Sundance Kid: [Butch and the Kid are on the edge of a cliff preparing to take on the posse pursuing them] Ready?
Butch Cassidy: No, we'll jump.
Sundance Kid: Like hell, we will.
Butch Cassidy: No, it'll be okay. If the water's deep enough and 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 if 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. We'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.
Butch Cassidy: Come on.
Sundance Kid: Uh-uh.
Butch Cassidy: [leans into the Kid] We got to!
Sundance Kid: Get away from me.
Butch Cassidy: Why?
Sundance Kid: I wanna fight 'em!

They'll kill us.
Sundance Kid: Maybe.
Butch Cassidy: You wanna die?
Sundance Kid: Do you?
Butch Cassidy: Alright. I'll jump first.

Sundance Kid: It's your great ideas that got us into this mess. I never want to hear another one of your great ideas. Ever!
Butch Cassidy: Australia. I thought that secretly you wanted to know so I told you.
Sundance Kid: That's your great idea?
Butch Cassidy: The latest in a long line. We get out of here

alive, we go to Australia. Goodbye, Bolivia. Hello to Australia.
Sundance Kid: Australia is no better than here.
Butch Cassidy: That's all you know.
Sundance Kid: Name me one thing.
Butch Cassidy: They speak English in Australia.
Sundance Kid: They do?
Butch

Cassidy: That's right, smart guy, so we wouldn't be foreigners. We'd blend in more easily. They got horses in Australia and thousands of miles of countryside that we can hide out in, and good climate. Nice beaches. You can learn to swim.
Sundance Kid: No. Swimming isn't important. What about the banks?
Butch Cassidy: Very easy. Easy, ripe,

and luscious.
Sundance Kid: The banks or the women?
Butch Cassidy: Well, once you get one you get the other.

there and realize that it stinks, that's all.
Butch Cassidy: At least think about it.
Sundance Kid: All right... I'll think about it.

Butch Cassidy: Oh, good.

For a moment there I thought we were in trouble.
