[Wendell speeds away from a crowd of threatening white men]

What the hell, Wendell?

Wendell Smith

A man came by while you was asleep. He said more men were coming. It might have been those fellas. Mr. Rickey said to get you to Daytona Beach ASAP.

Jackie Robinson

Why didn't you say so?

Wendell Smith

Well, Mr. Rickey was afraid you wouldn't want to leave. You'd want to stay there and fight.

Wendell Smith
[Jackie starts laughing]

Man, what in the hell are you laughing at?

Jackie Robinson

I thought you woke me because, because I was cut from the team.
