174
00:13:16,937 --> 00:13:18,479
Say he wanna sell it to me.
175
00:13:19,229 --> 00:13:21,270
- Hmm.

176
00:13:21,271 --> 00:13:22,978

00:13:25,146 --> 00:13:28,520
Then I get Berniece to sell that piano,
and I'll have the third part.
179
00:13:28,521 --> 00:13:29,728
[chuckles]
180
00:13:29,729 --> 00:13:32,770
- Berniece ain't gonna sell that piano.
- [chuckles] I'm gonna talk to her.
181
00:13:32,771 --> 00:13:35,853
When she see I got a chance
to get Sutter's land, she'll come around.
182
00:13:35,854 --> 00:13:40,186
You can get that thought out your mind.
Berniece ain't gonna sell that piano.
183
00:13:40,187 --> 00:13:41,770
I'm gonna talk to her.
184
00:13:41,771 --> 00:13:42,812
[Doaker chuckles]
185
00:13:43,479 --> 00:13:45,312
How much land Sutter got left?
186
00:13:45,812 --> 00:13:47,937
[Boy Willie] Got a hundred acres.
Good land.
187
00:13:48,437 --> 00:13:52,103
He done sold it piece by piece.
Kept the good part for himself.
188
00:13:52,104 --> 00:13:53,895
Now he got to give that up.
189
00:13:53,896 --> 00:13:56,646
His brother come down from Chicago
for the funeral.
190
00:13:57,146 --> 00:14:00,354
He up in Chicago. Got some kinda business
with soda-fountain equipment.
191
00:14:00,896 --> 00:14:04,520
He anxious to sell the land, Doaker.
He don't wanna be bothered with it.
192
00:14:04,521 --> 00:14:05,978
He called me to him and said
193
00:14:05,979 --> 00:14:08,645
'cause of how long our families
done known each other
194
00:14:08,646 --> 00:14:10,978
and how we been good friends and all,
195
00:14:10,979 --> 00:14:13,061
say he wanna sell it to me.
196
00:14:13,062 --> 00:14:14,770
Told him to give me two weeks.
197
00:14:14,771 --> 00:14:17,520
He said he'd wait on me.
That's why I come up here.
198
00:14:17,521 --> 00:14:20,895
I sell them watermelons,
get Berniece to sell that piano,
199
00:14:20,896 --> 00:14:23,478
put them two parts together
with the part I done saved,
200
00:14:23,479 --> 00:14:26,396
then walk in there, tip my hat,
201
00:14:26,896 --> 00:14:29,646
lay my money down on the table,
202
00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:33,229
get my deed, and walk on out.
203
00:14:34,521 --> 00:14:36,645
This time, I get to keep all the cotton.
204
00:14:36,646 --> 00:14:39,396
Hire me some men to work it for me. Huh?
205
00:14:39,896 --> 00:14:43,603
Gin my cotton, get my seed,
and I'll see y'all again next year.
206
00:14:43,604 --> 00:14:46,311
Might even plant some tobacco.
Or some oats.
207
00:14:46,312 --> 00:14:47,437
[Doaker] Mm. Hmm.
208
00:14:48,479 --> 00:14:49,395
[Doaker sighs]
209
00:14:49,396 --> 00:14:52,812
You gonna have a hard time
convincing Berniece to sell that piano.
210
00:14:53,312 --> 00:14:55,353
Y'all remember Avery Brown
from down there?
211
00:14:55,354 --> 00:14:56,645
He up here now.
212
00:14:56,646 --> 00:14:59,770
Trying to get Berniece to marry him
after Crawley got killed.
213
00:14:59,771 --> 00:15:02,770
Been up here about two years.
Call himself a preacher now.
214
00:15:02,771 --> 00:15:04,228
[Boy Willie] I know Avery.
215
00:15:04,229 --> 00:15:07,270
I knew him when he used to work up
on the Willshaw place. Lymon knew him too.
216
00:15:07,271 --> 00:15:09,145
Yeah, he after Berniece to marry him.
217
00:15:09,146 --> 00:15:12,061
She keep telling him no,
but he won't give up.
218
00:15:12,062 --> 00:15:13,728
He keep pressing her on it. [laughs]
219
00:15:13,729 --> 00:15:16,146
Avery think all white men is big shots.
220
00:15:16,687 --> 00:15:18,978
He don't know there's white men
ain't got as much as he got.
221
00:15:18,979 --> 00:15:21,436
He supposed to come past here
this morning.
222
00:15:21,437 --> 00:15:23,103
Berniece going with him down to the bank.
223
00:15:23,104 --> 00:15:25,020
See if he can get a loan
to start his church.
224
00:15:25,021 --> 00:15:28,936
See, that's why I know
Berniece ain't gonna sell that piano.
225
00:15:28,937 --> 00:15:31,853
He tried to get her to sell it
to help him start his church.
226
00:15:31,854 --> 00:15:33,646
Sent the man around and everything.
227
00:15:34,812 --> 00:15:35,811
[Boy Willie] What man?
228
00:15:35,812 --> 00:15:38,270
Some white fella who going around
to colored people's houses
229
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:39,978
looking to buy musical instruments.
230
00:15:39,979 --> 00:15:41,478
He'd buy anything.
231
00:15:41,479 --> 00:15:45,270
Drums, guitars, harmonicas, pianos.
232
00:15:45,271 --> 00:15:49,186
Avery sent him past here.
He looked at that piano, got excited.
233
00:15:49,187 --> 00:15:51,311
Offered her a nice price.
234
00:15:51,312 --> 00:15:54,396
She turned him down,
got on Avery for sending him past.
235
00:15:54,896 --> 00:15:55,854
[Boy Willie] Hm.
236
00:15:56,604 --> 00:15:58,604
[wistful music playing]
237
00:16:09,271 --> 00:16:11,187
[Berniece] It's always something.
238
00:16:12,146 --> 00:16:13,312
Now, what the...
239
00:16:14,437 --> 00:16:15,687
[mutters]
240
00:16:18,396 --> 00:16:20,396
[wistful music continues]
241
00:16:22,229 --> 00:16:23,521
[snores]
242
00:16:30,312 --> 00:16:31,312
[Boy Willie moans]
243
00:16:43,812 --> 00:16:45,104
[music fades]
244
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:02,396
[door opens]
245
00:17:03,396 --> 00:17:04,437
[door closes]
246
00:17:05,271 --> 00:17:06,770
[water dripping]
247
00:17:06,771 --> 00:17:08,854
[ominous music playing]
248
00:17:22,646 --> 00:17:23,729
[wind whistling]
249
00:17:26,646 --> 00:17:27,811
[light switch clicks]
250
00:17:27,812 --> 00:17:30,436
[screaming] Doaker! Doaker!
251
00:17:30,437 --> 00:17:32,061
[screaming continues]
252
00:17:32,062 --> 00:17:32,978
Doaker!
253
00:17:32,979 --> 00:17:35,228
- Doaker!
- Berniece? Berniece?
254
00:17:35,229 --> 00:17:36,728
[whimpering]
255
00:17:36,729 --> 00:17:37,728
[Doaker] Berniece?
256
00:17:37,729 --> 00:17:40,145
Lord, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
257
00:17:40,146 --> 00:17:43,603
- [Lymon] Hey, what's going on?
- [Doaker] It's all right. I got you.
258
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:45,687
Come on. Come on. Sit down. Sit down.
259
00:17:46,187 --> 00:17:47,395
Come on. What is it?
260
00:17:47,396 --> 00:17:48,936
- Sutter--
- What's the matter?
261
00:17:48,937 --> 00:17:50,853
Sutter's standing up there in the hall.
262
00:17:50,854 --> 00:17:53,103
- [Doaker] Boy Willie?
- [Boy Willie] Ain't nobody up here.
263
00:17:53,104 --> 00:17:54,270
Boy Willie!
264
00:17:54,271 --> 00:17:56,395
[footsteps running down stairs]
265
00:17:56,396 --> 00:17:58,687
[Boy Willie] Hey, Doaker.
What's wrong with her?
266
00:17:59,771 --> 00:18:01,186
Hey, Berniece, what's wrong?
267
00:18:01,187 --> 00:18:03,770
She says she seen Sutter's ghost.
268
00:18:03,771 --> 00:18:05,770
[Boy Willie] Seen what?
She ain't seen no Sutter.
269
00:18:05,771 --> 00:18:07,186
Boy, he was standing right there.
270
00:18:07,187 --> 00:18:09,436
[Boy Willie] That's in Berniece's head.
Nobody up there.
271
00:18:09,437 --> 00:18:11,978
- Go on up there, Doaker.
- I take your word for it.
272
00:18:11,979 --> 00:18:16,103
Berniece talking about what she seen,
and she said Sutter's ghost in the hall.
273
00:18:16,104 --> 00:18:17,353
She ain't just made that up.
274
00:18:17,354 --> 00:18:19,311
She up there dreaming.
She ain't seen no ghost.
275
00:18:19,312 --> 00:18:22,145
[Lymon] You want a glass of water?
Get a glass of water, Boy Willie.
276
00:18:22,146 --> 00:18:24,228
She don't need water.
She ain't seen nothing.
277
00:18:24,229 --> 00:18:26,436
Go up there and look.
Ain't nobody up there but Maretha.
278
00:18:26,437 --> 00:18:28,603
- [Doaker] Let Berniece tell it.
- [Boy Willie] Ain't stopping her.
279
00:18:28,604 --> 00:18:30,103
- [Doaker] Go on.
- [Berniece] I just--
280
00:18:30,104 --> 00:18:32,645
I come out my room to come back down here,
281
00:18:32,646 --> 00:18:35,311
and... and Sutter
was standing there in the hall.
282
00:18:35,312 --> 00:18:36,395
[breathing shakily]
283
00:18:36,396 --> 00:18:37,686
[Boy Willie] What he look like?
284
00:18:37,687 --> 00:18:40,812
He look like Sutter.
Look like he always look.
285
00:18:42,021 --> 00:18:44,978
Sutter couldn't find his way
from Big Sandy to Little Sandy.
286
00:18:44,979 --> 00:18:47,353
How he gonna find his way
all the way up here to Pittsburgh?
287
00:18:47,354 --> 00:18:48,978
Sutter ain't even heard of Pittsburgh.
288
00:18:48,979 --> 00:18:51,103
Let Berniece finish.
I wanna hear what she got to say.
289
00:18:51,104 --> 00:18:53,895
Just... just... just standing there
with a blue suit on.
290
00:18:53,896 --> 00:18:56,311
[Boy Willie] Man never left Marlin County
when he was living.
291
00:18:56,312 --> 00:18:59,270
He gonna come all the way up here
now that he's dead?
292
00:18:59,271 --> 00:19:00,395
Now, go on, Berniece.
293
00:19:00,396 --> 00:19:02,728
If Berniece seen him
like she think she seen him,
294
00:19:02,729 --> 00:19:03,978
she'd still be running.
295
00:19:03,979 --> 00:19:05,771
Go on. Don't pay Boy Willie no mind.
296
00:19:08,354 --> 00:19:09,687
Did he have on a hat?
297
00:19:10,187 --> 00:19:11,978
[Berniece] Just had on that blue suit.
298
00:19:11,979 --> 00:19:15,854
He just stood there looking at me,
calling Boy Willie's name.
299
00:19:17,104 --> 00:19:18,478
What he calling my name for?
300
00:19:18,479 --> 00:19:20,603
I believe you pushed him in the well.
301
00:19:20,604 --> 00:19:22,520
[Boy Willie] Now what kind of sense
that make?
302
00:19:22,521 --> 00:19:25,353
[laughs] You telling me I'mma go out
and hide in the weeds
303
00:19:25,354 --> 00:19:28,186
with... with all them dogs and things
he got around there?
304
00:19:28,187 --> 00:19:29,478
I'mma go out and hide
305
00:19:29,479 --> 00:19:33,728
and wait till I catch him looking down
his well just right,
306
00:19:33,729 --> 00:19:36,061
then I'mma run over and push him in?
307
00:19:36,062 --> 00:19:38,311
A great big old 340-pound man.
308
00:19:38,312 --> 00:19:39,728
Well, what he call your name for?
309
00:19:39,729 --> 00:19:41,895
He was bending over,
looking down his well, woman.
310
00:19:41,896 --> 00:19:44,895
How he know who pushed him?
Could have been anybody.
311
00:19:44,896 --> 00:19:47,186
Where was you
when Sutter fell down his well?
312
00:19:47,187 --> 00:19:48,354
Where was Doaker?
313
00:19:49,312 --> 00:19:51,311
Me and Lymon
was over in Stoner County. Tell her.
314
00:19:51,312 --> 00:19:54,186
The Ghosts of the Yellow Dog got Sutter.
That's what happened to him.
315
00:19:54,187 --> 00:19:56,645
[Berniece] You can talk all that Ghosts
of the Yellow Dog stuff if you want.
316
00:19:56,646 --> 00:19:57,895
I know better.
317
00:19:57,896 --> 00:20:02,186
Ghosts of the Yellow Dog pushed him.
That's what the people say.
318
00:20:02,187 --> 00:20:04,271
[unsettling music playing]
319
00:20:06,271 --> 00:20:08,228
- [man 1] That's him.
- [man 2] I see him.
320
00:20:08,229 --> 00:20:09,270
There.
321
00:20:09,271 --> 00:20:11,770
[Lymon] They found him in his well,
and all the people say
322
00:20:11,771 --> 00:20:14,937
it must be the Ghosts of the Yellow Dog,
just like all them other men.
323
00:20:16,312 --> 00:20:18,270
[Boy Willie] Come talking about
he looking for me.
324
00:20:18,271 --> 00:20:20,603
That ain't nothing but in Berniece's head.
325
00:20:20,604 --> 00:20:23,020
Ain't no telling what she's liable
to come up with next.
326
00:20:23,021 --> 00:20:25,645
Boy Willie, I want you and Lymon
to go ahead and leave my house.
327
00:20:25,646 --> 00:20:27,061
Just go on somewhere.
328
00:20:27,062 --> 00:20:29,520
You bring trouble with you
everywhere you go.
329
00:20:29,521 --> 00:20:32,104
If it wasn't for you,
Crawley would still be alive.
330
00:20:36,437 --> 00:20:37,521
Crawley what?
331
00:20:39,562 --> 00:20:41,811
I had nothing to do
with Crawley getting killed.
332
00:20:41,812 --> 00:20:44,186
Crawley three time seven.
He had his own mind.
333
00:20:44,187 --> 00:20:47,353
Just go on and leave. Let Sutter
go somewhere else looking for you.
334
00:20:47,354 --> 00:20:48,436
[Boy Willie] I'm leaving!
335
00:20:48,437 --> 00:20:51,812
Soon as we sell them watermelons.
Other than that, I ain't going nowhere.
336
00:20:52,729 --> 00:20:54,645
- Hell.
- [Berniece groans]
337
00:20:54,646 --> 00:20:55,979
I just got here.
338
00:20:59,687 --> 00:21:02,021
Talking about Sutter looking for me.
339

00:29:34,021 --> 00:29:37,270

looking to buy musical instruments.
510
00:29:37,271 --> 00:29:40,186
[Avery] Yeah, but Berniece say
she ain't wanna sell that piano.
511
00:29:40,187 --> 00:29:43,395
After she told me about it,
I can see why she ain't wanna sell it.
512
00:29:43,396 --> 00:29:44,854
[Boy Willie] What's the man's name?
513
00:29:45,604 --> 00:29:48,436
I forgot the man's name.
It was a while back ago now.
514
00:29:48,437 --> 00:29:52,186
I believe he gave Berniece a card
with his name and telephone number on it,
515
00:29:52,187 --> 00:29:53,478
but she throwed it away.
516
00:29:53,479 --> 00:29:55,354
[footsteps coming down stairs]
517
00:29:55,854 --> 00:29:58,145
[Berniece] Maretha, run back upstairs
and get my pocketbook.
518
00:29:58,146 --> 00:30:01,229
And wipe the hair grease
off your forehead. Go ahead. Hurry up.

00:30:31,312 --> 00:30:33,021
[Doaker moans happily]
530
00:30:33,687 --> 00:30:35,521
[Avery] I'll be seeing you again,
Boy Willie.
531
00:30:36,021 --> 00:30:37,146
Hey, Berniece.
532
00:30:38,312 --> 00:30:40,729

- We could sell that piano.
- I ain't selling that piano, Boy Willie.
542
00:31:05,021 --> 00:31:08,146
And if that's why you come up here,
then you can forget about it.
543
00:31:08,646 --> 00:31:10,811
Doaker, I'll see you later.
544
00:31:10,812 --> 00:31:12,936
Boy Willie ain't nothing
but a whole lot of mouth.
545
00:31:12,937 --> 00:31:14,561
Don't pay him no mind.
546
00:31:14,562 --> 00:31:17,436
And if he come up here
thinking he gonna sell that piano,
547
00:31:17,437 --> 00:31:19,396
then he done come up here for nothing.

I'll tell you outright,

Where you coming from? Where you been?
I know you want another drink.
575

You know Cleotha died.

Oh, I heard that
last time I was down there.
577
00:33:09,687 --> 00:33:12,228
- Oh, I was sorry to hear that.
- [Wining Boy] Yeah.
578
00:33:12,229 --> 00:33:15,979
One of her friends wrote and told me.
I never knew she was sick.
579
00:33:16,479 --> 00:33:19,354
They was nailing her coffin shut
by the time I heard about it.
580
00:33:19,979 --> 00:33:23,186
Cleotha always did have
a nice way about her.
581
00:33:23,187 --> 00:33:26,936
Man, that woman was something.
I used to thank the Lord.
582
00:33:26,937 --> 00:33:29,436
Many a night I sat up
and looked out over my life.
583

Said, "Well, I had Cleotha."

[both chuckle]
585
00:33:33,021 --> 00:33:36,561
When it didn't look like there was
nothing else for me, I said, "Thank God."
586
00:33:36,562 --> 00:33:38,187
"At least I had that."
587
00:33:40,021 --> 00:33:44,104
If ever... I go anywhere in this life,
588
00:33:45,271 --> 00:33:47,562
I done known a good woman.

00:33:48,104 --> 00:33:49,104

to the next morning.

Look here! We was just talking about you.

Doaker say you left out of here
with a whole sack of money.
597
00:34:05,854 --> 00:34:07,978
I told him we wasn't gonna see you
till you got broke.
598
00:34:07,979 --> 00:34:10,686
What you mean "broke"?
I got a whole pocketful of money.

600
00:34:14,021 --> 00:34:17,186
[Boy Willie] Doaker say Berniece asked you
for three dollars. You got mad and left.
601
00:34:17,187 --> 00:34:19,853
Berniece try to rule over you too much
for me. That's why I left.
602
00:34:19,854 --> 00:34:21,728
It wasn't about no three dollars.
603
00:34:21,729 --> 00:34:24,561
Wining Boy, where you coming from?
Where you been?
604
00:34:24,562 --> 00:34:26,353

606
00:34:28,604 --> 00:34:31,186
Yeah, I used to know his daddy.

Where you getting these sacks of money?
Doaker say you left with a sack of money.
609
00:34:36,854 --> 00:34:38,228
Turn some of it loose.
610
00:34:38,229 --> 00:34:40,145
I was just fixing to ask you for $5.

612
00:34:41,104 --> 00:34:43,145
[Boy Willie] Doaker tell you about Sutter?
613
00:34:43,146 --> 00:34:46,395
The Ghosts of the Yellow Dog got him

614
00:34:46,396 --> 00:34:50,353
Berniece done seen his ghost
and everything. He right upstairs.
615
00:34:50,354 --> 00:34:54,353
Hey, Sutter! Wining Boy here.
Come on and get a drink.
616
00:34:54,354 --> 00:34:56,936
How many that make
the Ghosts of the Yellow Dog done got?
617
00:34:56,937 --> 00:35:00,186
Must be about nine or ten,
eleven or twelve. I don't know.
618
00:35:00,187 --> 00:35:01,271
[Wining Boy] Mm.
619
00:35:01,979 --> 00:35:05,061
Berniece say she don't believe all that
about the Ghosts of the Yellow Dog.
620
00:35:05,062 --> 00:35:07,228
She ain't gotta believe. [chuckles]
621
00:35:07,229 --> 00:35:10,561
You go ask them white folks
in Sunflower County if they believe.
622
00:35:10,562 --> 00:35:13,145
You go ask Sutter if he believe.
623
00:35:13,146 --> 00:35:15,020
I don't care if Berniece believe or not.
624
00:35:15,021 --> 00:35:18,978
Berniece don't believe in nothing.
She just think she believe.
625
00:35:18,979 --> 00:35:20,312
Let's not get on Berniece now.
626
00:35:23,562 --> 00:35:26,312
Doaker, give me a drink.
I see Wining Boy got his glass.

Wining Boy, what you doing in Kansas City?

00:35:36,021 --> 00:35:40,645
Yeah, I hear they got

632
00:35:40,646 --> 00:35:43,145
I sure like to go down there and find out.
633
00:35:43,146 --> 00:35:45,478

Uh, you gonna sit up in here

636
00:35:49,562 --> 00:35:51,311
Leave a dollar on the table
when you get up.
637
00:35:51,312 --> 00:35:53,103
You showing your hospitality.
638
00:35:53,104 --> 00:35:55,521
I know I ain't got to pay
for your hospitality.
639
00:35:56,021 --> 00:35:59,811
Doaker say they had you and Lymon
down on the Parchman Farm.
640
00:35:59,812 --> 00:36:01,561
Had you on my old stomping grounds.

00:36:01,562 --> 00:36:05,228

642
00:36:05,229 --> 00:36:07,146
and keeping us a little bit to sell.
643
00:36:08,104 --> 00:36:09,686
That's when Crawley got killed.
644
00:36:09,687 --> 00:36:11,771
[emotional music playing]
645
00:36:13,354 --> 00:36:15,354
[Lymon] They ambushed us right there.
646
00:36:16,687 --> 00:36:20,395
Me and Boy Willie got away,
but sheriff got us.
647
00:36:20,396 --> 00:36:22,395
Say we was stealing wood.
648
00:36:22,396 --> 00:36:24,020
They... they shot me in my stomach.
649
00:36:24,021 --> 00:36:26,228
They looking for Lymon down there now.
650
00:36:26,229 --> 00:36:28,853
[scoffs] They rounded him up
and threw him in jail for not working.
651
00:36:28,854 --> 00:36:31,270
- Fined me $100.
- [Boy Willie] Mm-hmm.
652
00:36:31,271 --> 00:36:33,770
Mr. Stovall come and paid my $100,
653
00:36:33,771 --> 00:36:37,811
and the judge say I got to work for him
to pay him back his $100.
654
00:36:37,812 --> 00:36:41,103
Soon as Stovall turned his back,
Lymon was gone.
655
00:36:41,104 --> 00:36:42,228
[laughing]
656
00:36:42,229 --> 00:36:45,228
I told Boy Willie I'm gonna stay up here.
I ain't going back with him.
657
00:36:45,229 --> 00:36:48,479
Ain't nobody twisting your arm
to make you go back. Do what you wanna do.
658
00:36:48,979 --> 00:36:51,853
I'll go back with you.
I'm on my way down there.
659
00:36:51,854 --> 00:36:54,311
You gonna take the train?
I'm gonna take the train.
660
00:36:54,312 --> 00:36:56,187
They treat you better up here.
661
00:36:56,896 --> 00:36:59,061
I ain't worried
about nobody mistreating me.
662
00:36:59,062 --> 00:37:01,270
They treat you
like you let them treat you.
663
00:37:01,271 --> 00:37:03,770
They mistreat me,
I mistreat them right back.
664
00:37:03,771 --> 00:37:06,145
Ain't no difference
in me and the white man.
665
00:37:06,146 --> 00:37:10,103
That's why you gonna end up
back down there on the Parchman Farm.
666
00:37:10,104 --> 00:37:14,145
I ain't thinking about no Parchman Farm.
See, you liable to go back before me.
667
00:37:14,146 --> 00:37:16,186
They work you too hard down there.
668
00:37:16,187 --> 00:37:18,853
All that weeding and hoeing
and chopping down trees.
669
00:37:18,854 --> 00:37:20,520
[scoffs] I ain't like all that.
670
00:37:20,521 --> 00:37:23,436
You ain't got to like your job
on the Parchman.
671
00:37:23,437 --> 00:37:26,395
Tell him, Doaker. The only one
got to like his job is the water boy.
672
00:37:26,396 --> 00:37:30,228
And if he don't like his job,
he need to set that bucket down.
673
00:37:30,229 --> 00:37:31,895
That's what they told Lymon.
674

was play on that piano.
848
00:46:10,562 --> 00:46:13,353
Just get up in the morning,
get all dressed up,
849
00:46:13,354 --> 00:46:15,353
and sit down and play on that piano.
850
00:46:15,354 --> 00:46:18,354
[Doaker] All right. Time go along.
Time go along.
851
00:46:19,062 --> 00:46:21,186
Miss Ophelia got to missing my grandmother
852
00:46:21,187 --> 00:46:24,728
and how she would cook,
clean the house, talk to her and whatnot,
853
00:46:24,729 --> 00:46:27,895
and she missed having my daddy around
to fetch things for her.
854
00:46:27,896 --> 00:46:32,895
So she asked to see if maybe
she could trade back that piano
855
00:46:32,896 --> 00:46:34,645
and get her niggers back.
856
00:46:34,646 --> 00:46:38,186
Mr. Nolander said, "No!"
Said a deal was a deal.
857
00:46:38,187 --> 00:46:41,686
And him and Sutter
had a big falling out about it.
858
00:46:41,687 --> 00:46:45,270
And Miss Ophelia took sick to the bed.
She wouldn't get up in the morning.
859
00:46:45,271 --> 00:46:48,354
That's when Sutter
called our granddaddy up to the house.
860
00:46:48,854 --> 00:46:51,103
[Doaker] Now, our granddaddy's name
was Boy Willie.
861
00:46:51,104 --> 00:46:53,603
Same like Boy Willie.
That's who he was named after.
862
00:46:53,604 --> 00:46:57,311
Only they called him Willie Boy.
863
00:46:57,312 --> 00:46:59,686
Now, he was a worker of wood.
864
00:46:59,687 --> 00:47:01,771
[intriguing music playing]
865
00:47:02,979 --> 00:47:05,979
[Doaker] He could make you
anything you wanted out of wood.
866
00:47:07,604 --> 00:47:08,895
Them white fellas around there
867
00:47:08,896 --> 00:47:11,020
used to get him
to make all kinds of things for them,
868
00:47:11,021 --> 00:47:13,521
and they'd pay Mr. Sutter a nice price.
869
00:47:15,812 --> 00:47:19,853
'Cause everything my granddaddy made,
Mr. Sutter owned
870
00:47:19,854 --> 00:47:21,603
'cause he owned him.
871
00:47:21,604 --> 00:47:25,728
That's why when Mr. Nolander offered
to buy him to keep the family together,
872
00:47:25,729 --> 00:47:27,103
Sutter wouldn't sell him.
873
00:47:27,104 --> 00:47:30,562
Told Mr. Nolander
he ain't have enough money to buy him.
874
00:47:31,062 --> 00:47:32,645
Now, am I telling it right, Wining Boy?
875
00:47:32,646 --> 00:47:33,979
You telling it.
876
00:47:34,896 --> 00:47:36,853
Sutter called my granddaddy
up to the house
877
00:47:36,854 --> 00:47:40,770
and told him to carve a picture
of my grandmother and my daddy
878
00:47:40,771 --> 00:47:42,895
on the piano for Miss Ophelia,
879
00:47:42,896 --> 00:47:44,311
and he took and done this.
880
00:47:44,312 --> 00:47:46,103
[gentle piano music playing]
881
00:47:46,104 --> 00:47:47,312
[Doaker] You see that?
882
00:47:48,187 --> 00:47:50,771
That's my grandmother, Berniece.
883
00:47:51,771 --> 00:47:53,771
She looked just like that.
884
00:47:54,354 --> 00:47:57,270
And he put a picture of my daddy
when he wasn't nothing but a little boy,
885
00:47:57,271 --> 00:47:58,811
the way he remembered him.
886
00:47:58,812 --> 00:48:01,146
He carved 'em up out of his memory.
887
00:48:01,729 --> 00:48:04,604
Only thing is he ain't stop there.
888
00:48:05,146 --> 00:48:08,936
He took and carved all of this.
889
00:48:08,937 --> 00:48:12,186
He put a picture of his mama, Mama Esther,
890
00:48:12,187 --> 00:48:14,978
and his daddy, Boy Charles.
891
00:48:14,979 --> 00:48:18,728
And on the side here, that's when him
and Mama Berniece got married.
892
00:48:18,729 --> 00:48:21,104
They called that "jumping the broom."
893
00:48:22,271 --> 00:48:25,645
He put all kind of things on the side
what happened to our family.
894
00:48:25,646 --> 00:48:28,895
And when Sutter seen the piano
with all these carvings on it...
895
00:48:28,896 --> 00:48:29,936
[exclaims]
896
00:48:29,937 --> 00:48:31,561
...he got mad!
897
00:48:31,562 --> 00:48:33,478
He didn't ask for all this,
898
00:48:33,479 --> 00:48:36,145
but wasn't nothing he could do about it.
899
00:48:36,146 --> 00:48:39,728
But when Miss Ophelia seen it,
oh, well, she got excited.
900
00:48:39,729 --> 00:48:43,645
Now, she had her piano
and her niggers too.
901
00:48:43,646 --> 00:48:45,353
She took back to playing on it.
902
00:48:45,354 --> 00:48:48,936
Played on it right on up
to the day she died. All right.
903
00:48:48,937 --> 00:48:51,228
Now, our brother Boy Charles,
904
00:48:51,229 --> 00:48:54,979
that's Berniece and Boy Willie's daddy,
905
00:48:55,687 --> 00:48:57,687
he the oldest of us three boys.
906
00:48:58,354 --> 00:49:01,437
He'd have been 57 if he had lived.
907
00:49:01,979 --> 00:49:05,104
Died in 1911 when he was 31 years old.
908
00:49:06,521 --> 00:49:10,770
Boy Charles talked about that piano
all the time.
909
00:49:10,771 --> 00:49:12,811
Couldn't get it off his mind.
910
00:49:12,812 --> 00:49:16,687
Two, three months go by,
he'd be talking about it again.
911
00:49:17,437 --> 00:49:20,979
He'd be talking about
taking it out of Sutter's house.
912
00:49:21,562 --> 00:49:26,311
He said it was the story
of our whole family,
913
00:49:26,312 --> 00:49:28,395
and long as Sutter had it,
914
00:49:28,396 --> 00:49:29,686
he had us.
915
00:49:29,687 --> 00:49:31,604
Said we still in slavery.
916
00:49:32,604 --> 00:49:34,770
Me and Wining Boy tried
to talk him out of it,
917
00:49:34,771 --> 00:49:36,437
but it wouldn't do any good.
918
00:49:36,979 --> 00:49:39,937
Soon as he'd quiet down about it,
he'd start up again.
919
00:49:41,562 --> 00:49:43,853
We seen where he wasn't gonna
get his mind off it,
920
00:49:43,854 --> 00:49:46,645
so on 4th of July, 1911,
921
00:49:46,646 --> 00:49:49,853
while Sutter was at the picnic
what the county give every year...
922
00:49:49,854 --> 00:49:51,728
[dramatic music playing]
923
00:49:51,729 --> 00:49:53,811
[fireworks exploding]
924
00:49:53,812 --> 00:49:56,312
...me and Wining Boy
went on down there with him,
925
00:49:57,229 --> 00:50:01,146
and we took this piano
out of Sutter's house.
926
00:50:05,771 --> 00:50:08,604
Boy Willie couldn't have been
no more than six years old.
927
00:50:11,021 --> 00:50:12,645
His daddy had decided
928
00:50:12,646 --> 00:50:15,811
he was gonna stick around
till Sutter got back.
929
00:50:15,812 --> 00:50:18,271
Make it look like business as usual.
930
00:50:19,271 --> 00:50:22,854
I don't know what happened when Sutter
came home and found that piano gone,
931
00:50:24,062 --> 00:50:28,187
but somebody went up to Boy Charles' house
and set it on fire.
932
00:50:28,937 --> 00:50:30,978
He wasn't in there.
He must have seen 'em coming.
933
00:50:30,979 --> 00:50:36,021
'Cause he went down
and caught the 3:57 Yellow Dog.
934
00:50:37,104 --> 00:50:39,645
He ain't know they was gonna
come down there and stop the train.
935
00:50:39,646 --> 00:50:40,936
[horse whinnies]
936
00:50:40,937 --> 00:50:42,396
They stopped the train,
937
00:50:43,354 --> 00:50:48,104
found Boy Charles and three of them hobos
in one of them boxcars.
938
00:50:49,062 --> 00:50:51,062
[brakes squeal]
939
00:50:52,396 --> 00:50:53,228
[loud thud]
940
00:50:53,229 --> 00:50:55,603
[Doaker] Must've got mad
when they couldn't find that piano
941
00:50:55,604 --> 00:50:59,437
'cause they set the boxcar on fire.
942
00:51:00,312 --> 00:51:01,979
Killed everybody.
943
00:51:04,437 --> 00:51:06,104
Now, nobody know who done that.
944
00:51:07,187 --> 00:51:10,145
Some folks say it was Sutter
'cause it was his piano.
945
00:51:10,146 --> 00:51:12,228
Some folks say it was Sheriff Carter.
946
00:51:12,229 --> 00:51:15,103
Some people say
it was Ed Saunders or Robert Smith,
947
00:51:15,104 --> 00:51:18,561
but don't nobody know for sure.
948
00:51:18,562 --> 00:51:20,646
[dramatic music continues]
949
00:51:22,229 --> 00:51:27,603
It was about two months after that
that Ed Saunders fell down his well.
950
00:51:27,604 --> 00:51:31,771
Just upped and fell down his well
for no reason.
951
00:51:32,771 --> 00:51:35,895
People say it was the ghosts
of them men what died in that boxcar
952
00:51:35,896 --> 00:51:37,561
pushed him in his well.
953
00:51:37,562 --> 00:51:41,478
And they started calling them
the Ghosts of the Yellow Dog.
954
00:51:41,479 --> 00:51:43,437
That's how all that got started.
955
00:51:44,229 --> 00:51:47,521
And that's why me and Wining Boy say
956
00:51:48,187 --> 00:51:52,437
Berniece ain't gonna sell that piano.
957
00:51:53,312 --> 00:51:55,854
'Cause her daddy died over it.
958
00:51:58,104 --> 00:51:59,604
[Boy Willie] All that's in the past.
959
00:52:03,229 --> 00:52:04,562
If my daddy
960
00:52:05,646 --> 00:52:10,937
had seen where he could have traded
that piano... in for some land of his own,
961
00:52:12,396 --> 00:52:14,146
it wouldn't be sitting up here now.
962
00:52:15,229 --> 00:52:18,062
He spent his whole life
farming somebody else's land.
963
00:52:20,271 --> 00:52:21,521
I ain't gonna do that.
964
00:52:23,437 --> 00:52:25,103
See, he couldn't do no better.
965
00:52:25,104 --> 00:52:27,395
When he come along,
he ain't had nothing to build on.
966
00:52:27,396 --> 00:52:29,479
His daddy ain't had nothing to give him.
967
00:52:30,521 --> 00:52:32,729
The only thing my daddy had to give me
968
00:52:33,854 --> 00:52:36,936
was that piano,
and he died giving me that.
969
00:52:36,937 --> 00:52:40,395
I ain't gonna let it sit there and rot
without trying to do something with it.
970
00:52:40,396 --> 00:52:44,436
And if Berniece can't see that,
I'm gonna go and sell my half.
971
00:52:44,437 --> 00:52:46,145
You and Wining Boy know I'm right.
972
00:52:46,146 --> 00:52:50,020
Ain't nobody said nothing
about who's right and who's wrong.
973
00:52:50,021 --> 00:52:51,979
I'm just telling the man about the piano.
974
00:52:52,896 --> 00:52:58,271
I'm telling him why me and Wining Boy say
Berniece ain't gonna sell it.
975
00:52:59,646 --> 00:53:01,271
Can see why you say that now.
976
00:53:02,479 --> 00:53:05,812
I told Boy Willie
he ought to stay up here with me.
977
00:53:07,354 --> 00:53:08,479
[Boy Willie] You stay.
978
00:53:09,396 --> 00:53:10,646
I'm going back.
979
00:53:13,104 --> 00:53:14,896
That's what I'm gonna do with my life.
980
00:53:15,979 --> 00:53:18,854
Why I got to learn to do something
I don't know how to do
981
00:53:19,354 --> 00:53:21,146
when I already know how to farm?
982
00:53:22,187 --> 00:53:23,187
You stay.
983
00:53:24,896 --> 00:53:27,396
Make your own way
if that's what you wanna do.
984
00:53:29,021 --> 00:53:31,729
I'm going back
to live my life the way I wanna live it.
985
00:53:36,937 --> 00:53:38,354
[Boy Charles] You know what this is?
986
00:53:39,187 --> 00:53:40,604
[young Boy Willie] I don't know.
987
00:53:42,354 --> 00:53:43,728
[Boy Charles] What you think it is?
988
00:53:43,729 --> 00:53:44,812
[young Boy Willie] Dirt.
989
00:53:45,937 --> 00:53:47,104
[Boy Charles] Nah, son.
990
00:53:48,021 --> 00:53:49,229
This ain't no dirt.
991
00:53:49,729 --> 00:53:51,187
This here is land.
992
00:53:53,521 --> 00:53:55,979
- You know the difference?
- No.
993
00:53:57,896 --> 00:53:58,937
[Boy Charles] See, dirt...
994
00:54:00,187 --> 00:54:03,062
dirt'll blow away, be gone with the wind.
995
00:54:04,104 --> 00:54:05,104
But land...
996
00:54:05,771 --> 00:54:06,729
[chuckles softly]
997
00:54:07,271 --> 00:54:08,937
...land'll last you forever, son.
998
00:54:15,521 --> 00:54:17,479
Go ahead. Feel it now. Crush it.
999
00:54:18,354 --> 00:54:20,354
[mysterious music playing]
1000
00:54:22,437 --> 00:54:23,437
You feel that?
1001
00:54:24,562 --> 00:54:25,729
Feel good, don't it?
1002
00:54:27,812 --> 00:54:29,812
[mysterious music continues]
1003
00:54:44,729 --> 00:54:47,853
[man on radio] One of the beings
walked towards me
1004
00:54:47,854 --> 00:54:50,646
slowly but with intent.
1005
00:54:51,271 --> 00:54:53,270
My comrades ran away in fear.
1006
00:54:53,271 --> 00:54:55,604
- [door opens]
- [Berniece] Go on and get up them stairs.
1007
00:54:56,979 --> 00:54:59,103
- [man on radio] ...in a tall tree.
- Is that--
1008
00:54:59,104 --> 00:55:02,311
Lord! I... I know
that ain't Wining Boy sitting there.
1009
00:55:02,312 --> 00:55:03,771
[Wining Boy] Hey, Berniece.
1010
00:55:04,521 --> 00:55:06,395
You all had this planned.
1011
00:55:06,396 --> 00:55:08,895
You and Boy Willie had this planned.
1012
00:55:08,896 --> 00:55:11,478
[Wining Boy] I didn't know
he was gonna be here.
1013
00:55:11,479 --> 00:55:14,686
I'm on my way down home and stopped by
to see you and Doaker first.
1014
00:55:14,687 --> 00:55:16,895
Told that nigger,
he left here with that sack of money,
1015
00:55:16,896 --> 00:55:19,061
we thought
he wasn't never gonna see him again.
1016
00:55:19,062 --> 00:55:20,812
[Wining Boy] Give your uncle a hug.
1017
00:55:21,396 --> 00:55:24,895
Boy Willie, I ain't see that truck.
Thought you was out selling watermelons.
1018
00:55:24,896 --> 00:55:27,687
We done sold 'em all. Sold the truck too.
1019
00:55:28,479 --> 00:55:31,436
I don't wanna go through your stuff.
I told you. Go back where you belong.
1020
00:55:31,437 --> 00:55:34,561
Hell, I was just teasing you, woman.
You can't take no teasing?
1021
00:55:34,562 --> 00:55:36,228
Wining Boy, when you get here?
1022
00:55:36,229 --> 00:55:38,771
A little while ago.
I took the train from Kansas City.
1023
00:55:39,271 --> 00:55:41,770
Let me go change my clothes,
then I'll cook you something to eat.
1024
00:55:41,771 --> 00:55:44,020
Hey! I like the sound of that.
1025
00:55:44,021 --> 00:55:47,021
Come on, Maretha. Change your clothes
before you get 'em dirty.
1026
00:55:47,521 --> 00:55:49,020
[Wining Boy] Maretha sure getting big.
1027
00:55:49,021 --> 00:55:50,145
- Ain't she, Doaker?
- Mm-hmm.
1028
00:55:50,146 --> 00:55:54,020
And just as pretty as she wanna be.
I didn't know Crawley had it in him.
1029
00:55:54,021 --> 00:55:55,395
[laughing]
1030
00:55:55,396 --> 00:56:00,103
Hey, Lymon, get up on the other side
of this piano. Let me see something.
1031
00:56:00,104 --> 00:56:03,603
- Boy Willie, what is you doing?
- I wanna see how heavy this piano is.
1032
00:56:03,604 --> 00:56:04,646
[grunts]
1033
00:56:05,146 --> 00:56:06,395
Get up over there, Lymon.
1034
00:56:06,396 --> 00:56:10,020
Go on and leave that piano alone.
You ain't taking it and selling it.
1035
00:56:10,021 --> 00:56:12,145
Just as soon as I get them watermelons
off that truck.
1036
00:56:12,146 --> 00:56:14,020
[Wining Boy]
I got something to say about that.
1037
00:56:14,021 --> 00:56:15,353
This my daddy's piano.
1038
00:56:15,354 --> 00:56:17,979
He ain't took it by himself.
Me and Doaker helped him.
1039
00:56:19,187 --> 00:56:20,479
He died by himself.
1040
00:56:21,479 --> 00:56:23,229
Where was you and Doaker at then?
1041
00:56:24,312 --> 00:56:26,103
Don't come telling me nothing
about this piano.
1042
00:56:26,104 --> 00:56:28,895
This me and Berniece's piano.
Am I right, Doaker?
1043
00:56:28,896 --> 00:56:31,228
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you right.
1044
00:56:31,229 --> 00:56:33,103
Come on, Lymon.
Let's see if we can lift it up.
1045
00:56:33,104 --> 00:56:36,229
Get you a real good grip
and lift it up on your end. Come on.
1046
00:56:40,979 --> 00:56:42,979
[stirring music playing]
1047
00:56:44,687 --> 00:56:46,103
- [Boy Willie] Ready?
- [Lymon] Ready.
1048
00:56:46,104 --> 00:56:48,396
[jazz music playing on radio]
1049
00:56:50,021 --> 00:56:51,145
[Boy Willie] Lift.
1050
00:56:51,146 --> 00:56:52,603
[stirring music continues]
1051
00:56:52,604 --> 00:56:53,520
[Boy Willie grunts]
1052
00:56:53,521 --> 00:56:56,436
[static on radio]
1053
00:56:56,437 --> 00:56:58,521
[stirring music continues]
1054
00:57:02,021 --> 00:57:04,604
[Boy Willie and Lymon grunting]
1055
00:57:08,521 --> 00:57:10,021
[static on radio]
1056
00:57:11,229 --> 00:57:12,353
[Boy Willie] What you think?
1057
00:57:12,354 --> 00:57:16,396
It's heavy, but you can move it.
Only it ain't gonna be easy.
1058
00:57:17,812 --> 00:57:19,354
[Boy Willie] Wasn't that heavy to me.
1059
00:57:20,562 --> 00:57:22,646
Okay. Let's put it back.
1060
00:57:24,687 --> 00:57:26,229
[grunting]
1061
00:57:28,271 --> 00:57:30,271
[stirring music continues]
1062
00:57:43,312 --> 00:57:44,437
[Berniece] Boy Willie,
1063
00:57:45,354 --> 00:57:47,895
you gonna play around with me
one too many times,
1064
00:57:47,896 --> 00:57:50,228
and then God gonna bless you,
and West gonna dress you.
1065
00:57:50,229 --> 00:57:52,062
Now set that piano back over there.
1066
00:57:53,896 --> 00:57:55,854
- I'm trying to get me some land, woman.
- Mm-hmm.
1067
00:57:56,437 --> 00:57:58,686
Wining Boy, you want me
to fry you up some pork chops?
1068
00:57:58,687 --> 00:58:00,228
[Wining Boy] It sound good to me.
1069
00:58:00,229 --> 00:58:02,854
See, now, I'm gonna tell you
the way I see it.
1070
00:58:04,687 --> 00:58:07,020
Papa Boy Charles brought that piano
into the house.
1071
00:58:07,021 --> 00:58:09,896
Now I'm supposed to build on
what they left me.
1072
00:58:10,437 --> 00:58:13,186
Can't do nothing with that piano,
letting it sit up there in the house.
1073
00:58:13,187 --> 00:58:16,811
That'd be like if I let them watermelons
sit out there and rot. I'd be a fool.
1074
00:58:16,812 --> 00:58:21,312
Okay, now, if you say to me,
"Boy Willie, I'm using that piano."
1075
00:58:21,896 --> 00:58:24,645
"I give out lessons on it.
That help me pay my rent."
1076
00:58:24,646 --> 00:58:26,853
Or whatever,
then that'd be something else.
1077
00:58:26,854 --> 00:58:29,520
I'd have to say,
"Well, Berniece using that piano."
1078
00:58:29,521 --> 00:58:31,728
"She building on it.
Let her go on and use it."
1079
00:58:31,729 --> 00:58:33,812
"I got to find another way
to get Sutter's land."
1080
00:58:35,104 --> 00:58:38,686
But Doaker say you ain't touched
that piano the whole time it's been here.
1081
00:58:38,687 --> 00:58:40,854
So why you wanna try and stand in my way?
1082
00:58:41,979 --> 00:58:44,312
See, you just looking
at the sentimental value.
1083
00:58:45,021 --> 00:58:46,271
See, that's good.
1084
00:58:47,521 --> 00:58:50,978
That's all right. I take my hat off
whenever somebody say my daddy's name.
1085
00:58:50,979 --> 00:58:54,061
But I ain't gonna be no fool
about no sentimental value.
1086
00:58:54,062 --> 00:58:56,353
You can sit up there
and look at that piano for 100 years.
1087
00:58:56,354 --> 00:58:59,521
It's just gonna be a piano.
You can't make more than that.
1088
00:59:03,687 --> 00:59:05,937
Now, I wanna get Sutter's land
with the piano.
1089
00:59:06,562 --> 00:59:11,104
I get Sutter's land, go down there
and cash the crop and get my seed.
1090
00:59:11,687 --> 00:59:14,895
See, as long as I got the land
and the seed, I'm all right.
1091
00:59:14,896 --> 00:59:17,354
I can always get me
a little something else.
1092
00:59:18,146 --> 00:59:20,728
The kind of man my daddy was,
he would've understood that.
1093
00:59:20,729 --> 00:59:22,895
Now, I'm sorry
you can't see it that way, Berniece,
1094
00:59:22,896 --> 00:59:26,687
but that's why I'm taking that piano
out of here and selling it.
1095
00:59:27,187 --> 00:59:28,521
Look at this piano.
1096
00:59:30,187 --> 00:59:31,146
Look at it.
1097
00:59:33,729 --> 00:59:37,270
Mama Ola polished this piano
with her tears
1098
00:59:37,271 --> 00:59:39,062
for 17 years.
1099
00:59:39,812 --> 00:59:43,854
For 17 years,
she rubbed on it till her hands bled.
1100
00:59:44,646 --> 00:59:48,604
Then she rubbed the blood in,
mixed it with the rest of the blood on it.
1101
00:59:50,021 --> 00:59:52,770
Every day,
God breathed life into her body.
1102
00:59:52,771 --> 00:59:57,437
She rubbed and cleaned
and polished and prayed over it.
1103
00:59:59,021 --> 01:00:00,812
"Play something for me, Berniece."
1104
01:00:01,812 --> 01:00:03,521
"Play something for me, Berniece."
1105
01:00:04,146 --> 01:00:06,479
"Play something for me, Berniece."
Every day.
1106
01:00:07,021 --> 01:00:10,396
"I cleaned it up for you.
Play something for me, Berniece."
1107
01:00:12,229 --> 01:00:14,396
You always talking about your daddy.
1108
01:00:14,896 --> 01:00:18,103
But you don't never stop to look at
what his foolishness cost your mama.
1109
01:00:18,104 --> 01:00:22,646
Seventeen years' worth
of cold nights in an empty bed. For what?
1110
01:00:24,104 --> 01:00:25,312
For a piano?
1111
01:00:25,937 --> 01:00:27,396
For a piece of wood?
1112
01:00:28,396 --> 01:00:30,229
To get even with somebody?
1113
01:00:33,479 --> 01:00:34,521
I look at you,
1114
01:00:35,854 --> 01:00:37,479
and you're all the same.
1115
01:00:38,021 --> 01:00:42,061
You, Papa Boy Charles,
Wining Boy, Doaker, Crawley.
1116
01:00:42,062 --> 01:00:43,270
Y'all alike.
1117
01:00:43,271 --> 01:00:45,853
All this thieving and killing.
Thieving and killing.
1118
01:00:45,854 --> 01:00:47,103
What it ever lead to?
1119
01:00:47,104 --> 01:00:50,353
More killing and more thieving.
I ain't never seen it come to nothing.
1120
01:00:50,354 --> 01:00:52,520
People getting burnt up.
People getting shot.
1121
01:00:52,521 --> 01:00:55,936
People falling down their wells.
It don't never stop!
1122
01:00:55,937 --> 01:00:58,771
Come on, now, Berniece.
Ain't no sense in getting upset.
1123
01:01:00,521 --> 01:01:03,062
I done a little bit of stealing
here and there,
1124
01:01:03,812 --> 01:01:05,729
but I ain't never killed nobody.
1125
01:01:06,687 --> 01:01:09,936
I can't be speaking for nobody else.
You... you all got to speak for yourself.
1126
01:01:09,937 --> 01:01:11,604
But I ain't never killed nobody.
1127
01:01:13,271 --> 01:01:16,561
You killed Crawley
just as sure as if you pulled the trigger.
1128
01:01:16,562 --> 01:01:18,229
[Boy Willie] See, that's just ignorant.
1129
01:01:18,812 --> 01:01:21,103
That's downright foolish
for you to say something like that.
1130
01:01:21,104 --> 01:01:23,145
You ain't doing nothing
but showing your ignorance.
1131
01:01:23,146 --> 01:01:27,103
If the nigger was here, I'd whoop his ass
for getting me and Lymon shot at.
1132
01:01:27,104 --> 01:01:30,353
- Crawley ain't knew about that wood.
- We told the man about the wood!
1133
01:01:30,354 --> 01:01:32,686
Ask Lymon. He knew all about the wood.
1134
01:01:32,687 --> 01:01:36,186
He seen we was sneaking it.
Why else we gonna go out there at night?
1135
01:01:36,187 --> 01:01:38,270
Don't tell me
Crawley ain't knew about the wood.
1136
01:01:38,271 --> 01:01:41,604
Them fellas try to run us off it,
and Crawley tried to bully them.
1137
01:01:42,229 --> 01:01:43,770
Me and Lymon seen the sheriff with them.
1138
01:01:43,771 --> 01:01:46,270
We give in.
No sense getting killed over $50.
1139
01:01:46,271 --> 01:01:49,353
- Crawley ain't knew. You stole that wood!
- [Boy Willie] We ain't stole no wood.
1140
01:01:49,354 --> 01:01:52,936
We was hauling wood for Jim Miller
and keeping us a little bit on the side.
1141
01:01:52,937 --> 01:01:56,854
We dumped our little bit down by the creek
till we had enough to make a load.
1142
01:01:57,729 --> 01:02:00,895
Them fellas seen us. We figured
we better get it before they did.
1143
01:02:00,896 --> 01:02:04,103
We got Crawley to help us load it.
We figured we'd cut him in.
1144
01:02:04,104 --> 01:02:06,979
Crawley trying to keep the wolf
from his door. We was helping.
1145
01:02:07,479 --> 01:02:09,771
[Lymon] Me and Boy Willie
told him about the wood.
1146
01:02:11,812 --> 01:02:14,186
We told him some fellas
might be trying to beat us to it.
1147
01:02:14,187 --> 01:02:18,104
He said, "Whoa.
Let me go back, get my .38."
1148
01:02:19,187 --> 01:02:20,646
That's what caused the trouble.
1149
01:02:23,479 --> 01:02:26,187
If Crawley ain't had that gun,
he'd still be alive today.
1150
01:02:28,979 --> 01:02:31,937
[Lymon] We had it about half loaded
when they come up on us.
1151
01:02:32,937 --> 01:02:35,270
We seen the sheriff with 'em.
We... we tried to get away.
1152
01:02:35,271 --> 01:02:38,020
We ducked round
near that bend in the creek,
1153
01:02:38,021 --> 01:02:39,728
but they was down there too.
1154
01:02:39,729 --> 01:02:41,562
Boy Willie say, "Let's give in,"
1155
01:02:42,146 --> 01:02:44,562
but Crawley pulled out his gun,
started shooting.
1156
01:02:45,271 --> 01:02:46,770
That's when they started shooting back.
1157
01:02:46,771 --> 01:02:48,854
[unsettling music playing]
1158
01:02:53,271 --> 01:02:54,396
[Boy Willie] Berniece.
1159
01:02:57,021 --> 01:03:02,354
All I know is Crawley would still be alive
if you hadn't come up there and got him.
1160
01:03:03,479 --> 01:03:05,771
I had nothing to do
with Crawley getting killed.
1161
01:03:06,396 --> 01:03:07,561
That was his own fault.
1162
01:03:07,562 --> 01:03:10,395
Crawley is dead and in the ground,
1163
01:03:10,396 --> 01:03:12,936
and you still walking around here eating.
1164
01:03:12,937 --> 01:03:14,354
That's all I know.
1165
01:03:15,604 --> 01:03:19,020
He went off to load some wood with you
and ain't never come back.
1166
01:03:19,021 --> 01:03:22,103
I told you, woman, I had nothing to do
with Crawley getting killed!
1167
01:03:22,104 --> 01:03:23,396
He ain't here, is he?
1168
01:03:24,771 --> 01:03:25,936
He ain't here, hmm?
1169
01:03:25,937 --> 01:03:28,561
- I told you I ain't responsible--
- I said he ain't here!
1170
01:03:28,562 --> 01:03:31,395
- I don't-- Doaker, get her outta here.
- He ain't here, is he? Is he?
1171
01:03:31,396 --> 01:03:33,270
- He ain't here!
- I done told you...
1172
01:03:33,271 --> 01:03:35,354

[Berniece panting]
1179
01:04:23,687 --> 01:04:26,146
[Berniece] Easy. It's okay. It's okay.
1180
01:04:30,479 --> 01:04:32,479
[wistful music playing]
1181
01:04:43,687 --> 01:04:46,187
[Doaker] Maretha scared
to sleep upstairs now.
1182
01:04:47,146 --> 01:04:50,771
Berniece don't know,
but I seen Sutter 'fore she did.
1183
01:04:51,354 --> 01:04:52,979
- [Wining Boy] Say what?
- [Doaker] Mm-hmm.
1184
01:04:53,604 --> 01:04:54,936
About three weeks ago.
1185
01:04:54,937 --> 01:04:57,436
I had just come back from down there.
1186
01:04:57,437 --> 01:05:00,228
Sutter couldn't have been dead
more than three days.
1187
01:05:00,229 --> 01:05:01,978
He was sitting over there at the piano.
1188
01:05:01,979 --> 01:05:05,562
I come out to go to work.
He's sitting right there.
1189
01:05:06,271 --> 01:05:09,270
He say anything?
He say he was looking for Boy Willie?
1190
01:05:09,271 --> 01:05:12,354
I ain't heard him say nothing.
He just sitting there.
1191
01:05:12,937 --> 01:05:15,771
I don't believe
Boy Willie pushed him in the well though.
1192
01:05:16,271 --> 01:05:18,312
Sutter here 'cause of that piano.
1193
01:05:18,812 --> 01:05:22,228
Berniece need to go on and sell it.
Ain't done nothing but cause trouble.
1194
01:05:22,229 --> 01:05:26,936
I don't-- I agree with Berniece.
Boy Charles ain't took it to give it back.
1195
01:05:26,937 --> 01:05:30,186
He took it because he figured
he had more right to it than Sutter did.
1196
01:05:30,187 --> 01:05:33,146
If Sutter can't understand that,
that's just the way that go.
1197
01:05:33,646 --> 01:05:36,812
Sutter dead and in the ground.
Don't care where his ghost is.
1198
01:05:37,312 --> 01:05:39,979
He can hover around
and play on the piano all he want.
1199
01:05:40,521 --> 01:05:43,895
I wanna see him carry it out the house.
That's what I wanna see.
1200
01:05:43,896 --> 01:05:46,186
- [laughing]
- [funky music playing]
1201
01:05:46,187 --> 01:05:49,521
[Lymon] Two for a dollar.
Come on. Who wants some watermelon?
1202
01:05:50,271 --> 01:05:51,270
[man] I'll take five.
1203
01:05:51,271 --> 01:05:52,186
[all clamoring]
1204
01:05:52,187 --> 01:05:55,979
- [Lymon] Two big watermelon coming to you.
- [Boy Willie] It's a boy. Congratulations.
1205
01:05:58,271 --> 01:06:01,811
- You picking the right ones, ain't you?
- We got two more coming. One second.
1206
01:06:01,812 --> 01:06:04,021
Watch out. That's heavy now. Be careful.
1207
01:06:04,604 --> 01:06:06,561
- [Boy Willie] There you go. Thank you.
- All right.
1208
01:06:06,562 --> 01:06:09,479
See, this is what we call salt.
Put that on that right there.
1209
01:06:10,896 --> 01:06:13,228
- Take a bite. What you think?
- Mmm!
1210
01:06:13,229 --> 01:06:16,979
One, two, three lovely ladies.
1211
01:06:17,979 --> 01:06:19,979
[both laughing]
1212
01:06:21,146 --> 01:06:24,562
Yo, one lady asked me, "Is they sweet?"
1213
01:06:25,062 --> 01:06:27,395
I told her, "Lady,
where we grow these watermelons,
1214
01:06:27,396 --> 01:06:29,103
we put the sugar in the ground."
1215
01:06:29,104 --> 01:06:31,520
[Boy Willie laughing]
You know she believed me.
1216
01:06:31,521 --> 01:06:34,479
Talking about,
"I've never heard that before."
1217
01:06:35,229 --> 01:06:36,354
Look here, Lymon.
1218
01:06:37,229 --> 01:06:40,061
See this? Look at his eyes getting big.
1219
01:06:40,062 --> 01:06:42,603
He ain't never seen a suit like this.
1220
01:06:42,604 --> 01:06:45,811
This is 100% silk.
1221
01:06:45,812 --> 01:06:48,312
Go ahead. Put it on. See if it fit.
1222
01:06:49,646 --> 01:06:50,937
[Wining Boy chuckles]
1223
01:06:56,896 --> 01:06:57,937
Ha ha!
1224
01:06:58,479 --> 01:07:01,353
Look at that. Feel it.
1225
01:07:01,354 --> 01:07:03,895
[Lymon] This is nice.
1226
01:07:03,896 --> 01:07:06,228
Feel real nice and smooth.
1227
01:07:06,229 --> 01:07:09,021
That's a $55 suit.
1228
01:07:09,521 --> 01:07:11,603
That's the kind of suit
the big shots wear.
1229
01:07:11,604 --> 01:07:15,021
You need a pistol and a pocketful of money
to wear that suit.
1230
01:07:15,937 --> 01:07:17,978
I'll let you have it for three dollars.
1231
01:07:17,979 --> 01:07:22,354
The women will fall out of their windows
they see you in a suit like that.
1232
01:07:22,937 --> 01:07:25,186
Give me three dollars,
and wear it down the street
1233
01:07:25,187 --> 01:07:26,687
and get you a woman.
1234
01:07:27,396 --> 01:07:29,729
Put the pants on.
Let me see it with the pants.
1235
01:07:32,604 --> 01:07:35,061
Look at that. See how it fit you?
1236
01:07:35,062 --> 01:07:37,186
Give me three dollars,
and go on and take it.
1237
01:07:37,187 --> 01:07:40,978
- Look at that, Doaker. Don't he look nice?
- [Doaker] Mm-hmm. That's a nice suit.
1238
01:07:40,979 --> 01:07:43,228
Got a shirt to go with it.
Cost you a dollar.
1239
01:07:43,229 --> 01:07:45,228
Four dollars, and you got the whole deal.
1240
01:07:45,229 --> 01:07:46,936
How this look, Boy Willie?
1241
01:07:46,937 --> 01:07:49,311
That look nice.
If you like that kind of thing.
1242
01:07:49,312 --> 01:07:52,354
That's the kind of suit you need
for up here in the North.
1243
01:07:52,854 --> 01:07:56,395
Four dollars for everything?
The suit and the shirt?
1244
01:07:56,396 --> 01:07:57,520
That's cheap.
1245
01:07:57,521 --> 01:08:00,687
- I should be charging you $20.
- [Lymon] Okay.
1246
01:08:09,354 --> 01:08:10,979
- [Lymon] Oh.
- [laughing]
1247
01:08:12,146 --> 01:08:13,979
- Here go the four dollars.
- Mm.
1248
01:08:15,146 --> 01:08:17,521
You got some shoes? What size you wear?
1249
01:08:18,062 --> 01:08:19,021
Size nine.
1250
01:08:19,521 --> 01:08:22,853
That's what size I got. Size nine.
I'll let you have 'em for three dollars.
1251
01:08:22,854 --> 01:08:26,103
- Where they at? Let me see 'em.
- Whoo! They some real nice shoes too.
1252
01:08:26,104 --> 01:08:30,228
They got a nice tip to 'em.
Got pointy toe just like you want.
1253
01:08:30,229 --> 01:08:31,437
[laughs]
1254
01:08:32,229 --> 01:08:36,729
Come on, Boy Willie. Let's go out tonight.
I wanna see what it look like up here.
1255
01:08:37,854 --> 01:08:39,687
Maybe we go to the picture show.
1256
01:08:40,187 --> 01:08:42,478
Hey, Doaker.
They got picture shows up here?
1257
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,270
Yeah, the Rhumba Theater.
Down there on Fullerton Street.
1258
01:08:45,271 --> 01:08:48,686
Got a speaker on the sidewalk.
Can't miss it. Boy Willie know where.
1259

Cost you three dollars.
1262
01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:00,145
That's a Florsheim shoe.
That's the kind Stagger Lee wore.
1263
01:09:00,146 --> 01:09:01,271
[Lymon] Mm.
1264
01:09:02,771 --> 01:09:04,436
You sure these size nine?
1265
01:09:04,437 --> 01:09:07,895
You can look at my feet
and see we wear the same size.
1266
01:09:07,896 --> 01:09:10,061
Man, when you put on that suit
and them shoes,
1267
01:09:10,062 --> 01:09:11,728
you'll be the king of the walk.
1268
01:09:11,729 --> 01:09:13,146
I'll give you a break.
1269
01:09:13,687 --> 01:09:16,771
Go on and take 'em for... two dollars.
1270

Come on, Boy Willie.
Let's go find some women.

That's all Lymon think about is women.
1274
01:09:37,854 --> 01:09:41,479
His daddy was the same way.
I used to run around with him.
1275
01:09:42,062 --> 01:09:43,562
And I know his mama too.
1276
01:09:44,062 --> 01:09:46,436
Two strokes back,
and I would've been his daddy.

01:14:49,937 --> 01:14:51,937
[laughs] I talked him out of 35.
1339
01:14:52,979 --> 01:14:54,978
It's a nice spot,
next to Benny's diamond store.
1340
01:14:54,979 --> 01:14:56,229
[Avery] Mm-hmm. Yeah.
1341
01:15:02,521 --> 01:15:03,687
Berniece, uh...
1342
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:07,396
Just...
1343
01:15:08,187 --> 01:15:09,687
Come on. You know, I...
1344
01:15:10,437 --> 01:15:14,104
I be at home, and I... I get to thinking.
1345
01:15:15,812 --> 01:15:18,645
You up here, and I'm down there,
1346
01:15:18,646 --> 01:15:22,062
and I get to thinking how that look
to have a preacher that ain't married.
1347
01:15:24,396 --> 01:15:26,395
I mean, it'd make
for a better congregation
1348
01:15:26,396 --> 01:15:28,978
if the... if the preacher
was settled down and married.
1349
01:15:28,979 --> 01:15:30,396
- Avery.
- Hmm?
1350
01:15:31,687 --> 01:15:32,562
Not now.
1351
01:15:33,604 --> 01:15:34,479
[Avery scoffs]
1352
01:15:35,021 --> 01:15:38,021
Come on, Berniece.
You... you know how I feel about you.
1353
01:15:38,896 --> 01:15:41,686
- Now, I done got the place from Mr. Cohen.
- Mm.
1354
01:15:41,687 --> 01:15:44,603
I get the money from the bank,
I... I can fix it up real nice.
1355
01:15:44,604 --> 01:15:47,687
They give me a ten-cents-an-hour raise
down there on the job.
1356
01:15:48,229 --> 01:15:52,229
And you know me. I ain't got...
I ain't got much in the way of comforts.
1357
01:15:53,021 --> 01:15:53,853
[Avery chuckles]
1358
01:15:53,854 --> 01:15:57,187
I got a hole in my pocket near about
as far as money is concerned.
1359
01:15:58,312 --> 01:15:59,479
But I ain't never
1360
01:16:00,812 --> 01:16:01,936
found my way through life
1361
01:16:01,937 --> 01:16:04,978
to a woman I cares about
like I cares about you, Berniece.
1362
01:16:04,979 --> 01:16:06,436
I need that.
1363
01:16:06,437 --> 01:16:07,479
Avery,
1364
01:16:08,562 --> 01:16:10,271
I ain't ready to get married now.
1365
01:16:11,021 --> 01:16:11,979
[Avery chuckles]
1366
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,478
You too young a woman
to close up, Berniece.
1367
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:17,770
I ain't said nothing about closing up.
I got a lot of woman left in me.
1368
01:16:17,771 --> 01:16:21,771
[chuckles] Well, where's it at?
When's the last time you looked at it?
1369
01:16:24,562 --> 01:16:26,979
[Berniece] That's a nasty thing to say.
1370
01:16:28,229 --> 01:16:29,895
And you call yourself a preacher.
1371
01:16:29,896 --> 01:16:32,895
Anytime I get anywhere near you,
it's like you push me away.
1372
01:16:32,896 --> 01:16:35,103
I got enough on my hands with Maretha.
1373
01:16:35,104 --> 01:16:37,895
I got enough people
to love and take care of.
1374
01:16:37,896 --> 01:16:39,646
Okay, well, who you got to love you?
1375
01:16:42,312 --> 01:16:44,561
Can't nobody get close enough to ya.
1376
01:16:44,562 --> 01:16:47,645
Doaker can't half say nothing to you.
You jump all over Boy Willie.
1377
01:16:47,646 --> 01:16:49,437
Who you got to love you, Berniece?
1378
01:16:50,979 --> 01:16:53,770
You trying to tell me
a woman can't be nothing without a man?
1379
01:16:53,771 --> 01:16:56,479
- [scoffs] Okay.
- But you all right, hmm?
1380
01:16:57,187 --> 01:17:00,811
You can just walk out of here without me,
without a woman, and still be a man.
1381
01:17:00,812 --> 01:17:01,896
That's all right.
1382
01:17:02,396 --> 01:17:05,936
Ain't nobody gonna ask you,
"Avery, who you got to love you?"
1383
01:17:05,937 --> 01:17:07,354
That's all right for you.
1384
01:17:07,979 --> 01:17:10,645
But everybody gonna be worried
about Berniece.
1385
01:17:10,646 --> 01:17:14,311
"How Berniece gonna take care of herself?
How she raise that child without a man?"
1386
01:17:14,312 --> 01:17:16,853
"Wonder what she do with herself.
How she gonna live like that?"
1387
01:17:16,854 --> 01:17:18,853
Everybody got all kinds of questions
for Berniece.
1388
01:17:18,854 --> 01:17:21,103
Telling me I can't be a woman
unless I got a man.
1389
01:17:21,104 --> 01:17:25,145
Well, you tell me, Avery. You know.
How much woman am I?
1390
01:17:25,146 --> 01:17:29,103
It wasn't me, Berniece.
You can't blame me for nobody else.
1391
01:17:29,104 --> 01:17:31,104
I ain't blaming nobody for nothing.
1392
01:17:33,187 --> 01:17:36,062
I'm just... stating facts.
1393
01:17:38,771 --> 01:17:41,396
How long you gonna carry
Crawley with you, Berniece?
1394
01:17:42,771 --> 01:17:44,771
It's been over, what, three years?
1395
01:17:45,896 --> 01:17:49,395
At some point,
you gonna have to let go and go on.
1396
01:17:49,396 --> 01:17:52,145
Life got twists and turns.
That don't mean you stop living.
1397
01:17:52,146 --> 01:17:54,478
Crawley been dead three years, Berniece.
Three years!
1398
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,895
I know how long Crawley been dead.
You ain't got to tell me.
1399
01:17:56,896 --> 01:17:59,020
I... I just ain't ready
to get married right now.
1400
01:17:59,021 --> 01:18:01,021
Well, what is you ready for, Berniece?
1401
01:18:01,854 --> 01:18:04,436
You... you just gonna drift along
from day to day?
1402
01:18:04,437 --> 01:18:07,103
Life's more than about just making it
from one day to another.
1403
01:18:07,104 --> 01:18:10,062
You gonna look up one day,
and it's all gonna be past you.
1404
01:18:10,687 --> 01:18:12,604
I'm standing here right now.
1405
01:18:14,729 --> 01:18:17,354
But I don't know how much longer
I'm gonna be waiting on you.
1406
01:18:18,187 --> 01:18:19,854
Avery, I told you.
1407
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:22,937
When you get your church,
we can sit down and talk about this.
1408
01:18:23,687 --> 01:18:25,895
I got too many other things
to deal with right now.
1409
01:18:25,896 --> 01:18:27,103
Yeah.
1410
01:18:27,104 --> 01:18:28,771
[Berniece] Boy Willie and the piano
1411
01:18:29,646 --> 01:18:30,937
and Sutter's ghost.
1412
01:18:32,187 --> 01:18:34,437
I thought I might've
just been seeing things, but...
1413
01:18:36,146 --> 01:18:37,853
Maretha done seen Sutter's ghost too.
1414
01:18:37,854 --> 01:18:39,061
When this happen, Berniece?
1415
01:18:39,062 --> 01:18:40,896
Right after I came home yesterday.
1416
01:18:42,646 --> 01:18:44,521
Maretha scared to sleep up there now.
1417
01:18:49,312 --> 01:18:53,771
Maybe... if you bless the house,
he'll go away.
1418
01:18:56,104 --> 01:18:58,104
Oh, I... I don't know, Berniece.
1419
01:18:59,604 --> 01:19:02,686
I don't know if I should be fooling around
with something like that now.
1420
01:19:02,687 --> 01:19:05,187
I can't have Maretha
scared to sleep up there.
1421
01:19:06,937 --> 01:19:09,311
Seem like you bless the house,
he would go away.
1422
01:19:09,312 --> 01:19:11,478
You might gotta be
a special kind of preacher
1423
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,104
to do something like that.
1424
01:19:20,646 --> 01:19:22,146
I keep telling myself
1425
01:19:23,312 --> 01:19:26,062
when Boy Willie leave,
he'll go on and leave with him.
1426
01:19:30,021 --> 01:19:32,520
I believe Boy Willie
pushed him in the well.
1427
01:19:32,521 --> 01:19:35,396
No, that's been going on down there
for a long time.
1428
01:19:36,187 --> 01:19:38,395
Ghosts of the Yellow Dog
been pushing people in they wells
1429
01:19:38,396 --> 01:19:40,186
long before Boy Willie got grown.
1430
01:19:40,187 --> 01:19:42,853
Somebody down there
pushing them people in they wells.
1431
01:19:42,854 --> 01:19:44,479
They ain't just upped and fell.
1432
01:19:47,146 --> 01:19:49,521
What Doaker say
about Boy Willie selling that piano?
1433
01:19:50,104 --> 01:19:53,687
Doaker don't want no part of that piano.
He ain't never wanted no part of it.
1434
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,103
He washed his hands of that piano
a long time ago.
1435
01:19:58,104 --> 01:19:59,811
[piano playing softly]
1436
01:19:59,812 --> 01:20:01,561
He ain't want me to bring it up here,
1437
01:20:01,562 --> 01:20:04,687
but... I wasn't gonna leave it down there.
1438
01:20:06,521 --> 01:20:08,645
When my mama died,
I shut the top on that piano,
1439
01:20:08,646 --> 01:20:10,562
and I ain't never opened it since.
1440
01:20:11,854 --> 01:20:13,395
I was only playing it for her.
1441
01:20:13,396 --> 01:20:14,520
[Avery sniffles]
1442
01:20:14,521 --> 01:20:16,728
[uneasy music playing]
1443
01:20:16,729 --> 01:20:21,353
When my daddy died, seem like
all her life went into that piano.
1444
01:20:21,354 --> 01:20:23,437
[piano music playing]
1445
01:20:26,271 --> 01:20:28,146
[Berniece] She used to
have me playing on it.
1446
01:20:31,729 --> 01:20:35,603
Say when I played it,
she could hear my daddy talking to her.
1447
01:20:35,604 --> 01:20:40,436
[woman whispering] Berniece,
I cleaned it up for you. Play something.
1448
01:20:40,437 --> 01:20:44,686
[Berniece] I used to think them pictures
come alive and walk through the house.
1449
01:20:44,687 --> 01:20:45,812
[woman whispers] It's time.
1450
01:20:46,896 --> 01:20:48,604
[Berniece] Sometimes, late at night,
1451
01:20:49,687 --> 01:20:51,521
I could hear my mama talking to 'em.
1452
01:20:55,646 --> 01:20:57,562
I said that wasn't gonna happen to me.
1453
01:20:58,687 --> 01:21:01,937
I don't play on that piano
'cause I don't wanna wake them spirits.
1454
01:21:03,229 --> 01:21:06,271
They never... never be walking around
in this house.
1455
01:21:07,021 --> 01:21:10,104
[Avery] You got to put all of that
behind you, Berniece.
1456
01:21:12,021 --> 01:21:13,937
It's the same thing like Crawley.
1457
01:21:14,687 --> 01:21:17,146
Everybody got stones in their passway.
1458
01:21:19,604 --> 01:21:21,396
You could walk in there right now...
1459
01:21:23,104 --> 01:21:24,437
right now and play that piano.
1460
01:21:26,521 --> 01:21:28,478
You could walk over there right now,
1461
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,604
and God is gonna walk over there
with you, Berniece.
1462
01:21:32,271 --> 01:21:35,312
You could set that sack of stones down
by the side of the road
1463
01:21:35,979 --> 01:21:37,311
and walk away from it.
1464
01:21:37,312 --> 01:21:38,520
Come on, Berniece.
1465
01:21:38,521 --> 01:21:41,936
Come on. Set it down
and walk away from it, Berniece.
1466
01:21:41,937 --> 01:21:46,978
Come on. Walk... walk over here and claim it
as an instrument of the Lord, Berniece.
1467
01:21:46,979 --> 01:21:50,271
You can walk over here right now
and make it into a celebration.
1468
01:21:51,854 --> 01:21:54,146
Avery, I done told you
I don't play on that piano.
1469
01:21:55,146 --> 01:21:56,103
Now or no other time.
1470
01:21:56,104 --> 01:21:59,312
The Bible say,
"The Lord is my refuge and my strength."
1471
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,061
With the strength of God,
you can put the past behind you, Berniece.
1472
01:22:03,062 --> 01:22:05,646
With the strength of God,
you can do anything.
1473
01:22:06,979 --> 01:22:10,228
God don't ask you what you done.
God ask you what you gonna do.
1474
01:22:10,229 --> 01:22:13,937
And all you got to do
is walk over here right now and claim it.
1475
01:22:20,521 --> 01:22:21,562
Come on, Berniece.
1476
01:22:24,521 --> 01:22:25,354
Come on.
1477
01:22:27,062 --> 01:22:28,062
That's it.
1478
01:22:37,979 --> 01:22:38,937
Avery,
1479
01:22:39,896 --> 01:22:40,729
just...
1480
01:22:43,062 --> 01:22:44,104
go on
1481
01:22:45,896 --> 01:22:47,521
and let me finish my bath.
1482
01:22:51,312 --> 01:22:52,479
I'll see you tomorrow.
1483
01:22:57,104 --> 01:22:58,271
[Avery exhales sharply]
1484
01:22:59,896 --> 01:23:01,062
Okay, Berniece.
1485
01:23:04,354 --> 01:23:05,812
Okay, I'm gonna go home.
1486
01:23:07,521 --> 01:23:12,021
I... I'm gonna go home...
and I'm gonna read up on my Bible.
1487
01:23:13,146 --> 01:23:14,562
And tomorrow...
1488
01:23:18,937 --> 01:23:21,062
If the good Lord
give me strength tomorrow,
1489
01:23:22,437 --> 01:23:25,479
I'm gonna come by here,
and I'm gonna bless this house.
1490
01:23:27,937 --> 01:23:29,686
I'm gonna show you the power of the Lord.
1491
01:23:29,687 --> 01:23:31,646
[footsteps retreating]
1492
01:23:33,062 --> 01:23:34,979

01:35:24,937 --> 01:35:27,228
Boy Willie, go on and leave me alone.
1669
01:35:27,229 --> 01:35:32,145
Why don't you leave her alone?
What you got to pick with her for?
1670
01:35:32,146 --> 01:35:35,145
Why don't you go on out here
and see what's out here in these streets?
1671
01:35:35,146 --> 01:35:38,311
- Have something to tell down home.
- I'm waiting on Lymon to get back.
1672
01:35:38,312 --> 01:35:40,561
Why don't you go out there
and see what's in the streets?
1673
01:35:40,562 --> 01:35:42,311
You ain't got to work tomorrow.
1674
01:35:42,312 --> 01:35:45,020
I gotta stay right here.
Make sure y'all don't kill one another.
1675
01:35:45,021 --> 01:35:49,186
You ought to be talking to Berniece.
Telling Maretha she wish she was a boy.
1676
01:35:49,187 --> 01:35:51,895
What kind of thing is that
to say to a child?
1677
01:35:51,896 --> 01:35:54,979
If you gonna tell her something,
tell her about that piano.
1678
01:35:55,937 --> 01:35:58,520
You ain't even told her.
Like that's something to be ashamed of.
1679
01:35:58,521 --> 01:36:00,061
Let me take care of my child.
1680
01:36:00,062 --> 01:36:02,353
When you get one,
you can teach it what you want.
1681
01:36:02,354 --> 01:36:04,354
Why I wanna bring a child into this world?
1682
01:36:04,854 --> 01:36:07,937
Why I wanna bring somebody else
into all this for?
1683
01:36:08,687 --> 01:36:09,937
I tell you this.
1684
01:36:11,604 --> 01:36:15,646
[scoffs] If I was Rockefeller,
I'd have 40 or 50.
1685
01:36:16,146 --> 01:36:17,311
I'd make one every day
1686
01:36:17,312 --> 01:36:20,354
'cause they gonna start out in life
with all the advantages.
1687
01:36:20,854 --> 01:36:22,811
I ain't got no advantages to offer nobody.
1688
01:36:22,812 --> 01:36:26,478
Many is the time I looked at my daddy,
seen him staring off at his hands.
1689
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:28,436
I got older, I know what he was thinking.
1690
01:36:28,437 --> 01:36:29,811
He was sitting there saying,
1691
01:36:29,812 --> 01:36:33,312
"I got these big old hands,
but what I'm gonna do with 'em?"
1692
01:36:34,229 --> 01:36:36,895
"Got these big old hands
capable of doing anything."
1693
01:36:36,896 --> 01:36:39,270
"I could take and build something
with these hands,
1694
01:36:39,271 --> 01:36:41,353
but where's the tools?"
1695
01:36:41,354 --> 01:36:43,104
"All I got is these hands."
1696
01:36:44,062 --> 01:36:47,270
Now, if he had his own land, Berniece,
he wouldn't have felt that way.
1697
01:36:47,271 --> 01:36:48,853
If he had something...
1698
01:36:48,854 --> 01:36:51,686
If he had something under his feet
that belonged to him,
1699
01:36:51,687 --> 01:36:52,936
he could stand up taller.
1700
01:36:52,937 --> 01:36:54,521
That's what I'm talking about.
1701
01:36:55,021 --> 01:36:57,436
Ain't no mystery to life.
You go out and meet it square on.
1702
01:36:57,437 --> 01:36:59,853
If you teach that girl
that she living at the bottom of life,
1703
01:36:59,854 --> 01:37:00,895
she gonna hate you.
1704
01:37:00,896 --> 01:37:04,479
I'm gonna teach her the truth.
It's just where she living.
1705
01:37:05,104 --> 01:37:08,311
Only she ain't got to stay there.
Turn your head over to the other side.
1706
01:37:08,312 --> 01:37:10,603
That might be your bottom,
but it ain't mine.
1707
01:37:10,604 --> 01:37:12,103
I'm living at the top of life.
1708
01:37:12,104 --> 01:37:14,603
I ain't gonna take my life
and throw it away at the bottom.
1709
01:37:14,604 --> 01:37:16,145
I'm in the world like everybody else.
1710
01:37:16,146 --> 01:37:19,603
The way I see it, everybody else
gotta come up a little to be where I am.
1711
01:37:19,604 --> 01:37:21,561
You right at the bottom
with the rest of us.
1712
01:37:21,562 --> 01:37:23,686
[Boy Willie] If you believe that,
you'll act that way.
1713
01:37:23,687 --> 01:37:25,520
If you act that way,
that's where you'll be.
1714
01:37:25,521 --> 01:37:28,770
Doaker, Berniece say all colored folks
living at the bottom of life.
1715
01:37:28,771 --> 01:37:31,061
I tell her she think that,
that's where she gonna be.
1716
01:37:31,062 --> 01:37:33,853
You living at the bottom of life?
Is that how you see yourself?
1717
01:37:33,854 --> 01:37:37,811
I'm just living the best way I know how.
Ain't thinking about no top or no bottom.
1718
01:37:37,812 --> 01:37:39,811
[Boy Willie] That's what
I tried to tell Berniece.
1719
01:37:39,812 --> 01:37:43,853
I don't know where she got that from.
Sound like something Avery would say.
1720
01:37:43,854 --> 01:37:46,728
Avery think 'cause the white man
give him a turkey for Thanksgiving,
1721
01:37:46,729 --> 01:37:48,603
that make him better than everybody else.
1722
01:37:48,604 --> 01:37:50,520
That gonna raise him up
out the bottom of life.
1723
01:37:50,521 --> 01:37:53,936
I don't need nobody to give me a turkey.
I can get my own turkey.
1724
01:37:53,937 --> 01:37:57,728
All you got to do is get out of my way.
I'll get me two or three turkeys.
1725
01:37:57,729 --> 01:38:00,603
You can't even get a chicken,
let alone two or three turkeys.
1726
01:38:00,604 --> 01:38:03,186
Talking about get out your way.
Ain't nobody in your way.
1727
01:38:03,187 --> 01:38:04,895
Straighten your head up, Maretha.
1728
01:38:04,896 --> 01:38:07,354
Don't be bending down like that.
You hold your head up.
1729
01:38:09,146 --> 01:38:11,937
All you ever had going for you is talk.
1730
01:38:13,021 --> 01:38:15,521
Your whole life,
that's all you ever had going for you.
1731
01:38:24,354 --> 01:38:27,479
I'm gonna tell you something about me.
1732
01:38:29,229 --> 01:38:31,021
I was born to a time of fire.
1733
01:38:31,937 --> 01:38:34,812
The world ain't wanted no part of me,
and I could see that
1734
01:38:35,646 --> 01:38:38,396
ever since I was about... seven.
1735
01:38:39,604 --> 01:38:41,937
The world say it's better off without me.
1736
01:38:42,896 --> 01:38:44,812
See, Berniece accept that.
1737
01:38:45,396 --> 01:38:47,645
She trying to prove something
to the world.
1738
01:38:47,646 --> 01:38:51,353
The world a better place 'cause of me.
I don't see it like Berniece.
1739
01:38:51,354 --> 01:38:54,728
I got a heart that beats.
It beats just as loud as the next fella's.
1740
01:38:54,729 --> 01:38:57,312
Don't care if he Black or white.
1741
01:38:59,771 --> 01:39:01,271
Sometimes it beats louder.
1742
01:39:02,354 --> 01:39:05,061
And when it beats louder,
then everybody can hear it.
1743
01:39:05,062 --> 01:39:07,603
Some people get scared of that.
Like Berniece.
1744
01:39:07,604 --> 01:39:10,437
Some people get scared
to hear a nigger's heart beating.
1745
01:39:13,271 --> 01:39:15,229
But my mama ain't birth me for nothing.
1746
01:39:16,979 --> 01:39:18,229
So what I got to do?
1747
01:39:20,812 --> 01:39:25,021
Gotta make my mark along the road,
like when... when you write on a tree.
1748
01:39:27,604 --> 01:39:28,854
"Boy Willie was here."
1749
01:39:32,562 --> 01:39:34,604
That's all I'm trying to do
with that piano.
1750
01:39:36,146 --> 01:39:40,562
Trying to make my mark along the road
like... like my daddy done.
1751
01:39:44,396 --> 01:39:47,103
Other than that, I ain't thinking
about nothing Berniece got to say.
1752
01:39:47,104 --> 01:39:48,354
[knocking at door]
1753
01:39:52,812 --> 01:39:54,521
[Boy Willie] Where you been, nigger?
1754
01:39:55,396 --> 01:39:56,562
Oh, I thought you was Lymon.
1755
01:39:58,771 --> 01:40:02,436
- Hey, Berniece, look who's here.
- [Doaker] Come on in, Avery. Have a seat.
1756
01:40:02,437 --> 01:40:05,062
Don't pay neither of them no mind.
They been fussing all day.
1757
01:40:06,021 --> 01:40:08,104
[Berniece] Here, set that comb back
over on that stove.
1758
01:40:08,729 --> 01:40:11,645
[Doaker] Berniece said you was coming by
to bless the house.
1759
01:40:11,646 --> 01:40:13,646
[Avery] Yeah, I done read up on my Bible.
1760
01:40:14,146 --> 01:40:16,645
She asked me to see about
getting rid of Sutter's ghost.
1761
01:40:16,646 --> 01:40:19,811
Ain't no ghost in this house.
That's all in Berniece's head.
1762
01:40:19,812 --> 01:40:21,103
[Doaker] Let her find that out.
1763
01:40:21,104 --> 01:40:24,353
If blessing the house gonna make her
feel better, what it got to do with you?
1764
01:40:24,354 --> 01:40:26,146
Berniece say Maretha seen him too.
1765
01:40:27,271 --> 01:40:30,270
I don't know, but I found
a part in the Bible to bless this house.
1766
01:40:30,271 --> 01:40:32,228
If he here,
then that ought to make him go away.
1767
01:40:32,229 --> 01:40:34,353
You worse than Berniece
believing that stuff.
1768
01:40:34,354 --> 01:40:37,145
Talking about if he here.
Go on up there and find out.
1769
01:40:37,146 --> 01:40:39,104
I've been up there, and I ain't seen him.
1770
01:40:39,812 --> 01:40:43,728
If you say that Bible will make the man
leave her imagination, you might be right.
1771
01:40:43,729 --> 01:40:45,853
- But if--
- Boy Willie, why don't you be quiet?
1772
01:40:45,854 --> 01:40:48,395
Getting in the man's business.
This got nothing to do with you.
1773
01:40:48,396 --> 01:40:49,728
Let him do what he gonna do.
1774
01:40:49,729 --> 01:40:52,479
I ain't stopping him.
Avery ain't got power to do nothing.
1775
01:40:53,146 --> 01:40:55,687
[Avery] I ain't got no power, Boy Willie.
God got the power.
1776
01:40:56,354 --> 01:40:58,228
God got power
over everything in his creation.
1777
01:40:58,229 --> 01:41:01,812
God can do anything. God say,
"As I commandeth, so shall it be."
1778
01:41:02,396 --> 01:41:05,146
God said, "Let there be light,"
and there was light.
1779
01:41:05,646 --> 01:41:08,186
He made the world in six days,
and he rested on the seventh.
1780
01:41:08,187 --> 01:41:11,103
God's got a wonderful power.
God got power over life and death.
1781
01:41:11,104 --> 01:41:13,478
I ain't afraid of him chasing away
no little old ghost.
1782
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:15,187
[knocking at door]
1783
01:41:17,396 --> 01:41:18,562
[knocking at door]
1784
01:41:19,146 --> 01:41:21,853
Where you been? I been waiting on you.
You run off somewhere.
1785
01:41:21,854 --> 01:41:24,145
I ran into Grace.
1786
01:41:24,146 --> 01:41:26,229
[Boy Willie] I ain't thinking about
no Grace nothing.
1787
01:41:30,854 --> 01:41:32,104
Hi, Berniece.
1788
01:41:33,812 --> 01:41:36,145
Lymon, give me that rope,
get on the other side of the piano.
1789
01:41:36,146 --> 01:41:38,936
Now, Boy Willie, don't start nothing now.
1790
01:41:38,937 --> 01:41:40,811
Leave that piano alone.
1791
01:41:40,812 --> 01:41:44,021
[Boy Willie] Watch that board, Lymon.
Stay out of this, Doaker.
1792
01:41:44,562 --> 01:41:47,811
[Doaker] You can't just take the piano.
How you gonna just take the piano?
1793
01:41:47,812 --> 01:41:50,478
Berniece ain't said nothing
about selling that piano.
1794
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:53,770
She ain't got to. Come on, Lymon.
We got to lift one end at a time.
1795
01:41:53,771 --> 01:41:56,936
- What we gonna do with the rope?
- [Boy Willie] Just get on the other side.
1796
01:41:56,937 --> 01:41:58,354
Boy Willie-- Berniece.
1797
01:41:58,979 --> 01:42:01,520
[Lymon] Boy Willie,
you sure you wanna do this?
1798
01:42:01,521 --> 01:42:04,978
Oh, Berniece, Boy Willie,
y'all ought to sit down and talk this out.
1799
01:42:04,979 --> 01:42:06,271
Ain't nothing to talk out.
1800
01:42:08,687 --> 01:42:10,271
I'm through talking to Berniece.
1801
01:42:10,854 --> 01:42:12,061
Come on, Lymon.
1802
01:42:12,062 --> 01:42:13,895
Maretha, get on out the way.
1803
01:42:13,896 --> 01:42:15,436
Get her out the way, Doaker!
1804
01:42:15,437 --> 01:42:18,062
[Doaker] Come on. Come on.
Go and do like your mama said.
1805
01:42:18,562 --> 01:42:20,603
[door opens, closes]
1806
01:42:20,604 --> 01:42:23,562
Man, these niggers round here!
1807
01:42:24,437 --> 01:42:26,770
I stopped down there at Seefus.
1808
01:42:26,771 --> 01:42:30,186
These folks jumping back
and getting off the sidewalk
1809
01:42:30,187 --> 01:42:32,812
talking about a Patchneck Red's coming.
1810
01:42:33,729 --> 01:42:35,104
Come to find out,
1811
01:42:35,979 --> 01:42:38,229
you know who they was talking about?
1812
01:42:40,104 --> 01:42:43,104
Old John D. from up around Tyler.
1813
01:42:43,896 --> 01:42:47,937
He got everybody scared of him.
Calling him Patchneck Red.
1814
01:42:48,687 --> 01:42:52,895
They don't know
I whupped the nigger's head in one time.
1815
01:42:52,896 --> 01:42:54,978
[Boy Willie] Make sure
that board don't slide, Lymon.
1816
01:42:54,979 --> 01:42:56,645
Hey, Boy Willie, what you got?
1817
01:42:56,646 --> 01:42:58,770
I know you got a pint
stuck up in your coat.
1818
01:42:58,771 --> 01:43:00,395
Get out the way, Wining Boy.
1819
01:43:00,396 --> 01:43:02,728
Hey, Doaker, what you got?
Give me a drink. I want a drink.
1820
01:43:02,729 --> 01:43:05,353
It look like you done had enough
of whatever it was.
1821
01:43:05,354 --> 01:43:08,103
Talking about "What you got?"
Find somewhere to lay down.
1822
01:43:08,104 --> 01:43:10,353
I ain't worried
about no place to lie down.
1823
01:43:10,354 --> 01:43:13,728
I can always find me a place to lay down
