The Squaw Man (1931)

Raymond Hatton: Shorty

Quotes 

• Jim Wingate - aka Jim Carston : [drunkenly]  Shorty, did you ever see a game of polo?

  Shorty : I'm tellin' you, I got the low down!

  Jim Wingate - aka Jim Carston : The last time I played, she was there, in one of those big, droopy hats.

  Shorty : Are you gonna sit there and let 'em plug ya? He's found out he can't scare ya off and he can't buy you off and now he's gonna bump you off.

• Shorty : He's gotta have your ranch.

  Jim Wingate - aka Jim Carston : It's utterly worthless.

  Shorty : Not to him. He's runnin' bootleg business between here and San Pedro River. Dope and booze come across the border this way and the government crowding off the highway.

  Jim Wingate - aka Jim Carston : Is that so?

  Shorty : And Buzzard's Pass ain't no highway - which you can run trucks right straight up to the border. That's why he wants your ranch.
