I thought the movie was absolutely wonderful. Does anyone happen to remember the exact quote from the movie where the older black man gives a speech to the kid about "My feet done seen more miles of red sand than yours will ever see, but though my feet are tired, my soul is rested." That's just a portion, but does anyone know the full quote? Thanks

"I'm tired of it too, son...Cause these feet, long wore out, done seen more miles and red sand than you'rn ever will. My soul is weary, son, weary of being treated like less than a man. You don't know what I mean boy and you don't know what that lady was saying on that bus, but I know what was sayin' so I'm gonna keep on a walkin' as long as I have to cause these feet my be tired but my soul is rested"

It means "yours." As in, "This is mine, that is yours." I would have thought you-all would know that!
