Your rating:
COALHOUSE I said, no music. COALHOUSE FOLLOWER He's here. COALHOUSE Bring him in. What is it you want? YOUNGER BROTHER I...I...I want to...I know that if... EMMA He wanted to say: I am here because I have to be. He wanted to say: I am here for what is right. Every day I wake up knowing What you've lost and what is owing. I would shed this skin if I could To stand with you and fight. He wanted to say: YOUNGER BROTHER I am not who I appear to be. EMMA He wanted to say: YOUNGER BROTHER Don not blame me for my past. BOTH We different lives and faces But our hearts have common places. This was deep inside me And you helped me find it at last. EMMA Two men meeting For a moment in the darkness COALHOUSE One turning from... YOUNGER BROTHER One waking to... ALL THREE ...America! Two men finding FOr a moment in the darkness... YOUNGER BROTHER & COALHOUSE They're the same. EMMA They're the same. COALHOUSE'S MEN He wanted to say: COALHOUSE I envy you your innocence. EMMA & COALHOUSE'S MEN He wanted to say: YOUNGER BROTHER By your side, I could be brave. If there's such a thing as justice, Let me help you find you justice. This I do for you and for Sarah Who lies in her grave... EMMA & MEN But all he said was... YOUNGER BROTHER I know how to blow things up... EMMA & COALHOUSE'S MEN Two men meeting For a moment In the darkness. For a moment In the darkness.
