Second Pauper:
And gold! Do you not know that there the gold lies on the surface of the earth? It’s for the one who picks it up. You only have to bend down
Third Pauper:
Do you not know that gold and precious stones are lying there in the light of day? And that all riches are scattered there in the dust of the earth? There’s enough riches for everyone there. There is riches for the disinherited!
Chorus of Paupers:
In the Land of Hopes!
Dollarson (to the public):
Ha, ha, ha! Who wouldn’t go to the Land of Hopes? Buy the Dollarson shares! Do you hear? There’s soil, gold, riches
Fifth Pauper (leaping to the front):
Not only riches and gold; there’s more than that.
Dollarson:
More? More than that? What greater thing do you want to seek there?
Fifth Pauper:
Liberty!
Sixth Pauper (leaping to the front):
More!
Dollarson:
Still more?
