As Dick and Perry become further apart they soon realize the way they truly feel about each other, finally recognizing their differences. Dick and Perry growing up under completely different circumstances realize that they are not one in the same, sharing no common traits. As Dick realized his distaste for Perry he became more annoyed with the thought of him. While planning his escape in from jail he came to the conclusion as to where he would run off to. As he thought about his glorious future place he made a note to himself that he did not wish to share this luxury with Perry. When thinking about exactly this, he states, “…head to Colorado mountains, and find there a cabin where he could hide until spring (alone, of course; Perry’s future did not concern him)” (263). Dick has completely lost interest in Perry now that he has used Perry to his benefit. Perry, not knowing that Dick has turned on him entirely, turns on Dick as well because he realizes that Dick cannot be trusted. Perry, though at first was determined to continue his life with Dick, showed no sign of caring for Dick after he came to his senses. As Perry plans his escape, he states, “What about Hickock? All preparations must include him” (265). Being naïve he still should signs of affection for his only friend, but he soon saw the light and grasped the fact that Dick was ultimately not truly his friend. Perry soon begins to put down Dick and shows no remorse for him. When he talks about his statement, he says, “I wanted to fix Dick for being such a coward” (255). This shows that Perry no longer has remorse for his so called friend and the two have completely turned on one another.
