Tom:
They won't. They're gettin' five now. That's all they care about.

Casy:
But the moment they ain't strike-breakin', they won't get no five...

Tom:
The five they're gettin' now. That's all they're interested in. I know exactly what Pa'd say. He'd say it's none of his business.

Casy:
Guess that's right. You'll have to take a beatin' before you'll know.

Tom:
Take a beatin'? We was out of food. Tonight we had meat, not much, but we had it. You think Pa's gonna give up his meat on account of some other fellas? Rosasharn needs milk. You think Ma's gonna starve that baby just on account of fellas yellin' outside a gate?

Casy:
Tom, you gotta learn like I'm learnin'. I don't know what's right yet, myself, but I'm tryin' to find out. That's why I can't ever be a Preacher again. Preacher's gotta know. I don't know. I gotta ask.
