00:02:17We've been sleeping out of here.
00:02:20Got kicked out of the rooming house.
00:02:22How far did you get?
00:02:25Oh, $4,500 some odd. Don't matter though. The engine's shot and the cable's so damn afraid we was lucky to get the tool out last night.
00:02:32How about credit?
00:02:37None. Cash on the barrel head. How much you got left?
00:02:43None. Broke.
00:02:45Well, what the hell do we do with all of this?
00:02:50Well, let the bank have it.
00:03:01At least there was some way to fill up this.
00:03:03There he is.
00:03:06Hey, you guys. Give me a hand here.

00:03:32All right. Let's go to town.
00:03:37Look, it's all right.
00:03:39I'll get another job with Standard. We'll get enough to go together again.
00:03:43We'll get it together.
00:03:44Well, you're going to have to count me out.
00:03:47That damn car is all I got left.
00:03:50Come on. Let's go.
00:03:59What is that?
00:04:01What is that?
00:04:05God damn! You must have busted the car broke.
00:04:08That son of a bitch is coming in.
00:04:10Is it oil?
00:04:11God damn ramso.
00:04:12Oh, hey, clear away you guys.
00:04:13Get out of here.
00:04:14Get out of here.
00:04:16That's on.
00:04:21Oh, my God.
00:04:22The bitches coming in.
00:04:32God damn.
00:04:33Oh, shit.
00:04:34Well, what do you reckon she'll make?
00:04:58About 1,500 barrels.
00:05:00Looks good.
00:05:01I just wanted it to go more than 800.
00:05:03A playboy he is.
00:05:07That's the man's game.
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:12He knows where he's headed.

00:06:04Well, when you're hot, you're hot, man.
00:06:07When will you be able to get back?
00:06:09I can't say for sure.
00:06:10I don't know what's happening up there.
00:06:12If anything comes up, give me your call, all right?
00:06:14I'll do that.

00:06:36Everything's fine now.
00:06:37All right, you get the barbie start.
00:06:41I'd like a drink.
00:06:42Yes.
00:06:43Is that all you are?
00:06:46You stay happy.
00:06:48We're clear.
00:06:49We're clear.

00:07:36Hey, how was the trip?
00:07:56Fine trip.
00:07:58Glad you're back.
00:07:59Really been quiet.
00:08:01That'll change.
00:08:06Oh, you just look better every time I see you.
00:08:26How you doing, man?
00:08:27How you doing?
00:08:28All right.
00:08:28Hey, girl.
00:08:31All right.
00:08:32Hey, man.
00:08:33All right, do it.
00:08:35All right, baby.
00:08:36I'm making everything from magical works for me.
00:08:40And I know so.
00:08:41Every time.
00:08:43Once you do something.
00:08:43What y'all are you doing?
00:08:44How you doing?
00:08:44Good to see you.
00:08:45Yeah.
00:08:46I'm going to keep it moving.
00:08:49I'm going to keep it moving.
00:08:54Everywhere you've been.
00:08:55All right.
00:08:56You check out for every way.
00:08:58And I'm losing it.
00:08:59This way, man.
00:09:01All right.
00:09:03All right.
00:09:05Hey, Matt, what's this guy here?
00:09:08He's got a good crowd.
00:09:11So the men from Paris arrived at 10 o'clock tonight
00:09:13to talk about the Paris Club.
00:09:15We're at the corner table.
00:09:17Excuse me, right off.
00:09:31Hey, John.
00:09:33How you doing, Snuffy?
00:09:35How you doing too much lately, Matt?
00:09:37I imagine not.
00:09:38You wouldn't be selling shit in my club.
00:09:40What?
00:09:41Hey, what you saying, man?
00:09:43Put it on the collar.
00:09:46Hey, look, picky.
00:09:47I ain't that stupid, man.
00:09:52All right.
00:09:54I got a little.
00:09:57Just for myself, you know.
00:09:59Right. Take it out.
00:10:00Where's your friend?
00:10:09Oh, he went on down the street.
00:10:12We just ran into each other.
00:10:13Give me the money.
00:10:21What?
00:10:22Give me the money.
00:10:24Oh, now wait a minute.
00:10:25Pick it.
00:10:25Put the money on the counter.
00:10:27Oh, now wait a minute.
00:10:27Pick it.
00:10:27Put the money on the counter.
00:10:29That's it.
00:10:49That's it.
00:10:49I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:11:19I don't know.
00:11:49the river. This is it, huh? This is what you want, huh? This is what you want? Okay, I'll tell you what. No, I'll tell you what. If I catch either one of you in my club again, you better be wearing a Sherman's tank.
00:12:02Jake!
00:12:10Anybody you saw talking to Snuffy, get the s*** and give him that money back.
00:12:14He stopped at five tables and I know him. I tried to watch him, but...
00:12:17I know. Busy night. Just tell him we're very sorry that there'll be no dealing in this club.
00:12:23We got too much invested to get busted on account of some punk like Snuffy.
00:12:27Okay, I'll try to keep a closer eye on things.
00:12:32Oh, this is okay, this layout. Is this for December?
00:12:41Uh-huh.
00:12:51That's a bad taste, this illustration.
00:12:53Hey, Jake, we got a bird out here.
00:13:02I saw a car coming up the alley as I was going in. I didn't realize it then, but now that I think about it, it looked like Snuffy's car.
00:13:11Just as I got inside the door, they hit it with a bottle, like a bottle of gas or something.
00:13:20Okay. Frank will take you to the doctor to get this checked, huh?
00:13:21No, I can't. I got deliveries coming.
00:13:25Then you're going home.
00:13:26Listen, man, Barnes will take care of it.
00:13:27But I got a set up for the new show.
00:13:28You are going to the doctor and then you're going home.
00:13:29No, I can't. I got deliveries coming.
00:13:30Listen, man, Barnes will take care of it.
00:13:31But I got a set up for the new show.
00:13:32You are going to the doctor and then you're going home.
00:13:33Yes, sir.
00:13:35No, you're the doctor and you're the doctor!
00:13:37You run, right?
00:13:38Well, you're the doctor now, he's the doctor.
00:13:39Yes, sir.
00:13:40I'm not sure.
00:13:41No, you're the doctor now.
00:13:42He has a book on the dentist.
00:13:43He's the doctor, I have a drink, and you can't.
00:13:44Well, no, no, no, no.
00:13:45Well, no, he's the doctor.
00:13:46You're the doctor now.
00:13:47Okay.
00:13:50Frank will take you to the doctor and then you're going home.
00:13:53No, no.
00:14:24You're tired, honey?
00:14:29You know it.
00:14:31Come on, your bath's ready.
00:14:35There's a lady been calling for you all evening.
00:14:38She says she has to talk to you personally.
00:14:40Well, I tell her to call tomorrow. I'll talk to her then.
00:14:43Well, that's what I've been telling her.
00:14:45She says it has to be tonight.
00:14:47Says she's calling from, uh, uh, somewhere.
00:14:51Sounds like, uh, semi-hole city.
00:14:54What?
00:14:56No, no, babe. That's semi-hole city.
00:14:59That ain't no lady. That's my mama.
00:15:01Yeah, you better put her on, too.
00:15:04Arthur, is that you?
00:15:05Hello, mother. How you doing?
00:15:07Just fine, son.
00:15:09How's the nightclub business?
00:15:11Doing fine. Doing fine.
00:15:14Arthur?
00:15:15Yeah, well, mama, look. It's awful late right now.
00:15:17Maybe, uh...
00:15:18They're gonna close down the factory, and I ain't about to let that happen.
00:15:22What factory is that?
00:15:23The overall factory.
00:15:25And we need you to come down here.
00:15:27Down there?
00:15:29Yes.
00:15:30Uh, well, mama, I'm awful busy right now.
00:15:32I mean, maybe, maybe, uh...
00:15:34I'll tell you what, I'll get packed there.
00:15:35You'll take care of it first thing in the morning.
00:15:37I don't need no packed.
00:15:39You got lots of money.
00:15:41And folks with lots of money supposed to have lots of time.
00:15:44Now, your Uncle Henry's sitting right here.
00:15:47And he says they're gonna sell the factory next Tuesday.
00:15:50They're gonna auction it off.
00:15:53Now, you know about all these things.
00:15:56You're doing so good with your business and everything.
00:15:58Now, wait just a minute, son.
00:16:00Let me do the talking, because this call is costing a lot of money.
00:16:03Okay, okay, mama. Go ahead.
00:16:06I know you're busy.
00:16:07And I wouldn't ask you to come, except this factory's all we got.
00:16:13Now, are you coming down here and help us?
00:16:17I think it's best if you come tomorrow.
00:16:20Okay, okay, mama.
00:16:22I guess it'll be, uh, sometime in the evening.
00:16:25All right.
00:16:26Bye-bye.
00:16:32Everything's gonna be all right.
00:16:33Velma, get a hold of the operator and tell her to charge all those calls from Seminole City to me.
00:16:42Yeah, it looks like we're gonna be leaving in the morning.
00:16:44So get a hold of Barnes, call Pat, and ask him to meet us at the airport.
00:16:48And, Velma, get all those contracts and crap together.
00:16:50I'll be out there to work on them in a few minutes.
00:16:53And tell John to meet me in the office right now.
00:16:55Yeah, okay.
00:16:56Sorry.
00:16:59Sorry, baby.
00:17:01Yeah.
00:17:01Wow.
00:17:31Oh, my God.
00:18:01How's Patricia in the case?
00:18:13Fat, sassy, rich.
00:18:18You know, I miss Mama, though.
00:18:21Has she smoothed out any yet?
00:18:23Not so as you'd notice.
00:18:26Yeah, I was damn near grown before I realized how much we must have got to her.
00:18:31I remember the time I took you out to that goddamn Susie's whorehouse.
00:18:40Goddamn, she was so mad she could have killed us both, Mama.
00:18:44She didn't want her baby to sleep with no slut, quite or otherwise.
00:18:50Hey, remember when she took after me that goddamn broom?
00:18:52Goddamn, if she could have caught me, she would have killed me.
00:18:56She almost did, too.
00:18:58Oh, man.
00:19:00Barnes, would you pull over here at this intersection up here?
00:19:06Where are you going?
00:19:09We're friends of the bitter end, right?
00:19:11Well, this ain't going to be it.
00:19:12So long, brother.
00:19:14Take a ride up at the next corner.
00:19:44Take a ride up at the next corner.
00:20:14Let me look at you.
00:20:16Mama, you remember Richard Barnes?
00:20:18Of course, Mr. Barnes. How are you?
00:20:21Grand Rapids.
00:20:22You remember.
00:20:22You see? I remember.
00:20:24Come on in.
00:20:25Here they come now.
00:20:30They finally got here.
00:20:33Hello, Arthur.
00:20:35Arthur, you remember your Uncle Henry?
00:20:38Of course I do.
00:20:39Hello, Uncle.
00:20:40And this here is Little Henry.
00:20:41How you doing, Uncle?
00:20:43It's been a long time, ain't it?
00:20:44He's a little bigger since the last time you've seen him.
00:20:46Yeah, I guess he is.
00:20:48And this here is Little Henry's wife, Renee.
00:20:51They live over in the spring.
00:20:53How you doing, Renee?
00:20:54And this is Little Will.
00:20:55Hi, Will.
00:20:56Say.
00:20:57Hello, good boy.
00:20:58And this is Amanda.
00:21:00Hello, Amanda.
00:21:00And this here is your Aunt Josephine.
00:21:06Come on home.
00:21:10We are so good.
00:21:11This is your first cousin, Eloise.
00:21:13And this is her son, Elliot.
00:21:17Hey.
00:21:18Glad to see you.
00:21:19Okay.
00:21:24We had to go ahead and eat on account of the children.
00:21:27But you can see I cooked everything that you like.
00:21:30Like black-eyed peas and greens.
00:21:32Just fine, Mama.
00:21:33Just fine.
00:21:34Would you like some spiced peaches, Mr. Fox?
00:21:37Oh, yes, ma'am.
00:21:38Sure looks good.
00:21:46Are you a cousin or a niece?
00:21:48Nearly one.
00:21:49Oh, this is Cindy McDougal.
00:21:52And I think she's one of the smartest girls in Seminole City.
00:21:55She got a college degree and she came back home to teach here.
00:22:00Well, it's nice to meet you, Cindy.
00:22:02It's a great pleasure to meet you.
00:22:04This is Richard Barnes.
00:22:06How are you?
00:22:06Hello, Cindy.
00:22:07Hey, I've been to my guys to you, eh?
00:22:09I'll help you.
00:22:10No, sit on the shelf.
00:22:11I'll take care of it.
00:22:12All right.
00:22:15Well, Mama, tell me all about it.
00:22:19Well, there ain't much to tell, son.
00:22:22There was 214 people at that factory.
00:22:26And every one of them got laid off.
00:22:28That's right, Arthur.
00:22:29Every employee is out of work.
00:22:32And that includes just about everybody outside.
00:22:36Now, I know it's going to be harder than what we think.
00:22:38But that overall company is all we got.
00:22:41It ain't like over in Pomona Springs.
00:22:43They got the parachute factory.
00:22:45Doing good, too.
00:22:46That's what little Henry tells me.
00:22:48Oh, we're doing real good.
00:22:49We're supposed to get another contract from the government pretty soon.
00:22:53What are they planning to do with the factory?
00:22:54Just let it stand there?
00:22:56No.
00:22:56Well, I think the board's planning on Mr. Neely buying it at the auction.
00:23:01Mm-hmm.
00:23:01And he owns the bank.
00:23:04I remember.
00:23:05Well, Neely says he's going to tear it down and try to sell the land.
00:23:09And that's why we phoned you.
00:23:11Good evening, everybody.
00:23:13Hope I ain't too late.
00:23:15Here's Brother Rambo.
00:23:16He came over especially to meet you.
00:23:18Who had all about your money?
00:23:20Evening, Sister Fox.
00:23:22Brother Henry.
00:23:24Now, got here as soon as I could.
00:23:26Is this here, your boy?
00:23:28Yes, sir.
00:23:29This is my son, Arthur.
00:23:31It's a privilege and a blessing, Brother Fox.
00:23:33I can't tell you how much it means to us having you come down here and help us with our little project.
00:23:39Well, you know how it is, Brother.
00:23:41When Mama calls...
00:23:42A good son answers.
00:23:44Yes, I know.
00:23:45And the Lord will send down a blessing for your faithfulness.
00:23:48This is Richard Barnes, Brother Rambo.
00:23:51A great pleasure.
00:23:52A great pleasure, Mr. Barnes.
00:23:53The pleasure is all mine.
00:23:55I hope you haven't eaten yet, Brother Rambo.
00:23:58Oh, I just had a snack before I came.
00:24:01Well, you just sit down there and help yourself.
00:24:05Come on.
00:24:07Go talk some more late on, Brother Fox.
00:24:15Go talk some more late on, Brother Fox.
00:24:16Right now, you must be tired from your trip.
00:24:40If that's true, I want to scare the lair.
00:24:45All right, sir.
00:24:47I bet I'm not that tall.
00:24:49That will be you.
00:24:56Can I have some of my spiced peaches, uh, singer?
00:24:59I talked to the lawyer today myself, and he's going to take you through the plant tomorrow.
00:25:10Sit down, son.
00:25:14Now, Arthur, I don't want you to feel as though you've got to help us.
00:25:18But we've been so keyed up lately that I just don't know what to do.
00:25:22I want to talk about something else, Mama.
00:25:24What?
00:25:27Why you treat Pat the way you do.
00:25:31Pat drove in with us this evening, and he wouldn't even come into this house.
00:25:34Pat's a man, Mama.
00:25:41One of the best.
00:25:44He's also my partner.
00:25:46For a long time, he was just like your other son.
00:25:50Whatever we got now, we started together because of you.
00:25:54I don't want to talk about it.
00:25:59You raised the both of us just like we was one.
00:26:01And when we grew up, when we left home, you just crossed him out like he was something from another world.
00:26:08I raised you because you was mine.
00:26:12I raised him because I had to.
00:26:14When his mama died, I took him in.
00:26:18Because I wasn't about to see no orphan grow up around me.
00:26:22But the minute I took him in, trouble started.
00:26:25He started trying to make you white and you trying to make him black.
00:26:29And when you were kids, you were cussing and fighting all the time.
00:26:33And when you got bigger, you were drinking and whoring around, and you're still doing it.
00:26:39Now, you both have done good, but you ain't done right.
00:26:44Now, maybe I do have to accept it from you because you are mine.
00:26:48But I sure don't have to accept it from no Pat Wolf.
00:26:51And that's all I got to say about it.
00:26:54The car's unpacked.
00:27:12Your stuff's in the front bedroom.
00:27:13Good.
00:27:14Good.
00:27:14Good.
00:27:15Good.
00:27:16Good.
00:27:16Good.
00:27:17Good.
00:27:17Good.
00:27:17Good.
00:27:18Good.
00:27:19Good.
00:27:20Good.
00:27:21Good.
00:27:22Good.
00:27:23Good.
00:27:24Good.
00:27:29Say, uh...
00:27:31Yeah.
00:27:33Something I'd like to ask you about?
00:27:37Sure.
00:27:39Well, here, about two years ago...
00:27:41...I seen a copy of that there...
00:27:43...magazine.
00:27:44You know, the fox layer?
00:27:46Yeah, that one.
00:27:47Yeah, and in this one I seen...
00:27:50...they had a big thing about you.
00:27:52You know, and all them pictures, all about your cars and that, that airplane and, and the, you know, the nightclub and the pool and, you know, where you live.
00:28:01Right.
00:28:03Well, I've been meaning to ask you, is all that real?
00:28:10Well, the car and the plane, that's just to get around here, you know?
00:28:15Yeah.
00:28:15And, uh, well, the, uh, the club, that's got to look good, that's the business.
00:28:26Sure enough.
00:28:28Well, what about that penthouse apartment of yours?
00:28:31I mean, uh, they just stuck it in, man.
00:28:34They said it'd make it look good.
00:28:37I got a couple of little old rooms over the club, that's all.
00:28:42What about that gal in that bathtub, Arthur?
00:28:46I mean, uh...
00:28:53No, man.
00:28:54Hell.
00:28:56I felt stupid as hell getting in there, that woman.
00:28:59But they made me do it.
00:29:01They said, uh, they said it would add style.
00:29:05You know.

00:30:20we appreciate your taking the time
00:30:22oh think nothing of it
00:30:24I'm always glad to show someone the plate
00:30:26it's quite a historical landmark you know
00:30:29this original building was an arsenal for the Confederate Army 17th Infantry Brigade
00:30:42commanded by Brigadier General K.T. Flamingham
00:30:46who's the paternal great-grandfather of the last owner of the company
00:30:51you'll just come on in here now watch your step
00:30:54come on through please
00:30:58the general was owed quite a sum of money
00:31:01at the conclusion of the war
00:31:03and as the government in Richmond was in disarray at the time
00:31:07the general settled the matter by taking possession of this building and
00:31:11two or three hundred bales of cotton that were stored inside
00:31:15but as the business expanded it became necessary for them to move into the basement
00:31:21family made do in these quarters for some 15 years
00:31:25till profits from the company made it possible to expand the plant
00:31:29and build a new home nearby
00:31:31AJ this is the damnedest mess I've ever seen
00:31:36now you get into this and you'll have a disaster on your hands
00:31:39I got ice but look here if this mess is all there is
00:31:43what does that little beady-eyed little man want with him
00:31:45oh
00:31:46however gentlemen this is the property that'll be on the auction block tomorrow
00:31:53if there are any questions
00:31:55yes if I may
00:31:58are there any other properties or buildings included in the deal
00:32:02oh well there is the Seminole Hills development acreage outside of town
00:32:08would you care to see that acreage also sir
00:32:12I see
00:32:14no I don't think that'll be necessary
00:32:16thank you very much for showing us through
00:32:18Mr. Franklin
00:32:19thank you
00:32:19Mr. Neely
00:32:20gentlemen
00:32:21thank you
00:32:29thank you
00:32:33thank you
00:32:34I want to wait
00:32:35please
00:32:36thank you
00:32:37thank you
00:32:39to the
00:32:40Well, it ain't necessarily so, Mama.
00:32:56Probably all he wants to do is tear it down like he said.
00:32:58It wouldn't take much. Just stomp your foot and...
00:33:01Now, listen here.
00:33:04It seems to me that you've been up north so long
00:33:06that you don't forget what it's like around here.
00:33:08Why, them old Morsebats would rather see that factory torn down
00:33:12than see any progress made in this town.
00:33:14Because any progress left is black progress.
00:33:17Well, that's exactly my point.
00:33:19It isn't progress to get saddled with an old fire trap like that.
00:33:23If that's what we got to start with, then that's what it'll be.
00:33:27That and spirit.
00:33:29Now, it seems to me the way you acted in there
00:33:31that I made a mistake by asking you to come down here.
00:33:34All you could see was a building and machines.
00:33:37You done got to the point where you don't sue people no more.
00:33:41So you just go on back to your nightclub
00:33:44and your oil wells and your women.
00:33:55Mama.
00:33:57Just go on.
00:33:58We got our money together.
00:34:00And if you can't add anything but money,
00:34:03we got plenty of that.
00:34:05So just go on.
00:34:08I think I'll stick around and see how you make out.
00:34:11It's left up to you.
00:34:12Do you know them?
00:34:32Uh, the little man is Mr. Newey's brother-in-law.
00:34:34I don't know who the other man is.
00:34:36I think he's from around Mobile.
00:34:37Uh-huh.
00:34:38Yeah, I saw him in the bank last Friday.
00:34:40That's him.
00:34:41That's him there.
00:34:42What do you think?
00:34:45They're bluffing.
00:34:46Yeah, I think so.
00:34:50Say, Arthur,
00:34:51I got your seat saved up here.
00:34:53No, I think we can see better if we sit back here.
00:34:55Oh, how you doing?
00:35:10Ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:11may I have your attention for a moment, please?
00:35:18At this time,
00:35:20we stand ready to receive the first bid.
00:35:25Mr. Washington.

00:35:53$18,000.
00:35:58$18,000 is the bid.
00:36:01$20,000.
00:36:05You're going to say anything, right?
00:36:08Right.

00:36:13$25,000 is the bid.
00:36:16$27,500.
00:36:18Do I hear further bids?
00:36:20Do you know what you're doing?
00:36:21Damn sure ain't what they want me to do.
00:36:27$35,000.
00:36:29$35,000 is bid.
00:36:32Further bids, please.
00:36:34$50,000.
00:36:36Mr. Calhoun.
00:36:37Mr. Neely.
00:36:38The First State Bank of Seminole City bids $100,000.
00:36:45$100,000.
00:36:45I think you lost your mind.
00:36:47Shut up.
00:36:47Let me meet.
00:36:48$100,000 is bid.
00:36:51Do I hear further bids?
00:36:52$125,000.
00:36:54Sir?
00:36:56$125,000.
00:37:01$125,000 is bid, ladies and gentlemen.
00:37:05Do I hear further bids?
00:37:08Mr. Calhoun.
00:37:09Mr. Neely.
00:37:10I want to request a recess.
00:37:15Mr. Calhoun.
00:37:16My bid is $125,000.
00:37:19Will that bid be honored or not?
00:37:21Yes, sir.
00:37:22It is honored to be assured.
00:37:24Damn it.
00:37:25I got to call Mobile.
00:37:27Well, Mr. Neely.
00:37:27I just don't see how an auction might be recessed.
00:37:31And besides, I don't think it'll do too much good to call Mobile.
00:37:35Ransville, get the hell back here.
00:37:46Mr. Calhoun.
00:37:47Yes, sir.
00:37:47We still got a recess.
00:37:49How do we know whether that man's bid is good or not?
00:37:53We have already considered the need for verification of our bid, sir.
00:37:57We have something here that might solve this matter very quickly.
00:38:04These are letters of credit from the three largest banks in New York.
00:38:11Any one of them is enough to cover this bid.
00:38:15Anybody can write a letter, sign it.
00:38:17It don't mean a thing.
00:38:19That's true.
00:38:20It's only paper, Mr. Neely.
00:38:24So is this.
00:38:29Gentlemen, I think we should proceed.
00:38:32For the sum of $125,000,
00:38:50going once,
00:38:54going twice,
00:38:56Brothers and sisters,
00:39:08this is truly a great day.
00:39:11A great day, I tell you.
00:39:14And bears one more witness to the fact that the law do drove back.
00:39:18Do you understand what I'm talking about?
00:39:21Do you hear me?
00:39:22Say it, man.
00:39:23Say it again.
00:39:24Say it, man.
00:39:25Say it, man.
00:39:26Uncle Henry.
00:39:27Yeah?
00:39:29Let's go look around that swamp this afternoon.
00:39:32Well, I can take you.
00:39:33I know my way around there as well as anybody.
00:39:35Mm-hmm.
00:39:35That was so fine.
00:39:47That was so fine.
00:40:01Mr. Caron,
00:40:02Bank of Seminole City,
00:40:04wishing to bid $100,000.
00:40:05$125,000.
00:40:06Uh, $125,000.
00:40:09I never saw anything at the old Neely like that or his old wife either.
00:40:13Yeah, it didn't look like I did what they wanted me to do, huh?
00:40:16Whatever it is they thought they had must be in here somewhere.
00:40:19Why don't we try it that way, sir?
00:40:27Seems like it's getting shallower to me.
00:40:29Give me that pole.
00:40:37It's been a long time since I pushed a skiff around.
00:40:39What are you going in here for?
00:41:02I never noticed that before.
00:41:16I bet you somebody else did.
00:41:20How about that?
00:41:23What is it, A.J.?
00:41:24Can't say for sure.
00:41:26Some folks might, uh, think it was natural gas.
00:41:29Really?
00:41:30Mm-hmm.
00:41:32We're burning, Cindy.
00:41:55Get up there and put it out.
00:41:57Go on, put it out.
00:41:58I'm trying.
00:41:59Would you get us out of here before we burn up?
00:42:02Mr. Fox, you're looking real cool.
00:42:32Cool.
00:42:34Yeah.
00:42:38Style, baby.
00:42:43What do you think you've been done with that stuff?
00:42:47You got any plans?
00:42:49Not yet.
00:42:51That's the expert on gas and oil.
00:42:53Mm-hmm.
00:42:54Of course, if it's good and there's enough of it, it's no telling.
00:43:02Want to go for a swim?
00:43:03No, I think I'll pass on that.
00:43:05How about the factory?
00:43:06How about the factory?
00:43:11We better face it.
00:43:13There isn't much future to making overalls.
00:43:16Well, not the old way.
00:43:17I mean, I mean, we've got some surprises in store, we've got some new ideas, and we've got some different receipts.
00:43:22You'll see.
00:43:24Well, I didn't say you weren't going to reopen.
00:43:27Everybody's going back to work.
00:43:28You'll need every good idea you can come up with.
00:43:32Well, you know what I think?
00:43:35What's that?
00:43:36I think you care just as much as anybody about keeping this old town, boy.
00:43:42Is that right?
00:43:44I think there's a lot of things you care about.
00:43:47Swamp gas.
00:43:48That's right.
00:43:50You find it all over down here.
00:43:53It kind of seeps up in patches of bubbles.
00:43:56It kind of smells like a goat, don't it?
00:44:00What do you think?
00:44:01You think they might have known and just used it as a come on to jack up the price?
00:44:04Nah.
00:44:04If Thurman Neely's anything like we remember, he wouldn't be that bright.
00:44:09I think he figured he had him.
00:44:11Something else he wouldn't have jacked the price of a hundred thousand.
00:44:14Could be.
00:44:16What's that?
00:44:18Oh, the dog.
00:44:19Well, I better get the hell out of here before Mama gets back.
00:44:25What are you figuring on doing about all this?
00:44:31That guy'll pay a call down at the bank.
00:44:34See if I can sell some beefsteak.
00:44:36See if I can sell some beefsteak.
00:44:36But it just wouldn't be possible, don't you see?
00:44:57Now, I'm never adverse to such a thing myself, but the directors just wouldn't approve that large a loan for speculation.
00:45:05Now, if it were a question of $10,000, $15,000...
00:45:09Uh, I'm afraid our project will just have to wait until we recover enough funds.
00:45:16Thank you very much for your time, Mr. Neely.
00:45:21Good luck to you, sir.
00:45:23And the same to you.
00:45:26Mr. Fox.
00:45:28Yes, sir?
00:45:29I'll tell you, I've been thinking.
00:45:34Now, I can understand, don't you see, as a businessman.
00:45:38Now, in all fairness to your situation, and in appreciation for what you're doing for the factory and all,
00:45:46I'd like to help you out by a personal offer, say, uh, say $50,000 for that swamp acreage.
00:45:56What do you say?
00:45:57Well, I hadn't, uh, considered selling, Mr. Neely, but looking at it realistically and knowing the potential value of a gas deposit in that swamp,
00:46:08I'd say $100,000 wasn't just reasonable, it's a steal.
00:46:14Well, uh, well, why don't we just step inside a minute?
00:46:20Uh, let me make a call to Mobile.
00:46:23Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
00:46:25Mary Allen, could you bring some coffee in, please?
00:46:55Cindy drew these up so he could see what we're aiming for.
00:47:07Now, we know there's not much market in men's overalls,
00:47:10but we think we got the makings of women's wear.
00:47:13Mm-hmm.
00:47:14This is the last one, Arthur.
00:47:16Thanks, Uncle.
00:47:19Got something going here, Mama.
00:47:21I think you're on the right track.
00:47:25I gotta go.
00:47:28Hey, Jake.
00:47:30Now, we've talked about it, and we want you to take the money we collected,
00:47:34because it just isn't fair to ask you to carry the whole load by yourself.
00:47:37You turn it back to the people that contributed, huh?
00:47:39No, wait a minute, Al.
00:47:40Now, look, I ain't gonna hear it.
00:47:41Brother Fox, I do wish you'd stay in worship with us Sunday.
00:48:00I think you'd find it a great blessing.
00:48:02Arthur Dunn left a great blessing, brother.
00:48:04Oh, son, I'm so proud of you.
00:48:08Now, you take care of yourself, and you ride us.
00:48:12I will, Mama.
00:48:13I will.
00:48:16Uncle, we'll keep in touch, fam.
00:48:25Well, I guess you're looking forward to getting back up there.
00:48:30All those bright lights and fancy clothes.
00:48:33Hey.
00:48:33Look here.
00:48:35Look here.
00:48:40Goodbye, Mr. Byron.
00:48:41Bye, Cindy.
00:48:55I want to be in the air by six o'clock.
00:49:03I want to catch you about Oglone, right?
00:49:13I want to catch you about Oglone, right?

00:56:14uh, the New Dixie fashion line.
00:56:16That's right. Tell him to coordinate with Uncle Henry.
00:56:18Hm.
00:56:20We're migrating south.
00:56:22What do you suppose all that promotion's about, Old V. Honor?
00:56:38The fella told me the black boxers are coming in.
00:56:43What in the hell is black boxers?

00:57:09My son.
00:57:10My son.
00:57:11My son.
00:57:12My son.
00:57:13My son.
00:58:15I could use a good bed right now.
00:58:18Well, say no more.
00:58:19You can have mine.
00:58:20I'll sleep out on the porch tonight.
00:58:22The porch?
00:58:24You mean with the bugs and stuff?
00:58:27Oh, come on, honey.
00:58:27This is down home.
00:58:29You remember sleeping outside.
00:58:32Where I grew up.
00:58:33Might be able to if you were sleeping in a cage.
00:58:37Mother, would you?
00:58:38Oh, I'll get it, Tom.
00:58:40Oh.
00:58:41Oh.
00:58:49Oh.
00:58:52Oh, yeah.
00:58:55OK.
00:58:59OK.
00:59:01OK.
00:59:03OK.
00:59:04OK.
00:59:05OK.
00:59:14OK.
00:59:16OK.
00:59:17OK.
00:59:18OK.
00:59:19Miss Blair?
00:59:20Yes?
00:59:21Sounds like you're having a little trouble sleeping.
00:59:24Not really. These mosquitoes have got insomnia.
00:59:28Oh, I got just the thing for that. Wait just one minute.
00:59:51Miss Blair? Just a second.
01:00:10Got something for the mosquitoes and a little something to help you sleep.
01:00:13Oh, well, thank you.
01:00:16Lemonade.
01:00:19Imagine it's been a long time since you had any country-style lemonade.
01:00:24You can say that again. What did you put in this?
01:00:27Just a little medicinal, Jen. I find it relaxing after a hard day.
01:00:32More like medicinal battery acid.
01:00:38What's this?
01:00:40Citronella. That's to keep the mosquitoes off.
01:00:44And everything else, too.
01:00:46Hard. You hardly notice the smell at all once it's off.
01:00:49Here, let me show you. You see?
01:00:53Yeah, hardly at all.
01:00:55Oh, it'll soak in in just a minute.
01:00:58Now, Miss Blair, I don't want you to get the wrong impression.
01:01:01I never get the wrong impression.
01:01:03I never get the wrong impression.
01:01:04I never get the wrong impression.
01:01:05Good night.
01:01:06Brother Rambo.
01:01:12Yes?
01:01:13I appreciate the lemonade.
01:01:14Oh, well, think nothin' of it!
01:01:19Right.
01:01:23I appreciate the lemonade
01:01:53Yeah, about seven minutes more
01:01:58We're doing the best thing
01:02:00Okay, Mom, hold on a second
01:02:01Say, man, got it together?
01:02:04Everything's fine
01:02:05You know, I'm really amazed
01:02:06Two weeks to set up and it's actually organized
01:02:09All it takes is spirit
01:02:10Okay, that's great
01:02:11You know that
01:02:14Litton?
01:02:17Yeah, excuse me for a minute, please
01:02:18Cindy
01:02:20Hi
01:02:21Hi
01:02:21Those are for the showing, aren't they?
01:02:23That's right
01:02:24You're going to be one of the models?
01:02:26Yeah, they insisted on it
01:02:27I was up half the night memorizing my speech
01:02:30Oh, you'll do fine
01:02:31It's fun once you get into it
01:02:33Well, I hope so
01:02:33I'll see you later
01:02:36Bye-bye
01:02:36Thank you
01:02:38Uh, Bonnie
01:02:52Maybe I shouldn't ask
01:02:55But what in the hell is that perfume you got on?
01:02:59Eau de citronella
01:03:00Local product
01:03:02Maybe your turn for a free sample tonight
01:03:05Oh, you got it?
01:03:07Yeah, I've got it
01:03:08I'll see you later
01:03:09I'll see you later
01:03:10Bye-bye
01:03:10Bye-bye
01:03:12Bye-bye
01:03:12Bye-bye
01:03:13Bye-bye
01:03:14Bye-bye
01:03:14Bye-bye
01:03:14Bye-bye
01:03:14Here we go.
01:03:44Here we go.
01:03:51Hey, John Paul.
01:03:53All right.
01:03:55Honey, will you take these clothes to Uncle Henry and tell him that they're for the show this afternoon?
01:04:01Mm-hmm.
01:04:02All right.
01:04:05Okay, I'm coming.
01:04:14You tired, honey?
01:04:21You can't be changing clothes so much, my skin's about worn.
01:04:25Are you upset about something?
01:04:27Yes, I am.
01:04:28About the factor and all?
01:04:30That's right.
01:04:31Well, I've been meaning to have a say about that.
01:04:34Maybe we ought to have a little talk.
01:04:36Yeah, well, maybe so.
01:04:38You know, I'm becoming more and more disturbed about the attitude of certain people around here.
01:04:43And if I ever...
01:04:44You gotta get down, down, down, down, down.
01:04:48Way down.
01:04:50Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
01:05:20Have your attention.
01:05:45Has everybody had a good time?
01:05:50Well, in addition to good food and good music, we've seen some pretty women and some beautiful
01:06:04clothes.
01:06:07You really laid them out.
01:06:09Yeah, most of them ain't seen this much woman since they read the National Geographic.
01:06:14Some crowd.
01:06:15Did you see that old dude about to beat his hands off?
01:06:19This old lady jumping on his ass?
01:06:22You think this is gonna start something?
01:06:24Hell no.
01:06:26It's just another waste of time.
01:06:28I'm ready to get back to civilization.
01:06:30I've had it with heat towns and ignorant rooms and horny preachers.
01:06:37We'll be sending you regular reports.
01:06:47Mom, have you given any more thought to let me get you a place in the city?
01:06:52I think we're needed right here.
01:06:56Whatever you say.
01:06:59All right, Uncle.
01:07:01Don't let it work too hard now.
01:07:02I won't.
01:07:03Take care, son.
01:07:04Bye.
01:07:05So now we're out a hundred thousand on your say-so.
01:07:20And another twenty-five thousand for the drilling on your say-so.
01:07:24And you didn't even have a sample tested to start with.
01:07:27Well, it smelled awful gassy.
01:07:30Not only that, you practically gave the damn factory to them.
01:07:34Now, how do you think that's gonna sit with them when they hear about that down in Mobile?
01:07:39You let yourself get to it.
01:07:41Just bald as hell.
01:07:43Now, what do you got to say for it?
01:07:45Well, I figured it could be that rich.
01:07:49But dammit, who ever heard of one that smart?
01:07:52I'll be goddamn.
01:07:54Man, it sure is hot this time of year.
01:08:04It sure is.
01:08:05I know what you want to do.
01:08:07Hey, Cindy.
01:08:08Cindy, come here.
01:08:10Why don't you tell them we need some air conditioner around here?
01:08:13I'm liable to tell them a lot more than that here.
01:08:15Why don't you let me take that on a man?
01:08:17I'm telling you.
01:08:19Now, you done seen all these naked women around here.
01:08:24putting evil parts into the minds of God-bearing people.
01:08:28You're right, sir.
01:08:29And you know about these sweatshop factories.
01:08:32Yes, sir.
01:08:33And I just think that this ain't God's way.
01:08:36You're right.
01:08:37Do you know what I'm talking about?
01:08:39Yes, sir.
01:08:40Do you understand what I'm trying to bear here?
01:08:44Rambo is getting out for agitated here lately.
01:08:46I guess with most folks working every night, they're too tired to go to revival meetings.
01:08:51Yeah, that means old collective plate is getting lighter and lighter and lighter.
01:08:56Listen, kids.
01:08:57I hate to break up your love affair, but come on.
01:08:59Let's go back to work.
01:09:00Good morning.
01:09:01Good morning, Cindy.
01:09:02Have you taken care of all the new employees?
01:09:03Yes.
01:09:04What's the matter, baby?
01:09:05Nothing.
01:09:06Nothing.
01:09:07There's gotta be something the matter the way you act.
01:09:08Nothing's the matter with me.
01:09:09Well, I've been thinking about going back to teachers' school as well.
01:09:13Well, if that's what you want to do.
01:09:14But we sure need you here.
01:09:15You're the best personnel manager we can get.
01:09:16Well, money can't buy, as Arthur J. Fox was saying.
01:09:17Now, what do you mean by that?
01:09:18Well, what do you mean by that?
01:09:19I don't know.
01:09:20I don't know.
01:09:21I don't know.
01:09:22I don't know.
01:09:23I don't know.
01:09:24I don't know.
01:09:25I don't know.
01:09:26I don't know.
01:09:27I don't know.
01:09:28I don't know.
01:09:29I don't know.
01:09:30I don't know.
01:09:31I don't know.
01:09:32I don't know.
01:09:33I don't know.
01:09:34But we sure need you here.
01:09:35You're the best personnel manager we can get.
01:09:38Well, money can't buy, as Arthur J. Fox was saying.
01:09:41Now, what do you mean by that?
01:09:43I mean, this whole thing has got to be just another rip-off.
01:09:46That's what.
01:09:47Oh, honey.
01:09:49You can't believe that.
01:09:51After all we've been through.
01:09:53We're turning into a bunch of explorers down here serving the interests of an absentee black capitalist,
01:09:59exploiting black labor.
01:10:01We're no better than old man Framingham.
01:10:04Now, what's the matter with her?
01:10:06Nothing's the matter with me.
01:10:08I'm just the only one that hasn't let it go through my head.
01:10:13I don't feel very well.
01:10:15I need to come see these all.
01:10:22Yeah, now, what's going on?
01:10:24Brother, there will be no more work performed in this factory,
01:10:28until this matter is brought to a head.
01:10:31What matters is that?
01:10:33Now, come on in here.
01:10:34Cindy, come in here.
01:10:38Now, we've been elected to represent the rest of the workers in this here plant.
01:10:45Now, the matter is cleaner and more sanitary places to perform the work.
01:10:53Less safety hazards.
01:10:54More air conditioning and better pay.
01:10:55Less work in overtime.
01:10:56Paid sick leave.
01:10:57And time off for attending religious services.
01:10:58Profit-sharing plan.
01:10:59And a ten percent type to some deserving organization or religious organization.
01:11:02Now.
01:11:03Now.
01:11:04Now.
01:11:05Now.
01:11:06Go.
01:11:07Now.
01:11:08attending religious services, Prophet Shan clan, and a 10% type to some
01:11:17deserving organization or religious organization. Now...
01:11:38Hello? Mr. Fox, this is Frankford down at the factory. I thought you ought to know, we've got a real emergency down here right now. It's Brother Rambo. He's in the plant and he's stirring up the employees about everything. Yeah, he did.
01:11:59Yeah, well, I figured that might happen. Don't worry. Just keep calm. Okay.
01:12:08Even if it means less profit for that absentee owner of this company, who, I might add, refused to let us buy into our own factory after we had worked so hard to collect the money.
01:12:27That is a great sermon, Brother. Would have been even better if you'd known what you were talking about.
01:12:32Brother, nobody knows better than me when my people are being treated unfairly.
01:12:41Baloney. Your people, your people hell. Now you listen here. Now hold on there. Let's go about this thing sensibly. Now this matter of absentee ownership.
01:12:53Yeah. Where is he? I mean, Mr. A.J. Fox. He's taking life easy while we're down here sweating our money for him.
01:13:01Arthur doesn't make any money from this company. And never did.
01:13:05Just what do you mean? That don't make no sense to me.
01:13:08Let me finish.
01:13:09He gets no money?
01:13:11No, honey, he doesn't.
01:13:12Well, who does?
01:13:14We do.
01:13:15Now, let me ask you something. Is there anything in writing regarding this matter?
01:13:21Yes, there is.
01:13:32The profits from said company shall be directed at first toward an educational scholarship for deserving children of the black community.
01:13:39And at such time as further profits allow, there shall be established within the township of Seminole City, a four-year liberal arts college.
01:13:49The precise location of which shall be determined by the trustees of the foundation.
01:13:55You might want to check this over, Reverend, to see if I read it correctly.
01:13:58Now, the foundation mentioned is strictly non-profit, chartered by the state.
01:14:08And since Mr. Fox owns no businesses in the state, he doesn't even get a tax write-off.
01:14:17Now, you hold on there just a minute.
01:14:20Ain't you trying to get past something?
01:14:22Now, just who are these trustees?
01:14:25Tell him who they are.
01:14:26Oh, it's right here.
01:14:27The following individuals have been designated as trustees for the foundation.
01:14:35Mrs. Hattie Fox, Mr. Henry David Washington, Mr. Ernest Frankford, Mr. Cunningham Calhoun, Miss Cindy MacDougall, and the Reverend Everett L. Rambo.
01:14:50If we could have the last three signatures, please.
01:14:59Excuse me.
01:15:02If it's all right with you, brother, we're going back to work.
01:15:05Here's the pen, brother.
01:15:06Sign it.
01:15:20I never thought I'd see the day that I would be glad to see you.
01:15:36Well, I was half expecting you to throw one of your hissy fits like the last time we saw each other.
01:15:41But A.J. was so damn insistent that I come over, I thought I'd better take the chance.
01:15:46I'm glad I did, Mama.
01:15:48Arthur told me that you got married.
01:15:50Yes, ma'am.
01:15:51I got a fine wife and two kids nearly grown.
01:15:54Should have give Arthur a push.
01:15:55He's still dangling.
01:15:57Well, don't you think it's about time that you should bring them around and let me see what they look like?
01:16:03Yes, ma'am.
01:16:05Bye, Mama.
01:16:07Okay, Henry.
01:16:08Let's go, Senator.
01:16:20Did you see that chauffeur?
01:16:33Look mighty fine.
01:16:35I don't see why he couldn't have give that job to some nice colored fellow.
01:16:39Oh, Mama.
01:16:40How's your girlfriend?
01:17:02Who, Bonnie?
01:17:05Well, Bonnie's out on the coast now.
01:17:14Got herself a motion picture contract.
01:17:17She probably got half of Hollywood up a tree by now.
01:17:20So what happened to Rambo's old tent?
01:17:33His foe ain't gone.
01:17:35He said something about the Lord's hand leading him into green or pastors.
01:17:41He's been gone almost a month now.
01:17:42You haven't said what this secret mission is all about.
01:17:49What's that?
01:17:55Oh, the mystery.
01:17:57Mama asking me to pick you up from the airport.
01:18:02Oh, when Frank would telephone me, I called, Mama.
01:18:06I thought I'd better come down here and see how the problems at the factory were being worked out.
01:18:11Well, when I landed, there you were.
01:18:14And here we are.
01:18:19Disappointed?
01:18:20No, pleased, actually.
01:18:30This is much nicer than the factory.
01:18:36Would you like some black-eyed peas?
01:18:39I would like some of everything.
01:18:41I would like some black-eyed peas.
01:18:55Cindy, why did you bring me here?
01:19:00Well, any woman knows the first thing a man needs is feeding.
01:19:04I mean, the factory is there, and it'd be all right now.
01:19:12This is good.
01:19:13And, um, this is not the Sunday special.
01:19:18Go ahead.
01:19:19You know, sometimes you amaze me.
01:19:34How's that?
01:19:36Well, most of the time you're so cool and business-like, and other times...
01:19:41Other times what?
01:19:43Other times, Mr. Fox, you are easy.
01:19:51Cindy, how'd you like to try to stay with me first thing in the morning?
01:19:55For a while.
01:19:55Well, when I move, and if I move, my man is going to be mine.
01:20:06I'm going to be staying down here for a while.
01:20:20I'm going to be staying down here for a while.
01:20:24Well, look, I mean, the factory is going to be needing, you know, more attention than I thought.
01:20:41And there are some other things, too.
01:20:44Of course I mean it.
01:20:45It looks like you got yourself a man.
01:21:05I thought you were supposed to feed me first.
01:21:12Now, don't this mean a damn stinking swamp?
01:21:15Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:21:17And all the crawdans watching.
01:21:19Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:21:45Arthur?
01:21:46Arthur?
01:21:47Arthur?
01:21:48Arthur?
01:21:49Arthur?
01:21:50Is that you?
01:21:51Arthur?
