Transcript

What the heck, Red? You pushed this fence another 100 yards since yesterday. Why did you come out here 3:00 in the morning? >> Why? >> Why not? Sooner we get this fence done, sooner we get paid. >> Yeah, but why would we want to cut OFF ANOTHER DAY OF WORK? >> BOSS ain't paying us by the day. He's paying us by the finished fence. Now, I figure if we work in two groups of three, we can move even faster. One man measures and digs, the next man places the post, the third buries it, they place the wire, and they move on to the next hole that's already been dug. Like an assembly line. All right? Let's go. >> [music] >> Good game you are. Thank you very much. Oh, yeah. And hello extra here. >> [music] >> Thank you very much. >> Never seen this much money in one place in my life. >> You're in the bellwether, kid.
