From Quiz Moonlight
Answer:
"You're the only man that's ever touched me."
Kevin emerges from the kitchen with a plate of rice, beans, and grilled chicken breast covered in a mole sauce, and sets up a booth for Black. He pours a drink for each of them, then leaves Black to finish his meal and tends to the other customers. They catch each other up on their lives, and there's a tense moment when Kevin learns how Black makes his living. "What?" Kevin says in disbelief. "That ain't what it is. That ain't you, Chiron," he says disapprovingly. "You don't know me," Black points out simply. "I don't know you?" Kevin replies, raising his voice a little to emphasize the point. Black just stares back at Kevin, until a customer at the register breaks the silence between them. Kevin gets up to ring up the customer's bill, and for a few moments there's nothing between Black and the door. Black stares out into the street and contemplates leaving, when Kevin takes his seat, downs his wine, and tilts his head back in exhaustion. "Why'd you call me?" Black finally asks. "I told you, man. Dude came in," Kevin begins. "He played this song, man." Kevin gets up, goes to the jukebox, and plays Barbara Lewis' "Hello Stranger". The song lyrics fill the nearly empty diner:
"Hello, stranger.
It seems so good to see you back again.
How long has it been?
It seems like a mighty long time."
Kevin leans his back to the jukebox and stares back at Black as he listens to the song. Later, Kevin locks up the diner and follows Black across the parking lot to his car. Black drives Kevin back to his place, and pauses for a moment in the parking lot to listen to the sounds of Miami Beach in the distance. Kevin and Black cross the compound and enter Kevin's modest flat. While Kevin is making some tea in the kitchen, he turns around to look at Black with a smile. "Who is you, man?" he asks. "Them fronts? That car? Who is you, Chiron?" Black shrugs. "I'm me, man. I ain't tryna be nothin' else," he says. "Oh, ok. So you hard now?" Kevin asks. "I ain't say that," Black replies. "Well, then what?" Kevin goes on. "I ain't tryna hem you up. It just, I ain't seen you in a minute, and it's not what I expected." Black just stares back at Kevin. "Well what did you expect?" he asks. Kevin thinks for a moment, then says, "You remember the last time I saw you?" Black looks back at Kevin vulnerably. "For a long time, I tried not to remember. I tried to forget all those times," he tells him. "When we got to Atlanta, I started over. Built myself from the ground up. Built myself hard. What about you?" Kevin starts to tell Black about how he never really did anything he wanted to do and how he was never really himself, but now he has a steady job and a life. "I ain't got no worries, man. Not them kind what I had before," he says earnestly. Black goes quiet, building up the courage to say something. "You're the only man that's ever touched me," he tells Kevin. "You're the only one. I haven't really touched anyone since." Kevin turns to face Black, who looks like a weight has been lifted. Kevin smiles.
Kevin and Black sit next to each other on Kevin's bed, fully clothed. Black rests his head on Kevin's shoulder, as Kevin caresses Black's hair gently. We hear the sound of waves crashing, as the scene changes to show 12-year-old Little standing on the shore looking out at the ocean, his back to the camera. He turns to look back, his gaze open and unexpecting, and in the moonlight his skin looks almost blue.
