-Not unless you're under oath.

Why don't y'all go down to

the pool for a while? Have some fun.

We've all had enough of this mess.

-You think she stole a car?

-Absolutely.

If baby sister needed a car,

she'd get one.

I bet she's having the time

of her life off there by herself.

I hope she is.

I hope she's living it up.

Because if she does get caught,

that's when the fun stops.

Hey, I know you.

Weren't you marching

at the courthouse yesterday?

So what if I was?

I just saw you, that's all.

I ain't gonna tell anybody.

You better leave me alone.

-Get out of the pool.

-Where's everybody going?

Just get out.

Come on out of there.

Who let you boys in the pool?

Nobody.

We just came in back yonder.

You snuck in, is what you did.

Come on out.

-We wanna swim. That's all.

-Go on home.

It's white only allowed in this pool.

Excuse me. This is a public place.

We have a right to be here.

Right.

Come on, let's go.

-I'm going over there.

-No, stay here.

Go on home, now!

Y'all just run along!

-Pikcaninny!

-Go swim in the pond!

No coloured people.

-Go swim somewhere else.

-I'll kick your butt.

-Y'all know you don't belong here.

-Go swim in the pond!

-Here you go.

-Thank you.

Where you headed, hon?

California.

You going out there

to be a movie star?

How could you tell?

We get about one through here a week.

Bet you've already got

your movie name picked out.

I sure do. It's Carolyn Clay.

Kind of like Marilyn Monroe,

only different. You like it?

It's all right. But,

honey, my advice to you:

Go back to the husband.

It's too late for that.

He's dead.

Well, I hope you know

how to wait tables, then.

How did he die? I mean,

if you don't mind me asking.

I killed him.

Well.

I guess that fixed

his little red wagon.

He's following me, though.

I mean, not him, his ghost.

Only it don't sound like a ghost.

It sounds just like him.

Are you sure he's dead?

I made sure of that.

Do you ever need to get rid of

somebody that just would not go away?

My first husband.

He used to yell out his mother's name

when we were doing it, making love.

The only thing Chester ever yelled

was "touchdown."

It's a warm day

here in Cotton County.

Expecting a high temperature of 96,

with a chance...

... of thunderstorms.

They just want to swim.

You heard what Uncle Dove said.

It's not fair.

It's just the way things are.

What if you wanted to swim

and they threw you out like that?

Oh, forget it. Go get wet.

Jim!

John.

You get out of there right now.

Come on!

What in the world do they think

they'll do?

Hold on.

You boys don't want any trouble.

We don't want trouble, sir.

We just wanna swim.

-What's your name, son?
