EEllsworth

Because them as poke around Miz Garret's workings without a by-your-leave ain't welcome, Mr. Wolcott, and you ought not to repeat your fuckin' mistake.

Well, that's an uncivil response to an innocent error.

EEllsworth

Did you work in the Comstock when you was beardless?

I did.

EEllsworth

For Mr. George Hearst, as a keen eye for the color?

As a geologist for Mr. Hearst. Well, you have the advantage of me, Mr. Ellsworth.

EEllsworth

That ain't a possibility, Wolcott. No more than an error of yours would be innocent.

I do dimly recall an Ellsworth superintended the consolidated Virginia operations.

EEllsworth

I don't give a fuck what you recall.

A hero. Dug a week without respite to save three poor souls from a cave-in.

EEllsworth

And 46 corpses in a fucking hole that ought never to have been dug.

Always a choice... to count the saved or the lost.

EEllsworth

Get off this property.

Just as a man opposed to inevitable change needn't invariably be called a Luddite, another choice might be simply to describe him as slow in his processes.

EEllsworth

You tell that cocksucker you work for the next surrogate he sends oughtn't to be bloodied from the Comstock.

It is no disloyalty to be a realist, Richardson. We are mortal. One hopes for the best. One perseveres. One re-evaluates constantly. One is an asshole if one doesn't. Loyalty expanded is not loyalty betrayed. I contemplate no disloyalty to Al Swearengen. I feel exposed. I don't like being weak, and I know that I am. I yearn to rely on a stronger will. I fear what I'm capable of in its absence. Whereas you, Richardson, know nothing of yourself. Are you shitting or going blind? Or on foot or horseback? You vile fucking lump!

If money had to be clean before it was recirculated we would still be living in fucking caves.
