1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:03,535
(relaxed violin tones)

2
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:05,230
(soft country guitar music)

3
00:01:22,216 --> 00:01:26,285
(machinery whirring)

4
00:01:29,356 --> 00:01:34,359
(wind howling)

5
00:02:17,738 --> 00:02:21,573
(machinery clanking)

6
00:03:18,832 --> 00:03:20,532
(woman hooting)

7
00:03:43,224 --> 00:03:46,558
Hey boy, you that
new Bison hand?

8
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,726
That's right.

9
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:49,361
Throw your shit in
the back of the truck

10
00:03:49,363 --> 00:03:51,597
and get your ass in here, we
ain't got all day, come on.

11
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:54,399
(engine humming)

12
00:03:57,938 --> 00:03:59,004
YY Pucketts.

13
00:04:01,008 --> 00:04:03,408
Jim McNeely.
[YY] Good to meet you.

14
00:04:05,813 --> 00:04:07,846
How long you been
working for Bison?

15
00:04:08,816 --> 00:04:09,948
Shit, I've been with these

16
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:11,516
son-bitches since they started.

17
00:04:11,518 --> 00:04:13,952
Funded by some old rich
outfit up there outta Dallas

18
00:04:13,954 --> 00:04:15,954
that don't know shit
between goddamn air.

19
00:04:15,956 --> 00:04:17,623
Hell them son a bitches
I've been doing this still

20
00:04:17,625 --> 00:04:20,492
for forever started out just
like where you're starting.

21
00:04:20,494 --> 00:04:22,828
You a weevil?
[Jim] A what?

22
00:04:22,830 --> 00:04:25,430
A boll-weevil, somebody
who don't know shit.

23
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:28,033
That's a fella that ain't
never been out to an oil patch.

24
00:04:28,035 --> 00:04:30,569
[Jim] What do you
reckon I'll be doing?

25
00:04:30,571 --> 00:04:32,337
The first thing they're
gonna do is they're

26
00:04:32,339 --> 00:04:34,039
gonna have your ass out there
goddamn diggin' ditches.

27
00:04:34,041 --> 00:04:35,474
The next thing they gonna have

28
00:04:35,476 --> 00:04:36,908
you do is buckin'up
four inch pipe.

29
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:38,777
You get ready to get
a dose of that shit.

30
00:04:38,779 --> 00:04:41,680
I used to have two nuts, now
both of 'em's up my belly.

31
00:04:43,884 --> 00:04:45,484
I'll tell you right now,
you'll need to

32
00:04:45,486 --> 00:04:46,752
the break quarter and lay down.

33
00:04:46,753 --> 00:04:48,019
I've seen guys didn't
bathe for four days

34
00:04:48,022 --> 00:04:51,390
they was so god-dang
tired to get in there.

35
00:04:51,392 --> 00:04:53,825
Thank you kindly
for the ride, YY.

36
00:04:53,827 --> 00:04:55,761
You can thank me in two weeks.

37
00:04:56,897 --> 00:04:59,898
Do me a favor son, you
tell that Cap Bruner

38
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:03,335
that YY Pucketts said
to go fuck himself!

39
00:05:03,337 --> 00:05:04,403
(laughing)

40
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:06,571
Oh, wait.

41
00:05:07,408 --> 00:05:08,373
Hold up!

42
00:05:19,386 --> 00:05:20,419
(knocks)

43
00:05:20,421 --> 00:05:22,421
Hello.

44
00:05:22,423 --> 00:05:23,689
Name's McNeely.

45
00:05:23,691 --> 00:05:25,757
Hell, I know who you are.

46
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:27,859
Another favor from corporate.

47
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:32,998
Well I'm Dent Paxton,
a friend to all men

48
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,600
so long as they don't
ask anything of me.

49
00:05:35,602 --> 00:05:37,903
Well I'm here, what do I do?

50
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:41,640
You can write, I presume?

51
00:05:47,381 --> 00:05:52,451
You'll be in bunkhouse 1,
bunk number 3, you got that?

52
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,754
Okay, now it's time
for the free lecture.

53
00:05:55,756 --> 00:05:58,123
Welcome to jolly Camp Dead Lake

54
00:05:58,125 --> 00:06:01,526
of that great octopus,
the Bison Oil Company.

55
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:03,929
Our sole purpose out here
is to get that stinkin'

56
00:06:03,931 --> 00:06:06,531
crude oil out of the
ground and move it on down

57
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:09,935
the pipeline where it can be
made into gasoline and dollars.

58
00:06:09,937 --> 00:06:13,605
You'll be assigned to Cap
Bruner's gang, God help you.

59
00:06:13,607 --> 00:06:16,608
That's the connection gang,
they do the oil field plumbing.

60
00:06:18,679 --> 00:06:20,779
It don't sound so bad.

61
00:06:20,781 --> 00:06:23,415
Buddy, I don't know
what you've been doing

62
00:06:23,417 --> 00:06:26,084
but whatever it is, I guarantee
you it's better than this.

63
00:06:27,087 --> 00:06:30,489
My advice to you
is run like hell

64
00:06:30,491 --> 00:06:32,391
because you'll either
get run off in a week

65
00:06:32,393 --> 00:06:33,792
or what's worse, you'll
want to prove you're

66
00:06:33,794 --> 00:06:36,862
a real tough character and
get indentured for life.

67
00:06:36,864 --> 00:06:40,866
Look, I ain't planning
on gettin' run off

68
00:06:40,868 --> 00:06:44,936
or becoming anybody's slave,
I got plans of my own.

69
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:47,139
Well tough titty
buddy, all hopes

70
00:06:47,141 --> 00:06:49,541
and illusions are blasted
to pieces out here.

71
00:06:49,543 --> 00:06:51,843
Fair warning, go back
to where you came from.

72
00:06:54,548 --> 00:06:56,148
I got no place to go back to.

73
00:07:03,624 --> 00:07:07,659
(relaxed violin music)

74
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:10,762
[Mazie] Jim McNeely,
you better wait for me.

75
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:19,704
[Madelon] I gather you think
you are in love with Mazie.

76
00:07:19,706 --> 00:07:22,541
It ain't a thinking matter
Mrs. Wales, I know I am.

77
00:07:26,747 --> 00:07:27,379
Listen Jim,

78
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:28,012
I don't think it's for the best

79
00:07:28,015 --> 00:07:30,182
that you and Mazie
see one another.

80
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:38,824
[Peaches] What the hell?

81
00:07:38,826 --> 00:07:41,092
Who's that layin' up
in your best, Buster?

82
00:07:41,094 --> 00:07:44,529
Look, he's got his fucking
shoes on in my bed.

83
00:07:44,531 --> 00:07:47,833
You keep your goddamn dirty
clodhoppers off my sheets.

84
00:07:47,835 --> 00:07:49,167
(laughs)

85
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:50,602
Hey, what's the idea?

86
00:07:50,604 --> 00:07:53,038
The clerk feller told
me to take bunk three.

87
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,973
That queer don't know shit.

88
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:59,044
This boll-weevil must be one
of them college athletes.

89
00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:01,613
He looks like a little
two-bit hotshot to me.

90
00:08:02,883 --> 00:08:03,982
Ain't that right?

91
00:08:05,619 --> 00:08:07,252
Hotshot, you got
dirt in those ears?

92
00:08:07,254 --> 00:08:09,221
[Jim] I answer to
the name McNeely.

93
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:13,058
[Buster] Know your goddamn
place, you stay down.

94
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:14,660
Get off him.

95
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:16,261
[Buster] You leave
this bunk be, hotshot.

96
00:08:22,069 --> 00:08:23,001
Go on.

97
00:08:25,939 --> 00:08:27,639
Assholes.

98
00:08:27,641 --> 00:08:30,709
(soft violin tones)

99
00:08:31,078 --> 00:08:32,143
(rock hits sheet metal)

100
00:08:42,656 --> 00:08:44,523
[Jim] I got plans.

101
00:08:44,525 --> 00:08:46,691
[Mrs. Wales] Face
the facts, Jim.

102
00:08:47,928 --> 00:08:49,794
You're a checker in a
grocery store and that is

103
00:08:49,796 --> 00:08:53,198
all you're equipped by
background or education to be.

104
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,867
Piece of shit.

105
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:56,535
[Mrs. Wales] I want
you to see my husband.

106
00:08:57,538 --> 00:08:59,271
He has important friends,

107
00:08:59,273 --> 00:09:01,273
he'll get you a
good job somewhere.

108
00:09:02,976 --> 00:09:05,010
Perhaps out in the oil fields.

109
00:09:05,012 --> 00:09:06,011
(screams)

110
00:09:08,282 --> 00:09:12,017
(anxious music chord rising)

111
00:09:12,019 --> 00:09:15,220
(men grunting)

112
00:09:23,997 --> 00:09:24,930
Ort!

113
00:09:25,832 --> 00:09:26,998
Take that boll-weevil

114
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,801
and get to piss-antin'
them joints.

115
00:09:30,837 --> 00:09:33,004
By God, you'd best
keep up today.

116
00:09:36,209 --> 00:09:39,210
Just hook your hand in
the belt, do like I do.

117
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:42,347
When I say hump,
heister-up and take off.

118
00:09:42,349 --> 00:09:44,683
Ain't nothin' but back and guts.

119
00:09:44,685 --> 00:09:46,284
All right.
Here we go.

120
00:09:46,286 --> 00:09:47,152
Hump.

121
00:09:47,154 --> 00:09:48,286
(grunts)

122
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:49,354
Step back!

123
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,826
Looks like hotshot's eyes

124
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:57,362
gonna bug out of
his fucking head.

125
00:09:57,364 --> 00:09:59,297
Why don't you go ahead
and check him, Peaches?

126
00:10:01,301 --> 00:10:03,368
Goddamn you sorry
ass boll-weevil.

127
00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:06,771
Are you trying to
get somebody killed?

128
00:10:14,081 --> 00:10:15,013
(grunts)

129
00:10:20,354 --> 00:10:21,286
(grunting)

130
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:25,890
(grunting)

131
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:34,899
(anxious violin music)

132
00:10:34,901 --> 00:10:35,934
(grunts)

133
00:10:37,104 --> 00:10:38,036
(shrieks)

134
00:10:53,387 --> 00:10:57,656
(crickets chirping)

135
00:11:14,775 --> 00:11:16,307
[Jim] What gives,
you little rat?

136
00:11:16,309 --> 00:11:18,243
That's right, I'm a little rat

137
00:11:18,245 --> 00:11:20,311
and this little rat'll bite ya.

138
00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:22,847
(slap)

139
00:11:22,849 --> 00:11:24,983
(grunts)

140
00:11:32,292 --> 00:11:35,860
(mechanical creaking)

141
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:39,164
(relaxed violin music)

142
00:12:06,993 --> 00:12:09,194
Move your ass, boll-weevil.

143
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:16,267
[Ort] Come on.

144
00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:17,268
Come on.

145
00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:19,404
There ya go.

146
00:12:19,406 --> 00:12:21,439
All right everybody
up, let's go.

147
00:12:25,378 --> 00:12:29,347
(relaxed country guitar music)

148
00:12:58,411 --> 00:13:01,246
[Cap] All right,
that's breeeeak!

149
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,850
Yeah, not you McNeely.

150
00:13:08,488 --> 00:13:11,956
(relaxed violin music)

151
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,561
Been expecting you,
just didn't know when.

152
00:13:50,864 --> 00:13:52,397
You win.

153
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:54,599
I win, do I get a trophy?

154
00:13:54,601 --> 00:13:57,335
You said it,
nothing here for me.

155
00:13:57,337 --> 00:13:58,653
[Dent] Look.

156
00:13:58,654 --> 00:13:59,970
Personally I don't give a damn.

157
00:13:59,973 --> 00:14:02,941
It's completely
immaterial to me.

158
00:14:02,943 --> 00:14:04,609
But I hate to give
those Neanderthal

159
00:14:04,611 --> 00:14:06,544
bastards the pleasure
of running you off.

160
00:14:06,546 --> 00:14:07,946
I can't do it.

161
00:14:07,948 --> 00:14:09,614
[Dent] You came here
with something to prove.

162
00:14:10,951 --> 00:14:13,418
Now I don't know to who

163
00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:15,086
but I do see it in you.

164
00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:18,423
Besides...

165
00:14:19,926 --> 00:14:21,926
you don't have
anything to go back to.

166
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:30,268
Sit down.

167
00:14:50,957 --> 00:14:52,557
Can I get a raise?

168
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:55,026
(Dent chuckles)

169
00:14:55,028 --> 00:14:59,230
(slow tempo country
guitar tones)

170
00:15:02,002 --> 00:15:03,468
[Cap] All right,
puttin' you in pairs

171
00:15:03,470 --> 00:15:06,070
today and see if we can't
spread out the line.

172
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:08,006
Cotton, you go with Scrap.

173
00:15:08,608 --> 00:15:10,275
Buster,

174
00:15:10,277 --> 00:15:11,542
you've got Jim.

175
00:15:22,155 --> 00:15:24,088
You're going down, hotshot.

176
00:15:26,092 --> 00:15:29,360
(anxious guitar tones)

177
00:15:35,502 --> 00:15:37,235
Buster, can I talk to you?

178
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:46,945
Hot damn, that
must've stung good.

179
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:54,085
Somehow you've got the idea
that you need to break me.

180
00:15:54,087 --> 00:15:56,087
You're gonna leave me be

181
00:15:56,089 --> 00:15:59,424
from here on out,
if you wanna live.

182
00:15:59,426 --> 00:16:04,495
Don't think I'm gonna fight
you fair. That I won't do.

183
00:16:06,199 --> 00:16:08,166
And you got something
to say to me,

184
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:12,236
you call me by my
name. That's McNeely.

185
00:16:12,238 --> 00:16:15,373
(guttural screaming)

186
00:16:22,082 --> 00:16:26,217
(mid tempo country guitar music)

187
00:16:41,267 --> 00:16:42,200
Buster!

188
00:16:44,137 --> 00:16:46,070
Shut up, you little rat.

189
00:16:46,072 --> 00:16:47,739
¶ Call my black cat back

190
00:16:47,741 --> 00:16:50,375
(laughs)

191
00:16:50,377 --> 00:16:55,446
¶ Well I get up on Monday and
I call my black cat back ¶

192
00:16:57,717 --> 00:16:59,484
¶ My black cat comes a-running

193
00:16:59,486 --> 00:17:02,754
¶ And the hound
dogs, they get back ¶

194
00:17:02,756 --> 00:17:06,391
¶ Get back, way back

195
00:17:19,706 --> 00:17:21,139
Howdy fellas.

196
00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:23,474
You a boll-weevil?

197
00:17:23,476 --> 00:17:26,110
Nah, I'm Clayton
LeMane the Third.

198
00:17:27,747 --> 00:17:28,713
Jim McNeely.

199
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:30,615
Damn good to meet ya, Jim.

200
00:17:30,617 --> 00:17:33,418
Quit your fraternizing
Stabber and get back to work.

201
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:36,554
Just like I was saying
Mr. LeMane, there's

202
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:38,723
a lot to gettin' a days work
out of a bunch of hands.

203
00:17:38,725 --> 00:17:40,591
[Clayton] That sure is good
to know Captain,

204
00:17:40,593 --> 00:17:42,593
seeing as I'm a hand now too.

205
00:17:42,595 --> 00:17:44,062
I'll be sure to
put in a word

206
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:46,130
with my uncle for how
amiable you've been.

207
00:17:49,069 --> 00:17:52,670
(soft country guitar music)

208
00:17:54,274 --> 00:17:57,475
Pay up son, them beers
don't buy themselves.

209
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:03,514
You know why I'm
so poor and measly?

210
00:18:03,516 --> 00:18:05,716
Because my daddy was such
a tight old son of a bitch,

211
00:18:05,718 --> 00:18:08,853
he used to pay me 10
cents not to have supper.

212
00:18:08,855 --> 00:18:10,421
Then that bastard
would charge me

213
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:12,824
a dime every morning
for breakfast.

214
00:18:12,826 --> 00:18:14,826
Meanest man there ever were.

215
00:18:14,828 --> 00:18:16,494
It's a wonder I growed at all.

216
00:18:16,496 --> 00:18:18,096
Pity you did, you old liar.

217
00:18:19,165 --> 00:18:21,566
No sir, I ain't lying,
that there I know.

218
00:18:21,568 --> 00:18:24,435
(horse neighing)

219
00:18:27,774 --> 00:18:29,841
Oh Lord, here she comes.

220
00:18:31,411 --> 00:18:32,877
Hi Dent.
Ma'am.

221
00:18:35,248 --> 00:18:37,148
Hey ma'am, what can I get?

222
00:18:37,150 --> 00:18:40,651
Boy, I am in love with
that engineer's wife.

223
00:18:40,653 --> 00:18:42,587
You are just a randy old goat,

224
00:18:42,589 --> 00:18:44,155
what do you know about love?

225
00:18:44,157 --> 00:18:45,723
When you sack up with
someone you still wanna

226
00:18:45,725 --> 00:18:48,459
kiss her in the morning when
you're through, that is it.

227
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:49,827
You better shut your trap.

228
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:51,329
If Clyde Montgomery hears
you talking that way

229
00:18:51,331 --> 00:18:53,831
about his wife, you'll
be outta camp yesterday.

230
00:18:53,833 --> 00:18:56,234
I bet she flangs
that silly Montgomery

231
00:18:56,236 --> 00:18:59,270
around 'til he don't
know which way west is.

232
00:18:59,272 --> 00:19:01,606
[Jim] She sure is
something to look at.

233
00:19:01,608 --> 00:19:04,142
Yeah but lookin' at it
ain't getting it, now is it?

234
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:05,543
Which reminds me fellas,

235
00:19:05,545 --> 00:19:08,212
I got some business
to transact in Odessa.

236
00:19:08,214 --> 00:19:10,515
Take the strain off.

237
00:19:10,517 --> 00:19:11,449
Adios.

238
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:15,186
[Dent] If they
cut his head open,

239
00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:18,156
wouldn't nothing come out
but a pile of cockroaches.

240
00:19:18,158 --> 00:19:19,657
Ain't that the truth.

241
00:19:24,864 --> 00:19:26,697
Excuse me, ma'am.

242
00:19:26,699 --> 00:19:27,832
Bye Dent.

243
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:28,766
Ma'am.

244
00:19:35,341 --> 00:19:36,607
Mm-mm.

245
00:19:38,211 --> 00:19:38,943
Hm.

246
00:19:43,883 --> 00:19:45,449
(machinery clanking)

247
00:19:45,451 --> 00:19:48,686
(relaxed violin music)

248
00:19:51,391 --> 00:19:52,456
[Jim] What are
you doing out here

249
00:19:52,458 --> 00:19:54,525
so far from the other rigs?

250
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:56,593
[Barry] I'm seeing if this
wildcat's worth drilling.

251
00:19:56,596 --> 00:19:57,828
The damn lease is
about to expire,

252
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:59,597
so I gotta see what's
going on underneath.

253
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:02,833
I'm a geologist for Bison,
name's Barry Wakely.

254
00:20:02,835 --> 00:20:04,302
Barry,

255
00:20:04,304 --> 00:20:05,636
Jim, Jim McNeely.

256
00:20:06,673 --> 00:20:08,539
We cut the damn hole.

257
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:11,976
Now it's time to see how smart
or how dumb we really are.

258
00:20:11,978 --> 00:20:15,813
We can pay more
money to complete the
well or shut her in.

259
00:20:15,815 --> 00:20:17,815
Who makes that decision?

260
00:20:17,817 --> 00:20:19,350
Me, that's who.

261
00:20:19,352 --> 00:20:20,651
Me and this swab test.

262
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:22,486
Oou.

263
00:20:32,665 --> 00:20:35,266
It's oil.
[Barry] Yeah, that's oil.

264
00:20:35,935 --> 00:20:37,401
Glad I checked.

265
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:38,269
(laughs)

266
00:20:39,806 --> 00:20:42,273
[Jim] Ever thought about
going out on your own?

267
00:20:43,476 --> 00:20:44,675
I've thought about it.

268
00:20:46,679 --> 00:20:48,279
Well if you run
across an oil field

269
00:20:48,281 --> 00:20:51,315
nobody's found yet, maybe
you and I can grab it.

270
00:20:51,317 --> 00:20:51,949
Coker field.

271
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:56,287
As in Coker City?

272
00:20:56,289 --> 00:20:58,422
The old codger
won't lease it out.

273
00:20:58,424 --> 00:21:00,558
Convince him and your
name will be known

274
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,494
for 14 counties, hell maybe
all the way up to Fort Worth.

275
00:21:04,497 --> 00:21:05,896
A couple broke bastards like us

276
00:21:05,898 --> 00:21:07,632
can't compete with the big boys.

277
00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:10,768
Good thing I enjoy
sniffin' them rocks.

278
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:13,971
(chuckles)

279
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,912
That damn Pluto's
as worthless as

280
00:21:21,914 --> 00:21:24,915
a one-legged man in an
ass kicking contest.

281
00:21:24,917 --> 00:21:26,817
Spent the entire
day behind a bush

282
00:21:26,819 --> 00:21:29,420
and Cap didn't do a
goddamn thing about it.

283
00:21:29,422 --> 00:21:31,472
Why should he?

284
00:21:31,473 --> 00:21:33,523
He's the nephew of the
Vice-President of Bison.

285
00:21:33,526 --> 00:21:35,326
A blue blood
through and through.

286
00:21:37,697 --> 00:21:41,032
The luck lands on the
sorriest, most worthless souls.

287
00:21:41,034 --> 00:21:42,833
Good work out there today, boys.

288
00:21:43,703 --> 00:21:44,869
How much we got now?

289
00:21:45,905 --> 00:21:47,538
I've got..

290
00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:51,042
$3,221.

291
00:21:51,044 --> 00:21:52,443
Oou.

292
00:21:52,445 --> 00:21:53,678
Tell you what let's
do, let's take that

293
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,448
3,221 and let's go
down to old Mexico.

294
00:21:57,450 --> 00:22:00,484
We'll get us a big old house
with plenty of tequila and some

295
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:03,721
cute little muchachos and
man, we'll have us a time.

296
00:22:03,723 --> 00:22:05,089
And when we're cashed out?

297
00:22:05,091 --> 00:22:07,892
Well then we come
back here and save up

298
00:22:07,894 --> 00:22:11,395
another 3,221 and do
it all over again.

299
00:22:11,397 --> 00:22:13,097
Oh goddamn, I like
the sound of it.

300
00:22:13,099 --> 00:22:14,665
It sure sounds sweet.

301
00:22:16,769 --> 00:22:19,437
This here is my ticket
outta here, fellas.

302
00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:24,375
Indentured for life
my ass, sweetie pie.

303
00:22:25,978 --> 00:22:28,696
Where you headed?

304
00:22:28,697 --> 00:22:31,415
[Jim] To town, you inquisitive
little bastard, by myself.

305
00:22:33,419 --> 00:22:34,352
To Mexico.

306
00:22:38,024 --> 00:22:42,093
[YY] Tell Cap Bruner to
kiss my ass, ha ha ha!

307
00:22:43,429 --> 00:22:47,631
(slow tempo country
guitar music)

308
00:23:08,688 --> 00:23:10,788
[Lee] Hello.
[Jim] Hello.

309
00:23:10,790 --> 00:23:14,558
[Lee] It's a lovely afternoon.
[Jim] I hadn't noticed 'til now.

310
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,928
It must be the contrast, it
was a real scorcher today.

311
00:23:17,930 --> 00:23:20,765
Yeah it was, fella on
the rig said he saw

312
00:23:20,767 --> 00:23:23,901
a lizard crawl up a steam
pipe just to cool off.

313
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,136
Really?

314
00:23:25,138 --> 00:23:27,571
Fella said it, I can't
say about the lizard.

315
00:23:28,875 --> 00:23:30,174
I'm headed into town
to get some candles.

316
00:23:30,176 --> 00:23:31,542
My husband said
the electricity's

317
00:23:31,544 --> 00:23:32,943
going out for a while tonight?

318
00:23:32,945 --> 00:23:35,479
[Jim] Yeah, they're cuttin'
a new pumping station

319
00:23:35,481 --> 00:23:37,948
into the power line but it
shouldn't be out too long.

320
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:40,084
Is that why you're
going into town too?

321
00:23:41,687 --> 00:23:43,087
For candles?

322
00:23:43,089 --> 00:23:44,755
And razorblades.

323
00:23:45,658 --> 00:23:46,757
Do you want a ride?

324
00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:51,862
Sure, thanks ma'am.

325
00:24:02,742 --> 00:24:05,109
[Lee] I don't make a
practice of picking up

326
00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:07,477
strange men in the middle of
the road but I recognized you.

327
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,181
[Jim] It's mighty kind of you.

328
00:24:10,183 --> 00:24:13,684
(relaxed guitar music)

329
00:24:14,554 --> 00:24:16,720
[Lee] Tell me Mr. McNeely,

330
00:24:16,722 --> 00:24:19,457
how are you enjoying
your stay in Dead Lake?

331
00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:21,959
You can call me Jim.

332
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:25,763
But if I call you Jim, then
you should call me Lee.

333
00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:30,534
I'll call you Mrs. Montgomery
like I'm supposed to.

334
00:24:31,637 --> 00:24:34,605
I guess it wouldn't be
proper, what a world.

335
00:24:35,942 --> 00:24:36,874
It sure is.

336
00:24:38,511 --> 00:24:40,678
Me being me and you being you.

337
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,146
I didn't mean it like that.

338
00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:46,550
(pensive guitar music)

339
00:24:46,552 --> 00:24:47,818
[Lee] Thanks Arnie.
[Arnie] You bet.

340
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:51,555
Arnie, I'm gonna need
another pack of razorblades.

341
00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:57,127
Let me get a couple
Schlitz to go.

342
00:24:59,165 --> 00:25:00,097
Thank you.

343
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:03,501
Thanks for waiting.

344
00:25:03,503 --> 00:25:04,235
[Lee] Mm hmm.

345
00:25:08,007 --> 00:25:10,875
[Jim] How about a cold
beer to ease us along?

346
00:25:11,944 --> 00:25:13,143
[Lee] Are you
offering me a beer?

347
00:25:14,614 --> 00:25:17,615
No, I'm just trying to pay
you for the ride is all.

348
00:25:22,522 --> 00:25:23,821
Thank you.

349
00:25:24,657 --> 00:25:28,592
(relaxed guitar, piano music)

350
00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:38,936
I had almost forgotten how
good a cold beer tastes.

351
00:25:41,073 --> 00:25:42,673
If you had a million dollars,

352
00:25:42,675 --> 00:25:44,208
you couldn't enjoy it any more.

353
00:25:47,547 --> 00:25:48,712
I'll remember that.

354
00:25:50,216 --> 00:25:52,616
[Jim] I'll tell you what,
you can call me 'Hey'

355
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,554
and I'll call you 'Say'
and then next time we meet,

356
00:25:56,556 --> 00:26:00,090
you could say "Hey,
how you doing?"

357
00:26:00,092 --> 00:26:03,827
And I'll respond "Say,
good to see you."

358
00:26:05,164 --> 00:26:06,096
I like that.

359
00:26:11,938 --> 00:26:14,905
[Lee] Thank you, you
should get out here,

360
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:17,074
people talk.

361
00:26:20,012 --> 00:26:21,278
Thanks again.

362
00:26:42,134 --> 00:26:45,936
(tepid violin, piano music)

363
00:26:56,816 --> 00:27:00,784
¶ Da, da da ¶

364
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:03,053
¶ Da da da ¶

365
00:27:05,291 --> 00:27:07,825
[Jim] All right, turn it.

366
00:27:07,827 --> 00:27:08,792
Come on.

367
00:27:08,794 --> 00:27:11,695
¶ I love you ¶

368
00:27:11,697 --> 00:27:14,064
[Jim] One, two, three, snap!

369
00:27:14,066 --> 00:27:15,366
[Cap] Come on, get it in.

370
00:27:15,368 --> 00:27:17,034
[Jim] One, two, three.

371
00:27:17,036 --> 00:27:18,702
Damn!

372
00:27:18,704 --> 00:27:20,137
One, two, three.

373
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:21,071
Snap!

374
00:27:26,946 --> 00:27:32,016
¶ Of all the things that
ever lived, I choose you ¶

375
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,020
¶ To rue me, ¶

376
00:27:36,022 --> 00:27:41,091
¶ my Roooooosemary ¶

377
00:27:41,794 --> 00:27:43,694
(shattering)

378
00:27:43,696 --> 00:27:45,696
[Jim] All right
boys, let's drink.

379
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:49,266
[Cap] Just a goddamn minute.

380
00:27:50,936 --> 00:27:52,136
You ain't drawin' enough money

381
00:27:52,138 --> 00:27:54,438
to be givin' the
orders to these men.

382
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:01,845
A man don't live that
makes enough money

383
00:28:01,847 --> 00:28:05,282
to tell me when I
can and won't drink.

384
00:28:17,997 --> 00:28:21,765
[Cap] All right you scraps of
nothing... get back to work!

385
00:28:29,408 --> 00:28:30,474
[Lee] Thank you.

386
00:28:33,245 --> 00:28:34,945
Razorblades?

387
00:28:35,815 --> 00:28:36,747
Yeah.

388
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:39,183
Come on.

389
00:28:41,020 --> 00:28:42,986
[Lee] Mazie's a beautiful name,
you might still marry her.

390
00:28:42,988 --> 00:28:45,889
I got pretty good instincts.
[Jim] No.

391
00:28:45,891 --> 00:28:47,491
All that's over
and done with now.

392
00:28:48,961 --> 00:28:50,994
Besides, she doesn't
bother me anymore, only--

393
00:28:50,996 --> 00:28:51,962
[Lee] Only what?

394
00:28:52,998 --> 00:28:54,965
Say what you're thinking.

395
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:58,235
(relaxed violin music)

396
00:29:03,876 --> 00:29:06,510
You should've just dropped
me off at the gate.

397
00:29:08,948 --> 00:29:09,880
I know.

398
00:29:22,795 --> 00:29:25,295
You fill up my whole head, Lee.

399
00:29:25,297 --> 00:29:26,230
What?

400
00:29:28,234 --> 00:29:29,299
It's true.

401
00:29:31,237 --> 00:29:33,270
Don't talk like that.

402
00:29:37,877 --> 00:29:39,409
[Lee] What are you doing?

403
00:29:54,093 --> 00:29:55,025
[Lee] Jim.

404
00:30:02,835 --> 00:30:04,401
Oh God, Get off of me.

405
00:30:08,107 --> 00:30:09,473
Get out!

406
00:30:09,475 --> 00:30:10,407
I'm sorry.

407
00:30:11,343 --> 00:30:12,276
I'm sorry.

408
00:30:13,512 --> 00:30:14,945
I'm sorry, uh...

409
00:30:14,947 --> 00:30:16,914
Please get out before I scream!

410
00:30:16,916 --> 00:30:18,382
I'm sorry, I just thought...

411
00:30:31,096 --> 00:30:32,029
You know,

412
00:30:32,932 --> 00:30:35,065
I've got instincts too.

413
00:30:37,136 --> 00:30:39,903
You don't love the
man you're married to.

414
00:31:13,205 --> 00:31:16,006
Stabber, come over here.

415
00:31:16,008 --> 00:31:17,207
Jesus Christ.

416
00:31:18,143 --> 00:31:19,877
[Pluto] Tonight's my last night.

417
00:31:19,879 --> 00:31:23,347
I'm saying sayonara to
this shit hole manyana.

418
00:31:27,620 --> 00:31:29,286
You'll be missed, Pluto.

419
00:31:29,288 --> 00:31:32,289
Hey, what do you say me and
you hit the town to celebrate?

420
00:31:32,291 --> 00:31:34,391
I got some moolah...

421
00:31:34,393 --> 00:31:36,960
They paid me off and it
ain't even payday yet.

422
00:31:38,163 --> 00:31:39,429
I don't think so, man.

423
00:31:40,366 --> 00:31:41,999
Hey the next time you see me,

424
00:31:42,001 --> 00:31:43,934
you'll be calling me El Jefe.

425
00:31:46,272 --> 00:31:48,672
Or maybe I'll be
calling you boss man

426
00:31:48,674 --> 00:31:50,474
and you'll be
running these gangs.

427
00:31:52,144 --> 00:31:55,345
Come on, just a couple
drinks, Stabber.

428
00:31:57,283 --> 00:31:58,682
Okay then.

429
00:31:58,684 --> 00:32:00,684
OK, that's what I like to hear.

430
00:32:00,686 --> 00:32:04,221
(up tempo violin music)

431
00:32:05,557 --> 00:32:09,960
[Pluto] Don't you think that old
Pluto is gonna forget about you.

432
00:32:09,962 --> 00:32:14,364
You oughta be Cap's boss
and I got a toast to make.

433
00:32:16,502 --> 00:32:18,235
Ladies and gentlemen,

434
00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:20,304
here

435
00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:23,473
is the best, damn pipe liner

436
00:32:23,475 --> 00:32:26,677
in all of West Texas.

437
00:32:26,679 --> 00:32:28,378
Sit your ass down, Pluto.

438
00:32:29,281 --> 00:32:30,614
[Pluto] I give you

439
00:32:30,616 --> 00:32:33,717
the one, the only

440
00:32:33,719 --> 00:32:34,584
Jim...

441
00:32:34,586 --> 00:32:36,620
Stabber McNeely.

442
00:32:36,622 --> 00:32:39,022
¶ Just a little more love,
then I'd be dreaming ¶

443
00:32:39,024 --> 00:32:39,690
(glass breaks)

444
00:32:39,692 --> 00:32:41,558
(throws up)

445
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,528
¶ I could do, yeah ¶

446
00:32:46,598 --> 00:32:49,399
That's it Jim, you'll
feel better now.

447
00:32:51,170 --> 00:32:54,371
You're a bonafide drunkard
now, welcome to the club.

448
00:32:54,373 --> 00:32:55,572
[Cap] Move it!

449
00:33:07,753 --> 00:33:11,388
(anxious violin tones)

450
00:33:11,390 --> 00:33:14,992
Get up from there, you
gold-bricking son of a bitch.

451
00:33:19,131 --> 00:33:22,065
Think you're a little too smart
to be laying pipe no more?

452
00:33:23,168 --> 00:33:25,235
You're just asking to
get your ass run off.

453
00:33:29,174 --> 00:33:31,608
You need to get the drain
plate off that tank.

454
00:33:31,610 --> 00:33:33,777
It ain't bleeding the
bullshit out of the bottom.

455
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,780
Maybe that'll wake your ass up.

456
00:33:39,385 --> 00:33:42,652
(anxious violin tones)

457
00:33:59,038 --> 00:34:01,772
- That Cap's a son of a bitch.
- Yes sir.

458
00:34:16,355 --> 00:34:21,425
[Jim] (singing) Florina, Florina

459
00:34:22,294 --> 00:34:26,797
¶ Where'd you stay last night ¶

460
00:34:27,533 --> 00:34:32,202
¶ Florina, Flori--na! ¶

461
00:34:32,838 --> 00:34:36,840
¶ Where'd you go last night? ¶

462
00:34:36,842 --> 00:34:40,844
¶ Come home in the morning ¶

463
00:34:40,846 --> 00:34:44,414
¶ And the sun don't shine ¶

464
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:49,319
¶ Florina, Floriiinaaa ¶

465
00:34:49,321 --> 00:34:53,223
¶ Where'd you stay last night ¶

466
00:34:53,225 --> 00:34:54,424
[Jim] Florina...

467
00:34:54,426 --> 00:34:57,527
That swamp gas is
gettin' to his head.

468
00:34:57,529 --> 00:35:02,299
It'll kill his ass unless we
get him outta there quick.

469
00:35:02,301 --> 00:35:06,703
¶ Go home in the
morning and the sun ¶

470
00:35:11,877 --> 00:35:15,145
(metallic clanking)

471
00:35:16,281 --> 00:35:17,214
Jim.

472
00:35:22,821 --> 00:35:23,753
Jim?

473
00:35:27,326 --> 00:35:29,593
(coughing)

474
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:37,701
Get up, you sorry
son of a bitch.

475
00:35:43,809 --> 00:35:45,242
Come on, Jim.
Come on, get him.

476
00:35:49,848 --> 00:35:52,649
(thuds, grunts)

477
00:35:53,852 --> 00:35:55,919
[Men] Get him son.
Come on.

478
00:36:01,193 --> 00:36:02,259
[Men] Get up.

479
00:36:04,863 --> 00:36:06,930
Yeah! That a boy Jim.

480
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:12,269
(anxious violin, guitar music)

481
00:36:13,438 --> 00:36:15,405
(men cheer)

482
00:36:34,393 --> 00:36:35,659
My boy Jim.

483
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:42,499
You piece of shit.

484
00:36:58,383 --> 00:37:01,952
(soft piano and violin music)

485
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,474
(crickets chirping)

486
00:37:57,476 --> 00:38:00,477
(soft piano music)

487
00:38:24,903 --> 00:38:25,835
Hey.

488
00:38:28,907 --> 00:38:30,573
Say.

489
00:38:30,575 --> 00:38:32,709
I heard all about what you did.

490
00:38:38,317 --> 00:38:40,750
You know I'm leaving for good.

491
00:38:40,752 --> 00:38:41,818
I figured.

492
00:38:53,632 --> 00:38:54,998
Where you headed?

493
00:39:00,005 --> 00:39:04,874
(relaxed guitar music)

494
00:39:05,944 --> 00:39:09,446
(birds singing)

495
00:39:25,364 --> 00:39:27,764
[Jim] Dent, I did it.

496
00:39:27,766 --> 00:39:29,566
I married her

497
00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:33,636
and now you and everyone in this

498
00:39:33,638 --> 00:39:37,774
God-forsaken world can
call her Lee McNeely.

499
00:39:37,776 --> 00:39:39,542
How about that?

500
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:40,977
(Lee laughs)

501
00:39:43,949 --> 00:39:46,449
You always asked what
my money was for.

502
00:39:48,053 --> 00:39:51,755
Well you'll be content to
know I found some use for it.

503
00:39:52,657 --> 00:39:54,391
And who knows?

504
00:39:54,393 --> 00:39:57,894
Maybe someday I'll need
some good, cheap labor

505
00:39:57,896 --> 00:40:00,597
if you happen to know
anyone interested.

506
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,936
Well?

507
00:40:06,938 --> 00:40:08,671
It smells delicious, hon.

508
00:40:08,673 --> 00:40:11,841
Don't gimme that,
tell me something.

509
00:40:13,044 --> 00:40:17,147
We are the sole owners
of the sorriest,

510
00:40:17,149 --> 00:40:21,084
oldest oil field servicing
company in all of West Texas.

511
00:40:21,086 --> 00:40:23,787
Ooh, I knew it.
[Jim] Oh calm down now.

512
00:40:23,789 --> 00:40:25,555
I made a bad deal.

513
00:40:25,557 --> 00:40:27,957
I bought out Mrs.
Sullivan on the worst

514
00:40:27,959 --> 00:40:31,060
layaway plan known
to man and maybe,

515
00:40:31,062 --> 00:40:35,198
just maybe, if I
work 18 hours a day,

516
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,934
seven days a week
and give up breakfast

517
00:40:37,936 --> 00:40:41,938
and chewing gum and picture
shows and I get an amazing

518
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:45,041
string of luck, we might just
be able to make the payments.

519
00:40:45,043 --> 00:40:46,643
I don't care.

520
00:40:46,645 --> 00:40:48,978
You will care when we're
eating beans every night.

521
00:40:50,048 --> 00:40:53,049
I love beans.
[Jim] Oh!

522
00:40:53,051 --> 00:40:55,819
(laughing)

523
00:40:55,821 --> 00:40:59,722
(upbeat country guitar music)

524
00:41:17,576 --> 00:41:19,943
You know, the surefire
way to get through

525
00:41:19,945 --> 00:41:22,812
to an old timer is to
get down on his level.

526
00:41:22,814 --> 00:41:26,015
Make him laugh.
I know what I'm doing.

527
00:41:26,017 --> 00:41:29,519
I know you do, big boss man.

528
00:41:30,121 --> 00:41:31,054
Shut up.

529
00:41:43,702 --> 00:41:44,701
Mr. Coker?

530
00:42:00,185 --> 00:42:02,118
My name's Jim McNeely.

531
00:42:05,824 --> 00:42:09,592
That road you just come on in on

532
00:42:09,594 --> 00:42:12,762
don't lead nowhere
but right here.

533
00:42:12,764 --> 00:42:15,532
Mr. Coker, I heard it
said in Odessa that

534
00:42:15,534 --> 00:42:18,034
you'd shoot the next
fella that came out

535
00:42:18,036 --> 00:42:20,737
here asking about
leasing the Coker ranch.

536
00:42:21,940 --> 00:42:24,641
I ain't a lease broker and I

537
00:42:24,643 --> 00:42:26,676
damn sure don't aim
to get shot, neither.

538
00:42:26,678 --> 00:42:29,178
What in the confounded
hell do you want?

539
00:42:29,180 --> 00:42:31,881
Not a damn thing
sir, unless you'd

540
00:42:33,218 --> 00:42:35,885
spare a little of that
Beechnut you're chewin' on.

541
00:42:46,831 --> 00:42:50,199
They say you're a fool 'cause
you refuse to lease your land.

542
00:42:50,201 --> 00:42:52,869
You'd rather let
'em rob you blind

543
00:42:52,871 --> 00:42:54,837
than get what's
rightfully yours.

544
00:43:01,146 --> 00:43:02,979
Shit with what they say.

545
00:43:02,981 --> 00:43:06,349
I don't agree with 'em
or I wouldn't be here.

546
00:43:06,351 --> 00:43:09,619
I just think you haven't
been offered a fair deal yet.

547
00:43:10,689 --> 00:43:14,757
You need a partner who
can help you get the oil

548
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,894
out of the ground before
they suck you dry.

549
00:43:28,607 --> 00:43:31,307
(Coker laughing)

550
00:43:32,277 --> 00:43:34,243
You're the worst goddamn

551
00:43:34,245 --> 00:43:36,946
tobacco chewer I
ever seen in my life.

552
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,147
I never claimed to be an expert

553
00:43:38,149 --> 00:43:39,949
in chewing tobacco
or anything else.

554
00:43:41,953 --> 00:43:43,886
I'm just a poor boy
trying to get by.

555
00:43:52,764 --> 00:43:56,933
(mid tempo country guitar music)

556
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,668
(metal clanking)

557
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,040
(bird chirping)

558
00:44:43,782 --> 00:44:45,048
Take a look at it.

559
00:44:46,351 --> 00:44:48,918
[Jim] Driller!
Let's test this son of a bitch.

560
00:44:57,862 --> 00:44:59,829
Goddamn.

561
00:44:59,831 --> 00:45:02,331
Driller, give me two more feet.

562
00:45:17,882 --> 00:45:20,183
(cheering)

563
00:45:26,758 --> 00:45:29,459
[Barry] You did it, you did it.

564
00:45:32,764 --> 00:45:34,497
[Jim] We're in the oil
business now, sugar.

565
00:45:44,876 --> 00:45:47,176
[Jim] Barry.
What is this?

566
00:45:48,246 --> 00:45:50,413
That's your 1% interest.

567
00:45:52,016 --> 00:45:55,151
But Jim, I'm happy to
help an old friend.

568
00:45:55,420 --> 00:45:57,320
Hell with that.

569
00:45:57,322 --> 00:45:59,355
I wouldn't have even known
about this deal without you.

570
00:46:00,925 --> 00:46:01,991
Thank you, Jim.

571
00:46:02,227 --> 00:46:06,362
(relaxed violin music)

572
00:46:33,224 --> 00:46:38,094
So you're telling me,
you got no geological stats,

573
00:46:38,096 --> 00:46:43,166
no geophysics, nothing but a
lot of hot air and high hopes?

574
00:46:43,401 --> 00:46:45,134
And cheap leases, sir.

575
00:46:45,403 --> 00:46:48,104
$6 an acre, can't beat that.

576
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,207
Not a uh...

577
00:46:51,209 --> 00:46:54,210
deal for the risk-averse,
that's for sure.

578
00:46:56,381 --> 00:47:00,316
Not exactly my idea of
aggressive expansion, Dent.

579
00:47:00,318 --> 00:47:05,254
Well I'm no geologist and
Scurry County's not oil country.

580
00:47:05,256 --> 00:47:08,257
However, it's a shit
load of cheap land

581
00:47:08,259 --> 00:47:10,259
in West Texas
without a hole in it.

582
00:47:11,262 --> 00:47:12,395
I'm willing to give y'all

583
00:47:12,397 --> 00:47:15,031
until tomorrow morning
to consider it.

584
00:47:16,534 --> 00:47:20,336
Otherwise I'm just gonna
shop it on down the road.

585
00:47:30,615 --> 00:47:35,351
(relaxed country
guitar, violin music)

586
00:48:28,406 --> 00:48:30,673
Santa Rita, gimme a sign.

587
00:48:48,426 --> 00:48:52,428
(relaxed violin, guitar music)

588
00:48:56,701 --> 00:48:57,600
Hot damn.

589
00:49:00,405 --> 00:49:01,304
Hot damn.

590
00:49:09,147 --> 00:49:11,080
To bet it all on a
stupid horseshoe?

591
00:49:12,550 --> 00:49:13,482
Goddammit.

592
00:49:19,557 --> 00:49:21,691
Well, how did it look?

593
00:49:21,693 --> 00:49:23,960
Hmm, like you said.

594
00:49:25,063 --> 00:49:26,529
Cheap lease is for a reason.

595
00:49:28,032 --> 00:49:32,568
You know I was thinking we
could redo the guest bedroom.

596
00:49:33,705 --> 00:49:35,304
Redo what?

597
00:49:35,306 --> 00:49:37,173
We already got a bed and a
dresser in there already.

598
00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:39,475
What else do we need?

599
00:49:39,477 --> 00:49:41,510
We haven't even had
a guest over once.

600
00:49:42,380 --> 00:49:45,114
I don't know, maybe a kids room.

601
00:49:48,453 --> 00:49:50,152
You know,

602
00:49:50,154 --> 00:49:51,087
someday.

603
00:49:58,563 --> 00:50:00,229
Hon,

604
00:50:00,231 --> 00:50:01,630
we barely have
time for you and I.

605
00:50:01,632 --> 00:50:04,000
How the hell are we
gonna have time for kids?

606
00:50:04,002 --> 00:50:06,502
We make time, that's
how it's done.

607
00:50:06,504 --> 00:50:10,106
It won't be easy but
I will have a son

608
00:50:10,108 --> 00:50:13,609
so I can teach him how to be
a real cowboy, work the land.

609
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:16,746
Cowboy huh, cowboy huh?

610
00:50:16,748 --> 00:50:17,680
(laughs)

611
00:50:18,649 --> 00:50:19,582
You want a son?

612
00:50:23,021 --> 00:50:24,320
¶ Hello walls ¶

613
00:50:24,322 --> 00:50:26,655
¶ Hello, hello ¶

614
00:50:26,657 --> 00:50:31,727
¶ How'd things go
for you today ¶

615
00:50:32,430 --> 00:50:36,065
¶ Don't you miss her ¶

616
00:50:36,067 --> 00:50:40,803
¶ Since she up and walked away ¶

617
00:50:40,805 --> 00:50:44,673
¶ And I'll bet you
dread to spend ¶

618
00:50:44,675 --> 00:50:49,712
¶ Another lonely night with me ¶

619
00:50:50,782 --> 00:50:55,284
¶ But lonely walls,
I'll keep you company ¶

620
00:50:57,622 --> 00:50:58,487
Ted.

621
00:50:58,489 --> 00:50:59,722
¶ Hello window ¶

622
00:50:59,724 --> 00:51:01,824
¶ Hello, hello ¶

623
00:51:01,826 --> 00:51:04,460
¶ Well I see ¶

624
00:51:04,462 --> 00:51:05,528
Bob, Tom.
Boss.

625
00:51:05,530 --> 00:51:10,266
You know I bought a good
lease with a bad title.

626
00:51:10,268 --> 00:51:11,600
I got seven days to pay it off.

627
00:51:11,602 --> 00:51:13,536
Two of the heirs are
in court right now

628
00:51:13,538 --> 00:51:15,538
feuding over the
block that I want.

629
00:51:16,140 --> 00:51:17,807
So renew the lease
from both heirs,

630
00:51:17,809 --> 00:51:20,609
drill it and the royalty
money will go to the court.

631
00:51:20,611 --> 00:51:22,344
Then when the suit is settled,

632
00:51:22,346 --> 00:51:24,313
they'll give it to the
rightful owner, easy-peasy.

633
00:51:24,315 --> 00:51:25,481
Hell, I don't even have

634
00:51:25,483 --> 00:51:28,084
the money to renew
it from one of 'em.

635
00:51:28,086 --> 00:51:29,819
Then drill it before
the lease expires.

636
00:51:29,821 --> 00:51:31,120
In seven days?

637
00:51:31,122 --> 00:51:34,557
We need a partner and
we needed one yesterday.

638
00:51:38,329 --> 00:51:39,528
(mouths a name)

639
00:51:55,713 --> 00:51:58,848
Mr. Naylor, my name's
Jim McNeely, President

640
00:51:58,850 --> 00:52:02,218
of McNeely Oil Company,
can I have a word with you?

641
00:52:02,220 --> 00:52:03,385
What's this all about?

642
00:52:03,387 --> 00:52:05,321
Can't you see I'm
having a meeting here?

643
00:52:08,226 --> 00:52:11,260
Mr. Naylor, I'm
about to move a rig

644
00:52:11,262 --> 00:52:14,797
on the Turpin section,
offsetting your Sheets lease.

645
00:52:14,799 --> 00:52:16,265
I intend to be making a hole by

646
00:52:16,267 --> 00:52:18,234
Monday unless someone stops me.

647
00:52:20,571 --> 00:52:22,738
Hell, I've never
heard of whatever

648
00:52:22,740 --> 00:52:25,508
the hell company you're
supposed to be President of.

649
00:52:28,346 --> 00:52:31,580
Sir, would you like to hear
what I have to say or not?

650
00:52:34,285 --> 00:52:36,452
Guess he liked my speech.

651
00:52:41,425 --> 00:52:42,491
Hello.

652
00:52:43,327 --> 00:52:44,260
[Lee] Hi.

653
00:52:45,696 --> 00:52:50,366
Just how much money are
you drawing, Mrs. McNeely?

654
00:52:50,368 --> 00:52:53,636
Not enough to put up with
you clowns, that's for sure.

655
00:53:00,678 --> 00:53:01,677
You're fired.

656
00:53:03,748 --> 00:53:05,214
What?

657
00:53:05,216 --> 00:53:05,948
Whaaaaat?

658
00:53:06,851 --> 00:53:07,783
You're fired.

659
00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:09,952
Oh yeah.

660
00:53:09,954 --> 00:53:14,723
I'm trading you in
for a full time wife.

661
00:53:14,725 --> 00:53:18,327
You can paint up that little
room you've been talking about.

662
00:53:18,329 --> 00:53:21,597
Consul just bought
a piece of our lease

663
00:53:21,599 --> 00:53:24,366
and hired us to drill
it, we start on Monday.

664
00:53:25,436 --> 00:53:27,870
This sly son of a
silver-tongued devil

665
00:53:27,872 --> 00:53:30,539
walked over to the
President of Consul

666
00:53:30,541 --> 00:53:33,209
Petroleum and sold him the
damn deal outta nowhere.

667
00:53:33,211 --> 00:53:34,977
Ah ha.

668
00:53:34,979 --> 00:53:37,213
I nailed that son of a bitch.

669
00:53:37,215 --> 00:53:38,614
Yes you did.

670
00:53:38,616 --> 00:53:41,717
(upbeat trumpet music)

671
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,286
I've got the prettiest
girl in the state of Texas.

672
00:53:45,890 --> 00:53:50,960
¶ Cheers, here's to you and me ¶

673
00:53:51,762 --> 00:53:53,963
¶ Baby can't you see ¶

674
00:53:53,965 --> 00:53:56,865
y Jim, I've been looking at it..

675
00:53:56,867 --> 00:53:58,434
It's a great prospect.

676
00:53:59,670 --> 00:54:02,338
(cheering)

677
00:54:02,740 --> 00:54:07,343
(upbeat big band music)

678
00:54:10,014 --> 00:54:12,348
Yes Jim!

679
00:54:12,350 --> 00:54:13,415
You did it!

680
00:54:29,033 --> 00:54:31,000
Yes.

681
00:54:31,001 --> 00:54:32,968
¶ North, south, east or west ¶

682
00:54:32,970 --> 00:54:36,839
¶ We've got whatever it takes ¶

683
00:54:36,841 --> 00:54:40,542
¶ We'll make our
own lucky breaks ¶

684
00:54:40,544 --> 00:54:44,346
¶ So clear the
decks for action ¶

685
00:54:44,348 --> 00:54:47,683
¶ Guaranteed satisfaction ¶

686
00:54:47,685 --> 00:54:53,956
¶ We'll go all the
way, stand or fall ¶

687
00:54:54,392 --> 00:54:57,359
¶ So cheers ¶

688
00:54:57,361 --> 00:55:00,029
¶ To one and all ¶

689
00:55:05,336 --> 00:55:08,837
So soon, you pass
me off that soon?

690
00:55:08,839 --> 00:55:12,041
(upbeat guitar music)

691
00:55:18,949 --> 00:55:21,950
(relaxed violin music)

692
00:55:50,648 --> 00:55:51,814
Goddammit.

693
00:56:00,658 --> 00:56:02,891
[Jim] There's only a rare
few  of these to be found.

694
00:56:06,664 --> 00:56:07,930
Now there's one less.

695
00:56:13,070 --> 00:56:15,938
They'd offered it to me and
I threw it out the window.

696
00:56:18,776 --> 00:56:21,944
But you told me not
to buy cheap leases.

697
00:56:21,946 --> 00:56:23,145
So now it's my fault?

698
00:56:24,482 --> 00:56:26,582
So what if you did
buy Scurry County?

699
00:56:27,785 --> 00:56:29,952
We'd be sloppy rich by now?

700
00:56:29,954 --> 00:56:32,554
What would you have that
you haven't already got?

701
00:56:32,556 --> 00:56:34,456
A title like millionaire?

702
00:56:35,659 --> 00:56:38,660
In case you haven't
heard, I am a millionaire.

703
00:56:38,662 --> 00:56:39,595
[Lee] Jim.

704
00:56:39,597 --> 00:56:44,166
No wait, you add up
the value of the oil

705
00:56:44,168 --> 00:56:47,503
in the ground and the
rig and the new office

706
00:56:47,505 --> 00:56:49,605
building and this
house that you live in,

707
00:56:49,607 --> 00:56:53,041
subtract what I owe, there's
a million dollars left.

708
00:56:53,043 --> 00:56:54,443
And what does that do?

709
00:56:55,513 --> 00:56:57,112
What are you gonna
do with more money?

710
00:56:57,114 --> 00:56:59,815
Where do you stop
wanting, when?

711
00:57:00,885 --> 00:57:02,084
When you really get
to be a millionaire?

712
00:57:02,086 --> 00:57:04,153
I am a millionaire, goddammit!

713
00:57:04,155 --> 00:57:05,521
Well yippee for you.

714
00:57:17,668 --> 00:57:18,600
Hey.

715
00:57:21,639 --> 00:57:22,571
Say.

716
00:57:24,141 --> 00:57:26,108
There's something I
forgot to tell you.

717
00:57:27,878 --> 00:57:29,211
We're moving to Fort Worth.

718
00:57:31,782 --> 00:57:32,714
[Jim] Surprise.

719
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:37,820
I knew we were going, I
just didn't know when.

720
00:57:41,158 --> 00:57:45,093
(relaxed piano, violin music)

721
00:58:23,534 --> 00:58:26,134
[Lee] My God, the houses
just keep on gettin' bigger.

722
00:58:26,136 --> 00:58:29,071
[Jim] Yeah and the jerks
that live in 'em too.

723
00:58:29,073 --> 00:58:31,073
Tomorrow I'm gonna
show you the new

724
00:58:31,075 --> 00:58:33,609
headquarters for the
McNeely Oil Company.

725
00:58:34,678 --> 00:58:36,211
I'm gonna kick my
boots up on my desk

726
00:58:36,213 --> 00:58:38,614
every day and make
like a big oilman.

727
00:58:39,683 --> 00:58:41,083
[Lee] When did this
all come about?

728
00:58:41,085 --> 00:58:42,284
Dent took care of it.

729
00:58:44,822 --> 00:58:46,822
What do you think
about this one?

730
00:58:46,824 --> 00:58:48,924
It looks like a small castle.

731
00:58:48,926 --> 00:58:51,660
They're having a
party, there's music.

732
00:58:51,662 --> 00:58:52,594
Oh.

733
00:58:53,931 --> 00:58:55,130
It's for you.

734
00:58:55,132 --> 00:58:57,199
But I don't know anyone here.

735
00:58:57,201 --> 00:58:58,667
Yet.

736
00:58:58,669 --> 00:59:01,670
This is a housewarming
party honey, for you.

737
00:59:01,672 --> 00:59:04,340
What?

738
00:59:04,341 --> 00:59:07,009
This is your new castle and
since you're the queen of it,

739
00:59:10,014 --> 00:59:11,280
you get a key.

740
00:59:11,282 --> 00:59:13,282
Jim, what have you done?

741
00:59:14,251 --> 00:59:15,651
Don't worry about it.

742
00:59:16,620 --> 00:59:17,553
We're home.

743
00:59:19,557 --> 00:59:22,791
(upbeat trumpet music)

744
00:59:24,728 --> 00:59:27,829
Hey y'all, howdy.

745
00:59:27,831 --> 00:59:29,965
You traitorous bastard.

746
00:59:31,569 --> 00:59:32,668
Lookin' great, honey.

747
00:59:35,105 --> 00:59:36,872
[Jim] Charley.
Jim, Lee.

748
00:59:37,708 --> 00:59:39,141
Welcome home.

749
00:59:39,143 --> 00:59:41,276
It took y'all long enough to
get out of that dustbowl but

750
00:59:41,278 --> 00:59:43,712
I trust you'll find
yourselves comfortable here.

751
00:59:43,714 --> 00:59:46,048
Excuse me gentlemen if
I use the powder room.

752
00:59:49,753 --> 00:59:52,688
Jim McNeely, welcome
back to Fort Worth.

753
00:59:52,690 --> 00:59:54,823
You sure have made quite a
name for yourself out West.

754
00:59:54,825 --> 00:59:56,592
He certainly has.

755
00:59:56,594 --> 00:59:58,226
Yeah, I've done all right.

756
00:59:58,228 --> 01:00:00,295
A far cry from the days
on the schoolyard, right?

757
01:00:00,297 --> 01:00:02,998
That was a long time ago, Jim.

758
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,233
Charley here was just telling
us about your latest streak.

759
01:00:05,235 --> 01:00:07,970
Well, Charley tell
'em about our last

760
01:00:07,972 --> 01:00:10,606
deal that bought you
that new Cadillac.

761
01:00:10,608 --> 01:00:13,241
Maybe we'll get y'all in on
our Reeves County prospect.

762
01:00:13,243 --> 01:00:16,278
Sounds all right to me.
[Jim] Excuse me boys,

763
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,046
y'all get a drink or 10.

764
01:00:19,350 --> 01:00:22,618
One well, one Cadillac,
easiest money I ever made.

765
01:00:36,767 --> 01:00:37,899
You still think you can struggle

766
01:00:37,901 --> 01:00:39,668
along in this
little old bungalow?

767
01:00:40,638 --> 01:00:42,304
Looks like a damn museum.

768
01:00:42,306 --> 01:00:45,107
Everyone's impressed,
repulsed but impressed.

769
01:00:46,176 --> 01:00:48,744
But that's what you
wanted, isn't it?

770
01:00:48,746 --> 01:00:50,879
You done good, Denty boy.

771
01:00:50,881 --> 01:00:52,681
I even got you a
little something.

772
01:00:54,385 --> 01:00:56,018
Well open it, dammit.

773
01:00:56,020 --> 01:00:59,688
Are you proposing?
[Jim] You wish.

774
01:01:03,761 --> 01:01:06,128
Thank you.
For everything.

775
01:01:09,767 --> 01:01:12,934
Alright. Don't go gettin'
all sentimental on me.

776
01:01:14,972 --> 01:01:16,071
I need a drink.

777
01:01:17,141 --> 01:01:18,073
Buster?

778
01:01:21,845 --> 01:01:23,412
[Mrs. Wales] Jim McNeely.

779
01:01:23,414 --> 01:01:25,814
Hello Mrs. Wales.

780
01:01:25,816 --> 01:01:27,282
You do look wonderful.

781
01:01:28,185 --> 01:01:29,451
Why thank you.

782
01:01:29,453 --> 01:01:31,219
You look mighty sharp yourself.

783
01:01:31,221 --> 01:01:33,388
I'm so glad you invited me.

784
01:01:33,390 --> 01:01:35,857
I just wish Dr. Wales
had lived to see it.

785
01:01:36,827 --> 01:01:38,326
Come on.

786
01:01:38,328 --> 01:01:40,429
Let's walk.
Yes ma'am.

787
01:01:41,732 --> 01:01:44,232
It's a lovely house, Jim.

788
01:01:44,234 --> 01:01:45,233
It is, isn't it?

789
01:01:45,235 --> 01:01:46,902
I remember it when I was a girl.

790
01:01:48,739 --> 01:01:50,305
I remember a lot of things too.

791
01:01:51,408 --> 01:01:55,977
Now Jim, the past
is a long time gone.

792
01:01:57,081 --> 01:01:59,414
You have done so
magnificently well.

793
01:01:59,416 --> 01:02:01,883
I'd like to think Dr.
Wales and I were partly

794
01:02:01,885 --> 01:02:05,387
responsible for giving you the
push in the right direction.

795
01:02:05,389 --> 01:02:07,322
I'd say it was a
pretty good shove.

796
01:02:09,293 --> 01:02:10,759
Now you know bitterness will

797
01:02:10,761 --> 01:02:13,061
suck the pleasure
right out of things.

798
01:02:16,867 --> 01:02:17,666
How's Mazie?

799
01:02:17,667 --> 01:02:18,466
I don't know how much you know.

800
01:02:19,503 --> 01:02:22,304
It hasn't been all
sunshine for Mazie.

801
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,740
I'm sorry to hear that.

802
01:02:25,375 --> 01:02:27,375
I figured y'all had it made.

803
01:02:27,377 --> 01:02:31,213
Pluto, I mean Clayton, he
comes from such good stock.

804
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,420
Mrs. Wales, can I
get you a drink?

805
01:02:40,124 --> 01:02:41,790
A scotch would be wonderful.

806
01:02:42,426 --> 01:02:43,925
One scotch coming up.

807
01:02:44,895 --> 01:02:47,229
It is so good to see you,
I'm so glad you're here.

808
01:02:48,365 --> 01:02:50,065
Thank you, Jim.

809
01:02:51,902 --> 01:02:53,869
[Ort] Jim.

810
01:02:53,871 --> 01:02:56,371
You old boll-weevil.
[Jim] Ort.

811
01:02:56,373 --> 01:03:00,976
Come here, you oughta be
mighty proud, son 'a bitch.

812
01:03:00,978 --> 01:03:03,011
Save that kinda
talk for the field.

813
01:03:03,013 --> 01:03:04,780
I just come to congratulate you.

814
01:03:04,781 --> 01:03:06,548
I know you did, you look
great, I love this tie.

815
01:03:06,550 --> 01:03:07,883
Jim.

816
01:03:07,885 --> 01:03:09,151
Here she is.

817
01:03:12,823 --> 01:03:13,922
Has she changed?

818
01:03:13,924 --> 01:03:16,191
Just look at her.
Mom, stop.

819
01:03:16,193 --> 01:03:18,927
You sound like you're
exhibited a registered heifer.

820
01:03:20,097 --> 01:03:21,396
It's good to see you, Jim.

821
01:03:23,100 --> 01:03:24,032
Wow.

822
01:03:24,835 --> 01:03:26,067
Little old Mazie Wales grew up

823
01:03:26,069 --> 01:03:29,104
to be even more stunning
than I remember.

824
01:03:29,106 --> 01:03:31,139
You didn't turn out
so bad yourself.

825
01:03:31,141 --> 01:03:34,009
[Pluto] Where the hell
did everyone get off to?

826
01:03:34,011 --> 01:03:35,277
Stabber,

827
01:03:35,279 --> 01:03:37,512
goddamn Stabber.

828
01:03:37,514 --> 01:03:39,114
Pluto.

829
01:03:39,116 --> 01:03:42,884
Me and this man, we had us
some times didn't we Jim?

830
01:03:47,124 --> 01:03:49,291
I've had myself
some bad luck, Jim.

831
01:03:50,561 --> 01:03:53,295
Hey, we gots to go and talk
somewhere, huh brother?

832
01:03:55,299 --> 01:03:56,898
Let's all go get a drink.

833
01:03:59,002 --> 01:04:02,137
Pluto, you still
drinking, whiskey?

834
01:04:02,139 --> 01:04:04,206
[Pluto] I'm never not.

835
01:04:24,394 --> 01:04:27,395
[Mazie] I should've sent
you a plant or something.

836
01:04:27,397 --> 01:04:29,598
But I do have another
little present for you.

837
01:04:31,401 --> 01:04:32,467
I've been saving it.

838
01:04:35,072 --> 01:04:36,271
Don't open 'til Christmas.

839
01:04:36,273 --> 01:04:38,206
That Christmas is
ancient history.

840
01:04:40,611 --> 01:04:44,012
I am so happy for you, Jim
and I know that you have

841
01:04:44,014 --> 01:04:46,882
a wonderful wife now and
I can't wait to meet her

842
01:04:46,884 --> 01:04:49,618
and do everything I can to
make sure she likes it here.

843
01:04:52,890 --> 01:04:55,657
You might as well start
now, here she comes.

844
01:04:55,659 --> 01:04:57,359
Honey, come here for a minute.

845
01:04:58,495 --> 01:05:00,295
I want you to meet
a very special

846
01:05:00,297 --> 01:05:01,897
friend of mine, this is Mazie...

847
01:05:03,233 --> 01:05:05,450
LeMane!

848
01:05:05,451 --> 01:05:07,668
Hi Mazie, Lee McNeely,
it's nice to meet you.

849
01:05:07,671 --> 01:05:09,471
It so nice to meet you too, Lee.

850
01:05:09,473 --> 01:05:11,306
Welcome to Fort Worth.

851
01:05:11,308 --> 01:05:12,674
Thank you.

852
01:05:12,676 --> 01:05:15,443
Sorry to interrupt,
there are two gentlemen

853
01:05:15,445 --> 01:05:17,946
who seem to have settled
into an all night

854
01:05:17,948 --> 01:05:21,483
drinking game into what I
presume to be our bedroom.

855
01:05:21,485 --> 01:05:23,151
Do you think they would
mind terribly if I

856
01:05:23,153 --> 01:05:26,288
put on my pajamas and
slipped quietly into bed?

857
01:05:26,290 --> 01:05:28,089
(Mazie laughs)

858
01:05:28,091 --> 01:05:29,624
She's funny too.

859
01:05:29,626 --> 01:05:31,159
I like her.

860
01:05:31,161 --> 01:05:33,094
I'll take care of it, honey.

861
01:05:33,096 --> 01:05:36,097
Jim, I think it's time you
kicked us all out and I

862
01:05:36,099 --> 01:05:38,500
will get to know this wonderful
wife of yours soon enough.

863
01:05:38,502 --> 01:05:40,001
That's very nice of you.

864
01:05:41,104 --> 01:05:42,103
I'll lead you out.

865
01:05:43,206 --> 01:05:44,205
[Jim] All right.

866
01:05:44,207 --> 01:05:46,441
I'll be out there in a minute.

867
01:05:46,443 --> 01:05:47,642
Good show, old man.

868
01:05:49,079 --> 01:05:50,011
[Jim] Good to see ya.

869
01:05:58,155 --> 01:06:02,057
(festive trumpet music)

870
01:06:02,059 --> 01:06:03,291
[Lee] Two diamonds.

871
01:06:03,293 --> 01:06:05,360
You gotta beat three, sweetie.

872
01:06:05,362 --> 01:06:06,695
This country bumpkin
here is used to

873
01:06:06,697 --> 01:06:09,531
throwin' dice with cowboys,
not playing bridge.

874
01:06:09,533 --> 01:06:11,166
Cowboys?

875
01:06:11,168 --> 01:06:14,002
Well that sounds fun.
(laughs)

876
01:06:15,339 --> 01:06:17,238
[Woman] You kill me, Lee.

877
01:06:23,647 --> 01:06:24,713
I admire you.

878
01:06:25,716 --> 01:06:27,182
Me?

879
01:06:27,184 --> 01:06:28,249
Why on earth?

880
01:06:29,486 --> 01:06:31,753
Havin' the courage to
leave your first husband.

881
01:06:31,755 --> 01:06:35,190
I mean weren't you worried
about people talking?

882
01:06:36,426 --> 01:06:39,327
We didn't stick around to
find out what people would say

883
01:06:39,329 --> 01:06:42,063
or do, it all happened so fast.

884
01:06:42,065 --> 01:06:43,398
[Mazie] way you describe feeling

885
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,267
back then, that's the
way I feel right now.

886
01:06:46,269 --> 01:06:47,769
Oh.

887
01:06:47,771 --> 01:06:51,172
Mazie, it was so much
different for me.

888
01:06:51,174 --> 01:06:53,174
Look at all that you have.

889
01:06:53,176 --> 01:06:55,744
You live in a city, the people.

890
01:06:55,746 --> 01:06:57,679
Pluto, I mean Clayton,

891
01:06:57,681 --> 01:07:01,583
he is such a fine young
man from a good family.

892
01:07:01,585 --> 01:07:03,485
Look at this pity party.

893
01:07:03,487 --> 01:07:08,289
Shake it off, that's what
I do and drink of course.

894
01:07:14,297 --> 01:07:15,263
Thank you.

895
01:07:28,311 --> 01:07:30,378
It's strange to
be served dinner.

896
01:07:33,683 --> 01:07:36,084
[Jim] Well get
used to it, sugar.

897
01:07:36,086 --> 01:07:39,320
I don't know what to do
in this big house, Jim.

898
01:07:39,322 --> 01:07:40,722
Can I come work in the office?

899
01:07:40,724 --> 01:07:42,323
How's your new accountant
doing, does he need help?

900
01:07:42,325 --> 01:07:46,361
No, my wife's not
working at a damn office.

901
01:07:46,363 --> 01:07:49,731
Besides, I thought you'd
like to be a lady of leisure.

902
01:07:49,733 --> 01:07:52,567
Leisure and boredom
seem to go hand in hand.

903
01:07:52,569 --> 01:07:56,471
Leisure and business,
that's how deals are made.

904
01:07:57,674 --> 01:08:00,642
Speaking of, Pluto's
going to drop by later

905
01:08:00,644 --> 01:08:04,212
for a drink, says he's got
an ace of a deal to show me.

906
01:08:04,214 --> 01:08:06,548
I thought we could have
some time alone tonight.

907
01:08:06,550 --> 01:08:07,682
For once.

908
01:08:07,684 --> 01:08:09,684
He's my old oil field
buddy, you know?

909
01:08:09,686 --> 01:08:13,088
You get mighty close working
on those gangs together.

910
01:08:14,424 --> 01:08:16,524
Oh, and Mazie's
tagging along too.

911
01:08:19,596 --> 01:08:20,528
Oh?

912
01:08:22,099 --> 01:08:24,699
I have to say, I didn't know
how I feel about Mazie.

913
01:08:24,701 --> 01:08:28,236
But I do like her,
she's down to earth

914
01:08:28,238 --> 01:08:30,305
beneath all those fancy clothes.

915
01:08:30,307 --> 01:08:32,373
She's a good girl, harmless.

916
01:08:33,677 --> 01:08:36,144
I'm glad you two
are getting along.

917
01:08:36,146 --> 01:08:37,679
(festive trumpet music)

918
01:08:37,681 --> 01:08:39,347
I win again.

919
01:08:39,349 --> 01:08:42,150
Hey Lee, why don't you
come over here and give

920
01:08:42,152 --> 01:08:44,419
a girl a hand taking
down these knuckleheads?

921
01:08:45,755 --> 01:08:50,125
I gotta say it, I hate
cards and I'm going to bed.

922
01:08:51,495 --> 01:08:53,161
Don't be so sour, sugar.

923
01:08:53,163 --> 01:08:56,531
I'm not being sour,
I'm just tired.

924
01:08:56,533 --> 01:08:57,465
Hey.

925
01:08:58,435 --> 01:08:59,367
Hey.

926
01:09:00,203 --> 01:09:02,537
I can send them home, honey.

927
01:09:03,874 --> 01:09:05,206
Nah.

928
01:09:05,208 --> 01:09:07,208
Y'all are having
fun, I am being sour.

929
01:09:07,210 --> 01:09:08,376
You enjoy yourselves.

930
01:09:09,613 --> 01:09:11,212
Goodnight y'all.
[Pluto] Goodnight, honey.

931
01:09:11,214 --> 01:09:12,881
[Jim] Goodnight.
All right Stabber,

932
01:09:13,884 --> 01:09:17,385
come and deal 'em up
you goddamn field hand.

933
01:09:17,387 --> 01:09:19,271
Let's beat this girl.

934
01:09:19,272 --> 01:09:21,156
Oh please.
[Pluto] She's cheating.

935
01:09:21,158 --> 01:09:24,792
(telephone ringing)

936
01:09:24,794 --> 01:09:27,295
Hello.
[Jim] Hey sweetheart.

937
01:09:27,297 --> 01:09:30,598
Pack your bags, we're going
to West Texas for the weekend.

938
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,836
West Texas, where, just you
and me, what should I bring?

939
01:09:34,838 --> 01:09:37,338
[Jim] Oh hell, just
bring a toothbrush.

940
01:09:37,340 --> 01:09:39,307
Do some cowgirl shopping
over at Lettie's.

941
01:09:39,309 --> 01:09:41,476
I'll pick you up at 11.
- Are you crazy?

942
01:09:41,478 --> 01:09:43,444
That's in an hour.
[Jim] Yeah well,

943
01:09:43,446 --> 01:09:45,747
we'll arrive just
in time for dinner.

944
01:09:45,749 --> 01:09:46,614
Jim!

945
01:09:46,616 --> 01:09:49,918
(country violin music)

946
01:09:58,695 --> 01:10:01,196
Upgrade us to the
Presidential Suite.

947
01:10:01,198 --> 01:10:02,697
I mean if you're
gonna do it right,

948
01:10:02,699 --> 01:10:04,332
you gotta do it
right, right sugar?

949
01:10:04,334 --> 01:10:05,667
Sounds wonderful.

950
01:10:05,669 --> 01:10:07,602
[Pluto] Stabber.

951
01:10:07,604 --> 01:10:09,938
[Mazie] What took y'all
so long to get here?

952
01:10:11,341 --> 01:10:13,341
Hey Lee.
I should've warned you.

953
01:10:13,343 --> 01:10:15,310
[Mazie] Hi Jim.
[Lee] Jim,

954
01:10:15,312 --> 01:10:17,445
this is a business trip?

955
01:10:17,447 --> 01:10:19,681
Honey, it's an everything trip.

956
01:10:21,218 --> 01:10:23,551
Let's go check out our suite.

957
01:10:29,492 --> 01:10:32,293
(gunshot booms)

958
01:10:34,631 --> 01:10:38,733
[Jim] Gentlemen, we've drilled
nine prospects together.

959
01:10:38,735 --> 01:10:41,002
Five were dry, four produced.

960
01:10:41,004 --> 01:10:44,005
The one in Reagan
County is just so-so.

961
01:10:44,007 --> 01:10:46,007
I wouldn't recommend
drilling any more there.

962
01:10:46,009 --> 01:10:48,743
We'll just, we'll farm it
out to another operator.

963
01:10:49,813 --> 01:10:51,546
What we should
all be thinking is

964
01:10:51,548 --> 01:10:53,348
looking for something with
a little more juice in it.

965
01:10:53,350 --> 01:10:54,482
How long you think it's gonna

966
01:10:54,484 --> 01:10:56,017
take for that Reagan
well to pay out?

967
01:10:56,019 --> 01:10:58,953
At current production rates,
about three and a half years.

968
01:10:58,955 --> 01:11:00,855
Oh, well that don't
sound too bad.

969
01:11:02,359 --> 01:11:03,958
Why can't we just drill the
rest of that lease ourselves?

970
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:05,760
The Reagan well's cuttin' water

971
01:11:06,830 --> 01:11:08,963
and history's taught
me when you get water,

972
01:11:08,965 --> 01:11:10,865
that water's just
gonna increase.

973
01:11:12,302 --> 01:11:14,802
I don't make money if you
boys don't make money.

974
01:11:14,804 --> 01:11:18,539
Our oil in the ground today
will produce hefty returns.

975
01:11:18,541 --> 01:11:20,942
Hell, we might even
find another East Texas.

976
01:11:20,944 --> 01:11:22,410
Or Scurry County.

977
01:11:25,682 --> 01:11:27,415
I'm gonna drill
these wells on my own

978
01:11:27,417 --> 01:11:29,484
or with other partners if
y'all ain't interested.

979
01:11:29,486 --> 01:11:32,754
Hold on a minute Jim, nobody
said we weren't interested.

980
01:11:32,756 --> 01:11:34,022
Good.

981
01:11:34,024 --> 01:11:37,292
After this next string
of wildcats, we'll

982
01:11:37,294 --> 01:11:41,496
take that safari trip courtesy
of McNeely Oil of course.

983
01:11:41,498 --> 01:11:42,697
All right.

984
01:11:42,699 --> 01:11:44,032
I don't know if you
gentlemen know this

985
01:11:44,034 --> 01:11:45,833
but one of my life's
great ambitions

986
01:11:45,835 --> 01:11:47,935
is to kill every
species that exists.

987
01:11:47,937 --> 01:11:49,570
I got about 100 of 'em so far.

988
01:11:50,807 --> 01:11:53,508
Let me know when you get
around to homo sapiens,

989
01:11:53,510 --> 01:11:56,377
so I can hide.
(men chuckle)

990
01:11:56,379 --> 01:11:57,812
My wife's a comedienne.

991
01:11:57,814 --> 01:12:01,716
Oh Jim, I have been dying
to kill an elephant.

992
01:12:01,718 --> 01:12:04,819
Honey, I'll fix it
so that you kill

993
01:12:04,821 --> 01:12:07,488
the biggest damn
elephant in Africa.

994
01:12:07,490 --> 01:12:09,757
You could mount his foot
for an umbrella stand,

995
01:12:09,759 --> 01:12:11,326
paint his toenails gold.

996
01:12:12,529 --> 01:12:14,662
Dent, line up a safari.

997
01:12:16,066 --> 01:12:18,933
You should come too, we'll
need somebody to mix drinks.

998
01:12:21,037 --> 01:12:21,969
Yes B'wana.

999
01:12:24,908 --> 01:12:28,576
[Jim] Well boys, this next
string's gonna be real nice.

1000
01:12:30,347 --> 01:12:33,581
Don't worry too much about
this circus, little buddy.

1001
01:12:33,583 --> 01:12:35,683
There are very few
people in this jolly new

1002
01:12:35,685 --> 01:12:39,053
milieu of ours who live lives
of any real significance.

1003
01:12:39,889 --> 01:12:41,889
All our new playmates seem to

1004
01:12:41,891 --> 01:12:44,359
dedicate their lives to
pleasuring themselves.

1005
01:12:44,361 --> 01:12:47,362
Sybarites, stay up
late, drink deep

1006
01:12:47,364 --> 01:12:49,364
from the laughing
waters and burn your

1007
01:12:49,366 --> 01:12:51,899
incense at sunset
to the God of Fun.

1008
01:12:53,370 --> 01:12:54,068
Count me out.

1009
01:12:55,638 --> 01:12:58,840
(tepid ensemble music)

1010
01:13:00,944 --> 01:13:03,111
The cabbie's loaded up.

1011
01:13:04,147 --> 01:13:06,147
I'm too close to
home to not go see it

1012
01:13:07,784 --> 01:13:09,150
and by golly, close that deal.

1013
01:13:09,152 --> 01:13:10,084
I always do.

1014
01:13:11,521 --> 01:13:14,389
I got a good feeling
about this next prospect.

1015
01:13:14,391 --> 01:13:15,890
It might be enough to retire on.

1016
01:13:16,793 --> 01:13:18,860
Wouldn't that be nice?

1017
01:13:20,497 --> 01:13:21,763
Someday we will, hon.

1018
01:13:22,565 --> 01:13:23,498
Hey.

1019
01:13:27,637 --> 01:13:28,536
I know.

1020
01:13:31,808 --> 01:13:34,675
Drive safe sugar,
I'll see you tomorrow.

1021
01:13:34,677 --> 01:13:35,710
Tell dad hi.

1022
01:13:58,868 --> 01:14:02,203
This old knee's givin'
me a little trouble.

1023
01:14:02,205 --> 01:14:06,007
But nothing an ice pack and
a shot of rye can't fix.

1024
01:14:08,812 --> 01:14:10,445
Enough about my health.

1025
01:14:12,715 --> 01:14:13,648
Spill it.

1026
01:14:14,784 --> 01:14:15,750
What's wrong?

1027
01:14:16,886 --> 01:14:17,952
You didn't drive all the way

1028
01:14:17,954 --> 01:14:19,687
out here just to make me dinner.

1029
01:14:20,623 --> 01:14:22,457
It's an empty life we're living.

1030
01:14:23,726 --> 01:14:27,028
All these men he used to
know now swarming around us

1031
01:14:28,064 --> 01:14:29,931
just because he
struck a few wells.

1032
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,100
But he's trying to be a
part of something that

1033
01:14:34,170 --> 01:14:38,072
I just don't care about.
- Oil men want respect.

1034
01:14:39,075 --> 01:14:40,575
It's a disease.

1035
01:14:42,512 --> 01:14:45,646
It makes most crazy
and others crooked.

1036
01:14:45,648 --> 01:14:48,082
Breaks the hearts of the
strong and rewards a few

1037
01:14:48,084 --> 01:14:53,154
lucky ones with wealth and
power beyond their deserving.

1038
01:14:53,156 --> 01:14:55,656
Jim thinks he lost
his luck at Scurry.

1039
01:14:57,894 --> 01:14:58,993
Maybe he did.

1040
01:14:59,863 --> 01:15:01,696
Help him find his luck, darling.

1041
01:15:03,199 --> 01:15:07,602
Do that and you'll both be
necessary to one another.

1042
01:15:09,606 --> 01:15:13,274
(tepid piano, trumpet music)

1043
01:15:25,221 --> 01:15:29,156
(singing in French)

1044
01:15:48,811 --> 01:15:50,211
[Mazie] Oh.

1045
01:15:50,213 --> 01:15:51,145
Jim.

1046
01:15:52,048 --> 01:15:54,248
(moaning)

1047
01:16:02,091 --> 01:16:03,624
(Mazie screams)

1048
01:16:18,808 --> 01:16:20,107
Nothing?

1049
01:16:20,109 --> 01:16:21,809
What the hell do
you mean by nothing?

1050
01:16:21,811 --> 01:16:23,210
She doesn't want anything.

1051
01:16:24,213 --> 01:16:26,681
Not the house, no money.

1052
01:16:26,683 --> 01:16:27,949
Just the divorce.

1053
01:16:28,985 --> 01:16:30,284
She's got a legal
right to what's hers.

1054
01:16:30,286 --> 01:16:32,153
She said she can work

1055
01:16:32,155 --> 01:16:37,091
and you'll need all the
money you have and then some.

1056
01:16:37,093 --> 01:16:38,125
What?

1057
01:16:38,127 --> 01:16:39,894
What the hell does that mean?

1058
01:16:39,896 --> 01:16:42,296
Listen, you find
out what I'm worth

1059
01:16:42,298 --> 01:16:44,231
and she'll damn sure
take half of that.

1060
01:16:44,233 --> 01:16:46,267
You go back and lay that
on the line right now.

1061
01:16:46,269 --> 01:16:47,702
Why don't you go?

1062
01:16:47,704 --> 01:16:50,004
I sent word I wanted to meet.

1063
01:16:50,006 --> 01:16:51,606
What else am I supposed to do?

1064
01:16:51,608 --> 01:16:54,141
In the spot you're in buddy,
you don't send emissaries.

1065
01:16:54,143 --> 01:16:55,343
You get over there, you get down

1066
01:16:55,345 --> 01:16:58,012
on your knees and
beg for forgiveness.

1067
01:16:58,014 --> 01:17:00,047
Unless of course you
want this divorce.

1068
01:17:10,026 --> 01:17:13,094
(soft violin tones)

1069
01:17:31,014 --> 01:17:32,413
(knocking)

1070
01:17:35,718 --> 01:17:37,985
[Lee] Who is it?

1071
01:17:37,987 --> 01:17:39,086
[Jim] It's me, Lee.

1072
01:17:46,229 --> 01:17:49,964
What do you want?

1073
01:17:49,966 --> 01:17:51,098
[Jim] I want to talk.

1074
01:17:53,403 --> 01:17:55,102
What do you wanna talk about?

1075
01:17:56,873 --> 01:17:59,006
I didn't mean to hurt
you, it just happened.

1076
01:17:59,008 --> 01:18:01,909
It's just stupid drunken
behavior, that's all.

1077
01:18:03,279 --> 01:18:05,146
You've loved her
since she left you.

1078
01:18:05,148 --> 01:18:06,714
No.

1079
01:18:06,716 --> 01:18:07,765
No.

1080
01:18:07,766 --> 01:18:08,815
[Lee] This is exactly what you

1081
01:18:08,818 --> 01:18:10,184
wanted and you
damn well know it.

1082
01:18:11,421 --> 01:18:13,821
Just get outta here so we
can get this over with.

1083
01:18:16,426 --> 01:18:19,193
I've suffered long enough,
you son of a bitch.

1084
01:18:20,697 --> 01:18:23,898
(somber violin music)

1085
01:18:30,073 --> 01:18:31,939
It's over now, I'm done with it.

1086
01:18:35,144 --> 01:18:37,044
Please, I love you.
[Lee] Go away.

1087
01:18:38,114 --> 01:18:39,180
Leave me alone.

1088
01:18:40,149 --> 01:18:42,016
I never want to see you again.

1089
01:19:23,226 --> 01:19:26,427
(somber violin music)

1090
01:19:35,171 --> 01:19:38,038
(Mazie laughing)

1091
01:19:50,219 --> 01:19:53,420
(mechanical creaking)

1092
01:19:57,960 --> 01:19:59,026
Goddammit.

1093
01:20:00,530 --> 01:20:04,498
Shut this son of a bitch
down right now, we're empty.

1094
01:20:04,500 --> 01:20:06,333
This is my eighth dry well

1095
01:20:06,335 --> 01:20:08,369
in a row and it
better be the last.

1096
01:20:08,371 --> 01:20:11,405
Shit Jim, you say that like
I'm a rock-sniffin' geologist.

1097
01:20:11,407 --> 01:20:14,508
I ain't nothin' but a two-bit
pie-playing son of a bitch.

1098
01:20:15,978 --> 01:20:18,879
I told you all not to eat that
bone-in chicken on the rig.

1099
01:20:20,917 --> 01:20:21,849
Bad luck.

1100
01:20:23,486 --> 01:20:24,385
Bad luck.

1101
01:20:24,387 --> 01:20:27,521
(somber violin music)

1102
01:20:27,523 --> 01:20:31,258
[Jim] You didn't wish
me a happy birthday.

1103
01:20:31,260 --> 01:20:32,893
Happy birthday, Jim.

1104
01:20:35,932 --> 01:20:36,864
Happy.

1105
01:20:39,168 --> 01:20:42,870
It's a stupid word, it
doesn't mean anything.

1106
01:20:42,872 --> 01:20:47,241
[Jim] You measure it by success.
- Successful birthday then.

1107
01:20:47,243 --> 01:20:49,844
A man who owes $3 million and is

1108
01:20:49,846 --> 01:20:52,213
only 36 has gotta be successful.

1109
01:20:53,282 --> 01:20:54,949
I wouldn't ride that
theory too long.

1110
01:20:54,951 --> 01:20:57,151
So what if we hadn't
found another East Texas,

1111
01:20:57,153 --> 01:20:59,153
we got reserves in the ground.

1112
01:20:59,155 --> 01:21:02,556
And our investors are starting
to doubt those reserves.

1113
01:21:02,558 --> 01:21:05,526
Look, I like risks
just as much as you do

1114
01:21:05,528 --> 01:21:07,261
but sometimes I wish
you'd let some of these

1115
01:21:07,263 --> 01:21:09,597
deals pay out before
we get in any deeper.

1116
01:21:09,599 --> 01:21:11,999
Stop being so neurotic.

1117
01:21:12,001 --> 01:21:14,034
We'll hit a sweet spot soon.

1118
01:21:15,271 --> 01:21:16,570
I'm just being realistic

1119
01:21:18,107 --> 01:21:20,074
and I wish you'd
take off that tire.

1120
01:21:20,076 --> 01:21:21,275
It makes me feel like I'm one

1121
01:21:21,277 --> 01:21:23,410
heartbeat away
from unemployment.

1122
01:21:23,412 --> 01:21:27,014
Ah hell Denty boy, I've had
too much fun puttin' it on.

1123
01:21:27,016 --> 01:21:30,017
Besides, I got a heart

1124
01:21:30,019 --> 01:21:32,353
that's stronger than
bull rhinoceros hide.

1125
01:21:35,358 --> 01:21:38,025
You know it's Lee's
birthday in a couple days.

1126
01:21:38,027 --> 01:21:40,361
Send her some flowers,
see if she needs anything.

1127
01:21:40,363 --> 01:21:41,629
Already taken care of.

1128
01:21:45,034 --> 01:21:47,401
Now there's a gift
worth the wait.

1129
01:21:47,403 --> 01:21:49,370
Isn't it lovely to be married to

1130
01:21:49,372 --> 01:21:52,306
a man who buys me
presents on his birthday?

1131
01:21:54,243 --> 01:21:55,476
Are you boys ready to go?

1132
01:21:56,412 --> 01:21:57,378
I'm ready.

1133
01:21:58,915 --> 01:22:00,547
[Mazie] I love my bracelet.

1134
01:22:01,951 --> 01:22:05,219
(anxious violin tones)

1135
01:22:09,325 --> 01:22:10,991
The Bison stock's done well.

1136
01:22:12,194 --> 01:22:15,029
It sounds like you've
got a nice nest egg.

1137
01:22:16,632 --> 01:22:17,631
They don't care a damn about

1138
01:22:17,633 --> 01:22:20,434
a geologist who put in 20 years.

1139
01:22:20,436 --> 01:22:23,037
I'll be scratchin' by just
to make my retirement.

1140
01:22:24,307 --> 01:22:26,540
Somebody somewhere
must owe you something.

1141
01:22:29,345 --> 01:22:31,478
I'm standing here
with my hand out,

1142
01:22:31,480 --> 01:22:33,113
waiting for the mana to drop.

1143
01:22:34,350 --> 01:22:35,950
I got news for you, buddy.

1144
01:22:36,953 --> 01:22:37,685
Mana don't drop.

1145
01:22:39,055 --> 01:22:41,088
You gotta reach up and pluck it.

1146
01:22:43,059 --> 01:22:44,291
I don't know how, Jim.

1147
01:22:45,161 --> 01:22:46,226
Never been able to.

1148
01:22:48,164 --> 01:22:51,398
This whole country's
riddles with damn holes.

1149
01:22:53,502 --> 01:22:55,602
Every time they drill a new one,

1150
01:22:55,604 --> 01:22:57,404
that's one less place to try.

1151
01:22:59,241 --> 01:23:00,975
I'm tired of drilling blind.

1152
01:23:02,144 --> 01:23:04,578
I got the rigs, I know
where to get the money

1153
01:23:06,048 --> 01:23:08,515
and I can drill better than
anyone in this goddamn state.

1154
01:23:09,518 --> 01:23:10,451
But...

1155
01:23:11,287 --> 01:23:12,686
I gotta know where to drill.

1156
01:23:17,193 --> 01:23:18,325
You tell me where

1157
01:23:19,662 --> 01:23:23,230
and you will never draw
another poor breath again.

1158
01:23:24,734 --> 01:23:26,734
Am I being too subtle
for you, Barry?

1159
01:23:26,736 --> 01:23:27,668
No.

1160
01:23:29,238 --> 01:23:31,005
You're not being subtle, Jim.

1161
01:23:31,007 --> 01:23:34,241
It sounds like you're
talkin' about larceny.

1162
01:23:37,713 --> 01:23:40,447
[Jim] It's just a little
map with a dot on it.

1163
01:23:43,252 --> 01:23:47,187
(anxious violin, piano music)

1164
01:23:55,364 --> 01:23:58,098
(Lee laughing)

1165
01:23:58,534 --> 01:24:00,634
Baby, are you okay?

1166
01:24:02,304 --> 01:24:04,071
Never better.

1167
01:24:04,073 --> 01:24:05,439
I was beginning to
look like a ragdoll,

1168
01:24:05,441 --> 01:24:08,308
so I had to go shopping.

1169
01:24:08,310 --> 01:24:11,345
The Neiman's card was declined
but I just paid in cash.

1170
01:24:12,214 --> 01:24:13,814
Buy whatever the hell you need.

1171
01:24:15,584 --> 01:24:16,517
Jim.

1172
01:24:19,488 --> 01:24:22,656
This house is a far cry
from Bowie Street, ain't it?

1173
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:25,626
Jim, what's wrong baby?

1174
01:24:28,564 --> 01:24:32,433
(somber violin, piano music)

1175
01:24:48,350 --> 01:24:51,618
Good morning, sunshine.
This won't wash, Jim.

1176
01:24:51,620 --> 01:24:53,587
Leave Barry Wakely
out of your schemes.

1177
01:24:53,589 --> 01:24:55,089
You can do whatever
the hell you want

1178
01:24:55,091 --> 01:24:57,291
with Bison but
leave Barry alone.

1179
01:24:58,394 --> 01:25:00,394
It's funny how it
comes full circle.

1180
01:25:00,396 --> 01:25:02,763
You feeling sorry for
poor old Bison Oil

1181
01:25:02,765 --> 01:25:04,665
Company that's got more
money than Uncle Sugar.

1182
01:25:04,667 --> 01:25:06,166
You can't wreck a man like that

1183
01:25:06,168 --> 01:25:08,569
and get away with it,
it will wreck you too.

1184
01:25:08,571 --> 01:25:10,137
I see you got your preacher
suit on,

1185
01:25:10,139 --> 01:25:11,305
today, ready
to give me hell.

1186
01:25:11,307 --> 01:25:14,174
Well Barry has got
a retarded son who's

1187
01:25:14,176 --> 01:25:17,177
gonna wreck his life is he
doesn't get money somewhere.

1188
01:25:18,214 --> 01:25:19,379
You know you've
gotten mighty damn

1189
01:25:19,381 --> 01:25:22,349
spoiled workin' for
me livin' it up.

1190
01:25:22,351 --> 01:25:25,519
You're a real exotic
little gentleman

1191
01:25:25,521 --> 01:25:27,354
with mighty expensive tastes.

1192
01:25:28,424 --> 01:25:29,857
But if this outfit goes bust,

1193
01:25:29,859 --> 01:25:33,160
you're gonna be out on
your ass starvin' to death.

1194
01:25:33,162 --> 01:25:36,163
So quit actin' like a
goddamn neurotic woman.

1195
01:25:36,165 --> 01:25:37,831
I'm trying to run
an oil business.

1196
01:25:37,833 --> 01:25:40,567
Jim, you can still
undo what you started.

1197
01:25:40,569 --> 01:25:43,203
We can go back to West
Texas and run our rigs.

1198
01:25:43,205 --> 01:25:44,738
So what if we've
crapped out here?

1199
01:25:44,740 --> 01:25:47,141
At least we can look in the
mirror without throwing up.

1200
01:25:47,143 --> 01:25:48,308
Get outta here.

1201
01:25:48,310 --> 01:25:50,310
Hey, don't make a
crook outta him.

1202
01:25:50,312 --> 01:25:53,180
You can be a crook because you
don't believe it's crooked.

1203
01:25:56,218 --> 01:25:59,419
Did you ever stop to
think you're a sucker fish

1204
01:26:00,723 --> 01:26:04,324
who's been living off a mean,
mean shark all these years?

1205
01:26:04,326 --> 01:26:06,193
This is Dent you're talking to.

1206
01:26:06,195 --> 01:26:09,596
Yes Dent, my
pervert philosopher.

1207
01:26:09,598 --> 01:26:12,933
As far as I'm concerned,
you're a useless queer.

1208
01:26:15,171 --> 01:26:15,936
Get outta my sight.

1209
01:26:17,273 --> 01:26:19,940
Get outta my life, I
got a well to drill.

1210
01:26:26,482 --> 01:26:28,215
I've had to live with myself

1211
01:26:28,217 --> 01:26:31,518
the best way I could,
but I never hurt anybody

1212
01:26:32,588 --> 01:26:35,289
so far as I know or
corrupted anybody

1213
01:26:35,891 --> 01:26:38,192
with my own corruption.

1214
01:26:38,194 --> 01:26:41,662
(soft somber piano tones)

1215
01:26:52,741 --> 01:26:54,608
¶ How many ¶

1216
01:26:54,610 --> 01:26:56,743
¶ Times ¶

1217
01:26:56,745 --> 01:27:01,815
¶ Have you heard someone say ¶

1218
01:27:02,551 --> 01:27:06,887
¶ If I had his money ¶

1219
01:27:06,889 --> 01:27:11,558
¶ I could do things my way ¶

1220
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:16,430
¶ But little did they know ¶

1221
01:27:16,432 --> 01:27:20,934
¶ That it's so hard to find ¶

1222
01:27:20,936 --> 01:27:25,672
¶ One rich man in 10 ¶

1223
01:27:25,674 --> 01:27:30,811
¶ With a satisfied mind ¶

1224
01:27:30,813 --> 01:27:34,948
¶ Once I was winning ¶

1225
01:27:34,950 --> 01:27:39,553
¶ In fortune and fame ¶

1226
01:27:39,555 --> 01:27:42,522
¶ Everything that
I dreamed for ¶

1227
01:27:42,524 --> 01:27:43,857
[Scottie] Jim!

1228
01:27:45,661 --> 01:27:46,593
Shit.

1229
01:27:50,266 --> 01:27:52,633
Everything is about to blow.
Let's hope so.

1230
01:27:53,769 --> 01:27:55,836
Your investors and
the New York Bank

1231
01:27:55,838 --> 01:27:58,472
both want certified audits,
they're serious Jim.

1232
01:27:58,474 --> 01:28:00,707
The hell with them,
I'm drilling a hellcat.

1233
01:28:02,444 --> 01:28:05,846
They want you to shut down
and not spend another dime.

1234
01:28:05,848 --> 01:28:08,015
Are they outta
their fuckin' minds?

1235
01:28:08,017 --> 01:28:11,685
I'm drilling a well right now
that will pay off everybody.

1236
01:28:11,687 --> 01:28:13,987
They will force you
into bankruptcy.

1237
01:28:14,790 --> 01:28:16,790
Well how long can
you hold them off?

1238
01:28:16,792 --> 01:28:18,725
Jim, I'm a lawyer.

1239
01:28:18,727 --> 01:28:21,361
Not a shyster.
- Jesus Christ!

1240
01:28:21,363 --> 01:28:23,764
When did everybody
get so goddamn moral?

1241
01:28:23,766 --> 01:28:27,968
You lawyers will steal
and lie for a rich client

1242
01:28:27,970 --> 01:28:29,770
but you run like chickens when

1243
01:28:29,772 --> 01:28:32,472
it's a poor bastard
who's in a jam.

1244
01:28:32,474 --> 01:28:35,609
You no longer represent
me, that's all Scottie.

1245
01:28:35,611 --> 01:28:38,011
(well booms)

1246
01:28:40,749 --> 01:28:44,084
(muffled shouting)

1247
01:28:44,086 --> 01:28:45,752
What the hell's going on?

1248
01:28:45,754 --> 01:28:47,054
It's just a kink, boss.

1249
01:28:47,056 --> 01:28:50,724
[Jim] Then get back
to drilling, dammit.

1250
01:28:53,495 --> 01:28:55,996
Jim has been so damn irritable.

1251
01:28:55,998 --> 01:28:58,031
I warned him if he
kept deserting me for

1252
01:28:58,033 --> 01:29:00,767
a pile of clanking
machinery that I was gonna

1253
01:29:00,769 --> 01:29:04,104
replace him with something
a little more animate.

1254
01:29:07,876 --> 01:29:09,843
I have to be honest
with you, Mazie.

1255
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:12,913
You're coming to the end of

1256
01:29:12,915 --> 01:29:14,481
the line with your
pudgy old magnate.

1257
01:29:15,951 --> 01:29:17,451
He's in trouble, your Jim.

1258
01:29:25,394 --> 01:29:27,494
It's a funny thing, isn't it?

1259
01:29:28,030 --> 01:29:29,563
What's that, sweetheart?

1260
01:29:33,535 --> 01:29:34,668
I guess

1261
01:29:34,670 --> 01:29:35,702
eventually,

1262
01:29:36,739 --> 01:29:37,838
we all wash up.

1263
01:29:38,941 --> 01:29:39,873
You?

1264
01:29:40,776 --> 01:29:42,409
Oh.

1265
01:29:42,411 --> 01:29:44,010
I would never say
that about you.

1266
01:29:45,514 --> 01:29:46,446
No, not me.

1267
01:29:47,383 --> 01:29:48,982
Not if I can help it.

1268
01:29:55,758 --> 01:29:57,691
(slap)

1269
01:29:57,693 --> 01:29:58,692
I'm...

1270
01:29:58,694 --> 01:29:59,626
so...

1271
01:30:17,045 --> 01:30:19,579
[Jim] Be better today.
- Yes sir.

1272
01:30:20,816 --> 01:30:24,951
Need some tall guys do.
- We need new daylight water.

1273
01:30:28,957 --> 01:30:31,458
(knocking)

1274
01:30:34,563 --> 01:30:35,495
What?

1275
01:30:39,902 --> 01:30:41,168
[Michael] James McNeely?

1276
01:30:42,571 --> 01:30:44,104
Who want to know?

1277
01:30:44,106 --> 01:30:45,839
[Michael] My name's
Michael Arthur,

1278
01:30:45,841 --> 01:30:47,908
Division Attorney for Bison Oil.

1279
01:30:48,544 --> 01:30:52,045
You sir are drilling on a lease
that doesn't belong to you.

1280
01:30:52,047 --> 01:30:53,547
You acquired this lease through

1281
01:30:53,549 --> 01:30:56,817
the defalcation of a
trusted Bison employee,

1282
01:30:56,819 --> 01:30:58,952
a geologist by the
name of Barry Wakely.

1283
01:31:00,889 --> 01:31:02,823
Those leases belong to Bison.

1284
01:31:04,793 --> 01:31:07,894
In order to save
embarrassing yourself,

1285
01:31:07,896 --> 01:31:09,729
my company is willing to pay any

1286
01:31:09,731 --> 01:31:11,231
out of pocket costs
you've incurred

1287
01:31:11,233 --> 01:31:14,468
provided you sign those
leases right back to us.

1288
01:31:15,604 --> 01:31:16,837
No charges will be filed against

1289
01:31:16,839 --> 01:31:18,738
you or Mr. Wakely if you do so.

1290
01:31:19,808 --> 01:31:22,576
Did Barry Wakely tell
you this bedtime story?

1291
01:31:23,679 --> 01:31:24,744
Wakely disappeared

1292
01:31:26,782 --> 01:31:30,550
and that is a clear
admission of guilt.

1293
01:31:30,552 --> 01:31:32,118
We know he's been
meeting with you.

1294
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:33,687
Yeah?

1295
01:31:33,689 --> 01:31:35,088
Yeah?

1296
01:31:35,090 --> 01:31:36,022
Yes.

1297
01:31:39,027 --> 01:31:41,995
I've known him for over
15 years, on and off.

1298
01:31:44,166 --> 01:31:45,899
He's a friend of mine.

1299
01:31:45,901 --> 01:31:48,969
We worked together at Bison

1300
01:31:48,971 --> 01:31:51,838
partnering while you were
still making mud pies.

1301
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,608
I know all about
your record at Bison

1302
01:31:54,610 --> 01:31:56,710
and I know I'm
dealing with a pro.

1303
01:31:57,813 --> 01:32:00,614
But Bison has been
unscrupulously looted

1304
01:32:01,683 --> 01:32:03,216
and we'll spare
no time or expense

1305
01:32:03,218 --> 01:32:05,151
getting back what's
rightfully ours.

1306
01:32:08,757 --> 01:32:13,193
Mister lawyer, you folks
are way outta line.

1307
01:32:13,195 --> 01:32:16,730
So you just draw up your papers

1308
01:32:17,799 --> 01:32:19,533
and sue me, hotshot.

1309
01:32:21,670 --> 01:32:23,270
We'll see you in the courthouse.

1310
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:26,940
If she's dry, I'll
buy you a drink

1311
01:32:28,010 --> 01:32:30,310
'cause nobody will
give a shit but me.

1312
01:32:30,312 --> 01:32:34,881
If she comes roaring in
like a wildcat oughta,

1313
01:32:36,084 --> 01:32:38,618
well then we'll have
something worth suing about.

1314
01:32:43,091 --> 01:32:44,958
[Jim] I hope we both
have work to do.

1315
01:32:48,063 --> 01:32:51,298
(anxious guitar tones)

1316
01:32:56,004 --> 01:32:57,070
[Ort] Jim!

1317
01:32:58,974 --> 01:32:59,839
What?

1318
01:32:59,841 --> 01:33:00,774
I'm running late.

1319
01:33:00,776 --> 01:33:04,811
It's the crew, we's
two weeks late on pay.

1320
01:33:04,813 --> 01:33:08,682
[Jim] I got it covered,
just keep drilling.

1321
01:33:32,641 --> 01:33:36,876
Mr. McNeely, how about
upgrading your Corvette today?

1322
01:33:36,878 --> 01:33:39,079
Shit Red, how about
buying her back?

1323
01:33:39,081 --> 01:33:42,382
Never did like the color
my wife picked out anyhow.

1324
01:33:42,384 --> 01:33:43,850
But it's gotta be cash.

1325
01:33:43,852 --> 01:33:45,285
Cash will cost you, Jim.

1326
01:33:46,688 --> 01:33:48,221
But I'm sure we can
work something out.

1327
01:33:48,223 --> 01:33:49,956
Put it here, partner.
Great.

1328
01:33:49,958 --> 01:33:52,159
[Red] Come on let's go in here,

1329
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:54,361
I'll buy you a drink boy.
[Jim] I can use a couple, Red.

1330
01:33:56,098 --> 01:33:59,366
(relaxed guitar tones)

1331
01:34:00,702 --> 01:34:01,635
Dent?

1332
01:34:02,938 --> 01:34:06,106
Dent Paxton, where have
you been you naughty boy?

1333
01:34:10,846 --> 01:34:12,379
Mexico's changed.

1334
01:34:13,248 --> 01:34:15,348
The colors have faded and gone.

1335
01:34:17,219 --> 01:34:20,220
I can't imagine
that, how could it?

1336
01:34:20,222 --> 01:34:24,057
It's true, they were vivid once.

1337
01:34:24,059 --> 01:34:25,859
Now they've all gone white.

1338
01:34:27,929 --> 01:34:32,232
So I came back home, home
is where the heart is.

1339
01:34:32,234 --> 01:34:33,433
Isn't that touching?

1340
01:34:36,038 --> 01:34:38,205
I made it up.

1341
01:34:38,206 --> 01:34:40,373
Dent, whatever it is,
it won't last forever.

1342
01:34:41,977 --> 01:34:43,443
Life is strange is all.

1343
01:34:44,846 --> 01:34:48,014
You only need to breathe
and to love to enjoy it.

1344
01:34:49,317 --> 01:34:52,318
But we make it so complicated
for no understandable reason.

1345
01:34:55,323 --> 01:34:57,157
Why?

1346
01:34:57,159 --> 01:35:00,460
(anxious violin music)

1347
01:35:55,951 --> 01:35:57,016
Goddammit.

1348
01:35:58,286 --> 01:36:01,488
(somber violin music)

1349
01:37:07,255 --> 01:37:09,923
Munson, can I get a goddamn
drink in here or what?

1350
01:37:10,859 --> 01:37:11,591
Mr. McNeely,

1351
01:37:13,261 --> 01:37:15,595
I seen Mr. Paxton here
just a few minutes ago.

1352
01:37:16,865 --> 01:37:18,431
I thought he was
going for fresh air.

1353
01:37:27,375 --> 01:37:29,075
Where did he go, Mr. Munson?

1354
01:37:31,146 --> 01:37:34,347
(somber violin music)

1355
01:37:46,361 --> 01:37:51,464
(sirens blaring)

1356
01:38:41,683 --> 01:38:43,683
Best man I ever knew.

1357
01:38:45,153 --> 01:38:46,085
Yeah.

1358
01:38:49,624 --> 01:38:51,691
Too good for this world.

1359
01:38:54,930 --> 01:38:57,363
We hit 12,000 feet but
we need to pull the bit.

1360
01:38:59,100 --> 01:39:00,333
We only got 400 feet to go,

1361
01:39:00,335 --> 01:39:02,502
can't you just keep
turning her right?

1362
01:39:04,005 --> 01:39:05,405
It'll run the cone
off if we don't

1363
01:39:05,407 --> 01:39:07,407
pull the bit up
out of that hole.

1364
01:39:07,409 --> 01:39:09,275
Goddammit, just snake
that pipe out of that

1365
01:39:09,277 --> 01:39:11,511
hole and put the new
drill bit on right now.

1366
01:39:13,014 --> 01:39:14,080
Do it, Ort.

1367
01:39:17,352 --> 01:39:18,952
All right, Jim.

1368
01:39:26,127 --> 01:39:27,126
Fuck.

1369
01:39:27,128 --> 01:39:30,396
(anxious guitar music)

1370
01:39:49,284 --> 01:39:51,985
[Ort] Take the drill, you
see that bit in there?

1371
01:39:51,987 --> 01:39:53,152
[Worker] Yes sir.
- All right well

1372
01:39:53,154 --> 01:39:56,022
pitch it out, pull
that son of a bitch off.

1373
01:39:56,024 --> 01:39:57,390
[Man] Yes sir.
[Ort] How long that gonna take?

1374
01:39:57,392 --> 01:40:00,760
[Man] Couple hours.
[Ort] Bullshit, let's move it.

1375
01:40:04,466 --> 01:40:07,567
Get that bit outta
there before noon.

1376
01:40:07,569 --> 01:40:09,035
Let's go, boys.

1377
01:40:10,305 --> 01:40:14,107
Ain't got time here to
dally, let's go, come on.

1378
01:40:16,177 --> 01:40:18,644
Move your ass!

1379
01:40:24,519 --> 01:40:29,088
[Ort] Shit, gas! Clear, gas!
Everybody clear out!

1380
01:40:30,425 --> 01:40:34,427
(anxious violin, guitar tones)

1381
01:41:17,272 --> 01:41:18,404
Hey Jim.

1382
01:41:19,441 --> 01:41:20,373
Jim,

1383
01:41:21,309 --> 01:41:22,508
come on buddy.

1384
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:26,245
Jim, you all right?

1385
01:41:27,715 --> 01:41:31,617
(soft somber ensemble music)

1386
01:41:58,513 --> 01:42:01,314
(Jim weeping)

1387
01:42:01,316 --> 01:42:02,648
You okay, buddy?

1388
01:42:05,420 --> 01:42:06,619
[Nurse] He broke
his arm and several

1389
01:42:06,621 --> 01:42:08,254
ribs but that's not
the main trouble.

1390
01:42:08,256 --> 01:42:10,756
He's had a massive
coronary thrombosis.

1391
01:42:10,758 --> 01:42:13,793
He's sedated but he's conscious.

1392
01:42:13,795 --> 01:42:16,329
I'm glad you're here,
you must be his wife.

1393
01:42:17,632 --> 01:42:19,599
Um...

1394
01:42:20,869 --> 01:42:22,468
Yes.

1395
01:42:22,470 --> 01:42:23,669
I thought so, he's been

1396
01:42:23,671 --> 01:42:26,172
saying your name all
night. Lee, right?

1397
01:42:31,179 --> 01:42:34,380
(somber violin music)

1398
01:42:58,740 --> 01:42:59,672
Hey.

1399
01:43:07,749 --> 01:43:08,681
Say.

1400
01:43:14,622 --> 01:43:17,290
I had the worst damn nightmare.

1401
01:43:19,861 --> 01:43:20,793
You left me

1402
01:43:23,464 --> 01:43:25,264
and I married that
grubber Mazie.

1403
01:43:27,535 --> 01:43:28,467
It was awful.

1404
01:43:33,741 --> 01:43:35,341
Dent killed himself.

1405
01:43:41,749 --> 01:43:42,682
And Ort...

1406
01:43:48,356 --> 01:43:50,823
I can still smell the swamp gas.

1407
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:55,561
(somber violin music)

1408
01:44:47,615 --> 01:44:48,547
Jimmy.

1409
01:44:53,621 --> 01:44:56,789
(relaxed violin music)

1410
01:45:00,762 --> 01:45:01,694
Hi.

1411
01:45:15,043 --> 01:45:17,443
[Boy] Are you daddy?
- Yeah.

1412
01:45:18,079 --> 01:45:20,513
You a little cowboy?

1413
01:45:20,515 --> 01:45:23,049
[Boy] Did you see that?
- Yeah, it's a chicken.

1414
01:45:24,052 --> 01:45:25,584
[Jimmy] It's a chicken.

1415
01:45:29,924 --> 01:45:31,991
[Lee] Come on, boys.

1416
01:45:31,993 --> 01:45:36,662
(relaxed country
guitar, piano music)

1417
01:46:31,486 --> 01:46:35,588
(relaxed country
music continues)
