When What Who How Where Why The Treasure of the Sierra Madre/Book 1935 Mexican Bandit (Gold Hat?)/ B. Traven "Badges, to ***-****** **** with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you ***-****** ****** and *****' tu madre! Come out there from that ****-**** of yours. I have to speak to you." - Page 161, Modern Library edition The mysterious B. Traven wrote the book that John Huston based his movie upon. As you can see, Huston's screenplay didn't stray too far from the original text. Thanks to Ral Sandberg for reminding me of this fact. (The rec.arts.movies-past-films FAQ also makes mention of this.)
