Tom:
Ma, there comes a time when a man gets mad.

Ma:
You told me, you promised me...

Tom:
I know, Ma, I'm tryin' to. If there was a law they was workin' with, maybe we could take it but it ain't the law. They're workin' away on our spirits, tryin' to make us cringe and crawl, workin' on our decency.

Ma:
You promised Tom.

Tom:
I know, I'm a-tryin' to, Ma...

Ma:
You gotta keep clear. The family's a-breakin' up. You gotta keep clear.
