MAN: I don't know who told you that,

but we'll--we will sell a colored man a boat

just as quick as we will anybody.

We're colorblind down here.

Hell, it don't make a damn if they're Vietnamese,

they come from Brazil...

I don't give a shit.

But whoever said that about me,

I wish they'd come by and tell me themselves.

I'll sell a black man a boat

quicker than a cat can lick his ass,

and that's--that's the way I feel about it.

I was brought up that way.

We didn't know any prejudice.

We were all just brothers together,

and that's the way I feel about it now.

MAN ON PHONE: Good afternoon!

Yeah, good afternoon!

How are things up there today?

They just couldn't be better.

The fish are jumping, and the cotton's high.

That's good to hear.

What can I do for you?

I don't know. Could I ask you a question?

Buddy, if it's about a boat, you're at the right man. Shoot.

This is Ace Barker, isn't it?

I hope to tell you it is,

at your service.

Who am I speaking to?

Ace, you got that 24-foot Grady-White

I been reading about?

Ha! Is there--

Is there a nigger in South Carolina?

I got one down here with your name all over it.

Well...Yeah, well, will you sell it to me?

Of course I'll sell it to you!

You come on down here,

and I'll get that paperwork out before a cat can lick his ass.

Before a cat licks his ass, huh?

That's right.

Well, about that Grady-White, now,

that's got a center console

or a cuddy cabin?

I believe that's got a cuddy cabin.

I'm a serious fisherman, Ace.

That's something I want you to know about me

right off the bat!

That's why I come to Boogerville!

Ha ha!

That's "B-o-u-g-h-e-r- v-i-l-l-e."

It's pronounced "Bowerville,"

and we are the fishing fucking capital of the South.

Where are you from?

Well, that don't matter.

You sell me that boat,

I'll take you out fishing next Saturday.

Who are you? I mean, do I know you?

Would you like that?

Well, hell, yeah.

You come on down here and buy that boat, and we'll go today!

Now, look. Uh...

you give me your name,

and I'll get this paperwork started.

You give me a good price?

Hell, yes, I'll give you--

I'll give you an Ace Barker price, buddy.

You sure that's got a cuddy cabin?

Yes, sir.

Not a center console?

No, sir.

I'm glad to hear that.

Look. I've--I've got some folks coming in right now,

and I'm gonna have to--

I'm gonna have to go out and take a look--

Well, I got a few questions.

I can't be buying a boat without--

Damn.

Listen. If you want that boat,

you, uh-- you come on down here.

I'll get you set up in it, OK?

Well...

Listen. You got the address?

Yeah, I know it.

Well, that's fine. You come on down.

Triple K Marine.

MAN: Now, look. That Grady-White

got those horizontal rod holders come already installed?

No, but I'm gonna give you a great deal on them.

Well, I got to have rod holders.

I'm a serious fisherman.

I know that. That's what you told me before.

I know you're a serious fisherman.

I told you that before?

Listen. Go get in your car,

drive down here,

let me get this paperwork started.

When you leave these premises,

you gonna feel better about yourself

and about the deal you made!

Well, I'd like to go fishing, catch some redbreast.

I hear they's good eating.

Yeah, redbreast is the best eating there is.

I'll eat 'em on a stick.

Really? I never did that.

Yeah, they're awful good.

They sure are.

I guess--I think they're biting now.

I'm not for sure.

It's 24 foot?

What?

It's 24 foot?

What?

That Grady-White's 24 foot?

I think it's 24 foot. I'm not for sure.

Well, I need 24 foot.

I understand that. I know that.

Just hang on a minute, will you?

Yep. That son of a bitch is not 24 feet long.

It's 25. You got yourself an extra foot.

You don't know how happy I am to hear that, Ace.

Well, I'm glad it happened that way.

I just want you to come on down here now,

and let's get this son of a bitch set up

and get you out of here.

What about them horizontal rod holders?

What about the horizontal rod holders, Goddamn it?

What kind of deal are you gonna give me on them?

Look. Go out and get in the car,

come on down here.

You're gonna feel good about yourself,

feel good about the deal,

and I'm gonna throw them in free.

Not gonna cost you one damn lick.

That's mighty white of you.

Blind nigger luck, ain't it?

Ha ha ha!

Nope, you can't beat it.

You're my friend, ain't you?

Hell, yeah, I'm your friend.

Come on down here, and I'll shake hands with you.

You know, I saw you over to the diner this morning.

What?

Do you eat there every day?

When I--When I want to, I do.

I do what I want to do.

So, then, you're saying you don't eat there every day?

Look, man, what do you care where I eat?

I thought you wanted a Goddamn boat.

SAMMY: Is that pretty or what?

MAN ON PHONE: I like the Sambo's on 95.

Yeah, that's all right, I reckon.

You ever eat there?

Yeah, I've eat there before.

You don't eat them pigs in a blanket, do you?

Look. This is a business phone.

This is a private line.

People try to get in here to--to get information,

and I have to get out to my customers

to see how things are going.

You get on the line,

MAN ON PHONE: I saw you eat lunch at the diner.

Goddamn, boy, you are a work of art.

That's two times in a day at that diner.

You ever check your cholesterol?

No, I don't.

Well, biscuits and gravy has lots of cholesterol.

You got health insurance?

What are you watching me for?

Cholesterol's bad for your pumper.

God damn it, what is it to you?

I don't want your heart going bad.

I want you to stay away from me.

I can't do that.

I'm worried about you.

Go to hell!

[Telephone ringing]

Yeah, hello.

Ace, I wasn't sure you'd be open today.

They got you working on Sunday?

Look, I work when I want to work.

Huh?

I come to work when I want to work.

I work when I want to.

Well, that's nice for you, Ace.

What the hell do you want?

I want to buy a boat.

Bullshit!

Oh!

[Telephone ringing]

Damn.

Hello.

I really do want to buy a boat.

You still got that Grady-White?

Yeah, I reckon.

Let's take it out for a spin, you and me.

What?

I can't buy it unless I ride it first.

I can't take you for a damn ride in that boat.

You got your own boat, don't you, Ace?

Let's go for a spin in that!

I ain't taking you no Goddamn place.

Look. Buy the boat, you take it out

and it don't work for you,

you bring it back, and I'll get it fixed for you.

Well, that won't work for me.

I got to ride it first.

Fuck yourself.

I ain't got time for this bullshit.

Let's not fight. I'm happy today!

[Telephone ringing]

Goddamn.

Son of a bitch.

Now what do you want?

I saw you putting up those balloons.

You know, that's none of your Goddamn business.

Let me tell you something.

You just keep fucking with me,

and I'm gonna get Deputy Horn on your fine ass.

Oh, no!

I want you to leave me alone.

You understand that?

You'd call the deputy?

Not no quicker than a Goddamn cat can lick his ass.

Shit!

Hello.

I sure do like them blue britches.

Where'd you get my Goddamn phone number?

You're a snappy dresser!

Shit.

Listen, Ace. This is why I'm calling:

I want to take you fishing tomorrow.

Heh! What?

I want to take you fishing.

I want to be your friend.

Why don't you just kiss a good man's ass?

[Telephone ringing]

I'm fed up with this bullshit.

Now, what do you want?

I said I want to take you fishing.

Listen. I wouldn't go anywhere with your Goddamn ass.

I guess it's no good asking you to go to Florida, then.

I want a tape recorder similar to something like this baby.

MAN ON PHONE: Looked to me like you made them dark boys mad

waving it around in there, you reckon?

ACE: Why don't you watch where you're going

How come you still got them old blue britches on?

They're getting dirty.

I think you ought to wash them.

Why don't you kiss a good man's ass

and leave me alone, you son of a bitch?

Let go of my staff!

Don't grab my staff!

Let go of the staff,

Well, I got to go to Florida to visit Haywood's grave.

Uh-huh!

You want to come with me?

Why, sure, I do.

We can plant a flower on Haywood's grave.

Got a better idea.

Why don't we plant a tree,

one of those Goddamn big living oak trees?

You want to plant an oak?

Yeah...so I can hang you from it.

Ha ha ha! Huh?

I'd rather plant a flower.

Huh?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

I've had a pretty good last week.

I had to go to Florida for the reading of the will.

What the hell are you talking about?

Haywood's will.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Daddy,

but he didn't leave you nothing.

Kiss my ass, you son of a bitch.

He left me his old record collection.

Hey, you didn't get hurt when that fish hit you, did you?

I rigged that for the deputy, not you.

Go to hell, you bastard.

You're not gonna call that deputy again, are you?

I will, by God,

if you don't leave me alone.

Well, I'm on my car phone,

so you can't trace me now.

You got a phone in your car?

Yeah.

You're just a Goddamn lying son of a bitch.

Wait a minute.

Did you get that picture I brought you

of you and Haywood,

back when you was growing up in Satsuma?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Haywood told me you and him grewed up together.

Fuck you and Haywood.

He said you was as thick as thieves when you was little.

You don't know nothing about nothing.

Haywood wanted me to look after you.

Goddamn it, I can look after myself!

I promised Haywood before he died

I'd look after you.

So that's what I'm gonna do.

I wish you'd have died with the son of a bitch.

Ah, you don't really mean that.

Oh, yes, I do, Goddamn it.

I wish you'd have died and gone to Hell,

you Goddamn motherfucking cocksucking Ethiopian son of a bitch!

That's it. Come on.

Damn you.

Huh?

Your Goddamn head will be eclipsed

if I ever get close enough to you, you son of a bitch.

You gonna watch it?

You're Goddamn right I'm gonna watch it.

Can I come to your boat

and watch the eclipse with you?

Yeah. Yeah, you come on down

so I can kill your fucking ass.

Daddy.

Boy, you ain't got enough sense

to pour piss out of a boot.

You know what time it's gonna start?

Yeah, I know what time it's gonna start.

It's gonna start just as soon as you get there!

Haywood said one time when you was little boys,

he got you a hamster and you named it Pinky.

Shut up, you son of a bitch.

I want you to bring me back my Goddamn guinea pig.

You don't bring that guinea pig back,

I'm gonna get a Goddamn search warrant

and I'm gonna come and I'm gonna find you

and I'm gonna cut your head off

and throw it at your fucking dying ass.

Then I'm gonna piss right down your collar.

Boy, you really said a bunch then, Daddy.

Get lost.

Sweet kid, sweet kid, where is that baby?

Where's my baby? Where's my baby?

[Talking baby talk]

There's my baby.

There's my little girl.

Little sweet, little kid.

There's a nice, little baby.

[Telephone ringing]

[Grunts]

What do you want now?

MAN ON PHONE: [Talking baby talk]

Goddamn you. That's enough, now.

That thing got a name?

Worrying me, you bastard.

It's none of your business.

I don't mean to worry you.

Well, you are.

A man can't get no peace

with a goddamn buzzard like you

around all the time.

I'm sorry.

That's right.

I don't want to worry you no more.

I'll just leave you alone.

That's right, Goddamn you.

Just leave me alone,

or I'll kill your Goddamn ass.

I swear I will.

I'm sorry I upset you when I fed your rat

or your hamster or whatever it is.

Fuck you, son of a bitch.

I'm real sorry.

[Telephone ringing]

Now, no bullshit now. I'm sorry.

You got a rubber neck?

Huh?

I said, have you got a rubber neck?

A rubber neck?

Yeah!

No, I don't reckon.

Well, if you got a Goddamn rubber neck,

you should suck yourself,

and then you can go to hell.

Son of a bitch!

We appreciate it.

Yep, sure do. See you.

[Telephone ringing]

Triple K Marine.

MAN ON PHONE: Please don't hate me.

[Man chuckling]

[Telephone ringing]

Triple K Marine.

MAN ON PHONE: I'm not gonna bother you.

I just want to say I'm sorry.

I'm real sorry.

Damn you, fool!

[Telephone rings]

Triple K Marine.

MAN ON PHONE: I feel bad, Daddy.

Then die. Die, you son of a bitch.

SAMMY: Found it outside the door.

Oh, Ace?

[Door opens]

I've asked you not to smoke them cigarettes in here.

Prick.

"I'm sorry for bringing you pain, Daddy."

ACE: Triple K Marine.

MAN ON PHONE: It's Monday.

Go to hell.

Did you get those presents I put on your boat?

Yeah, I did.

I saw you were wearing them Hush Puppies

I sent to your office on Saturday.

Why don't you get a job or something

and quit watching my ass?

Well, I hope you can use all that stuff.

Yeah, well, all right.

I--I mean, I-- I thank you.

OK. Talk to you later.

I hope you're not still mad at me.

Yeah, well, listen.

Just listen a minute.

I--Just don't be calling me anymore, will you?

I'm--I'm just trying to make a living down here.

OK. Good-bye.

Bye.

[Telephone ringing]

There you go.

Thank you.

Triple K Marine.

MAN ON PHONE: Daddy, does that stuff fit you OK?

Yeah.

Them house shoes fit OK?

Yeah.

How about them pants?

Yeah.

How about that Hawaiian shirt? It fits OK?

Yeah.

Well, I hope I didn't offend you

that I sent you underwear,

but I know how important that can be

to your comfort when you sit at a desk all day.

Ain't you got nothing better to do?

No, not really.

You know, it seems to me that a man in his right mind

can figure out something better to do

than talk on a telephone all day long.

Well, what do you think I should do, Daddy?

You got any tips for me?

Because I don't know what I ought to do.

You ought to get in some kind of mental health program.

Goddamn, they've got them all over the country.

You go down and talk an hour and a half or so a week.

You startbuilding bulding a life.

They have group people that get together.

Goddamn, they got--

The Salvation Army's got some of them.

Well, would you take me down to Salvation Army?

I won't take you nowhere.

That's part of the Goddamn problem!

This Goddamn dependency shit.

Just get away from the telephone.

If you can't get in a Goddamn place

to talk about your mental health,

go out and hustle some pussy.

Just go to a Goddamn beer joint and order a beer,

and pretty soon, some old gal will sit down there beside you!

Well, I appreciate all that good advice.

I'm sorry I upset you. I told you I was sorry.

I don't mean to bother you.

Well, I hope we got something accomplished here!

I think so.

I feel like you really been helping, Daddy.

You're a good Daddy. I want you to know that.

OK. All right. Well, maybe so.

I love you, Daddy.

I hope we did some good here. I love you.

All right.

Goddamn.

Fuck you.

SAMMY: He's on the crapper, ain't he? [Chuckling]

Here he comes.

[Toilet flushes]

Triple K Marine.

MAN ON PHONE: Uh...guess who this is.

Listen. I want to tell you something right now,

you son of a bitch.

Don't you be calling up on no business phone

talking loud and cussing me.

You got that?

I'm sorry, Daddy.

Do you know why I bought you the presents, Daddy?

I don't have the slightest Goddamned idea.

I bought you them presents

because I feel bad about what happened

because I want to be friends with you.

I notice you don't have a lot of friends,

except that rat.

Well, now, just isn't that something?

Why don't you just kiss a good man's ass right up to the red?

You know who I am?

No, I don't know who you are.

You sound like a Goddamn Qaddafi communist

Ayatollah Khomeini motherfucker.

I'm Penrod Barker, Daddy,

your long-lost son.

Goddamn lowlife cocksucking Othiep--

Ethiopian Goddamn ape-headed mouse-eared motherfucker!

Get off the Goddamn motherfucking line!

ACE: Triple K Marine.

PENROD: You got a garden now?

Well, hell, yeah. Have you?

I've always had big melons out of mine.

Never seen melons that big.

Hey, I got a garden here in Boogerville, too.

Where's your garden at?

Well, it's behind my house.

Hey, will you tend it for me when I go back to Florida?

Sure. Sure, I will. Where's your house at?

Out on Graves Road.

You're a damn liar.

Nah, it's out on Graves Road, 213 Graves Road.

You come out and take care of that for me?

Hell, yes, I will.

* I know it's hard to love someone again *

* When somebody has torn you all apart *

* But come on and let yourself go *

* And don't think about it anymore *

* I know there's still a whole lot of loving in your heart *

[Dog barking]

ACE: Triple K Marine.

PENROD: Was you late this morning?

Go to hell, will you?

Did they take you to jail, Daddy?

Look. Quit worrying me.

They gonna fire you?

Yeah, maybe they will.

They don't know--

They--They say I'm not getting enough work done.

I've got to quit tying up this line!

Well, I sure hope they don't fire you, Daddy.

They will if you don't leave me alone!

I'm gonna write a letter to the president of your company

and tell him not to fire you.

You are?

Yeah, I'm gonna tell him not to do that.

Because you is a good man.

And you's my pappy.

Did you get your present?

Yeah, I reckon I did.

You got your cup?

Yes, Goddamn it, I got the cup.

I got that cup for my pappy.

I don't feel like fucking with you.

Son of a bitch.

[Exhales]

Don't feel like fucking with much of anything.

[Telephone ringing]

WOMAN: OK, you got it. Bye.

ACE: Triple K Marine.

Where'd you get them blue britches?

Just leave me alone, will you?

Leave me alone.

I'm begging you, just leave me alone.

I want to ask you something.

Goddamn it, every morning you call!

"I want to ask you something. I want to ask you something!"

Goddamn it, I can't take any more of this!

Where'd you get them powder blue britches?

None of your fucking business.

They give them to you in jail?

I'd like to get me some of them.

Look, leave me alone, you son of a bitch.

I think they're good-looking britches.

Well, why don't you buy some, then,

if you've got the Goddamn money?

Well, I'd like to know where I can get a pair of them.

Did you get them at that store downtown

with all them britches in the windows?

Hello, Mr. Wilson. Good to see you.

[Telephone rings]

ACE: Triple K Marine.

Ooh, I thought that old man was gonna fire you.

No, Goddamn it, he didn't fire me.

I know something you don't know I know.

What?

I know something you don't know I know.

Fuck yourself.

Does that old man know you got a girlfriend?

Go to hell.

She's a mighty dark girl.

Does he know that?

Don't you tell a Goddamn thing to that old man.

I ain't got a girlfriend. Pack of lies.

Goddamn it, I mean it.

Have you seen her naked?

[Camera clicking]

JAMES RAY: * It's been a drag *

Big, fine man. Oh!

Mm-hmm.

Hello there.

[Telephone rings]

Hi, baby. Good to see you.

Hey, how about kissing Dad's ass?

Your girlfriend cut you hair, did she?

Hey, that's none of your Goddamn business.

Don't meet her at that bar in Darkietown, now.

She runs with a mighty rough crowd.

Why don't you just quit worrying about me, you son of a bitch?

Well, excuse me.

I'm just trying to help.

Listen to me, Goddamn it.

I don't know who you are,

and I don't care who you are.

I don't give a shit if you got a PhD.

and teach at Harvard

or if you sleep under a Goddamn bridge.

I don't care if you send me shoes or what!

Now, Daddy. Daddy.

I want you to leave me alone! Daddy!

Shut up, now! You hear?

Yes, Daddy.

Listen to me. This is important.

I'm asking you man to man to please leave me alone.

I'm begging you.

Please don't be calling me no more.

I imagine you're dressing up.

Haywood said you used to get all dolled up

for a date.

He said when you dolled yourself up,

you used to shave your private parts.

Ow!

You still do that, Daddy?

Damn!

Be careful down in Darkietown, Daddy.

I mean it. Bad things happen there.

Don't call me no more!

Yoo-hoo! Hi, baby.

PENROD: Evening, sir.

Wasn't there to clean me.

I don't think I look nothing like you.

[Snoring]

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Hey, wake up, Sambo.

What's that on your face?

ACE: Triple K Marine.

PENROD: Did you have a good time on your date

last night?

You went too far this time,

you mule-dicking Ethiopian son of a bitch.

I hear Ethiopia is a pretty place, Daddy.

What's your problem with it, huh?

SAMMY: Mayday. Mayday.

I'm gonna kill you just as soon as I find you.

Well, I'll be here,

because Haywood said you needed looking after.

He tried to help you out when you was back over at Camp Nagel there.

I never been to no Camp Nagel...

with nobody named Haywood.

Well, Haywood said he helped you out

when he was your friend, Daddy.

Hey, Sambo.

You know I'm gonna have to kill you.

Hey, Sambo!

I'm gonna have to kill you,

or I'm not ever gonna have another Goddamn day's peace

as long as days that I live.

I want to be your friend.

I'm gonna have to kill you.

I want to be your friend!

I'm thinking of getting you a hunting dog for your birthday.

I want you to get me a Goddamn hunting dog,

and I'm gonna track you down with that Goddamn dog,

and I'll take your Goddamn head off of you...

Aww...you don't mean that, Daddy.

You son of a bitch, I've got to kill you.

You're dead! You're dead!

You feel something around your throat,

ACE: Triple K Marine.

PENROD: Daddy, how come you wore a lady's stocking

on your head last night?

So I could get your license number,

find your ass, and kill you.

Did you get it?

Damn right, I did.

You went up to that bait shop

where I used to stay?

Damn straight.

Did you get my license number out of that ledger book?

Heh heh heh!

That's right, you bastard.

I'm coming after you right now.

Oh, no!

Oh, I'd better paint my car and hide it

so you can't find it.

Heh heh heh!

He's conscious.

Go ahead. Gonna give him some oxygen.

Get me a pressure if you can, will you?

Got it.

[Telephone ringing]

Yeah.

PENROD: Boy...

You really did.

Yeah, I'd have...

I'd have beat you up if you'd have been there.

Heh. Heh.

I would have done a number on you.

Yeah, I seen that, so I stayed away.

You feeling OK?

Called them doctor boys because I was worried about your pumper.

They take care of you, did they,

give you some oxygen?

I warned you about them biscuits and gravy.

Go to hell, you worthless son of a bitch.

Well, before Haywood died, I told him

I'd keep an eye on you,

and that's what I'm doing.

Them boils on your neck look like they hurt you.

I think you ought to see a doctor about them.

Go suck yourself, rubber dick.

* Walk on gilded splinters *

* Walk to me, get it, come, come *

* Walk on gilded splinters *

* Till I burn up... *

How are you at swimming, Daddy?

I hope you can swim.

[Grunting]

Oh, don't let your rat drown, Daddy.

I see why Ace is so taken with you.

Do me a favor.

Run this over to Ace's boss old man Wilson

at Triple K Marine?

Why, sure, honey.

Here's a little something for your trouble.

[Telephone ringing]

Ha ha ha!

Triple K Marine.

PENROD: It's awful sad about your boat.

Where are you gonna live now, Daddy?

It's none of your Goddamn business.

You carry insurance?

That's none of your business.

That's a shame.

Haywood used to say insurance, credit,

and a last will and testament

most important things in life.

Who are you, Goddamn it?

Please tell me.

I've got to know.

Told you 100 times,

I'm Penrod Barker, your long-lost son.

I don't have no son.

WILSON: There'll be no depravity in this establishment.

Is that understood?

Oh, how you doing, Mr. Wilson?

[Telephone ringing]

[Sigh]

Triple K Marine.

PENROD: Daddy?

Listen.

Will you leave me alone, Goddamn it?

I'm trying to drink a cup of coffee.

I'm trying to keep this job.

Leave me alone.

Hey, I wrote a letter to the president of your company.

He get it yet?

How the hell do I know?

That old man don't talk to me.

Let's go house hunting this weekend.

Go to hell, Goddamn you.

You need a friend, Daddy.

Let me be your friend.

Leave me alone!

No, I just want to know,

do you ever think about Mama?

Whose mama?

My mama.

I don't know that whore.

She wasn't no whore, Daddy.

You remember her, don't you?

She's dead, Daddy.

She died a long time ago.

People die!

Yeah. Truer words was never spoke, Daddy.

What was your favorite feature of Mama's?

Go to hell!

She had real pretty teeth,

real white ones.

That's what I remember best.

I don't know nothing about no Goddamn white teeth.

Course, I only seen her in pictures.

What are you talking about?

You don't remember her teeth?

I don't remember a Goddamn thing about her!

Really, Daddy?

Look. I've fucked a lot of whores in my time.

Maybe I fucked your mother, maybe I didn't.

I don't know.

You're a mean man, Daddy.

You was mean to my mama.

[All chanting, "Go!"

[Grunting]

BILLY PRESTON: * Sweet land of liberty *

You still don't remember her?

I didn't want to hurt nobody.

Oh, you do remember her, don't you, Daddy?

* Land where my father died *

* Land of... *

What do you want from me?

I want you to know how Haywood and my mama felt.

[Voices whispering]

Leave me alone, will you?

I'm begging.

You shouldn't hurt people like that, Daddy.

[Voices whispering]

[Woman squeals]

[Whispering continues]

* Zu Zu Mamou *

* Ooh, ooh *

* Ooh, ooh *

* Ooh, ooh *

* Ooh, ooh... *

How do I know I am your daddy?

How do you know that, boy?

Because Mama died when I was born, Daddy.

She seen how white I was,

white like you.

I believe that's what killed her.

She--she died?

That's right, Daddy.

You was gone from that camp.

Then Haywood seen what you done,

so he was nice to Mama.

He married her.

And then later when she died,

he brought me up all by hisself.

Poor Haywood.

What, Daddy?

MAN: Yeah, let me have another dance. Ha ha ha!

Whoo-hoo!

[Laughter]

I think you look better like that.

Hey, come on, Ace!

Come take your nigger...

Ha ha ha!

ACE'S VOICE: Get that thing away from me!

PENROD: Daddy?

What do you want now?

I'm gonna be leaving now.

Good.

That's good.

Ain't you got nothing to say to me?

Yeah, I got something to say to you.

Get fucked, you nigger son of a bitch.

You ain't got no friends, Daddy.

I feel sorry for you.

Go to hell.

That dark man that cut your hair,

he's your friend.

You treat him bad just like Haywood.

I told you I don't know no Haywood.

Yeah. What you did to Mama?

You's a snake.

Fucked a lot of whores.

You a sorry old man.

[Dial tone]

Have you got a Goddamned...

rubber neck?

Maybe you ought to have a Goddamn rubber neck.

FEMALE VOICE: Please hang up and try your call again.

So you can suck yourself.

Please hang up. This is a recording.

A goddamn nigger's ass is the blackest.

That's whose ass is the blackest.

Ha ha ha!

I'll put my hickory stick up next to your Goddamn head.

That nigger didn't want to buy a Goddamn boat, anyway.

I'm gonna cut your Goddamn head off

and shit down your collar.

How would you like that, huh?

Hey! You left my dinner!

Round steak.

[Laughing]

PENROD: It ain't worth it.

You're just an old fool.

Here. Choke on it.

Mmm.

That's good.

That's good!

Mmm.

It don't need no mustard or anything else on it.

It's good just like this.

Just like this, it's good.
