Plainview's dieting advice to Al

When Al suggests that Daniel build the pipeline around the Bandy tract, Plainview says "don't be thick in front of me Al!". Given that Al is overweight, discuss the double-meaning of going around Tehachapi mountains and Daniel's follow-up of going around Al to negotiate the Bandy tract deal. As in, Al is fat, but not as fat as the mountains -- or at least, Daniel makes sure that Al doesn't get too thick first, and goes around Al first. Discuss.
