did you miss the scene where charlie virtually begs ben to let him hang around and ben pointedly ignores him? (in the saloon, after dismissing the rest of the gang). or how about when ben asks the bar girl to run away to mexico with him? or when ben shoots one of his own gang for no real reason during the coach hold up? or how despite his confidence his gang is coming for him, he's desperate to escape without their help?

wow you're bad at movies. charlie was telling ben where he'd be cause he was trying to convince ben not to hang aruond trying to bang the barmaid when the sheriff and his men would be back any minute. the barmaid not wanting to run away with him was a non-sequiter. he shot his own gang member cause the guy didnt make sure the guards were actually dead, putting everyone in the gang at risk (ben states thats why he shot him). trying to escape even though his gang is comming for him doesnt mean he hates the gang, it means hes not an idiot.
the ending made no sense.

spot on.

to talentdeficit, scene in the saloon went like this: charlie says to crowe, "hey boss, we should gtfo, marshal's only half-stupid, they'll be back soon." crowe tells charlie to go ahead w/o him cuz he wants to sex the hot barmaid. ok genius?

crowe bangs her, then suggests she go to mexico with him. how the f does this show disdain for his crew? it might show that he's tired of life as a bandit, but if he doesn't wanna roll with that gang anymore, he's the frickin' leader! he can leave on a whim, or disband the whole outfit--he doesn't need permission from his crew, and he doesn't need to run away. he's the boss, get it?
