Dobbs: "If you're the police where are your air conditioners?"

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

The original quotation comes from the 1948 film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

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!"

Just before bullets begin to fly, confrontational Gold Hat, foul-tempered and miserable with a painful, sweaty rash on his groin, and overheated in the torrid realm of the rattlesnake, Sierra Madre Occidental, Mexico, not all that far from Phoenix, bares his teeth. weather.gov
