Good stuff! I'm glad the "tale of the Sierra madre" started it off!

 

That was the original line (well, a derivation of the original line from the novel which couldn't get past the censors) that went on to be misquoted everywhere. Kind of like "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille" and "Play it again, Sam".

Correct! I really came to like "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"...here's a Wikipedia bit about the line, edited from original as @Kevin Slater mentions:

 

John Huston's adaptation of Traven's novel was altered to meet Hays Code regulations, which severely limited profanity in film.[4] The original line from the novel was: "Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and chinga tu madre!" The dialogue as written for the film is:

 

Gold Hat: "We are Federales... you know, the mounted police."

Dobbs: "If you're the police, where are your badges?"

Gold Hat: "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

Gold Hat's response as written by Huston - and delivered by Bedoya - has become famous, and is often misquoted as "We don't need no stinking badges!" In 2005, the quotation was chosen as No. 36 on the American Film Institute list, AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes.
