You're out of money-- that's no crime.
But you're skimping.

1:44:04
Eating rabbit and dandelion
leaves you too weak for this work.

1:44:09
Then you drink
too much red wine.

1:44:14
One day you'll just drop dead.
1:44:17
How will your wife
and daughter manage then?

1:44:23
They haven't been looking
too well lately.

1:44:26
I've noticed.
1:44:42
What's this farm worth?
1:44:44
To rent or sell?
1:44:46
To sell.
1:44:47
just a minute.
1:44:50
It's hard to say.
I hadn't thought about it.

1:44:53
It's no summer residence...
1:44:55
and without water,
it's no use to a farmer.

1:45:01
The second cistern
will add to its value.

1:45:04
Maybe. Maybe.
1:45:07
Seven thousand.
1:45:10
Is that all?
1:45:15
Let's say eight thousand.
1:45:17
You wouldn't sell
your mother's house!

1:45:21
The price
is perfectly reasonable.

1:45:23
It means I can ask our notary
for a 4,000 franc mortgage!

1:45:28
Then you're not selling?
1:45:29
Never!
1:45:31
I'll never sell the house
where I hope to live forever...

1:45:35
once we're rich!
1:45:37
We can manage quite well
on 4,000 francs!

1:45:40
I'll buy a mule and some
mining tools and dynamite...

1:45:46
to blast this damn rock!
1:45:48
In a year I'll pay off the mortgage
and we'll be set.

1:45:55
You know what a mortgage is?
1:45:57
It's when a notary lends money
to honest people who own property.
