Awesome. Can we do a whole week with Paul Newman? I hope Cool Hand Luke is next! This is a great opening scene and a perfect way to not only introduce The Sundance Kid but also to show the difference and dynamic between these two characters. Here's how Butch Cassidy is introduced in the script: A MAN idly walking around the corner of the building. He is BUTCH CASSIDY and hard to pin down. Thirty-five and bright, he has brown hair, but most people, if asked to describe him, would remember him blond. He speaks well and quickly, and has been all his life a leader of men; but if you asked him, he would be damned if he could tell you why. Think about this: "he has brown hair, but most people, if asked to describe him, would remember him blond." A chameleon of sorts, a con-man. In this scene he's the "good cop", trying to diffuse the situation. Compare that to Sundance whose introduction in the script is sparse and anonymous and only reads MUSTACHED MAN until his identity is revealed. Then it switches to: THE SUNDANCE KID for that is the name of the Mustached Man. He sits slumped a moment more, his head down. Then he slowly raises his head. His eyes dazzle. He looks dead into Macon's eyes. Still staring, he stands. He too wears guns. His actions and words describes him here. The line "He’s got to invite us to stick around." reminds me of Anton Chigurh and his coin flipping in No Country for Old Men. We get a similar kind of uneasy feeling that anything could happen and that the "choice" is left up to the victim. What's missing in the clip is Butch's call back line as they're walking out: "Like I've been telling you -- over the hill." In the script, Sundance grabs a handful of poker chips, throws them in the air and shoots them all so they shatter, except for one that falls on the floor intact. Butch indicates the intact chip to Sundance and says the line.

Just read the script this weekend. Great selection!
