00:03:11 [ALARM SToPS]
00:03:45 Well...
00:03:48 ...we got him off again.
00:03:57 Look, we know he doesn't mean
00:04:00 ...but the judge doesn't know it.
00:04:02 The next time
00:04:04 ...I don't think they'll let him off
00:04:07 So for all our sakes...
00:04:09 ...make it clear to him
00:05:42 [KNoCKING]
00:07:46 It ain't Singer's business.
00:07:48 I'm his family.
00:07:51 - And I say he gets committed.
00:07:53 On account of I don't want to be
00:07:55 ...for whatever that dummy
00:07:58 [SPEAKING IN GREEK]
00:08:00 What if Singer assumed legal custody
00:08:05 Would that satisfy you?
00:08:07 I guess. Only till it's all legal,
00:08:12 But it's a mental hospital.
00:08:14 What do you want from me, mister?
00:08:16 I got a wife and four kids
00:08:20 I tell you, I would do the same thing
00:08:24 Yeah, I'm sure you would.
00:09:32 [PEoPLE CHATTERING]
00:10:32 [PANTING]
00:10:52 Look.
00:10:54 Now, look.
00:10:56 Look, I've been thinking.
00:10:59 This custody business
00:11:02 But there's no reason
00:11:04 Now, it's just an idea, mind you.
00:11:07 But maybe you'd be happier moving
00:11:11 And it's not as if you got anything
00:11:17 Of course, I'll hate like hell
00:11:20 I'll miss our chess games.
00:11:22 But I gotta admit, it'd be a lot easier
00:11:25 ...some place
00:11:27 BEAUDINE: Jefferson, for instance,
00:11:31 If you'd be interested, I got a cousin
00:11:34 I could write him about you.
00:11:36 I mean, even if he doesn't need
00:11:39 ...he'd be bound to know
00:11:42 Hell, Jefferson's practically a city.

00:14:45 If you're selling something,
00:15:05 MRS. KELLY:
00:15:07 Oh, there's somebody about the room,
00:15:11 MRS. KELLY
00:15:14 Well, we do have a room,
00:15:19 Come on in then, I'll show it to you.
00:16:06 Hey, Papa, guess what.
00:16:08 BUBBER:
00:16:09 You can't give up
00:16:12 Besides, who asked you?
00:16:14 Well, Mick, let's see,
00:16:17 There's a man up there.
00:16:18 - He's a deaf-mute person.
00:16:21 A dummy.
00:16:25 Ugh. I sure hope Mama won't let him.
00:16:28 I'd feel sort of creepy
00:16:32 - It ain't your room, not anymore.
00:16:36 How do you know this guy's
00:16:39 He's got a card says so.
00:16:41 It's all about how he can read lips
00:16:46 If he can't hear, how's he going to know
00:16:51 Huh. What if I could read lips?
00:16:54 Hey, Bubber, now you say something.
00:16:57 ...and see if I can read your lips.
00:17:00 - Well, I finally rented that room.
00:17:03 - Did you give him that new word?
00:17:05 BUBBER:
00:17:06 Yes, but you're not to call him that,
00:17:09 He's paying more than I expected
00:17:12 - So don't you trouble him.
00:17:15 - No, I told you not to bother him.
00:17:20 MRS. KELLY: Mick, you take Ralph
00:17:22 - Oh, Mama, do I have to?
00:17:25 Oh, all right.
00:17:28 - Shut up about the room.
00:17:30 - Just shut up.
00:17:35 We need that money.
00:17:37 You won't be fit to go back to work
00:17:40 What in God's name
00:17:44 - I'm sorry, Papa.
00:17:48 Come on, Bubber.
00:17:54 Mama, how can this guy
00:17:57 A glass of water or something?
00:17:59 Oh, he, uh, just writes a little note, see?
00:18:03 Better not ask me then, I can't read.
00:18:14 He is paying $20.
00:19:03 [PIANo PLAYING]
00:19:31 [RALPH CRYING]
00:19:32 BUBBER:
00:19:36 Well, see what he wants
00:19:43 Why, Mick Kelly.
00:19:46 Hi, Delores.
00:19:50 Uh, got Ralph and Bubber out for a walk.
00:19:52 Would you like to come inside
00:19:55 No, she's taking us for a walk.
00:19:57 [SCoFFS]
00:19:59 Don't let me interrupt your playing.
00:20:01 Practicing, and my poor hands
00:20:04 Been at it for two whole hours.
00:20:07 It sure sounded real good.
00:20:11 What was it?
00:20:12 "The Rondo" from Mozart's
00:20:15 - Mozart?
00:20:18 Oh.
00:20:21 Can you play anything else by him?
00:20:23 DELoRES: Not now. It's time
00:20:26 - What party?
00:20:28 Oh, I guess I put my foot in it.
00:20:33 Well, she didn't ask me.
00:20:35 I could just bite my tongue.
00:20:39 Well, so long, Delores.
00:20:57 BUBBER:
00:20:59 I'm gonna be famous some day
00:21:02 ...I don't want folks
00:21:05 ...even if I was just a child
00:21:08 I sure would admire to have that one
00:21:11 ...and all the people getting killed.
00:21:17 Okay.
00:21:20 You love me?
00:21:21 Of course I do.
00:21:24 Oh, I don't mean that way.
00:21:26 I mean, would you love me
00:21:30 If you wasn't my sister,
00:21:32 Well, suppose I wasn't your sister
00:21:38 - Lf you wasn't my sister...
00:21:40 ...and I knew you...
00:21:43 ...I wouldn't love you.
00:21:46 Who wants you to love me?
00:21:50 You know less about things than I do.
00:21:54 Mick, is that you?
00:21:57 MICK: Yes, Papa.
00:22:00 - Nothing.
00:22:02 ...come on in here and do it then.
00:22:04 - Are both the boys in bed?
00:22:07 [DoG BARKING oUTSIDE]
00:22:11 - Still working on that same watch?
00:22:15 You must be about the best
00:22:18 Spread that around, will you?
00:22:20 I could sure use the extra business.
00:22:23 Oh, Papa, nobody expects you
00:22:26 ...while your hip's still mending.
00:22:29 BUBBER:
00:22:30 - Papa.
00:22:32 Yes, honey.
00:22:33 You think some day,
00:22:36 ...do you think maybe
00:22:41 Well, Mick...
00:22:42 Why not make it a solid gold one
00:22:45 No, really, Papa, could we?
00:22:47 Well, Mick, I don't know.
00:22:51 And it ain't as if any one of us
00:22:54 I could learn.
00:22:55 That'd take more money.
00:22:57 Mick, I tell you, if you're so set
00:23:00 ...I could carve you out a ukulele.
00:23:02 Oh, Papa. That's just a kid toy.
00:23:06 I bet you Mozart never wrote any music
00:23:10 Maybe when I'm better
00:23:12 Don't go putting those kind of notions
00:23:15 If and when you go back to work,
00:23:19 ...before we start throwing it away
00:23:25 If I can't have a piano,
00:23:28 A party?
00:23:29 Honestly, Mick,
00:23:32 It doesn't seem like so much to ask,
00:23:35 Please, Mama.
00:23:37 Well, I just can't see
00:23:40 And it's not like you get invited
00:23:43 ...that you have to give one.
00:23:45 Well, maybe if I gave one myself
00:23:48 Ha, she's got a point there.
00:23:50 Oh, you, you'd side with her
00:23:56 Don't you worry, baby.
00:23:58 She'll come round.
00:24:00 You just leave it to me.
00:24:01 Oh, Papa, that's what you always say.
00:24:06 You getting fresh with me?
00:24:08 That's what you said about
00:24:11 You said you wouldn't let her rent it.
00:24:13 But she did. And to that cripple.
00:24:16 - Now you get out of here!

00:27:24 If I could only find me something
00:27:29 ...hold on to.
00:27:33 I might have a chance to make
00:27:36 Or at least something different.
00:27:39 At least different. I mean...

00:27:45 You think that's funny?

00:32:19 ...because if you do,
00:32:22 Seems to me you already did that
00:32:25 No, Father, I didn't choose between you.
00:32:28 I only chose to marry him
00:32:32 Uh, when I think of all the plans...
00:32:35 Those were your plans, not mine.
00:32:38 Well, you could have done something,
00:32:42 PoRTIA:
00:32:44 I married a man I love
00:32:49 I raised you to be something better.
00:32:52 Well, I wasn't better.
00:32:54 I was different.

00:40:57 Not with money.
00:41:01 I have a patient.

00:41:05 It is very difficult for me to treat him...

00:41:10 I have a patient, a deaf-mute.
00:41:13 It is very difficult for me
00:41:16 ...without specific answers

00:56:22 Did you have a nice day?
00:56:26 Nice day?
00:56:30 You feeling okay?
00:56:38 Yeah.
00:56:52 I guess you'd... I guess you'd really
00:57:31 You're lonely.
00:57:35 I never thought about anybody else
00:57:42 But you are, aren't you?
00:57:52 Boy, all this time I thought I was
00:57:58 But you know what?
00:58:00 Since I found music...
00:58:03 oh, well, since you bought
00:58:06 ...I don't get lonely anymore.
00:58:08 Well, I do get lonely, you know, but l...
00:58:11 Soon as I listen to the music,
00:58:15 Sometimes I can even make it go away
00:58:20 And then other times, I can...
00:58:23 Now, you won't laugh
00:58:27 I make up tunes of my own.
00:58:31 You know, I think up music
00:58:37 I wish you had something like music.
00:58:43 Hey, may... Maybe I could
00:58:47 Describe it to you.
00:58:50 Would you like me to try?
00:58:53 Okay.
00:59:00 [CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
00:59:09 The beginning.
00:59:13 Now, it's slow and kind of solemn.
00:59:19 Like old ladies when you see them
00:59:23 Oh, now a horn comes in here.
00:59:26 A horn, a horn. Yeah.
00:59:29 But it sounds like the sun feels
00:59:32 ...when you don't have a hat on.
00:59:34 Oh, and everything's
00:59:37 Each part has a different speed, you see.
00:59:42 [SINGING]
00:59:46 It's like water running downhill.
00:59:50 Like the leaves are, you know,
00:59:55 ...when the wind blows them all
00:59:57 You ever seen that?
01:00:01 Now all the instruments
01:00:03 It's as if they were dancing.
01:00:05 Some of them to one tune,
01:00:07 But it all works.
01:00:11 Oh, I wish I could make you hear.
01:00:14 No, not like that. I mean, really hear.
01:00:37 [MUSIC SToPS]
01:00:42 [RECoRD CLICKING]
01:00:51 That's very good.
01:00:53 Um, only, the record's over now.
01:01:19 Guess I'd better go now.
01:02:00 CoPELAND:
01:02:02 Ask him, does he still have pain?
01:02:22 Mm-hm.
01:02:25 Now ask him, does he still want
01:02:30 Ask him, does he still want
01:02:43 Mm-hm.
01:02:45 Will you tell him he can't go to school
01:03:00 CoPELAND:
01:03:36 There's Horace struggling against odds...
01:03:39 ...that you can well appreciate
01:03:45 While my own daughter...
01:03:47 oh, yes. Yes, I have a daughter.
01:03:51 She had everything right in her lap,
01:03:55 I'd hoped she'd become a doctor.
01:03:59 She chose to become a maid.

01:06:26 We ain't fixing to cause any trouble,
01:06:30 Oh, yeah?

01:06:34 It'll be a pleasure.

01:08:12 No! Willie! Stop it!
01:08:15 CoPELAND: Did he kill him?
01:08:16 But he cut him up real bad.
01:08:20 Somebody said
01:08:23 And Willie? What about William?
01:08:25 - Where is he?
01:08:28 They're gonna sentence him
01:08:30 No. No, they can't do that.
01:08:34 Sheriff says that'll just be a formality.
01:08:36 He said there'd been
01:08:39 ...and he means
00:00:03 You gotta help him, Father.
00:00:05 If you would tell the sheriff
00:00:09 ...and how it was the white man
00:00:12 That Willie was only defending himself,
00:00:15 CoPELAND: You're being hysterical.
00:00:18 No. We all look alike to white folks.
00:00:21 The blacks will say anything
00:00:23 Portia, that is perjury.
00:00:26 - I couldn't do that.
00:00:29 - That's what happened.
00:00:36 Father.
00:00:43 You're always talking
00:00:46 Who is "people"?
00:00:47 Willie is "people." And so am I.
00:00:50 And I'm asking you to help us.
00:00:54 Us.
00:00:57 And you won't do it?
00:01:05 Because I wouldn't do what you wanted.
00:01:10 Because I stayed here
00:01:15 Because we don't see eye to eye

00:01:53 They're not weeds.
00:01:56 It don't seem fair
00:01:59 ...and now I can't come to the party.
00:02:03 I bet she invited Mr. Singer.
00:02:05 Well, if he just happens to drop in.
00:02:07 [SING-SoNG]
00:02:10 Mick's got a crush on Mr. Singer.
00:02:12 Okay, Bubber.
00:02:13 That's just too silly.

00:04:39 Well, they got off scot-free.
00:04:41 And you know,
00:04:44 They said I was irrelevant
00:04:46 Irrelevant and immaterial,
00:04:49 No, no, I told you,
00:04:54 I'm sorry we never had that chess game.
00:04:57 But I'll think about you, Singer.
00:05:00 I could talk to you.
00:05:03 And you listened.
00:05:05 You old dummy, you really listened.
00:05:14 Sometimes I think
00:05:36 CoPELAND:
00:05:38 Glad to see you.
00:05:47 An old friend of mine.
00:05:51 Treated him for tuberculosis
00:05:54 Cured him too.

00:21:34 Then they locked Willie
00:21:37 ...in the smokehouse near the camp.
00:21:40 They chained their legs to the wall.

00:21:47 But they jammed it in anyway.

00:23:07 All I know is that I asked you for help...
00:23:10 ...and you wouldn't help
00:23:13 - What can I say?
00:23:15 You already had your chance once.
00:23:19 Must be something I can do.
00:23:21 I'll tell you what you're gonna do.
00:23:23 They're sending Willie home
00:23:26 He's gonna need a lot of care.
00:23:27 - So we're gonna move in here.
00:23:29 I'll cook and do the cleaning and such...
00:23:33 ...but all the time you'll know
00:23:40 I got a feeling I'm a mighty good hater.
00:23:43 And if I ain't...
00:23:45 ...I can learn to be.

00:30:07 Seems there's some very bad news
00:30:14 I don't understand it all,
00:30:19 But it seems like I may never have
00:30:23 Oh, Papa, I'm sorry.
00:30:25 I know, baby.
00:30:27 Anyway,
00:30:31 ...we can't figure on your papa
00:30:34 From now on, anything he earns
00:30:37 Mama.
00:30:39 A fact's a fact. I can't change that.
00:30:44 Anyway, Mick...
00:30:46 ...your mama and I
00:30:48 And we've been going over it,
00:30:52 And the long and short of it is
00:30:55 Like what?
00:31:04 We thought you could, uh, keep working
00:31:09 ...and go to school nights.
00:31:11 Just for this next year.
00:31:12 Oh, Papa, I can't quit school.
00:31:15 Well, you won't be quitting.
00:31:18 I've seen kids do that.
00:31:20 Pretty soon, they don't go nights either.
00:31:23 Margaret, maybe there's some way...
00:31:25 ...we haven't figured yet...
00:31:27 The only other way
00:31:29 Mick would have to stay home
00:31:32 No, this is the only way.
00:31:33 But Mama, I wanna make something
00:31:38 I got this feeling inside me
00:31:42 We all have that feeling
00:31:45 It will pass.
00:31:46 Margaret, don't.
00:31:48 Well, I know it won't be easy.
00:31:50 But without a high school diploma,
00:31:52 The same chance I had.
00:31:54 You'll meet some fellow and get married.
00:31:58 You'll have kids.
00:32:03 - You make it sound awful.
00:32:06 - It's not awful.
00:32:09 And lying to her
00:32:12 Margaret.
00:32:14 You let me speak to her alone.
00:32:17 Now?
00:32:25 Mick, baby.
00:32:27 - Yes, Papa?
00:32:33 Now, if you feel you just gotta stay
00:32:37 ...why, we'll find a way.
00:32:41 - How?
00:32:43 You just trust your old Papa.
00:32:46 Okay?
00:32:49 Now, come on,
00:32:51 [SoBBING]
00:32:53 Good night, Papa.
00:33:07 MR. KELLY:
00:33:08 Promise you won't get to hate me
00:33:13 Oh, Papa.
00:33:15 I couldn't hate you.
00:33:17 Not for anything.
00:33:19 Thank you, baby.
00:33:22 - I love you.
00:33:26 Good night.
00:33:29 Good night.
00:33:36 Mick.
00:33:40 Good night.
00:33:42 - Good night, Mama.
00:33:45 I'm not trying to be cruel.
00:33:47 I'm only doing the best I know how.
00:33:50 I gotta think
00:33:53 Papa and Bubber and Ralph,
00:33:56 I understand.
00:34:00 And I know I don't show it very much
00:34:04 Well, uh...
00:34:07 I do love you, honey.
00:34:10 Good night, Mama.
00:34:22 [CRYING]
00:34:46 Hi.
00:34:49 Father has Willie down
00:34:52 I'm going down there.
00:35:09 What I don't understand is
00:35:12 I know it ain't there anymore.
00:35:14 So, what makes it hurt, doc?
00:35:16 Well, those are
00:35:20 The nerves haven't adjusted yet
00:35:23 Now, the pain is really up here.
00:35:25 It only feels like it's down in your leg.
00:35:27 Oh.
00:35:30 [CAR APPRoACHES]
00:35:35 Portia.
00:35:37 PoRTIA:
00:35:39 Singer.
00:35:41 Thank you, Mr. Singer.
00:35:44 Thank you.
00:35:46 I ain't read but one of them.
00:35:48 - You know, doc, about them pains?
00:35:52 You think it might be because I'm here...
00:35:54 ...and my leg is still someplace
00:35:59 Would it help any if we get it back?
00:36:01 Don't know for a fact. It might.
00:36:05 PoRTIA: Then maybe Father
00:36:07 ...and ask them to send it here.
00:36:10 Father would do anything for you,
00:36:12 CoPELAND:
00:36:13 Yes, sir.
00:36:15 Father would do anything for you now.
00:36:18 Now, when it's too late.
00:36:20 Portia, that ain't no way
00:36:23 - We got to live together now.
00:36:27 Just one big, happy family.
00:36:34 CoPELAND:
00:36:36 Well, what's the matter, Father?
00:36:38 Am I embarrassing you
00:36:41 Oh, you don't have to feel
00:36:44 After all, ha, you're pretty white yourself.
00:37:12 It's not her fault.
00:37:16 She's half out of her mind
00:37:18 Grief for Willie, hatred for me.
00:37:21 I must show her where I stand.
00:37:24 I'll make a formal protest
00:37:28 But I'm afraid.
00:37:29 Afraid of what they'll do to me.
00:37:32 I'll be gone in a few months
00:37:36 But I must do it.
00:38:00 Can I help you?
00:38:02 CoPELAND: I'm Dr. Copeland.
00:38:05 Have you got an appointment?
00:38:06 No, but I don't mind waiting
00:38:09 - Maybe if you told me about it.
00:38:12 - Family business.
00:38:18 Uncle.
00:38:20 I'm sure I can bring that man in
00:38:47 What's all this I hear about you
00:38:51 Well, I wanna learn. She can teach me.
00:38:53 Ha, ha, you've got to be kidding.
00:38:55 I mean, she's the worst piano player
00:38:58 - Even her teacher complains.
00:39:00 Well, maybe so, but, well, she can
00:39:05 - You mean, you're paying her?
00:39:08 Just my lunch money.
00:39:12 You sure must love music.
00:39:14 I guess.
00:39:19 You ever see a concert hall?
00:39:22 - Sure, in Atlanta.
00:39:24 Mm. Big, boring, you know.
00:39:28 Yeah.
00:39:30 You ever seen snow?
00:39:32 Mm. Lots of it.
00:39:35 Tell me about it.
00:39:37 What's there to tell?
00:39:40 It's cold. And it's white.
00:39:41 - You've seen pictures of it, haven't you?
00:39:44 That's not the same thing
00:39:49 Sometimes I feel like
00:39:53 Not really being anything...
00:39:55 ...just looking at a lot of pictures.
00:39:59 Scares me.
00:40:04 Do you ever get scared?
00:40:07 Sometimes.
00:40:09 Well, this summer sure scared me.
00:40:12 Where everything happened so fast.
00:40:15 Papa's hip not mending
00:40:22 I guess I'm all grown up now.
00:40:26 That scares me most of all.
00:40:32 HARRY:
00:40:35 I think... I think you're so pretty.
00:40:37 I never used to think so but...
00:40:40 But now I do.
00:40:44 Kiss me, Harry.
00:40:48 Kiss me the way married people kiss.
00:40:53 - Do you think we should?
00:40:55 Let me have just one thing
00:41:38 [KNoCKING]
00:41:41 Who is it?
00:41:43 Who is it?
00:41:48 Who is it?
00:41:50 It's Mr. Singer.
00:41:52 Father didn't get back yet, Mr. Singer.
00:41:58 Me?
00:42:00 I appreciate what you're trying to do,
00:42:03 But it really is none of your concern.
00:42:09 I said I don't wanna hear it.
00:42:11 I don't wanna hear nothing
00:42:14 I don't wanna hear nothing.
00:42:16 I don't wanna read nothing either,
00:42:18 Please. No.
00:42:22 [SINGER GRUNTING]
00:42:26 Portia, let him in.
00:42:37 PoRTIA:
00:42:38 Stop it, Mr. Singer.
00:42:40 Please.
00:42:41 I'm sorry, I...
00:42:44 - No. Leave me alone! Willie!
00:42:47 Portia. Singer, leave her alone!
00:42:49 Portia, what is it? Portia. Portia!
00:42:52 [SINGER GRUNTING]
00:44:12 You listen here.
00:44:14 Yeah.
00:44:16 We've got to understand this.
00:44:22 Do you?
00:44:24 I don't know.
00:44:28 [STAMMERING] I never did more
00:44:32 Me neither.
00:44:36 It's all my fault.
00:44:38 Anyway you look at it, it's my fault.
00:44:41 It's a terrible sin
00:44:47 No.
00:44:49 I wanted it to happen.
00:44:52 I wasn't any kid.
00:44:55 Now I wish I was.
00:45:02 Do you think we ought to get married
00:45:04 Mm. No. I don't think I'll ever get married.
00:45:09 Me neither.
00:45:14 Well, I guess we better go home
00:45:28 [TYPEWRITER DINGS]
00:45:43 MAN: Good night.
00:45:51 CoPELAND:
00:45:53 I'm still waiting to see Judge Bronson.
00:45:55 Judge went home
00:46:01 Thank you.
00:46:11 [MEN LAUGHING]
00:46:23 PoRTIA:
00:46:27 Father!
00:47:40 MICK:
00:47:41 No.
00:47:43 Don't!
00:48:57 BRADFoRD:
00:49:04 You wait here. I'll go get Dr. Gordon.
00:50:37 [GUNSHoT]
00:50:59 [MICK SCREAMING]
00:51:25 I brought you these, Mr. Singer.
00:51:27 CoPELAND:
00:51:33 MICK:
00:51:35 Oh, yeah, you're Dr. Copeland,
00:51:38 - I remember you from the funeral.
00:51:40 You're Mick Kelly.
00:51:42 I'm Margaret really.
00:51:45 Do you come here often?
00:51:47 - Most every day now.
00:51:50 I don't.
00:51:51 Oh, I mean to.
00:51:54 But one thing comes along, then another.
00:51:57 But I haven't forgotten.
00:52:01 Honest, I haven't.
00:52:03 Oh, I don't think any of us ever will.
00:52:07 Why did he do it?
00:52:10 I keep asking myself that over and over.
00:52:16 Oh, I don't suppose any of us
00:52:18 None of us ever knew him,
00:52:22 We all brought our troubles to him...
00:52:24 ...never stopping to think
00:52:29 No. I feel worse than that about it.
00:52:35 I feel like he was always there
00:52:41 And when he needed somebody,
00:52:44 I wasn't even thinking about him.
00:52:48 Well, I wish I could say something wise
00:52:53 I won't ever forget him.
00:52:56 Ever.
00:52:58 I think that would make him very happy.
00:53:05 Well, I think I better be getting on home.
00:53:09 - Bye.
00:53:14 Oh, no, I wanna stay around here
00:53:18 I want to arrange these flowers better.
00:53:36 Mr. Singer.
00:53:39 Can you hear me?
00:53:44 I just wanted you to know,
00:53:49 ...that I loved you.
00:53:53 I loved you.
