2:36:02
All right, you"re the foreman.
2:36:04
Just keep the mill running
and deliver my lumber when I want it.
2:36:07
Johnnie Gallegher"s your man, miss.
But remember...
2:36:10
...no questions and no interference.
2:36:13
That"s a bargain.
Start in the morning.
2:36:15
Come on, get a move on there!
2:36:18
But this isn"t right, and you know it.
Bad enough to be a businesswoman...
2:36:22
Why do you complain?
2:36:24
You wouldn"t own a mill
if I didn"t take over.
2:36:26
But I didn"t want the mill.
2:36:28
We couldn"t buy it if you hadn"t
pressed our friends for their debts.
2:36:32
Isn"t that right?
2:36:33
Are you running
a charitable institution?
2:36:35
Go back to the store, and go home
and take your medicine.
2:36:39
Sugar, don"t you think...?
2:36:40
Great balls of fire! Don"t bother me.
And don"t call me sugar.
2:36:44
All right. All right.
Good night, Ashley.
2:36:48
My, my!
2:36:50
She can get mad quicker
than any woman I ever saw.
2:36:54
I don"t like to interfere...
2:36:56
...but I wish you"d let me hire
darkies and not use convicts.
2:36:59
We could do better.
2:37:01
Darkies" pay would break us.
Convicts are cheap.
2:37:04
If we give Gallegher a free hand...
2:37:05
A free hand? That means
he"ll starve and whip them.
2:37:09
Didn"t you see them?
Some are sick.
2:37:11
How you do run on.
2:37:12
If I let you alone,
you"d give them chicken...
2:37:15
...and tuck them in with quilts.
2:37:17
I won"t make money out of the
enforced labor and misery of others.
2:37:21
You didn"t mind owning slaves.
2:37:23
That was different.
We didn"t treat them that way.
2:37:26
l"d have freed them
when father died...
2:37:28
...if the war hadn"t
already freed them.
2:37:30
l"m sorry, Ashley.
2:37:32
Do you forget what it"s like
without money?
2:37:34
Money is the most
important thing in the world.
2:37:37
I don"t intend to be without it again.
2:37:39
l"ll make enough the only way I know
how so the Yankees can"t take Tara.
2:37:43
We"re not the only Southerners
who"ve suffered.
2:37:46
Look at all our friends. They"re
keeping their honor and kindness.
2:37:50
And they"re starving. L"ve no use
for fools who won"t help themselves.
2:37:53
I know what they say about me.
I don"t care.
2:37:56
l"ll befriend Carpetbaggers
and beat them at their own game.
2:37:59
And you"ll beat them with me.
