Adult Dean: I learned a lot about my granddad that day and why Black men like him go to the barbershop, even when their hair hasn't changed in years.
Lillian: Where you been? We were so worried!
Bill: Look at the car. Look at the car, Dad. How many times do I have to tell you? I don't know what to tell... Dean, are you okay? Are you okay, Dean? Dad, I don't... [Grandaddy Clisby hands the car keys to Bill]
Adult Dean: Watching my granddad deal with his new situation made me realize that what he was being forced to accept was much harder than the limitations I had as a 12-year-old. I also appreciated how difficult this was for my dad and how difficult it may be for me one day when I have to do the same thing. Nah! I'm gonna love telling him what to do.
