Walk the Line quotes

  • Luther Perkins: That boy Elvis sure talks a lot of poon.

  • June Carter: [on stage w/John] We've got these people all revved up, John. Now c'mon, let's sing Jackson for 'em.

    Johnny Cash: You've got me all revved up. Now I've asked you forty different ways and it's time you come up with a fresh answer.

    June Carter: Please sing.

    Johnny Cash: I'm asking you to marry me. I love you, June. Now I know I said and done a lotta things, that I hurt you, but I promise, I'll never do that again. I only want to take care of you. I will not leave you like that dutch boy with your finger in the dam.

    June Carter: [shakes head]

    Johnny Cash: You're my best friend. Marry me.

    June Carter: [quietly] All right.

    Johnny Cash: Yeah?

    [They kiss and the crowd cheers]
