Jeff Brown:
Ray, I know that jealous bastard planted that lie in your head, but I've never stolen from you, Ray, and I never will. I got myself a small business loan. And, yeah, Milt Shaw was giving me a little extra, but I'm not a thief, Ray.
Ray Charles: [accuses Jeff of stealing]

Jeff Brown:
You know what, 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, man.

Well, you know what, Ray? You broke mine a long goddamn time ago.

Well, there it is.

Everything all right, Ray?
