Deliverance

:00:08

You wanna talk about
the vanishing wilderness?

:00:10

Why are you so anxious about this?

:00:12

Because they're building a dam
across the Cahulawasse River.

:00:15

They're gonna flood a whole valley, Bobby.

:00:18

They're drowning the river, man.

:00:24

- We're talkin' to you.
- All right.

:00:26

Just about the last wild, untamed,
unpolluted, unfucked-up river in the South.

:00:32

- Don't you understand?
- We understand.

:00:35

There ain't gonna be no more river.
Just gonna be a big, dead lake.

:00:40

It's a very clean way
to make electric power.

:00:42

Those lakes provide many people
with recreation.

:00:45

My father-in-law has a houseboat
on Lake Bowie.

:00:53

You push a little more power into Atlanta...

:00:55

... a little more air conditioners
for your smug little suburb...

:00:59

... and you know what's gonna happen?
They're gonna rape this whole landscape.

:01:02

They're gonna rape it.

:01:05

- That's an extreme point of view, Lewis.
- It is.

:01:08

Extremist.

:01:45

We're gonna leave Friday from Atlanta.

:01:47

I'm gonna have you back
in your little suburban house...

:01:51

... in time to see the football game
on Sunday afternoon.

:01:54

I know you'll be back in time to see
the pompom girls at halftime.

:01:57

I know that's all you care about.

:01:59

Lewis, I wanna thank you.
