An’ never a God damn one of ’em ever gets it. Just like heaven. Ever’body wants a little piece of lan’. I read plenty of books out here. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land." This is Crooks speaking to Lennie
ReplyDelete"Jus' the usual thing. We go in to old Susy's place. Hell of a nice place. Old Susy's a laugh-always crackin' jokes. Like she says when we come up on the front porch las' night.

ReplyDeleteGoerge to Slim(im pretty sure, ill double check)
"S'pose you didn't have nobody. S'pose you couldn't go into the bunk house and play rummy 'cause you was black. How'd you like that? S'pose you had to sit out here an' read books. Sure you could play horseshoes till it got dark, but then you got to read books. Books ain't no good. A guy needs somebody - to be near him. A guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody. Don't make no difference who the guy is, long's he's with you. I tell ya, I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an' he gets sick."
