A scene from The Jazz Singer 1927
Jakie Rabinowitz

[after singing]

Did you like that mama?

Jakie Rabinowitz

I'm glad of it. I'd rather please you then anybody I know of. Oh darlin, would you give me something?

Jakie Rabinowitz

You'll never guess. Shut your eyes mama, shut them for little Jackie. Ho, I'm gonna steal something.

Jakie Rabinowitz

[He kisses her, and they laugh together]

I'll give it back to you to someday, you see if I don't. Mama darling, if I'm a success in this show, well, we're going to move from here. Oh yes, we're move up in to Bronx. A lot of nice green grass up there and a whole lot of people you know of, there's the Ginsburgs and the Guttenburgs, the Goldbergs, a whole lotta Burgs oh I don't know them all. And I'm going to buy you a nice black silk dress mama. You'll see, the butcher's wife, she'll be jealous of you.

Sara Rabinowitz

Oh no, no...

Jakie Rabinowitz

Yes, she will, you see if she isn't. And I'm going to get you a nice pink dress that will go with your brown eyes.

Sara Rabinowitz

I, no thank you, no no, I don't need it.

Jakie Rabinowitz

What do you mean no? Who is telling you? Yes, you'll wear pink or else, or else you'll wear pink.
