Quotes
-
Jake : [singing, to the baby] Listen to your daddy warn you, 'Fore you starts a-travelin' Women may born you, love you, and mourn you, But a woman is a sometime thing, Yes, a woman is a sometime thing.
-
Porgy : [singing] Can't you keep your mouth off Bess? Between the Gawd-fearing ladies and the Gawd-damnin' men, That girl ain't got a chance!
Jake : [singing] Ain't I tell you Porgy's sof' on her?
Porgy : [singing] No,no, brother! Porgy ain't sof' on no woman.
[sadly, still singing]
Porgy : They pass by singin', They pass by cryin', Always lookin'. They look in my door. And they keep on movin'! When God make cripple, He mean him to be lonely. Night time, daytime, He got to travel that lonesome road. Night time, day time, He gotta travel that lonesome road.
