In Dubious Battle Quote

[first lines] 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!
