:29:09
Man, how about that?
:29:14
You going to let them shoot your cows
on account of a schoolbook disease?
:29:19
You getting that old, Homer?
:29:22
I wonder if a long quarantine wouldn't
satisfy 'em. Think they'd agree to that?
:29:27
They don't have to agree to nothing.
They're the law.
:29:30
You can agree with them till hell
freezes over.
:29:34
But that Mr Burris
seemed like a reasonable man.
:29:39
Think they'd come and liquidate?
:29:41
Hell, yeah,
you got what they say you got.
:29:44
You've had 24 of my 34 years working
for you on this ranch,
:29:49
and, Daddy,
you've had top-grade cheap labour.
:29:52
I've shovelled manure for you.
You've got my calluses. For what?
:29:56
Your blessings the day you die?
No, damn it.
:29:59
I want out of this spread
what I put into it.
:30:04
Have you got a proposal, Hud?
:30:06
Get on the phone and sell every cow you
own. They ain't got a chain on you yet.
:30:12
That's how you'd get out of a tight?
:30:15
I can ship the whole herd out
before they begin the test.
:30:18
Try and pass bad stuff off on my
neighbours who wouldn't know?
:30:24
You don't know it's bad stuff.
:30:27
I'll ship 'em up north
before the news gets out.
:30:30
And take a chance on starting
an epidemic in the entire country?
:30:35
This whole country is run on epidemics.
Where've you been?
:30:38
Epidemics of big business price fixing,
crooked TV shows,
:30:42
income-tax finagling,
souped-up expense accounts.
:30:46
How many honest men you know?
:30:49
Take the sinners from the saints,
you're lucky to get Lincoln.
:30:53
I say let's put our bread into
some of that gravy while it is still hot.
