1
00:03:30,366 --> 00:03:32,399
Come on!

2
00:04:04,692 --> 00:04:06,725
Come on. Keep moving.

3
00:04:37,308 --> 00:04:39,341
Come on.

4
00:04:53,282 --> 00:04:55,315
Keep looking.

5
00:05:04,668 --> 00:05:07,067
Attaboy. Attaboy, sniff it out.

6
00:05:26,065 --> 00:05:28,432
Pick it up, boy. Pick it up.

7
00:05:38,452 --> 00:05:40,986
Come on. Come on.

8
00:05:49,588 --> 00:05:50,746
Lennie.

9
00:05:59,056 --> 00:06:01,089
Get down.

10
00:06:23,831 --> 00:06:25,864
Hurry up.

11
00:06:27,543 --> 00:06:29,576
Get up there.

12
00:07:05,831 --> 00:07:08,282
- George?
- What d'you want?

13
00:07:08,417 --> 00:07:10,951
Where are we going?

14
00:07:11,087 --> 00:07:13,120
To get away from here.

15
00:07:15,341 --> 00:07:17,624
l'm all wet.

16
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,429
Come on, let's take off your coat.
Come on.

17
00:07:21,931 --> 00:07:23,964
Come on.

18
00:07:26,936 --> 00:07:28,969
Just lay down and get some rest.

19
00:07:43,953 --> 00:07:45,903
George?

20
00:07:46,038 --> 00:07:48,030
Go to sleep, Lennie.

21
00:07:48,165 --> 00:07:50,199
l'm sleeping, George.

22
00:08:24,368 --> 00:08:28,487
- George, where are we going?
- We're going to a ranch to work.

23
00:09:14,794 --> 00:09:16,994
Come on. You get off here.

24
00:09:18,422 --> 00:09:20,873
George, wake up.

25
00:09:21,092 --> 00:09:23,490
You're in Soledad.

26
00:09:23,636 --> 00:09:25,711
We're going to the Tyler ranch.

27
00:09:25,846 --> 00:09:29,047
You gotta get off here.
The ranch is down the road.

28
00:09:29,183 --> 00:09:32,718
- How far?
- Just down the road a stretch.

29
00:09:36,023 --> 00:09:38,724
- Where the hell is it?
- George?

30
00:09:38,859 --> 00:09:40,768
- Yeah?
- Where are we going?

31
00:09:40,903 --> 00:09:42,936
Jesus Christ, you're a crazy bastard.

32
00:09:43,072 --> 00:09:45,470
l forgot, George.
l tried not to, then l forgot.

33
00:09:45,616 --> 00:09:48,901
l spend all my time telling you things,
then you forget 'em.

34
00:09:49,036 --> 00:09:51,069
l remember about the rabbits.

35
00:09:51,247 --> 00:09:54,865
The hell with them rabbits.
That's all you can remember.

36
00:09:55,418 --> 00:09:59,453
OK, listen. This time don't forget.
We went into Murray and Ready's.

37
00:09:59,588 --> 00:10:04,124
- They give us work cards and bus tickets.
- George, l remember that now.

38
00:10:06,095 --> 00:10:08,837
But George, l ain't got mine.
l must've lost it.

39
00:10:08,973 --> 00:10:12,716
l got both of 'em. You think l'd let you
carry your own work card?

40
00:10:12,852 --> 00:10:15,333
l thought l had it in my own pocket.

41
00:10:15,479 --> 00:10:17,763
What did you take out of that pocket?

42
00:10:19,316 --> 00:10:21,558
There's nothing in the pocket, George.

43
00:10:22,028 --> 00:10:26,188
l know it ain't. You got it in your hand.
Now, what you got in your hand?

44
00:10:26,323 --> 00:10:28,805
George, that's just my mouse.

45
00:10:28,951 --> 00:10:32,319
But l didn't kill it, George.
Honest, l found it dead.

46
00:10:32,455 --> 00:10:33,643
Oh, jeez.

47
00:10:33,789 --> 00:10:36,073
- Give it here.
- George, leave me have it.

48
00:10:36,208 --> 00:10:39,451
Give it here. What do you want
with a dead mouse anyway?

49
00:10:39,795 --> 00:10:43,486
l was just petting it with the fingers
while we was walking along.

50
00:10:43,716 --> 00:10:47,490
Yeah, well, you ain't petting no mice
when you walk with me.

51
00:10:47,636 --> 00:10:51,328
You gonna give me that mouse,
or am l gonna have to sock you?

52
00:10:52,475 --> 00:10:54,508
Come on.

53
00:11:11,535 --> 00:11:14,205
Blubbering like a baby, a big guy like you!

54
00:11:17,708 --> 00:11:20,534
Lennie, l ain't taking it
away for meanness.

55
00:11:23,339 --> 00:11:25,372
That mouse ain't fresh, Lennie.

56
00:11:32,515 --> 00:11:35,340
Get another mouse that's fresh,
l'll let you keep him.

57
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:39,251
l don't know where
there is no other mouse.

58
00:11:43,818 --> 00:11:49,438
The lady used to give me some,
but that lady ain't here no more.

59
00:11:49,573 --> 00:11:52,024
Lady?

60
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:54,829
Don't you even remember
who that lady was?

61
00:11:56,205 --> 00:11:59,031
That's your Aunt Clara.
She stopped giving 'em to you.

62
00:11:59,166 --> 00:12:02,451
You was always killing 'em
by petting 'em too hard.

63
00:12:06,507 --> 00:12:08,540
l'll tell you what l'll do.

64
00:12:09,593 --> 00:12:12,075
First chance l get, l'll get you a puppy.

65
00:12:14,348 --> 00:12:16,381
Huh? That'd be better than mice.

66
00:12:17,601 --> 00:12:19,635
You could pet 'em harder.

67
00:12:22,940 --> 00:12:24,973
OK?

68
00:12:25,651 --> 00:12:26,975
Huh?

69
00:12:29,905 --> 00:12:31,605
Hey.

70
00:12:31,741 --> 00:12:33,941
Hey! Hey!

71
00:12:38,164 --> 00:12:39,780
Son of a bitch!

72
00:12:39,915 --> 00:12:41,949
What did you say, George?

73
00:12:43,586 --> 00:12:45,619
l said ''son of a bitch''.

74
00:12:46,922 --> 00:12:51,375
The bus driver lied to us. Just too
damn lazy to stop at the ranch gate.

75
00:12:52,928 --> 00:12:56,255
<i>- Son of a bitch!
- </i> Son of a bitch!

76
00:12:58,601 --> 00:13:00,968
Jesus Christ, George, l said it too.

77
00:13:01,812 --> 00:13:06,431
- Yeah, l heard you.
- George, we wasn't supposed to say that.

78
00:13:06,567 --> 00:13:08,517
Yeah, why not?

79
00:13:08,652 --> 00:13:10,978
Aunt Clara don't like it.

80
00:13:11,113 --> 00:13:13,147
Yeah, well, she's dead.

81
00:13:27,088 --> 00:13:29,121
Lennie.

82
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,915
Don't drink so much.

83
00:13:33,594 --> 00:13:35,711
Hey.

84
00:13:35,846 --> 00:13:40,007
That's good, George. You have a drink.
You have a good, big drink.

85
00:13:57,993 --> 00:14:00,663
lt's nice here.

86
00:14:00,788 --> 00:14:04,823
l think we'll just spend the night
and go to the ranch tomorrow.

87
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:09,620
Ain't we gonna get no supper?

88
00:14:09,755 --> 00:14:13,791
Yeah, sure we are.
l got three cans of beans in my bindle.

89
00:14:16,595 --> 00:14:18,629
l like beans with ketchup.

90
00:14:21,851 --> 00:14:24,051
l like beans with ketchup.

91
00:14:24,186 --> 00:14:26,220
We ain't got any.

92
00:14:27,732 --> 00:14:30,641
Go on. Go get some wood
so we can build a fire.

93
00:14:35,322 --> 00:14:39,608
- We got enough beans here for four men.
- l like 'em with ketchup.

94
00:14:41,162 --> 00:14:43,195
We ain't got any.

95
00:14:47,043 --> 00:14:48,867
Goddamnit!

96
00:14:54,508 --> 00:14:57,835
Whatever we ain't got,
that's what you want.

97
00:15:00,806 --> 00:15:02,381
George?

98
00:15:03,059 --> 00:15:04,716
George?

99
00:15:06,479 --> 00:15:09,555
- What d'you want?
- George, l was only fooling.

100
00:15:09,690 --> 00:15:12,391
l don't... l don't want no ketchup.

101
00:15:13,903 --> 00:15:15,936
lf it was here, you could have some.

102
00:15:16,697 --> 00:15:19,606
George, l wouldn't eat no ketchup.

103
00:15:19,742 --> 00:15:24,778
l'd leave it all for you
and you could cover your beans with it.

104
00:15:24,914 --> 00:15:26,947
l wouldn't touch none of it.

105
00:15:27,333 --> 00:15:32,035
When l think of the swell time
l could have without you, phew, l go nuts.

106
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,913
l never get any peace.

107
00:15:38,302 --> 00:15:40,502
lf l was alone, l could live so easy.

108
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,340
l could get a job and work and no trouble.

109
00:15:47,478 --> 00:15:50,721
And when the end of the month come,
l could take my 50 bucks,

110
00:15:50,856 --> 00:15:54,308
l could go into town,
l could get whatever l want.

111
00:15:54,443 --> 00:15:56,727
l could stay in a cathouse all night.

112
00:15:59,824 --> 00:16:02,305
What do l got?

113
00:16:02,451 --> 00:16:04,109
l got you.

114
00:16:04,245 --> 00:16:07,613
You can't keep a job.
Lose me every job l get.

115
00:16:08,916 --> 00:16:12,451
Keep me shovin' all over
the country, all the time.

116
00:16:13,921 --> 00:16:15,954
That ain't the worst.

117
00:16:16,257 --> 00:16:20,793
You get in trouble. You do bad things
and l got to get you out all the time!

118
00:16:22,596 --> 00:16:26,173
Crazy son of a bitch, you keep me
in hot water all the time.

119
00:16:33,607 --> 00:16:38,143
George, you... you want l should
go away and leave you alone?

120
00:16:40,656 --> 00:16:42,689
Where the hell would you go?

121
00:16:49,498 --> 00:16:51,532
l could go...

122
00:16:53,419 --> 00:16:56,495
l could go off in them hills there
and find a cave.

123
00:16:57,006 --> 00:16:59,623
Yeah? How'd you eat?

124
00:17:02,178 --> 00:17:04,711
You ain't got sense enough
to find nothin' to eat.

125
00:17:04,847 --> 00:17:09,550
l find things. l don't need
this nice food with ketchup.

126
00:17:11,437 --> 00:17:15,514
George, if you don't want me,
l go off in them hills and get a cave.

127
00:17:17,902 --> 00:17:20,853
And l wouldn't get no mice
stole off me either.

128
00:17:28,621 --> 00:17:33,532
Jesus Christ, your Aunt Clara wouldn't
like you running off by yourself.

129
00:17:37,797 --> 00:17:39,830
Hey!

130
00:17:41,592 --> 00:17:45,252
Well, go get some wood
so we can build a fire afore it gets dark.

131
00:18:03,698 --> 00:18:05,230
- George?
- What?

132
00:18:05,366 --> 00:18:07,649
Tell me like you done before.

133
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,778
- Tell you what?
- About the...

134
00:18:12,623 --> 00:18:14,448
- About the rabbits.
- Not tonight.

135
00:18:14,583 --> 00:18:18,702
Come on, George. Tell like you done
before. Please? Please? Please?

136
00:18:18,838 --> 00:18:21,121
You get a kick out of that, don't you?

137
00:18:23,134 --> 00:18:25,083
OK.

138
00:18:25,219 --> 00:18:27,252
l will.

139
00:18:28,806 --> 00:18:34,176
Guys like us that work on ranches
are the loneliest guys in the world.

140
00:18:36,105 --> 00:18:39,556
They ain't go no family
and they don't belong no place.

141
00:18:41,235 --> 00:18:45,562
- They got nothin' to look ahead to.
- But not us, George. Tell about us now.

142
00:18:45,698 --> 00:18:48,023
Well, we ain't like that.
We got a future.

143
00:18:48,159 --> 00:18:51,933
We got somebody to talk to
that gives a damn about us.

144
00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:55,854
lf them other guys gets in jail,
they can rot for all anybody cares.

145
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,908
But not us, George, because l...

146
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:02,412
See, l got you to look after me,
but you got me to look after.

147
00:19:02,548 --> 00:19:04,998
But, George, tell about how it's gonna be.

148
00:19:05,134 --> 00:19:06,239
OK.

149
00:19:06,385 --> 00:19:08,418
Someday...

150
00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:13,090
we're gonna have us
a little house and a couple of acres,

151
00:19:14,685 --> 00:19:17,803
- and a cow and a pig and chickens.
- Pig and chic...

152
00:19:17,938 --> 00:19:20,889
We gonna live off the fat of the land,
and have rabbits.

153
00:19:21,025 --> 00:19:22,599
And have rabbits.

154
00:19:22,735 --> 00:19:25,894
- George, tell what we got in the garden.
- OK.

155
00:19:26,030 --> 00:19:32,067
Then tell about the rabbits in winter,
and about the stove and, uh...

156
00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:38,198
- how thick the cream was on the milk.
- Yeah.

157
00:19:39,585 --> 00:19:42,578
- Go ahead, tell it.
- Why don't you do it? You know all of it.

158
00:19:42,713 --> 00:19:46,457
George, no! George, no,
it's not the same when l tell it.

159
00:19:46,592 --> 00:19:48,333
That's not the same.

160
00:19:48,469 --> 00:19:52,838
Tell, um, what...
how l get to tend the rabbits.

161
00:19:54,350 --> 00:19:59,261
We're gonna have a big vegetable patch
and we're gonna have a rabbit hutch.

162
00:19:59,397 --> 00:20:03,932
- And down in the flat, we'll have a...
- . . little field of alfalfa for the rabbits.

163
00:20:04,068 --> 00:20:07,978
- And l get to tend the rabbits.
- Yeah, you get to tend the rabbits.

164
00:20:08,114 --> 00:20:10,147
When it rains in the winter,

165
00:20:12,201 --> 00:20:14,683
we'll just say
''The hell with going to work, ''

166
00:20:14,829 --> 00:20:18,947
and we'll just build a fire in the stove,
and we'll just sit there

167
00:20:19,083 --> 00:20:21,116
and we'll listen to the rain.

168
00:20:44,817 --> 00:20:47,267
Lennie, l want you to look around here.

169
00:20:48,863 --> 00:20:52,314
lf you get in any trouble,
l want you to come right here.

170
00:20:53,784 --> 00:20:56,693
- You hide over here in the brush.
- Hide in the brush.

171
00:20:56,829 --> 00:21:01,532
You hide in the brush until l come
for you. Can you remember that?

172
00:21:01,667 --> 00:21:04,952
Sure l can, George.
Hide in the brush till you come for me.

173
00:21:05,087 --> 00:21:08,539
lf you do get in trouble,
l ain't gonna let you tend the rabbits.

174
00:21:08,674 --> 00:21:12,167
l'm not gonna get into any trouble.

175
00:21:13,262 --> 00:21:15,295
OK.

176
00:21:17,099 --> 00:21:19,466
l can remember, by God.

177
00:21:20,227 --> 00:21:22,511
Let's get some rest.

178
00:21:29,779 --> 00:21:31,895
lt'll be nice sleeping here,

179
00:21:33,574 --> 00:21:35,899
just looking up at the leaves.

180
00:21:49,882 --> 00:21:51,071
George?

181
00:21:55,096 --> 00:21:56,920
What do you want?

182
00:21:57,848 --> 00:22:02,468
l... l think we should get
them different colour rabbits.

183
00:22:03,771 --> 00:22:05,804
Sure.

184
00:22:06,982 --> 00:22:09,600
Red rabbits and blue rabbits
and green rabbits.

185
00:22:42,852 --> 00:22:46,595
- Leave 'em alone.
- Be quiet, dogs. Be quiet, goddamnit.

186
00:22:47,898 --> 00:22:50,057
Be quiet!

187
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,685
Shut up, Smiley! Shut up.
Smiley, down.

188
00:22:56,699 --> 00:23:00,150
- You fellas looking for something?
- Yeah. We come here to work.

189
00:23:00,286 --> 00:23:03,153
- Where's the boss?
- He's up at the ranch house.

190
00:23:03,289 --> 00:23:06,114
l'm Candy. Come on,
l'll take you up there.

191
00:23:06,584 --> 00:23:08,575
He was expecting you last night.

192
00:23:08,711 --> 00:23:11,870
He was sore as hell that
you wasn't here to go out this morning.

193
00:23:12,006 --> 00:23:14,039
He come in
when we was having breakfast.

194
00:23:14,175 --> 00:23:16,844
He said ''Goddamnit,
where the hell is them new men?''

195
00:23:16,969 --> 00:23:20,911
And he gives the stable buck hell too.
You see, the stable buck's a nigger.

196
00:23:21,057 --> 00:23:24,508
Ah! There he goes.

197
00:23:24,643 --> 00:23:27,970
He got a crooked back
where a horse kicked him one day.

198
00:23:28,105 --> 00:23:31,181
The boss gives him hell
every time he gets mad.

199
00:23:31,317 --> 00:23:33,851
<i>But the stable buck... </i>

200
00:23:33,986 --> 00:23:37,187
The stable buck
don't give a damn about that.

201
00:23:37,323 --> 00:23:39,398
Boss's office in here.

202
00:23:48,167 --> 00:23:49,867
Come in.

203
00:23:53,798 --> 00:23:55,831
These guys just came.

204
00:24:14,402 --> 00:24:18,729
l wrote Murray and Ready...
for two men to work this morning.

205
00:24:20,116 --> 00:24:22,483
Where's your work slips?

206
00:24:26,372 --> 00:24:28,405
ls my slip in there?

207
00:24:31,168 --> 00:24:33,202
lt wasn't Murray and Ready's fault.

208
00:24:33,337 --> 00:24:37,195
Says right here you were supposed
to be ready to work this morning.

209
00:24:37,341 --> 00:24:40,334
Bus driver lied to us.
We had to walk ten miles.

210
00:24:41,762 --> 00:24:44,379
l don't give a damn about that.

211
00:24:44,515 --> 00:24:47,674
- What's your name?
- George Milton.

212
00:24:47,935 --> 00:24:50,219
- What's yours?
- His name's Lennie Small.

213
00:24:50,479 --> 00:24:53,555
- Where you boys been working?
- Up around Weed.

214
00:24:53,733 --> 00:24:55,766
- What about you?
- Yeah, him too.

215
00:24:58,487 --> 00:25:00,437
He's not much of a talker, is he?

216
00:25:01,866 --> 00:25:07,319
No, no, he ain't. But he's a hell
of a good worker. He's strong as a bull.

217
00:25:07,455 --> 00:25:09,488
Strong as a bull?

218
00:25:14,295 --> 00:25:17,704
Uh, he can do anything
you tell him. He's a. .

219
00:25:19,508 --> 00:25:23,919
He's a good skinner. He can wrestle
grain bags, drive a cultivator.

220
00:25:24,055 --> 00:25:26,839
Cultivator. Ah, but...

221
00:25:27,641 --> 00:25:29,716
l ain't sayin' he's bright - he ain't.

222
00:25:29,852 --> 00:25:34,388
But he's a... he's a damn good worker.

223
00:25:36,108 --> 00:25:39,351
Say... what you selling?

224
00:25:41,405 --> 00:25:43,438
What's your stake in this guy?

225
00:25:45,076 --> 00:25:47,109
Are you taking his pay from him?

226
00:25:48,329 --> 00:25:50,362
Hell, no.

227
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:58,370
He's my cousin.
l told his old lady l'd take care of him.

228
00:25:58,506 --> 00:26:01,707
He got kicked in the head
by a horse when he was a kid.

229
00:26:05,513 --> 00:26:06,670
All right.

230
00:26:08,766 --> 00:26:11,967
But you'd better not try
to put anything over on me.

231
00:26:14,855 --> 00:26:17,420
Now catch your grain teams after dinner.

232
00:26:20,069 --> 00:26:23,520
Well, l wasn't kicked in the head
with no horse, George.

233
00:26:23,656 --> 00:26:27,316
Be a damn good thing if you was.
Save everybody a hell of a lot of trouble.

234
00:26:27,451 --> 00:26:29,818
You... you said l was your cousin.

235
00:26:29,954 --> 00:26:34,198
Well, that was a lie. lf l was
a relative of yours, l'd shoot myself.

236
00:26:38,379 --> 00:26:41,205
Come on, l'll show you the bunkhouse.

237
00:26:42,675 --> 00:26:44,708
Come on. Come on, boy.

238
00:26:45,970 --> 00:26:49,661
Come on, come on.
You can take these two bunks right here.

239
00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:05,312
That's a hell of an old dog.

240
00:27:05,865 --> 00:27:07,815
Yeah.

241
00:27:07,950 --> 00:27:11,944
And he's getting older too.
l had him since he was a pup.

242
00:27:12,955 --> 00:27:16,156
God, he was a great sheepdog
when he was younger.

243
00:27:22,882 --> 00:27:25,833
Hey... what the hell is this?

244
00:27:26,385 --> 00:27:31,421
Says ''Positively kills lice,
roaches and other scourges''.

245
00:27:31,557 --> 00:27:34,039
What the hell kind of beds
are you giving us?

246
00:27:34,351 --> 00:27:37,511
Now, wait a minute there, young fella.
Wait a minute.

247
00:27:37,646 --> 00:27:40,013
Let me see what you're talking about.

248
00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:43,684
Oh, yeah, yeah. Now l remember.

249
00:27:43,819 --> 00:27:46,218
Last guy that had this bunk
was a blacksmith.

250
00:27:46,363 --> 00:27:49,439
He'd squirt this stuff around
even if there was no bugs.

251
00:27:49,575 --> 00:27:54,069
<i>He used to... he used to wash
his hands even after</i> he ate.

252
00:27:55,790 --> 00:27:58,407
Candy!

253
00:27:58,542 --> 00:28:02,619
- You seen my old man?
- Yeah, he's up at the house.

254
00:28:09,095 --> 00:28:12,754
- You the guys the old man's waiting for?
- Yeah, we just came in.

255
00:28:12,890 --> 00:28:16,633
- Let the big guy talk.
- Suppose he don't wanna talk?

256
00:28:16,769 --> 00:28:19,167
What the hell you gettin' into this for?

257
00:28:19,313 --> 00:28:21,638
We travel together.

258
00:28:21,774 --> 00:28:26,268
- Oh. Oh. So it's that way.
- Yeah, it's that way.

259
00:28:26,404 --> 00:28:29,229
And you won't let
the big guy talk, is that it?

260
00:28:34,036 --> 00:28:36,069
We just come in.

261
00:28:46,924 --> 00:28:50,459
Yeah, well, next time
you answer when you're spoken to.

262
00:29:04,817 --> 00:29:07,559
Say, what the hell... ?
Lennie didn't do nothing to him.

263
00:29:08,863 --> 00:29:13,232
That's the boss's son.
Curley's pretty handy with his fists.

264
00:29:13,367 --> 00:29:17,027
- Done a lot of fighting in the ring.
- What's he got against Lennie?

265
00:29:17,204 --> 00:29:19,238
Well, l'll tell you what.

266
00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:23,377
Curley's like a lot of little guys.

267
00:29:23,502 --> 00:29:27,538
Hates big guys. Kinda like
he's mad at 'em cos he ain't a big guy.

268
00:29:27,673 --> 00:29:31,531
Yeah, yeah. Well, he better
make no mistake about Lennie.

269
00:29:31,677 --> 00:29:36,672
Lennie ain't handy. This Curley's gonna
get hurt if he messes around with Lennie.

270
00:29:36,807 --> 00:29:38,173
Yeah, well.

271
00:29:38,309 --> 00:29:41,093
Hey, come here. l wanna show
you something. Come on.

272
00:29:41,937 --> 00:29:45,629
Come on, boy. Come here, come here.
l wanna show you something.

273
00:29:47,526 --> 00:29:50,394
- You see that glove on his left hand?
- Yeah.

274
00:29:50,529 --> 00:29:53,647
- Well, that glove's full of Vaseline.
- What the hell for?

275
00:29:53,783 --> 00:29:57,151
Curley says he's keeping
that hand soft for his wife.

276
00:29:58,287 --> 00:30:00,988
That's a real nice thing to tell around.

277
00:30:01,123 --> 00:30:03,157
Come on, boy. Come on.

278
00:30:04,585 --> 00:30:06,618
Lennie.

279
00:30:07,046 --> 00:30:09,997
- Look. See that guy?
- Yeah.

280
00:30:10,132 --> 00:30:12,614
- The one that was just in here?
- Yeah.

281
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,087
He figures he got you scared. He's gonna
take a sock at you first chance he gets.

282
00:30:17,223 --> 00:30:20,966
George, l don't want no trouble.
Don't let him sock at me.

283
00:30:21,102 --> 00:30:23,218
Just try to keep away from him, will ya?

284
00:30:23,354 --> 00:30:26,889
lf he comes in the bunkhouse again,
move to the other side of the room.

285
00:30:27,024 --> 00:30:30,767
George... George,
you ain't mad at me, are you?

286
00:30:32,571 --> 00:30:38,025
No, l ain't mad. Just try to keep away
from Curley. Don't let him pull you in.

287
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,861
Sure. George, l wasn't gonna say a word.

288
00:30:41,414 --> 00:30:44,698
You get in any trouble,
you remember what l told you.

289
00:30:44,834 --> 00:30:48,243
lf l get in any trouble,
l don't get to tend them rabbits.

290
00:30:49,422 --> 00:30:51,371
No, that's not what l mean.

291
00:30:51,507 --> 00:30:55,198
Remember where we slept
last night, down by the river?

292
00:30:59,348 --> 00:31:02,017
l'm looking for Curley.

293
00:31:02,143 --> 00:31:05,177
He was here a minute ago, but he went.

294
00:31:06,397 --> 00:31:08,430
Oh.

295
00:31:15,614 --> 00:31:17,648
Sometimes Curley's in here.

296
00:31:19,326 --> 00:31:21,360
He ain't now.

297
00:31:22,747 --> 00:31:26,657
Well, if he ain't,
l guess l better look someplace else.

298
00:31:27,626 --> 00:31:30,577
lf l see him, l'll tell him
you was lookin' for him.

299
00:31:33,340 --> 00:31:35,906
Nobody can't blame a person for looking.

300
00:31:42,016 --> 00:31:44,049
See ya around.

301
00:31:49,565 --> 00:31:51,807
- She's pretty.
- Lennie...

302
00:31:52,026 --> 00:31:56,562
- Don't you think she's pretty?
- Listen to me, goddamnit!

303
00:31:56,697 --> 00:31:58,730
- Don't you even look at her.
- But...

304
00:31:58,866 --> 00:32:01,817
l don't care what she says
or does, she's a rat-trap.

305
00:32:01,952 --> 00:32:04,403
But l wasn't doing nothing.

306
00:32:04,538 --> 00:32:09,825
When she was shoving her legs around,
you weren't looking the other way neither.

307
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,119
Keep away from her.

308
00:32:26,227 --> 00:32:28,260
l don't like this place.

309
00:33:00,094 --> 00:33:02,576
- You the new guys?
- Yeah.

310
00:33:02,722 --> 00:33:05,391
l'm Slim. You're gonna be on my team.

311
00:33:05,516 --> 00:33:08,425
l'm George Milton.
This here's Lennie Small.

312
00:33:09,854 --> 00:33:12,930
- You travel around together?
- Yeah.

313
00:33:13,065 --> 00:33:17,434
There ain't many guys travel
around together. l don't know why.

314
00:33:17,570 --> 00:33:20,979
Maybe everybody in the whole damn
world's scared of each other.

315
00:33:21,115 --> 00:33:22,856
Maybe.

316
00:33:22,992 --> 00:33:25,442
So, you ever bucked barley before?

317
00:33:25,578 --> 00:33:31,532
Hell, yes. l ain't nothin' to scream about,
but... Lennie's strong as a bull.

318
00:33:31,667 --> 00:33:33,408
Good.

319
00:33:33,544 --> 00:33:38,330
l got a pair of punks on my team, they
don't know a barley bag from a blue ball.

320
00:33:43,471 --> 00:33:46,140
These guys just came.

321
00:33:46,265 --> 00:33:50,040
l meant to ask you, Slim.
How many puppies your bitch have?

322
00:33:50,186 --> 00:33:53,470
Well, she slung eight of 'em.
l drowned four right off.

323
00:33:54,857 --> 00:33:57,599
She couldn't feed that many.
l just kept the biggest.

324
00:33:59,403 --> 00:34:02,980
Candy's dog is old and no good.

325
00:34:03,115 --> 00:34:08,068
You oughta get Candy to shoot that dog.
Then you could give him one of the pups.

326
00:34:11,957 --> 00:34:12,948
All right.

327
00:34:14,210 --> 00:34:17,161
George, ask that man,
can l have one of his pups?

328
00:34:17,296 --> 00:34:19,329
Yeah, l will. Don't worry.

329
00:34:23,302 --> 00:34:25,335
Come on, get up.

330
00:36:25,424 --> 00:36:27,708
You done real good today, Lennie.

331
00:36:27,843 --> 00:36:29,877
You done real good.

332
00:36:34,141 --> 00:36:36,175
OK, l'll ask him now.

333
00:36:37,895 --> 00:36:39,928
- Slim.
- Yeah?

334
00:36:57,665 --> 00:36:59,698
George, can l have this white one?

335
00:37:02,044 --> 00:37:04,077
Well, if that's the one you want.

336
00:37:06,549 --> 00:37:08,874
Can he stay here and hold it awhile?

337
00:37:09,009 --> 00:37:11,043
Sure.

338
00:37:20,604 --> 00:37:24,462
Lennie, you can't take
that pup out of here.

339
00:37:26,068 --> 00:37:30,062
- lt's too young to leave the mother.
- l ain't going to, George.

340
00:37:39,665 --> 00:37:41,824
Come on.

341
00:37:41,959 --> 00:37:44,441
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.

342
00:37:56,182 --> 00:37:58,632
That's it, take it easy.

343
00:38:13,449 --> 00:38:17,442
- You talking today?
- Nah, he ain't. He's too busy working.

344
00:38:17,578 --> 00:38:19,820
- ls he a good worker?
- Best l ever had.

345
00:38:19,955 --> 00:38:22,573
- What about his partner?
- What about him?

346
00:38:22,708 --> 00:38:25,450
ls he a good worker?
My old man wants to know.

347
00:38:26,462 --> 00:38:29,288
Yeah, he's a good worker.

348
00:38:32,468 --> 00:38:34,501
Ha! Giddap.

349
00:38:50,486 --> 00:38:52,936
Come on, Violet. Come on, girl.

350
00:38:53,614 --> 00:38:57,816
George, this mule has a sore foot.
Lead her back to the stable

351
00:38:57,952 --> 00:39:01,111

- Sure.

352
00:39:01,247 --> 00:39:03,728
- Go on, girl.
- Come on, girl. Come on.

353
00:39:03,874 --> 00:39:05,908
Go on, now.

354
00:39:07,128 --> 00:39:08,316
Jake!

355
00:39:09,255 --> 00:39:11,371
Come on, girl. Come on.

356
00:39:12,508 --> 00:39:14,541
Attagirl. Come on.

357
00:39:18,472 --> 00:39:20,506
Come on, now. Come on.

358
00:39:30,317 --> 00:39:33,310
Come on. Come on!

359
00:39:36,490 --> 00:39:38,524
Crooks!

360
00:39:41,912 --> 00:39:44,071
Can l help?

361
00:39:46,333 --> 00:39:48,367
No.

362
00:39:49,712 --> 00:39:53,121
l'm looking for Crooks.
This mule's got a hurt foot.

363
00:39:53,966 --> 00:39:56,291
He ain't here.

364
00:39:56,427 --> 00:39:58,825
Nobody's here but me.

365
00:39:58,971 --> 00:40:01,505
And now you.

366
00:40:07,313 --> 00:40:09,878
l feel so lazy today.

367
00:40:10,024 --> 00:40:12,391
You feel lazy?

368
00:40:13,778 --> 00:40:16,061
No.

369
00:40:21,952 --> 00:40:24,194
l could take a nap right here.

370
00:40:24,330 --> 00:40:27,239
lt's nice and cool here in the barn,
and quiet.

371
00:40:27,374 --> 00:40:30,576
Everybody out in the fields
working in the hot sun.

372
00:40:31,962 --> 00:40:33,954
Here we are in a cool barn.

373
00:40:38,052 --> 00:40:41,044
l got a hurt foot too.

374
00:40:41,180 --> 00:40:46,248
l got mad at Curley last night, kicked at
him and missed - kicked a chair instead.

375
00:40:52,316 --> 00:40:54,349
Let go of that old mule and talk to me.

376
00:41:04,620 --> 00:41:06,653
Are you from far away?

377
00:41:08,666 --> 00:41:10,699
Pretty far.

378
00:41:13,254 --> 00:41:15,287
How far is far away?

379
00:41:18,008 --> 00:41:20,125
What's the town you came from?

380
00:41:21,137 --> 00:41:23,170
You wouldn't know it if l told you.

381
00:41:26,350 --> 00:41:28,383
You got a sweetheart back there?

382
00:41:31,230 --> 00:41:32,638
No.

383
00:41:34,984 --> 00:41:36,934
Did you ever have a sweetheart?

384
00:41:39,989 --> 00:41:41,939
No.

385
00:41:43,075 --> 00:41:45,234
You never had a sweetheart?

386
00:41:49,331 --> 00:41:50,906
No.

387
00:41:52,752 --> 00:41:55,150
You're kidding me.

388
00:41:56,172 --> 00:42:00,582
A good-looking guy like you
must have had a million sweethearts.

389
00:42:04,138 --> 00:42:06,588
Your name's George, ain't it?

390
00:42:19,403 --> 00:42:23,438
- What the hell you doing out here?
- Nothing. Just trying to keep cool.

391
00:42:23,574 --> 00:42:25,858
- l ain't talking to you.
- Who you talking to?

392
00:42:25,993 --> 00:42:28,110
- l'm talking to him.
- His name's George.

393
00:42:28,245 --> 00:42:30,279
l know what his name is.

394
00:42:31,082 --> 00:42:33,282
What are you doin' out here?

395
00:42:33,417 --> 00:42:35,742
- Minding my own business.
- Yeah.

396
00:42:39,090 --> 00:42:41,373
The last guy l caught out in the barn,

397
00:42:41,509 --> 00:42:45,002
l beat the hell out of him
and kicked him off my ranch.

398
00:42:55,898 --> 00:42:59,141
- Get on back to the house.
- You don't own me, Curley.

399
00:42:59,276 --> 00:43:01,310
Shut up.

400
00:43:02,113 --> 00:43:04,146
Get back in the house.

401
00:43:40,985 --> 00:43:43,977
. . very high. About 10,000, 12,000 feet.

402
00:43:57,293 --> 00:43:59,243
How do you like your pup, Lennie?

403
00:43:59,378 --> 00:44:02,704
l like that puppy. lt's white, like l wanted.

404
00:44:04,925 --> 00:44:06,959
- Lennie.
- Yeah.

405
00:44:07,762 --> 00:44:11,922
- l told you not to bring that pup in here.
- George, l ain't got no pup in here.

406
00:44:12,057 --> 00:44:15,749
George, give... give... Give it to me!

407
00:44:15,895 --> 00:44:19,930
George, give it to me.
George, l didn't mean no harm.

408
00:44:20,066 --> 00:44:23,183
George, please,
l'll take it back to the barn.

409
00:44:23,319 --> 00:44:25,519
l just want to feel him a little bit.

410
00:44:26,322 --> 00:44:28,355
All right.

411
00:44:29,909 --> 00:44:31,942
Don't you take him out no more.

412
00:44:43,422 --> 00:44:45,820
Jesus.

413
00:44:45,966 --> 00:44:48,250
He's still just like a kid, ain't he?

414
00:45:12,827 --> 00:45:15,277
Either of you guys got a slug of whisky?

415
00:45:16,330 --> 00:45:19,781
- l got a gut ache.
- l ain't. l'd drink it myself if l had.

416
00:45:21,043 --> 00:45:23,076
l ain't got no gut ache.

417
00:45:26,340 --> 00:45:27,915
Come here.

418
00:45:29,218 --> 00:45:32,127
God Almighty,
that dog of yours stinks, Candy.

419
00:45:32,263 --> 00:45:35,589
He's got no teeth.
He's all stiff from rheumatism.

420
00:45:35,724 --> 00:45:39,092
He ain't no good to ya.
Hell, he ain't no good to hisself.

421
00:45:39,687 --> 00:45:41,970
Why don't you just shoot him, Candy?

422
00:45:43,774 --> 00:45:45,390
Well!

423
00:45:45,526 --> 00:45:47,851
l couldn't do that.

424
00:45:47,987 --> 00:45:50,385
l had him too long.

425
00:45:50,531 --> 00:45:53,065
l herded sheep with him.

426
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,870
That poor old dog
just suffers hisself all the time.

427
00:45:55,995 --> 00:45:58,612
No. No.

428
00:45:58,748 --> 00:46:00,781
Look.

429
00:46:03,919 --> 00:46:07,287
Take him out and shoot him
right in the back of the head.

430
00:46:07,423 --> 00:46:09,331
Right there.

431
00:46:09,467 --> 00:46:11,708
Hell, he'd never even know what hit him.

432
00:46:11,844 --> 00:46:13,669
Aw...

433
00:46:13,804 --> 00:46:16,004
l couldn't do that.

434
00:46:16,140 --> 00:46:18,538
l had him too long.

435
00:46:18,684 --> 00:46:21,927
l'll shoot him for ya.
Then it won't be you that done it.

436
00:46:22,062 --> 00:46:25,472
- No.
- Slim's bitch has got a litter right now.

437
00:46:25,608 --> 00:46:28,475
l'll bet you Slim would give you
one of her pups to raise.

438
00:46:28,611 --> 00:46:32,187
Sure. You can have
any one of them pups you want.

439
00:46:33,783 --> 00:46:35,649
No, no, no.

440
00:46:35,785 --> 00:46:37,693
Carlson's right, Candy.

441
00:46:37,828 --> 00:46:40,028
That dog ain't no good to hisself.

442
00:46:54,178 --> 00:46:56,503
Hey, Slim. Read this.

443
00:46:58,933 --> 00:47:03,844
''Dear Editor, l read your magazine
for six years. lt's the best in the market. ''

444
00:47:03,979 --> 00:47:06,013
''l like stories by Peter Rand. ''

445
00:47:07,233 --> 00:47:11,007
- What you want me to read that for?
- Go on. Read the name at the bottom.

446
00:47:11,153 --> 00:47:14,563
- ''Yours for success, William Tanner. ''
- You met Bill Tanner?

447
00:47:14,698 --> 00:47:17,232
Yeah. Bald-headed guy,
drove a cultivator.

448
00:47:17,368 --> 00:47:19,568
That's him.

449
00:47:19,703 --> 00:47:24,072
Candy, if you want me to, l'll put
that old dog out of his misery right now.

450
00:47:24,208 --> 00:47:26,241
Won't hurt him at all.

451
00:47:31,090 --> 00:47:35,209
- Let's wait till tomorrow.
- l don't see why. Let's get it over with.

452
00:47:35,344 --> 00:47:38,253
We can't sleep
with that stinking dog in here.

453
00:47:59,076 --> 00:48:01,109
All right.

454
00:48:02,580 --> 00:48:04,321
Take him.

455
00:48:05,875 --> 00:48:07,908
Come on, boy. Come on.

456
00:48:09,086 --> 00:48:10,953
He won't even feel it.

457
00:48:11,088 --> 00:48:13,205
Come on, boy. Come on.

458
00:48:21,307 --> 00:48:23,340
Carlson...

459
00:48:24,935 --> 00:48:28,303
- Get a shovel.
- Yeah.

460
00:48:50,586 --> 00:48:52,619
Candy.

461
00:48:53,380 --> 00:48:55,862
You can have any one
of them pups you want.

462
00:49:06,936 --> 00:49:10,345
Uh... Does anybody
wanna play a little rummy?

463
00:49:10,481 --> 00:49:11,722
Yeah.

464
00:49:31,752 --> 00:49:33,785
You deal.

465
00:51:30,138 --> 00:51:32,088
Hey, hey.

466
00:51:35,435 --> 00:51:37,468
Hey, hey.

467
00:51:48,740 --> 00:51:50,356
- Slim?
- Yeah.

468
00:51:50,491 --> 00:51:53,401
l can't keep up with that guy. lt'll kill me.

469
00:51:53,536 --> 00:51:54,558
All right.

470
00:51:54,704 --> 00:51:56,237
- Jack!
- Yeah.

471
00:51:56,372 --> 00:51:57,478
Take Mike's place.

472
00:51:57,624 --> 00:51:59,365
- Aw, Slim.
- Just for a while.

473
00:51:59,501 --> 00:52:01,534
Mike, you take Jack's place.

474
00:52:03,254 --> 00:52:05,288
You're on there.

475
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:13,879
So how long you and Lennie
been together, George?

476
00:52:14,015 --> 00:52:16,173
A long time. A real long time.

477
00:52:16,684 --> 00:52:20,928
Really? Seems kinda funny,
you two travelling around together.

478
00:52:21,898 --> 00:52:23,514
What's funny about it?

479
00:52:23,650 --> 00:52:27,268
Well, a cuckoo like him
and a smart guy like you.

480
00:52:27,403 --> 00:52:31,981
Well, l ain't so smart or l wouldn't be
bucking barley for my 50 bucks a month.

481
00:52:32,116 --> 00:52:33,733
l guess you're right.

482
00:52:38,873 --> 00:52:40,990
How'd you two meet up?

483
00:52:41,125 --> 00:52:43,159
Well, l knew his Aunt Clara.

484
00:52:44,504 --> 00:52:47,173
She took him when he was a boy.
She raised him up.

485
00:52:47,298 --> 00:52:50,124
When she died,
Lennie just come along with me working.

486
00:52:50,260 --> 00:52:51,626
Uh-huh.

487
00:52:53,513 --> 00:52:57,287
l used to play jokes on him cos he's
too damn dumb to take care of himself.

488
00:52:57,433 --> 00:53:00,134
He'd do any damn thing l told him.

489
00:53:02,146 --> 00:53:04,430
Put that on back in here.

490
00:53:04,566 --> 00:53:09,936
One day, a bunch of guys standing
around on the Sacramento River,

491
00:53:10,071 --> 00:53:12,980
l turns to him and
l says ''Jump in, Lennie. ''

492
00:53:13,241 --> 00:53:14,815
And he jumps.

493
00:53:15,243 --> 00:53:19,737
Couldn't swim a stroke. He damn near
drowned before we could get to him.

494
00:53:19,873 --> 00:53:24,575
He was so damn nice to me for pulling
him out, he forgot l told him to jump in.

495
00:53:26,379 --> 00:53:28,412
He's a nice fella.

496
00:53:31,384 --> 00:53:34,835
A guy don't need no sense
to be a nice fella.

497
00:53:35,889 --> 00:53:37,922
Yeah.

498
00:53:38,057 --> 00:53:41,467
He gets in trouble all the time
cos he's so goddamn dumb.

499
00:53:41,603 --> 00:53:44,428
Like what happened up north in Weed.

500
00:53:49,903 --> 00:53:52,061
What'd he do in Weed?

501
00:53:56,492 --> 00:53:58,526
He seen this girl,

502
00:53:59,579 --> 00:54:00,987
in a red dress,

503
00:54:01,122 --> 00:54:04,365
and the dumb bastard that he is, he just...

504
00:54:04,501 --> 00:54:09,568
He wants to touch everything he likes,
so he reaches out to touch this red dress.

505
00:54:11,299 --> 00:54:14,667
So the girl starts screaming,
and that gets Lennie all mixed up,

506
00:54:14,802 --> 00:54:17,920
so he holds on and he won't let go,

507
00:54:18,056 --> 00:54:20,798
cos that's the only thing
he can think to do.

508
00:54:22,268 --> 00:54:24,302
So what happened?

509
00:54:26,481 --> 00:54:29,181
Well, she runs off
across the field, screaming.

510
00:54:31,069 --> 00:54:33,853
So me and Lennie take off running.

511
00:54:33,988 --> 00:54:37,815
Pretty soon we hear a bunch of
guys with dogs coming after us.

512
00:54:40,411 --> 00:54:44,238
Had to hide in the irrigation ditch
until it was safe to get away.

513
00:54:45,875 --> 00:54:48,357
He didn't hurt the girl none?

514
00:54:50,338 --> 00:54:52,705
Hell, no. He just scared her.

515
00:54:55,343 --> 00:54:57,908
Well... he ain't mean.

516
00:54:59,389 --> 00:55:01,422
l can tell a mean guy a mile off.

517
00:55:02,684 --> 00:55:05,301
Milton!

518
00:55:05,562 --> 00:55:07,762
l ain't payin' you to stand around.

519
00:55:08,940 --> 00:55:12,308
- Get back to work.
- He just come over for a drink of water.

520
00:55:12,443 --> 00:55:16,979
You get back to work. You get
these men moving. They're way behind.

521
00:55:19,951 --> 00:55:22,620
You men get moving here. Let's go.
