At Any Price Page #2

Are you asking for free samples?

Sir, I never ask anything from a man

other than respect, trust and loyalty.

Jim. Jim. Thank you so much

for letting me use your name.

No. My pleasure. What you said about

glyphosate locking up nutrients

like manganese and iron

struck a chord.

We'll spread the word.

Count on it.

Henry.

Jim.

Everything good?

Hunky-dory.

I can see that you're all tied up.

We'll talk later. Um...

Yes.

Just remember,

I am number one in seven counties,

including Boone, Garrison,

Decatur...

Dad's got Decatur.

Brad.

What are you talking about?

Sorry, Henry.

There's no apologies needed. I know

Brad's kidding about Decatur, right?

No. Dad took it last week.

We're number one

in 24 counties now.

"Took" is a strong word.

- You know, if this is a bad time?

- No. Not at all, Roger.

Just a meeting of the minds, a couple of

Liberty men. That's all. Right, Henry?

So, what customer did you take?

Just some people.

Some people?

Wanted to try a new tactic

on their farms, that's all.

I'm sure they'll be back with you next year.

Oh.

If you'll excuse me, I wanted

to introduce Roger to the boys here.

My oldest, Brad. You met him.

Good to see you again.

- My goodness, it's been years.

- My second son, Brett.

How are you? Pleasure.

Look at you.

What the hell are you acting like some

cyborg assassin for all of a sudden?

I'm making some changes.

Guns are for thugs, not farmers.

Oh!

F***ing A! Jesus Christ!

Crap! Whore!

Whorey whore!

Holy sh*t! A Vortech supercharger!

You're gonna fly with this thing!

Oh, my God!

- You are insane!

- Oh, my God!

You are f***ing insane!

Look. I got you an air freshener.

Let's go.

Ow! Hoo-hoo!

You're weren't kidding

when you said you finish first.

I should have gotten you

out of my system a long time ago.

What am I gonna tell Dad?

About what?

About Decatur, the county.

It's gone. Harvested away.

Jim Johnson, that shark, he

passes half his sales commissions

under the table in cash

to bribe my customers.

Sounds like the mafia.

Ugh.

Dad gave me everything.

Granddad before him.

I can't let them down.

In here, somebody

who wants to see you.

Hey, Dad.

George Naylor's here.

Hey, Cliff. It's been a while.

Yeah.

You know it's Customer Appreciation

Day and not the Fourth of July?

It's called marketing, Dad.

And you're the first invitee, George.

End of summer. Be there.

You lose any more counties, there

won't be any customers to appreciate.

We got it covered.

What I'll do, I'm gonna load you

up with a tote of Liberty 780R seeds,

see how that does.

Knock-knock. I brought

barbecue sands and some pop.

From Tater's?

You betcha. No time to make them.

And I know you like extra bacon,

so I got an extra side for you.

Now you're talking. Slaw in there?

Yeah. Slaw.

There's that.

Oh, yeah.

What is it, honey?

"Dear Morn and Dad:

Greetings from Mount Aconcagua

in the Andes, ahem,

tallest mountain in South America.

Guess what. I'm going to climb it.

The people here are so friendly.

Hope this postcard finds you in time.

Say hi to Dean. Love, Grant."

It looks romantic.

That's a bunch of hogwash.

That kid's so off the grid

he doesn't even bother to call.

Henry, make yourself useful,

take me out of here.

I think I gotta get going too.

Well, hold on there now, George.

We haven't even had

a chance to talk turkey

or barbecue, as it were. Heh, heh. I

mean, am I losing a customer here?

Of course not, Henry.

Then sit down, take a load off.

Oh, cut the bull. First Decatur

and now Grant. You lost him, Henry.

You never should have let him go.

Yo, yo, yo!

Come on. Come here.

No. No, I can't drive.

Yes, you can. Yes, you can.

No.

Aah!

There you go. Straighten out. Whoo!

I like the sound your car makes

with its new part.

Don't point that at people.

It's dangerous.

Promise not to do what you did

at the auto shop again.

Yeah.

Okay.

Because I kind of really

like you.

Oh, congratulations.

You must be proud.

Thanks. What for?

Your son's a real-life hero.

"Grant Whipple to climb

tallest mountain in Americas."

Jeez.

The whole county

already knows.

Relax, Henry.

You're gonna sprain something.

Why are my own children

sabotaging me?

Does Grant not care one iota

about the 200 acres I got him?

And Dean?

Oh, he's a lost cause.

Why does he consistently

disrespect me?

Every man wants something

to call his own.

What's wrong with the farm?

That's yours.

No. It's the family's.

Same difference.

Maybe not to Dean.

Breathe out.

Dean.

Hey! Dean Whipple!

Do you mind

taking that off for a minute?

Thank you.

So my eyes have been opened.

You know what I saw

when I looked around?

Corn?

No. I saw you.

I now know that every man

wants something to call his own.

And with that in mind,

I'm gonna give you the 200 acres

we got from the Pritchards.

It'll be your own stake

in the family farm.

One of these days,

your kids'll farm that land.

Thought you got that for Grant.

Well, Grant is out getting

God knows what kind of STDs

from Argentinean girls.

You're here.

I'm not staying here, Dad.

I'm racing cars.

Racing cars is a great hobby.

You don't sponsor me.

You sponsor Arthur Link.

The Links have been buying

seeds from me for 1O years.

You can't make money racing.

You can make money.

Racing ARCA.

Nick Elliott's recruiter

is coming to my next race.

What?

Nick Elliott's coming to see you?

Yeah. Me.

When they hand out

that big check,

guess whose name

is gonna be on it. Mine.

You won't make it in the big leagues.

Just take the land. It's in your blood.

Sooner you understand, the better.

I can't hear you.

Gotta get this grain

to the elevator before they close.

Honey, I'm paying a visit

to the Decatur traitors.

Oh, Henry.

Why don't you ask Cadence

to join you?

Because she's a feral child.

She's a good kid and Dean likes her.

Besides,

she could use a father figure.

Hm.

Do your parents care that

you lounge around here all day?

Mom makes meth in Jefferson,

my dad will be out

in 10 to 20. They're busy.

Well, okay.

Do you wanna come

sell seeds with me?

Why don't you ask Dean?

I'm not asking Dean.

I'm offering you an opportunity

to do something worthwhile.

So put some clothes on, for God's

sakes, and I will see you in the car.

This business is teeming

with life lessons

for the next generation of Iowa,

Cadence.

First lesson, loyalty.

I have customers

in the seed business

been with me since Dad was in charge.

And you know why?

Because they're loyal.

And I listen.

Listening is another

great life lesson, Cadence.

I listen to what my customers

have to say

and in the end,

we'll find a solution

for their next planting season.

And this paves the road to success.

And who doesn't wanna

be successful?

So you have three L's:

Loyalty, listening, equals solution.

It's the key to happiness.

So, what am I supposed

to do today?

Your job is to sit back and learn.
