:09:08
And in no time, no time, mind you...
:09:10
they'd snapped up every piece of land
that was worth having...
:09:13
and by nightfall...
By nightfall there wasn't an acre.
:09:16
Think of it, Louis, not an acre
left out of that two million.
:09:19
The only spot I wanted
was the ground we stood on, and...
:09:22
Well, the girl got that quarter section.
:09:25
Yancey Cravat...
:09:27
you let that hussy in black tights
have your claim...
:09:30
after having been gone a whole month,
away from your wife and child.
:09:35
- Now, Mama...
- Don't you "Mama" me.
:09:37
Isaiah, go on with your fanning.
:09:40
Yes, Mrs. Venable.
:09:44
- Well?
- The land was hers by right of claim.
:09:46
I don't believe a word of it.
Why did you let her keep your land?
:09:49
ItÂ’d been a man, I could have shot him.
You can't shoot a woman.
:09:52
- Why not?
- Oh, Felice.
:09:53
I don't suppose you'd recognize the lady
without her black tights.
:09:58
"Let there be no strife
between thee and me."
:10:01
That's from the Old Testament, Dabney.
You may not recognize that.
:10:04
It's all tommyrot.
:10:06
Perhaps now, Yancey,
you'll stop this ranting up and down...
:10:08
and be content to settle down
here in Wichita...
:10:10
run that newspaper of yours, and conduct
your law practice, such as it is...
:10:14
with no more talk of Oklahoma.
:10:16
Don't you realize
that this is a new empire?
:10:18
Why, folks, there's never been
anything like it since Creation.
:10:22
Creation? That took six days,
this was done in one.
:10:27
History made in an hour. Why, it's like
a miracle out of the Old Testament.
:10:31
- Don't be blasphemous, Yancey.
- Like a miracle out of the Old Testament.
:10:35
Cities of ten thousands,
springing up overnight.
:10:38
Well, I'm going back.
:10:41
I'm going back and help build a new state
out of the last frontier of the nation...
:10:45
and it'll be a state someday,
mark my words.
:10:47
Yancey, you're not leaving me again?
:10:50
Leaving you, my beauty?
Not by a long shot, sugar.
:10:55
This time you and Cim
are coming with me.
