Favorite lines from Deadwood
Ever, not just this week.
Here are some examples I got from browsing HBO's website. I know there are lots of good lines better than these, but these can get you started:
Jack McCall: "Should we shake hands or something, relieve the atmosphere. I mean how stupid do you think I am?"
Wild Bill Hickok: "I don't know, I just met you."
Al Swearengen to Bullock and Star: "Here's my counter-offer to your counter-offer: go f**k yourself."
Brom: "Yes, I quite take your point...." (leaves)
Hickok: "I don't think he took your point, quite."
Utter: I think he quite missed it.
Hickok: "Your husband and me had this talk, and I told him to head home to avoid a dark result. But I didn't say it in thunder. Ma'am, listen to the thunder."
Al Swearengen: "Sometimes I wish we could just hit 'em over the head, rob 'em, and throw their bodies in the creek."
Cy Tolliver: "But that would be wrong. "
Farnum: "Be brief!"
Jane: "Be F*cked!"
Farnum: "Anything the mayor should know?"
Swearengen: "The name of another tailor."
Quartermaster: "That gopher-faced merchants' agent is after our eye teeth, General. I'd rather we reprovision with the f*ckin' Sioux."
Burns, to Wu: "Why don't you learn to speak American?"
Silas Adams: "Why do I feel lucky we didn't meet across a poker table?"
Wolcott: "I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official. "
Adams: "You talk like you take it up the ass."
Mose Manuel: "(unintelligible)"
Jane: "What is that, "Thank you" in whale talk?"
Farnum: "Allow me a moment of silence, Mr. Hearst. I am having a digestive crisis, and must focus on the suppression of its expression."
Nuttall: "I got an idea. Instead of running for office and tending bar, why don't you just tend bar and let people punch you in the face?"
