Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
by William Goldman
Butch reflects on the possibility of a new life in South America while hiding out from the law. He expresses a deep-seated weariness of a life spent running and a desperate hope that he can find a place where his criminal past won't follow him.
Trapped and wounded during a final standoff, Butch attempts to distract himself and Sundance from their dire situation by pitching a fantasy of escaping to Australia. He desperately clings to the hope of a fresh start where they can live as legends or honest men without the constant threat of death.
