:23:20
That's the strongest brandy
I ever had.
:23:24
It must've come right out
of Tiger Tail brook.
:23:27
Young man, Mr. Vacarro...
:23:30
this is a mighty fine party
you're throwing tonight...
:23:32
in honour of your first anniversary
as manager of the syndicate gin.
:23:38
Just a minute there, sonny,
hold it.
:23:41
I've got something I ought
to get off my chest.
:23:46
Us good neighbours appreciate...
:23:48
Just a second.
:23:50
Gentlemen, there'll be
a fish fry Saturday night.
:23:54
Catfish, hush puppies,
dancing...
:23:57
bring your ladies.
:24:01
You go right on.
:24:02
I want you to know us neighbours
appreciate your achievement...
:24:06
in bringing in the biggest
cotton crop ever picked...
:24:09
on this blessed soil
of Tiger Tail County.
:24:12
Senator, my old dad once said...
:24:15
"Blessed is he who has nothing to say
and cannot be persuaded to say it".
:24:19
A couple of boys
don't look too happy.
:24:21
They've no reason to be.
You put them out of business.
:24:24
- They've got plenty of good liquor.
- I'll drink my own.
:24:33
When you first came here...
:24:35
I'll admit us old-timers
we a bit standoffish.
:24:39
We didn't know you all that well.
:24:42
Naturally, what's profitable to some
is unprofitable to others.
:24:47
As the fella says, one man's meat
is another man's poison.
:24:51
We all know some folks here
have suffered financially...
:24:55
due in some way to this man's success
with his syndicate plantation...
:24:59
but as a whole, the community
stands to reap a nice fat profit.
