Walk the Line2005

[After record producer Sam Phillips stops Cash's band a couple of verses into their audition.]

Sam Phillips:
You know exactly what I'm telling you. We've already heard that song a hundred times. Just like that. Just... like... how... you.. sing it.

Johnny Cash:
Well, you didn't let us bring it home.

Sam Phillips:
Bring... bring it home? All right, let's bring it home. If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had one time to sing one song. Huh? One song that people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up. You tellin' me that's the song you'd sing? That same Jimmy Davis tune we hear on the radio all day, about your peace within, and how it's real, and how you're gonna shout it? Or... would you sing somethin' different. Somethin' real. Somethin' you felt. Cause I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song that truly saves people. It ain't got nothin' to do with believin' in God, Mr. Cash. It has to do with believin' in yourself.

Johnny Cash:
I got a couple of songs I wrote in the Air Force. You got anything against the Air Force?

Sam Phillips:
No.

Johnny Cash:
I do.
