Many who came of age with the 1969 movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" can still quote by heart lines from its William Goldman screenplay. Here are some of the best:

Butch: What happened to the old bank? It was beautiful.

Guard: People kept robbing it.

Butch: Small price to pay for beauty.


Gambler: What's the secret of your success?

Sundance: Prayer.


A marshal to Butch and Sundance: Your time is over and you're going to die bloody.


Sundance: You just keep thinking, Butch. That's what you're good at.


Butch (about the seemingly unstoppable trackers): Who are those guys?


Butch to Sundance: You jump first.

Sundance: No, I said.

Butch: What's the matter with you?

Sundance: I can't swim.

Butch: . . . . The fall will probably kill you.


Butch: The future's all yours, you lousy bicycles.

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
