Wynn Duffy quotes from Justified

Wynn Duffy

Theo's got a guy on his way down who has apparently killed more people than malaria.

Wynn Duffy

Hi, this is Wynn Duffy in 236. Could you send up another pot of coffee, please? Because this one tastes like my ass on Sunday. Thank you, dear.

Wynn Duffy

Alberto, was it? Alberto, I'm not one to niggle over management styles, but let's say you would have let me know you were coming, I would have preserved some proof for you. A head, say, or a set of teeth?

Wynn Duffy

With one phone call, I was able to discover that the deposition you were scheduled to work this afternoon had been cancelled, letting me know that you'd be home early, and likely be home alone. Imagine what a genuine predator would have been able to do with that information.

Winona Hawkins

Or I could just call the police.

Wynn Duffy

The police are just a janitorial service used to clean up your blood after you've been murdered.

Wynn Duffy

Listen, I don't know how you're associated with Mr. Hawkins, or why, but I'm gonna give you this opportunity to extricate yourself from his predicament before you get involved in something that, quite frankly, you don't want to be involved in.

And I'm gonna give you a minute to extricate yourself up out my face before I have to paint your office with your shit.

Gary Hawkins

You talk to Arnett?

Wynn Duffy

I did.

Gary Hawkins

And?

Wynn Duffy

I would describe his attitude towards your suggestions as unreceptive.

Wynn Duffy

Come on, Emmitt! Come on! Show me the Benjamins the homeys are always rapping about!

Raylan Givens

Emmitt, I assume you're gonna take care of that.

How the hell was I supposed to know he was gonna show up without any cash?

Raylan Givens

Right, but eventually—

Duffy's right. What happens to our cut if you pocket that deed?

Just get control of yourself, boy. Just relax. You're gonna get your portion.

Wynn Duffy

Of what? The land? What am I, a farmer? Show me the cash, Emmitt, or I swear to God I'm gonna get a machete and a blowtorch, and I'm gonna make your body as small as I possibly can!

Gary Hawkins

I'm glad you agreed to see me, given our history.

Wynn Duffy

Our history, indeed. I took a bullet, lost seven pints of blood, and eighteen inches of intestine. I had the surgeons keep it for me as a memento of that day preserved in Lucite. Would you like to see it?

Gary Hawkins

Okay.

Wynn Duffy

Gary, I didn't have eighteen inches of intestine preserved in Lucite.

Wynn Duffy

So, are we finished?

Raylan Givens

As long as you understand that the next time we have this conversation, it won't be a conversation.

Wynn Duffy

As a matter of fact, as I recall, last time we met, you told me the next conversation we had "wasn't gonna be a conversation".

Raylan Givens

This is a different conversation.

Raylan Givens

He's got the ice-cold, remorseless bottle-blond shit-bag killer doing scut work.

Wynn Duffy

Deputy, are you accusing me of being a fake blond? Because if you need me to prove it to you, I might be inclined to break you over that step ladder, ride you down like a teaser pony, and paint this room an entirely different color.

Raylan Givens

Now, that is the Wynn Duffy I remember.

Wynn Duffy

You concerned about me, Raylan?

Raylan Givens

Little bit. The S.S. Quarles is going under. You best swim like hell to get clear or the whirlpool will take you down with it.

Wynn Duffy

I believe they disproved that on MythBusters.

Wynn Duffy

Mr. Quarles, maybe it is time you leave Kentucky.

Robert Quarles

I got nowhere else to go.

Wynn Duffy

It's some kid.

Robert Quarles

See what he wants.

Wynn Duffy

Can I help you? (Donovan backs him up with a gun in his hand) Good call.

Robert Quarles

Yeah. (pause) Oh! There's a young man with a gun in our trailer, Wynn.

Wynn Duffy

Yeah, I noticed.

Robert Quarles

Did- did you do something to upset him?

Wynn Duffy

I don't even know him.

You and me got a friend in common.

Robert Quarles

Oh yeah?

Brady Hughes.

Wynn Duffy

Who's Brady Hughes?

...Go ahead. Tell him.

Robert Quarles

You're friends with Brady?

Friends enough to know that the last time anyone saw him was with you, getting into a car together.

Robert Quarles

Brady is a beautiful soul.

I don't want to hear your bullshit!

Robert Quarles

What would you like to hear?

The truth! I want you to admit that you killed him.

Robert Quarles

But that's not true.

Then where is he?

Robert Quarles

I don't know.

Yes, you did! You killed him, and I want to hear you say it.

Robert Quarles

And then you're going to kill me?

Say it!

Robert Quarles

How old are you, son?

Old enough-

Robert Quarles

19? 20? I was 14 years old when I killed my first man. I was given a choice: I would do it myself, or they would do it for me.

You took him from me.

Robert Quarles

...No. I didn't. My father was a heroin addict. (gets up) He wasn't necessarily an evil man, but he couldn't kick his addiction, couldn't hold a job, either. But to feed his addiction, he used the resources at his disposal.

I don't care about your shit!

Robert Quarles

Luckily for my father, he had a very... pretty little boy. And plenty of men were willing to pay for my company. What is your name?

Donovan.

Robert Quarles

That's what it was like for me, Donovan, for many years. (approaches Donovan) And then one day, a man named Theo realized what was happening. You see, Theo believed deeply in family, and one afternoon, an associate of Theo's picked me up from school, and we took a ride in his Cadillac to a warehouse. Theo ushered me in, where inside, on his knees, was my father. I was 14 years old, and I remember how it felt... to suddenly be free. You see, Donovan, I understood your friend Brady. I knew him without really knowing him, do you understand?

Then why'd you hurt him?

Robert Quarles

"Hurt him?" No, son, I never hurt him. I did everything I could to help him. (points Donovan's gun away and hugs him) And then I set him free. I set him free.

Raylan Givens

I'm sorry, we're closed.

Robert Quarles

Sure doesn't look closed.

Raylan Givens

Yeah, well, we are. We're closed.

Robert Quarles

Oh, that's right. He's the bouncer now.

Raylan Givens

Wynn, take him out of here.

Wynn Duffy

I voiced my concerns, and they fell on deaf ears.

Raylan Givens

You got two minutes-

Robert Quarles

Marshal, aren't you going to ask me what I want?

Raylan Givens

I don't think I will, no.

Robert Quarles

There was an election today in Harlan County, and your man Boyd Crowder pulled a fast one on me. He slipped that hillbilly rug right out from under my feet.

Raylan Givens

I'm just gonna file that under "Who Gives A Shit?"

Robert Quarles

Well now, usually I'd be in a position to handle something like that, (snorts) because that's what I do. But then I got to thinking, I'd still have to worry about incurring your wrath.

Raylan Givens

I'm sorry, my wrath? Uh, you don't need to worry about that. You guys can take each other out.

Robert Quarles

And your father?

Raylan Givens

Sure, him too. Take 'em both out.

Robert Quarles

And that's why you are the way you are, Raylan. 'Cause your daddy's a criminal.

Raylan Givens

That's it, your two minutes are up.

Robert Quarles

I understand you've been snooping around about my friend, Brady Hughes.

Raylan Givens

Brady Hughes? Who's that, that the street kid you killed?

Robert Quarles

(gets up) You know, I decided upon something tonight, Jim Bob.

Raylan Givens

Did you?

Robert Quarles

I did... but I wanted to come down here and talk to you myself, right out of the horse's mouth.

Raylan Givens

I'm sure that wasn't necessary-

Robert Quarles

I'm gonna kill you, Raylan. Maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow, but some day you'll be walking down the street and I'm gonna put a bullet right in the back of your skull and you're gonna drop.

Raylan Givens

US Marshal! I want everyone out of the building, right now! Get your stuff and get out! (Quarles laughs) Why wait?

Wynn Duffy

Okay, you had your fun. Let's go-

Robert Quarles

I'm not going anywhere. Neither are you. So how long do you think it'll take before the cops get here?

Raylan Givens

Mmm, they may not even come. I did show my badge.

Robert Quarles

And how do we do this?

Raylan Givens

You draw. I put you down.

You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you sent us there expecting him to take care of us.

Wynn Duffy

Or you'd take care of him, have to go on the run either way.

Whoa. A man doesn't talk like that unless he's holding the nuts.

Ah.

Wynn Duffy

It's nothing personal. I just figured the more soldiers Quarles has down here, the more tenuous my position becomes.

Did you figure if you didn't put us together with him, we'd just go away?

Wynn Duffy

I figured it would buy me some time to cut a deal help you in exchange for a guarantee that I don't get left out in the cold.

Hmm. Well, how about you help us in exchange for your lives?

Wynn Duffy

That sounds a little odd coming from the guy not holding the gun.

Did you help Quarles because of the guns he had or because of who was behind him? Theo Tonin he carries this ear around in his pocket.

Wynn Duffy

I'm sorry. It sounded like you said—

Yeah, yeah. It's a human ear. And, uh, whenever he wants to get some guy's attention, he just takes out the ear and he starts talking into it.

Wynn Duffy

Hmm. What does he say?

I don't think it really matters.

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.
