- We'd have to have equipment, all right... Picks and spades, pans, burros. Wonder how much it would all cost.
- That old man would know.
- Yeah. He could give us some pointers, all right.

Quote context

[...]

- The money's getting shorter every day, and pretty soon we're right back where we were: on the bum again, pushing guys for dimes and sleeping around in freight cars.

- Got any ideas?

- Yeah. That old man in the Oso Negro started me to thinking.

- What about?

- Why not try gold digging for a change? Well, it ain't any riskier than waiting around here for a break.

- And this is the country where the nuggets of gold are just crying for you to take them out of the ground, make them shine in coins, on the fingers and necks of swell dames.

- One thing, living in the open's cheaper than it is here in Tampico. Our money would last longer.

- Sure. The longer it lasts, the greater our chance of digging something up would be.

- We'd have to have equipment, all right... Picks and spades, pans, burros. Wonder how much it would all cost.

- That old man would know.

- Yeah. He could give us some pointers, all right.

- He's too old to take along with us, of course. We'd have to pack him on our backs.

- You can't tell about some of those old guys. It's surprising sometimes how tough they are.

- I don't know what gold looks like in the ground. I've only seen it in jewelry store windows and people's mouths.

- You know anything about prospecting?

- Uh, not much when you come right down to it.

Top rated lines from this movie

Yeah. I could use a good mule driver, maybe 2 or 3.
Let me tell you something, my 2 fine bedfellows! You're so dumb, there's nothing to compare you with! You're dumber than the dumbest jackass! Look at each other, will you? You ever see anything like yourself for being dumb specimens? Ha ha ha ha...!
On the other hand, going with a partner, too, is dangerous... murder's always lurking about, partners accusing each other of all sorts of crimes.
Ah, I think I'll go to sleep and dream about piles of gold getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
Next time you fellas strike it rich, holler for me, will you, before you start splashing water around. Water's precious. Sometimes it can be more precious than gold.
