The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
-Hey Mister! Will you stake fellow American to a meal? (stake means support)
-Such impudence never came my way. Early this afternoon I gave you money and when I was having my shoes polished, I gave you more money. Why you put the bite on me again. Do me a favor, will you? Go occasionally to somebody else it is the beginning to get tiresome.
-Ah! Excuse me mister, I did not know it was you. I never looked at your face, I just looked at your hand and the money you gave me. I beg pardon, Mister. I promise I will never put the bite on you again.
-This is the very last you get from me. Just to make sure you don’t forget your promise, here is another PESO.
-Thanks, Mister. Thanks!
-But from now on, you have to make your way to life without my assistance. -
Another excerpt from the movie: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
-Hey, buddy, will you stake fellow American to a meal?
-I won’t give you a red cent. If you want to make some money, I’ll give you a job.
-Eh! What’s the catch?
-There’s no catch. I gotta a job for you if you want to. It’s hard work but good pay. Have you ever rig a camp?
-Sure.
-Well, the ferry is making off. One of my men hasn’t showed up. I don’t know what’s happening to him, he’s probably filthy and drunk in some dive.
-What’s the pay?
-$8 bucks American a day. Well, don’t you just stand there? Make up your mind the ferry doesn’t wait.
-I’m your man.
-Come on.
