[Paul Sunday has offered to sell Plainview information]
Why'd you come to me?
Paul Sunday:
You just brought this well in?
Plainview:
That's right.
Paul Sunday:
Yes, so just give me five hundred dollars in cash, right now, and I'll tell you where it is.
Plainview:
I'll tell you what I'll do, son. I'll give you a hundred dollars now and, if it proves to be a promising lease, then give a thousand dollar bonus...
Paul Sunday:
Six hundred dollars.
Plainview:
Just tell me one thing to help me decide. What else have you got up there. What do you grow?
Paul Sunday:
We have a big ranch, but it's mostly rocks. We can plant things; nothing will grow but weeds. What makes you think it's up?
Fletcher Hamilton:
Is there sulfur around, or alkali deposits?
Paul Sunday:
Alkali, nearby. I don't know sulfur.

What do you do?
Fletcher Hamilton:
I work with Mr. Plainview.
Plainview:
Here's five hundred dollars. You tell me something worth hearing, this money's yours.
Paul Sunday:
I come from a town called Little Boston, in Isabella County.
