Boyd Crowder quotes from Justified

Boyd Crowder

We can draw him out.

Raylan Givens

How would we do that? Take you to the middle of town, tie you to a tree, and wait?

Boyd Crowder

Are you asking me or are you telling me?

Raylan Givens

Well, if it makes you feel better, you can tell people I asked.

Raylan Givens

Boyd, I've been to Mexico, I don't think you'd like it.

Boyd Crowder

How so?

Raylan Givens

There's a lot of Mexicans.

Boyd Crowder

Raylan, if a book could only be judged by its cover, you'd be a best seller.

Just wondering if and when we're ever gonna actually make a move on something worth moving on.

Boyd Crowder

And I told you that time is coming. [as Raylan arrives] But we're gonna have to put a pin in this for now 'cause I'm sensing a disturbance in the force.

Robert Quarles

Boyd, have you heard the saying, "the most successful war seldom pays for its losses"?

Boyd Crowder

Thomas Jefferson. Prison doesn't offer much, but it does give a man ample time to read.

Shelby Parlow

I'm a greeter now.

Boyd Crowder

I don't think I could say "hello" to that many people.

Boyd Crowder

My question is, does Mr. Napier know the name of the company that fired Shelby from his security job? Well, I'll save you the trouble. The name of that company was Black Pike Coal. Now, do you want us all to believe that Shelby here's a dishonest man because Black Pike tells us so? Do you think that Shelby's the only man in this room been done wrong by a coal-mining company?

Mr. Moderator, how many questions you gonna let this convict ask?

Boyd Crowder

Mr. Napier, everybody here knows that the only men the company doesn't do wrong are company men. And you stand up there with your slick haircut. You look down on Shelby because this man works for a living. You talk down to me because I've been in trouble with the law. Well, you know when that trouble began? Why don't you ask your good friend Harvey Jones? He was there. He was on the line when we struck out at Eastover Brookside, Duke power scabs, and gun thugs coming after us with bicycle chains and bats! Trying to run us over in their cars! And I know that you weren't there, Mr. Napier...but there sure were a lot of men there who looked like you. Men standing on the company side, laughing at all us hillbillies who were just trying to stand up for what we believed in. Now, I'm not saying you're a bad man, Mr. Napier. That, I don't know. But what I do know is that you've been feeding too long at the public trough. Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm gonna say no to the company man. I'm gonna say no to the lawmen who disrespect the rights of the people whose taxes pay for their salaries! And I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna say no to Sheriff Tillman Napier, who laughs in our faces while he makes money off our backs!

Johnny Crowder

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you taking actual shot glasses? No, no, no, put those back and pull the goddamn Dixie cups that I brought! Oh, good lord... shot of the cheap stuff for every vote and shot of the good stuff if they bring a friend.

Boyd Crowder

Now make sure you water down that cheap stuff enough so it lasts.

Johnny Crowder

The boys I hired, they know what they're doing.

Boyd Crowder

Alright, Arlo's got a guy hauling folks out of Paden Holler.

Johnny Crowder

That's good, and Emmett Holler?

Boyd Crowder

Well, Arlo's gonna make that run himself.

Johnny Crowder

Arlo's driving a bus? Oh shit, well there's some folks might not make it to the polls.

Boyd Crowder

Ava, baby, how are things on your end?

Ava Crowder

Oh, the girls are excited to practice their constitutional right to vote, and to give a free hand job for every vote cast for our man, Shelby. They already gave out blowjobs to a couple boys Napier was counting on to haul for him... and convinced them to take the day off.

Shelby Parlow

I'm not sure I oughta be listening to this.

Boyd Crowder

Well, Shelby, now this is the nature of Harlan County politics. The people of Harlan County are ready for a change, they deserve a change, and we gonna win this thing.

Johnny Crowder

Damn straight.

Boyd Crowder

Yes we can!

Boyd Crowder

Are you sure you're alright with this?

Ava Crowder

$3.2 million. I might find a way to get right.

Wynn Duffy

The point is, Mr. Crowder, when he asks me, and he will, where Robert Quarles is, does Theo Tonin sound like the kind of man to whom you'd like to say, "I'm sorry, but he escaped from a disease-ridden whore factory up in inbred holler"?!

Boyd Crowder

I'm gonna let that one go.

Boyd Crowder

Well I guess we best both sleep with one eye open.

Ellstin Limehouse

I always do.

Boyd Crowder

No one ever said runnin' a criminal enterprise was gonna be this hard, huh?

Ava Crowder

They left that part out on career day.

Boyd Crowder

I would like to be your distributor of heroin in Harlan county. Now, I figure we split it right down the middle. You and me, we could both make out pretty well.

Wynn Duffy

But even if I were looking for a partner—which I'm not, by the way—it would have to be someone I could trust.

Boyd Crowder

Well, you can trust me!

Wynn Duffy

But I don't even trust the way you just now said I could trust you.

I know why you keep misjudging us.

Boyd Crowder

Do tell.

Unlike the rest of these sorry souls around here we're not afraid of you.

Boyd Crowder

Well, in that case, ma'am, I think we've misjudged each other.

Boyd Crowder

Son, you are turning a corner that you can't walk back around.

Shelby Parlow

Well, that's like warning a man it's gonna rain when he's already wet.
