    You sung tenor in Jesus Is My Shepherd, right?

  • Della Bea Robinson

    Yes.

    How did you pick me out?

  • Ray Charles

    Actually, l... I hear like you see.

    Like that hummingbird outside the window, for instance.

  • Della Bea Robinson

    I can't hear her.

  • Ray Charles

    You have to listen.

  • Della Bea Robinson

    Yes.

  • Ray Charles

    Yeah.

    Yes, you can.

    OH-OH.

    You hear that?

  • Della Bea Robinson

    What?

  • Ray Charles

    Her heart just skipped a beat.

    Oh, did you like my record?

    The one that King Bee was playin'?

  • Della Bea Robinson

    It was very nice.

    Different than the others.

    I've heard a lot of your music.

  • Ray Charles

    Was it very nice, too?

    Look, Miss Antwine, if you don't really like the record, you ain't got to beat around the bush with me. I mean, my mama never did.

  • Della Bea Robinson

    It's not that I don't enjoy your music.

    It's just that I feel I've heard it before.

    I keep wondering what the real Ray Charles sound like.

  • Ray Charles

    Ray Charles? Who's he?

  • Della Bea Robinson

    Nobody, if you don't know.

  • Unknown

    Huh?

  • Della Bea Robinson

    Sorry. I should have kept my mouth shut.

  • Ray Charles

    Oh, no, no. Then you wouldn't be you.

    You know, it's not like I haven't heard that before.

    I guess I just, uh, never really listened, that's all.

    Ain't nobody ever put it that sweet, I guess.

    You know what, Miss Della Bea Antwine?
