1
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:05,656
The summer of '69 was a
summer of momentous events.

2
00:00:05,682 --> 00:00:09,202
Russia was involved in a border
conflict on the brink of war,

3
00:00:09,228 --> 00:00:12,234
inflation was the highest
it'd been in nearly 20 years,

4
00:00:12,260 --> 00:00:14,398
and women didn't have
the right to choose.

5
00:00:14,424 --> 00:00:17,060
Glad we don't live in
those times anymore.

6
00:00:17,086 --> 00:00:18,453
Anyway...

7
00:00:18,479 --> 00:00:19,867
for my Southern family,

8
00:00:19,893 --> 00:00:21,857
summer used to bring barbecues,

9
00:00:21,883 --> 00:00:23,304
road trips...

10
00:00:23,335 --> 00:00:24,906
Everybody used the bathroom, right?

11
00:00:24,932 --> 00:00:27,335
- Me first.
- I'll just go in the bushes.

12
00:00:27,361 --> 00:00:28,880
and games.

13
00:00:28,906 --> 00:00:31,529
If you're on my property where I
have a house, you pay me rent.

14
00:00:31,555 --> 00:00:33,859
If you can't pay, you go to jail.

15
00:00:33,885 --> 00:00:36,429
He wasn't even playing the game, y'all.

16
00:00:37,289 --> 00:00:39,763
But what made the
summer of '69 different

17
00:00:39,798 --> 00:00:42,773
was that I spent it in New
York City with my dad.

18
00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:44,867
He was writing songs for Marvin Gaye,

19
00:00:44,893 --> 00:00:46,593
and I was trying to make new friends.

20
00:00:46,619 --> 00:00:48,820
Unfortunately, neither
of us had succeeded

21
00:00:48,846 --> 00:00:50,636
in the month we'd been here.

22
00:00:51,131 --> 00:00:54,554
I knew it'd been a month because I
was on my fourth pair of underwear.

23
00:00:56,021 --> 00:00:58,484
Is that Mama on the phone?
Can I talk to her?

24
00:00:59,289 --> 00:01:00,976
- Hey, Ma, guess what.
- That's enough.

25
00:01:01,002 --> 00:01:03,070
You know how expensive long-distance is.

26
00:01:03,992 --> 00:01:06,031
Are things going better
with your song-writing?

27
00:01:06,195 --> 00:01:08,703
No. I haven't even met Marvin yet.

28
00:01:08,729 --> 00:01:11,796
You want to take a
"boudoir" picture for you

29
00:01:11,822 --> 00:01:14,032
and send it to you for inspiration?

30
00:01:14,058 --> 00:01:16,474
I can get it developed tomorrow

31
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:18,890
and rush delivery.
And you'll have it five days later.

32
00:01:18,916 --> 00:01:20,859
I'm not gonna say no to that.

33
00:01:20,885 --> 00:01:22,992
"Sexting" may have taken longer then,

34
00:01:23,018 --> 00:01:26,023
but at least a guy couldn't
claim, "I sent that by accident."

35
00:01:26,049 --> 00:01:27,464
But nothing's working.

36
00:01:27,525 --> 00:01:30,045
These songs are so bad, Pat
Boone wouldn't even steal them.

37
00:01:30,095 --> 00:01:31,679
Maybe we should just come back home.

38
00:01:31,705 --> 00:01:33,576
Wait, I haven't even
ridden in a taxi yet.

39
00:01:33,610 --> 00:01:34,695
Ridden?

40
00:01:34,721 --> 00:01:37,000
I couldn't even get one
to stop for me until '96.

41
00:01:37,026 --> 00:01:39,023
You are Bill Williams,

42
00:01:39,049 --> 00:01:41,515
the baddest song writer there is.

43
00:01:41,541 --> 00:01:42,766
In Alabama.

44
00:01:42,792 --> 00:01:44,015
Anywhere.

45
00:01:44,041 --> 00:01:46,054
And if you let New York get to you,

46
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,840
you'll never forgive yourself.

47
00:01:48,312 --> 00:01:50,531
You're right about that.

48
00:01:50,604 --> 00:01:52,743
And don't worry about things here.

49
00:01:52,769 --> 00:01:55,703
Everything is just like you left it.

50
00:01:58,539 --> 00:02:01,140
Now help me get rid of the rest
of your father's old stuff.

51
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:02,754
Why does he even have most of this?

52
00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:04,955
Child, you know that man
can't let go of nothing.

53
00:02:04,981 --> 00:02:07,585
He's like a baby with a fistful of hair.

54
00:02:13,029 --> 00:02:15,578
Oh, Lillian. Thank God.

55
00:02:15,604 --> 00:02:19,367
All these houses look alike. This
is the fourth door I've knocked on.

56
00:02:19,656 --> 00:02:21,320
Jackie?

57
00:02:21,812 --> 00:02:23,828
You know, you have some rude neighbors.

58
00:02:23,854 --> 00:02:27,353
I mean, just because it's not the right house
doesn't mean I can't use the bathroom.

59
00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:28,527
Geez.

60
00:02:29,291 --> 00:02:30,984
Aunt Jackie!

61
00:02:32,787 --> 00:02:35,710
Jackie was Mom's sister, and
they were polar opposites,

62
00:02:35,736 --> 00:02:38,164
which is why she was
our favorite relative.

63
00:02:38,190 --> 00:02:40,460
We didn't see her often, and
whenever she was in town,

64
00:02:40,486 --> 00:02:42,289
it usually meant she needed money.

65
00:02:43,578 --> 00:02:45,716
What brings you into town?

66
00:02:45,751 --> 00:02:48,320
Oh, I'm just passing through,
girl, but don't worry.

67
00:02:48,354 --> 00:02:49,460
I don't need nothing,

68
00:02:49,486 --> 00:02:52,632
so you can tell Bill he doesn't have
to hide his cash or his liquor.

69
00:02:52,658 --> 00:02:54,078
Oh, well, Bill's out of town.

70
00:02:54,104 --> 00:02:56,085
Well, in that case, where's
his cash and liquor?

71
00:02:58,251 --> 00:02:59,601
Oh, I'm joking.

72
00:03:00,054 --> 00:03:01,914
Well, where you off to now?

73
00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:04,184
Oh, and whose car is that?

74
00:03:04,210 --> 00:03:05,875
My boyfriend Keith's.

75
00:03:05,901 --> 00:03:08,257
You remember him. We used
to call him "Pooh-Star."

76
00:03:08,291 --> 00:03:11,304
Anyway, he let me borrow it so I can
go to Tuscaloosa tomorrow night

77
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:13,726
to see a friend perform
at a new nightclub.

78
00:03:13,752 --> 00:03:15,202
Nightclub?

79
00:03:15,298 --> 00:03:18,398
You told me Tuscaloosa only had the
University of Alabama and churches.

80
00:03:18,424 --> 00:03:20,515
- Hush.
- So, I was stopping by

81
00:03:20,541 --> 00:03:22,679
to see if you guys
wanted to come with me.

82
00:03:22,705 --> 00:03:25,375
Oh, you ain't said nothing but a word.

83
00:03:25,468 --> 00:03:28,523
Well, now, hold on, Kim. We
can't just up and leave.

84
00:03:28,549 --> 00:03:30,654
We're having a yard sale tomorrow.

85
00:03:30,867 --> 00:03:33,648
That's what this is? I thought
y'all were getting evicted.

86
00:03:33,674 --> 00:03:35,945
You just don't want to go
'cause Daddy will get mad.

87
00:03:35,971 --> 00:03:37,757
I'm not afraid of your father.

88
00:03:37,783 --> 00:03:40,304
Oh, is that why you waited
for him to go to New York

89
00:03:40,330 --> 00:03:41,851
before selling his stuff?

90
00:03:45,573 --> 00:03:47,057
You know what?

91
00:03:47,209 --> 00:03:49,015
Go pack a bag for the trip.

92
00:03:49,526 --> 00:03:51,507
That's my girl!

93
00:03:54,117 --> 00:03:55,924
I'm just gonna make sure
the phone is hung up

94
00:03:55,950 --> 00:03:58,820
and Bill is not still on the line.

95
00:04:03,867 --> 00:04:09,203
www.subtitulamos.tv

96
00:04:16,671 --> 00:04:19,343
Dad's goal was to sell
a song to Marvin Gaye.

97
00:04:19,369 --> 00:04:21,612
My goal was to make New York friends.

98
00:04:21,638 --> 00:04:23,395
We'd dodge trollies, play stickball,

99
00:04:23,421 --> 00:04:24,929
dance choreographed numbers.

100
00:04:24,955 --> 00:04:28,578
Okay, so my knowledge of New York comes
from timeless musicals. So what?

101
00:04:28,604 --> 00:04:31,937
I'll be home by 5:00. Don't leave the house.
Don't answer the door.

102
00:04:31,963 --> 00:04:33,582
Don't answer the phone.
Don't turn on the stove.

103
00:04:33,608 --> 00:04:35,070
Don't spend all day watching TV.

104
00:04:35,096 --> 00:04:37,250
So far, the most
exciting things I'd done

105
00:04:37,276 --> 00:04:39,351
was watch my dad go to
work and watch two rats

106
00:04:39,377 --> 00:04:40,812
fight over an egg roll,

107
00:04:40,838 --> 00:04:43,453
which I later discovered
was another rat.

108
00:04:46,721 --> 00:04:48,178
But this was new.

109
00:04:48,204 --> 00:04:51,640
I certainly had no context
for a man wearing a dress.

110
00:04:51,845 --> 00:04:54,468
I mean, in Alabama, we had
plenty of church ladies

111
00:04:54,494 --> 00:04:57,023
with mustaches, sure,
but that didn't count.

112
00:04:59,668 --> 00:05:01,152
Stop staring.

113
00:05:10,229 --> 00:05:11,656
Hello. I've got an appointment.

114
00:05:11,838 --> 00:05:13,276
- Your name?
- Robinson.

115
00:05:13,302 --> 00:05:15,331
Oh, hey, Mr. Williams.

116
00:05:15,621 --> 00:05:17,518
Here comes "Alabama."

117
00:05:17,544 --> 00:05:19,684
Bag all you want. I'm
gonna sock it to Marvin.

118
00:05:19,710 --> 00:05:22,557
- He gonna love this one.
- Let me guess. It's probably got a banjo in it.

119
00:05:24,042 --> 00:05:26,167
I couldn't believe the
blatant disrespect

120
00:05:26,193 --> 00:05:28,755
they showed my dad because
we were from Alabama.

121
00:05:28,781 --> 00:05:31,377
I mean, it's not like we
were from Mississippi.

122
00:05:31,816 --> 00:05:33,393
Wait till you hear this one.

123
00:05:37,245 --> 00:05:39,109
When I'm in your arms...

124
00:05:39,135 --> 00:05:41,401
Stop. Stop. I'm gonna
stop you right there.

125
00:05:41,427 --> 00:05:42,948
But I hadn't got to the best part yet.

126
00:05:42,982 --> 00:05:44,835
You know who else isn't
gonna get to the best part?

127
00:05:44,861 --> 00:05:46,415
Anybody listening.

128
00:05:49,006 --> 00:05:50,323
Marvin's here.

129
00:05:55,985 --> 00:05:57,598
Hey, what's happening, fellas?

130
00:05:57,633 --> 00:05:59,013
I'm loving the new material.

131
00:05:59,048 --> 00:06:00,141
Thanks, Marvin.

132
00:06:00,167 --> 00:06:01,594
There's more where that came from.

133
00:06:02,292 --> 00:06:03,500
You see...

134
00:06:03,953 --> 00:06:05,779
Daaaaaamn, Alabama.

135
00:06:05,813 --> 00:06:06,953
What?

136
00:06:06,979 --> 00:06:09,758
It's not my fault that
it's a catchy nickname.

137
00:06:10,404 --> 00:06:14,071
- Armstrong is on the moon. Neil Armstrong.
- Okay, I'm gonna step off the LEM now.

138
00:06:14,097 --> 00:06:16,110
- A 38-year-old American...
- Dean,

139
00:06:16,136 --> 00:06:18,164
- standing on the surface of the moon.
- I need your help.

140
00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:21,282
The guys at the studio said my music
wasn't what the kids are dancing to,

141
00:06:21,308 --> 00:06:23,426
so I need you to let me know
when I'm onto something.

142
00:06:23,461 --> 00:06:26,391
- Okay. Sure, I guess.
- That's one small step...

143
00:06:26,909 --> 00:06:29,703
- Okay...
- one giant leap for mankind.

144
00:06:29,729 --> 00:06:33,352
Oh, you need a better line
for this "oooo" sound.

145
00:06:33,378 --> 00:06:37,227
There's, poo-poo, boo-boo, poo-poo...

146
00:06:37,253 --> 00:06:38,602
You're not even trying.

147
00:06:38,628 --> 00:06:41,135
I'm sorry, Dad, but the moon
walk's about to happen live

148
00:06:41,161 --> 00:06:42,783
and you're gonna make me miss it.

149
00:06:42,809 --> 00:06:45,242
Fine. We can watch the moon walk,

150
00:06:45,268 --> 00:06:47,680
but afterwards, we work on songs.

151
00:06:50,929 --> 00:06:52,678
How do we even know if this is real?

152
00:06:52,704 --> 00:06:54,879
You can't believe
everything you see on TV.

153
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,071
And how's the government have enough money
to send a bunch of white guys to the moon,

154
00:06:58,097 --> 00:07:00,625
but can't fix that
stoplight on 4th and Kent?

155
00:07:00,706 --> 00:07:02,499
How do we know who's in those suits?

156
00:07:02,525 --> 00:07:04,024
They probably switched
out the white astronauts

157
00:07:04,050 --> 00:07:06,063
with Black ones in case
something go wrong.

158
00:07:06,089 --> 00:07:07,352
You see, before Twitter,

159
00:07:07,378 --> 00:07:10,477
old men just had their sons
to yell crazy theories at.

160
00:07:10,503 --> 00:07:12,211
But if it is real,

161
00:07:12,237 --> 00:07:15,110
them cats are the baddest dudes around.

162
00:07:15,755 --> 00:07:17,895
You can't give up and still
make it to the moon.

163
00:07:17,921 --> 00:07:20,117
Dad couldn't help but be inspired,

164
00:07:20,143 --> 00:07:23,735
just like I was inspired to
take my own "Giant Step."

165
00:07:23,858 --> 00:07:26,141
Tomorrow, I'm gonna sneak
out while Dad's gone

166
00:07:26,167 --> 00:07:28,344
and explore New York
and make new friends.

167
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:29,946
And if I get caught,
well, at least I know

168
00:07:29,972 --> 00:07:31,813
I can run away and live on the moon.

169
00:07:31,914 --> 00:07:34,625
Let's see Daddy try to
whup me from there.

170
00:07:34,961 --> 00:07:38,071
We're just going to Tuscaloosa
and coming right back.

171
00:07:38,097 --> 00:07:39,500
We know.

172
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:41,836
Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

173
00:07:42,821 --> 00:07:45,289
I am, but we don't have time.

174
00:07:45,315 --> 00:07:46,532
Plus, it's dark.

175
00:07:46,558 --> 00:07:48,227
Girl, those plums look ripe.

176
00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:49,641
We could make wine with them.

177
00:07:49,667 --> 00:07:51,196
- Yeah!
- Kim.

178
00:07:52,851 --> 00:07:54,888
Are you sure we're allowed to do this?

179
00:07:55,282 --> 00:07:58,477
Me and your mama used to do
this all the time growing up.

180
00:07:58,503 --> 00:08:03,439
So, how do you know this
"friend" we're going to see?

181
00:08:03,695 --> 00:08:04,834
From around.

182
00:08:04,946 --> 00:08:06,154
Around where?

183
00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:07,907
Around where we was.

184
00:08:07,933 --> 00:08:09,555
What's with all the questions?

185
00:08:09,581 --> 00:08:11,375
You should hear the
questions I have to answer

186
00:08:11,401 --> 00:08:13,938
about what I was wearing
to a political rally.

187
00:08:13,964 --> 00:08:16,352
She was the same way with me.

188
00:08:16,378 --> 00:08:19,633
Y'all two ain't gonna be ganging
up on me out here picking plums.

189
00:08:19,659 --> 00:08:21,133
Oh. Oh. "Ain't"?

190
00:08:21,274 --> 00:08:23,711
When the grammar goes, you
know she's about to pop.

191
00:08:23,737 --> 00:08:26,336
One time, she actually cussed.

192
00:08:26,362 --> 00:08:27,805
Hush your mouth!

193
00:08:27,831 --> 00:08:29,177
You can tease all you want,

194
00:08:29,203 --> 00:08:33,031
but there is never an excuse
for improper language.

195
00:08:44,448 --> 00:08:46,550
There was nothing scarier to us

196
00:08:46,576 --> 00:08:49,363
than the angry face of a
white police officer.

197
00:08:50,417 --> 00:08:52,425
Unless, of course, it was the angry face

198
00:08:52,451 --> 00:08:54,074
of a black police officer.

199
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:57,316
You see, black officers couldn't
really arrest white people,

200
00:08:57,342 --> 00:08:59,667
so when we ran afoul of a black officer,

201
00:08:59,693 --> 00:09:02,683
he might be very eager
to assert his authority.

202
00:09:02,709 --> 00:09:05,480
- 'Nuff said.
- We'll put the plums back on the tree.

203
00:09:05,506 --> 00:09:08,183
Jackie, let me do the talking.

204
00:09:09,329 --> 00:09:11,433
Hello, Officer.

205
00:09:11,726 --> 00:09:15,937
My name is Lillian Williams
and I'm from Montgomery,

206
00:09:15,963 --> 00:09:18,292
and I work for the state, just like you.

207
00:09:18,318 --> 00:09:20,774
Y'all have some "House
Negro" code or something?

208
00:09:20,807 --> 00:09:23,909
- Shut up.
- No. Let me handle this.

209
00:09:25,021 --> 00:09:27,300
Did you know that this vehicle's
been reported stolen?

210
00:09:27,326 --> 00:09:29,225
This is my boyfriend Keith's car.

211
00:09:29,378 --> 00:09:32,183
You would have a boyfriend
who steals cars.

212
00:09:32,209 --> 00:09:35,005
Keith Freeman is the person
who reported it stolen.

213
00:09:35,112 --> 00:09:37,699
Jackie, you stole this car
from your boyfriend?!

214
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:39,081
What?

215
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:43,680
I mean, yes, fine, we had a fight.

216
00:09:43,706 --> 00:09:46,868
I caught him cheating and I
wanted to teach him a lesson.

217
00:09:46,894 --> 00:09:48,018
Jackie.

218
00:09:48,044 --> 00:09:50,245
I mean, that's why I
wanted to go see my friend

219
00:09:50,271 --> 00:09:52,089
Toby Jenkins play tonight.

220
00:09:52,115 --> 00:09:54,628
I mean, what's good for the
goose is good for the gander.

221
00:09:54,654 --> 00:09:57,339
Wait, you guys on your way
to see Sweet Tea Jenkins?

222
00:09:57,365 --> 00:09:59,365
That's gonna be a good show.

223
00:09:59,391 --> 00:10:01,261
I'm on my way there, too.

224
00:10:02,189 --> 00:10:04,550
As soon as I take you
guys in to the station.

225
00:10:10,831 --> 00:10:14,191
I snuck out of the apartment as
soon as Daddy left for work.

226
00:10:16,641 --> 00:10:19,066
I'd finally ventured out into the city.

227
00:10:19,092 --> 00:10:22,372
The sights, the sounds, the smells!

228
00:10:22,504 --> 00:10:24,964
In Alabama, when someone
says "street food,"

229
00:10:24,990 --> 00:10:26,620
they usually mean roadkill,

230
00:10:26,646 --> 00:10:29,761
and it didn't smell anywhere
near as good as this.

231
00:10:32,651 --> 00:10:34,640
Yeah, I didn't know what that was about,

232
00:10:34,666 --> 00:10:36,644
but I was in New York, baby!

233
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,823
Hi, my name's Dean.

234
00:10:38,849 --> 00:10:40,472
Where'd you get them shoes?

235
00:10:40,733 --> 00:10:41,987
Can you fight?

236
00:10:45,066 --> 00:10:48,371
I couldn't fight, but I'm pretty
sure I deafened them with my scream

237
00:10:48,406 --> 00:10:50,542
as they stole my shoes and belt.

238
00:10:52,906 --> 00:10:54,027
Damn it!

239
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:56,425
I forgot I hid my key in my shoe.

240
00:10:56,956 --> 00:10:58,889
Houston, we have a problem.

241
00:10:58,915 --> 00:11:00,744
Daddy.

242
00:11:02,163 --> 00:11:04,074
Got yourself locked out, didn't you?

243
00:11:04,659 --> 00:11:06,159
The guy in the dress.

244
00:11:06,185 --> 00:11:08,429
Dad had told me not to
stare, but he also told me

245
00:11:08,455 --> 00:11:11,034
to always look adults in the
eye when I spoke to them.

246
00:11:11,060 --> 00:11:12,816
You got me in the spin cycle, Dad.

247
00:11:12,917 --> 00:11:15,262
Yeah. I must've left my key inside.

248
00:11:15,761 --> 00:11:17,636
You don't sound like
you're from around here.

249
00:11:17,662 --> 00:11:19,284
I'm from Alabama.

250
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:21,386
Montgomery. It's the capital.

251
00:11:21,412 --> 00:11:24,316
Child, I know where Montgomery is.
I'm from Union Springs.

252
00:11:24,342 --> 00:11:25,589
Oh, you're from the country.

253
00:11:25,615 --> 00:11:27,626
Says the boy sitting
outside with no shoes on.

254
00:11:27,652 --> 00:11:28,626
Touché.

255
00:11:28,652 --> 00:11:30,313
- I'm Lonnie.
- I'm Dean.

256
00:11:30,339 --> 00:11:32,495
Well, Dean, you better hope your
daddy comes back before dark,

257
00:11:32,521 --> 00:11:34,956
because the rats start at the
feet and they work their way up.

258
00:11:48,955 --> 00:11:51,319
Three hours and two rats later...

259
00:11:55,504 --> 00:11:57,022
You still here?

260
00:11:57,699 --> 00:11:58,872
Yeah.

261
00:11:58,994 --> 00:12:00,483
Aren't you brave.

262
00:12:08,964 --> 00:12:10,147
You hungry?

263
00:12:11,444 --> 00:12:15,701
I bet it's been a while since you've
had some good, Southern cooking, huh?

264
00:12:16,363 --> 00:12:18,366
- Maybe a little.
- Yeah?

265
00:12:18,950 --> 00:12:22,428
Lucky for you, I made
too much for just me.

266
00:12:28,217 --> 00:12:31,014
Oh, look at this. I got
some slippers in here, too.

267
00:12:35,540 --> 00:12:38,850
I guess I'll just sit
here till you finish.

268
00:12:39,715 --> 00:12:41,811
Get my plate back, of course.

269
00:12:42,013 --> 00:12:43,998
Where's your dress, sweetheart?

270
00:12:44,024 --> 00:12:45,467
Did you run out of lipstick?

271
00:12:45,493 --> 00:12:46,959
I felt bad for him.

272
00:12:46,985 --> 00:12:49,420
Lord knows I knew what it
was like to be teased.

273
00:12:49,446 --> 00:12:50,670
Should I say something?

274
00:12:50,696 --> 00:12:53,475
- Should I tell him just to ignore the...
- Get back here, you little punks!

275
00:12:55,740 --> 00:12:57,592
Nope. He got this.

276
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,553
Give me a slipper.

277
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:00,983
Give me a slipper!

278
00:13:09,975 --> 00:13:11,920
Spending all night in jail.

279
00:13:11,946 --> 00:13:14,742
This is a new low, even for you, Jackie.

280
00:13:21,607 --> 00:13:23,644
I'm afraid we have to
impound the vehicle.

281
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:25,839
Now, the release paperwork
may take a little while

282
00:13:25,874 --> 00:13:29,049
since two of you have previous
arrests on your records.

283
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,951
- Two of us?
- Two of us?

284
00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:34,192
Well, ain't nobody surprised
I've been arrested before.

285
00:13:34,227 --> 00:13:35,987
And I haven't been.

286
00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:39,709
Damn it. I thought they got it expunged.

287
00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:41,100
Lillian!

288
00:13:41,981 --> 00:13:44,201
It was... I was...

289
00:13:44,451 --> 00:13:47,014
I was in college, so it barely counts.

290
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,451
Before I go to college, can
I get that in writing?

291
00:13:49,587 --> 00:13:51,631
After all these years of making me feel

292
00:13:51,657 --> 00:13:53,834
like the black sheep of the family.

293
00:13:54,521 --> 00:13:57,069
Well, first of all, I
never called you that.

294
00:13:57,095 --> 00:13:59,147
- Might as well have.
- So, what did you do?

295
00:13:59,183 --> 00:14:01,584
Sit-in? Campus protest?

296
00:14:01,644 --> 00:14:03,037
Freedom Rider?

297
00:14:03,842 --> 00:14:06,292
A bunch of us ran across
The Yard, butt naked,

298
00:14:06,318 --> 00:14:09,061
right in front of a statue of Booker T.
Washington.

299
00:14:12,784 --> 00:14:15,733
I was pledging. It was a sorority prank.

300
00:14:16,786 --> 00:14:18,178
Don't laugh.

301
00:14:18,204 --> 00:14:19,858
I was terrified.

302
00:14:19,884 --> 00:14:22,541
They put us in handcuffs and everything.

303
00:14:23,084 --> 00:14:25,350
I thought I was gonna
end up on a chain gang

304
00:14:25,376 --> 00:14:27,662
married to a woman like Moms Mabley.

305
00:14:30,882 --> 00:14:34,319
"Perfect" Lillian is an ex-con?

306
00:14:36,370 --> 00:14:38,787
Well, I'm not an ex-con,

307
00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:42,061
but I'm certainly not perfect either.

308
00:14:42,162 --> 00:14:44,522
I guess we're not so
different like I thought,

309
00:14:44,548 --> 00:14:46,530
after all these years.

310
00:14:49,177 --> 00:14:52,244
Kim Williams, your paperwork's done.

311
00:14:52,270 --> 00:14:53,569
You can leave now.

312
00:14:53,595 --> 00:14:55,208
I'll see y'all at home.

313
00:14:56,321 --> 00:14:58,819
- You're just gonna leave?
- How are you gonna get there?

314
00:14:58,845 --> 00:15:01,319
I'll hitch a ride with
the nice police officer.

315
00:15:01,345 --> 00:15:04,178
Please get me out of here
with these criminals.

316
00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:15,376
Dean, what are you doing outside?

317
00:15:15,402 --> 00:15:17,337
Hey, Dad. This is Lonnie.

318
00:15:17,363 --> 00:15:20,957
I locked myself out, so he stayed out
here with me until you got home.

319
00:15:21,205 --> 00:15:22,753
Much appreciation.

320
00:15:22,779 --> 00:15:24,043
Name's Bill.

321
00:15:24,371 --> 00:15:25,515
You look familiar.

322
00:15:25,541 --> 00:15:28,924
We actually bumped into each other earlier
when I was on my way back from rehearsal...

323
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,277
dressed for my show in the Village.

324
00:15:31,493 --> 00:15:33,707
Right. The Village.

325
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:36,660
I didn't really know what my
dad and Lonnie weren't saying.

326
00:15:36,686 --> 00:15:39,102
I was just happy to have met
somebody from back home.

327
00:15:39,128 --> 00:15:41,717
Plus, my toes were in
fuzzy cotton heaven.

328
00:15:41,743 --> 00:15:43,355
And were you auditioning for his show?

329
00:15:43,381 --> 00:15:46,281
Oh, some kids robbed me, so
Lonnie let me wear these.

330
00:15:46,307 --> 00:15:49,660
Hey, he's been robbed. Now
he's a real New Yorker.

331
00:15:49,726 --> 00:15:51,417
Well, thanks again.

332
00:15:51,443 --> 00:15:55,074
Dean, give Lonnie back his wardrobe
and say "thank you." Let's go.

333
00:15:55,183 --> 00:15:57,887
Bill, can I offer you some dinner?

334
00:15:57,913 --> 00:16:00,597
Oh, I don't know about... What's that?

335
00:16:00,909 --> 00:16:03,532
- Ox tail?
- Tastes just like Mama's.

336
00:16:03,573 --> 00:16:05,501
No pressure. I'm sure you
guys got a refrigerator

337
00:16:05,527 --> 00:16:07,481
full of good old "down home" food.

338
00:16:07,507 --> 00:16:10,480
Well, we got bologna and potatoes.

339
00:16:10,555 --> 00:16:13,301
We probably shouldn't be rude.

340
00:16:13,582 --> 00:16:15,189
I'll take you up on the offer.

341
00:16:15,215 --> 00:16:17,738
Then it's settled. Come on up.

342
00:16:20,535 --> 00:16:24,707
Stop it. Your grandmother did not
live on Bibb Street in Tuskegee.

343
00:16:24,733 --> 00:16:26,562
My dad's grandmother
lived on Bibb Street.

344
00:16:26,588 --> 00:16:30,324
Yeah, I'm telling you, the house was so
tiny, the front door was the back door.

345
00:16:35,285 --> 00:16:38,473
Well, maybe we're cousins
somewhere down the line.

346
00:16:38,499 --> 00:16:39,863
It is a small world.

347
00:16:39,889 --> 00:16:42,355
Well, my grandmother's
dead, so we'll never know.

348
00:16:42,855 --> 00:16:44,168
She's dead...

349
00:16:44,387 --> 00:16:47,238
Well, you two are both
performers from Alabama.

350
00:16:47,264 --> 00:16:49,215
I'm surprised you haven't
heard of each other.

351
00:16:50,873 --> 00:16:53,841
Yeah, we probably wouldn't
have played the same places.

352
00:16:56,121 --> 00:16:59,418
Maybe Lonnie can give you some tips, since
he's used to performing in New York.

353
00:16:59,444 --> 00:17:01,754
I'd love to give you some tips.
Only if you want them.

354
00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:04,035
Well, my dad's been trying to
sell a song to Marvin Gaye,

355
00:17:04,061 --> 00:17:05,926
- but he's not good.
- Dean.

356
00:17:05,952 --> 00:17:07,317
Tell him about the songs in the trash.

357
00:17:07,343 --> 00:17:09,176
- Dean.
- Don't be embarrassed.

358
00:17:09,202 --> 00:17:13,859
When I first got to New York, I searched for what
felt like forever for what my act was gonna be.

359
00:17:13,885 --> 00:17:17,246
No one wanted to hear Lonnie
Edmonds' beat poetry about politics,

360
00:17:17,272 --> 00:17:20,879
but they loved hearing "Sybil
Disobedience" lip-sync about it.

361
00:17:20,905 --> 00:17:23,902
Sybil Disobedience. I
see what you did there.

362
00:17:24,029 --> 00:17:26,246
Well, it's... it's nothing, really.

363
00:17:26,272 --> 00:17:29,910
I just gotta figure out a way to tap into
a different groove than I'm used to.

364
00:17:30,293 --> 00:17:32,269
I got something I want you to try.

365
00:17:32,781 --> 00:17:35,488
White folks call it "primal screaming."

366
00:17:36,131 --> 00:17:39,801
It's supposed to tap into stuff
your conscious mind pushed away.

367
00:17:39,940 --> 00:17:41,497
All you gotta do

368
00:17:41,637 --> 00:17:44,270
is scream as loud as you
can from deep inside.

369
00:17:44,296 --> 00:17:46,825
You want my dad to scream? Just
tell him you lost a nickel.

370
00:17:46,851 --> 00:17:49,114
You want me to scream? In your kitchen?

371
00:17:49,140 --> 00:17:50,192
Yeah.

372
00:17:50,353 --> 00:17:51,734
Look, I'll do it with you.

373
00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:55,715
One, two, three.

374
00:18:11,754 --> 00:18:13,575
I think I just felt something.

375
00:18:18,864 --> 00:18:21,768
I was actually screaming
because I saw a roach so big,

376
00:18:21,794 --> 00:18:23,482
it should have been paying rent.

377
00:18:23,508 --> 00:18:25,802
But I'm glad this was helping Daddy.

378
00:18:33,355 --> 00:18:34,726
Yeah.

379
00:18:35,663 --> 00:18:37,010
Yeah, this is good.

380
00:18:37,036 --> 00:18:38,719
- Right?
- Yeah, this is good, man.

381
00:18:38,745 --> 00:18:40,816
It's good. But there's something
else I want you to try.

382
00:18:40,842 --> 00:18:42,164
Come into my bedroom.

383
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:45,516
Where my clothes are.

384
00:18:47,236 --> 00:18:48,508
Right.

385
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,376
? That's how we do it down South?

386
00:18:56,891 --> 00:19:01,205
? Speak your mind,
say how you feel?

387
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:06,111
? Take off your cool, baby,
just keep it real?

388
00:19:06,509 --> 00:19:08,684
? Sing something true?

389
00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:11,525
? Sing it out loud?

390
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,751
? That's how we do it
down South?

391
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:18,439
Okay. Not bad. Not bad at all.

392
00:19:18,465 --> 00:19:20,226
It's called "Southern Hospitality,"

393
00:19:20,252 --> 00:19:23,118
'cause that's how we do it in Alabama.

394
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,087
I don't believe we've met.

395
00:19:30,113 --> 00:19:32,548
- Marvin.
- Bill.

396
00:19:32,790 --> 00:19:35,484
I was just playing these cats a
song I wrote especially for you.

397
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:38,048
Well, let me hear what you got, man.

398
00:19:38,257 --> 00:19:39,782
All right.

399
00:19:43,595 --> 00:19:45,751
His new look was temporary, of course,

400
00:19:45,777 --> 00:19:47,728
but the success wasn't.

401
00:19:47,754 --> 00:19:50,556
Dad sold "Southern
Hospitality" to Marvin Gaye,

402
00:19:50,582 --> 00:19:52,855
and the floodgates opened from there.

403
00:19:52,881 --> 00:19:56,251
Oh, there he is. The big guy.

404
00:19:56,866 --> 00:20:00,611
After that, "Alabama" took on a
different meeting in the studio.

405
00:20:06,657 --> 00:20:10,288
I'd accomplished my goal of
making a friend in New York City,

406
00:20:10,314 --> 00:20:12,470
but not
in the way I'd expected.

407
00:20:12,790 --> 00:20:15,790
I taught Lonnie everything I
knew about the Apollo missions,

408
00:20:15,816 --> 00:20:19,111
and he introduced me to New York
things like Broadway shows.

409
00:20:19,137 --> 00:20:21,686
Well, off-off-Broadway, mainly.

410
00:20:21,712 --> 00:20:23,473
And when his piano player got sick,

411
00:20:23,499 --> 00:20:25,782
Daddy even filled in at his show.

412
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:29,376
Now, I was grown before I understood

413
00:20:29,402 --> 00:20:31,437
why Lonnie had to move
all the way to New York

414
00:20:31,471 --> 00:20:33,751
before he could finally be himself,

415
00:20:33,777 --> 00:20:36,642
but meeting him helped
me enjoy my time there.

416
00:20:36,668 --> 00:20:39,189
He and Daddy fell out
of touch after a while,

417
00:20:39,215 --> 00:20:42,720
but I hope one day Lonnie was able
to finally go back to Alabama,

418
00:20:42,746 --> 00:20:44,650
boa and all.

419
00:20:46,857 --> 00:20:49,166
I'd have to say, it was
the best summer ever.

420
00:20:49,192 --> 00:20:51,533
Now, that's how we do it.

421
00:20:52,151 --> 00:20:54,881
But Daddy could tell it was time
to pack our bags and go home.

422
00:20:54,907 --> 00:20:57,486
Dean, pack your bags. We're going home.

423
00:20:59,210 --> 00:21:01,877
Houston, we're coming home.

424
00:21:02,066 --> 00:21:04,057
Boy, stop talking to
yourself and let's go!

425
00:21:04,083 --> 00:21:05,157
Sorry!

426
00:21:05,244 --> 00:21:12,294
