:33:43
That there is
bottom land soil, ain't it?
:33:48
Queer how the folks
that lives on the bottom
:33:52
looks down
on the folks on top.
:33:57
Were always
that way.
:34:01
Ain't no
changing it.
:34:02
Well, i'm a-going to
change it.
:34:05
I'm a-going to get us
a piece of bottom land.
:34:09
Your pa set out
to get hisself
:34:11
a piece
of bottom land once.
:34:14
Nary a man
ever tried harder.
:34:18
Like to kill hisself
trying.
:34:23
Was a long time
'fore he give up,
:34:27
but he had to
in the end.
:34:30
Well, i ain't
a-setting myself up
:34:32
as a better man
than pa.
:34:34
I reckon i ain't
half as good.
:34:36
But i'm a-knowing
where there's a piece
:34:39
of bottom land
to be had,
:34:41
and i'm
a-going to get it.
:34:45
Maybe you will.
:34:53
How old you say
this here mule be?
:34:55
9 year,
but abraham's sound. Yes, he are.
:34:59
He's kind of
pussle-gutted, it appears to me.
