TV shows - Deadwood
“Pain or damage don’t end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man… and give some back” - Al Swearengen
Do not repeat back to me, what I just said in different fuckin’ words! - Al Swearengen
“You’ve added a fucking irrelevancy.”
“A human being in his last extremity is a bag of shit.”
“I imagine the pool that spawned you. I am filling it with rocks”
“Your duties will be to answer like a dog when I call… behavior in short which displeases me will bring you a smack on the snout. When administered by a practiced hand, such a blow can be more painful and grievous”
You got a carriage to catch? Slow the fuck down.
“Because opinion solicited does not equal one freely voiced” - Al to Dan.
“You are an entangled inebriate, are you not”
Every fucking beating I’m grateful for. Every fucking one of them. Get all the trust beat out of you then you know what the fucking world is.
I may have fucked my life up flatter than hammered shit, but I stand here today beholden to no human cocksucker. - Mr. Ellsworth
In life you have to do a lot of things you don’t fucking want to do. Many times, that’s what the fuck life is, one vile fucking task after another.
Charlie Utter: You don’t fucking sleep! I don’t know what in the fuck is happening to you, Bill.
Bill: So you stayed in camp to tuck me in?
Charlie Utter: If you don’t want to prospect, I could put you in charge of that mail route I’m getting.
Bill: I’s doing what I wanna do.
Charlie: Bullshit.
Bill: Some goddamned time, a man’s due to stop arguing with hisself. Feeling he’s twice the goddamned fool he knows he is. Because he can’t be something he tries to be every goddamned day without once getting to dinnertime and not fucking it up. I don’t wanna fight it no more. Understand me, Charlie? And I don’t want you pissing in my ear about it. Can you let me go to hell the way I want to?
Charlie: Yeah. I can do that.
Sounds like its tighter out there than a bull’s ass in fly season. - Wild Bill Hickock, Deadwood
I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you, but I enjoy the way you lie. You conniving, heavy thumbed motherfucker. - Mr. Ellsworth
Excuse my ill humor. Certain people wear on my fucking nerves. - Jane
Those who can’t abide a God-damned fool get slowed down some in retail. - Sol
All’s I can say, while you were out winning the battle, I hope you didn’t lose the fucking war. -Swearengen
Don’t do that Charlie. Don’t trumpet my intentions. Don’t herd me like a damn steer. - Wild Bill
I’d rather be lucky than smart. - Doc Cochran
I just know when I am out of my depth. - Dan Dority
Say what you’re gonna say or prepare for eternal fucking silence. -Swearengen
No better port in a storm. - Cy Tolliver
Luck is what you want to congratulate me on. Mr. Ellsworth
I just fled the place in horror at his fucking dimwittedness. -Swearengen
You gotta be able to sustain a though. You gotta be able to remember fucking instructions. -Swearengen
Don’t give me this “on the one hand, on the other hand” bullshit. Just say, “This is the way I think it’s gonna be”, because this “several hands” fucking shit don’t help me. -Swearengen
You need to sit there and tough your way through your problem. - Cy Tolliver
Charlie Utter: I’ll tell you what. Something’s ready for you to do something, don’t seem to matter if you’re ready or not.
Joanie Stubbs: Better lift your skirts and jump, huh?
Charlie Utter: That’s what’s coming to be to be true.
Jewel: How do I look?
Doc Cochran: How do you feel’s the goddamn question.
Jewel: I feel good.
Doc Cochran: Well, good.
General principle, I believe in fostering people’s tries at improving their selves. - Cy Tolliver
Don’t ever say I am not a gentleman. - Charlie Utter
It’s no picnic, is it, running a business? - Cy Tolliver
Them that’s dead is gone. We give them to God and move on. - Cy Tolliver.
I guess there’s no burning rush. Mr. Ellsworth
What brings a gun to the temple is lack of gainful occupation and of being useful to others. - Cy Tolliver
George Hearst: My intention in making my sacrifice to you today, and it seems, my life’s great challenge, was to show the virtue of consolidating purposes. (agreeing to what Swearengen asked him).
Swearengen: I’d say that’s naming horseshit virtue. Purposes butt up against each other, and the strong call “consolidating” bending the weak to their will.
Not throwing my hands up or my skirt over my head don’t mean I ain’t awestruck. - Swearengen
(about doing harm to other people when he is angry)
George Hearst: But I should say too that, in these rooms just this afternoon, such displeasure brought me near to murdering the sheriff and… raping Mrs. Ellsworth. I have learned through time, Mr. Tolliver, and as repeatedly seem to forget, that whatever temporary comfort relieving my displeasure brings me, my long-term interests suffer.
Ambition and the blessed simplicities of action don’t always quarter in comfort. - Jack Langrishe
Aunt Lou: Could I have a swig?
Jane: Now that is the first giant step towards long-term understanding and friendship.
