Sample dialogue
Ernest, Handsome son. The Celestial. We ARE nothing. We’re a speck of dust in the universe - not even that. What’s going to happen to these people. I love them but in the turning of the earth they will go. Their time is over. It’s Destiny. No one has more of a right than me. I’ve been here a long time. Way before the oil came. Now all of a sudden, these people? These hustlers, these vags? It’s gonna go to them? They get it? Not the Osage? Not us?!! They’re taking advantage of our rights. Osage have their oil rights. We have our rights. I own this land. It belongs to us. Ernest, there will not be no lightning strike and it stops happening. It’s going to happen. These headrights got to go to Mollie. Not to the Mother. Not her sister, Reta. Not Bill Smith. Now take back control of your house.
