Difficult one to choose from as there are so many good ones to choose from and some of my favorites have already been mentioned here. I don't know why but I've always liked the infamous quote from 1948 The the treasure of the Sierra Madre.... derived from the 1927 book of the same name.
"Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!"
however it really has been paraphrased, the real line in the movie it comes from a character, named Top Hat ... a bandito ... in response to a question posed by Dobbs (Humphrey Bogart)..... "If you're the police, where are your badges?"
Top Hat replies.... "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"
so on reflection the true longer quote doesn't have the same impact as what people have perceived it to be over the years, then it's not a worthy quote to be considered perhaps. Anyway it sticks in my mind and tickles my warped sense of humor.
