Raylan Givens quotes from Justified

Jody Adair

You think this is the first time I had a gun pointed at me?

Raylan Givens

No... could be your last though.

Raylan Givens

You know what your problem is? You got no self-awareness. You think trying to do right by your children excuses everything, even killing men.

Jody Adair

They were heroin dealers. If they'd just give up their money, none of this would have happened.

Raylan Givens

Any problem, that's someone else's fault. You ever hear of the saying, "You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. You run into assholes all day, you're the asshole"?

Jody Adair

[to Roz] Shoot him.

Raylan Givens

Jesus girl, you just showed me your tits 45 minutes ago.

Raylan Givens

I'm sorry, what are we talkin' about?

Art Mullen

Where were you yesterday?

Raylan Givens

Why? Did somethin' happen?

Art Mullen

No.

Raylan Givens

So, what's the problem?

Art Mullen

You're keeping addict hours, you come in late, you leave early, you're haggard. It's like the baby's already been born.

Raylan Givens

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

Art Mullen

Tim?

Tim Gutterson

I'd rather not take sides.

Raylan Givens

Thank you.

Art Mullen

Well would you rather do morning prisoner transports for the next six months?

Tim Gutterson

You do seem a little tired.

Art Mullen

No shit! The question is why?

Tim Gutterson

Smart money in the office pool's on exotic dancin'.

Randall Kusik

You read what I did to the last old boy tried to make time with my wife?

Raylan Givens

Skimmed it. Something about a coma.

Randall Kusik

No, I marked him. Now, anytime anybody sees that little greaser gimp around, hears the punch-drunk way that he talks, what they're seeing and hearing is me.

Raylan Givens

Hmm.

Randall Kusik

What I made him. So how about at 6:00 this P.M, I put a little limp in that Gary Cooper walk, write my name all over that pretty face of yours?

Art Mullen

If my stiffy lasts much longer I'm going to have to consult my physician. What's your opinion?

Raylan Givens

On your stiffy? I don't have one.

Rachel Brooks

Are you going to tell me how much money it was or not?

Raylan Givens

I did... it's a goodly sum.

How's that song go? Look for the rainbow in every storm?

Raylan Givens

I'll have to download that.

Randall Kusik

Oh, them chickens. You got to understand, man. I've been holding that dream in my head so long, I might kind of lost sight of the thing.

Raylan Givens

Randall, I know you're shackled, and it ain't half fair, but you say one more word about chickens, I'm gonna shoot you again.

Waste of time if you ask me.

Raylan Givens

What is, doing your job?

Raylan Givens

Tim tell you I wasn't coming in?

Art Mullen

Yes, he did. Said the game was afoot.

Raylan Givens

[sighs] Here we go.

Art Mullen

I'm sure you'll keep putting your best foot forward. Do what needs to be done.

Raylan Givens

That why you called? Foot puns?

Art Mullen

Yes, actually. Yes, it is. It's the only reason.

Raylan Givens

Any luck delaying Arlo's deal?

Art Mullen

No. Sonya Gable hasn't returned our calls.

Raylan Givens

Why's that?

Art Mullen

I suspect she knows that we're trying to delay the deal.

Raylan Givens

Why the hell would she delay the deal?

Art Mullen

Well, I don't know, Raylan. After you finish playing footsie, why don't you go ask her?

I didn't have no goddamn sex with Teddy.

Raylan Givens

No, I'm sure you and "rapes with a smile" here were just talking.

Raylan Givens

Jackie Nevada...Sounds like a name out of a Steve McQueen movie.

My stepdad wanted to call me Sierra, but he named me after my mom instead. She walked out on us before I had a memory of her. They never married, and Reno wasn't even my dad.

Raylan Givens

Your stepdad's name is Reno? The man's name is actually Reno Nevada? Some kind of lounge singer?

Card player. Taught me some tricks. Sometimes we get in games together.

Raylan Givens

Sounds like you had quite an upbringing.

He did okay. Best he could without my mom. I did see pictures of her posing nude in the backyard once, Reno left on the dresser.

Raylan Givens

But you never saw your own mother?

Lots of people haven't seen their moms or their dads.

Raylan Givens

Yet others do as much as they can to avoid them.

You just showed your cards.

Raylan Givens

[at Arlo's bedside] You're not gonna say anything, hmm? Just lie there and wait me out. Doc says you've been in and out and there's a chance you'd sleep all the time I was here, but we both know you're too mean to go that easy, so come on. Give me something. I ain't asking for an apology. Hell, that'd take too long, and I don't want any fatherly advice. Figure if you had any worth giving, you wouldn't be circling the drain in a prison infirmary. Just give me something. Who's Drew Thompson? Not for me, for your grandkids. They can grow up with a chief deputy for a daddy, hear stories about their granddaddy who wasn't just a son of a bitch.

Raylan Givens

All right, Arlo. This is your last last chance.

Arlo Givens

Don't go.

Arlo Givens

Closer.

Arlo Givens

Kiss my ass.

Boyd Crowder

[being led from the back room of the bar, in handcuffs] Raylan Givens! If you were coming down here anyway why have Shelby drag me in again?

Raylan Givens

I didn't have him drag you in the first time. [indicates the officer leading Boyd] What's going on?

What's it look like?

Raylan Givens

Did Shelby send you?

He's the boss, isn't he?

Raylan Givens

I just saw him not fifteen minutes ago, he didn't mention anything.

Maybe he figured it wasn't any of your concern.

Raylan Givens

Well except I told him I was coming here. I'm sorry, we haven't met; I'm deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens.

Well, all due respect—

Raylan Givens

'K, just, hold up. [to Ava] Is that an engagement ring?

Ava Crowder

Mm-hmm.

Boyd Crowder

'S a big rock, ain't it? Now as acrimonious as our relationship has been lately, Raylan, Ava and I discussed it and you still gon' be on the guest list.

Raylan Givens

[to Ava] You know the definition of crazy, right? [Ava shakes her head] Keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting it to come out different. [Ava chuckles]

Sir, I'm gonna need you to step aside.

Raylan Givens

Okay, maybe I'm crazy, or I'm just having a hell of a day: did you just give me an order?

You don't move, I'm gonna shoot you.

Raylan Givens

[calmly] Jesus, I hope I got that right.
