George is simply after the American Dream. Freedom and being able to become your own boss and have your own land is what he desires.
Lennie is set on tending the rabbits, and defending them from the cats that dare threaten them. Lennie is dependent on George, so what George wants, Lennie wants too, to keep George happy.
Candy doesn't want to become useless on the ranch, because he knows that once he can't work, he won't be able to gain work because he is handicapped and no one will want to hire him. On the ranch, he can do odd jobs, like washing dishes etc, where he'll still be useful.
Crooks, strangely it would seem, wants to work for George for free. He'd still be doing slave labour like he does on the ranch and without money. But on George's land, Crooks would get something he could never get on the ranch; respect.

What does Lennie tell crooks even though he probably shouldn't have?
Lennie tells Crooks about the plan he and George have (and now Candy as well) to get a little farm together. Lennie will be able to tend the rabbits, and as he and Crooks sit in Crooks' room out in the barn, Candy is in the bunkhouse "figurin' and figurin'" about the rabbits and how they might be able to make some money on them. The dream they had of "livin' offa the fatta the lan'" (living off of the fat of the land) was supposed to kept a secret, but Lennie doesn't realize that he shouldn't tell Crooks about it. At first, Crooks scoffs at the idea. He says, "No one never gets to Heaven, and no one never gets no land," but when Candy admits that it's true, Crooks wants in. However, Curley's wife winds up coming out to the barn, and she puts Crooks back in his place, so he ends the chapter telling Candy that he was just kidding about wanting to go to the dream farm with them. As readers, we know that he wasn't kidding, but we also know that Crooks is right to realize that he wouldn't be able to join with the others since he is a Black man in the 1930's south (California) and the prejudice of the whites will keep him from joining them.
