A scene from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948
Dobbs

It don't look much different from sand...plain sand. It don't glitter - I thought it would glitter.

Howard

It'll glitter when it's refined. That's some other guy's job. All we gotta do is mine it and get it back there. You know, gold ain't like stones in a riverbed. It don't cry out to be picked up. You got to know how to recognize it. And the findin' ain't all. Not by a long shot. You got to know how to tickle her, so she'll come out laughin'. Yeah, it's mighty rich. It will pay good.

Curtin

How much?

Howard

Oh, about twenty ounces to the ton.
