- Buenas noches. Señores, ¿podemos sentarnos a descansar un poquito? Por favor.

- Con mucho gusto. Como no, amigos. ¿Quieren tomar cafe con nosotros?

- Si. Gracias, señores. Curtin. Coffee.

- Give them some tobacco.

- Pues Vera usted, señor. Mi hijito se cayo al agua. Lo sacamos tan pronto como pudimos. No se mueve ni nada. Y no quiere revivir. Pero yo creo que no esta muerto. Necesitamos ayuda, por favor.

- ¿Cuando sucedio esto a su hijito?

- Esta tarde, señor.

- Oh. Says his little boy fell in the water and they fished him out. He won't come to. He ain't dead, but he just won't come to.

- I'll go have a look at the boy. I'll be back in a little while, before morning probably.

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.
