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

780. We gotta get the truck loaded. Ma.Copy !req
781. Pa.Copy !req

- Oh, she just got sassy, that's all.Copy !req
783. Well, we'll fight it out later.
We gotta hustle. Where's Connie?Copy !req
784. Well, Tom, he's gone.Copy !req
785. He lit out this evening. Said he
didn't know it was going to be like this.Copy !req
786. Glad to get shot of him.Copy !req
787. - Never was no good, never will be.
- Pa, shh!Copy !req
788. How come I got to shh?
Run out on us, didn't he?Copy !req
789. Cut it out, Pa. Help Al with the truck.Copy !req
790. Some of the fellas in town,
they're gonna burn out the camp tonight.Copy !req
791. Don't fret, honey. You'll be all right.Copy !req
792. Tom, I just don't feel like nothing at all.Copy !req
793. Without him, I just don't wanna live.Copy !req
794. He'll be back. We'll leave word for him.Copy !req
795. Just don't you worry.Copy !req
796. Get on. Ma, you and Rosasharn climb up.Copy !req
797. Ma.Copy !req
798. Maybe... Maybe Connie gone
to get some books to study up with.Copy !req
799. He gonna be a radio expert, you know.Copy !req
800. Maybe he figured to surprise us.Copy !req
801. Maybe that's just what he done.Copy !req
802. Ma, there comes a time
when a man gets mad.Copy !req
803. - You promised me...
- I know, Ma. I'm trying to.Copy !req
804. If there was a law, maybe we could take it.
But it ain't the law.Copy !req
805. They're working on our spirits...Copy !req
806. trying to make us cringe and crawl,
working on our decency.Copy !req
807. - You promised, Tom.
- I know. I'm trying to, Ma. Honest I am.Copy !req
808. You gotta keep clear. The family's
breaking up. You gotta keep clear.Copy !req
809. What's that? A detour?Copy !req
810. - Tom! Tom! Please!
- Tom!Copy !req
811. Just where do you think you're going?Copy !req
812. Well...Copy !req
813. We're strangers here, mister. We heard
there was work in a place called Tovaris.Copy !req
814. Yeah? You're heading the wrong way.Copy !req
815. What's more, we don't want
no more Okies in this town.Copy !req
816. There ain't enough work here
for them that's already here.Copy !req
817. - Which way's it at, mister?
- You turn right around and head north.Copy !req
818. And don't you come back
until the cotton's ready. You understand?Copy !req
819. Pa. Let's try that other tire.Copy !req
820. - You got another flat tire, Tom?
- What? Another one? Ha-ha-ha.Copy !req
821. Pa, get that spare back there?Copy !req
822. Ma, will you get the hell off there?
This is gonna be heavy enough.Copy !req
823. Tell you, something's got
to happen soon.Copy !req
824. We're down to our last day of grease
and two days of flour and 10 potatoes.Copy !req
825. And Rosasharn, we gotta remember
she's gonna be due soon.Copy !req
826. - Morning.
- Morning.Copy !req
827. - You folks looking for work?
- We're looking under boards for work.Copy !req
828. - Can you pick peaches?
- We can pick anything.Copy !req
829. There's plenty of work
about 40 miles up here, this side of Pixley.Copy !req
830. You turn east on 32, look for the Keene
ranch. Tell them Spencer sent you.Copy !req
831. - Mister, we sure thank you.

832. - Come on, Ma.

838. Oh, a little trouble up there,
but you'll get through all right.Copy !req
839. - Go ahead.
- Right there.Copy !req
840. What do you think it is? A washout?Copy !req
841. I don't know what these cops
have got to do with it, but I don't like it.Copy !req
842. These are our own people too,
all of them. I don't like this.Copy !req
843. Get going. Stay in line.Copy !req
844. Go ahead.Copy !req
845. What are you gonna do, scab?Copy !req
846. Go on. Hurry up.Copy !req
847. Come on, come on, come on.Copy !req

849. Up the street there.Copy !req
850. Keep in line, up the street.Copy !req
851. Hold it, bud.Copy !req
852. - Wanna work?

856. - Kids?

857. Can you all work?Copy !req
858. - Sure, I guess so.
- Okay. House 63.Copy !req
859. Wages, 5 cents a box. No bruised fruit.Copy !req
860. Move along. You go to work right away.Copy !req
861. Come on, honey.Copy !req
862. - Name?
- Joad.Copy !req
863. Say, what is all this here?Copy !req
864. - Joad. Not here.
- License?Copy !req
865. Oklahoma E-L-2-0-4.Copy !req
866. Don't check.Copy !req
867. Now, you look here.
We don't want no trouble with you.Copy !req
868. Just do your own work and mind
your business, and you'll be all right.Copy !req
869. Sure do wanna make you
feel at home here, all right.Copy !req
870. - We gonna live here, Ma?
- Why, sure.Copy !req
871. This won't be so bad
once we get her washed out.Copy !req
872. I liked the tent better.Copy !req
873. Why, this has got a floor.Copy !req
874. It won't leak when it rains.Copy !req
875. Here. This might come in handy.Copy !req
876. - Name?
- Still Joad.Copy !req
877. - How many?
- Six. You all go on.Copy !req
878. Rosasharn and me will unload the truck.Copy !req
879. - Any more of them hamburgers, Ma?
- No, there ain't.Copy !req
880. - You made a dollar. That's a dollar's worth.
- Dollar's worth? That?Copy !req
881. They charge extra at that company store
and there ain't no other place.Copy !req
882. Well, I ain't full.Copy !req
883. Well, tomorrow you'll get in
a full day's work...Copy !req
884. and a full day's pay,
and then we'll all have enough.Copy !req
885. You wouldn't think just reaching up
and picking would get you in the back.Copy !req
886. Think I'll walk out and find out
what all that fuss outside the gate was.Copy !req
887. - Anybody come with me?
- No, I think I'll set a while, then go to bed.Copy !req
888. Think I'll look around
and see if I can't meet me a girl.Copy !req
889. - Say, when I was your age...
- Pa!Copy !req
890. Working on me what all that yelling
was about. Got me all curious.Copy !req
891. I'll be back in a little while.Copy !req
892. Tom. Now, you be careful. Don't you
go sticking your nose in anything.Copy !req
893. Okay, Ma. Don't worry.Copy !req
894. Where do you think you're going?Copy !req
895. I thought I'd take a walk.Copy !req
896. - Is there any law against that?
- You can just turn around and walk back.Copy !req
897. - You mean I can't even get out of here?
- Not tonight, you can't.Copy !req
898. Do you wanna walk back? Or shall I whistle
up some help and have you taken back?Copy !req
899. I'll walk back.Copy !req
900. - Evening.
- Who are you?Copy !req
901. - Just going past, that's all.
- Know anybody around here?Copy !req
902. No. Just going past, I tell you.Copy !req
903. - Casy!
- Well, if it ain't Tom Joad. Hi, boy.Copy !req
904. - I thought you was in jail.
- No. They just run me out of town.Copy !req
905. Come on in. Tom Joad.Copy !req
906. - This the fella you been talking about?
- That's him. What are you doing here?Copy !req
907. Working, picking peaches.Copy !req
908. I heard fellas shouting when we come in.
I came to find out what's going on.Copy !req
909. - What's it all about?
- This here's a strike.Copy !req
910. Well, 5 cents a box ain't much,
but a fella can eat.Copy !req
911. - Five cents? They paying you 5 cents?
- Sure. We made a buck since midday.Copy !req
912. Lookie, Tom. We come here to work.Copy !req
913. They tell us it's gonna be 5 cents,
but there's a whole lot of us.Copy !req
914. So the man says 2 and a half cents.Copy !req
915. A fella can't even eat on that
and if he's got kids...Copy !req
916. So we says we won't take it.Copy !req
917. So they drive us off.
Now they're paying you 5 cents.Copy !req
918. But if they bust this strike,
you think they'll pay 5?Copy !req
919. Don't know. Paying 5 now.Copy !req
920. They'll get 2 and a half cents
just the minute we're gone.Copy !req
921. You know what that is.Copy !req
922. One ton of peaches,
picked and carried for a dollar.Copy !req
923. That way you can't even
buy enough food to keep you alive.Copy !req
924. Tell them to come out with us, Tom.
Them peaches is ripe.Copy !req
925. Two days out and they'll pay us all 5,
maybe 7.Copy !req
926. They won't. They're getting 5 now.
That's all they care about.Copy !req
927. But the moment they ain't strikebreaking,
they won't get no 5.Copy !req
928. Next thing you know you'll be out.
They got it all fixed down to a tee.Copy !req
929. Well, soon as the harvest is in, you're
a migrant worker. Afterwards, just a bum.Copy !req
930. Five they're getting now.
That's all they're interested in.Copy !req
931. I know exactly what Pa would say.
He'd say it's none of his business.Copy !req
932. That's right. He'll have to
take a beating before he'll know.Copy !req
933. Take a beating? We was out of food.Copy !req
934. Tonight we had meat.
Not much, but we had it.Copy !req
935. You think Pa's gonna give up his meat
on account of some other fellas?Copy !req
936. Rosasharn needs milk.Copy !req
937. You think Ma's gonna starve that baby just
on account of fellas yelling outside a gate?Copy !req
938. Tom, you gotta learn like I'm learning.Copy !req
939. I don't know what's right yet myself,
but I'm trying to find out.Copy !req
940. That's why I can't ever be
a preacher again.Copy !req
941. Preacher's gotta know.Copy !req
942. I don't know.Copy !req
943. I gotta ask.Copy !req
944. - I don't like it.
- What's the matter?Copy !req
945. I can't tell.Copy !req
946. Seems as though I hear something and
when I listen, there ain't nothing to hear.Copy !req
947. - It ain't out of the question, you know.
- We're all a little itchy.Copy !req
948. Cops been telling us how they're
gonna beat us up and run us out.Copy !req
949. Not them regular deputies, but them
tin-seal men. The ones they got for guards.Copy !req
950. They figure I'm the leader
because I talk so much.Copy !req
951. Turn out the light. Come outside.
There's something here.Copy !req
952. - What is it?
- I don't know. Listen.Copy !req
953. - Can't tell whether you hear it or not.
- You hear it, Tom?Copy !req
954. I hear it. I think there's some guys
coming this way, a lot of them.Copy !req
955. - We gotta get out of here.
- Down that way, under the bridge span.Copy !req
956. There he is! The one in the middle,
the skinny one. Chuck, Alec, get him!Copy !req
957. You don't know what you're doing!
You're helping to starve kids.Copy !req
958. - Shut up, you dirty...
- Casy!Copy !req
959. - You've killed him!
- Serves him right too.Copy !req
960. Look out!Copy !req
961. He's dead. He's good and dead.
Did you see the fella that done it?Copy !req
962. I ain't sure, but I caught him across the face,
a trademark he won't get rid of in a hurry.Copy !req
963. Ma?Copy !req
964. Tom! Tom! Pa, wake up. Al, get the light.Copy !req
965. Come on.Copy !req
966. - Anybody ask anything?
- No, ma'am.Copy !req
967. - Well, you stay by that door.
- Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
968. Tommy?Copy !req
969. How's it feel?Copy !req
970. Busted my cheek, but I can still see.Copy !req
971. - What'd you hear?
- Looks like you've done it.Copy !req
972. I thought so. Felt like it.Copy !req
973. Folks ain't talking about much else.Copy !req
974. They say they got posses out.Copy !req
975. Talking about a lynching
when they catch the fella.Copy !req
976. They killed Casy first.Copy !req
977. That ain't the way they're telling it.
They're saying you done it first.Copy !req
978. Do they know what the fella looks like?Copy !req
979. They know he got hit in the face.Copy !req
980. I'm sorry, Ma.Copy !req
981. I didn't know what I was doing
any more than when you take a breath.Copy !req
982. I didn't even know I was gonna do it.Copy !req
983. Oh, it's all right, Tommy.Copy !req
984. I wished you didn't do it...Copy !req
985. but you done what you had to do...Copy !req
986. and I can't read no fault in you.Copy !req
987. I'm going away tonight.
I can't go putting this on you folks.Copy !req
988. Tom.Copy !req
989. There's a whole lot I don't understand.Copy !req
990. But going away ain't gonna ease us.Copy !req
991. There was a time we was on the land.Copy !req
992. There was a boundary to us then.Copy !req
993. Old folks died off and little fellas come.Copy !req
994. We was always one thing.Copy !req
995. We was the family.Copy !req
996. Kind of whole and clear.Copy !req
997. But now we ain't clear no more.Copy !req
998. There ain't nothing that keeps us clear.Copy !req
999. Al, he's hankering and gibbeting
to be off on his own.Copy !req
1000. Uncle John's just dragging around.Copy !req
1001. Your pa's lost his place.
He ain't the head no more.Copy !req
1002. We're cracking up, Tom.Copy !req
1003. There ain't no family now.Copy !req
1004. And Rosasharn, she's gonna have her baby,
but it won't have no family.Copy !req
1005. I been trying to keep her going, but...Copy !req
1006. And Winfield...Copy !req
1007. what's he gonna be this way?Copy !req
1008. Growing up wild. And Ruthie too.Copy !req
1009. Just like animals.Copy !req
1010. Got nothing to trust.Copy !req
1011. Don't go, Tom.Copy !req
1012. Stay and help.Copy !req
1013. Help me.Copy !req
1014. Okay, Ma. I shouldn't.
I know I shouldn't, but okay.Copy !req
1015. Ma, here come a lot of people.Copy !req
1016. - How many?
- Ten of us.Copy !req
1017. House 25. The number's on the door.Copy !req
1018. - Okay, mister. What you paying?
- Two and a half cents.Copy !req
1019. Two and a half? Say, mister,
a man can't make his dinner on that.Copy !req
1020. Take it or leave it.Copy !req
1021. There are 200 men coming in
from the South that'll be glad to get it.Copy !req
1022. - But how are we going to eat?
- Look.Copy !req
1023. I didn't set the price. If you want it, okay.
If you don't, turn around and beat it.Copy !req
1024. - Which way to House 25?
- Straight up the street.Copy !req
1025. That Casy.Copy !req
1026. He might have been a preacher,
but he seen things clear.Copy !req
1027. He was like a lantern.Copy !req
1028. He helped me to see things too.Copy !req
1029. Comes night, we'll get out of here.Copy !req
1030. Like a lantern.Copy !req
1031. - I'll start the car.
- Yes.Copy !req
1032. All right, Tom.Copy !req
1033. Jump up. Jump up.Copy !req
1034. Just till we get distance.
Then you can come out.Copy !req
1035. I'd hate to get trapped in here.Copy !req
1036. Get in, Ma.Copy !req
1037. Come on, John.Copy !req
1038. - Hey! Where you going?
- We're going out.Copy !req
1039. - What for?
- We got a job offered. A good job.Copy !req
1040. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1041. Well, let's take a look at you.Copy !req
1042. - Wasn't there another fella with you?
- You mean that hitchhiker?Copy !req
1043. - Little short fella with a pale face?
- I guess that's what he looked like.Copy !req
1044. We just picked him up on the way in.Copy !req
1045. - He left when the rate dropped.
- What did you say he looked like again?Copy !req
1046. Short fella, pale face.Copy !req
1047. Was he bruised about the face
this morning?Copy !req
1048. I didn't see nothing.Copy !req
1049. Okay, go on.Copy !req

away from here.Copy !req
1055. She's... She's hotter than a heifer.Copy !req
1056. The fan belt's shot.Copy !req
1057. Sure picked a nice place for it too,
didn't she?Copy !req
1058. - Got any gas?
- About half a gallon.Copy !req
1059. Well, Ma, sure looks like
we done her this time.Copy !req
1060. Lights up ahead.
That might be a camp or something.Copy !req
1061. Looks like about a mile.
Reckon she'll coast her, Al?Copy !req
1062. - Got to coast it.
- Well, let's give her a whirl, huh?Copy !req
1063. Come on, kids. Get in. John!Copy !req
1064. Did you hurt yourself, John?Copy !req
1065. No.Copy !req
1066. - You hit it too fast.
- What's the idea of that?Copy !req
1067. Well, you see, a lot of children
play in here.Copy !req
1068. You can tell people to drive slow
and they're liable to forget...Copy !req
1069. but once they hit that hump,
they don't forget.Copy !req
1070. - Got any room here for us?
- Oh, you're lucky.Copy !req
1071. How do you do, ma'am? How are you?Copy !req
1072. How are you?Copy !req
1073. Down that line, turn to the left. You'll see it.
You'll be in Number 4 sanitary unit.Copy !req
1074. - What's that?
- Mm, toilet, showers, washtubs.Copy !req
1075. You mean we'll have
washtubs with running water?Copy !req
1076. Yes, ma'am. Ha.Copy !req
1077. Camp committee will call on you
in the morning, get you fixed.Copy !req
1078. - Cops?
- No. No cops.Copy !req
1079. No, people here elect their own cops.
The ladies' committee'll call on you, ma'am.Copy !req
1080. Tell you about the children,
the schools and sanitary unit...Copy !req
1081. and who takes care of them.Copy !req
1082. Will you come inside and sign up?Copy !req
1083. Drive her on down, Al. I'll sign up.Copy !req
1084. Right this way. In here.Copy !req
1085. Now, I don't wanna seem inquisitive,
you understand...Copy !req
1086. but there's certain information
I have to have. What's your name?Copy !req
1087. Joad. Tom Joad.Copy !req
1088. - J-O...

1089. A-D.Copy !req
1090. And how many of you?Copy !req

- I ain't so good, but I'm coming.Copy !req
1093. Come on.Copy !req
1094. Shove.Copy !req
1095. Campsite costs a dollar a week.
You can work that out...Copy !req
1096. carrying garbage, keeping
the camp clean, things like that.Copy !req
1097. We'll work it out.Copy !req
1098. What's the committee
you're talking about?Copy !req
1099. We have five sanitary units.
Each one elects a central committee man.Copy !req
1100. They make the laws
and what they say goes.Copy !req
1101. You aiming to tell me the fellas running
the camp are just fellas camping here?Copy !req
1102. - That's the way it is.
- And you say no cops?Copy !req
1103. No cop can come in here
without a warrant.Copy !req
1104. I can't hardly believe it.Copy !req
1105. Camp I was in before, they burnt it out.
Deputies and some of them poolroom fellas.Copy !req
1106. They don't get in here.
Sometimes the boys patrol the fences.Copy !req
1107. - Especially on dance nights.
- You got dances too?Copy !req
1108. We have the best dances in the county,
every Saturday night.Copy !req
1109. - Who runs this place?
- The government.Copy !req
1110. - Why ain't there more like it?
- You find out. I can't.Copy !req
1111. Is there anything like work around here?Copy !req
1112. I can't promise you that...Copy !req
1113. but there'll be a licensed agent here later
if you wanna talk to him.Copy !req
1114. Eh, that cut you have?Copy !req
1115. - Crate fell on me.
- You'd better take care of it.Copy !req
1116. Store manager will give you
something for it. See you later.Copy !req
1117. Ma's sure gonna like it here.Copy !req
1118. She ain't been treated decent for...Copy !req
1119. a long while.Copy !req
1120. See you later.Copy !req
1121. - Winfield. I got something to show you.
- What's the matter?Copy !req
1122. It's some white things made out
of dish stuff, like in the catalogs.Copy !req
1123. Come on, I'll show you.Copy !req
1124. Come on. Ain't nobody
gonna say anything.Copy !req
1125. There's where you wash your hands.Copy !req
1126. - What's these?
- I reckon you stand in them little rooms.Copy !req
1127. And water comes down out of that
little jigger up there. You take a bath.Copy !req
1128. - Oh, look. Just like in the catalogs.
- Hey! Don't you go monkeying!Copy !req
1129. Now you done it! You busted it!Copy !req
1130. All I done was pull that string.Copy !req

burning other squatters' camps...Copy !req
1144. and order agitators
to leave the county."Copy !req
1145. Listen. What is these reds anyway?Copy !req
1146. Every time you turn around,
somebody's calling somebody else a red.Copy !req
1147. What is these reds anyway?Copy !req
1148. Oh, I ain't talking about that,
one way or the other.Copy !req
1149. All I'm saying is there's going to be
a fight at the camp Saturday night...Copy !req
1150. and there'll be deputies ready to go in.Copy !req
1151. Now go on with your work.Copy !req
1152. Maybe I've talked myself into trouble,
but you're folks like us and I like you.Copy !req
1153. We won't tell who told. Thank you.Copy !req
1154. - All right.
- There ain't gonna be no fight either.Copy !req
1155. - Evening. Who'd you say invited you?

Glad to see you.Copy !req
1158. - Hello.

1159. - Going to the dance tonight? I can waltz.

1160. - Not like me, they can't.

She's gonna be married...Copy !req
1162. and her man's coming for her. So get!Copy !req

1182. Howdy do.Copy !req
1183. Hey, Jackson.Copy !req
1184. Look. Did you ever see them fellas before?Copy !req
1185. Sorry, neighbor,
but, uh, we got to keep the camp clean.Copy !req
1186. I know one of them. Used to work with him.
I never asked him to the dance though.Copy !req
1187. All right. Keep your eye on them.
Just keep them in sight, that's all.Copy !req
1188. I seen them. A car with five men
parked down by the eucalyptus trees.Copy !req
1189. And another with four men on the main
road. And they got guns, I seen them.Copy !req
1190. Thank you, Willy. You done right good.
You can run along and dance now.Copy !req
1191. Well, sure looks like
the fat's in the fire this time.Copy !req
1192. What them deputies wanna hurt the camp
for? How come they can't let us alone?Copy !req
1193. - We ought to get some pickax handles...
- No. That's just what they want.Copy !req
1194. No, sirree. If they can get a fight going...Copy !req
1195. they can call in the cops,
say we ain't orderly.Copy !req
1196. - They're here. We got them spotted.
- Got everything ready?Copy !req
1197. - There ain't gonna be trouble.
- I don't want you hurting them.Copy !req
1198. Don't worry. Everything's arranged.
Maybe nobody will even see it.Copy !req
1199. Well, just don't use no sticks
or no knives or no piece of iron.Copy !req
1200. If you gotta sock them,
sock them where they ain't gonna bleed.Copy !req
1201. Gentlemen, hats off, please. Thank you.Copy !req
1202. - She's getting prettier every day, Ma.
- Girl with a baby's always prettier.Copy !req
1203. - Come on, Ma, let's dance.
- Oh, Tom. I can't. Ha-ha-ha.Copy !req
1204. Well, all right.Copy !req
1205. Tom, stop.Copy !req
1206. Come and sit by my side if you love meCopy !req
1207. Do not hasten to bid me adieuCopy !req
1208. But remember the Red River ValleyCopy !req
1209. And the boy who had loved you so trueCopy !req
1210. Nine-twenty-nine. Let's go!Copy !req
1211. All right, 9:30. Here we go.Copy !req
1212. - All right. I'll dance with her.
- You and who else?Copy !req
1213. Excuse me, Ma.Copy !req
1214. Open up! We're here about a riot!Copy !req
1215. - Riot? I don't see any riot. Who are you?
- Deputy sheriffs.Copy !req
1216. - Have you got a warrant?
- We don't need a warrant when there's a riot.Copy !req
1217. I don't know what you're gonna do
about it. I don't hear or see any riot.Copy !req
1218. What's more, I don't believe
there is any riot. Look for yourself.Copy !req
1219. All right, let's go.Copy !req
1220. Oklahoma. E-L-2-0-4.Copy !req
1221. You have no right
to arrest anybody without a warrant.Copy !req
1222. We'll have a warrant just as soon
as we check with headquarters.Copy !req
1223. Tommy.Copy !req
1224. Ain't you gonna tell me goodbye?Copy !req
1225. I didn't know, Ma.Copy !req
1226. I didn't know if I ought to.Copy !req
1227. - Ma...
- Hush, Ruthie.Copy !req
1228. Come outside.Copy !req
1229. There was some cops here tonight.
They was taking down license numbers.Copy !req
1230. I guess somebody knows something.Copy !req
1231. I guess it had to come sooner or later.Copy !req
1232. Sit down for a minute.Copy !req
1233. I'd like to stay, Ma.Copy !req
1234. I'd like to be with you
and see your face...Copy !req
1235. when you and Pa
get settled in some nice place.Copy !req
1236. I'd sure like to see you then.Copy !req
1237. But I won't never get that chance,
I guess, now.Copy !req
1238. - I could hide you, Tommy.
- I know you would, but I ain't gonna let you.Copy !req
1239. You hide somebody that's killed a guy
and you're in trouble too.Copy !req
1240. All right, Tommy.Copy !req
1241. But what do you figure you're gonna do?Copy !req
1242. You know what I've been thinking about?Copy !req
1243. About Casy.Copy !req
1244. About what he said...Copy !req
1245. what he done...Copy !req
1246. about how he died.Copy !req
1247. And I remember all of it.Copy !req
1248. He was a good man.Copy !req
1249. I've been thinking about us too.Copy !req
1250. About our people living like pigs...Copy !req
1251. and good, rich land laying fallow.Copy !req
1252. Or maybe one guy with a million acres
and 100,000 farmers starving.Copy !req
1253. And I've been wondering if...Copy !req
1254. all our folks got together and yelled...Copy !req
1255. Tommy. They'd drive you out
and cut you down...Copy !req
1256. - ... just like they done to Casy.
- They're gonna drive me anyways.Copy !req
1257. Sooner or later they'd get me,
for one thing if not for another.Copy !req
1258. Until then...Copy !req
1259. Tommy.Copy !req
1260. - You're not aiming to kill nobody?
- No, Ma. Not that. That ain't it.Copy !req
1261. It's just...Copy !req
1262. Well, as long as I'm an outlaw anyways,
maybe I can do something.Copy !req
1263. Maybe I can just find out something.Copy !req
1264. Just scrounge around
and maybe find out what it is that's wrong.Copy !req
1265. Then see if there ain't something
that can be done about it.Copy !req
1266. I ain't thought it all out clear, Ma. I...Copy !req
1267. I can't. I don't know enough.Copy !req
1268. How am I gonna
know about you, Tommy?Copy !req
1269. Why, they could kill you
and I'd never know.Copy !req
1270. They could hurt you.
How am I gonna know?Copy !req
1271. Well, maybe it's like Casy says.Copy !req
1272. Fella ain't got a soul of his own,
just...Copy !req
1273. a little piece of a big soul.Copy !req
1274. The one big soul
that belongs to everybody.Copy !req
1275. Then...Copy !req
1276. - Then what, Tom?
- Then it don't matter.Copy !req
1277. I'll be all around in the dark.Copy !req
1278. I'll be everywhere...Copy !req
1279. wherever you can look.Copy !req
1280. Wherever there's a fight
so hungry people can eat, I'll be there.Copy !req
1281. Wherever there's a cop beating up a guy,
I'll be there.Copy !req
1282. I'll be in the way guys yell
when they're mad.Copy !req
1283. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're
hungry and they know supper's ready.Copy !req
1284. And when the people
are eating the stuff they raise...Copy !req
1285. and living in the houses they build...Copy !req
1286. I'll be there too.Copy !req
1287. I don't understand it, Tom.Copy !req
1288. Me neither, Ma, but...Copy !req
1289. it's just something
I've been thinking about.Copy !req
1290. Give me your hand, Ma.Copy !req
1291. Goodbye.Copy !req
1292. Goodbye, Tommy.Copy !req
1293. Later, when this is blowed over...Copy !req
1294. you'll come back?Copy !req
1295. Sure, Ma.Copy !req
1296. Tom, we ain't the kissing kind, but...Copy !req
1297. Goodbye, Ma.Copy !req
1298. Goodbye, Tommy.Copy !req
1299. Tommy.Copy !req
1300. Goodbye.Copy !req
1301. Turn that up, Al, and get her rolled up.Copy !req
1302. - How you fixed, John?
- Getting along.Copy !req
1303. Here.Copy !req
1304. Winfield, get on top, out of the way.Copy !req
1305. I don't see what you folks
are hurrying so for.Copy !req
1306. They tell me there's 20 days' work
up there.Copy !req
1307. Yes, sir, and we aim to get in
all 20 of them.Copy !req
1308. - All ready, Ma?
- Yes. How you feeling, Rosasharn?Copy !req
1309. All aboard, everybody.
All aboard for Fresno.Copy !req
1310. Wait a minute. I'll give you a hand.Copy !req
1311. - Careful of her, now.
- Easy, child.Copy !req
1312. She'll be all right.Copy !req
1313. - Watch her, John.
- I'll take care of her.Copy !req
1314. - How are you fixed, Al?
- All right, Pa.Copy !req
1315. Now, Ma...Copy !req
1316. Goodbye.Copy !req
1317. - Bye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
1318. - Bye-bye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
1319. - Thanks a lot. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
1320. Thanks, Mr. Conway.Copy !req
1321. - Bye.
- Be careful.Copy !req
1322. Goodbye.Copy !req
1323. Twenty days' work. Oh, boy!Copy !req
1324. I'll be glad to get my hands on some cotton.
That's the kind of picking I understand.Copy !req
1325. Maybe. Maybe 20 days' work
and maybe no days' work.Copy !req
1326. - We ain't got it till we get it.
- What's the matter, Ma? Getting scared?Copy !req
1327. Scared. Ha!Copy !req
1328. I ain't never gonna be scared no more.Copy !req
1329. I was though. For a while, it looked
as though we was beat. Good and beat.Copy !req
1330. Looked like we didn't have nobody
in the whole wide world but enemies.Copy !req
1331. Like nobody was friendly no more.Copy !req
1332. Made me feel kind of bad and scared too.Copy !req
1333. Like we was lost and nobody cared.Copy !req
1334. You're the one that keeps us going, Ma.Copy !req
1335. I ain't no good no more and I know it.Copy !req
1336. Seems like I spend all my time these days
thinking how it used to be.Copy !req
1337. Thinking of home.Copy !req
1338. I ain't never gonna see it no more.Copy !req
1339. Well, Pa, a woman can change
better than a man.Copy !req
1340. A man lives sort of, well, in jerks.Copy !req
1341. Baby's born or somebody dies,
and that's a jerk.Copy !req
1342. He gets a farm or loses it,
and that's a jerk.Copy !req
1343. With a woman, it's all in one flow
like a stream.Copy !req
1344. Little eddies and waterfalls,
but the river, it goes right on.Copy !req
1345. A woman looks at it that way.Copy !req
1346. Maybe, but we're sure taking a beating.Copy !req
1347. I know. Heh.Copy !req
1348. That's what makes us tough.Copy !req
1349. Rich fellas come up and they die...Copy !req
1350. and their kids ain't no good,
and they die out.Copy !req
1351. But we keep coming.
We're the people that live.Copy !req
1352. They can't wipe us out.
They can't lick us.Copy !req
1353. We'll go on forever, Pa,
because we're the people.Copy !req
