Quotes
-
Porgy : [singing] Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin', An' nuttin's plenty for me.
-
Porgy : [singing] Bess, you is my woman now, You is, you is, And you must sing and dance and play for two instead of one. Want no wrinkle on your brow, No-how, Because the sorrow of the past is all done done, Oh, Bess, my Bess, The real happiness is just begun.
-
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.
