How do you know?

Would you jump that

if you didn't have to?

I have to, and I'm not gonna.

We got to. Otherwise we're dead.

Come on.

Just one clear shot...

that's all I want.

I want to fight them!

They'll kill us.

Maybe.

You want to die?

Do you?

All right, I'll jump first.

No.

Then you jump first.

No, I said.

What's the matter?

I can't swim!

Why, you crazy?

The fall will probably kill you.

Oh-oh...

ohhh...

shiiiit!

Hang on to me.

You're drowning me!

I can't help it. I can't swim.

You're choking me!

I can't swim!

I'm telling you, if I drown,

I swear to God I'll kill you.

Never said I was a great swimmer.

Oh! You're choking me!

Oh! I'm choking!

Let go of me.

I'm choking!

Let go of my throat.

The papers said they had you.

Was it LeFors? Did they say?

Joe LeFors?

I think so.

And their tracker?

Tracker?

Was it Lord Baltimore?

I think so.

The paper's inside.

You got enough to feed us?

Don't you know I do?

They said you were dead.

Don't make a big thing out of it.

No. Make a big thing out of it.

Hey.

It was Baltimore and LeFors.

You know who else?

Who?

Jeff Carr, George Hiatt...

Hiatt?

T.T. Kelliher.

We lucked out getting away.

You know that?

Why would these guys join up

and take after us, though?

Forget it. Bunch like that

won't stay together long.

They will...

if Mr. Harriman has his way.

Who?

Mr. E.H. Harriman

of the Union Pacific Railroad.

He resents the way you've

been picking on him,

so he's outfitted a special train

and hired special employees.

You've been avoiding them for two days.

It's really sort of flattering

if you want to think about it that way.

A setup like that costs more

than we ever took.

Apparently he can afford it.

That crazy Harriman.

That's bad business.

How long do you think

I'd stay in operation

if every job cost me money?

If he'd just pay me what he's spending

to make me stop robbing him,

I'd stop robbing him.

You probably inherited

every penny you got!

Inherited guys,

what the hell do they know?

You say they were hired permanent?

No. Just till they kill you.

That means they're

still after us, Butch,

and it's going to be the same thing

all over again.

They'll show up here...

sooner or later.

Hey, Etta.

I'll get you some more.

Butch and me have been

talking it all over.

Wherever the hell Bolivia is,

that's where we're off to.

We'll go down there and play it safe,

maybe keep our hand in a little bit.

Butch speaks some Spanish.

I can wrestle with a menu O.K.

And you speak it good.

And it'd be good cover

going with a woman.

No one expects it.

Then we could travel safer.

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.

Don't sugarcoat it like that, Kid.

Tell her straight.

I'm 26, and I'm single

and a schoolteacher,

and that's the bottom of the pit.

And the only excitement I've known

is here with me now.

So 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.

The future's all yours,

you lousy bicycles.

Well, you know, it could be worse.

You get a lot more for

your money in Bolivia.

I checked on it.

What could they have here

that you could possibly want to buy?

Jeez, all Bolivia can't look like this.

How do you know?

This might be the garden spot

of the whole country.

People may travel hundreds of miles

just to get to this spot

where we're standing now.

This might be the

Atlantic City, New Jersey,

of all Bolivia for all you know.

I know more about Bolivia

than you know about

Atlantic City, New Jersey,

I can tell you that.

Aha!

You do, huh?

I was born there.

I was born in New Jersey...

brought up there, so...

I didn't know that.

The total tonnage of what you don't know

is enough to shatter...

We're not accomplishing

as much as we might.

Listen, your job is to back me up,

because you'd starve without me.

And you, your job is to shut up.

He'll feel a lot better

after he's robbed a couple of banks.

Ha ha ha ha!

Bolivia.

Hell, it's just a bank

like any other bank.

You got to move in slowly,

check out everything.

The thing to remember...

Don't tell me how to rob a bank.

I know how to rob a bank.

A few dark clouds

appear on your horizon,

and you just go all

to pieces, don't you?

Buenos das, seores.

Les puedo servir en algo?

Ordenen para atenderlos

por favor inmediatamente.

Quieren hacer algn depsito?

Quieren abrir una cuenta?

Bien, el cajero los

atienda inmediatamente.

Los atendemos por todo.

Seor?

Adis.

This is a robbery.

Esto es un robo.

Esto es un robo.

This is supposed to

be a unison recitation.

Why do I have to do any of this?

He's the one

who claimed he knew the language.

Your line of work requires

a specialized vocabulary.

I got nervous. I forgot

the words. Shoot me.

You've had worse ideas lately.

Raise your hands.

Uh... las manos arriba.

Raise them.

Arriba.

All of you back against the wall.

Todos ustedes, um...

arrsmense a la pared.

Give me the money.

Give me the money.

Give me the money.

This is not going to work,

and we're going to be up all night

until you get this.

Now give me the money.

It's on the tip of my tongue, Etta.

I swear it.

Butch, are you still thinking in there?

What the hell else is there to do?

Try this one.

Where is the safe? Open it.

Dnde es...

Uh, that's a hard one.

Dnde est la caja? brala!

That's very good, Butch.

You're a good teacher. Etta.

Esto es un robo!

Manos a...

Manos, um...

Manos arriba!

They got them up! Skip down!

- Arriba!

- Skip on down!

Todos ustedes arrsmense a la pared.

They're against the wall already!

Dnde es...

Oh, you're so damn smart,

you read it.

A goddamn crib sheet.

You almost blew it.

You sure didn't help much.

You can't do anything

without a crib sheet.

For God's sake, don't drop the money!

I won't drop the money!

Voy a traer el comisario.

S, vamos.

Ay, nombre.

Evarista.

Evarista qu?

Seor comandante,

dos hombres acometen y asaltan el banco.

Dos yanquis y una muchacha

se fueron por la caada.

Se llevaron mi pistola y todo el dinero.

Vmanos!

A caballos!

Isn't that a pretty sight?

Well, we're back in

business, boys and girls,

just like the old days.

Let's stay here and get him

and be done with it.

But what if we lose?

We saw him with two guys.

What if he's got 20?

You don't know for sure it's LeFors.

I'm a hell of a guesser.

He can't arrest you.

It's a foreign country.

He can't take you back.

He's not going to take anybody back.

He's going to wait for us

to pull another job

and then hunt us down.

Let's finish it now, Butch,

one way or the other.

He's got to wait for us

to pull another job.

Well, what if there isn't another job?

He can't arrest us,
