How does crooks feel about Lennie's dream of living off the fatta the land?

Crooks is initially skeptical about Lennie's dream because he has seen many others talk about similar dreams only to have them shattered by the reality of their circumstances. Despite this, Crooks becomes briefly enticed by the idea and starts to believe in the possibility of joining Lennie and George in pursuit of their dream.
