Quote context

[...]

- It's Jackie, Ma, calling from New York.

- Why is he calling? Is something wrong with him?

- Just a minute, Ma.

- Hello? Yes. Jackie? How are you, kid? Are you OK? He's OK, Mom.

- You wanna talk to Mom? Oh, sure. She's right here. He wants to talk to you, Ma.

- Hello, Jackie. You all right? You got a... chance for what?

- 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.

- Mack... They want Jackie to play baseball for... For Brooklyn.

- Well, Jackie, I don't know what kind of advice to give you, only... Only there must be churches in a big town like New York. Why don't you go find yourself a church and talk to the minister, and see what he has to say?

- And Jackie... Anytime you have a real problem, listen to God awhile.

- Here. Talk to your brother Mack. He knows more about baseball than I do.

(Knocking on door) Come in.

- Are you Reverend Carter?

- That's right, son.

Top rated lines from this movie

But I am certain that I, and other Americans of many races and faiths, have too much invested in our country's welfare to throw it away or to let it be taken from us.

I'm not fooled because I've had a chance open to very few Negro Americans, but I do know that democracy works for those who are willing to fight for it, and I'm sure it's worth defending.

Trouble? The only trouble I'm worried about is ground balls to my right.

Well, I don't know what kind of a man I am, Reverend, but I think I'm a pretty good ballplayer.

And now, here's the moment everyone's been waiting for. This big crowd is silent and tense as Jackie stands there at the plate.
