12 Ow! What've you got in those hands, steel springs? -They're nurse's hands, remember?
13 Tell me, Jackie... What do you think would actually happen if you were to get out on a white baseball field? -I don't know. They might call me names. They might even beat me up.
14 That Ernie. Always begging cigarettes. -I can't afford to buy 'em! -Why not? Don't you get paid like the rest of us?
15 Your suits are in your lockers. There's a ball game tomorrow. I hope I'll see you there... In uniform.
16 Are you nervous? -A little... maybe. But I won't be when we get on the field.
17 I've spent my whole life in baseball, and I've always been proud of that because I've always thought baseball was a fine game. A clean game.
18 It won't be any picnic. You marry me now, and you're asking for trouble. -All right, Jackie. I'll ask for it.
19 That's just like you. The first thing on top is your glove. What are you gonna do with it? -I don't know. Don't know if I'll ever do anything with it again.
20 Well, I can be the first Negro to ever play in organized baseball, Mom. If I'm good enough. If I can make the grade. Only I'll be taking a big chance.
