Dove
What do you want, Corey?
Corey
Simply keeping you up to date on the latest developments.
Dove
Leon is building berms for the new trees.
Corey
And Sawyer is planting pears. This must be a heavy infestation if he’s resorting to fungal-resistant species. Perhaps we should take this information to the town council.
Dove
The people who need to know what’s happening already know. Stop making it a federal case.
Corey
It’s time to face facts. Your family doesn’t have the money or the manpower to fight this, and if it continues unchecked, it can spread to other farms and wipe out entire crops.
Dove
It’s not going to spread. I’m here learning all I can to find a way to stop it.
Corey
My offer still stands.
Dove
Your offer.
I can only hope my utter disdain makes its way through the ether.
Corey
My father wanted to acquire the orchard and merge our properties before you were even born. Now is the time to make his and my dream come true.
Dove
Your dream?
Corey
It’s no secret. I’ve always wanted you for my wife.
Dove
What about what I want?
Corey
With my resources, you can bring in all the workers you need to save your precious orchard.
