The Farmer:
Boys, it was hell on wheels. The worst idea in the world to go west. Jake Rumsey:
Oh, come on now. The Farmer:
No, I ain't lying to you, son. We tried farming the first year and a twister wiped us out. Next year it was the cattlemen, then just pure-D rotten soil. There ain't nobody got no money excepting a few. And even if you do have, there ain't a thing worth having. It rains so much it will give you the chilblains. A dry spell comes along and you choke to death on dust. That is if a bushwhacker don't come along and take your last damn dollar. No, I mean it boys, turn around and go back!

Boys, it's hell on wheels.
00:00:05.267 --> 00:00:09.002
The worst damned idea in
the world is to go west.
00:00:09.233 --> 00:00:11.999
Oh, come on, now.
00:00:11.067 --> 00:00:15.533
We tried farming the first year.
Twister wiped us out.
00:00:15.567 --> 00:00:18.733
The next year, it was the cattlemen.
Then just pure rotten soil.
00:00:18.767 --> 00:00:21.000
There ain't nobody got
no money except a few,
00:00:21.001 --> 00:00:23.004
and there ain't a damn
thing worth having.
00:00:23.433 --> 00:00:26.167
Rains so damn much, it will
give you the chill blains.
00:00:26.002 --> 00:00:30.967
Dry spell come along, and you
choke to death on the dust.
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.001
That is, if a bushwhacker
don't come along
00:00:34.067 --> 00:00:36.233
and take your
last damn dollar.
00:00:36.267 --> 00:00:39.867
No, I mean it, boys. Turn
around and go on back. Amen!
00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:43.001
Farming is always the roughest go.
That ain't our line.
00:00:43.067 --> 00:00:45.533
You probably struck out
too late in your years.
00:00:45.567 --> 00:00:49.005
Now, we're boys in our prime.
We take it as it comes.
00:00:49.533 --> 00:00:54.067
You know, seeing as you boys
00:00:54.001 --> 00:00:57.067
ain't going to hit a
town for quite a while,
00:00:57.001 --> 00:01:01.333
you must be getting kind of itchy
here on the trail, you get me?
00:01:01.367 --> 00:01:03.001
What do you mean?
00:01:03.067 --> 00:01:07.005
Now you take min here,
she's a gal and a half.
00:01:07.533 --> 00:01:11.008
She's not exactly virgin territory
if you know what I mean.
00:01:11.833 --> 00:01:14.993
I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:01:14.994 --> 00:01:17.333
I'll make a bargain with you boys seeing
as you're playing it close to the vest.
00:01:17.367 --> 00:01:21.233
Ten dollars for the lot. What you say?
It's your last chance to get poontang.
00:01:21.267 --> 00:01:23.002
You make that $8,
you're on, honey.
00:01:24.001 --> 00:01:27.008
Zeb?
00:01:27.833 --> 00:01:31.003
Well, you boys drive a mighty
hard bargain. But $8 it is.
00:01:31.333 --> 00:01:34.007
Oh, you can cut that down a bit, Jake.
I ain't interested.
00:01:34.733 --> 00:01:35.867
What?
00:01:35.001 --> 00:01:37.867
Well, I just...
00:01:37.001 --> 00:01:41.733
Well, nothing to get riled about.
I just ain't interested.
00:01:41.767 --> 00:01:44.233
You dumb shit. You're
turning this down?
00:01:44.267 --> 00:01:45.967
Yeah, I am.
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.733
God almighty. He's saving it
for his wedding day, I'll bet.
