:31:01
Now, you look a-here.
:31:02
You've had 24 of my 34 years
working for you on this ranch,
:31:06
and, Daddy, you have had
top-grade cheap labor.
:31:09
I shoveled manure
out of barns for you.
:31:11
You got my calluses, for what?
:31:13
Your blessings the day you die?
:31:15
Now, damn it, I want
out of this spread
:31:18
what I put into it.
:31:21
Well, you got a proposal
to make to me, Hud?
:31:23
You get on the
telephone tonight
:31:25
and sell every breed cow
you own.
:31:26
They haven't got
a chain on you yet.
:31:31
Would that be your way
to getting out of a tight?
:31:33
Well, I can ship
the whole herd out
:31:35
before they begin the test.
:31:36
You mean, try and pass
bad stuff off on my neighbors,
:31:41
who wouldn't even know
what they was getting?
:31:43
Eh, you don't know
it's bad stuff.
:31:46
Aw, ship them out of state,
:31:47
unload them up north
before the news gets out.
:31:49
And take a chance
on starting an epidemic
:31:52
in the entire country.
:31:53
Why, this whole country
is run on epidemics!
:31:56
Where you been?
:31:58
Epidemics are big business--
:31:59
price-fixing,
crooked TV shows,
:32:02
income tax finagling,
souped up expense accounts.
:32:05
How many honest men you know?
:32:09
You take the sinners
away from the saints,
:32:10
you're lucky to end up
with Abraham Lincoln.
:32:13
So I say, let's us
put our bread
:32:14
in some of that gravy
while it is still hot.
:32:22
You're an unprincipled man, Hud.
:32:32
Well, don't let that fuss you.
:32:33
I mean, you've got enough
for both of us.
