Stupid waste of time

if you ask me.

Well, nobody asked you,

did they?

I think it's beautiful.

that's a good idea.

She wants you to come inside,

so she can show you her room.

I think you should ask

your grandma first.

I'll wait here.

She don't like white people

in her house.

Nah, I'm just playing.

Hello?

Macon.

Macon!

Macon, I told you

not to come into my house!

What?

We're gonna have

to have a talk, boy!

Come on.

Come walk with me.

Hold up a sec.

What were you just doing?

You were in Tee's house.

Oh, man.

Where you gonna walk, fool?

I'll get you back.

Just keep walking.

No, man.

I want to know.

What were you just doing?

Nothing.

You're hiding something.

You're the po-po.

Nope.

FBI.

This is ridiculous.

I'm just a friend of Joe's.

No, I'm not buying that.

Give it to me straight,

or I'm telling Joe

you're up to something.

All right, I'll play along.

Name your price.

What?

I seen how you play.

You want something from me?

Then name your price.

Double what was

in the grocery bag,

a case of Coke, three bags of

Snickers, and a roll of quarters.

Is that all, Macon?

The horse!

And you better take Keisha

to see that horse.

And I swear, if you do one more

crazy thing, I'm telling Joe.

And I can promise you that.

Oh, you made a promise.

Come on.

I'll be fine.

I'll see you soon.

You've reached

Detective Miller.

Please leave a message.

Detective Miller, this is

Samantha Crawford.

I need you to run a name

for me, Anthony Jones.

I know you think I'm crazy, but

just run the name and call me back.

When did it happen?

about the horse and the farm?

Oh.

Absolutely.

Attention,

ladies and gentlemen.

Out of the graciousness

of her heart,

Miss Sam has invited all of us

on a field trip to her farm.

It's looking better,

and I'm loving the weather

Things are coming together

Now I'm smiling again

Hope is the reason

There's a change

in the seasons

And if we keep believin'

We'll be smiling again

It's the first day of

the best days of our lives

How's everybody

doing back there?

All because hope

saved my life

I survived

And now I'm living

and giving, too

Show me the way

This is the first day

of the best days of my life

You ready?

Come on.

You know they have

a special gift, don't you?

Would you like

to know what it is?

You can tell them

all your secrets,

and they'll

always keep them safe.

Cricket knows all of mine,

the happy ones, the sad ones.

And she's never told a soul.

You can tell her anything,

and it'll always be safe.

Come on, man!

You have to see this!

Okay, Macon.

I'll be right there.

There's a cow!

That's a cow!

Now, what you want to do is...

Seen this on TV

a million times.

See, all you need to do is grab

one of these things and pull.

Come here!

You don't see it, do you?

See what?

Come on, now.

Ooh, dang!

Ooh, man?

What is that trash?

Kids, guys,

I'd prefer if you didn't

play with this stuff.

I'm sorry.

Miss Sam's right, y'all.

This is, uh, real

special stuff right here.

This girl's country music

helped save my life once.

Say what?

That's right, back

when I was in prison.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I got to hear about this.

Y'all don't want

to hear about that.

Yes, we would.

Well, now,

the first thing

you learn in prison

is to always mind

your own business.

Keep on walking, young buck.

No, sir. I think I'll

be fine just right here.

We got rules here.

That's why you gotta move it.

Now, scat before I get angry.

You gonna eat that cornbread?

Take a walk, old man.

You talking to me, Tubby?

Yes, sir, I was just leaving.

You're new here,

so I'm gonna let you off

with a warning.

Stay with your own kind, sheep,

or Big Mack gonna have

to put his hands on somebody.

Mop that floor

like you was taught to do!

I can't listen

to this trash no more.

I mean, can't a brother

get some r-e-s-p-e-c-t

up in here or somethin'?

Shut up and mop.

Hey!

You missed a spot.

Make him clean it up!

I can't take this.

Take that, crackers.

Yeah, whoo!

It's free time.

What are we gonna do, man?

If we live through this,

remind me to kill you later.

Yeah.

Oh, there's just somethin'

About the way

it's lookin' around here

This old place

ain't what it used to be

So I'll pack up my guitar

Won't you forgive me,

sweetheart?

You won't be hearing

nothin' more from me

Darlin', I have to hitch

my way to Georgia

Gonna have to go away

Darlin', I hopped a train

to California

Darlin', I'm breakin'

out of here today

And I've cast off

these shackles

And give myself

another world away

I'm breakin' out of here

You know any Hank Williams?

Know 'em all.

Which one we doin'?

That's enough.

Back in your cells.

We know 'em, too!

We know 'em, too.

and most of my other friends

used to listen to.

I mean, I must've heard

that tune a thousand times.

When I think about it,

Miss Sam done saved

my life twice now.

Mm-hmm.

What is that?

Okay.

All right,

we about to blow it up now.

Oh, man.

Y'all ready for this?

No!

No!

So you ran the name?

Didn't have to.

Your boy was one

of our original suspects,

but he has an alibi.

He was with his cousin

that night.

But I'm telling you, I saw...

I don't really care what

you saw, Miss Crawford.

I care about evidence.

Unfortunately, I can't make arrests

based on your gut feelings.

Just stay out of The Commons.

Nothing good is gonna come out of

whatever it is you're doing down there.

Don't call me about this again.

You hear me?

You're on your own.

What an honor it is

to be here tonight.

I'm still not certain

how a children's author

received such

a prestigious award

for giving away a few books.

Everyone here seeks to make

a difference in this world.

My husband Billy

would have been

right at home with all of you.

Tonight, I'd like

to share Billy's idea

about changing the world

with love.

The $2.00 bill,

it came to be

Billy's symbol of love.

There are millions in print,

more than enough to go around,

but they're hardly ever seen.

People hoard them

or they hide them away.

Billy would always say there's

enough love to go around.

You just got to share it.

Then he got this crazy idea,

and he started giving away

$2.00 bills

to perfect strangers.

It was his way, uh...

I'm so sorry. Thank you.

where you hide out.

Wow, what is all this?

This is my life.

All these yours?

Yeah.

Hey, there's that little bird

you were always drawing.

Did you write that book?

No, I gave up on it.

Why?

Well, I didn't

believe in it anymore.

What happened, Sam?

Where is that hopeful

little girl I used to know?

All right, you buckaroos,

time to pack up and

head back to the house.

Oh, yeah, you heard me.

Come on now.

Let's go.

Hey, old man.

Hey.

You do your dialysis today?

No.

I will.

I promise.

Me and Brett

got the kids tonight.

She needs you.

But you owe me one.

Owe you?

What you mean?

Like what?

I don't know.

I'm sure you'll

think of something.
