The Sound of Fury

I tell ya friends,

the world's going to the Devil in a dive bomber,

and you're diving with it!

You gotta change your direction,

you gotta zoom up again!

The Lord knows your hidden sins, and that's any kind of sin, brother.

What did the great prophet Isaiah say?

"Look ye blind that ye may see!"

You gotta make the Lord your seeing eye, just as he is mine!

I can see a better world...

a greater world!

Every man shall bear his own burden!

"Whatsoever a man soweth...

that shall he also reap!"

You gotta sow the right crop.

You gotta look in your hearts hearts and ask yourself...

if you can answer one thing:

How much is each of you guilty for all the evil in the world?

Why do you do the things you do? Why?

- Mister... - What do you want?

You going to Santa Sierra?

No riders.

Come on. Get in.

Cigar?

No, no, thank you.

One of these? Toothpick.

Santa Sierra, huh?

- You ever been there before? - I live there.

I was looking for work.

Heard they were taking on hands at that chemical plant.

- They weren't. - It's rough.

Maybe you oughtta try up north. Oregon.

Maybe you'll do better up there.

No I gotta stay where I am.

I got a wife and a kid.

Another one on the way.

They sure drop the net over ya, don't they?

Nobody jumped up and asked me,

but I figured when a guy gets married young, he can just as soon go out and cut his throat.

Why they should let a guy get a marriage license before they let him vote?

It's criminal!

Leave it to the female gender!

They hook you before you got good sense.

Now you take my old lady... and I'm not kidding. You want her, you can have her!

Hey, fellow...

you're home.

- So long! - Good luck to you!

Thanks!

Hello, Howard. Welcome back.

Hi, Mr. Linden.

Would you ask him about his bill?

Tommy, please!

- Tommy, stop that! - Then I won't go to school!

Oh yes you will, now stop that whining and put your shoe on.

Put it on!

When you get back, we'll go for a walk, maybe to the zoo.

- I don't wanna to go to no zoo! - Alright Tommy, have it your way.

Hey, Pop! Mom promised me a quarter for the baseball game.

- Now she won't give it to me. - I didn't hear you come in.

- How are you darling? - Fine.

Can I have a quarter, Pop?

- You look tired. - I didn't get much sleep last night.

My whole club is going to baseball and it costs a quarter.

All the other kids are going!

Oh, they are? Here, will this do it?

50 cents!

Howard! You got a job.

You go to that ball game buy yourself a couple of hot dogs.

Gee, Pop. Thanks a lot! Bye Mom, I'm late!

- Howard, tell me what happened. - Did you go to the doctor?

Oh never mind about that. Tell me about the job.

Judy, honey, you promised me.

They've got good doctors at that clinic. They're the best in town.

Oh I don't really need a doctor yet.

Anyhow, I knew you'd get a job.

Then we could pay for my own doctor.

Oh, tell me what happened. Tell me about the job!

There isn't any job.

But you just gave Tommy a half a dollar.

What did you do that for?

'Cause I wanted to.

- You wanted to? - Yes, I wanted to.

My kid can go to a baseball game, can't he?

Not when we owe money for groceries.

Last night I needed 50 cents more to buy eggs.

We'll do without them. Don't pick on me now, I'm tired, I've been up all night.

Begging for groceries, begging for doctors.

Is that what we came to California for?

You know what we came to California for.

You wanted to come as much as I did.

Can I help it if a million other guys had the same idea?

Well, I wish we were back home. At least we weren't beggars.

Oh, Judy, don't cry.

Please don't cry!

What I can do?

What do you want me to do?

Sauté until tender, then add the wine.

- On a low flame. - Gotcha!

Tonight they're gonna have veal scallopini.

Pini for paradise, Mike.

You get tired of writing that newspaper column, I got an apron that'll fit ya.

You're a natural born chef! Excuse me while I get this jerk.

- Bottle of beer. - I love what you wrote in your column yesterday...

How do you like that? A priest helping Indians fight a bunch of fires.

This must've been a town in those days!

Where do you dig up your info?

You said it Mike, dig.

To write a newspaper column, you need a good public library and a strong typewriter.

And an occasional idea!

How many newspapers your column in, Mr. Stanton? A couple hundred?

Something like that.

You're a dime short. Eastern Beer's two bits.

- I didn't want Eastern Beer. - Why didn't you say so?

Why didn't you ask me?

You ever notice, Mr. Stanton? You take a beer drinker, you've got a jerk.

Hmm, I don't know Mike.

The Lord must love the beer drinkers, he made an awful lot of 'em.

See ya.

Okay, kid.

That's enough.

Say pal you see a pair of shoes back there?

These?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Sure been rolling down the gutters. Must be getting rusty.

Nothing wrong with that last one!

Yeah, it was alright.

- Jolt? - No, no thank you.

But it still ain't my money game.

If I got to bowl for $25-50 a line, I'd better sharpen up.

Come on, help yourself. Why pay bar prices?

No, thanks. The beer is okay.

Make a boilermaker out of it! That's all beer's good for.

Sure been a long time since I had one of these.

Hold this for me, will you?

What outfit were you in?

Oh, no outfit I guess.

- I never got out of Camp Roberts. - Roberts?

What do you know? I did basic there.

- No kidding? - Yeah, what a joint!

- Couldn't wait to get shipped over. - You got over, huh?

- Yes. - Pretty rugged, hmm?

That was a rumor I heard in Paris.

Oh, Paris. Oo la la!

You know what you could get for one crummy pack of cigarettes?

Boy, the markup was terrific!

Sure wish a guy could get a buck that easy these days.

- Things kinda slow, huh? - They're up and down.

They're mostly down. It's kinda tough getting anything steady.

- You can drive a car, can't you? - Yeah.

- Walk me to my hotel. - Well...

Eh, come on, come on it's only a couple of blocks.

Maybe I can put you on to something.

- Okay, sure! - Yeah, hold this for me will ya.

- Hey what's your name? - Tyler. Howard Tyler.

Tyler, huh?

- Where you from, Howard? - Boston.

Boston, huh?

Throw me that brush, will ya Howard?

Oh, one of these days, I'm going back to Berlin. What a town!

I never could decide between those...

big German frauleins and those little French dollies.

I give 'em all the same branch.

Hey, did you ever noticed one thing all women have in common?

They're all partial to the same color, green.

Yes, I know what you mean.

Not bad, huh? Eau de nuit.

- Boy that smells good! - Smells expensive.

$6.50 a bottle!

A guy gotta keep himself in shape.

I used to play a little handball at the Y.

You never know when you're going to get in a beef!

What size collar do you wear?

15 and a half.

That's too bad.

None of these I can spare you, but...

Hey, feel that, that's real silk.

Yeah well silk makes my skin itch.

- Fasten that for me will ya? - Sure.

That's platinum you know, not silver.

- Boy you sure treat yourself alright. - Eh pretty good, hey, think I need a shave?

No, no, you look good!

- Jerry... - Yeah?

Got any idea what time it's getting to be?

5:30.

Why?

- Going some place? - I have to go home.

Jerry, about that job you mentioned...

My wife doesn't know where I am.

Keep her guessing. They'll respect you more that way.

- Hey, you like this one? - Yeah, that's good.

- Uh, Jerry... - Buddy of mine gave it to me.

I liked it, he took it right off his neck.

I'll have to introduce you to him sometime. He's quite a character!

Yeah. He can afford it. He averages 20 bucks an hour, five hours a night...

you figure it out.

$20 an hour? What does he do? Run a diamond mine?

What diamond mine? All he does is pick up 5 little cards.

Just five little cards.

Only he knows what they are before he picks 'em up.
