Over rock, through towns, across rivers, the group is always just behind them. When they finally escape through sheer luck, Butch has another idea, "Let's go to Bolivia".

and he can't take us out of here.

We'll drive him crazy.

We'll outlast the bastard.

We'll go straight.

So you want jobs.

You're from the U.S. of A.,

and you are seeking after employment.

Well, you couldn't have picked

a more out of the way place

in all of Bolivia,

I'll tell you that.

Gracias, Jess.

Ordinarily you've got to wait

to work for Percy Garrison,

but this ain't ordinarily.

Bingo.

You mean there are jobs.

Yes, there are jobs.

There are lots of jobs.

Don't you want to know why?

Yeah, why?

Damn it.

Because I cannot promise to pay you.

Don't you want to know why?

O.K., why?

On account of the payroll thieves,

fellow citizens.

You see, every mine around

gets its payroll

from La Paz.

And every mine around

gets its payroll held up.

Some say it's the Bolivian Bandits,

and some say

that it's the bandidos yanquis.

Could I see that?

Mm-hmm.

Fairly nice-looking piece.

Can you hit anything?

Sometimes.

Hit that.

No, no, son. No, son.

I just want to know,

can you shoot your piece?

Shoot.

Damn it.

Can I move?

Move?

What the hell you mean, move?

I'm better when I move.

Yeah.

Well, considering that I'm desperate

and you're just what I'm looking for,

on top of which

you stem from the U.S. of A.,

we start tomorrow morning.

You mean we got jobs.

Payroll guard.

Damn.

Vmanos a trabajar!

Hey, Chucho!

Chucho!

Oh, don't you remember

Sweet Betsy from Pike

Crossed the high mountains

With her lover Ike

Two yoke of oxen

And a big yalla dog

Tall Shanghai rooster

And one spotted hog

Toodle-dang

hoodie di-do

Doodle-dang hoodie ay

Toodle-dang

hoodie di-do

Doodle-dang hoodie ay

Shanghai ran off

And the cattle all died

Last piece of bacon...

I think they're in the trees up ahead.

In the bushes on the left.

They're in the trees up ahead.

You take the trees,

I'll take the bushes.

Will you two beginners cut it out?

Well, we're just trying

to spot an ambush.

Morons.

I've got morons on my team.

Nobody is going to rob us

going down the mountain.

We have got no money

going down the mountain.

When we have got the money

on the way back,

then you can sweat.

Bingo.

Move it out!

Move it!

We hit this place in June, didn't we?

Jones!

Give me a hand over here.

Who am I, Smith or Jones?

Live.

About a half hour more,

and we can start to worry...

as soon as we get

to that pass up there.

We'll be all right till then.

They might try something here.

No. Better cover up there.

You got to relax, you fellas.

You got to get used to Bolivian ways.

You got to go easy.

Damn it!

Like I do.

Of course, you probably think I'm crazy,

but I'm not.

Bingo.

I'm colorful.

That's what happens

when you live 10 years alone in Bolivia.

You get colorful.

Where are they?

I can't see them.

Let's get out of here.

Tell them to leave the money and go.

Dijen el dinoro...

Dinero... and, uh...

y vayanese.

Que dejemos el dinero y nos vayamos?

Tell them we were hired

to take it back. It's our job.

Tell them the money isn't ours.

El dinero...

no es nuestro.

No, ya no es de ustedes.

Ahora es de nosotros.

Claro.

We'll try telling them again.

It's our job. The money isn't ours.

El dinero no es nuestro.

Lo necesitamos.

Tambin nosotros necesitamos.

What do you think?

Not so good.

Can you take the two on the right?

Kid, there's something I

think I ought to tell you.

I never shot anybody before.

One hell of a time to tell me.

Try for the two on the right

dead center.

That way, if you miss a little,

you'll still hit something.

Go.

Please.

Qu?

Por favor.

Por favor?

Aah!

Well, we've gone straight.

What'll we try now?

There are other ways of

going straight, you know.

There are other ways of going straight.

There's farming.

We could buy a place.

I don't know how to farm.

What about a ranch, then?

I don't know.

The last time we tried ranching

was during our rustling days.

Even then,

we weren't much good at it.

It's hard. Hours are brutal.

No, you got to be a kid

to start a ranch.

Hey.

Hmm?

I might go back ahead of you.

You mean home?

I was thinking of it.

Whatever you want, Etta.

Maybe I'll go.

Hey.

Hmm?

Etta's thinking of, uh,

maybe going home ahead of us.

Whatever she wants.

I'll go, then.

Manos arriba!

How much you got?

It's hardly worth it. Alpoca mine.

I tell you, no more jungle work for me.

You're getting to be an old maid.

Keep your old maid remarks to yourself.

I'll work in the city, in the mountains,

but from now on jungle work is out.

Bandidos yanquis?

Mm-hmm.

Tell them to be quiet.

What's the word?

Quietas.

Quietas.

I tell you,

the jungle's a better

cover for payrolls.

Kid, I got a right to my opinion,

and in my opinion,

there are snakes in the jungle.

I don't work around snakes.

What is this place?

I don't know.

San Vincente, I think.

Comer?

Si, Seor.

Pasen. Juan, ven.

Llvate los caballos.

I don't enjoy jungles.

I don't enjoy swamps.

I don't like snakes.

I don't much care for night work.

B*tch, b*tch, b*tch.

Capitn! Capitn!

Capitn, all en la plaza,

hay una mula de las minas de Alpoca.

Las minas de Alpoca?

S, s. All estn.

Dos hombres la acaban de traer.

Estn comiendo en el

restaurante de mi pap.

El guisado est delicioso.

Para chuparse los dedos.

Si quieren mas, es la

especialidad de la casa,

si quieren mas,

no tengan pena y dganmelo.

Yo estoy aqu para servirles.

Agradezco la visita de tan

distinguidos caballeros.

Muchas gracias.

Para servirles.

Muchas gracias.

S.

The specialty of the house,

and it's still moving.

Well, that settles it.

This place gets no more of my business.

Hey.

What?

What do you think? I

bet it's just one guy.

Don't you get sick of

being right all the time?

Reloading.

That's all I got.

We're going to run out

unless we can get to that

mule and get some more.

I'll go.

This is no time for

bravery. I'll let you.

Loaded.

Hell!

I'm the one that has to go.

Why you?

'Cause I could never give you cover.

You can cover me.

You can see I'm right, can't you?

You go.

Yeah, why am I always so damn smart?

Here.

Go.

O.K.

Go.

Ah!

Is... Is that what

you call giving cover?

Is that what you call running?

If I knew you were going to stroll...

You never could shoot,

not from the very beginning.

And you are all mouth.

Jefe, llega el ejrcito.

Mi capitn.

Dnde estn?

All en la plaza.

Cuntos hombres son?

Dos hombres.

Dos hombres?

Mi capitn, por favor...

Dos?

Bandidos yanquis.

Bandidos yanquis, eh?

S, mi capitn.

Hmm.

Sargento Rico,

desmonten 20 hombres

y vayan con el teniente.

I've got a great idea

where we should go next.

I don't want to hear it.

You'll change your mind.

Shut up!

O.K., O.K.

Your ideas got us here.

Forget it!

I never want to hear

another of your ideas.

All right.

O.K.

Australia.

I figured secretly you wanted to know,

so I told you.

Australia.

That's your great idea?

Oh, boy, it's the latest in...

in a long line.

Australia's no better than here.
