Sugar Bates quotes from Banshee

Sugar Bates

What would we be without our secrets.

Sugar Bates

Where would we be without women to fuck us up.

Kai Proctor

If any of my employees ever stepped out of line, hassled you in any way, I'd expect you to call me. What I mean is I wouldn't want you to take matters into your own hands.

Sugar Bates

Look at me. Nobody runs from a fight faster than an old fighter.

Sugar

I knew guys like Wicks in prison, guys that never stop digging graves for themselves and then trading everything and everyone to keep from getting buried. [Knocks on door] Eh, Hood, I never saw the paperwork on that Leonard Vanderwick guy. That get filed or...? It wasn't worth the effort. I sent him packing. Guys like that don't go down without taking everyone close down with him. That's their game.

How did he know you anyway?

Sugar

He didn't. Not really. Knew of me, I guess.

And you just... just let him go?

Sugar

Yeah. I didn't want to waste any more time on a vagrant who tried to steal some dinner.

So now you decide which laws are worth enforcing?

Sugar

That's why they gave me the badge.

Yeah, but the rules are different out here.

Sugar

No. Same rules. Same rules they had since the first man picked up the first stick and beat the second man's ass with it.

You have an interesting way of looking at the world.

Sugar

[Chuckles] Yeah, I've lived an interesting life.

[Answers phone] Yes?

Carrie

Tell him it's me. It's her.

Anastasia. I'm ready... to bring him to you.

Carrie

When?

By the end of this week.

Carrie

Where?

I'll let you know. She will bring him. [Starts engine]

Carrie

And just when things finally seem to be nice and boring, you came along. You're welcome. I guess I'm just not cut out for... boring.

Sugar

Why, Colonel, right?

Were you a military man?

Sugar

No, just watch a lot of movies. What's your poison?

Maker's Mark, neat. All this time in Banshee and I've never been in here before.

Sugar

Well, it's... not much to look at, but at least the roof doesn't leak.

Hmm. You know, the craziest thing happened the other day.

Sugar

Did it?

Mmm. Four idiots decided to steal a considerable amount of my money.

Sugar

Is that so?

Mm, but that's not the crazy part. These guys actually thought they were gonna get away with it. See, what you have here is a lose-lose situation. I never lose. [Shoots bottles behind Sugar]

Sugar

Damn it!

Thanks for the drink.

Sugar

Fսck you.

Sugar

Shit, are you okay, Job?

Job

What the fuck kind of stupid-ass question is that?

Sugar

[Chuckles] He's okay. You got any idea how Stowe landed on us?

Job

We got sloppy.

Carrie

Well, he doesn't know everything and that's the only thing keeping us alive until help arrives.

Job

Yeah? And who's gonna help him, hmm? That man has exactly three friends and they all right here.

Sugar

Have some faith, huh?

Job

Have you met me?

Carrie

[Scene of Hood arriving at the army base gates] He's gonna come.

Job

Oh, I know he'll come. He'll take on the whole motherfucking platoon. Might even make it past the front gate. But there's still a shitload of mercs with a shitload of guns between him and us.

Carrie

He'll find a way.

Job

Fuck you, he'll find a way. He ain't your fairy godmother come to make all your dreams come true. How many more times does he have to put his ass on the line for you until he gets his motherfucking head blown off?

Carrie

You're blaming me for this?!

Job

[Screams] I ain't the one who fucked the mark!

Carrie

Oh, fuck you, Job!

Job

No, fuck you, Carrie! Or Ana! Or whatever you call yourself today!

Carrie

If you were so worried...!

Job

How'd your boyfriend know exactly...!

Carrie

...you could have shut this job down...!

Job

...how to take us all down?!

Carrie

I'm a professional!

Job

What the fuck did you let slip?!

Carrie

I didn't tell him anything!

Job

You tell me what you told that motherfucker?!

Carrie

How dare you?!

Sugar

Both of you shut the fuck up! If we're gonna die, then we're gonna die! Have some motherfucking dignity for fuck's sake! Job... if she slipped, the four of us would be dead already. We gonna make it out of here alive, we gotta stick together. Hmm? Yeah?

Sugar

It's gonna be mighty quiet around here.

Job

Don't even pretend like you're gonna miss me.

Sugar

I was talking to Hood.

Lucas

You know, I think I'm actually gonna miss this place.

Job

I know I'm not. Sugar, it's been a thin slice of heaven.

Sugar

I know you don't mean that.

Job

It's true, I don't.

Sugar

You in a rush?

Job

Damn right. Every time I try to get out of this mοtherfսck¡ng place, some shit goes down and I get stuck in it. I'm getting while the getting's good. But before I do... figured I'd pay my tab.

Sugar

[Opens duffel bag full of cash] Where the hell did you get this?

Job

Now, you know better than to ask. Point is, you spent your retirement fund getting me out. Well, you're too old to be slinging drinks, so... Thank you. You know how to reach me?

Sugar

[Scoffs] No one knows how to reach you.

Job

He does.

Lucas

Yeah, I do.

Job

[Opens door] This is where I leave you. Banshee, Pennsylvania... Suck my tit! [Leaves and shuts door]

Sugar Bates

I was just remembering the first time you walked in here. I never could have imagined. You know, some might say you weren't all that bad at that whole sheriff thing.

Lucas Hood

Yeah, and other people might say I was the worst fucking thing that ever happened to this town.

Sugar Bates

Putting that badge on the way you did, I never thought you'd be walking out of here on your own two feet.

Lucas Hood

Neither did I. You know, I probably wouldn't if it wasn't for you.

Sugar Bates

You know you hid up on that mountain because you felt the need to atone for something. And for all we know, you'd still be there if Brock hadn't come and pulled you down. We are cons. We're made to believe that you pay for your sins by getting locked up. But maybe the way to redemption isn't hiding on the mountain. Maybe it's about choosing another road down here with the rest of us.

Lucas Hood

Maybe.

Sugar Bates

The past has kept you locked up long enough. Today there's really only one question left to ask yourself. What are you going to do now?
