You gotta remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

Gittes: Mulvihill, what are you doin' here?
Mulvihill: They shut my water off. What's it to ya?
Gittes: How'd y'find out a bout it? Y'don't drink it; y'don't take a bath in it; they wrote'cha a letter--but then y'd have to be able to read.
Mulvihill moves in on Gittes doing his best to look intimidating.
Russ Yelburton, Claude Mulvihill, JJ "Jake" Gittes
Gittes: Relax Mulvihill, glad to see ya'. To Yelburton: Y'know Claude Mulvahill here?
Yelburton: Well I hope so, he's working for us.
Gittes: Doing what?
Yelburton: Well, frankly there've been some threats to blow up the city reservoirs.
Gittes: Any particular reason?
Yelburton: Well it's this darn drought; we've had to ration water in the valley and the farmers are desperate--but what can we do? The rest of the city needs drinking water.
Gittes: Well, you're in luck Mr. Yelburton.
Yelburton: How's that?
Gittes: When Mulvihill here was sheriff of Ventura County the rum runners landed hundreds of tons of booze on the beach and never lost a drop; he oughta' be able to hold on to your water for ya'!
