Places in the Heart (1984)

Jay Patterson: W.E. Simmons

Quotes 

• Edna Spalding : Mr. Simmons, I want 4 and a half cents a pound for my cotton.

  W.E. Simmons : God Almighty, lady, you don't want me, you want Santa Claus.

• Moze : [whispering to Edna]  That ain't the seed you're paying for. He's charging you for grade-A seed, but that's gin-run quality.

  Edna Spalding : Somethin' wrong, ma'am?

  Edna Spalding : Mr. Simmons, I think maybe you gave us the wrong seed?

  W.E. Simmons : Well, so I did. That's just an honest mistake, idn't it, boy? Idn't it, boy?

  Moze : Yes, sah.

  W.E. Simmons : Now you idiots give Mrs. Spalding the wrong seed. We're lucky her nigger caught it. That's a smart nigger you got there, Mrs. Spalding. He's a credit to his race.

• W.E. Simmons : You know what your trouble is, Mrs. Spalding? You are the victim of unbridled greed.
