Look what happened to the characters in Treasure of Sierra Madre. They started out with a common goal and worked together to mine gold. But as they acquired more wealth they became suspicious of each other and eventually became so paranoid (especially Humphrey) that violence ensued. Money is indeed the root of all evil.
