Who is he?

He's my cousin from Quebec.

He told me he was your friend.

My third cousin on my mother's side.

What's wrong with you?

Lonnie, this is ridiculous.

Put the gun down.

Sorry.

Can I talk to you a second?

Do you want some more?

Yeah. Thanks.

Can you pass the salt?

The old bike in the barn,

I would like to buy it.

How much will you pay for it?

I don't know, 200?

Three.

Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

Are you gonna go away on it?

I'll have to fix it first.

It's too broken to be fixed.

He's got a big penis.

Bree!

He does.

He was in the pond, washing.

He's got an average penis.

How do you know?

Because I saw it.

Already?

I don't wanna hear anymore

about penises.

Are you gonna sleep in her bed?

I said that's enough.

No one's gonna sleep in my bed

except me.

Did you change your mind?

You want to help me?

No.

It's a good offer. A better offer than

you'd get if you sold to anyone else.

Well, I don't wanna sell it

to anyone else.

I don't wanna sell it.

Mrs. Anderson,

I know your financial situation.

Forgive me

if this is a trifle indelicate.

You might not be able

to make your payments.

And if you can't make your payments,

the bank will be forced to foreclose.

That's because you bought

into the bank.

The bank never used to foreclose

until you came.

Nevertheless, you must understand...

It will take a month

to get the order to foreclose.

She'd get a lawyer.

He would file a writ.

That would delay

a couple of months.

You would have to go to trial.

If you don't want to sell it,

don't sell it.

Forgive me.

You are who, exactly?

My cousin Sam.

Oh, hello. Franklin Hale.

I'm delighted to meet you.

Thank you for your time,

Mrs. Anderson.

Gentlemen, shall we?

Bye.

Astonishing, isn't it?

One little woman in the middle of

a wheat field. And what is she doing?

She's f***ing us up.

My proposed development

is one of the largest of its kind

in the West

And represents a total investment in

your community of nearly $1 billion.

Now, what we're talking about here

is natural beauty.

I must tell you,

I mean, this valley of yours,

it's one of the most extraordinarily

beautiful places I've ever seen.

I mean, it's quite remarkable.

And I do want to assure you,

under no circumstances

would my company or myself

ever dream

of desecrating such beauty.

But you have in this town a lot of land

which can be used more efficiently.

And in a way

that everyone would benefit.

I wanna guarantee everyone...

You should be ashamed of yourself,

selling your heritage

to this pitchman.

Tom, you're out of line.

Build your damn golf course

around me. I'm not selling my land.

Let him speak. He
