Hm.  I don't remember that from the movie, and haven't read the book yet,
but...

I believe that quote probably comes from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
Butch and Sundance are trying to escape the wrath of <whatsisname>, the
president of the railroad they keep robbing.  They try for days to shake
the posse that's following them, and at one point Butch utters the line
you mentioned.  This is shortly before they take the jump into the river.
("I can't swim!"  "Ya fool, the *fall*'ll probably kill ya!"  "OHHH SHIIiit..")
