WHO IS MR. LINDNER?

ACT 2, SCENE 3
34 BENEATHA  Sticks and stones may break my bones but … words will never hurt me!
(BENEATHA goes to the door and opens it as WALTER and RUTH go on with the clowning. BENEATHA is somewhat surprised to see a quiet-looking middle-aged white man in a business suit holding his hat and a briefcase in his hand and consulting a small piece of paper)
MAN Uh—how do you do, miss. I am looking for a Mrs.—(He looks at the slip of paper) Mrs. Lena Younger? (He stops short, struck dumb at the sight of the oblivious WALTER and RUTH)
BENEATHA  (Smoothing her hair with slight embarrassment) Oh—yes, that’s my mother. Excuse me (She closes the door and turns to quiet the other two) Ruth! Brother! (Enunciating precisely but soundlessly: “There’s a white man at the door!” They stop dancing, RUTH cuts off the phonograph, BENEATHA opens the door. The man casts a curious quick glance at all of them) Uh—come in please.
MAN  (Coming in) Thank you.
BENEATHA  My mother isn’t here just now. Is it business?
MAN  Yes … well, of a sort.
WALTER  (Freely, the Man of the House) Have a seat. I’m Mrs. Younger’s son. I look after most of her business matters.
(RUTH and BENEATHA exchange amused glances)
MAN  (Regarding WALTER, and sitting) Well—My name is Karl Lindner …
WALTER  (Stretching out his hand) Walter Younger. This is my wife—(RUTH nods politely)—and my sister.
LINDNER  How do you do.
WALTER  (Amiably, as he sits himself easily on a chair, leaning forward on his knees with interest and looking expectantly into the newcomer’s face) What can we do for you, Mr. Lindner!
LINDNER  (Some minor shuffling of the hat and briefcase on his knees) Well—I am a representative of the Clybourne Park Improvement Association—
WALTER  (Pointing) Why don’t you sit your things on the floor?
LINDNER  Oh—yes. Thank you. (He slides the briefcase and hat under the chair) And as I was saying—I am from the Clybourne Park Improvement Association and we have had it brought to our attention at the last meeting that you people—or at least your mother—has bought a piece of residential property at—(He digs for the slip of paper again)—four o six Clybourne Street …
50 WALTER  That’s right. Care for something to drink? Ruth, get Mr. Lindner a beer.
LINDNER  (Upset for some reason) Oh—no, really. I mean thank you very much, but no thank you.
RUTH  (Innocently) Some coffee?
LINDNER  Thank you, nothing at all.
(BENEATHA is watching the man carefully)
LINDNER  Well, I don’t know how much you folks know about our organization. (He is a gentle man; thoughtful and somewhat labored in his manner) It is one of these community organizations set up to look after—oh, you know, things like block upkeep and special projects and we also have what we call our New Neighbors Orientation Committee …
BENEATHA  (Drily) Yes—and what do they do?
LINDNER (Turning a little to her and then returning the main force to WALTER) Well—it’s what you might call a sort of welcoming committee, I guess. I mean they, we—I’m the chairman of the committee—go around and see the new people who move into the neighborhood and sort of give them the lowdown on the way we do things out in Clybourne Park.
BENEATHA  (With appreciation of the two meanings, which escape RUTH and WALTER) Un-huh.
LINDNER  And we also have the category of what the association calls—(He looks elsewhere)—uh—special community problems …
BENEATHA  Yes—and what are some of those?
WALTER  Girl, let the man talk.
LINDNER  (With understated relief) Thank you. I would sort of like to explain this thing in my own way. I mean I want to explain to you in a certain way.
WALTER  Go ahead.
LINDNER  Yes. Well. I’m going to try to get right to the point. I’m sure we’ll all appreciate that in the long run.
65 BENEATHA  Yes.
WALTER  Be still now!
LINDNER  Well—
RUTH  (Still innocently) Would you like another chair—you don’t look comfortable.

ACT 2, SCENE 3
LINDNER  Yes. Well. I’m going to try to get right to the point. I’m sure we’ll all appreciate that in the long run.
65 BENEATHA  Yes.
WALTER  Be still now!
LINDNER  Well—
RUTH  (Still innocently) Would you like another chair—you don’t look comfortable.
LINDNER (More frustrated than annoyed) No, thank you very much. Please. Well—to get right to the point I—(A great breath, and he is off at last) I am sure you people must be aware of some of the incidents which have happened in various parts of the city when colored people have moved into certain areas—(BENEATHA exhales heavily and starts tossing a piece of fruit up and down in the air) Well—because we have what I think is going to be a unique type of organization in American community life—not only do we deplore that kind of thing—but we are trying to do something about it. (BENEATHA stops tossing and turns with a new and quizzical interest to the man) We feel—(gaining confidence in his mission because of the interest in the faces of the people he is talking to)—we feel that most of the trouble in this world, when you come right down to it—(He hits his knee for emphasis)—most of the trouble exists because people just don’t sit down and talk to each other.
RUTH  (Nodding as she might in church, pleased with the remark) You can say that again, mister.
LINDNER  (More encouraged by such affirmation) That we don’t try hard enough in this world to understand the other fellow’s problem. The other guy’s point of view.
RUTH  Now that’s right.
(BENEATHA and WALTER merely watch and listen with genuine interest)
LINDNER  Yes—that’s the way we feel out in Clybourne Park. And that’s why I was elected to come here this afternoon and talk to you people. Friendly like, you know, the way people should talk to each other and see if we couldn’t find some way to work this thing out. As I say, the whole business is a matter of caring about the other fellow. Anybody can see that you are a nice family of folks, hard working and honest I’m sure. (BENEATHA frowns slightly, quizzically, her head tilted regarding him) Today everybody knows what it means to be on the outside of something. And of course, there is always somebody who is out to take advantage of people who don’t always understand.
WALTER  What do you mean?
LINDNER  Well—you see our community is made up of people who’ve worked hard as the dickens for years to build up that little community. They’re not rich and fancy people; just hard-working, honest people who don’t really have much but those little homes and a dream of the kind of community they want to raise their children in. Now, I don’t say we are perfect and there is a lot wrong in some of the things they want. But you’ve got to admit that a man, right or wrong, has the right to want to have the neighborhood he lives in a certain kind of way. And at the moment the overwhelming majority of our people out there feel that people get along better, take more of a common interest in the life of the community, when they share a common background. I want you to believe me when I tell you that race prejudice simply doesn’t enter into it. It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities.
BENEATHA  (With a grand and bitter gesture) This, friends, is the Welcoming Committee!
WALTER  (Dumbfounded, looking at LINDNER) Is this what you came marching all the way over here to tell us?
LINDNER  Well, now we’ve been having a fine conversation. I hope you’ll hear me all the way through.
WALTER  (Tightly) Go ahead, man.
LINDNER  You see—in the face of all the things I have said, we are prepared to make your family a very generous offer …
BENEATHA  Thirty pieces and not a coin less!
WALTER  Yeah?
84 LINDNER  (Putting on his glasses and drawing a form out of the briefcase) Our association is prepared, through the collective effort of our people, to buy the house from you at a financial gain to your family.
RUTH  Lord have mercy, ain’t this the living gall!
WALTER  All right, you through?
LINDNER  Well, I want to give you the exact terms of the financial arrangement—
WALTER  We don’t want to hear no exact terms of no arrangements. I want to know if you got any more to tell us ’bout getting together?
LINDNER  (Taking off his glasses) Well—I don’t suppose that you feel …
WALTER  Never mind how I feel—you got any more to say ’bout how people ought to sit down and talk to each other? … Get out of my house, man.
(He turns his back and walks to the door)
LINDNER  (Looking around at the hostile faces and reaching and assembling his hat and briefcase) Well—I don’t understand why you people are reacting this way. What do you think you are going to gain by moving into a neighborhood where you just aren’t wanted and where some elements—well—people can get awful worked up when they feel that their whole way of life and everything they’ve ever worked for is threatened.
WALTER  Get out.
LINDNER  (At the door, holding a small card) Well—I’m sorry it went like this.
WALTER  Get out.
LINDNER  (Almost sadly regarding WALTER) You just can’t force people to change their hearts, son.
(He turns and put his card on a table and exits. WALTER pushes the door to with stinging hatred, and stands looking at it. RUTH just sits and BENEATHA just stands. They say nothing. MAMA and TRAVIS enter)
MAMA  Well—this all the packing got done since I left out of here this morning. I testify before God that my children got all the energy of the dead! What time the moving men due?
BENEATHA  Four o’clock. You had a caller, Mama.
100 (She is smiling, teasingly)
MAMA  Sure enough—who?
BENEATHA  (Her arms folded saucily) The Welcoming Committee.
(WALTER and RUTH giggle)
MAMA  (Innocently) Who?
BENEATHA  The Welcoming Committee. They said they’re sure going to be glad to see you when you get there.
WALTER  (Devilishly) Yeah, they said they can’t hardly wait to see your face.
(Laughter)
MAMA  (Sensing their facetiousness) What’s the matter with you all?
WALTER  Ain’t nothing the matter with us. We just telling you ’bout the gentleman who came to see you this afternoon. From the Clybourne Park Improvement Association.
MAMA  What he want?
RUTH  (In the same mood as BENEATHA and WALTER) To welcome you, honey.
WALTER  He said they can’t hardly wait. He said the one thing they don’t have, that they just dying to have out there is a fine family of fine colored people! (To RUTH and BENEATHA) Ain’t that right!
RUTH  (Mockingly) Yeah! He left his card—
BENEATHA  (Handing card to MAMA) In case.
(MAMA reads and throws it on the floor—understanding and looking off as she draws her chair up to the table on which she has put her plant and some sticks and some cord)
MAMA  Father, give us strength. (Knowingly—and without fun) Did he threaten us?
BENEATHA  Oh—Mama—they don’t do it like that any more. He talked Brotherhood. He said everybody ought to learn how to sit down and hate each other with good Christian fellowship.
(She and WALTER shake hands to ridicule the remark)
MAMA  (Sadly) Lord, protect us …
RUTH  You should hear the money those folks raised to buy the house from us. All we paid and then some.
BENEATHA  What they think we going to do—eat ’em?
RUTH  No, honey, marry ’em.
MAMA  (Shaking her head) Lord, Lord, Lord …
RUTH  Well—that’s the way the crackers crumble. (A beat) Joke.

ACT 2, SCENE 3
BENEATHA  (Laughingly noticing what her mother is doing) Mama, what are you doing?
MAMA  Fixing my plant so it won’t get hurt none on the way …
BENEATHA  Mama, you going to take that to the new house?
MAMA  Un-huh—
BENEATHA  That raggedy-looking old thing?
MAMA  (Stopping and looking at her) It expresses ME!
RUTH  (With delight, to BENEATHA) So there, Miss Thing! (WALTER comes to MAMA suddenly and bends down behind her and squeezes her in his arms with all his strength. She is overwhelmed by the suddenness of it and, though delighted, her manner is like that of RUTH and TRAVIS)
MAMA  Look out now, boy! You make me mess up my thing here!
WALTER  (His face lit, he slips down on his knees beside her, his arms still about her) Mama … you know what it means to climb up in the chariot?
MAMA  (Gruffly, very happy) Get on away from me now …
RUTH  (Near the gift-wrapped package, trying to catch WALTER’S eye) Psst—
WALTER  What the old song say, Mama …
RUTH  Walter—Now?
(She is pointing at the package)
WALTER  (Speaking the lines, sweetly, playfully, in his mother’s face)
140 I got wings … you got wings …
All God’s children got wings …
MAMA  Boy—get out of my face and do some work …
WALTER
When I get to heaven gonna put on my wings,
Gonna fly all over God’s heaven …
BENEATHA  (Teasingly, from across the room) Everybody talking ’bout heaven ain’t going there!
WALTER  (To RUTH, who is carrying the box across to them) I don’t know, you think we ought to give her that … Seems to me she ain’t been very appreciative around here.
MAMA  (Eyeing the box, which is obviously a gift) What is that?
WALTER  (Taking it from RUTH and putting it on the table in front of MAMA) Well—what you all think? Should we give it to her?
RUTH  Oh—she was pretty good today.
MAMA  I’ll good you—
(She turns her eyes to the box again)
BENEATHA  Open it, Mama.
(She stands up, looks at it, turns and looks at all of them, and then presses her hands together and does not open the package)
WALTER  (Sweetly) Open it, Mama. It’s for you. (MAMA looks in his eyes. It is the first present in her life without its being Christmas. Slowly she opens her package and lifts out, one by one, a brand-new sparkling set of gardening tools. WALTER continues, prodding) Ruth made up the note—read it …
MAMA  (Picking up the card and adjusting her glasses) “To our own Mrs. Miniver—Love from Brother, Ruth and Beneatha.” Ain’t that lovely …
TRAVIS  (Tugging at his father’s sleeve) Daddy, can I give her mine now?
WALTER  All right, son. (TRAVIS flies to get his gift)
MAMA  Now I don’t have to use my knives and forks no more …
WALTER  Travis didn’t want to go in with the rest of us, Mama. He got his own. (Somewhat amused) We don’t know what it is …
TRAVIS  (Racing back in the room with a large hatbox and putting it in front of his grandmother) Here!
MAMA  Lord have mercy, baby. You done gone and bought your grandmother a hat?
TRAVIS  (very proud) Open it!
(She does and lifts out an elaborate, but very elaborate, wide gardening hat, and all the adults break up at the sight of it)
RUTH  Travis, honey, what is that?
TRAVIS  (Who thinks it is beautiful and appropriate) It’s a gardening hat! Like the ladies always have on in the magazines when they work in their gardens.
BENEATHA  (Giggling fiercely) Travis—we were trying to make Mama Mrs. Miniver—not Scarlett O’Hara!
MAMA  (Indignantly) What’s the matter with you all! This here is a beautiful hat! (Absurdly) I always wanted me one just like it!
(She pops it on her head to prove it to her grandson, and the hat is ludicrous and considerably oversized)
RUTH  Hot dog! Go, Mama!
WALTER  (Doubled over with laughter) I’m sorry, Mama—but you look like you ready to go out and chop you some cotton sure enough!
(They all laugh except MAMA, out of deference to TRAVIS’ feelings)
173 MAMA  (Gathering the boy up to her) Bless your heart—this is the prettiest hat I ever owned— (WALTER, RUTH and BENEATHA chime in—noisily, festively and insincerely congratulating TRAVIS on his gift) What are we all standing around here for? We ain’t finished packin’ yet. Bennie, you ain’t packed one book.
(The bell rings)
BENEATHA  That couldn’t be the movers … it’s not hardly two good yet—
(BENEATHA goes into her room. MAMA starts for door)
