What was "the stuff that dreams are made of?"
My best guess would be "Casa Blanca". Spoken by the acter Humphrey Bogart.

You're close, Bob. It WAS spoken by Bogie, but not in Casablanca. And the answer to the question is what is being referred to.
That quote is from "The Maltese Falcon".

That's it. It's at the very end of the movie. Great quote.
Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I taking a long nap.
But not the last thing said. That would be "Hugh?" by Ward...
The last word uttered in the movie was Huh?
Yup. Classic movie trivia..

Not just gold. Here's the description. Sydney Greenstreet gives a pretty complete one in the movie. The "Maltese Falcon" itself is said to have been based on the "Kniphausen Hawk", a ceremonial pouring vessel made in 1697 for George William von Kniphausen, Count of the Holy Roman Empire. It is modeled after a hawk perched on a rock and is encrusted with red garnets, amethysts, emeralds and blue sapphires. The hawk itself was made of silver.
The following link contains a photo of the "Kniphausen Hawk," the Falcon as described by Kaspar Gutman.
