Ridiculous moment in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (contains spoilers, sort of)

One of the things that has always bothered me about that scene:

Did they sleep all the way from New York? How did they get to Bolivia? Steamship to Panama? Cross the isthmus then catch a ship to Lima? Train from there to the back of beyond Bolivia? They would have had lots of time to see what the country looked like. It shouldn’t have been a surprise.

My favorite is “You just keep thinking Butch, that’s what you’re good at”. I’ve used that line on many occasions over the years.

Oh yeah, that’s a good one. Also “I’ve got vision and the rest of the world’s wearing bifocals,” I’ve used that one many and many a time. Also, “Rules? In a knife fight? NO RULES!” usually with an accompanying >BOOMPH< sound effect.

That one’s good for any conflict or contest.

“Rules? There’s no rules in Bar Trivia!” etc.

Oh, You’re so smart, You do it!

The first time I saw BCatSDK in the theater for some reason – film breakage earlier, maybe? – the scene with the bicycle salesman was missing making him showing up with one to peddle around Etta was truly a WTF moment and later, when he said, “The future’s all yours, you damn bicycle,” before departing for Bolivia it was also out of the blue.

Butch Cassidy: “Who are those guys?”

Butch Cassidy: “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?”
Butch Cassidy: “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.”

Butch Cassidy: “We could fight - they’ll stay right where they are and starve us out. Or go for position, shoot us. Might even get a rock slide started, get us that way. What else can they do?”
Sundance Kid: “They could surrender to us, but I wouldn’t count on that.”

arguing about jumping off the cliff into the river

Butch Cassidy: Alright. 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 Kid: I can’t swim!

Butch Cassidy: [pauses, then laughs] Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill ya.

[pause, then they start running to the edge]

Sundance Kid: OOOOH SHIIIIIT!

Has been a stock element of my vocabulary for any situation in which someone over-does something for 40+ years. Sadly though, rather than laugh uproariously at my witty refence to BC&tSK people just look at me funny and have no idea why I said what I said.

Same here. Probably use this more than… well, nevermind.
