Raylan Givens quotes from Justified

Raylan Givens

You ever consider I happen to be good at the job?

Rachel Brooks

And you being a tall, good-looking white man with a shitload of swagger, that has nothing to do with it? You get away with just about anything.

Raylan Givens

What do I get away with?

Rachel Brooks

Look in the mirror. How do you think it'd go over if I came into work one day wearing a cowboy hat? You think I'd get away with that?

Raylan Givens

Want to try it on?

Raylan Givens

I can only imagine how hard it has been for you to get where you are in the Marshal service

Rachel Brooks

Because I'm black or because I'm a woman?

Raylan Givens

Because you're an idiot.

Raylan Givens

Looks like we have a sniper on the Mexican side.

Well, that's not going to help tourism.

Raylan Givens

Are you armed?

Well, I just had my dick in my hand.

Art Mullen

You've been in here for three days, and you've got no sign.

Rachel Brooks

Not no sign. His ex-wife has been packing in a lot of beer.

Art Mullen

Well, get a search warrant.

Rachel Brooks

Can't get a warrant based on beer consumption.

Art Mullen

How do you know?

Raylan Givens

We tried.

Raylan Givens

[about Arlo] Why can't you bail him out?

Helen Givens

Those are the first words out of your mouth?

Raylan Givens

I'm sorry, I'll start again. I see you're still smoking.

Helen Givens

You still piss in your bed?

Raylan Givens

No, you see, I gave up my bad habits.

Arlo Givens

I heard about you shooting Boyd.

Raylan Givens

Hmm.

Arlo Givens

All I need is a bunch of Crowders wanting revenge on a Givens.

Raylan Givens

Well, I think I'm higher up on their list.

Johnny Crowder

You shot my cousin.

Raylan Givens

No, no. God shot Boyd. Ask him. He'll tell you I saved his soul.

Ava Crowder

You're tarnished with the dark stain of D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Raylan Givens

My marriage ended a little bit more amicably than yours.

Ava Crowder

Funny, why did your marriage end?

Raylan Givens

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Art Mullen

Are you cold standing out here?

Raylan Givens

[without his shirt on] Not really. Why?

Art Mullen

'Cause I can't keep from staring at your nipples!

Raylan Givens

I'll be out in ten.

Art Mullen

Thank you!

Next time you're in Cincinnati, come by the gallery, I'll show you my collection. I think you'll be quite surprised.

Raylan Givens

Honestly, I'd rather stick my dick in a blender.

Art Mullen

Well, that might solve a few problems.

Art Mullen

Just what part of being under investigation confuses you, Raylan?

Raylan Givens

So many things confuse me, Art.

Art Mullen

Do you think we're going to banter here? 'Cause we're not.

Hunter Mosley

You know, I put Bo away five years ago. He was running drugs up through Harlan. Wasn't selling, more of a conduit for shit flowing up from the South. But my problem with the Crowders started a while before that. You remember Henry Crowder?

Raylan Givens

He drove the Bookmobile around to all the schools.

Hunter Mosley

Great guy, sweet guy. The one good Crowder.

Raylan Givens

Yeah.

Hunter Mosley

Until one day, eight years ago, he picked up a 10-year-old little girl, drove her over to Pine Mountain Forest, tied her up—

Raylan Givens

No.

Hunter Mosley

—raped her, strangled her. Charlotte Rose Thomas. My niece.

Raylan Givens

Well, I can't imagine anything worse than that.

Hunter Mosley

She'd be finishing high school about now.

Raylan Givens

You put Henry away?

Hunter Mosley

I spent years searching high and low. Never found him. But I rode them Crowders hard. Some folks say that's why I put Bo away for his drug running.

Raylan Givens

As opposed to you actually doing your job.

Hunter Mosley

Exactly. Did make a contribution, though.

Raylan Givens

You honestly see a way out of this?

Hunter Mosley

Well, you mean like one of those police chases on TV? Helicopter following some dipshit through the streets? You know, when that idiot finally crashes, you ever notice how many get out and run? If you're like me, you're yelling at the TV, "What the hell you running for, asshole? We gonna get you!" And we always do, right? Except we don't, really. You know that. Not always. They just don't show the ones that get away on TV.

Raylan Givens

You're gonna be one of the lucky ones, huh?

Hunter Mosley

If I've got a one-in-a-hundred, Hell, if I've got a one-in-a-million shot, I'm gonna take it.

Bo Crowder

Howdy, Marshal, I sure am glad you could join us.

Raylan Givens

Oh, no, no, no. I'm not joining you. You were just leaving.

Bo Crowder

Actually, I was just telling my daughter-in-law how the one thing that separates the pie we get inside from a nice piece, like this one here, is the smell. I mean, there ain't nothing in the world like it. You know what, girl? I think I'm gonna have to lick your plate.

Raylan Givens

[grabbing his shoulder] Are you gonna walk out of here, or is this gonna have to go a different way?

Bo Crowder

The last man that put his hands on me like that, I beat him until his eyes bled. I guess it's a lucky thing for both of us that I ain't a convict any more, ain't it?
