Первая сцена

Hey, you want some? I’m fine. Thank you, Tony. Thanks. I think this is the best Kentucky fried chicken I ever had. Burgers is fresher down here, right? I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with your appetite.

No, I got the bucket so you could have some. I’ve never had fried chicken in my life. Who you bullshitting? You people love the fried chicken, the grits and the collard greens. I love it too. Negro cooks used to make it all the time when I was in the army. You have a very narrow assessment of me, Tony. Yeah, right? I’m good. No, no, you’re not good. You’re bad. I’m saying just because other Negroes enjoy certain types of music, it doesn’t mean I have to, nor do we all eat the same kind of food. Bro! Wait a minute. If you said all Guineas like pizza and spaghetti and meatballs, I’m not gonna get assaulted. You’re missing the point. For you to make the assumption that every Negro… Hey, you want some or not? No. Hey, come on. Tell me that don’t smell good. Huh? It smells OK. I prefer not to get grease on my blanket. Ooh, I’m going to get grease on my blankie. Come on, have a piece. It ain’t going to kill you. Come on, take it, eat it. No. Take it. I’m throwing it in the back. Don’t you dare. Then you better take it. How? Do you have plates or utensils? Buffongo, eat it with your hands. That’s how you’re supposed to. I can’t do that. Eat it. Come on, take it, take it, take it. I got drive. Turn them two on the wheel. Come on. Take it, take it, take it. Come on, come on.Here you go. Huh? I can’t do this, Tony. Eat the goddamn thing. Jesus. Wasn’t no good. Just seems…So unsanitary. Who gives a shit? Just relax and enjoy it. You know, my father used to say, whatever you do, do it 100%. When you work, work. When you laugh, laugh. When you eat, eat like it’s your last meal. You want another piece? Here. Have a breast. Delicious. Take it. Eat. What do we do about the bones? We do this. This is what we do. There you go. What’s the big deal, Doc? Squirrels wouldn’t eat it anyway. Pick it up, Tom. Nature takes care of the earth. Pick it up. Ah, jeez.

  1. to be assaulted – to be attacked —physically, verbally, or sexually.

License and papers. Am I glad to see you. We had to turn off the main road and now we’re lost. Step out of the car. What I do? Out of the car. Why are you on this road?

I told you, we had to make a detour and we got lost. Why are you driving him? He’s my boss. He can’t be out here at night. It’s the sun downtown. What’s that?

Get him out of the car and check his ID. Oh, come on. It’s pouring rain. Sir, I can just get it right here to the window. Get him out of the car. Come on, get out now. Get out now. Get out. Got ID? How do you say this last name? Vallo Lomond. What kind of name is that? It’s Italian. Oh.

Oh, I see. That’s why you driving him around. You half a nigga yourself. Hands in the air! Now! Now! Excuse me. Excuse me, sirs. I understand why my associate is being held, but what exactly am I being charged with?

You seem like reasonable men. Perhaps you could let me out so that we could discuss the situation further. Just put the apple butter away, boy. You ain’t going nowhere no time soon. You cannot hold me without cause. Well, I got cause. Because you let the sun set on your black ass. Look at them over there. Take a good look at the officer you hit. Look at him. He’s over there having a grand old time chatting up with his pals enjoying a nice cup of coffee. And where are you? In here, with me, who did nothing. Yet I’m the one who pays the price. I’m the one who’s gonna miss the Birmingham show. Hey, I’m gonna lose a lot of money, too, if you don’t play Birmingham. So that little temper tantrum, was it worth it? hmm? You never win with violence, Tony. You only win when you maintain your dignity. Dignity always prevails. And tonight, because of you, we did not.
