The Treasure of the Sierra Madre quotes

Nobody puts one over on Fred C. Dobbs.

Fred C. Dobbs

Dobbs: You know, if I was a native, I'd get me a can of shoe polish and I'd be in business. They'd never let a gringo. You can sit on a bench 'til you're three-quarters starved... you can beg from another gringo... you can even commit burglary. You try shinin' shoes in the street, peddlin' lemonade out of a bucket, and your hash is settled. You'll never get another job from an American.
Curtin: Yeah, and the natives would hound and pester you to death.
Dobbs: Some town to be broke in.
Curtin: What town isn't?

Curtin, Fred C. Dobbs

Without me, you two would die here, more miserable than rats.

Howard
