The Hawaiians Page #2

you've got the ships.

Let me organise it,

run it.

Micah, thas a wonderful

idea.

But impractical.

You have no business experience.

You've been a hell raiser for

too long to turn respectable now.

You're prepared to give me

a ship just to get me out of here?

No.

If this offer isn't enough,

name your price.

There's not enough money

here to pay my price.

I envy the pious...

they can be bastards

and never know it.

Captain, the name's Overpeck.

What?

I'm opportunity knocking

at your door.

I'm a well driller and I can make

Hanakai bloom for you.

Like hell you can.

My grandfather tried to find

water there for 20 years.

I know all about it.

He dug six wells.

All down to caprock,

all dry.

That right.

But caprock ain't deep enough.

The way I see it, id be...

Excuse me. You wouldn't have

a drink in the house, captain?

Come on in.

You've got a lovely place here.

Is that your grandfather?

That him.

A fine figure of a man.

Will you be going back to sea?

The whole island knows

about the will.

Coconut telegraph.

You're a queer bird

to be in the water business.

That a fact.

Look...

these two volcanoes

built this island.

The lava flowed from both,

overlapping, building up in layers.

You've got to be able

to read them layers.

You can?

Yes, sir.

Like a chart at sea.

I've been reading Hanakai.

I've got the only drill...

that can bust through the caprock

to milk them layers.

If is so easy, why hasn't

anybody tried it before?

Because...

these pious fool believe that if

God intended them to have water...

he'd have installed fountains.

Where's this drilling rig?

In hock,

for 900 dollars.

If you're broke, make me a deal,

and I'll steal it back.

I can get the money,

whas the deal?

Whiskey and grub money

for every day it takes.

Too cheap.

I was hoping

you weren't all hot air.

Nice to have met you,

Mr Overpeck.

Don't make a mistake,

that was the price of a dry well.

If i find water, and i will.

I want 3,000 acres of your land.

Have a drink.

Foo Sen is a very wise man.

We do what he says, savvy?

Savvy.

You're going to have a boy,

his name is Kee Ah Chow.

You, girl.

You understand me?

The wife of Kee Mun Ki lives

in China, in the Low Village.

She's naturally the mother

of all his sons.

You'll care for all

of his sons...

until he returns with them

to his wife in China.

You understand?

When baby comes,

I take care, yes?

When you're delivered

of Mun Ki's son...

his wife in China will change

her name to "Mother of Wu Chow."

The mother of five continents.

How am i called?

Your name will become

"Aunt of Wu Chow."

The Aunt of five continents.

When baby comes,

I'm the auntie?
