Hey, if there was gold in them mountains, how long would it have been there? Millions and millions of years, wouldn't it? So what's our hurry? A couple of days more or less ain't gonna make any difference.

Remember what you said back in Tampico about having to pack an old man on our backs?

That was when I took him for an ordinary human being - not part goat. Look at him climb, will ya?

What gets me is how he can go all day long in the sun without any water.

Maybe he's part camel too.

If I'd known what prospecting meant, I'd have stayed in Tampico and waited for another job to turn up.
