The Butler (2013) Edit

A blind eye to what we'd done to our own.

A few of them, like John Lewis, they're still...

A full kitchen staff, including pastry chef and three full time calligraphers.

A goddamn fly, a goddamn fly in here.

A great change is at hand.

A Secret Serviceman has been...

A whole 'nother wave of n**** students

About everything Louis and his friends had done.

About that Kennedy boy. I'm sure he's a real nice fellow.

After all these guys that come after you?

After your long journey here from Buffalo.

Against the segregation of black Americans.

Aiding the oppression of black South Africans is absolutely consistent

Ain't no good can come of that.

Ain't no kids in the house no more.

Ain't no need for that, Carter.

Ain't nobody done nothing to spite you.

Ain't nobody trying to smell that stankin' okra.

Ain't ready for all them highfalutin white people,

Ain't that the truth? Or something.

All graduations are long. She was so nosy.

All puffed up.

All right, kids. It's show time.

All right, man.

All right, then.

All their fancy words.

All things are possible...

All you got to do is smile pretty,

Although we have started our own political party.

American citizen. What you talking about?

And a man will forget everything he ever learned.

And CNN can now project that Barack Obama, 47 years old,

And dill bring up the flavor.

And don't put that next to my jarred okra either.

And equal opportunities.

And even if you slow down, I got you.

And even though Miss Annabeth never said it,

And focus on their lessons.

And guess what? It's the butler's money.

And help me keep them n****es off the street.

And I did just that.

And I didn't know where I fit in.

And I didn't understand why we were there in the first place.

And I just don't think that's right, Mr. Warner.

And I knew I'd lived my life with those same two faces.

And I nodded my head, and the next thing I knew,

And I want it on the table right now.

And I'll tell you what. Next time there's a light on in an empty room,

And I'm coughing and strangling,

And it's very difficult for the colored staff to be promoted.

And move the new one in.

And not be punished for it.

And not just any white man, either.

And not to be laying up here in the gutter with you.

And now you asking for a job?

And our ground troops cannot go into...

And our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution,

And presumably we'll be able to see what's...

And presumably we'll be able to see what's...

And quiet when you're serving.

And send you on your way.

And soul and spirit of our national will.

And that's exactly what's gonna happen.

And the Irish, they certainly know how to make a great whiskey.

And then he told me I was the best mother

And then I went down... I didn't even get nothing to drink!

And then their weapons are weapons,

And then they're gonna throw your little ass in the river.

And there ain't nothing we can do about it.

And there are some big ones, especially California,

And those states have been going Democratic

And we are measuring our accomplishments in waves, right?

And we shall overcome.

And we're gonna employ it right here, in Nashville.

And what you asking me about it for? You never home.

And when you come back, I want you to get me some fish food.

And whup the both of us.

And why y'all need self defense?

And, please, don't tell Nancy.

Anticipate.

Any white man could kill any of us at any time

Anybody could ever want.

Appreciate the love and the woman that you are, like I do.

Are they getting involved in politics, too?

Are you all right?

Are you even in school?

Are you listening to us?

Are you political, Mr. Gaines?

Are you ready to kill somebody, Carol?

Are you still fussing about Louis?

Are you sure about this?

Arrests were made in mass lots.

As he drove from Dallas airport to downtown Dallas...

As members of the n**** community, what are your biggest concerns?

As most stay on for 30 years or more.

As the White House maître d', I normally hire the butler.

As we are a nation under God, so I am sworn...

At announced police officers,

At least we got it a little better in DC, huh?

At least you tell your wife what's going on over there.

At Little Rock, Arkansas.

Baby, you need... to move that to the other side.

Baby?

Baby?

Back in Macon, I'm a house ******, a good one.

Back there stinking up my bathroom.

Bailiff, get these ******s out of here.

Be a real contender for the President of the United States.

Beautiful.

Because I read in Woman's Day, where pickles drown out the flavor

Been an honor serving you.

Before you start asking difficult questions like that?

Being at the White House, and you need a man that can

Being with a man like you's.

Belonged to the president.

Black entrepreneurs, pass the buck on desegregation to the courts.

Black people are being beaten, tortured,

Blitzed by the original attack.

Bobby told the president

Bobby told the president

Boy didn't even go to his own brother's funeral.

Boy gets elected to Congress...

Boy, I told you we was gonna be late!

Boys, y'all better bring y'all little narrow butts down here!

Boys! Get on down here! I need to see your face now!

Bring a smile to the eyes...

Bring down my sewing kit, 'cause I need to do some alterations.

Brother just handling his business.

Buck, I smell your ass from here! What the hell are you waiting for?!

Buried my daddy right over there.

Bus can wait.

But a United States racial issue.

But do you really want that spoiled rich son of a bitch fuck

But he won't fix your roof.

But his movies have him fighting for equal rights.

But I also knew she wanted me to leave that place.

But I believe the French have a distinct advantage

But I didn't go. I wasn't gonna give money to pay for my son to be killed.

But I never imagined I'd see...

But I think he's doing that freedom riding thing.

But I'm trying not to be so scared anymore.

But if Faubus continues to block the n**** children, then what do we do?

But if you're unhappy with your salary or position,

But it needs a patience that none of us have ever seen.

But my staff has been trying to get me to stop.

But now her only job was raising our two boys.

But really it's all of us...

But the pain in my heart never went away.

But the president prefers for me to serve him personally.

But the white people's best friend is dead.

But then when you align things properly,

But there is also a machine gun down the street to the left.

But these camps went on for 200 years

But you and that White House can kiss my ass.

But you're the best butler here.

But your mama, she wants you home.

But... now it's time to take the next step, which is politics.

Butler positions rarely open,

By being hardworking and trustworthy.

By being white. By acting white.

Bye, Claramay.

Bye, Louis.

Bye, Mama.

Bye.

C'est vrai?

Call me back.

Call the NAACP, CORE and whoever else

Can I get you a glass of champagne, Mr. Gaines?

Can't be a king in your own castle.

Carol, are you tired?

Cecil, come back here, boy.

Cecil, get me some of that goddamned prune juice.

Cecil, he's been arrested 16 times over the past two years.

Cecil, he's been arrested 16 times over the past two years.

Cecil, what do you think about ******s going to school with white children?

Cecil, you hear me talking to you.

Cecil?

Cecil?

Cecil?

Celebrate.

Charlie, don't do this. Don't do this.

Charlie, shut up.

Charlie.

City police were carrying out their pledge

Come here.

Come on, Dad.

Come on, man.

Come on, Robert, let's go.

Come on, y'all. Come on, come on, come on.

Come on.

Come on. Follow me.

Come on. Here we go.

Coming in here, saying whatever you want.

Coming in, trying to tell me what to do.

Community protection.

Cookie?

Crazy ******, from the left.

Cut the shit and let's get to work.

Dad, you heard what Mama said?

Daddy, Louis going to the White House.

Damn right, Cecil. Damn right.

Dang... Got the popcorn all over the sofa.

Dedication, discipline and focus.

Did you ever complete school, Cecil?

Did you ever love me, baby?

Did you get the memos we sent last week?

Did you see one white kid in my school?

Did you take Charlie to the dentist today?

Didn't you say you got to pee? Go on, then.

Didn't you tell me that Dr. King told the president

Didn't your father ever teach you any better?

Directing the use of troops under federal authority

Do they go to an all colored school?

Do they teach you that with the Panthers?

Do you have any children?

Do you understand? You understand?

Do you, uh...

Does just as much work as the white staff,

Don't be nervous, man. Just go on and get to it.

Don't be shy.

Don't come here with this bullshit crazy talk.

Don't go stomping up the stairs, wake your mama up.

Don't start something in there.

Don't worry, Dad, we'll be out of here in a few hours.

Don't you ever use that word, son.

Don't you lose your temper with that man.

Don't you worry about, Ronnie. I'll take care of that.

Dr. King has been a buffer the last two years,

Dr. King, you might want to lie down with that fever.

Dr. King's philosophy ultimately got him murdered.

Dr. Martin Luther King, the apostle of non violence

Drunk.

During the inauguration ceremony, to move the old president out

Earl Warren should be shot and hanged.

Elroy, ain't nobody asked you nothing.

Elroy! Get over here. Come here.

Emphasizes the extreme viciousness of the Black Panther Party.

Even as I stand at this hour,

Even though I gave you the money.

Even though it was three years ago.

Ever been on a freedom bus before?

Ever. Could cause another Civil War.

Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote.

Every gray hair I have is 'cause of that boy.

Every night to see where we'd be voting for Barack Obama.

Every time I do, Cecil get all riled up.

Everybody went to church to raise money for the kids down in Selma.

Everyone charged with the same offense...

Everyone says you're the man that got them raises and promotions.

Everything ain't a joke.

Everything kind of works out.

Everything you are and everything you have is...

Excited about not going back.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Faubus promised me the guards would escort the kids in.

Feed them more than she feed me.

Fighting to save the soul of our country.

Fill your britches out. Just remember where I found you.

First, a barrage of cover fire,

Fisk is a really good school, Dad.

For a well dressed, young white man seen running from the scene.

For all that time, the black help

For his own people and others,

For it was sickness, not meanness, that killed him.

Forget it. You're ignorant.

Forgive me for saying this, Mr. Fallows.

Four years. That's what makes you a little bit gullible, darling.

Free Mandela!

Free Mandela! Free Mandela! Free Mandela!

Free medical clinics, free clothing, self defense classes.

Gandhi has demonstrated for us that the brown man,

Gentlemen, the president's arriving.

Gentlemen, this here is different. We could start another Civil War.

Get back over here.

Get it, Gloria.

Get off! Get off!

Get on down here, Charlie! Wash your hands.

Get that education.

Get up and do the dishes 'fore I shoot your little ass.

Get up, ******. Get up!

Get up, you ******! Look at me!

Get up! Get up, you ******! Look at me! Look at me!

Get up.

Get you some!

Girl, you must be so proud of Cecil.

Girl, you up in that house now! I want to hear all the stories.

Girlfriend belching at the table.

Give Faubus more time.

Give me a cigarette, and don't tell me you don't smoke.

Give me more.

Give me my wig! What's wrong with you?!

Give me some money.

Give that to somebody.

Giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities

Gloria and I met working at the Excelsior.

Gloria and I would walk to our polling place

Gloria looked so happy, but I didn't feel the same way.

Gloria...

Go back to Texas and run the country from a dirt shack if I have to.

Goddamn tinderbox of ****** rage just waiting to explode!

Good evening, Mr. Vice President.

Good. Time to go.

Got a better plan in place than Dr. King.

Got about 25 to 30 coming.

Got all confused.

Got killed down there, trying to get colored folks registered to vote.

Governor Connally of Texas in the car with him was also shot.

Governor of Arkansas lied, Mr. President.

Gunned down in the middle of the street.

Guy down on 8th Street, caught him in bed with his wife.

Half of our oil is now imported...

Happy birthday to you.

Has been paid a smaller salary than the white help.

Has been taken from us by hatred and bitterness.

Has ever been promoted to the engineer's office.

Hattie, come on, I need your help in the shed.

Have a good time.

Have a seat.

Have been building up to scenes with clashes, like this.

Have you lost your mind, man? Did you read Hoover's last memo on that?

Hawaii, that's where Barack Obama was born.

He asking for some money?

He can still do the splits, I'll tell you.

He crazy like his mama.

He did. Is the Dodgers still... still losing?

He drives me crazy. He just... Ugh!

He found me on the kitchen floor.

He had hit me with a baseball bat.

He just got his master's! What more you want him to do?

He just won the Academy Award.

He must be paying you top dollar, huh, boss?

He must be used to it.

He offered me a job as a butler.

He oversees operations for the entire White House.

He refuses to play in any country that recognizes Franco's regime.

He said he wasn't going to get beat no more, so...

He said he's gonna be here for us.

He should be hurting, Carter.

He slowly tears down racial hatred

He take you to the White House yet?

He told me to tell you to take this up with him, personally.

He was a hero,

He was saying all that stuff about house n****es.

He wasn't no older than Louis. He was 14 at the time.

He's a butler.

He's a doctor. What does your dad do?

He's breaking down barriers for all of us.

He's full of shit is what he is. He ain't doing nothing right.

He's in politics.

He's in prison right now in Birmingham with Martin Luther King.

He's the one that cleaned me up.

He's the one with the magazines.

Hello, Gaines' residence.

Hello.

Hello.

Here comes Warner.

Here we go.

Here you are, Mr. President.

Here. Want you to take this box and put it in the basement.

Here's the Entrance Hall.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Elroy.

Hey, hey, LBJ!

Hey, hey, LBJ!

Hey, I made you a birthday cake.

Hey, Louis, man, that little ****a might be onto something.

Hey, Louis.

Hey, there he is! Heard you were coming.

Hey, you. Get some of the hands to help dig a hole for his pa.

Hey! That's what I'm talking about.

Hey! Whoo!

Hey.

Hey. Hey, Cecil. Cecil, what's wrong?

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Dad. I'm in Mississippi.

Hi, Louis.

Hi. Where are you?

His teeth fall out, waiting on you to take him.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hold on, is that some cotton?

Holloway, come on.

Honey, when you gonna take me to the White House?

Honey, you think the president ought to do something

Honey?

Hotels, restaurants, theaters,

How are your boys, Cecil?

How come Louis' wife named that child...

How come?

How do you measure these things?

How do you not have a boyfriend?

How long y'all been dating?

How many kids did you kill today?!

How many kids did you kill today?!

How many kids we got coming to the breakfast tomorrow morning?

How many pairs of shoes does she have?

How many pairs of shoes she got?

How much did he lose by?

How much to say, when you cross the line.

How the hell do I know?

How you avoid all that sex in prison?

How you expect me to believe you was down at the numbers spot?

How's Gloria doing with that drinking?

How's your boy doing, Cecil?

Hurry up!

I ain't starting it, I just don't know what kind of name that is.

I also feel that we should have...

I am so... I'm so sick of these numbers spot stories, Howard.

I am therefore asking the Congress

I am.

I appreciate it.

I been fixing to trying to see him.

I believe he might be in Selma.

I believe that our salaries should reflect our service, sir.

I bet you wish I spoke French, just like Jackie.

I brought you all something.

I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it.

I came here to protest with you.

I can't see any situation where I'd send federal troops to the South.

I can't tell you if I walked off the bus

I cannot believe you are still talking about Howard University.

I cannot even allow hate to enter my heart at this time,

I care about what goes on in this house.

I certainly wouldn't want to be hired under circumstances

I could cut back them long hours at the White House.

I could see the two faces the butlers wore to survive.

I couldn't.

I dated a girl once. Every time I hit her, she shit herself.

I didn't expect to hear from you on my birthday.

I didn't go to school, Mr. President.

I didn't know how.

I didn't know if I was gonna get home alive.

I didn't know if my boy was dead or alive.

I didn't know that an old man could feel so lost.

I didn't mean to make fun of your hero.

I don't care nothing about Louis being pissed.

I don't care what goes on in that house.

I don't drink.

I don't even want to hear you breathe.

I don't know how many stories you gonna hear,

I don't know how my oldest is, Mr. President.

I don't know what country I'm looking at.

I don't know, maybe he got what he deserved.

I don't proclaim to know everything. But I promise you...

I don't talk about your dad, all right?

I don't think God meant for people to not have a family.

I don't understand. I don't understand why he can't

I don't want to say anything negative

I don't, but you know what I mean.

I feel rich right now. I like the way that tastes.

I forgot where I put my Bible.

I got all the cake I want right here.

I got it.

I got it. She's all right.

I got my master's in political science.

I got out of there so we could have us a better life.

I got to go, Dad.

I got to go.

I grew up on a cotton farm.

I grew up on a farm.

I guess I can put up with the name Shaquanda.

I guess I wished we were there for real instead of for show.

I guess you'll be moving on then.

I had always loved sewing. But just felt different now.

I had passed out.

I have today issued an executive order

I have your chicken soup, Mr. President.

I hope it wasn't too presumptuous of me

I just don't feel like doing no disco.

I just need to get my butt home to Gloria.

I just want to be the one to tell you first, that's all.

I just want to know where the man's coming from.

I just want to see you move a little bit. Go ahead.

I just wanted to tell you what an honor it is to meet you, sir.

I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I was 13.

I knew she'd miss me, too.

I knew that Gloria had been unhappy for some time now.

I knew that's probably why she drank.

I know the way.

I know we ain't seen eye to eye,

I know what to make of him.

I know your son is a Freedom Ryder.

I know.

I know. I got an idea.

I like Sidney Poitier, Daddy.

I like that. I like that.

I like to party. What's your party called?

I like to send people money when they write me

I love you more, Gloria.

I love you, Cecil Gaines.

I made sure that they never laid eyes on a cotton field.

I mean, really! Shaquanda?

I mean...

I meant it in a good way.

I might be able to answer that question if Carter over here

I miss you at night, honey.

I need to hear "******" coming out of your mouth.

I never dreamed my life could be so good.

I play a mean... skin flute.

I put a towel down.

I really am.

I received also a wire from President Eisenhower, which says...

I remember that story just like it was yesterday,

I said, how many pairs of shoes does Mrs. Jackie Kennedy have?

I saw you get mad.

I say again.

I say, "I can't."

I see you got... your mark here.

I sometimes fear I'm...

I tend to not be too concerned

I think Judge Warren is going to find that quite challenging.

I think she done that just to spite me.

I think that's bon appétit, everybody.

I think we should go to Shantay's tonight.

I think you ought to call him.

I think you should call him.

I think, about now...

I think... she look just like you.

I told him to hire you.

I told Louis that the president was gonna make things better for us.

I told the president that you'd say that.

I took that job up in Washington, DC.

I understand that sounds provocative, but it's true.

I understand, Mr. President,

I use orange juice when I make 'em,

I want my money back.

I want some scotch.

I want to fight for my country.

I want to know every goddamn domestic policy decision right now,

I want to make myself clear on this issue.

I want to work at the White House just like Mr. Gaines.

I want you out of my house.

I want you to come home.

I want you to go put it on, upstairs.

I want you to listen to me, Louis.

I want your number running ass up out of my house,

I was hungry all the time.

I was on the ground.

I was thinking about taking it, but I don't know.

I will be forced to veto those sanctions.

I will exercise my rights as an American citizen.

I will fire every sorry son of a bitch in this house. I mean it, Cecil!

I wish they'd shut up.

I would have put money on it

I... have a...

I'd do it real quick.

I'd gone to the bathroom all over myself.

I'd like to invite you to the State Dinner next week.

I'll make you some ham sandwiches

I'll play the bongos. What about you?

I'll tell you what I did. I put some dill in it,

I'll tell you what. When I'm president, I'm gonna look into getting you boys

I'll wait for your signature.

I'm Admiral Rochon, the chief usher.

I'm Carter Wilson, head butler. Don't worry about Big Mo behind you.

I'm Cecil Gaines. I'm the new butler.

I'm going to Vietnam.

I'm gonna come out of this thing stronger than ever.

I'm gonna get my purse and...

I'm gonna have to be paid the same as the white help,

I'm gonna have to lie to the boss man about that window.

I'm gonna have you in the house now.

I'm gonna make some potato salad.

I'm gonna snatch the life out of you, boy!

I'm guessing he's pretty beat up, but based on his record,

I'm just fine right here.

I'm just now finding my way around this hotel.

I'm late for work.

I'm not comfortable with all the foreign policy hawks

I'm not gonna remember any of your names, but I'm gonna try.

I'm not just sitting up there sewing for you all day.

I'm not sure what to make of Malcolm X.

I'm not sure. This end, maybe over there?

I'm really proud of you.

I'm really sorry about the president.

I'm sick and tired of getting thrown in jail.

I'm sorry, son.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, ma'am.

I'm talking about you and Isaac.

I'm the one pissed. He ain't been here in three years.

I'm too old to be leaving North Carolina.

I'm trying to change the way n****es...

I'm... I'm through. I told you.

I've been here for over 20 years now.

I've made my decision.

If anybody's uncomfortable with that, you know where the door is.

If Congress passes sanctions against South Africa,

If Congress passes this bill,

If I can't sit at any lunch counter I want,

If it comes to it, yes.

If our only weapon is love,

If someone puts their hands on you, put them in the cemetery.

If there is anyone out there

If we're ever going to thaw this ice.

If you need anything, you call me.

If you want us to shop in this establishment, make them go.

In Birmingham, Alabama, to bring attention to their efforts

In demonstrations, parades and protests.

In his native land, or anywhere that he's being oppressed...

In many ways, they are subversive, without even knowing it.

In our district alone, we have nine percent unemployment.

In presidential contests in recent years.

In the country at large, 14 percent are living below the poverty line.

In the Heat of the Night.

In the Heat... of the Night, with Sidney Poitier.

In the white schools.

Is 'cause two of them were white.

Is not yet known.

Is that cotton?

Is that that Mamie Till stuff?

Is that what you want?

Is that... Louis XIII?

Is there anything else that you would like, Mr. President?

Is there anything else that you would like...

Is, uh, all the rest of the students

It is a crisis that strikes at the very hear':

It is my right to ride that bus. That is my legal right.

It is reported that three bullets rang out.

It is to Vietnamese what old Boston is to Americans,

It really does.

It was a dis damn grace what they did to that boy.

It was a surprise for me, as well.

It was different sitting at the table instead of serving it.

It was in one of them colored newspapers from Baltimore. That all right with you?

It was in one of them colored newspapers from Baltimore. That all right with you?

It was much nicer working in the house than in the field.

It was the first time I ever seen a white man stick his neck out for us.

It was the first time I felt like I didn't belong in my own neighborhood.

It was the most beautiful hotel I'd ever seen.

It was the only world I ever knew.

It worked when we started,

It'd be good if it had a little... a little nipple on it.

It'd be good if it had a little... a little nipple on it.

It's all right.

It's filled With hate.

It's gonna be very difficult to pass another bill anytime soon.

It's just a mess. Be nice.

It's just gonna take some time to adjust, that's all.

It's just so far away, that's all.

It's never gonna happen.

It's the wrong house.

It's time we take a stand against these injustices

It's too scary. They're too young for it.

It's Uncle Tom's money.

It's... It's Gloria, yes?

Its denial is an arbitrary indignity

Jackie Kennedy.

Jackie Robinson or Willie Mays?

James told me that Dr. King told the president

Jessie. It's a good thing you're here 'cause I'm gonna forget.

Jesus Christ.

Jim, I need your help over here.

John and I strongly agree that the time calls for...

Just because.

Just before I put her to sleep.

Just for looking at a white woman.

Just go to bed, Gloria. I'll take him tomorrow.

Just playing with you.

Just set it on the table, Cecil.

Just want to keep him safe.

Keep doing what you doing.

Killing two of them, they raided the apartment...

Lady Bird and I want you to have this.

Let me ask you something, in all candor,

Let me get your ass.

Let me look at her again, then, real good.

Let me make a demonstration for you.

Let me show you the way.

Let me talk to him. Give me that phone.

Like God putting you next door to me,

Look at me, boy.

Look at you.

Look like the jury's still out on that one, right?

Look under your mattress. I left you something.

Look what the president...

Lord, Sidney Poitier. I love Sidney Poitier.

Louis came over and paid me a visit.

Louis said they stopped him just because.

Louis said we should stop taking the white man's shit.

Louis was never a criminal.

Louis, come on down! Come down!

Louis, I told you about letting these kids watch that show.

Louis!

Louis! What you gonna be when you grow up?

Ma, I took Pa's watch.

Ma, I'm leaving.

Ma, Louis is leaving me his filthy magazines.

Ma, then they're just gonna have to kill me.

Ma, what you doing?

Ma?
