"but she didn't want to.
"She said she was scared
of him and scared not to.
"I was mad at her for a while
and mad at your daddy,
"but he said he didn't do it,
"and I believed him against her
"until she come up pregnant.
"He had to come up with
the truth because...
she had a white baby. "
"Now... "
Hmm... sheesh.
"Willa Mae is your real
mama by blood, Earl.
"You come up looking white,
so nobody knew the difference. "
Isn't that cute?
as my own, Earl.
"Please forgive me.
"If you do, I have a wish
for you to do for me.
"Willa Mae had another boy
before you named Raymond.
"Raymond Lee Murdock.
"They called him point
"'cause when he was little,
he had a pointy head.
Willa Mae was my friend,
and Raymond was your brother. "
"That whole family
was good people to us,
"and they are your family,
"and if you don't ever have
"or look at my picture
or anything,
"I wish the one thing
you would do for me
"is to find your brother
and know him as your family. "
Hmm.
"Willa Mae died having you.
I was right there. "
Oh, Lord.
"She told me that after
you come into this world
"that you was beautiful
"and that she loved you...
"and that she loved you.
"The last I heard,
"Raymond was in Chicago
and was a policeman.
"That's all I ever heard.
"I will always, for eternity,
"love you as my son.
Mama. "
Now, daddy, mama's mind was
going at the end, wasn't it?
I mean, this is all just
she dreamed up.
I mean, did you...
Did you lie in bed
with a n*gger woman?
Go ahead and cry
your damn eyes out
'cause I wanna know
who my real mama is.
Is she colored, or is she white?
It's a mess, daddy.
Now, you lied to me
for many years.
You're a sorry son of a b*tch.
I love you, but you're sorry.
And this is a mess.
I...
I mean to tell you this is a mess.
So I hardly walk in the door,
and I find out David has
called a big meeting.
And you know how in love David
is with meetings. So, the deal is,
they put in a new computer
system without telling anybody,
and then they expect us
to learn it in five minutes.
I swear, I'm just about
fed up with that place.
Better not quit that job.
Jobs don't grow on trees around here.
Who said anything about
quitting, daddy? I was just...
complaining.
That's about all you do.
Where's papaw at?
He went to bed already.
Said he was feeling
all wore out, poor thing.
I wasn't complaining, daddy.
I was just talking about my day.
What's the matter with
you, anyways? Nothing.
Just trying to eat
my supper in peace.
That's all.
Ha.
You blue-eyed n*gger.
Where...
Where are my blue britches?
