1:23:37
- Evening.
- Who are you?
1:23:39
- Just going past.
- Know anybody around here?
1:23:42
No. Just going past, I tell you.
1:23:47
- Casy!
- Well, if it ain't Tom Joad. Hiya, boy.
1:23:52
- I thought you was in jail.
- No. They just run me out of town.
1:23:55
Come on in. Tom Joad.
1:24:00
- This the fella you been talking about?
- That's him. What are you doing?
1:24:04
Working, picking peaches.
1:24:06
I heard fellas shouting when we come in.
I came to find out what's going on.
1:24:10
- What's it about?
- This here's a strike.
1:24:13
Five cents a box ain't much,
but a fella can eat.
1:24:16
- Five cents? They paying you five cents?
- Sure. We made a buck since midday.
1:24:20
Looky, Tom. We come here to work.
1:24:24
They tell us it's gonna be five cents,
but there's a whole lot of us.
1:24:27
So the man says two and a half cents.
1:24:31
A fella can't even eat on that
and if he's got kids...
1:24:35
So we says we won't take it.
1:24:37
So they drive us off.
Now they're paying you five cents.
1:24:40
If they bust this strike,
you think they'll pay five?
1:24:43
Dunno. Paying five now.
1:24:45
They'll get two and a half cents
just the minute we're gone.
1:24:48
You know what that is.
1:24:50
One ton of peaches,
picked and carried for a dollar.
1:24:54
That way you can't even
buy enough food to keep you alive.
1:24:58
Tell 'em to come out with us, Tom.
Them peaches is ripe.
