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.

Maltese Falcon...gold
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.
