LOike Butch and Sundance--
"Let's go over the rules before the fight..."
"Rules??? There are no rules in this fight"
"Okay!" upon which Butch (Paul Newman) proceeds to hoof his nemesis in the
groin. End of fight.
I always thought that was great. As was the scene brfore when Butch is
talking to Sundance--"If I lose this fight, kill him" "My Pleasure" says
Sundance, as he waves to the opponent, smiling...
I seem to be in 'Movie Mode' today--must be 'cause I saw Olivia and Mickey
Rooney last night.
