the Bowlegs oil field... and also to announce the arrival and the unveiling of a statue... to commemorate the Oklahoma Pioneer. And now it is my privilege to ask you... to drink to the health of our guest of honor. My poor words could add nothing... to the sterling achievements of our fellow townswoman... who has risen to eminence in Oklahoma... and finally in the councils of the nation. I therefore call upon the one you are waiting to hear... our new congresswoman, Sabra Cravat. My friends... today I stand before you in a new responsibility. Time has passed for many of us... since we first met in the early days of Osage. Time that mellows our hearts and tells us all the truth. To many others among you... including our distinguished guests from Washington... I appear more or less as a stranger. I want you to know me and mine, as we are... to meet my family, as if you were in my home. First, my youngest, my daughter, Donna... Mrs. Louis Hefner. Hello, everyone. Next, my firstborn... my boy, Cimarron. And now, one who has become a member of our family by marriage... my son's wife, a chief's daughter... a full-blooded Osage Indian... Ruby Big Elk, Mrs. Cimarron Cravat. I greet you in words taught me as a child. May you long travel the path of life... in days that are calm and peaceful. And my grandchildren... Felice and Yancey II. I'm sorry, this afternoon, that I cannot present to you... my husband... but he's out of the city. I know he would be glad to be here to greet you. As for myself... I can only thank you for the office you have conferred upon me. The women of Oklahoma... have helped build a prairie wilderness into the state of today. The holding of public office by a woman is a natural step. I pledge you that I will do my best. That pвtй de foie gras was good, wasn't it? Now, what do you think of women in politics? I give up. You know, I'm curious to see the subject of this pioneer statue. So am I. I hear that the Governor's sending his staff down for the unveiling. Really? We must see it. Congratulations, I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you. - This was worth the trip from Washington. - So nice to see you. The Osage nations, through me, extends congratulations. You're very kind. Thank you. Wonderful, Sabra. I never heard anything like it. - Your dress is so becoming. - You like it? I like your hat, too. Well, I must be going. My feet hurt me. The state bankers will be very pleased to see you in Congress, Mrs. Cravat. Thank you. We're proud of a woman who has done what you have done... alone. I feel as you have always felt. Yancey is just out of town for a little while. Thanks, old friend. Mother, you were sweet about Dad. If you are ready, Sabra, we will start at once. Oh, yes. Yes, I'll be right with you. We leave for Bowlegs immediately, gentlemen. It's a new empire. Quite a pretty place isn't it, Mrs. Cravat? All this up from raw prairie. Overnight. Hello? Field office? Send an ambulance. Quick! Osage, three. Yeah, yeah, that's right. What happened? We've never had a closer call. Gusher came in ahead of time. They were lowering a torpedo of nitroglycerin. Before they could explode it, up came the mud and oil, and the torpedo with it. Narrow escape? We'd all have been blown to bits, everyone around here, too... if it hadn't been for a man who grabbed the torpedo... cushioned it against his body and prevented the explosion. What nerve! - He saved our lives. That's all. - Was he badly hurt? Jammed against a rake. Chest crushed, pretty bad. - Who was he? - I don't know. Just an old drifter who'd been hanging around here since the new field opened. Some of the fellas call him old Yance. Yance. Get back. Give him some room. Get back. Come on. Let me through! Let me through! Sabra. Sabra. Are you all right? Wife and mother. Stainless woman. Hide me. Hide me in your love. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Никто не идеален на английском - текст Винни-Пух на английском - текст Трон на английском - текст Собачья дверца на английском - текст Звёздный инспектор на английском |
