Promised Land Page #2
Hey, you wanna come work for us?
Even before the drilling,
the initial phase of development
will boost your town's tax revenue.
injected into the town immediately.
'Cause what it means to me
One of the only reason I live where I live
is because of the school my son goes to.
I want everything for him.
And everything, to me,
starts with an education.
Wait, that's it?
That's right.
Well, that's not necessarily
life changing money, is it?
Oh, it's per acre.
You have 20.
So, I think there are a lot of people
around here that would say
$40,000, well, that's pretty good money.
Especially for doing nothing.
But the real reason I'm here at this early
stage is because our research shows that
your particular plot of land
has a potentially high yield.
Now what that means is that not only
the size of the deposit,
the shale is in the top tier.
Yeah.
Carson's chances of going
to college are too low.
And without a college education, and this
job market, that means manual labor.
Those jobs are gone.
Technology is our sons' future.
There's no reason your town shouldn't
have a state of the art high school.
Getting education that allows him
to compete on the highest level.
And that's why we offer an 8 percent share
in any and all profits that
we see from your wells.
And so with this top tier level of sh*t,
what kind of money are you talking about?
Oh well, I can't say yet but
It's ballpark for me, man.
I mean, other people
in similar situations?
Millions.
I meanyou mean, for,
you know, are you guys, or?
You
could be a millionaire.
See what it stands and
what this agreement looks like.
That's it right there.
Nice talk today.
Kind of anti-climactic, I thought
it would be harder. It's too easy.
What?
I got it.
Really?
From V.P. of Land Management.
Wow.
It's great. I'm proud of ya.
Oh sh*t.
Danny, I don't know what to say.
I know Heather.
It's only two way tickets.
Did anybody get on base?
No.
Well then that makes it
almost a perfect game.
That is amazing!
It's not a whole game, mom.
Okay, well, you shouldyou juststill
you should be celebrating,
you shouldn't be seating
here talking to me.
Hey, Ms. T.!
Hi Colin.
So where you guys headed?
I don't know. Sarah Dayton's
having a party, I think.
You look nice.
Okay.
I love you so much.
Okay mom.
Okay.
Go.
Hey!
Mr. Richards? Hi, I'm Steve Butler.
Steve, it's a pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
And call me Gerry for God's sake.
Oh, great.
Anything to drink?

Uh, yeah, a cup of coffee.
For you, Jerry?
Oh I'm fine, thanks Lynn.
