LOUELLA: What’s wrong? You mad about something?

ALBERT: I’ll talk to you later. (He leaves LOUELLA, goes into the house)

LOUELLA: (Coming out of the house) All them folks a-coming here! Will you look at that!

COOTER: I want a pop!

LOUELLA: Put your shirt-tail in and button your overalls.

(LETTIE arrives as GRANNY, in a clean blue dress, steps out with her canes. She grunts with each step)LETTIE: I got the measuring tape! Ain’t that your burial dress, Granny!

GRANNY: Ain’t no burial dress if I still walkin.

HARDWAY: Hey, Prince! Here I am! You want to start right off?

(GRANNY watches as they all pace back and forth and around the house, measuring, chalking marks, writing on the pad, and singing.)

COOTER: Why’nt we over at them white folks fireworks? We Americans too.

ALBERT: Not like them we ain’t.

AUGUSTUS: Anybody here vote? (They shake their heads)

PREACHER TOM: They celebrating Independence from England, Freedom, 1776. We ain’t much part of it.

HARDWAY: We ain't really free yet, so we find our own ways to be independent.

COOTER: What’s yours, Hardway? (The GROUP hums, claps rhythm behind testimony)

HARDWAY: Say I’m in a barn down in Lousiana, front of a long table with a “Casino Craps” layout: aces, boxcars at thirty to one, hard tens, eights, sixes. Fifteen to one on any seven. Pass-no-pass all around. It’s a work of art!

PREACHER TOM: Sinner’s coat of arms!

HARDWAY: I put a twenty on “pass,” and I throw 4 and 3. Yeah! Leave it, roll seven again. Don’t touch it! 5 and 2. Leave it! My point’s, eight, bam! 4 and 4. Stay on pass. Eleven, another seven. Another point, and on my eleventh coming out, I throw eleven. November elevens’s my birthday! Eleven- eleven is when I’m done. What I pick up, friends, is forty thousand, nine hundred and sixty dollars! There’s my Independence Day!

PREACHER: The day I went in that Seminary school God been watching and looking. I can’t see him, but can’t shake him neither! He’s there, checking my sins, judging my private ways. If I get my own woman, sanctified and pure, He’ll cut me slack, not watching no more. That’s my freedom! There’s my Independence Day!

AUGUSTUS: (touching on some painful memories) Doing how I choose, set my own clock, pick my own work, my own play. I been told when to rise and when to shine from age four by someone I called “Daddy” who wasn’t mine, and by daddies with stripes and bars through that whole World War. I got bugle blues. My Independence be doing how I want, with them off my back and off my mind.

ALBERT: Everybody know what I want this year. (The men respond overlapping one another)

HARDWAY: Paint that house!

AUGUSTUS: A white house.

PREACHER TOM: Moon Mansion.

ALBERT: How I get it maybe end your bugle blues too, Augustus..

AUGUSTUS: How’s that, Prince?

ALBERT: You don’t control nothing ‘less you own it. You want to wake–up, get your own clock. You want to leave town quick, you need wheels. I got to own that house to paint it mine. You be my partner, Augustus, and we buy that farm, we own it, and you got a friend with you, and for you forever. Join together is how we get our Independence!

AUGUSTUS: I’m in. Whatever much you need, brother, to pay-down, it’s yours.

ALBERT: (Exultant. Taking Augustus’s hand) Hey now! Mr. Tittle just cross that pasture. I go get him and find out!

PREACHER TOM: Hold up now! Did I hear right? You think you gonna buy that house, and land, and paint it? You the cow jumpin over the moon! Where in twenty miles around here you ever see a black man own a white man’s plantation?

ALBERT: There’s black men own farms all over. I knew three near Greenville.

PREACHER: Maybe in Coon Park you seen it. Not in no White Folks Manor! You think Mr. Tittle gonna sell you a farm here in his back yard?

ALBERT: I reckon he might.

PREACHER TOM: Mr Tittle’s a good landlord, but he ain’t the Tooth Fairy. You fight the whole town, you gonna lose every battle. Stop scheming how to trick them.

ALBERT: You no soldier. What d’you know 'bout battles? Just let me be!

PREACHER TOM: Prince, listen – I know your family hurting now -- no furnish from the store,ain't had a piece of cheese in weeks, even running out of laundry soap and lamp oil.
