We just got to keep our heads, get through this harvest and figure out what's next. Tell you what though, that baby, he's our child. He's our child, period.
Violet
Today marks the first harvest on Bordelon land in, I don't know, three years. There's been more than a few times since we planted that I didn't think we'd get here. We came through storms, white fly, anything man and God could put in front of us, and still he leads us through. I know my mom would be proud, and my pop, Ernest Bordelon. I was trying to live out the vision he saw for me and…
Ralph Angel
I only wanted two things, 'Wood. To be a good father and a good farmer. I'll try and be at least one today.
Ralph Angel
Darla: Nothing's changed. Nothing has to change.
Hollywood: With all due respect, Darla, you're smarter than that.
Darla: I didn't mean to hurt you all. I wanted just the opposite. I tried to keep all of this away from you guys.
Hollywood: Then why didn't you? Why didn't you just keep it to yourself?
Darla: My parents came and things stirred up. It didn't feel right to continue to keep this from him. I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, and I just, I just couldn't go through with the wedding without him knowing everything. That wouldn't have been right.
Hollywood: Yeah, well, ain't none of it right. Not one damn bit.
Charley: You've been bald face lying to my whole family for nearly seven years.
Darla: I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
Charley: There's no trust here anymore, Darla. I will give you two weeks severance.
Darla: I'm sorry.
Charley: Be gone within the hour.
We're all blessed, that's a given, but I'm here to check on you so I'm asking how you are feeling, beyond blessed, please.
Nova
I want to hold Blue. I raised that baby from diapers to kindergarten like he was my own son.
Violet
Violet: It was like Blue made up for all the wrong that Ralph Angel did in the past, to know that he could make such goodness. I guess, nothing lasts.
Nova: Blue is good and whatever we have with him will always last.
Dr. Shore: These things have been accepted for a very long time because they're part of our history.
Micah: Yeah, yes, Dr. Shore, but symbols of a shameful past shouldn't be displayed in a position of honor.
Dr. Shore: You made that quite clear in your letter. Have you ever read much of John Adams? He said the jaws of power are always open to devour, stretched out to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking and writing.
Micah: Right, but it kind of makes it sound like it was okay to write what I wrote.
Dr. Shore: Freedom of speech is a friend of change and we needed that change around here. I wanted you to be the first to know the sword will be removed along with the other Confederate artifacts, but the school board took issue with the unapproved posting of that letter on school property. In their eyes, it's vandalism. The decision was suspension for 30 days.
Micah: A month?
Dr. Shore: There's a fine line here Micah, and you crossed it. Next time, be more careful.
Charley: After this though it will be something else and something after that. I miscalculated their greed.
Remy: Fine, and now it's time to do new math. Now we've got to get out to remaining farms and talk to folks together, cause sitting here is nothing but a pity party. One of the greatest gifts you got from your father is your fight, both of you. Charley, fight back.
