:38:01
I can hear it.
:38:35
I've got the land and now,
I've got the water.
:38:39
The only difference between
a sugar planter and me is money.
:38:44
Don't you want to see me
turn respectable?
:38:47
You're not just asking for a loan?
You're trying to blackmail us.
:38:52
That's right. I'll disgrace you a lot
less as a planter than a beachcomber.
:38:56
- No.
- You'd be broke again next year.
:38:59
There's not money enough
in sugar to pay for irrigation.
:39:02
The water is free.
:39:03
But, not the labour to dig ditches
and keep them open.
:39:06
You know very well,
we'd have to foreclose.
:39:08
You're not a farmer
and certainly not a businessman.
:39:12
I don't know if sugar
will pay or not.
:39:14
But, I've got something nobody
else does, artesian water...
:39:17
and miles of land.
:39:19
Sooner or later,
it's got to be worth money.
:39:22
We can't see the sooner and
we're not interested in the later.
:39:25
Take my advice,
and go back to the sea.
:39:30
I'll see you in hell first.
And be damn glad of the trip.
:39:37
What's the matter, Micah,
cat got your tongue?
:39:43
Pious bastards.
:39:48
Don't you care?
:39:51
Of course i do,
but they're all pirates.
:39:54
They came here, took everything,
and now, they won't part with it.
:39:58
I sure thought they'd fall
off a few points in my direction.
