:25:01
But there's another
possibility.
:25:04
We could drill diagonally
under her land,
:25:07
from the edge
of the creek
:25:08
at this point
on your property.
:25:12
Now, we wouldn't
have to put
:25:13
any hardware
at all on her land.
:25:15
It would probably be easy
to get her permission.
:25:17
Thank you, george.
:25:20
You can leave
the reports here.
:25:26
Thank you.
:25:41
Now what are
you gonna do?
:25:45
Wait her out...
:25:48
and hope, like you do,
that she'll go under.
:25:53
But that could take
quite a while.
:25:55
Yeah, it could.
:25:59
In the meantime...
:26:02
what do i do to protect
my interests from you?
:26:06
If you could stop me,
you would.
:26:10
The only way
to protect myself
:26:13
is to have the ewing ranch in my name.
:26:17
I've gone over
the whole situation.
:26:21
With whom?
:26:24
With hoverton,
with the bank.
:26:28
You talked to hoverton
about taking over my ranch?
:26:33
Well, you don't own
the bank, jacob.
:26:38
There was a time.
:26:41
I'll make it as easy
as i can for you.
:26:44
We'll behave as if you were
still the owner of the ranch.
:26:52
If you were
in my position,
:26:55
and you thought there was a
chance for oil in this valley,
:26:57
wouldn't you protect
yourself by taking it over?
