Quote context

[...]

- You make this one forget it for your own good.

- All right, all right.

- OK. Now here's where you come in...

- The kid came hawking his coal and peeping at the back windows of Diamond Stone's to see if he could get a glimpse of my shinin' cylinders in the hands of the trumpeter.

- He stopped his wagon at the door.

- He was perched on top the coal and straining his ears for the sound of someone blowing on a trumpet.

Top rated lines from this movie

All right now, girl, stand aside. Least a woman can do is to keep out of the way of those who're busy. Let the moving men by.

I learned that no women can live free and equal by standing silently by while huge sections of the human race were slandered and made second-class citizens.

The kid left her and went back to me, the trumpet, and blew until his cheeks ached and his lips cracked and split, but he kept on.

You're the one who can make the trumpet talk... and tell the truth.

I believe that once one accepts discrimination against another, he's preparing the way for his own slavery. I intend to remain free.
