951
They ain't nothing that keeps us clear.
952
Al, he's hankering and gibbeting
to be off on his own.
953
Uncle John's just dragging1 around.
954
Your pa's lost his place.
He ain't the head no more.
955
We're cracking2 up, Tom.
956
There ain't no family now.
957
And Rosasharn, she's gonna have her baby,
but it won't have no family.
958
I been trying to keep her going, but...
959
And Winfield.
960
What's he gonna be this way?
961
Growing up wild, and Ruthie too.
962
Just like animals.
963
Got nothing to trust.
964
Don't go, Tom.
965
Stay and help.
966
Help me.
967
OK, Ma. I shouldn't,
I know I shouldn't, but OK.
968
Ma, here come a lot of people.
969
How many?
- Ten of us.
970
House 25. The number's on the door.
971
- OK, mister3. What you paying?
- Two and a half cents.
972
Two and a half? Say, mister,
a man can't make his dinner on that.
973
Take it or leave it. There are 200 men coming
in from the South will be glad to get it.
974
- But how are we gonna eat?
- Look...
975
I didn't set the price. If you want it, OK.
If you don't, turn around and beat it.
976
- Which way to house 25?
- Straight up the street.
977
That Casy.
978
He might have been a preacher,
but he seen things clear.
979
He was like a lantern4.
980
He helped me to see things too.
981
Comes night, we'll get out of here.
982
Like a lantern.
983
I'll start the car.
- Yes.
984
All right, Tom.
985
Jump up. Jump up.
986
Just till we get distance.
Then you can come out.
987
I'd hate to get trapped5 in here.
988
Get in, Ma.
989
Hey! Where you going?
- We're going out.
990
- What for?
- We got ajob offered. A good job.
991
Yeah?
992
Well, let's take a look at you.
993
- Wasn't there another fella with you?
- You mean that hitchhiker?
994
- Little short fella with a pale face?
- I guess that's what he looked like.
995
We just picked him up on the way in.
996
- He left when the rate6 dropped.
- What did you say he looked like again?
997
Short fella. Pale face.
998
Was he bruised7 about the face this morning?
999
I didn't see nothing.
1000
OK, go on.
