Hello!
Hello!
("Flower of San Antone"

(romantic violins swelling)
Hello.
Imagine my not seeing you.
What kind of a town is this, anyway?
[Woman] It's a small town.
Oh, I can see that.
Where's everybody else?
Or are you the only one who lives here?
Everybody else is working.
[Stranger] And they left
you here to run the town.
Did you want supplies?
No.
Wind always blow like this around here?
Sometimes.
Sure you won't just vanish
the minute my back is turned?
I'll be here, I live here.
I'll be back.

[Man In Blue Shirt] All
right, men, pull it up again!
[Men] Pull!
Pull!
Pull!
Pull!
[Man In Blue Shirt] Let her go!
("Flower of San Antone"
ballad orchestral music)
(tools clanging)
All right, take it up!
[Men] Pull!
Pull!
Pull, steady, pull!
Pull!
Pull!
Pull!
Let her go, now!
(weight thuds)
Pull it up again.
Hold it.
Cal, we got company.
(birds chirping)
Hi, something I can do for you?
Oh, I'm just riding by,
and I noticed you were
drilling an oil well.
Yeah (laughs)
Looks interesting.
Thought I'd stop and watch
for awhile, if you don't mind.
[Cal] No, no, I guess
it'll be all right.
Thank you.
Who is he, Cal?
I don't know, just
riding through, I guess.
Wants to watch.
You want him to keep
on going, just say so.
No, no, I don't think
he'll get in the way.
(somber woodwind orchestral music)
Pull it up again, now!
[Men] Pull!
Pull!
Pull!
Pull!
Pull!
Let her go!
(weight thuds)
(tense western orchestral music)
Look, mister, just because
I said you could watch,
doesn't mean you have
the run of the place.
This is private property, you know.
Where's the fellow
who lives in the shack?
Nobody lives there.
Oh.
Where's the fellow who owns the property?
I own it.
If it's a job you're looking for,
I'm afraid we can't use you.
This is what you might call
a small, private operation.
And as you can see, we're quite...
Oh, I see, I won't bother you.
Hello, how long you fellas
been diggin' this well?
I don't think you got a good look
at that No Trespassing sign.
We could read it to him.
Yeah (laughs).
Hey, mister.
Excuse me.
Let me give you a little tip, friend.
People in a small town don't
like strangers very much
at any time, and when these
people are diggin' an oil well,
they don't like strangers at all.
You know, I think you'd
better get on your horse
and ride away from this small town.
You understand?
Yeah.
All right, take it up!
Bring that drill over here!
I thought you were leaving.
How long do you say you've
been drillin' this well?
[Cal] I didn't say.
That shack up there.
Did you build it, or was that here before?
I don't think that's
any of your business.
What about this pool of oil?
What about it?
Well, it doesn't look
like you've hit oil yet,
so it must have been here before.
[Cal] You're just full
of questions, aren't you?
to figure out where to put this well down.
(splashing)
(laughing)
Aw, you fellas shouldn't have done that.
Well, you seem to be having
Yeah, we wanted you to
get to the bottom of it.
