Edna Spalding: You took a no-account piece of land and a bunch of people that didn't know what they were doin' and you farmed that land better than anybody could - colored or white. You're the one that brought in the first bale of cotton this year. Don't you ever forget that.

Moze: [whispering to Edna] That ain't the seed you're paying for. He's charging you for grade-A seed, but that's gin-run quality.
Edna Spalding: Somethin' wrong, ma'am?
Edna Spalding: Mr. Simmons, I think maybe you gave us the wrong seed?
W.E. Simmons: Well, so I did. That's just an honest mistake, idn't it, boy? Idn't it, boy?
Moze: Yes, sah.
W.E. Simmons: Now you idiots give Mrs. Spalding the wrong seed. We're lucky her nigger caught it. That's a smart nigger you got there, Mrs. Spalding. He's a credit to his race.
