you got your hand in the lion's mouth,
it's better just to pat him on the head.
Mr. Thompson's all right. He didn't
mean nothin' by that. But I tell you,
Mrs. Thompson's mother almost got
a plate of rolls busted upside her head.
- Ooh, and on Christmas Day.
- Mm-hmm.
- Lord, spare that woman's soul.
- Mmm.
I know you got to work here,
but if she said that to me,
I'd have thrown those rolls down
and given her my apron,
told her the next time I serve her is
the day after she walks to my house
- and cooks my Christmas dinner.
- Go ahead, girl.
But I tell you, see, I sit up there and let
her call me a lazy n*gger, and I'll walk.
I'd walk until I
got no legs left
if I thought it was gonna give my
children a better shot in the world.
You work so hard, have some
woman say what that woman said,
and make you wonder who gonna
be sittin' in the backseat in heaven.
- And on Christmas Day.
- Mm-hmm.
- See you tomorrow, girl.
- Okay.
I ain't takin' that.
Listen, I gotta go. All right.
Bye. See you.
Merry Christmas.
Y'all ain't gonna make me
late for Christmas service.
We ain't goin' nowhere
without Theodore.
Besides, you don't look
like you're dressed yet.
What are you
talkin' about?
Mama, you just
don't look ready.
Theodore! See if you can find something
in there for your mama to wear.
Has everybody
gone crazy?
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas, Mama.
- Merry Christmas, Mom.
Open 'em.
I don't know
how you did this.
I don't know how
I did it either.
Well, you know, ain't...
they ain't gonna wait for us over at
the church now. Come on, y'all. Here.
Mm-hmm.
Well, come on.
Mama's gonna find out she's been
hoggin' that phone and tan her hide.
I gotta go to the shed. Get them lights
straight before I get back here.
Well, yeah, I could get
there if I wanted to.
Yeah. Why not? Stop!
Get away, stupid.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
All right. Hold on.
Yeah, I can get there.
Yeah, I got a way.
I'm hangin' up the phone,
all right? All right?
Okay.
Bye.
Shoot.
Everybody's lost their minds.
- Where's Selma? - She went down
to Leticia's for some hot chocolate.
Did Leticia call?
What you got
behind your back?
- Nothin'.
- What is it?
It's just somethin'.
Stop!
Let's see. About worth a sh*t.
Open your hand before I break it!
Did Selma give you
that quarter?
I can't say.
You hurt my arm.
Damn!
- I don't want no trouble.
- I'm just riding the bus, sir.
I ain't caused no trouble. I don't
want any trouble. You understand?
- Yes, sir.
- Okay.
Selma.
Damn!
I don't care if God himself
comes down and asks.
You don't tell nobody
that Selma and I left.
I know.
Kickin' us out of class.
- My dad is not gonna care.
- It's his fault, not ours.
- I know it's his fault.
- Huh.
- His dad won't care.
- Never does.
- My dad will.
- Hey. We got a n*gger on the bus.
She must be
from out of town.
She must be.
- Hey. Hey. Do you wanna
have some fun? - Yeah.
We're gonna have some fun.
Have some fun.
She's kinda cute too.
Yeah, for a n*gger.
Go on.
You from out of town?
He asked you a question.
No, I'm not
from out of town.
You call him "sir. "
Sir.
Hey, in case you hadn't heard,
n*ggers quit ridin' the bus around here.
Or ain't you a n*gger, girl?
Say
"I'm a n*gger, sir. "
- Say it! - Y'all are gonna have
to sit down back there.
This girl is sittin'
where I wanna sit.
She's supposed to be
at the back of the bus.
All right. You three,
get off the bus... right now.
I said, now, or I'll call the police
and have you thrown in jail.
You think I won't do it?
You think I won't do it?
Old fart.
back on my bus again.
I'll call your daddy.
Damn fools.
to ride our bus!
Your water's
in the ditch, n*gger.
- Mommy.
- Never mind. Come on.
Catch that n*gger!
Come on back, n*gger!
What do you want?
What did I do wrong?
- Why'd you run, n*gger b*tch?
- Get away from me.
Get away!
Don't talk that way
to me, n*gger.
Leave my sister alone!
Why'd you push me,
n*gger?
- Hit him!
- No!
No!
Go down, n*gger!
Hey! If you wanna
hit someone, hit me!
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
get you hurt. - I'm not hurt.
Get his ass in the car. Let me take
you home before I get lynched.
- I didn't wanna fall.
- You stood long enough.
Hello.
My God. What happened
to your face?
It's my fault.
I tried to ride the bus, and Theo got
beat up by some white boys 'cause of it.
You tried to ride the bus?
Is that what you're tellin' me?
You tried to ride the bus,
and that's why his face looks like that?
What's wrong with you?
Wash your face, Selma.
Get Theo cleaned up here.
If you own a car, but you must
be at work during the day,
we have fine young men
who can drive your cars,
allowing you to still
contribute to the boycott.
And now the choir will sing
"We're Marching to Zion. "
Those of you who can help
us with the carpooling,
come forward during
the singing of this song.

I'm sorry I'm late.
I just had this stuff to
take care of downtown,
and I didn't see any sense in
making the trip out here twice.
I've got this club luncheon, which means
I have to go to the beauty parlor...
as soon as I get back, and then I have
this Junior League thing this afternoon.
- Now, what is he doing?
- Oh, they're tryin' to break the boycott.
They just follow behind people
and try to give 'em tickets.
You just drive nice and slow, Mrs. Thompson.
He'll go back to the lot.
Is that the big
boycott carpool stop?
Oh, yes, ma'am,
I believe it is.
Is that woman drivin'
for the carpools?
Well, I don't know if she is,
but I know there's a lot of women
from the air force
