Norma Rae Page #7

Synopsis: Like a lot of her family before her, Norma Rae works at the local textile mill, where the pay is hardly commensurate with the long hours and lousy working conditions. But after hearing a rousing speech by labor activist Reuben, Norma is inspired to rally her fellow workers behind the cause of unionism. Her decision rankles her family, especially her fiancé, Sonny, and provokes no shortage of contempt from her employers.

of Dylan Thomas.

I already bought one for myself.

You did?

Nobody can do anything

for you, huh?

You've done something

for me, a lot.

Well, you did something for us.

A mitzvah.

- What's that?

- What is that?

That's a good work.

I don't say good-bye.

I have been known to cry.

- Well, what do you say?

- Ahhh...

Be happy.

Be well.

Same to you.

Best wishes don't

seem hardly enough.

I...

I'd like to thank you.

I do.

I thank you for your companionship,

your stamina,

your horse sense, and 101 laughs.

I also enjoyed very much

looking at your shining hair

and your shining face.

Reuben, I think you like me.

I do.

I was going to buy you something,

but I didn't know what you'd like.

Norma, what I've had from

you has been sumptuous.

Bless the child of a workin' man

She knows too soon who she is

And bless the hands of a workin' man

He knows his soul is his

So it goes like it goes

Like the river flows

And time, it rolls right on

And maybe what's good

Gets a little bit better

And maybe what's bad gets gone

And it goes like it goes

Like the river flows

And time keeps rollin' on

And maybe what's good

Gets a little bit better

And maybe what's bad Gets gone
