(mama has her eyes closed and is rocking back and forth as though she were in church, with her head nodding the amen yes) we don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no causes, and we will try to be good neighbors. and that's all we got to say about that. (he looks the man absolutely in the eyes) we don't want your money. (he turns and walks away)

lindner (folding up his materials) well β€” if you are that final about it . . there is nothing left for me to say. (he finishes, almost ignored by the family, who are concentrating on walter lee. at the door lindner halts and looks around) i sure hope you people know what you're getting into.
