:10:02
This is my son, Cal.
:10:05
When you were his age,
I imagine you thought it only right...
:10:08
to let your father know
before you stayed out all night.
:10:11
Or at least to offer some kind
of apology when you did come home.
:10:14
ADAM: Well, times change.
:10:17
As I was saying,
a mastodon is a kind of elephant.
:10:21
Hasn't lived on the Earth for a long while.
:10:23
- And the meat was still fresh?
- Sweet as a pork chop.
:10:26
You're more excited about this
than you've been for a long time.
:10:30
Now, I seem to be, don't I?
:10:32
See, Will, I've been sort of
in a rut out there in the ranch.
:10:35
- Sixteen, 17 years, I've kept out of things.
- I know.
:10:39
But now I feel that
if I could only do something...
:10:42
some little thing for, before I die,
some little thing for progress...
:10:47
for people, maybe.
Call it anything you want.
:10:50
I might make up for all the years
I've been lying fallow.
:10:53
So, lately I've been reading up all I can
about refrigeration.
:10:57
And I can't get it out of my head
that you can keep anything good...
:11:01
as long as you can get it cold enough.
Like that mastodon there.
:11:05
- Good afternoon, Abra.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Trask.
:11:07
ABRA: Hello, Mr. Hamilton.
WlLL: Hello.
:11:09
ADAM: Hello, Son.
ARON: Hi, Dad.
:11:10
Now my son, Aron, that is,
thinks I may have a good idea here.
:11:14
Dad wrapped a head of lettuce
in wax paper...
:11:16
and kept it in our icebox
for over three weeks...
:11:19
and it still came out fresh and good.
Right?
:11:21
Quite right, Son.
:11:22
- Dad, is it all right if we look around?
- 'Course, Aron. Belongs to us now.
:11:28
Do you know where the biggest market
for vegetables is in the winter?
:11:31
WlLL: Where?
ADAM: New York City.
:11:33
And they can't raise them there.
:11:35
But the railroad had promised me
those fruit cars.
:11:39
Don't you have anything to say to me, Cal?
:11:42
CAL: Yeah.
ADAM: It's about time. Well?
:11:46
I read in the Monterey newspaper...
:11:49
that if we get into this war...
:11:52
there are gonna be some fortunes made.
:11:55
But you're gonna make them
in beans and corn, and stuff like that.
