Yoga and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
When I hit the rowing machine and the yoga mat, I usually channel surf to keep from going crazy watching the odometer. So, a cable channel was playing this vintage 1969 classic. Some great lines of dialogue, as for instance in THE BIG JUMP:
Butch Cassidy: I'll jump first.
Sundance Kid: Nope.
Butch Cassidy: Then you jump first.
Sundance Kid: No, I said!
Butch Cassidy: What's the matter with you?!
Sundance: I can't swim!
Butch Cassidy: [laughing] Why, you crazy — the fall'll probably kill ya!
OR IN THE SCENE WHERE THEY DECIDE TO GO TO BOLIVIA::
Sundance Kid: [to Etta] 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.
Butch Cassidy: Don't sugarcoat it like that, Kid. Tell her straight.
Etta Place: I'm 26, and I'm single, and a school teacher, and that's the bottom of the pit. And the only excitement I've known is here with me now. 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.
