Thank you, Miss Boatwright. |
It's about the Three Musketeers. |
Thank you, Miss Boatwright. |
When you read it we'll talk about it... |
Yes mam... We gotta go, Miss Boatwright.. . |
Tell Rebecca I said 'hi', now... |
Would you like to have a cool drink, David? |
No, thank you I gotta go do some work in the field today. |
I'll find out where your daddy is for you. |
Thank you, Miss Boatwright! |
Don't mention this to anyone! You hear me, David! |
You know where my father is, don't you, Miss Boatwright? |
No, he was wrong, David, I didn't find out. |
But I saw you you looked in there, and you found out, Miss Boatwright. |
If I tell you I didn't, David, that's what I mean. |
But, Miss Boatwright, you |
I don't know a damn thing, now stop bothering me about it! |
Come, I'll take you home. |
I'll walk... |
Don't pout now, David, it's a long trip. |
I'm used to it. |
Hello, David... |
Hi, Mrs. Boatwright... I'm sorry 'bout the way I acted the other day, Miss Boatwright. |
David Lee, it's time for you to get to bed! |
Goodnight. |
Mama, there's hot meat on the stove! |
That's right! |
Where did it come from, Mama? |
Where all meat come from now git yourself washed up and be snappy about it you got six miles ahead of you to that school. |
Ready to go, Mama! |
Tuck that shirt in, David Lee. |
You got two shirts on? |
Yes mam... |
When you get outta that school, you come right on back home, y'all gon' have to take this laundry work I done for Miss Boatwright today. |
Who's winning, Mama? |
Nobody yet it's all tied up. |
What do they do in the white churches, Mama? |
Same as we they pray. |
Who is they? |
Children, come here... |
Don't take my Daddy! Please don't take my Daddy! |
David, come back here! |
'Bye, Mama... |
'Bye, son I won't be gone long. |
Did you see Daddy? |
No, son. We havta wait 'til the holiday comes anyway, they won't let womenfolk see their men no time. |
Can I go when the holiday comes? |
You sure can, son... |
Any sign of Sounder? |
No mam I looked all over. |
I think maybe he was scraped on the head by that shot. I don't think he's dead just gone somewhere to heal himself. |
What is it, David Lee? |
Listen, Mama... |
Poor creature... |
He'll be all right, Mama. I'll make him all right. |
Mama! Mama! Miss Boatwright, say she gon' help me find where Daddy is! |
Good! But you don't have to tell the whole valley 'bout it! You'll get that woman in trouble! |
Can't sleep? |
No, ma'am... Mama, I wanted Mrs. Boatwright to find out where Daddy is, so me and Sounder can go see him. |
So did I. I figured when the time got right, we could all take a day or two and walk up there, but it's not the kind of long trip for a child to take alone. |
I can do it, Mama you know that. In the Bible stories you read to us, everybody's always goin' on a long journey. Jacob goes into a strange land where his uncle is and he don't even know where he lives, but he finds him. Everybody finds what they supposed to find. |
But you'll be away from home for days what will you do when the dark comes, where will you sleep? I can't send you away from here like that! |
Mama, don't I always do what you say every time I go to the fields to plant the corn, to Miss Boatwright's and the woods you tell me what to do and I do it, and you don't worry. |
No, I don't and I oughtn't not to after the way you've taken over since they took him away and I would like for you to see 'im so you can come back and tell me about 'im. The field's all planted, so I guess I can spare you for a little while. When do you wanta leave? |
Can I go day after tomorrow? |
Yes, son. You better get back to bed. |
Good night, Mama... |
Good night... |
I wish you wouldn't take the dog with you, David he's likely to be a burden to you. |
I got to, Mama. I know Daddy wants to see him. |
Here's your food now you go straight to that place if you need to rest, go into a church or railroad station but don't go into nobody's house, you hear me? |
Yes, mam... |
Ask your daddy to give you some word about when he'll be comin' home and tell 'im we love him. |
I cut it on some glass and we got lost, Mama. |
Did you find your father? |
Didn't see 'im, Mama. The other men there say they didn't know Daddy. |
I guess they musta sent 'im to another camp. |
What's that you carryin'? |
Some books Miss Johnson gave me. |
Who's Miss Johnson? |
Miss Johnson is a teacher, and... |
So when I left, she gave me these books. |
Miss Johnson must be a real kindly lady. |
She is, Mama... When the fall comes, she wants me to come to her school. |
How can you do that? You don't live anywhere near that school. |
She says I can come live with her while school goin' on, and come back home every time there ain't no school. |
But who's gonna help me here with the house and in the field? |
What's wrong with him, David? |
It's the heat. |
It's when the heat is so bad, dogs go crazy. |
He won't go mad he's just lookin' for a cooler spot. |
What's wrong, Nathan? |
He can't get up, Mama! |
Be good and be smart, little boy. |
Yes, ma'm... |
What's in there, David!? |
Sausage and hambones! |
He eats all right his throat ain't scarred. |
Then why don't he holler like he usta? |
He will... Come on, git down and act like a possum. |
