:46:02
and yet, here you have
12 able-bodied men who want jobs.
:46:05
They want to work!
:46:07
-I also said...
-Tom.
:46:08
Not now, Jack.
:46:12
I also said that we can't hire
Negroes. The whites would quit.
:46:16
That's a chance we have to take.
:46:18
Let's go out back.
:46:20
You think if you take
all the Negroes off the island
:46:24
the old lady will be stranded
and will have to leave too?
:46:28
It might work out that way.
:46:30
You're heading into trouble with
the townsfolk. Our customs is...
:46:35
Look, this is TVA.
:46:38
We're new,
we don't have any customs yet.
:46:41
I'm going to hire those men
:46:43
and every man, black or white,
gets paid the same.
:46:47
Mr. Glover, I predict your next
visit will be from Mr. Moore.
:46:51
We'd like a few words.
My name's Sy Moore.
:46:57
Mr. Moore...
:47:00
Come on in.
What can I do for you?
:47:03
Thank you. Now Mr. Glover,
we've come here to help you.
:47:07
-Mr. Todd is President of our bank.
-Just fine.
:47:10
And Mr. Thompson,
he's our undertaker,
:47:12
also runs a furniture store,
very highly respected.
:47:16
I'm just a plain business man.
:47:18
Won't you sit down?
:47:20
I tell you this so you'll know
who you're talking with.
:47:24
You might say we're the responsibles
of the town.
:47:27
I see and you're here
to tell me that
:47:32
if I hire Negroes
the whites will quit, is that it?
:47:38
Why, not at all.
What makes you think that?
:47:42
Sorry.
:47:43
Just have to keep them
in separate gangs.
:47:46
Keeping them...
:47:47
In separate gangs.
:47:53
All right. I will do that.
:47:57
We were sure you would.
:47:59
Now Mr. Glover,
how much you planning to pay them?
