No turtles? How bout a dead grandpa with coins on his eyes?
The turtle to Mama Joad: 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--turtle soup! Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there, sneaking up on his ass to do my wicked turtle ninja moves. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad-- F you turtle! I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready--kill the turtle! hahahhaha! Kill the turtle! hahahahaha!, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raised (or ran over in the road) and livin' in the houses they build (out of turtle shells) - I'll be there, too.
