Quote context

[...]

- There's an overflow crowd. It means it's the politicians who're against us, not the people.

- What's the difference?

- This'll make quite a bit a difference, buddy, quite a bit.

- And the more they played, the more the difference began to count.

- People kept pourin' into the parks, and Robinson was hittin' 'em steady and playin' the infield like Eddie Collins used to.

- He was fightin' so hard to fill that gap in the Dodgers' lineup and he didn't know he was wearin' his arm out.

- Throwing' and catkin' and scooping' 'em up too fast and too much until a ball was hit his way that dropped from his hand when he tried to throw it.

- Hey, whatcha droppin' it for, Jackie? Pick it up! Throw it! Get rid of the ball! Get rid of the ball!

- But he can't throw it. He can't even lift it up. His arm swings around like its outta socket.

- They take him off the field. The coach looks him over.

- Let's see that arm. Oh. Pretty bad.

- We're gettin' near the home stretch, and they'll be pickin' players for the Dodgers. You gotta make it.

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.
