Transcript
00:00I know that most of you have been smarting under the restrictive government
00:04timbering regulations. I say we've got to present a solid front. Now if I can get
00:08all your signatures on that petition, I'll go straight to the governor and
00:12I'll demand it. Meetings adjourned till tomorrow. Just a minute. Tomorrow is
00:16Saturday. I'm a Seventh-day Adventist and tomorrow is my Sabbath. And meetings
00:22adjourned till Sunday. You can't do that either. Sunday's my Sabbath. I suggest we
00:27meet again on Monday. There ain't gonna be no meeting on Monday neither. That's our
00:31Sabbath. We're gonna be drunk the whole dang day. Hold it! All right, you've had it.
00:37Everybody back to the boat. What's going on here? Uh, well, nothing Sheriff. We're
00:41leaving peaceful. The boys are homesick. They want to get back to the camp. Hey, I'm
00:47not, I'm not leaving till I finish my drink.

00:58Peace, brother.
01:10That man, Jory, is crude. Utterly unprincipled. Yeah, he didn't say you can hardly trust
01:16anybody these days. Also, he's a lot smarter than we gave him credit for. Now
01:21what? You can work the Louie. Louie? Louie's only a timber follower. What can Louie do?
01:25He can drop a tree in the wrong place at exactly the right time, like on Matt
01:31Jory's skull. Oh, ethically of course. Ethically.
