Sam.
I really am happy about that.
Yeah.
I'll stop by Jeff's room
and get my money
on my way out.
Ray.
Margie, you ain't gotta leave,
baby.
I'm on your hit record.
If I'm ever going to go solo,
then now's the time.
Yeah, l... I don't want you...
I don't want you to go solo.
Ray, for once,
I'm doing something for me.
You remember the hummingbird,
right?
What?
The hummingbird, Bea.
And I don't want you to go.
Somebody will fetch you
when your bus
gets to St. Augustine.
And when you get there,
show them this sign,
and tell them you're name is
Ray Charles Robinson.
And them sandwiches I made,
don't eat 'em all at once.
You hear?
Oh, please,
don't make me go away.
I'll keep up
with the normal kids.
I'll be good,
just like George.
This ain't got nothing
to do with George.
I've taken you
as far as I can, baby.
Them teachers
at that blind school, they can
teach you things I can't.
And you need an education
in this world.
I don't want
no education!
Don't say that!
I don't!
I want to stay with you!
Stop it, Ray!
I won't have you living
hand-to-mouth like me,
you hear?
Now listen, if you
want to do something
to make your mama proud,
promise me, promise me
you'll never let nobody
turn you into no cripple.
You won't become
no charity case.
You'll stand on
your own two feet.
I promise.
I love you, baby.
I'm so proud of you.
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
Welcome back to Augusta, Ray!
Hey, good to see you.
No more segregation!
No more segregation!
Do you believe
in the protest, Ray?
Get out of here!
Ray, I'm sorry about this.
Hurry on up inside.
We got refreshments
waiting.
Mr. Charles!
Mr. Charles!
You know tonight's show
is segregated?
The dance floor
is whites only.
Negroes can't leave
the balcony.
That's how it is, man.
You know, this is Georgia.
You think we don't know that?
Negroes are persecuted
in this state every day!
Ain't nothing
I can do about that.
I'm an entertainer.
And... and we all gotta
play Jim Crow down here.
I'm sorry, man.
Now get out of here, boy.
It doesn't have to
be that way.
You could change things,
right here and now!
I'm sorry, son.
Ain't nothing I can do.
You hear that, boy?
That's the way things are.
Ain't nothing
or nobody can change it.
Now get your black ass
out of here, and take
that trash with you!
Hold on... hold on.
He... he's right.
He's right, Jeff.
Get them on the bus.
You sure?
Get them back on the bus!
Y'all heard him!
Y'all heard Ray!
Back on the bus!
Are you serious?
Get them on the bus.
I can't do nothing here.
Ray, you know me.
I'm not gonna lose money
just because you suddenly
got religion.
Ain't nothing I can do, man.
We have a contract with me.
You break it,
I'll sue your ass!
I'll win, Ray!
You gotta do
what you gotta do.
Look, I'll win big!
Do what you gotta do.
I told you,
I'll own your ass, Ray!
Thank you, Mr. Charles.
You could be the first.
No, thank you, son.
You were right.
You're right.
You'll never
work Georgia again!
He filed a lawsuit and
it's more than a fine, Ray.
This guy's got juice.
He can get you barred from
ever playing Georgia again.
But he's willing to drop
the suit if you'll
make up the gig.
Not if it's segregated.
Ray,
I admire
what you're doing, man,
but you can't afford this.
Georgia is
our highest-grossing state.
I'm not playing any more
to Jim Crow joints ever again,
did you got that?
Yeah. I got it.
Jeff, get those people in here
so we can rehearse.
Com on, y'all, let's go.
