:23:00
I sure would like that.
Yes, sir, I sure would like that.
:23:26
Oh, thank God. Thank God.
:23:29
Tommy.
:23:36
Ma.
:23:43
- You didn't bust out? You ain't gotta hide?
- No, Ma. I'm paroled. I got my papers.
:23:50
Oh.
:23:51
I was just scared we was going away without
you and we'd never see each other again.
:23:58
I'd have found you, Ma.
:24:04
Muley told me what happened.
:24:06
We going to California true?
:24:08
We've gotta go, Tommy,
but it's gonna be all right.
:24:11
I seen the handbills about how much
work there is, and high wages too.
:24:17
There's something I gotta find out first,
Tommy. Did they hurt you, son?
:24:22
- Did they hurt you and make you mean mad?
- Mad, Ma?
:24:26
- Sometimes they do.
- No, Ma. I was at first, but not no more.
:24:30
Sometimes they do something to you.
:24:32
They hurt you and you get mad
and then you get mean.
:24:35
And they hurt you again
and you get meaner and meaner,
:24:38
till you ain't no boy nor man any more,
just a walking chunk of mean mad.
:24:43
- Did they hurt you that way, son?
- No, Ma. Don't worry about that.
:24:48
Well, I...
:24:49
I don't want no mean son.
:24:52
It's Tommy. It's Tommy back.
:24:54
What did you do, son? Bust out?
:24:57
(children chant) Tommy's out ofjail!
:24:59
I... I knowed it! You couldn't keep him in.
You can't keep a Joad in jail.
