P.S. Incidentally, we hear that gold has been discovered on your property. Congratulations!
I m stakin out my claim!
I m gonna start diggin !
Let s go!
(EVERYONE cheers and ad-libs as they exit.)
(seeing FINIAN is distraught)
Wait a minute, fellas.
(they stop)
Maybe there is gold and maybe again
(looking at FINIAN)
there ain t.
But dang it, Woody. I ve been waiting for a break like this all my life.
Well, you ve got your break now, all of you. This piece of yellow paper. It s credit! You can turn it into tractors
and turn the tractors into crops
and turn the crops into money faster than you can dig gold out of the ground!
(totally recovered, jumps up)
That s the ticket, Woody. That s the ticket.
You ll have everything you ve ever hoped for.
But when do we get all of this?
