Look at your baby, see baby, see baby.

Hey Pierce.

Come see my sister's baby.

What kind of friend are you if you don't want to see my sister's baby?

I gotta go see Soldier's mother.

Soldier's mother sick?

No but I gotta get over there and back before my mother leaves.

Oh boy come on. You got something against my sister or something?

You got more excuses. Come on.

Pick her up. She's too little.

Pick her up. I might hurt her, break her.

Haven't you ever held a baby before? Nope.

Who's the daddy? You can be if you want to.

I don't need no responsibilities.

You make me sick. I wish there was some way I didn't have to deal with men.

Look, I came over here to see a baby...

not to be insulted behind somebody else's dirt.

There's a bright side to everything.

Can you run to the store for me? Get some milk and cigarettes please.

I don't mean to be mean. I told you I gotta go see Soldier's mother.

Please, it's just round the corner.

Hello Pierce.

There's something I had to tell you but I forgot.

I guess it wasn't that important then huh?

Do you um... do you... Do I what?

Never mind, i'll ask you later when my mind is better because I forgot.

You not gonna say goodbye? Bye.

Come in.

Hello Ms Richards.

You think Soldier will ever act his age and stay out of trouble?

He wrote me a letter.

Said, when he gets out of jail this time he said he ain't going back.

He even asked me to look for him a job.

Ms Richards, you know Soldier may get into trouble...

but he's never done anything that was evil or vicious.

I mean he's never sold dope.

He's nothing like these kids walking the streets today.

And if you look at it, Soldier and I are pretty much alike.

You and you're brother never got into trouble and...

your brother's getting married. Yeah, he's getting married.

He's marrying a girl who's parents got a lot of money.

Old man's a doctor. She just don't seem real.

I mean, she's always talking about how lucky she was when she was a kid.

You're his best friend, and if you can influence him...

to do the right thing and stay out of trouble...

if you do that for me, I will forever be in your debt.

You don't have to worry Ms Richards, I promise you...

i'll do whatever I can to keep him out of trouble.

Hello Pierce.

Pierce, be sure to mark in all the specials and keep them seperate.

And then mark in the rest of the clothes...

so we can get started first thing in the morning.

See what your mother can do with those. Tell her those are my...

church-going trousers and I have to have those back right away.

Ma. Yes son?

Mr Biddefield is in. He wants you to fix these.

Just tell him we'll fix 'em, and just throw 'em in the trash.

When he comes back, we'll tell him they got lost...

and we'll give him a pair of those unclaimed pants.

Why don't you come back tomorrow. My boy...

you don't mind me calling you boy do you?

Young people seem to rarely give a damn what an old person has to say.

But my boy, I got a piece of good advice for you.

You marry someone just like your mother.

She works miracles.

Pierce, have you had your hands on my prayerbook?

Here it is. When you get old, everything happens to your memory.

Oh both of you act your age. You're too old to be carrying on so.

Can I help you? I'm looking for work and...

I was wondering maybe if you may have some work you need done here.

I'm sorry, but there's no work here.

I've got two grown men out back that do everything.

Yes well, thank you anyway. Sure.

I got two grown men acting like fools.

Son, never underestimate an old man.

Forgot your hat.

You ought not to do your father's hat like that.

That was your brother on the phone...

he's coming by and bring his sweet little girlfriend.

That sweetness you call is about as fake as a $3 bill.

Don't you act ugly in front of her tonight...

and don't say one word out of place.

Don't worry, I don't have to be there.

You'll be there, because I want her to see that you can be civilised.

And what do you have against her anyway?

Coz she's bragging all the time how she's had this and she's had that...

how she's been spoonfed all her life living way up on sugar hill.

Bragging that her daddy's big whatjamajig.

Wendell ought to marry somebody he knows, from around here.

I thought you had some kind of sense, but know I don't know.

Help me with these clothes dammit.

You have to go over to big mama's and big daddy's...

and see if they need anything and pick up my pot from aunt Hattie.

Where's my mother's pot?

I know you have better manners than that, walking in here without speaking.

You act like you own the place. I'm sorry.

I guess I was kinda in a rush. That's no excuse for bad manners.

I was trying to hurry on before Wendell came.

Do you want a bag for this?

No, thanks.

How you big mama? I'm just hanging on son, hanging on.

I wish I could stay, I gotta run.

How are you doing Mr Munday?

You know, I always wanted girls, but the lord gave me boys, well...

I guess you have to be satisfied with what you got.

Bet you have a lot to be thankful for.

Why no Peirce, I used to have a lot of things to worry about

I had to worry about my grades, whether people liked me, and oh...

I have two older brothers, I had to compete with them too.

Tell me, they teach you how to pick cotton in charm school?

Why no Pierce, charm school taught young ladies how to be ladies and...

how to be charming in the presence of gentlemen.

And did you know that a man's worth in measure was once determined

by the amount of cotton he chopped in a day?

And how much cotton have you chopped Pierce?

Has Pierce been giving you any more of his mess?

Why no, I was just telling Pierce...

that if it wasn't for his brother I'd be marrying him.

Is my brother trying to steal my girl already?

My secretary's typing up a list of names...

so anyone you wish to add for the reception, call her.

When are you going to have a secretary?

I'm sure as soon as Pierce makes up his mind...

as to what he's going to be he's going to be quite successful.

I got them in church, if I can only live to see them settle down...

and raise a family, I will have done my job...

and the lord can call me onto glory.

I've got just this one between me and a full life.

Don't blame me for your problems.

Who else am I to blame? You ungrateful thing.

If it wasn't for me and your papa making all those sacrifices...

trying to give you the best we could. You're just as thankless as you can be.

I'm not thankless. -You shouldn't be talking about the best man like that.

Pierce you ought to say goodbye to them before they go.

You alright?

Is Pierce retarded? Just ghettoised.

Give us this day...

our daily bread.

Pierce, up front please.

Yes ma. -He can't remember what name he used on the ticket.

You can't find your ticket? No, I don't know where it is.

See I think two week, two months ago, I put some clothes in...

could've used the name of Bob Walter.

Why'd you wait so long to pick your clothes up? -Just got the money.

I don't see it. The last time you used the name of Jack Ace.

Look under the name of Corn.

You picked those up already.

I don't know why we have to keep track of all your aliases and whatnot.

People wouldn't ever change their name if they weren't up to some dirt.

Well lady i'm tired of coming in here and you giving me trouble.

Would you know what they look like? I believe I do.

Come in.

Let me know when you find it.

How are you Pierce? Where you going all dressed up?

Oh me all dressed up, this is just some things I threw on.

You notice anything different about me?

No. I 'orsed my eyebrows.

You ever brought shoes that you didn't like?

These make my legs look different.

You ever been to a prom?

In a couple of years I have my prom, I was thinking, if you weren't busy...

they're young anyway.

These could be them, i'm not sure.

I remember what I was saying, i'd like for you to take me to the prom.

That's if I don't have stomach cramp.

I'm going to see Smokey Robinson tonight and I better go get dressed up.

Pierce, you gotta go round to big daddy's...

coz Hattie wants to go out tonight and be with the people...

and no telling what time she'll return.

Please don't start that mess.

I'm counting the days.

I promise you, that when Soldier gets out of jail this time...

he ain't going back.

How you doing? Can you do me a favour?

Sure whatever. Could you give Soldier a job?

If you wanted a job yeah but Soldier... no lord.

I'm sorry, Soldier, no. Thanks.

Hey Bob, I was wondering if you could do me a favour?

Yeah Pierce anything. Good.

You know Soldier's getting out of jail, right?

That's too bad. That's one fella they should keep in jail til he rots.

Yeah Pierce, what was that you wanted to ask me?

Nothing really.

Hey, you made it.

What time did the bus get in? I got here a half hour ago.

I had to catch the bus too. What happened to your car?

Somebody put some sugar in the gas tank and the motor froze.

Schoolboys.

Let's go, let's go this way.

What are you doing crying? I'm coming to stay.

My girl starts to cry when I come home.

Ain't that something.

I'm coming to stay.

Finish eating your food.

Who's your girlfriend now?

Who is it. It's Walter.

Who did you say you are? Yes, good evening. Is Pierce in?

Tell him we're out in the car. Thank you very much, good evening.

That was some of your friends outside.

See what your friend did? Look at his face, look at it.

Your friend is sick, sick.

And you tell him i'm loooking for him, i'm loooking for him. I'll kill him.

What do you want me to do?

What did he do to him?

I don't know what he hit me for.

I just wanted a friendly conversation and...

Look, we just come by here to let you know...

to tell you so that you could tell your friend...

before somebody shoots his ass.

What's the matter?

Is Soldier managing to stay out of trouble these days?

I... haven't... seen him do anything.

Everytime I see you you got a different woman.

Hey you know me, I got to have a different woman.

What happened to Londell? - Who? -Londell.

He was killed robbing a liquor store.

Where is everybody, where is everyone?

It's you and me.

It's you and me.

My stomach hurts, it's no fun being a woman.

I went to see Smokey Robinson last night.

Do you think Billy Dee Williams is pretty?

I don't like mean too cute.

Yes my darling, do you have clothes to pick up?

Why I would think you'd be home watching 'Howdy Doody'.

Are you ready for your bath? I got to go pee first.

Why didn't you raise up the toilet seat before you peed on it?

Who? You.

Them boys did that. What boys?

You and Wendell, you don't even clean up your room.

I can't you and him to come out and cut the grass.

Big Mama. Who put that blue stuff in your hair?

My hair.

Oh, my hairdresser do what she wants to do with my hair.

I don't have nothing to say about how I look.

I wouldn't trust you to give me a shave.

I'll give you two bits if you shine my shoes.

Will you take these house shoes off and put these on.

You don't want to wear those right now. -Why can't I?

Your feet are swollen.

Which reminds me, it's time for you guys' medicine.

Can I help you? -Yeah, I left some clothes here I gotta pick up.

Well do you have a ticket? No I lost it, I dropped it someplace.

You two together?

If you got something to do don't keep waiting.

I think we got the wrong cleaners ma'am.

What happened? Man.

She had us covered man.

Bullshit. -Hey girl, don't you talk to me like that.

Say punk, give me the gun. Who you calling a punk.

Hey give me the gun man, give me... I said be quiet.

Don't hurt my baby.

Hey man, you ever get in Barbara's draws? -Na.

It's ok for Sheila to cheat on her husband to be with you...

but it's not ain't for you to cheat on Sheila. Man you are weird.

Pierce.

Pierce, i've just seen him.

Got a letter from Boise.

He's got the neuralgia.

Been to the doctor and he can't work.

Well I guess that means he wants me to send him some money.

He's got those great big old grown boys there, why don't they find a job?

The Christian thing to do is to always help those in need.

If they made cotton like they did whatever's growing up there...

there would be jobs for everybody.

And these people, who are always in trouble and on dope.

You put them out there and some Mississippi cotton field...

in the hot sun, and make them pick 500lbs or cotton a day...

and work their arse off like a Georgian mule.

That's the way old folks talk.

Old people used to tell us "Boy, you better mind how you walk...

there's trouble ahead of you and your days are numbered. "

I saw the wedding dress today, it was so beautiful.

It's the prettiest dress i've ever seen in my life.

I wish I could live parts of my life over.

Pierce, please don't embarrass me tonight.

I don't feel like going. -After this wedding you can do whatever you wish.

But i'm gonna tell you this one thing...

her family was nice enough to invite us to dinner...

and you young man are going to show your respect.

I didn't raise any heathens, you're going to be at your brother's side...

at his wedding and those the only two facts of life I know right know.

I don't like those people. -What on earth do you have against them?

I just don't like those people. You must have some reason.

I can like and dislike who I please.

She parks her expensive car outside. People gonna think we have money.

And break in and rob us.

She walks around here signifying.

I don't like people who've had it easy all their lives.

Never had any worries.

Son, will you let me take you to see Dr Jackson and let him take a look at you?

I know there is only one god, one father, one divine power...

that power is with us now, I thank you father for this food...

and for these new relationships and so it is, amen.

Is something wrong with the wine Mr Munday?

I would've like to have had something stronger.

Something like Ol' Grande.

Wine's fine, he don't need nothing else.

Well now, if you would like something else, whatever it is, I can get it.

He's fine. I wish I was in your shoes.

Pierce, are you feeling alright?

Pierce, what sort of work do you do?

I went to school to be a heavy equipment operator.

Nobody told me that everybody was going to school to be the same thing.

I drove a seaman truck until the strike.

I was a brakeman at the railroad.

I drove explosives.

And all sorts of dangerous material.

Mother, will you pass me the cheese please.

How come you didn't want to be a lawyer like your brother.

I don't have the smarts for that kinda thing.

You see, I like working with my hands.

What is this salad made of? Maria, what's in the...

Que este in la salada or whatever you call it?

I think what she's saying is what you think is an apple is a potato

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are you finished?

I'm glad you don't have to crack these things with your teeth.

It would've been heavenly if one of my sons could've been a lawyer

and the other a doctor like your two children.

Doctors and lawyers.

Biggests crooks in the world.

Getting full of steaks of other people's blood.

No, I wouldn't go as far as to call all doctors crooks.

Lawyers and mechanics, there you have a wall that's tight.

Young man, if you're looking for real corruption, look at politics.

All I know is, the higher up you go, the lower the people you find.

That's a nice paradox. You'll have to excuse my brother...

he has a very romantic view of the have-nots.

Sonia, how did your trial work out? We won.

Tell us how you did it.

Well, the prosecution was in a hurry to present its case.

It seems that his wife was in the hospital giving birth...

so it was back and forth to the hospital.

Anyway, the judge was retiring right after this case...

so he couldn't have been happier for a short trial.

So I kind of let my client know...

that any delays would be in his best interest.

The next thing I know...

he came down with stomach pains and couldn't even walk.

The moment we got into court...

the prosecuting attorney threw the case to the jury.

Someone should've taken a baseball bat with a towel upside his head

Hush. -When you're fighting for a man's life...

you get to know a man as a person.

What about the dead girl?

Excuse me, i'll be right back. Excuse me for a minute.

This has been a very interesting evening, i've enjoyed you all.

We're so glad you invited us, we had a lovely evening.

Any time. Thank you so much.

Not at all. Thank you.

Pierce, come on sweetheart let's go.

Thanks.

Did someone say anything? I didn't hear nothing.

You really showed your ass tonight. You acted so ugly, I was so ashamed.

You need to be locked up somewheres. You want me to hold him while you hit him?

Today must be my lucky day huh? What do you mean?

I mean three pregnant women in a row coming in here...

one right after another, must signify something.

How old are you? I'm thirty.

Thirty, and you're not married yet? Nope.

So what are you waiting for?

As soon as I can find a woman who has a 9 to 5...

who can cook and bring home all the money baby.

Give me my clothes, I don't have time to waste on fools.

Hey lady, your son has got a serious problem.

I wished that was all he had!

Everybody knows what you been doing.

What's happening? Ain't nothing.

I hear you. See this don't you?

This my baby here. How you doing Mrs Munday?

Soldier, you been out of jail all this time...

and just not come round to say something?

I been doing fine, I been real busy looking for a job.

Well I haven't got time to talk about you...

and your bad manners, i'm late for prayer meeting.

So how long she gonna be gone?

They'll be a couple of hours before...

they get the whooping and howling out their hair.

Do me a favour. Anything.

I wanna show her something in private.

Your friend's sick. Baby.

Come on. -Let's go to a motel, i'll pay for it.

Listen, I ain't got time now.

My johns is too heavy. Don't be such an animal.

Pierce, come here for a minute.

Hey old buddy, bring me a big tall glass of water.

Alright, thanks.

What is this?

Pierce.

Pierce, my baby got a headache, bring that aspirin.

And bring some more water.

I'll be right back, won't take me but five minutes.

Pastor Isaiah is always saying, we can't remember nothing.

Oh my god, Soldier what...

My goodness Soldier, what are you doing?

Hey, get your butt here. Wait a minute.

Go on, you've done enough damage to your mother.

Come on.

Hey, i'm really sorry ok?

Oh Angela, would you do me a favour?

Would you go around the corner and tell Pierce i'm waiting for him.

What's that you got in your pocket?

I ain't got nothing in my pocket but listen here...

i'm ready to go, i'm tired of waiting on Pierce...

besides, where we're going, we don't need three.

Oh really? Really.

Are you gonna run around and tell Pierce that Soldier boy wants him?

I'm nobody's messenger boy.

What are you doing? I'm showing her how to swallow them.

Thank you. Where's...

She's in the room. She got company? -No.

Boy, would you be upset if I asked you to turn off that TV...

otherwise it'll play all day. It's the devil's work.

What? That TV.

Do you ever asked any of your friends whether they're saved or not?

No. -Your friend Soldier, does he have religion?

Why do you want to know if Soldier's saved?

He just ran across my mind.

You got time to read to us?

Any place?

26. Psalms.

"Judge me o Lord, for I have walked in my integrity...

I have trusted also in the Lord, therefore I shall not slide.

I have hated the congregation of the evil doers and will not sit with wicked.

Gather not my soul with sinners nor my life with bloody men.

As for me, I walk in my integrity. "

Go on. -"The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?

If I ascended up into heaven, thou art there...

If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

If I say "Surely the darkness will cover me"...

even the night shall be light about me.

But the night shines as the day...

both the darkness and the light are both alike unto you. "

Terrence wake up, wake up Terrence, come on wake up, wake up.

3, 4, 5.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Let's check him.

Still haven't got anything. Let's go again.

Let's check him again.

I don't believe we have anything. Wrap him up.

Have you seen Pierce? No.

Tell me about the party the other night man.

Ok, this chick that came up to me, I guess she'd like me for a while

Soldier, Soldier's dead, Soldier's dead.

Hello operator, i'd like to make an emergency call to...

Natchez, Mississippi, the number is 295- 8396.

Thank you operator.

Hello, who's this?

Hello auntie, Soldier's dead.

Well, she's taking it a lot better than I expected.

Yes, i'll call you. I think it'll be this saturday.

Yes, God take care of you too.

If aught but death part thee and me.

On duty come here, you've been like a son.

I'll see my boy again, for we will dwell in the house of the lord forever.

You know death comes in twos and threes.

I'm sorry but... viewing hours are over, ok?

Pierce.

I heard the bad news but those things happen.

This is nice.

You got to be kidding.

Is this apartment for rent? -Yeah but it's cheaper to live in Beverley Hills.

You know I came by to see if you'd be a pallbearer.

I ain't got nothing else to do.

Come in, the door's open.

How you all doing? I heard about your buddy.

Gene, you better be still. Ok baby.

I was wondering if you could be a pallbearer.

We been working seven days a week, eleven hour shifts...

remember the guy today, I couldn't leave work. So i'm sorry.

Daddy, Pierce is at the door. Tell him to come in sugar.

Come in Pierce.

Just in time for supper. No, I wish I could but...

my stomach's been bothering me lately, thanks anyway.

Don't be like that, the kids ate.

I'm just gonna fix you a small plate, just eat a little.

I thought we'd eat like white folks tonight.

You um... do you think you could be a pallbearer this Saturday?

Saturday, Saturday.

Ain't your brother getting married this Saturday?

You missed the rehearsal. When is the wedding, Saturday?

Ok you have to change the wedding, you see because the funeral is Saturday.

You better stop this bullshit. Excuse me ma.

I ain't having nothing to do with that boy's death.

And I got plans and it don't include the dead.

I'm getting married Saturday on time.

Please, Sonia.

I wanna ask a favour of you, please.

Sonia can you change your wedding date? -What?

Another time even. Do it early in the morning...

or later in the evening, please. You wanna ask me for a favour?

You've never tried to be nice to me.

You've insulted my parents, me, everybody.

You've never even spoken to me without being rude and...

now after all those remarks about my middle-class this and...

my middle-class that you wanna ask me for a favour...

I don't care anymore.

I want you to change your wedding day.

You, live under my roof without paying rent...

and when you was out of work I didn't say a word...

and i've never asked you for a favour, but i'm calling in my debts now.

You promised me you'd be best man at your brother's wedding...

and i'm holding you to it.

I'll take care of this.

Son, you got everybody upset.

This thing's been planned for over a year now.

The invitation's been sent out...

the honeymoon trip has been planned right after.

Do you understand what you're doing?

You know something might happen where they might even change the funeral...

you never know about these things.

You know, they might just change the funeral.

Pierce, come in. Have a seat.

This day is killing me. All the relative's coming in and all.

Were you going to say something?

Oh here I am. Lovely.

And this is great.

You know i'm glad we got this and not other one.

You're not nervous? No.

Come here. Where you been? We been looking all over for you.

You got to have your picture taken with your brother.

I already had it taken. You couldn't have already had your picture taken.

The cameraman just got here. Look i'm supposed to be at a funeral.

You find somebody else to be the best man.

Where is that ring? It's right here. I gotta go.

Oh no, you must be kidding. And look at your clothes.

Go somewhere and comb your...

Go plant yourself somewhere, and don't you move until this is all over with.

I don't understand this, I just don't undertsnd it.

I'm sorry everyone, there will be a slight delay.

You see Sonia's favourite uncle is coming from outta town for the wedding and...

my husband's gone to pick him up now and they should be here any moment.

Excuse me, excuse me. Papa, I gotta go.

Can't you wait a few minutes longer?

It's gonna start anytime now, just trust me.

How long is it gonna take? It's not gonna take long.

Trust me.

Welcome, you're one of us now. It's wonderful to have you in the family.

Hey, let me use your car. My car why? For what?

Don't ask me for what, just give me your keys.

Sure, it's round back. Doesn't have much gas in it though.

Where is your son? I don't know.

My wife went out to look for him. This is ridiculous.
