1:42:01
At this moment,
you decide to be romantic.
1:42:06
Dear young creature
of the New World...
1:42:09
...I don't mean across the city.
I mean across the ocean. Home.
1:42:13
To Africa.
1:42:18
You mean to Nigeria?
1:42:22
"Three hundred years later, the African
prince rose up out of the sea...
1:42:26
...and swept the maiden back
across the middle passage...
1:42:29
...over which her ancestors had come."
1:42:31
- Nigeria?
- Nigeria. Home.
1:42:34
I'll show you our mountains
and our stars...
1:42:37
...and serve you
cool drinks from gourds...
1:42:39
...and teach you the old songs...
1:42:41
...and the ways of our people.
1:42:43
And in time, we'll pretend
that you've only been away for a day.
1:42:51
You're making me...
1:42:53
You're getting me all mixed up.
1:42:54
- Why?
- Because.
1:42:58
Because too many things have happened.
1:43:01
Just too many things have happened.
1:43:02
I don't know what I feel or I think
about anything at this minute.
1:43:09
I'm going to sit down and think.
1:43:13
Then I'll leave you.
1:43:15
Don't get up.
Just sit awhile and think.
1:43:17
Never be afraid
to sit awhile and think.
1:43:26
How often I have looked at you
and said to myself...
1:43:30
..."So this is what the New World
hath finally wrought."
1:43:55
Just look at what
the New World hath wrought.
1:43:59
There he is. Just look at him.
