Emma Mae (1976)

Hank Smith: Mr. Davies

Quotes 

• Emma Mae : I don't understand. They always talkin' about how we young people never try to do nothin' but used dope and kill each other up in the street. Then, when we try to do somethin' the way they say its supposed to be done, they mess with us and try to shut us down. Mr. Davies, what is it all about?

  Mr. Davies : I'm going to tell you something, Emma. I respect you. And believe me, I feel sorry for you. You see, those people up there are looking down here and they see one little black country girl organizing a bunch of kids that society, with all their money and their brains, said there was no saving. You scare them. You scare them; because, you embarrass them. Add to that the fact that you're trying to get two cop beaters off and - that's where we are now.
