Mary: Oh no you must have me confused. I'm sad is all, but I don't need no saving.

Remmick: [eyes now red with drool hanging from his mouth; he looks at her neck and Mary quickly gets up and points a gun] Yes... yes you do. You all do.

Mary: [as she walks away, Remmick levitates into the air, eyes glowing] I'm gonna head back now, and I think y'all should too. Back to where we all came from.

Smoke: That's right. And you are?

Remmick: Name's Remmick. This here's Joan and Bert.

Sammie: Hey Stack, y'all alright?

Remmick: Aww, and you... must be that voice I heard from out here. Aw, it was beautiful.

Smoke: Where y'all from?

Joan: Just down the road.

Stack: And how far is that?

Remmick: North Carolina.

Smoke: Y'all Klan?

Remmick: [offended] Sir... w-we believe in equality and music. We just came here to play. Spend some money, have a good time. Here, I'll show you.

Smoke: [stopping the music after a bit] Hold on hold on, just a minute.

Remmick: Aw, its just about to get good.

Smoke: Nah I believe ya. But this here a juke joint.

Stack: Blues music.

Bert: Well we've got money and we ready to spend it with y'all.

Remmick: Soundin damn near perfect and you're saying we ain't welcome.

Smoke: Nah I'm saying you get down that road and get back into town. Plenty of white barrel houses down there.

Remmick: [chuckles; gestures to skin; Points at Mary] Aw this- this cuz we're... Alright. How'd she get in?

Mary: Now that is none-

Annie: [interrupting] She here cuz she family.

Remmick: [sighs; he steps forward, and Smoke reaches for his gun] Family... Can- can we just, for one night, just all be family? Y-you don't need to do that, sir. We'll be on our way. But we're gonna walk real slow, just in case y'all change your mind.

Mary: Get yo hands off me.

Stack: What's it gon take, hmm? How much to getchu to get the fuck on?

Mary: You can't pay me off.

Stack: Fine... I'll pay one of these field bitches in here to drag yo ass out, then—

Mary: Shit, you taught me how to fight; I'll beat up every bitch in here, and you know it.

Stack: I taught you how to walk away when the money's up, too. Got you a rich white husband, got you a farm, now go home to it.

Mary: I ain't ask for none of that - all that shit was your idea! I didn't want no white man, I didn't want to be white. I wanted to be with you!

Stack: All it'd take is the wrong person in here to see you - word get back to them crackas, and they gon try to kill you.

Mary: What would it matter to you?

Stack: Cause, if somebody out there put they hands on you... if they hurt you... me and my brother gon come kill em all.

Mary: So you'll kill for me.

Stack: That's right.

Mary: But you still won't tell me the truth. I was young enough to believe you were comin back. I waited. I waited a long time. But I'm grown now, Stack! And I know you never planned to stay. Why can't you just say that?!

Stack: [He removes his hat] Say what? Hmm? That I love you? That I think about you every day? I just wanted to keep you someplace safe. And that was never gon be here... and it was never gon be with me. Never.

Stack: The hell are you doin back here, Mary?

Mary: I buried my mama yesterday, Stack. Figured I'd might see you and Smoke there, as much as she looked after you both. But I guess y'all love lasted as long as y'all could get somethin out of her.

Stack: You right. That's all she was: Food, a warm bed.

Mary: [walks away] Rot in Hell, Stack!

Stack: [as she walks away] Shit, I will. And save yo triflin ass a room! Shit, right next to me... shit...

Mary: You know, I waited for you.

Stack: Shit, I don't know why in the hell you gon do that.

Mary: Because you told me you loved me.

Stack: Well, I told you to stay the fuck away from me, too, but I guess you didn't hear that part, huh?

Mary: Ohh, I heard you. I heard you loud and clear, but then you stuck your tongue in my cooze and fucked me so hard, I figured you changed your mind.

Stack: Keep your voice down now.

Mary: So, you play that guitar they left you?

Sammie: Yeah.

Mary: That's good. You makin any money with that thing?

Sammie: Not really. Not yet, at least.

Mary: I'd tell ya it didn't matter as long as you love it, but that'd be horseshit advice.

Sammie Moore: I don't think you should be here. See, I'm with the twins.

Mary: With the twins? Boy, if you don't get the fuck outta my face.

Sammie: I've seen you somewhere before.

Pearline: Maybe.

Sammie: You sing, don'tcha?

Pearline: Time to time.

Sammie: [offers his hand as she shakes it] Mmm-hmm. I'm Preacherboy.

Pearline: Pearline...

Sammie: Pearline... hmm...

Pearline: I'm married, by the way.

Sammie: ... Happily?

Pearline: [slowly walks away] Careful, boy... you gon bite off more than you can chew.

Smoke: Where you from?

Little Girl: Shelby.

Smoke: You heard of the Smokestack Twins?

Little Girl: Of course.

Smoke: [the little girl cautiously backs away.; the little girl nods; the little girl nods again] Good. I'm Smoke. No no no no, now. You not in no trouble; see, I'm tryin to put some money in yo pocket. See, I'mma need you to come sit in this truck right here. And if somebody come and look a little too long, I want you to lean on this horn, alright? Can you do that fo me? Can you tell time? Now, I'mma pay you 10¢ for every minute that I'm gone. Will that work for you?

Little Girl: [nodding while smiling] Yes, sir.

Smoke: [shakes his head] No, ma'am... See, we talkin numbers, now. And numbers always gotta be in conversation with each other, you understand? You gotta negotiate. Now, 10¢ just won't work for you. Talk another number back to me.

Little Girl: Fiddy cent.

Smoke: [the little girl gleefully nods] 20¢. Best I can do. We got a deal?

Smoke: Shit. Cracka showin up late already got us behind schedule. I'm thinkin we just set up tonight; open up next weekend.

Stack: Nah, fuck that. It's gotta be tonight. Grand openin', start this shit with a bang.

Smoke: Or we start with a misfire.

Stack: Look at that sky. That's a mighty fine day to be free, ain't it? Our own juke joint. Fo us and by us, just like we always wanted.

Smoke: Only chance we got if we split up. Well, who gon watch the truck while I'm in there talkin to the Chows?

Stack: Nigga, just let em see it's you!

Smoke: We been gon a long time, Stack.

Stack: Seven years ain't long enough to forget about us.

Sammie: [[w:Jim_Crow_laws|Jim Crow] So, tell me about Chicago. I heard they ain't got ] up there. Black man can go where he wants.

Smoke: Listen, boy, you can't be believin everythin that you hear. Town'll fill yo head up with this make-believe, but me and yo cousin? We gon give it to you straight. Chicago ain't shit but Mississippi with tall buildings instead of plantations.

Stack: And that's why we came back home: Figured we might as well deal with the devil we know.

Hogwood: [seeing Smoke and Stack for the first time] You boys twins?

Stack: [sarcastically] Naw, we cousins.

Jedediah: You keep dancing with the devil, one day he's gonna follow you home.

Delta Slim: See, white folks, they like the blues just fine. They just don't like the people who make it.

Grace: Come on in, you motherfuckers!

Remmick: This world already left you for dead. Won't let you build. Won't let you fellowship. We will do just that. Together. Forever. I can save you from your fate. I am your way out.
