He decides he wants to get married to his wife-officially and in the church, now that they can pay for it.They sit at home with Kino’s brother Juan and his wife Apolonia Kino talks about what he will do once he becomes a rich man. But Kino and Juana are happily oblivious.Each person sees what the pearl could do for him, and Kino becomes the only man standing in their way. Kino, we are told, becomes everyone’s enemy.Even more depressing, these miserable scrooges are only buying the pearls on behalf of other (richer) folk.This is where all the "agents" sit around and haggle a man into taking the lowest possible prices for his pearls. Then we cut to the pearl-buying offices.Then the doctor realizes Kino was the guy from earlier, and he thinks about Paris and fine dining.Unfortunately, everyone is self-serving: the priest hears about the pearl and thinks about repairs needed for the church, the shopkeepers think about the clothes they could sell to Kino, etc.News about Kino’s pearl travels fast across town.
