Troy Maxson and Jim Bono are talking and drinking in the yard on a Friday night. Troy is concerned about his job at the sanitation department because he asked the bosses why the colored men have to lift the rubbish cans while the white men drive the truck. Bono asks about a girl, Alberta, with whom Troy has been flirting, and reprimands him for not being completely faithful to his wife, Rose. Troy replies, “I eye all the women…Don’t never let nobody tell you Troy Maxson don’t eye the women.” Troy describes Alberta as “one of them Florida gals. They got some healthy women down there…Got a little bit of Indian in her.”
