Wait a minute, fellas.

SHARECROPPER 1

But dang it, Woody. I ve been waiting for a break like this all my life.

WOODY

Well, you ve got your break now,  all of you. This piece of yellow paper. It s credit! You can turn it into tractors

LUCY

 and turn the tractors into crops

WOODY

 and turn the crops into money faster than you can dig gold out of the ground!

FINIAN

(totally recovered, jumps up)
That s the ticket, Woody. That s the ticket.

LUCY

You ll have everything you ve ever hoped for.
