E.B. Farnum quotes from Deadwood

E.B. Farnum

Have we a new Pope?

Al Swearengen

She's some fuck, E.B..

E.B. Farnum

Why, Al?

Al Swearengen

Why, E.B.? Because being present at that meeting and made as you are, blackmail would have proved irresistible and pursuing it would have gotten you murdered.

Al Swearengen

I need your truthful reply. Lie, I will know it, and death will be no respite.

E.B. Farnum

I told Hearst nothing of Bullock and the Widow.

Al Swearengen

I will profane your fucking remains, E.B.

E.B. Farnum

Not my remains, Al.

Al Swearengen

Gabriel's Trumpet will produce you from the ass of a pig.

E.B. Farnum

You told me not to tell him, and I didn't.

Al Swearengen

I believe you.

E.B. Farnum

My pain is such that gives me no solace.

Al Swearengen

Well try not to blame Bullock for presuming it was you considering your fucking history. Anyways, tonight's speeches are fucking canceled. Nurse your fucking wounds.

E.B. Farnum

Thank you.

Al Swearengen

I do not mean here.

It's Hearst. Hearst: is he Caesar, to have fights to the death for diversion? Murder his workers at whim? Smash passages in the fucking wall? A man of less wealth would be in fucking restraints.

Al

We're in the presence of the new.

E.B.

Fuck the fucking new! Jesus Christ, Al. Is it over for us here?

George Hearst

Have you smelt human flesh on the spit?

E.B.

How would I have?

George Hearst

I know the smell.

E.B.

You have been to and fro in the world.

George Hearst

It pleased me to find out.
