在月光咖啡馆

莫娜·莱恩被一群黑人绑架的那天晚上
at the Moonlight Cafe,
故事就是这么展开的
the night Mona Lane got kidnapped by a gang of Negros.

那我们成交了
Then you have a deal.
只有一件事
Just one thing.
那是什么

你为什么不付钱给绑匪
Why don't you just pay the kidnappers?
我很确定你能负担得起

你要是能找到那个女孩 那母猪都能上树
You find the girl, I'll deal with the coked-up coons.
那你这么牛逼 你怎么不去找她呢

就因为老板跟你做交易了
Just because the boss made you a promise, doesn't mean
不代表路上我不会把你的牙齿打掉的

我是说 我只想和你在一起
I mean, you're the only one I wanna be with.
在我心里你是我女朋友 我是说

白人女孩
A white girl?
我蹲大牢的时候 有一个老黑人乔
When I was in lockup, there was this old black Joe,
我觉得他是个演员之类的

他会背诵一些剧本

每一次革命都需要鲜血

我一点进展都没有
I was gettin' nowhere fast.
是时候和奥尼尔谈谈了

我给他打了个电话 用的是皮科和奥林匹克的公用电话
I gave him a call from a payphone at Pico and Olympic.
格拉斯 你去哪了
Glass, where the hell have you been?
你应该在三个多小时前跟我报告的
You were supposed to check in with me over three hours ago.
这又不是在乡村俱乐部转悠
This ain't like goin' around a country club,
找网球搭档
askin' for a tennis partner.
小心祸从口出 小子

我已经听够了你说的屁话 小子
I've had about enough of your mouth, boy.
现在 告诉我你有什么进展
Now, tell me what you got.
现在 没什么进展
Right now, nothin'.
只有一具尸体和一群

但是除了微笑 我啥别的都没有
which nothin' to back me but just a smile.
我需要保护措施

我需要一把枪
I need a gun.
作为一个白人 你最不想做的一件事
As a white man, the last thing you ever
就是给一个黑鬼一把枪
wanted to do was give a nigga a gun.
这违背了他所主张的一切
It was against everything he stood for,
但杰克·温盖特当时和我一样已经急疯了
but Jack Wingate was on his ass just like he was on mine.
-你知道怎么用吗 -别担心我
- Do you know how to use it? - Hey, don't worry about me.

我先往南然后往东去了恩格尔伍德
I headed south then east to Englewood.
我正要去见恩尼斯·马修斯
I was on my way to see Ennis Matthews.
阿奇
Archie?
你怎么知道我住在哪里

不难找到
It wasn't too hard to find.
我很抱歉用枪指着你
I'm sorry I pulled the pistol on you.
我以为你是邻居中的一个
I thought you were one of the neighbors come a-callin'.
你怎么连灯也不开 恩尼斯
What you doin' in the dark, Ennis?
你的灯坏了吗
Your lights don't work?
它们好好的
They work fine.
但我就是不想开
But I just keep 'em off just the same.
这样 他们就看不见里面
That way, they can't see inside.
我遇到了一些麻烦
I've been havin' some troubles.
什么麻烦
What kinda troubles?
我买这房子的时候 那个人告诉我
When I bought this house, the man told me all about
邻居很友好
the wonderful friendly neighbors.
但是当一个有色人种搬进来的时候 他们就不那么友好了
I reckon they ain't so friendly when a colored man moves in.
他们用石头砸穿我的窗户
And I've had rocks thrown through my window.
偷看寄到我邮箱里的信件 还有我妻子
Mean letters put in my mailbox, and my wife,
在他们杀了我家狗之后
she took my boys back to New Orleans,
她带我儿子回了新奥尔良
after they killed the dog.
所以 我买了这把手枪
So, I bought this pistol.
我攒了一辈子的钱
I saved every cent I had,
都用来买这房子
to buy this house.
我在找一个女孩 恩尼斯
I'm lookin' for a girl, Ennis.
这里可没有

你听说过莫娜·莱恩吗
You heard of Mona Lane?
她被绑架了
She's been kidnapped,
被一个叫推特·杰克逊的黑人小号手
by some trumpet-playin' Negro named Tweet Jackson.
你今天在推特的公寓干什么 恩尼斯
What were you doin' at Tweet's apartment today, Ennis?
你在说什么
What're you talkin' about?
你是我认识的唯一
You're the only Negro I know
能抽得起这些高档古巴雪茄的黑人
that can afford to smoke these fancy Cuban cigars.
你疯了 很多人都抽
You're crazy, plenty of folk smoke 'em.
你手里的那把手枪少了一颗子弹
Well, that pistol you got in your hand is missin' a bullet.
我打赌那颗子弹
And I bet it's the same bullet
在我今天找到的尸体里
that was in that dead body I found today.
我破产了
I broke.
我一买下这房子
As soon as I bought this house,
制片厂就终止了我的合同
the studio cut my contract.
告诉我发生了什么

有人来找我

他们需要人来带走她

她在制片厂里认识我
She knew me from the studio.
他们需要一个她的熟人

他们说结束后会赚大钱

所以 我带她去了在胡佛的公寓

推特的公寓
Tweet's apartment.
我们到了那里 推特居然不见了
When we got there, Tweet was missing.
关于下一步该怎么办 就吵起来了

我小时候在新奥尔良 有一家餐馆
When I was a boy in New Orleans, there was this restaurant
只有白人能去

他们桌上有蜡烛
They had candles on the table, man.
墙上有很多漂亮的照片
There was fancy, fancy pictures on the wall.
他们有个人站在门口
They had this man who stood at the door.
举着一个牛皮纸袋
With a brown paper bag.
他会举着它 如果你比袋子还黑的话
He'd hold it up, and if you were darker than the bag,
你就不能进去
you couldn't get in.
我答应过自己有一天我会进去那个地方
I promised myself I'd get into that place.
但现在我知道无论多么富有
But now I know that no matter how rich,
或者我多么出名
or famous I get,
他们都不会让我进去的
they ain't lettin' me in.
告诉我发生了什么 我必须知道
Just tell me what happened, I gotta know.
你帮不了我 阿奇 没人能帮我
You can't help me, Archie, can't nobody help.
恩尼斯 不要
Ennis, no!
恩尼斯是我崇拜的人
Ennis was somebody I looked up to.
事实上 我想成为他那样的人
The truth was, I wanted to be just like him.
不管他有什么秘密 都已经跟他一起入土了
Whatever secret he had, he took with him to hell.
我想到恩尼斯的邻居要去洗掉墙上的血迹
I thought about Ennis's neighbors havin' to wash the blood
但这并没有让我感觉心情好一点
off his walls, but it didn't make me feel any better.
我昨晚在酒吧和一个女孩聊天
I was talkin' to this girl at the bar last night.
一个来自阿拉巴马的瘦女孩

where it didn't matter who you were.
伪造绑架案是推特的主意
It was Tweet's idea to fake the kidnapping.
让它看起来像真的 这样温盖特就会付赎金
Make it look real so that Wingate would pay the ransom.
但事情恰恰相反 他派你来了
Instead, he sent you.
