Thunder Bay Page #9

Why don't

you and l leave, Johnny?

We could stop it

if we did, Steve.

Now, don't worry

about it.

You just stay right here.

Stay here.

Max.

Call the men on the barge.

Get them up here!

Johnny, get up

this ramp here.

Be sure the men

watch both ladders.

Right.

Whatever happens, keep

drilling. Keep drilling, Johnny.

Okay.

l'll go down,

and try to talk to them.

Come on, boys. Hurry up!

Get up on the platform.

All right.

Take up the ramp.

Come on. Come on.

All right.

Come up with this one.

Get off the barge, Rigaud.

This is private property.

We're prepared

to defend it.

Put Francesca off

and we'll go.

lf you keep her,

we'll tear this platform

apart to get her back!

She's here to stay

and so are we.

l thought you were

a peaceful man, Dominique.

l want my daughter.

Your daughter's

safe and sound right here

where she belongs

with her husband.

There'll be no marriage.

There's been

a marriage.

lt's a good marriage

and a happy one.

We came for Francesca.

Now, l know

you've had hard times,

but we won't hurt you.

We never will.

You and l ought to

be friends, Dominique.

We have the same

kind of a job.

You look for one thing

here in the Gulf.

l'm looking

for something else.

That's the only difference.

That's the only difference.

All right, now. You may put

me out of business, all of you.

But that isn't important.

The important thing is that

there's oil under this gulf,

and we need it.

Everybody needs it.

You need it.

Without oil, this country

of ours would stop!

And start to die.

And you'd die.

Now, it doesn't make any

difference what you do to me.

Dominique, you can't

stop progress.

Nobody can.

GAMBl:
Just keep on drilling.

You heard what Steve said.

Just keep her going.

Why, there's going to be

hundreds of...

There's gonna be

hundreds of rigs,

just like this,

all over the Gulf.

Pull up that kelly,

she's gonna blow!

This is gonna be the richest

oilfield in the world!

There she blows!

There she blows!

There she is!

Hey, Steve!

Get a load of this!

There she is!

lt's a good thing this town

has one fisherman with brains.

Teche Bossier will teach you

how to catch the Golden Shrimp.

You come out with me tonight,

l'll show you something.

There are thousands,

millions, enough for all of us.

But it took Teche Bossier

to find them.

Francesca.

Father.

l'll do my best

to make her happy.

So you found your oil

at the bottom of the ocean.

l hope we've found

friends, too, Dominique.

Hey, Moneybags.

You better hurry.

Stella left.

She's waiting for the bus.

l told her

l didn't want to marry her

so she's on her way

to New Orleans.

My truck is over there.

Here is the key.

You better hurry up

before l change my mind.

Do you have any

particular place to go

or are you open

to suggestions?

l don't have any place to go.

Yes, you have.

l promise it'll be

better this time, too.

Come on.
