What is it you want?

I got a real bad need to talk with Thump.

And he ain't got no need to talk to you.

But I need to.

I really, I really, really got to, ma'am, please.

Some of our blood at least is the same.

Ain't that supposed to mean something?

Ain't that what is always said?

Ain't you got no men could do this?

No, ma'am, I don't.

You go wait in the yard somewhere by that coop,

and I'll tell Thump you're here.

Thanks.

Come on, already.

He ain't likely to have time for you, child.

I've got to talk to him.

If he don't know, nobody does.

Nope.

Talking just causes witnesses, and he don't want for any of those.

I'll wait.
