Riverboat1959
Brian Cloud:
[to his hulking bodyguard] You get the drift, Job. There's a prudent river man. Always on guard against hidden dangers in uncharted waters. Forgive me, Captain. How can I convince you of my sincere desire for friendship.
Captain Grey Holden:
Well, getting to the point might help.
Brian Cloud:
Save yourself some trouble, Captain. Leave the Yazoo River to me. I control the boats and shipping up there.
Captain Grey Holden:
Well, am I to take that as a threat, Mr. Cloud?
Brian Cloud:
Oh, good heavens, no! Just advice. You wouldn't want the credit risk involved in handling their cargo.
Captain Grey Holden:
Which is...?
Brian Cloud:
Cotton.
Captain Grey Holden, Bill Blake, Carney Kohler:
[laughing] Cotton? Cotton!
Captain Grey Holden:
Well then I'll tell you, Mr. Cloud, you must run your boats as a hobby if that's the shipping you want to control.
Brian Cloud:
Not shipping, Captain - the planters.
