the phrase has become a cultural icon. and really, it is p/o related but the connection may be obscure. i recommend reading the book by b traven and watching the dvd version of the movie* which includes a documentary on the making of the movie.
you may have trouble finding them (book and dvd) in your mainstream library, i found them at a branch library in a seedy part of town (along with "twilight"). maybe just coincidence.
*bogie wore a wig during the making of the movie, he had lost his hair because of fertility treatments, trying to have a kid with lauren bacall. i know, i know this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay of topic.
I don't know that I've ever seen a movie with Bogart in it, but I have certainly listened to M.O.E. here and there, and this line pops up during a song called "Mexico".
It also appears in Blazing Saddles in the scene where they are getting a whole bunch of baddies (KKK, Wehrmacht and Mexican Bandits etc) to swear into a posse.
My kids used to be in stitches and quoted it all the time, especially at cub scouts and brownies.

Moe fan? I happened to listen to a show with that bit in it on my trip this week :-)
'Moe fan' ..... what on earth are you talking about?
