Quote
Jerry Wexler:
Ahmet believes we're family here at Atlantic Records. I believe we're family at Atlantic. Obviously you don't. Ahmet wouldn't believe it. You know what he said, Ray? He said you would never turn your back on us. Never for a schlockmeister like Sam Clark. Ha! That's rich. Sam Clark's a corporate slug who wouldn't know the difference between Earl Hines and Art Tatum! We let you grow here, Ray. Nobody's taking credit for your talent, but we nourished it. We let you do your thing. Goddamn it, we deserve better than this.
Ray Charles:
You know that I appreciate everything you guys have done here, Jerry. Ahmet, I'm very proud of the work we've done here together and Atlantic has done pretty good moneywise on my records, haven't they?
Ahmet Ertegun:
Yes, we've done very well, Ray.
Ray Charles:
You're the ones who taught me that making a record is business and find the best business deal that you can. Now seventy-five cents of every dollar and owning my own masters is a pretty damn good deal. Can you match it?
Ahmet Ertegun:
Ray we would love to match it, but we just can't. That's a better deal than Sinatra gets... I'm very proud of you.

Ahmet believes
we're family here at Atlantic.
00:00:05.419 --> 00:00:07.463
I believe we're family
here at Atlantic.
00:00:07.546 --> 00:00:09.381
Obviously, you don't!
00:00:09.084 --> 00:00:11.383
Ahmet wouldn't believe it.
00:00:11.467 --> 00:00:13.998
You know what he said, Ray?
00:00:13.093 --> 00:00:15.054
He said you would never
turn your back on us.
00:00:15.137 --> 00:00:17.264
Never for a Schlockmeister
like Sam Clark!
00:00:18.432 --> 00:00:20.517
That's rich.
Sam Clark's a corporate slug,
00:00:20.601 --> 00:00:23.771
who wouldn't know the difference
between Earl Hines and Art Tatum!
00:00:30.011 --> 00:00:32.154
We let you grow here, Ray.
00:00:32.446 --> 00:00:36.116
And nobody's taking credit for
your talent, but we nourished it.
00:00:36.617 --> 00:00:38.577
We let you do your thing.
00:00:40.162 --> 00:00:42.373
God damn it!
We deserve better than this.
00:00:42.456 --> 00:00:44.005
You know what, don't think that
I don't appreciate ...
00:00:44.583 --> 00:00:46.377
everything you guys
have done here, Jerry.
00:00:46.046 --> 00:00:49.001
Ahmet, I'm very proud of the work
that we've done here together.
00:00:49.129 --> 00:00:52.383
But, Atlantic has done pretty good
money-wise on my records, haven't they?
00:00:52.466 --> 00:00:53.884
Yes, we've done very well, Ray.
00:00:53.967 --> 00:00:57.179
You ... you were the ones that taught
me that making a record is business,
00:00:57.262 --> 00:00:59.598
and find the best
business deal you can.
00:00:59.682 --> 00:01:02.935
Now, 75 cents of every dollar,
and owning my own masters ...
00:01:03.001 --> 00:01:05.145
is a pretty damn good deal.
00:01:05.688 --> 00:01:07.999
Can you match it?
00:01:08.273 --> 00:01:12.001
Ray, we would love to
match it, but we just can't.
00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:16.999
That's a better deal
than Sinatra gets.
00:01:19.999 --> 00:01:20.953
I'm very proud of you.
00:01:23.455 --> 00:01:27.002
Looks like those boys are going
to get a taste of country dumb.
00:01:27.126 --> 00:01:28.001
Yeah.
00:01:31.999 --> 00:01:32.548
He'll be all right, man.
00:01:33.999 --> 00:01:35.634
You guys always do find the best.
