Doc Amos Cochran quotes from Deadwood

Doc Cochran

I see as much misery outta them movin' to justify their selves as them that set out to do harm.

Doc Cochran

I do have some particular competence as to the implications of anatomical anomalies, congenital or consequent of previous illness, and I would hope that you would avail yourself of this notwithstanding my idiosyncrasies and-and-and defects of character.

Doc Cochran

You, Al, are an object lesson in the healing powers of obstinacy and a hostile disposition.

Doc Cochran

I don't know if this is the time for you to stop takin' this laudanum, Mrs. Garrett.

Alma Garret

What a pleasant surprise, doctor. To hear you admit the limits of your knowledge.

Doc Cochran

I take it you've been out on a hoot?

Calamity Jane

I've been drunk awhile; correct. What the fuck is that to you?

Doc Cochran

The question was well meant. Like if you was a farmer, I'd ask ya how the farming was going.

A.W. Merrick

Why did you strike me?

Doc Cochran

To secure your attention.

This is God's purpose, but not knowing the purpose is my portion of suffering.

Doc Cochran

If this is His will, He is a son of a bitch.

This is God's purpose. The not knowing the purpose is my portion of suffering.

Doc Cochran

And is there any pain competing with the not knowing?

I'm not in pain. There are new smells I smell, and there are parts of my body I can't feel, and His—and His love.

Doc Cochran

And you want to continue like this?

As he long as He wills, this must be my part. To be afraid, as well.

Doc Cochran

Well, if this is His will, Reverend, He is a son of a bitch.

Al Swearengen

Hey Doc, how long were you planning on taking before you told me what the fuck was wrong with Jewel?

Doc Cochran

Nothing, nothing she wasn't born with.

Al Swearengen

Mmm, I mean, she told me she was knocked up but I assumed that was her gimp sense of humor.

Doc Cochran

She wants me to brace her leg so her dragging it doesn't drive you crazy.

Al Swearengen

So what'd you tell her?

Doc Cochran

Not to worry about your moods, that you generate those yourself and then you find your excuse for having 'em.

Al Swearengen

Saucy words Doc, good thing you're handy with the snatch.

Doc Cochran

I had an idea for a boot, just now measured her for it.

Al Swearengen

If you treat her as successfully as you did the minister, she'll be kicking up her heels in no fucking time.

Doc Cochran

I will leave you now to pursue another excuse.

E.B. Farnum

Cavalry in camp, Doc. May I number you in the reception committee?

Doc Cochran

Fuck the cavalry and the committee that receives 'em.

Doc Cochran

Jane, for me the female breast long ago lost mystery or allure. Open your goddamn blouse.

Calamity Jane

I'll keep my fucking eyes shut, but I'll know every fucking move you make.

Doc Cochran

Do you speak Chinese?

Francis Wolcott

I do not, sir.

Doc Cochran

However you accomplish communication with that son of a bitch, then the more the disgrace to your soul!

Doc Cochran

You must drink this.

I will not awaken that demon, Doctor.

Doc Cochran

This has nothing to do with demons, Mrs. Ellsworth. This has to do with allaying the pain to get you through. Leave the demons to God and trust the pain to me.

Samuel Fields

Cause I'm a nigger, Doc, that don't care what stands or falls.

Doc Cochran

Hostetler was too.

Samuel Fields

Hostetler was taller than me.
