Hud Bannon:
[about selling oil leases for his land]
My daddy thinks oil is something you stick in your salad dressing. Homer Bannon:
If there's oil down there, you can get it sucked up after I'm under there with it. There'll be no holes punched in this land while I'm here. They ain't gonna come in and grade no roads so the wind can blow me away. What's oil to me? What can I do with a bunch of oil wells? I can't ride out every day and prowl amongst 'em like I can my cattle. I can't breed 'em or tend 'em or rope 'em or chase 'em or nothing. I can't feel a smidgen of pride in 'em 'cause they ain't none of my doing. Hud Bannon:
There's money in it. Homer Bannon:
I don't want that kind of money. I want mine to come from something that keeps a man doing for himself
