Plot: Corporate salesman Steve Butler (Damon) arrives in a rural town with his sales partner, Sue Thomason (McDormand). With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company's offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (Krasinski) who counters Steve both personally and professionally.

Steve Butler: I don't know what to say anymore. But where we are now, where we're headed! We might be betting more than we think. Everything that we have is on the table now. And that's just not ours to lose.

Alice: Let me guess: 40, married, marketing, two kids.::Steve Butler: 38, stripper/waitress,but born to be a singer.::Alice: Fuck you, I'm a teacher!::Steve Butler: No, I was talking about me. You wanna see a dance? It's 100 bucks.

Sue Thomason: I no longer sing in public.::Rob: What? I mean, what's the point of having good hair if you don't sing in public.

Dustin Noble: We're not fighting for land, Steve, we're fighting for people.

Frank Yates: I guess I'm lucky - lucky to be old enough to have a shot at dying with my dignity.

[last lines]::Steve Butler: You the owner of this place?

Frank Yates: We have nothing left to sell and we can't afford to buy anything. You came here to help us. Offer us money... All we had to do to get it was be willing to scorch the earth under our feet.

Quotes:

Mama: Tears are God's way of paying you back for what He's taken.

Mama: If war produces one thing, it's many cemeteries. And in cemeteries, there are no enemies.

Le Ly: [leading her children through the panicking crowds] Don't separate!

Papa: Right is only the goodness you carry in your heart...wrong is all that comes between you and the love.

Steve Butler: [motioning the helicopter] Get the fuck outta here!

Soldier: We are the soldiers of liberation!

Steve Butler: [showing Le Ly some photographs] This is Mom's eighth dog. She has the eight ugliest dogs in the United States! [he and Le Ly laugh]

Steve Butler: [notices a little photograph on table] Is this your little brother?::Le Ly: What?::Steve Butler: Is this handsome little boy your relative?::Le Ly: My son.::Steve Butler: Ah, of course he is! [laughs] He looks a lot like you. A lot of spirit around the eyes.

Le Ly: I am insulted at the insolence of men. They don't respect women. I cannot believe such men have known a mother's love.::Buddhist Monk: If I show you a tiny baby killed by a bayonet and say it is his karma, we may cry for the baby, for the baby's karma and the bad karma of the soldier who killed it. But we must never use our emotion to deny the wheel of incarnation that caused the act. It is as natural as the movement of the sun and the moon.::Le Ly: Master, how can I tell him we must be friends and soul mates without being husband and wife?::Buddhist Monk: He has created much soul debt for himself. But if you fail to give him the opportunity to redeem himself, you will only increase your own soul debt. The man hate that blinds you will blind any man you find in a future life. If you turn Steve away, you will be rejecting your own redemption. Child, you have forgiven the man who raped you, destroyed your country, harmed your family. And this is how it should be. Your karma is mixed with Steve, to Tommy and Alan. The future, the past are all the same. If you divorce, you will only have to come back again and work it out again. The path to Nirvana is never being safe, but tricky and steep. And if you walk only on sunny days you'll never reach your destination. Choose well my peach blossom. [Recites an Asian proverb, then translates in English] A child without a father is like a house without a roof.

Le Ly: You still here?::Steve Butler: You said I could rest.
