You know, I've been hearing about
this thing called the Depressión.

:06:11
That's the word they got for this
empty feeling in the pit of my stomach.

:06:16
I don't know. Seems to me it's about
the same as it's always been.

:06:20
I always did have to bust my ass
to get work.

:06:22
Once I got it, I couldn't keep it.
:06:24
Me and the bosses
never did seem to get along.

:06:27
You can take it from Big Bill Shelly.
Look around you.

:06:30
Ain't nobody gonna protect us.
:06:33
Railroad took it away from us,
we gotta get it back.

:06:36
Organise. Unionise.
:06:38
You don't expect strikebreakers...
:06:39
...like McIver's there to look out
for you, do you?

:06:46
Well, there's been a lot
of pushing around here.

:06:49
I say it's time
we started pushing back.

:06:51
Let's hear it. We're gonna bust this
railroad. We're gonna get 'em, right?

:06:56
We're gonna live like men,
or we ain't gonna live at all.

:07:00
We're gonna take that Reader Railroad
and smash it. We ain't just playing.

:07:04
We're gonna take that bastard McIver and
his friends and grind 'em in the gravel.

:07:09
Bullshit.
:07:28
- How'd you get here, honey?
- Boxcar.

:07:32
Well, I'll be... Hey, you look kinda
hungry. Have you had any dinner?

:07:36
- I'm as full as can be.
- How about a little dessert?

:07:39
Just thank God
you came down amongst unión men.

:07:44
Most of these men been eating
wild greens since August.

:07:47
Violet tops. Weeds like cows eat.
:07:52
- I want something I ain't ever had.
- How you gonna get that?

:07:55
- Guts and luck.
- Huh. Luck.

:07:59
Hell, luck is being
a Vanderbilt or a Carnegie.
