Quotes
-
Thomas : [Noemi prepares a bowl of stew for Thomas] Oh, no, don't go wasting your supplies on me, ma'am. You just just keep them children fed. You fed, too.
Noemi : I would have no supplies if it weren't for you.
Thomas : [doffs his hat and receives the bowl, Noemi sits at Thomas' feet watching him eat] What're you doing?
Noemi : Watching.
Thomas : Don't do that.
Noemi : Why not?
Thomas : [contemplative] Marrying a black man ain't gonna solve your problems, ma'am. It's gonna create a whole bunch of new ones.
Noemi : [smiles] This is free country.
Thomas : There's degrees of free, ma'am.
Noemi : What does that mean? Government can tell me who to love?
Thomas : Your government says you can't swim. Can't protect yourself. Damn right government can tell you who to love. And how to love 'em. They shouldn't. But they can.
Noemi : Then we go somewhere they can't.
Thomas : [chuckles with a faint smile, slightly shakes his head] Ma'am, you don't want nuthin' to do with me. I'm too old. Too set in my ways. I don't like talking. I like sleeping outside and I like bathing in a river. That ain't what a woman wants.
Noemi : Men have no idea what women want.
Thomas : [chuckles] Can't argue that.
Noemi : Know why? Because they never ask.
Thomas : What do you want?
Noemi : I want to watch you eat.
Thomas : [grumbles relentingly and takes another spoonful] Okay.
