Ernest Burkhart: I do love that money, sir.
William Hale: The Osage. They have the worst land possible. But they outsmarted everybody.
William Hale: [to Ernest] You made a good choice coming back here. The Osage are the finest, wealthiest, and most beautiful people on God’s earth. They outsmarted everybody. They have the say who gets the oil.
