00:00:23Hello Cousins, hi y'all, I've been sittin' here ruminatin' about some of my friends.
00:00:30Some of the things I've seen, for instance, an oil well, a gusher blowin' high, wide, and handsome in the
00:00:37great state of Oklahoma.
00:00:38Oklahoma means red man's land, and less than 50 years ago, all this was Indian territory.
00:00:45Here the Osages, the Cherokees, the Creeks, the Choctaws, the Seminoles, the Chickasaws, even some Pawnees raced their horses over
00:00:55the prairies,
00:00:56fished the streams, grew their crops, and raised their cattle.
00:01:00And all the time, the oil was underneath the ground.
00:01:03Well, it had to come out.
00:01:04And refineries had to be built to process it and make it what it is today, the lifeblood of our
00:01:10civilization.
00:01:11It's oil that drives the ships, powers the trains, and the planes, and fills the traffic lanes and serves man
00:01:19in a thousand and one ways.
00:01:22Yes, sir, oil's a mighty valuable commodity.
00:01:24Today, sought for and fought for all over the globe, in Arabia and Persia, Venezuela, Algiers, and Mexico.
00:01:33But talk to an oil man anywhere, and he'll tell you that the oil capital of the world is Tulsa,
00:01:39a prairie city rising out of the Oklahoma plains.
00:01:42Today, the nerve center of a mighty industry, Tulsa.
00:01:47Here we are.
00:03:23This is Tulsa today, but let's turn back to the early 20s when Tulsa was a ballin' squallin'
00:03:30boomtown riding the crest of the golden tide of oil. Oil was still a game then. Made fortunes
00:03:36for some, but let me tell you about a few of my friends whose lives depended on cattle.
00:03:41The finest cattle country in the world.
00:03:54There's part of them, Jim. Perfect. Pure bread. Not much like long ones, huh?
00:04:02Oh, look!
00:04:08Oh, Cherokee! Quit spooking those calves!
00:04:26Crazy. Crazy girl. Oh, she was gentle down. Her mother did. She grows more and more like
00:04:33her every day.
00:04:39Well, Jim, what do you think of my pure bread? Fine-looking stock mills. Sure had to take
00:04:45mighty deep to buy them. But they'll pay out.
00:05:07Now they know who's boss. Fine, boss. Spooking her own cattle. You should put some on your
00:05:12place, Jim. They'd really prosper on that blue-stemmed grass. Maybe I would see Natani. If I had to want
00:05:18to tell you, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.
00:05:18I'm going to take care of the house while I took care of the cattle.
00:05:22Help!
00:05:26What is it, Steve?
00:05:27Double. Plenty of trouble. Down by the creek.
00:05:56They're dying, Nels. And it's like this all up and down the creek. I counted more than 30 already, and
00:06:02there's have to be more.
00:06:03What killed them, Steve? What did it?
00:06:05I'll show you.
00:06:18Oil. It's manure well on the Medwick place.
00:06:44Round up what's left of the herd and get them into the next pasture.
00:06:57Two brothers have got to put polluting my creek.
00:07:01Go, devil, go!
00:07:05You hear what I said?
00:07:06Get back!
00:07:07You fellas have got to quit polluting my creek.
00:07:11Get back!
00:07:18Get back!

00:14:58Gotta get to Tulsa
00:15:04Oh, faithful
00:15:07We rode the range together
00:15:12Oh, faithful
00:15:16In every kind of weather
00:15:20When your roundup days are over
00:15:25There'll be pastures white
00:15:28With clover
00:15:30For you
00:15:34Faithful
00:15:36Pal of mine
00:15:44Thanks, Pinky
00:15:45Dad would've liked that
00:15:49Little break, Cussons
00:15:54Yes, sir
00:16:02Firewater?
00:16:03No
00:16:05Pinky
00:16:06Pinky
00:16:06What do you know about
00:16:08Bruce Tanner?
00:16:09A lot
00:16:10A little
00:16:12What's on your mind, cousin?
00:16:14What's on my mind
00:16:15Isn't fit for those
00:16:16Tender little ears
00:16:20I've got a score
00:16:21To settle with, Mr. Tanner
00:16:22A big score
00:16:27No knife
00:16:28No gun
00:16:29Killing's too easy
00:16:31I want to get him
00:16:31Where he lives
00:16:32He's a big man, cousin
00:16:33He's got a lot of scalps
00:16:36I'd like to see yours among them
00:16:37You mean money big?
00:16:39Real tall
00:16:40Throws a shattered clear
00:16:41To the capital
00:16:42You get what I mean
00:16:45Courts
00:16:46Judges
00:16:47Corporation commission
00:16:48A few of the federal boys
00:16:49It's all strictly legal, of course
00:16:51You see, Tanner's what you could call
00:16:53A leading citizen
00:16:54He's done a lot for Dawson
00:16:57Must be wonderful
00:16:58To be rich
00:16:59And powerful enough
00:17:00To step on deep
00:17:01And be respected for it
00:17:03Pinky
00:17:04Oh, sooner
00:17:05Got a hundred dollars
00:17:07Says you can't play

00:17:23Please, now
00:17:24We're talking
00:17:25Got it all figured out
00:17:26What I'm gonna do
00:17:27What's your name, cleaning?
00:17:28Name is Cherokee Lansing, Johnny
00:17:30She's my cousin
00:17:31Oh, better

00:17:34Homer is the finest little notary
00:17:36In the state of Oklahoma
00:17:37Never travel without him
00:17:52Oh, there you are
00:17:53Here, now worry
00:17:55I don't want anything from him
00:17:57No argument
00:17:59You make your cousin think
00:18:01I'm thinking of
00:18:02Johnny, look
00:18:07Oh, excuse me
00:18:10I don't want these
00:18:11What'll I do with them?
00:18:12Johnny's in an outgoing mood tonight
00:18:14I'll give it back to him
00:18:14I'll give it back to him
00:18:15In the morning
00:18:15Thank you
00:18:24Hello, cousin
00:18:25Looks like we're gonna have a warm evening
00:18:29There's a chance you get your family
00:18:30I'll see you at your hotel
00:18:32In a minute
00:18:37It's three o'clock in the morning
00:18:41We dance the whole night show
00:18:46And daylight soon will be dawning
00:18:51Just one more once with you
00:19:11Is that you, Pinky?
00:19:14It's me, cousin
00:19:15Come on in
00:19:17With you in a minute
00:19:18All right
00:19:24Is it always this noisy in town?
00:19:27I don't see how it is
00:19:31Yes
00:19:33Who?
00:19:36Bruce Tanner
00:19:37He wants to see me
00:19:41Have him come up, please
00:19:44We'll look these over, cousin
00:19:45What are they?
00:19:46Leases
00:19:46Oil leases
00:19:47Crude old Johnny
00:19:48Yeah
00:19:49Gives you the right to drill for all
00:19:51On those pieces of land
00:19:52Why, this is for Bill Penny's ranch
00:19:54And the Lightfoot place
00:19:56They're up by Jim Redbirds
00:19:58There's no oil there
00:19:58So far, there ain't nobody looked
00:20:00It's wildcat country
00:20:01Well, you give them back
00:20:02To that wildcat friend of yours
00:20:05Now, that might be a bit hard to arrange
00:20:08Ooh, the long horn really got to jumping
00:20:10After you left last night
00:20:11Crude old Johnny
00:20:12Ain't apt to be singing
00:20:13Three o'clock in the morning anymore
00:20:14Seems he's dead
00:20:16He's dead?
00:20:17Permanent
00:20:19Sorry
00:20:20Yeah
00:20:21He was a right guy
00:20:23Might tone deaf, though
00:20:25What'll I do with him?
00:20:28Legally, they're yours
00:20:38Hello, Pinky
00:20:45This is my cousin Cherokee, Mr. Tanner
00:20:48And one of your most attractive cousins, Pinky
00:20:50Pinky and I happen to be blood kin, Mr. Tanner
00:20:52I'm quarter Cherokee
00:20:54And obviously on the war path for me
00:20:57May I make this small peace offering?
00:21:00What is it you've come to see me about, Mr. Tanner?
00:21:06Miss Lansing, I could tell you
00:21:08That I was shocked and displeased
00:21:09By Mr. Winter's treatment of you last evening
00:21:12And that he had no authority to speak to you the way he did
00:21:15And that I'm here to make amends
00:21:18I'd be a doggone liar
00:21:19You haven't got a leg to stand on
00:21:22Legally
00:21:23However, I have a check here for $20,000
00:21:32Yes
00:21:33Go on, you were talking about these leases
00:21:36Yes, I was
00:21:37I already control some of that area
00:21:39And I'd like to have it solid
00:21:40Now, you need $20,000 to save your ranch
00:21:43And I'm prepared to pay that for the leases
00:21:45You don't look like Santa Claus to me
00:21:48Tell me what they're really worth
00:21:50To you, nothing
00:21:51To me, possibly nothing
00:21:52Possibly a great deal
00:21:54You see, Miss Lansing, oil's a gamble
00:21:56I like to gamble, too
00:21:58Right now, I'm prepared to risk $100,000
00:22:00Exploring that area
00:22:02Sound like your kind of game?
00:22:04Now, this is certified
00:22:05It's money in the bank
00:22:06Or purebred herefords grazing on your own range
00:22:09Sounds like a pretty fair proposition, cousin
00:22:14I'm not selling
00:22:15Do you mind telling me why?
00:22:17Because I don't like the way you operate
00:22:20You oil men come into our country
00:22:22Pollute the streams
00:22:23Ruin the land
00:22:24Kill our cattle
00:22:26Yes, and our men, too
00:22:27You're being childish
00:22:28You're acting like your Cherokee grandparents
00:22:31Who shot arrows at the first locomotive
00:22:33This is oil country
00:22:34The wealth is under the ground
00:22:35Not on top of it
00:22:36But is it necessary to destroy the land to produce oil?
00:22:40Excuse me, Sinatani
00:22:42You mention our grandparents shooting arrows at locomotives
00:22:45Perhaps you never heard of the five civilized nations
00:22:47Never bothered to learn about the Oklahoma Red Man
00:22:49Before the civil war, Mr. Tanner
00:22:51Our grandparents owned plantations in the south
00:22:53Had libraries
00:22:54Printing presses
00:22:55We vote
00:22:56We have colleges
00:22:57We think
00:22:58And we think
00:23:00Oil has been bad for this country
00:23:03Shall we continue this later, Miss Lansing?
00:23:06Perhaps at dinner?
00:23:07No
00:23:18Don't tell me you're going into the oil business
00:23:20Why not?
00:23:21You have no monopoly on brains or luck
00:23:23No
00:23:25And I'm not as pretty as you are, either
00:23:32No sense being mule-headed, cousin
00:23:33And you know nothing about oil, Sinatani
00:23:35I can learn, I can learn
00:23:37But cattle is our business
00:23:38I know my ranch is not as fine as a buffalo horn
00:23:41But with you...
00:23:42No, Jim
00:23:45Not until I've settled with Bruce Tanner
00:23:47And I can do that only one way
00:23:51Your father wouldn't like to see you smeared with oil
00:23:54Ain't you overlooking a few small details
00:23:56In the first place, you ain't found any oil
00:23:58Second place, the hogs are all against your finding
00:24:00Third place, you ain't even got the money
00:24:02To start finding it in the first place
00:24:04I'll get the money somewhere
00:24:05Well, don't look at me
00:24:07All the money I got in the world
00:24:08Is right there in that pocket
00:24:09And don't even blows me a little
00:24:14I intended to get some purebred Herefords
00:24:17Like Nels
00:24:19But
00:24:20If that's what you want, Sinatani
00:24:27And another Redskin bit the dust
00:24:35Okay
00:24:51Okay, keep it like that
00:24:55I don't know, Miss Lansing, it don't look good
00:25:01Should've hit oil, San, before this
00:25:03But you're going to keep drilling, aren't you?
00:25:04We'll keep making hole just as long as you make payroll
00:25:08And that reminds me
00:25:09If you'll just give me until tomorrow
00:25:11You've been telling us that for two weeks
00:25:18Soft, sticky, hard
00:25:22Well, well
00:25:23Nothing like scientific terminology
00:25:32I'd say you are getting into lower Endicott sandstone
00:25:36Have you hit gas yet?
00:25:37Oh, one of those geology guys, huh?
00:25:40Miss Lansing, did you send for this rock house?
00:25:42Oh, I certainly did not
00:25:44What are you doing here?
00:25:47The name is Brady
00:25:49Remember?
00:25:50You couldn't be crude oil, Johnny, son
00:25:53I thought I'd like to see the gal who rolled my old man
00:25:56Pop always was a good picker
00:26:01Now, just a minute, Mr. Brady
00:26:03Don't get excited
00:26:04I don't expect to get the leases back
00:26:06I'm just sentimental
00:26:07I thought if maybe you had his set of cufflinks or his watch
00:26:10I'd be willing to buy them from you
00:26:14Charlie
00:26:16You skinned polecats
00:26:20Out of respect to your old man
00:26:22I'm giving you a chance to walk out of here in one piece
00:26:24How did you happen to pick this spot?
00:26:26This jar head stamp on the ground?
00:26:32Listen, rock house
00:26:33If I were you, I'd start pulling tools before that gas blows in
00:26:37Okay, professor
00:26:39You asked for it
00:27:03How was that, professor?
00:27:06Soft, sticky, or hard?
00:27:09Hard
00:27:09Like this
00:27:11Like this
00:28:00Say, I've seen a guy somewhere before
00:28:03Say, I've seen a guy somewhere before
00:28:16Anyone else?
00:28:17Say, ain't you Bronco Brady
00:28:19Who used to play football with the Yales?
00:28:21With the Prince's?
00:28:22Oh
00:28:26Is that what you wanted?
00:28:40Oil
00:28:41Oil
00:28:42Oil
00:28:43Nothing
00:28:44That's salt water
00:29:00Well, that's it
00:29:02Well, that's it
00:29:17There goes 15,000 dollars
00:29:23Is that what you wanted?
00:29:40Good night, Jim
00:29:42Good night, Jim
00:29:55Over 7,000 dollars
00:29:57Well, well, the Lansing Oil Company
00:29:59Been looking for you
00:30:00To say I told you so?
00:30:02Now, it may surprise you to know I'm honestly sorry
00:30:04I was hoping you'd make an oil well
00:30:05Remember, I've got holdings up there too
00:30:08Let's get out of the traffic
00:30:11I understand you dropped 15,000 on that, Duster
00:30:14That Pinner didn't lose any time recording to you, did he?
00:30:17Why, every oil man that tells it
00:30:18He's mad for a while
00:30:28How would you like to get your auntie back?
00:30:30I'm still interested in those leases
00:30:32Miss Lansing
00:30:32Naturally, the price will be a little lower
00:30:34Call him Miss Lansing
00:30:35Miss Lansing
00:30:36Call him Miss Lansing
00:30:38Up here
00:30:38Get it, Chuck
00:30:42Call him Mr. Britt
00:30:43Mr. Britt
00:30:48Sign here and give these men a check
00:30:49What for?
00:30:5145 sacks of cement and 2,000 feet of casing
00:30:53You've got to cement off
00:30:54What are you talking about?
00:30:56You've got to shut off that water
00:30:57You run casing, then pump down cement
00:31:00Then you drill through and keep going
00:31:02Sounds very simple
00:31:03Never try it?
00:31:04Or is it something you read in a book?
00:31:08Both
00:31:10It may cost another 5,000, but I say it's worth it
00:31:13I don't
00:31:13But I'm just a practical oil man
00:31:16Are you bragging or apologizing?
00:31:18You practical oil men have wasted enough oil and gas to power this country for another 20 years
00:31:22Someday I'd like to hear about the fields you've developed
00:31:26Well, maybe you will
00:31:28How about it?
00:31:31I'm fresh out of money, Mr. Brady
00:31:33Not even a cufflink to pull
00:31:36And you'll sell?
00:31:38I'll think it over
00:31:39Big order, huh?
00:31:42Give me that
00:31:43Hey, hold it
00:31:45How long will this job take?
00:31:46This casing and cementing off?
00:31:49Two or three weeks
00:31:50The professor's pretty sure of himself
00:31:52And you once said you like to gamble
00:31:53All right, I'll make you another proposition
00:31:55I'll give you $5,000 now
00:31:57And three weeks to pay off or to bring in your wealth
00:31:59And if I don't?
00:32:01I get the leases
00:32:02Take it
00:32:04Write your check
00:32:06Is that all right with you, Jim?
00:32:08I guess it'll have to be, Sinatani
00:32:09Shall I make it out to you?
00:32:11No, make it out to my partner
00:32:13Mr. Brady
00:32:17Thanks, Sinatani
00:32:17In tarot key, Sinatani means redhead
00:32:20But to you, Mr. Brady
00:32:22It means boss
00:32:37Can't you see men's wagons, professor?
00:32:40Thanks, boss
00:32:56They don't make sense
00:32:58Up and see men down the hole
00:33:00You plug it up
00:33:01That's the idea
00:33:03Ready
00:33:13Well, now we'll drill through the cement, see?
00:33:16It won't work
00:33:17All right, boys
00:33:18Come and get it
00:33:19Come and get it
00:33:492,100 feet
00:33:52Maybe the jawhead was right
00:33:55Why don't you start
00:34:13I know
00:34:14I thought three weeks would be enough
00:34:15I was wrong
00:34:18Have you paid up the boys?
00:34:20No
00:34:21They'll work until the end of the midnight tower
00:34:24I guess we can score one up for Mr. Tanner
00:34:27The practical oil man
00:34:30Goodbye, Mr. Brady
00:34:32Send me one of your books sometime
00:34:39I'll do better than that
00:34:41I'll buy you the best dinner in Tulsa
00:34:43And a bottle of champagne to cry in
00:34:45No, thanks
00:34:47Suit yourself
00:34:49Nothing like being a good loser
00:34:52I'll be ready in 20 minutes
00:34:59I had a cousin in Muskogee
00:35:01Can make a pair of these things
00:35:02Jump in the bar
00:35:03Why, this isn't the dining room
00:35:06Well, felt my bitches
00:35:08If it ain't my cousin Cherokee
00:35:10What are you folks doing here?
00:35:12I thought y'all was out making an oil
00:35:14Well
00:35:14I, uh
00:35:15Once saw a man make 14 straight passes
00:35:19Five would do it for us
00:35:20Come on
00:35:21Okay, okay
00:35:22Here we go
00:35:27Brad
00:35:29Brad, darling
00:35:30Hello, Ken
00:35:31But I thought you were still in Tampico
00:35:33Wherever have you been hiding?
00:35:38Has it been terribly dull, darling?
00:35:42No, not since, uh, Tampico
00:35:44Oh, Candy
00:35:45This is Cherokee Lansing
00:35:47Miss Candy, uh
00:35:48Williams
00:35:50Cherokee
00:35:51What an odd name
00:35:52So
00:35:53So sort of Indian-ish
00:35:55Isn't it, Bruce?
00:35:58And Candy's so sort of stick-ish
00:36:00Isn't it, honey?
00:36:05Seven, excuse me
00:36:08Five $100 chips, please
00:36:10Good night, sir
00:36:11Hello, Miss Lansing
00:36:12Hello, Mr. Tanner
00:36:14Oh, studying rock formations, Professor
00:36:18Bones

00:36:38Another loser
00:36:40Boy, are you salty
00:36:41Give me those dominoes
00:36:43Professor
00:36:44There are some things you can learn
00:36:46Only in a ranch funhouse
00:36:48Come on, little old maverick
00:36:49Let's start a stampede
00:36:51Yahoo!
00:36:53Seven a winner
00:36:54Made a line
00:36:55The four rides

00:37:00Come on, Boone
00:37:01Let's get out
00:37:03Another natural
00:37:04Clean the line
00:37:04Let it ride
00:37:08Okay, Mustang's pitching box
00:37:10This year's cowgirl needs some luck
00:37:12E-11
00:37:14Three in a row
00:37:15That's wonderful
00:37:17Fourteen
00:37:18Fifteen
00:37:18One is sixteen hundred
00:37:20Shoot the work
00:37:21Sorry, Miss Lansing
00:37:22The limit's a thousand
00:37:22The man is to die by inches
00:37:24Shooting a thousand
00:37:25White-faced cow with a big brown eye
00:37:28Seven or eleven
00:37:29There she is
00:37:31Seven it is
00:37:34Another thousand

00:37:41Let it ride
00:37:43And twenty-five hundred
00:37:44On the side to you, Tanner
00:37:47You're fated
00:38:00Iron is ready
00:38:01And the brand is hot
00:38:02The number is seven
00:38:04For all I've got
00:38:06Two aces
00:38:07A loser
00:38:11You are a gambler, Miss Lansing
00:38:15It's important
00:38:16Let me do this
00:38:19Brad, it's in, it's in
00:38:22You can't stop it, Brad
00:38:23It's ruining the wire
00:38:25Come on, man
00:38:29Come on
00:38:31Come on
00:38:32Let's push it, will you?
00:38:33Seven down, shorty
00:38:44Come on
00:38:45Come on, Danny, come on, Danny
00:39:02Oh, you're a crazy!
00:39:08What a hell of a bomb!
00:39:10Yeah, but it's costing us a thousand dollars an hour.
00:39:14Hey, truck! You're not going to jump!
00:39:15Okay, bud!
00:39:19Hey, look!
00:39:20I think someone's saying, see that ship's over there.
00:39:22Hold down! Hold down!
00:39:24A hundred dollars every man! I'm helping us keep them up!
00:39:29Hey, Cooley! We can deal with those fuels of them, please!
00:39:32Do you want me?
00:39:33You heard me, but start filling a bag!
00:39:36I'm taking a team!
00:39:38And hundreds in the short for the entire world!
00:39:40What?
00:39:41Isn't there nothing I can do?
00:39:43Sure! Grab a shuttle!
00:39:49All right, boys, use the slack on that team!
00:39:55What's that?
00:39:58Give me one of those shovels!
00:40:00Come on, Bob, you'll miss all of these!
00:40:03He's getting all of them!
00:40:13They can build it by!
00:40:26We'll just try to get them!
00:40:30We'll be in the car!
00:40:33Oh, boy!
00:40:34He's getting all of them!
00:40:34Thank you, Minster!
00:40:45All right, boys!
00:40:48Hey!
00:40:48Get out of here!
00:40:49Come on!
00:40:49Come on!
00:40:50Come on!
00:40:50Come on!
00:40:51Come on!
00:40:57How many barrels do you fly?
00:40:59When you count this speed, you don't count them in barrels, you count them in ten times.
00:41:04Where are you going?
00:41:05Where are you going?
00:41:06Don't ask me.
00:41:08My fuel team can't be somewhat restricted.
00:41:13Get it over here.
00:41:16Come on.
00:41:17Come on.
00:41:17Come on.
00:41:24Come on.
00:41:28Come on!
00:41:30Come on!
00:41:33Easy!
00:41:36No down!
00:41:38Come on!
00:41:56It's not a bad idea.
00:42:26Isn't it wonderful, Jim?
00:42:32Oh, don't bother with that now.
00:42:37A thousand dollars an hour.
00:42:40Twenty-four thousand dollars a day we've only started.
00:42:45Tana was right.
00:42:50Man, oh man.
00:42:53Fifty thousand barrels.
00:42:56Here she comes now.
00:42:59I'll have the guns for you Friday, Miss Lansing.
00:43:01The car's at the curb, Miss Lansing, and the keys are in.
00:43:04Best residential site in the whole city, Miss Lansing.
00:43:06I'm having the Waldorf Suite reserved for you, Miss Lansing.
00:43:09Good morning.
00:43:09How does it feel to be Tulsa's oil queen?
00:43:11So far?
00:43:12Just fine.
00:43:14I've got another proposition for you.
00:43:15How about lunch?
00:43:17No, thanks.
00:43:18But I'm glad to see you're a good loser.
00:43:20Don't get that idea.
00:43:22I have no respect for good losers.
00:43:23They get to make a habit of it.
00:43:25Besides, you're forgetting that I own part of that field, too.
00:43:28You'll have to drill mighty fast to keep up with me.
00:43:31Good morning.
00:43:32There she is, Miss Lansing.
00:43:34All you have to do is step on the starter and drive her away.
00:43:39Send me the bill.
00:43:49Aye.
00:43:50Hello, Siemens Arnie.
00:43:57Like it?
00:43:58Who wouldn't?
00:44:00They told me Brad was here.
00:44:02Think of them!
00:44:03What are you doing down there?
00:44:05Rock hounding.
00:44:07Well, it's just about the way I figured it.
00:44:10That outcropping over there looked like the peak of the anticline.
00:44:13And from the slope of the rock strata here, I'm sure of it.
00:44:16That means your ranch is right on the structure.
00:44:18Oil on Jim's ranch?
00:44:20There's no doubt of it.
00:44:22That's wonderful.
00:44:24Is it?
00:44:28Jim, oil and cattle can get along together.
00:44:31Why not let us show you how?
00:44:35Come here.
00:44:41Now there's our well.
00:44:43The others will space one to every ten acres, each well fenced.
00:44:47There'll be plenty of pasture in between.
00:44:50So Jim agreed.
00:44:52And a year later, it was just like Brad had promised.
00:44:55Jim was satisfied, Brad was proud.
00:44:58But Cherokee was ambitious.
00:45:00She was beginning to see what oil money could really mean.
00:45:05You see, Jim, we haven't spoiled you past.
00:45:07You have plenty of room for cattle.
00:45:09You did a good job, Brad.
00:45:11I'm glad I gave you my lease.
00:45:13Tell me something.
00:45:14What are you going to do with all of your money?
00:45:15I'm going to get the best purebreds that money can buy.
00:45:17All right, same old Jim.
00:45:19Why don't you take a place in town and really enjoy life?
00:45:23And you're just as bad.
00:45:25Spending all of your time in the field.
00:45:27Just a couple of stick in the mud, sir.
00:45:29Well, you are.
00:45:30You ought to see the way Tulsa's growing.
00:45:32Three new office buildings, a new water supply, an airport.
00:45:54Hello, Charlie.
00:45:55I was just on my way over to see you.
00:45:57Here's your royalty check.
00:46:02This ain't enough.
00:46:04Why you got only one well on my place?
00:46:07Tanner's drilled three wells on Galagina's place.
00:46:10But we're not operating Tanner's way, Mr. Lightfoot.
00:46:13Why not?
00:46:14Same oil under both places.
00:46:16And Galagina take out three times as much.
00:46:19There's more to it than that.
00:46:21See, Natani's protecting our grass.
00:46:22All I want is my share of the oil.
00:46:25My lease says you got to drill well for well with next door plays.
00:46:29If you don't, I break lease and sign with Tanner.
00:46:36Can he do that?
00:46:38He can if we don't offset.
00:46:39And if we do, we'll have another forest of derricks.
00:46:42Jim, can you get the ranches together at your place tonight?
00:46:46Sure.
00:46:46Well, come on.
00:46:47We'll round up the oil men.
00:46:49Tanner, too?
00:46:51Especially Tanner.
00:46:53He'll be there.
00:46:54Evening.
00:46:55How do you do, Mr. Kelly?
00:46:55Oh, Mr. Kelly, I'm glad you could come, sir.
00:46:57Nice to see you, Brad.
00:46:58I kept my promise.
00:47:00John Ryan of the Creek Nation.
00:47:02How do you do?
00:47:02Black Coat, the Seminole.
00:47:04Glad to meet you, sir.
00:47:05Gentlemen.
00:47:06Hello, Tanner.
00:47:07Evening.
00:47:10What is this, the gathering of the tribes?
00:47:12I think your scalp will be safe, Mr. Tanner.
00:47:17Evening, competitors.
00:47:18Gentlemen.
00:47:19Gentlemen, would you kindly find a place and sit down?
00:47:25We've brought you landowners and oil operators here tonight to see if we can reach an agreement
00:47:29on the proper development of our field.
00:47:32But first, I want to show you a picture.
00:47:34Pinky.
00:47:35Coming up, cuz.
00:47:36Hit the switch place now.
00:47:45Now, this was the Glen Pool.
00:47:48Once the richest field in Oklahoma.
00:47:50And you all know its history.
00:47:52Flushed production for a while.
00:47:54And then it went on the pump.
00:47:55And then it died.
00:47:57And look at it now.
00:47:59Coming up, cut.
00:48:02A wasteland.
00:48:04All right, Pinky.
00:48:10Not one blade of grass has grown on that land for more than ten years.
00:48:14And beyond that, no more than thirty percent of the oil was ever recovered.
00:48:18And what caused it?
00:48:20Senseless cutthroat competition.
00:48:22Every man sinking as many wells as he can, as fast as he can, for fear that the fellow necks
00:48:26more than his share of the oil.
00:48:27Can't we learn from the past?
00:48:29What's on your mind, Brady?
00:48:31We've got to agree to drill no more than one well for every ten acres we control.
00:48:36We've got to limit production to a set amount each day.
00:48:40Sure.
00:48:41It may mean a smaller immediate profit.
00:48:43But in the long run, more profits.
00:48:46And to you ranchers and homesteaders, preservation of your land long after the oil is gone.
00:48:51Hold on, Professor.
00:48:55You say the Glenfield is dead.
00:48:57What are the things it brought to life?
00:48:59What of Tulsa?
00:49:00It's skyscrapers.
00:49:01It's homes.
00:49:02It's industries.
00:49:03They're still here and they're growing.
00:49:05And they were brought here not by a trickle of oil, but by a flood.
00:49:08Oil and land aren't sacred.
00:49:10They're just the tools men use to build bigger things.
00:49:13You other operators can do as you like.
00:49:15But I'm going to keep on sinking wells.
00:49:17I'm going to make Tulsa the oil capital of the world.
00:49:20And if you landowners aren't satisfied with the way your leases are being handled, come to me.
00:49:27I give you my lease.
00:49:29Oh, no, you don't.
00:49:32We'll drill well for well on your place.
00:49:34And that goes for anyone else who isn't satisfied.
00:49:37Wait.
00:49:38Think before you decide.
00:49:40The land will be here long after the oil is gone.
00:49:44Will it be a land of green grass and clear water?
00:49:46Or will it be like that which you have seen?
00:49:48I want my share of the oil.
00:49:51Then I want mine.
00:49:52How about you, Lacy Mouse?
00:49:53It's as much mine as it is theirs.
00:49:56You'll get it.
00:49:57Jim?
00:49:57I want no more wells on my place.
00:50:00Promise me that's seen it, honey.
00:50:02All right, if that's the way you want it.
00:50:05You're beginning to sound like a practical oil man.
00:50:08Maybe we ought to talk business.
00:50:10Lunch tomorrow?
00:50:11Too bad, young fellow, but it looks like Tanner's calling the play.
00:50:15That seems pretty clear.
00:50:1712.30.
00:50:30We'll start sputting new wells in the morning.
00:50:32Are those your orders or Tanner's?
00:50:34I'm just facing thanks.
00:50:36But I don't have to like them, and I think you do.
00:50:52It's open.
00:51:01Are you that mad?
00:51:03Not mad.
00:51:04Just unnecessary.
00:51:06I didn't say so.
00:51:08You didn't need an engineer to develop that field.
00:51:10You can hire a drill pusher anywhere.
00:51:15Where are you going?
00:51:17Venezuela?
00:51:18Algiers?
00:51:20Tampico?
00:51:21What's the difference?
00:51:27Not on the shoes.
00:51:34You once offered to buy me the best dinner in Tulsa
00:51:36and a bottle of champagne to cry into.
00:51:38I'll do the same for you.
00:51:40No, sir.
00:51:43Okay.
00:51:46But as the man once said,
00:51:48there's nothing like being a good loser.
00:51:51All right.
00:51:53But make mine bourbon.
00:51:54I don't like champagne.
00:51:56Pick me up in 20 minutes.
00:51:58Okay.
00:52:16Max.
00:52:19Don't you see, Cherokee?
00:52:22Oil means more to me than just quick millions.
00:52:27It's like...
00:52:32Well, it's like those purebred Herefords were to your father.
00:52:37Running away won't solve anything.
00:52:41Brad, I need you.
00:52:43Maybe there'll be other chances.
00:52:46Not without legislation.
00:52:49That's it.
00:52:50If you stay here, you can fight for that.
00:52:52Go into politics.
00:52:54Oil's just part of the picture.
00:52:57Tulsa's growing and we can grow with it.
00:53:00Who knows how far we can go.
00:53:18Skeletons?
00:53:19No.
00:53:21Truth be.
00:53:23I wore that the day our third well came in.
00:53:26And this was our second.
00:53:30Surely you remember this one.
00:53:33What a sight I was.
00:53:54Stay, won't you, darling?
00:53:58Brad stayed.
00:53:59The drills went down and the derrick shot up.
00:54:02And the oil money flowed in faster than Cherokee could spend it.
00:54:06She was the oil queen, all right.
00:54:08That didn't seem to be enough.
00:54:10Wasn't just a question of getting even with Tanner anymore.
00:54:13Her ambition had run away with her.
00:54:16She was like Tulsa's new buildings.
00:54:18Reaching for the sky.
00:54:20The hangout.
00:54:21The air.
00:54:34Oh, God.
00:54:41I'm trying to buy you.
00:54:49I'm trying to lose his butt.
00:54:50Jesus.
00:55:04Right there.
00:55:06That's fine.
00:55:09Jenny, would you fix these dresses nicely for me, please?
00:55:11Yes.
00:55:16Let's see now. I've arranged for the musicians, the caterers, the florists.
00:55:21And half the population of Tulsa.
00:55:24I bet you couldn't rent a dress suit within 100 miles here.
00:55:27Had four offers for mine this afternoon.
00:55:29Pinky.
00:55:34Hello?
00:55:36Yes, Bruce.
00:55:38He'll be here.
00:55:41Hey, Mr. Griffith, too.
00:55:44All right, Bruce. See you at night.
00:56:03Darling.
00:56:08Where have you been all week?
00:56:09Trying to sell conservation to a couple of politicians.
00:56:12How much am I offered for my vote?
00:56:16Here, let me take your coat.
00:56:18I'm glad you're in time for the party.
00:56:20What's the occasion this time?
00:56:22Culture, Cutter.
00:56:24Reception for the opera company.
00:56:25I've invited the governor, sent it to watch, Mrs.
00:56:28And Bruce Tanner?
00:56:30Well, after all, he's one of the sponsors of the opera.
00:56:33You're not really jealous, are you?
00:56:36Yes, I am.
00:56:37You needn't be.
00:56:38I'm gonna marry you.
00:56:41When?
00:56:42In the sweet by and by.
00:56:46Oh, Pinky, hush.
00:56:49Don't mind me cutting.
00:56:51Man's waiting for his answer.
00:56:54When?
00:56:57Don't pin me down now, Brad.
00:56:58I've got a thousand things to do.
00:57:04There.
00:57:06I've got to see that caterer.
00:57:21Firewater ain't the answer, cousin.
00:57:23What is?
00:57:25I don't know.
00:57:27I don't know if there is one.
00:57:30She's got the bit in her teeth.
00:57:32She's headed for the mountains.
00:57:43Mrs. Bob.
00:57:44Mrs. Lansing.
00:57:45Good evening, Governor.
00:57:46I'm so glad you could go.
00:57:48Nice view there.
00:57:56Hello, Bruce.
00:58:00When are you, Tullsons, going to give up
00:58:01trying to take the state capital away from O.C.?
00:58:04Not till we get it, Ned.
00:58:09Spare time for a dance?
00:58:11Oh, Brad, I can't.
00:58:13The governor.
00:58:21What's so funny?
00:58:22Well, what's the matter with you, Brad?
00:58:27You're very fortunate, Mrs. Lansing,
00:58:29to have such an influential friend with Mr. Tanner.
00:58:31Oh, I don't know.
00:58:36Save.
00:58:38Governor, take another look at her.
00:58:40I think you'll agree I'm the lawyer.
00:58:43The day her father was killed, he said to me,
00:58:46she was gentle down.
00:58:47Her mother did.
00:58:53Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
00:59:16Oh, I don't know.
00:59:21Well, it ain't no offense, ma'am,
00:59:24but I in Oklahoma, we haven't had a chance
00:59:26to cotton up to that heavy-breathing type of singing.
00:59:29Uh, would you mind moving over, cousin?
00:59:32Ma'am, have you ever been on...
00:59:35No, ma'am.
00:59:37You ain't ever been on a horse.
00:59:39Well, ma'am, I ain't in Oklahoma...
00:59:40Oh, oh, ma'am.
00:59:41Just make yourself comfortable right there.
00:59:43Out in Oklahoma, we got a peculiar kind of a rhythm.
00:59:47Have you ever seen a cowhand
00:59:48riding the range, rounding up the cattle?
00:59:51Well, there's something about those hoofbeats
00:59:53that conjures up a rhythm, a song.
00:59:56You all know the words.
00:59:57The words are easy, and you know the first one.
01:00:03Come on, shorty, give me them hoofbeats.
01:00:07Down the trail to the one I love.
01:00:15I can hardly wait till I get to Tulsa.
01:00:20Climb on, cousin.
01:00:21With the moon and the stars
01:00:24And the one I'm dreaming of
01:00:33Oklahoma, Bluebird
01:00:35No season blowing a gas, you cuddled.
01:00:37Let's back it up, eight bar.
01:00:41Oklahoma, Bluebird
01:00:42Sing your happy song
01:00:47Pass the word along
01:00:50Nothing can be lacking
01:00:52When I get back in Tulsa
01:00:56Oh, everybody
01:00:57Gotta get to Tulsa
01:01:02Yeah, home
01:01:05Is a county of mine
01:01:10Just like I want to
01:01:13I'll be in my ever
01:01:17At the end of the trail
01:01:20With that loving gal
01:01:23For one
01:01:36Thank you very much
01:01:38But Pinky, you are a great artist
01:01:41A great, great artist
01:01:44Thank you, cousin
01:01:46Come, we must dance
01:01:52Excuse me, governor
01:01:56Oh, Brady
01:01:57Understand you've been
01:01:58Needling some of the boys
01:01:59About a conservation bill
01:02:00Now I'd certainly like
01:02:01To have a little talk
01:02:02With you about that
01:02:03What are some of the measures
01:02:04You have in mind?
01:02:06Well, governor
01:02:06It's something that we're
01:02:07Going to have to come to
01:02:08Sooner or later
01:02:16They're waiting upstairs
01:02:33Everybody here?
01:02:34Yes, Bruce
01:02:34And the papers are ready to be signed
01:02:36This is a mighty big project
01:02:38Miss Lansing
01:02:38Miss Lansing
01:02:39This merger
01:02:40Put you and Tanner
01:02:41In the major leagues
01:02:42I hope so
01:02:43Well, I don't think
01:02:44Standard Oil is going to
01:02:45Go out of business
01:02:46But they'll know we're alive
01:02:49Bruce
01:02:49This is more production
01:02:51Than I agreed to supply
01:02:53It's a bigger deal
01:02:54Than we figured, Cherry
01:02:55But you can handle it?
01:02:58Can she?
01:03:00Yes
01:03:05Of course, I can't make
01:03:06Any promises
01:03:07But I will appoint
01:03:08A commission
01:03:09Well, that's good enough
01:03:10For me
01:03:11Now, sir, if you'll excuse me
01:03:12Go right ahead
01:03:15Say, Pinky
01:03:16Have you seen Cherokee?
01:03:17Yeah
01:03:17She went upstairs
01:03:22About again
01:03:26See you tomorrow, Bruce
01:03:27Good night
01:03:29Congratulations
01:03:33You know, Cherry
01:03:34There's one section
01:03:34Of your field
01:03:35You've barely touched
01:03:36Jim Redbird's place
01:03:37I know
01:03:38But I made a promise
01:03:39About that
01:03:40Well, offer him
01:03:41Another sixth
01:03:42Even a fifth
01:03:42This tell oil deal
01:03:44Is too important, Cherry
01:03:45Besides, you can't object
01:03:46To your making him
01:03:47A fortune
01:03:47No
01:03:48But Brad has
01:03:49Some funny ideas, too
01:03:50He wouldn't be
01:03:52Easy to persuade
01:03:52Cherry
01:03:53You underestimate yourself
01:03:54There isn't anything
01:03:56You couldn't get a man
01:03:57To agree to
01:03:57Grab
01:04:04Grab
01:04:07Grab
01:04:10Grab
01:04:11Grab
01:04:15Listen
01:04:16Listen, everybody
01:04:18I must tell you
01:04:19Some wonderful news
01:04:20I'm going to be married
01:04:23To a man you all know
01:04:25A man I'm very much
01:04:26In love with
01:04:28Brad Brady
01:04:48Good night, Mr. Vandal
01:04:51Helen
01:04:53Good night
01:04:55Good night
01:05:03That'll be all of us
01:05:09Honey, forgive me
01:05:10For being such a jealous idiot
01:05:11You're the nicest idiot
01:05:13I ever hoped to marry
01:05:18I almost forgot the good news
01:05:19The governor's going to appoint
01:05:21A commission on conservation
01:05:22Oh, that's wonderful
01:05:23They're coming here
01:05:24To look at our field
01:05:25And when they see
01:05:26The difference between
01:05:27Tanner's methods
01:05:28And the way we've handled
01:05:29Jim Redbird's place
01:05:30Brad
01:05:30I know we'll get
01:05:31The legislation we want
01:05:32Brad, listen to me
01:05:33What?
01:05:34I've made a deal
01:05:35With Tanner
01:05:36It's big, darling
01:05:38It can mean
01:05:38Our own pipelines
01:05:40Refinery
01:05:40Spilling stations
01:05:42The whole works
01:05:44Well, you might have
01:05:44Said something to me
01:05:46As a partner
01:05:47If nothing else
01:05:49I was afraid
01:05:49You wouldn't go along
01:05:51It means drilling
01:05:52More wells
01:05:53On Jim Redbird's place
01:05:54I know
01:05:55I promised
01:05:56But Jim wouldn't
01:05:57Hold me to that promise
01:05:58Now
01:05:58He couldn't
01:05:59Besides
01:06:00It's in his own
01:06:00Best interest, isn't it?
01:06:02You ask the questions
01:06:03And you answer them, too
01:06:04What do you want me to say?
01:06:07Just say that
01:06:08You're with me all the way
01:06:10Give me the word
01:06:10And we can start
01:06:11Our honeymoon tomorrow
01:06:13And by the time
01:06:14We get back
01:06:14We'll be right up there
01:06:15With Tanner
01:06:17I'm afraid
01:06:17That's a little bit
01:06:18Too high for me, Cherokee
01:06:19I don't think
01:06:20I could breathe
01:06:20The same air as Tanner
01:06:22What are you?
01:06:23A boy scout?
01:06:25Or a man?
01:06:26For some years
01:06:27I thought I was a man
01:06:28But now I'm not so sure
01:06:29Well, you better
01:06:30Make up your mind, mister
01:06:31The man I marry
01:06:31Has got to be sure
01:06:32Oh, no
01:06:33You don't want a husband
01:06:34You want a trained seal
01:06:35You can pull around
01:06:36On a leash
01:06:37I can't stand
01:06:38Tight collars
01:06:38Well, I'm glad
01:06:39This happened tonight
01:06:41I'm beginning to see
01:06:42What you really are
01:06:43So am I
01:06:45And I don't like me
01:06:47You have a short memory
01:06:48What were you
01:06:49When I first met you?
01:06:50A broken down jarhead
01:06:52Full of empty talk
01:06:53I've dragged you
01:06:54All the way to the top
01:06:55And now that we have
01:06:56A chance for the big kill
01:06:57What do I find?
01:06:59A scared little boy
01:07:01Tanner was right
01:07:03You're small
01:07:03And you think small
01:07:05I don't need you
01:07:06I don't want you
01:07:08You go find
01:07:09Some scared little girl
01:07:10And tell her
01:07:11What a big, brave man you are
01:07:31Hurry it up
01:07:32Get that old sign out of here
01:07:59There's your answer, Jim
01:08:00They're heading for your place
01:08:01But she promised
01:08:02She lied to you
01:08:03She lied to us both
01:08:05I'm gonna see the governor
01:08:07He may be able to do something
01:08:21Well, how do you like
01:08:22Your filling station?
01:08:23The orange clashes
01:08:25Change it to green
01:08:27Leave a toe on them
01:08:28Every time
01:08:29We'll change it
01:08:32By the way
01:08:33I've been meaning
01:08:34To congratulate you
01:08:35On your engagement
01:08:36The engagement's broken
01:08:38That's what I mean
01:08:54Miss Lansing
01:08:55Do you accept expensive gifts
01:08:57From men?
01:08:59Oh, it's beautiful
01:09:00Turn it over
01:09:06The deed to the buffalo horn
01:09:08Do I begin to look more like Santa Claus now?
01:09:12No
01:09:13But you look awfully distinguished
01:09:16Distinguished enough to be governor
01:09:18The party thinks I'd make a good candidate
01:09:20They have some wild idea
01:09:22I'm a fine public spirit citizen
01:09:24Because I built a few skyscrapers
01:09:26And sponsored the Spavanor water system
01:09:28Governor Tanner
01:09:30You could be
01:09:31There's only one catch
01:09:32They tell me the voters prefer family men
01:09:37You'd make a lovely first lady, Cherry
01:09:41Thanks, Bruce
01:09:47We're a lot alike, Redhead
01:09:49Smart, ambitious
01:09:50And hard as a driller's fist
01:09:55Right now, Tulsa's our city
01:09:57We could make Oklahoma our state
01:09:58After that, who knows
01:10:02What do you say?
01:10:04Bruce
01:10:06The Indian Redbird
01:10:07He won't let our men on his place
01:10:09He almost took a shot at me
01:10:11But Jim wouldn't do a thing like that
01:10:12That wasn't no pop gun he was pointing
01:10:14Says he doesn't want any more wells
01:10:15Just say the word, Mr. Tanner
01:10:17And we'll take care of that Indian for keeps
01:10:18No
01:10:19I won't have anything like that, Bruce
01:10:21We need that oil, Cherry
01:10:23We've got to have it
01:10:24There must be some other way
01:10:26There is
01:10:27You can't break the lease with a shotgun
01:10:30Get me Judge McKay
01:10:39Yes
01:10:40Well, this lease seems to be in order
01:10:43Now, what's this all about?
01:10:45Your Honor, I want no more wells on my place
01:10:47But you signed the lease
01:10:49It doesn't restrict the number of wells
01:10:51I don't want my land destroyed
01:10:53But Great Scott, man
01:10:54It's oil land
01:10:55Don't you want the royalties that properly belong to you?
01:10:58Apparently he doesn't, Your Honor
01:10:59And he doesn't want anyone else to have them, either
01:11:00Well, frankly, I could better understand your attitude
01:11:03If these people had refused to put in more wells
01:11:06Mr. Winslow
01:11:07Has the Indian Department certified to this man's competency?
01:11:10Yes, sir
01:11:11He ceased being a ward of the government on his 21st birthday
01:11:14I'm not at all sure he doesn't need a guardian
01:11:16All we ask, Your Honor, is that he be restrained
01:11:19From further interference with our operations
01:11:21No more shotguns
01:11:23I so order
01:11:24And I am issuing the injunction
01:11:30What kind of justice is this
01:11:31Which compels a man to stand by while his land is destroyed?
01:11:34If it is my land
01:11:35It is my oil
01:11:37I give you the oil
01:11:38All of it
01:11:39I give you the royalties
01:11:40I want nothing from oil
01:11:42And I want nothing from you, Sinatoni
01:11:44But no more derricks on my land
01:11:46Mr. Redbird
01:11:47This is an official proceeding
01:11:49And I can hold you in contempt of court
01:11:52Mr. Winslow, I seriously question this man's competency
01:11:55The department has no jurisdiction, Your Honor
01:11:57Well, the court has
01:11:58Mr. Redbird, if you cause any more trouble
01:12:01This court will take steps to declare you a mental incompetent
01:12:05And appoint a guardian to handle your affairs
01:12:14Jim
01:12:17Try to understand
01:12:18How can I understand, Sinatoni?
01:12:20You heard what the judge said
01:12:23I'm crazy
01:12:24I'm a crazy Indian
01:12:32You ought to feel real proud, Cherokee
01:12:36Pinky, wait
01:12:38Cherokee, where are you going?
01:12:39To tell Jim there'll be no more wills on his land
01:12:42You can't afford to be sentimental now
01:12:44There's too much at stake
01:12:45Yes, and I've just realized one
01:12:48Stop now and you stop tell oil
01:12:50We'll lose a fortune
01:12:51We deserve it
01:12:52Welcome home, my cousin
01:12:55Where's Jim, Pinky?
01:12:56He's gone, Brad, I've got a part
01:12:59She's down from the mountains, Brad
01:13:00She's my cousin again
01:13:16I'm not at all sure he doesn't need it
01:13:21What kind of justice is this
01:13:22It propels a man to stand by
01:13:25It's my land, it's my oil
01:13:36Redbird, Redbird, this is an official proceeding
01:13:39I can hold you and hold you in court
01:13:41In court
01:13:42It's law, I seriously
01:13:44Question, question
01:13:45The department has no jurisdiction
01:13:47The court has
01:13:49Mr. Redbird, if you may cause any more trouble

01:21:42Kid!
01:22:09Get out! Let me in that seat! Put the blanket on me, Bill!
01:22:20Brady! Brady!
01:22:21Sherry and Redberger trapped in the man!
01:22:24Where do you think they're going? Come back here!
01:22:27Tell old Spiderman to keep those hoses turned on me!
01:22:30Come back here, Bill!
01:22:33Put those hoses on him! On him!

01:25:24Come on, come on.
01:25:25Come on, come on.
01:25:30Come on, come on.
01:25:34I'm sorry, Senator.
01:25:36But when I saw those dead cattle, I guess I should go, Gracie.
01:25:40You were never that, Jim.
01:25:41You're the best man I ever knew in my life.
01:25:55She jumped that brake.
01:25:57She's holding.
01:25:58Looks like Jim's brakes is going to be safe.
01:26:02I'm sorry.
01:26:04I'm sorry.
01:26:13I'm sorry.
01:26:19I'm sorry.
01:26:31Well, it was once an oil field.
01:26:33It's still an oil field.
01:26:35It wouldn't have been after another year of your handling.
01:26:37You're pumped it dry.
01:26:38You ought to be glad this happened.
01:26:39Oh, sure.
01:26:40I ought to give this fire bug a medal.
01:26:42Since when is it a crime to throw a match into a stream of running water?
01:26:45But there was oil in that water.
01:26:48So you admit your oil polluted that stream.
01:26:51I admit nothing.
01:26:52Oh, what's the difference?
01:26:53That field's going to come to life again.
01:26:56But when it does, it's going to be just the way Brad planned it.
01:26:58With spaced wells.
01:27:00And fences to protect the cattle.
01:27:01And restricted oil production.
01:27:03If we can prove conservation here, the whole state will follow.
01:27:07The whole nation.
01:27:11Miss Lansing, I could kiss you.
01:27:14Professor, that's still a good idea.
01:27:17Well, cousins, that's the way it worked out.
01:27:21Modern oil fields are a lot different from the old ones.
01:27:24Like Signal Hill and Kettleman.
01:27:27Nowadays in East Texas, Louisiana, and California's Cuyama Valley,
01:27:31you can see conservation working.
01:27:34And it's good for everybody.
01:27:36Cattlemen, oilmen, and us Tulsans.
01:27:40Yes, sir.
01:27:41Tulsa's still the oil capital of the world.
01:27:44And mighty proud of it.
01:27:45And proud of the folks who made it so.
01:27:50Used to exist!ashes
01:27:50up! MunAfee
01:27:53Stand up!ến
