My favorite scene in this movie is the one where Pike is talking to Earnest Borgnign's character while they are sitting around a fire at there hideout in Mexico after the first robbery. I think that it greatly exemplifies so much of the imagined west. The men substitute bad whiskey for bad coffee and talk about the foolish pride that takes the lives of so many men. angel, the mexican sings a peaceful ballad as they discuss getting out of crime, until they realize that there is nowhere for them to go from here, "back off to what?" As Pike tells Earnest about his plan to get one last score for them all before they quit, he mentions garrisons of army troops all along the border that they could rob...
They'll be waiting for us.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Pike... I wouldn't have it any other way either.
Death looms as the soft ballad carries through the night.
