Effie Melody White:
Tell me something, Curtis. Do you think it's right to promote an amateur performer over a professional?

Curtis Taylor Jr.:
I'm not sure what this is about...

Effie Melody White:
It's about fairness, Curtis. It's about people paying their dues. Isn't that what you keep telling me? "Get in line, Effie. Wait your turn". So why am I sitting here without so much as a B-side on a 45, when an amateur like Martin Luther King Jr. gets his own freaking album? I mean, can he even sing?
