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.
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.
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: “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.”
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.
