Card Player #2
Well, looks like you just about cleaned everybody out, fella. You haven't lost a hand since you got to deal. What's the secret of your success?
Sundance Kid Prayer.
...
We seem to be a little short on brotherly love around here.
Gunman
If you're with him, you'd better get yourself out of here.
We're on our way. Come on.
Sundance Kid I wasn't cheating.
Come on!
Sundance Kid [louder]
I wasn't cheating.
Gunman
You can die. For that matter, you can both die.
You hear that?
Sundance Kid If he invites us to stay, then we'll go...He's got to invite us to stick around.
He'll draw on ya. He's ready. You don't know how fast he is. I'm over the hill, but it can happen to you.
Sundance Kid That's just what I want to hear.
Every day you get older. Now that's a law! [The gunman **** his pistol] What would you think about maybe asking us to stick around?
Gunman
What?
You don't have to mean it or anything. Just ask us to stick around. I promise you...[The gunman refuses to listen and pushes Butch away] I can't help you, Sundance.
Gunman
[When the gunman realizes that he is up against quick-draw "Sundance," a horrified, dismayed look crosses his face]
I didn't know you were the Sundance Kid when I said you were cheating. If I draw on you, you'll kill me.
Sundance Kid There's that possibility.
No, you'd be killing yourself. So why don't you just invite us to stick around? You can do it, and easy. Come on. [coaxing] Come on.
Gunman
Why don't you stick around?
Thanks, but hah, we gotta get goin'. [He scoops up the Kid's winnings into his hat]
Gunman
[as Sundance strides out]
Hey Kid! Hey Kid! How good are ya? '[[Sundance wheels around and fires, detaching the gunman's gunbelt from his waist and sending his gun skittering across the room]
Kid, there's something I ought to tell you. I never shot anybody before.
Sundance Kid One hell of a time to tell me.
Sundance Kid [Butch just rode with Etta on his bicycle]
Hey, what are you doin'?
Stealin' your woman.
Sundance Kid [pause]
Take her.
Sundance Kid [sigh]
Take her.
Well, you're a romantic bastard, I'll give you that.
Harvey Logan [Harvey has challenged Butch to fight for control of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang]
Guns or Knives?
Neither?
Harvey Logan Pick.
I don't want to shoot with you Harvey.
Harvey Logan [Draws a big knife]
Anything you say, Butch.
'[Butch walks over to his horse, by Sundance]
Sundance Kid I would, but who'd bet on you?
Harvey Logan Sundance, this doesn't concern you. When we're done, and he's dead, you're welcome to stay.
[low voice, to Sundance]
Listen, I don't mean to be a sore loser, but when it's done, if I'm dead, kill him.
Sundance Kid [low voice to Butch]
Love to.
[Waves to Harvey and smiles] [Walks back, and Harvey tenses to begin the fight]
No, no, not yet. Not until me and Harvey get the rules straightened out.
Harvey Logan Rules? In a knife fight? No rules.
[Butch throws dirt in Harvey's eyes and kicks him in the groin, who falls to his knees]
Well, if there aint' going to be any rules, let's get the fight started. Someone count. 1,2,3 go.
Sundance Kid [quickly]
1,2,3, go.
Flat Nose Curry [Butch knocks Harvey out]
I was rooting for you all along, Butch
Well, thank you, Flatnose. That's what sustained me in my time of trouble.
Large Woman Start this train.
Sundance Kid Get back inside there, lady.
Large Woman Oh, I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm a grandmother and a female and I've got my rights. You can bull all the others but you can't bull me. I've fought whiskey and I've fought gambling and I can certainly fight you.
Once they divide up, we take them no trouble, right?
Sundance Kid Maybe.
Boy, for a gunman, you sure are a pessimist.
...
How many are following us?
Sundance Kid All of 'em.
All of 'em. What's the matter with those guys?
...
Ah, you're wasting you're time. They can't track us over rocks.
Sundance Kid Tell them that.
Who's the best lawman?
Sundance Kid The best, how? You mean toughest? Or easiest to bribe?
Toughest.
Sundance Kid Joe Lefors.
Got to be.
Sundance Kid Lefors never leaves Wyoming, never. You know that.
He always wears a white skimmer. That's how you tell it's Joe Lefors, 'cause he always wears a white straw hat. Look at that guy out front.
How long do you figure we've been watching?
Sundance Kid Oh, a while.
How long before you figure they're not after us?
Sundance Kid A while longer.
How come you're so talkative?
Sundance Kid Naturally blabby, I guess.
...
Sundance Kid You remember the time you and me and Etta went to Denver one summer for a vacation?
I'm glad you brought that up, Kid. That's an important topic, considering our situation.
Sundance Kid The night we went gambling, you remember?
We had dinner at the hotel. Etta had roast beef and I had chicken, and if I can remember what you had, I'll die a happy man.
...
You know, when I was a kid, I always thought I'd grow up to be a hero.
Sundance Kid Well, it's too late now.
What'd you say that for? You didn't have to say something like that.
...
Don't they get tired? Don't they get hungry?
Sundance Kid They gotta be.
Why don't they slow up? Hell, they could even go faster, at least that'd be a change. They don't even break formation. Do something.
Well, the way I figure it, we can either fight or give. If we give, we go to jail.
Sundance Kid I been there already.
But if we fight, they can stay right where they are and starve us out or go for position - shoot us; might even get a rockslide started and get us that way. What else could they do?
Sundance Kid They could surrender to us, but I wouldn't count on that. [He watches the posse maneuver] They're goin' for position, all right. Better get ready. [He loads his gun]
Kid - the next time I say, "Let's go someplace like Bolivia," let's go someplace like Bolivia.
Sundance Kid Next time. Ready?
Sundance Kid Like hell we will.
No, it'll be OK - if the water's deep enough, we don't get squished to death. They'll never follow us.
Sundance Kid How do you know?
Would you make a jump like that you didn't have to?
Sundance Kid I have to and I'm not gonna.
Well, we got to, otherwise we're dead. They're just gonna have to go back down the same way they come. Come on.
Sundance Kid Just one clear shot, that's all I want.
...
Sundance Kid I wanna fight 'em!
They'll kill us!
Sundance Kid Maybe.
You wanna die?!
Sundance Kid [waving his pistol at the river far below]
Do you?!
All right. I'll jump first.
Sundance Kid Nope.
Then you jump first.
Sundance Kid No, I said!
What's the matter with you?!
Sundance I can't swim!
Sundance Kid What's your idea this time?
Bolivia.
Sundance Kid What's Bolivia?
Bolivia. That's a country, stupid! In Central or South America, one or the other.
Sundance Kid Why don't we just go to Mexico instead?
'Cause all they got in Mexico is sweat and there's too much of that here. Look, if we'd been in business during the California Gold Rush, where would we have gone? California - right?
Sundance Kid Right.
So when I say Bolivia, you just think California. You wouldn't believe what they're finding in the ground down there. They're just fallin' into it. Silver mines, gold mines, tin mines, payrolls so heavy we'd strain ourselves stealin' 'em.
Sundance Kid [chuckling]
You just keep thinkin', Butch. That's what you're good at.
Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
Sundance Kid Well, I think I'll get saddled up and go looking for a woman.
Good hunting.
Sundance Kid Shouldn't take more than a couple of days. I'm not picky. As long as she's smart, pretty, and sweet, and gentle, and tender, and refined, and lovely, and carefree ...
Sundance Kid [Etta is surprised in her home as she is undressing by Sundance]
Keep going, teacher lady. [He points his pistol at her] It's OK, don't mind me. Keep on going. [She removes her outer slip] Put down your hair. Shake your head.
[Cocking his gun, he threatens for her to undo the last remaining bits of clothing. Then he rises and approaches toward her with amorous intentions to force himself upon her] [sadly]
Do you know what I wish?
Sundance Kid What?
That once, you'd get here on time!
Sundance Kid Did you say they were hired permanent?
No, just until they kill you.
Sundance Kid [to Etta]
What I'm saying is, if you want to go, I won't stop you. But the minute you start to whine or make a nuisance, I don't care where we are, I'm dumping you flat.
Don't sugarcoat it like that, Kid. Tell her straight.
I'm 26, and I'm single, and a school teacher, and that's the bottom of the pit. And the only excitement I've known is here with me now. I'll go with you, and I won't whine, and I'll sew your socks, and I'll stitch you when you're wounded, and I'll do anything you ask of me except one thing. I won't watch you die. I'll miss that scene if you don't mind.
...
[arriving in Bolivia]
You know, it could be worse. You get a lot more for your money in Bolivia, I checked on it.
Sundance Kid What could they have here that you could possibly want to buy?
...
Jeesh, all Bolivia can't look like this.
Sundance Kid How do you know? This might be the garden spot of the whole country. People may travel hundreds of miles just to get to this spot where we're standing now. This might be the Atlantic City, New Jersey of all Bolivia for all you know.
Look I know a lot more about Bolivia than you know about Atlantic City, New Jersey I can tell you that.
Sundance Kid AHA. You do huh? I was born there, I was born in New Jersey. Was brought up there, so...
You're from the east? I didn't know that.
Sundance Kid The total tonnage of what you don't know is enough to shatter...
I'm not sure we're accomplishing as much as we'd like here.
Sundance Kid Listen, you're job is to back me up, because you'd starve without me. [turns to Butch] And you, your job is to shut up.
He'll feel a lot better after he's robbed a couple of banks.
Sundance Kid Bolivia. Ha-ha-ha-haa.
Percy Garris [singing]
Oh don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike / Crossed the high mountains with her lover Ike / Two yoke of oxen and big yellow dog / Called Shanghai rooster and one spotted hog / Hoodle-dang-hootie-i-doh, hoodle-dang-hootie-ay, hoodle-dang-hootie-i-doh, hoodle-dang-hootie-ay / Shanghai ran off and the cattle all died / last piece of bacon that morning was fried...
Sundance Kid In the bushes on the left.
I'm telling you they're in the trees up ahead.
Sundance Kid You take the trees, I'll take the bushes.
Percy Garris Will you two beginners cut it out.
Well, we're just trying to spot an ambush, Mr. Garris.
Percy Garris Morons. I've got morons on my team. Nobody is going to rob us going down the mountain. We have got no money going down the mountain. When we have got the money, on the way back, then you can sweat.
Is that what you call giving cover?
Sundance Kid Is that what you call running? If I knew you were going to stroll...
You never could shoot, not from the very beginning.
Sundance Kid And you were all mouth.
[During a gunfight with the Bolivian police, Butch and Sundance run low on ammunition]
We're going to run out unless we can get to that mule and get some more.
Sundance Kid I'll go.
This is no time for bravery. I'll let ya!
[last lines -- as the pair are outnumbered and pinned down]
Wait a minute - you didn't see Lefors out there did you?
Sundance Kid Lefors? No, why?
Thank God for that. For a moment there I thought we were in trouble.
Kid, there's somethin' I think I oughta tell ya. I never shot anybody before.
Sundance One hell of a time to tell me!
[last lines — as the pair are outnumbered and pinned down]
Wait a minute — you didn't see Lefors out there did you?
Sundance Lefors? No, why?
Oh, good. For a moment there I thought we were in trouble.
Bolivian officer
[seeing Butch and Sundance come out]
Fuego! Fuego! Fuego! [the screen freezes]
