Terrell Lee Lusk:
[Toying with the old tin hard hat that belonged to his maternal grandfather]
So Grandpa Terrell used to wear this out in the oil fields, huh?
Mr. Lusk:
Yeah. Didn't help him.
Terrell Lee Lusk:
Huh?
Mr. Lusk:
[Tersely]
Rig chain. Damn near cut him in half... Didn't put a scratch on that hard hat, though, did it?
Terrell Lee Lusk:
People say he was a real character.
Mr. Lusk:
He was. He was one of the original wildcatters. I remember once, he... walked us into a virgin field. Put a handful of dirt in his mouth, chewed on it, said "drill here." Sure enough, we brought in a gusher.
Terrell Lee Lusk:
Really?
Mr. Lusk:
Honest to God. Then I was, uh, goin' through some of his papers a few years back. Came across a geological survey on that field dated six months earlier.
[They both chuckle]
Mr. Lusk:
Oh, I sure got a kick out of that old man. I'd have done anything for him.
Terrell Lee Lusk:
Even marry mama?
Mr. Lusk:
Good lord, son, don't even think thoughts like that! Get ya' both into a world of trouble.
