"Why, for years, they've been ravaging the New World of its most precious resources. But now, it's our turn."
"The gold of Cortes, the jewels of Pizarro will seem like mere trinkets by this time tomorrow."
"The gold we find here will dwarf them by far."
"Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys."

(John: "But there is no gold.") "And I suppose your little Indian friend told you this?"
When John confirms the Indian he met told him there is no gold, Ratcliffe dismisses these claims as lies rather than accepting them.
"This is MY land! I make the laws here! And I say anyone who so much as looks at an Indian without killing him on sight will be tried for treason..."

"And if you happen to see any Indians..."
