One of the lines we hear is from an "old movie": > > "Who ARE those guys?!?" This is from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Butch, the Kid and the gang pull a train robbery and as they're making their getaway, a bunch of riders jumps out of boxcars and take off after them. They throw away the money, and the gang falls behind, but they pursuers keep on coming after Butch and the Kid. This is the question they keep asking each other after each new desperate ploy fails to shake their pursuers. Amusing allusion in this situation. I can't remember exactly who the pursuers are. I beleive they're Pinkerton's guards (maybe Pinkerton himself?) hired by the railroad company to capture Butch and the Kid to put an end of the robberies. If I remember it right they finally escape by jumping off a cliff into a river. "Whaddya mean, you can't swim?!?!" is another famous line. Don.

I know where the line "Who are those guys!" comes from. Everybody and his brother has posted it to the net. STOP. NOW!
