$50. $100.
:17:05
$200.
:17:08
$300.
:17:09
- That's it, ain't it, Curt?
- Yeah, that's it.
:17:14
Let's beat it before the law arrives.
:17:19
Here's for the drinks
and the use of the cantina.
:17:26
- You know something, Curt?
- What?
:17:28
We ain't very smart,
hanging around Tampico waiting for a job.
:17:33
Money's getting shorter every day...
:17:34
and soon we'll be right back
where we were, on the bum again...
:17:37
pushing guys for dimes,
sleeping around in freight cars.
:17:41
That's right. Got any ideas?
:17:44
That old man in the Oso Negro
started me to thinking.
:17:47
What about?
:17:48
Why not try gold-digging for a change?
:17:51
It ain't any riskier
than waiting around here for a break...
:17:53
and this is the country where the nuggets
of gold are crying for you...
:17:57
to take them out of the ground,
make them shine in coins...
:18:01
on the fingers and necks of swell dames.
:18:04
One thing, living in the open is cheaper
than it is here in Tampico.
:18:08
Our money'd last longer.
:18:09
The longer it lasts, the greater our chance
of digging something up would be.
:18:12
We'd have to have equipment, all right.
:18:14
Picks and spades, pans, burros.
Wonder how much it would all cost.
:18:18
- That old man would know.
- Yeah, he could give us some pointers.
:18:22
He's too old to take along.
We'd have to pack him on our backs.
:18:25
You can't tell
about some of those old guys.
:18:27
It's surprising sometimes
how tough they are.
:18:30
I don't know what gold looks like
in the ground.
:18:32
I've only seen it in jewelry store windows
and people's mouths.
:18:36
You know anything about prospecting?
:18:38
Not much when you come right down to it.
:18:40
We might have real use
for an experienced guy like that old-timer.
:18:43
Let's go hunt him up right away.
:18:47
Will I go? What a question.
Of course I'll go.
:18:50
Any time, any day,
I was waiting for somebody to ask me.
:18:52
Out for gold? I'm always at your service.
:18:55
I got $300 ready cash in the bank.
$200 of it all set to invest.
:18:58
Last money I got.
When it's gone, I'm finished.
