Remmick
You fellers must be the owners of this establishment.
Smoke
That's right. And you are?
Remmick
Name's Remmick. This here's Joan and Bert.
Sammie
Hey Stack, y'all alright?
Remmick
Aww, and you... must be that voice I heard from out here. Aw, it was beautiful.
Joan
God damn bee-yew-tiful voice.
Bert
Even through these walls.
Smoke
Where y'all from?
Joan
Just down the road.
Stack
And how far is that?
Remmick
North Carolina.
Smoke
Y'all Klan?
Remmick
[offended]
Sir... w-we believe in equality and music. We just came here to play. Spend some money, have a good time. Here, I'll show you.
Smoke
[Remmick, Joan, and Bert play "Picked Poor Robin Clean" on the banjo. The others watch in confusion, though Stack chuckles and nods along a bit.] [stopping the music after a bit]
Hold on hold on, just a minute.
Remmick
Aw, its just about to get good.
Smoke
Nah I believe ya. But this here a juke joint.
Stack
Blues music.
Bert
Well we've got money and we ready to spend it with y'all.
Remmick
Soundin' damn near perfect and you're saying we ain't welcome.
Smoke
Nah I'm saying you get down that road and get back into town. Plenty of white barrel houses down there.
Remmick
[chuckles]
Aw this- this cuz we're... [gestures to skin] Alright. [Points at Mary] How'd she get in?
Mary
Now that is none-
Annie
[interrupting]
She here cuz she family.
Remmick
Family... [sighs] Can- can we just, for one night, just all be family? [he steps forward, and Smoke reaches for his gun] Y-you don't need to do that, sir. We'll be on our way. But we're gonna walk real slow, just in case y'all change your mind.
[Mary applauds Remmick, Bert, and Joan after they play "Lassie Go.]
"
Remmick
You looking for some fresh air, or...
Mary
I just come to see if y'all was good people.
Remmick
Aw darlin' that's so sweet of you.
Joan
So sweet.
Remmick
We most surely are
Mary
[sitting next to him]
And y'all got money to spend?
Remmick
Oh yeah, plenty money. You wanna see?
Mary
Yeah, I wanna see. [Bert hands her some gold] What type of money is this?
Remmick
The solid gold kind, darlin'. Yeah.
Mary
Where's this from?
Remmick
It's from a different place in a different time. But it spends just the same. You can have it. But it's no good to you.
Joan
It's no good to her...
Bert
[shaking his head]
Mmm-mm.
Mary
Well, what makes you say that?
Remmick
Cuz you in some deep, deep pain that money can't fix. Am I right? [Mary looks at him] You came over here for fellowship and love.
Joan
Fellowship and love...
Mary
My mother... she just passed.
Remmick
Aw that's awful. Ah...
Bert
Just awful.
Joan
Just awful... [touches Mary's shoulder]
Bert
Losin' a mother is a hurtin' feeling.
Remmick
Mhmm. Y'know I wish in my heart that we'd have met sooner. I would've liked to have saved your mother from her fate. I can still save you from yours.
Mary
Oh no you must have me confused. I'm sad is all, but I don't need no saving.
Remmick
[eyes now red with drool hanging from his mouth]
Yes... yes you do. You all do. [he looks at her neck and Mary quickly gets up and points a gun]
Mary
I'm gonna head back now, and I think y'all should too. Back to where we all came from. [as she walks away, Remmick levitates into the air, eyes glowing]
Sammie Moore
You're the devil, ain't you?
Remmick
Sammie! You're the one I came for. I sensed you. I want to see my people again, I'm trapped here. But your gifts can bring them to me. Y'all give them to me now. Just- just give me little Sammie. We'll let y'all live.
Smoke
[Sammie moves to the door, but Smoke and the others hold him back]
Hey, hey, easy.
Delta Slim
I'm gonna tell you something, you goddamn peckerwood. You can't have him. He belongs to us. He belongs with us! And I ain't gonna let that happen.
Remmick
You can't save him, Smoke - no more than you could save your brother.
Remmick
[Stack walks up to Club Juke, laughing and carrying Mary in his arms]
You ain't safe here. No matter how many guns or how much money, they gonna take it from you when they want. You built something here tonight, and it was beautiful. But it was built on a lie. Hogwood? Well, he's the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. [He points to Bert] That's his mother**** nephew! They was always gonna kill you - I just happened to show up at the right place at the right time.
Stack
He telling the truth, Smoke. I can see his memories.
Delta Slim
Smoke, that ain't your brother.
Stack
This wasn't no juke joint, no club. This is a... slaughterhouse.
Bert
It's a goddamn killing floor.
Joan
But what Uncle Hogwood don't know is we gonna start ourselves a new Klan based on love.
Remmick
Now that we got numbers, we'll probably go to that old bigot and rectify him, too.
Annie
Why can't y'all just go?
Mary
Because we're not leaving without y'all. We family. Ain't that right? I know it sound crazy, but... after we kill y'all, we're gonna have heaven right here on Earth!
