Of Mice and Men Page #6

Had nice clothes.

This guy said I was a natural.

Maybe if you took this pup

and you throwed him away,

then George would never know and I'd

get to tend them rabbits with no trouble.

What makes you so nuts about rabbits?

I like to pet nice things

with the fingers. Soft things.

Well, who don't? Everybody likes that.

Do you like to feel velvet?

You bet, by God.

I had me some too. The lady

give me some and then I lost it.

You're nuts.

But you're kinda a nice fella.

Just like a big baby.

Sometimes when I'm doing my hair,

I just sit and stroke it cos it's so soft.

Feel right here.

That's nice.

Like it, don't ya?

I like it too. It feels nice.

That's nice.

That's nice.

Don't mess it up.

Look out now. You'll mess it up.

Don't muss it up.

Let go.

Let go. You let go.

- Don't. Don't.

- Let go.

- Let go!

- Sssh! Sssh!

Hey, no.

Hey, don't do none of that.

Please, don't you go yelling.

Don't! Don't you go yelling.

Don't! Don't!

Don't yell! Don't do that!

George is gonna be mad if you yell.

Don't wanna hurt you,

but you're gonna get me in trouble.

You done a bad thing.

I done a bad thing.

I done a really bad thing.

Lennie! Lennie!

Lennie, I got something here to show you.

I didn't know you was out here.

You oughtn't to sleep out here.

Jesus Christ.

Hey!

Damn.

What are we gonna do now, George?

- We oughta tell the guys.

- No, no.

We oughta let him get away.

You don't know that Curley.

Curley's gonna wanna get him lynched.

I ain't gonna let him hurt Lennie.

All right, now, listen.

The guys might think I was in on it.

So I'm gonna go in the bunkhouse,

and then you give me a minute,

then you come out

and tell the guys about her,

and then I'll come along and make

like I never seen her. Will you do that?

Sure, George.

Slim! Slim!

Something happened to Curley's wife.

Come quick. Come quick. Come on.

Come on, come on, come on!

- What the hell's going on, Candy?

- Let's go see.

Come on.

Move it.

She ain't moving.

I know who done it.

That little son of a b*tch done it.

I'm gonna get him.

I'm gonna get my rifle and I'm gonna

kill that son of a b*tch myself.

- I'll get my gun.

- I'll go with you.

Tom, let's get the horses.

I guess Lennie done it, all right. Her...

Her neck's bust.

Lennie could've done that?

- Well, I guess we gotta get him.

- Couldn't you bring him in...

and... and lock him up?

He's nuts. He never done this to be mean.

If we could keep Curley in, we might.

But Curley's gonna wanna shoot him.

And suppose they lock him up and strap

him down and put him in a cage?

That ain't no good, George.

Come on, men. Let's get a move on it.

That bastard stole my gun.

It ain't in my bunk.

N*gger's got a shotgun. Take his.

Curley, maybe you'd better

stay here with your wife.

Oh, no, goddamnit.

I'm gonna kill the son of a b*tch myself.

Come on, let's move!

Whitt, Mike, Carlson,

you fellas ride with me.

Anybody finds him, hold him till I

get there cos I want the first crack at him.

Slim! Take your men south.

I'm gonna take my men north.

Let 'em go. Come on, move out!

Move it.

Come on, let's go.

What you gonna do? George?

- Find Lennie before they get to him.

- Are you gonna help him get away?

I don't know.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Lennie.

Lennie!

Lennie!

George.

George, I didn't... I didn't forget, George.

I didn't... I didn't remember

where we was, but I didn't forget.

- I just... I couldn't find it.

- It's OK.

- I couldn't find it.

- It's OK.

OK?

I didn't forget what you told me.

It's OK.

It's OK.

George?

Yeah?

Ain't ya gonna give me hell?

Like... like you done before?

Like "If I didn't have you, I'd take

my 50 bucks, go into a cathouse..."

Jesus Christ, Lennie.

You can't remember

nothing that happens,

but you remember every word I say.

I thought you was mad at me, George.

No.

I ain't mad.

I ain't never been mad.

You ain't gonna leave me, George.

I know you ain't.

Nope.

George, I done... I done a bad thing.

It don't make no difference.

George...

George, where are we gonna go now?

I don't know.

I... I like it here.

George, tell me like you done before.

About them other guys and about us.

George, tell it like you done before.

OK.

OK.

You look over there. OK? I'll tell ya.

So you can almost see it. OK?

- Where?

- Over there.

- OK? Over there.

- OK.

Guys like us, they got no family.

They ain't got nobody

who gives a hoot in hell about 'em.

But not us, George.

That's it, George. But not us.

Tell about us now.

- Not us.

- Because...

- Cos I got you.

- And I got you, George.

That's what gives a hoot in hell about us.

George, but tell now how it's gonna be.

We're gonna get a little place.

OK. Yeah. We're gonna get

a little place and we're gonna...

- We're gonna...

...have...

We're gonna have a cow, and some pigs,

and we're gonna have maybe a chicken.

- Down in the flat, we'll have a...

- Field of alfalfa for the rabbits.

- For the rabbits...

- And I get to tend the rabbits.
