  Jim : [narrating]  My pop always told me to watch the scales. Said the world will always find a way to cheat the working man. I met Mac McLeod in 1933, and I witnessed up close the price of real change.

  Title Card : At the height of The Great Depression, nearly one quarter of Americans were without jobs.

  Bolton : [standing on the back of his truck]  Gentlemen, ladies, come in, come in. Listen, please. Hear what I have to say, all right? This price cut pains me as much as it pains you. With the market as volatile as it is, a fella should count himself fortunate to garner a respectable wage like I offer you. Right?

  London : [in the crowd]  Yeah, respectable like hell! What? Yeah! Man can't live on a dollar a day!

• Jim : [to the group about about Mac]  He was one of you. He fought, and he fought for you. And he never wanted anything in return. He gave his life for you. And he gave his life for a cause bigger than you. For an idea. The idea... That guys like you, and guys like me... Deserve dignity, and deserve respect, and deserve a fair share of what we make with our bare hands. And those bastards... They shot him. They shot him for believing in something bigger than himself. And they shot him, because now, they think that we'll all shrivel up and go home like a bunch of meek dogs. But we ain't gonna do that.
