Geoffrey Blake: Uncle Lucious

Quotes 

• Uncle Lucious : There's a sickness coming over this town. I see it in the school yard as I pass in the morning. And to my horror, I see it in this very church on Sundays. It infects the mind. It drives people crazy.

  Sara Lance : Maybe the righteous reverend is on to something.

  Uncle Lucious : They call it rock and roll. I call it the devil's music.

  Nate Heywood : Never mind. He has no idea what he's talking about.

• Elvis Presley : Uncle Lucious, what are you doing here?

  Uncle Lucious : Well, well, well. You missed choir practice. Then I hear 'cause you're down at Sun Studios. Well, no kin of mine is gonna record the devil's music. Not after what we saw in church.

  Elvis Presley : Look, I-I got talent. My manager says so.

  Uncle Lucious : You got my nephew into this?

  Nate Heywood : Yeah.

• Uncle Lucious : Your mama's been too easy on you, boy. Look at the sort you got mixed up with. These are the types that go on down to Beale Street and dance the hoochie-koo like heathens!

  Elvis Presley : You keep on preaching hate. I'm only trying to bring folks together.

  Uncle Lucious : As the Lord destroyed the wicked, I must do the same with this record. I'll make an example of you at the Heavenly Nights of Hymms. That ought to teach them young folks a lesson.

• Nate Heywood : Reverend, you don't know what you're messing with. The music your nephew makes...

  Uncle Lucious : Has turned Memphis into Sodom and Gomorrah. I will not allow it to be the ruination of that boy's soul, too.

• Zari Tomaz : Can we have a word? And not the good word. We just wanna talk.

  Uncle Lucious : What could you possibly wanna talk about?

  Zari Tomaz : We need to talk about your nephew and his record. You can't destroy it. People need to hear it. That includes you.

  Uncle Lucious : How would y'all know what I need to hear?

  Wally West : I might actually know what you're going through. You see, my dad, he came into my life pretty late. We couldn't always figure each other out. We didn't always know how to fit into each other's lives until I knew that I just had to go and set out on my own.

  Uncle Lucious : Truly sorry to hear that, son.

  Wally West : I think you might be afraid that you're losing your nephew. But if you both could just try to understand each other, you might actually find something new between you two. You might... you might even find something really special. Now, I know someone that would love to play that record, if you're ready to give it a chance. And a lot of young souls would be moved by your nephew's voice.

  Uncle Lucious : Hmm.

  [he retrieves the record, then hands it over] 

  Uncle Lucious : Mysterious ways, indeed.

• Uncle Lucious : My nephew is on the radio. My nephew is on the radio!

  Shopkeeper : [in his shop]  Well, I'll be. Kid kept his promise.

• Uncle Lucious : Been ages since I've seen so much life in this place. Maybe you ain't so ungodly as I thought.

  Zari Tomaz : You know, you and I might have different names for God, but I'm guessing we have a lot in common, too.

  [Wally speeds in] 

  Zari Tomaz : What took you so long?

  Wally West : Seriously?

• Uncle Lucious : That music, it summoned the dead!

  Zari Tomaz : This time, he might actually be right.

  Wally West : Don't tell me you're converting.

  Zari Tomaz : No, Elvis recorded that song with the Death totem. It-it must have given his music the power to literally raise spirits.

  Wally West : You're kidding.

  Zari Tomaz : This must have been what drives everyone out of Memphis.

• Uncle Lucious : I knew I should have smashed that record when I had a chance. Now your song has gone and let the devil into my church.

  Elvis Presley : This ain't the devil's doing. You were right. Music has a power. Brings life to the lifeless, soothes the souls of the restless. But it ain't just rock and roll, either. I would like to prove it. Put an end to all this while I'm at it.

  Uncle Lucious : All right. Get on up there, boy.
