Daily Dialogue — March 2, 2010

“Then it don’t matter. I’ll be all around in the dark — I’ll be everywhere. Wherever you can look — wherever there’s a fight, so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad. I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready, and when the people are eatin’ the stuff they raise and livin’ in the houses they build — I’ll be there, too.”

 — Tom Joad (Henry Fonda), The Grapes of Wrath (1940), screenplay by Nunnally Johnson, based on the book by John Steinbeck

The Daily Dialogue theme this week is notable monologues, suggested by OutOfContext. The Tom Joad suggestion is from OOC as well. The monologue starts at 2:28 in the clip.
