Do you have a tractor?

Do you have a tractor?

Well, yes, you can call it that.

I will drive the tractor.

Do you know anything about the field?

I said I will drive the tractor.

You have to listen to me.

I'm going to have a

child, one of these days.

You alone?

Not me, my wife, the

one in the car.

And why did not he tell me?

Mary! She's going to have a child.

- I congratulate.

- Thanks thanks.

I'm an undertaker.

When Captain Smith came

to this continent,

What did you do?

Be quiet and complain

about the situation and

of the value of the dollar?

Do not!

They went to work.

To build their houses and

to cultivate the land.

In Mayflower there

was a settler...

a painter, a doctor,

an accountant...

Like us.

If they could do it, we can too.

Help others and

they will help you.

We have the earth and the energy.

And we do not have Indians that.

They will tear off our hair.

They are not obligated to stay.

They can leave when they want.

But if they stay...

they should work

hard to make this...

never die.

I have two bags of

potatoes in my car.

I propose to do with what we have

a common fund.

Money, food, everything.

I give three chickens.

I a gold coin of 20 dollars.

Me, two sacks of flour.

I give my goat.

Me, three dollars with sixty.

And I can deliver a young girl!

Wonderful, perfect!

Very good. You, the man

with the potatoes,

as it is called?

Hannibal, George

Washington Hannibal.

Very well, you will be

the commission sergeant.

With pleasure.

Who had that gold coin?

It's me.

You will be the treasurer.

Agree.

Mr. President, friends...

What government are we going to have?

Well, what the majority decides.

Friends, I propose

establish a sacred covenant

and create an immortal democracy.

We do not need speeches here!

We need a cooperative!

We must control everything,

even the benefits.

Wait a moment. Let me talk.

I do not know what all those

words they speak of mean.

I only know that we have a lot of work

and we need a boss.

And John Sims is the right guy!

A hurray for our boss! Hip-Hip!

- Hurrah!

- Hurrah!

- Hurrah!

- Hurrah!

Ok guys, hands on!

We start here.

Ahead!

Let's do it.

- Come on!

- Yeah come on!

Good friends.

Let's plow a little.

- Come on!

- Let's go!

Come on guys!

Hey, carpenter...

Yes?

I am a builder.

I'll make the fireplace for you

if you make the frame for me.

Agree.

It's too much for me.

Wood is not my fort.

How's that violin going?

It is going well. And my shoe?

Very good!

This is my land.

Your land?

I arrived here first...

I took it yesterday.

It's not my problem if you

have not heard before.

Come on, get out.

I do not want, you have no right.

Do not!?

Very good... Now, go away.

Build your house.

It will not bother you again.

Let me know if you're

upset by guys like this.

I've watched you, bandit.

Listen to me.

On this farm, there is no

room for guys like you.

So play fair or go.

Here there will be law and order.

Although we have to throw many.

Cover your nose and behave yourself...

Sell or change whatever.

Open to business.

The oldest and most serious

store in the city.

"I OFFER:
Top quality

material for ironing pants."

"NECESLTO:
Stroller, pins, cigars.

Make your offers."

Good morning, do you want to

take a look at the newspaper?

Of course.

Come on, do not cry,

little boy, do not cry...

You have left the

lamp on all night.

For real?

Good morning, Frank.

Good Morning. Here you have...

Michael...

What happen?

Look.

It seems to work, right?

Clear. Why not?

It makes one feel safe...

Trusted...

As if someone were

watching over you.

John.

No need to worry.

Now we have the earth.

It's... it's like...

a mother...

It is wonderful!

It grows!

Come on!

Chris!

It seems that it will work.

Mr!

We thank you,

for this test of your love

and generosity.

Praise your Name,

for making the land fertile

and our fruitful work.

We appreciate that surveillance test.

With hope and faith.

We trust that you will give us.

Our daily bread.

Yours is the Kingdom, the power

and Glory for ever and ever.

Amen.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Run, dad. It's a boy.

Child! It's a boy!

They have never treated me so well.

You deserve it.

Does the noise bother you?

Are you going to leave the

party because I had the child?

No way.

He is a beautiful boy.

Looks like me.

I hope I can do so

much for you someday.

Take it, grab it.

Take, you too.

"A.COHEN. Ironing pants."

"GO FOR A PURE.

As soon as I can offer it to you."

"JUDICAL ORDER TO

AUCT THE FINCA"

It is not here?

Exactly.

Is not the farm your?

No, it is not.

It's a shame.

Take a look at all this honey.

Probably our last chance.

Chris says that corn,

tall, is more beautiful.

Stems swaying in the wind,

growing...

Yes, he says they are

even taller than me.

John, I never want to leave.

John!

John, the Sheriff has arrived!

C'mon darling.

I have the court order

to put on public auction

the property located

in Center County,

called Mr.Godwin's Farm,

which comprises about 69 hectares.

In the Municipality of Ottaway,

with real estate and equipment,

to satisfy the debt

of $ 4,882.60,

and expenses in favor

of the Central Bank.

Offers are accepted.

Who is going to start the bidding?

I offer a thousand...

Hey! What happen?

You do not want to bid, sir...

Who will start?

Come, start the bidding.

I offer a dollar seventy-five.

What did you say?

One dollar sixty.

What is this joke?

The mortgage is $ 4,000.

And the farm is worth $ 16,000.

I offer $ 1.85.

This is ridiculous!

An offer of $ 1.85

for this farm?

We better go.

Let's move on.

You know the law.

With two offers, the

sale must be closed.

Who told you that?

Is the law. Article 46, Section 3

Check it...

Agree...

All right, they offer $ 1.85,

for this farm.

Who offers more?

The ridiculous offer of $ 1.85

for this wonderful farm.

Let's go friends!

Give something more for this farm!

We decided to offer you the farm

since you are the founder.

I had given up. Thank you.

How did it happen to you?

In Iowa they sold an estate for $ 0.95.

We were annoyed having to pay $ 1.85.

You are completely crazy.

United, we will make this work.

Now let's solve the problem of food.

We'll go to Table Mountain

to look for apples.

I know one who raises pigs.

Maybe he'll give us some faith.

We will pay for it!

Good idea.

My rabbits will be a help.

We will start tomorrow morning.

Ahead.

I saw the light and... Did it bother you?

Absolutely.

What is this?

A band of gangsters?

No. We are workers, farmers.

Where we are?

I've been spinning in the

rain for five hours.

I made a mistake on the road.

My old man got a drunken stupor.

- Seriously?

- It's meaningless in the car.

He will have drowned.

- It's his car?

- Yes.

Can I bring you here to recover?

Of course!

Come on guys, a couple of sturdy guys.

- Voucher.

- Louie.

Where is Louie?

I went to have a drink.

- Come on.
