Ray Charles:
I have a question for all of you: How would like to go on the road with me?
Margie Hendricks:
Um, how much are you gonna pay us?
Ray Charles:
Ahmet takes care of all of that.
Margie Hendricks:
You mean he don't listen to you?
Ray Charles:
You better know he does. Don't worry about it. Brother Ray will take care of all of you.
Margie Hendricks:
Well my mama taught me to take care of myself, honey.
Ray Charles:
Well is your mother here?
Margie Hendricks:
No she's not, but I speak for us.
Ray Charles:
Okay Speak For Us, how about $20 a week?
Margie Hendricks:
We'll take $40. Each.
Ray Charles:
$40 each?
Margie Hendricks:
You heard me.
Ray Charles:
Naw! How about $25?
Margie Hendricks:
We'll take $30.
Ray Charles:
I better say yes before you talk me out of my drawers.
[The Cookies cheer and laugh]
Ray Charles:
Is it a deal?
Margie Hendricks:
Oh! Yeah!
Ray Charles:
From now on you guys are gonna be called the Raylettes.
Margie Hendricks:
Does that mean we have to "let Ray"?
Ray Charles:
Oh, what am I gonna do with you?
Margie Hendricks:
I'm sure you'll think of something.
