"I didn't blame him for leaving," Butch said after a while.
"That's big of you," Sundance answered.
"He did what he needed to do."
Then a thought struck Sundance, a terrible thought, and he turned slowly toward Butch. "Please tell me that you are not, in your own completely unqualified way, attempting to give me romantical advice.""'All' meaning, you, me, and the stolen horses?"
Sundance could see the hurt-puppy look returning to his partner's face, but before he had time to decide if he felt bad about it"I was aiming for his hand, all right? You know how you can tell that? Because I hit his goddamn hand."
"Two years?! Your plan is that we pull a job with a gang we don't have on a railroad that ain't gonna exist for two years?"
"Never hurt anybody to plan for the long term." He rolled his head back against Sundance's shoulder, and the gleam in his eye was more than just a reflection of the flame.
There were a lot of things Sundance could have said: that if there were ever two men who had no business planning in the long term, it was the two of them right here and now. -

Butch held the hat out in the firelight. Sundance didn't get it at first, then Butch reached out and stuck his finger in a small hole near the crown. He wiggled it. "That boy's gun went off when you shot at him. Had to come down somewhere, right?" Sundance snatched the hat, put his own finger through the hole, and stared.
He threw the hat down. He could see it all vividly, as though it had happened. The bullet off by a fraction of an inch, blood blossoming out of Butch's forehead and surging from his mouth as he looked up with the blank eyes of a dead man.
Butch laughed.
"It's not funny!" Sundance would have killed them all, of course. He would have put a bullet between each guard's eyes, including the two smiling men who had nothing to do with it. But it wouldn't have given him anything that mattered. It would have left him with a body to carry, to bury, would have left him with nothing, and he knew in that moment this was the one possibility he had never considered, never thought of how to live with. He had no idea how he could have gone on without Butch.
