00:00The White Line is the lifeline to a nation, and men like Will and Sonny make it move.
00:23A good hot cup of coffee is waiting up ahead, and the rhythm of the highway hums along.
00:31Jammin' gears has got to be a fever, cause men become addicted to the grind.
00:39It takes a special breed to be a truck-drivin' man, get a steady hand to hold that low gear down.
00:48Big wheels rollin', gotta keep them goin', big wheels rollin' movin' on.
01:18♪
01:47You know, if one of these things ever fell on you, you'd have flat feet for life.
01:51Well, I'm sure glad I'm a specialist.
01:54I always wondered what you were.
01:57Look at that thing.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Must be a million dollars under here.
02:02Or nothin'. Just dust.
02:08It's mighty expensive drilling for nothin'.
02:10You got no idea.
02:12I know what these casings cost.
02:14Peanuts.
02:15Paul Ormell.
02:16Sonny Pruitt.
02:17My partner, Will Chandler.
02:18How do you do?
02:19You the boss?
02:20I'm the boss's son.
02:23I mean, my son's the boss.
02:25Harry.
02:28Well, that's a switch.
02:29The old man workin' for his kid.
02:31You don't mean I'm an old man.
02:33You just mean I'm his old man.
02:36Yeah, that's what I mean.
02:38When do you think you'll, uh, you'll strike?
02:41Tell you somethin'.
02:43I've been in oil off and on since 1930.
02:46You weren't even a gleam.
02:48And you never know when.
02:50Never know if.
02:52Well, you're here, you must figure on it.
02:56I'm a schoolteacher.
02:57Geology.
02:59They retired me.
03:01Harry thinks he's doin' me a favor.
03:03Well, we'd like to get paid.
03:08You know, that son of yours works pretty hard for a boss.
03:12He doesn't have to do it.
03:14He's just a stubborn mule.
03:16He likes to get involved with all that dirt and grime.
03:23Damn fool.
03:24Shut off switch four!
03:50Get on the horse and call a doctor.
04:20Call a doctor!
04:50All right, wait up.
05:18Take it up the top.
05:19Take it up.
05:20Take up the slack.
05:28Ease him down.
05:30Get him down.
05:33Swing him out.
05:38Get him as good as you can.
05:46Now ease him down.
05:47Swing him out a little.
05:50Ease him down.
05:51Get him.
05:59He's gonna be okay, Mr. Waller.
06:01Thanks.
06:02All right, let's get him into his trailer.
06:16You okay?
06:18Yeah, fine.
06:19Well?
06:21Yeah.
06:29How about a drink?
06:31You got one?
06:32Sure.
06:33Come with me.
06:34Whoa.
06:48Wow, wow, wow.
06:49What's that?
06:50There ain't always how to live.
06:51What'll you have?
06:52Got any beer?
06:53You?
06:54Yeah, beer.
06:55Plenty of that.
07:00Beautiful.
07:01You're the hero.
07:03Nothing to it.
07:04There was a time in my life that hardly a week went by that I didn't save somebody's life.
07:12Hey.
07:15I can talk, Pop.
07:17Can't you learn to relax for just ten seconds?
07:19Well, that couldn't have been important.
07:22Besides, I can't stay here forever.
07:24I mean, that's only one oil well out there.
07:26After I bring this one in, I gotta bring them in in Canada and Alaska.
07:32I should have known you'd turn out crazy.
07:35When you were a kid and you asked for your own phone instead of an electric train.
07:39I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
07:41I'm gonna send over some Nova Scotia salmon for you, okay?
07:45That's all I need.
07:50Put the watch on.
07:51Right, gotcha.
07:52Okay.
07:53How's your boy?
08:12Oh, I guess he'll be all right.
08:15Like I told you, he's stubborn as a mule.
08:17He wouldn't wait for the doctor.
08:20Only the good die young.
08:23I'll appreciate what you did when you take a chance.
08:28Mind if I ask you a personal question?
08:31Shoot.
08:33You fellas, uh, like what you do?
08:36Most of the time.
08:38Some of the time.
08:40You make a good living?
08:42Goodbye.
08:44Mr. Lorimer, you got something on your mind?
08:47Not mine.
08:49Something on Harry's mind.
08:51He wants to talk to you.
08:52He wants you to come over to the country club.
08:55What does he want to talk to us about?
08:58Well, I'll let him tell you.
09:00You don't sound too, uh, enthusiastic.
09:03Just say no.
09:05Believe me.
09:06Say no.
09:31You mean he lives here?
09:34Yeah, he says the towels here are terrific.
09:36He loves it.
09:37Holdouts.
09:38Every one of them.
09:40Wow.
09:41He's even got a set of golf clubs he says he may use one of these days.
09:45Well, let's go.
09:46He may fire me for being late.
09:48What are you, sore on him?
09:50Oh, he's a great kid.
09:52Proud of him.
09:53Except every once in a while he flips out.
09:56That makes me out to be a poor father, huh?
10:05What's my name?
10:06What?
10:08Come on.
10:09I'll get you a towel of your own.
10:11Come on.
10:26Yeah, Jasper.
10:33Yeah.
10:34Have I ever steered you wrong?
10:36Okay.
10:37So I've steered you wrong.
10:39But not this time.
10:41Yeah.
10:42Really gonna hit big.
10:43Look, Jasper, all I'm talking about is a lousy $250,000.
10:48Well, I'll settle for $100,000.
10:51You want one of these?
10:52No.
10:54Yeah, yeah.
10:57Don't say I never did you a favor.
11:00Yeah.
11:03Sure, no hard feelings, Jasper.
11:05Thanks, pal.
11:07So Jasper Phillips turned you down, huh?
11:10Who needs him?
11:11Don't worry about him.
11:13You guys are good luck to me.
11:15I like your style.
11:16Style?
11:17I like you.
11:18I can trust you.
11:19I can see it in your faces.
11:21How would you like to work for me?
11:24Come on.
11:43What was it, Sonny?
11:46You don't have to do that.
11:48I know it.
11:49I need reliable people around me, more than anything.
11:52That's what I need.
11:54Mr. Varner, we can't take money for what we did.
11:56We were just there.
11:57That's all there is to it.
11:58Look, here's the deal.
11:59That oil well is coming in soon.
12:01And I need a couple of guys that I can trust
12:03to handle oil storage, shipping.
12:06And you're the guys.
12:08Oh, sorry.
12:10I didn't get your name.
12:12Chandler.
12:13Will Chandler.
12:14This is for $1,000.
12:16Every week.
12:18Little things get better.
12:20Hey, Will.
12:22Welcome to the team.
12:24Mr. Lorimer.
12:25Harry.
12:26Mr. Lorimer is my father.
12:28Don't blame me.
12:30This is very generous, but we can't take money
12:32for helping somebody out of a jam.
12:35That's not the reason.
12:37I don't pay $1,000 a week for a guy to save my life.
12:39Him, I give a medal.
12:40You want a medal?
12:41I'll give you a medal.
12:42The reason I'm hiring you is because I need
12:44a couple of guys with savvy to handle my oil
12:46when we strike.
12:47Well, thank you, but I got a business.
12:49An indie trucking business.
12:50Sell it.
12:51Get rid of it.
12:52Look, you want a new way of life, don't you?
12:54I'm talking about all this.
12:55Money.
12:57Real money.
13:00Tell you what.
13:01Think it over.
13:03I'll give it to you tomorrow.
13:04Now, be good.
13:05I got some calls tonight.
13:15Hello.
13:17Yeah.
13:18Good to hear your voice.
13:20Listen, Lou, tell me.
13:21How does the figure $250,000 strike you?
13:29What'd you do that for?
13:31I see how high it would bounce.
13:33Let's find out.
13:37Don't worry about it, Lou.
13:38Thanks anyway.
13:39All right?
13:43You carry $1,000 a week each?
13:48They brought me luck.
13:49Besides, they got faces you can trust.
13:51Like yours, Pop.
13:53But that's $2,000 a week.
13:55Worth it.
13:57They'll help me.
14:00I don't understand the oil operation anymore.
14:05I keep telling you, Pop.
14:08It's not the way it used to be.
14:38I'm sorry.
14:39I'm sorry.
14:40I'm sorry.
14:41I'm sorry.
14:42I'm sorry.
14:43I'm sorry.
14:44I'm sorry.
14:45I'm sorry.
14:46I'm sorry.
14:47I'm sorry.
14:48I'm sorry.
14:49I'm sorry.
14:50I'm sorry.
14:51I'm sorry.
14:52I'm sorry.
14:53I'm sorry.
14:54I'm sorry.
14:55I'm sorry.
14:56I'm sorry.
14:57I'm sorry.
14:58I'm sorry.
14:59I'm sorry.
15:00I'm sorry.
15:01I'm sorry.
15:02I'm sorry.
15:03I'm sorry.
15:04I'm sorry.
15:05I'm sorry.
15:06I'm sorry.
15:07I'm sorry.
15:08I'm sorry.
15:09I'm sorry.
15:10I'm sorry.
15:11I'm sorry.
15:12I'm sorry.
15:13I'm sorry.
15:14I'm sorry.
15:15I'm sorry.
15:16Yes, sir.
15:17May I help you?
15:23Yeah.
15:24Check for a thousand dollars.
15:27I've got one, two...
15:30I'd like it in cash, please.
15:34Cash, please.
15:36Excuse me, just a moment.
15:45I have a feeling we're going to get arrested.
15:47I think it's too late to just quietly sneak out.
15:58Do you have some identification, a driver's license?
16:01Yes.
16:05It's kind of a bad picture.
16:06I think it looks just like you.
16:10I'll need your signature, please.
16:14And how would you like it?
16:17Just mix it up.
16:18Check is good.
16:20Certainly is. They both are.
16:22They're not rubber.
16:24What do we do now?
16:25100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1,000.
16:50How far is Twin Falls?
16:52125.
16:53Well, you know, if there's one thing I like, it's warm beer.
16:57The English love warm beer.
16:59That's why they lost the empire.
17:01You mind, kid?
17:03You know the rubber you thought was in the check?
17:06It's in the ham and cheese.
17:07Terrific motel.
17:10It's not very pretty, but at least it's noisy.
17:13Yeah.
17:14Food is on the glass, a hot apple pie is 50 cents a throw.
17:17Hey, how'd you like this place out at the country club?
17:20It's not bad if you're a luxury freak.
17:23People are talking pretty smooth, but pretty heavy.
17:27250,000 bucks.
17:30Well, that's a 125-week salary each.
17:331,000 a week.
17:35You know, that's 50 grand a year.
17:38Did we get an expense account?
17:40Hey, I hope so.
17:42Check the towels.
17:45It never crossed my mind.
17:47Well, TV is remote.
17:50Yeah, was it?
17:51Very.
17:51You know this guy Harry?
17:53He's a shoestring operator, but he's got a lot of drive.
17:55He could hit oil in the next 50 feet or nothing but dust.
17:58It's a tough business.
17:59Well, either we're gonna take a high-flying shot
18:03and help him with the well, or else we pack it in
18:05and get back on the road.
18:07You really go for all that high finance?
18:11What not to go for?
18:13Besides, the country needs oil.
18:15Oh, now, don't start waving the flag at me.
18:17Ah, you wanna pick up the rig, go get a load of asparagus?
18:20Just let me hear from you, okay?
18:24Okay.
18:25We'll take the shot.
18:29Hi.
18:30Harry asked us to drop by to see if you made up your mind.
18:33I thought we had until tomorrow to decide.
18:36He thought you might want to get by tonight.
18:39What do we know about oil storage?
18:41If you didn't know, you'd just get the oil and store it.
18:51It's not too hot, is it?
18:52No, perfect, perfect.
18:55Oh, I'm sorry.
18:56Sometimes I don't know my own strength.
18:58It's okay. If you hurt me, you have to marry me.
19:01You know, I haven't had a manicure since Paris.
19:04A fortnight ago, right?
19:06Right after Antibes.
19:07Oh, yeah, I'll never forget Antibes.
19:11Well, I don't believe it.
19:16Compliments to Mr. Larmor.
19:17You've got almost as much style as we have.
19:20You have very sensitive hands.
19:22Hear that, Will? I have very sensitive hands.
19:24I always said you did.
19:25Aren't you glad I got you to stop biting your nails?
19:30Mr. Larmor, thank you.
19:32How about a drink or maybe a hot towel?
19:35No, thanks.
19:37So he bought you, huh?
19:39Well, working for him, if that's what you mean.
19:42Did you sell the truck?
19:43I left it with a dealer in town on consignment.
19:46Okay, and that's your business.
19:48Aren't you ready to go to work?
19:49You start storing already?
19:51Another job, just until.
19:53Big Beverly Hills investment company
19:55sends somebody up to check the well.
19:57Harry wants you to meet the plane.
19:59Gets in a minute.
20:00Is this the guy with the 250,000?
20:03He's the guy. Keep him busy.
20:06Why us?
20:08Well, you're on the payroll, aren't you?
20:11Style man, remember?
20:14Sure, we'll take care of him. Who is the guy?
20:16Name's Howell.
20:17Harry wants you to entertain him until tonight.
20:20Well, doesn't Harry want to meet him?
20:22That's just what he doesn't want.
20:25Keep him away from the well.
20:27There's plenty for him to do around the club.
20:29Mr. Larmor?
20:30Yeah?
20:31You know, we could screw it up if we don't know why.
20:35Well, Harry needs a little more time.
20:37Why?
20:39Things are going to get ugly.
20:41Why?
20:43Things are going a little slower than you expect.
20:46Okay, we'll meet your guy at the airport.
20:49Oh, not at the airport.
20:50The top of the Boise Cascade.
21:12Boise Cascade, California
21:32Tell me what we're doing here.
21:34Well, it's like Mr. Larmor said.
21:36Things are just going slower than they expect.
21:38I know what he said, but I...
21:40I don't think he's got anything to show this guy.
21:43Look, it's the oil business.
21:45What do we know about the oil business?
21:47Well, nothing, I guess.
21:49I don't know.
21:51I mean, we just got to, uh...
21:53take it easy and learn, huh?
21:55Right.
22:11Boise Cascade, California
22:20Hey, he's a sheep.
22:27Hello, I'm Joan Howell.
22:30One of you must be Harry Larmor.
22:32No, we're Mr. Larmor's emissaries.
22:34Emissaries, well...
22:36What he means, Harry sent us.
22:38Hello, Brewer.
22:40Hello again.
22:43Well, he must be very busy.
22:45I can't tell you how busy he is,
22:47but he apologizes for not being here personally.
22:49Don't worry, we'll take care of everything.
22:51You're in good hands.
22:54Well, I'm sure I am.
22:56Which way is the well?
22:58It's in the other direction.
23:00Well, which other direction is that?
23:02I'd like to see it and meet Mr. Larmor.
23:05Oh, you will.
23:08Well, okay.
23:10Entertain me.
23:12Let's go.
23:38The job gets better and better.
23:40Imagine getting paid just to watch her.
23:42Well...
23:44Why, they call it the good life.
23:46Ah...
23:49Will, what do you think?
23:51I mean... freeze the crop.
23:53Oh, you want to take off? Go ahead.
23:55It's not exactly what I had in mind.
23:57Well, why don't you ask her to leave?
24:00Why don't you just bow out gracefully?
24:02I know it's difficult for her, Sonny.
24:04She's not in your league.
24:06Eastern schools,
24:09class,
24:11feeling of money.
24:13I know her type.
24:15Forget it.
24:17How's the water?
24:20Great.
24:22Do you mind?
24:24Please.
24:26Oh, you've got a gentle touch.
24:28Joan, are you really a financial tycoon?
24:31No, not quite yet.
24:33At the moment, I'm what you call an investment counselor.
24:35So you decide if Harry gets the bread.
24:37Yeah, I'm afraid so.
24:39Wasn't it silly of Harry not to meet my plane?
24:41Hey, don't hold that against him.
24:44He was really busy.
24:46Yeah, I know. He's really tied up.
24:48It's okay. I'm having fun.
24:50So are we.
24:52I mean, two escorts?
24:55You two always work as a team?
24:57Yeah.
24:59Here, I'll get that.
25:01Tell me about Harry.
25:03What do you want to know?
25:05Nothing special. Is he going to hit oil?
25:08He thinks so.
25:10Well, he's thought that a couple of times,
25:12and sometimes he's hit.
25:14What about you two?
25:16Well, we're supposed to handle
25:19the storage and the shipping.
25:21Well, that reflects good of him.
25:23There must be a lot of oil involved.
25:25We need a fleet, we get a fleet.
25:27That is, until the pipeline comes in.
25:30You make it sound very easy.
25:32What do you think, Will?
25:34Oh, I think he's a dynamo.
25:36He's a very colorful guy.
25:38He's a very colorful dynamo.
25:40Very romantic.
25:43But it's a tough business, especially with one lease.
25:45Mr. Sonny Pruitt.
25:47Phone call for Mr. Sonny Pruitt.
25:55Hello.
25:57Radcliffe.
26:00How'd you get?
26:02I like your arms when you swim.
26:04You know, you don't belong here.
26:06You're right.
26:08I'm just hanging around the pool
26:11waiting for a cliffy to come out of the water.
26:13Harry send you because he thought
26:15we'd be on the same wavelength?
26:17I doubt that.
26:19Don't worry, you'll like him.
26:22I'd like to meet him.
26:24I wish the feeling was neutral.
26:26It was Harry.
26:28He needs some more casing.
26:30Hey, man, he called you.
26:32Yeah, but somebody has to entertain Joan.
26:35That's right.
26:37Did you ever entertain a cliffy before?
26:39No, he specifically wanted you to get it.
26:41Well, I'll tell you what.
26:43Why don't we let Joan make her first big executive decision?
26:46Joan?
26:48Well, why don't you go, Will?
26:50Fine.
26:52Mr.
26:54Don't forget what league you're in.
26:57Thanks, pal.
27:01Sonny,
27:03is there any reason Harry doesn't want me out of the well?
27:06No reason that I know of.
27:22You look good.
27:24I feel good.
27:26Nothing like a swim and a rub in the sun.
27:28Well, being from Southern California,
27:31you must do that all the time?
27:33Oh, no.
27:35Working girls, seven days a week.
27:37Just like Harry, I imagine.
27:39That's right.
27:42How does he get so busy with just one well?
27:44Well, I think there's more to it than that.
27:46Excuse me, driver,
27:48would you pull up in front of this door, please?
27:50Yes, ma'am.
27:53Do you mind?
27:55Mind what?
27:58I could loan you some of mine.
28:00I'm afraid they wouldn't fit.
28:15What did you mean when you said there was a lot more to it,
28:17more than just oil drilling?
28:19Oh, yeah, I think oil leases,
28:22stuff like that.
28:24Oh, yeah, I heard he had
28:26leases in Texas,
28:28Canada, and Alaska.
28:30Yeah, I think so.
28:38Well, what do you like?
28:40Oh, I don't know.
28:43I just kind of like them all.
28:47Now, those are chic.
28:49Oh, is that what you call them?
28:51Miss?
28:53Yes, sir?
28:55Do you have a lady size?
28:57Oh, I'm sure I do.
29:00Just a minute, please, while I check.
29:02You know what?
29:04I bet they got tops to match, too.
29:06Oh, I bet they do.
29:25Hi, pal.
29:27Brought those casings just in time, thanks.
29:30Yeah.
29:32Guess I had to pay cash for them.
29:34My own cash, Harry.
29:36You're kidding.
29:38What's with Holloway?
29:41All I know is what he tells me.
29:43You must be in hock to him for a small fortune.
29:45Well, don't worry about it, pal.
29:47I'll write you a check in a few minutes.
29:49I'll be back in a minute.
29:52All right.
29:54Don't worry about it, pal.
29:56I'll write you a check in a few minutes.
29:58Say, how's our female investor doing from Beverly Hills?
30:00Don't worry.
30:02Sonny can handle that.
30:05There it is, Harry.
30:07Sorry.
30:12Give it up, Harry.
30:14It's dry.
30:19Now, what do you smell?
30:22Done.
30:25Unload the casings and keep on drilling.
30:28There's oil down there.
30:30I'm sure of it.
30:32Not in this life.
30:34In this life.
30:36Any minute now, that well is going to start gushing.
30:39I'm talking about a fortune pouring out of that hole
30:41for all of us.
30:43Faith.
30:45Oil is faith, pop.
30:47Faith.
30:49In here.
30:53Nothing to worry about.
30:58Who's that?
31:00It's your investor from Beverly Hills.
31:02I thought I gave orders to keep her away from here.
31:04She's a sharp cook.
31:07You don't blame Sonny.
31:09Well, okay.
31:11Just forget what you heard here.
31:13Gotta keep her happy.
31:20Joan Howell, Harry Lorimer.
31:22Miss Howell, my pleasure.
31:25What took you so long getting here?
31:27Well, I was beginning to wonder that myself.
31:29I got a feeling.
31:31No baloney.
31:33Just got a feeling, but I think I'm going to enjoy
31:36doing business with you.
31:38Come on, I'll show you what it's all about.
31:50I couldn't keep her away.
31:53Uh-oh.
31:55What's with the long faces?
31:57We got a problem?
31:59No, there's no problem except Harry's is not to worry.
32:01Harry's a dreamer.
32:04We've got a duster.
32:06The end of the line, guy.
32:08I had to pay for that loan myself.
32:10Cash out of my own pocket.
32:12This is a dreamer.
32:15It's a dreamer.
32:17It's a dreamer.
32:19It's a dreamer.
32:21It's a dreamer.
32:23What did you tell Harry?
32:26I told him I wanted cash and he said he was going to write me a check.
32:28What's he going to do, shut down?
32:30Oh, the well. He says the sample spells fine.
32:32He's going to keep on drilling.
32:34He wouldn't.
32:37I knew you guys would be lucky for me.
32:39You're a pair of miracle workers.
32:41What'd you do, an advertiser?
32:43I learned you'd double raise $1,500.
32:45I don't want to lose my lucky charm.
32:47interested. Definitely. Well, she's got to call her boss to make sure that the
32:51check is okay, but that's no problem. Did you tell her you got a dry well? Not dry.
32:57You guys don't listen to anybody but me. That baby's gonna hit damn soon, and she
33:01knows it. She's a smart cookie, that girl. My kind of people. We're all gonna make
33:07money. Lots of money. Look, uh... This calls for a celebration. Speaking about money, we're...
33:12I'm gonna throw the biggest party this town has ever seen. Big party! Masquerade!
33:16Everybody in costume! You better do it fast while you've still got credit around
33:21here. I don't give a damn what it costs!
33:27I suppose Maid Marian, if you go, is robbing hood.
33:32Wow, will you look at this. I'm sure glad I dressed sensibly. I feel like an idiot.
33:52You look divine. Hey, look at her. She looks divine. It will. She's in charge of
34:05two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, other people's money. She gives it to
34:09Harry. Don't you get it? She's not giving it away, she's investing it. When the oil
34:13well comes in and... How did you know about oil? Even his old man doesn't believe in it.
34:18You know, you better tell her. You tell her. No, I... You better tell her. Now listen, listen, I don't want to...
34:32Guess who? Oh no, well you make the cutest couple. You're a treat to the eye.
34:39Isn't it a little drafty for an outfit like that? No, no, I'm wearing our lingerie
34:45underneath. Joan, Will has something to tell you.
34:52What was that all about? Sonny likes you. You want to read to him? No, please. I have a feeling you're
34:59trying to tell me something and it has nothing to do with Sonny. Well, Harry
35:04thinks he's gonna make it. Everyone else in town thinks the well is dry. Sonny
35:09know that? He found out this afternoon. It's the reason I'm telling you. I didn't
35:15think he'd lie. Why didn't you tell me this afternoon? I guess I want the well
35:22to come in. I want Harry to make it. But it's my gamble. Without my money, he hasn't
35:26got a chance. That's for sure. Cost you a lot to tell me, didn't it? Yeah, don't remind me.
35:33Hello, hello, hello. Hello, Harry. Hello there, Cochise. Care to dance? Yeah. Okay.
35:41Excuse us. Okay. Did you find a bird, pussycat? He didn't even notice your costume. Oh, I
35:49wonder why. Did you tell her? I'm gonna go drown my sorrows. Don't drink too much.
35:55I didn't say anything about drinking.
36:06That's a very nice bird. Still trying to figure out who you're supposed to be. I'm a
36:11famous ornithologist. Ah, well. I want you. Sorry, my card is full. But you can have
36:21number seven. Now. Have you two met? Pardon me, lady. Would you like a tiger in your tank?
36:36I sure would. You had to tell her now? When I am so close? You really tore it. What a
36:45way to go. Hey, you know, I've got a good idea. Yeah. Why don't we get out of here?
36:53That is a good idea. This is the place. There's oil down there. I know it. I know it. You
37:03really believe it. Look, pal. Every cent I own I put into this well. My money, not just
37:11other people's. All I know about other people is they think you're digging a hole at China.
37:20I got to go with me. That's all I got.
37:22Can we take this thing off? I would hope so. Oh, Sonny, you're a real person. Thank you,
37:52ma'am. I like you, too. Now, Will told me, but I wonder. You know, he had all those oil
38:06laces he could use his collateral into. You're talking about Harry again? Mm-hmm. I hate
38:12to be rude, but he bothers me. Not at all like you. He, um, he didn't even mention
38:18that now. Would you do that? How would you? Not if I had him. He could learn a lot from
38:29you. You know what I like about you, Paul? I never see you laugh. Show me something funny.
38:46People. Funny? Greedy and miserable is what they are. Sure don't show it. Lighten up. Tomorrow
38:54might be the big day. The crew's working overtime, triple time, all night like there's no tomorrow.
39:00Any idea what that costs? He wants a smelly sample to show Cinderella before she takes off.
39:09Thinks he's still got a chance. He tries. Yeah, well, Harry's not a bad kid. Doesn't care whether
39:20he's rich or broke. Makes no difference to him. People pick that up. Think he's a bad risk. He
39:29thinks so, too. But he loves me. Right, Pop? Your friend is still trying to entertain the lady.
39:43Hey, where you been, guy? Uh, talking business. Hey, listen, Paul, why don't you take a turn around with Joan?
40:00Might make you smile for a change, yeah. Welcome to the wake. You're not giving it up? Not as long
40:11as I have money. I've got enough money to last me for the rest of my life. If I die by Tuesday. Well,
40:18Joan was talking about collateral, land leases, stuff like that. What does all that mean? Might
40:24mean she'd loosen up if we had some. You got anything like that? She uses collateral? Land
40:30options? Yeah, I've got collateral. It's all blue sky collateral. Options and... Well, it's options
40:37on land in five places other than this one. But the oil is here. It's here. She might go for it. A blue
40:47sky deal like that? Well, it's worth a try, Harry. Every option I own for a lousy $250,000. Harry,
40:58they're mine only if you don't strike oil. Okay, okay. Answer me, Harry. A girl's got to be prepared?
41:15Well, I'm dry. You can wrap this up. I'll be in the bar. See you, chief. I'll be right down.
41:28I think we're gonna celebrate. I thought we were celebrating. I'm gonna show this check to the crew.
41:34We're gonna take champagne, take everybody with us. Across the board. I'm Harry Larm. She had all
41:43those options figured out from the word go. Yep. You know something else? What? You are dumb. I'm
41:51dumb? Because we got the deal we wanted? We wanted? She wanted. How did she get to you?
41:58I don't believe you. Now just where does it say I have to check in with you? She got to you. She
42:07got to you too. You're not serious about that. Well, you better forget it because she... I don't
42:15want to hear it like money. You know what? You're sore. I am not sore. What's happening? I don't know.
42:28It's a good life. Yeah, some good life. Okay, everybody, listen. Drink up. About time to break
42:36out that champagne. Nothing can stop us now. We got to keep on drilling. Come on, everybody. We're
42:42going out to the rink.
43:12Hey, guys. We got it. We got the money. We got enough to drill all the way to China. And here's
43:41the little lady that did it.
44:11Hold it. Hold it.
45:11Hey, is that oil? That is oil, baby. We struck oil.
45:41Well, how about that? You're kidding, huh? Well, he's rich.
46:08We're going to be rich. We're all going to be rich. Somehow I get the feeling that Joan just
46:18became vice president of the firm. Vice president? I'll give you six months before she takes the
46:22joint over. You're quitting? I don't understand. What do you mean you're quitting? You're the one
46:45with the vocabulary to explain it to. All right, let me put it this way, Harry. We're quitting.
46:49Nothing personal. Well, you can't quit. I mean, you're my lucky charms. This is it. This is what
46:56you've been working for, the good life. What would we do, Harry? Anything you want to do. And remember,
47:03you got a rate, $1,500 a week. I mean, this is oil, man, oil. The possibilities are endless. You stick
47:09with me and we go on to bigger and better things all over the world. We don't belong here, Harry.
47:13It's out of our league. And you owe me for the hauling and the casing comes to 862 bucks. I'll see
47:23that you get it. Thanks for it all. Say goodbye to your old man for us. Thanks, Harry. Sonny,
47:32where do we send it? Post office box 204, Salt Lake City.
47:44We'll let the CB and let's find out where Smokey is. You know, one thing you can say about those
47:53people, they got class. Yeah, well, that depends on your definition of class. Is that who I think it is?
48:13Want a lift? Yeah. Where are you headed? You know a town called Lucasville? It's a small place,
48:28just about 100 miles up the road. I saw an ad in the paper. They're looking for a geology teacher.
48:33I thought I'd apply. Get in. Give me that alligator bag. So you broke the chains, huh? We thought you
48:46were gonna stay and manage the well for Harry. You were gonna get rich, too. I found out it
48:51cost too much to get rich. Yeah, we heard about that someplace, too.
