Humphrey Bogart and his companions in Treasure of the Sierra Madre were accosted by some Mexican banditos claiming to be Federales. He asked them to show him some badges. They repiled:
¡We don' got (or maybe have) no badges!
¡We don' need no badges!
¡We don' have to show you any steenkeeng badges!
Somehow the addition of steenkeeng obviated the double negative (perfectly legal in Spanish) but when quoted the double negative and the steenkeeng always seem to stay together.
