself to believe it if Mrs. Griffin, she doesn't seem the type, you know what I mean?
00:50:56 It was a man.
00:50:58 But who?
00:50:59 You!
00:51:01 Oh, Sam.
00:51:06 Don't bother thinking up a lot of lies. I know what happened.
00:51:09 This is an old hotel. The walls are thin. Mrs. Lambert heard you.
00:51:11 I wasn't going to deny it, Sam.
00:51:13 The reason I didn't tell you before was...
00:51:15 was because I didn't want to hurt you any more than you've been hurt already. Really, honest. That's the truth.
00:51:19 Blame me if you want to, but...
00:51:22 Sam, I'm going to level with you.
00:51:24 It was a lot my fault. Now, sure, I won't pretend that it wasn't.
00:51:27 I went to your room, just to say goodnight.
00:51:30 And we were talking, you know, just talking.
00:51:32 And I don't know, suddenly everything started to go wrong.
00:51:35 Can you understand?
00:51:36 I understand.
00:51:38 So I slept with her. Okay. I admit it.
00:51:41 But you've got to know this.
00:51:43 No matter how much you blame me, and hate me, and want to shoot me,
00:51:47 it wasn't all my fault.
00:51:50 And there's another thing.
00:51:51 Mrs. Griffin said I wasn't the first.
00:51:54 I mean, since you've been married, she's slept with plenty of others.
00:51:56 And she said she knew it didn't matter because you'd never catch on.
00:52:00 Sam, I'm forcing myself to tell you this. It's the truth.
00:52:03 Liar!
00:52:04 Sam, I'm telling you the truth, I'm not lying.
00:52:08 Sam, I'm telling you the truth, I'm not lying.
00:52:11 Oh, you missed your calling, boy.
00:52:15 You'd have made a fine pitchman.
00:52:17 You know just the right way to work on people's weak spots.
00:52:19 But you know something?
00:52:21 I'm going to find her, and I'm going to get her back.
00:52:23 And when I do, we'll be closer than ever.
00:52:25 So in a way, you've really done us a big favor, friend.
00:52:29 You know something?
00:52:39 We're in the same line, you and me.
00:52:41 We're both selling something.
00:52:43 But I've been at it longer. I can see where you're making mistakes.
00:52:46 And right now, those mistakes are beginning to pile up on you.
00:52:49 And in a little while, they're going to smother you.
00:52:51 Get out of here.
00:52:53 I've been studying your pitch. It's not bad. You've got technique.
00:52:56 But you know what's wrong?
00:52:58 You're too clever, Adam.
00:53:00 You've got no room in your head for intelligence.
00:53:02 Because if you were intelligent, you'd be able to see that you started something you can't control.
00:53:06 You think you're the boss now?
00:53:08 Wake up, boy. That mob's the boss.
00:53:10 What do you know, you big boob?
00:53:13 Did you tell them to blow up the church?
00:53:15 I'm sick of listening to your rave.
00:53:34 Now get out of here before I pull a trigger.
00:53:36 Oh, people are wonderful.
00:53:40 You couldn't pull that trigger if your life depended on it.
00:53:44 Because deep down inside, you're gutless, Adam.
00:53:47 You know you're gutless.
00:53:48 That's why you're doing this, to prove to yourself that you're not.
00:53:54 I'll give you five.
00:53:56 If you're not out of here by then, I'll pull the trigger.
00:54:00 One.
00:54:02 Two.
00:54:06 Three.
00:54:11 Four.
00:54:14 Five.
00:54:16 See what I mean, boy?
00:54:21 Of course, you never want to be too sure of anything, either.
00:54:24 Rule of the trade.
00:54:31 Get away from me.
00:54:36 Get away from me.
00:54:39 No, boy. I don't think I'll do that.
00:54:41 I think I'll stick around for a while.
00:54:43 You won't see me lightly, but I'll be here.
00:54:46 I always did like fireworks.
00:54:50 [♪♪♪]
00:54:59 [birds chirping]
00:55:16 [knocking]
00:55:19 Miss Green?
00:55:20 That's right.
00:55:21 My name is McDaniel.
00:55:23 I think we've met once. I'm the editor of the newspaper.
00:55:25 You come here to vote, mister?
00:55:27 Get on back of town. Put in the paper.
00:55:29 Us niggers give up. You want to kill any more of us.
00:55:31 Bob!
00:55:32 Mr. Green, I know you have no reason to trust me, and I have no right to expect you to.
00:55:37 But I'm on your side.
00:55:38 Yeah.
00:55:39 Please. Please believe me.
00:55:42 I understand how you feel.
00:55:44 I know it's hard.
00:55:45 And I can't promise you that nobody else will get hurt.
00:55:47 Maybe they will. I don't know.
00:55:49 But you mustn't give up now.
00:55:51 Your boy here and the other children have got to go to school this morning.
00:55:54 It means everything.
00:55:56 That's easy to say, but what have you got to lose, white man?
00:55:59 My job, my home, maybe my family.
00:56:03 Is that enough for you?
00:56:05 Joy, don't try to stop me.
00:56:09 Pop, you know he's right, and so do I.
00:56:11 We can't give up now.
00:56:14 We'd better hurry.
00:56:16 [dog barking]

00:57:11 This will be okay.
00:57:13 Thank you very much.
00:57:15 Come on.
00:57:17 [music]
00:57:40 McDaniel.
00:57:41 Yes?
00:57:42 You got anything to say?
00:57:43 About what?
00:57:44 You know what.
00:57:45 We've seen you, McDaniel, and we want an explanation.
00:57:48 Now we're waiting.
00:57:49 Please, get out of my way.
00:57:51 Hold it!
00:57:54 What do you want?
00:57:55 Like the man said, an explanation.
00:57:58 Yeah, you tell us, McDaniel.
00:58:00 How come you walked that bunch of black niggers to our white school?
00:58:03 I don't see anything I do as any business of yours.
00:58:06 We figured you was against all this.
00:58:08 When we seen you taking them jigs to school, we got kind of a surprise, see?
00:58:12 That's why we figure you ought to do some talking.
00:58:14 Yeah, what do you got to say for yourself now?
00:58:17 Which one of them niggers paid you off?
00:58:19 It ain't polite not to answer a civil question.
00:58:23 Ebner here wants to know who paid you to betray your people.
00:58:26 Yeah, let's teach him a lesson now.
00:58:28 Why don't you get 15 or 20 more people, Carrie?
00:58:37 Then you'll feel really safe.
00:58:39 Teach him, Bart!
00:58:40 You shut your mouth, nigger lover.
00:58:41 You're awful good with the questions. How are you with the answers?
00:58:44 Where were you when that preacher was killed, Carrie?
00:58:46 Shut up, or you're gonna get the same thing.
00:58:47 Where were you?
00:58:48 Let's teach him!
00:58:54 Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
00:58:58 I'm sorry, honey.
00:59:13 I guess I just wasn't cut out to be a hero.
00:59:17 Am I gonna lose the eye?
00:59:24 No.
00:59:25 No, don't go get them yet.
00:59:28 I wanna know.
00:59:31 You've already lost it, Tom.
00:59:38 They did a pretty good job, didn't they?
00:59:48 Father!
00:59:49 Father!
00:59:53 I'm all right.
00:59:56 It's all right.
00:59:58 You better go home, honey. It's late.
01:00:02 We mustn't upset your father.
01:00:08 He's gonna be all right.
01:00:10 I'll be long in a little while.
01:00:16 I'm sorry, honey.
01:00:17 Don't be.
01:00:20 I'm not.
01:00:22 Not in the least.
01:00:24 It's the best thing you've ever done, and I'm proud of you.
01:00:30 I wish I could tell you that I know why you did what you did,
01:00:35 why you feel the way you do, but I can't lie to you.
01:00:40 I'm sorry.
01:00:43 I can't lie to you, Tom.
01:00:45 I don't believe in integration.
01:00:49 But I believe in you.
01:00:53 And if this means so much to you, that you're willing to risk everything,
01:00:58 even your own life for it, then I know it must be right.
01:01:03 So I'm gonna try to understand.
01:01:07 I'm gonna try very hard, darling.
01:01:12 I only ask you to give me a little time.
01:01:15 I love you, honey.
01:01:18 Tell me it's not too late for us.
01:01:22 It isn't.
01:01:24 It never is.
01:01:27 Wait. Maybe you'd better get the doctor now.
01:01:40 Well, see, you know, that kind of injury, it always slows the place down.
01:01:44 Well, how is he?
01:01:46 I think I'm just about to...
01:01:48 Haven't you gone deaf to ask you a question?
01:01:51 Well?
01:01:53 He has four broken ribs and...
01:01:56 And what?
01:01:58 Internal injuries and he lost his eye.
01:02:02 He was lucky.
01:02:04 Lucky?
01:02:05 Yes, in my day, they'd have strung a man up for doing what he done.
01:02:08 And he'd have been on the end of the rope, too.
01:02:10 What's the matter with him, anyhow?
01:02:11 How am I gonna face my friends?
01:02:13 I've never been so embarrassed in my life.
01:02:15 Oh, shut your filthy, stinking mouth!
01:02:19 If you're interested in saving your father's life, you'd better listen and listen carefully.
01:02:31 I'm gonna have to say some things I don't want to say.
01:02:35 The men who beat up Mr. McDaniel this morning are desperate.
01:02:38 You understand? Desperate.
01:02:41 You saw what they did.
01:02:42 Now, the reason for that...
01:02:43 Listen to me.
01:02:44 Never mind the reason.
01:02:47 Just understand this.
01:02:50 They'll kill your father if we don't do something.
01:02:52 They'll go right into that hospital.
01:02:54 And there'll be so many of them.
01:02:56 The sheriff won't know what to do.
01:02:58 They'll blow his head off.
01:03:02 So listen carefully.
01:03:03 If you want to save your father's life,
01:03:09 this is what you're gonna have to do.
01:03:12 Man, the world is shaking today.
01:03:19 She wants us to study frogs, man, and I don't know.
01:03:22 Oh, you're just afraid to touch them, that's all.
01:03:29 (FOOTSTEPS)
01:03:30 I don't know about you, but I can't tell 'em apart.
01:03:37 Shut up.
01:03:38 (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
01:03:42 Excuse me. Are you Joy Green?
01:03:51 That's right.
01:03:52 Well, I'm Ella McDaniel, Tom McDaniel's daughter.
01:03:57 Oh, I heard about what happened yesterday.
01:03:59 I hope he's better. Is he?
01:04:01 Yes, he's a lot better.
01:04:04 I wish you'd thank him for us, miss.
01:04:06 He did a real fine thing.
01:04:07 He's a fine man.
01:04:09 I know.
01:04:12 Well, better get going.
01:04:14 The bell's about to ring.
01:04:16 Oh, wait a second, I...
01:04:19 I wonder if you'd do me a favor.
01:04:22 Sure, if I can.
01:04:24 Well, it isn't much.
01:04:27 Well, you see, I'm working down in the storage room, and I've got to get some things.
01:04:29 Well, I could use a little help.
01:04:31 Well, I'll have to ask Miss St. Law. Wait right here.
01:04:33 Oh, I spoke to her.
01:04:35 Oh, she doesn't mind. It'll just take a few minutes.
01:04:37 I just want you to kind of help me with some things.
01:04:39 Well, okay.
01:04:42 Well, come on.
01:04:44 (BELL RINGING)
01:04:48 Let's go.
01:04:49 Come on.
01:04:55 Come on.
01:04:56 Um, wait here a second until I put the other light on.
01:04:59 Okay.
01:05:01 All right.
01:05:14 Over here.
01:05:21 Over there.
01:05:22 Up here.
01:05:29 It's these two boxes I want.
01:05:30 All right.
01:05:44 Okay.
01:05:50 Miss McDaniel?
01:05:51 Miss McDaniel?
01:05:57 (SCREAMING)
01:05:58 (SCREAMING)
01:06:01 (LAUGHING)
01:06:03 He damn does it.
01:06:04 What's the matter with John? Want to get hit and beat him?
01:06:06 What happened?
01:06:10 What happened?
01:06:12 Danny, we don't know what you're talking about. Tell us. What happened?
01:06:14 Nigga, tried to rape a white girl.
01:06:16 What's that?
01:06:17 Nigga, you know the one they call Joe Green?
01:06:19 Yeah, 20 minutes ago.
01:06:20 Governor McDaniel, you know her. The fellow who's in the hospital's daughter.
01:06:22 I knew it would happen.
01:06:24 Who is that fellow?
01:06:26 Principal's office. They got him locked up there.
01:06:28 Well, this is precisely what we've been afraid of, isn't it?
01:06:31 Are we going to do something about it?
01:06:33 Yeah, right.
01:06:35 All right, go and get everybody in the society you can find.
01:06:37 Right now.
01:06:39 Tell them to meet here as quickly as they can.
01:06:40 Right now.
01:06:42 Tell them what happened at the school and they'll come.
01:06:44 They'll come.
01:06:47 Danny.
01:06:49 You go on back. Round up as many kids as you can.
01:06:51 Lock her head, guarantee.
01:06:53 This better work.
01:06:58 It will.
01:06:59 Keep your mouth shut if you don't start thinking on your own anymore.
01:07:02 That McDaniel's gonna talk. I know it.
01:07:05 Probably so, after what you did to him, you idiot.
01:07:07 What are you gonna do?
01:07:09 End this thing.
01:07:11 How?
01:07:12 This is the last question I want to hear from you.
01:07:16 From now on I'll do all the thinking, understood?
01:07:18 Understood?
01:07:19 Now get out of here and get up some people fast.
01:07:21 Hello, Vern?
01:07:29 Adam.
01:07:31 I've got some news for you.
01:07:34 Tom Layala, tell us once again exactly what happened.
01:07:40 I know it's hard for you to talk, but this is a very serious charge you've made.
01:07:45 We've got to get our facts straight.
01:07:46 You understand that, don't you?
01:07:48 Ella, please.
01:07:50 I told you.
01:07:51 Ella, why did you want those pads at that particular time?
01:07:55 Because we were out.
01:07:57 I understand that, but why didn't you have Miss Siegfried get one of the boys to do it for you?
01:08:01 I don't know.
01:08:02 I'd like to be excused now if you don't mind.
01:08:05 Very well, Miss Siegfried, you're excused.
01:08:09 Wait a minute.
01:08:14 Ella, is there any more you want to tell us?
01:08:16 All right, you can go.
01:08:19 I called your house, but your mother isn't there.
01:08:22 You want me to call her at the hospital?
01:08:23 Perhaps in that case Miss Siegfried will drive you home.
01:08:27 I don't believe it.
01:08:34 I don't believe any part of it, do you?
01:08:36 I don't know what to think.
01:08:38 It could have been any other girl.
01:08:40 I'd say she was lying.
01:08:42 Tom McDaniel's daughter?
01:08:43 Oh, I don't care whose daughter.
01:08:45 We both know Joey Green is too smart to do anything so stupid.
01:08:49 Ella is lying.
01:08:51 Well, it doesn't much matter now.
01:08:53 It's her story.
01:08:54 Convince any jury.
01:08:55 Humble boy said he saw Green sneak down after her.
01:08:58 I'm afraid we're beaten.
01:09:00 (crowd noise)
01:09:12 Hello, give me the sheriff.
01:09:13 Right away.
01:09:14 Go get Joey Green.
01:09:16 Hello, Rudy.
01:09:18 Rudy, this is Harley Patton.
01:09:19 Now listen carefully.
01:09:20 I want you to get as many men together as you can to get over to the school right away.
01:09:23 We've got trouble with one of the students.
01:09:25 Yes, Rudy, one of the colored students.
01:09:27 Hurry!
01:09:29 Rudy, we've got a mob outside.
01:09:31 Lock the door.
01:09:38 And don't be frightened.
01:09:40 I just talked to Sheriff Parkhouse.
01:09:41 He'll be here in a minute.
01:09:42 There's nothing to worry about.
01:09:43 I didn't do it, Mr. Patton.
01:09:45 I know you didn't, Joey.
01:09:47 Patton!
01:09:48 Give us him, Patton!
01:09:50 What do you want?
01:09:53 You know what we want!
01:09:55 Yeah!
01:09:56 (crowd noise)
01:09:58 We want that nigger that raped a wife down at the school!
01:10:00 Bring that nigger to me!
01:10:02 Come on!
01:10:04 Bring him down here!
01:10:05 Bring him down here!
01:10:06 (crowd noise)
01:10:08 Exactly five minutes.
01:10:13 If that nigger ain't out here by then, we're coming in to get him.
01:10:15 Ain't that right?
01:10:18 (crowd noise)
01:10:25 Joey, how would you explain it?
01:10:28 I think somebody must have put her up to it.
01:10:30 It's the only thing I can think of.
01:10:32 Adam Kramer.
01:10:34 You're on our side, aren't you, Mr. Patton?
01:10:39 Yes, Joey, I am.
01:10:42 Only you figure we whip now.
01:10:45 One minute, Patton!
01:10:47 Remember, no violence.
01:10:49 We gave Sheriff Parkhouse our promise to bring him to jail.
01:10:53 We're not a mob, we're a citizens committee.
01:10:55 (silence)
01:11:03 You tell him, Cary.
01:11:04 Remember, no violence.
01:11:11 There isn't any need for it.
01:11:14 Don't worry, they'll see what the cause is, see how we take care of it.
01:11:18 Come on, let's go get that nigger!
01:11:20 (crowd noise)
01:11:23 I wouldn't bother with that, Mr. Patton.
01:11:25 I think Sheriff Parkhouse is going to be a little late.
01:11:27 Joey, you come with me, my car's in the back, I'll drive you to Paragate.
01:11:30 No, that's what they want.
01:11:32 Joey.
01:11:35 Joey!
01:11:39 (crowd noise)
01:11:41 I'll never walk again, Joey.
01:11:43 I'll never walk again.
01:11:46 (music)
01:12:01 Did you people want to talk to me?
01:12:03 You're Joseph Green?
01:12:10 That's right.
01:12:12 You admit you tried to rape one of our white girls today?
01:12:16 No, I don't.
01:12:17 What do you mean, no you don't?
01:12:19 I mean I didn't try to rape anyone.
01:12:22 You're lying, nigger!
01:12:24 Now you be still.
01:12:25 We're going to listen to what this boy has to say for himself.
01:12:29 So, you claim you're innocent, is that right?
01:12:32 That's right.
01:12:34 Didn't anybody ever teach you to address a white man as sir?
01:12:38 (crowd noise)
01:12:43 Now let that be your first lesson.
01:12:45 Got blood on your mouth, boy.
01:12:49 Wipe it off.
01:12:51 Now what do you say?
01:12:53 Thank you.
01:12:57 Thank you what?
01:12:58 Thank you, sir.
01:13:01 Now I'm going to ask you just one more time, boy.
01:13:11 And I want you to think before you answer.
01:13:14 You think real hard.
01:13:16 Because if you tell us the truth, you got nothing to be afraid of.
01:13:20 But if you lied to us,
01:13:22 you're going to be in more trouble than you ever dreamed of.
01:13:28 Were you in that basement?
01:13:36 I was in the basement.
01:13:38 With a white girl?
01:13:40 Yes, sir.
01:13:41 I think we're going to take him to jail now.
01:13:44 Oh.
01:13:48 You were alone with a white girl in the basement of the school.
01:13:54 But you didn't try to do anything.
01:13:57 Is that what you're saying?
01:13:59 Is that what you expect us to believe, nigger?
01:14:02 Well, spit it out!
01:14:04 (crowd noise)
01:14:09 Here comes the nigger, let him know.
01:14:11 There's the Palestine Indian.
01:14:12 (crowd noise)
01:14:15 Only a coward would hit a defenseless boy.
01:14:20 Is that what you're calling me, Patton?
01:14:22 Yes, that's exactly what I'm calling you.
01:14:24 You're a miserable, yellow coward, Mr. Shipman.
01:14:27 Just like every cheap bully in the world.
01:14:30 And that goes for you too, Mr. Adam Kramer.
01:14:32 For every one of you here.
01:14:34 Now do I make myself perfectly clear?
01:14:38 (crowd noise)
01:14:41 Remain in my office until the Paragon police arrive.
01:14:46 If you want to avoid a jail sentence, I would advise all of you people to leave at once.
01:14:50 (crowd noise)
01:14:53 You admit it?
01:14:57 That's too bad, you give us no choice.
01:15:01 (crowd noise)
01:15:06 Hey, what do you think you're going at, nigger?
01:15:08 (crowd noise)
01:15:11 (crowd noise)
01:15:16 Watch it, nigger man!
01:15:24 (music)
01:15:46 (crowd noise)
01:15:57 (crowd noise)
01:16:26 (crowd noise)
01:16:31 Hold on there a minute.
01:16:33 Hello, Adam.
01:16:39 Ella.
01:16:42 Like I said, you never want to be too sure of anything.
01:16:45 Who are you?
01:16:46 The name is Griffin, Sam Griffin.
01:16:48 Well, what do you want?
01:16:50 Nothing, no.
01:16:51 Then move aside.
01:16:55 We got important business to attend to.
01:16:57 What kind of business, Mr. Shipman?
01:16:59 You folks aiming to do something to this boy?
01:17:01 Look, Griffin, I don't know who you think you are, and I don't know why you brought this girl here.
01:17:05 Because if you do, I think maybe there's something you ought to hear.
01:17:07 It just might affect this business you're on.
01:17:09 Tell him, Miss McDaniel.
01:17:12 Tell him what you told me.
01:17:13 It was a lie.
01:17:16 What's that? What are you talking about?
01:17:17 It was a lie.
01:17:19 Everything.
01:17:21 Everything I said about Joey.
01:17:22 All of it.
01:17:24 What the devil do you mean?
01:17:25 She means her father told her to cover up for the nigger, and that's what she's doing.
01:17:28 Hell, yes, that's it.
01:17:29 We're wasting time.
01:17:30 Girl, you listen here to me.
01:17:33 Why would a girl go ahead and tell a story like that if it wasn't the truth?
01:17:37 The fact is she was put up to it by our friend, Mr. Kramer, here.
01:17:40 Ain't that right, Adam?
01:17:42 And this guy is crazy.
01:17:43 Shut up!
01:17:44 You go on.
01:17:45 Your boy was getting desperate, Mr. Shipman.
01:17:47 He was on the verge of losing everything he'd built up.
01:17:49 So he threatened the girl.
01:17:50 Told her he'd kill her father.
01:17:51 Vern, don't listen to him.
01:17:53 This man is crazy, I tell you.
01:17:54 Is that right, girl?
01:17:56 He promised me there wouldn't be any trouble.
01:17:59 He said nothing would happen to the boy except he might be expelled.
01:18:03 I'm sorry.
01:18:05 I'm so sorry.
01:18:07 I didn't mean for this to happen.
01:18:09 All right, you go on back to the car.
01:18:11 I'll be all right.
01:18:12 Ella.
01:18:18 Ella.
01:18:19 Hold up.
01:18:25 [Ambient sounds]
01:18:54 Right now you good people are probably telling yourselves
01:18:57 you were going to take this boy down to jail and see a little justice done.
01:19:00 But that ain't the truth.
01:19:01 You were going to kill this boy.
01:19:03 You know it and I know it.
01:19:04 You know it all the rest of your lives.
01:19:06 And you.
01:19:10 You're thinking everything would have been just fine
01:19:12 if you and me hadn't had our little personal difficulties.
01:19:14 That ain't the truth either.
01:19:16 You began losing your grip on these people the second you got it.
01:19:19 Because nobody, nobody can have the kind of power you thought you had, Mr. Kramer.
01:19:24 Lies.
01:19:25 Lies!
01:19:29 I swear to God this man's lying to you.
01:19:32 Are you all crazy?
01:19:44 Tell him the truth. Come on, tell him the truth.
01:19:51 What about your Jew wife? Maybe they like to hear about that, eh?
01:19:54 Tell him about the nigger woman you kissed in the mouth. You did?
01:19:59 I got proof.
01:20:00 Proof, you hear me? You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:03 Griffin, you don't think for a minute you're fooling these people, do you?
01:20:12 Because if you do, you're wrong.
01:20:14 They're too smart for you and your filth.
01:20:16 Believe me, I know them. I know they're too smart.
01:20:20 They're with me, Griffin.
01:20:21 They're with me, Griffin. With me!
01:20:24 They'll laugh at you because you're nothing. Nothing!
01:20:29 Folks, they think they've got us scared. But they haven't.
01:20:37 We aren't gonna give up now. Not now.
01:20:41 No, sir. Not ever.
01:20:43 You hear that, Griffin?
01:20:45 Patton, you hear what I'm saying?
01:20:48 You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:50 Burns, you talk to them. They'll listen to you, Burns.
01:20:55 Say, Burns, I'm meeting tonight at the Pal's Cafe, 7.30.
01:21:01 Patton, you and your nigger better listen to this.
01:21:07 We're gonna show you you can't stop justice and right no matter what you do.
01:21:11 This is just the beginning. Only the beginning!
01:21:16 Adam Kramer.
01:21:17 Adam Kramer.
01:21:19 Ow!
01:21:20 Ow!
01:21:21 [Birds chirping]
01:21:24 [Birds chirping]
01:21:26 [Birds chirping]
01:21:53 Boy...
01:21:54 You're gonna get grass stains all over those trousers you don't get up.
01:21:59 Come on.
01:22:02 That's better.
01:22:05 I figure your work in this town's about over.
01:22:09 If you hurry, you can catch the bus to Farragut. They got trains there.
01:22:12 If you had a little light on traveling money, I'd be proud to...
01:22:15 You're sure now?
01:22:17 Oh, I almost forgot.
01:22:21 These belong to you.
01:22:22 I wouldn't want to steal from you, boy.
01:22:27 I wouldn't want to steal from you, boy.
