Sonny, the youngest Grotowski, has two young black friends who he tries to bring by the house.

After Hank and Sonny get into an argument, Sonny grabs his gun and confronts Hank by saying "You hate me don't you?" and Hank replies "Yeah, I hate you. I always did." Sonny's last words were "Well, I always loved you". Then he shot himself. It was a very tense scene.
