Take care, ma'am.

Now, where do you live, hon?

Ma'am, you're gonna have to tell me

where you live.

Now, I'm gonna go in your purse.

I'm just letting you know.

I'm going in your purse

to try to find an address on you, all right?

You probably ought to call

I'm gonna have to go.

You gonna be all right?

Well, I imagine it'll help them find out

who did it.

You really believe they gonna do that?

I believe they'll try their best, I do.

He's a black kid.

You think they gonna do that?

Here's your bag.

I'm just gonna leave it on the floor here.

I'm real sorry.

Mr. Grotowski?

Just wanted to say sorry about Sonny.

We liked him a lot.

We feel bad, sir.

Which one of y'all is Willie,

and which one of you's Harry?

This is Willie. That's Darryl.

I'll see you. I appreciate that.

I'm going over to the cafe.

Do you want me to give you a ride?

Sure you don't mind?

I'm going that way, anyway.

Is this music all right with you?

- 'Cause I can change it.

- No, it's cool.

You ain't got a car?

It's broke.

I'm saving to get me another one.

Thank you.

You have a good shift, okay?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Hey, Pop.

I bought a gas station.

It's all bought and paid for. We own it.

Don't say "we."

You own it.

I didn't buy it.

Yeah, well...

I wouldn't have bought no gas station.

Is that right?

I would've stuck to what I knew best.

- What's that?
