Well, as far as I can see,
you don't look any different
from the rest of us.
Well, we are.
Well, what makes you different?
History.
Oh.
You got it now?
Hey, it looks better.
I think it stopped.
Thanks for the ice.
Any time.
Christ, I hope not.
Good morning.
I'm from the Textile
Workers' Union of America.
Read this when you have a
chance, on your break.
Thank you. Good morning.
Read this when you
have a chance, please.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Good morning.
Read this when you have a chance.
I'm from the Textile
Workers' Union of America.
Read this when you have a chance.
Read this on your break.
Want to read this
when you can, please?
I'm from the Textile
Workers' Union of America.
You want to read this
when you have a chance?
Good morning.
You want to read this when
you get home, please?
I'm with the Textile
Workers' Union of America.
Read this on your break.
Good morning!
How's your nose?
Read that on your break.
There's too many big words.
If I don't understand it, they
ain't gonna understand it.
That fellow your friend, Norma?
He's getting to be.
- Better hurry. You'll be late.
- I don't care if I get there tomorrow.
If you have questions,
I'm at the Golden
Cherry Motel, room 31.
Don't be late for work, now, folks.
Good morning.
The lady wants to go to work.
I'll catch you later.
One of you guys shows up
about every four years,
about the same time
we get the locusts.
What's your name?
My name's Jimmy Jerome Davis.
We got six boss men
in civil contempt.
Would you care to make it seven?
Why, hell, we plaster the
toilets with them things.
Want to read this on your break?
A**hole.
I already told him I wouldn't go
out to dinner. What's he want now?
Maybe he wants to make
it breakfast, Norma Rae.
Whatever it is, I didn't do it.
You got the biggest
mouth in this mill.
"Give us a longer break,
more smoking time.
"Give us a Kotex pad machine."
Do it, and I'll shut up.
The only way to close that
mouth is to promote you.
You're going up in
the world, honey.
Yeah? How far for how much?
Well, we're going to put
you on spot-checking.
Well, hell, it sure ain't
gonna make me any friends.
It'll make you another
$1.50 an hour.
How am I doing, little girl?
You doin' good, Daddy.
speed it up, if you can.
I'm going as fast as I can.
Yeah.
Well, they're watching me.
They're watching you.
Well, what, you're sore at me?
You shouldn't push your own daddy.
I need the money for my kids.
Well, I don't need it from my kid.
Millie! Craig!
What are you doing in
Grandma's marigolds?
Get up!
I don't want to.
You do it anyway!
You're filthy!
Criminy! I cleaned you up once!
Come on! Right in here now.
That's it.
Come on, Steve! Come on, Steve!
Come on!
All right! They made it!
He's got an arm on him!
Woo!
Hey, you want something?
Get me a hot dog, lots of relish.
- Woo!
- All right!
Can I have a hot dog, please?
OK.
Thank you.
Hi, Wilma. Can I have two dogs?
OK. Just a minute.
Hi. How you doing?
You enjoying the game?
Oh, yeah. I love the shortstop.
Scouts are looking at him.
What's the matter?
You don't like it?
This isn't a hot dog.
What's in this thing?
Lots of things you don't
want to know about.
Excuse me a minute.
Hello, Norma.
Hey, Ellis.
You're looking fine.
I'm always fine. I'm a horse.
You changed your hair.
It grew.
How's Craig?
He lost a tooth.
It wouldn't hurt if you came by
to see him every now and then.
I don't believe
I can do that, Norma.
Well, suit yourself.
You always have.
Give me a Coke.
You want a Coke?
Yeah.
Two, please.
Here, this is for hers.
All right.
Keep the change.
Here you go.
I climbed into the
backseat of his Cadillac
one rainy night six years ago,
stuck my feet out the back window,
and got little Craig off
that Southern gentleman.
He ain't done nothin'
worthwhile since.
Did you get married?
He didn't bother. I didn't bother.
My first affair, as I recollect it,
was with my Hungarian
piano teacher.
I was playing Smetana.
She put her head in my lap.
I played the hell out of that.
Next thing I knew, we
were in her bedroom.
Her husband came home and found us.
The poor guy burst into tears.
I said, "Hey, man, I'm sorry,"
and we all went into the kitchen
and had a glass of tea.
I'm always hassling
with some other guy.
That's how it seems.
What do you think of me, I wonder.
what's happening to you.
I'm over here now.
I got the jump on you!
Come on, lady. Come on,
come on, come on!
Mark me down. Mark me down.
I'm over here now, lady!
Come on!
I'm over here.
Hey. lady!
What you waiting for, girl?
I'm over here now.
Come on, lady.
I'm over here now.
Come on, lady. Come on.
You damn fool!
You'll get us both
to lose our jobs!
I'll get it.
Hey.
I won't trouble you.
I just came to apologize.
I know I could have lost
you your job today.
You sure went crazy on me.
I know.
I got handed divorce
papers this morning.
I guess I went off my head.
Well,
things can get to you.
Would you come and
have a drink with me?
Just to make up for the ruckus.
I'm Sonny Webster.
You used to come in
my mama's bakery.
Sonny Webster?
Sonny Webster! I remember you.
You stood behind the cash register
and gave everybody the wrong change.
I never was too good at math.
You're telling me!
Sonny Webster! Golly!
How about that drink?
OK.
Just wait one minute.
I heard a man's voice.
I'm going out with him.
Where did you meet him?
Just now, on the front porch.
You're not going out.
Daddy, I'm over 21.
Let me say some names to you.
Buddy Wilson, Ellis Harper,
George Benson, a U.S. sailor.
None of which is looking after
you, as far as I can see.
It's my roof, my food.
You're always trying
to keep men off me.
Be grateful for your daddy's love.
You're loving me to death.
My needs are very much alive
Is it OK if I stop by
It's all wrong, but it's all right
It's all wrong, but it's all right
God darn, that lady can sing.
And her words are so true.
I like Elvis myself.
I wish I could make lots
of money by just wailing.
That don't necessarily
make them happy.
What does? What does? What does?
A man and a woman is
about your best chance.
Didn't you tell me you got a gun,
and you was gonna shoot your wife?
I was gonna burn them both down,
her and her boyfriend,
but I couldn't.
She was a real good person
when we went to school.
But then a change
had come over her.
Listen.
I'm a lot different
from what I was.
I mean, you go through things.
Hey!
Hey!
New York! Hey, man!
Hey, buddy!
Come on over here!
We need anybody else?
The more the merrier.
Reuben!
Here you are with your papers!
Come on over.
Come on, Reuben.
Reuben, meet Sonny.
Sonny, this is Reuben
Warbershovsky.
Close! How are you?
Sit down! Take a load off.
What are you doing here?
