You never met a pair like Butch and The Kid.taglines

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.
