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

830. A fella named Spencer sent us.
Said there was work picking peaches.Copy !req
831. - You wanna work?
- Sure do.Copy !req
832. All right.
Just pull up in line there.Copy !req
833. - Okay for this one. Take them through.
- What's the matter? What happened?Copy !req
834. A little trouble up there,
but you'll get through all right.Copy !req
835. - Go ahead.
- Right there.Copy !req
836. What do you think it is?
A washout?Copy !req
837. I don't know what these cops
have got to do with it, but I don't like it.Copy !req
838. These are our own people too, all of them.
I don't like this.Copy !req
839. Get going.
Stay in line.Copy !req
840. Go ahead.Copy !req
841. What are you gonna do, scab?Copy !req
842. Go on.
Hurry up.Copy !req
843. Come on, come on, come on.Copy !req
844. Go on up there.Copy !req
845. Up the street there.Copy !req
846. Keep in line, up the street.Copy !req
847. Hold it, bud.Copy !req
848. - Wanna work?
- Sure, but what is this?Copy !req
849. - None of your business. Name?
- Joad.Copy !req
850. - How many men?
- Four.Copy !req
851. - Women?
- Two.Copy !req
852. - Kids?
- Two.Copy !req
853. Can you all work?Copy !req
854. - Sure, I guess so.
- Okay. House 63.Copy !req
855. Wages, 5 cents a box.
No bruised fruit.Copy !req
856. Move along.
You go to work right away.Copy !req
857. Come on, honey.Copy !req
858. - Name?
- Joad.Copy !req
859. Say, what is all this here?Copy !req
860. - Joad. Not here.
- License?Copy !req
861. Oklahoma E-L-2-0-4.Copy !req
862. Don't check.Copy !req
863. Now, you look here.
We don't want no trouble with you.Copy !req
864. Just do your own work and mind
your business, and you'll be all right.Copy !req
865. Sure do wanna make you
feel at home here, all right.Copy !req
866. - We gonna live here, Ma?
- Why, sure.Copy !req
867. This won't be so bad
once we get her washed out.Copy !req
868. I liked the tent better.Copy !req
869. Why, this has got a floor.Copy !req
870. It won't leak when it rains.Copy !req
871. Here.
This might come in handy.Copy !req
872. - Name?
- Still Joad.Copy !req
873. - How many?
- Six. You all go on.Copy !req
874. Rosasharn and me will unload the truck.Copy !req
875. - Any more of them hamburgers, Ma?
- No, there ain't.Copy !req
876. - You made a dollar. That's a dollar's worth.
- Dollar's worth? That?Copy !req
877. They charge extra at that company store
and there ain't no other place.Copy !req
878. Well, I ain't full.Copy !req
879. Well, tomorrow you'll get in
a full day's work...Copy !req
880. and a full day's pay,
and then we'll all have enough.Copy !req
881. You wouldn't think just reaching up
and picking would get you in the back.Copy !req
882. Think I'll walk out and find out
what all that fuss outside the gate was.Copy !req
883. - Anybody come with me?
- No, I think I'll set a while, then go to bed.Copy !req
884. Think I'll look around
and see if I can't meet me a girl.Copy !req
885. - Say, when I was your age...
- Pa!Copy !req
886. Working on me what all that yelling
was about. Got me all curious.Copy !req
887. I'll be back in a little while.Copy !req
888. Tom. Now, you be careful. Don't you
go sticking your nose in anything.Copy !req
889. Okay, Ma.
Don't worry.Copy !req
890. Where do you think you're going?Copy !req
891. I thought I'd take a walk.Copy !req
892. - Is there any law against that?
- You can just turn around and walk back.Copy !req
893. - You mean I can't even get out of here?
- Not tonight, you can't.Copy !req
894. Do you wanna walk back? Or shall I whistle
up some help and have you taken back?Copy !req
895. I'll walk back.Copy !req
896. - Evening.
- Who are you?Copy !req
897. - Just going past, that's all.
- Know anybody around here?Copy !req
898. No.
Just going past, I tell you.Copy !req
899. - Casy!
- Well, if it ain't Tom Joad. Hi, boy.Copy !req
900. - I thought you was in jail.
- No. They just run me out of town.Copy !req
901. Come on in.
Tom Joad.Copy !req
902. - This the fella you been talking about?
- That's him. What are you doing here?Copy !req
903. Working, picking peaches.Copy !req
904. I heard fellas shouting when we come in.
I came to find out what's going on.Copy !req
905. - What's it all about?
- This here's a strike.Copy !req
906. Well, 5 cents a box ain't much,
but a fella can eat.Copy !req
907. - Five cents? They paying you 5 cents?
- Sure. We made a buck since midday.Copy !req
908. Lookie, Tom.
We come here to work.Copy !req
909. They tell us it's gonna be 5 cents,
but there's a whole lot of us.Copy !req
910. So the man says 2 and a half cents.Copy !req
911. A fella can't even eat on that
and if he's got kids...Copy !req
912. So we says we won't take it.Copy !req
913. So they drive us off.
Now they're paying you 5 cents.Copy !req
914. But if they bust this strike,
you think they'll pay 5?Copy !req
915. Don't know.
Paying 5 now.Copy !req
916. They'll get 2 and a half cents
just the minute we're gone.Copy !req
917. You know what that is.Copy !req
918. One ton of peaches,
picked and carried for a dollar.Copy !req
919. That way you can't even
buy enough food to keep you alive.Copy !req
920. Tell them to come out with us, Tom.
Them peaches is ripe.Copy !req
921. Two days out and they'll pay us all 5,
maybe 7.Copy !req
922. They won't. They're getting 5 now.
That's all they care about.Copy !req
923. But the moment they ain't strikebreaking,
they won't get no 5.Copy !req
924. Next thing you know you'll be out.
They got it all fixed down to a tee.Copy !req
925. Well, soon as the harvest is in, you're
a migrant worker. Afterwards, just a bum.Copy !req
926. Five they're getting now.
That's all they're interested in.Copy !req
927. I know exactly what Pa would say.
He'd say it's none of his business.Copy !req
928. That's right. He'll have to
take a beating before he'll know.Copy !req
929. Take a beating?
We was out of food.Copy !req
930. Tonight we had meat.
Not much, but we had it.Copy !req
931. You think Pa's gonna give up his meat
on account of some other fellas?Copy !req
932. Rosasharn needs milk.Copy !req
933. You think Ma's gonna starve that baby just
on account of fellas yelling outside a gate?Copy !req
934. Tom, you gotta learn like I'm learning.Copy !req
935. I don't know what's right yet myself,
but I'm trying to find out.Copy !req
936. That's why I can't ever be
a preacher again.Copy !req
937. Preacher's gotta know.Copy !req
938. I don't know.Copy !req
939. I gotta ask.Copy !req
940. - I don't like it.
- What's the matter?Copy !req
941. I can't tell.Copy !req
942. Seems as though I hear something and
when I listen, there ain't nothing to hear.Copy !req
943. - It ain't out of the question, you know.
- We're all a little itchy.Copy !req
944. Cops been telling us how they're
gonna beat us up and run us out.Copy !req
945. Not them regular deputies, but them
tin-seal men. The ones they got for guards.Copy !req
946. They figure I'm the leader
because I talk so much.Copy !req
947. Turn out the light. Come outside.
There's something here.Copy !req
948. - What is it?
- I don't know. Listen.Copy !req
949. - Can't tell whether you hear it or not.
- You hear it, Tom?Copy !req
950. I hear it. I think there's some guys
coming this way, a lot of them.Copy !req
951. - We gotta get out of here.
- Down that way, under the bridge span.Copy !req
952. There he is! The one in the middle,
the skinny one. Chuck, Alec, get him!Copy !req
953. You don't know what you're doing!
You're helping to starve kids.Copy !req
954. - Shut up, you dirty...
- Casy!Copy !req
955. - You've killed him!
- Serves him right too.Copy !req
956. Look out!Copy !req
957. He's dead. He's good and dead.
Did you see the fella that done it?Copy !req
958. I ain't sure, but I caught him across the face,
a trademark he won't get rid of in a hurry.Copy !req
959. Ma?Copy !req
960. Tom! Tom!
Pa, wake up. Al, get the light.Copy !req
961. Come on.Copy !req
962. - Anybody ask anything?
- No, ma'am.Copy !req
963. - Well, you stay by that door.
- Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
964. Tommy?Copy !req
965. How's it feel?Copy !req
966. Busted my cheek, but I can still see.Copy !req
967. - What'd you hear?
- Looks like you've done it.Copy !req
968. I thought so.
Felt like it.Copy !req
969. Folks ain't talking about much else.Copy !req
970. They say they got posses out.Copy !req
971. Talking about a lynching
when they catch the fella.Copy !req
972. They killed Casy first.Copy !req
973. That ain't the way they're telling it.
They're saying you done it first.Copy !req
974. Do they know what the fella looks like?Copy !req
975. They know he got hit in the face.Copy !req
976. I'm sorry, Ma.Copy !req
977. I didn't know what I was doing
any more than when you take a breath.Copy !req
978. I didn't even know I was gonna do it.Copy !req
979. It's all right, Tommy.Copy !req
980. I wished you didn't do it...Copy !req
981. but you done what you had to do...Copy !req
982. and I can't read no fault in you.Copy !req
983. I'm going away tonight.
I can't go putting this on you folks.Copy !req
984. Tom.Copy !req
985. There's a whole lot I don't understand.Copy !req
986. But going away ain't gonna ease us.Copy !req
987. There was a time we was on the land.Copy !req
988. There was a boundary to us then.Copy !req
989. Old folks died off and little fellas come.Copy !req
990. We was always one thing.Copy !req
991. We was the family.Copy !req
992. Kind of whole and clear.Copy !req
993. But now we ain't clear no more.Copy !req
994. There ain't nothing that keeps us clear.Copy !req
995. Al, he's hankering and gibbeting
to be off on his own.Copy !req
996. Uncle John's just dragging around.Copy !req
997. Your pa's lost his place.
He ain't the head no more.Copy !req
998. We're cracking up, Tom.Copy !req
999. There ain't no family now.Copy !req
1000. And Rosasharn, she's gonna have her baby,
but it won't have no family.Copy !req
1001. I been trying to keep her going, but...Copy !req
1002. And Winfield...Copy !req
1003. what's he gonna be this way?Copy !req
1004. Growing up wild.
And Ruthie too.Copy !req
1005. Just like animals.Copy !req
1006. Got nothing to trust.Copy !req
1007. Don't go, Tom.Copy !req
1008. Stay and help.Copy !req
1009. Help me.Copy !req
1010. Okay, Ma. I shouldn't.
I know I shouldn't, but okay.Copy !req
1011. Ma, here come a lot of people.Copy !req
1012. - How many?
- Ten of us.Copy !req
1013. House 25.
The number's on the door.Copy !req
1014. - Okay, mister. What you paying?
- Two and a half cents.Copy !req
1015. Two and a half? Say, mister,
a man can't make his dinner on that.Copy !req
1016. Take it or leave it.Copy !req
1017. There are 200 men coming in
from the South that'll be glad to get it.Copy !req
1018. - But how are we going to eat?
- Look.Copy !req
1019. I didn't set the price. If you want it, okay.
If you don't, turn around and beat it.Copy !req
1020. - Which way to House 25?
- Straight up the street.Copy !req
1021. That Casy.Copy !req
1022. He might have been a preacher,
but he seen things clear.Copy !req
1023. He was like a lantern.Copy !req
1024. He helped me to see things too.Copy !req
1025. Comes night, we'll get out of here.Copy !req
1026. Like a lantern.Copy !req
1027. - I'll start the car.
- Yes.Copy !req
1028. All right, Tom.Copy !req
1029. Jump up.
Jump up.Copy !req
1030. Just till we get distance.
Then you can come out.Copy !req
1031. I'd hate to get trapped in here.Copy !req
1032. Get in, Ma.Copy !req
1033. Come on, John.Copy !req
1034. - Hey! Where you going?
- We're going out.Copy !req
1035. - What for?
- We got a job offered. A good job.Copy !req
1036. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1037. Well, let's take a look at you.Copy !req
1038. - Wasn't there another fella with you?
- You mean that hitchhiker?Copy !req
1039. - Little short fella with a pale face?
- I guess that's what he looked like.Copy !req
1040. We just picked him up on the way in.Copy !req
1041. - He left when the rate dropped.
- What did you say he looked like again?Copy !req
1042. Short fella, pale face.Copy !req
1043. Was he bruised about the face
this morning?Copy !req
1044. I didn't see nothing.Copy !req
1045. Okay, go on.Copy !req

1056. Lights up ahead.
That might be a camp or something.Copy !req
1057. Looks like about a mile.
Reckon she'll coast her, Al?Copy !req
1058. - Got to coast it.
- Well, let's give her a whirl?Copy !req
1059. Come on, kids. Get in.
John!Copy !req
1060. Did you hurt yourself, John?Copy !req
1061. No.Copy !req
1062. - You hit it too fast.
- What's the idea of that?Copy !req
1063. Well, you see, a lot of children
play in here.Copy !req
1064. You can tell people to drive slow
and they're liable to forget...Copy !req
1065. but once they hit that hump,
they don't forget.Copy !req
1066. - Got any room here for us?
- You're lucky.Copy !req
1067. How do you do, ma'am?
How are you?Copy !req
1068. How are you?Copy !req
1069. Down that line, turn to the left.
You'll see it.Copy !req
1070. You'll be in Number 4 sanitary unit.Copy !req
1071. - What's that?

1074. Camp committee will call on you
in the morning, get you fixed.Copy !req
1075. - Cops?
- No. No cops.Copy !req
1076. No, people here elect their own cops.
The ladies' committee'll call on you, ma'am.Copy !req
1077. Tell you about the children,
the schools and sanitary unit...Copy !req
1078. and who takes care of them.Copy !req
1079. Will you come inside and sign up?Copy !req
1080. Drive her on down, Al.

I have to have. What's your name?Copy !req
1084. Joad.
Tom Joad.Copy !req
1085. - J-O...

1086. A-D.Copy !req
1087. And how many of you?Copy !req

1090. Come on.Copy !req
1091. Shove.Copy !req
1092. Campsite costs a dollar a week.
You can work that out...Copy !req
1093. carrying garbage, keeping
the camp clean, things like that.Copy !req
1094. We'll work it out.Copy !req
1095. What's the committee
you're talking about?Copy !req
1096. We have five sanitary units.
Each one elects a central committee man.Copy !req
1097. They make the laws
and what they say goes.Copy !req
1098. You aiming to tell me the fellas running
the camp are just fellas camping here?Copy !req
1099. - That's the way it is.
- And you say no cops?Copy !req
1100. No cop can come in here
without a warrant.Copy !req
1101. I can't hardly believe it.Copy !req
1102. Camp I was in before, they burnt it out.
Deputies and some of them poolroom fellas.Copy !req
1103. They don't get in here.
Sometimes the boys patrol the fences.Copy !req
1104. - Especially on dance nights.
- You got dances too?Copy !req
1105. We have the best dances in the county,
every Saturday night.Copy !req
1106. - Who runs this place?
- The government.Copy !req
1107. - Why ain't there more like it?
- You find out. I can't.Copy !req
1108. Is there anything like work around here?Copy !req
1109. I can't promise you that...Copy !req
1110. but there'll be a licensed agent here later
if you wanna talk to him.Copy !req
1111. That cut you have?Copy !req
1112. - Crate fell on me.
- You'd better take care of it.Copy !req
1113. Store manager will give you
something for it. See you later.Copy !req
1114. Ma's sure gonna like it here.Copy !req

1116. a long while.Copy !req
1117. See you later.Copy !req
1118. - Winfield. I got something to show you.
- What's the matter?Copy !req
1119. It's some white things made out
of dish stuff, like in the catalogs.Copy !req
1120. Come on, I'll show you.Copy !req
1121. Come on.
Ain't nobody gonna say anything.Copy !req
1122. There's where you wash your hands.Copy !req
1123. - What's these?
- I reckon you stand in them little rooms.Copy !req
1124. And water comes down out of that
little jigger up there. You take a bath.Copy !req
1125. - Look. Just like in the catalogs.
- Hey! Don't you go monkeying!Copy !req
1126. Now you done it!
You busted it!Copy !req
1127. All I done was pull that string.Copy !req

burning other squatters' camps...Copy !req
1141. and order agitators
to leave the county."Copy !req
1142. Listen.
What is these reds anyway?Copy !req
1143. Every time you turn around,
somebody's calling somebody else a red.Copy !req
1144. What is these reds anyway?Copy !req
1145. I ain't talking about that,
one way or the other.Copy !req
1146. All I'm saying is there's going to be
a fight at the camp Saturday night...Copy !req
1147. and there'll be deputies ready to go in.Copy !req
1148. Now go on with your work.Copy !req
1149. Maybe I've talked myself into trouble,
but you're folks like us and I like you.Copy !req
1150. We won't tell who told.
Thank you.Copy !req
1151. - All right.
- There ain't gonna be no fight either.Copy !req
1152. - Evening. Who'd you say invited you?
- Mr. And Mrs. Brown.Copy !req
1153. Go right on in, folks. Go right on in.
Hello, there. How are you?Copy !req

Glad to see you.Copy !req
1155. - Hello.
- Hello.Copy !req
1156. - Going to the dance tonight? I can waltz.
- That's nothing. Anybody can waltz.Copy !req
1157. - Not like me, they can't.
- You get going!Copy !req
1158. This girl's spoke for.
She's gonna be married...Copy !req
1159. and her man's coming for her.
So get!Copy !req
1160. Hi, Bill.
Nice-looking girl you got there.Copy !req
1161. - Howdy, Mr. Thomas. Howdy, Mrs. Thomas.
- Watching out, ain't you?Copy !req
1162. There ain't gonna be no trouble.Copy !req
1163. I hope you know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
1164. Evening, boys.
Who did you say invited you?Copy !req
1165. Fella named Jackson.
Buck Jackson.Copy !req
1166. - Okay. Have a good time.
- Thanks.Copy !req
1167. Hey.Copy !req
1168. - Them's our fellas.

1169. Well...Copy !req
1170. just got a feeling.Copy !req
1171. They're kind of scared too.Copy !req
1172. Follow them. Get hold of Jackson,

1174. So long.Copy !req
1175. How do you do, Mrs. Joad?
How do you do?Copy !req
1176. My, you sure look pretty.Copy !req
1177. - Please to dance, ma'am?
- Thank you kindly, but she ain't well.Copy !req
1178. - Sort of poorly.
- Well, thank you just the same.Copy !req
1179. Howdy do.Copy !req
1180. Hey, Jackson.Copy !req
1181. Look.
Did you ever see them fellas before?Copy !req
1182. Sorry, neighbor, but we got
to keep the camp clean.Copy !req
1183. I know one of them. Used to work with him.
I never asked him to the dance though.Copy !req
1184. All right. Keep your eye on them.
Just keep them in sight, that's all.Copy !req
1185. I seen them. A car with five men
parked down by the eucalyptus trees.Copy !req
1186. And another with four men on the main road.
And they got guns, I seen them.Copy !req
1187. Thank you, Willy. You done right good.
You can run along and dance now.Copy !req
1188. Well, sure looks like
the fat's in the fire this time.Copy !req
1189. What them deputies wanna hurt the camp for?
How come they can't let us alone?Copy !req
1190. - We ought to get some pickax handles...
- No. That's just what they want.Copy !req
1191. No, sirree.
If they can get a fight going...Copy !req
1192. they can call in the cops,
say we ain't orderly.Copy !req
1193. - They're here. We got them spotted.
- Got everything ready?Copy !req
1194. - There ain't gonna be trouble.
- I don't want you hurting them.Copy !req
1195. Don't worry. Everything's arranged.
Maybe nobody will even see it.Copy !req
1196. Well, just don't use no sticks
or no knives or no piece of iron.Copy !req
1197. If you gotta sock them,
sock them where they ain't gonna bleed.Copy !req
1198. Gentlemen, hats off, please.
Thank you.Copy !req
1199. - She's getting prettier every day, Ma.
- Girl with a baby's always prettier.Copy !req
1200. - Come on, Ma, let's dance.
- Oh, Tom. I can't.Copy !req
1201. Well, all right.Copy !req
1202. Tom, stop.Copy !req
1203. Come and sit by my side if you love meCopy !req
1204. Do not hasten to bid me adieuCopy !req
1205. But remember the Red River ValleyCopy !req
1206. And the boy who had loved you so trueCopy !req
1207. Nine-twenty-nine.
Let's go!Copy !req
1208. All right, 9:30.
Here we go.Copy !req
1209. - All right. I'll dance with her.
- You and who else?Copy !req
1210. Excuse me, Ma.Copy !req
1211. Open up!
We're here about a riot!Copy !req
1212. - Riot? I don't see any riot. Who are you?
- Deputy sheriffs.Copy !req
1213. - Have you got a warrant?
- We don't need a warrant when there's a riot.Copy !req
1214. I don't know what you're gonna do about it.
I don't hear or see any riot.Copy !req
1215. What's more, I don't believe
there is any riot. Look for yourself.Copy !req
1216. All right, let's go.Copy !req
1217. Oklahoma.
E-L-2-0-4.Copy !req
1218. You have no right
to arrest anybody without a warrant.Copy !req
1219. We'll have a warrant just as soon
as we check with headquarters.Copy !req
1220. Tommy.Copy !req
1221. Ain't you gonna tell me goodbye?Copy !req
1222. I didn't know, Ma.Copy !req
1223. I didn't know if I ought to.Copy !req
1224. - Ma...
- Hush, Ruthie.Copy !req
1225. Come outside.Copy !req
1226. There was some cops here tonight.
They was taking down license numbers.Copy !req
1227. I guess somebody knows something.Copy !req
1228. I guess it had to come sooner or later.Copy !req
1229. Sit down for a minute.Copy !req
1230. I'd like to stay, Ma.Copy !req
1231. I'd like to be with you
and see your face...Copy !req
1232. when you and Pa
get settled in some nice place.Copy !req
1233. I'd sure like to see you then.Copy !req
1234. But I won't never get that chance,
I guess, now.Copy !req
1235. - I could hide you, Tommy.
- I know you would, but I ain't gonna let you.Copy !req
1236. You hide somebody that's killed a guy
and you're in trouble too.Copy !req
1237. All right, Tommy.Copy !req
1238. But what do you figure you're gonna do?Copy !req
1239. You know what I've been thinking about?Copy !req
1240. About Casy.Copy !req
1241. About what he said...Copy !req
1242. what he done...Copy !req
1243. about how he died.Copy !req
1244. And I remember all of it.Copy !req
1245. He was a good man.Copy !req
1246. I've been thinking about us too.Copy !req
1247. About our people living like pigs...Copy !req
1248. and good, rich land laying fallow.Copy !req
1249. Or maybe one guy with a million acres
and 100,000 farmers starving.Copy !req
1250. And I've been wondering if...Copy !req
1251. all our folks got together and yelled...Copy !req
1252. Tommy.
They'd drive you out and cut you down...Copy !req
1253. just like they done to Casy.
They're gonna drive me anyways.Copy !req
1254. Sooner or later they'd get me,
for one thing if not for another.Copy !req
1255. Until then...Copy !req
1256. Tommy.Copy !req
1257. - You're not aiming to kill nobody?
- No, Ma. Not that. That ain't it.Copy !req
1258. It's just...Copy !req
1259. Well, as long as I'm an outlaw anyways,
maybe I can do something.Copy !req
1260. Maybe I can just find out something.Copy !req
1261. Just scrounge around
and maybe find out what it is that's wrong.Copy !req
1262. Then see if there ain't something
that can be done about it.Copy !req
1263. I ain't thought it all out clear, Ma.
I...Copy !req
1264. I can't.
I don't know enough.Copy !req
1265. How am I gonna know about you, Tommy?Copy !req
1266. Why, they could kill you
and I'd never know.Copy !req
1267. They could hurt you.
How am I gonna know?Copy !req
1268. Well, maybe it's like Casy says.Copy !req
1269. Fella ain't got a soul of his own,
just...Copy !req
1270. a little piece of a big soul.Copy !req
1271. The one big soul
that belongs to everybody.Copy !req
1272. Then...Copy !req
1273. - Then what, Tom?
- Then it don't matter.Copy !req
1274. I'll be all around in the dark.Copy !req
1275. I'll be everywhere...Copy !req
1276. wherever you can look.Copy !req
1277. Wherever there's a fight
so hungry people can eat, I'll be there.Copy !req
1278. Wherever there's a cop beating up a guy,
I'll be there.Copy !req
1279. I'll be in the way guys yell
when they're mad.Copy !req
1280. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're
hungry and they know supper's ready.Copy !req
1281. And when the people
are eating the stuff they raise...Copy !req
1282. and living in the houses they build...Copy !req
1283. I'll be there too.Copy !req
1284. I don't understand it, Tom.Copy !req
1285. Me neither, Ma, but...Copy !req
1286. it's just something
I've been thinking about.Copy !req
1287. Give me your hand, Ma.Copy !req
1288. Goodbye.Copy !req
1289. Goodbye, Tommy.Copy !req
1290. Later, when this is blowed over...Copy !req
1291. you'll come back?Copy !req
1292. Sure, Ma.Copy !req
1293. Tom, we ain't the kissing kind, but...Copy !req
1294. Goodbye, Ma.Copy !req
1295. Goodbye, Tommy.Copy !req
1296. Tommy.Copy !req
1297. Goodbye.Copy !req
1298. Turn that up, Al, and get her rolled up.Copy !req
1299. - How you fixed, John?
- Getting along.Copy !req
1300. Here.Copy !req
1301. Winfield, get on top, out of the way.Copy !req
1302. I don't see what you folks
are hurrying so for.Copy !req
1303. They tell me there's 20 days' work
up there.Copy !req
1304. Yes, sir, and we aim to get in
all 20 of them.Copy !req
1305. - All ready, Ma?
- Yes. How you feeling, Rosasharn?Copy !req
1306. All aboard, everybody.
All aboard for Fresno.Copy !req
1307. Wait a minute.
I'll give you a hand.Copy !req
1308. - Careful of her, now.
- Easy, child.Copy !req
1309. She'll be all right.Copy !req
1310. - Watch her, John.
- I'll take care of her.Copy !req
1311. - How are you fixed, Al?
- All right, Pa.Copy !req
1312. Now, Ma...Copy !req
1313. Goodbye.Copy !req
1314. - Bye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
1315. - Bye-bye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
1316. - Thanks a lot. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
1317. Thanks, Mr. Conway.Copy !req
1318. - Bye.
- Be careful.Copy !req
1319. Goodbye.Copy !req
1320. Twenty days' work.
Oh, boy!Copy !req
1321. I'll be glad to get my hands on some cotton.
That's the kind of picking I understand.Copy !req
1322. Maybe. Maybe 20 days' work
and maybe no days' work.Copy !req
1323. - We ain't got it till we get it.
- What's the matter, Ma? Getting scared?Copy !req
1324. Scared.
Ha!Copy !req
1325. I ain't never gonna be scared no more.Copy !req
1326. I was though. For a while, it looked
as though we was beat. Good and beat.Copy !req
1327. Looked like we didn't have nobody
in the whole wide world but enemies.Copy !req
1328. Like nobody was friendly no more.Copy !req
1329. Made me feel kind of bad and scared too.Copy !req
1330. Like we was lost and nobody cared.Copy !req
1331. You're the one that keeps us going, Ma.Copy !req
1332. I ain't no good no more and I know it.Copy !req
1333. Seems like I spend all my time these days
thinking how it used to be.Copy !req
1334. Thinking of home.Copy !req
1335. I ain't never gonna see it no more.Copy !req
1336. Well, Pa, a woman can change
better than a man.Copy !req
1337. A man lives sort of, well, in jerks.Copy !req
1338. Baby's born or somebody dies,
and that's a jerk.Copy !req
1339. He gets a farm or loses it,
and that's a jerk.Copy !req
1340. With a woman, it's all in one flow
like a stream.Copy !req
1341. Little eddies and waterfalls,
but the river, it goes right on.Copy !req
1342. A woman looks at it that way.Copy !req
1343. Maybe, but we're sure taking a beating.Copy !req
1344. I know.Copy !req
1345. That's what makes us tough.Copy !req
1346. Rich fellas come up and they die...Copy !req
1347. and their kids ain't no good,
and they die out.Copy !req
1348. But we keep coming.
We're the people that live.Copy !req
1349. They can't wipe us out.
They can't lick us.Copy !req
1350. We'll go on forever, Pa,
because we're the people.Copy !req
