A scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 1969
Butch Cassidy

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.

Butch Cassidy

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]

Butch Cassidy

Kid - the next time I say, "Let's go someplace like Bolivia," let's go someplace like Bolivia.

Sundance Kid

Next time. Ready?

Butch Cassidy

[looking into the deep canyon and the river far below]

No, we'll jump.

Sundance Kid

Like hell we will.

Butch Cassidy

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?

Butch Cassidy

Would you make a jump like that you didn't have to?

Sundance Kid

I have to and I'm not gonna.

Butch Cassidy

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!

Butch Cassidy

They'll kill us!

Sundance Kid

Maybe.

Butch Cassidy

You wanna die?!

Sundance Kid

[waving his pistol at the river far below]

Do you?!

Butch Cassidy

All right. I'll jump first.

Sundance Kid

Nope.

Butch Cassidy

Then you jump first.

Sundance Kid

No, I said!

Butch Cassidy

What's the matter with you?!

Sundance

I can't swim!

Butch Cassidy

[laughing]

Why, you crazy - the fall'll probably kill ya!
