Walk the Line quotes

Page 2 of 3

You know what your problem is, June Carter? You are afraid to be in love, you are afraid of losing control. And you know what, June Carter, I think you are afraid of livin' in my big fat shadow.

Oh really? Is that what my problem is?

My problem is that it's 2 A.M. My problem in I'm asleep. I'm on a tour bus with eight stinkin' men. Rule number one: Don't propose to a girl on a bus, you got that? Rule number two: Don't tell her it's because you had a bad dream.

June?

What?

Marry me.

[June glares.]

Ok... Ok fine... but that's the last time I'm asking.

Well, good. I hate reruns.

You're an angel.

No, I'm not.

You've been there with me.

I had a friend who needed help. You're my friend.

But I've done so many bad things.

You've done a few, that's true.

My daddy's right. It should have been me on that saw. Jack was so good. He would have done so many good things. What have I done? Just hurt everybody I know. I know I've hurt you. I'm nothin'

You're not nothin'. You are not nothin'. You are a good man, and God has given you a second chance to make things right, John. This is your chance, honey. This is your chance.

[on stage with Johnny]

We've got these people all revved up, John. Now c'mon, let's sing Jackson for 'em.

You got me all revved up. Now I've asked you forty different ways and it's time you come up with a fresh answer.

Please sing.

I'm asking you to marry me. I love you, June. Now I know I said and done a lotta things, that I hurt you, but I promise, I'll never do that again. I only want to take care of you. I will not leave you like that dutch boy with your finger in the dam.

[June shakes her head.]

June, you're my best friend...[whispers] Marry Me...

[quietly]

All right.

Yeah?
[They kiss and the crowd cheers.]

So y'all sit down, squat down or lie down but make yourselves at home 'cause here's the one and only, Mr. Johnny Cash!

There's too many "if"s and "not"s in that sentence.

There's only one actually. [shouting] There's only one "if" in that sentence, June! [to Jerry Lee] I-I thought it was a good point... I mean, there is only one.

Maybelle Carter

You should go down there to him, June.

Mama?

Maybelle Carter

He's all mixed up.

I am not goin' down there, if I go down there...

Maybelle Carter

You're already are down there, honey.

You know what that is J.R.? You know what that is...?

Carrie Cash

Stop it, Ray.

Nothing. Nothing....That what that is.... [Ray rattles a tin can] That what that's worth...and that's what you are.

Carrie Cash
[Ray throws the tin can across the kitchen, and goes on a violent outburst in the aftermath of Jack's death, causing Ray and Carrie's two daughters to cry]

Leave him alone Ray, he didn't do this.

The devil did this! He took the wrong son!

Carrie Cash

Stop it, Ray!

He was the best, and now he's gone!

Jack, please don't leave me alone...

Carrie Cash

Ray!

Quiet!

Carrie Cash

Stop it!

Girls

Daddy!

QUIET!! EVERYBODY QUIET!!

Warden

Mr. Cash? The record company asks you not to play any songs that would remind the prisoners that they are in jail.

Do you think they forget?

Warden

Perhaps you and your wife can do another spiritual.

She's not my wife, warden. I keep askin' her and she keeps sayin' "no".

Waylon Jennings

How come you ain't ever tried this kind of pickin', Luther?

Luther Perkins
[Luther picks a song on his guitar.]

Well, Waylon, whatever you're lookin' for, I've already found.

How come you're so good?

[laughs]

I ain't

You pick five times more than me.

Well, I'm bigger than you are.

You know every story in the scripture.

Well, you know every song im mama's hymnal!

Song are easy.

[laughs]

It ain't for me.

There's more words in the Bible than in the Heavenly Highway Hymns.

Look, J.R., if I'm going to be a preacher one day, I gotta know the Bible from front to back. I mean, you can't help nobody if you can't tell the right story.

They said that by noon today, it's gonna be a hundred and four.

Every race station is sayin' that to get them **** off.

Carrie Cash

Ray, why don't you let J.R. take the babies in?

I told Roz we'd have a crop today. What do I say if he pulls up here and we're shy? You ready to unload that piano?

Carrie Cash

We're not selling Daddy's piano. And I'm not the one in Bartstown drinkin' every Saturday.

Carrie Cash
[Ray angrily kicks a can.] [continuing to work, singing]

Am I a soldier of the cross, And shall I fear...

[joining in]

...to own His cause, Or speak to blush His name.

[dying]

Do you hear them, J.R.? Do you hear them angels?

Carrie Cash

I can hear them, Jack, they're beautiful. They're so beautiful.
