影片簡介：

托尼（維果·莫騰森 Viggo Mortensen 飾）是一個吊兒郎當游手好閑的混混，在一家夜總會做侍者。這間夜總會因故要停業(yè)幾個月，可托尼所要支付的房租和生活費不會因此取消，所以他的當務(wù)之急是去尋找另一份工作來填補這幾個月的空缺。在這個節(jié)骨眼上，一位名叫唐雪莉（馬赫沙拉·阿里 Mahershala Ali 飾）的黑人鋼琴家提出雇傭托尼。

唐雪莉即將開始為期八個星期的南下巡回演出，可是，那個時候南方對黑人的歧視非常的嚴重，于是托尼便成為了唐雪莉的司機兼保鏢。一路上，兩人迥異的性格使得他們之間產(chǎn)生了很多的矛盾，與此同時，唐雪莉在南方所遭受的種種不公平的對待也讓托尼對種族歧視感到深惡痛絕。

精彩片段對白：

(SONG ENDS)

(APPLAUSE)

(ROCK AND ROLL PLAYING)

TONY: Got any family, Doc?

SHIRLEY: Not really.

TONY: Not really? Either you do or you don't.

SHIRLEY: It's a long story, Tony.

TONY: What, we're in a hurry now? (TURNS DOWN MUSIC) Let's hear it.

SHIRLEY: I have a brother somewhere. We used to get together once in a while, but it got more and more difficult to stay in touch. Curse of being a musician, I guess. Always on the road. Like a carnival worker.

TONY: Hmm.

SHIRLEY: Or a criminal. Took quite the toll on my marriage as well.

TONY: You're married?

SHIRLEY: Was. June. Good person. Terrible grammar, but a kind soul. You'd quite like her.

TONY: June. Like, uh, like Lassie's mom.

SHIRLEY: Unfortunately, I couldn't do a husband act and a concert pianist act. Couldn't seem to manage both worlds.

TONY: Kentucky Fried Chicken. In Kentucky! When's that ever gonna happen? (CHUCKLES) All right! Hey, you want some?

SHIRLEY: I'm fine. Thank you, Tony.

TONY: All right. Mmm. I think this is the best Kentucky Fried Chicken I ever had. Probably 'cause it's fresher down here, right?

SHIRLEY: I don't think I've ever met anyone with your appetite.

TONY: No. I got the bucket so you could have some.

SHIRLEY: I've never had fried chicken in my life.

TONY: Who you bullshitting? You people love the fried chicken, the grits and the collard greens. I love it, too. Negro cooks used to make it all the time when I was in the Army.

SHIRLEY: You have a very narrow assessment of me, Tony.

TONY: Yeah, right? I'm good.

SHIRLEY: No. No, you're not good. You're bad. I'm saying, just because other Negroes enjoy certain types of music, it doesn't mean I have to. Nor do we all eat the same kind of food.

TONY: Whoa. Wait a minute. If you said all guineas like pizza and spaghetti and meatballs, I'm not gonna get insulted.

SHIRLEY: You're missing the point. For you to make the assumption that every Negro...

TONY: Hey, you want some or not?

SHIRLEY: No.

TONY: Here. Come on. Tell me that don't smell good.

SHIRLEY: It...

TONY: Huh?

SHIRLEY: It smells okay. I prefer not to get grease on my blanket.

TONY: (MOCKING): Ooh, I'm gonna get grease on my blankey. Come on, have a piece. It ain't gonna kill you. Come on, take it, eat it.

SHIRLEY: No.

TONY: Take it. I'm throwing it in the back.

SHIRLEY: You... Don't you dare.

TONY: Then you better take it.

SHIRLEY: How? Do you have plates or utensils?

TONY: (SPEAKS ITALIAN) Eat it with your hands! That's how you're supposed to.

SHIRLEY: I can't do that.

TONY: Eat it. Come on. Take it, take it, take it. I gotta drive. Ten and two on the wheel. Come on. Take it, take it, take it.

SHIRLEY: Tony... (GROANS)

TONY: Come on, come on. There you go. Huh?

SHIRLEY: I-I can't do this, Tony.

TONY: Eat the goddamn thing! Jesus.

(ROCK AND ROLL SONG PLAYING FAINTLY OVER RADIO)

TONY: What, no good?

SHIRLEY: Mm. It just seems...so un... unsanitary.

TONY: Who gives a shit? Just relax and enjoy it. You know, my father used to say... "Whatever you do, do it a hundred percent." When you work, work. When you laugh, laugh. When you eat, eat like it's your last meal. You want another piece? Here. Have a breast. Delicious. Take it. Here you go.

SHIRLEY: What do we do about the bones?

TONY: We do this. This is what we do. There you go.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(CHUCKLES)

TONY: What's the big deal, Doc? The squirrels would've ate it anyway.

SHIRLEY: Pick it up, Tony.

TONY: Nature takes care of the Earth.

SHIRLEY: Pick it up.

TONY: Aw, geez.
