Quotes 

• Joe Adams : [showing Ray and his wife their new mansion in Los Angeles]  This foyer is designed to impress anybody who walks in the door. There's a big winding staircase, just like "Gone with the Wind".

  Ray Charles : [to his wife]  We should get our portraits painted, like Rhett and Scarlett.

• Fathead Newman : Ray, this fool, Joe Adams, is trying to fine me for being late.

  Ray Charles : What time did you get here?

  Fathead Newman : What? Just now. The band's still setting up. Jeff never...

  Joe Adams : I'm not Jeff.

  Fathead Newman : That's a fact, Jack.

  Jeff Brown : Ray, you said the band was my thing.

  Ray Charles : That's right, I did.

  Jeff Brown : Fathead, you go on back to rehearsal.

  Fathead Newman : Ray! You know how it is, you've been there.

  Jeff Brown : Fathead, go on now. I'll take care of this. Ray you want to tell me what's going on man?

  Joe Adams : I'm not doing anything I haven't been asked to do. Ray's running a business. He shouldn't have to waste time hearing why people were late.

  Jeff Brown : I'm not talking to you, Joe. I'm talking to Ray.

• Joe Adams : You don't have to talk to Ray, you're talking to me.

  Fathead Newman : I'll talk to whoever I damn well please and it sure as hell ain't you.

• Joe Adams : Everything all right, Ray?

  Ray Charles : How the hell do you think it is?
