Schmidt!

Two times I call you for breakfast!

I heard you. You can keep

the cup of milk and the one egg.

You sucker me into breakfast, I'm

obliged to work. Not me. I'm cutting out.

Was?

This little soul is leaving the roost.

I'm heading thatta way.

- Thatta way?

- I'm leaving.

Schwester Gertrude, schnell!

Hurry up! Schmidt will

take us to Northfolk!

- You take us to Northfolk.

- You got bus fare?

- Back?

- We'll get back. Don't worry about us.

Amen!

Well... it's been interesting.

Not profitable, but interesting.

Schmidt, where do you go?

I don't know. West?

LA, San Francisco.

Maybe I'll swing on up to...

So... goodbye.

- Schwester Gertrude.

- Leben Sie wohl.

Hey, boy.

Are you Schmidt?

Well, that's what they call me.

My name is Homer Smith.

Are you the fellow who's supposed

to build a chapel? They must be kidding.

- Why?

- They tell me you're their contractor.

- So?

- Are you a contractor?

- What's wrong with that?

- Well, what kind of contractor?

Independent.

You local?

I don't remember doing business before.

- I'm out of State.

- How did they get mixed up with you?

- How did they talk you into it?

- Nobody talked me into anything.

They conned me out of some adobe brick

and some lumber.

I figured I could write that off, but

if you're their contractor, like you say,

tell her to take her business someplace

else. My terms are strictly cash.

- You understand, boy?

- I understand. Hey, boy!

- You need a good man?

- A good man.

- I can give you two days a week.

- Doing what?

- Moving earth. Those.

- You got any experience?

I can handle any earth-moving

equipment you've got.

What are you gonna be doing

the rest of the time?

What have we been talking about?

I'm gonna build me a chapel.

OK, contractor. I'll pay you the going rate

for labour on the job you're assigned.

Seven o'clock, Thursday morning. But if

you're snowing me, you'll be out at 7.15.

Just a second.

- Goodbye, Schmidt.

- Get in the car.

- We go to the bus stop.

- Don't be cute.

I don't want him to think

we're having a fuss.

- Fuss?

- Yes. Fuss.

You don't fuss with your contractor.

We can do it, Schmidt.

There are three ingredients to a job

like this. First, you need a plan. Check?

Two, you need labour.

But, three, you need materials.

That's for openers. You're gonna need 10,

20, 30, 40 times as many bricks as that.

Can you get them?

Ja!

OK.

OK. Let's get to work.
