:05:00
That man did everything
anybody could do.
:05:03
He begged and pleaded with her,
but she won't budge an inch.
:05:07
That's the American way of life.
Rugged individualism is our heritage.
:05:13
3000 people sell,
and Ella Garth won't sell.
:05:17
We applaud that spirit,
we admire it, we believe in it,
:05:20
but we must get her out of there.
:05:26
The dam is finished
:05:27
and once they close those gates
and the water starts to rise...
:05:34
Well, we've not only
got to get her out of there,
:05:37
but we must get the land cleared,
the houses and trees down...
:05:41
Be careful!
:05:43
I guess I'm not telling you
anything new.
:05:46
Betty, how would you go about
getting her off the island?
:05:51
I'd let her drown.
:05:55
That's one way.
:05:57
How many...?
:06:00
Is that the island?
:06:02
Everyone of them
bought up except that one.
:06:05
How many Garth's live there?
:06:07
There's many,
but that old women, she's it.
:06:11
They've been told
the island will be flooded?
:06:13
About a million times.
:06:19
I guess I'll go out
and talk to her.
:06:22
You do that.
:06:25
It's not that I think I can talk
any better than the others,
:06:30
but I think we often underestimate
the intelligence of people.
:06:35
We can talk to them
and they'll listen.
:06:39
Well...
:06:42
Well, what?
:06:44
Let's see how you feel
in a few days.
:06:51
I'm off to see the Mayor.
:06:54
He's in charge of
clearing the land.
:06:57
Wish me luck.
