I'm not sure where to post this, so I will try all 3 of these related groups.
There is a quote that I first heard in Blazing Saddles, which goes:
(with a thick Mexican accent) "Badges? We don't need no steenking badges!"
I used to think it originated in Blazing Saddles. I no longer think so.
A friend of mine said he heard it came from a Humphrey Bogart movie (Treasure
of Sierra Madre???). It was of course, also reused in the Killer Bees routines
on the old Saturday Night Live.
Let's not clutter the net with this stuff. Please mail any answers to me at
one of the addresses listed below, and I will (if I get any sort of response)
post a final conclusion.

Johnny Fever (Howard Hessman) also used the line rather effectively while relating experiences about a mexican prison in at least one episode of WKRP. -- Walt Tucker

The best use of this line I have heard was by the local PBS station in their drive to eliminate pledge week (by getting enough contributions without the pledge circus): The Pancho Villa type comes on during station break, spits, and says "Pledges? We don't need no steenking pledges!" -------------------------------- Alan Filipski, UNIX group, Motorola Microsystems, Tempe, AZ U.S.A {seismo|ihnp4}!ut-sally!oakhill!mot!al allegra!sftig!mot!al ucbvax!arizona!asuvax!mot!al --------------------------------
