They fence sound means a better life for you. Building your money gets your plans off the ground. That's what the envy calls with a money building society and that's the place you need today. For yourself and your kids, for your dreams and your plans we're behind you.

The Money Building Society. I say, archery cards, knit, diet, coke, in case I'll admit that he's smart enough, huh? Okay, let's make diet coke! Yes, I'll admit it! But he's smart, archery! Look, Mr. McPherson.

There isn't anything I can do about it. I'm simply the site construction engineer responsible for building the thing. The government have given you ample warning, and I know well they've paid decent compensation. Compensation? Compensation?

Look, I promised my father I'd come back from Canada when he died and take over this land. Land that's been in our family for five generations, five generations. It's my land now. I'm married here. I'm raising a family here.

And here I'm going to stay. Look, why can't you just build your blasted dam on one of the other valleys? There must be a dozen around here that are suitable. Be reasonable, please. I didn't choose the location.

This is a government decision, not mine. My instructions are to build the dam where they say. You've had plenty of time to protest, many two years, actually. And don't you think I haven't protested? I must have said a hundred letters to them, been to see them four, five, six times, or what's happening?
