here for 20 years now.

We plant seedlings

every time we harvest.

That land is more stable today

than it was when God himself made it.

Well, to give him his due,

he didn't have modern science to help him.

He didn't have hydroponics

and silviculture techniques.

I'd say he did pretty well

under the circumstances.

What with

his limited education.

Yeah.

What's this?

Mr. Hawks.

These people are from

the environmental

protection agency.

I'd appreciate

bein' let through.

No car from the lumber company

gets through here.

This is against

the law, John.

The law has not

brought justice.

The Supreme Court has issued

a restraining order against this blockade.

And which Supreme Court

is that, Mr. Isely?

The Supreme Court

of the United States.

Yes, we've tried

that Supreme Court.

Now we're going

to one that's higher.

You a part of this,

Ramona?

By birth, Mr. Isely.

Can we walk in?

It's ten miles.

Is there another road?

No, Mrs. Vern,

there isn't.

John, tell your people

get out of the way.

Kelso!

Cut down those

two trees, please.

Mr. Isely--

I don't get the point.

Nobody's going

to get hurt.

The point is

not to be intimidated.

Cut 'em down.

- Don't let this happen!

- Are you gonna stand aside, Hawks ?

I'm gonna tell you

right now!

You cut my head off

before you cut these trees!

Oh, come on!

Take 'em down!

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute!

Stop it!

Stop it, please!

Make him

stop it!

- Open the chain, John.

- I won't open it!

Open it, goddamn it! What does this prove,

anyway? That they're murderers.

It doesn't prove a damn thing!

Now open it!

No!

Open it!

Don't!

These are violent people, Mr. Vern.

They get drunk and they get violent.

You gotta show 'em

when you mean business.

Ii swear, Maggie, that must

have been a world's record.

I've never heard

of such a big salmon.

Well, this is the land

of Paul Bunyan and his giant ox, babe.

- Was that Maine?

- Sure was.

Well, there might be something to it.

That fish was a giant.

Maybe you'll go home

with a trophy.

I can't get over it.

God knows what would happen

if I hooked into it.

Hmm. Taste this.

Aphrodisia.

You think you could catch any more?

Are you kidding ?

I'm one of the world's great fishermen.

Well, you fish,

and I'll eat.

Now that's

a relationship.

Do you wanna know

something?

I was so proud

of you today.

That made the ghetto seem suddenly

very peaceful to me.

You know something else?

I was jealous of that Indian woman.

She had so much courage-- To be so strong

when she was frightened--

To demand her own way.

It's a kind of courage

I don't have much of.

I don't know about that.

I think it takes a lot of courage to put up with me.
