when you started this?

JOE:
Nineteen years old.

When was the first time

you went to jail?

JOE:

Uh,that Roundout train robbery.

CARSON:
Yeah.

I thought you were going

to put that on and stick me up.

[Laughter]

JOE:
You thought I was gonna...

CARSON:
I thought you--Yes.

JOE:
You thought

I was reachingfor my pistol?

CARSON:
I thought you were

putting your mask on and...

Old habits die hard,

don't they,Joe?

Let me ask you something.

If you had to do it over again,

you wouldn't recommend this.

JOE:
No.

We was crazy for doing it.

But you're young then.

Somebody said, "Why didn't

you invest that money?"

I said, "Who wants a better job

than what we already got?"

That's what we thought then.

I need money,

go out and rob another bank.

CARSON:

But you wouldn't recommend that?

JOE:
I wouldn't recommend that.

We was crazy for doing it.

WlLLlS:
When I first begin

to think of robbing banks...

I never thought

of hurting anybody.

And I knowed

all them bankers was rich...

and they didn't care about

hurtin' us poorfarmers.

So why should I care

about hurting them?

Why shouldn't I steal from 'em?

It's just one thief

a-stealin' from another.
