2:01:02
Maybe. Maybe 20 days' work
and maybe no days' work.
2:01:07
- We ain't got it till we get it.
- What's the matter, Ma? Getting scared?
2:01:10
Scared. Huh!
2:01:12
I ain't never gonna be scared no more.
2:01:15
I was though. For a while it looked
as though we was beat. Good and beat.
2:01:21
Looked like we didn't have nobody
in the world but enemies.
2:01:24
Like nobody was friendly no more.
2:01:27
Made me feel kind of bad and scared too.
2:01:30
Like we was lost and nobody cared.
2:01:35
You're the one that keeps us going, Ma.
2:01:38
I ain't no good no more and I know it.
2:01:41
Seems like I spend all my time these days
thinking how it used to be.
2:01:46
Thinking of home.
2:01:48
I ain't never gonna see it no more.
2:01:51
Well, Pa, a woman can change
better than a man.
2:01:55
A man lives sort of, well, in jerks.
2:02:00
Baby's born or somebody dies,
and that's ajerk.
2:02:02
He gets a farm or loses it, and that's ajerk.
2:02:06
With a woman it's all in one flow
like a stream.
2:02:10
Little eddies and waterfalls,
but the river, it goes right on.
2:02:16
A woman looks at it that way.
2:02:20
- Well, maybe, but we're sure taking a beating.
- I know.
2:02:26
That's what makes us tough.
2:02:28
Rich fellas come up, and they die,
and their kids ain't no good and they die out.
2:02:33
But we keep coming.
We're the people that live.
2:02:37
They can't wipe us out. They can't lick us.
2:02:40
We'll go on forever, Pa, cos we're the people.
