Key Largo (1948)

Monte Blue: Sheriff Ben Wade

Quotes 

• Sheriff Ben Wade : You said you hadn't seen the Osceolas. You lied. Sawyer was here. He called because he'd found the Osceolas. They tried to hide it by sinking his body... but the storm tore his body loose and threw it up! Right at your door! And that's where the crime belongs, at your door.

• [first lines] 

  Sheriff Ben Wade : [to the driver after pulling over a bus]  Hello, Eddie.

  Bus Driver : Hi, Ben. What gives?

  Sheriff Ben Wade : We're lookin' for a couple Indians broke out of jail. Young bucks in fancy shirts. If you see anything of 'em, telephone my office at Palm Grove.

  Bus Driver : Okay.

  [after the sheriff and deputy leave, he turns to Frank McCloud in the first passenger seat] 

  Bus Driver : Those Indians they're lookin' for must be from around here. They always head for home.

  Frank McCloud : Home being Key Largo.
