301 This is Connie, my husband. 302 - Did you... - No, parole. 303 Well, if this don't beat all. I see I'm going to be an uncle soon. 304 Oh, you do not see. 305 - Look at her blush. Look at her blush. - Look at her blushing. 306 Hey, Joad! John Joad. 307 - You ain't forgot, have you? - We ain't forgot. 308 - We'll be coming through here tomorrow. - I know. 309 We be out. We be out by sun-up. 310 - How did you get all this money? - Sold things. Chopped cotton. Even Grandpa. 311 Got us about $200 all told. Shucked out 75 for this here truck. 312 Still got nearly 150 to set out on. I figure we ought to be able to make her on that. 313 Easy. After all, they ain't but about 12 of us, is they? 314 She'll probably ride like a bull calf, but she'll ride. 315 I reckon we better begin rousting them out if we aim to get out by daylight. 316 How about it, John? How you boys coming? 317 Ma. 318 I'm ready. 319 Rosasharn, honey. Wake up the children. We're fixing to leave. 320 Ruthie. Winfield. Jump up now. 321 - Where's Grandpa? Al, go get him. - I'm gonna get up front. Somebody help me. 322 Wait. 323 - Kids, you climb up on top first. - We're going to California! 324 Al's gonna drive, Ma. Sit with him and Grandma and we'll swap later. 325 Connie. Help Rosasharn up there alongside the kids. 326 - Where's Grandpa? - Grandpa! 327 Where he always is, probably. 328 Oh. 329 Grandpa! Grandpa! 330 Save him a place. John, you and Noah climb up and find a place. 331 Got to kind of keep her even all around. 332 - Think it'll hold? - If it does, it'll be a miracle out of Scripture. 333 Ma. Pa. 334 Let go of me, goldurn you! Dang you! 335 Please. There's something the matter with him. 336 - Why don't you stand still! - There's something wrong with him. 337 - You let me alone, that's all. - That's all what? 338 What's the matter, Grandpa? 339 What's the matter? There's nothing the matter. I just... 340 - I just ain't going, that's all. - What do you mean? We gotta go. 341 We got no place to stay. 342 I ain't talking about you. I'm talking about me. 343 I give her a good going over all last night and I'm staying. 344 But you can't do that, Grandpa. This here land's going under the tractor. 345 - We all got to get out. - All except me and I'm staying. 346 - What about Grandma? - Take her with you! 347 Who'd cook for you, Grandpa? How are you gonna live? 348 Muley's living, ain't he? And I'm twice the man that Muley is. 349 Now, listen to me, Grandpa. Listen to me just a minute. 350 And I ain't listening either. |
