Butch and Sundance Rob a Train, Explained：in the employ of
A holdup goes sideways because nobody will do the one thing the robbers need. An elderly passenger refuses to be pushed around — "I'm a grandmother and a female, and I've got my rights" — while the railroad man calmly explains why he can't just hand over the money.
あらすじ
Butch and Sundance stop a Union Pacific train and blow open the express car. The man inside, Woodcock, won't turn over the money without a fight of conscience, and an older woman passenger plants herself in the middle of the holdup, daring the robbers to do their worst.

What's really going on
The robbery keeps snagging on pride rather than bullets. Woodcock, the railroad's man, treats the holdup as a matter of personal honor — "there is nobody that I would rather have steal it than you" — but he still won't open the safe, because he is "in the employ of Mr E.H. Harriman." The old woman is the real obstacle: "I've fought whisky and gamblin'! I can certainly fight you!" She turns the robbery into a test of wills, and the robbers, who came for money, find themselves arguing with people who care more about principle than about the cash. It's a holdup where the loot almost doesn't matter.
Theme
CourageAn elderly passenger faces armed robbers and refuses to be silenced, turning a robbery into a standoff.

You're riding on my bicycle. In some Arabian countries that's the same as being married.Butch jokes that letting Etta ride on his bicycle handlebars is as good as a marriage — a charming dodge away from the question she actually asked.
I'm a grandmother and a female, and I've got my rights.Her whole defense in one breath: age, sex, and an appeal to rights, daring the robbers to overrule any of it.
I've fought whisky and gamblin'! I can certainly fight you!She lists the vices she's already beaten to prove the robbers don't scare her; it's a boast, not a plea.
Oh, I'm not afraid of you. I'm not afraid of anything.Pure defiance — she says it flatly, as a fact, which is exactly what unsettles the men holding the guns.
このシーンについての質問
Why won't Woodcock just open the safe?
He insists on his duty: he works for E.H. Harriman and won't rob his own employer's railroad, even while joking that if it were his own money he'd want Butch to be the one to take it.
Why do the robbers need someone to start the train?
They can open the express car and take the money, but they can't drive the locomotive themselves. When the crew won't cooperate, the whole holdup stalls, which is what makes the old woman's defiance so risky.
Who is the grandmother standing up to the robbers?
She's an older woman passenger who refuses to be intimidated during the holdup. She isn't a named character — just someone who insists she has rights and won't back down.
What does 'in the employ of' mean?
It's an old-fashioned, formal way to say you work for someone. Woodcock uses it to explain that he's Harriman's employee and therefore can't hand over the railroad's money.
Why does Woodcock blow the express car himself?
Butch already set charges, but he blew the last one 'so easy' that Woodcock wanted a turn. His stunt frightens the passengers and nearly gets the woman hurt, which is why Butch later scolds him.
