Quotes:
From "American Playhouse: Porgy and Bess" (1993)
Porgy: [singing] If there weren't no Crown, Bess, If there was only just you and Porgy, what then?
Bess: [singing] I loves you, Porgy, Don't let him take me, Don't let him handle me, And drive me mad. If you can keep me, I wants to stay here, With you forever, And I'll be glad.
