751 Get on. Ma, you and Rosasharn climb up. 752 Ma. 753 Maybe... maybe Connie gone to get some books to study up with. 754 He going to be a radio expert, you know. 755 Maybe he figured to surprise us. 756 Maybe that's just what he done. 757 Ma, there comes a time when a man gets mad. 758 - You promised me... - I know, Ma. I'm trying to. 759 If there was a law, maybe we could take it. But it ain't the law. 760 They're working on our spirits, trying to make us cringe and crawl, working on our decency. 761 - You promised, Tom. - I know. I'm trying to, Ma. Honest I am. 762 You gotta keep clear. The family's breaking up. You gotta keep clear. 763 What's that? A detour? 764 - Tom! Tom! Please! - Tom! 765 Just where do you think you're going? 766 Well... 767 We're strangers here, mister. We heard there was work in a place called Tovaris. 768 Yeah? You're heading the wrong way. What's more, we don't want more Okies in this town. 769 There ain't enough work here for them that's already here. 770 - Which way's it at? - You turn right around and head north. 771 And don't you come back until the cotton's ready. You understand? 772 Pa. Let's try that other tyre. 773 - You got another flat tyre, Tom? - What? Another one? 774 Pa, get that spare back there? 775 Ma, will you get the hell off there. This is gonna be heavy enough. 776 Tell you, something's got to happen soon. 777 We're down to our last day of grease and two days of flour and ten potatoes. 778 And Rosasharn - we gotta remember she's gonna be due soon. 779 - Morning. - Morning. 780 - You folks looking for work? - We're looking even under boards for work. 781 - Can you pick peaches? - We can pick anything. 782 There's plenty of work about 40 miles up here, this side of Pixley. 783 You turn east on 32, look for the Keene ranch. Tell them Spencer sent you. 784 - Mister, we sure thank you. - Thank you. 785 Come on, Ma. 786 - What is it? A wreck? - Where do you think you're going? 787 Fella named Spencer sent us. Said there was work. 788 - Oh, you wanna work, huh? - Sure do. 789 All right. Just pull up in line there. 790 - OK for this one. Take 'em through. - What's the matter? What happened? 791 Oh, a little trouble up there, but you'll get through all right. 792 Go ahead. 793 What do you think it is? A washout? 794 I don't know what these cops have got to do with it, but I don't like it. 795 These are our own people too. All of them. I don't like this. 796 Get going. Stay in line. 797 Go ahead. 798 What are you gonna do, scab? 799 Go on. Hurry up. 800 Come on, come on, come on.
