All language subtitles for Daniel Boone - S05E26 - A Pinch of Salt

MUSIC

Well, I call the others.

Just a muddy stream, Ben.

All I can figure is that it must have been a long drought,

and when it did rain, the earth soaked up all the water like sponge.

Yeah, well, I'm afraid I'm perishing with a thirst down.

I mean, it's been 24 hours since I finally watered the stream.

Now, slow, slow, slow down, David.

I did spot a cabin and a whir.

Oh, well, where?

MUSIC

Hello.

Well, don't you think maybe water asks?

Yes, I suppose we should.

May I have a drink?

Well, why don't you ask them?

Whoa!

What do you want here?

Well, we were just getting a drink.

We were a little parched.

Can I help you down?

We would have asked, but we didn't see anyone.

Well, there isn't anyone but us.

All right, drink your fill.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Where are you headed?

Oh, east and north.

We're doing a little mapping for the Continental Congress.

Well, um, we have plenty of Brabitz-2 for supper.

You're welcome to share it, if you like, and bed down in the lean-to for the night.

Well, we wouldn't want to cause you any trouble.

We're grateful for the water.

Oh, Dan Brabitz-2.

My palate is very sore from an excessive beef jerky.

All right, David. A little home cooking wood tastes good.

We'll accept on the condition that we can put your horse away.

Uh, thank you. That-that would be fine. We'll call you when supper's ready.

Unless you did real good, they don't suspect a thing.

No, they don't.

Mr. Haskins was bluffing.

I mean what he said he'd do to them.

He wouldn't dare.

Well, I certainly hope not.

Oh, he's a mighty old tree.

From the coon skin cap on the top of old fan to the heel of his raw high chew.

The ripenest roar and the spindest man the frontier ever knew.

The annual boom was a man, yes, a big man.

And he fought for America to make all Americans free.

What a fool to do, what a dream come true.

What a dream.

That's right, pleasant, Mr. Bone.

Well, thank you. You know, this Deltzamer is, uh, almost a look alike for one I have back in my cabin called Old Sweet Talker?

You know, Pa brought that from extra county, England, 40 years ago.

I reckon that explains it.

Mine was handed down for my grandpa and he was born an extra.

So maybe our four bears were neighbors.

Oh, yes.

Well, I can't sing for my supper, but...

That's the first picture anyone's ever drawn of me.

Oh, it's just a small token of my esteem for your culinary skill, Miss Leslie.

You sound different from anybody I ever met before.

Well, uh, David doesn't mean to sound apity, but...

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Well, uh, David doesn't mean to sound apity, but he was educated in Europe.

Oh, well, I like the way it sounds.

You mean you've been to all those places, like Rome and London and Madrid and Paris?

Oh, just Paris and London. That's all.

London.

Oh.

I mean to live in a big city one day, and be like Boston or Philadelphia.

Maybe even London.

Less.

Mr. Boone doesn't seem to have enough coffee.

Oh, no, thank you.

Ladies, could you tell me if there's any more water, I mean wells between here and the mountains?

Oh, there's the Kester Place. It's about, um, 20 miles to east.

Okay, work out fine.

Miss Theodore, Miss Leslie, you...

David now be leaving about sunrise, so I'm sure we won't have a chance to say goodbye to you in the morning.

I'd like to thank you for your fine hospitality.

You're quite welcome.

Mr. Boone, Mr. Scott, I hope that the lane too will not be too uncomfortable.

Oh, I can assure you that after two weeks on the trail, it will seem, uh, palatial.

Thank you very much, ladies, for a delightful evening.

Uh, thank you for everything.

Good luck to you.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh.

I feel like a viper. They're being so nice and I shake.

We're only doing what we have to do.

Well, they don't make me feel any better doing it.

You don't just have your eye on that David Scott. That's what's bothering you.

Last honey, we agreed, didn't we?

Yes, we did.

Now, if you change your mind now, I'll understand.

But if you agree, no, we agreed.

I know, it's the only way.

I'll be all right.

You'll see.

What's the matter?

Careful. No sudden moves.

You changed more than your clothes.

Yes, what happened to the gentle young ladies we made yesterday?

Never mind about that.

We'll bring you breakfast once you started working.

What? Did you request any employment from these ladies down? I certainly didn't.

Never mind about that. Let's get out and take this lap and while you go.

Hold it right there. You pick up a stone, Mr. Boone?

Throw.

Last?

Mr. Boone?

Throw.

In case we get an ocean to try and run off.

That's right. You see, we are women, but we're not exactly helpless and we'd hate to have to put a hole in you in order to prove that.

Those are touching sentiments.

You think this is very funny, don't you?

Quite frankly, Miss Theodore, I don't know what to think yet.

Well, don't fret about it. We'll show you.

Would you continue?

Salt. It's pure, solid salt.

With almost as much as a gold mine. Dollar Bush will maybe more.

You expect us to mind this for you?

We do.

And you'll dig enough to fill those ceds and those baskets and those sacks, whatever else it takes to load that wagon outside.

And do it for sundown.

Is that so?

Yes. We'll get no water to drink and no food to eat.

Unnoveful imprisonment and forced labor. I think these ladies should be reported to the authorities.

Oh, you'll get paid.

Do you think that washes and clean?

A dollar a day at fair wage, but you'll get nothing unless you put proper days' labor.

There'll always be somebody out front watching them on the line.

What are we going to do now?

Take some salt, I expect.

You and we're going to let those girls use us as a couple of slave laborers?

You got any suggestions?

Oh, that shouldn't be too difficult. I mean, we do have an over-growing physical superiority.

Right.

You could, uh, take this shell and go out there and sneak up behind that little girl less and smack her over the head.

Hit home?

Yeah.

You know, we're going to get a little bit of water.

You got to go out there and sneak up behind that little girl less and smack her over the head.

Hit home?

Well, you just said.

I used to say, which you may be doing, but that way.

I must say, how scruples against shooting men.

Scruples?

Those two Jezebels? Look, Dan, I'm certain we cannot win them if we put our minds to it.

That might be a possibility, but they've outwered us so far on that score.

That's why I think it's absolutely shameless, I mean, pretending that their help isn't all the while all they're doing is just trying to ensnare us.

It's been going on for thousands of years. Is this the first time you noticed?

Thousands of years.

It's just the way it went.

Balance the scales to get even with nature for short-changed-emode muscle.

Oh, you mean the way they try to entice men into bones of matrimony?

You have noticed.

Mm-hmm.

For you.

Layers, is everything all right?

There must be a shortage of men around here.

Why?

Well, it seems to me that a dollar a day is a perfectly respectable wage.

Now, I'm quite sure that you can get plenty of people to help you without holding us at gunpoint.

Well, I'm glad you don't think you're being underpaid.

Unless, of course, there's something you haven't told us.

No, we've talked to all you need to know.

Now, just how long do you plan keeping us here?

Lose long as we need you.

Look here. I don't know what your problem is, but...

Maybe if you told us, we could help you.

Just don't worry yourself about it.

Get the wagon loaded, that's all.

Young woman, there is a limit to my patience.

In mine, I hate to be goaded into pulling this trigger.

Then we both be sorry.

Can you marry somebody?

Yes, that's Snipper for Girl. Maybe we should forget that they're women.

It's until you.

No, and she was downright offricious about it to boot.

I reckon we'll have to go at this signways.

Any particular reason or is it just a coincidence that both you and your sister

call yourself by men's nicknames? Theodora, Tad, Leslie, Les?

No coincidence. Pa won it's songs.

Mm-hmm.

Meaning he darned your god himself a couple?

Me neither. Mm-hmm. But you said it or I didn't.

You always call yourself for those nicknames.

What, is something wrong with that?

Mm-hmm.

You don't approve of women who can make do without men to lean on, do you?

It's not up to me to approve or disapprove.

Why does it bother you so much?

Father me. Look, I'm proud of it.

Mm-hmm.

Well, you're doing that again.

Doing what? Mm-hmm.

You always answer people when they talk to me.

By the way, whatever happened to your pope?

He died about a year ago in the mine.

He went back to work too soon after having an attack of chest pains.

He was as stubborn as ten mules.

Mm-hmm.

Like father like son?

Right!

Well, did you have any luck? I think so.

Well, I guess there's no harm in explaining to you now why we're forced to do this.

Well, this mine is all we've got.

And every time we've tried to get somebody to work with force,

Haskins has threatened them and bedeviled them and so that they quit on us.

Warren Haskins.

I forgot you wouldn't know about him, but everybody here about us does.

He's a bully and he's rich and he's used to getting his way.

Well, what has he got against you?

Yes!

I'm here.

What are you doing here? I was worried about you.

I've been explaining to them about Haskins.

You have?

Well, just about how he's run off everybody we've tried to get to work for us.

I just want them to know what to expect when he gets wind of them being here.

Well, this Haskins really must be something any man that can get the best of the two of you.

He hasn't and he won't.

I must admit, with all of those men in his pay, he has managed to be just a little bit bothersome.

But he's probably bluffing anyway.

About what?

Oh, I thought Les told you.

He said that he turned further than the next man who came to work for us.

But that doesn't frighten you at all.

Warren Haskins frightened me.

Why, he couldn't do that if he kept trying for the next hundred years.

Especially since us he's talking about.

First he's got to find out you were here.

Then he's got to do that before we get that wagon load of salt into town to go for Miller.

And by the time that's done, Mr. Warren Haskins might just as well go fishing in a rain barrel for all the good it'll do him.

Who is Gunner Miller and what has delivered a wagon to him got to do with Haskins?

We'll talk about that all after supper. Why'd you get back to work?

MUSIC

What I can't understand is that Haskins has the whole town buffload.

Why will Gunner Miller still do business with you?

Nobody. Buffalo's Gunner Miller.

Oh, he buys and sells all over this territory.

That's where we were yesterday. We went to see him.

Oh, so that's why you were dressed up like that.

Masks are aiding as a couple of helpless women to use your wiles on Gunter Miller.

Well, he promised he'd buy all the salt we mined if we could deliver the first wagon load within 48 hours.

But we knew he couldn't do it alone.

Then we came along.

I'm sorry, we couldn't risk having you turn us down if we tried to hurry.

Well, you look like you're finished eating on your feet and hands behind your back.

Les?

Why when you've got your wagon load of salt?

It's not delivered yet to Mr. Miller. I'm afraid I need you for that.

And I don't intend to spend the night standing guard over you.

You say Haskins has men in his pay?

In a manner of speaking, he extends on credit during the summer months,

and then he supplies them with vittles and drink and the like,

and then he collects what they owe him from the skins that they trapped during the following winter.

And turns a handsome prophet, I explain.

It sounds to me as though he thinks that your salt mine is profitable, too,

and he probably plans to keep that for himself as well.

Well, it's something like that.

What I don't understand is what's to prevent the trappers from high tailing it with their season's catch.

Warren Haskins.

One of them tried a couple of years ago. Scud Trumbull.

Haskins spent too much tracking him down.

And what he did, he dragged him back by the scruff of the neck and now scud held him,

keep those other men in line.

Sounds like a very interesting fellow.

Well, he's just not one of those laced shirt merchants, that's all.

But he is a high binder and a thief from all you say.

Oh, why don't you just repulsion with the authorities?

Why don't you just not give us any advice?

We've been getting along just fine without your advice right up until now.

And before the next sunset, Mr. Warren Haskins is going to find himself barking up the wrong tree.

Get out.

If Haskins does show up, we'd be much better off with four rifles than four of a shooting.

If there's any shooting, he'll be less than I'll handle it.

Yes, but if Dan's going to drive and you won't let me have a rifle...

That's in case he gets hit, we'll need a spare. Come on.

How many males Haskins got?

Six or seven.

And you think that you two are going to be able to...

He won't shoot it with me.

Oh, well, that's a comfort.

Dan's with our will, get to Tom before Haskins even knows it.

Well, if they won't shoot or chew, why don't you drive the wagon in yourself?

Cause he's likely to find another way to stop us.

But with a tool that's free to shoot at that band of weasels, at least we stand a chance at getting through no matter what he does.

I know it's uncomfortable sleeping with your hands tied like that, but it can't be helped.

I'm sorry.

Come on, address.

Yes?

Dan, this has gone far enough, but we could have beaten them a dozen times.

Look, let me tell you.

I'm over here, David, and reached out in my boot.

You're nice. You had it all the time.

Hold it firmly.

We can get our rifles and be out of here in no time.

Well, now, hold on.

We're going to see someplace, and this is as good as any.

I hadn't mind just sort of making ourselves a little more comfortable.

What?

Well, there's more to this hasskins business than meets the iron.

I'm curious.

Could be enough to risk being shot at?

Oh, I don't think it's going to go that far.

We'll get our rifles back tomorrow.

And you can go ahead and head on to the mountains.

I'll catch up with you in two or three days.

Well, why might I just decide to stay with you?

Out of curiosity?

You could say that.

Well, I could also say that that Mr. Leslie's a fine-looking young woman.

But you better be careful.

Remember, you're not in London or Paris unless you're looking for a wife.

Now, why if you're certainly jumping to conclusions?

Well, she may do a little jumping too if you're not careful.

Remember, she's a country-bred woman and she may put considerable store in the way you've been looking at her.

Well, until our cultural patterns are drastically changed and women start proposing to men, I don't think I'll worry about it too much.

Well, I'll take back what I said this afternoon.

David, you haven't been noticing enough.

Hmm?

About women.

All right, Mr. Scott, Mr. Boone, his door.

Good morning.

His hands weren't tied.

Well, that was an astute observation.

Where is he?

I don't know. He's probably going to fetch our rifles.

That's exactly right. Good morning, ladies.

Don't mean for that, but we could have left any time last night that we were in mind to.

Well, why didn't you?

Because you said you needed help.

Now, just to prove to you that we mean what we say, why don't you hold that rifle?

David, I'm going to hitch up their horse and not need a hand.

Uh-oh.

Oh.

When you return a little hot coffee, if you wouldn't mind, please. Thank you.

It's a trick.

Well, I know it doesn't make sense after we kept them prisoners, but everything they said.

I don't understand.

But, uh, just to make sure let's bring these guns in the house.

Freeze, ladies.

Right thoughts will be to be carried those two fellas guns.

Be it up!

Mr. Haskins, get off my property!

You surely are an amusing woman, Theodora.

It's a pity about all that work gone for nothing.

I know about your arrangement with Gunther Miller.

It's a pity.

And most certainly it's a pity about you two.

But I wonder...

Well, what are you going to do?

I'm a man of my word, Miss Leslie.

I do believe I made it quite clear what I do to the next man to come to work for you.

Didn't I?

Didn't I?

I most certainly did.

I don't give a hoot about your word.

It just so happens they didn't go to work for us.

Didn't they Theodora?

I said they didn't go to work for us.

We forced them at gunpoint.

Two strapping fellas like that, letting you get the best of them.

You call him a liar?

I am.

And he grieved.

It creeves me to hear you pile and lie on top of life.

Your pa would be whirling in his coffin if he heard you telling moppers like that.

If the poor man was still alive, he'd tan your hide proper.

Or telling such outlandish fibs.

So in his memory,

I'm just going to have to take you on inside and do it for him.

You touch me and you'll never live to see another sunrise.

Mm-hmm.

Let it go and I'm warning you.

Let me go!

Missed the haskins.

It happened just as she said.

And she's been a perfect gentleman.

I don't recall asking you anything.

Well, I know you didn't, but you made such a big show about the truth.

I figured you was really interested in it.

It's good.

And now figure a man is likely to say just about anything to save his neck.

I'd be a little more careful who I threatened if I were you.

Would you now, Sonny?

Yes, I would.

If anything happens to Mr. Boone, you'll have the whole of Boone's British answer to.

Mr. Boone, is it?

Yes.

Daniel Boone.

Well, we are plumb.

Honored.

Now you hear that, Theodora?

You've heard the famous Daniel Boone dig insult for you.

I'm mighty grateful for that piece of information, Sonny.

But even if it was true, Boone's birds are a lot of ways away from here.

However, no one can say I'm an unreasonable man.

Miss Leslie, come up here.

I believe you respect the truth, even if your sister don't.

Oh, don't answer him, Les.

Let him just stew in his own fat juices.

Well, it's true, just like Ted said.

Well, in that case, back to business.

My final offer, Theodora.

I'm not the least but interested in your offer.

I'm interested in your gettin' off my property in as soon as possible.

I said my final offer.

Go chase a raccoon.

Weber?

Find a clean keg and fill it with well water.

Williams.

Get on inside here and take every scrap of food out of that place.

Combs?

You find their packs.

And take any food they've got.

Theodora.

You leave me no choice but to starve you into good sense.

What about them too?

Oh, they stay here.

Four hungry bellies are apt to be a bit more persuasive than two.

I'm sorry to do this to him, Miss Leslie, but you can end it any time you're over mine too.

And as soon as you decide to stop being foolish, come on and let me know.

We'll be up in them hills there.

Watchin' them waitin'.

You can rot up there too.

You have such a sweet nature Theodora.

What about their firearms?

We got them all.

Last chance Theodora.

Turn blue, Mr. Haskins.

Weber?

Get that water back up to the camp.

Last chance Theodora.

It's ruining the well.

For a long time to come.

Let's get on back.

I'm getting hungry.

Theodora.

Don't try sneaking off to get help.

I warn you.

Don't try it.

You're right.

He's not one of your lace-shirted merchants.

Convicts stripes would be more appropriate.

You keep your nose out.

It's none of your business.

She's upset. She didn't mean it.

I must confess I'm very confused.

I mean, he puts salt in there well.

Stills their food, takes our rifles,

and she blames us when we criticize him.

I'm afraid that's a point, David.

It's a private quarrel, and outsiders are not invited.

Yes, well, we're in it.

Whether they like it or not, certainly not by our choice.

No, that's true, but it's probably gonna get worse before it gets better.

This kind of thing.

No, that's true, but it's probably gonna get worse before it gets better.

This kind of lover's quarrel usually does.

Love is quarrel.

David, we're caught right in the middle of a...

...passionate romance.

It's not that I want to give up, David.

But we've lost our chance with Mr. Miller anyway.

Well, we haven't lost our chance.

Well, we haven't until tomorrow morning to deliver that salt.

We haven't lost our chance.

There is no way we can do that now.

Well, of course there's a way. There's a way. There's...

...gotta be a way.

How much longer we have to sit around here like this?

So, Theodore's appetite gets the bed of our cousiness?

It's gonna be dark pretty soon, and I'll have to sneak out right under our noses.

Well, they're live with a tribe.

We're gonna make sure they don't succeed.

She's still sitting in there rocking and just doing.

She's in there. He's up there.

And one didn't know better.

I think the two of them hated one another.

Oh, isn't that the truth?

Sometimes I think about the both of them. They make me so angry at...

...what happened to you, no?

Well, when anyone feels that strong, it's gotta be either love or hate.

There's a lot of foolish pride mixed up in this, but there's no hate in it.

I know.

But Ted won't admit that.

She's made up her mind it was the biggest mistake of her life.

She won't even talk about it.

Then I didn't know.

What?

How long have they been married?

Oh, six months.

Well, how long has this been going on?

Oh, nearly from the first.

She brought her half of the places. Part of the dowry, and he refused to accept it.

And that started.

Well, Ted places a high value on her independence, and he wants her to depend on him for everything.

Independent woman, a prideful man.

It's out of the recipe for a calm marriage.

Well, they've been fighting constantly about it.

She finally moved back here with me.

She just...

...toed herself that it was a big mistake, the whole wedding, and as far as she was concerned, it never even happened.

And then Haskins began his step-up, huh?

You know, I can see it right on both sides.

I can see a lot of wrong on both sides.

Pride, high handedness, you headed stubbornness.

You know, I've never seen two grown people more in need about good hiding.

Are you gonna help us, Mr. Paul?

Well, you gotta help us.

Well, they're so waggin' to make too much noise and Haskins and being honest before we went out.

I'm not gonna go in without that salt.

But of course that is none of your concern, Mr. Boone. You just sneak right off.

Less?

But it's not the salt that you care about.

It's, uh, besting Warren Haskins, isn't it?

That's right, and he's been working for it.

And you'd starve yourself half to death and go without water for a week before you give in?

That's right.

Well, that's your privilege. Why ask your little sister to do it, too?

You're right, I can manage myself.

She can't do it alone.

But that's certainly no concern of yours.

Uh, women are unscrupulous. I mean, they play on your emotions.

I mean, they play on your emotions.

I mean, they play on your emotions.

I mean, they play on your emotions.

They're a failure carriage and they try to make you feel responsible for all their full, hearty adventures.

Anything, absolutely anything to get their own way.

Do you feel a little responsible, David?

No, I don't.

Well, they're not gonna get very far on their own now, are they?

Anyway, they've never said we're a barrel.

How do you mean?

Well, suppose they get away with a salt and Haskins finds us here.

Oh, yes, and he's gonna be pretty furious.

We're the only us to take it out on.

Actually, you know, we could probably get away from here and be miles away by morning.

Leave our rifles behind. I'd hate to be in this country without them.

Well, what do you think about chances of getting our rifles back?

Pretty slim.

I'm sure he's sitting up there right now waiting for us to try.

I see what you mean.

They do have us over a barrel.

Here, I'll do that.

What are you doing here? We don't need your help.

If you don't keep your voice down, there'll be any point in hitching them up.

David?

We're gonna walk our way out through those woods until we're getting the open.

At least that way we'll have a chance.

Come on.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

At least that way we'll have a chance.

What are you doing here?

I heard a noise. I went to have a look.

They left with the wagon.

The road's blocked.

Whoa.

Well, that tree didn't fall down there by itself.

Mr. Haskins.

Well, isn't there another way to go?

Not with the wagon.

I'm sure you weren't going in place tonight.

Fire!

It's the cabin!

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

The cabin is on the way.

I warned you, Theodore.

And you just wouldn't listen.

You haven't got any food.

You haven't got any water.

And now you haven't got any shelter.

Are you about ready to give this foolishness up and come on home?

I'm going to go home.

You get off my property, Mr. Haskins.

The lover's quarrel, Dad.

He's got a little bit out of hand.

He's one Ted.

No, he hasn't.

No, no, no.

What can we do?

We'll rebuild.

How?

I don't know how, but I really can't.

I can't let him win.

I can't let him get away with this.

Didn't I see a cat?

I can't let him get away with this.

I can't get a gunpowder in the mine.

Yeah, Paul used to keep it there for blasting.

And a whale oil lamp?

Have you got any more of that oil?

Yes, why?

I think maybe I have a notion that might turn the tables on Mr. Haskins.

You do?

It might be a little dangerous.

You mean you could hurt Warren Haskins?

Well, it just might send him packing with his tail tucked between his legs.

Then go get him.

I can't let him get away with him.

I can't let him get away with him.

He's just a little dangerous.

I don't know.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to do.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to do.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to do.

David, give me about six holes.

About 15 inches apart, about two feet deep with a downward angle, so there's a whole gunpowder.

We're going to need some rags.

Rags?

Oh, what about those salt sacks?

That'll be fine.

Well, how many?

Well, I'm going to need about 12 strips, sort of thin, sort of like wicks, about so long.

You'll have them.

I'm going to need four more, same length, only eight inches wide.

Right.

Is it permitted to inquire about the point of this trick, creating?

Well, I'll make six holes in the wall here.

15 inches wide, but the man said.

Police at the door.

Bad!

All right.

All right.

Now, where's that gunpowder?

Gunpowder.

Oh, it's over here.

Your fellow, now, my plan is fantastic.

There's a man to come and hear ashes.

And when they do, when they get to this exact spot,

I'm going to explode these walls.

And if my plan works as I hope, some of them

will be buried by piles of salt.

And the rest will be rendered helpless

by clouds of powdered salt.

Dan, let me ask you, where are we going to be when this happens?

Well, we'll be back there.

We'll have some more strags to go over our nose and mouth

so we can breathe.

We'll come out and get their firearms before they can recover.

Well, how are you going to get them all in here?

I mean, all at one time.

We're going to try to get them riled up.

It's the risky part, like this whole plan.

Everything has to go just so.

No hitches or the whole thing will fall apart.

The explosion.

Couldn't that be dangerous?

Couldn't somebody get hurt?

Or even worse?

It's possible some of them will, but will be safe.

Of course, all David and I wanted is to recover our firearms,

but you're grieving us much bigger.

So if you don't want to go through with it,

but I must warn you, if it misfires,

hasskins is going to be murdered in a wounded dress.

Well, I don't care about him.

I mean, I don't care about that.

Of course, we're going to go through with it.

Fine. We've done a lot of work to do before day.

What?

Is there mud?

Oh, you have some wicks.

Please, ready?

Yes.

There we go.

This is really very ingenious, but I would say there's

chances of success at less than a certain.

I would say that's a tolerable reckon.

Just water, better.

Do you think you'll finish before summer?

I think so. Why don't you girls give David a hand?

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Ted, why don't you take these?

Them on a

We are currently in Longerton Road.

OK.

Bye.

We hope we will start shaking.

OK, Miss0010Senior.

To be followed by herd immunity,

be free to coordinates.

You think, Nick.,

I think I'm still iniff?

We've already phrased out this challenge.

Hey.

We are only sure K?

Hey, Joe.

Do you hear anything?

No, I didn't hear anything.

It sounded like somebody's skunking around out there.

Better take a look.

Don't you hear anything?

No.

All right, let's sit out this way.

I'm going to go.

Was it finished?

No, I think so.

Fine, it's almost dry.

I think we're ready for it.

It's water-delicious.

I give anything to see Haskin's face when he finds out it's gone.

All right.

Let's get out.

Let's get out, Pia.

Everything all right, Tumbra?

Everything seems all right.

What's the matter with you?

It's water here, salted.

Salted?

Wait, I remember.

There was two kegs of water.

What?

Well, it's not even a thought of hurt.

Something I noticed, there was two kegs of water.

It was sort of funny, but then I'd blast it.

I've exchanged our fresh water for salt.

Plastic.

You know it?

Damn, they're coming. They're furious.

Oh, fine. That's just a one.

Now, you go on and get in the back, get those white claws, put them over your nose and mouth

so you can breathe, want to explode, and stay down.

What about you?

I've got a few things to finish it, probably back.

Dan, don't you think that we should try to reason with them?

Get started, David.

Here they are.

They're all inside, but it could be a trap.

It could be.

They can't do much without guns, can they?

No.

Peter!

I know you're in there, and you've got the fresh water and I mean to have it.

It's all water!

And it's out of all well and all property.

And we can do it to whatever we please, or we don't please to give it to you.

If you was, you'd just get right off our property.

Theodore, I want you.

I want you to bring that water out here now.

Cause if I have to come on inside and get to some folks, I'd love them to get help.

I guarantee you, somebody will get hurt if you try to come in here.

All right.

We're going on in.

Askins, I advise you to stay right.

Where you are.

I'm telling you something funny going on here.

No, he's bluffing.

Any second.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait.

Wait wait wait don't come in, don't come in here please!

You'll be killed!

What if you're talking about Theodore?

It's frozen. It didn't go wrong.

But why didn't it go wrong?

Fresh mud.

Fresh wet.

You knew about it all the time.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

And if I had, you might not have acted your part so well.

Well, why did you...

Well, I think that that's a...

that's a dirty trick.

On who?

Say, Adora.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Mm.

You've done all that work just to show Mrs. Haskins and me what a couple of mules we've

been.

You're a remarkably devious man, Mr. Boom.

Oh, listen to the part calling the kettle.

Oh, so the mine is all yours now?

Oh, they insisted.

It was the simplest way to end.

Oh.

Oh.

My man will build a log house and they'll work the mine.

And the money from the mine will pay for a trip to Europe.

That's all those wonderful places.

How soon would you believe it?

Oh, two or three weeks, I expect.

Well, you could come by Boomsboro and, well, David will be there and he can tell you about

Europe, sort of prepare you for your trip.

Oh, well, will you be there then?

Well, I do have a few more maps to do, but I'm sure that...

Oh, you'll be back by then, David.

It's just a little bit of a good time to stay with us as long as you like, Miss Leslie.

Oh, that's wonderful.

I'd really be looking forward to that.

Yes.

Oh, will you have any difficulty marketing all that salt?

No, I'm marketing myself.

I had a profit, Mr. Herskens.

I had a fair profit, Theodore.

I had no profit, Mr. Herskens.

We'll discuss it later.

And private.

There's nothing to discuss.

Dear, Theodore, you will not make a profit on your own sister-in-law.

You are trying my patience, Theodore.

Mr. Herskens, I have just begun.
