A scene from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948
Dobbs

So you could fall on me from behind, sneak up, and shoot me in the back?

Curtin

All right, I'll go first.

Dobbs

And wait for me on the trail and ambush me?

Curtin

Why wouldn't I do it right here and now if I meant to kill you?

Dobbs

I'll tell you why. 'Cause you're yella. You haven't got nerve enough to pull the trigger while I'm lookin' you straight in the eye.

Curtin

If you think like that, there's nothing to do but to tie you up every night.

Dobbs

[He laughs]

I'll tell you what. I'll make you a little bet. Three times thirty-five is a hundred and five. I'll bet ya a hundred and five thousand dollars you go to sleep before I do.
