Martin Luther
King, Jr. : The motor is now
cranked up and we
are moving up the highway of freedom toward the city of
equality. And we can't afford to stop now, because our
nation has a date with destiny. We must keep moving. I
have a dream this afternoon that one day right here in
Detroit, Negroes will be able to buy a house anywhere
that their money will carry them, and they will be able
to get a job.
Woman : Made my peach cobbler!
Effie : Curtis!
Curtis : Hey, baby, you know my sisters.
Effie : Tell me something. Do you think it's right to
promote an amateur performer over a professional?
Curtis : I don't know what this is about.
Effie : It's about fairness, Curtis. It's about people
paying their dues.
Ain't that what you keep telling me? "Get in line, Effie.
Wait your turn." So why am I sitting here without so
much as a B-side on the 45
when an amateur like Martin Luther King, Jr. Gets his
own freakin' album? I mean, can he even sing?
Curtis : All right, that was a good one.
Effie : You're a great man, Curtis. Isn't your brother
a great man?
