Beat it.

-Good morning.

-What is your problem!

Time to get to work.

The sun'll be up soon.

Man Speaking Spanish ]

-Let's go!

Your granddad and I

started out together

wild cattin' oil wells

down in Louisiana.

Made some money.

We each bought cattle spreads

as a hedge against

the oil runnin' out.

Of course,

he really made it.

-Nice to own your own little piece of Texas, right?

-Right.

Just from there

eight feet

from the center.

What?

Lunch will be sent

'round about 11:
00.

Well, how far

am I supposed to go?

Don't worry.

You'll run out of posts

before you run out of Texas.

I wish I had a dollar

for every fence post I've ever set.

Matter of fact, I do.

Hey.

What do you think?

No! Hey!

Aw! Come on, man!

So, I'm dying to know. What did you get?

Uh, it's complicated,

but it involves land

building materials

and slave labor.

They're giving you

a shopping mall?

Not exactly.

So it must be the land, right?

They're giving that to you?

-Uh, land's got a lot to do with it, yeah.

-You don't sound too sure.

Well, whatever it is, I gotta survive

this geriatric cowboy

until he gives it to me

or when I get back or

or when I'm finished.

Finish what?

You know what?

Let me get back to you, okay?

Jason, what are you

So that's it.

Yeah.

Let's go.

I'm not done.

Work's never done

on a ranch.

All right. Whatever.

You know, you do any work

like you just did

you can do anything.

Now, aren't you

forgettin' something?

-I don't think so. Shoot.

-The gift.

I came here to pick up a gift.

Remember?

That was the gift?

I do manual labor

for a month

and you're trying to tell me

it was a favor to me.

-The gift of work.

-Wow.

-Congratulations.

-Look, Hamilton.

Just tell me what

my total inheritance is. I'm over this.

Where are you going?

Where is he going?

Can you tell him

to come back, please?

Mr Hamilton.

Mr Hamilton.

Hey.

Mr Hamilton, sir.

Please.

I think it's only fair I know the amount

of money we're dealing with here. Don't you?

I've been gone for a month.

Just tell me

What do I have to do? What is it?

Red said,

a series of gifts.

But let me add

a personal note.

I, too, think

this is a waste of time.

But it will end shortly,

because you are going to fail.

I expect you to fail

and to fail miserably.

Now, if you do want

to continue

make an appointment

with Miss Hastings.

Okay. Look. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Mr Hamilton.

I've been acting like a moron

about this whole thing, and I'm sorry.

And now I- I see exactly

what you and Red have in store for me

and I think

it's exceedingly beneficial.

So, what's the next gift?

You'll know.

Howdy.

Wait! Wait!

That's an $8,000
