Something wrong with the clip?

Tom Joad:
[At 1:18:50 into the movie, Tom Joad pulls off the road to change the left front tire. Jane Darwell gets out of the truck and sits on the front bumper. As Tom begins to get under the truck to jack the truck up, he says to Jane,]
"Ma, will you get the hell off'a there! It's gonna be heavy enough..." That somehow passed the Board of Review censors.

It didn’t get by the censors any more than Frankenstein or king Kong that we see today got by the censors. It was even worse in 1940 because of the uprising after the word damn Waze used in gone with the wind when people went to the movie in 1940 to see the grapes of wrath, when Tom Joad was under the vehicle, there was just silence. What you are watching is the restored version.
This is my understanding from researching it. Of course the last scene in the book would never have been put in the movie.
