All Sharp can think to do is make her hand ducttape against Walnut's mouth and... duck.
At least if Walnut isn't talking that's one major crisis averted.

OVERSEER: Haha, see, I knew there was somethin' missin' here, because there's no way you lot'a niggers disc•o•vered fire without the help'a a very special girl. My fav•or•ite girl, in fact.

Sharp throws herself from the bush before the Overseer can get any closer!

OVERSEER: Not you. LISA SHARP: It was me! I burnt the cotton. I's sorry. OVERSEER: Nah, you too stupid. I want Miss Smartiepants. Where is she. LISA SHARP: Walnut ain't here. She, sick in the cabin. I's takin' care of her pick today so she don't die. OVERSEER: Aw. You two is so cute. Walnut makes the mess and you pick up after. Don't that bring me back! Makes me nos•tal•gic even? You know 'bout nostalgia? 'Course not. You a nigger. You's all niggers, you don't know what I'm--Hahahahahaha! I have got to stop usin' words y'all don't know. I crack myself up too bad.

Don't let me step on your toes. So•ci•ety starts in the home--you don't know 'society' either. You the head of the house•hold, you make the rules Nut's made to follow. That's called auth•or•ity. A little thing like her's gotta learn to respect it startin' with her most fun•da•mental sup•erior. Or closest thing left, I s'pose. That way she can grow up a good girl.

You ain't gonna tell Walnut to come out that bush? She's too precious. I re•spect you. You makin' choices. De•cis-ions. You know 'bout 'decisions'? Bah. Let us, to•gether, teach Walnut what happens when niggers wanna 'call out sick'.

The Overseer steadies his BLACK KATANA against Sharp's fingers.

OVERSEER: Watch close Walnut. One for you and three for her.

Walnut launches out the bush (equipped with ball) and latches directly onto the Overseer's boot.
The size discrepancy is rather exaggerated given the bigness of boot and smallness of Nut.

WALNUT: No please Mr. Overseer sir don't do it!!! LISA SHARP: WALNUT YOU IDIOT! WALNUT: Lisa Sharp ain't done nothin' to deserve it it was all me I burnt the cotton it was my fault 'cause I wasn't mindin' my business and I wanted to show everyone 'bout my alien people race I know I shouldn'ta done it but Lisa Sharp didn't do nothin' but fall in a hole and that was my fault too she fell and could'a got scratched! Don't hurt nobody please Mr. Overseer don't hurt nobody please!!! OVERSEER: There you is. Knew this had just about ev•ery•thing to do with you someway. Now don't fret 'cause what's done is done. Lisa Sharp's in charge'a ya and acc•ording to her you got the day off! Don't cry, don't yell your head off. It's okay, Walnut. This only takes a second and it don't even hurt.

Get off my boot now wouldja? I'm sayin' please.

OVERSEER: GET. OFF. MY. DAMN. BOOT. GIRL.

SHAKE SHAKE SHAOh shit Walnut's still got her hands in those exposed wires.
