Kremy: P-Pleasure to have you as always, sir! *Baron turns and starts to leave* Gricko: Yeah, see ya later Sammy! *Baron stops dead in his tracks. Kremy's eyes widen with horror.* Baron:...Whatcha call me, lil' man? Kremy: SIR! H-H-He said s-sir! Baron: Oh ya? Coulda sworn ah heard dis lil' fuck call me Sammy... Gricko: Well, cause I did. *Kremy puts a finger to his lips in a 'shush' motion in a panic, as the Baron turns fully to stare down at Gricko.* Kremy: S-Sir, please...h-he didn't mean it, he's just a dunce, ya know? He didn't mean n-nothin' by it! *Gideon stands there, tense, not sure what to do or say.* Gricko: *eyes widening as he begins to realize how badly he fucked up* I...I-I meant it like, a term of endearment, ya know? L-Like ya one of the guys! W-We all got n-nicknames, right? *awkward chuckle* *The Baron glares down at him, and slowly begins to approach, Kremy turning away to cover his eyes as Gideon stood there, frozen in shock. He moves to stand right over Gricko, kneeling down to meet his gaze. Gricko whimpers...and then-* Baron: *Letting out a loud, echoing howl of laughter* AHAHAHAHA! Ah fuckin' gotcha good, lil' man! AHAAHAHAHAH! *Gricko nearly faints from relief, putting a hand to his heart and panting heavily, as Gideon begins to let out his own howl of laughter. Kremy ever so slowly turns back to face the scene, smiling awkwardly, he'd be sweating buckets if he could sweat.* Kremy: A-Ahah...g-good one, sir! E-Eheh..

Live and Let Die / Geoffrey Holder as "Baron Samedi"

Always a delight to see Geoffrey Holder, even if he didn't have much to do in this movie. In this scene, in fact, he doesn't even speak--but his presence and his costume are very memorable.

[kemetic-dreams]

Baron Samedi (English: Baron Saturday), also written Baron Samdi, Bawon Samedi or Bawon Sanmdi, is one of the lwa of Haitian Vodou. He is a lwa of the dead, along with Baron's numerous other incarnations Baron Cimetière, Baron La Croix and Baron Criminel.

He is the head of the Gede family of lwa; his brothers are Azagon Lacroix and Baron Piquant and he is the husband of Maman Brigitte. Together, they are the guardians of the past, of history, and of heritage

Baron Samedi is usually depicted with a top hat, black tail coat, dark glasses, and cotton plugs in the nostrils, as if to resemble a corpse dressed and prepared for burial in the Haitian style. He is frequently depicted as a skeleton (but sometimes as a black man that merely has his face painted as a skull), and speaks in a nasal voice. The former President-for-Life of Haiti, François Duvalier, known as Papa Doc, modeled his cult of personality on Baron Samedi; he was often seen speaking in a deep nasal tone and wearing dark glasses.

He is noted for disruption, obscenity, debauchery, and having a particular fondness for tobacco and rum. Additionally, he is the lwa of resurrection, and in the latter capacity he is often called upon for healing by those near or approaching death, as it is only the Baron that can accept an individual into the realm of the dead.

Due to affiliation with François Duvalier, Baron Samedi is linked to secret societies in the Haitian government and includes them in his domain.

Baron Samedi spends most of his time in the invisible realm of vodou spirits. He is notorious for his outrageous behavior, swearing continuously and making filthy jokes to the other spirits. He is married to another powerful spirit known as Maman Brigitte, but often chases after mortal women. He loves smoking and drinking and is rarely seen without a cigar in his mouth or a glass of rum in his bony fingers. Baron Samedi can usually be found at the crossroads between the worlds of death and the living. When someone dies, he digs their grave and greets their soul after they have been buried, leading them to the underworld.

Baron Samedi is the leader of the Gede, lwa with particular links to magic, ancestor worship and death. These lesser spirits are dressed like The Baron and are as rude and crude but not nearly as charming as their master. They help carry the dead to the underworld

As well as being the master of the dead, Baron Samedi is also a giver of life. He can cure mortals of any disease or wound, so long as he thinks it is worthwhile. His powers are especially great when it comes to Vodou curses and black magic. Even if somebody has been afflicted by a hex that brings them to the verge of death, they will not die if The Baron refuses to dig their grave. So long as The Baron keeps them out of the ground, they are safe.

In many Haitian cemeteries, the longest standing grave of male is designated as the grave of Baron Samedi. A cross (the kwa Bawon, meaning "Baron's cross") is placed at a crossroads in the cemetery to represent the point where the mortal and spiritual world cross. Often, a black top hat is placed on top of this cross.

He also ensures that all corpses rot in the ground to stop any soul from being brought back as a zombie. What he demands in return depends on his mood. Sometimes he is content with his followers wearing black, white or purple clothes or using sacred objects; he may simply ask for a small gift of cigars, rum, black coffee, grilled peanuts, or bread. But sometimes The Baron requires a Vodou ceremony to help him cross over into this world
