- You got a job, a wife, a son...
- A job!

:48:02
I open and close car doors all day.
:48:05
I drive a man in his limousine,
and I say...

:48:07
..."Yes, sir" and "No, sir"
and "Shall I take the drive, sir?"

:48:10
That ain't no kind of job.
That ain't nothing at all.

:48:14
- I don't know if you can understand.
- Understand what?

:48:18
It's like I can see my future
just stretched out in front of me.

:48:22
My whole future. A big, blank,
empty space full of nothing...

:48:26
...just hanging at the edge of my days,
waiting for me.

:48:30
But it don't have to be.
:48:33
Sometimes, when I'm downtown
driving that man around...

:48:36
...we pass them cool,
quiet-Iooking restaurants.

:48:38
I look in.
:48:40
I see these white boys.
They're sitting, talking...

:48:43
...about deals
worth millions of dollars...

:48:47
...and they look no older than me.
:48:48
How come you talk
so much about money?

:48:51
Because it's life!
:48:54
So now money is life?
:48:57
Once, freedom used to be life.
:48:59
But now it's money.
:49:00
It was always money.
We just didn't know it.

:49:05
Something's changed.
:49:06
You're something new, boy.
:49:08
In my time, we was worried
about not being lynched...

:49:10
...and getting North and staying alive
and still have dignity too.

:49:14
Now you and Beneatha talk about things
we ain't never thought about.

:49:18
You ain't satisfied
or proud of nothing we done.

:49:20
I mean, that you had a home...
:49:22
...and that we kept you
out of trouble...

:49:25
...and that you don't have to ride on
the back of nobody's streetcar.

:49:28
You're my children,
but how different we've become.

:49:34
You don't understand.
:49:38
You don't understand.
