with combat fatigue
if you don't give them
some rest.
Mr. Martin.
Well, what're you doing around
l am a peaceful man, Mr.
Martin. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is Mr. Parker
from the Department
of Wildlife and Fisheries.
We just got in
from the state capitol.
This, Mr. Martin, is a
cease-and-desist injunction
against the dynamiting you've
lt supersedes
any permits you have.
l see.
You know,
fish and shrimp
are among Louisiana's
chief natural resources.
We plan to launch
a thorough investigation
to determine if any damage has
been caused by your dynamiting.
Of course, that'll
take about two months.
You're a little late.
How're we late?
l finished dynamiting
at 1:
00 this morning.We've picked out
a drilling site.
So, in the future,
l hope you'll give us the
same conscientious protection.
Because, as l recall,
oil is also one of this
state's great natural resources.
Hmm?
There you are.
Hey, Steve!
Gambi, there's your crew.
Hey, Gambi,
what do we do first?
Bail out the gulf
so we can get our rig up?
No, no, ain't you heard?
They're using a submarine.
Any likely dames
in this burg,
or shall we send home
for our own?
You mugs.
Well, Mac, hello.
Gambi,
glad to see you.
What will happen
to us now?
Progress is not
without faults, my friend.
Hey, Mac!
Well, l wasn't expecting you.
Kind of rough down here
for an office man, isn't it?
You wouldn't think so if you had
to face that board every morning.
They tell me you and l are
ruining the company. Are we?
Don't you believe it. l've
got something to show you.
l got something to show...
All right, get them
started on that pipe, Gambi.
All right, boys.
You asked for work, and believe
me, you came to the right place.
Take them down
to the shack, Bob,
and let them
drop their gear.
Hey, we're with you, Gambi!
You're sure getting your
money's worth out of that one.
He's driven the seismograph
crew day and night,
and here we go again.
Be honest with me, Gambi.
Do you think we can do it
with less than 60 days to go?
Oh, l'm not gonna
pull out on him.
l'll stick as long as
there's a chance.
Well, he's fighting a lot
of things in this town.
lf there aren't
any more delays
and if he gets a few
good breaks for a change,
and if he doesn't
kill himself,
along with a few of the
rest of us, he might make it.
Come on, Gambi!
Quit stalling!
See what l mean?
We got ourselves a location.
Here, l'll show you
what we're gonna do.
What do you mean,
slim chance?
Making it's right on the last
page of this schedule of ours
right there
in black and white.
Now, look, we're gonna start
out with two 12-hour shifts.
Now here's the...
Hey, wait a minute there!
Don't run away.
l'll be right down.
Gambi, come on, step it up!
Step it up!
Who do you think
you're talking to?
l've been working
my heart and soul out all day.
MacDONALD:
l'm proud of it, Steve.
You, Gambi, the whole crew
have done a whale of a job.
This is one time
l'm gonna enjoy
walking into
a board meeting.
This time
they'll listen to me.
Seems like we ought to
bust a bottle over her bow
or something like that.
Somebody ought to
break one over your head.
All you've accomplished
is the impossible.
Don't you think
we deserve a celebration?
Now you listen to me.
Way down below here, maybe 8,000
feet, there might be some oil.
We got 26 days to find out.
There's a drilling crew waiting
at the dock. You go get them.
l'll celebrate
by watching them work.
Why don't you let down
for a few hours?
All right, now, you know
where the pay office is,
but just before you resign,
you get somebody else
to bring that crew out, huh?
l'm not too far from
resigning at that, pal.
Come on, Mac.
You coming in?
You're not losing a friend, are you?
Who, Gambi?
when he stops beefing.
Have a good trip.
So long, Steve.
Here, Gambi.
A hurricane warning.
Just came in.
A hurricane?
Why, that's the greatest news
l've had in two months.
Tie her up, boys.
A big wind's on the way.
Take the night off.
You're not going out
for Steve?
Look, if it took
an act of God
to get a night off
on this job,
l'm not gonna
mess around with it.
Well, but will
he be all right?
Why sure. Besides, do you
think he'd pass up a chance
to ride out a blow
on that baby of his?
You couldn't drag him
off with a winch.
Come on, boys!
With an early start,
we'll out-howl
that hurricane!
Hey, Louis!
Yeah?
l'll have whiskey.
How does the sky look?
We'll have the wind
by midnight.
Did you find Francesca?
She wasn't at home
or on the boat.
What about Dominique?
Doesn't he know where she is?
l didn't have to ask. l
know where she is all right.
Teche, this year
l wish we have the
biggest wind in the world.
Ah, don't say that!
Big enough
to blow those oil men
boats right out of here.
Louis!
Why don't you drown yourself
out in the gulf?
lt would be cheaper.
Hey, bartender, bring us
the tallest beer you got!
Phillipe, wait.
He's making
Baby, l'll get you a drink.
What do you drink?
Johnny, look out!
Let me through!
Antoine! Antoine! Antoine!
l'm ruined. Antoine!
Antoine, wake up,
l'm being wrecked.
Come on,
act like a sheriff.
Don't you hear the noise?
Would you let me
to be wrecked forever?
What's going on?
What's going on?
Don't you hear?
Those oil men downstairs
Come on, get down there
and stop them. Come on.
Hey, wait, wait! Your badge.
How can you be sheriff
without your badge?
Hey, knock it off!
Here comes the sheriff!
Now,
l think we've had just about
enough trouble from you oil people.
We came in here for a drink
and a little relaxation.
ls there any law
against that?
OlL MAN:
Your peoplestarted it, not ours.
We didn't ever have this kind
l'm holding you responsible
for all this here destruction,
and l'm going to
keep you in jail
until my cousin, here,
gets his money.
You mean you're gonna
arrest us for this?
Yes, l am.
Now get marching
out of here.
You can't do this,
Antoine.
They didn't start it.
Phillipe did.
Keep out of it,
baby.
He said get marching
out of here.
He's losing his patience.
Well, what's the matter?
You guys act as though you'd
never been in jail before.
Let's go.
Come on, let's go!
You don't win all the time,
huh? Foreigner!
Francesca...
Get away from me.
l never want to
see you again.
l hate you,
and all the rest of you.
That's all right,
Phillipe.
and if she does she won't
let you drink with me anymore.
Hey, Louis! On the cuff.
NEWSCASTER..
And the entire coastline
from Galveston to Mobile
has been alerted.
All shipping has been advised
to avoid the area,
