Sophie and the Rising Sun Page #4

Come here, please.

Delicious.

I've never had crab cakes.

Well, ours are the best

in the south.

I believe it.

I'm not much of a cook

except for recipes with crab.

Cracked crab,

crab gumbo over grits,

she-crab soup,

soft-shell crab

in the spring.

I hope to taste them all.

Why were you on that bus,

Grover?

Apples.

A sweet non sequitur.

The Ohtas grow vegetables

in California.

I wanted to be the first in the

west with an apple orchard.

I worked for years

with different stocks

to develop sweet apples

without the harsh winters.

It took years

to convince my father.

Finally, he invested

a lot of money.

I used all of mine.

I went to New York

to buy 1,000 trees.

I had one day in New York City.

I treated myself

to a fine dinner.

A Broadway show.

How wonderful.

What a night!

I stopped for a drink.

There was a drunk man

at the bar.

He bought me drinks.

So stupid.

They stole all my money.

Beat me up.

I don't know how

I got to the bus.

With ten dollars

stuffed in my pocket.

Do you like music?

Very much.

"Baby won't you

please come home."

One of my favorites.

Do you like to dance?

I don't know how.

Neither do I.

We interrupt this program to bring

you a special news bulletin.

The Japanese have attacked

Pearl harbor, Hawaii, by air,

president Roosevelt

has just announced.

The attack also was made on all

naval and military activities

on the principal island of Oahu.

Sophie! Sophie Beatrice!

We take you now to Washington.

I'm talkin' to you.

Ruth.

Why aren't you comin' to church?

You come down here

and invite me in.

Ruth, there's gonna

be a war. Pearl harbor.

What are you talkin' about?

What?

A Japanese attack upon Pearl

harbor naturally would mean war.

Such an attack would naturally

bring a counterattack.

The Navy base in Hawaii.

It was bombed.

Who... who would do that?

Japanese did it.

Oh, dear lord.

Oh, oh... dear.

H-how many dead?

How many wounded?

They haven't said.

Oh.

Oh!

Did... did you kiss

that foreigner?

Down by the river?

What? No.

Samille's maid said you did it.

No, I didn't.

I-i swear it.

Pull harder, queen Sally,

we're almost there.

Row faster,

queen Sally, row faster.

Sophie Willis!

You're too big to still

be playin' with them n*ggers.

Get over here!

Miss Ruth, stop!

Miss Ruth!

Disgraceful to this family.

Come, John!

I'm speakin' for Minna now.

You stay away from that Chinaman.

You hear me, girl?

Uh, the...

The Japanese, they...

They bombed Pearl harbor!

What? Was a despicable

sneak attack.

We'll surely go to war now.

People will think you're

one of them evil Japs.

They won't understand that the

Chinese are different. I'm American.
