: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.

:12:01
- You don't need all this ice.
- You're perfectly right.

:12:04
Beans are up to 3 cents.
:12:05
You wanna make a profit, you plant beans.
:12:07
CAL: And they keep, too, don't they?
:12:09
But I'm not particularly interested
in making a profit, Cal.

:12:15
[Serious instrumental music]
:12:19
ADAM: Look here, Will.
:12:20
I'm not an inventor nor a scientist...
:12:23
but I know I have an idea here.
:12:26
WlLL: I come from a family of inventors.
People full of ideas like this one.

:12:29
I'm the only one that didn't have an idea...
:12:32
and the only one that ever made a dime.
:12:33
WlLL: You wanna make a profit,
you plant beans.

:12:36
ADAM: Put out that cigarette!
That place is full of sawdust!

:12:42
- Come on, Adam, he's just thoughtless.
- Thoughtless? He's inconsiderate.

:12:47
I don't know.
I'm at my rope's end with that boy.

:12:49
I don't understand him. I never have.
:12:51
ADAM: Aron I've understood
since he was a child.

:12:58
ABRA: Help me up.
