Directed by George Roy Hill and written by William Goldman.

Butch Cassidy

• If he'd just pay me what he's spending to make me stop robbing him, I'd stop robbing him.

• [Butch throws his bicycle away] The future's all yours, you lousy bicycles.

Others

• Sheriff Ray Bledsoe: You know, you should have let yourself get killed a long time ago when you had the chance. See, you may be the biggest thing that ever hit this area, but you're still two-bit outlaws. I never met a soul more affable than you, Butch, or faster than the Kid, but you're still nothing but two-bit outlaws on the dodge. It's over, don't you get that? Your time is over and you're gonna die bloody, and all you can do is choose where.

Dialogue

Butch Cassidy: Do you believe I'm broke already?

Etta Place: Why is there never any money, Butch?

Butch Cassidy: Well, I swear, Etta, I don't know. I've been working like a dog all my life and I can't get a penny ahead.

Etta Place: Sundance says it's because you're a soft touch, and always taking expensive vacations, and buying drinks for everyone, and you're a rotten gambler.

Butch Cassidy: Well that might have something to do with it.

Butch Cassidy: What happened to the old bank? It was beautiful.

Guard: People kept robbing it.

Butch Cassidy: Small price to pay for beauty.

Butch Cassidy: 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!

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.

Butch Cassidy: Don't sugarcoat it like that, Kid. Tell her straight.

Etta Place: 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.

[During a gunfight with the Bolivian police, Butch and Sundance run low on ammunition]

Butch Cassidy: We're going to run out unless we can get to that mule and get some more.

Sundance Kid: I'll go.

Butch Cassidy: This is no time for bravery. I'll let ya!

Butch Cassidy: [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?

Butch Cassidy: Thank God for that. For a moment there I thought we were in trouble.
