(0.00 / 0 votes)Good morning, mister.
- What do you want?
- You haven't struck oil yet, senor.
What's it to you?
I only wish to tell you
it's dangerous.
- Why?
- They blow up many wells.
Oh, I see.
Perhaps the mister wants to prevent
bandits from blowing up this well?
That'd be pretty hard to do.
We have no guns.
- You don't need a gun.
- We also have no money.
Not even some money?
Some little kind of money?
Can't you get some?
You got no friends?
- Who told you to dig here?
- I bought a lease.
Then you have money and I want it!
Every cent we got's in this well.
We'll find out.
Next time, be sure to have money.
- I don't get it.
- Well, they didn't shoot us, anyway.
Dynamite!
Why'd they have to do it to us?
We scrape every nickel to sink
this well and now look at it!
Ain't nothing left.
Just nothing.
There's still oil here and
we're going to dig it out!
How? What with? Where
...tools and new rig?
Where? Where?
We'll get us a job,
save up and try again.
I'm sick and tired of trying.
If it ain't floods or tornadoes,
it's salt water or bandits.
I'm just plain tired!
- It's a long walk back to town.
Let's go. - I ain't going!
# Once we lived in a shack
# Drilled for oil
Nothing seems to have changed much.
Boy, Jeff, I'm really starving.
You'll get used to it.
Well, I might,
but my ulcer won't.
That doctor in Arabia told me to
always keep something on my stomach.
- That was five years ago.
- I feel like I ain't ate since.
Got an opening for a driller
and derrick man?
Can't you read?
NO HELP WANTED:
Oh. We'll take anything -
roustabout, ditch digger - anything.
Production's been cut.
Too much trouble from bandits.
Come on, Dutch.
Where were they when we needed 'em?
You heard the man. We're not the
only oil company out of business.
Let's go back to the States, Dutch.
It'll be easier to raise a bankroll.
Great! How do we get there?
I'll see what I can do.
Psst!
I beg your pardon,
but you're British, aren't you?
No.
Oh, brother, am I glad!
Come here, I want to talk to you.
- I've got a problem.
- Yeah?
- Where are you going?
- New Orleans.
What a break!
- For you or me?
- For both of us if you'd be a sport.
- I'm listening.
- They let wives travel half fare.
You tell 'em I'm your wife
and buy my ticket for me.
- OK.
- Thanks, you're a pal.
- What are you waiting for?
- The money.
Oh. Well, you see,
that's my problem.
Nice to make your acquaintance.
I'll pay you back as soon as
we get there. That's a promise.
You've got to help me.
I'm in a spot.
Well, all right, just try to act
like a wife. But keep quiet, huh?
Tomorrow, ten o'clock.
- What's the fare to New Orleans?
- $150.
Sounds fair enough.
I have a lease on some oil land.
I'll leave it as security
on two tickets and a half fare.
See this?
- Oil leases.
- But mine's legitimate.
These are all legitimate
and worthless. Sorry.
But my wife is sick. You wouldn't
I said sorry.
I sure can pick 'em.
Stick around. You might
run into an Englishman.
Hey, mister. You got the price
of a meal for a fellow American?
Hey, mister. You got the price
of a meal for a fellow American?
- Give it back.
- Aw, Jeff...!
Wait. You guys looking for work?
- Why didn't I think of that?
- What you're offering?
- You know how to handle explosives?
- Sure, what kind?
- Nitro.
- Let's go.
- What's the pay?
- 200 bucks for the trip.
$200 for carrying soup?
Not interested.
Jeff, we don't want
to haul no soup.
- How far is the run?
