He tells them that he does not want to move in with them. He realizes that will not fit in with them. This is after Curley's wife puts him in his place.
she could get crooks strung up on a tree. she could make crooks loose his job.
Several factors need to be taken into consideration in this scene from John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. First, the scene takes place in Crooks's room. During the scene with Lennie, Crooks puts forth the notion that he has rights, as symbolized by the placement of one of the books in his room. Next, Crooks's conversation with Lennie and Candy is a bit empowering. Also, consider that Curley's wife is a woman, and while some of the men fear her husband, they do not show respect for her. She is, after all, nameless and essentially powerless.After reviewing the scene, consider this: Is Crooks really bold or is he angry?
George expresses concern about Candy and Lennie visiting Crooks, the African American stable hand, because he knows that Crooks is often lonely and isolated due to his race. George worries that Crooks may not be welcoming to the two men, leading to potential conflict or misunderstandings.
Those dirty crooks
"Ranch with a bunch of guys ain't no place for a girl." "They'll can me pretty soon... I won't have no place to go." "A guy on a ranch don't never listen nor he don't ask no questions" chap 2.

Crooks tells Lennie that if George doesn't return, Lennie will be sent to an asylum or locked up because he is too "dumb" to take care of himself.
Crooks mentions that he enjoys doing odd jobs and working because it keeps him busy and makes him feel useful. He also indicates that working allows him to avoid feeling lonely and isolated.
I want to stand on my own three feet
Just adepends where its at..but I have to say the people who own the area or the place..and asked them for permission..
Crooks says he was just fooling about working at the ranch to protect himself emotionally. As a Black man in a racially discriminatory society, Crooks feels the need to keep his guard up to avoid getting hurt. By pretending that he doesn't want to work at the ranch, he can maintain a sense of control and protect his vulnerable emotions.
