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.
1:46:02
What honest people?
1:46:04
He'll have to sign
offiicial papers.
1:46:07
And if he doesn't pay on time...
1:46:10
they take his farm.
1:46:14
All right,
now leave us alone.
1:46:28
There's something good
and something bad.
1:46:31
The bad part is,
if he gets 4,000 francs...
1:46:35
his venture may succeed
next summer.
1:46:37
On the other hand,
since he's a born loser...
1:46:42
many things can go wrong.
1:46:46
And dynamite and drinking
don't mix.
1:46:52
In any case,
whoever owns the mortgage wins.
1:46:57
So, I'll fiinance
his mortgage myself.
