:44:01
Ma'am.
:44:02
l wish more of our coloured men
would stand up and fight for they home.
:44:06
The way you doin' against Dutch.
:44:08
l heard you killed three of his men.
:44:10
Like the Lord swooped in
on Sodom and Gomorrah,
:44:14
you swung your mighty scythe and them
heathen heads rolled on the pavement!
:44:18
- Yes, ma'am.
- You a killin' machine!
:44:21
Ooh, Mr Johnson, you somethin' else!
l'm telling you, you just a killer!
:44:27
Thanks, everybody.
:44:33
Francine. Francine.
:44:36
- Francine.
- Bumpy Johnson!
:44:38
Mr Johnson, l been singing
for you a long time now.
:44:42
l been tryin' to get a job
at the Cotton Club for six months.
:44:45
Look here, come down to the Bamville.
See my man Calvin.
:44:49
He's a cleanhead man. He does
the hiring. Would you excuse me?
:44:52
- He gonna take care of me?
- He'll take care of you.
:44:59
What's wrong?
:45:10
What was l supposed to do, Francine?
Let 'em kill the Queen?
:45:14
You shot three people.
Don't you have any remorse?
:45:19
Remorse comes when you feel
you've done something wrong.
:45:22
- You don't think killing is wrong?
- lnnocent people, yes.
:45:26
There's been 35 lynchings this year alone.
:45:30
Depression got people starving
all over the country.
:45:34
Scottsboro boys - in jail
for a crime they didn't commit.
:45:37
All of that is wrong.
:45:40
Yeah, l understand all that.
:45:42
But?
:45:44
But l don't understand you.
:45:48
You're a gentleman, you're a poet,
:45:51
you're nice to people,
you think about things.
:45:55
And then, within a blink of an eye,
:45:59
you can kill or be killed.
