John Prentice: You listen to me. You say you don't want
to tell me how to live my life. So what do you think you've been doing?
You tell me what rights I've got or haven't got, and what I owe to you
for what you've done for me. Let me tell you something. I owe you
nothing! If you carried that bag a million miles, you did what you're
supposed to do! Because you brought me into this world. And from that
day you owed me everything you could ever do for me like I will owe my
son if I ever have another. But you don't own me! You can't tell me
when or where I'm out of line, or try to get me to live my life according
to your rules. You don't even know what I am, Dad, you don't know who I
am. You don't know how I feel, what I think. And if I tried to explain
it the rest of your life you will never understand. You are 30 years
older than I am. You and your whole lousy generation believes the way it
was for you is the way it's got to be. And not until your whole
generation has lain down and died will the dead weight be off our backs!
You understand, you've got to get off my back!
Dad... Dad, you're my father. I'm your son. I love you. I
always have and I always will. But you think of yourself as a colored
man. I think of myself as a man.
