Boyd CrowderWoman, how do you see this playing out in your mind? You think he's not gonna put it together that you were in on ripping him off? Avery Markham's not a man to sit still while someone takes what's his, let them go live the good life somewhere on his dime?
So, you're out, right? That's what you're saying? I mean, let's just set aside all this poetic, down-home, hillbilly bullshit. Bottom line is you're backing down.
Boyd Crowder
Oh, I ain't backing down. I'm gonna rob him. And then I'm gonna stick a bullet in your boyfriend's head.
You know what, Boyd? From the moment I met you, I just knew you were the man of my dreams.
I been lying to you, Boyd.
Boyd Crowder
Well, now we're getting somewhere.
Keeping up the fiction that I got all manner of things tying me to Kentucky things that forestall my moving to Florida. But there is only the one thing: you.
Boyd Crowder
You wanna lean in for a kiss?
Is that what you think this is, another one of your love stories?
Boyd Crowder
Oh, well, I do like happy endings.
Well, this is one of them classic stories, where the hero gets his man, then he rides off into the sunset.
Boyd Crowder
Or maybe it's like that other classic, where a guy chases a whale to the ends of the Earth, only to drown for his troubles.
I got to admit, there's a small part of me that's gonna miss this when it's over.
Boyd Crowder
Well, don't eulogize the past till the future gets its turn.
HHagan
Cold out here. Can feel it.
Boyd Crowder
Ya, I was just thinking the same thing.
HHagan
I appreciate the lie, Mr. Crowder. But we both know what you was thinking. Loose end and all.
Boyd Crowder
You know my mind? Now, maybe I was gonna take your keys, let you walk.
HHagan
[scoffs] So you could shoot me in the back? You're gonna have to look me in the eye, you pull that trigger. Nah, I knew the minute you stepped in my cab I was gonna be staring down the black hole of your gun, cut me down like the plague you are.
Boyd Crowder
Well, I got to say, you did do a pretty good job all that smoke you were blowing up my ass.
HHagan
Ain't no smoke. But I will say this. Stories of outlaw legends, they ain't passed down by the families of the murdered.
Boyd Crowder
Well, I don't give a shit about "the Ballad of Boyd Crowder". I'll be dead and gone when that song gets sung.
HHagan
Old boy by the name of Hut McKean mean anything to you?
Boyd Crowder
Let me guess. I killed him, my men killed him, my dope killed him, or my daddy killed him? Next thing that comes out of your mouth is, "how do you sleep at night, Boyd Crowder?" Well, do you know how? 'Cause I know who I am. Do you? You're a slave, disenfranchised, don't even know it. You drive your shitty truck to your shitty house, live out your shitty life. You think you're better than me 'cause you play by the rules? Whose rules? My life is my own.
HHagan
You ain't even heard a word I said.
Boyd Crowder
I don't give a shit about what you said. I'm an outlaw.
[Boyd kills Hagan]
Boyd Crowder
Goddamn, Raylan! How you know I wasn't some boy scout looking for his tent?
Your teeth glow in the dark.
Boyd Crowder
You shot unprovoked. How am I supposed to take that?
As me aiming to kill you.
Boyd Crowder
Well, it's only getting colder. So what say the next time the moon peeks out from behind those clouds, we show it down?
Boyd Crowder
Only problem is, Raylan. I don't know where you are.
I don't know where I am, either.
Boyd Crowder
Why you want to kill me so bad, Raylan? You don't even know why. "Boyd Crowder must die!" That's just the lie you tell yourself, wanting to win.
You are the world-conquering emperor of lies, the biggest reserved for yourself.
Boyd Crowder
Just say it, Raylan. "I want to win!"
[chuckles] How about, "I want the money"? Shit. You want to kill her, Boyd. You want to kill the woman who stole your money, shot you, and left you for dead.
Boyd Crowder
You don't know what's in my heart.
Boyd Crowder
You don't know what's in your own heart. You've given up everything you are so that you could murder me.
I cross the line with my eyes wide open.
Boyd Crowder
Well, whose eyes you gonna see when you kill me, Raylan? Your daddy's?
Boyd Crowder
Your baby girl's? Imagine the look on her face the day she realizes, "my daddy spent his whole life trying to walk the line and failed".
She'll live her life the way everybody does: on her own.
Boyd Crowder
Are you sure you don't want me to kill you, Raylan, keep you a hero? That makes for a hell of a bedtime story.
This is the only story here tonight.
BSBob Sweeney
[in the distance] Help!
Boyd Crowder
You don't think that's Bob, do you?
Boyd Crowder
Well, I shot him a couple times down at the trail head. I think he might still be alive. You ought to go run down there and see if you can't help him.
Bob can take care of himself.
Boyd Crowder
Well, hell, Raylan. Then I have already won.
Boyd Crowder
Goddamn Raylan, your timing sucks!
Boyd Crowder
I'd ask you the number for a couples' therapist, Raylan, but I don't think you're any better at this than I am.
I don't suppose that's your blood on you there.
Boyd Crowder
That please you? Somebody show up and do your dirty work for you?
Well, Boyd, I don't care how it gets done, as long as it gets done.
Boyd Crowder
Well, I guess, in that case, you ought to pick up where we left off in the woods, Raylan.
Boyd Crowder
What's that? I pull, you put me down?
Either way, I am going to put you down.
Boyd Crowder
Well, Raylan, here's the problem. See, I don't have any more bullets in my gun.
[Kicks a gun over] Try that one. Ava, now would be a good time to get out of the way.
Boyd Crowder
Raylan, you mind if I ask Ava a question before we do this?
Boyd Crowder
Why? We had the money. We were home free.
Honestly, Boyd? I put myself in your shoes. I did what I thought you would do.
Boyd Crowder
I ain't doing it, Raylan.
Boyd Crowder
No, I ain't.
You are gonna to raise that gun, and we are gonna end this.
Boyd Crowder
I ain't gonna pull on you, Raylan. So, you go and do whatever it is you're meant to do. 'Cause someday I am gonna get out. And when I do, I'm gonna kill her, Raylan. And then, I'm gonna come and I'm gonna kill you. So what's it gonna be, Raylan?
I hear you're preaching again, gathering a flock.
Boyd Crowder
Just spreading the word of my calamitous fall and subsequent rebirth in the light of the Lord, Raylan.
You know you're repeating yourself, right?
Boyd Crowder
Raylan Givens, I know you have never believed a word that has come out of my mouth, though I have harbored the secret hope that you have nevertheless enjoyed hearing them.
[Last lines of the series]
Boyd Crowder
Tramble Penitentiary is a long way from Miami, Raylan. Now, you could have called the warden. Could have sent word through my lawyer.
You asking why I came? Thought it was news that should be delivered in person.
Boyd Crowder
That the only reason? After all these long years, Raylan Givens, that's the only reason?
Well, I suppose if I allow myself to be sentimental, despite all that has occurred there is one thing I wander back to.
Boyd Crowder
We dug coal together.
