- Fortune has given us this treasure so that we can party for the rest of our lives. We'll spend it as easily as we found it.
- By God's precious nobility! Who would've thought that we'd have such luck today?

- But we can't do this during the day; people will think we stole it, and hang us for stealing our own treasure.
- We have to wait until it's dark, and secretly carry it home.
- Meanwhile, I think we should draw straws to see who'll go to town to bring us bread and wine and who'll stay here to guard the treasure.
- When it's night, we will carry this treasure to a place we all agree on."
