(To HAYWOOD.) The Governor of Alabama will see you now in his chambers. Well, don’t make the Governor wait.
GOVERNOR (INTERLOCUTOR)
MR. PATTERSON, I UNDERSTAND
YOU WISH TO CONFESS
TO THIS TERRIBLE CRIME
ZAT SO?
SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ (MR. BONES)
SAY YES.
HAYWOOD
NO!
GOVERNOR (INTERLOCUTOR)
Mr. Patterson. I don’t think you heard me correctly. You people sometimes don’t understand what you’ve been asked. It’s
because you don’t listen. So let’s try this again.
YOU NOW ADMIT
YOU COMMITTED THIS RAPE
WHICH YOU’VE BEEN DENYING ALL ALONG
ZAT RIGHT?
SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ (MR. BONES)
THAT’S RIGHT
HAYWOOD
WRONG
SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ (MR. BONES)
Haywood, what are you doing?!
GOVERNOR (INTERLOCUTOR)
NOW BOY
IT’S INCREASINGLY CLEAR
YOU DON’T COMPREHEND
EXACTLY WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE
SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ (MR. BONES)
What’s happening is you’re gonna rot in jail!
GOVERNOR (INTERLOCUTOR)
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE
THIS IS THE VERY LAST TIME
I ASK IF YOU’RE GUILTY
OF COMMITTING THIS HORRIBLE CRIME
SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ (MR. BONES)
Say yes!
Say yes!
GOVERNOR (INTERLOCUTOR)
Say yes!
HAYWOOD
NO!
NO!
NO!
GOVERNOR (INTERLOCUTOR)
YOU LEAVE ME BOY NO OTHER COURSE
YOU’RE BELLIGERENT, WITHOUT REMORSE
YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU NEVER WILL CONFESS?
ZAT SO?
SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ (MR. BONES)
SAY NO!
SAY NO!
HAYWOOD
YES!
GOVERNOR (INTERLOCUTOR)
There goes your freedom, son! There goes your freedom!
HAYWOOD
IT AIN’T FOR YOU TO SAY I’M FREE
IN MY MIND
IN MY MIND
IN MY OWN MIND
I’M FREE! I’M FREE! I’M FREE!
GOVERNOR (INTERLOCUTOR)
You’re not free! The truth is, Haywood, you’re going back to jail for a very long time. Any final words?
