1916
01:36:11,125 --> 01:36:13,707
- [ENGINE STARTS]
- I'm a finder. A getter.
1917
01:36:13,708 --> 01:36:15,999
A wildcatter, investor, speculator.
1918
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:18,332
Businessman of free enterprise
1919
01:36:18,333 --> 01:36:21,708
and soon to be rich
as King Midas himself.
1920
01:36:23,583 --> 01:36:25,208
True as a razor that is.
1921
01:36:37,250 --> 01:36:38,500
True as a razor.
1922
01:36:49,125 --> 01:36:51,874
OLDER SARAH:
I never saw Bert again.
1923
01:36:51,875 --> 01:36:53,957
Years later,
I came to understand
1924
01:36:53,958 --> 01:36:57,040
his treasure wasn't oil,
gold, or silver,
1925
01:36:57,041 --> 01:36:59,125
or anything hiding
in Mother Earth.
1926
01:37:00,375 --> 01:37:02,374
It was prospects,
1927
01:37:02,375 --> 01:37:03,749
the call,
1928
01:37:03,750 --> 01:37:06,875
the adventure
just beyond the horizon.
1929
01:37:09,458 --> 01:37:11,874
I did meet other folks.
1930
01:37:11,875 --> 01:37:13,207
John D. Rockefeller,
1931
01:37:13,208 --> 01:37:14,790
the richest man in the world,
1932
01:37:14,791 --> 01:37:17,624
came to town
and we cut a deal.
1933
01:37:17,625 --> 01:37:19,457
I was a natural-born
negotiator,
1934
01:37:19,458 --> 01:37:21,790
or so he told me.
1935
01:37:21,791 --> 01:37:24,374
Mr. Rockefeller and his
Standard Oil Company
1936
01:37:24,375 --> 01:37:26,749
paid $36 million
1937
01:37:26,750 --> 01:37:28,707
for the rights to my land
1938
01:37:28,708 --> 01:37:30,165
and surrounding lots
1939
01:37:30,166 --> 01:37:33,207
known as
the Cushing-Drumright pool,
1940
01:37:33,208 --> 01:37:36,791
and I got 12.5% royalty.
1941
01:37:37,666 --> 01:37:39,040
I moved to Kansas City
1942
01:37:39,041 --> 01:37:40,707
and hosted cultural events
1943
01:37:40,708 --> 01:37:43,332
where Duke Ellington
and Count Basie performed,
1944
01:37:43,333 --> 01:37:45,957
and the great boxer
Jack Johnson
1945
01:37:45,958 --> 01:37:47,541
put on exhibitions.
1946
01:37:50,833 --> 01:37:53,249
But the first thing
I did with my money
1947
01:37:53,250 --> 01:37:54,833
when I was 11 years old...
1948
01:37:56,500 --> 01:37:59,083
was buy the Busy Bee Cafe,
1949
01:37:59,958 --> 01:38:02,791
and open it to everyone.
1950
01:38:06,250 --> 01:38:08,290
As my mama said,
1951
01:38:08,291 --> 01:38:10,874
"God gave you gifts,
1952
01:38:10,875 --> 01:38:13,833
"the only sin
is not to use 'em."
1953
01:38:24,083 --> 01:38:26,541
