00:03Mom, I want so many things.
00:05It's kind of driving me crazy.
00:07What happens to a dream deferred?
00:09I got a boy who sleeps in the living room.
00:11I got to share a bathroom with two floors of people.
00:13Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
00:16He needs something.
00:17Something that I can't give him.
00:19Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
00:22You're tired, ain't you, baby?
00:24Tired of everything.
00:25Me, the boy, the way we live.
00:27Or does it explode?
00:31Money is life.
00:32Money is life?
00:34I remember a time when freedom used to be life.
00:38Dad, he's here!
00:40Lord have mercy, come on, open it, please!
00:42There's never been no people that's silly about no money.
00:44Well, Lena, we ain't never had no money before in our opening.
00:47Is that the right amount of zeros?
00:49Yes, ma'am.
00:50You've reached, Grandma.
00:54Our lives have changed.
00:55The money doesn't belong to us, Walter.
00:58It's your mother's money.
01:01That's all I got in this world, and I'm gonna leave it up to you.
01:04Trust me like that, Mama.
01:06I ain't never stopped trusting you.
01:08Just like I'll never stop loving you.
01:14It's a can't-miss investment, Walter.
01:18This ain't no fly-by-night proposition, baby.
01:20This is real.
01:21They're all real.
01:22All these schemes that go nowhere.
01:27Man, he didn't ever show up.
01:29And he got the money.
01:30That was all the money we had!
01:31Is it gone, son?
01:33Mom, your sister's money for school.
01:35It's all gone.
01:36Mom, I'm sorry.
01:38I'm sorry.
01:48He's no brother of mine.
01:49The time to love the most is when he's at his lowest and can't believe in himself.
01:55You're all whacked up with bitterness, man.
01:57Damn right I'm bitter!
01:58I'm a volcano.
01:59I'm a giant.
02:00I want to make a difference.
02:03I want to do something with my life.
02:06What do you people think you have to gain by moving into a neighborhood where you're not wanted?
02:10I'm going to say it good and loud.
02:16Hallelujah!
02:18I'm waiting to see you stand up and be the man your daddy was.
02:23And that's my sister.
02:24She's going to be a doctor.
02:26And that's my son Travis.
02:27He makes the sixth generation of our family in this country.
02:31We are very proud people.
