  • Perry and Smith Meet
  • Can I catch a ride?
  • Sure, I can take you as far as Chicago!
  • Perry and Smith Rob The Chandler Sales Company
  • I can't believe I'm doing this!
  • I can't believe I talked Perry into doing this!
  • Perry and Smith Breakout of Jail
  • Ya! Let's do it!
  • We should escape out this window!
  • This is when Perry first meets Smith in Phillipsburg, Kansas. This is the moment Perry locks his fate: "By July of 1955 he had reached, on the trek to Worcester, a small Kansas town, Phillipsburg, and there 'fate,' in the form of 'bad company,' asserted itself"(Capote 136). If he wouldn't have gone with Smith he wouldn't have ended up in prison, so he would have never met Dick.
  • Smith talked Perry into robbing an office building: "The suggestion was that they burglarize a nearby building, The Chandler Sales Company. Perry agreed, and they broke into the deserted premises and removed a quantity of office equipment (typewriters, adding machines)"(Capote 137). Perry let Smith easily talk him into robbing the company. This shows how easily persuaded Perry is.
  • Perry and Smith were caught by police for ignoring a traffic signal, in Saint Joseph, Missouri. The police took them all the way back to Phillipsburg, to put them in jail. They escaped forty-eight hours later: "Within forty-eight hours Perry and his companion had discovered an open window, climbed out of it, stolen a car, and driven northwest to McCook, Nebraska. 'Pretty soon we broke up, me and Mr. Smith. I don't know what ever became of him. We both made the F.B.I.'s Wanted list. But as far as I know, they never caught up with him'"(Capote 137). If Perry would have just spent his time in prison the F.B.I. wouldn't be chasing him for something even bigger than robbery. He keeps hurting himself with his behavior.
