  • Jackie's face when Harold tells him that the racist jerkass Ben Chapman, who gleefully pushed him into his Heroic BSoD, wants a picture showing there are no hard feelings.
    Harold: No. No. I wish.
  • Jackie, take a shower with me.
  • Pittsburgh!
  • Upon receiving a threat against Jackie's life, Wendell – on the advice of Branch Rickey – packs up Jackie's things and moves him out of town. He doesn't tell Jackie why, because Mr. Rickey doesn't want these threats to get under Jackie's skin and affect the way he plays. After swerving through traffic to get away from a group of men moving towards them in a threatening manner, a startled Jackie asks Wendell what the hell is going on. Wendell finally tells Jackie of the threat, which prompts a sigh of relief from Jackie! "I thought you were moving me out because I'd been cut from the team!" As Jackie laughs, Wendell mutters, "You've got a strange sense of humor, man."
  • When Ben Chapman's boss Herb Pennock reads him the scathing article written about his racist comments to Robinson, Chapman immediately says "a Jew wrote that."
  • During Jackie's first first training, we get a tense scene where a racist police officer comes to a game to order Jackie off the field. Clay Hopper comes onto the field to defend him and the cop tells him to order Jackie to "git". We then cut to Jackie and Rachel taking a walk:
    Rachel: What did you do?
    Jackie: I said "Okay, Skipper, tell him Ah'm a-gittin'. Sho'nuff, ah is." [starts doing an exaggerated walk, Rachel laughs]
