:18:01
Now, Miss Hollis, you know as well
as I do the State of Louisiana...

:18:04
requisitioned this whole area, includin'
your house, more than six months ago.

:18:08
Just because some old fool in Baton Rouge
signed a little bitty piece of paper...

:18:11
doesn't make it so.
:18:13
Nobody ever asked me
to sign anything...

:18:15
and nobody's gonna
tear down my house...

:18:18
to build a piddlin' bridge
or anything else.

:18:20
So you just clear off
my property once and for all!

:18:23
I don't know.
Some folks seem to think...

:18:25
they got a natural-born right
to get away with murder.

:18:30
Hey, look out!
:18:43
You sure had yourself a good time today,
didn't you, missy?

:18:47
You just cool down now.
:18:54
What are you gonna do, boss?
:18:57
I'm goin' into town, and you keep
those boys out of sight till I get back.

:19:00
- Okay, boss.
- I'll bring that sheriff back out here...

:19:02
in a half hour
if I have to drag him out.

:19:07
Ah. You fixed things up for fair.
:19:11
Come on. Come on.
:19:13
But they're gonna dig up the graves.
Papa's grave.

:19:17
They wasn't within
100 feet of them graves.

:19:19
Anyhow, they're fixin'
to tear down the whole house.

:19:21
I don't see what difference
plowin' up the grounds is gonna make.

:19:24
Come on.
Come on, now.

:19:28
They offered to move your pappy's remains.
You should've let 'em.

:19:31
They can't do him any harm now.
:19:35
Now, go on in there
and get yourself quieted down.

:19:40
You've done enough
for one day.

:19:46
Let me tell you somethin',
:19:48
Ain't gonna be but a half an hour
before that sheriff comes over here.

:19:53
So you get yourself
dressed up real pretty...

:19:56
and you come on downstairs
and get your breakfast.
