:03:01
the exact location
of that structure
:03:03
without a more complete
seismic record.
:03:05
What he means, ella,
:03:07
is they want
to test for oil.
:03:10
I'm not stupid, virge.
:03:12
I also ain't interested.
:03:13
You ought to know
that by now.
:03:15
Well, i
understand that.
:03:16
But have you given any
thought to what this means?
:03:19
Uh, hell.
:03:21
Hell, i imagine
it means
:03:23
you gonna tear
the earth apart.
:03:27
You know,
ella,
:03:29
i admire you.
:03:32
I've watched you
and your father
:03:35
give everything you had
to this piece of land.
:03:38
Now is your chance
to make it pay.
:03:40
I seen places where
they drill for oil.
:03:46
You better include my partner
over there in these dealings.
:03:48
He's got a mind
of his own.
:03:50
It's not just a question of a
piece of land or an oil company.
:03:53
The war is going
to be over soon,
:03:55
and we're going to have a lot of
building to do. We're going to need
:03:57
more energy than we've
ever needed before.
:03:59
When it comes to the land
over the needs of the people,
:04:01
i think i'd have
to take people anytime.
:04:04
Boy, it sounds to me like
a bunch of speeches i heard
:04:08
when they was tryin' to get
me to re-enlist in the army.
:04:11
They sure
don't seem
:04:13
to have done a hell of
a lot of good, do they?
:04:15
I'm with the lady.
:04:19
You got your
answer, virge.
:04:21
You know, ella...
:04:23
you could lose
this place overnight.
:04:27
Miss connors, i think
i know how you feel.
:04:29
I've dealt with
a lot of ranchers
:04:31
who feel the same way
you both do about the land.
:04:34
Think it over.
:04:36
And good luck
with your roundup.
:04:37
Be seein' you, virge.
:04:45
Hyah! Hyah!
