Catlow (1971)

José Nieto: General

Quotes 

• Cowan : Well, it don't seem likely that somebody'd just go off and leave a pile of gold lying around a cave. Then again, there'd be no reason to hide it there unless maybe that gold was stolen in the first place.

  General : Your logic is impeccable.

  Cowan : Has the Mexican government lost any gold lately?

  General : To the contrary.

  Cowan : Well, back in '62, our Confederate Army did. Our supply base at Santa Fe was attacked by the Yankees. They made off with a fresh shipment from the gold fields. About 2 million dollars worth. Ha ha, now it might just be that that gold headed south instead of north.

  General : All this I find fascinating. And if it could be proved that this gold belongs to the American government, I'm sure it would be returned.

  Cowan : Yeah, unless something happened to it first.

  General : Oh, but nothing will.

  Cowan : Well, General, I hate to disagree with you... but you see, there's a man called Catlow.
