Why don'tcha look in'a mirror? This'a white man's game, alright, get that THROUGH YOUR THICK MONKEY SKULL!
Look at me baby. Look at me baby look at me.
Robinson
No! [Panting] No. Next white son of a bitch that opens his mouth I'll smash his goddamn teeth in.
Branch Rickey
You can't do that Jack.
Jackie Robinson
So I'm supposed to just let this go on?
Branch Rickey
These men have to live with themselves.
Jackie Robinson
I have to live with myself, too! And right now I'm living a sermon out there.
Branch Rickey
You don't matter now Jack. You're in this thing. You don't have a right to pull out from the backing of people that believe in you, that respect you, that need you. If you fight, they won't say that Chapman forced you to, they'll say that you're... in over your head, that you don't belong here.
Jackie Robinson
You don't know what it's like having somebody do this to you.
Branch Rickey
No. No. You do. You're the one living the sermon. In the wilderness. Forty days. All of it. Only you.
Jackie Robinson
Not a goddam thing I can do about it...
Branch Rickey
Of course there is, you can get on there... and hit... you can get on base and- and score, you can win this game for us. Everybody needs you, you're a medicine, Jack. [Rickey comforts Robinson]
Jackie Robinson
I'm takin the field.
Branch Rickey
Who's playing first?
Jackie Robinson
I'm gonna need a new bat.
