Quotes 

  • Edna Spalding : We'll start right now!

    Mr. Will : Well, you got 30 acres to pick.

    Edna Spalding : Frank and Possum can help.

    Mr. Will : Well, that's not going to be nearly enough.

    Edna Spalding : Then, I'll pick 24 hours a day.

    Moze : Did you ever pick cotton? After an hour, the hulls start cuttin' your fingers. Then by noon both of your hands is bleedin'. And later on your fingers start to swell. And after a little more time, they ain't no feelin' in your hands whatsoever. And I ain't even speakin' about what it does to your knees and I ain't even talkin' about what it does to your back. Now, we can't do it. Now, get that through your head. Once and for all, we can't do it. Now, you best stop thinkin' about it before you end up killin' yourself!

    Edna Spalding : Now you listen to me. If we lose this place, then you're goin' back to beggin' for every single meal. Mr. Will, They're gonna put you in a state home. And I'm gonna lose what's left of my family. I'm not gonna let that happen. I don't care what it takes. I don't care if it kills me. I don't care if it kills you. I'm not gonna give up. And if the two of you do, you can go straight to Hell!

  • Mr. Will : [after a tornado]  How bad is it?

    Moze : Everything's a little bent, but it's still here.

  • Edna Spalding : [Moze caught with her silver in hand]  You ever try and steal anything from me again, I'll shoot you myself, You understand that?

    Moze : nods

  • Moze : [whispering to Edna]  That ain't the seed you're paying for. He's charging you for grade-A seed, but that's gin-run quality.

    Edna Spalding : Somethin' wrong, ma'am?

    Edna Spalding : Mr. Simmons, I think maybe you gave us the wrong seed?

    W.E. Simmons : Well, so I did. That's just an honest mistake, idn't it, boy? Idn't it, boy?

    Moze : Yes, sah.

    W.E. Simmons : Now you idiots give Mrs. Spalding the wrong seed. We're lucky her nigger caught it. That's a smart nigger you got there, Mrs. Spalding. He's a credit to his race.

  • Moze : What's wrong?

    Possum : Frank's gettin' a lickin'.

  • Frank : My name's Frank. My pa was killed.

    Moze : I heard about it. I'm sure sorry.

    Frank : He was shot. It was a nigger killed him.
