You are who you were

You said you changed, your wife changed you, but you didn't.
You say that you are old, and the children make you worry about it, but that's not the case.
You say "Never let my child know what I was like in the past! I am afraid of dying!" In fact, you are not afraid.
You are the same you were before, the ruthless, murderous William "Bill" Munny.

It's not that you don't want to change, it's not that you don't want to take care of the children more, it's that you don't worry about dying. It's just that you can't choose what kind of person you want to be in that environment where the weak and the strong eat. You are you, the jerk who kills when you see someone and does nothing wrong.

Leave, this is the only thing you can do. Leave the grassland you are familiar with, leave those cattle and sheep, and take your children to San Francisco. What is left is a terrible legend that people talk in silence, and no one dared to shout loudly.

  • The Schofield Kid: Like I was saying, you don't look no meaner-than-hell, cold-blooded, damn killer.

    Will Munny: Maybe I ain't.

    The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, Uncle Pete says you was the meanest goddamn son-of-a-bitch alive, and if I ever wanted a partner for a killin', you were the worst one. Meaning the best, on account as your's as cold as the snow and you don't have no weak nerve nor fear.

    Will Munny: Pete said that, huh?

    The Schofield Kid: Yeah, yeah he did. I'm a damn killer myself. 'Cept, uh, I ain't killed as many as you because of my youth.
