- $5000 is a lot of money.
- Yeah, here in this joint it seems like a lot, but, I tell you, if you was to make a real strike, you couldn't be dragged away.
- Not even the threat of miserable death would keep you from trying to add 10000 more. 10, you'd want to get 25.25, you'd want to get 50.50, 100. Like roulette, one more turn... You know, always one more.
- It wouldn't be that way with me. I swear it wouldn't. I'd take only what I set out to get, even if there was still a half a million dollars worth lying around waiting to be picked up.
- I've dug in Alaska and Canada and Colorado. I was with the crowd in the British Honduras before I'd made my fare back home and almost enough over to cure me of the fever I'd caught. Dug in California and Australia, all over the world, practically.
- I know what gold does to men's souls.
- You talk as though you struck it rich sometime or other, pop. How about it? Then what are you doing in here, a down-and-outer?
- That's the gold. That's what it makes of us. Never knew a prospector yet that died rich. Make one fortune, you're sure to blow it in trying to find another. I'm no exception to the rule.
- Ah, sure, I'm an odd old bone now, but, say, don't you guys think the spirit's gone.
- I'm all set to shoulder a pickax and a shovel anytime anybody's willing to share expenses.
- Rather go by myself. Going it alone's the best way, but you got to have a stomach for loneliness. Some guys go nutty with it.
