1:22:00
I guess the tests are done.
1:22:03
Yes, sir, they're done.
1:22:08
You got the worst thing
you could have.
1:22:16
And there's no cure
at all?
1:22:19
None we know of.
1:22:21
It's like a bolt of lightning--
1:22:22
it won't hurt you till it hits,
then it hurts a lot.
1:22:25
Your cows are
public enemies now.
1:22:27
You gotta handle
this thing fast
1:22:28
before it spreads.
1:22:30
Well, what do I do?
1:22:32
Just drive them into a pit
and shoot 'em?
1:22:34
I can't abide that.
1:22:36
I know it's a terrible
thing even to think about.
1:22:38
I've seen it
during the Depression.
1:22:41
It's a sight worse to see
than it is to think about.
1:22:44
Look here, Mr. Bannon,
you're getting up in years.
1:22:46
You can afford
to slow down.
1:22:48
The rest won't hurt
your grass any.
1:22:50
You might even sell
a few oil leases.
1:22:51
My daddy thinks that oil
1:22:53
is something you stick
in your salad dressing.
1:22:57
If there's oil down there,
you can get it sucked up
1:23:00
after I'm under there with it.
1:23:02
But I don't like it,
and I don't aim to have it.
1:23:04
There'll be no holes
punched in this land
1:23:06
while I'm here.
1:23:08
They ain't going to come in
and grade no road
1:23:10
so the wind
can blow me away.
1:23:13
That's all to me.
1:23:17
What can I do with
a bunch of rotten oil wells?
1:23:20
I can't ride out every day
and prowl amongst them,
1:23:24
like I can my cattle.
1:23:26
I can't breed them
or tend them or rope them
1:23:29
or chase them or nothing.
1:23:32
I can't feel
a smidgen of pride in them.
1:23:34
'Cause they ain't
none of my doing.
1:23:36
There's money in it.
1:23:41
I don't want that kind of money.
1:23:43
I want mine to come
1:23:45
from something that keeps a man
doing for himself.
