Our Daily Bread Page #2

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.

- Oh, John!

- You mean that I...?

Yeah right.

Who'd say!

Herbs that give carrots!

Do not!

What that Swede has

done in a day.

There must be many people

in these circumstances.

Ir from one place to

another to spend gasoline.

Listen out,

If one can only do

what he did in a day.

Ten men can do ten times more.

A plumber, a carpenter,

a bricklayer...

A kind of cooperative...

where money does not matter.

You help me, I help you.

Good idea, right?

If you believe it,

then I agree.

Are needed.

Ten Men.

Qualified.

Who wish to work.

In this beautiful farm.

And share work and benefits.

Why pay rent?

Between!

And they keep coming. Look.

Come on, old mule.

Get in line!

- What is your trade?

- Barber.

It does not work for me.

And you?

Cigar seller.

What do you know how to do?

Iron pants...

This is a farm, not a hotel.

Plumber.

That's better!

- Carpenter.

- Seriously?

I'm the first violin.

- I heard...

- Excuse me, I think...

Now I return with you,

stay in your places.

Do not rush me.

Do you know how to do other things?

Fix machines?

To till the earth?

Can you use your hands?

I only know how to use

my hands to play music.

We are going to build, eh...

Give me a chance.

I'm strong. Very strong.

I will learn, I will work.

I will do anything.

- Do not leave mate.

- Thank you.

I am a bricklayer.

- Great!

- Thank you...

Lord, Lord!

I will till the earth, I will sow,

what you want.

What do you know how to do?

What is there to do?

Did not read the signs?

We look for men with trades.

Carpenters, mechanics...

Do you have a tractor?

Do you have a tractor?

Well, yes, you can call it that.

I will drive the tractor.

Do you know anything about the field?

I said I will drive the tractor.

You have to listen to me.

I'm going to have a

child, one of these days.

You alone?

Not me, my wife, the

one in the car.

And why did not he tell me?

Mary! She's going to have a child.

- I congratulate.

- Thanks thanks.

I'm an undertaker.

When Captain Smith came

to this continent,

What did you do?

Be quiet and complain

about the situation and

of the value of the dollar?

Do not!

They went to work.

To build their houses and

to cultivate the land.

In Mayflower there

was a settler...

a painter, a doctor,

an accountant...

Like us.

If they could do it, we can too.

Help others and

they will help you.

We have the earth and the energy.

And we do not have Indians that.

They will tear off our hair.

They are not obligated to stay.

They can leave when they want.

But if they stay...

they should work

hard to make this...

never die.

I have two bags of

potatoes in my car.

I propose to do with what we have
