- Mm.
- and Florida.

He wants to find out what
happened to them

- much as you do.
- Yeah?

Yeah, well, maybe he should've
asked for some help, huh?

You know, instead of
kicking us out of town.

- You should've left!
- I will leave

when I find Florida.

Not that you give a damn about her.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

My father d*ed in prison.

Did you know that, Collins?

When I was .

He k*lled a man for
stealing tools out of our shed.

A black man.

It's no excuse, just...

Just get off your g*dd*mn high horse

for once in your life, Collins.

BACON: Sneed's right.

[HAP GRUNTS]
You should've left.

- Yeah.
- Now look at yourself, Hap.

[EXHALES SLOWLY]

You saw what they did
to Leonard out there.

All that damn time,

during the ' s,
when we was protestin'...

Look where it got us.
g*dd*mn nowhere.

[SIGHS] What'd you think,

painting them pictures
and smoking all that pot,

think you'd change things around here?

Yeah. Why not?

I wasn't doing it for myself.

You sure about that?
