The Youngers, who didn't expect the movers this early, are surprised. But Walter seems to know who's at the door. He greets Bobo, a small, frightened-looking man and a fellow investor in the liquor store. Bobo's nervous demeanor makes Walter's good mood fade, as Walter suspects there's bad news. Walter and an increasingly concerned Ruth ask a reluctant Bobo to tell them what happened. Bobo reveals slowly that one of the investors, 🤬 Harris took his and Walter's money, which they gave him for the liquor license, and disappeared.

Walter, shocked and dismayed, at first believes they'll be able to find . As Walter realizes the truth—he's been swindled—he screams at Bobo and crumples to the floor, weeping. He reveals to Mama, when she asks, that all the money she gave him, including the portion to be set aside for Beneatha, is gone.

Mama suddenly starts to beat Walter in the face. Beneatha stops her. Mama talks sadly about how she had to watch her husband work himself to death. She prays aloud for strength.

He appears awkward and uncomfortable. The Youngers listen with interest as he explains that he wants to welcome new neighbors to Clybourne Park and encourage dialogue. Lindner claims to "deplore" the violence black residents face in white neighborhoods and wants to do something about it. Beneatha is suspicious, but Ruth and Walter are listening openly. Slowly Lindner reveals his belief that communities should "share a common background" and black families should live in their own communities. As the Youngers become openly disdainful, Lindner says the association wants to buy back the house at a financial gain to the family. Beneatha sarcastically refers to the offer as "thirty pieces and not a coin less."

Walter refuses to hear the offer and asks Lindner to leave. Lindner asserts that the Youngers will not be welcome in their new neighborhood and leaves his card. Walter, Ruth, and Beneatha, after being momentarily stunned into silence, explain the visit with sarcasm and dark humor to Mama and Travis when they return. Mama asks with fear if Lindner threatened them. "They don't do it like that any more," says Beneatha, explaining that Lindner disguised his true intentions with "good Christian fellowship."

She stipulates that $3000 is to go in a savings account for Beneatha's medical schooling, but it is not clear that he even hears Mama. He is overwhelmed and his sudden exuberance over this financial windfall leads him to share some of his many fantasies with Travis.
