The Long Summer of George Adams (1982 TV Movie)

Juanin Clay: Ann Sharp

Quotes 

• Ann Sharp : What exactly do you do?

  George Adams : Exactly? Well, I'm a steam fitter, and a swamper, and a pumper, and a air-monkey, and a car toad, and a cinder cruncher, and a diamond cracker.¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Oh, I'm a wiper and a mechanic. And then, just to keep myself busy, I'm the night watchman for the town here.

• Ann Sharp : There's a peculiar fragrance in the air around here, isn't there?

  George Adams : Yeah, well it's not me, lady. No, it's the Summers produce house over there. They raise chickens. Sometimes the live ones smell a little worse than the dead ones.

• George Adams : Miss Sharp's here to do a story on the typical Oklahoma town with an empty water tower.

  Ann Sharp : It's symbolic, I think. You know, the locomotive going the way of your ancient tower.

  Ernie : You know, I couldn't agree with ya more. I'm Ernie Lankford.

• Ann Sharp : A friend?

  George Adams : No, that's uh one of the Summers boys. He belongs with those dead chickens.

  George Adams : [George shouts to Olin who's approaching]  We's just talkin' about you, Olin. Seems we need somebody with a little more brawn than brains to climb up the tower there, for the nice lady.

  Olin Summers : Heh. I knowed I was needed.
