:18:01
Yes, sir, Mr Gifford.
:18:06
- Sam, I'd like to go home now.
- I thought you wanted to see the croppers.
:18:10
- Why do you talk that way?
- What way?
:18:13
The way you talked to those people.
:18:15
- You mean there's another way?
- There must be.
:18:17
Not if you want to stay
in the cotton business.
:18:24
I don't see why you're upset
about sharecroppers.
:18:27
Think they like bein' treated that way?
:18:29
- I never heard 'em complain.
- Maybe you weren't there when they did.
:18:32
My family's had croppers for over 100 years.
They do the only thing they know how to do.
:18:38
They're happy with what they can get. That's
the way it's always been and always will be.
:18:43
Meanwhile they're lazy.
They have to be keptjumpin'.
:18:45
And they have to be kept in their place.
:18:48
Oh, now, honey, there's just no sense
in us arguing about it like this.
:18:52
Sam, I'm seein' a side of you
I never saw before.
:18:55
You're just seein' my business side.
I can explain the whole thing in five minutes.
:19:00
Explain 100 years in five minutes?
The way you treat those people...
:19:04
I treat 'em the same way
my father and grandfather did.
:19:07
As though they were animals
or farm machinery?
:19:10
They're human beings, Sam.
Can't you understand that? Human beings.
:19:13
- I know what they are.
- I don't think you do.
:19:17
I don't even think you know
what you are yourself.
:19:21
I thought I did, but now I'm not so sure.
:19:24
The man I'm seein' this afternoon
is not the man I saw this mornin'.
:19:28
Oh, now, wait a minute, Jenny.
Nobody made you come with me.
:19:32
Now I'm sorry I did,
because I didn't enjoy it at all.
:19:36
I was brought up to be polite to everybody,
:19:39
and I don't think that business
gives anyone a right to be rude.
:19:42
If that's the way businessmen act,
then I'm glad I'm a woman.
:19:48
- So am I.
- (sighs)
:19:50
You don't care what I say, do you?
:19:53
Well, this woman doesn't want
to see you again the whole rest of the day.
