Swing! (1938)

Larry Seymour: Cornell Jenkins

Quotes 

• Cornell Jenkins : Hi ya, baby.

  Amanda 'Mandy' Jenkins : Oh, so it's you!

  Cornell Jenkins : Well, what's the matter, honey?

  Amanda 'Mandy' Jenkins : Out all night, layin' around with other women!

  Cornell Jenkins : Now, you know that isn't so. I was out tryin' to win a little money. You know how it is.

  Amanda 'Mandy' Jenkins : Yes and I got to go to work and take care of you. Get outta my way!

• Cornell Jenkins : It's like this, Mandy, I ain't no loafer like some of these negroes wanna say I am, just 'cause I ain't out on some coal-heavin' job. I could be playin' the piano down at the Golden River Griddle; but, me and the manager just can't jive. But, as I started to tell ya, I'm a business man and the white folks know it too. Of course, some of these negroes, think I'm too deep for 'em, cause they can't understand me.

• Cornell Jenkins : You just believe in me first, last and always. Understand, honey?
