31 Mr. Rickey, do you want a ballplayer who's afraid to fight back?

— Himself (Jackie Robinson)

32 Oh, that's the trouble with you, Frank. There you go, butting again.

— Branch Rickey (Minor Watson)

33 On the other hand, every step forward for our people has started a fight somewhere. For the time being, anyhow.

34 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.

— Himself (Jackie Robinson)

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

— Himself (Jackie Robinson)

36 And every eye in this stadium is on that boy, anxious, as Jackie stands there waiting for that first pitch.

37 And Jackie, I wasn't kidding about that either. They certainly have a lot of respect for you out there. -I have a lot of respect for them, too. Believe me.

— Himself (Jackie Robinson)

38 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.

39 He's a right-handed batter, you know, stands well back in the box, feet wide apart. Very good form.

40 My name's Robinson. Jackie Robinson.

— Himself (Jackie Robinson)
