Justified TV series

Wynn Duffy: The point is, Mr. Crowder, when he asks me, and he will, where Robert Quarles is, does Theo Tonin sound like the kind of man to whom youd like to say, Im sorry, but he escaped from a disease-ridden whore factory up in inbred holler?!

— Justified TV series man

Art Mullan: I mean, he shoots Theo Tonin, fakes his own death in spectacular fashion, pushes a guy out of an airplane while hes flying it, parachutes into Harlan county with enough coke and cash to jumpstart the economy of small country, and then he has the balls to get a job in law enforcement, not once, but two times! He spends a couple days riding around with you while youre looking for him, and now hes run off with a hooker half his age. Thats some badass shit.

— Justified TV series death

Ethan Picker: You know, Sammys already pissed we went after the ex-wife. He wants us to come home now and kiss his new ring. You think its smart to keep him waiting?

— Justified TV series art

Johnny Crowder: You know what hes doing now, Raylan? Hes buying a house in the goddamn suburbs! Up there on Clover Hill, because the man is in love.

— Justified TV series love

Raylan Givens: Okay, maybe Im crazy, or Im just having a hell of a day: did you just give me an order?

— Justified TV series hell

Raylan Givens: Why not? Isnt that the way you guys do it? Isnt that why Tom Bergens dead while his wife and children are grieving? So, you know what? Now were gonna play by your rules.

— Justified TV series children

Wynn Duffy: Alberto, was it? Alberto, Im not one to niggle over management styles, but lets say you would have let me know you were coming, I would have preserved some proof for you. A head, say, or a set of teeth?

— Justified TV series men

Winona Hawkins: Well, you do a good job of hiding it, and I suppose most folks dont see it, but honestly, youre the angriest man I have ever known.

— Justified TV series man

Art Mullen: I got a call this morning from AUSA David Vasquez. Wants to talk to you about you shooting Boyd Crowder.

— Justified TV series art

Art Mullen: But you see, ten days ago you shot a man in Miami. Put it like this: you were in the first grade; bit a kid every week? Theyd start to think of you as a biter.

— Justified TV series art

Tim Gutterson: Three days. Shitty little village outside Kandahar. You watch a man that long, you can get to know him better than his wife does. How he reads the paper, picks his nose, what glass he likes for tea, what one for milk. If he jerks off, what he looks at when he does. If hes nice to the dog when no ones around.

— Justified TV series man

Tim Gutterson: Well, nothing elaborate. Imagine taking Shirley to the movies, watching Price is Right, eating takeout Chinese. They eventually stopped that, the business with the stories.

— Justified TV series business

Tim Gutterson: They found some folks get so involved in the tales theyre telling themselves, they grow to like the target. And when they got the green light, they couldnt pull.

— Justified TV series light

Douglas Cooper: Well, from all the lotions, condoms, and devices I saw sitting on your nightstand, its clear youre sleeping with somebody.

— Justified TV series sleep

Art Mullen: Raylan, I got a courtesy call from the Harlan County Sheriffs Department — your daddy was arrested.

— Justified TV series art

Raylan Givens: I got sent here, I think because they knew it was the one place I didnt want to go. In fact, as I recall, Winona and I promised each other wed never come back here.

— Justified TV series think

Raylan Givens: Tim, when you were working with Pinter, you ever come across a guy looks like a black Mr Clean? Dresses like the janitor in a rap video.

— Justified TV series work

Arnold Pinter: I hate it here. Kentucky. I hate every one of these toothless, banjo strumming, red neck pricks. No offence.

— Justified TV series hate

Rachel Brooks: And you being a tall, good-looking white man with a shitload of swagger, that has nothing to do with it? You get away with just about anything.

— Justified TV series man

Rachel Brooks: Look in the mirror. How do you think itd go over if I came into work one day wearing a cowboy hat? You think Id get away with that?

— Justified TV series work

Raylan Givens: I can only imagine how hard it has been for you to get where you are in the Marshal service

— Justified TV series you

Joe: Cause its a movie! That dont happen, then theres no movie. No messy car, no cleaner. I mean, what do they do? They drive home, jerk off, take a nap?

— Justified TV series home

Raylan Givens: I figure people have a right to their hobbies and I have a right to find those people creepy.

— Justified TV series people

Karl Hanselman: Next time youre in Cincinnati, come by the gallery, Ill show you my collection. I think youll be quite surprised.

— Justified TV series time

Karl Hanselman: My father grew up in Germany, in Munich, before the war. He was very poor. He saw the wealthy of his city, and he wanted what they had. But there was no way someone like him could ever hope to rise to that. And then along came a very charismatic man who knew who was to blame, and my father followed him. Publicly, after the war, my father recanted everything the Reich stood for. But he never did in his heart. In private, after some wine, he would say that his years working for Hitler were the best of his life. His proudest achievement was when Hitler selected him to run a team that went through the country, reacquiring the Fuhrers old paintings. I hated my father. So, this has been my project. I buy Hitlers shitty paintings, and I burn them.

— Justified TV series life

Hunter Mosley: You know what they say about back woods cabins in Harlan, theyre like assholes, sawed off shotguns and pick-up trucks.

— Justified TV series you

Hunter Mosley: You know, I put Bo away five years ago. He was running drugs up through Harlan. Wasnt selling, more of a conduit for shit flowing up from the South. But my problem with the Crowders started a while before that. You remember Henry Crowder?

— Justified TV series art

Hunter Mosley: Until one day, eight years ago, he picked up a 10-year-old little girl, drove her over to Pine Mountain Forest, tied her up—

— Justified TV series day

Hunter Mosley: I spent years searching high and low. Never found him. But I rode them Crowders hard. Some folks say thats why I put Bo away for his drug running.

— Justified TV series running

Hunter Mosley: Well, they want rainbows and unicorns. God damn it, Red! Catch up! What do you think they want? They want Raylan Givens.

— Justified TV series god

Hunter Mosley: Well, you mean like one of those police chases on TV? Helicopter following some dipshit through the streets? You know, when that idiot finally crashes, you ever notice how many get out and run? If youre like me, youre yelling at the TV, What the hell you running for, asshole? We gonna get you! And we always do, right? Except we dont, really. You know that. Not always. They just dont show the ones that get away on TV.

— Justified TV series man

Hunter Mosley: If Ive got a one-in-a-hundred, Hell, if Ive got a one-in-a-million shot, Im gonna take it.

— Justified TV series hell

Bo Crowder: You all right, daughter-in-law? You look like you just walked on your own grave. What, are you surprised to see me? I figured that Raylan Deputy Marshal Givens would have told you I was getting out. Especially since hes the one that got my sentence cut by 87 days and a wake-up.

— Justified TV series sin

Bo Crowder: By taking down Sheriff Hunter. All the cases that got made by that lying son of a bitch are now liable to be reopened. So, the US Attorney decided that anybody with a sentence less than six months wasnt worth retrying. Gave us all early release. God bless America.

— Justified TV series god

Bo Crowder: Actually, I was just telling my daughter-in-law how the one thing that separates the pie we get inside from a nice piece, like this one here, is the smell. I mean, there aint nothing in the world like it. You know what, girl? I think Im gonna have to lick your plate.

— Justified TV series world

Bo Crowder: The last man that put his hands on me like that, I beat him until his eyes bled. I guess its a lucky thing for both of us that I aint a convict any more, aint it?

— Justified TV series man

Wynn Duffy: With one phone call, I was able to discover that the deposition you were scheduled to work this afternoon had been cancelled, letting me know that youd be home early, and likely be home alone. Imagine what a genuine predator would have been able to do with that information.

— Justified TV series work

Wynn Duffy: The police are just a janitorial service used to clean up your blood after youve been murdered.

— Justified TV series murder

Cal Wallace: Hey, shooter? You got much experience with this sort of thing? Negotiating with a barricaded suspect?

— Justified TV series experience

Cal Wallace: Well, youre doing a good job so far. You have established a rapport with the subject. But now you got to make a determination. Is the subject emotionally disturbed? Well, you got an opinion on that?

— Justified TV series good

David Vasquez: You must be glad to finally find a professional use for your office bottle, huh, Chief?

— Justified TV series you

Art Mullen: I dont know what youre talking about. I was just as surprised to find that in here as anybody else.

— Justified TV series art

Wynn Duffy: Listen, I dont know how youre associated with Mr. Hawkins, or why, but Im gonna give you this opportunity to extricate yourself from his predicament before you get involved in something that, quite frankly, you dont want to be involved in.

— Justified TV series men

Toby Griffin: And Im gonna give you a minute to extricate yourself up out my face before I have to paint your office with your shit.

— Justified TV series pain

Wynn Duffy: Of what? The land? What am I, a farmer? Show me the cash, Emmitt, or I swear to God Im gonna get a machete and a blowtorch, and Im gonna make your body as small as I possibly can!

— Justified TV series god

Boyd Crowder: You know what Rome looked like before it became Rome, dont you? Some huts on the side of a hill, Little stream running through it. What it became well, as they say, it didnt happen in a day.

— Justified TV series you

Raylan Givens: Hey, uh, I was at the office earlier. One of the other deputies was reviewing your cases. He found one that was curious. A fella name of Kit McKendrie.

— Justified TV series you

Raylan Givens: Oh, my mistake, Im sorry. Yes, of course, Art Mullen, chief deputy of this office, my boss. I thought you guys had met that night I shot you, but of course you were unconscious by the time he showed up.

— Justified TV series time

Boyd Crowder: Raylan, were getting precipitously close to the moment I ask to have my lawyer present.

— Justified TV series men

Bo Crowder: That day I came to pick you up at big Sandy and I asked you to work some hours to help me rebuild my business and you said you wanted to walk another path, well, I reacted poorly. Thats why I came too see you today, son, to say Im sorry, to beg your forgiveness and your indulgence.

— Justified TV series work

Bo Crowder: The smoke from your blast sent a signal across all of Harlan County. I got people lining up with cash in their hands, begging me for protection.

— Justified TV series people

Boyd Crowder: Cause I know where it comes from. The bible tells us that a gift blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

— Justified TV series words

Bo Crowder: Well, then lets just consider it an offering, my tithes to your church of the last this, that, or the other.

— Justified TV series church

Arlo Givens: No, Bo, I invited you over to tell you you have to do something about your son Boyd. He has gone clear off the deep end.

— Justified TV series you

Bo Crowder: Well, shit, at least he hasnt joined the other team, become a goddamn Marshal for Christs sake.

— Justified TV series god

Bo Crowder: I got control over my boy. Can you say the same about yours? He comes to town, its to ruin the likes of you and me.

— Justified TV series control

Bo Crowder: You know, I may not own a private plane or a fancy car, and when you look at me, you probably just see some dumb redneck who likes to eat roadkill for breakfast and have sex with his cousins. I dont eat roadkill, I dont screw my relatives, and I didnt just get off of no short bus. So for you to bring me all the way down here to threaten me, as if I didnt already fully understand the stakes of our business agreement? Hoss, thats just downright insulting.

— Justified TV series sex

Boyd Crowder: Well, as many of you good people may remember, I was a hateful man, and I was a sinful man. Seeking my way through the darkness, looking for salvation in worldly things! And evil things. Like Saul on the road to Damascus, I was long gone on a sinful journey, when the light of the Lord shone upon me on my deathbed in a prison hospital. And, brothers and sisters, Im here to tell you today that bullet missed my heart, but it struck my soul. It struck it. For I was blinded. I was blinded. I could no longer see ungodly truth. For if any man be born again in Christ is a new creature, well, I am a new. a new creature! I am a new creature!

— Justified TV series truth

Boyd Crowder: Now - Now, Jesus entered a temple in Jerusalem. He found moneylenders buying and selling where they should have been a-praying. He called their church a den of thieves. And he turned over their tables. He cast out the robbers! He cast them out! He cast them out! Hallelujah! He cast them out! And like Jesus, like Jesus, like Jesus, we must never be afraid to strike out against those who practice evil! We must take the high road of righteousness, even if it means walking, walking and leaving our own flesh and blood behind. Because there is no greater piety, brothers and sisters, - than the love of God. Amen to that! He is my one true father. There is no other. There is no other, Preacher. Theres no other.

— Justified TV series love

Bo Crowder: As a churchgoing man, I admire your turnaround, Boyd. I could never walk the path, though I understood its virtue. Your change has been remarkable, son. Having said that, you are getting severely goddamn close to meeting your maker.

— Justified TV series god

Boyd Crowder: You know, I continue to tell myself that you are not an evil man, because I believe that in your heart, you have the ability to do the right thing. But I will tell you something, Daddy, and you mark my words. Now, you bring meth into our homes, and I will destroy it.

— Justified TV series art

Bo Crowder: You know whats funny? You destroy me or my shit, its the same thing as destroying yourself. That there is Crowder gospel. You mark them damn words, son.

— Justified TV series funny

Boyd Crowder: For years I lusted after you, and I was far from subtle. Well, that was wrong. And not only because you were my brothers wife, but because it was unseemly, unwanted and it made you uncomfortable.

— Justified TV series lust

Boyd Crowder: No Raylan, Im gonna bet my life on you being the only friend I have left in this world.

— Justified TV series life

Raylan Givens: Alright look, Ive tried to be reasonable. You give me your word in ten seconds or I shoot you in the head.

— Justified TV series reason

Raylan Givens: Woah woah, okay. Im just gonna ask you one question. Do you know how a firearm works?

— Justified TV series work

Raylan Givens: The key word in firearm is fire. When the pin hits the cap, makes the charge explode, meaning theres a spark, which should be of some concern to a man soaked in gasoline.

— Justified TV series man

Raylan Givens: You didnt finish school, did you, Mr. Dean? Its not the liquid that burns. Its the fumes. Now, look. Now look, normally I would have just shot you myself the second you pulled, but I am doing my level best to avoid the paper work and the self-recrimination that comes with it, though Lord knows that you are the kind that makes it worth it more. Come on, Jimmy, cant we just try to end this without you turning yourself into the Human Torch?

— Justified TV series work

Mags Bennett: Ill raise her myself. Dont you think thatll be better for her? Then the way its been around here with you and your sadness. All the troubles of your hard life, its all gone now. You get to know the mystery, Walt. You get to see your Sally Ann again.

— Justified TV series life

Tim Gutterson: I cant carry a tune. I dont know how to shoot a basketball and my handwriting is, uh, barely legible. But I dont miss.

— Justified TV series writing

Raylan Givens: I saw a man threaten to shoot a pregnant woman through the belly, just before a bullet went through his brain so I guess you could say, it wasnt good.

— Justified TV series man

Art Mullen: I dont guess Avas looking to spend time with you. And I think I would remember if it was me.

— Justified TV series time

Dewey Crowe: You know, Boyd for a guy who supposedly changed, you sound an awful lot like you always did.

— Justified TV series change

Boyd Crowder: I was wondering if back when we were digging coal together that you had an inkling of the man that I might someday become.

— Justified TV series man

Rachel Brooks: When I was Nicks age, before my fathers cancer, I thought we were the Cosbys. My parents had good jobs, there was a feast on the table after church on Sundays. Shawnee and I would ride our Huffys around the neighborhood. We had good hair, and made straight As. Except, as my mother reminds me, that wasnt reality. The jobs werent all that good, and my father was never a happy man even before he got sick. And Shawnee was smoking pot at 9 and running away to smoke heroin at 15.

— Justified TV series reality

Tim Gutterson: At least you got to shoot your father. Mine had the nerve to die before I got back from Basic with skills and a loaded weapon.

— Justified TV series you

Boyd Crowder: Because its what I do. Its who I am, Ava. As hard as Ive been trying to pretend otherwise. Everybody else seems to know that but me.

— Justified TV series body

Tom Bergen: Art, Ive been in Harlan 18 years. People still look at me like Im some kinda Yankee come down to burn their crops. But this guy

— Justified TV series art

Mags Bennett: Cashing McCreadys draw checks? How long did you think itd take before thatd come back on us?

— Justified TV series you

Mags Bennett: You shut your mouth! Cause youre crippled to the point of worthlessness it aint you down on that table. As it is, I have to hurt Coover. And I like Coover.

— Justified TV series hurt

Boyd Crowder: Now sir, I know you have an investigation to conduct but if you disrespect Ava one more time, Im gonna come across this table.

— Justified TV series time

Art Mullen: I think a threat against a federal officer would be a little more specific. Something more along the lines of, If you disrespect Miss Crowder again Ill beat the ever loving shit out of ya.

— Justified TV series art

Carter Hayes: You mean that girl from this morning? She didnt seem so innocent. Does she taste as good as she looks?

— Justified TV series art

Wynn Duffy: Our history, indeed. I took a bullet, lost seven pints of blood, and eighteen inches of intestine. I had the surgeons keep it for me as a memento of that day preserved in Lucite. Would you like to see it?

— Justified TV series history

Boyd Crowder: Raylan. Raylan, I would never presume to tell you how to do your job and I understand that I am very new in this security game. However, I have spent a considerable amount of time hiding explosives. Now if you would like, Id be more than happy to walk around here with you, show you where would I hide mine, in case there might be a place that you might miss.

— Justified TV series time

Raylan Givens: The truth is, I dont know if you can trust Boyd to have your back but well, he has tried to kill me, and I have shot him, and imprisoned him and I wouldnt be surprised if our paths again cross in such a manner. He has had my back on two occasions. Once was the last day I was in the mine, and the other not so long ago.

— Justified TV series truth

Raylan Givens: Okay. Well, Im on assignment by the federal government. Youre a hired gun thug for a crooked company. Now, the only thing that were on the same side of is, like, this car.

— Justified TV series men

Mags Bennett: Yeah, its not easy being a strong woman. Take it from me. But you just keep doing what youre doing. Dont let them see you sweat.

— Justified TV series man

Mags Bennett: Apparently, Black Pike is here to help us realize Gods great plan. And all theyre asking us to let them do, is cut the top off our mountain. Well, my people pioneered this valley when George Washington was president of the United States. And as long as weve been here, the storys always been the same: the big money men come in, take the timber and the coal and the strength of our people. And what do they leave behind? Poundments full of poison slurry and valleys full of toxic trash! Yeah! You know what happens when 500 million gallons of slurry breaks loose? The gates of hell open!

— Justified TV series god

Mags Bennett: The gates of hell open, and all that waste rolls down through the hollers and poisons the water and the land and everything it touches! Mining company has a has a word for those leavings doesnt it? The spoil. The spoil! And that is what our lives will be if Black Pike has their way with our mountain.

— Justified TV series live

Carol Johnson: With all due respect, Mrs. Bennett, Black Pike will replace the mountaintops and leave money a lot of money in the pockets of the working people of Bennett and Harlan counties.

— Justified TV series people

Mags Bennett: Well, thats something to consider. Cause it aint an easy life here. No, maam. To an outsider, its probably hard to understand why were all not just lining up and saying, Where do we sign? But we got our own kind of food, our own music. Our own liquor! We got our own way of courting, and raising children! And our own way of living and dying. And to protect all that, we have got to say No, thank you to Miss Carol Johnson here and Black Pike Mining.

— Justified TV series life

Mags Bennett: You wouldnt be the first who tried, Missy Thing. Now, sit your bony ass down and listen to my counteroffer while theres still pieces of you big enough to find!

— Justified TV series you

Boyd Crowder: My name is Boyd Crowder. You can come after me if you want but it will be the last thing you ever do, I promise you that.

— Justified TV series you

Raylan Givens: Well I gotta talk to some people alone. So Either you let me go, or Im gonna have to give you the slip.

— Justified TV series people

Mags Bennett: But I was the one that let him become a nitwit. Now, Im not taking the blame, mind you. Coover had plenty of time to straighten himself out. And you did save Loretta. Saved me from living out my days with her blood on me. Im not sure it makes us exactly even, but I made a deal with your Aunt Helen to keep the lid on, and I intend to honor it.

— Justified TV series time

Doyle Bennett: If the police chief wants to kill a guy, he aint got to send anyone. He just waits for the guy to show up on his turf, and he rolls up on him with a bunch of his police officers. You know, that way, he can make it look like the guy died resisting arrest. Or if that dont fly, well, hell, he could just, uh, disappear the body down an old, boarded-up mine shaft.

— Justified TV series hell

Raylan Givens: As long as you understand that the next time we have this conversation, it wont be a conversation.

— Justified TV series time

Mags Bennett: Dickie, I swear. Your actions jeopardize my plans in any way, I will let you swing for it.

— Justified TV series action

Raylan Givens: Of course I do. This is who we are, Dickie. This is who weve always been. Givens, Bennetts going on what? Nearly a hundred years now. And this is how it ends. It can just end.
