and not in a bank account?

Why are you playing

in front of 100 people

and not 20,000?

Too much loss.

I lost my family, my

people, my country,

my money, my dreams.

I lost it all.

Don't be afraid of me.

You've been

an ex-patriot since 1970.

Being an

outspoken black woman,

I feared for my life in America.

That was my feeling then,

but now I realize it's

only normal to want

acceptance for

one's own country,

for ones gifts that

god has given you.

And I'm tired of begging for it.

But you do get a lot of love

when you perform though,

I mean people,

of course they love you.

Yeah, I do, I get a lot of love.

But not enough.

Come on, wake up.

Wake up.

Let's go to nice.

You should see me in nice.

I'm a star in nice, come on.

Yes, yes, yes, let's go!

Come on, go!

This is my Clifton.

My dear friends,

let's make a toast.

To friends.

Cheers.

And to gatherings.

I only got water.

It's okay, you can toast

with whatever you want, baby.

You're with me.

Nina Simone.

Merci, Merci.

I'm shy.

All right.

Want me to take your shoes off?

Take it off.

Nina.

Baby, come on, stop

with the bullshit

and just f*** me

already, come on.

- Nina, stop.

- Come on.

Stop.

Go get me Stefan

from the bar downstairs.

Go, f*ggot.

Get me a real man.

There's this beautiful

black boy in the valley.

Ask him if he'd like to

have dinner with us tonight.

Whatever you say.

Cheers.

Where the hell have you been?

I've been calling you.

What, are you packed already?

I'm not going back with you.

I'm gonna go get the bellhop.

I'm going home to Chicago.

- You're not going to Chicago.

- Yes, I am.

We have a contract,

you don't break the contract.

Doesn't include

me being your pimp.

Pimp?

Think I need a pimp?

- Hmm?

- No.

I don't think you need a pimp.

Don't go, Clifton.

Take care.

Don't go.

Clifton!

Clifton.

Hello?

Nina,

it's doctor Cousier.

Uh huh.

I've called you

several times

over the last few months and...

You need to know.

The results of the

biopsy are serious.

We need to do

something about it.

We need to do it soon.

Okay.

You must

come in to see me, please.

Bye.

Are you still sleeping?

It's 11 o'clock.

What about that job interview?

Did you go on it?

Not yet.

Yeah?

Shut the front door.

This where Clifton grew up?

Well, it's where the Clifton

tried to grow up.

Clifton's a good boy.

He is.

I just can't believe

you are in our house.

You know, I have all your music.

I do.

Growing up,

Clifton must've heard

these records a million times.

Nina Simone at Carnegie hall

and Nina Simone...

Let me see that.

I haven't seen this

in a long time.

Silk and soul.

This one.

I never ever took this
