:30:00
Leave him alone.
Can't you see the old man's nuts?
:30:03
Nuts, am I? Let me tell you something,
my fine bedfellows.
:30:06
There's nothing to compare you with.
You're dumber than the dumbest jackass.
:30:10
Look at each other.
:30:11
Did you ever see anything like yourself
for being dumb specimens?
:30:18
You're so dumb...
:30:19
you don't even see the riches
you're treading on with your own feet.
:30:30
Don't expect to find nuggets
of molten gold.
:30:33
It's not that rich.
Here ain't the place to dig.
:30:35
It comes from someplace further up.
Up there.
:30:37
Up there's where we've got to go.
:30:46
- Is that it?
- That's it, all right.
:30:48
Gold, I mean.
:30:49
Sure don't look like I thought it would.
:30:51
- Not much different from sand.
- Yeah. It's just like plain sand.
:30:55
It don't glitter. I thought it would.
:30:56
It will when it's refined by some other guy.
:30:59
All we got to do is mine it
and get it back there.
:31:01
Gold ain't like stones in a riverbed.
It don't cry out to be picked up.
:31:04
You got to know how to recognize it.
:31:06
The finding ain't all. Not by a long shot.
:31:08
Got to know how to tickle her
so she'll come out laughing.
:31:10
Yeah, it's mighty rich. It'll pay good.
:31:12
- How good?
- About 20 ounces to the ton.
:31:15
- That's $20 an ounce.
- How many tons can we handle a week?
:31:18
Depends on how hard we work.
:31:19
We better pitch our camp
down the mountainside.
:31:21
Why, when the digging's here?
:31:23
Anyone comes by, we say we're hunters,
and get away with it maybe.
:31:26
- Wouldn't it be easier to file a claim?
- Easier but not so profitable.
:31:29
An emissary from a big mining company
would be here soon...
:31:32
with a paper in his hand
showing we had no right to be here.
:31:37
How does it feel to be men of property?
:31:44
The tanks'll leak some at first...
:31:45
until the boards begin to swell
and close the seams.
:31:50
I sure had some cockeyed ideas
about prospecting for gold.
:31:54
It was all in the finding, I thought.
:31:57
I thought you just had to find it,
pick it up, put it in sacks...
