All language subtitles for El pan nuestro de cada día 1934 (Our Daily Bread) VO 1934 King Vidor

Discouragement, fear, failure.

These taught the nation.

Depression haunted America.

This was a time of people jumping out of
windows and Wall Street, people living

in shacks. Most of the studios were
involved in drama pictures.

That was the feeling that...

Audiences wanted to look up to people
with great costumes, and it was

true. But I also felt I didn't want to
be a complete prostitute as far as

money in the studios was concerned. I
didn't feel just like being the good

company boy.

And I read a small article that said the
main hope was back to the land and

trade skills and not money.

The Relief Administration is building
rural communities.

where people may grow their own food in
place of the direct relief paid for by

the more fortunate.

That is a pretty light unloading job,
isn't it? But that's all the furniture

family had left after Dad was out of
work for a year.

Some of the men came on while the colony
was building and got the first crop

started. After four months of roughing
it, they were still getting along with

each other.

These men once were white -collar
workers, but now they're farmers and

very well indeed at the job.

For instance, as corn growers, they rate
right well.

Here's a foreman inspecting their corn.
He says it's plenty good for this

section.

These trained carpenters and painters
who had been on the relief rolls played

their part in the construction of the
houses and other buildings.

The groves, you know, were man's first
temples.

In the darkling wood, amidst the cool
and silence, man offered to the

his solemn thanks.

The New Deal has given these people a
chance to exchange their work for home,

food, clothing, and education for their
children.

Perhaps from it will grow up little
industries to give the colonists cash

and make them consumers once again.

This story talked about utilizing the
land for

sustenance, and that appealed to me very
much at that time.

I wasn't under contract to MGM, but I
took it to Thalberg, and I told it to

and he liked the idea, but they were
afraid of it. They were afraid it was

much down to earth for a big studio that
was attuned to other types of things.

Well, the only thing to do was to make
it myself, and I mortgaged my home

and borrowed money to produce the
picture.

The picture's still running and still
showing this many years afterwards.

And I didn't make a lot of money out of
it, but that wasn't my prime thought.

But it came out ahead. It didn't lose
any.

And I still have the thrill of today of
having it run at

universities, festivals, and talking
about it and having it appreciated.

Just because I'm I, our lives will come
together without

a tear or sigh.

And though the years roll slowly by,
you'll find I'll e 'er be

true.

Just because I'm I, sweetheart,

but you...

You did say you'd come back today,
didn't you?

Could you give us a few more days?

My husband's out on a wonderful
prospect.

And besides, one of my relatives is
coming here tonight. And I'm certain

be able to help us in some way. I'm
positive everything will be all right in

or three days.

Old man Godsky's getting pretty sore,
you delinquent tenants.

But I'll try and stall him off from day
after tomorrow.

But that'll be the limit. If your hubby
can't dig up some money by then, well,

you'd better have your bags packed when
I come back.

Thank you so much, Mr. Crump.

I'm certain we'll be able to dig up some
money by then.

Well, goodbye.

Was that Uzis I saw going down the
stairs?

He gave it till day after tomorrow.

How'd you make out?

Same old story.

A hundred guys and only one job.

I seem to be getting nowhere fast.

John, Uncle Anthony's in town. He called
up today and I got the bright idea to

ask him here for dinner.

There's a chance he might give you a
job.

Oh, what did you do that for? We can get
along without him. Well, a job's a job

no matter where it comes from.

Well, we still got two days.

I'll figure out something by then.

Come on, let's figure out where we're
going to get a chicken for dinner.

Why a chicken?

Can't your uncle eat hamburgers well as
I can? He can, but he's not going to

tonight. Well, how are we going to get a
chicken?

The same way we've been getting the
hamburger.

Now, run along.

We have a lot of things left.

Well, anything to keep peace in the
family.

Okay, by me.

Hello, Schultz, old boy.

Hello. How about a chicken on credit
until day after tomorrow?

That's what you told me two months ago.

Not another bean.

Cash on the table.

What's the idea?

What am I running?

A delicatessen or a pawn shop?

What you're trying to promote these
days, John? Believe it or not, the only

thing I'm trying to promote is a job.

Well, I'm glad to see you're getting
some sense in your head.

Just try standing in line for three
hours with a hundred other guys, waiting

one measly job.

What's happened to the old big shot
here, get -rich -quick Johnny the oil

promoter? Sounds like he's come down to
earth, huh?

Oh, he has.

He's tried awfully hard, haven't you?

Now.

That's fine.

Can't you do something for him, Uncle?

Let me think.

You know, I'm no different than anybody
else.

I've been hit, too, plenty.

And, John, I never was strong for
outright charity.

And I don't think any different today.

I don't want any favors, Uncle. All I
want is a chance to work.

Listen to him, Doc.

You've been reading the papers lately?
You know, back to the land, all that

of stuff? Yeah. Sounds like the only
answer.

Look, here's a letter from the bank
about the mortgage on a piece of land I

a farm, that at present values is worth
practically nothing.

Bank don't want it, neither do I. Gonna
let it go.

But it might mean something to you, for
a while anyway.

Then, of course, there's always the
chance you might make the darn thing pay

get the bank to hold on.

How's it strike you?

Why, Uncle Anthony... That's darn nice
of you. You know, I could write a book

what I don't know about farming.

But I guess beggars can't be choosers.

Would I have an even break to make the
thing go?

That's up to you.

What do you say, Mary?

Oh, anything's better than fighting off
bill collectors day after day.

If it suits you, it's okay by me.

Have you got a map?

Will you write out the directions?

How far away is it?

When can we go? Well, about 180 miles
south of here, there's a town by the

of Arcadia.

You drive right down through the main
stem.

Turn to the left. Go maybe six miles.

Not bad, huh?

A rent collector would have a hard time
finding this place.

Thank goodness.

Look, a windmill. You know what that's
for?

To tell which way the wind blows. Yeah.

No, what are you talking about?

I suppose you think that's a mule.

Well, he had a mule for a father, didn't
he?

Or a mother, which is it?

Neither.

Or both.

I don't know.

And the house, too.

I thought your uncle might have been
kidding about the house.

A fireplace.

And in a sort of tool shed, there were
shovels, hoes, and a couple of old

Then I found another room with all kinds
of seeds on the floor.

Oh, boy.

Tomorrow, I start in.

This farm is going to grow food like it
never has before.

Tate, are you ready?

Oh, John, the toast.

Oh.

Bet you never slept on pine boughs
before.

Uh -uh.

Tickles. I learned how to make them when
I was a boy scout.

And go on, put your blanket down.

That's the stuff.

Smells good.

How do you like my pillow?

Oh, that's a humdinger.

Put those over you.

There you are.

away.

Couldn't you come a little closer?

Oh, holy smoke, I'm all tucked in.

You know, you know, I'm so afraid of
tramps.

Yoo -hoo!

Hey, why don't you put the axe over that
hole there and then shove the jack

under?

Thanks. That's a good idea.

That's a good yoke, all right.

I fixed the tire to go, and I got this
much gas only.

I'd like to help you out, but I haven't
got any gas here. You going far?

I was going to California, Penn Gold
maybe, but I don't think I get there

That's tough, all right. Where'd you
start from?

I was a farmer in Minnesota, but they
take my farm away.

Yeah, it's been pretty hard on you guys.

Say, I'll bet you know all about
farming.

I always think so.

Till last couple years.

How'd you like to come in here and work
this place with me?

I just got here yesterday myself, and I
don't know much about this farming

racket.

Say, fella, you joking?

Honest, no joking. Come on, I'll open
the gate.

See how she goes?

Water makes ground just like chocolate
cake.

Say, that's wonderful.

I'd sure like some sardines tonight for
a change. I haven't had any since last

night.

Oh, hello there.

Hello.

Hilda, my wife say maybe you like come
eat hot rabbit stew?

We'll be right over. Thanks very much.

You're very welcome.

Say, how's that, huh?

Man, the next time you want rabbits too,
you just fix a wire like this and a

loop like this, and here comes the
rabbit. Clonk, clonk, clonk. Bing, and

catched.

And if wire don't get him, I stop him
so.

Wonderful. And those carrots was on the
other end of these weeds you cut down

yesterday. Oh, John.

You mean I cut... Yeah, sure.

Well, what do you know about that?

Carrots grow on weeds.

No.

I was just thinking how much that sweet
is done in one day.

There must be a lot of fellas in the
same boat, just driving someplace until

they run out of gas.

Look, if one man can do as much as he
has in one day, well, why wouldn't ten

do ten times as much?

You know, a plumber, a carpenter, a
stonemason, a sort of cooperative

where money isn't so important. You help
me, I help you.

Great idea, huh?

If it suits.

It's okay by me.

I'm pouring in dozens of them, John.

Look. Whoa.

Come on, I'm pouring in.

Line up, men.

What's your trade, barber?

Can't choose you.

How about you?

I'm a figure salesman.

What can you do?

High class pants pressing.

This is a farm, not a hotel.

Plumber. Well, that's something.

Carpenter. No kidding.

I'm a voice violinist.

I'll be back to you guys. Keep your
places.

It won't do you any good to rush me.

Don't you know a trade? Can you fix a
machine, till the soil? Can you use your

hands? I can use nothing but my hands,
but only to make music.

Yeah, well, you see, we're building up
a... Please give me a chance. I have

strong wrists, strong fingers.

I'll learn. Or let me stay and work.
I'll do anything.

Don't go away, partner.

Thank you.

I'm a stonemason. Okay!

Yeah, thank you. Mister, I'll till the
soil. I'll sow seed.

I'll sow anything.

What can you do?

What's to be done?

Well, did you read the sign?

We're looking for men skilled in basic
trades like farmers, carpenters,

mechanics.

Have you got a tractor?

Well, you can call it that.

I'll drive the tractor.

Do you know anything about farming?

I said I'd drive the tractor.

Mister, listen.

Listen, you've got to listen to me.

I'm going to have a baby any day now.

What's that?

Not me.

My wife in the car.

Well, why didn't you tell me so?

Hey, Mary, he's going to have a baby.

Congratulations. Thank you, thank you.

I'm an undertaker.

When Captain John Smith and his gang
arrived on this continent, what did they

do? Stand around and beef about the
unemployment situation or value of the

dollar? No!

They set to work to make their own
employment, build their own houses and

their own food.

On the Mayflower, there was a planter, a
printer, a doctor, a soldier, a

bookkeeper, and so on. And that's what
we've got here.

If they got along without landlords and
grocery bills, so can we.

What we've got to do is help ourselves
by helping others.

We've got the land, and we've got the
strength.

Yeah, and we haven't got any Indians
coming around to scalp us either.

Now, you don't have to stay. You can go
whenever you want to.

But if you do stay, make up your minds
to work and put this thing over.

Folks,

I've got two bushels of tailors in the
back of my flipper. I suggest that we

throw everything we have in together
into one common pot.

Money, food, everything.

You can have my three ends and a
rooster.

I got a $20 gold piece.

I got two sacks of flour.

I'll throw in my goat. Here's my 560.

How's for a dollar 80?

Marvelous, marvelous.

All right. You, man with the potatoes,
what's your name?

Hannibal. George Washington Hannibal.

All right, Hannibal. You're commissary
sergeant. The center of pleasure, sir.

Who had that $20 gold for you?

Here it is.

You've got charge of the dough, the
finances, if any.

Okay. Mr. Chairman.

And, friends, what form of government
are we going to have?

Well, whatever most of the crowd wants.
Then I suggest, my friends, that

we bind ourselves together in sacred
covenant and establish an immortal

democracy.

It was that kind of talk that got us
here in the first place.

We must have a socialistic form of
government.

The government must control everything,
including the profits.

Wait a minute. Let me talk.

I don't even know what those words mean,
them fellas been talking. All I know is

we got a big job here and we need a big
boss.

And Jan Sims is fella for boss.

Stones have got me licked.

Well, I don't do so good with the wood
myself.

How's the wireless going, eh?

The lessons are coming fine.

How about my shoe?

Fine, fine.

Your land?

I got here first, and the boss said... I
had it picked out yesterday.

It ain't my fault if you didn't know it.

I'll scram.

I won't. Say, you can't get away with
that. No!

All right.

Now you scram.

Build your house.

He won't bother you anymore.

Let me know if you're running any more
slugs like that.

I've been watching you, Mug, and I want
you to get this.

There ain't no place in this camp for
your kind of guy.

You either play ball or you beat it.

We're gonna have law and order here.

We're gonna have it if I have to clean
up on half the outfit.

Wipe your nose and behave.

Oh, God.

What's the idea?

It really works, doesn't it?

Of course.

Don't you think so?

It makes you feel safe.

Confident.

Well, like somebody was...

Kind of watching over you.

John.

There's nothing for people to worry
about.

Not when they've got the earth.

It's... It's like a... A mother.

It's wonderful.

Seven days before we passed it. Thank
you.

Almighty Father, we thank thee for this
glorious evidence of thy everlasting

care and of thy body.

Blessed be thy name.

Thou hast made the earth fruitful that
our labor be productive.

We are grateful for this proof of thy
watchfulness.

It restoreth our hope and faith that
with thy help we shall not

want for our daily bread.

Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the
glory now

and forever.

Amen. Amen.

Come quick, Papa. It's a boy.

because I got another baby.

I love it.

Is it fine, son, you have, Mr. Cohen?

You're telling me.

I hope I can do as much for you someday.

You said it, Lloyd.

Well, don't you folks own this farm?

Take a good look at it, honey.

It's probably our last chance.

Chris says that the taller the corn
gets, the more beautiful it looks.

The stalks bend in the wind, he says.

They never stop climbing.

Yeah.

Say, they get taller than I am.

Clear up there.

Oh, John, I don't ever want to leave
here.

Let's go, honey.

I am directed by order of the Superior
Court to offer public auction the

following piece of property in Center
County, the farm known as the Roger S.

Wilson Farm, consisting of 160 acres,
more or less, in Ottaway Township,

together with the farm buildings and
equipment complete to satisfy the

of $4 ,482 .17 and costs in favor of the
Central City Bank and Trust Company.

Bids are now acceptable on this farm.
What do I offer?

Well, who's going to start the bidding?

I'll bid one for... Hey, what's the big
idea?

You don't want to bid, mister.

I said, who's going to start the
bidding?

Come on, gents, start off the bidding.

I bid $1 .75.

What was that?

I said $1 .06.

What is this, a joke?

Why, the mortgage alone is $4 ,000 and
the property is worth four times that

much. I bid $1 .85.

This is ridiculous.

$1 .85 bid for this valuable farm
property. This sale can't go on. Come

You know the law, Sheriff.

Receive two bids, property must be sold.

Who told you that?

State law.

Article 46, Section 3. Look it up.

Pretty smart, ain't you?

All right.

I'm bid $1 .85 for this fine farm.

Do I hear any other bid?

The ridiculous low price of $1 .85 bid
for this wonderful farm.

Come on, folks, bid.

I gotta get more money than that.

For this wonderful place.

We decided that since you started this
thing and been bossing it, we wanted to

give the farm to you. That's right,
boss.

I ain't given up, men, and I don't know
how to thank you.

But where'd you get the idea, anyway?

Down in Iowa, they sold a farm for 95
cents.

We hated to have to pay a dollar 85.

Well, you're a great gang.

And if we all stick together, we can put
this thing over.

Now, what about food until the crops
come through?

Give me three minutes in the truck, and
I'll go up on Table Mountain and bring

back a whole load of apples.

There's a farmer down the road who
raises hogs. Maybe he'll give us some,

we'll pay him back after the harvest.
We'll bring home the bacon. If my wife's

rabbits keeps on multiplying, that'll
help.

Say, that's fine. Now, we'll start the
first thing in the morning.

Come in.

Saw the light burning. I hope you don't
mind.

Why, not at all.

Say, what is this, a gangster's hangout
or something?

Why, no.

We all work here. We're farmers.

Say, where is this place?

I've been driving around in that darn
rain for about five hours.

I must have taken the wrong road
someplace.

My old man got tanked up in the last
town we came through. He did? Passed out

the back of the car.

He's probably drowned by now.

Is that your car? Yeah.

Hey, would some of you fellas be good
enough to bring him up here so he can

catch his breath? Sure.

Hey, come on. A couple of you big guys.

Louie.

Where's Louie?

I just went to get a drink.

Oh. Come on. Well, come on. What are you
waiting for?

Let's go.

My wife makes wonderful preserves and
we'll get plenty.

It's still raining. Well, it's great for
the corn.

You go over there and dry yourself out.

You

better

get the dark pipe.

old guy was drunk, but he's dead now.

Dead? Are you sure?

Well, I guess I know a stiff when I see
one, don't I?

Hey, Pike!

Wait a minute.

Better get the undertaker instead.

The undertaker?

Holy mackerel!

Hey, Spike!

Give me a hand with this thing.

We'll take it over to the barn.

Okay.

You're being awfully brave about this.

Pop's not doing so bad out there.

He always wanted to live on a hill.

It's all right for me to stay here like
you said it was last night. I'll go and

unpack the laundry.

Maybe you ought to go in with her.

I think she'd rather be alone.

There was almost another funeral here
yesterday.

Louie caught Jake Wilder sneaking off
the place with some community goods.

He did?

Yeah. Can you imagine the nerve of that
guy?

He was going to sell the stuff outside.

Said his wife wanted a radio.

We'd last about a week here at that
rate.

What did you do?

Well, I warned him. But the next one
that pulls anything like that gets out

here.

Believe me.

much better.

Oh, well.

Well, see you at lunch.

I have kitchen duty today.

All right.

You won't be long, son.

No second happens today.

Listen, Chef, I'm not on a diet.

You will be if they don't bring me
something to cook.

Is that the biggest handout we get?

Pipe down.

I do that.

Here. Thanks.

How is she?

Come on, I'm hungry.

Move over.

Sourpuss.

Nice joint they got here.

Yeah.

Beautiful view.

Great idea, this village.

Swell chance for advancement.

I'm going to open up a beauty par.

On a special invite from the head man.

Hey, what's eating your cat got your
tongue?

I don't know how long you're going to be
here or why.

That guy's married and you'll lay off.

My gosh, ain't you anticipatory.

One half -bin of potatoes.

Half a bin of potatoes.

About a dozen onions.

A dozen onions.

Three quarters of a sack of beans.

Gee, I got a kick out of this.

A bushel of apples.

Those men better show up with some fruit
today. I always got more pep when I'm

doing something.

Come in.

Hello.

Hello, Louie.

Three cans of tomatoes.

How's it coming?

Not so hot.

We're hoping.

Twelve pounds of sugar?

Why? You got any ideas?

No, not especially. I just wonder.

Well, don't come around here making it
any worse with that long face of yours.

Or Sally.

I guess what you need, some dough.

Yeah, wouldn't hurt.

Summer squashes.

Two sacks of cornmeal.

There's a swell guy.

Oh, I don't like him. Give me the
willies.

That's enough.

Hey, I want to know something, Chris.

Sure, what?

What's the lowdown on this food
situation?

Well, it don't looks good, and that's
the truth. No chance of getting any

anyways?

The men been out every day after rabbits
and deer. You know as well as I do

there's no more rabbits, and there ain't
a deer in the county by this time.

That's right, I guess.

Hey.

Take a look at this.

You'll probably guess something like
that about me.

Yeah.

But what's this got to do with our food?

The $500 has got a lot to do with it.
How?

You and me are going to take a trip into
town.

You're coming back with $500 without me.

You get the reward for the camp, see?

What do you think I am? The camp's got
to have food.

There ain't a man in camp wouldn't
rather starve than eat that way. Well,

they'll get me anyway, sooner or later.

I've forgotten I ever see that paper.

And that's the truth.

Well, the corn baby has colic.

See you later. Okay.

I'd rather be hit over the head than
frightened to death.

Your car running all right?

I suppose so. Why?

You and me are driving into town.

What are we going to do, get married?

No.

You're going to tell the sheriff that
your name's Mrs. John Sims.

The sheriff? Say, what is this?

I'll tell you later.

Go get your car.

What's on your mind?

You know, Sally, this place has about
got me down.

Oh, don't talk like that, honey.

Come on, let you and me take a walk.

That old moon will make you forget you
ever had a worry.

Won't you?

Come on.

Little Blair must feel romantic tonight.

I always feel like I'm wasting something
when there's a moon like that.

Nothing's happening.

That's funny. I've often felt that way,
too.

You know, you've been nice to me since
I've been here. Oh.

Yeah. You seem so different.

You're not fresh at all.

I think you're swell.

I'm no different from anybody else.

I think you are. I think you're a great
guy.

Yeah.

That's what I used to think, too.

But you can't buy food for a lot of
hungry people just by being a great guy.

It takes dough for that.

You want this place to succeed more than
anything else in the world, don't you?

What do you think?

Would you be awfully happy if you got a
lot of money tonight?

What's the gag?

No gag.

Five hundred.

Where'd this come from?

Can you imagine doing this for us?

500 bucks!

Oh, boy!

Will Mary be surprised? Come on!

with my banjo on my knee.

Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me.

You been cotton weeds again,

John?

You go yump in the lake.

The corn looks great.

Yeah. She's nice and green and she waves
her arms to the sun.

But she's thirsty, Jan.

Very thirsty.

She wants a good drink of water.

Just one more rain.

I'll bet you my hat against yours it
rains before the end of the week.

I hope you're right, boss.

Say, what do you hear from Louie?

Our lawyer from the camp told the judge
why Louie'd given himself up, and the

judge promised to go as easy as
possible.

Oh, then everything's all right, hmm?

Sure, fine.

Oh, I'm going back to Oregon with my
banjo on my knee.

Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me.

I'm going back to Oregon.

What do you say?

Well, if this sun keeps up three, four
days, that's all.

Look.

That corn is dying.

I don't know what we're going to do.

Isn't there enough water in the well to
do some good?

No.

But couldn't the men carry it from
outside somewhere?

The power company reservoir.

How far is that?

Three, four miles.

We couldn't carry enough in buckets or
tanks to do any good.

But we have such a lot of people here,
and a lot of cars.

The people are discouraged.

Well, the money is just about all gone,
and if we don't get rain, we won't have

no crops.

I heard some of the men say they was
getting ready to leave.

Nothing? Nothing's the matter.

There must be something.

You're upset.

You're not yourself.

I tell you, nothing's the matter.

John, we've worked, we've starved, we've
licked everything together so far.

You never held out on me before.

What is it, John?

Well, what do those guys expect me to
do? Climb up and poke my fist through a

rain cloud?

They look up to you, John.

They look up to you for guidance and
help.

They want to believe in you. They
picture you as their leader.

Well, who asked them to pick me?

I can make mistakes too, can't I?

I'm only human.

Can I help it if it don't rain?

No one expects you to.

But keep your perspective.

Be the boss again.

Let them think you're not worried.

Let them think you know more than they
do.

Oh, this cheap joint gives me a pain.
There's no future here.

No place for a guy with big -time ideas.

Oh, what's the use? I've got ideas
bigger than this place.

Real big stuff. John, this isn't you
talking.

Somebody else.

Some stranger.

It's me, all right.

I'm finally getting wise to myself,
that's all.

I'm fed up.

I'm sick of the whole place.

I'm through with it all. I quit.

anyhow. Won't you sit down?

Sally, I don't know how far this thing's
gone between you and John, but I do

know he hasn't been the same since you
came here.

And I'm asking you to let him alone.

Well, don't blame me.

Can I help it if he likes me?

For the first time in his life, John's
been making good.

And if you keep this up, you're going to
ruin him.

You're going to ruin the chances of
happiness of all these people.

Happiness?

Don't make me laugh.

Why, this dump will never amount to
anything.

And as for John, I mean more to him than
you and that whole Boy Scout camp put

together.

Pally, I told you once you could stay
here as long as you want to.

Now I tell you to get out.

Oh, so you're the boss now, huh?

You know you don't belong in a place
like this.

I'll go.

You will?

Will you, Sally?

Sure. Sure, I'll go.

Oh.

Thanks.

It's all right.

But John's going with me.

John wouldn't go with you.

No? John wouldn't go anywhere with you.

I'm not afraid of that.

Can I get you anything?

No, it's all right.

Always doing something, aren't you?

Knitting and...

Things like that.

You run through a lot of socks, you
know.

Yeah.

I guess I do.

I take a lot of looking after.

You must get pretty tired of it
sometimes.

My job.

What? Where are you going?

Oh, I don't know.

Going down to see the men?

Well, what's the use? Everything's going
all right.

You know, this camp would certainly be
lost without you, John.

Yeah.

Well, see you later.

John, remember the day the sprouts came
up?

Sure.

Sure, I remember. Why?

Wasn't it wonderful?

Remember how you took?

Yeah. It was nice.

Listen to that.

The old powerhouse is working again.

You know what that means? I'll bite
what?

It means the water's running downstream
now two miles from the camp.

So what?

Well, Chris said irrigation would save
the crops. Oh, come on, honey. Let's get

going. It's getting late.

Chris said if we could get water in four
or five days... Forget it, baby. Don't

think back. Think ahead.

You and me.

You're going places.

Well, I'll bet in four days we could dig
a ditch to carry that water to the

corn. Oh, you're the biggest guy to be
digging ditches.

You belong with somebody that
appreciates you. You belong with me.

I'm going back.

If you go backwards through, you'll
never see me again.

house is working again. There's water in
that stream not two miles from here.

What we ought to do is get that water
down here to our crops.

We've got five days to do it in, and
I've got an idea of how it ought to be

done. It'll mean work.

Work without stopping.

Yeah, and what'll you be doing?

I'll be working right along with you.
Now you're going to follow me or quit

yellow dogs.

Yeah, you're a fine one to be talking
like that. Yeah, you're the guy we have

thank for being in this spot.

Forget what you think of me. Think of
yourselves.

Think of your homes, your wives, your
kids.

Think of everything you've worked so
hard for.

Think of losing it because you wouldn't
take another chance.

Chris, you said irrigation would save
the crops.

By working day and night, we might be
able to dig a ditch and bring that water

down here.

That'll save our crops, won't it?

Men, it means everything in the world to
you.

How about you?

Hey, go get my shovel, young.

Think it'll work, Chris? Go get your
shovel. Okay. If you go, Rox, I'm going

too. All right. Yes, and I'm going too.

Yeah, and take me with you.
