Our Daily Bread Page #4

Synopsis: John and Mary sims are city-dwellers hit hard by the financial fist of The Depression. Driven by bravery (and sheer desperation) they flee to the country and, with the help of other workers, set up a farming community - a socialist mini-society based upon the teachings of Edward Gallafent. The newborn community suffers many hardships - drought, vicious raccoons and the long arm of the law - but ultimately pull together to reach a bread-based Utopia.

I'm fed up.

Thanks, I was starting

to get tired.

Do not you feel?

Sally

I do not know what's between you and John,

but it's not the same

since you arrived.

Leave him alone.

It's not my fault...

If he likes me.

For the first time in his life,

John has achieved something.

And you are going to destroy it.

And destroy the happiness of these people.

Happiness? Do not make me laugh!

This landfill will

never be anything.

And for John...

I mean more than you and

the whole camp together.

Sally... once I told

you you could stay.

Today I tell you to leave!

Is he now the boss?

This is not your site. Go away!

Very good,

I will go.

You will leave?

You will do it?

Clear. Of course I will go.

- Thank you...

- Yes...

But John will come with me.

John would not leave with you.

Do not?

He would never leave with you.

I'm sure.

Want something?

No. I do not want anything.

Always busy...

Knitting, or things like that...

You break many socks.

I suppose.

You need a lot of care.

Sometimes you should get tired...

It's my job.

John!

What?

Where are you going?

Well I do not know.

Are you going to see the men?

For what?

Everything is going well...

You know... You know this camp

would be lost without you.

Yes. Good, see you.

John...

Do you remember when the

outbreaks came out?

Yes, of course I remember. Why?

It was wonderful!

Remember? Remember your joy.

Yes, it was great...

What do you do?

Do you want to kill us?

John, you scared me to death.

You better drive yourself.

Listen to that.

The power plant works again.

Know that means?

Very good, so what?

That the water runs three

kilometers from the camp.

And that?

A little watering would

save the harvest.

Let's go honey.

It's getting late.

With a little water

it would be solved...

Forget it, do not

think about the past.

You and I will do great things.

In four days we could

dig a ditch so that

the water will arrive at the camp.

Stop digging ditches.

With me you will do better things.

Stay with me.

I will return.

If you go back there, we're finished!

You will not see me again!

Johny!

Listen to me all:

The old central is in operation.

There is water three

kilometers from here.

We will bring it to our crops.

We will do it in five days.

I have an idea that could work.

We will have to work

hard and without pause.

And you, what are you going to do?

Working with you.

Are you going to follow

me or run like cowards?

Yes... You are the only

one to give speeches!

Yes. For you we are

in this quagmire.

Forget everything you think of me.

Think of yourselves,

of your houses,

in your women and children,

think about all the work done.

All lost for not trying again.

Chris, you said that irrigation

would save the crops.

And this very night we could start

a ditch and bring the water here.

We would save our harvest.

Guys, this means everything

to us in the world.

Come on, let's try.

Chris, what do you say?

I'm going to find my shovel.

- Do you think it will work out, Chris?

- Go find your shovel.

- Okay.

- If you go, me too.

- I'm going too.

- I go with you.

And I also!

We are on time and

we will achieve it.

- We will fight!

- We'll do it, John!

- Come on!

- Let's go everyone!

Enough talk. Let us begin!

The measurements will be

half a meter by one meter.

Start a meter and a half from the tree.

We will point the way.

All right, you start here.

Let us begin. Straight

through the bushes.

- Come on, let's go!

- Ahead!

- Alright guys.

- Right here.

Then let's continue there.

Put a stake there and here another one.

- Keep going so.

- Cavad, dig.

Go ahead, keep digging.

Let no one stop, let's

continue at this pace.

We have a long way to go.

Come on, give a hand here.

Come, all together.

Up, get up! Come on!

All at the same time.

Let's separate them all.

Take that. One by one.

Come on guys!

Keep going, here you have a road.

Where, Plarks?

- Right here?

- Yes.

Right there.

We will go out to the right of that tree.

Very good.

Boys! We will twist here!

Come on, let's go!

It is too thick.

There are many here too.

We could go here.

Okay, take care of the

tree, let's move on.

See you.

Remove that tree

from the middle.

Very good guys stay tuned.

Attention, the tree will fall!

Around here, guys.

Do you see well?

Yes, Miss.

Do any of you have duct tape?

If we had ham, we would

make sandwiches.

I have more thirst than the field.

I'm hungry since this morning.

Do you want more?

No thanks, I have

to go back to work.

Coffee?

Yes thanks.

Thank you.

Here you have.

Thank you.

The diggers are

going to reach us.

Go ahead, hurry up.

Faster!

Come on, let's go.

Attention!

Boys, put that table there.

Right there, now the

corrugated sheet.

There it goes.

Give me that.

That piece goes there.

Give me that piece of sedan.

Come on, guys, we

have to finish.

Cross and follow the other side.

Keep up with that pace.

Go ahead, boys.

Let's go back to the

source of the stream.

Come on!

Come on, do not stay behind.

You need a drink.

Come on, do not stop now.

This is the last stake.

The ditch is finished.

Finished!

It is done!

Completed!

Ahead!

Let her run!

Let the water pass!

Come on guys!
