From “Requiem for a Gleet”
Ellsworth: Panic’s easier on the back than a short-handled shovel. The Creator, in his infinite wisdom, salted his works so that were the gold was, there also you would find rumor. Though he decreed just as firm that the opposite wouldn’t always hold.
--------------------------------------------------------------
From the same episode:
Commissioner Jarry: As to claims filed and worked prior to the new treaty – in essence from when the hills still belonged to the Sioux – the presumption of legitimacy will apply. Subject to qualification, according to mitigating facts. In short, with no controlling principle being invoked, title will be determined on a case-by-case basis. When claims are overturned, new title will be awarded at said prices via lottery, to those submitting verified offers.
Cy Tolliver: I only hope territorial officials will be excluded from eligibility.
Jarry: Yes.
Tolliver: Better tell your friends and relatives to pick their lucky suits out for that drawing.
Jarry: Only after Mr. Wolcott’s have picked out theirs. Of course, anticipation of the forthcoming judicial holding may itself largely cleanse the market.
Wolcott: It’s always preferable to allow the market to operate unimpeded.
Jarry: Would that argue for allowing word of my presence to circulate a bit before presenting myself officially?

I love this ******* show, but it's a difficult ********** to understand sometimes.
