Of course.

Good-Bye.

- And who are they? | - Those are the workers.

- The workers? | - Yep.

What do they do | when they're not working?

Well, there's lots of work. | We own 10,000 acres.

Biggest potato farm | on the islands.

Ten-Thousand acres of potatoes?

Most of it's open country. | Potatoes haven't been | doing too well.

Ten-Thousand acres, huh?

That's a good-Sized pea | patch, even where i come from.

- Where's that? | - Texas.

There you can ride for a month in | any direction and never touch a fence.

- Must be beautiful. | - Oh, it is.

Costain, do you think you | could ever like it here?

Me? No, no.

No, this fruit bowl | ain't for me.

Some people might like | it just fine, though.

I suppose you're going | back to texas, huh?

You bet.

- You got a wife there? | - Haven't met the woman | that could afford me.

- Then you never | did have one. | - Nope.

I had small pox once though. | Amounts to about the same thing.

Yeah.

I guess you'd never | want to settle down | and live with someone,

- No matter how nice she was, huh? | - You got that right.

But you can't have kids | if you ain't married.

Yeah, ain't that a mercy?

What are you going to | do when you get old?

Die, i guess.

No, i mean before that. Who'll take | care of you if you don't have a son?

I'll say one thing | for you.

You get a notion, you | sure hang on to it, burton.

Booton!

Oh, yeah.

- What's that? | - Come on!

What's going on?

- Untranslated subtitle -

Oh, no. | Those cattle again.

Go on! Get out!

Out of the way! | Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Costain!

Hey!

Out of the way! | Out of the way!

Costain, come on!

Hija! Hija! | Hija!

Hija! Hija! Move!

Costain! Costain!

Turn around, son! | Face him!

Don't move! Freeze!

All right, boy. | Run for the house.

Ya! Get out of here!

You should've seen | that critter, mama. | I was really scared.

And then he kept twisting that | bull's head 'til it fell over.

And then he let it go, | and it ran off.

That must've been | quite a sight.

So, you know how to tame them?

It's not a matter | of taming them, ma'am,

It's just a matter | of handling 'em.

You could sure handle 'em. Just like you | handled that bull. Pow! Right, Costain?

Booton! | Mr. Costain.

Mr. Costain, you could probably make those | old cattle do whatever you took a mind to.

I don't know about that. | It doesn't make much difference.

No point in talkin' about it. | You're in the potato business.

Were in the potato business. | Prices have dropped off | terribly.

Well, it seem to me | like you're...

Struggling | your way past a dollar, | just to grub after a dime.

You can get $20 a head for | them cattle in california.

But what you do | is your business.

Me? I'm on my way | to texas.

As a matter of fact, mrs. Macavoy,

Did you find anything in the way of | a ship for me when you were in town?

Oh, no. I think it's | the wrong time of year.

- But mama-- | - For ships.

- I mean-- | - Well, i'll just | have to make do.

I won't be imposin' | on you folks.

I'll head into town | tomorrow and wait.

As long as you're going to wait, | you might as well wait here.

Beg pardon, ma'am.

And work-- Help out. | I could pay you.

A little, not much.

Room and board too. | Right, mama?

- I don't know. | - Just for a while.

Until you earn so money. You'll | need some money, mr. Costain.

And, who knows?

With your help, we might | turn this sorry potato farm...

Into the first and only | wild cattle ranch in hawaii.

You, uh--

You sure you're not | from texas, ms. Macavoy?

You will stay, | won't you?

Won't you, Costain?

Well, i'll hit her a lick | and see what happens.

But that's all i'll promise.

- Aloha. | - Aloha, miss maka.

I want to talk to you this morning...

About some changes that are going | to be made on the farm today.

Mr. Costain is a | cattleman from texas.

And he knows how to handle the | animals as you all saw yesterday.

Yeah.

We have not been doing | well with our potatoes.

Mr. Costain feel we | would do better...

- If we caught the animals and sold them. | - Caught the animals?

Oh, no, wait! | Wait, wait!

You mustn't be frightened. | Mr. Costain assures me...

That the animals can be handled, | and he is going to teach us how.

Aren't you, mr. Costain?

All right, now. | This here animal is a horse.

Now you're all gonna have one of these | to chase them brush doggies out there.

Brush doggies. | That's cattle.

You need one of these | to keep up with cattle.

There's only two things you | gotta know about a horse:

How to get on and how to stay on.

This is your saddle, where | you're gonna sit when you ride.

You just sit in there like | a rocking chair, you savvy?

Just walk up here and put | your foot in the stirrup.

That's the stirrup. That's | right there. See it?

Put your foot in the stirrup | and swing right up. See?

To! Bravo majstore! | Svaka ast!

Good. Now who's going | to be the first to try it?

Well, there's one thing you can't | learn to do, is ride without getting on.

- Now come on! | - Go, go, go!

Come on.

All right, now. | You all watch him.

To! Bravo majstore!

Turn around. | Go on, turn around.

Now you try it.

Yes, it's true. | They do like their fun.

Like it? They'd rather | giggle than laugh.

They'd rather laugh than eat. | They're like a bunch | of kids out there.

A school girl'd be more sober, ma'am.

Well now, after they | get to know you better,

And understand what you're | trying to teach them--

Oh, and another thing. | You say you can't buy | any horses.

Now, how do you expect | me to work cattle...

With one | old wall-Eyed refugee | from a glue factory?

- Well, maybe-- | - If you could get 'em,

You don't have any bridles, | saddles, blankets.

You don't have | any spurs, boots.

Ma'am, they don't even have | anything decent to wear.

Well, if we need horses...

Perhaps i can get some.

I-I don't know how.

Yes, i do.

I can get horses, | and i will.

And their clothes may not suit you,

But they find them very comfortable.

Yes, ma'am, comfortable. | I think that's the right | word for it.

Besides, anything they need, | they can make here.

There isn't | a single thing needed | that we can't make right here.

Except for a--

A little determination | and leadership...

From a man | who has the know-How.

And that is a fact, mr. Costain.

When are you going to stop | calling me mr. Costain, ma'am?

When you stop calling me | ma'am, mr. Costain.

It's just a formality, henrietta.

I don't think you should | even bother to sign it.

I will not take another loan from | you without giving proper security.

This is a mortgage for | all of your property.

It's disproportionate, | it's not necessary.

Cal, i owe you a great deal. | Now i need more money.

And this is the only | way i'll take it.

Business is business.

- Even between us? | - Especially between us.

All right.

- Thank you very much. And good night, Cal. | - Good night, henrietta.

Another favor | for the lady?
