- What are you reading?
- I don't know enough about agriculture.
- I wouldn't worry about it, agriculture isn't really your field.
- Yeah, well, agriculture is responsible for one in five American jobs, so
it is a little bit my field.
- You know... [gets up]
- 15 percent of the world's cotton, 25 percent of the world's beef, and 50
percent of the world's soybeans are grown in my field; farmers and ranchers
pay taxes in my field, their kids go to school in my field, they go to jail
in my field. From time to time they go to war in my field.
- Jed...
- So when I say 'it's not my field,' I'm not saying something, I'm trying to
learn so I can.
- Why won't you talk to me?
- Why aren't you with me?
- How do you know I'm not?
- You're not.
- You're pissed at me?
- I'm trying to read here.
- You're pissed at me! I don't believe it! I don't believe you!
- Abbey...
- I don't believe you. You go from 'I've got a lot to say' to 'I can't
say it right now because I've got so much to say' to 'I gotta read, I've
got agriculture' and 'you're not with me and go to hell'
- Look...
- Now that's an extraordinary evolution!
- [rolls his eyes] Can I go a week without explaining myself?
- You can go as long as you want without explaining yourself. Read your
book.
- Sit down, we'll talk about it right now.
- I'm not in the mood, jackass. [turns away]
- [sarcastically] Isn't there any way I could change your mind, 'cause I
really had my heart set on it.
- Go to hell. [leaves]
