- curly lays into poor lenny then george orders lenny to fight back lenny's scared but he's a strong man he grips curly's hand for a long time crushing
- all the bones yikes does it serve curly right it's certainly a reminder of lenny's strength when the men take curly to see a doctor the scene shifts we're in the stables where crook sleeps

- are left on the ranch alone the other men are having a big night out lenny wanders into the stable room to see the puppies crooks values his privacy and
- isn't pleased to see lenny but lenny isn't like the other white men who exclude crooks lenny has an innocence about him crooks tells lenny about his childhood and lenny
- tells him about the dream of tending to rabbits on a ranch candy joins crooks and lenny to talk about the dream
- there's a moment where crooks even suggests that maybe he could leave the ranch with them they're interrupted by curly's wife as usual she's feeling lonely and just wants to talk
- to someone but candy and crooks both tell her to go away do you feel sorry for her she gets fed up and threatens to get crooks into trouble
- he's probably the only person on the ranch who's treated worse than her we next see lenny on sunday afternoon cradling his puppy sadly the puppy is dead
- lenny is confused and upset he doesn't fully understand that he's killed the puppy by over-petting it it's a sad ending for the puppy and heartbreaking for lenny
- he worries that george won't let him take care of the rabbits in future once he knows that he's accidentally killed his own puppy when curly's wife comes into
- the barn again he starts talking to her she's friendly to lenny so he tells her about the dream of the rabbits gee he loves those rabbits you'd think they were real curly's wife can relate

- suddenly her body flops like a fish lenny has accidentally broken her neck lenny is terrified so he leaves the body of curly's wife among the hay
- looking very pretty and simple he tucks the dead puppy under his coat and runs away candy finds curly's wife and tells george george despairs all he hopes for now is that
- his friend lenny won't get hurt candy knows that curly will make sure lenny dies for this when the other men burst into the room curly is outraged and vows to seek revenge
- carlson also realises that his gun has been stolen george hopes that they can find lenny and hand him over to be locked up he's still hoping that justice will be done is it possible
- can't wait to shoot lenny george reminds curly that lenny wouldn't have known what he was doing curly doesn't care about lenny's disability there's murder in curly's eyes we move away from
- the ranch to the beautiful salinas river the hills are rosy in the sun and there's a soft breeze lenny is out there waiting for george he's lost in his thoughts he imagines
- his aunt clara is in front of him telling him off for being a nuisance to george a rabbit hops near lenny lenny imagines that the rabbit is angry at him too
