- When'll you be back, Roy?
- Oh, in a couple of weeks.
2
Don't do nothing
you wouldn't want me to hear about.
3
- Well, so long.
- So long.
4
How about a lift, mister?
5
- Can't you see that sticker?
- Sure, I see it.
6
But a good guy don't pay no attention to
what some heel makes him stick on his truck.
7
Well, scrunch1 down on the running board
till we get around the bend.
8
- Going far?
- No, just a couple of miles.
9
I'd have walked her
if my dogs wasn't pooped out.
10
- Looking for ajob?
- No. My old man's got a place.
11
40 acres. He's a sharecropper,
but we've been there a long while.
12
Oh.
13
- Been doing ajob?
- Yeah.
14
I seen your hands.
You been swinging a pick or a sledge2.
15
That's what makes them shiny.
I notice things like that all the time.
16
Got a trade?
17
- Why don't you get at it, buddy3?
- Get at what?
18
You know. You been goin' over me since
I got in. Why don't you ask where I've been?
19
I don't stick my nose in nobody's business.
I stay in my own yard.
20
That big nose of yours been goin' over me
like a sheep in a vegetable patch.
21
I ain't keepin' it secret. I've been
in the penitentiary4. Been there four years.
22
- Anything else?
- You ain't gotta get sore.
23
- Ask me anything.
- I didn't mean nothing.
24
Me neither. I'm just trying to get along
without shovin' anybody, that's all.
25
See that road ahead? That's where I get out.
26
You're about to bust5 a gut6 to know what I
done, ain't you? I ain't a guy to let you down.
27
Homicide.
28
Hmm, He's my saviour7
29
Hmm, my saviour
30
Hmm, my saviour now
31
- Howdy, friend.
- Howdy.
32
Say...
33
Ain't you young Tom Joad, old Tom's boy?
34
Yeah. I'm on my way home now.
35
Well, I do declare.
36
I baptised you, son.
37
Ain't you the preacher?
38
Used to be.
39
Not no more.
40
I lost the call.
41
But, boy, I sure used to have it.
42
I used to get an irrigation ditch
so full of repented8 sinners
43
I'd pretty near drown half of 'em.
44
But not no more.
45
I lost the spirit.
46
I got nothing to preach about
no more, that's all.
47
I ain't so sure of things.
48
I remember you preaching a sermon
49
walking around on your hands,
shoutin' your head off.
50
Yeah, I remember.
