There Will Be Blood Page #2

You'll pass a church, just follow the sheep trail.

And where's Standard buying up?

Here and here.

-Your family's name is Sunday yes?

-That's right.

How many's in your family?

My father and mother and sisters and my brother, Eli.

-How many sisters do you have?

-Two.

-What's your name?

-Paul.

Does any of your family know

about the oil that you say is there?

I don't know.

My uncle always said there was oil there...

...but I don't know what they

heard or what they think.

-What do you grow?

-It's goats. It's a goat farm.

I told you:
nothing grows but weeds.

-Is there water?

-It's salty.

You drill a well, it's hard not to get salt water.

The oil is there.

I'm telling you.

-I want to go now, so...

-You can stay tonight.

No. I wanna go now.

I wanna leave.

Listen, Paul.

If I travel all the way up there and I find that you'd been lying to me...

I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna

take more than my money back.

Is that alright with you?

-Yes, sir.

-All right then.

-Nice luck to you. God bless.

-And to you, young man.

There's someone coming.

Good evening.

Good evening.

My name is Daniel Plainview.

This is my son HW.

Are you hunting?

Hunting for quail.

We were told there might be...

...a good place to camp up near the Sunday ranch.

This is the Sunday ranch.

You can camp here.

-Thank you. Do you have water?

-Yes.

We heard there was an earthquake

up here a few days ago is that right?

Yes.

-Your family?

-Yeah, all fine, thank you.

We have goats milk if you'd like.

That'd be fine.

If we set our tent away over there

we'd be out of your way over there.

That's fine.

Ruth, help these men and

bring them some water.

No, H.W.

Mr. Plainview

- would you like that milk now?

-That'd be fine.

-Mary, bring them some milk.

My family will help you set up your tent.

No, please. We set

ourselves on this camping trip.

We have to do the camping.

Hurry up.

-Do you have bread?

-We have potatoes.

Potatoes would be nice, thank you.

I'll have them boil you up some potatoes.

That's alright, I thought maybe we'd make a fire.

I wanted to work with my son on making a fire.

All right, my son Eli will bring you some wood.

Thank you so much for the hospitality, Mr. Sunday.

-Yes. -We'll be out of your way.

Just hunting for quail.

-I'm sorry we don't have any bread.

-No, no.

Corn just doesn't fill out in the hills here.

It's mostly rock...

...and we don't have room to raise the grain.

Thank you, young lady.

My name is Eli.

Yes, you're Eli Sunday.

Welcome.

-H.W. -Eli.

-You're hunting quail? -That's right.

We will bring dinner.

Thank you, thank you so much.

Dad! Dad, look at my shoe.

That's earthquake oil set loose.
