Ava Crowder quotes from Justified

Ava Crowder

You wanna know what Bowman said when he looked up and he saw me with his deer rifle?

Boyd Crowder

God damn, woman, you only shoot people when they're eatin' supper?

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.

Hunter Mosley

You know what they say about back woods cabins in Harlan, they're like assholes, sawed off shotguns and pick-up trucks.

Ava Crowder

Everybody's got one.

Bo Crowder

You all right, daughter-in-law? You look like you just walked on your own grave. What, are you surprised to see me? I figured that Raylan Deputy Marshal Givens would have told you I was getting out. Especially since he's the one that got my sentence cut by 87 days and a wake-up.

Ava Crowder

What the hell are you talking about?

Bo Crowder

By taking down Sheriff Hunter. All the cases that got made by that lying son of a bitch are now liable to be reopened. So, the US Attorney decided that anybody with a sentence less than six months wasn't worth retrying. Gave us all early release. God bless America.

Boyd Crowder

For years I lusted after you, and I was far from subtle. Well, that was wrong. And not only because you were my brother's wife, but because it was unseemly, unwanted and it made you uncomfortable.

Ava Crowder

If by uncomfortable you mean it made my skin crawl, then yes.

Ava Crowder

Why did you agree to rob that mine in the first place?

Boyd Crowder

Because it's what I do. It's who I am, Ava. As hard as I've been trying to pretend otherwise. Everybody else seems to know that but me.

Ava Crowder

You sure you know what you're doing?

Boyd Crowder

I'm making it up as I go, but I sure am happy you elected to come along.

You want to keep buying quality bud, you gonna have to take all this off our hands.

Ava Crowder

Devil!

Stay out of this!

Pull your head out of your ass, son. This is serious weight, and these are dangerous times. Now, you want this to get ugly? It can!

Ava Crowder

Of course that's not what we want, Mr. Dunham. We appreciate you coming by.

You're lucky I was already in Knoxville. If I'd come eight hours from Memphis for this, I'd be obliged to kick somebody's ass!

Raylan Givens

[about Boyd] Still think you can change him, huh?

Ava Crowder

I'm not trying to change him. I'm trying to help him.

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.

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

[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.

What were you smirking at when I come in?

Ava Crowder

Nothing.

Girl, you "nothing" me again, I will smash your face into that toilet till there ain't nothing left to recognize. Now answer my question.

Ava Crowder

I was thinking, aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

Avery Markham

Ava, I've known my share of criminals. It's an ugly part of my past that I hope to remedy by investing more wisely in the future.

Ava Crowder

Well, you're off to a bang-up start kidnapping me.

Avery Markham

Wasn't my choice, I assure you.

Ava Crowder

Whose was it, then? [indicating Walker] His?

Avery Markham

It was yours. Come to reconnoiter my place of business, living some fantasy outlaw life, just you and Boyd against the world.

Ava Crowder

Sounds like you know a thing or two about it.

Avery Markham

I know for a woman to survive in this line of work, she's got to be harder than the men, ready to do the things they won't. I know women who have that in them. My question is, are you that kind of woman, Ava? Because if you ain't, then you'll never be more than a token, something that can be threatened or hurt just to keep your man in line.
