:07:03
What's he want to do?
:07:04
Carry groceries after school
at the supermarket.
:07:06
Let him go. It's good for him
to be business-minded.
:07:10
I have to.
She won't give me the 50 cents.
:07:14
Why not?
:07:15
Because we don't have it.
:07:16
What do you tell the boy
things like that for?
:07:20
Here you are, son.
:07:22
In fact...
:07:24
...here's another 50 cents.
Get some fruit or take a cab to school.
:07:28
Hot dog!
:07:35
I think you better get down
and go to school.
:07:37
Okay.
:07:39
Bye.
:07:44
That's my boy.
:07:53
Know what I was thinking
this morning?
:07:55
I know what you was thinking,
and I won't hear it again.
:07:56
I know what you was thinking,
and I won't hear it again.
:07:58
About what me and Willie Harris
talked about.
:08:01
Willie Harris is
a good-for-nothing loudmouth.
:08:03
Anybody who'd talk to me
has to be a good-for-nothing loudmouth.
:08:08
Charlie Atkins was one too.
Wanted me to go into business with him.
:08:13
Now his dry cleaners grosses
$100,000 a year. $100,000 a year.
:08:17
Still a loudmouth
good-for-nothing.
:08:19
Oh, Walter Lee!
:08:22
You're tired, ain't you, baby?
You oh so tired of everything.
:08:26
Me, the boy, the way we live
in this beat-up hole. Everything.
:08:29
Moaning and groaning.
:08:30
But you wouldn't help.
You couldn't be on my side, could you?
:08:33
Please, leave me alone.
:08:35
A man needs a woman to back him.
Mama would listen to you...
:08:38
...more than me and Bennie.
:08:40
All you do is sit down with her
one morning...
:08:43
...when you're having coffee
and talking like you do.
:08:45
Just say that you've been thinking
about this deal...
:08:48
...Walter Lee's so interested in
about the store.
:08:51
Sip at your coffee
like it ain't important to you.
:08:53
Soon, she's listening good
and asking questions.
:08:56
I come home.
I fill in the details.
:08:57
Please, leave me alone.
:08:59
This ain't no
fly-by-night operation.
