You admire these kids, don't you?
:18:10
Don't you?
:18:12
I think they're bein' used.
:18:15
They're sent here in their
Volkswagens and sneakers...
:18:18
...just to get their heads cracked open.
:18:20
Did it ever occur to you that maybe
they believed in what they were doing?
:18:24
- Did it occur to them they'd end up dead?
- Maybe.
:18:27
In Washington they sure as hell knew,
didn't they?
:18:31
Some things are worth dying for.
:18:35
Well, down here
they see things a little differently.
:18:40
People down here feel
some things are worth killin' for.
:18:46
Where does it come from, all this hatred?
:18:52
You know, when I was a little boy...
:18:54
...there was an old Negro farmer lived
down the road from us, name of Monroe.
:18:58
And he was... Well, I guess he was just
a little luckier than my daddy was.
:19:08
He bought himself a mule.
:19:11
That was a big deal around that town.
:19:14
My daddy hated that mule.
:19:17
His friends kidded him that they saw
Monroe ploughin' with his new mule...
:19:22
...and Monroe was gonna rent
another field now that he had a mule.
:19:28
One morning that mule
just showed up dead.
:19:33
They poisoned the water.
:19:36
After that there was never any mention
about that mule around my daddy.
:19:44
One time we were drivin' past
Monroe's place and we saw it was empty.
:19:48
He'd just packed up and left, I guess.
Gone up North or somethin'.
:19:54
I looked over at my daddy's face...
:19:58
...and I knew he'd done it.
