We've been eating this four days in a row.

I'm too little to use the stove.
No, you're not.
You're never too little. Right? I was cooking at her age.

I'm putting my mind to McDonald's,
I don't see it on my plate.

All right.
Everybody close your eyes.
Come on.
Now, imagine...
you hear a frying pan sizzling.
And you can smell some thick-cut bacon,
the best kind from the butcher.
And there's some potatoes and some fried chicken
that was cooked in that bacon grease.
And next to it,
is a big glass of orange juice.
It's cold, with the pulp just floating at the top,

So $65 is for electricity,

Nope, I don't want you using your fingers.
Come on, concentrate.
$355?
It's Sunday. What're you testing him for?
Let him live.
ERIC: Well, I went jumping today.
I jumped higher than everybody, even Malik.
Is that right?
How'd you even make these?
GRANDMA: When me and Gordon first moved in,
all we wanted was a little color in the house.
Victoria gave us the fabric.
And I sewed it with that machine
I brought with me from Mississippi.
MALIK: Where in Mississippi?
GRANDMA: Tupelo.
Your grandfather, his parents, my parents,
all of our cousins were born and bred there.
MALIK: But you don't have an accent, Grandma.
GRANDMA: Well, it's pretty much gone now.
You lose it with time.
You miss that place?
Well, every once in a while, it comes back in a dream.
Sometimes, I can...
I can even hear my mama's voice calling me for dinner.
I miss my mama.
I miss the people.
But I do not miss that place, no.
Every time you talk about that place,
it's like poetry.
Well, there's poetry in everything.
It could be nature, it could be speech.
It could be a bird.

Are you ever gonna throw that out?

so that people who don't live here don't get inside.
The whole neighborhood's going under lockdown

So unless you're walking to or from school,
you play inside, okay?
What are we gonna do inside?
Well, there won't be much jumping anymore,

Well, then I will build a boat.

No, not that big.
And it certainly won't have any room for no animals.

Remains discovered by archeologists

The forests that still remain,

are an important link between past and present.
These slender trees continually compete with each other,
reaching upwards towards the sun
with every cell of their immense bodies.
As they fight for the sun's energy,
the trees grow taller and taller.

REVEREND: Many of you have come from all over the neighborhood
to celebrate the life of Dantrell Davis,
a beloved son.
Many of you are wrestling in this darkness
that seems to eclipse all of us.
When I think of the story of Young Dantrell,
a beloved son of this community, a beloved child of God,
my mind goes to the story of another child,
a child born in Bethlehem,
a child raised in the projects of east Nazareth,
a child who was raised by a mother who loved him,
a mother who had to wrestle mightily with the knowledge
that she could not save her son
from that great destiny that was before him.
You see, the path of God
leads us through the crucible of suffering
and persecution of the righteous and the innocent.
The way to the New Jerusalem leads us up a road
upon which our Savior dragged his old wooden cross.
It leads us up a hill called Calvary.
And what happened on Calvary
was not the end of the story,
but it was only the beginning.
ALL: Amen.
MALIK: Why didn't you look at him?
ERIC: 'Cause I don't want to see no dead boy.
MALIK: So many people came to see him.
At least he's in a better place now.
I don't know. I think he just gone.
No ghost or nothing.
Wait, you don't believe in no afterlife?
-Nobody knows. -What about Jesus?
I think he lived,
but I don't know if he ever gonna come back.
How do we know that?
There ain't no afterlife, then what's all this for?
Why's it matter? People die here all the time.
Yeah, but he was little, like really little.
Where else is Dantrell gonna go?
What if he just...
don't go anywhere?
What if he just done?

Sir, you got the wrong house. You...
Not in my baby's... My little girl...

WOMAN: We're ready for you.
Um, David mentioned the senior payroll position,
and that's the one I'd love to put my hat in the ring for.
See, I've been picking up...
more shifts than anyone else here in the department.
So you know I'm really committed to this job.
I just want a chance to advance.
WOMAN: I really think it's the right move for you.
-Yeah? You do? -Absolutely.
I just have one question for you.
You take the bus to work every day. Is that right?
Yeah, I do.
Would you be able to get a car?
Um... no. Why?
Well, the job you're looking at isn't actually here
in our Chicago offices. It's in Peoria.
Oh. [SIGHS] I see.
I'm sorry. He didn't mention that to me.
I don't mean to waste your time.
I really think you should consider it.
You're a great fit,
and it's a significant pay increase.
It's three hours away.
It would be a change.
It would.
You don't have to give me an answer right now.
Talk it over with your family.
When do you need to know by?
Next week.
-[SIGHS] That soon, huh? -I know.
I really hope it works out, Dolores.
Let me know.
Thank you.

DOLORES: You're kidding me, right?
I don't know what you want me to say.
Well, we'd have to move, you know.
We'd have to get a car.
GRANDMA: We'll get a car.
Okay, so we're supposed to move these kids.
That means new schools. They'd have to make new friends.
Baby, they're stronger than you think.
You adjusted when me and your daddy
moved up from Tupelo.
But, Ma, they're rooted here.
Just because I plant them someplace new,
don't mean that they'll flourish.
But this ain't about the kids.
It's about you, baby.
What you're afraid of.
You've been saving that.
Yeah.
For this moment.
Listen to me, baby girl.
If you don't grow,
these babies won't.
It's time.
ERIC: I was looking for you.
I'm always here.
[SIGHS]
Can you see it?
MALIK: No.
Sometimes it don't work.
Maybe I gotta be asleep or dreaming or something.
ERIC: You get dreams?
Sometimes.
You ever had a dream that felt so real,
you thought you was awake?
MALIK: Did you?
Yeah. There was this one time
when my dad was cooking a big turkey in the oven.
And it had stuffing and gravy, everything.
Me and Amber was just making the house nice.
Then the doorbell rang.
So I went up to answer it.
When I opened the door...
it was my mom.
You saw your mama?
I knew it was her.
That's how I knew it wasn't real.
She's watching over you.
-I feel sorry for her if she is. -Why?
Not much to see.
Eric, you ever think about
what it would be like outside of here?
Why? This is where we from.
We were born here. We live here and we die here.
But you ain't never been nowhere else.
You could always dream, think about other places.
All right, then, what you dream about?
Like, where do you wanna be?
It's always a house.
With two stories.
And on the first floor, is a big living room
with a bunch of couches and a TV.
Brand-new kitchen.
Everybody got their own room,
so me and Dee ain't gotta share no more.
And Mama,
she got her own garden so she can grow tomatoes.
House so big, we get lost inside.
All right, now.
First off, stories?
Come on. We got 16 of 'em.
And tomatoes?
Dude, you don't even cook.
It's just a dream, Eric. It ain't real.
Man, I don't get you.
-Where are you going? -Finna go home.
[WIND BLOWING]
[DOOR OPENS]
-Hey. -Hey.
Grandma, why you move here?
Out of all the places you could have gone.
You know, your granddaddy, Gordon,
oh, that man loved the sun.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Loved the South.
Tupelo.
He had a shoe store.
And when that got burned, we knew we had to go.
We knew it was time.
So we just got on the train
and came to Chicago.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
And when we first moved in here,
families would be out here with their kids,
and they'd be treatin' this like a giant porch.
Everybody knew each other's name.
Everybody was family.
[KIDS SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY IN DISTANCE]
[EXHALES]
You know, we always wanted
better for your mama.
That's why we moved here.
That's why we came here.

You know, it's a miracle that you're not failing more classes.
But if you gotta cheat to get ahead,

You gonna be the first person in this family

They're moving?
AMBER: Ms. Johnson's leaving?
ERIC'S DAD: What?
With everything that's been going on,
they're moving out.
Malik didn't tell you?
No.
-Son. -[DOOR CLOSES]
What's up, man? You hungry?
No, I don't want no food.
-Okay. -So you moving?
That's what my dad told me, that you leaving.
She just started looking.
But you was dreaming about it before it happened.
'Cause you told her, 'cause you want to leave.
-I didn't say anything. -Do you want to leave?
-Eric. -Leave me alone.
[WATER DRIPPING]
Can't sleep either?
Faucet keeps me up.
Mm. Me, too.
What's going on? Talk to me.
How do you say goodbye to somebody?
I don't know that you ever really do.
I mean, you...
you always carry them in your heart wherever you go.
Such a big world out there.
So much I wanna do.
I have this dream.
It's always about this train taking me away from here.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
Where does it take you?
I think it takes me to Mississippi.
With my people.
Our people aren't there anymore, baby.
-No? -Mm-hmm.
We're from Chicago. Cabrini-Green.
Although we could take a train somewhere else, someplace new.
All I want is a house.
Two floors.
And outside, there's a garden.
Big garden.
Where you can grow tomatoes.
DOLORES: Hmm.
A garden. And some tomatoes.
MALIK: Mm-hmm.
What else?
A house.
House so big,
me and Dee ain't gotta share a room no more.
Yeah.
Definitely getting a little too big for that.
I want you all to write about where you're from.
One paragraph, five sentences. Write more if you want.
And there's only one computer,
so everyone's gonna take turns this week.
[KIDS CHATTERING]

MALIK: When the snow falls in Chicago,
it's like a blanket.
The whole city falls asleep.
It's quiet.
And nobody makes a sound.
I wait for so long for the snow to melt,
I grow old.
The sun finally comes out.
And it looks like the lake is on fire.
[TYPING]
Me and Eric,
we've done everything together since we were born.
This is what I know.
We saw it together.
We lived it.
We grew up together.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
A place is the people.
This is where we from.
MALIK: This is where we're from.
[PRINTER WHIRRING]

-What are you doing? -"When the snow falls in Chicago
"it's like the whole city falls asleep."

"The sun comes out, it's like the lake is on fire."
Why you acting so weird about it?
-Man, stop. -"Me and..."
What are you doing? Give it back.
Why'd you write this?
'Cause it's true.
Take it out.
No. Why would I do that?
You're just mad 'cause I'm leaving.
'Cause I'm leaving and you're not.
-BOY: Oh, my God! -Oh, my God, Malik!
Are you okay?
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
ERIC: Can I see him?
DOLORES: He's resting right now, baby.
Maybe just come back tomorrow.
Can we pray together?
Come on.
Heavenly Father, watch over us, your children.

DOLORES: Thank you for all that you do,
and continue to do every single day, God.
GRANDMA: And grant that we may mend all that is broken.
ALL: And grant that we may mend all that is broken.
DOLORES: We ask that you continue to walk with us,
continue to live in our hearts, dear Lord.
ERIC: Heavenly Father,
I pray that Malik gets his house.
A house with two stories.
A house so big, he gets lost inside.
Somewhere far away from here.
A place with lots of trees.
A place where he can jump.
Where he'll have new friends.
Where he can be happy.
GRANDMA: In Jesus' name we pray.
ALL: In Jesus' name we pray.
GRANDMA: Amen.
ALL: Amen.
[KID LAUGHING]
DOLORES: Yeah, did we save some of the newspaper?
And shouldn't those photo albums
be in the box with the other ones?
Will you mark them?
These aren't marked. We gotta mark the boxes.
ERIC'S DAD: Didn't I already give you graduation money?
That was the graduation fee. Cap and gown fee are separate.
We only owe $20.
Here you go.
Small price to pay for ya'll to come
to my graduation this summer.
I gotta run.
Well, I'm proud of you. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[SIGHS] So you know Dolores called me and said
they're leaving on Thursday.
Have you talked to Malik yet?
I don't think he wanna see me right now.
What are you talking about? He's your friend.
Don't you want to talk to him before he's gone?
Look, it honestly don't matter who started it,
or who's right or wrong.
But he mad at me.
Okay. Maybe he is mad at you.
Or maybe he's waiting on you to apologize.
But I'm scared to talk to him.
[SIGHS] Look, son.
We don't get a lot of time here on earth.
Like, tomorrow is not promised at all.
Never in a million years...
did I think your mother'd be gone.
Or I wouldn't be able to get up and talk to her, give her a hug.
I took for granted that time, and now it's gone.
And once that time is gone,
there's no way to get it back.
You understand what I'm saying, right?
Look.
I trust you're gonna make the right decision.
You're not a baby anymore. You're grown now.
And you know right from wrong.
You got this, all right?

牧師：你們很多人都來了 來自社區各處
慶祝生命 丹特雷爾戴維斯,
一個心愛的兒子。

當我想到這個故事時 年輕的丹特雷爾，
這個社區心愛的兒子， 上帝所愛的孩子，
我的注意力集中在故事上 另一個孩子的，
一個出生在伯利恆的孩子，
在計畫中長大的孩子 拿撒勒東部，
一個被撫養長大的孩子 有一位愛他的母親，
一位不得不摔角的母親 強大的知識
她無法拯救她的兒子
從那偉大的命運 那是在他面前。
你看，神的道路
帶領我們透過 苦難的熔爐
以及對義人的迫害 和無辜者。
通往新耶路撒冷的路 帶領我們走上一條路
我們的救主拖著它 祂的舊木十字架。
它帶領我們爬上一座小山 稱為加略山。
加略山發生了什麼
故事還沒結束，

我想他活著，
但我不知道 如果他能回來的話。
我們怎麼知道這一點？
沒有來世， 那這一切是為了什麼？
為什麼這很重要？ 這裡總是有人死。
是啊，不過他還小， 真的很少。
丹特雷爾還能去哪裡？
如果他只是...
哪裡也不去？
如果他剛剛做了怎麼辦？
