:56:44
Mornin', ella.
:56:46
Can you spare
a minute?
:56:48
Come in.
:56:50
This here's virge hoverton,
the banker, frank.
:56:53
Guess you know
about frank athearn.
:56:56
Good morning, miss connors, athearn.
:56:59
Pleasure to meet you,
mr. Athearn.
:57:01
This is neil atkinson.
:57:04
I'm sure you've heard
of atko oil.
:57:06
Uh, and this is, uh,
:57:07
george bascomb,
his geologist.
:57:09
Heard you've been
doin' pretty good.
:57:11
Still got a ways
to go though, huh?
:57:14
I don't guess you come up
here to talk about that.
:57:16
You got somethin'
to say,
:57:17
why don't you
just say it?
:57:20
You know,
miss connors,
:57:22
the characteristics
of this valley
:57:24
are almost identical
to what we found
:57:26
in other parts
of this state
:57:28
where there are already substantial
oil fields in production.
:57:31
Why, there could be
a lot of wealth in here.
:57:33
Unfortunately, we can't
really pinpoint
:57:35
the exact location
of that structure
:57:37
without a more complete
seismic record.
:57:39
What he means, ella,
:57:41
is they want
to test for oil.
:57:44
I'm not stupid, virge.
:57:45
I also ain't interested.
:57:47
You ought to know
that by now.
:57:48
Well, i
understand that.
:57:50
But have you given any
thought to what this means?
:57:53
Uh, hell.
:57:55
Hell, i imagine
it means
:57:57
you gonna tear
the earth apart.
