• Cal : Work I don't mind. To tell you the truth, my nerves can't stand to see you swing that axe. Besides, you got some of them there five dollar letters to write. This mine's petering out. Go on, I'll chop that wood later.

  Sam Clemens : All right, but I'll thank you not to malign my artistic epistles.

  Cal : Wouldn't do that even if I knew what that meant.

• [last lines] 

  Cal : Hey, wait a minute. Old Whiteman's cement mine... Sam, do you here me - we can grab a claim right next to his! We can still have those millions!

  Cal : Whataya mean? You can't pass up a chance like this!

  Sam Clemens : This - and all of the others to come.

  [regarding his pencil]
