and get out there after them,

maybe we can head them off.

If we did that, they'd kill us.

We don't want to let

them get away with this.

Boy, I just eat this up with a spoon.

All right, youse two,

I want you at my party.

What party?

I'm losing my piano player.

He's going off to fight the war.

What war?

The war with the Spanish.

Remember the Maine.

Who can forget it?

I'm giving him a send-off. so come on.

Goodbye, Dolly

I must leave you...

When I was a kid,

I always thought I would grow up

to be a hero.

It's too late now.

Why'd you say something like that?

You didn't have to say

something like that.

You want me to go alone

and fight the

Hole-In-The-Wall Gang?

That's fine with me.

If you want your kids

to know you let me,

that's fine with me,

but I don't think that's what you want.

Is it?

Why don't we enlist,

go fight the Spanish?

You and me in the war.

We got a lot of things going for us...

experience, maturity, leadership.

I'll bet we end up officers.

I'd be Major Parker.

Parker?

Yeah. That's my real name.

Robert Leroy Parker.

No fooling?

No.

Mine's Longbaugh.

No fooling.

Long what?

Harry Longbaugh.

So you'd be Major Longbaugh.

What do you say?

You just keep thinking, Butch.

That's what you're good at.

But you're not frightened.

No, sir.

You have got respect for me,

and I have got respect for you.

That's why you and you and you

are riding with me. Am I right?

Well, what do you say?

I say this.

I say, ladies and gentlemen,

boys and girls, friends and enemies,

meet the future!

The future what?

The future mode of transportation

for this weary Western world.

Now, I'm not going to make

a lot of extravagant claims.

Sure, it'll change your

whole life for the better,

but that's all.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

You got the crowd together,

so I thought I'd do a little selling.

I'm trying to raise a posse here.

A short presentation.

The horse is dead.

This item sells itself.

Are you going to listen

to him or come with me?

Butch, Fanny says to come into her party

right now.

No oats, no mess, no kicks, no bites,

no running away, no

stepping on your foot.

Well, I think I'll get saddled up

and go looking for a woman.

Good hunting.

Shouldn't take more

than a couple of days.

I'm not picky...

as long as she's smart,

pretty...

sweet...

gentle, and...

tender and refined...

lovely...

carefree.

Aah!

Keep going, teacher lady.

It's O.K. Don't mind me. Keep on going.

Let down your hair.

Shake your head.

Do you know what I wish?

That once you'd get here on time.

You are mine, Etta Place.

Mine.

You hear me?

Mine.

All mine.

Your soft white flesh is mine.

Soft...

white...

bwhaa!

Meet the future.

Do you know what you're doing?

Theoretically.

Aah!

Don't ever hit your mother with a shovel

It leaves a dull impression on her mind

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

And just like the guy

Whose feet are too big for his bed

Nothin' seems to fit

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head

They keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun

And I said I didn't like

the way he got things done

Sleepin' on the job

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head

They keep fallin'

But there's one thing

I know

The blues they sent to meet me

Won't defeat me

It won't be long

Till happiness

Steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

But that doesn't mean

My eyes will soon be turnin' red

Cryin's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain

By complainin'

Because I'm free

Nothin's worryin' me

Raindrops are fallin' on my head

But that doesn't mean

My eyes will soon be turnin' red

Cryin's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain

By complainin'

Because I'm free

Nothin's worryin' me

You've come to get him for the Flyer?

Would you believe I'm broke already?

Why is there never any money, Butch?

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.

Sundance says it's

because you're a soft touch

and always taking expensive vacations,

buying drinks for everyone,

and you're a rotten gambler.

That might have something to do with it.

Butch.

Hmm?

Do you ever wonder if I'd met you first

we'd been the ones to get involved?

We are involved, Etta.

Don't you know that?

You are riding on my bicycle.

In some Arabian countries,

that's the same as being married.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Stealing your woman.

Take her.

Take her.

Well, you're a romantic bastard.

I'll give you that.

I'll give you that.

O.K., open up in there.

I work for Mr. E.H. Harriman...

Hey, Woodcock!

Butch?

You O.K.?

Uh, well, sort of.

Hey, that's wonderful.

Let's take a look at you.

Well, now, Butch,

you've got to have more respect for me

than to think I'd fall

for a stunt like that.

You can't want to get blown up again?

Uh, Butch, you know if it were my money,

there's nobody I'd rather have steal it

than you.

But I'm still in the employ

of Mr. E.H. Harriman

of the Union Pacific Railroad.

Start this train!

Get back inside, lady.

I'm not afraid of you.

I'm not afraid of anything.

I'm a grandmother and a female,

and I've got my rights.

We got no time for this.

You can bull the others, but not me.

I've fought whiskey, and

I've fought gambling...

We got no time for this.

What are you doing? Let go!

What are you going to do to her?

Well, leave her alone.

You're after the money,

and the money's in here.

Please! All I want

is for somebody to start this train.

Somebody, please!

Open the door, Woodcock,

or tell her goodbye.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

What am I going to

tell poor Mr. Harriman?

Woodcock, what'd you have to go and do

something like that for?

Well, Butch, you blew

the last one so easy,

I just had to, um, do something.

Give me that and get some more,

a lot more!

Well, that ought to do it.

Think you used enough

dynamite there, Butch?

Ha ha ha ha.

What the hell is that?

Whatever they're

selling, I don't want it.

Will you leave it?

Come on!

Hyah!

Hey, Butch!

What?

They're very good!

Split up!

How many of'em are following us?

All of'em.

All of'em?

What's the matter with those guys?

Hyah!

I think we lost 'em. Do

you think we lost 'em?

No.

Neither do I. Hyah!

Take our horses out back. Feed 'em good.

Where's Sweetface?

Just inside. Trouble?

Listen, you dirty old man,

I know you're a lying thief

and so do you,

but who'd know it to look at you?

Get yourself out front fast.

You seen us ride through

not five minutes ago.

Do this right,

I'll get you an old dog to kick.

Here, room 9. Top of the stairs.

Hey, you realize you're driving me crazy

staring out the window like that?

I swear, Sweetface can handle it, easy.

He wouldn't dare louse me up.

He's that scared of me.

Hey, kid, how can I give Agnes

the concentration she deserves

with you staring out
