James Earl Jones' speech from "Field Of Dreams"
"People will come,
Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn into
the driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your
door as innocent as children, longing for the past. "Of course we won't mind if
you have a look around," you'll say. "It's only twenty dollars per person."
They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it; for it is money they
have and peace they lack..."
"And they'll like walk out to the bleachers, sit in shirt-sleeves on a perfect
afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the
baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And
they'll watch the game, and it'll be as if they had dipped themselves in magic
waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their
faces..."
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has
rolled by like an army of steamrollers; it has been erased like a blackboard,
rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this
game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and
it could be again. Ohhhh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely
come."
(Field of Dreams" (1989) Terrence Mann ~James Earl Jones~: "People Will Come")
