:49:02
He ain't just saying, "Take my offer. "
He's saying, "Take it or else. "
:49:07
We're family men.
We're no match for seven guns.
:49:10
Yeah, but how many of us are there?
Twenty?
:49:15
I heard the preacher.
I know these men are professionals.
:49:18
But it's still twenty against seven, ain't it?
:49:22
And we know how to pull
a damn trigger, don't we?
:49:27
If it comes down to it,
I'll fight before I'll quit my claim...
:49:32
...but, damn it, LaHood's offer's fair.
:49:35
I still vote we take his money
and we start afresh elsewhere.
:49:39
Starting fresh sounds good
when you're in trouble...
:49:42
...but before we vote to pack up
and leave...
:49:46
...I think we should ask why we're here.
:49:48
If it's no more than money,
then we're no better than LaHood himself.
:49:54
Spider here asked a question.
:49:56
If any of us turned up $1,000 worth
of nuggets, would he quit? Hell, no!
:50:01
He'd build his family a better house...
:50:03
...and buy his kids better clothes...
:50:08
...maybe build a school...
:50:10
...or a church.
:50:12
If we were farmers, we'd be planting crops.
:50:15
If we raised cattle, we'd tend them.
But we're miners...
:50:18
...so we dig and pan...
:50:20
...and break our backs for gold.
:50:22
But gold ain't what we're about.
It ain't what I'm about.
:50:28
I came out here to raise a family.
This is my home.
:50:32
This is my dream. I've sunk roots here.
:50:36
And we all have buried members
of our families in this ground.
:50:42
And this is their dream, too,
and they died for it.
:50:45
Now we're going to take $1,000
and leave their graves untended?
:50:50
We owe them more than that.
:50:53
We owe ourselves more.
:50:56
If we sell out now...
