"We Don't Need No Stinkin' Badges!"


In the classic Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Humphrey Bogart, playing a gold miner confronted in the mountains by Mexican bandits posing as sheriffs, asks to see their badges. The leader of the bandits pauses blank-faced and then blurts out, "We don't need no stinkin' badges!" This is one of my all-time favorite movie lines.
