[At the Dodgers office, player Pee Wee Reese enters while Rickey is on the desk]
Branch Rickey: What can I do for you, Pee Wee?
Pee Wee Reese: Well, Mr. Rickey, it's like this. The series in Cincinnati next week?
Branch Rickey: Yes. Important road trip. We're only three games out of first.
Pee Wee Reese: Yes, sir. Now, you know I'm from Kentucky.
Branch Rickey: Then Cincinnati will nearly be a home game for you.
Pee Wee Reese: Well... ..I got this letter. Apparently, some people aren't too happy about me playing with Robinson. [Dump a piece of paper on Rickey's desk]
Branch Rickey: Huh? [Unfolds the letter] "**** lover. Watch yourself. We'll get you, carpetbagger." [Chuckles] Pretty typical stuff.
Pee Wee Reese: Well, it's not typical to me, sir.
Branch Rickey: [Browses through a filing cabinet] How many of those letters have you gotten, Pee Wee?
Pee Wee Reese: Just the one. Ain't that enough? [Watches Rickey pull out stacks of folders with papers] What are those?
Branch Rickey: Well, I'll tell you what they aren't. They aren't letters from the Jackie Robinson fan club.
Pee Wee Reese: [Reading them] "Get out of baseball or your baby boy will die." "Quit baseball or your **** wife..." "Get out of the game or be killed." Does Jackie know?
Branch Rickey: Well, of course he does. And the FBI. They're taking a threat in Cincinnati pretty seriously. So excuse me if I don't get too upset about you getting called a carpetbagger. You should be proud.
Pee Wee Reese: Well, I'd just like to play ball, sir. That's all.
Branch Rickey: Oh, I understand. I bet Jackie just wants to play ball. I bet he wishes he wasn't leading the League in hit by pitch. I bet he wishes people didn't want to kill him. The world's not so simple anymore. Guess it never was. We just, uh... Baseball ignored it, now we can't.
