Unfortunately, I don't remember the quote exactly. As a matter of
fact, this is a pretty rough approximation. I think that it should be
enough.
What movie is this quote from?

Wherever there is ???. I'll be there.
Wherever there is ???. I'll be there.
Wherever there is injustice or ??? or ???. I'll be there
And wherever ??? ???

I would appreciate any leads.
thanks

It is from the novel and film "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck.

"The Grapes of Wrath"- Tom Joad (as done by Henry Fonda), I believe

The quote is from "Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. The (Henry Fonda)
young son has become a wanted labor agitator and these are lines said to
his mother.

It also roughly resembles Henry Fonda's (as Tom Joad) speech in
Steinbeck's _The Grapes of Wrath,_ near the end when he leaves. That
kind of struck me as the the model for the _The Three Amigos_ speech and
the others mentioned...

I think it's the end scene in the movie "The Grapes of Wrath". Henry
Fonda as Tom Joad is saying this just before he leaves the family.

It's been a while since I saw that movie, but I think it's the one.

" 'Then it don' matter. Then I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be
ever'where--wherever you look. Wherever they's a fight so hungry people
can eat, I'll be there. Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be
there. If Casy knowed, why, I'll be in the way guys yell when they're
mad an'--I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know
supper's ready. An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise and live in
the houses they build--why, I'll be there.' "

John Steinbeck _The Grapes of Wrath_ Chapter 28, spoken by Tom to his
mother.

Sounds like "The Three Amigos".

Yep - Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath. Unfortunately, even though I'm an OKIE, I can't exactly fill in the blanks.
