Troy, can stop lying.
It's not a lie, I deny it had the watermelon that size.
"That watermelon, Mr. Rand?"
I almost fell out laughing.
"That watermelon, Mr. Rand?" With a giant watermelon there.
-What Mr. Rand said. -Anything.
He thought that if he did not know who was holding the watermelon
I was not going to talk any sense.
Trying to hide a huge watermelon in the coat.
All afraid of white see him taking it home.
I'm like you, I have no time for these people.
Why he got angry
to see the union guy talking to Mr. Rand?
He came to me:
"In lay off because of Maxson."
I said: "Do not come to me with these."
He stepped away from calling you a "troublemaker."
-What Mr. Rand said. -Anything.
Just to talk to the Commissioner next Friday.
I called there to see him.
As long as it has the complaint filed, cannot fire you.
That's what one of them said. -Don't worry about it.
They're going to fire me, just because I asked?
That's all I did. I went to Mr. Rand and asked
why only white people drive and the coloured collect.
What's the problem? I don't count?
They think only white people have the good sense to drive?
You don't need a degree. Any one drives.
Why only white drive and the coloured collect?
He said: "talk to the Union".
So, that's what I did. Now making up lies.
Told the Brownie that if they ask, just tell the truth.
They're just blaming you because you opened a complaint.
The Brownie doesn't fit very well, worrying for nothing.
I just wanted to change the job description,
give a chance to all enquiries.
The Brownie doesn't see it, doesn't fit very well.
How did he make out that girl
What is there in Taylor's? That of Alberta.
-Who? -Well ...
Just like us, turns as you can.
Is same?
I think you do a little better than I.
And I can't tell ya what I ready.
Deny, I know you.
If you had come close to her,
20 minutes later I'd be looking for someone to tell
and I would be the first person you tell.
Don't say anything ...
I've seen you looking at her.
I look at all. Look doesn't mean anything.
Nobody tells you that Troy Maxson didn't look for them.
Did more than just look. Bought drink for her.
I bought. One for you, too.
What does that mean? I'm just being polite.
A drink is being polite.
Buy two or three, is be watching.
Since you know me, you've seen me running behind?
Of course Yes! Forgot you long?
I mean, after I married Rose.
After she married, don't.
That's true. This I agree.
So okay. Case closed.
I saw you walking near the House of Alberta.
It was to be in Taylor's, what were you doing there?
Why are you watching me? Don't watch you.
See you there more and more.
You can see me in a lot of place, doesn't mean anything.
Incidentally, where did she come from? Came out of nowhere.
Tallahassee. Just looking at it, you can see that came from Florida.
The women there are very healthy.
Grew from the soil.
Has a bit of India in it.
Most of Florida has traces of India.
I don't know how to be India, but it sure is pretty healthy.
She uses some pantyhose.
Legs and hips as large as the Mississippi River.
The legs are useless, just away.
But the hips cushion the ride!
Troy, you're crazy!
It's true! It's like having fun with Goodyears.
What are you two talking about?
Why care about what we say?
Is guy talk.
Who says I care? Bono, stay for dinner?
No, thank you, Rose. Lucille cooked pig's feet.
Pig's feet? Hell, I'm going to go home with you!
I even sleep there, if you have pigs ' feet.
Is there anything better than pig's feet, Rose?
I'm cooking chicken with Collard Greens, butter beans.
Then come back and let us finish our conversation of man.
Talk to you later.
And you know what kind of conversation is.
-Come in and get ready ...-Troy, stop!
Woman, come here.
Look it, Bono.
When I met this woman,
I went out and said:
"Tie my little horse, saddle my horse,
somewhere there's a woman to me. "
I looked here, there, saw the Rose and I took it.
Attached to me and said ...
I'm going to tell the truth.
I attached and said:
"Honey, I don't want to get married.
I just want to be your man. "
Hence the Rose said ... Tell me what you told me, Rose.
He said that if he were not to marry
so I got out of the way for her husband to find me.
That's what she told me. "Deny, right in front of me,
blocking the view, get out of the way for me to find a husband. "
I thought for two or three days.
Two or three days. Back on the same night.
I'm back Yes, and said:
"All right, dear, but I'm going to buy a rooster
to leave the yard, and when he sees a stranger,
will flap its wings and sing ".
You see, Bono. The front door I watch,
What worries me is the back door.
Troy, don't talk like that. You're full of lies.
Only when we got married, or buy the rooster.
We didn't have a backyard.
I know what it's like. I lived on Logan Street and Lucille.
We had two rooms, with bathroom outside.
Didn't bother me being out there,
but when passed that wind during the winter, then Yes!
To this day I wonder why I was there for 6 years.
But I didn't know you could improve.
I thought you only had white bathroom in the House.
Many still don't think they can improve.
It's something you learn. Many shop at Bella's.
It's not a problem. There's fresh food.
It's not a question of fresh food. It's a matter of how much.
She charges 10 cents more than in A & P.
The A & P never did anything for me. Spent where they treat me well.
If it is in Bella's, ask for a loaf of bread and only pay on Friday, she gives me.
What's the point, when I have money,
to spend elsewhere, and ignore who helped me?
It's not in the Bible. -Don't come with the Bible.
Why buy from somebody who charges more?
You buy where you want, I buy who helps me.
I don't think it's right to charge more.
I have to go, but Lucille fight with me.
Where are you, deny it? We didn't finish the bottle finish.
I even would end, if you loose it.
The only good thing to say of A & P 's
I'm happy that Cory got a job there.
Help with uniform expenses.
Gabe moved out and things are tightening.
Did he get the job, will start taking care of yourself.
Cory was recruited by a college football team.
I told him about it.
The white will never let him get near the ball.
I told you the first time you came to talk.
Now tell me that he was even more.
He should be drafted in auto repair
or a way to make money.
He doesn't want to make money with football.
It's just something that guys do.
Send a recruiter to talk to you.
He will tell you, is not to make money.
It's an honor to be recruited.
Won't get you anywhere. Even Bono can tell you.
If it's anything like you in sports, he will do well.
Only two men played baseball better than you.
Babe Ruth and Josh Gibson.
The only ones who did more home runs than you.
And what does that give me? I don't have a pot to piss in,
not even a window to play piss off.
Times have changed since I played.
It was before the war. Times have changed a lot.
-Changed how? -A lot of color play now.
-Baseball and football. -You're right, Rose.
Times have changed, Troy. You just arrived too soon.
Never was it "too soon".
That man, for example.
The one who played right field the Yankees,
Know who is Bono. That ...
-Selkirk? Yes, Selkirk.
The average hit him was 269, understand?
.269. What sense does it?
Mine was. 432, with 37 home runs,
He with. 269 and playing right field of the Yankees!
I saw Josh Gibson's daughter last.
Walking around with skinned shoes on his feet.
I bet the daughter of Selkirk's shoes not skinned.
Today there are a number of color playing baseball,
Jackie Robinson was the first. We were waiting for him.
I've seen some 100 for no brother playing better than Jackie Robinson.
I've seen times where Jackie Robinson not entered!
Jackie Robinson ... He was nobody.
What I mean is that if you play well, they should let you play.
No matter the color I'm not "too soon".
If you play well, they should let you play.
Will die from drinking. You don't have to drink that much.
Death is nothing. I've seen her.
Already had a fight with her. Don't talk to me about her.
Death is nothing more than a fastball on the corner,
and you know what to do with this.
Say, Bono. I'm lying?
When comes a fastball, waist,
at the outer edge,
where you can shove the bat hard,
and my God, can give goodbye. I'm lying?
Is telling the truth. I've seen you doing it.
If I'm lying, are 130 metres.
That's what death is for me:
a fastball on the outside corner.
I don't know why you want to start talking about death.
No problem, it's part of life.
Everyone dies. I, you, Bono. We're all going to die.
But no, you don't like to talk about it.
It was you who mentioned, we were talking about baseball!
Came talking I'm going to die from drinking. It's not, Bono?
You know I drink only one night a week.
Friday night, and drink without ever crossing the line.
Then I don't even touch, let go of.
No need to worry about I drink myself to death.
Because death doesn't worry me.
I've seen and fought with her.
Look, Bono.
One day I lifted his head and death marching towards me.
Like soldiers on a parade. The army of death.
Marched right in my direction. It was mid-July, 1941.
It was very cold, as in a great winter.
It looked as if death itself stretched and tapped my shoulder.
She touched me as I touch you now.
I was cold as ice, death staring at me.
-Troy, to talk ...-"what do you want, Ms. Death?"
"After me?" "He sent his army to pick me up?"
I looked her straight in the eye. I wasn't afraid of anything.
I was ready to fight, just like I am now.
It's in the Bible: "be sober, watch".
That's why I never get drunk. Have to watch ...
Troy was hospitalized at Mercy Hospital, reminiscent of pneumonia?
With high fever, babbling.
And death there, staring at me, with that Scythe in hand.
Finally, she says: "you want to stay another year."
It wasn't like that.
"Do you want to continue another year?"
I said: "Keep the hell! Let's settle this now. "
She almost fell backwards.
So, all the cold passed.
I leaned down, picked up the sickle,
played as far away as possible, and we both started the fight.
Fight over ... 1, will climb 6.
Three days and three nights.
I don't know where I got the strength,
but every time they tried to beat me,
I sought deep inside myself
and found the strength to win.
Each time he's in a different way.
Arise several different things.
I'm not making it up, woman. The facts are of the happened.
I fought for 3 days and 3 nights and left alive to tell.
Okay, so ... After the third night,
in SAP so much I could hardly move.
The Death arose, with his robe.
Was white, with a hood.
He straightened the robe and went looking for the scythe.
"I will return". It was going well.
"I will be back ..."
I said: "Oh yes? So will have to catch up with me. "
I wasn't beast, did not want to die. You don't mess with that.
I know one day she catches me, to join the army.
But while continue strong and see it coming,
While remain vigilant,
She's going to have to fight to get to me.
I don't give up easy.
See well. If you're going to keep your watch,
leave the bottle to me.
I shouldn't have told you this part.
Troy is talking about everything,
but half the time I don't even know what he's talking about.
Bono knows me better. -For sure.
I know you have a bit of Uncle Remus in his blood.
Has more stories than the Devil's sinners.
I've seen this too. I spoke with the devil.
Hi, dad.
So this "Hi, Daddy"?
How are you, Rose.
Mr. Bono, how are you?
Hi, Lyons. How are you?
Should be fine, I didn't even see him last week.
Leave your son alone, whenever he comes you start ...
I'm not bothering him. Here, drink. We understand each other.
Know why he comes to see me and he knows that I know.
Father, I just stopped by to say hello, check.
Not passed yesterday.
Dine with us, Lyons? I have chicken in the oven.
No, Rose, thank you. I was just in the neighborhood, I decided to stop.
Was around there spoke the truth.
Just because it's my payday.
Now that you mention it, give me ten dollars.
Who would have thought!
I die, I'm going to hell
and blackjack game with the devil before I give you ten dollars.
That's what I want to know, when he saw the devil.
Did you see the devil? You're too much, dad.
I saw and talked to him too. -No.
I never had anything to do with the devil.
Everything that you don't understand, I call the devil.
Will hearing, Bono. I went to Hertzberger buy furniture.
"Three rooms for 298." That's what it said on the radio.
"Three rooms for 298." There was even a little music.
I get there, and the guy tells me that I can't open credit.
Work every day and I can't open credit.
What to do? My House is empty, with old furniture.
Cory's no bed, sleeps in a pile of rags on the floor.
Work every day and I can't open credit.
Come back here, ask Rose, braver than the dog.
There's a knock on the door. I live here for only 3 days.
Who know I live here?
Open the door ... The devil is there.
Rihanna, well groomed. With a Clipboard in hand.
I don't need to say anything, he says:
"I know you need furniture and cannot credit."
I almost fell on the floor.
"I give all the credit you want, but you have to pay interest."
I said: "give Me three rooms and covers what you want."
The next day comes the truck unloads the 3 rooms,
and the driver gives me a book.
Said: "every day 1, get $10 at this address
and all will be well. "
"If you fail to pay, the devil will come back and cause hell."
It was 15 years ago, and even today,
on day 1 of every month, I send my $10.
Promptly, ask Rose.
-Is lying. -I never saw him.
Now tell me: who else if not the devil?
And I haven't sold my soul or something.
I wouldn't do that to the devil. But I have my furniture.
And I send my $10 on time.
How long has sent $10?
-Fifteen years. -Just pay?!
How much you charged?
I've just paid, paid some 10 times already.
-I'm just afraid to stop. -Is lying.
We bought the furniture of Mr. Glickman
and don't pay anything from $10.
Woman, Bono knows that I'm not a sucker.
I was just going to tell you that I know a bridge for sale.
I tell you one thing: it doesn't matter if it was the devil.
Even if he gives credit. But someone has to.
But it shouldn't matter. He says he made a deal with the devil,
will have to answer to God. He that will judge you.
Father, hear me out. Give me $10. I give it back.
Bonnie got a job at the hospital.
What I told you, Bono? I only see that deny
When he wants something. I only see him like this.
Father, Mr. Bono doesn't want to hear it.
Give me $10. I said, Bonnie got a job.
So Bonnie got a job? " I don't care.
Asks her to $10 as she works.
Bonnie got a job "...
Why don't you work?
Dad, you know I don't think decent job.
Where can I find one? You know that I can't find.
I told you I know people.
You can work in Dustman. I told you that.
You said the last time he came asking.
I don't want to load garbage from anyone.
I'm not going to hit the point of anyone.
What's the matter, too good to load garbage?
Where do you suppose came the $10?
I carry waste from other
to give money to you, lazy?
Is lazy and wonders what I have that you don't have.
-That Bonnie's hospital? -In the laundry room of the Passavant.
I'm not giving you anything. If I give you $10,
like beans the rest of the week.
Here you're not going to get $10.
You don't have to eat beans, says that ...
I have no money left!
Gabe moved, pays the rent for Mrs. Pearl,
things got tight.
I can't give you money.
I'm not asking for a gift, it's a loan.
I know it's $10. -I do.
Do you know why? Don't gamble my money away.
Want to live the easy life, music, stay in the clubs,
Learn how to take care of himself.
Never see me asking something to anybody.
I've been needing. -We're different.
I learned from my mistakes and learned how to fix them.
Expects to receive without giving in return. Life doesn't owe you anything.
You owe it to yourself. Ask Bono, he says.
Has its way of dealing with the world, I have mine.
The music is what matters.
I can see no matter how you're going to eat,
where your next money. Told the truth.
I know I have to eat, but also need to live.
I need something to make me get out of bed.
That will make me feel part of the world. I don't bother nobody.
I'm always with my music, it's the only way I know how to live.
Without it, I wouldn't even know what to do.
I'm not here to criticize you or how you live.
I just came by asking for $10.
I didn't come to hear about how I live.
Your mother did a great job raising you.
You can't change me, father. I have 34 years.
If you wanted to move, you were there when I grew up.
I came to visit you.
I'm asking $10, and you want to talk about how I was raised.
You have no idea how I was raised.
Give $10 to the boy, Troy.
What are you looking at me?
You know I don't have any money, you know what to do with him.
Give $10, if you want it to receive.
I give, as soon as you release the money.
Here you are.
76 dollars and twenty-two cents.
Saw it, Bono? I won't see a penny.
Stop lying. Here, Lyons.
Thank You, Rose.
I gotta go, see you later.
Wait a minute. Say "Thank You, Rose
but don't look at where the money came from?
See, Bono? I know it came from you, father.
Thanks, I will pay back. -Lying again.
When you pay those $10, must me more $30.
Later, Mr. Bono. Take care, Lyons.
Thank you, father. We will see each other again.
I don't know why he
can't find a decent job and takes care of his wife.
He will be fine, Troy. The boy is still young.
-The "kid" has 34 years. Let's not start.
Gotta go, Lucille is waiting for me.
See that woman, Bono?
Love this woman.
I love her so much it hurts.
I love her so much that if you run out of ways to love her.
So I need to get back to basics.
Don't come knocking here Monday morning.
I'm going to be working hard. -Troy, stop!
I will not listen to you, Rose. It's the booze talking.
Bye, Troy. See you Monday.
Don't come knocking here deny.
I told you what I'm going to be doing!
Come back next Tuesday!
Jesus be a fence
on my back, every day.
Good morning.
Ready for breakfast? I could make something
as soon as I finish hanging the clothes.
I put the coffee to do, no problem.
I'm just going to have a little of that here.
Hit the 651 yesterday again.
Second time this month, Ms. Pearl won a dollar.
It seems that those who least need to always give luck.
-The poor never win. -Numbers do not distinguish.
I don't know why you and Lyons play.
It's something to do.
You're just throwing money away.
You know that I'm not exaggerating. Only $0.05 there, $0.05 here.
Are $0.10 thrown away.
Sometimes I win.
And when I win, comes in handy. I never hear you complaining.
Not complaining, I'm just saying it's silly.
Trying to guess which one of 600 numbers will come out.
If all these "for no brother" ...
These "black" gave me the money a week,
just a week, I'd be Rico.
Saying it's crap
won't stop that play, that's for sure.
In addition, sometimes you do well.
Look at the restaurant that the Pope bought with the numbers.
I can't stand for no brother so.
He was barely $0.20 to live,
I was with the worn-out shoes, asking for money for cigarettes.
And then you're lucky.
-Hit the numbers and ...-Troy, I already know all this.
At least not wasted.
I've seen some for no brother spending $2000 in four days!
But he built the restaurant, got it right,
Hence I wouldn't let anyone in.
If a black man entered, was not answered.
I saw a white man entering there one day asked a stew.
Pope put all the meat for him.
It was a bowl full of meat.
If a black man is, receives only potatoes and carrots.
"Play sometimes does well." You picked the wrong example.
Only made him be more silly than it was before.
Troy ...
You need to stop worrying about what happened at work.
I'm not worried.
Just called me in the Commissioner's Office,
and everyone was worried about me their resignation,
I'm not worried about me their resignation.
Don't worry about it.
Where's Cory? At home?
-Cory! He left.
Left, is it? He left
because you know that I want you to work on that fence.
I know how he is afraid of work.
Had to go practice football.
The coach wanted a little more training before the season.
Here his training,
run away from here before.
Troy, what's your problem today? Nothing is right for you.
Go back to bed and get up the other side.
Why something has to be wrong with me?
Have something to say about everything.
First the numbers, after the restaurant.
Now is Cory. What's next?
See if the climate is acceptable to you.
Or will complain that it can't be done about with those clothes?
Hit the nail on the head.
You know like the back of his hand.
Come on, you do more coffee.
Perhaps this will fix, you're not well today.
So ...
Plums!
Three for $0.25.
Come and buy now!
Why I'm here today
and tomorrow I'm leaving!
Ask me how I sell $0.10 each
or three for $0.25.
Come and buy now!
Why I'm here today and tomorrow I'm leaving ...
Look Troy.
Hi, Troy!
Hi, Gabe.
-Hi, Rose! -Hi, Gabe. What have you got?
You know what I got? Have fruits and vegetables.
Where's the prunes?
Today I have no plums, Rose.
I was just singing. I have some tomorrow.
I made a big order of plums,
have plums tomorrow to San Pedro and everybody!
Troy's mad at me.
I'm not mad, Gabe. Why would I be?
Did nothing for me.
I moved to the House of Mrs. Pearl to get out of your way.
I didn't mean to offend you.
Who said it offended me? I never said that.
You're not mad at me?
I'm not, Gabe. If you were, you'd say.
Come on, get out of the street.
Let's go.
I rented two rooms in the basement.
I even have my own door. Want to see my key?
This is my key, nobody has the same one.
My key to my two rooms.
Good for you, Gabe. Has its own key.
Hungry, Gabe? Was making coffee for Troy.
Accept cookie. Has cookie?
I knew when I went to heaven,
every morning I'd sit in the San Pedro and gate
and ate a big cookie!
Yes, it was fun,
We'd sit down and eat a biscuit,
and St. Peter was going to sleep. Told me to wake him up
time to open the gates for the trial.
So come on, make you a batch of cookies.
Troy, St. Peter has his name in the book.
I saw said: "Troy Maxson.
I said: "I know him". Has the same last name as mine.
"That's my brother!".
How many times are you going to tell me that, Gabe?
My name's not in the book. My name doesn't need.
I've died and gone to heaven.
But his name he has.
One morning, St. Peter looked the book
taking notes for the trial,
and let me see your name. Was the letter "M".
Also had the name of the Rose. I didn't see her as yours,
but I know you're there.
He has a big famous book by!
Has the name of everyone who once was born.
That's what he told me,
but I saw your name with my own eyes.
Between, Rose will prepare something to eat.
I'm not hungry. I had coffee with aunt Jemimah.
She came home and did a lot of pancakes!
-Between, Rose will prepare something. -Remember those pancakes?
-Yes, I remember. Let's go. I have to go!
-Gabe, come on! I have to sell prunes!
I sold a few tomatoes, got $0.50. Want to see?
I'm going to save up and buy a new trumpet
to St. Peter hear me when you open the gates.
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?
Are the Hounds of hell.
I drive them.
Get out of here!
My Lord is coming
Don't waste your time
My God is coming
It is better to obey
To prepare for the trial.
Everyone get ready for the trial.
To prepare for the trial.
My God is coming
To prepare for the trial.
Everyone get ready for the trial.
To prepare for the trial.
My God is coming
To prepare for the trial.
Everyone get ready for the trial.
My God is coming
Where's Gabe?
Out walking around.
He doesn't eat right.
Mrs. Pearl said he doesn't eat.
What do you want me to do?
I did everything I could for him. I don't know how to cure it.
Half of his head exploded, what do you expect?
Something should be done to help you.
He doesn't bother anyone,
just get that way by metal plate
they put on his head. Do not have ...
You don't have to send him back to the hospital.
At least he'd eat there. Take care of him.
Nobody wants to get stuck, Rose. Why do you want him?
He went over there,
went and fought in the war against the Japanese,
his head almost exploded.
They gave a measly $3000, had to intervene.
-Going to get into that again? -This metal plate.
That's the only reason I have a roof to live.
It makes no sense you blame yourself for anything.
Gabe couldn't take care of the money.
Did the right thing for him. No one can say otherwise.
Look how you took care of him.
Until I wanted to leave and moved in with Ms. Pearl.
That's not what I'm saying. I'm just ...
Just saying the facts.
If my brother didn't have a plate in his head
wouldn't have pot to piss in, not even a window to play piss off.
Where are you going?
Has fled from here every Saturday. I thought you were going to do about it.
I'm in the Taylor's and ...
Mom?
Cory, your father was a section
with you today without doing their homework.
Are you okay?
He said that should have helped with the fence.
I told you I had practice.
He says that every Saturday and never does anything, it will only in Taylor's.
You said you got drafted? -I told you.
-What did he say? I didn't say anything too much.
Go do your homework before he comes back.
Go clean up the ladder!
Before he comes back, yelling and complaining.
Go, boy!
Troy! Scared the hell out of me!
How was the game?
Lucille stayed on the phone, not watched.
What do I care? Come here, woman.
I thought I had gone there to watch the game. For, Troy!
I thought you were going to do about it!
I do when I finish ...
-with what I have on hand. -For, Troy!
I'm not giving you attention! But I'm going to teach you a lesson!
Leave me alone!
Where's Cory? Brought up his butt home?
Is there, doing homework.
Cory, get off your butt.
-Where are you? -Be right back.
-When...? -Just over there.
Why?
With who?
Troy, get in the House!
-Just got home? I had practice.
-What? -Yes, Sir.
I won't let you get away for a second.
The trash is full,
didn't do their homework, and saying "Yes".
I was just going to do my homework.
Your first duty is to help me with the fence, the rest comes later.
Now let's take the saw to cut the wood.
Hey, dad.
Why don't you buy a TV?
Why would I want a TV? For what?
Everybody has one. Earl, Ba ' bra, Jesse ...
I didn't ask who I was. Why would you want to?
To watch. Going on a lot of things on TV.
-Is? -To attend the Championship.
How much does a TV?
I don't know ... Is on sale for about $200.
-$ 200? It's not so much, dad.
No, it's just $200.
See that roof over your head every night?
Let me tell you something about him.
It's been 10 years that he was retired.
When winter comes and the snow cover,
She will melt and infiltrate. Just a bit, won't even notice.
Then it's going to leak all over the House,
the water will rot the wood and will need a new roof.
How much do you think it costs to fix the roof.
-I don't know. -$ 264. In money.
While I think on TV, I have to think about the roof.
Or other problems here.
If I had $200, what would you do?
Fix the roof or buy the TV?
Buy the TV.
And when the roof leaking, I'd fix it.
With what money? Spent on TV.
Will be sitting, watching water drip from the TV?
There's the money. I know you have.
-Where? -At the Bank.
Want to see my bank account? Want to see my $73.22?
You don't have to pay all at once, can give an entry and pay.
Not me. I don't owe anybody, if I can avoid it.
If you don't pay once, they come and take your House. And there?
Have you seen? When I have $200 free,
then buy a TV.
But for now, when you have $264, I'm going to fix the roof.
Spend your money and buy a TV, if you want.
Do things with my best friends.
I can't get $200. Never even saw $200.
I tell you one thing:
Get $100 that I complete the other $100.
Okay, I'm going to show you.
Show me how to cut this wood.
Here you are.
This is worth $200.
The Pirates have won today.
-Fifth game followed. -I don't even think in Pirates,
white-only team. There's only one boy,
that Puerto Rican, the merciful.
He never plays. Could be someone, if given a chance.
Plays a day, sit on the bench in the other.
He already played enough.
I'm talking about playing always, to get the hang of it. Is this.
It also has white not always play,
We can't all play always.
If a white man is on the bench, you can bet that doesn't play well.
One of color has to be twice as much better just to get in.
So I don't want to get involved with sports.
If the guy is on the team, what happens?
Black in team play.
Is the same as not being there.
All the teams are equal.
The Braves have Hank Aaron and Wes Covington.
Aaron did 2 home runs today, 33 in total.
Aaron is a nobody. Just did the right thing.
The game that's no mystery.
It's only a matter of time. I would've done 43 home runs !
Not in the Professional League.
In our League whisked up even better.
I made 7 home runs against Satchel Paige. You can't be better.
Sandy Koufax is leading ...
I'm not talking about Sandy Koufax.
Has Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette.
I've had enough of the conversation.
Cut the wood.
His mother said he was recruited by a College, isn't it?
Coach Zellman said the recruiter will speak with you.
To subscribe to the permissions.
I thought you were working in A & P. Wouldn't work there?
Mr. Stawicki said that will
hold my spot until the season's over.
Then, work on the weekend.
I thought we agreed how to football.
You continue with your duties and work in A & P .
But the Saturday all out,
don't do your homework and come say it won't work?
-Work weekend. -For sure.
Don't need nobody come ask me to sign anything.
You can't do that. He came from ...
No matter where it came from.
Look, boy.
The white will not leave enough anywhere with a ball.
Learn from your books, so you can
up in A & P ,
Learn to fix cars, or build houses.
Get a profession that no one can take away from you.
Learn to use your hands
for things besides upload other people's garbage.
My grades are good, dad. That's why they want to talk.
I was recruited by getting good grades.
I can go to College, have a chance.
First, go back there and get his job back.
Mr. Stawicki already hired someone because the football.
You're a bigger fool than I thought.
Going to let someone take your job to play football.
Where will you get money to take care of his girlfriend?
That stupid that made you leave you get your job?
-I will work weekends. -No.
Go out and get another job.
Father, I have to practice. I can't work and play football.
The coach said ...
No matter what they say, I'm in charge. You know what I mean?
I'm in charge here. Just what I say counts.
-I asked you if you got it.
-Yes. -What?
Yes, Sir.
Right.
Go back to A & P and see if you can get your job back.
If you are unable to work and play, drop the football.
Need to hit both lines as curves.
Yes, Sir.
Can I ask you a question?
For me? You have to ask Mr. Stawicki.
Why you never liked me?
Like you?
Who says you have to like you?
In what law says I need to like you?
Go stand in front of me doing stupid question?
About liking someone. Come here when I'm talking to you.
Straighten up, damn it.
I asked you a question.
In what law says I need to like you?
-No. -Right then.
Don't eat every day?
Answer me when I talk to you. Don't eat every day?
-Yes. -Deny, is at my house.
-Place a "Sir" at the end. -Yes, Sir.
-Eats every day.-Yes, Sir.
-Roof over his head. -Yes, Sir.
-Clothes on the body. -Yes, Sir.
-Why? -Because of you.
Now, I know it's because of me.
But why?
Because you like me?
Like you ...
Go out every morning,
drain all day taking white,
why I like you?
You are the biggest idiot I've ever seen.
It's my job. My responsibility.
A man must take care of the family.
Live in my house, fill the stomach with my food,
put your butt on my bed, because he's my son.
Not because I like you, it is my duty to take care of you.
I owe my responsibility to you.
Let's just be clear, here and now, before we go any further.
I don't need to like you.
Mr. Rand doesn't pay me because they like me.
He pays me because I must.
I gave you everything you should.
I gave you your life!
Your mother made you,
and have to love your butt was not part of the deal.
Don't spend your life worrying if they like you or not.
Just make sure you are observing.
-Do you understand? -Yes, Sir.
So get out of my face and go to A & P .
Why not just let him play?
He just wants to be like you in sports.
I don't want you to be like me.
I want you to stay away as much as possible of the life I had.
You're the only good thing I had, Rose.
So I wish for him.
But I do not wish anything with my life.
Decided, 17 years ago, he didn't get involved with sports.
Not after what they did to me.
Why don't you admit it was too old to play?
At least once, admit it.
Don't tell me that was too old.
It just wasn't the right color.
I have 53 years and still do better than. 269 of Selkirk.
How would play baseball above 40?
Sometimes you don't make sense.
Do I sense, Yes. Enough
not to let him get hurt in sports.
You giving too much affection,
is wondering if you like him or not.
All the kid does, he does for you.
Just want to say: "well done, son".
I don't have time for that, Rose.
He is alive and healthy.
Turn around. I turned around.
Nobody will hold his hand when you go out in the world.
Times have changed, Troy.
People change.
The world has changed and you didn't even notice.
Woman, do the best I can.
I come every Friday, carrying a sack of potatoes and lard.
You go in the door and stretch your hands.
I give you until the dust from my pocket, I give my sweat and blood.
I have no tears. I've spent all.
We went up in the night, I fall into you
and I try to open a hole in the infinite.
Get up Monday morning, I take my lunch on the table, go out,
and find the strength to get through to next Friday.
That's all I got, Rose.
All I have to give.
There is nothing more to give.
Mr. Maxson.
The Commissioner will welcome you.
Rose!
Hey, Rose.
I wish I had seen the face of Mr. Rand when told you!
Wouldn't come out of his mouth! As if she had bitten her tongue.
When they called my name there, you thought you were going to fire me.
-As everyone thought. -Didn't think I fire you.
I thought they were going to give warning.
Hey, Rose.
Mr. Rand almost bit her tongue.
I saw that was running in Taylor's count for Alberta.
Hey, Rose. I told everyone.
Hey, Rose.
I went to cash out my money.
Stop yelling! I know you came. What you said there.
Have to come when I call you, woman.
Question pro Bono. Lucille won't come when called?
Still, man. I'm not a dog, "comes when called.
See, Bono? I had a mad dog like her, I said:
"Come on, Blue!", and he just kept looking.
Even took a stick to try to call him.
I'm not even going to give the ball to you and your dog.
Remember your music.
Listen to! Listen to!
I had a dog named Blue.
Nobody wants to hear.
Blue was very true.
Remember Cory running and singing this song.
Until I remember her.
You know that Blue was a good dog.
Blue cornered a Skunk in a hollow log.
It was the music of my father. He invented.
I don't care who invented, nobody wants to hear.
Come here, woman!
As it stands, I don't think I resigned.
What they said at the Office?
Listen, Rose. Mr. Rand called me
After I finished talking with the staff,
He called me and told me. ..
... that I was going to be a driver.
Troy, you're kidding!
I'm not. Ask pro Bono!
Great, Troy. Just don't bother anyone else.
Damn ...
Didn't think I'd see you today. I thought I was stuck.
Given in the paper who invaded Sefus ,
where do you stay with the Cubs.
Father, had nothing to do with me.
I'm not going to play, I'm just going to go with the band.
I have nothing to do with gambling.
-Has good music there. -Got what marginal.
How have you been, Mr. Bono? Hi, Rose.
Vi which will play today at the Crawford Grill .
Why didn't you bring Bonnie? Should have brought.
She does not come it's been over a month.
I was just in the neighborhood, I felt it was time to stop.
-Here he comes. -His father was promoted.
It will be the first color driver.
Only going to be there, reading the newspaper, which is not white.
If only I could read, would do well.
You mean, if he did run.
Fought with everyone to drive and didn't even have a license.
Mr. Rand knows he doesn't have a license?
Driving is easy, just point the truck
where do you want to go. Driving is easy.
I know you don't have a license, that's what I'm talking about!
I didn't ask if it was easy, I just asked if Mr. Rand knows.
He doesn't need to know.
When I do, I will have three wallets.
So, dad ...-I know.
I know that "Then, Dad" is this. Deny it wants money.
Friday night, payday,
all the marginal on the street, except the prisoners,
and Lyons is a loony to join them.
You see, Dad? If I let the others talk,
you would see that I came to return the $10, like I said.
Here. I said I'd pay when Bonnie got.
No, you keep the $10 and put it in the Bank.
The next time you want to come and say, go and serve this.
Here's your $10, father. I said it was just a loan.
No, stay for the next time you want to ask me.
-Dad, take your $10. -Troy, Oh, let the guy pay you.
Here it is, Rose.
If you don't, you're going to be in my ear for six months.
And give me your also, Troy.
You see, Bono? See how you treat me?
Lucille does the same thing.
To prepare for the trial.
Everyone get ready ...
Hey, the son of Troy!
How are you, Uncle Gabe? -Lyons.
The King of the jungle!
Rose, brought a flower for you.
I picked myself. It's a rose, like you.
That kindness, Gabe!
What are you doing, Uncle Gabe?
I've been chasing the Hounds of hell
and waiting for the time to send San Pedro open the gates.
Chasing Hounds of hell?
Doing the right thing. Someone has to scare them away.
Yes, I know.
The devil is strong, he is not soft don't.
Hell hounds nipping at heels,
but my trumpet awaits judgment day.
It's going to be the battle of Armageddon?
Nor will it be much of a battle
When God start swing his sword.
But it will be difficult for people to get into heaven
If the gates are not open.
Hear that, father?
-Uncle Gabe, you're good. -Lyons ...
The King of the jungle!
Stay for dinner, Gabe? I can make your dish?
Accepted just a sandwich, Rose. I don't want a plate.
I want to eat with your hands, a sandwich ...
And you, Lyons, is? I'm cooking ribs.
No, I'm just going to eat after I finish playing.
You don't want to go there, hear me play, Daddy?
I don't like that Chinese music, that noise ...
Come in and clean up, Gabe. I make you a sandwich.
Troy's mad at me.
Why are you mad at him?
He always thinks that because moved with Mrs. Pearl.
I'm not mad at him, he lives anywhere.
Why did you move? She doesn't like anyone.
She don't care, this is it.
I just don't like singing.
She doesn't care to receive rent, that is.
Troy, I won't argue again.
He went there because he wanted his own House, to come and go.
He can come and go here.
Not prevented. Don't put rules.
It's not the same thing.
This is the last time we discuss.
I don't want to hear any more of Gabe and Mrs. Pearl.
-And next week ...-Ready for the sandwich, Rose.
Next week, when the recruiter comes,
I want you to sign the paper and let Cory play football.
And this is the last time we discuss it.
Cory was drafted? For which school?
I'm not even thinking about Cory.
He's out here smelling like piss,
thinking that he can do what he wants, no matter what I say.
You see, Bono.
I left the Office and went to the A & P .
The kid doesn't work there. Lied to me.
He said he took the job back,
Working weekend
who works after school.
Mr. Stawicki says he doesn't work there.
Cory's just growing up.
Is eager to follow in his father's footsteps.
It does not matter.
When it comes to the point of disobey me,
It's time to move on.
Question pro Bono.
I bet not disobeyed his father without suffering the consequences.
I didn't even get a chance.
My dad just passed, I've never seen or met.
Never knew what I thought or where he was going.
It's only been ...
Seeking new lands.
It's like the old saying.
If a man changed
from place to place, woman to woman,
We said that "seeking new lands".
I never knew if found.
When it was my turn, I didn't want children.
I never thought I'd be standing in the same place
to be able to have children of my own.
I thought I was "picking up".
In the end, I'm with Lucille
almost as much as his father is with Rose.
It's been 16 years.
Sometimes I wish I had never met my father.
Didn't care about children.
A child, for him, was nothing.
All he wanted was to learn to walk
for him to put you to work.
Time to eat, he ate first.
You'd get the leftovers.
He sat down, ate two chickens and give you a wing.
Stop it, dad. Everyone feeds the children.
Even if it's hard, all guarantee food to children.
Everything my father cared
was taking cotton to Mr. Lubin.
All that mattered to him.
I sometimes wondered why he was still alive.
Why the heck hadn't caught him.
"Take the Bale of cotton to Mr. Lubin."
I found that owed money.
He should have walked away if I was.
That's what I'd do.
How to go with 11 children? Where would you go?
I only knew ranching.
He was locked up, and I think he knew.
But one thing I can say.
He felt responsibility for us.
Maybe not treated us as it should,
but without that responsibility,
could have run away and left us.
Made your own way.
Many did this.
At that time,
went out for a door, chose a road and disappeared.
That's what I'm talking about.
Disappeared until they find something else.
Never heard of anyone with the blues missing "?
It is so called, when disappeared as well.
My father had no "missing blues".
Was right there with his family,
but it was so evil as he could be.
My mother couldn't stand him. Out of evil.
She ran away when I was about eight.
Snuck out one night.
Told me he'd come back for me. Never saw her again.
All the wives left him. He was no good to anybody.
When it came my turn to go, had 14 years.
I had my eye on Joe's daughter Canewell.
We had an old Mule named Greyboy.
My father sent me to plow the field.
But I've been staying with Joe's daughter Canewell.
We found a good place, we tuck in us.
She was about thirteen, I thought us grown.
So there we were, enjoying ourselves, without thinking.
I didn't see that had come loose Greyboy.
Returned straight home, and my dad was looking for me.
We were there, having fun, when he arrives.
Caught us by surprise.
Took the leather straps of the Mule,
and began to whip me like there's no tomorrow.
I jumped, angry and embarrassed.
I was afraid of my father.
When he began to whip, of course I ran.
I thought I was mad because I didn't do the job.
But I saw he was just driving away
to get the girl himself.
When understood then what it was,
I've lost all fear of my father and, right there, I became a man.
14 years of age.
Now it was my turn to scare him off.
I got the same reins, grabbed them,
and started to whip him.
The girl jumped out and ran.
When you look me in the eye,
I understand why the devil never came to pick him up.
Because he was the devil.
I don't know what happened after that.
I woke up ...
Lying on the River, and the Blue, my dog licked my face.
My eyes closed, so swollen.
I thought I was blind, I couldn't see a thing.
I was just lying there.
I cried ...
I didn't know what I would do.
But I knew
There was time to get out of the House of my father.
Suddenly, the world has grown.
It took a long time for me to digest
the point of being able to deal with it.
Part of this digestion was when
I could feel it in my blood,
and saw that the only thing that separated us
were just a few years.
What have you got, Uncle Gabe?
A ham sandwich. Rose gave me a sandwich.
I lost touch with everyone except the Gabriel.
But ...
I hope he's dead.
I hope you found peace.
Heavy story, dad.
I didn't know who left home at 14 years.
14 years is a little young to live alone,
I don't know what I'd do.
I got up that Creek and I went to Mobile.
No more plantation. I thought it would be better in the city
so I walked 200 miles to Mobile.
Wait a little. Didn't consider, father!
Nobody is 300 km.
It would be a big walk!
It was the only way back then.
I would have caught a ride with someone.
Who would take a ride? There were no cars like today.
It was 1918.
What are you talking about here?
I told Lyons how easy it was for him.
He didn't know anything about what I did.
Lyons, Bonnie was on the phone. Is to pick her up.
Okay, Rose.
I've been to Mobile
and join another coming in the same direction.
I came here and found
that not only couldn't find jobs, had no where to live.
I thought I was free.
The coloured lived here on the River,
in any shelter that were.
Near the Brady Street Bridge.
They lived in huts made of sticks, paper and tar.
I got trouble, went from bad to worse. I started to steal.
First stole food. Then I thought:
"If you steal money, buy food and shoes".
One thing leads to another, I met your mother.
Was young, eager to be a man.
I met your mom and you had. Why did I do that?
The concern to feed you, she ...
Stole 3 times more.
One day I went out looking for who steal ...
That was me, a thief.
I'm telling the truth.
I'm ashamed of that day, but it's true.
I went to Rob a man, I shot a knife, he pulls out a gun.
Shot me in the chest. It was like
If I sign with a hot iron.
When you shot me, jumped on him with the knife, and ...
They say I killed him.
They locked me up in prison for 15 years, where met Bono.
I learned to play baseball.
After I left, his mother had
gone with you, to live life without me.
15 years was too long to wait.
But these 15 years cured me of thievery.
Ask Rose.
When I met her, she asked
If I had stopped with that nonsense.
I said, "Baby, just you and baseball are worth to me."
Heard, Bono? I did say.
She said: "What comes first?".
I said: "no doubt the baseball.
But if you stay with me, both of us forget baseball ".
It's not true, Rose?
-It's true. -Shut up, don't say anything.
You said: "Honey, you know that you will always come first".
Why I love this woman!
Rose puts you in line. If warping, she straightens.
Lyons, go get Bonnie. She is waiting for you!
Hey, dad ...
Don't want to go to the Grill to hear me?
I'm not, I'm too old to go into clubs.
It has to be good for touch Grill.
Come on, dad.
-Get up early tomorrow. You don't have to stay late.
No, I'm going to have dinner and go to bed.
I need to go. See you later.
Don't come here on the day of payment.
Pick up the phone and let us know you're coming.
And bring Bonnie. You know I love to see her.
I will do that, Rose. Take care of yourself.
So long, dad. -Bye.
Later, Mr. Bono.
Later, Uncle Gabe! - Lyons, King of the jungle!
Dinner's ready, woman? We have to talk later.
It's going to be fierce ...-Troy, I told you!
Woman, it's just Bono here. He's family.
I know that deny from ... How long ago did you know?
For a long time.
I've known him since that Skippy was a pup.
-We passed several together. -You're absolutely right.
I've known him longer than you, Rose.
And we're still together, shoulder to shoulder.
Bono, you can't ask for more than that.
I love you, man. -Oh, no!
I love you too. But I must go home to my wife.
Yours is at hand. I gotta get mine.
Why did this, father?!
What is it? Cory, what is it?
The father went to the school and told the coach that I don't play anymore.
He wouldn't even let me play!
Said to the recruiter.
-Troy ...-don't give me that.
I did that, and he knows why.
Why did you do that? It was my only chance.
-It's okay to play ...-the boy lied to me.
I said: "Deny, want to play football?"
Then continue with your duties and his work in A & P.
Were the conditions.
I spoke with Mr. Stawicki ...-I can't work and play!
I tried to tell you that he held my spot,
but neither wanted to hear! Now did it?
I haven't done anything, you did to himself.
Just because you didn't have a chance. Afraid that I'm better.
-Come here. -Troy ...
Troy.
Get off the ground.
Put it on.
Tie him up.
Did you see?
Made a mistake.
-Didn't even do anything! I'm going to tell you what it was.
Swung the bat and didn't hit the ball.
It was the first strike.
Now you put it in the Bank.
Tried and missed. Have you seen?
It was the first strike.
Don't miss three times.
Cory, come in and help me clean up the cabinets.
I'm not going to leave the team.
I don't care what the father says.
Talk to him when I get back.
He had to go see his Uncle Gabe.
The police arrested him again, for disturbing the peace.
He back straight.
Come in and help me clean up the cabinets.
Come.
Troy, what did they say?
They didn't say anything.
I gave him $50 and they let him go.
Then I'll tell you.
Where's Cory? Me helping with the cabinets.
Tell him to get out here.
They just want the money.
Have been six or seven times I was there to rescue him.
They see me and stretch your hands already.
I know what you mean, all they care about is money.
They don't care about what's right.
Deny ...
Why did you buy hardwood?
You're just building a picket fence.
All you need is a soft wood.
I know what I'm doing. Wood is out.
You use soft wood in the House.
Soft wood is inside, this is out.
Now tell me where the fence will be.
No need of this wood.
If you put soft wood, it lasts until you die.
How do you know when will I die? It may be that live forever.
Even old Horsely.
That's what Magee said.
Magee was a fool. Have you ever heard
someone who takes the teeth with rusty pliers.
The old. My grandfather took a tooth with pliers.
There were no dentists for color around here.
But use bolt cutters clean, you know? Clean!
Sterilize them.
And we don't live in this time.
It was just go to Dr. Goldblum.
I saw you with that girl from Tallahassee, Alberta.
I saw that they were "close". What do you mean, "next"?
I saw you laughing and joking with her all the time.
Play with everybody, Bono. You know me.
That's not the kind of joke that I'm talking about.
How are you, Mr. Bono?
Cory, take the saw and cut wood Bono.
He said that the wood is too hard.
Stand back, Jim. Let the kid show you how it's done.
Make yourself at home.
Check it out!
Tough kid, looks like Joe Louis.
I must be getting old,
by the way he cut the wood.
I don't even know why mom wants a fence in the backyard.
Will know. What does she want to keep out?
She doesn't have anything that others want.
Some build fences to keep people out.
Others, to keep us in it.
Rose wants to keep everyone together. She loves you.
Deny, don't need to be told that my wife loves me.
Cory, see if you can find the another blade in the House.
Where is?
Sent to find. Search to find!
What I meant with that keep all together?
Troy ...
Looks like I've known you my whole life.
You and Rose. I know these two for a long time.
I remember when I met her.
When I played baseball in the Park.
Many of the girls were behind you.
I could choose what I wanted.
When he chose Rose, I was happy for you.
It was the first time I heard that knew what he was doing.
I said: "My friend Troy knows what he's doing."
"I will follow him, it might take me somewhere."
I've been following you.
I learned a lot about life watching.
I learned to understand where is the shit.
How to distinguish the fucking alfalfa.
Taught me many things.
Taught me not to make the same mistakes.
To accept life as it is, always one foot behind the other.
Rose is a good woman, Troy. I know it is.
I am married to her 18 years. What you want to tell me, Bono?
I just said that she is a good woman, that's all.
Said it's a good woman just to make the idea in the air.
Why are you telling me this?
She loves you, Troy. Rose loves you.
I don't deserve. That's what he's trying to say.
Don't I deserve because I go out with another.
Know what you want to tell me.
Know what Rose means to you, Troy.
I'm just saying that I don't want to see you doing crap.
Yes ...
Thank You, Bono.
If you were cheating on Lucille, would tell you the same thing.
Is all I have to say.
I say this because I love them both.
Damn ...
You know me. I wasn't there looking for it.
No woman better than Rose.
But this woman ...
It seems stuck on me, I can't get.
Ever tried to fight, but she just stuck even more.
And now stuck forever.
You're in control. That's what I always tell me.
You are responsible for what you do.
I don't deny my responsibility. If you're well
in my heart, so I'm relaxed.
I hear my heart, he's always telling me right from wrong.
And I don't want to hurt Rose, love her.
Supported me by a long way,
the love and the respect for that.
I know you love. So I don't want to see you hurting her.
But what are you going to do when she finds out?
And then?
If you try to balance the two, 1 hour let a fall.
It is more than normal. -I know what you mean, Bono.
I'm trying to find a way to resolve.
Solve right, Troy.
I don't want to get on the subject of you,
but resolves to be all right.
I always mess it up you.
When are you going to buy the refrigerator that she wants?
Don't tell me you don't have money, know what your bank.
The Bank does not need your money as much as Lucille.
-Let me tell you something. -What?
When you finish building this fence to Rose,
buy that refrigerator.
Now if in trouble.
-Deny, where are you? -I'm going home.
Don't expect help you now, right?
I'm protecting my money.
I want to see you raising this about myself.
It remains to be seen.
Will be here for about six months without me.
Deny, you don't hit well.
When it comes to my money,
hit as well as the July 4 Fireworks.
We will see.
You can take your checkbook.
What did they say? What happened to Gabe?
I went there and I dropped it. Cost me $50.
They said disturbed the peace.
The judge scored for audience in three weeks.
To discuss whether it should be reinternado.
What you said to the judge?
Said that I would take care.
That would not make sense to reintern him.
Then open that greasy hand, said to pay $50 and take him.
And where is he? Where did you go?
Around. You don't need to hold him by the hand.
I don't know, it seems to me that it would be
the best place for him at the hospital.
Know what you're going to say, but I think it would be better.
He lost his life fighting for?
Now they want to arrest him.
Let him free. Don't bother anyone.
Each has its point of view.
Come to lunch.
Have lima beans and corn bread in the oven. Come and eat.
Let's not worry about Gabe.
I have something to tell you. -Wait for the table.
Rose ...
I don't know how to tell you this.
I can't explain.
It was something that grew ...
Started as a shrub, then turned into a forest.
-Troy, what is it? -Let Me talk, woman.
I'm trying to tell you ...
Trying to find a way to tell you.
I'm going to be a dad.
I'm going to be somebody's father.
Troy, you're telling me that going to be?!
-That's going to be a father ...? -Rose.
Hey, Troy! Hey, Rose.
I had to wait 18 years to hear this.
Hi, Rose!
Bring a flower for you.
Is a rose. The same as you.
Thank You, Gabe.
Troy, you're not mad, right?
Because of the evil that took me.
-You ain't mad, isn't it? I'm Gabe.
18 years and comes home with that.
Did you see? I got a new currency.
-Rose, it was just ... nothing you say explains, Troy.
The guy who gave it to me had a lot.
I'm going to keep it until dark.
Gabe, between. Have watermelon in the fridge, I give you a piece.
Rose was chasing Hounds of hell
and some evil came, grabbed me and took me.
Troy helped me. Was there and said
It was to release me, or did he beat everybody.
-Said Yes. -Between, Gabe.
Give you watermelon. The bad guys are gone.
Rose will give me watermelon. The one with the stripes.
Why, Troy?
Why?
After all these years,
bring it to me now.
At your age, doesn't make sense.
To expect that 10 or 15 years ago. Not now.
It's not a question of age, Rose.
I'm tired of being everything that a wife should be.
Everything that a wife can be married for 18 years. ...
All this to see you telling me that there's another.
You're going to have a son.
You know I never wanted "means" in my family.
My whole family is "medium". All from different mothers and fathers.
My half-sisters, my half-brother.
Hard to know who's who, you can't talk about dad and mom.
It's always "your father, your mother," "my father, my mother".
I never wanted to "medium" for no son of mine.
And now you're bringing this up?
Stop. It was time for you to know.
I don't want to know!
Rose.
There's no way to make this go away. It's already done.
You can't want it short.
And you don't want to.
Maybe you'd like me and my boy sumamos.
Is that what you want? Are you going to send us away.
I've invested 18 years of my life in you,
should have stayed in my bed.
Don't. Listen to me, we can work this out.
We can talk, come to an agreement.
Now it's "we".
Where was the "we" when rolled with another woman?
"We" should have done a deal before this farce.
If you think we have a deal, you're wrong.
Rose, is that ...
She gives me a different idea.
A different understanding of myself.
I came out of this House
and I walked away from the pressures, the problems.
It was a different man. Without worrying about bills, roof ...
I could just ...
... be a part of me that had never been.
What I want to know is:
What I want to know ...
Plans to continue with her?
That's all I can tell me.
I can sit in her house and laugh. You know what I mean?
High River and feel good.
Runs through my whole body, even the feet. Rose ...
I can't give that up.
Maybe you should move in with her so,
Since she is better than me.
It's not about who is better. Rose, this is not your fault.
There is no wife.
I'm responsible.
Arrest me both in a routine
to take care of you that forgot to take care of me.
And so I was there? It was my job, not another.
Rose, listen. I've always tried to live decently.
Live a clean life, hard and useful.
I tried to be a good husband in every possible way.
Maybe I was born backwards, I don't know.
But I was born with two strikes before taking over the base.
I had to be very careful, always afraid of the curveball.
You can't take one more strike. You can't let anything pass.
If you're going to lose, that is giving the maximum.
Everything is against you.
What to do?
I fooled them, Rose.
I battery, but hit.
When I got you, Cory and a almost decent job,
was safe. Anything more would hurt me.
Wouldn't another strike. Would not be arrested.
Wouldn't be lying in the street with a bottle of wine.
Was safe, had a family.
A work ...
I wouldn't give my last strike .
I was on first base,
waiting to replace,
-me out ...-I should have been sleeping at home.
But she gave me courage.
I spent thinking that if I tried, maybe ...
Should have embraced me, and didn't let go.
After 18 years, I thought: "it's all or nothing!".
We're not talking about baseball!
We're talking you out, sleeping with another and back.
That's, not baseball! Rose, you're not listening to me.
I'm trying to explain the best way I can.
It's not easy for me to admit
I was standing in the same spot for 18 years.
I was standing with you!
I've been right here with you, Troy.
I also have life.
I gave 18 years of my life to be in the same room with you.
Don't you think I wanted other things?
Don't think I had hopes and dreams?
And my life? What about me?
Don't you think you've imagined as would other men?
I wanted to lie down somewhere
and forget about my responsibilities?
I wanted someone to make me laugh,
to feel good?
You're not the only one who has desires and needs.
But I stayed with you, Troy.
I removed all my feelings, my desires,
needs, dreams ... I buried all in you.
I planted a seed. Prayed and watched for her.
I planted in you waiting to bloom.
And no it took me 18 years to realize
the soil was hard and with stones and that never flourished.
But I stayed with you, Troy.
I held still more.
It was my husband.
I owe you everything.
Every part of me I gave you.
And upstairs, in that room, with the darkness around.
I gave everything I had to erase any doubt
It wasn't the best man in the world.
And wherever I went, I was going along.
Why was my husband!
It was the only way to survive as his wife.
Always talk about what you give and what you don't have to give.
But you also get it, Troy.
Here, you don't know who's giving.
-I caught and not give? -Troy.
-Caught and not give? You're hurting!
I give everything I have. -Troy!
Don't lie to me! -Troy, get off me!
Troy! Troy!
Right.
Second strike .
Stay away from me, kid.
Do not give your last strike .
There's only one now.
Do not give your last strike .
MOM
Troy, I want to talk to you.
All of a sudden?
After all this time, you want to talk to me?
Don't talk to me for months. Don't talk to me yesterday.
I didn't want to have anything to do with me yesterday.
What do you want to talk about now?
-Tomorrow is Friday. I know that day is tomorrow.
You think I don't know?
My whole life I always hoped the sixth.
You don't have to tell me.
I want to know if he's coming home.
I always go home, Rose. You know that. I never stopped.
It's not what I meant and you know it.
I want to know if back straight after work.
I thought I'd whip out my check,
go to Taylor's with the boys, play checkers.
Troy, I can't live like this. I will not live like this.
The situation has gone more than I should,
makes 6 months back home.
Come back every night, every night of the year.
Are 365 days.
I want you to come home tomorrow after work.
Rose, not play my pay off. You know that.
I get my salary, I give to you,
I get nothing except what you give me.
I just want a little time for myself.
Time to enjoy life.
And when I short life?
I don't know what to say, Rose. I do my best.
Just back home from work
just to change clothes, then this is your best?
I'm going to the hospital to see Alberta.
She was hospitalized today, it looks like you might have the baby early.
I won't be long.
Just so you know, took Gabe on House of Mrs. Pearl.
She said she gave permission to admit him.
I've never done that. Who said that you lied.
It's a big lie of Mrs. Pearl.
She didn't tell me, I read in the papers.
-What you said? -It was to admit him.
So wrong, always wrong. These papers do not concern me.
He said that the Government pays a portion
to the hospital, the other for you.
If that's the way it is, didn't invent the rules.
You did the same with Cory.
Didn't sign the paper to Cory, but signed for Gabe.
I said I didn't sign anything, woman!
Only the release document.
I can't read, I don't know what was written.
Don't sign anything to admit him.
I said, "send him to the hospital", you said no.
Then he went there and signed for half the money.
You went back, Troy. Answer for that.
This is Mrs. Pearl chat.
She's just mad because no longer receives rent.
-Troy, I saw your signature! You haven't seen anything!
And for that she has my brother's documents?
Mrs. Pearl is lying. I'm going to talk to her.
Didn't see anything that I signed.
I said ...
Didn't see anything that I signed.
Troy.
Troy ...
It was the hospital. Alberta had the baby.
What did she have?
It's a girl.
I'd better go there to see her.
Troy ...
I have to go see her, Rose. Is the right one.
What's the problem?
The baby was born healthy?
Alberta died during childbirth.
Die? Are you saying that's dead?
Alberta is dead?
They said they did everything they could ...
There was nothing they could do for her.
And the baby, how are you?
They said it was born healthy.
I wonder who's going to bury her.
She had family, Rose. I wasn't alone in the world.
I know I wasn't alone in the world.
It Will ask if you have insurance? -Don't talk to me like that.
You've been asking "who will bury her?".
As if I were going to do it.
I'm your wife. Stay close.
I'm not ruling out anybody. Just give me space.
Give me room to breathe.
Right, Ms. Death.
I'm going to tell you what to do.
Go there ...
... and I will build a fence in this yard.
Build a fence around the mine
and then I want you to stay on the other side.
Stay away until you're ready for me.
Then come and get me.
Bring your army. His Scythe. Your clothes.
This time I won't let my guard down.
You will not ...
You won't get behind me.
When you're ready for me,
When I say Troy Maxson "at the top of your list,
then come and knock on the front door.
No one else has anything to do with it.
It is between me and you!
Face to face!
Stay on the other side of the fence until you're ready for me.
Then come and knock on the front door,
at any time you want.
Be ready.
Thank you. Enjoy the game.
And going up to bat, with average. 249, destro ...
It's time to strike out, Arty. Prepare ...
Rose.
I'm here with my daughter in her arms.
And ...
She's just ...
Just a tiny little thing.
Knows nothing of this world of adults.
She is innocent.
And has no mother.
Why are you telling me this, Troy?
Well ...
I think we're going to sit on the porch.
The man has to do what is right for him.
I don't regret anything I did.
It seemed to me right in my heart.
What are you smiling at?
Your dad is a big man.
Have these big hand.
But sometimes afraid.
Right now he is scared,
Why are you sitting on the porch, without a home.
I've been without a place to live. Not only had a baby,
but I've been without a place to live.
Alone on the road.
Via a train roaring and singing ...
Please Mr. engineer, let this man go up
Please Mr. engineer, let this man go up
I don't have a ticket,
Please let me ride
Is my daughter, Rose.
Blood of my blood. I can't deny it,
just like I don't deny my boys.
You and the boys are my family.
You and this child
are all I have in this world.
I guess what I mean is ...
I'd appreciate it
If you could help me take care of her.
Okay, Troy.
Is right.
Take care of your baby for you.
Why is she ...
She is innocent.
Cannot pass the sins of the father to the daughter.
A child without a mother has a hard life.
From now on, the child's mother.
But you don't have a wife.
I go in, everyone leaves.
I'm taking this cake in the Church for the yard sale.
Lyons went to see you came you pay the $20.
It's here on the table. Here is my.
Put it on the table, then caught.
What time back?
Don't ask, no matter when I go back.
I was just asking a question. I can't even ask?
Troy, not now. Your food is in the oven.
Just need to warm up. And don't eat the cakes.
I'm going back to get them, sell them tomorrow in the Church.
-Hi, Troy. -How you doing, Bono?
I thought I'd stop by to see you.
Nobody was in the House, so I thought ...
Why did you come to see me? I haven't seen you for more than month.
I'm probably owe you some money.
After their promotion, I can't keep up with you.
Used to see you every day.
Now I don't know which route works.
They change me enough, now I'm in Greentree.
Picking up trash from the whites.
Greentree? You're lucky.
At least you don't have to lift the cans.
Are getting increasingly heavy.
I'm going to stay for two more years and stop.
Also thinking about retiring.
For you is easy.
You can drive for another five years.
It's not the same thing, Bono.
Not working behind the truck.
It's like working alone, without anyone to talk to.
Thinking about retiring.
How is Lucille? -Okay.
Her arthritis from time to time.
I saw the Rose in the way here.
It's going in the Church, isn't it?
Yes, got the habit to go there.
With the shepherds, filling his pockets.
Gin.
No, thank you. Just stopped by to say hi.
But drink a, deny.
I've never seen you denying a drink.
-Does not work tomorrow. Just to see you.
I'll pass on Skinner's House. Play dominoes every Friday.
Deny, you don't play dominoes.
I made 4 of every 5 against you.
Well ... I learned.
I'm getting better.
Truth?
So it's okay.
I have to go. Pass home someday.
Step Yes, Bono.
Lucille said Rose
did you buy that refrigerator for her.
Yes, Rose told Lucille that finally built the fence.
Now we're even.
I knew you would.
Is ...
Right.
-Speak. -Good to see you, Bono.
Step there any day.
Okay, Troy.
Listen to! Listen to!
I had a dog named Blue.
Blue was very true.
You know that Blue was a good dog.
Blue cornered a Skunk in a hollow log.
The old Blue died, I dug your grave
Put it there with a gold collar
And every time he barked
Blue had cornered a Skunk into the Ark of Noah.
I need to pass.
What did you say?
You're in my way. I need to pass.
Move to where?
It's my house, I bought.
It took me 15 years.
If you want to get into my house while I sit on the porch,
excuse yourself as his mother taught.
-I need to pass. -Will go over?
Also live here.
Will pass over me in my house?
I'm not afraid of you.
I didn't ask if I was afraid.
Asked if he thought I was going to walk all over me.
That's the question. Will not just go over?
-If that's how you see ...-How else could it be?
I was passing by your side to enter
Why are you sitting on the porch, drunk, singing.
Without asking?
I asked you a question.
Without asking?
I don't need to ask permission. Not worth anything else here.
Understand. I'm not worth anything else here.
You don't have to ask permission.
Suddenly, you've grown up so much that his father isn't worth anything anymore.
In the House and in his backyard, he paid,
with his own sweat.
You have grown so much that his father doesn't count for anything.
Will take care of everything?
Will take possession of my house? You're going to put on my pants?
Go to bed in my bed?
You don't have to say excuse me
because your father isn't worth anything anymore. Is this?
That's right.
Always talk rubbish. Get out of my way.
Must have found a place to sleep.
Something to line the stomach.
Did you get?
Because this is what you need.
Do you have?
You don't know what you have, don't worry about it.
Is right.
100% right.
I've spent the last 17 years worrying about what you have.
Now it's your turn.
We will do the following:
You grew up. We get it.
Became man. Now I want to see act as such.
Turn your back and leave this yard.
And when you get in the alley, forget this place.
Because the House is mine.
Be a man and get his own place.
Forget this, because it's mine.
Go get yours, I'm tired of getting by you.
You just talk, but what was that you gave me?
Your feet. Your bones. Your heart, deny.
I gave you more than any other.
Never gave me anything.
Stop me all my life, afraid of being better than you.
All my life, tried to get me to be afraid of you.
I shivered whenever I called.
Every time I heard his footsteps.
I thought: "what the father will say if I do this?".
"And if I do that?" "And if I turn on the radio?"
And mom also afraid of you.
-Leave your mother out of this ...-I don't know how to make it.
I told you to leave it out. What are you going to do?
Give me a beating? Can't. He's old!
It's just an old man!
Deny! That's all that is.
It's just another deny on the street for me.
It's crazy, you know that?
Can go, can pass. Has the devil inside of you.
Is a crazy old man, telling me that I have the devil.
I'm crazy yes! If you don't get out of my yard,
show you how I'm crazy.
Now get out of my yard!
It's not your backyard.
Took the money from Uncle Gabe, bought this House and kicked him out.
Take this black butt of my yard!
I'm not going anywhere.
Come, take me! I'm not afraid of you.
-Is my bat. -Come.
-Let go of my bat. -Come and get me.
What's the matter, is not a bad man? Come on!
Now you have to use.
If you want to aim for that bat will have to use.
Come on!
Come on!
You have to kill me.
If you want to aim for that bat in me,
you have to kill me.
Let's go.
Let's go...
So I'm going to show you.
Come on!
Go on, get out of this House.
Go.
Tomorrow I will come get my stuff.
Will be on the other side of the fence.
I like anything.
I like anything.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah ...
Hallelujah.
I don't feel the taste of nothing.
Let's go.
It's between you and me now.
Come.
Any time you want.
Come.
I'm ready for you.
But it won't be easy.
- Raynell? - Lady?
- What are you doing? - Nothing.
Come in and get dressed, what are you doing?
See if my garden grew.
I said that doesn't grow all of a sudden, have to wait.
But it seems that will never grow. Damn it!
I said that if you watch, the pot never boils.
There's no pot here, mom.
Come in and get dressed, it's not morning to keep playing. Did you hear me?
Yes, Madam.
Wicked garden.
Hi.
I bet your name is Raynell.
Your mom is?
Mom, there's a man here.
Mom!
Cory?
Cory!
Cory! Cory!
Thanks to God!
Look here, people!
Look at ...
It has grown so much ... Why are you crying?
I'm glad you could make it.
Hi, Lyons. How are you, Mr. Bono?
Look at you!
Looks good, Rose. Already a Navy cable.
What took you so long?
You know how the Navy is, all the paperwork ...
I'm glad you made it.
Let Lyons see, your Uncle Gabe's in the hospital.
I don't know if they will let you come.
I just got off the phone with them.
A United States Navy cable.
His father knew he was capable.
He always told me.
It's not pretty, Mr. Bono?
Is! Reminded me of Troy, when I met him.
Rose, Lucille's in church with the choir.
I'm there to organize who will carry the coffin.
But I go back to get them. Thank You, Jim.
Later, Mr. Bono.
Cory, look at the Raynell.
It is not beautiful? It will break many hearts.
Say hi to your brother. Is your brother Cory.
-Remember Cory? -No, Ma'am.
She does not remember, Mom.
But we talk about you, she heard of you.
Is your brother Cory. Say hello!
-Hi. -Hi.
So you're Raynell?
His mother always told me about you.
Come, I'll make you some coffee to stay strong.
- I'm not hungry, Mom. - You can do to me.
I'm coming there.
Sure you do not want anything, Cory? I know you do not feed you well.
Thank you mom. I'm not in the mood. As later.
Raynell, go up and seen as sent.
I always knew it would be someone.
His head was always in the right direction.
So...
You will stay in the Navy?
A career, spend twenty years there?
Do not know.
There have been six, I think that is enough.
Stay with Uncle Sam and early retirement.
There's nothing more here.
I think Rose told you what happened to me.
They put me in prison.
I thought I was smart and, taking money from others.
How long is fulfilling?
They gave me three years.
It's almost over, only missing over 9 months.
It's not so bad.
Learn to deal with, like everything in life.
"You need both batting straight as the curves."
That's what the father said.
He said this when he made mistakes.
I've seen him missing three times
but next, he sent the ball over the stands.
There in Homestead field.
Not content to send the ball away,
I had to go over everything.
And then the game,
there were 200 people around, waiting to greet him.
"You need both batting straight as the curves."
The father was out of the ordinary.
Still play?
Cory, you know it is.
Have some guys there, we formed a band.
We will try to stay together when we leave, but ...
Yes, still play.
I still help out in the morning bed.
And while you do, I will continue
to try to make it all make sense.
Lyons, I made some eggs.
I eat those eggs. Then we bury his father.
How are you?
It's ok?
- Oi. - Oi.
You sleeping in my room?
Yes, it was my room before.
This is how the father called.
"The fourth Cory."
His football is in the closet.
Raynell, go up and get dressed. Put shoes new.
Mother, can not use these? Others hurt my feet!
You'll have to hurt a little.
It did not hurt when we went in the store to buy.
At the time they did not hurt, my feet grew.
Do not answer me!
Go up, get dressed, and put the new shoes.
Not much has changed here.
Still have it tied to the tree.
He was here, swinging the bat.
I was about to enter the house.
He swung the bat and just fell.
It seemed that when he turned, stood, smiling.
Then she fell.
They took him to the hospital, but he knew he did not need.
- Why do not you come in? - Mom, I have something to tell you.
I do not know how to tell you, but I need.
I'm not going in his father's funeral.
Boy...
Shut up.
his father is talking about!
I do not want to hear it today.
I created you to turn it?
It is there, all healthy, saying it will not in the father's funeral?
- Listen ... - I do not care, Cory.
Take this head.
To say "no" to him, at least once in life.
I do not need to hear it.
I know you did not get along,
but I do not need to hear it today.
Disrespecting your father will not make you a man, Cory.
Find another way to do it.
Do not go to your father's funeral will not make you a man.
My whole life, growing up in his house,
he was like a shadow, following me everywhere.
That weighed me, seeped into my flesh.
This involved me so much
I could not make out who I was.
That shadow was in the flesh!
Trying to infiltrate, to live through me.
But where I looked, I saw Troy Maxson me looking back.
Under the bed, in the closet ...
I have to find a way to get rid of that shadow, mother.
- You're just like him. - Do not tell me that, Mom.
- Is the new Troy Maxson ... - Do not want to be Troy Maxson!
I just want to be me.
You can not be someone other than you, Cory.
That shadow was only yourself, growing inside.
Or to suit her or she suits you.
But will grow your life with her.
It's all you have to face the outside world.
His father wanted it to be everything he was not.
At the same time, I wish it was all he was.
I do not know whether it was right or wrong, but I know
that the intentions were more for good than for evil.
Sometimes his touch hurt.
Sometimes the embrace him cut me.
When I met him for the first time, I thought:
"There is the man who will make a child."
It was the first thing I thought when I saw him.
I thought, "Rose Lee,
here is the man who can open
and be satisfied completely. "
"Here is the man
that can fill all the empty spaces
in walking feeling incomplete. "
When his father walked around the house,
he was...
...so big.
He filled the house.
It was my first mistake.
Do not make leave a space for me.
But...
I wanted a house where I could sing.
And that's what your father gave me.
I did not know, to keep it strong,
I needed to give small pieces of me.
I accepted his life as mine,
and mixed our parts
to the point of not giving to differentiate.
It was my choice. My life.
And I need not have lived like that, but ...
That's what life offered me and I accepted.
I grabbed with both hands
and when Raynell arrived ...
I do not mean that the tragedy of others
was a blessing to me,
but I accepted Raynell like
all babies who wanted but never had.
I was blessed with a small part of my life.
And if the Lord keeps me strong,
I'll create it exactly like his father created you.
I give her the best in me.
Mom ... Reverend Tollivier the phone.
Oi.
Oi.
- Is the Army or Navy? - Navy.
Dad said the Army.
- You met the Blue? - What Blue?
The dog daddy, he sang.
Listen only! Listen only!
I had a dog named Blue.
Blue was very true.
You know that Blue was a good dog.
Blue cornered a skunk in a hollow log.
You can see that Blue was good dog.
Listen only! Listen only!
Blue cornered a skunk on a cliff.
Blue looked at me, looked at him.
I took the opossum, put in a bag.
Blue stood there until I get back.
Paws Blue were large and round.
Never let the skunk touch the ground
Old Blue died, dug his grave
I dug the grave with a silver spade.
The put there with a gold collar
And every night I called his name.
"Go ahead, Blue. Good dog." Sing ...
"Go ahead, Blue. Good dog."
Blue lay down and died as a man.
Blue lay down and died ...
Blue lay down and died as a man.
Now corners possums in the Promised Land.
I'm singing to tell you
Blue that was where the good dogs go.
Blue was where the good dogs go ...
Cory, we're ready to go.
Go...
Come and put your shoes like Mom sent.
In order to go to his father's funeral.
It's all right. I'll be back.
Hey, Rose! I arrived!
I arrived, Rose! I arrived!
Lyons, look!
See, Rose? I told you he would no longer come.
- Como vai, that Gabe? - Como vai, that Gabe?
Oi... Ei, Rose, est na hora.
Time to tell St. Peter to open the gates.
Soon, Troy?
Troy is soon?
I'll let St. Peter to open the gates.
Get ready.
Let me go!
Troy... Troy!
That's how it's done.
