what did duke mantee say in petrified forest?

i cant remember if the young idealist fellow whose name i forgot asks him what does he hope for in life or something like that, but humphrey bogart, who played the most number one antisocial psychopath i ever saw in a film, said something i thought was really funny and i cant remember it. the only part i recall is 'wake up dead'

anybody know what was the question and answer?
