“尊敬的先生们：这是参考 我的诉讼号 2089，
在坎帕拉高等法院提起诉讼，
日期为 1985 年 12 月 30 日， 以恢复我的财产。”
我出生在乌干达， 乌干达一直是我的家，
我去过的国家 最大的忠诚和爱
直到我被强行
并被非法驱逐
由 ldi Amin 将军。
起诉一个疯狂国家的疯狂政府。
它会让你发疯。
五年了，他们没有回复，
但你继续像一张卡住的唱片。
Kinnu，这是一个新的政权。
我知道这是一个新制度。
所以呢？
- 每年都是新的。但没什么—— -[人] Kinnu，Mina出事了！
- 发生了什么事，贝塔？ - 你对我的车做了什么？
你对我的车做了什么，米娜？
有人受伤了吗？
全员平安无事。
- 这是怎么发生的？ - [Jay] 感谢上帝，没有人受伤。
发生的事情已经发生了。 为溢出的牛奶哭泣是没有用的。
谁来为此买单？ 钱是长在树上的吗？
也许在你肥沃的乌干达 它以前长在树上，但不是在这里。
养不起自己的家人， 还给我讲了关于溢出的牛奶的讲座。
我父亲可以很好地养活我们， 你——你这个混蛋。
- 你叫我什么？ - [Kinnu] 闭嘴。
我为什么要闭嘴？
嘿，伙计，我需要我的钱。四十块钱。
你们都需要这个来买保险。
[阿尼尔] 看，餐巾纸，
上周我什至得到了昌达的名字 车牌上。
Anil bhai，别再想车了。
Pontiac bhai，从谁的口袋里 这一切都会到来吗？
非常感谢。再见，再见。
你还有其他问题。
- 什么？ - 在这个国家，
他们只知道如何起诉。
你懂我吗？
你知道鞭打吗？
他会说，“当她撞到我的车时， 我的脖子有-。
我的脊椎永远受损。
所以我要起诉你 只需一百万美元。”
- 那你会怎么做？ - 嘿，庞蒂亚克，别吓唬他了。
阿尼尔，把那家伙的名片给我。
当然。
“你的污垢是我们的面包和黄油。”
这家伙擦我的地毯。
我也是。所以呢？
所以，我会修复它。不用担心。
餐巾纸，你跟他说话，嗯？请。
明天。现在，微笑。
我想看到你微笑。
这是你的婚礼，伙计。 来吧！享受！
- 好的？ - [咕噜声]
唔？

[说印地语]
[英语] 我知道。 去换拖鞋。
为什么？他也要检查我的脚吗？
米娜...
面对现实吧，马：你有一个阴暗的女儿。
哈利的妈妈不喜欢黑人。
我们家谁需要哈利英雄类型？

你想让你的女儿30岁 老处女经营酒品店？
为什么不？我们可以有一个链条。
- [笑声] - 去换你的拖鞋。
我为你做的事，妈。

你忘了她是个女孩。
女孩能像她那样行事吗？
宠坏她。宠坏她。
当她坐在我们头上时， 这将是你的责任。
金努。
- 事故不是她的错。 - 唔。
[说唱，模糊]
- [所有人惊呼] - 德克斯，伙计，告诉我们发生了什么事。
我们在这个大房间里，对， 充满了电脑和狗屎。
所以我继续检查他们， 你知道？
开始和他们鬼混。
开始输入，“杀死饼干。”
- 天啊！ - 还有所有其他的东西，对吧？
然后我无法删除它！
嘿，D-Money 差点私刑处死我。
[说唱歌手笑]
- 搞砸了，伙计。 - 哟，德克斯，伙计。得克萨斯
有大哥。 你最好拖屁股，伙计。
- 好的，你们。和平。 - 德克斯搞砸了他兄弟的狗屎，伙计。
- 嘿，D-Money。 - 为什么我总是要来接你，德克斯？
-你 - -嗯？
为什么我总是要来接你 在街角，伙计？
爸爸要你在某个时间回家，
也许给他弄点吃的 在他下班之前。
这就是为什么我不带你去工作。 我不能依赖你。
- 我现在正准备出发。 - 来吧。
- [喃喃自语] 去就业办公室？ - 是的。
- 和？ - 我去了那里，
他们告诉我 我进来太多了。
他们告诉我退伍军人是第一位的。
那些饼干总是有 一些借口尝试-。
我正是这个意思。 看，你总是有一些借口。
你可以在拐角处脱颖而出 有了这些疯子，
但是在找工作的时候， 你有一些借口。
-你可以穿这些大屁股 - -嘿！
我可以给你们买点东西吗？
先生们，你们打电话了吗？
先生，我还有什么可以给您的吗？
小姐？
你能把我们的面包放进去吗 请放在狗袋里吗？
当然，女士。
我想我会回到里面 并等待我的父亲。
- 好的，德米特里厄斯。小心。 - 好的。
那是格蕾丝的儿子。 你知道吗，桑德斯小姐的格蕾丝？
哦。
- 他是个好人。 - 哦。
我们帮助他开创了自己的事业。
克兰西，保佑他的心， 他与银行交谈。
- 你知道他们是如何与参考。 - 是的。
对不起，我迟到了，爸爸。
没什么区别。
还以为那两个 永远不会起身离开。
整夜坐在那里，
忘了给小费。 [嘲笑]
我不知道你为什么这么固执 为他们工作的奴隶工资。
你要我做什么， 坐在家里抓苍蝇？
无论如何，你对奴隶工资了解多少？
猜猜今晚是谁给我打电话的。
谁？
- 艾丽西亚。 - 哦耶？
当然很高兴再次听到她的声音。
我邀请她星期天过来。
爸爸，你这样做是为了什么？
你和她之间发生了什么 是你的事。
但她一直是这个家庭的一份子。
只要我还活着，她就会一直在。
是的先生。
[用印地语唱歌]
[快门声]
【模仿枪声】
嗨，米娜。
- 嗨，哈利。 - 你好吗？
[米娜] 好的。
那是母亲。拥有一家酒类商店。 你可以想象？
父亲是个彻头彻尾的坏蛋。
把所有时间都花在起诉政府上 乌干达的财产。
母亲的眼睛盯着哈利。
但我们正试图让哈利 为我们的纳米塔。
你觉得这个有机会吗？
你可以黑有钱， 或者你可以公平而没有钱。
但你不能黑不起来没钱
并期望得到哈里•帕特尔。
兄弟姐妹和朋友们，
在这个快乐的时刻 在我唯一儿子的婚宴上，
我想说几句。
听，听。为 Anil bhai 欢呼三声。
[说印地语]

我们的传统和我们的神。
所以请和我一起唱祈祷文。
[清嗓子]
[全部用印地语唱歌]
这是什么？表现自己。

- That is the coward's way. - Don't talk to me about cowards.
That's what you are.
You're not leaving because you're scared to leave.
You are scared of leaving Uganda.
Why should I go?
Okelo, this is my home.
Not anymore, Jay.
Africa is for Africans.
Black Africans.
[rooster crows]
I'll be leaving today.
[Okelo sighs]
[rooster crows]
[faint groaning]
[sniffles, sighs]
Thank God you're back.
Where did they take you?
Did they hurt you?
Speak to me, Jay. Where's Okelo?
Gone home, I suppose.
[Jay] I just can't think about the house, what to pack.
I just want to go.
Where are we going, Papa?
Mina, go to sleep.
But sleep's not coming.
No one's going anywhere. Now, go back to bed.
Bela.
We are leaving very soon.
Are we going where Masuma went?
Maybe.
- She said there's snow. Will there be? - Yes.
Is Okelo chacha coming with us?
No.

[car engine starts]
[in English] Bye. Bye.
Bye. Bye.
Bye.
Bye. Bye.
[Mina] When are we going back home?
I don't know.
Papa?
Uh...
Are you crying?
You said that big people don't cry.
Why do we have to go, Papa?

Kinnu?
Okelo.
The car.
I'll sell this.
Ah.
Mina, come.
[in Swahili] What's this? You're taking it with you?
- Can't you come with us? - Be a good girl.
Look after your parents,
and you'd better not forget your Swahili.
But who will speak Swahili with me over there?
I'll see you soon, okay?
[mutters softly]

Okelo Uncle?
Thank you.
[bus engine starts]
[horn honking]

You stay here. Bring your bags.
What's in your bag?
Nothing. Just clothes.

Holy cow. You opening a dairy?
I was just trying to be friendly.

[tires screech]
Look. There's an accident.
[bystander 2] It's gonna be all over town tomorrow.
- Damn it! Didn't you see me? - Hold on, hold on. I saw you.
Where did you get a driving license, boy? Sears and Roebuck?
- You stopped in the middle of the road. - [siren wails]
-This woman ran into me - -[arguing, indistinct]
[officer] All right, what's going on here?
- My truck stalled in the road. - No, your truck stopped in the road!
-And you tailgated - -Keep your voices down!
Your license.
- Does anybody here need a ride? - I'm not finished here.
Is it against the law for my truck to stall in the road?
- It's against the law to stop in the road. - [arguing]
- What the hell - What is he talking about? - Step back.
Tore up my van.
- [in Hindi] What's he saying? - He's saying everything is fine.
You're gonna need that Black guy's name for the insurance.
[in English] I told you to drive slowly.
Didn't I tell you to drive slowly? What will Anil say?
I'm really sorry.
I think I need your name and address for the insurance.
You all right?
Yeah. Here's mine.
- Thanks. - All right.
[driver] I'm telling you, it's not my fault.
I ain't finished with you yet, young lady.
"Honorable Sirs: This is in reference to my lawsuit number 2089,
filed in the high court at Kampala,
dated 30 December 1985, for restoration of my property."
I was born in Uganda, and Uganda has been my home,
a country to which I had the utmost loyalty and love
until I was forcibly
and illegally expelled
by General ldi Amin.
Suing the mad government of a mad country.
It's going to drive you mad.
For five years, they haven't replied,
but you carry on like a stuck record.
Kinnu, it's a new regime.
I know it's a new regime.
So what?
-Every year, it's new. But nothing - -[person] Kinnu, Mina had an accident!
- What happened, beta? - What did you do to my car?
What did you do to my car, Mina?
Was anyone hurt?
No one was hurt.
- How did it happen? - [Jay] Thank God nobody was hurt.
What's happened has happened. No use crying over spilt milk.
Who is going to pay for this? Does money grow on trees over here?
Maybe in your fertile Uganda it used to grow on trees, but not here.
Can't feed his own family, and giving me lectures about spilt milk.
My father can feed us just fine, you - you wanker.
- What did you call me? - [Kinnu] Shut your mouth.
Why should I shut my mouth?
Hey, my man, I need my money. Forty bucks.
Y'all gonna need this for the insurance.
[Anil] See, Napkin,
last week I even got Chanda's name on the license plate.
Anil bhai, stop thinking of the car.
Pontiac bhai, from whose pocket is this all going to come?
Thank you very much. Bye-bye, bye-bye.
You have other problems.
- What? - In this country,
all they know is how to sue.
You get me?
Do you know about whiplash?
He'll say, "When she hit my car, my neck got a -.
And my spine is damaged forever.
And so I am suing you for just one million dollars."
- Then what will you do? - Hey, Pontiac, stop scaring him.
Anil, give me that fellow's card.
Sure.
"Your dirt is our bread and butter."
This fellow cleans my carpets.
Mine too. So what?
So, I'll fix it. Don't worry.
Napkin, you speak to him, huh? Please.
Tomorrow. Now, smile.
I want to see you smile.
It's your wedding day, man. Come on! Enjoy!
- Okay? - [grunts]
Hmm?
Mmm. Beautiful.
Must you check, Kinnu? It's not Mina's wedding, after all.
[speaks Hindi]
[in English] I knew it. Go change your slippers.
Why? Is he gonna check out my feet also?
Mina...
Face it, Ma: You got a darky daughter.
Harry's mother doesn't like darkies.
Who needs Harry hero types in our family?
Huh? Kinnu?
You want your daughter to be a 30-year-old spinster running a liquor store?
Why not? We can have a chain.
- [chuckles] - Go change your slippers.
The things I do for you, Ma.
Really, Jay, you never say anything to her.
You forget she's a girl.
Can girls behave the way she does?
Spoil her. Spoil her.
And when she sits on our head, it'll be your responsibility.
Kinnu.
- The accident wasn't her fault. - Hmm.
[rapping, indistinct]
- [all exclaiming] - Dex, man, tell us what happened.
We was in this big room, right, filled with computers and shit.
So I go on over to check 'em out, you know?
Start fooling around with them.
Start typing, "Kill the crackers."
- Oh, man! - And all this other stuff, right?
And then I couldn't erase it!
Hey, D-Money nearly lynched me.
[rappers chuckling]
- That's messed up, man. - Yo, Dex, man. Dex.
There's big brother. You better haul ass, man.
- Okay, y'all. Peace. - Dex messed up his brother's shit, man.
- Hey, D-Money. - Why I always got to come get you, Dex?
-You - -Huh?
Why I always got to come get you off the street corner, man?
Daddy wants you home at a certain time,
maybe fix him something to eat before he get off of work.
That's why I don't take you on the job. I can't depend upon you.
- I was getting ready to go now. - Come on.
- [mutters] Go by the employment office? - Yeah.
- And? - I went down there,
and they tell me I'm coming in there too much.
They tell me veterans come first.
Those crackers always got some excuse to try to -.
That's what I'm talking about. See, you always got some excuse.
You can stand out here on the corner with these crackheads,
but when it come to getting a job, you got some excuse.
-You can wear these big-ass - -Hey!
Can I get something for y'all?
Gentlemen, did you ring?
Anything else I can get for you, sir?
Ma'am?
Could you put our bread in a doggy bag, please?
Certainly, ma'am.
I'll guess I'll go back inside and wait for my father.
- All right, Demetrius. Take care. - All right.
That's Grace's son. You know, Miss Sanders' Grace?
Oh.
- He's the good one. - Oh.
We helped him start his own business.
Clancy, bless his heart, he spoke to the bank.
- You know how they are with references. - Yeah.
Sorry I'm late, Dad.
It don't make no difference.
Thought those two was never gonna get up and leave.
Sat there all night,
and forgot to leave a tip. [Scoffs]
I don't know why you're so stubborn, working for them slave wages.
What you want me to do, sit at home and catch flies?
What you know about slave wages, anyway?
Guess who called me tonight.
Who?
- Alicia. - Oh, yeah?
Sure was good to hear her voice again.
I invited her to stop by on Sunday.
Daddy, what you do that for?
What happened between you and her is your business.
But she always been a part of this family.
She always will be, so long as I'm alive.
Yes, sir.
[singing in Hindi]
[shutter clicks]
[imitating gunfire]
Hi, Mina.
- Hi, Harry. - How are you doing?
[Mina] Fine.
That's the mother. Owns a liquor shop. Can you imagine?
The father's a complete screw-loose.
Spends all his time suing the government of Uganda for his property.
The mother has her eyes on Harry.
But we're trying to get Harry for our Namita.
You think this one has a chance?
You can be dark and have money, or you can be fair and have no money.
But you can't be dark and have no money
and expect to get Harry Patel.
Brothers, sisters and friends,
on this happy occasion of my only son's wedding reception,
I would like to say a few words.
Hear, hear. Three cheers for Anil bhai.
[speaking Hindi]
Thank you.
But what I wish to say is more serious,
and that is,
even though we are 10,000 miles away from India,
we should not forget our roots, our culture,
our tradition and our gods.
So please join me in singing a prayer.
[clears throat]
[all singing in Hindi]
What is this? Behave yourself.
Wake up. Everyone's singing.
Wanna go out when this is over?
Okay. Let me tell my mother, though.
I have to get out of these clothes.
[whispering] Ma, Harry's asked me to go out.
[whispering] They're going out.
[singing continues]
You wouldn't believe all the racket they're making.
It's 10:00, and customers are complaining, so you better come right on over.
Send them back to the reservation. That's what I say.
How many times do I have to tell you? They're not that kind of Indian.
- This place? - It's the only place open in your town.
- Wanna give it a shot? - Sure.
[upbeat dance music playing]
[car alarm chirps]
[people chattering, exclaiming]
Oh, girls.
[whoops]
Excuse me. Two beers, please. Michelob.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Tadice. - Hi, girl! What are you doing here?
Just hanging out.
Uh, Harry, Tadice. Tadice, Harry.
- Tadice. Pleasure. - We used to work together at the motel.
"You are needing room?"
- Never mind us. Wanna dance? - Me?
- Hi. - Hey, how you doing?
We met this afternoon. The accident.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- How's your van? - All right. And the car's all right?
- Uh, not really. - Yeah.
Excuse me.
What's up, Rabbit?

our very own Alicia LeShay!
[people applauding, cheering]
We saw your face in the magazine, and all us homeboys and homegirls,
we're proud of you, sugar.
Sylvester Artiste III, record producer.
How you doing?
Hey, with this lady by my side, I feel like a king.
[Alicia] Rabbit and me used to be the talk of the town. [Chuckles]
- You seen my advertisements? - Yeah.
Now I'm gonna cut a record. And you?
Huh? Yeah, I'm doing all right. We got some new machines,
and, uh, you know,
we're doing work with deep shags now, so everything's going all right.
-As a matter of fact, I'm killing - -Ooh, Rashida.
Girl, how you doing? You look fabulous!
Like to dance?
Mina, I'm leaving.
Oh, come on, Mina. You can't leave already.
- D-Money will take you home. - Huh?
Uh, yeah, yeah. Where you stay?
At the Monte Cristo, off the 82.
- Are you sure you wanna leave? - Yes.
I'll stay, if you don't mind, huh?
[patron] Let me get a vodka. You got vodka in this place?
Oh. Tyrone, this here's, uh...
Mina.
[chuckles] Mina, Mina. Oh, my - Oh!
You 'bout the - Hey, you from around here?
- Yeah. - You Mexican?
- No. - I used to live in LA.
There's plenty of Mexicans there looking as pretty as you do.
I'm Indian.
Oh, come on, now. You ain't no Indian.
Yes, I am.
What's a girl like you doing in Mississippi?
Punishing yourself?
- You about ready to go? - No, no. She just got here.
Why don't you stay, and I'll take you home?
I'll see you in the morning, Tyrone. Come on.
What?
So you clean carpets?
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, got my own business.
Motels?
Motels, offices, homes.
Indian motels?
Yeah, some.
[chuckles] Mostly they clean their own carpets, though.
[chuckles] Yeah, I know.
That's where I live.
In a motel.
Work there too.
I'm gonna give you one of my cards here. You might want to, uh...
You already gave me one.
I did?
This morning?
The accident?
Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah.
I'll walk you in.
I'll be fine. Really.
- You sure? - Mm-hmm.
All right.
Oh, listen, I didn't mean to butt in on your man.
[chuckles] He's not my man.
Well, uh, maybe I'll give you a call sometime.
[insect buzzing]
- Listen to me. Listen to me. - [Jay] Okay. Okay.
If you don't spend, how will money come in?
There must be cross-ventilation.
Jay bhai, if money is not important,
then why are you wasting your time
suing the government of Uganda for your property?
Money comes...
money goes.
Right, Pontiac?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh!
[kisses]
Meet our Jay bhai.
In Uganda, he was the champion defender of Blacks.
But the same Blacks kicked him out.
Right, Jay bhai?
- Cruelty has no color. - Principles, Pontiac.
Principles.
Jay bhai? Hey, Jay bhai, who are you phoning?
- Hmm? - Kampala.
To tell the person who is living in my house to get out!
Had a good time?
Ma.
Where did you go?
Dancing.
I keep telling you.
Go out more.
Meet people.
[chuckling]
You should've seen his mother's face when you left.
Are you going out again?
Did he say anything?
- Ma? - Hmm?
What happened with Okelo and Papa?
How did that come into your head?
I mean, why doesn't Papa ever write to him
or talk about him?
Is Harry Patel a good dancer?
Yeah.
Like him?
No.
It doesn't happen in a day, you know.
Happened with Pa and you.
With this attitude...
you'll never find anyone.
You mean to tell me that Indian was ripe for plucking, and you ain't do nothin'?
[Demetrius] Yeah, she did look pretty good, though.
T-Bone, what you think?
All a man got on his mind is just getting in a woman's pants?
That ain't all he's got on his mind.
You got Alicia on your mind. That woman don't want you no more.
She got herself a Jheri-curl-headed wigwam boy from Jackson.
[fey voice] Sylvester Artiste III, record producer.
- You need a Jheri curl, boy. - [chuckles]
- [Williben] You gonna make me late again? - Pa, she ain't going nowhere.
- Morning, Tyrone. - Pop, how you doing?
[engine starts]
[chanting in Hindi]
O Lord,
grant peace to every living creature under the sun.
[chanting resumes]
- [machine whirring] - [indistinct conversation]
[Tyrone humming tune]
Hey, fellows.
[machine powers down]
I want you to try something special.
[chuckles] Relax. Sit down.
Your people are very good at sports, no?
- Hmm? - [both chuckling]
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Freddie Brown from downtown.
Héctor "Macho Man" Camacho!
No, Macho ain't black, though. He's, what, Mexican?
- Macho Puerto Rican. - Puerto Rican.
Black, brown, yellow, Mexican, Puerto Rican...
All the same.
As long as you're not white, it means you are colored.
- Isn't that so? - Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
A girl had an accident with your van yesterday. Correct?
Uh-huh.
But no damage was done to your person or to your van.
- Correct? - That's right.
Thank God. [Chuckles]
The person whose car she was driving is my very good friend.
Also Indian. You get me?
- No. - He is worried,
because in this country, people are suing all the time.
Oh! Oh! [Chortling]
Yeah, I got you now.
Yeah, this is good tea. Mmm!
[all chuckling]
I didn't mean to laugh.
You tell your friend he ain't got nothing to worry about.
I-I told him. I told him not to worry.
You are a good man.
All us people of color must stick together.
[Tyrone] That's right.
"Cause you and your brothers, you all done all right by us.
And me and my brothers, we gonna do sho 'nuff all right by y'all.
United we stand. Divided we fall.
That's right. Right on, brother.
Power to the people.
What a brother.
"Power to the people.”
Anil.
I spoke to him. It's all okay.
[machine whirring]
[phone rings]
All right.
- Hello. - [Mina] Is that Demetrius?
- Yes, ma 'am. Who is this? - Mina.
Oh, Mina. Hey.
[chuckles] What's up?
I just wanted to say, um, thanks.
You know, the other night? Thanks for dropping me home.
Yeah, okay. Um, bye.
Wait a minute, hold on, now. Relax. Relax. Wait a minute.
I ain't gonna sue.
- What? - Hello?
Yeah, I'm here.
Look, uh, what you doing Sunday afternoon?
Sunday... Nothing much.
Would you come to my house and have dinner with me and my family?
I'd love to.
Mina.
My father always used to say,
"They can take everything from you,
but they can't take away your education.”
Papa, please.
Mina,
you are too intelligent to waste your life cleaning bathrooms.
It makes me feel I failed you as a father.
Look, Pa, there's nothing wrong with cleaning bathrooms.
When you win your case,
and you get your money,
I'll think about college.

I never did like that girl.
Anybody change their name to LeShay...
- You got a mean, old mouth. - I just say the truth like I see it.
Where's the food? Where's the food?
See, while the others was blowing their money up their noses,
Eddie had his head on his shoulders.

I'm just biding my time here in Greenwood till I learn how to handle success.
You understand what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, I'm hanging around here too, you know, until I get myself situated.
I think I'll go see if they need help in the kitchen.
You need any help with that help? [chuckles]

Man, just looking at her make me break into a sweat.
Yeah? Well, don't sweat all over the chicken.
I can't wait to see Alicia's face when she see her.
Mmm.
Maybe when Alicia come back to you, you can pass Mina on to me.
Like she a bag of groceries or something?
D-Money, you so righteous, you should've been a preacher.
I tell you what. You should go out with Alicia.
I tell you something. I already been out with Alicia.
He is about the nicest man a girl could ever ask for.
We're just friends.
Oh, did I say any different?
[chuckles]
You know, we was all set to go to Jackson State.
When his mama died,
he didn't wanna leave his daddy alone 'cause that's the kind of boy he is.
Now, I made a vow to Grace that I would look after her boy,
and I've been like a mother to him ever since.
Doing so well now, with his own business and all,
makes me right proud of him.
It's not easy, you know?
Sometimes, no matter how hard you work,
things have a way of going wrong.
That's when you gotta know how to make 'em right again. Know what I mean?
Lord,
bless this gathering
and remember our dear, departed Grace.

No, India.

Where are the biscuits?
What's Africa like? It's not like Shaka Zulu, is it?
Some places. You know, they got cities too.
We used to live in Kampala.
- Isn't that where ldi Amin is from? - Mm-hmm.
Y'all hush with all the questions. Let the girl eat her food.
I'm going to Africa one day to see Nelson Mandela.
Then I can say I saw somebody for sure!
- Who gonna pay for the ticket? Welfare? - [scattered chuckles]
Young lady, tell me.
How come they got Indians in Africa?
The British brought them there to build the railway.
Like slaves.
I guess. That's how my grandfather came.
Then the railway was finished, and he stayed on.
[Dexter] How come you left?
Dexter, let her eat her food, now.
I'm just asking a question.
Just let her eat her food.
What's wrong with asking how come she left?
There ain't nothing wrong with asking why she left.
Just let her eat.

Well, Mina's gotta go, so we gonna head on out.
Thank you. Happy birthday.
- Come see us again, you hear? - Okay.
- All right. - Aunt Rose.
Good to see you. Thanks for coming.
- Granddaddy. - And you be a good girl. Be a good girl.
Look here. Look here.
If I go to India and get me one of them Aladdin lamps,
rub it real good, you think I can get me a genie like you?
I don't know. I've never been to India.
Well, you just like us.
We from Africa, but we never been there before either.
♪ Happy birthday, dearest Pa... ♪
Alicia! Ah!
- Happy birthday. - Ooh!
- Hey, Rabbit. - Wow!
Who she calling Rabbit?
And who is this?
- Hi, I'm Mina. - I'm Demetrius.
See y'all.
You ever been to the bayou?
[Demetrius] Nice, right?
[Mina] It's beautiful.
My mother used to say that she could never step in the same river twice.
What's that supposed to mean?
I don't know.
- You had a good time today? - Yeah.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Family didn't ask too many questions?
No. Your family's great.
There's really a feeling of home there.
Thank you.
What about your folks?
It's just my dad and my mom and me.
I like your ring there.
What is it?
- My mother gave it to me. - Mmm.
It's a cooling stone from India.
Cooling stone?
For peace of mind.
You think I'm trying to hit on you?
Hmm?
Are you?
- Yeah. - [chuckles]
You mind if I kiss you?
Mind if I kiss you again?
You're sweet, you know that?
[imitating Napkin] All of us people of color must stick together, you know.
Come on.
- Hello. - Hello.
Good evening. Monte Cristo. May I help you?
Monte - Yeah. Monte Cristo. May I help you?
- Uh, come on, Bear. - [dog whines]
Good evening. Monte Cristo. May I help you?
- [Indian music playing on stereo] - [chuckles]
[humming]
You are looking very happy today.
- I'm always happy, Pops. - Oh?
But today there is something extra.
Look into my eyes.
Mmm.
You can fool everyone, but cannot fool Jammubhai.
[both chuckle]
- Hello. Tired, no? - Oh, yeah. Mmm.
- How many times? - Chinese don't do no hanky-panky.
Hey, sayonara.
Hello. May I help you?
- Room, hmm? - Do you have any hourly rates?
Yes, sir. One hour, two hour, full night.
Our motto is, customer always comes first.
So, what's your hourly rate?
[Jammubhai] 12.57.
Evening, ma'am.
[whispering] I couldn't wait till tomorrow. I had to see you tonight.
- You want a room? - Uh, yes, ma'am.
- Rama Inn's only 9.99. - Go to Rama Inn.
...where two people could be alone to enjoy each other's company.
Look, man, don't waste my time. You want a room or not?
How do you spell your name?
Biloxi. Mr. Biloxi.
[whispering] Can you come with me to Biloxi? Please, can you come?
Please.
Please? Please?
I'm sorry. We can't go cheaper than that.
- I see. - Enjoy. Thank you.
- Hello, Mr. Biloxi. - Hi.
- You are needing room? - Uh, no.
No, your rates are too high.
Thank you for your help.
These days it's like disease.
Everybody asking for discount.
I am going on my rounds. Good night.
Good night.
[grunts] What are you doing? It's paining.
- Chanda, I... - [grunts]
[sighs]
I'd like to help everybody in America.
I'd like to help the average person
who is sitting at home, sitting in this audience,
and you all have dreams, but you're maybe afraid to go for those dreams...
Mina?
How are you?
[chuckles]
What you mean, "How are you"? You know who it is?
Of course.
Well, I was just thinking about you.
Thought I'd give you a call.
Kind of wishing you were here with me.
I was thinking the same.
Wanting to be with you.
What you got on?
You in your pajamas?
T-shirt.
Yeah, me too.
[chuckles] Guess we got a lot in common, huh?
[both chuckling]
So, uh, you thought about what I said?
As far as going with me to Biloxi?
You know, I'm - I'm gonna try.
Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Demetrius?
Yeah?
- Can I ask you something? - Yeah.
Anything, baby.
Are you seeing me
to make Alicia...
[Jammubhai] Mina, call the police. Underage!
I gotta go.
- What's that? - Bye.
I can put as many people in this room as I want.
I paid for the room, so that makes it mine.
- No, no. Get out at once. Get out! - What are you gonna do if I don't?
You are underage. Underage. I can call the police.
-Oh, m - -You just get out. Get out!
- Underage. - [exclaims]
Underage!
[clamoring, exclaiming]
First-class job they did, yaar.
Looks brand-new again.
First-class money they charged also.
We must test it. Go for a spin.
Want to visit Pontiac's new motel? What do you say?
Pontiac's motel, Pontiac's car.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Papa, there's a letter from Uganda here for you.
- What's it say? - Nothing important.
Papa?
Hmm?
Nitu's inviting me to go to the beach with her.
Think I could go?
When will you be back?
Tomorrow.
Yeah, okay. Go.
Just be back in time for your birthday.
[person's voice] Dear Mr. Loha,
we are in receipt of your six letters of inquiry
regarding your claim to Ugandan citizenship
and compensation for your past assets.
This is to inform you that the court of Uganda
will hear your petition on September 23, 1990,
and your presence in Kampala is required.
Hey.
- Want me to carry this for you? - Sure.
So, how you doing?
- Good. - Yeah?
- Yeah. - Had a good trip?
Very good.
You know, I don't do this every day.
Oh, what, you think, like, I do it all the time or something?
How would I know?
Good question.
I think you got the wrong idea about me, though.
- My name's Demetrius, not Tyrone. - [chuckles]
- You're right. - We're right over here.
You know, I had to tell my parents that I was going to see Nitu.
Nitu? Oh, and I'm Nitu?
- Yep. - Oh. [Laughing]
- Nitu. - Nitu.
Me too.
Thank you.
[man shouts, indistinct]
From where to where we've come, Kinnu?
No point thinking like that.
Here's to your lawsuit.
To Likker Legger.
Cheers.
Your aunt Rose was telling me why you didn't leave Mississippi.
Yeah? What did she say?
She said you stayed home to look after your father.
[chuckles] Yeah, I guess.
Is it true?
I ain't no saint, you know. I mean, I got a good business.
Ain't no reason to leave. This is the new Mississippi. I like it here.
[chuckles] It's not where I live.
You know how many people come to our motel,
and they look at us,
and they say, "Not another goddamn Indian"?
- It makes me so mad. - Yeah.
Well, Miss Masala,
racism - Or as they say nowadays, "tradition"...
Gets passed down like recipes.
Now, the trick is that you got to know what to eat
and what to leave on your plate.
[Mina] Mmm.
- Otherwise, you'll be mad forever. - And you'll never eat.
- And you'll never eat. That's right. - [both laughing]
[calliope playing]
[people whooping]
[Demetrius] The world looks good from up here.
I say we travel together. What do you say?
- I say yes. - Yes!
We go to Jamaica.
We go to Japan.
We go to...
Africa!
We go to Colombia!
We go to Madagascar!
- And then we go to India! - Reunion Island!
Where is that?
[Demetrius laughing]
There's Mina.
- Where? - There.
I just saw her with the carpet cleaner.
What rubbish you are talking. Have you had too much to drink?
- So I'm lying, huh? - Mina is in Greenwood.
Oh. So I'm mad, seeing things which are not there?
Shut up, yaar!
Come on, man, smile. We are here on holiday. Play.

Demetrius?

Demetrius?
Hmm?

[news reader] General ldi Amin spoke of a dream he had
that Asians must be expelled from Uganda immediately.
Asians came to Uganda to build the railway.
The railway is finished. They must leave now.
- I give them 90 days to pack up and go. - Oh.
Asians have milked the cow but not fed it.
Africans are poor. Asians are rich.
The Asians are sabotaging the economy of Uganda.
They have refused to allow their daughters to marry Africans.
They have been here for 70 years...
[Jay] Okelo, the man is a madman.
[Okelo] No one gives a damn what passport you have
or how many African clients you have defended against Asians.
- Take it seriously, Jay. - Have you forgotten that I'm Ugandan?
[Okelo] I know you were born here.
[Kinnu] Do what you want, Jay, But I'm taking Mina and leaving.
[Jay] Go where? Uganda is our home, and we are going to stay here!

Hey. What's this?
Huh? Birthday girls don't cry like this.
But you didn't even sing "Happy Birthday."
Okay, I'll sing.

Hey.
[chuckles]
It's so good to wake up next to you.
- Anil. - Huh?
Come here.
What?
- Didn't I tell you yesterday? - Huh?
I saw that carpet-cleaning kalu with Mina.
That's his van.
[Napkin] No, it is not.
- What are you trying to say, Pontiac? - We've come here to have fun.
- He is insulting my family honor here. - No.
- Bastard. - Anil!
[knocking]
Hold on.
- [knocking] - All right. One minute, one minute.
- Yeah. - [Anil] Mina?
Who do you think you're fooling with over here, huh?
I'm warning you. You -.
Listen, you leave our women alone.
[groaning]
- Oh, God! My nose! Napkin! - Go! Get some help!
Get police, yaar!
Help! Help!
Help, please! Help!
- Oh. Help. Help, someone. Please. - What's the matter?
- Here. Come, come. Come, please. - Sure, sure.
- No! - Demetrius, stop!
What the hell's going on in here?
- Officer, that man is trying to kill us. - What?
What right do you have to arrest a man -.
Shut up or I'll book you for whoring.
You leave me alone, you motherfucking asshole!
Let's go.
Not now.
We'll talk later.
What is wrong with you, man?
Bringing her down here to Biloxi. You lost your mind or something?
D-Money, you'd better leave them fucking foreigners alone, boy.
They ain't nothing but trouble.
"United we stand, divided we fall."
Ain't that a bitch?
Yeah, but if you fall in bed with one of their daughters,
your ass gonna swing.
And what about me? What about me?
I've never asked you for anything, never expected anything.
I'm 24 years old, and I'm still here!
Stuck here!
You think I'm happy?
I love him.
That's not a crime, is it?
You call this love?
When all you've done is bring such shame on our heads?
I didn't do anything! They barged in!
[Jay] Don't answer back!
Have the decency at least to be sorry!
I am sorry about this mess.
But I'm not sorry I'm in love with him.
[Kinnu] Who is he?
What do you know about him? What about his family?
This is America, Ma. No one cares.
We care.
Your father and I.
You are our only child.
If we don't care...
who will?
Do you know what she told her mother?
Just wait. I'm telling you.
- "I love him. That's not a crime." - [person gasps]
Yeah. Can you imagine dumping Harry Patel for a Black?
I'm sending my Namita to India as soon as possible.
[exclaims in Hindi] They get ideas from each other,
and then it spreads like a disease.
Can I speak to Mina, please?
There's no Mina. She not here.
Are y'all having nigger troubles?
[phone rings]
I guess I'd better call Bob at the bank.
After all, we did help him get his loan, you know?
There's nothing I can do.
I've already hired someone else.
You let down your family,
your community, your entire race.
Oh, and I don't see no shortage of Black women around Greenwood.
The Chamber of Commerce needs responsible people,
and you're not exactly appropriate.
What's wrong with you, boy? Don't you know the rules?
Daddy, I didn't do nothing wrong.
Mr. Morgan helped you get that loan to start up this business.
Now, how am I gonna show my face around them after this?
Oh, your Mr. Morgan. He didn't give his own money.
All he done was to recommend Demetrius to the bank.
See, all you and the rest of them want
is that he should know his place and to stay in it.
But the days of slavery, they over, Williben.
- Yeah, boy. - Hush.
- Where you going? - To the barbershop.
Well, I ain't through with you yet!
I got a meeting with the bank manager in the morning.
I know you don't want me to go down there with a nappy head, do you?
I'm with you, brother.
You should just leave, you know? No use trying to make a living in this dump.
Dexter, when I need your advice, I'll ask for it.
Hey, don't talk to me like that, D-Money. I'm on your side.
You know what they say to me?
They say, "Your brother deserves what happened.
Your brother think he large now.
Your brother thought he got himself a white chick."
But they just a bunch of insane to the brains.
What do they know?
Go on home now.
[patron] Money is the root of all evil.
- You give me the root, I'll take the evil. - [people laughing]
Demetrius, you're next.
- Hey, what's happening, man? - Hey, you got it.
No, you've got it.
Lisa Bonet, enter my world!
- I heared what happened. - ...old dog a bone.
You know, we're just as bad as everybody else.
Black folk don't like to see other Black folk do good.
I tell them you work hard to get where you are.
They don't wanna hear that.
They just sit back on their butts and wait to see if you fall on your face.
And if you do, they just as happy.
Hey, D-Money, can you come by and clean my carpets tomorrow?
Character, credit,
collateral, capital,
and... [clears throat]
Yes, sir, yes, sir, but...
Business is a little slow right now,
but, uh, we've been regular with our payments coming up on two years now.
May I finish?
It appears that, for whatever reason,
you've lost most of your local clients.
Now, we need full repayment of your dues by the first of next month.
Failing that, we're gonna have to repossess your van.
Boys, let me tell you something.
In my life, I've worked hard for what I've got.
I wanna see you work hard for what you get too.
Character, capital, collateral.
- "Color." That's the one they left out. - I give up. I'm going back to LA.
- What? - Yeah, that's right, man.
I ain't staying down here no more, man.
So you gonna run away too, huh? Just like Alicia.
It ain't worth it, D-Money. I don't need this shit.
I waited a long time to be famous.
If that don't work, I'll drive transit buses in LA till the time's right.
[toilet flushes]
Room?
I'd like to see Mina, please.
Wait.
One minute.
Hello. Jay bhai.
[in Hindi] Come to the desk. It's urgent.
Okay.
Wait.
- You want to see me? - No. I asked to speak to Mina.
Come with me.
You've caused enough trouble.
- Sir? - What do you want from us now?
I'm Mina's father.
Oh, I'm Demetrius Williams. Glad to make your acquaintance.
I know who you are.
Then you know I'm here to see Mina.
That will not be possible.
All right. Then I'm glad to have the opportunity to talk with you, sir.
I'm sorry, but we have nothing to discuss.
I believe we do, being that you about ruined my reputation and business.
I think I'm entitled to an answer, don't you?
Ah. I see.
You think I ain't good enough for your daughter. Is that it?
No, that's not it.
Mina is free to love anyone, to live as she chooses.
I respect her freedom.
But that does not absolve me of my responsibility as her father.
Well, no disrespect to you, sir,
but she's a grown woman, and we care for each other very much.
Now, I think that's all there is to it.
You know, once I was like both of you.
I thought I could change the world, be different.
But the world is not so quick to change.
Mina is my only child.
I don't want her to go through the same struggle as I did.
"Struggle"? I'm a Black man born and raised in Mississippi.
Ain't a damn thing you can tell me about struggle.
-What do you know about my - -No, I know.
I know. I know you and your folks can come down here
from God knows where and be as Black as the ace of spades,
and as soon as you get here, you start acting white
and treating us like we're your doormats.
I know that you and your daughter ain't but a few shades from this right here.
That, I know.
- [upbeat traditional music playing] - [whooping]
- To our last night in Uganda. - In Uganda.
- To Uganda. Cheers. - Cheers.
- Cheers.
To Uganda.
You have been so good to us until this madman came.
Yeah, we created the madman.
We buggers in Uganda.
Most people are born with five senses.
We are left with only one:
A sense of property.
But you see -.
If I release him, they'll get my neck.
What I'm trying to tell you -.
He gave an interview, this brother of yours,
on BBC for the world to hear.
-Well - -That Amin was evil.
([prisoner singing in Swahili)
[prisoner gasping, panting]
You. Out.
You can go.
[singing continues]
Come on. Let's go.
It's easy to be king of Kampala.
Big fish in a little pond.
Why don't you try to be king of London?
Or king of Bombay?
Because I was born here!
I've always been Ugandan first, Indian second.
I've been called a bootlicker and a traitor by my fellow Indians.
Okelo...
Uganda is my home.
Not anymore, Jay.
Africa is for Africans.
Black Africans.
Do you know why we left Uganda?
Do you?
[Mina] They put you in jail.
After 34 years, my brother Okelo told me,
"Africa is for Africans.
Black Africans."
After 34 years, that's what it all came down to:
The color of my skin.
That's why we left.
Not because of ldi Amin or anything like that.
Mina?
Believe me. I'm speaking from experience.
People stick to their own kind.
You are forced to accept that when you grow older.
I'm only trying to spare you the pain.
Okelo risked his life to save yours.
I don't know what more proof you could have of his love.
What do you remember? You were just a child.
I remember.
I remember his face when he came to say goodbye,
and you wouldn't even look at him.
My suggestion is you settle out of court. Save you a lot of time...
[Jay] Why should we, Mr. Turnbull?
How can you expect any jury to believe
that your client's been lying in bed with a back injury?
Don't think we are ignorant Indians who will just get scared and pay.
I'm a lawyer myself!
No court on earth will entertain for one minute this fraudulent claim!
Why don't you just try me?
Don't get scared, Anil. Pure bluff.
He was just trying to extort money.
Bloody crooks.
I'll fix them.
Jay bhai, I don't want you to fix anything.
You and your family have completely ruined me.
You have brought me nothing but trouble.
Jay bhai, my peace of mind is gone.
Now, I wish that you would also go.
Yes.
Maybe my shanti will return then.
[soul music playing on stereo]
Do you know what your friend's done?
He's just sued Anil for $50,000.
Pack your things. We're leaving Mississippi.
[door closes]
Going back to Uganda? What is it going to solve?
It will get Mina away from this fellow.
Number two, we are not wanted here.
And number three, next week is my court hearing.
What court hearing?
I'm going to fight it, Kinnu. I'm going to win it.
I'm going to get our property back.
Kinnu, we can start a new life.
How can you even think of it, Jay?
How can you even think of going back to Uganda?
Kinnu,
we are getting old.
I don't want to die in some stranger's country.
I'm ashamed of you. I'm so ashamed of your behavior.
- How come you always take their side? - What?
What about me? I've worked hard to buy this motel,
and I'm not running a charity!
Anil, you have become American.
So what? I live here in America.
If you don't like it, go back to India.
[Indian music plays on stereo]
Jay bhai,
please forgive us for all this.
And please,
even now if you'll change your mind about going...
I forgot my shoes in the other room.
[engine starts]
I feel so bad.
Hey. How many times must I tell you?
I was thinking of going anyway.
This was just what we needed.
[Jammubhai sighs]
Well?
Sir, do you know where I can find Demetrius?
Young lady, you've caused enough trouble in my son's life,
and I don't need you to cause problems in mine by coming in here like this...
I'm sorry. I am sorry for everything.
I didn't come to make trouble.
I just want to say goodbye to him. We're moving back to Africa.
Williben, they need you in the kitchen.
Yes, ma'am.
Sir, please?
He's talking to motels in Indianola.
[tires screech]
- Yes, ma'am. - [tires screech]
Yes, ma'am. We have the latest equipment. We have the best prices.
Best service. Wonderful smiles. Tell you what: Why don't you take my card?
Won't hurt you. Just a piece of paper.
- Oh, all right. I give up. - [car door shuts]
Thank you.
[tires screech]
- [horn blaring] - Demetrius!
What do you want?
Huh? What you chasing me for?
Your people done put me out of work. What more do you want?
You walk into my life from these fancy places.
I know I'm just a carpet cleaner and never left Mississippi, but I was happy.
I was happy the way I was till you come along after me,
and God knows why.
All those years of building up my business are gone.
Now I'm just the biggest joke that ever hit Greenwood. Thank you.
You listen to me. I never went after you.
You chased me.
You asked me to your house, you invited me to Biloxi -.
You never told me that your family had trouble with Black folks.
Well, you never asked.
You never once asked me about myself.
[scoffs]
And you know why?
You were too busy using me to make Alicia jealous.
- Who told you that? - Nobody had to.
I'm not stupid, you know.
Anyway, your nightmare's over.
I just came to say goodbye.
I'm moving back to Africa.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
All right, I admit at first, I...
Well, she was with that guy, and I...
I never thought I would fall in love with you.
[exhales sharply]
What are you gonna do now?
Well, Tyrone went to Los Angeles.
I'm thinking about going somewhere, I guess.
Demetrius, can I come with you?
What?
Can I come with you?
Come with me where?
I don't know. Wherever you're going.
I didn't say I was going anywhere. I said I was thinking about it.
Well, think about it.
You said we're gonna travel and see the world and -.
Yeah. What we gonna live on? Fresh air?
No. You've got the van.
I could be your partner.
I know how to clean rooms.
You're out your mind. You know that?
I'm not out of my mind. It's crazy to stay here.
Well, for one thing, the van belongs to the bank in two weeks.
If we cross state lines, the federal marshals -.
That's two weeks away.
That Indian girl, is she with you?
Yes, Sir.
What you plan to do?
Daddy, I've been thinking about moving on.
Son,
I know something's been keeping you from being happy.
And you know I'm gonna miss you.
- You gonna be all right? - What do you think I am, a newborn babe?
What about Dexter?
Maybe he needs you gone to do some growing up.
Yeah.
Listen, about the van, I know it's gonna cause you trouble with Mrs. Morgan,
but I'm gonna take it, okay?
You let me worry about that.
- [Mrs. Morgan] Williben. - I have to go. Stay in touch.
I love you.
God bless you, Son.
[thunder crashes]
[phone ringing]
Hello. Monte Cristo. May I help you?
[Mina] Who's that? Anil?
Where's my car?
If you stop screaming in my ear, I'll tell you.
Where's my car, Mina?
If you're with that-that carpet fellow,
you'd better ask him, is he going to sue me or what?
The car's at the One Stop Hotel. I'll leave the keys with the owner.
Mina, please tell him I'm very sorry, and please ask him to forget the lawsuit.
I will. Don't worry, okay?
Hey. [Chuckles]
Thanks, Mina, huh? Thanks.
- And listen, you keep smiling, okay? - I will,
Is that Mina?
Ask Jay to take it in the room, please. Mina?
Ma.
I'm not coming back.
I'm sorry, but I can't go to Uganda.
What would I do there?
Are you alone?
No.
I'm with Demetrius.
Dad? Are you there?
Ma, I'm sorry. I -.
I'm really sorry. Why did he put the phone down?
I'll talk to your father.
Just come back home now.
Demetrius and I are gonna work together.
We're leaving Mississippi to see what we can do.
We'll talk about it But come back home now.
I can't.
If I don't leave now, I'll never leave.
You know that.
Then promise me something.
Ring Jammubhai every two days and tell him where you are.
I will.
Ma, I'll see you soon, okay?
Kiss Papa for me.
You all right?
We've always said goodbye to other people.
She has a mind of her own.
She can't grow here anymore.
Mina is your daughter. She's just like you.
Fine. Then I also won't go.
You must go.
You're telling me that?
You think of Uganda all the time. I know.
Go see for yourself what it's like.
I'm with you.
[driver] Everything is in ruins, but it is still heaven.
The good soil of Uganda, it is the same.
Welcome back, bwana.
[all shouting]
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
I'm looking for Okelo. Okelo Omorro. He used to teach here.
Okelo? Okelo died.
Many years ago, in Amin's time.
Around '72. I remember.
Because of all the troubles, the Asian teachers didn't come to school.
And Okelo...
One day he didn't turn up.
How did he die?
Disappeared one day.
They found his body.
Were you his friend?
I'm sorry.
I wrote him so many letters.
Mmm.
[Jay's voice] There is so little love in the world,
and yet so much.
Mina was right.
I never said goodbye to him.
Now he's dead, Kinnu.
[blues harmonica playing]
Since I've been back, I've thought so much of you.
Which is why I say, to hell with the lawsuit.
Home is where the heart is.
And my heart is with you.
