Goin' to Town Page #4

he's drilling holes

in my property,

I want to know

what it's all about.

And you see that he gets

over to my place tonight

and brings his blueprints.

All right, Miss Cleo.

I'll check up

on that guy.

(Big Band Music On Phonograph)

Hello, boys.

Good evening.

What about them

2,000 head of cattle

for Chicago?

All right, let 'em go.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, you look

very charming.

As good as

an oil well?

Oil well?

There's a guy dropping in

that ain't got anything else

on his mind.

Oh, Carrington.

He's coming to make a report.

After he leaves, I might

be able to give you one.

My dear, I'm afraid you

don't quite understand

about Carrington.

He's a man, ain't he?

Well, yes.

Well, that's all

I got to know.

What I mean to say is he's

the type of person who would

only be deeply interested...

in someone in his own

social stratum.

Stratum? What's that?

Something I ain't got?

If you'll forgive my saying so,

there's a certain amount

of, well, background...

that you haven't had

the opportunity of acquiring.

Oh, you mean I ain't

exactly a lady.

Mm-hmm.

Never mind. Our little

bet still goes.

All right, but I'm afraid

you're going to lose.

Say, I'll make him forget

he ever saw a stratum.

Good evening.

Well, we'll agree

on that anyway. Come in.

I brought everything

you asked for.

So I see.

Well, uh, shall we

get down to business?

Yeah, sit down.

Thank you.

Cigarette?

No, thanks.

Drink?

No, thank you.

What? No vices?

I'm afraid we aren't

getting anywhere.

Mmm, did you

notice that too?

Go ahead, go ahead.

Now, this map represents

your entire property.

This curved portion is

the main body, and this is

the undeveloped territory.

We'll have to do

something about that.

Uh, these shaded areas

are those indicated...

in the geological survey

as being oil bearing.

You amaze me.

Quite interesting.

Quite interesting.

These circles mark

the location of the wells

drilled to date.

As you can see,

we've covered the entire

feld very thoroughly.

Isn't it possible there's

something you've overlooked?

Positively not.

Everything that looked

in the least encouraging

have been taken care of,

and I can assure you

that all this property you

are getting the most out of.

How can you be so sure?

Look for yourself.

Why, you'd be surprised

at the things that

don't show up on a map.

Not if you know

how to read them.

Everything on this property

that's at all worthwhile

is right here on this paper.

Well, that's encouraging.

So you do understand?

Yeah.

Come on. Why don't

you release those brakes?

Brakes? I don't know

what you mean.

No? Well, you know

I was Buck Gonzales's chase,
