Serena Page #3

---

Oh, we pay more than

any job these men can get.

And that's why there's a line 50-deep

every time there's an opening.

Openings. Yes, you always have openings,

don't you, Mr. Pemberton?

Because your camps have killed more

men than the War Between the States.

It's dangerous work.

And every logger will tell you

he's proud of what he does.

And I don't think he wants

the government

to build him a pretty park, Sheriff.

I think he wants the freedom.

The freedom to work hard

and to better himself.

That's what this country

is supposed to be about, Sheriff!

- Yeah! That's right!

- Yeah! Yeah!

- You did wonderfully.

- Just told the truth.

One, two, three, smile! And flash!

I love you so much.

I have your child inside me.

- Namaste.

- Namaste.

Vaughn!

Put my horse in the stable.

They need to get used to each other.

Yes, ma'am.

- I'll get you some food and blankets.

- Don't bother.

I won't eat or sleep until she does.

- Well, I'm staying here with you.

- No, you're not.

I need to do this alone.

They need to know that it was a woman

who tamed the eagle.

All right. Everybody out.

Hi.

The prey believes that

if it keeps still, it won't be noticed.

But eventually it flinches.

And when it does,

the eagle always sees.

This, uh, park business

seems to be picking up speed.

Now that Rockefeller's thrown in

with them, they're making real offers.

- They'll be coming to us next?

- Yeah.

Rockefeller's $5 million behind them.

We're not interested.

Well, I was asking your husband's

opinion, Mrs. Pemberton, not yours.

Easy.

Well, I don't want you

to worry about it.

Well, I do.

We'll need about a million

to pay off the loan

and have enough money

to get going in Brazil.

That's two more years here in Carolina,

assuming this park business

doesn't shut us down.

We're going to have to

pay off a senator.

Listen. What do you think of Serena?

Oh, well, she's a lovely girl.

I'm sorry. I should have

said something to you earlier.

But Serena is different, you know.

She'd rather come to a godforsaken place

like Carolina

than sip tea with society ladies.

Can you imagine a woman like that?

Well, I don't have to imagine her,

George. She's right here with us.

I just don't want you to think of her

as my wife.

I want you to think of her as a partner.

Because she is.

A partner.

- Every cent she has, she gave to us.

- Right.

Well, I will indeed. A partner.

- Good morning, Sheriff.

- Ladies.

So, this is for you, Senator.

- You have a nice campaign, now.

- I will.

Good day, Mr. Buchanan.

Does Mr Pemberton think bribes

can stop the park?

Oh, well, nothing wrong

with having friends in high places.
