The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Quotes
Fred C. Dobbs : Why am I elected to go to the village? Why me instead of you and Curtin? Oh, don't think I don't see through that. You two've thrown in against me. The two days I'd be gone would give you plenty of time to discover where my goods are, wouldn't it?
Howard : If you feel along those lines, why don't you take your goods with you?
Fred C. Dobbs : And run the risk of having them taken from me by bandits?
Howard : If you was to run into bandits, you'd be out of luck anyway. They'd kill you for the shoes on your feet.
Fred C. Dobbs : Oh, so that's it. Everything's clear now. You're hoping bandits will get me. That would save you a lot of trouble, wouldn't it? And your consciences wouldn't bother you none, neither.

James Cody : You know, you've got to hand it to the Mexicans when if comes to swift justice. Once the Federales get their mitts on a criminal, they know just what to do with him. They hand him a shovel, tell him where to dig, when he's dug deep enough, they tell him to put the shovel down, smoke a cigarette, and say his prayers. In another five minutes, he's being covered over with the dirt he dug out.
