Margie Hendricks quotes from Ray (2004)

I have a question for all of you: How would like to go on the road with me?

Margie Hendricks

Um, how much are you gonna pay us?

Ahmet takes care of all of that.

Margie Hendricks

You mean he don't listen to you?

You better know he does. Don't worry about it. Brother Ray will take care of all of you.

Margie Hendricks

Well my mama taught me to take care of myself, honey.

Well is your mother here?

Margie Hendricks

No she's not, but I speak for us.

Okay Speak For Us, how about $20 a week?

Margie Hendricks

We'll take $40. Each.

$40 each?

Margie Hendricks

You heard me.

Naw! How about $25?

Margie Hendricks

We'll take $30.

I better say yes before you talk me out of my drawers.

Is it a deal?

Margie Hendricks

Oh! Yeah!

From now on you guys are gonna be called the Raylettes.

Margie Hendricks

Does that mean we have to "let Ray"?

Oh, what am I gonna do with you?

Margie Hendricks

I'm sure you'll think of something.

Margie is drunk, Jeff. You should go home and sleep it off.

Jeff Brown

Margie, come on now, let me take you home.

Margie Hendricks

No, I'll leave when I'm good and goddamn ready to!

She's good and goddamn ready right now.

Margie Hendricks

Why don't you make me leave this, sucker! Teach you to treat me like some piece of meat!

Margie Hendricks

Listen to that crap. I thought you said ABC wasn't gonna force that nothing on him.

Jeff Brown

They didn't. It was Ray's idea. Something new.

Margie Hendricks

Well, what are we then, Jeff? Something old?

Yeah, what about us? We got to eat too.

You know what they're saying about me? Said I lost something. Said I've gone middle-of-the-road. They might as well say the same thing about you. You were the soul of this band, now every time you're around, you're just drunk. The drunk soul of a blind junkie. What a lovely couple. Why don't you just get outta here?

Margie Hendricks

I ain't drunk, Ray. I'm pregnant. Yeah, that's right. I'm having your baby.
