SARAH?

YES?

WOULD YOU MIND LIVING IN THE COUNTRY?

COURSE NOT. YOU'RE FORGETTING I WAS BORN IN THE COUNTRY.

IT'S IN MY BLOOD.

SOMEDAY MAYBE WE CAN MOVE BACK DOWN SOUTH SOMEPLACE.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE REAL NICE, BABY.

OK, I'M GOING TO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST THINKING.

WHAT?

ABOUT WHEN WE FIRST MET.

YOU WERE LIVING ON SOMERSET STREET WITH YOUR SISTER LELA.

I WAS A YOUNG GIRL FRESH FROM THE COUNTRY THEN.

YEAH, AND YOU HAD THE BIGGEST BUTT I EVER SAW.

IF YOU DON'T STOP...

BUT IT'S THE TRUTH. GOOD-LOOKING BEHIND.

SAID TO MYSELF WHEN I FIRST SAW IT,

"SHE GOTTA BE FROM DOWN HOME

"'CAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE BEHINDS LIKE THAT

IN THE CITY." STEVE!

WELL, IT'S THE TRUTH.

DON'T YOU MEN EVER THINK ABOUT NOTHING BESIDES BEHINDS?

LEGS AND BOOBS, BUT MOSTLY BEHINDS.

OH, MAN!

I REMEMBER.

YOU SNEAKED THROUGH THE LIVING ROOM WINDOW

IN THE HOUSE WITH THAT CRAZY CHARLES

'CAUSE HE WANTED TO SURPRISE LELA.

YEAH, OLD CHARLES.

HE SURE WAS IN A HURRY TO GET HOME FROM THAT WAR.

HE WAS YOUR SISTER'S FIRST HUSBAND, WASN'T HE?

NO, HONEY, THIRD.

THIRD, THIRD!

AH, YOU ALL LOOKED SO GOOD IN YOUR UNIFORMS, ESPECIALLY YOU.

WELL, YOU KNOW...

I WAS SO TACKY, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE ME.

I SAW YOU. I COULDN'T MISS THAT BUTT.

HOWEVER, I KNEW THE NEXT TIME YOU SAW ME,

I'D HAVE IT TOGETHER AND YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO RESISTME!

YEAH, I KNEW IT, TOO.

TOOK YOU OUT ON OUR FIRST DATE THAT VERY NIGHT.

YES, YOU DID.

THOSE WERE SOME BEAUTIFUL DAYS.

WEREN'T THEY?

THOSE WALKS WE USED TO TAKE IN THE PARK.

YOU WERE THE FRESHEST MAN.

I WAS ONLY DOING WHAT A MAN IS SUPPOSEDTO DO.

NO, YOU WERE FRESH, STEVE JACKSON.

WONDER IF THAT TREE'S STILL THERE?

YOU AIN'T NO DAMN GOOD, YOU KNOW THAT?

I USED TO STOP BY THAT TREE AND WE USED TO KISS.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

USED TO TAKE YOU BY THAT TREE, PRESS YOU AGAINST IT REAL HARD,

AND YOU USED TO LOVEIT. STOP!

IT'S THE TRUTH. YOU COULD HARDLY WAIT TILL I COME BY

AND TAKE YOU TO THAT TREE AND PRESS YOU AGAINST IT.

YOU USED TO SAY, "OH, STEVE, PRESS ME AGAIN.

PRESS ME AGAIN."

STEVE, YOU KNOW YOU LYING. YOU KNOW YOU ARE.

GIRL, YOU COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF THAT TREE.

OH, MAN. THAT WAS ALL AN ACT.

AN ACT? YES, SIREE.

SARAH, YOU WAS HARDLY ACTING.

OH, YES, I WAS, TOO.

YOU JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

I KNEW IF I ACTED ALL SHY AND SCARED,

THAT WOULD MAKE YOU LIKE ME MORE.

WOMAN, YOU CAN'T FOOL ME WITH NO ACT.

I SEE YOU MARRIED TO ME.

I GOT TO ADMIT YOU GOT ME THERE, SARAH,

IF I'D TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

AFTER 20 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, 2 KIDS, AND 3 JOBS,

YOU STILL GOT THE BIGGEST BUTT I EVERSAW.

YOU'RE MY QUEEN, SARAH.

YOU'RE MY QUEEN.

THANK YOU, MY DEAR HUSBAND.

IT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT.

HEY, YOUNG BLOOD. WHAT'S HAPPENING?

SAME OLD, SAME AS OLD HERE.

VACATION STARTS TODAY, HUH?

YOU DECIDED WHAT YOU GONNA DO?

DON'T KNOW, I MIGHT JUST WALK THE STREETS FOR TWO WEEKS

BRINGING SUNSHINE TO LONELY DUDES LIKE YOU.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

COME ON. I'LL BUY YOU A DRINK.

OK.

HOW'S YOUR OTHER JOB?

ROTTEN, BORING, AND UNDERPAID... BUT THANK YOU, JESUS.

YES, LORD. SAME HERE.

SAY, MAN, LET'S GO TO ZENOBIA'S TONIGHT.

WHERE? ZENOBIA'S

WE AIN'T GOT THAT KIND OF MONEY.

WILL WE EVER? COME ON, MAN. I FEEL LIKE CUTTING LOOSE.

BOTTLE OF BEER COSTS $5 IN THAT PLACE.

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE. WHAT YOU SAY, HOMEBOY?

NOTHING DOING. YOU EVER BEEN THERE?

YEAH...AND NO.

I DROPPED SOME PEOPLE OFF WITH THE CAB,

BUT THERE BE SOME FINE MAMAS COMING IN THAT PLACE.

COUNT ME OUT, YOUNG BLOOD. TOO FANCY FOR ME.

SOME FINE MAMAS COMING IN THERE.

NO!

TO YOUR VACATION.

HEY, FREDDY.

FREDDY, COME HERE. COME HERE, MAN.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO ZENOBIA'S?

WELL, WILL YOU TELL THIS MAN ABOUT ZENOBIA'S, PLEASE?

WHAT'S THERE TO TELL?

ONCE YOU GO IN, YOU DON'T NEVER WANT TO COME OUT.

IT'S THE HIPPEST PLACE IN THE WORLD!

YOU OUGHT TO CHECK IT OUT, STEVE.

LET'S GO TONIGHT.

LET'S-- SHALL WE CHECK IT OUT?

I'LL SEE HOW I FEEL AFTER SARAH GOES TO SLEEP.

AFTER SARAH GOES TO SLEEP?

YEAH.

YOU MEAN YOU GOT TO SNEAK OUT?

THIS GUY...

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU'RE SO HENPECKED

THAT YOU GOT TO SNEAK OUT THE HOUSE?

YOU BETTER TIGHTEN UP ON YOUR MARRIED LIFE, JACK.

SHOO...

AND IS THAT ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER NINE?

NINE-ONE-FOUR-ONE-NINE?

THAT'S MY--I WON. THAT'S M-MY TICKET.

STEVE...WHAT'S WRONG?

THE LOTTERY TICKET...

IS IN YOUR WALLET?

THAT WAS STOLEN AT ZENOBIA'S?

DOES SARAH KNOW?

SHE MAD, AIN'T SHE? WELL, WHAT YOU GONNA DO?

I'M GOING TO FIND THAT WALLET, WARDELL.

HOW?

BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY,

A-AND I WANT YOU TO HELP ME, YOUNG BLOOD.

I'M YOUR MAN, HOMEBOY. WHAT'S YOUR FIRST STEP?

I AIN'T SURE, BUT WE GOT TO FIND THOSE ROBBERS.

WE CAN'T GO TO THE POLICE

'CAUSE W-WE DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN TRUST THEM

IF THEY KNOW WHAT'S IN THE WALLET, IF WE DON'T TELL THEM,

THEY AIN'T GOING TO WASTE TIME LOOKING,

SO I FIGURE WE GOING TO HAVE TO GET OUT IN THE STREET,

AND KIND OF KEEP OUR EARS AND EYES OPEN UNTIL WE

PICK UP SOME CLUES.

WELL, WE CAN'T GET OUT THERE OURSELVES.

FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY? THE HELL WE CAN'T!

HANDS UP! TURN AROUND AND FACE THE WALL.

AW, MAN, I--

FREEZE.

NAH, SEE, YOU ALL GOT THE WRONG--

YOU'RE WRONG, SEE? I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.

I WANT A LAWYER.

I-- DON'T SAY NOTHIN' TO ME!

YOU KNOW THEY WAS GOING TO SHOOT ME-- WARDELL.

I DID EXACTLY--

MISTOOK ME FOR SOME BIG UGLY CAT

WITH A BEARD AND A MOUSTACHE.

I CAN UNDERSTAND-- SHUT UP!

WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THIS STUFF NO MORE.

WE'RE GOING TO GET A PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

WHERE ARE WE GONNA FIND ONE?

IN THE YELLOW PAGES! I DON'T KNOW!

MR. WASHINGTON?

MR. WASHINGTON?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

WE'RE-- WE'RE LOOKING FOR SHARP EYE WASHINGTON.

WHO LOOKING FOR HIM?

STEVE JACKSON, AND THIS IS MY FRIEND WARDELL FRANKLIN.

WE WANT HIM FOR A JOB.

SOME PROPERTY OF OURS WAS STOLEN.

WE WANT HIM TO GET IT BACK FOR US.

COST YOU $500.

$500? OH, WE AIN'T GOT THAT KIND OF MONEY.

$400?

NAH.

I think we gonna have to...

HOW ABOUT $300?

YOU SURE YOU SHARP EYE WASHINGTON

THE PRIVATE DETECTIVE?

YEAH, I'M SHARP EYE WASHINGTON, THE ONE AND ONLY.

NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE ME.

WE'RE WORKING PEOPLE.

SEE, I DRIVE A TAXI CAB,

AND I MEAN, LIKE, $300, MAN...

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A DETECTIVE. IT'S ROUGH.

THERE'S PEOPLE LOOKING FOR ME NOW.

WHO? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND 'CAUSE I GOTTA SPLIT.

HOW ABOUT $200?

ALL YOU RISK IS $200,

BUT I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE.

IT'S A LONELY, DANGEROUS LIFE BEING A PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

ALL YOU DO IS RISK A LITTLE MONEY.

I SOLVE THE CASES, AND PEOPLE ARE AFTER ME!

LOOK AT MY EYE-- MY RIGHT EYE.

SEE HOW BLOODSHOT IT IS? KNOW HOW IT GOT THAT WAY?

FROM SLEEPING WITH ONE EYE OPEN, BABY.

LIFE AIN'T EASY-- ALWAYS ON THE MOVE,

PEOPLE AFTER ME WITH GUNS,

LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD OF YOUR CAR FOR BOMBS,

PEEKING OUT WINDOWS, PEERING DOWN HALLWAYS.

IN THE MOVIES, RIGHT?

YOU SEE THE MOVIES ALWAYS GOT SOME SUPER NIGGER

ALWAYS KILLING SOME WHITE BOY IN THE MAFIA,

BEATING UP THE CROOKED POLICE.

THAT'S NOT TRUE, AND IT DON'T HELP ME EITHER.

AND WOMEN-- THEY ALL GOT WOMEN.

BLACK DETECTIVE IN THE MOVIE ALWAYS GOT A WOMAN.

WATCH YOURSELF.

WELL, I AIN'T HAD A WOMAN IN-- HOW LONG?

MONTHS! MONTHS.

I MIGHT AS WELL BE A MONK,

THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING A DETECTIVE.

THAT'S THE REAL TRUTH OF IT. IT'S ALWAYS STEADY ON THE CASE.

STEADY ON THE CASE.

I'M GETTING MY THING TOGETHER, TOO, BABY,

'CAUSE I'M SHARP EYE WASHINGTON--

STEADY ON THE CASE.

WE-- WE GIVE YOU $50 DOWN,

AND THE REST WHEN YOU FIND OUR PROPERTY.

DEAL. JUST WRITE DOWN YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER.

YOU GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

'CAUSE I'M GOING TO FIND YOUR PROPERTY.

THE ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.

$50...BUT--BUT--

WE AIN'T TOLD YOU WHAT WE LOST.

I WAS ABOUT TO BRING THAT UP. IT'S SOMETHING VERY VALUABLE.

YEAH.

AND IT'S MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD?

THAT'S RIGHT.

IT'S A...

WALLET.

I THOUGHT SO.

WHAT'S IN IT?

SOME FAMILY PICTURES

AND SOME-- SOME SENTIMENTAL SOUVENIRS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WELL, STEADY ON THE CASE.

Wardell: SAY, MAN. HEY!

IT'S JUST MY WAY

OF STAYING ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE THIEVES AND HUSTLERS.

HEY, WAIT!

I KNOW...A WALLET.

HEY, HEY, LISTEN!

LOOK, WAIT A MINUTE!

WHAT'S THAT?

I'D LIKE TO GET 300 TICKETS TO THE POLICEMAN'S BALL.

YOUR CON DAYS ARE OVER, WASHINGTON.

HUH?

HE STOLE OUR MONEY.

HE STOLE A LOT OF PEOPLE'S MONEY, FELLA.

WE'VE BEEN ON YOUR TRAIL A LONG TIME.

I WAS FRAMED. YOU SAID THAT IN DES MOINES, IOWA,

WHERE YOU WERE CLEOPHUS WASHINGTON, A PREACHER.

YOU ESCAPED FROM CUSTODY.

YOU SAID THAT IN JERSEY CITY WHERE YOU WERE HENRY HAWTHORNE

A BOGUS LAWYER. YOU JUMPED BAIL.

YOUR CLIENTS ARE STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO HANDLE THEIR CASES.

THAT'S MY COUSIN CLARENCE WASHINGTON.

THAT'S NOT ME. THAT'S NOT ME.

DAMN, MAN, WE TRUSTED YOU! I MEAN, WHY US?

WHY NOTYOU, BROTHER?

TAKE HIM AWAY.

UH, WAIT A MINUTE. HE STOLE OUR MONEY.

W-W-WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THAT?

GO TO THE STATION HOUSE

AND FILE A COMPLAINT FOR THE RETURN OF YOUR MONEY,

BUT LET ME WARN YOU, YOU'LL BE WAITING IN A LONG LINE.

IS THE GOVERNOR IN TOWN?

GET HIM DOWN HERE. I WANNA SEE HIM.

YES, MAY I HELP YOU?

WE'D LIKE TO SEE CONGRESSMAN LINCOLN.

EXCUSE ME, CONGRESSMAN LINCOLN,

THERE ARE TWO GENTLEMEN WAITING OUTSIDE TO SEE YOU.

YES, OF COURSE, FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

NO, SIR.

AH, THEN PERHAPS THE PRESS.

I THINK NOT, SIR.

THEY LOOK-- WELL, RATHER ORDINARY.

UH-OH. CONSTITUENTS?

YES, SIR.

SHOW THEM IN. YES, SIR.

AH, QUICK-- THEIR NAMES.

MR. FRANKLIN. MR. JACKSON.

RIGHT.

BROTHERS, I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU.

OH, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

BROTHERS, AH.

HA HA HA. HAVE A SEAT.

NOW, THEN, MR. WILSON--

YES, OF COURSE.

YOU SEE, I AM SO GLADTO SEE YOU.

IT ISN'T OFTEN I'M PRIVILEGED TO SEE OUR MORE COMMON FOLK--

THE REAL SALT-OF-THE-EARTH FOLK, YOU KNOW.

AS I WAS JUST SAYING TO MY BELOVED WIFE,

IT IS BECAUSE OF KNOWING THE ORDINARY FOLK

IN OUR DAILY LIVES THAT WE CAN KEEP IN TOUCH

WITH THE PULSE OF THE GRASS ROOTS.

NOW, THEN, BROTHERS, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

SEE, WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM...

PROBLEM? YOUR PROBLEMS ARE MY PROBLEMS,

AND OUR PROBLEMS

ARE THE PROBLEMS OF ALL BLACK PEOPLE.

WE WERE ROBBED, CONGRESSMAN LINCOLN.

NO.

YES, AT GUNPOINT.

GUNPOINT?

WHAT A SHAME...SHAME!

IT, UM, WASN'T BROTHERS, WAS IT?

UH, UH, THEY WERE WEARING MASKS,

BUT WE ARE SURE THEY WERE BLACK.

OH.

MY PEOPLE.

MY PEOPLE.

HOW LONG, HMM?

HOW LONG?

WHY DO WE DOTHIS TO ONE ANOTHER?

NOW, YOU WERE SAYING YOU WERE ROBBED.

THE OTHER NIGHT--

OUR WALLETS, OUR JEWELRY,

AND SOME VERY VALUABLE MEMENTOS THAT WE KEPT--

NEVER FEAR.

HA HA HA HA.

NEVER FEAR.

JUST ONE SIMPLE PHONE CALL TO MY FRIEND--

MY GOOD FRIEND-- LIEUTENANT HARDCASTLE

DOWN AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS OUGHTA GO A LONG WAY

IN CAPTURING THIS TRAITOR TO OUR RACE.

WHERE DID YOU SAY THIS ROBBERY TOOK PLACE?

MADAME ZENOBIA.

IS THE LINE BUSY?

MADAME ZENOBIA?

YOU KNOW THE PLACE?

WELL, YES!

THAT IS, I-- I'VE HEARD

OF THAT ILLEGAL, UM, AFTER-HOURS CLUB...

A DEN OF INIQUITY.

YES, A LOT OF HIP PEOPLE GO BY THERE,

PEOPLE FROM ALL DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE TRACK.

IRRESPONSIBLE INGRATES, BROTHERS.

YOU WOULD BE WELL ADVISED

NOT TO VENTURE DOWN THAT DARK PATH.

JUST LAST WEEK, I WAS SAYING TO MY BELOVED WIFE

THAT I WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD IN SUCH A PLACE.

HI, CHESLEY, HOW YOU DOING TODAY, SUGAR?

OH, I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE IN A CONFERENCE.

BROTHER MAN, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

PEGGY LEGGY.

NO, NO, NO.

AROUND HERE, FOLKS CALL ME MRS. LINCOLN.

YOU KNOW, IN SPITE OF THAT WHOLE RIP-OFF THING,

CHILD, I HAD ME A BALL, I WANT TO TELL YOU!

PEG, DEAR,

MUST YOU ALWAYS SPEAK DIALECT?

IT'S SO CONDESCENDING. WE MUST RID OURSELVES

OF THESE LINGUISTIC SHACKLES.

HONEY, HUSH.

YOU ALL HAVE GOT TO FORGIVE MY HUSBAND.

I LOVE HIS SWEET SELF TO DEATH,

BUT EVER SINCE HE GOT HIMSELF A LITTLE BIT OF POSITION,

HE THINK HE INTO SOMETHING.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN HE STILL LIKED FRIED CHICKEN.

WHOO, I GET SO TIRED OF GOING TO THEM CORNY DANCES,

CORNY DINNERS WE KEEP GETTING INVITED TO--

THE ONE WHERE YOU BE THE TOKEN ONE

AND EVERYBODY STANDING AROUND LOOKING AT YOU

LIKE YOU SOMETHING IN THE ZOO.

WELL, I GOT TIRED!

ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, I GOT OLD SUPER BLACK OVER HERE

TO TAKE ME TO WHERE MYFOLKS IS.

WELL, I FIGURE HE'D TAKE ME TO A DINNER,

TAKE ME DANCING OR SOMETHING,

AND CHILD, HE COME TAKING ME TO ZENOBIA'S.

HE KNEW ALL ABOUT THIS,

ALL THE WAITRESSES BY THEIR FIRST NAME,

AND COME TO FIND OUT, HE A CHARTER MEMBER!

DAMN NEAR BLEW MY MIND.

THIS NIGGER'S SOMETHING ELSE, HONEY.

WELL, YOU SEE, I DISCOVERED

THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF MY CONSTITUENTS--

OH, HONEY, NOW, THAT AIN'T NOTHIN'

FOR YOU TO BE ASHAMED OF.

THEM POLITICIANS YOU BE HANGING OUT WITH

IN WASHINGTON BE GETTING INTO THEIR PLEASURES

A WHOLE LOT WORSE OF WAYS THAN THAT, HONEY.

HOW CAN ONE WORK FOR THE GOOD OF ONE'S PEOPLE

IF ONE'S WIFE CONTINUALLY AIRS IN PUBLIC

ONE'S DIRTY LAUNDRY?

THE PHRASE IS

"PUTTING ONE'S BUSINESS IN THE STREET."

YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?

SO, WHAT BRINGS YOU ALL AROUND HERE VISITING?

UH, WELL, WE-- WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOME HELP,

UH, TO TRACK DOWN THEM STICK-UP FELLAS

'CAUSE WE LOST SOME VERY VALUABLE PROPERTY

THE OTHER NIGHT.

OH, I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT...

AND THEM NIGGERS INTERRUPTED THE BEST ROLL I EVERHAD!

MMM!

LISTEN, THERE'S A BIG-TIME HOOD

NAMED GEECHIE DAN BEAUFORD YOU SHOULD SEE.

ALSO, GET A RUNDOWN

ON A LOCAL HUSTLER NAMED LITTLE SEYMOUR.

PERSONALLY, I THINK LITTLE SEYMOUR

THE ONE WHO DONE IT, BUT BE CAREFUL.

LITTLE SEYMOUR TRAVELS WITH A BODYGUARD

NAMED BIG PERCY, WHO CAN GET REALUGLY.

VETERAN. AND, UH, SEE, I MEAN, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

I HAVE THESE, UH, FITS, YOU KNOW.

AND THE FITS ARE, UM, I MEAN, I BE JUMPING BAD

AND TRY TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION ON PEOPLE.

BUT IT'S THEM FITS THAT'S DOING IT.

BUT THEN, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

SEE, THEY JUST GO DOWN AND I BE MYSELF AGAIN,

AND I DON'T BE JUMPING BAD.

BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT, MR. SEYMOUR.

BUT I'M NOT REACHING FOR A GUN.

I GOT A CARD.

SEE, THE CARD SAYS, UM, IF IN CASE OF A FIT,

PLEASE PUT THIS MAN UNHARMEDIN A CAB

AND SEND HIM HOME TO HIS WIFE. SHE PAY THE BILL.

SO, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GET THE WRONG IMPRESSION.

YOU LOUD-TALKED ME.

NOBODY LOUD-TALKS LITTLE SEYMOUR.

OH, NOW, SEE, MR. SEYMOUR, THAT'S-- SEE, I DIDN'T--

HE'S THE ONE.

BUT SEE, FIRST OF ALL,

YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT HIS GRANDMOTHER.

SEE, SEE, HIS GRANDMOTHER BROUGHT UP HIM ANDHIS SISTERS.

EVER SINCE THEY WAS DOWN--

THEY WAS DOWN THERE PICKING COTTON, MR. SEYMOUR.

I KNOW YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH PICKING COTTON.

WELL, IF YOU CAN'T, THEN I CAN DIG THAT.

BUT ANYWAY, SEE, WHAT HAPPENS--

THE GRANDMOTHER'S OLD LADY, YOU DIG?

AND SO HIS SISTER'S BEEN KEEPING LIFE SAVINGS ON HER

'CAUSE SHE DON'T TRUST THE BANK.

BANKS ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF AND STUFF.

AND THEN, SHE WENT TO ZENOBIA'S, YOU DIG?

AND IN ZENOBIA'S--THEN, WAS ROBBED OF THE MONEY.

AND THE LIFE SAVINGS JUST WENT.

SO MY MAN SAID, "LET'S GO CHECK OUT MR. SEYMOUR."

'CAUSE YOU'RE HIGHLY THOUGHT OF IN OUR COMMUNITY, YOU DIG?

I MEAN, YOU EVEN BIGGER THAN GEECHIE DAN BEAUFORD,

YOU DIG?

SO, UH, ANYWAY, HE'S DESPERATE TO TALK TO YOU.

THAT'S WHY HE'S CALLING YOU ALL THEM NAMES.

BUT IF YOU NOTICE, UH, MR. SEYMOUR,

HE NEVER SAID NOTHIN' ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.

SO HE WASN'T THAT DESPERATE, YOU SEE?

SO, UH, STEVE, COME OVER HERE AND APOLOGIZE TO MR. SEYMOUR.

THIS IS MY FRIEND STEVE, WHO'S GONNA APOLOGIZE TO YOU.

LET'S GET A FEW THINGS STRAIGHT.

FIRST, WHOEVER HIT ZENOBIA IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT

WITH THE SKIN OFF THEIR TAIL WHEN I FIND OUT WHO IT IS,

'CAUSE ME AND HER IS TIGHT.

Beauford: ALL RIGHT, LET'S START ALL OVER AGAIN.

YOU ALL GOING TO TELL ME SOMETHING.

WHAT?

ANYTHING I WANT TO KNOW.

WE DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.

SOMEBODY HIRED YOU TO FINGER ME, AND I WANT TO KNOW WHO.

NOBODY HIRED US TO DO NOTHIN'.

I JUST CAME TO YOU BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR HELP.

YOU'RE A LYING DOG, SUCKER.

WE TOLD YOU, WE DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT THEM GUNS--

NIGGER!

AAH!

AND YOU, TOO, HOT LIPS.

I'LL TALK! I'LL TALK!

I-IF WE TALK, ARE YOU GOING TO LET US GO?

HOW WE KNOW YOU AIN'T LYING?

FIRST OFF, I DON'T WANT YOU.

I WANT YOUR BOSS.

AND SECOND, I LIKE YOU.

AND THIRD, IF YOU ALL DON'T TELL ME

EVERYTHING I WANT TO KNOW,

WE GONNA BEAT ALL THE BLACK OFF BOTH OF YOU.

WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW?

SILKY SLIM SENT YOU, DIDN'T HE?

YEAH.

HE WANTS TO CONTROL ALL MY TERRITORY, DON'T HE?

YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED.

YOU ALL TAKE THESE 2 DOGS SOMEWHERE,

PUT THEM TO SLEEP.

YOU SAID YOU WAS GOING TO LET US GO.

YOU JUST CONFESSED, TURKEY.

YOUR ASS IS GRASS.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

I--I CAN PROVE WHO WE ARE.

THERE'S MY--MY STUB FROM MY PAYCHECK.

MY NAME IS ON IT. MY NAME.

MY BOWLING CLUB I.D. SEE?

SO YOU ARE ONLY FINGER MEN? SO WHAT?

YOU KNOW TOO MUCH. GET THEM OUT OF HERE.

WAH!

WHY DON'T WE GET SLIM?

I THOUGHT ABOUT IT...

BUT HE'S HARD AS HELL TO GET.

ANYONE CAN BE GOTTEN TO.

YEAH.

IT'S FUNNY, MAN.

ONE DAY, I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD.

AND NOW THIS THING WITH SILKY SLIM.

HE MUST BE CRAZY!

THINK I'M GONNA LET HIM MOVE IN ON MY TERRITORY,

AND I'M NOT GONNA DO NOTHIN' ABOUT IT?

WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?

HE'S MESSING WITH GEECHIE DAN BEAUFORD!

I WILL KILL THE PUNK!

TRYING TO OFF ME. I WILL MURDER THE SUCKER!

Slim: OK, GEECHIE, THAT WAS YOUR SHORTS.

NEXT TIME IT'S GOING TO BE YOUR LIFE.

YOU GOT A LIFE, TOO, SILKY SLIM.

I'M GIVING YOU TWO MINUTES.

WE MAKE A DEAL NOW

OR YOU'RE GOING TO BE WEARING WINGS.

TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT! NO DEAL!

AW, COME ON, MAN.

LET'S BE REASONABLE.

AIN'T NOTHING TO BE REASONABLE ABOUT.

LOOK, GEECHIE, I SAID LET'S TALK, MY MAN.

YOU TEAM UP WITH ME,

AND WE RULE THIS TOWN FROM RIVER TO RIVER.

NEVER WILL SO FEW OWE SO MUCH TO SO MANY.

THAT'S THE ONE!

HE-- HE-- HE'S THE ONE WE'RE AFTER.

SHUT UP OVER THERE!

BUT HE'S THE ONE WHO ROBBED MADAME ZENOBIA'S.

SO WHAT?

BUT HE STOLE SOMETHING THAT NIGHT

SOMETHING HE DON'T KNOW ABOUT,

SOMETHING THAT'S WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.

I TOLD YOU, SHUT UP.

DON'T BUG ME WITH THIS PENNY ANTE CRAP AT A TIME LIKE THIS.

YOU GOT ONE MINUTE, GEECHIE.

BUT THIS AIN'T NO PENNY ANTE, MR. GEECHIE DAN.

IT'S WORTH A FORTUNE.

MR. GEECHIE DAN, IT'S WORTH A FORTUNE.

WE'LL SHARE IT WITH YOU, MR. GEECHIE DAN.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S WORTH?

$300,000.

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

$300,000 IN DIAMONDS.

SLIM?

$300,000...IN DIAMONDS?

YEAH, BUT HE DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT IT, SEE?

HOW YOU KNOW THEY KNOCKED OFF ZENOBIA'S?

GO ON, TALK FAST, TURKEY!

OR I'LL PUT A HOLE THROUGH YOUR EYES!

'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE SAID WHEN HE ROBBED THE PLACE.

HE SAID, "NEVER HAVE SO FEW OWED SO MUCH TO SO MANY."

AND-- AND HE HAD A MASK ON AT THE TIME,

BUT WE RECOGNIZE HIS VOICE.

YEAH. HE'S THE ONE.

WHAT ABOUT THE DIAMONDS?

YOUR TIME'S UP, GEECHIE.

GIVE ME A COUPLE OF MINUTES, SLIM.

I'M TALKING IT OVER WITH MY BOYS.

ONE MINUTE, MY MAN.

GO ON. GO ON. TALK, TALK.

ME AND MY MAN, WE WAS GOING TO MADAME ZENOBIA'S.

AND WE WAS BEHIND THESE TWO AFRICAN GENTLEMEN

WHO WAS GOING IN THERE.

FIRST, SEE, THE DOORMAN, HE WOULDN'T LET THEM IN.

THEN, THEY SHOWED HIM A LETTER FROM THEIR LAWYER

THAT SAID THEY WERE VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE

IN THE DIAMOND BUSINESS.

SO, THE DOORMAN, HE APOLOGIZED TO THEM,

AND HE LET THEM IN.

SO, LATER ON THAT EVENING, I WAS IN THE JOHN.

I WAS RELIEVING MYSELF.

AND THE TWO AFRICANS CAME INTO THE BATHROOM.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW I WAS IN THERE

BECAUSE I WAS SITTING ON THE JOHN.

AND ONE OF THEM, I HEARD HIM SAY,

"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE DIAMONDS?"

SO, THE OTHER ONE SAID, "THEY IN MY LAWYER'S OFFICE.

"THEY'LL BE SAFE THERE FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS

"TILL WE GET BACK FROM WASHINGTON.

THEN, THE BUYER WILL COME IN FROM CALIFORNIA."

THE OTHER AFRICAN SAID, "HOW MUCH YOU THINK

WE GOING TO GET FOR THESE STONES?"

SO, THE OTHER ONE SAID, "$300,000."

SO THEY LEFT,

AND I CAME RUNNING OUT TO TALK TO MY MAN

ABOUT GETTING TO THE LAWYER'S OFFICE

TO HIT THE PLACE AND GET THEM DIAMONDS.

THAT'S WHEN SILKY SLIM COME IN

AND HELD EVERYBODY UP AND TOOK THE WALLETS AND THE MONEY,

AND ALONG WITH IT, THE LAWYER'S LETTER

WITH THE ADDRESS OF WHERE THE DIAMONDS IS.

UH-HUH.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'VE BEEN SNIFFING AROUND--

TO HELP YOU FIND THE LETTER.

YES, SIR.

OF COURSE, IF YOU'RE LYING,

THE UNDERTAKER GOING TO VISIT YOUR RELATIVES.

OK, GEECHIE, LET ME HEAR IT.

ALL RIGHT!

WE CAN MAKE SOME KIND OF DEAL.

COME ON IN. GOOD.

EVERYBODY KEEP THEIR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM.

OK.

MAKE SURE YOU COME THROUGH THAT DOOR THE SAME WAY.

NAH, PUT THEM AWAY.

MY MAN.

WHAT'S HAPPENIN'?

DOWN TO BUSINESS, SLIM.

I DON'T LIKE YOUR BAG.

YOU GOT NO CLASS.

DRUG DEALING, PROSTITUTION,

VULGAR STICKUPS LIKE MADAME ZENOBIA'S

LAST SATURDAY NIGHT.

THAT AIN'T MY THING.

I WAS HOME IN BED LAST SATURDAY NIGHT.

NO SKIN OFF ME, MAN,

SO LET'S MOVE ON.

NOW, I GOT SOMETHING WE CANWORK ON TOGETHER.

IT'S A $300,000 PROPOSITION.

I'M INTERESTED.

50/50.

AND IF WE WRAP IT UP, THEN WE CAN TALK MAYBE

ABOUT SOME TOGETHERNESS ON A PERMANENT BASIS.

WHAT'S THE DEAL?

YOU LEFT ZENOBIA'S THE OTHER NIGHT

LOADED DOWN WITH PERSONAL EFFECTS,

AMONG WHICH IS A DOCUMENT THAT WILL LEAD US TO THE $300,000.

NOW, IT'S A SIMPLE DOCUMENT. IT AIN'T GOT NO MEANING

UNTIL I TELL YOU WHAT IT CONNECTS UP WITH,

AND I AIN'T GOING TO TELL YOU UNTIL YOU BRING BACK EVERY BIT

OF THE PERSONAL PROPERTY YOU LIFTED.

YOU WON'T FIGURE IT OUT IN A MILLION YEARS, SLIM.

HOW DO I KNOW YOU AIN'T RUNNING A GAME?

MY WORD IS MY REP!

BUT, OF COURSE,

IF YOU DIDN'T HIT MADAME ZENOBIA'S

LAST SATURDAY NIGHT,

THEN THE WHOLE THING IS ACADEMIC.

YOU GOT A DEAL.

GOOD.

YEAH.

NOW...WE'LL MEET IN A NEUTRAL PLACE.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHERE

WHEN I CALL YOU AND TELL YOU WHAT TIME.

I'LL BE THERE WITH THREE OF MY BOYS,

AND YOU SHOW UP WITH THREE OF YOURS.

LOOK TO SEE YOU AROUND.

YOU WILL.

AND, UH...

ORDER ME A NEW CAR.

THAT IS, IF YOU WANT TO BE COMFORTABLE

RIDING AROUND IN YOUR OWN.

SHH.

NOW, BEFORE WE LEAVE ON OUR ANNUAL PICNIC,

I'D LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION...

We going on this picnic.

That way if anything happens, we got the perfect alibi.

AND THE SAYING THAT COMES BACK INTO MY MIND FROM THAT WAR

WAS "LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS."

SAID THAT-- SECOND WORLD WAR--

'CAUSE THEY WANTED PEOPLE TO KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT,

LISTEN A LITTLE MORE.

LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS!

AND THE LOOSER THE LIPS ARE, THE FASTER THE SHIP SINKS.

AND SOME OF THE LIPS IN THIS CONGREGATION

DONE SUNK AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.

FRIENDS, I SAY TO YOU TONIGHT,

IF WE WERE AS FAST ON THE HIP AS WE ARE ON THE LIP,

WE'D HAVE A BIGGER CHURCH HERE.

BETTER KNOW IT.

LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE

IN THIS CONGREGATION, FRIENDS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING? A LOT OF THE PEOPLE

IN THIS CHURCH HAVE BEEN GOING AROUND

SPREADING FALSEHOODS, LIES, AND RUMORS,

TRYING TO RUIN THE REPUTATION

OF A LOT OF OTHERPEOPLE IN THIS CHURCH.

THEY GO AROUND TRYING TO ROCK SOMEBODY ELSE'S CRADLE,

TRYING TO GET A PIECE OF SOMEBODY ELSE'S PIE,

TRYING TO COVET SOMEBODY ELSE'S MATE FOR THEIR OWN.

AMEN. AMEN.

LOOSE LIPS--

FRIENDS PUT IN MOTION BY LECHERY AND SINFUL THOUGHT--

IS SINKING SOME OF THE GREAT SHIPS OF MARRIAGE.

THEY GOING DOWN ON THE ROCKS.

THAT'S WHAT THEY DOING-- SINKING!

BUBLA-BUBLA-BUBLA.

AMEN. YEAH.

'CAUSE LIPS WON'T-- WON'T SHUT UP

AND HELP THE BUOYANCY KEEP THEM FLOATING

ACROSS THE TOP OF THE RIVER OF HAPPINESS.

YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT--THE LOOSE LIPS

THAT GO AROUND KISSING ON LIPS THAT DON'T BELONG TO THEM,

THAT GO AROUND LYING ON FOLKS,

THAT MAKE YOUNG GIRLS MAKE PROMISES

THEY KNOW THEIR BODIES CAN'T STAND.

THAT'S THE KINDA LIPS I'M TALKING ABOUT.

AMEN. AMEN.

WE GOT TO LEARN TO CONTROL THEM LIPS,

TIGHTEN UP THEM EARS TIGHTER! WE GOTTA LEARN TO CALL ON THE LORD

AND ASK HIM TO TEACH US SOME DISCIPLINE!

REMEMBER, CHILDREN, LOOSE LIPS ARE EVERYWHERE.

THERE'S NO ONE PLACE YOU CAN GO AND ALL THE LIPS ARE THERE.

LOOSE LIPS MOVE AROUND.

LOOSE LIPS ARE AMONG YOU IN THE PEWS.

Woman: AMEN.

THEY'RE AMONG YOU IN THE CHOIR.

AMEN. YES, SIR.

THERE ARE LOOSE LIPS AMONG THE DEACONS.

CERTAIN THINGS GOT OUT

ABOUT A MEETING WE HAD HERE LAST TUESDAY NIGHT

THAT NOBODY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!

HADTO BE AMONG THE DEACONS.

IT'S AMONG THE CHILDREN IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

I HEAR THE LOOSE LIPS SAYING,

"I AIN'T GONNA PUT THIS MONEY, I'M GONNA SPEND IT ON CANDY."

I DONE HEARD SO MANY BAD THINGS ABOUT SO MANY OF YOU ALL

TILL I WEPT WITH SADNESS LAST NIGHT.

LAST NIGHT MY HEART HUNG HEAVY, FRIENDS.

I FELT SO BAD, I ALMOST WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A BOTTLE.

WATCH OUT THERE, NOW. WATCH OUT THERE.

FRIENDS, I FOUGHT TEMPTATION,

AND THAT'S WHAT WE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN TO DO.

WHEN WE GET THE TEMPTATION TO LET OUR LOOSE LIPS LOOSE,

FIGHT IT! WE GOT TO LEARN TO GET OFF THE WRONGFOOT

AND STEP OUT ON THE GOOD FOOT.FEEL GOOD.

WHEN YOU FEEL GOOD, YOU LOOK GOOD,

AND YOU WANT TO DO GOOD THINGS.

YOU WANT TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY

'CAUSE IT MAKES YOU HAPPY YOURSELF.

FRIENDS, WE NEED MORE ROMANCE AND LESS HOT PANTS.

Woman: COME ON WITH IT NOW.

PUT YOUR SPRINKLER ON AND RUN THROUGH,

YOU WANT TO COOL YOUR HOT PANTS OFF.

WE NEED MORE MIDNIGHT SLEEPING AND LESS MIDNIGHT CREEPING.

YEAH. LAY IT ON US.
