Mort Fowler Quotes in Dangers of the Canadian Mounted (1948)

Dale: So, the Genghis Kahn treasure rumor is true, Mort.

Mort Fowler: I'll say it's true.

[he indicates an ancient Chinese junk stranded on dry land]

Mort Fowler: That crate's been moored there for seven hundred years.

Mort Fowler: Find anything?

Lowry: Nothing but rags and dust so far.

Dale: You think the treasure's in this place?

Mort Fowler: If it ain't, there's a clue to tell us where it is. Nobody knows about this place but us. There'll be plenty of time to search.

Dale: Not now you haven't. That's why the Chief sent me out here.

Mort Fowler: What do ya mean?

Dale: That new land bill has been passed and signed. As soon as Andy Knight finishes that link to the Al-Can Highway, this territory will be thrown open to the homesteaders.

Mort Fowler: You mean someone is liable to find the treasure before we do and stake a claim on it?

Dale: That's right. So, the Chief says we gotta delay the road work

Mort Fowler: "Secret of treasure in altar - Cave of a Thousand Tunnels" Say, what does this mean "secret of treasure in altar..." Isn't the treasure there?

Dale: Belanco doesn't think so. He thinks that we'll find directions there. So we should locate the treasure very soon now.

Mort Fowler: We'll have to, if it's going to do any good. That blasted Mountie got wise that we were going to hijack the powder truck and he put the kibosh on it.

Dale: So we didn't completely wreck the Al-Can Highway and it's got to be done!

Mort Fowler: Or else the homesteaders will come swarming in on us and we'll lose out on the treasure.
