Jeff Brown : Where you from Ray?
Ray Charles : North Florida.
Jeff Brown : Old North Florida boy. Your people still down there?
Ray Charles : Naw.
Jeff Brown : All right. Hey, pardon me for asking, but how do you get around so good without a cane or a dog?
Ray Charles : How do you get around so good without a cane or a dog?
Jeff Brown : I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry.
Ray Charles : My ears gotta be my eyes, man. Everything sounds different, you know? That's why I wear hard sole shoes so I can hear the echo of my footsteps off the wall. When I pass by an open doorway the sound changes.
Jeff Brown : Wow, that's cool.
Ray Charles : You gotta learn pretty quick if you want to get around on your own.

[Ray is recording "Georgia on my Mind"]
Margie Hendricks : Listen to that crap. I thought you said ABC wasn't gonna force nothing on him.

Margie Hendricks : What are we then, Jeff? Something old?
Fathead Newman : Yeah. We got to eat too.

[after Ray accuses Jeff of stealing]
Ray Charles : How could you do that? We've been through so much. We were like brothers.
Jeff Brown : Ray... if we were like brothers, why are you paying Joe more than you're paying me?
Ray Charles : Damn all that. You broke my heart.
Jeff Brown : Well you know what, Ray? You broke mine a long goddamn time ago.
Ray Charles : Well, there it is.
[Jeff walks away]
Jeff Brown : You know something, Ray? You're gonna get yours one day. And I pray to God he has mercy on your soul, you son of a bitch!

Fathead Newman : Ray, this fool, Joe Adams, is trying to fine me for being late.
Ray Charles : What time did you get here?
Fathead Newman : What? Just now. The band's still setting up. Jeff never...
Joe Adams : I'm not Jeff.
Fathead Newman : That's a fact, Jack.
Jeff Brown : Ray, you said the band was my thing.
Ray Charles : That's right, I did.
Jeff Brown : Fathead, you go on back to rehearsal.
Fathead Newman : Ray! You know how it is, you've been there.
Jeff Brown : Fathead, go on now. I'll take care of this. Ray you want to tell me what's going on man?
Joe Adams : I'm not doing anything I haven't been asked to do. Ray's running a business. He shouldn't have to waste time hearing why people were late.
Jeff Brown : I'm not talking to you, Joe. I'm talking to Ray.
