I had as nice a little store as you ever saw.
:41:06
I sure did hate to give it up.
:41:09
Well, you can't tell.
:41:11
I figure when we get out there
and get work,

:41:14
maybe get us a piece of growing land
near water, it might not be so bad at that.

:41:19
That's right. Paying good wages, I hear.
:41:21
- We can all get work.
- Can't be no worse than home.

:41:25
You all must have a pot of money.
:41:27
No, we ain't got no money, but there's
plenty of us to work and we're all good men.

:41:32
Get good wages out there and put it
all together and we'll be all right.

:41:37
Good wages, eh?
Picking oranges and peaches?

:41:40
- Well, we aim to take whatever they got.
- What's so funny about that?

:41:44
What's so funny about it?
I've just been out there.

:41:47
I've been and seen it.
I'm going back and starve

:41:51
because I'd rather starve all over at once.
:41:54
What do you think you're talking about? I got
a handbill says they're paying good wages.

:41:59
I seen in the papers they need pickers.
:42:01
All right, go on. Nobody's stopping you.
:42:04
- Yeah, but what about this?
- I ain't gonna rile you. Go on.

:42:08
Wait a minute, buddy. You just done
some jackassin'. You can't shut up now.

:42:13
It says they need 800 pickers. You laugh
and say they don't. Which one's the liar?

:42:17
- How many of you all got them handbills?
- I got one.

:42:20
- I got one.
- We all got one.

:42:23
- What does that prove?
- There you are. Same yellow handbill.

:42:29
800 pickers wanted.
:42:31
All right, the man wants 800 men.
So he prints 5,000 handbills

:42:35
and maybe 20,000 people see 'em.
:42:38
And maybe two or 3,000 people start west
on account of that handbill.

:42:42
Two or 3,000 people that are crazy with worry
:42:45
heading out for 800 jobs.
Now, does that make sense?

:42:49
Say, what are you, a troublemaker?
You sure you ain't one of them labour fakes?

:42:53
I... I swear I ain't, mister.
:42:55
Don't you go around here
trying to stir up any trouble.
