Storyboard Text
- The Joad family stops for the night at a Hooverville after reporting Granma's death at the coroner's office in Bakersfield, CA.
- 66
- Tom, this here's Floyd Knowles.
- Maybe I shouldn't, but-- yeah, I'll tell ya. Fella come through an' he says they's gonna be work up north.
- Up north?
- Floyd continues...
- As they speak, the "MAN" arrives with the law, as a crowd of gawking squatters gather...
- 66
- Praise the Lord!
- Yeah--place called Santa Clara Valley, way to hell an' gone up north. Maybe 200 miles, I reckon!
- Yeah? Kinda work?
- Prune pickin', an' pears an' cannery work. Says it's purdy near ready.
- 66
- 200 miles, you say? That's a helluva long ways!
- Al's game, Tom ponders...
- How we know they's gonna be work when we get there?
- 66
- Well, we don' know. But they ain't nothin' here, an' this fella says he got a letter from his brother, an' he's on his way. He says not to tell NOOOBODY, they'll be too many. If we's goin', oughta get out in the night. Oughta get there an' get some work lined up.
- Seem like good folk, but they sure are OKIES!
- Why we gotta sneak away?
- You doin' the hirin'?
- Well, I'm contractin' the land.
- You men wanna work?
- Sure we wanna work. Where's at's work?
- You tellin' me how to run my own business?
- Floyd is keen to the Bossman's tomfoolery and challenges him at his word, the REAL work is up north, he hopes...
- Jus' show your license, give us an order to go to work, where, when, how much we'll get, sign that an' we'll all go.
- Uh, huh... All work and no pay!
- I told you I need men. Them's fightin' words! Besides, I got the law.
