:12:02
$10,000, you'd want $25,000.
$25,000, you'd want $50,000.
:12:05
$50,000, $100,000. Like roulette.
:12:07
One more time, you know.
Always one more.
:12:09
It wouldn't be that way with me.
I swear, it wouldn't.
:12:13
I'd take only what I set out to get.
:12:15
Even if there was still $500,000 worth...
:12:18
lying around, waiting to be picked up.
:12:20
I've dug in Alaska
and Canada and Colorado.
:12:22
I was in the British Honduras,
I made my fare back home...
:12:25
and almost enough over
to cure me of the fever I'd caught.
:12:28
Dug in California and Australia.
All over the world practically.
:12:31
Yeah. I know what gold does
to men's souls.
:12:34
You talk as though you struck it rich
sometime or other, pop.
:12:37
How about it?
:12:40
Then what are you doing in here,
a down-and-outer?
:12:42
That's gold. That's what it makes us.
:12:44
Never knew a prospector yet
that died rich.
:12:47
Make one fortune, he's sure to blow it
trying to find another.
:12:50
I'm no exception to the rule.
:12:53
Sure I'm a gnawed old bone now
but don't you guys think the spirit's gone.
:12:57
I'm set to shoulder a pickaxe
if anybody's willing to share expenses.
:13:01
I'd rather go by myself.
It's best to go alone.
:13:03
But you got to have a stomach
for loneliness. Some guys go nutty with it.
:13:07
But going with a partner is dangerous.
Murderers always lurking about.
:13:10
Partners accusing each other
of all sorts of crimes.
:13:15
As long as there's no find,
the noble brotherhood will last.
:13:18
But when the piles of gold begin to grow,
that's when the trouble starts.
:13:23
I wouldn't mind
a little of that kind of trouble.
:13:27
I think I'll go to sleep...
:13:29
and dream about piles of gold...
:13:32
getting bigger and bigger.
:13:41
Do you believe what the old man...
:13:42
who was doing all the talking
at the Oso Negro...
:13:45
said the other night...
:13:46
about gold changing a man's soul
so that he ain't the same kind of a guy...
:13:50
that he was before finding it?
:13:52
Guess that all depends on the man.
:13:54
That's exactly what I say.
:13:57
Gold don't carry any curse with it.
:13:59
It all depends on whether or not
the guy who finds it is the right guy.
