• Burt Harvey : Then we'll be together again. On our own land.

  Lorraine : On our own land, sounds like something at the end of a rainbow.

  Burt Harvey : It looks like it too. Blue mountains and green grass and the prettiest little valley you ever saw. It's like a brand new world, Lorraine, a place where there's just today and tomorrow, and no yesterdays.

  Lorraine : There aren't any yesterdays for us, Burt. Our world started when you put this ring on my finger.

• Lorraine : [singing while she wrings out her laundry by hand]  When I was young, I used to wait on my old master, and hand him his plate and pass the bottle when we got dry and brush away the bluetail fly. Jimmy crack corn and I don't care. Jimmy crack corn and I don't care. Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, my master's gone away

  Jim Quince : You know she really makes it sound like she really likes scrubbing clothes.

  Cliff Stanton : Ah, that's them wedding bells, Jim. It makes the world sit up, and beam in. Everything seem like like rainbows and amazing, I guess.

  Jim Quince : Yup. Do you ever think ever think about taking that long big step?

  Cliff Stanton : Me? Oh, yeah, it crossed my mind once or twice. What about you?

  Jim Quince : Well, you won't say anything?

  Cliff Stanton : No, no. Take it to my grave.

  Jim Quince : Well, it happened up in Helmsworth, three, four years back. I even got the ring, paid in forty-five good hard-earned men for it too. I got right up to the church and that's when it happened.

  Cliff Stanton : What happened?

  Jim Quince : Well, I tried to go one way, and my boots went the other. I fought 'em, I fought 'em real good. But, ah, they just took off with me in 'em.
