I'm not sure. If suddenly a bunch of Bolivian army soldiers or police officers arrived and started shooting at me... And I got shot a few times, I might make plans to go somewhere nice with a lot of easy money making opportunities too to cover up the reality of the situation in their shoes. Their future seemed pretty awesome to me. And perhaps, they didn't see death as simply going from one world to the next. I said, perhaps because it's been a long time since I've seen the movie so I don't remember if they revealed their thoughts on death or not. But deep down inside, would I be so optimistic to really think, I was going to make it out of there? Dude, they've been shot a few times. No medic is going to come for them and there wont be a helicopter ride to a hospital etc... I just realized the Sundance Kid would have made it out of there if he didn't provide covering fire for his best friend, because he could have made a run for it. That's what I call a best friend.
