Quote context

[...]

- I thought perhaps I was among civilized men who wouldn't begrudge me a little fresh water.

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...!

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.
