1. - When'll you be back, Roy?
- Oh, in a couple of weeks.Copy !req
2. Don't do nothing
you wouldn't want me to hear about.Copy !req
3. - Well, so long.
- So long.Copy !req
4. How about a lift, mister?Copy !req
5. - Can't you see that sticker?
- Sure, I see it.Copy !req
6. But a good guy don't pay no attention to
what some heel makes him stick on his truck.Copy !req
7. Well, scrunch down on the running board
till we get around the bend.Copy !req
8. - Going far?
- No, just a couple of miles.Copy !req
9. I'd have walked her
if my dogs wasn't pooped out.Copy !req
10. - Looking for a job?
- No. My old man's got a place.Copy !req
11. 40 acres. He's a sharecropper,
but we've been there a long while.Copy !req
12. Oh.Copy !req
13. - Been doing a job?
- Yeah.Copy !req
14. I seen your hands.
You been swinging a pick or a sledge.Copy !req
15. That's what makes them shiny.
I notice things like that all the time.Copy !req
16. Got a trade?Copy !req
17. - Why don't you get at it, buddy?
- Get at what?Copy !req
18. You know. You been goin' over me since
I got in. Why don't you ask where I've been?Copy !req
19. I don't stick my nose in nobody's business.
I stay in my own yard.Copy !req
20. That big nose of yours been goin' over me
like a sheep in a vegetable patch.Copy !req
21. I ain't keepin' it secret. I've been
in the penitentiary. Been there four years.Copy !req
22. - Anything else?
- You ain't gotta get sore.Copy !req
23. - Ask me anything.
- I didn't mean nothing.Copy !req
24. Me neither. I'm just trying to get along
without shovin' anybody, that's all.Copy !req
25. See that road ahead? That's where I get out.Copy !req
26. You're about to bust a gut to know what I
done, ain't you? I ain't a guy to let you down.Copy !req
27. Homicide.Copy !req
28. - Howdy, friend.
- Howdy.Copy !req
29. Say...Copy !req
30. Ain't you young Tom Joad, old Tom's boy?Copy !req
31. Yeah. I'm on my way home now.Copy !req
32. Well, I do declare.Copy !req
33. I baptised you, son.Copy !req
34. Ain't you the preacher?Copy !req
35. Used to be.Copy !req
36. Not no more.Copy !req
37. I lost the call.Copy !req
38. But, boy, I sure used to have it.Copy !req
39. I used to get an irrigation ditch
so full of repented sinnersCopy !req
40. I'd pretty near drown half of 'em.Copy !req
41. But not no more.Copy !req
42. I lost the spirit.Copy !req
43. I got nothing to preach about
no more, that's all.Copy !req
44. I ain't so sure of things.Copy !req
45. I remember you preaching a sermonCopy !req
46. walking around on your hands,
shoutin' your head off.Copy !req
47. Yeah, I remember.Copy !req
48. Went pretty good that way.Copy !req
49. But that was nothin'.Copy !req
50. I preached a whole sermon once
straddling the ridge pole of a barn.Copy !req
51. Like this.Copy !req
52. - Did you see that one?
- No.Copy !req
53. You didn't?Copy !req
54. Oh.Copy !req
55. Well, it's all gone anyway.Copy !req
56. You should have got yourself a wife.Copy !req
57. Why, at my meetings, I used to get the girls
a- glory-shoutin' till they about passed out.Copy !req
58. Then I'd go to comfort 'em.Copy !req
59. I'd always end up by loving 'em.Copy !req
60. I'd feel bad and pray and pray,
but it didn't do no good.Copy !req
61. Next time do it again.Copy !req
62. I figured I just wasn't worth saving.Copy !req
63. Pa always says you was never
cut out for no preacher.Copy !req
64. I never let one get by me if I could catch her.
Have a snort?Copy !req
65. But you wasn't a preacher.
A girl was just a girl to you.Copy !req
66. To me they's holy vessels.Copy !req
67. I was saving their souls.Copy !req
68. I asked myself,
what is this here called holy spirit?Copy !req
69. Maybe that's love.Copy !req
70. Why, I love everybody so much
I'm fit to burst sometimes.Copy !req
71. So... maybe there ain't no sin
and there ain't no virtue.Copy !req
72. It's just what people does.Copy !req
73. Some things folks do is nice
and some ain't so nice.Copy !req
74. And that's all any man's got a right to say.Copy !req
75. Of course, I'll say a grace
if somebody sets out the food.Copy !req
76. But my heart ain't in it.Copy !req
77. - Nice drinkin' liquor.
- Ought to be. It's factory liquor. Cost a buck.Copy !req
78. - You been out travelling around?
- Ain't you heard? It's been in the papers.Copy !req
79. - No, I never. What?
- I've been in the penitentiary for four years.Copy !req
80. Excuse me for asking.Copy !req
81. I don't mind no more.
I'd do what I done again.Copy !req
82. Killed a guy in a dance hall.Copy !req
83. We was drunk. He got a knife in me
and I laid him out with a shovel.Copy !req
84. - Knocked his head plumb to squash.
- You ain't ashamed?Copy !req
85. No. He had a knife in me.
That's why they only gave me seven years.Copy !req
86. I got out in four. Parole.Copy !req
87. - Ain't seen your folks since?
- No, but I aim to before sundown.Copy !req
88. And I'm gettin' excited about it too.Copy !req
89. - Which way are you goin'?
- Oh, it don't matter.Copy !req
90. Ever since I lost the spirit, looks like
I'd just as soon go one way as the other.Copy !req
91. I'll go your way.Copy !req
92. Maybe Ma will have pork for supper.Copy !req
93. I ain't had pork but four times in four years.
Every Christmas.Copy !req
94. I'll be glad to see your pa.Copy !req
95. Last time I seen him was at a baptising.Copy !req
96. He had one of the biggest doses
of the holy spirit I ever seen.Copy !req
97. Got to jumping over bushes.
Howlin' like a dog-wolf at moon-time.Copy !req
98. Finally, he picks himself out
a bush big as a pianoCopy !req
99. and he lets out a squawk
and takes a run at that bush.Copy !req
100. Well, he cleared her.Copy !req
101. But he bust his leg snap in two doing it.Copy !req
102. There was a travelling dentist and he set
her and I gave her a praying over, but...Copy !req
103. there wasn't no more holy spirit
left in your pa after that.Copy !req
104. - Listen. That wind's fixing to do something.
- Sure it is.Copy !req
105. Always is this time of year.Copy !req
106. Ma?Copy !req
107. Pa?Copy !req
108. Ma?Copy !req
109. Ain't nobody here.Copy !req
110. - Something's happened.
- You got a match?Copy !req
111. They're all gone or dead.Copy !req
112. - They never wrote you nothing?
- No. They wasn't people to write.Copy !req
113. It's Ma's. She had 'em for years.Copy !req
114. Used to be mine.
I gave it to Grandpa when I went away.Copy !req
115. You reckon they're dead?Copy !req
116. I never heard nothing about it.Copy !req
117. Tommy?Copy !req
118. Muley.Copy !req
119. - Where's my folks, Muley?
- Why, they gone.Copy !req
120. I know they're gone,
but where are they gone?Copy !req
121. It's Muley Graves.
You remember the preacher, don't you?Copy !req
122. - I ain't no preacher any more.
- All right. You remember the man?Copy !req
123. - Glad to see you again.
- Now, where are my folks?Copy !req
124. They gone. They gone to your Uncle John's.
The whole crowd of 'em. Two weeks ago.Copy !req
125. But they can't stay there,
cos John's got his notice to get off.Copy !req
126. What happened?
How come they gotta get off?Copy !req
127. We lived here 50 years, same place.Copy !req
128. Everybody's gotta get off.
Everybody's leaving. Going out to California.Copy !req
129. Your folks, my folks, everybody's folks.Copy !req
130. Everybody except me. I ain't getting off!Copy !req
131. - Who done it?
- Listen.Copy !req
132. That's some of what done it.
The dusters. They started it, anyways.Copy !req
133. Blowin' like this year after year.Copy !req
134. Blowin' the land away.
Blowin' the crops away!Copy !req
135. Blowin' us away now.Copy !req
136. Are you crazy?Copy !req
137. Some say I am.
You wanna hear how it happened?Copy !req
138. That's what I'm asking you, ain't it?Copy !req
139. Well... the way it happens,Copy !req
140. the way it happened to me...Copy !req
141. A man come one day...Copy !req
142. After what them dusters done to the land,
the tenant system don't work no more.Copy !req
143. They don't break even,
much less show profit.Copy !req
144. One man and a tractor
can handle 12 or 14 of these places.Copy !req
145. You just pay him a wage
and take all the crop.Copy !req
146. Yeah, but we couldn't do
on any less than what our share is now.Copy !req
147. The children ain't getting enough
to eat as it is. And they're so ragged,Copy !req
148. we'd be ashamed if everybody else's
children wasn't the same.Copy !req
149. I can't help that. I got my orders.
They told me to tell you to get off.Copy !req
150. - That's what I'm tellin' you.
- You mean get off my own land?Copy !req
151. - Don't go to blaming me. It ain't my fault.
- Whose fault is it?Copy !req
152. You know who owns the land.
Shawnee Land and Cattle Company.Copy !req
153. - Who's Shawnee Land and Cattle Company?
- Nobody. It's a company.Copy !req
154. They got a president. They got
somebody who knows what a shotgun's for!Copy !req
155. Oh, son, it ain't his fault
because the bank tells him what to do.Copy !req
156. - All right. Where's the bank?
- Tulsa. What's the use of picking on him?Copy !req
157. He ain't nothing but the manager. He's half
crazy trying to keep up with his orders.Copy !req
158. - Then who do we shoot?
- Brother, I don't know.Copy !req
159. If I did, I'd tell you.
I just don't know who's to blame.Copy !req
160. I'm right here to tell you, mister: There ain't
nobody gonna push me off my land!Copy !req
161. My grandpa took up this land 70 years ago!Copy !req
162. My pa was born here. We was all born on it!
And some of us was killed on it!Copy !req
163. And some of us... died on it.Copy !req
164. That's what makes it our'n.Copy !req
165. Being born on it,Copy !req
166. and workin' on it...Copy !req
167. and dying... dying on it!Copy !req
168. And not no piece of paper with writing on it...Copy !req
169. Well, what happened?Copy !req
170. They come. They come and pushed me off.Copy !req
171. - They come with the cats.
- The what?Copy !req
172. The cats, the caterpillar tractors.Copy !req
173. And for every one of 'em, there was ten,
15 families thrown right out of their homes.Copy !req
174. 100 folks. And no place to live
but on the road.Copy !req
175. The Rances, the Peterses,
the Perrys, the Joadses...Copy !req
176. One right after the other, they got thrown out.Copy !req
177. Half the folks you and me know
thrown right out into the road.Copy !req
178. The one that got me come about a month ago.Copy !req
179. Go on back!Copy !req
180. Go on back! I'm warning you! Go on back!Copy !req
181. You come any closer
and I'm gonna blow you right out of that cat!Copy !req
182. I told you!Copy !req
183. - You're Joe Davis' boy.
- I don't like for nobody to draw a bead on me.Copy !req
184. Then what are you doing this for?
Against your own people.Copy !req
185. Three dollars a day,
that's what I'm doing it for.Copy !req
186. I got two little kids at home. My wife.
My wife's mother. Them folks gotta eat.Copy !req
187. First and only, I think about my folks.
What happens to others is their own lookout.Copy !req
188. Yeah, but you don't understand, son.
This is my land!Copy !req
189. Used to be. It's the company's now.Copy !req
190. Have it your own way, son. Butjust as sure
as you touch my house with that cat,Copy !req
191. I'm gonna blow you plumb to kingdom come!Copy !req
192. You ain't gonna blow nobody nowhere!
First place, they'd hang you and you know it.Copy !req
193. It wouldn't be two days before
they'd send a guy to take my place.Copy !req
194. Now go on! Get outta the way!Copy !req
195. What was the use? He was right.Copy !req
196. There wasn't a thing in the worid
I could do about it.Copy !req
197. It's just... it don't seem possible
just getting throwed off like that.Copy !req
198. The rest of my family set out for the West.Copy !req
199. There wasn't nothing to eat, but... I couldn't
leave. Something just wouldn't let me.Copy !req
200. So now I just wander around
and sleep wherever I am.Copy !req
201. I used to tell myself
that I was looking out for thingsCopy !req
202. so that when the folks come back,
everything would be all right.Copy !req
203. But I knowed it wasn't true.Copy !req
204. There ain't nothin' to look out for.Copy !req
205. And there ain't nobody ever coming back.Copy !req
206. They're gone!Copy !req
207. And me...Copy !req
208. I'm just an old graveyard ghost.Copy !req
209. That's all in the worid I am.Copy !req
210. Do you think I'm touched?Copy !req
211. No.Copy !req
212. You're Ionely, but...Copy !req
213. you ain't touched.Copy !req
214. Well, it don't matter. If I'm touched,
I'm touched and that's all there is to it.Copy !req
215. The thing I don't understand
is my folks taking it. Like Ma.Copy !req
216. I seen her nearly beat
a pedlar to death with a live chicken.Copy !req
217. She aimed to go with an axe in the other
hand, got mixed up, forgot which was which.Copy !req
218. When she got through with that pedlar,
all she had left was two chicken legs.Copy !req
219. Just a...Copy !req
220. Just a plain old graveyard ghost.Copy !req
221. That's all.Copy !req
222. She's settling.Copy !req
223. What do you figure on doing?Copy !req
224. It's hard to say.Copy !req
225. Stay here till morning,
go to Uncle John's, I reckon.Copy !req
226. After that, I don't know.Copy !req
227. Listen.Copy !req
228. That's them. Them lights.Copy !req
229. Come on. Come on. We gotta hide out.Copy !req
230. Hide out for what? We ain't doing nothing.Copy !req
231. You're trespassing. This ain't your land no
more! That's the superintendent with a gun.Copy !req
232. - Come on!
- Come on, Tom. You're on parole.Copy !req
233. Muley!Copy !req
234. All you gotta do is hide and watch.Copy !req
235. - Won't they come out here?
- I don't think so.Copy !req
236. - One came out once and I clipped him...
- Shh!Copy !req
237. from behind with a fence stake.Copy !req
238. They ain't bothered since.Copy !req
239. He ain't here.Copy !req
240. Anybody ever told me
I'd be hiding out in my own place...Copy !req
241. Lord, make us grateful for what
we are about to receive, for His sake. Amen.Copy !req
242. I seen you. You ate during grace.Copy !req
243. Just one little dab.
Just one teeny little old dab. That's all.Copy !req
244. - Ain't he messy though.
- I seen him. Gobbling away like an old pig.Copy !req
245. Why don't you keep
your eyes shut during grace?Copy !req
246. What's it say again, Uncle John?Copy !req
247. It says, "Plenty of work in California.
800 pickers wanted."Copy !req
248. Wait till I get to California. I'm gonna reach up
and pick me an orange whenever I want it.Copy !req
249. Or some grapes. Now-now-now, there's
something I ain't never had enough of.Copy !req
250. I'm gonna get me
a whole big bunch of grapes off a bushCopy !req
251. and I'm gonna squash 'em all over my face
and let the juice drain down off of my chin.Copy !req
252. Praise the Lord for victory!Copy !req
253. Maybe I'll get me
a whole washtub full of grapesCopy !req
254. and just sit in 'em and scrounge
around in 'em until they're all gone.Copy !req
255. I sure would like that.
Yes, sir, I sure would like that.Copy !req
256. Oh, thank God. Thank God.Copy !req
257. Tommy.Copy !req
258. Ma.Copy !req
259. - You didn't bust out? You ain't gotta hide?
- No, Ma. I'm paroled. I got my papers.Copy !req
260. Oh.Copy !req
261. I was just scared we was going away without
you and we'd never see each other again.Copy !req
262. I'd have found you, Ma.Copy !req
263. Muley told me what happened.Copy !req
264. We going to California true?Copy !req
265. We've gotta go, Tommy,
but it's gonna be all right.Copy !req
266. I seen the handbills about how much
work there is, and high wages too.Copy !req
267. There's something I gotta find out first,
Tommy. Did they hurt you, son?Copy !req
268. - Did they hurt you and make you mean mad?
- Mad, Ma?Copy !req
269. - Sometimes they do.
- No, Ma. I was at first, but not no more.Copy !req
270. Sometimes they do something to you.Copy !req
271. They hurt you and you get mad
and then you get mean.Copy !req
272. And they hurt you again
and you get meaner and meaner,Copy !req
273. till you ain't no boy nor man any more,
just a walking chunk of mean mad.Copy !req
274. - Did they hurt you that way, son?
- No, Ma. Don't worry about that.Copy !req
275. Well, I...Copy !req
276. I don't want no mean son.Copy !req
277. It's Tommy. It's Tommy back.Copy !req
278. What did you do, son? Bust out?Copy !req
279. Tommy's out ofjail!Copy !req
280. I... I knowed it! You couldn't keep him in.
You can't keep a Joad in jail.Copy !req
281. I knowed it from the first.Copy !req
282. Get out of my way! I told you so. I told you
Tom would come bustin' out of thatjailCopy !req
283. just like a bull through corral fence.
You can't keep a Joad in jail.Copy !req
284. - I didn't bust out. They paroled me.
- I was that way myself.Copy !req
285. - How are you, Uncle John?
- Hello, Tommy. I'm feeling fine.Copy !req
286. - How are you, Noah?
- Fine, Tommy. Bust out?Copy !req
287. No, parole.Copy !req
288. - Hello.
- Tommy.Copy !req
289. The jailbird's back! The jailbird's back!Copy !req
290. - Hiya, Al.
- Hello, Tom.Copy !req
291. - Did you bust out ofjail?
- No, they paroled me.Copy !req
292. Rosasharn.Copy !req
293. Busted out.Copy !req
294. That's Connie Rivers with her.
They're married now.Copy !req
295. She's due now about three, four months.Copy !req
296. She wasn't any more
than a kid when I went up.Copy !req
297. - Hiya, Rosasharn.
- How are you, Tom?Copy !req
298. This is Connie, my husband.Copy !req
299. - Did you...
- No, parole.Copy !req
300. Well, if this don't beat all.
I see I'm going to be an uncle soon.Copy !req
301. Oh, you do not see.Copy !req
302. - Look at her blush. Look at her blush.
- Look at her blushing.Copy !req
303. Hey, Joad! John Joad.Copy !req
304. - You ain't forgot, have you?
- We ain't forgot.Copy !req
305. - We'll be coming through here tomorrow.
- I know.Copy !req
306. We be out. We be out by sun-up.Copy !req
307. - How did you get all this money?
- Sold things. Chopped cotton. Even Grandpa.Copy !req
308. Got us about $200 all told.
Shucked out 75 for this here truck.Copy !req
309. Still got nearly 150 to set out on. I figure
we ought to be able to make her on that.Copy !req
310. Easy. After all,
they ain't but about 12 of us, is they?Copy !req
311. She'll probably ride like a bull calf,
but she'll ride.Copy !req
312. I reckon we better begin rousting them out
if we aim to get out by daylight.Copy !req
313. How about it, John? How you boys coming?Copy !req
314. Ma.Copy !req
315. I'm ready.Copy !req
316. Rosasharn, honey. Wake up the children.
We're fixing to leave.Copy !req
317. Ruthie. Winfield. Jump up now.Copy !req
318. - Where's Grandpa? Al, go get him.
- I'm gonna get up front. Somebody help me.Copy !req
319. Wait.Copy !req
320. - Kids, you climb up on top first.
- We're going to California!Copy !req
321. Al's gonna drive, Ma. Sit with him
and Grandma and we'll swap later.Copy !req
322. Connie. Help Rosasharn
up there alongside the kids.Copy !req
323. - Where's Grandpa?
- Grandpa!Copy !req
324. Where he always is, probably.Copy !req
325. Oh.Copy !req
326. Grandpa! Grandpa!Copy !req
327. Save him a place. John, you and Noah
climb up and find a place.Copy !req
328. Got to kind of keep her even all around.Copy !req
329. - Think it'll hold?
- If it does, it'll be a miracle out of Scripture.Copy !req
330. Ma. Pa.Copy !req
331. Let go of me, goldurn you! Dang you!Copy !req
332. Please. There's something
the matter with him.Copy !req
333. - Why don't you stand still!
- There's something wrong with him.Copy !req
334. - You let me alone, that's all.
- That's all what?Copy !req
335. What's the matter, Grandpa?Copy !req
336. What's the matter?
There's nothing the matter. I just...Copy !req
337. - I just ain't going, that's all.
- What do you mean? We gotta go.Copy !req
338. We got no place to stay.Copy !req
339. I ain't talking about you. I'm talking about me.Copy !req
340. I give her a good going over
all last night and I'm staying.Copy !req
341. But you can't do that, Grandpa.
This here land's going under the tractor.Copy !req
342. - We all got to get out.
- All except me and I'm staying.Copy !req
343. - What about Grandma?
- Take her with you!Copy !req
344. Who'd cook for you, Grandpa?
How are you gonna live?Copy !req
345. Muley's living, ain't he?
And I'm twice the man that Muley is.Copy !req
346. Now, listen to me, Grandpa.
Listen to me just a minute.Copy !req
347. And I ain't listening either.Copy !req
348. I told you what I was gonna do
and I don't give a hoot and a hollerCopy !req
349. if there's oranges and grapes
crowding a fella out of bed.Copy !req
350. I ain't going to California.Copy !req
351. Goldurn! This is my country
and I belong here.Copy !req
352. Yes, sir.Copy !req
353. It's my dirt.Copy !req
354. It's no good, but it's...Copy !req
355. it's mine, all mine.Copy !req
356. Either we got to tie him up and throw him
in the truck, or something. He can't stay here.Copy !req
357. No, can't tie him. Either we'll hurt him,
or he'll get so mad, he'll hurt himself.Copy !req
358. - Reckon we could get him drunk?
- Ain't no whiskey, is there?Copy !req
359. Now, wait. There's a half a bottle
of soothing syrup here.Copy !req
360. Here. Used to put the children to sleep.Copy !req
361. - Don't taste bad.
- There's coffee left. We can fix him a cup.Copy !req
362. - That's right, douse some in it.
- Better give him a good dose.Copy !req
363. He's mighty muleheaded.Copy !req
364. If Muley...Copy !req
365. If Muley can scramble along, I...Copy !req
366. I guess I can.Copy !req
367. I smell spareribs.Copy !req
368. Somebody's been eating spareribs.
How come I ain't got none?Copy !req
369. Well, I got some saved for you, Grandpa.
Got some warming now.Copy !req
370. But here's a cup of coffee for you first.Copy !req
371. Get me a mess of spareribs.Copy !req
372. I want a great big mess of spareribs.Copy !req
373. - I'm... I'm hungry.
- Why, sure you're hungry.Copy !req
374. I... sure do like spareribs.Copy !req
375. - Get up there, Noah.
- Put his feet in there first, Tom.Copy !req
376. Easy, now. Easy!Copy !req
377. Better throw something over him
so he won't get sunstruck.Copy !req
378. Everything all set now?
All right, let her go, Al.Copy !req
379. Get aboard, Ma.Copy !req
380. - Well, goodbye and good luck.
- Hold her, Al.Copy !req
381. Ain't you goin' with us?Copy !req
382. I'd like to.Copy !req
383. There's something going on out there in the
West and I'd like to try and learn what it is.Copy !req
384. If you feel you've got the room.Copy !req
385. Plenty of room. Get on.Copy !req
386. - Let her go, Al!
- California, here we come!Copy !req
387. Ain't you gonna look back, Ma?
Give the old place a last look?Copy !req
388. We're going to California, ain't we?
All right then, let's go to California.Copy !req
389. That don't sound like you.
You never was like that before.Copy !req
390. I never had my house pushed over before.Copy !req
391. Never had my family stuck out on the road.Copy !req
392. Never had to lose everything I had in life.Copy !req
393. - It's gonna be all right, Grandpa.
- I ain't going.Copy !req
394. I ain't going. I ain't going.Copy !req
395. I ain't going.Copy !req
396. It's all right, Grandpa.Copy !req
397. You're just tired, that's all.Copy !req
398. That's it.Copy !req
399. Just tired.Copy !req
400. Just...Copy !req
401. tired.Copy !req
402. "This here is William James Joad.
Died of a stroke, old, old man."Copy !req
403. "His folks buried him because
they got no money to pay for funeral... s."Copy !req
404. "Nobody killed him.
Just a stroke and he died."Copy !req
405. I figure best we leave
something like this on him,Copy !req
406. 'lest somebody digs him up
and makes out he was killed.Copy !req
407. Looks like a lot of times the government's got
more interest in a dead man than a live one.Copy !req
408. Not be so Ionesome,
knowing his name's there with him.Copy !req
409. Notjust an old fella Ionesome underground.Copy !req
410. Would you say a few words, Casy?Copy !req
411. I ain't a preacher no more, you know.Copy !req
412. We know, but ain't none of our folks
ever been buried without a few words.Copy !req
413. I'll say 'em, make it short.Copy !req
414. This here old man just...Copy !req
415. lived a life and just died out of it.Copy !req
416. I don't know whether he was good or bad.Copy !req
417. It don't matter much.Copy !req
418. Heard a fella say a poem once.Copy !req
419. And he says, "All that lives is holy."Copy !req
420. Well, I wouldn't pray
just for an old man that's dead,Copy !req
421. cos he's all right.Copy !req
422. If I was to pray, I'd pray for folks that's
alive and don't know which way to turn.Copy !req
423. Grandpa here...Copy !req
424. he ain't got no more trouble like that.Copy !req
425. He's got his job all cut out for him,
so cover him up and let him get to it.Copy !req
426. Gosh, Connie sure sings pretty, don't he?Copy !req
427. - That's my son-in-law.
- Sings real nice. What state you all from?Copy !req
428. Oklahoma. Had us a farm there,
sharecropping.Copy !req
429. We're from Arkansas.Copy !req
430. Had me a store there.
Kind of a general notions store.Copy !req
431. When the farms went, the stores went too.Copy !req
432. I had as nice a little store as you ever saw.Copy !req
433. I sure did hate to give it up.Copy !req
434. Well, you can't tell.Copy !req
435. I figure when we get out there
and get work,Copy !req
436. maybe get us a piece of growing land
near water, it might not be so bad at that.Copy !req
437. That's right. Paying good wages, I hear.Copy !req
438. - We can all get work.
- Can't be no worse than home.Copy !req
439. You all must have a pot of money.Copy !req
440. No, we ain't got no money, but there's
plenty of us to work and we're all good men.Copy !req
441. Get good wages out there and put it
all together and we'll be all right.Copy !req
442. Good wages, eh?
Picking oranges and peaches?Copy !req
443. - Well, we aim to take whatever they got.
- What's so funny about that?Copy !req
444. What's so funny about it?
I've just been out there.Copy !req
445. I've been and seen it.
I'm going back and starveCopy !req
446. because I'd rather starve all over at once.Copy !req
447. What do you think you're talking about? I got
a handbill says they're paying good wages.Copy !req
448. I seen in the papers they need pickers.Copy !req
449. All right, go on. Nobody's stopping you.Copy !req
450. - Yeah, but what about this?
- I ain't gonna rile you. Go on.Copy !req
451. Wait a minute, buddy. You just done
some jackassin'. You can't shut up now.Copy !req
452. It says they need 800 pickers. You laugh
and say they don't. Which one's the liar?Copy !req
453. - How many of you all got them handbills?
- I got one.Copy !req
454. - I got one.
- We all got one.Copy !req
455. - What does that prove?
- There you are. Same yellow handbill.Copy !req
456. 800 pickers wanted.Copy !req
457. All right, the man wants 800 men.
So he prints 5,000 handbillsCopy !req
458. and maybe 20,000 people see 'em.Copy !req
459. And maybe two or 3,000 people start west
on account of that handbill.Copy !req
460. Two or 3,000 people that are crazy with worryCopy !req
461. heading out for 800 jobs.
Now, does that make sense?Copy !req
462. Say, what are you, a troublemaker?
You sure you ain't one of them labour fakes?Copy !req
463. I... I swear I ain't, mister.Copy !req
464. Don't you go around here
trying to stir up any trouble.Copy !req
465. I tried to tell you folks
what it took me a year to find out.Copy !req
466. Took two kids dead. Took my wife dead to
show me. But nobody could tell me neither.Copy !req
467. I can't tell you about them little fellows laying
in the tent with their bellies swelled outCopy !req
468. and just skin over their bones.Copy !req
469. Shivering and whining like pups.Copy !req
470. And me running around looking for work.Copy !req
471. Not for money. Not for wages.Copy !req
472. Just for a cup of flour and a spoon of lard.Copy !req
473. Then the coroner come.Copy !req
474. "Them children died of heart failure," he said.
He put it down in his paper.Copy !req
475. Heart failure?Copy !req
476. And their little bellies
stuck out like a pig bladder.Copy !req
477. Well, it's late. I got to get some sleep.Copy !req
478. Well...Copy !req
479. Good night, folks.Copy !req
480. Suppose he's telling the truth, that fella?Copy !req
481. He's telling the truth.Copy !req
482. The truth for him.Copy !req
483. He wasn't making it up.Copy !req
484. Was it the truth for us?Copy !req
485. I don't know.Copy !req
486. I got to get out, I tell you.Copy !req
487. I gotta get out now.Copy !req
488. - You folks aim to buy anything?
- We want some gas, mister.Copy !req
489. - Got any money?
- What do you think? We're begging?Copy !req
490. - I just asked, that's all.
- Well, ask right. You ain't talking to bums.Copy !req
491. All in the worid I done was ask.Copy !req
492. - What kind of pie you got?
- Banana, pineapple, chocolate and apple.Copy !req
493. Cut me a hunk of that banana cream
and a cup ofjava.Copy !req
494. - Make it two.
- Two it is.Copy !req
495. Seen any good etchings lately, Bill?Copy !req
496. Well, this one ain't bad. A little kid
comes late for school and the teacher says...Copy !req
497. Cheese it.Copy !req
498. Could you see your way clear
to sell us a loaf of bread, ma'am?Copy !req
499. This ain't a grocery store.
We got bread to make sandwiches.Copy !req
500. I know, ma'am. Only, it's for an old lady.Copy !req
501. No teeth. Got to soften it with water
so she can chew it, and she's hungry.Copy !req
502. Why don't you buy a sandwich?
We got nice ones.Copy !req
503. Well, I sure would like to do that, ma'am.
But the fact is, we ain't got but a dime for it.Copy !req
504. It's all figured out - I mean for the trip.Copy !req
505. You can't buy no loaf of bread for a dime.
We only got 15-cent loaves.Copy !req
506. - Give him the bread.
- We'll run out before the bread truck comes!Copy !req
507. All right, then we run out!Copy !req
508. This here's a 15-cent loaf.Copy !req
509. Well, would you... could you see your way
to cutting off ten cents worth?Copy !req
510. - Give him the loaf.
- No, sir. We wanna buy ten cents worth.Copy !req
511. Go on, it's yesterday's bread.Copy !req
512. Go ahead. Bert says to take it.Copy !req
513. Well, it may sound funny, being so tight,
but we got 1,000 miles to goCopy !req
514. and we don't know if we'll make it.Copy !req
515. Is them penny candies, ma'am?Copy !req
516. - Which ones?
- There, them stripy ones.Copy !req
517. Oh, them.Copy !req
518. Well... no.Copy !req
519. - Them's two for a penny.
- Give us two then, ma'am.Copy !req
520. Go on, take 'em, take 'em.Copy !req
521. Thank you, ma'am.Copy !req
522. - Them ain't two-for-a-cent candy.
- What's it to you?Copy !req
523. - Them's a-nickel-apiece candy.
- We better get going. We're dropping time.Copy !req
524. - So long.
- Wait a minute, you got change coming.Copy !req
525. What's it to you?Copy !req
526. Bert.Copy !req
527. Look.Copy !req
528. Truck drivers.Copy !req
529. - Where you going?
- California.Copy !req
530. - How long you plan to be in Arizona?
- No longer than to get across.Copy !req
531. - Got any plants?
- No, no plants.Copy !req
532. - OK, go ahead, but keep moving.
- We aim to.Copy !req
533. Well, there she is, folks.
The land of milk and honey.Copy !req
534. California.Copy !req
535. Well, if that's what we came out here for...Copy !req
536. Connie, maybe it's nice on the other side.
Them picture postcards, they was real pretty.Copy !req
537. There, Grandma. There's California.Copy !req
538. Let's get going.
She don't look so tough to me, eh, John?Copy !req
539. Well, I don't know.Copy !req
540. Hold on!Copy !req
541. - Ain't too cold, is she, Tom?
- No, it's fine when you get in, Pa.Copy !req
542. Come on, John. Let's give her a whirl.Copy !req
543. This is supposed to be good for you, John.Copy !req
544. - Come on, Pa, before she floats away.
- Here we come.Copy !req
545. - You people got a lot of nerve.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
546. - Crossing the desert in ajalopy like this.
- You been across?Copy !req
547. Sure, plenty.
But never in no wreck like that.Copy !req
548. If we break down,
maybe somebody'd give us a hand.Copy !req
549. Well, maybe, but I'd hate to be doing it.
Takes more nerve than I got.Copy !req
550. Don't take no nerve to do something, ain't
nothing else you can do. Hope she holds.Copy !req
551. Grandpa.Copy !req
552. I want Grandpa.Copy !req
553. I want... Grandpa.Copy !req
554. Don't you fret now.Copy !req
555. There.Copy !req
556. Don't you fret now, Grandma.Copy !req
557. - Everybody set back there?
- Yeah.Copy !req
558. Here we go.Copy !req
559. Thank you very much.Copy !req
560. - Holy Moses, what a hard-Iooking outfit.
- All them Okies is hard-Iooking.Copy !req
561. Boy, but I'd hate to hit that desert
in ajalopy like that.Copy !req
562. You and me got sense.
Them Okies got no sense and no feeling.Copy !req
563. They ain't human.
No human being would live the way they do.Copy !req
564. A human being couldn't stand
to be so miserable.Copy !req
565. Just don't know any better, I guess.Copy !req
566. What a place.
How would you like to walk across it?Copy !req
567. People done it. If they could, we could.Copy !req
568. Lots must have died, too.Copy !req
569. Well, we ain't out of it yet.Copy !req
570. - This here's the desert. We're right in it.
- I wish it was day.Copy !req
571. Tom said if it was day,
it'd cut the gizzard right out of you.Copy !req
572. I seen a picture once
and there was bones everywhere.Copy !req
573. - Man bones?
- Some, I guess. But mostly cow bones.Copy !req
574. I sure would like to see
some of them man bones.Copy !req
575. Grandpa. I want Grandpa.Copy !req
576. Yes. Now everything's going to be all right.Copy !req
577. We got to get across, Grandma.
The family's got to get across.Copy !req
578. There.Copy !req
579. Seems like we wasn't never doing
nothing but moving. I'm tired.Copy !req
580. Women's always tired.Copy !req
581. You ain't... you ain't sorry, are you, honey?Copy !req
582. No, but...Copy !req
583. But you seen that advertisement
in the Spicy Western Story magazine.Copy !req
584. Don't pay nothing. Just send them
the coupon and you're a radio expert.Copy !req
585. Nice clean work.Copy !req
586. But we can still do it, honey.Copy !req
587. I ought to done it then,
not come on any trip like this.Copy !req
588. - What's this here?
- Agricultural inspection.Copy !req
589. We gotta go over your stuff.
Got any vegetables or seed?Copy !req
590. No.Copy !req
591. We gotta look over your stuff.
You gotta unload.Copy !req
592. Unload? Holy Moses.Copy !req
593. You'll have to get out
while we unload for inspection.Copy !req
594. We got a sick old lady. We got to get her to a
doctor. We can't wait. You can't make us wait.Copy !req
595. Yeah? Well, we gotta look you over.Copy !req
596. Well, I swear we ain't got anything. I swear it.Copy !req
597. Grandma's awful sick.Copy !req
598. Look.Copy !req
599. You wasn't fooling.Copy !req
600. - You swear you got no fruit or vegetables?
- No, I swear it.Copy !req
601. Go ahead. Get a doctor at Barstow.
That's just eight miles.Copy !req
602. But don't stop or get off. Understand?Copy !req
603. - OK, Cap. Much obliged.
- Thanks.Copy !req
604. Ma! Grandma! Look!Copy !req
605. There she is. There she is.
I never knowed there was anything like her.Copy !req
606. - Will you look at her.
- Look yonder, John.Copy !req
607. Look how purdy and green it is, Winfield.Copy !req
608. - Wonder if them's orange trees, John?
- Look like orange trees to me.Copy !req
609. - They sure are pretty, whatever they are.
- Indeed.Copy !req
610. Look at them haystacks. I bet we sure could
have fun playing over there.Copy !req
611. Pretty, ain't it? Mighty pretty. Tom.Copy !req
612. Where's Ma? I want Ma to see this.
Look, Ma. Come here, Ma.Copy !req
613. Come on. Come on.Copy !req
614. - You sick, Ma?
- You say we got across?Copy !req
615. Look.Copy !req
616. Oh, thank God.Copy !req
617. And we're still together. Most of us.Copy !req
618. Didn't you sleep none?Copy !req
619. - Was Grandma bad?
- Grandma's dead.Copy !req
620. When?Copy !req
621. - Since before they stopped us last night.
- That's why you didn't want them to look?Copy !req
622. I was afraid they'd stop us
and we wouldn't get across.Copy !req
623. I told Grandma.Copy !req
624. I told her when she was dying.
I told her the family had to get across.Copy !req
625. I told her we couldn't take no chance
on being stopped.Copy !req
626. So it's all right.Copy !req
627. She'll get buried where it's nice and green,
trees and flowers all around.Copy !req
628. She got to lay her head down
in California after all.Copy !req
629. Whoa.Copy !req
630. How far you figure
you going to get that way, pushing?Copy !req
631. Right here. We run out of gas.Copy !req
632. Where's the best place to get work
around here? Don't matter what kind either.Copy !req
633. If I've seen one of them things,
I've seen 10,000 of 'em.Copy !req
634. - Why? Ain't it no good?
- Not here. Not now.Copy !req
635. There was some picking around here
about a month ago, but it's all moved south.Copy !req
636. - What part of Oklahoma you from, anyhow?
- Sallisaw.Copy !req
637. Sallisaw? I come out from Cherokee County
myself about two years ago.Copy !req
638. - Cherokee County! Gee!
- Oh, boy!Copy !req
639. - Connie's folks are from Cherokee County.
- You don't say!Copy !req
640. All right, all right. Let's don't go into it.Copy !req
641. What I gotta tell you is this: Don't try to park
in town tonight. Just go on out to that camp.Copy !req
642. If I catch you in town after dark
I gotta lock you up.Copy !req
643. - But what are we gonna do?
- Well, pop, that just ain't up to me.Copy !req
644. I don't mind telling you the guy they ought to
lock up is the guy that sent them things out.Copy !req
645. How many, folks?Copy !req
646. One.Copy !req
647. Sure don't look none too prosperous.Copy !req
648. - Wanna go somewhere else?
- On a gallon of gas?Copy !req
649. Let's set up the tent
and maybe I can fix some stew.Copy !req
650. I could break up some brush
if you want me, ma'am.Copy !req
651. - You wanna be asked to eat, don't you?
- Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
652. - Didn't you have no breakfast?
- No, ma'am. They ain't no work hereabouts.Copy !req
653. Pa's been trying to sell some stuff
to get gas, so as we can get along.Copy !req
654. Didn't none of these have no breakfast?Copy !req
655. I did. Me and my brother did.
We ate good.Copy !req
656. - Well, you ain't hungry then, are you?
- We ate good.Copy !req
657. I'm glad some of you ain't hungry.
There won't be enough to go all around.Copy !req
658. Aw, he was braggin'. Know what he done?Copy !req
659. Last night, come out
and say they got chicken to eat.Copy !req
660. Well, I looked in whilst they was eating and
it was fried dough, just like everybody else.Copy !req
661. Ma? How about it?Copy !req
662. Well, I don't know what to do.
I've got to feed the family...Copy !req
663. What am I gonna do about all these here?Copy !req
664. Give this to Ruthie.Copy !req
665. There you are, John.Copy !req
666. Here, Tom. You take it. I ain't hungry.Copy !req
667. - What do you mean? You ain't ate today.
- I know, but I got a stomachache.Copy !req
668. I ain't hungry.Copy !req
669. - Take that plate in the tent and you eat it.
- It wouldn't be no use. I'd still see them.Copy !req
670. You get! Go on now. Get!Copy !req
671. You ain't doing no good.
There ain't enough for you anyway.Copy !req
672. Go on... now.Copy !req
673. You can't send them away.Copy !req
674. Here. Take your plates and go inside.Copy !req
675. Now look, all you little fellas.
You each go and get you a nice flat stickCopy !req
676. and I'll put what's left for you. Huh?Copy !req
677. Now get.Copy !req
678. I don't know whether I'm doing right or not.Copy !req
679. Get inside! Get inside, everybody,
and stay inside!Copy !req
680. Lady's gonna feed us. Get yourself a tin can.Copy !req
681. - Come on. Give me some.
- You're taking too much.Copy !req
682. You men wanna work?Copy !req
683. Sure we wanna work. Where's it at?Copy !req
684. Tovaris County. Fruit's opening up.
Need a lot of fruit pickers.Copy !req
685. - You doing the hiring?
- Well, I'm contracting the land.Copy !req
686. - What you paying?
- Well, can't tell exactly yet. 30 cents, I guess.Copy !req
687. Why can't you tell?
You took the contract, didn't you?Copy !req
688. That's true, but it's keyed to the price.Copy !req
689. Might be a little more, might be a little less.Copy !req
690. All right, mister. I'll go.Copy !req
691. Just show us your licence to contract.
Then you make out an order.Copy !req
692. Where, when and how much you're
gonna pay. You sign it and we'll go.Copy !req
693. Now listen, smart guy.
I'll run my business my own way.Copy !req
694. I got work. If you want to take it, OK.
If not, just sit here, that's all.Copy !req
695. Twice now I've fell for that line.Copy !req
696. Maybe he needs 1,000 men. So he gets
5,000 there and he'll pay 15 cents an hour.Copy !req
697. You guys will have to take it
because you'll be hungry.Copy !req
698. If he wants to hire, let him write it out
and say what he's gonna pay.Copy !req
699. Ask to see his licence. He ain't allowed
to contract men without a licence.Copy !req
700. Hey, Joe.Copy !req
701. Agitator.Copy !req
702. - Ever see this guy before?
- Seems like I have.Copy !req
703. Seems like I seen him hanging around
a used-car lot that was busted into.Copy !req
704. Yep, that's the fella. Get in this car.Copy !req
705. - You got nothing on him.
- Open your trap again and you'll go too.Copy !req
706. You don't wanna listen to troublemakers. You
better all pack and come to Tovaris County.Copy !req
707. Come on, you.Copy !req
708. Give me that gun. Now get out of here.
Go down to the willows and wait.Copy !req
709. - I ain't gonna run.
- Why, the sheriff, he seen you, Tom.Copy !req
710. You wanna get fingerprinted?
You wanna be sent back for breaking parole?Copy !req
711. I guess you're right.Copy !req
712. Hide in the willows. If it's all right for you
to come back, I'll give you four high whistles.Copy !req
713. - What's going on here?
- This man of yours, he got tough so I hit him.Copy !req
714. Then he started shooting.
Hit that woman there, so I hit him again.Copy !req
715. What did you do in the first place?Copy !req
716. I talked back.Copy !req
717. Is this the fella that hit you?Copy !req
718. - Don't look like him.
- Oh, it was me all right.Copy !req
719. You just got smart with the wrong fella.Copy !req
720. Get in that car.Copy !req
721. - This lady's bleeding to death.
- Boy, what a mess them.45s make.Copy !req
722. Better get the doc.Copy !req
723. Al.Copy !req
724. - You can come in now.
- We gotta get out of here.Copy !req
725. Guy in the willows was telling me them pool
room fellas figure on burning the camp out.Copy !req
726. We gotta get the truck loaded. Ma.Copy !req
727. Pa.Copy !req
728. - What are you doing with the jack handle?
- Oh, she just got sassy, that's all.Copy !req
729. Fight it out later.
We got to hustle. Where's Connie?Copy !req
730. Well, Tom, he's gone. He lit out this evening.
Said he didn't know it was gonna be like this.Copy !req
731. - Glad to get shot of him. Never was no good.
- Pa! Shh!Copy !req
732. How come I got to shh?
Run out on us, didn't he?Copy !req
733. Cut it out, Pa. Help Al with the truck.Copy !req
734. Some of the fellas in town,
they gonna burn out the camp tonight.Copy !req
735. Aw, don't fret, honey. You'll be all right.Copy !req
736. Tom, I just don't feel like nothing at all.Copy !req
737. Without him, I just don't want to live.Copy !req
738. He'll be back. We'll leave word for him.Copy !req
739. Just don't you worry.Copy !req
740. Get on. Ma, you and Rosasharn climb up.Copy !req
741. Ma.Copy !req
742. Maybe... maybe Connie gone
to get some books to study up with.Copy !req
743. He going to be a radio expert, you know.Copy !req
744. Maybe he figured to surprise us.Copy !req
745. Maybe that's just what he done.Copy !req
746. Ma, there comes a time
when a man gets mad.Copy !req
747. - You promised me...
- I know, Ma. I'm trying to.Copy !req
748. If there was a law, maybe we could take it.
But it ain't the law.Copy !req
749. They're working on our spirits, trying to make
us cringe and crawl, working on our decency.Copy !req
750. - You promised, Tom.
- I know. I'm trying to, Ma. Honest I am.Copy !req
751. You gotta keep clear. The family's
breaking up. You gotta keep clear.Copy !req
752. What's that? A detour?Copy !req
753. - Tom! Tom! Please!
- Tom!Copy !req
754. Just where do you think you're going?Copy !req
755. Well...Copy !req
756. We're strangers here, mister. We heard
there was work in a place called Tovaris.Copy !req
757. Yeah? You're heading the wrong way. What's
more, we don't want more Okies in this town.Copy !req
758. There ain't enough work here
for them that's already here.Copy !req
759. - Which way's it at?
- You turn right around and head north.Copy !req
760. And don't you come back
until the cotton's ready. You understand?Copy !req
761. Pa. Let's try that other tyre.Copy !req
762. - You got another flat tyre, Tom?
- What? Another one?Copy !req
763. Pa, get that spare back there?Copy !req
764. Ma, will you get the hell off there.
This is gonna be heavy enough.Copy !req
765. Tell you, something's got to happen soon.Copy !req
766. We're down to our last day of grease
and two days of flour and ten potatoes.Copy !req
767. And Rosasharn - we gotta remember
she's gonna be due soon.Copy !req
768. - Morning.
- Morning.Copy !req
769. - You folks looking for work?
- We're looking even under boards for work.Copy !req
770. - Can you pick peaches?
- We can pick anything.Copy !req
771. There's plenty of work
about 40 miles up here, this side of Pixley.Copy !req
772. You turn east on 32, look for the Keene
ranch. Tell them Spencer sent you.Copy !req
773. - Mister, we sure thank you.
- Thank you.Copy !req
774. Come on, Ma.Copy !req
775. - What is it? A wreck?

776. Fella named Spencer sent us.
Said there was work.Copy !req
777. - Oh, you wanna work, huh?
- Sure do.Copy !req
778. All right. Just pull up in line there.Copy !req
779. - OK for this one. Take 'em through.
- What's the matter? What happened?Copy !req
780. Oh, a little trouble up there,
but you'll get through all right.Copy !req
781. Go ahead.Copy !req
782. What do you think it is? A washout?Copy !req
783. I don't know what these cops
have got to do with it, but I don't like it.Copy !req
784. These are our own people too.
All of them. I don't like this.Copy !req
785. Get going. Stay in line.Copy !req
786. Go ahead.Copy !req
787. What are you gonna do, scab?Copy !req
788. Go on. Hurry up.Copy !req

799. Can you all work?Copy !req
800. - Sure, I guess so.
- OK. House 63.Copy !req
801. Wages, five cents a box. No bruised fruit.Copy !req
802. Move along. You go to work right away.Copy !req
803. Come on, honey.Copy !req
804. - Name?
- Joad.Copy !req
805. Say, what is all this here?Copy !req
806. - Joad. Not here.
- Licence?Copy !req
807. Oklahoma EL204.Copy !req
808. Don't check.Copy !req
809. Now, you look here.
We don't want no trouble with you.Copy !req
810. Just do your own work and mind
your business and you'll be all right.Copy !req
811. Sure do wanna make you
feel at home here all right.Copy !req
812. - We going to live here, Ma?
- Why, sure.Copy !req
813. This won't be so bad
once we get her washed out.Copy !req
814. I liked the tent better.Copy !req
815. This has got a floor.Copy !req
816. Won't leak when it rains.Copy !req
817. Here. This might come in handy.Copy !req
818. - Name?
- Still Joad.Copy !req
819. - How many?
- Six. You all go on.Copy !req
820. Rosasharn and me will unload the truck.Copy !req
821. - Any more of them hamburgers, Ma?
- No, there ain't.Copy !req
822. - You made a dollar. That's a dollar's worth.
- Dollar's worth? That?Copy !req
823. They charge extra at that company store
and there ain't no other place.Copy !req
824. Well, I ain't full.Copy !req
825. Tomorrow you'll get in a full day's work and a
full day's pay and then we'll all have enough.Copy !req
826. You wouldn't thinkjust reaching up
and picking would get you in the back.Copy !req
827. Think I'll walk out and find out
what all that fuss outside the gate was.Copy !req
828. - Anybody come with me?
- No, I think I'll set awhile, then go to bed.Copy !req
829. Think I'll look around
and see if I can't meet me a girl.Copy !req
830. - Say, when I was your age, I...
- Pa!Copy !req
831. Working on me what all that yelling
was about. Got me all curious.Copy !req
832. I'll be back in a little while.Copy !req
833. Tom. Now, you be careful.
Don't you go sticking your nose in anything.Copy !req
834. OK, Ma. Don't worry.Copy !req
835. Where do you think you're going?Copy !req
836. Thought I'd take a walk.Copy !req
837. - Is there any law against that?
- You can just turn around and walk back.Copy !req
838. - You mean I can't even get out of here?
- Not tonight you can't.Copy !req
839. Do you want to walk back? Or shall I whistle
up some help and have you taken back?Copy !req
840. I'll walk back.Copy !req
841. - Evening.
- Who are you?Copy !req
842. - Just going past.
- Know anybody around here?Copy !req
843. No. Just going past, I tell you.Copy !req
844. - Casy!
- Well, if it ain't Tom Joad. Hiya, boy.Copy !req
845. - I thought you was in jail.
- No. They just run me out of town.Copy !req
846. Come on in. Tom Joad.Copy !req
847. - This the fella you been talking about?
- That's him. What are you doing?Copy !req
848. Working, picking peaches.Copy !req
849. I heard fellas shouting when we come in.
I came to find out what's going on.Copy !req
850. - What's it about?
- This here's a strike.Copy !req
851. Five cents a box ain't much,
but a fella can eat.Copy !req
852. - Five cents? They paying you five cents?
- Sure. We made a buck since midday.Copy !req
853. Looky, Tom. We come here to work.Copy !req
854. They tell us it's gonna be five cents,
but there's a whole lot of us.Copy !req
855. So the man says two and a half cents.Copy !req
856. A fella can't even eat on that
and if he's got kids...Copy !req
857. So we says we won't take it.Copy !req
858. So they drive us off.
Now they're paying you five cents.Copy !req
859. If they bust this strike,
you think they'll pay five?Copy !req
860. Dunno. Paying five now.Copy !req
861. They'll get two and a half cents
just the minute we're gone.Copy !req
862. You know what that is.Copy !req
863. One ton of peaches,
picked and carried for a dollar.Copy !req
864. That way you can't even
buy enough food to keep you alive.Copy !req
865. Tell 'em to come out with us, Tom.
Them peaches is ripe.Copy !req
866. Two days out and they'll pay us all five.
Maybe seven.Copy !req
867. They won't. They're getting five now.
That's all they care about.Copy !req
868. But the moment they ain't strike-breaking,
they won't get no five.Copy !req
869. Next thing you know you'll be out.
They got it all fixed down to a T.Copy !req
870. Soon as the harvest is in you're
a migrant worker. Afterwards, just a bum.Copy !req
871. Five they're getting now.
That's all they're interested in.Copy !req
872. I know what Pa would say.
He'd say it's none of his business.Copy !req
873. That's right.
He'll have to take a beating before he'll know.Copy !req
874. Take a beating? We was out of food.Copy !req
875. Tonight we had meat -
not much, but we had it.Copy !req
876. You think Pa's gonna give up his meat
on account of some other fellas?Copy !req
877. Rosasharn needs milk.Copy !req
878. You think Ma's gonna starve that baby just
on account of fellas yelling outside a gate?Copy !req
879. Tom, you gotta learn like I'm learning.Copy !req
880. I don't know what's right yet myself,
but I'm trying to find out.Copy !req
881. That's why I can't ever be a preacher again.Copy !req
882. Preacher's got to know.Copy !req
883. I don't know.Copy !req
884. I got to ask.Copy !req
885. - I don't like it.
- What's the matter?Copy !req
886. I can't tell. Seems as though I hear something
and when I listen there ain't nothing to hear.Copy !req
887. - It ain't out of the question, you know.
- We're all a little itchy.Copy !req
888. Cops been telling us
how they gonna beat us up and run us out.Copy !req
889. Not them regular deputies, but them
tin-seal men. The ones they got for guards.Copy !req
890. They figure I'm the leader
cos I talk so much.Copy !req
891. Turn out the light. Come outside.
There's something here.Copy !req
892. - What is it?
- I don't know. Listen.Copy !req
893. - Can't tell whether you hear it or not.
- You hear it, Tom?Copy !req
894. I hear it. I think there's some guys
coming this way. A lot of 'em.Copy !req
895. - We gotta get outta here.
- Down that way! Under the bridge span.Copy !req
896. There he is! The one in the middle.
The skinny one. Chuck! Alec! Get him!Copy !req
897. You don't know what you're doing!
You're helping starve kids.Copy !req
898. - Aw, shut up, you dirty...
- Casy!Copy !req
899. - You've killed him!
- Serves him right too.Copy !req
900. Look out!Copy !req
901. - Boy, he's dead. He's good and dead.
- Did you see the fella that done it?Copy !req
902. I ain't sure, but I caught him across the face,
a trademark he won't get rid of in a hurry.Copy !req
903. Ma?Copy !req
904. Tom! Tom! Pa, wake up. Al, get the light.Copy !req
905. Shh!Copy !req
906. Come on.Copy !req
907. - Anybody ask anything?
- No, ma'am.Copy !req
908. - Well, you stay by that door.
- Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
909. Tommy?Copy !req
910. How's it feel?Copy !req
911. Busted my cheek, but I can still see.Copy !req
912. - What did you hear?
- Looks like you've done it.Copy !req
913. I thought so. Felt like it.Copy !req
914. Folks ain't talking about much else.Copy !req
915. They say they got posses out.Copy !req
916. Talking about a lynching
when they catch the fella.Copy !req
917. They killed Casy first.Copy !req
918. That ain't the way they're telling it.
They're saying you done it first.Copy !req
919. Do they know...Copy !req
920. what the fellow looks like?Copy !req
921. They know he got hit in the face.Copy !req
922. I'm sorry, Ma.Copy !req
923. I didn't know what I was doing
any more than when you take a breath.Copy !req
924. I didn't even know I was going to do it.Copy !req
925. Oh, it's all right, Tommy.Copy !req
926. I wished you didn't do it.Copy !req
927. But you done what you had to do.Copy !req
928. And I can't read no fault in you.Copy !req
929. I'm going away tonight.
I can't go putting this on you.Copy !req
930. Tom.Copy !req
931. There's a whole lot I don't understand.Copy !req
932. But going away ain't going to ease us.Copy !req
933. There was a time we was on the land.Copy !req
934. There was a boundary to us then.Copy !req
935. Old folks died off and little fellas come...Copy !req
936. We was always one thing.Copy !req
937. We was the family.Copy !req
938. Kind of whole and clear.Copy !req
939. But now we ain't clear no more.Copy !req
940. They ain't nothing that keeps us clear.Copy !req
941. Al, he's hankering and gibbeting
to be off on his own.Copy !req
942. Uncle John's just dragging around.Copy !req
943. Your pa's lost his place.
He ain't the head no more.Copy !req
944. We're cracking up, Tom.Copy !req
945. There ain't no family now.Copy !req
946. And Rosasharn, she's gonna have her baby,
but it won't have no family.Copy !req
947. I been trying to keep her going, but...Copy !req
948. And Winfield.Copy !req
949. What's he gonna be this way?Copy !req
950. Growing up wild, and Ruthie too.Copy !req
951. Just like animals.Copy !req
952. Got nothing to trust.Copy !req
953. Don't go, Tom.Copy !req
954. Stay and help.Copy !req
955. Help me.Copy !req
956. OK, Ma. I shouldn't,
I know I shouldn't, but OK.Copy !req
957. Ma, here come a lot of people.Copy !req
958. - How many?
- Ten of us.Copy !req
959. House 25. The number's on the door.Copy !req
960. - OK, mister. What you paying?
- Two and a half cents.Copy !req
961. Two and a half? Say, mister,
a man can't make his dinner on that.Copy !req
962. Take it or leave it. There are 200 men coming
in from the South will be glad to get it.Copy !req
963. - But how are we gonna eat?
- Look...Copy !req
964. I didn't set the price. If you want it, OK.
If you don't, turn around and beat it.Copy !req
965. - Which way to house 25?
- Straight up the street.Copy !req
966. That Casy.Copy !req
967. He might have been a preacher,
but he seen things clear.Copy !req
968. He was like a lantern.Copy !req
969. He helped me to see things too.Copy !req
970. Comes night, we'll get out of here.Copy !req
971. Like a lantern.Copy !req
972. - I'll start the car.
- Yes.Copy !req
973. All right, Tom.Copy !req
974. Jump up. Jump up.Copy !req
975. Just till we get distance.
Then you can come out.Copy !req
976. I'd hate to get trapped in here.Copy !req
977. Get in, Ma.Copy !req
978. - Hey! Where you going?
- We're going out.Copy !req
979. - What for?
- We got a job offered. A good job.Copy !req
980. Yeah?Copy !req
981. Well, let's take a look at you.Copy !req
982. - Wasn't there another fella with you?
- You mean that hitchhiker?Copy !req
983. - Little short fella with a pale face?
- I guess that's what he looked like.Copy !req
984. We just picked him up on the way in.Copy !req
985. - He left when the rate dropped.
- What did you say he looked like again?Copy !req
986. Short fella. Pale face.Copy !req
987. Was he bruised about the face this morning?Copy !req
988. I didn't see nothing.Copy !req
989. OK, go on.Copy !req
990. - Going out for good?
- Yeah. Going north. Got a job.Copy !req
991. OK.Copy !req
992. - Done good, Al. You done real good.
- Know where we're going?Copy !req
993. It don't matter. We got to go and keep going
till we get plenty of distance away from here.Copy !req
994. Ouch! She's hotter than a heifer.Copy !req
995. - What's up?
- The fan belt's shot.Copy !req
996. Sure picked a nice place for it too, didn't she?Copy !req
997. - Got any gas?
- About half a gallon.Copy !req
998. Well, Ma, sure looks like
we done her this time.Copy !req
999. Lights up ahead.
That might be a camp or something.Copy !req
1000. Looks like about a mile.
Reckon she'll coast her, Al?Copy !req
1001. - Got to coast it.
- Well, let's give her a whirl. Huh?Copy !req
1002. Come on, kids. Get in. John!Copy !req
1003. Did you hurt yourself, John?Copy !req
1004. No.Copy !req
1005. - You hit it too fast.
- What's the idea of that?Copy !req
1006. Well, you see a lot of children play in here.Copy !req
1007. You can tell people to drive slow
and they're liable to forget,Copy !req
1008. but once they hit that hump
they don't forget.Copy !req
1009. - Got any room here for us?
- You're lucky.Copy !req
1010. How do you do, ma'am? How are you?Copy !req
1011. How are you?Copy !req
1012. Down that line, turn to the left. You'll see it.
You'll be in number four sanitary unit.Copy !req
1013. - What's that?
- Toilet, showers, washtubs.Copy !req
1014. We'll have washtubs with running water?Copy !req
1015. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
1016. Camp committee will call on you
in the morning, get you fixed.Copy !req
1017. - Cops?
- No. No cops.Copy !req
1018. No, people here elect their own cops.
The ladies' committee'll call on you, ma'am.Copy !req
1019. Tell you about the children, the schools
and sanitary unit and who takes care of 'em.Copy !req
1020. Will you come inside and sign up?Copy !req
1021. Drive her on down, Al. I'll sign up.Copy !req
1022. Right this way. In here.Copy !req
1023. Now, I don't want to seem inquisitive,
you understand,Copy !req
1024. but there's certain information
I have to have. What's your name?Copy !req
1025. Joad. Tom Joad.Copy !req
1026. - J-O...

1038. You aiming to tell me the fellas running
the camp are just fellas camping here?Copy !req
1039. - That's the way it is.
- And you say no cops?Copy !req
1040. No cop can come in here without a warrant.Copy !req
1041. I can't hardly believe it.Copy !req
1042. Camp I was in before, they burnt it out.
Deputies and some of them pool-room fellas.Copy !req
1043. They don't get in here.
Sometimes the boys patrol the fences.Copy !req
1044. - Especially on dance nights.

every Saturday night.Copy !req
1046. - Who runs this place?

1072. - You have dances there every Saturday night.
- We sure do.Copy !req
1073. - Well, look out next Saturday night.

1075. Well, don't tell I told you.Copy !req
1076. Listen.Copy !req
1077. "Citizens angered at red agitators
burning other squatters' campsCopy !req
1078. and order agitators to leave the county."Copy !req
1079. Listen. What is these reds anyway?Copy !req
1080. Every time you turn around
somebody's calling somebody else a red.Copy !req
1081. - What is these reds anyway?
- I ain't talking about that, one way or another.Copy !req
1082. All I'm saying is there's going to be
a fight at the camp, Saturday night.Copy !req
1083. And there'll be deputies ready to go in.Copy !req
1084. Now go on with your work.Copy !req
1085. Maybe I've talked myself into trouble,
but you're folks like us and I like you.Copy !req
1086. We won't tell who told. Thank you.Copy !req
1087. - All right.

1102. - Them's our fellas.
- How do you know?Copy !req
1103. Well...Copy !req
1104. Just got a feeling.Copy !req
1105. They're kind of scared too.Copy !req
1106. Follow 'em. Get hold of Jackson.
See if he knows them. I'll stay here.Copy !req
1107. - Hello.
- Hello.Copy !req
1108. So long.Copy !req
1109. How do you do, Miz Joad?Copy !req
1110. My, you sure look pretty.Copy !req

1114. Hey, Jackson.Copy !req
1115. Look. Did you ever see them fellas before?Copy !req
1116. Sorry, neighbour,
but we got to keep the camp clean.Copy !req
1117. I know one of 'em. Used to work with him.
I never asked him to the dance though.Copy !req
1118. All right. Keep your eye on 'em.
Just keep 'em in sight, that's all.Copy !req
1119. I seen them. A car with five men
parked down by the eucalyptus trees.Copy !req
1120. And another with four men on the main
road, and they got guns. I seen 'em.Copy !req
1121. Thank you, Willy. You done right good.
You can run along and dance now.Copy !req
1122. Well, sure looks like
the fat's in the fire this time.Copy !req
1123. What them deputies wanna hurt the camp
for? How come they can't let us alone?Copy !req
1124. - We ought to get some pickaxe handles...
- No. That's just what they want.Copy !req
1125. No, sirree. If they can get a fight going
they can call in the cops. Say we ain't orderly.Copy !req
1126. - They're here. We got 'em spotted.
- Everything ready?Copy !req
1127. - There ain't gonna be trouble.
- I don't want you hurting them.Copy !req
1128. Don't worry. Everything's arranged.
Maybe nobody will see it.Copy !req
1129. Well, just don't use no sticks
or no knives or no piece of iron.Copy !req
1130. If you gotta sock 'em,
sock 'em where they ain't going to bleed.Copy !req
1131. Gentlemen, hats off please. Thank you.Copy !req
1132. - She's getting purdier every day, Ma.
- Girl with a baby's always purdier.Copy !req
1133. - Come on, Ma, let's dance.
- Oh, Tom. I can't.Copy !req
1134. Well, all right.Copy !req
1135. Tom, stop.Copy !req
1136. 9.29. Let's go!Copy !req
1137. All right. 9.30. Here we go.Copy !req
1138. - All right. I'll dance with her.
- You and who else?Copy !req
1139. Excuse me, Ma.Copy !req
1140. Open up! We're here about a riot!Copy !req
1141. - Riot? I don't see any riot. Who are you?
- Deputy sheriffs.Copy !req
1142. - You got a warrant?
- We don't need a warrant when there's a riot.Copy !req
1143. I don't know what you're going to do about it.
I don't hear or see any riot.Copy !req
1144. What's more, I don't believe there is any riot.
Look for yourself.Copy !req
1145. All right, let's go.Copy !req
1146. Oklahoma... EL204.Copy !req
1147. You have no right to arrest
without a warrant.Copy !req
1148. We'll have a warrant
just as soon as we check with headquarters.Copy !req
1149. Tommy.Copy !req
1150. Ain't you gonna tell me goodbye?Copy !req
1151. I didn't know, Ma.Copy !req
1152. I didn't know if I ought to.Copy !req
1153. - Ma...
- Hush, Ruthie.Copy !req
1154. Come outside.Copy !req
1155. There was some cops here tonight.
They was taking down licence numbers.Copy !req
1156. I guess somebody knows something.Copy !req
1157. I guess it had to come. Sooner or later.Copy !req
1158. Sit down for a minute.Copy !req
1159. I'd like to stay, Ma.Copy !req
1160. I'd like to be with you and see your face when
you and Pa get settled in some nice place.Copy !req
1161. I'd sure like to see you then.Copy !req
1162. But I won't never get that chance,
I guess now.Copy !req
1163. - I could hide you, Tommy.
- I know you would, but I ain't gonna let you.Copy !req
1164. You hide somebody that's killed a guy
and you're in trouble too.Copy !req
1165. All right, Tommy.Copy !req
1166. But what do you figure you're going to do?Copy !req
1167. You know what I've been thinking about?Copy !req
1168. About Casy.Copy !req
1169. About what he said.Copy !req
1170. What he done.Copy !req
1171. About how he died.Copy !req
1172. And I remember all of it.Copy !req
1173. He was a good man.Copy !req
1174. I've been thinking about us too.Copy !req
1175. About our people living like pigs
and good, rich land laying fallow.Copy !req
1176. Or maybe one guy with a million acres
and 100,000 farmers starving.Copy !req
1177. And I've been wondering if...Copy !req
1178. all our folks got together and yelled...Copy !req
1179. No. They'd drive you out and cut you down.Copy !req
1180. - Just like they done to Casy.
- They're gonna drive me anyways.Copy !req
1181. Sooner or later they'd get me,
for one thing if not for another.Copy !req
1182. Till then...Copy !req
1183. Tommy.Copy !req
1184. - You're not aiming to kill nobody?
- No, Ma. Not that. That ain't it.Copy !req
1185. It's just...Copy !req
1186. Well, as long as I'm an outlaw anyways,
maybe I can do something.Copy !req
1187. Maybe I can just find out something.Copy !req
1188. Just... scrounge around
and maybe find out what it is that's wrong.Copy !req
1189. Then see if they ain't something
that can be done about it.Copy !req
1190. I ain't thought it all out clear, Ma. I...Copy !req
1191. I can't. I don't know enough.Copy !req
1192. How am I gonna know about you, Tommy?Copy !req
1193. Why, they could kill you and I'd never know.
They could hurt you. How am I gonna know?Copy !req
1194. Well, maybe it's like Casy says.Copy !req
1195. Fella ain't got a soul of his own,
just... a little piece of a big soul.Copy !req
1196. The one big soul
that belongs to everybody.Copy !req
1197. Then...Copy !req
1198. - Then what, Tom?
- Then it don't matter.Copy !req
1199. I'll be all around in the dark.Copy !req
1200. I'll be everywhere.Copy !req
1201. Wherever you can look.Copy !req
1202. Wherever there's a fight
so hungry people can eat, I'll be there.Copy !req
1203. Wherever there's a cop beating up a guy,
I'll be there.Copy !req
1204. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad.Copy !req
1205. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're
hungry and they know supper's ready.Copy !req
1206. And when people
are eating the stuff they raise...Copy !req
1207. living in the houses they build...Copy !req
1208. I'll be there too.Copy !req
1209. I don't understand it, Tom.Copy !req
1210. Me neither, Ma, but...Copy !req
1211. just something I've been thinking about.Copy !req
1212. Give me your hand, Ma.Copy !req
1213. Goodbye.Copy !req
1214. Goodbye, Tommy.Copy !req
1215. Later, when this is blowed over,Copy !req
1216. you'll come back.Copy !req
1217. Sure, Ma.Copy !req
1218. Tommy, we ain't the kissing kind, but...Copy !req
1219. Goodbye, Ma.Copy !req
1220. Goodbye, Tommy.Copy !req
1221. Tommy...Copy !req
1222. Goodbye.Copy !req
1223. Turn that up, Al, and get her rolled up.Copy !req
1224. - How you fixed, John?
- Getting along.Copy !req
1225. Here.Copy !req
1226. Winfield, get on top, out of the way.Copy !req
1227. I don't see what you folks are hurrying so for.
They tell me there's 20 days' work up there.Copy !req
1228. Yes, sir, and we aim to get in all 20 of them.Copy !req
1229. - All ready, Ma?
- Yes. How you feeling, Rosasharn?Copy !req
1230. All aboard, everybody. All aboard for Fresno.Copy !req
1231. Wait a minute. I'll give you a hand.Copy !req
1232. - Careful of her, now.
- Easy, child.Copy !req
1233. She'll be all right.Copy !req
1234. - Watch her, John.
- I'll take care of her.Copy !req
1235. - How are you fixed, Al?
- All right, Pa.Copy !req
1236. Now, Ma.Copy !req
1237. - Goodbye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
1238. - Thanks a lot. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
1239. Thanks, Mr Conway.Copy !req
1240. - Bye.
- You be careful.Copy !req
1241. 20 days work. Oh, boy!Copy !req
1242. I'll be glad to get my hands on some cotton.
That's the kind of picking I understand.Copy !req
1243. Maybe. Maybe 20 days' work
and maybe no days' work.Copy !req
1244. - We ain't got it till we get it.
- What's the matter, Ma? Getting scared?Copy !req
1245. Scared. Huh!Copy !req
1246. I ain't never gonna be scared no more.Copy !req
1247. I was though. For a while it looked
as though we was beat. Good and beat.Copy !req
1248. Looked like we didn't have nobody
in the worid but enemies.Copy !req
1249. Like nobody was friendly no more.Copy !req
1250. Made me feel kind of bad and scared too.Copy !req
1251. Like we was lost and nobody cared.Copy !req
1252. You're the one that keeps us going, Ma.Copy !req
1253. I ain't no good no more and I know it.Copy !req
1254. Seems like I spend all my time these days
thinking how it used to be.Copy !req
1255. Thinking of home.Copy !req
1256. I ain't never gonna see it no more.Copy !req
1257. Well, Pa, a woman can change
better than a man.Copy !req
1258. A man lives sort of, well, in jerks.Copy !req
1259. Baby's born or somebody dies,
and that's ajerk.Copy !req
1260. He gets a farm or loses it, and that's ajerk.Copy !req
1261. With a woman it's all in one flow
like a stream.Copy !req
1262. Little eddies and waterfalls,
but the river, it goes right on.Copy !req
1263. A woman looks at it that way.Copy !req
1264. - Well, maybe, but we're sure taking a beating.
- I know.Copy !req
1265. That's what makes us tough.Copy !req
1266. Rich fellas come up, and they die,
and their kids ain't no good and they die out.Copy !req
1267. But we keep coming.
We're the people that live.Copy !req
1268. They can't wipe us out. They can't lick us.Copy !req
1269. We'll go on forever, Pa, cos we're the people.Copy !req
1270. Simon CampbellCopy !req
