Ah so ... BS came out in 1977 almost 40 years after the book (1935) which
was much more, ... hmmm ...  'emphatic' than the language of even the 1948
movie ;-)

	"Badges, to ^%!-$%%$#&! ^%$# with badges! We have no badges.
	In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any
 	stinking badges, you &^%-^%$^&! ^&%!$% and &^%$& tu madre!
	Come out there from that ^%$&-%$#^ of yours. I have to speak
	to you."
