Quote context

[...]

- They won't let Negro players stay here overnight, and they're gettin' their mob together. That's why we're leaving'. We'll try the next town.

- Yeah, the ump was still callin' em wrong.

- But this Robinson ain't easy to strike out.

- That ghostly umpire kept callin' two strikes, but this Robinson usually got a hold of the third one, like that time in Florida.

- When he hit a long line drive into center field! It's goin' - goin' - it smacks against the center field wall.

- Robinson's rounding' first, second, he's crossing' third, he's gonna try to stretch it into a homer!

- He's cumin' into home! Here comes the throw! Robinson slides across the plate and it looks like he's safe! Safe!

- Waite a minute! No, there's a man out there in a blue uniform, from another team I guess, picking' Jackie up outta the dust.

- Maybe he ain't safe. Cause I hear 'em sayin'...

- Now get up and get outta here! You hear me?

- Hey he's safe!

- He ain't safe if he don't get outta this park!

Top rated lines from this movie

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.

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.

Listen. They say when a new music's bein' born, you get one kid like this who comes along years ahead of himself. This kid plays tomorrow's music today.

Some of these kids... are just like me. They hear the sound of a trumpet - they never forget it.
