[MR. TAMBO, spoken]
The governor of Alabama will see you now in his chambers. Well? Don’t make the governor wait!
[THE INTERLOCUTOR (as Governor)]
Mr. Patterson
I understand you wish to confess to this terrible crime
Zat so?
[MR. TAMBO (as Leibowitz), spoken]
Say yes!
[HAYWOOD, spoken]
No
[THE INTERLOCUTOR (as Governor), spoken]
Mr. Patterson, I don’t think I heard you correctly. You people sometimes don’t understand what you’ve been asked. It’s because you don’t listen! So, let’s try this again!
(singing)
You now admit committing this rape
Which you’ve been denying all along
Zat right?
[MR. TAMBO (as Leibowitz), spoken]
That’s right!
[HAYWOOD, spoken]
Wrong
[MR. TAMBO (as Leibowitz), spoken]
Haywood, whadaya doin’?!
[THE INTERLOCUTOR (as Governor)]
Now boy, it’s increasingly clear
You don’t comprehend exactly what’s happening here
[MR. TAMBO (as Leibowitz), spoken]
What’s happening is you’re gonna rot in jail!
[THE INTERLOCUTOR (as Governor)]
This is your last chance
This is the very last time
I ask if you’re guilty
Of committing this horrible crime
[MR. TAMBO (as Leibowitz), spoken]
Say yes. Say yes
[THE INTERLOCUTOR (as Governor), spoken]
Say yes!
[HAYWOOD]
No, no, no
[THE INTERLOCUTOR (as Governor)]
You leave me, boy, no other course!
You’re belligerent without remorse!
You’re telling me you never will confess?!
Zat so?
[MR. TAMBO (as Leibowitz), spoken]
Say no. Say no!
[HAYWOOD]
Yes!
[THE INTERLOCUTOR (as Governor), spoken]
There goes your freedom son, there goes your freedom!
[HAYWOOD]
It ain’t for you to say I’m free
In my mind
In my mind
In my own mind
(spoken)
I’m free! I’m free! I’m free!
[THE INTERLOCUTOR (as Governor), spoken]
You’re not free! The truth is, Haywood, you’re going back to jail for a very long time! Any final words?
