Storyboard Tekst
- She was a large woman with a large purse that had everything in it but hammer and nails.
- Hey! My handbag!
- “Mrs. Jones stopped, jerked him around in front of her, put a half-nelson about his neck, and continued to drag him up the street.”
- What is happening? What will se do?!
- “You ought to be my son. I would teach you right from wrong.”
- I'll teach you a lesson boy
- A young teen, Roger, unsuccessfully attempts to steal a powerfully built woman’s purse as she walks home from work alone late at night on the streets of Harlem, New York.
- “Roger looked at the door — looked at the woman — looked at the door — and went to the sink.”
- Should I run away? Will she be able to catch me?
- Afterwards, she kicks Roger in the bottom, and manages to grab him in a Half-Nelson, which immobilises him and makes him completely useless. She introduces herself as Mrs Luella Bates Washington Jones.
- “Mrs Jones got up and went behind the screen. The woman did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run now, nor did she watch her purse which she left behind her on the day-bed.”
- Should I just go? I don't think she can see me from there
- She then tells him that she’s going to wash his face and that she what teach him what is right from wrong, just as if he was her son. She tells him that she won’t tell the police or anything, instead she will teach him her own lesson.
- “Although his lips moved, he couldn’t even say that as he turned at the foot of the barren stoop and looked up at the large woman in the door. He barely managed to say “Thank you” before she shut the door.”
- Here so you can buy your shoes, but remember what I've taught you
- Thank you Ma'm
- She then takes him to her small house in a headlock all of the way, so he won’t escape, the house looks inhabited by other people and she makes him wash his face with warm water, to look presentable and nice.
- She then prepared dinner for him, even though he kindly refused it. At this time the boy was also put in trial, as she purposely left her handbag in the bed and left the boy alone with an easy escape.
- The boy was so intimidated that he didn’t dare to escape, and he passed the trial. Afterwards he had dinner with her and the boy was very appreciative. When they finished eating, Mrs Jones gave Roger 10 dollars to buy the shoes he wanted, which was like a dream for Roger, so he was very grateful and he said goodbye by saying ‘Thank you Ma’m’.
