Rachel Brooks quotes from Justified

Rachel Brooks

[to Errol] I'm ready to get dirty. Are you?

Rachel Brooks

Got to ask. Why the hat?

Raylan Givens

Honestly? I tried it on one time, and it fit.

Raylan Givens

You ever consider I happen to be good at the job?

Rachel Brooks

And you being a tall, good-looking white man with a shitload of swagger, that has nothing to do with it? You get away with just about anything.

Raylan Givens

What do I get away with?

Rachel Brooks

Look in the mirror. How do you think it'd go over if I came into work one day wearing a cowboy hat? You think I'd get away with that?

Raylan Givens

Want to try it on?

Raylan Givens

I can only imagine how hard it has been for you to get where you are in the Marshal service

Rachel Brooks

Because I'm black or because I'm a woman?

Raylan Givens

Because you're an idiot.

Art Mullen

You've been in here for three days, and you've got no sign.

Rachel Brooks

Not no sign. His ex-wife has been packing in a lot of beer.

Art Mullen

Well, get a search warrant.

Rachel Brooks

Can't get a warrant based on beer consumption.

Art Mullen

How do you know?

Raylan Givens

We tried.

Rachel Brooks

When I was Nick's age, before my father's cancer, I thought we were the Cosbys. My parents had good jobs, there was a feast on the table after church on Sundays. Shawnee and I would ride our Huffys around the neighborhood. We had good hair, and made straight A's. Except, as my mother reminds me, that wasn't reality. The jobs weren't all that good, and my father was never a happy man even before he got sick. And Shawnee was smoking pot at 9 and running away to smoke heroin at 15.

Raylan Givens

I never bore any illusions that my family was the Cosbys.

Art Mullen

Your family wasn't funny.

Tim Gutterson

At least you got to shoot your father. Mine had the nerve to die before I got back from Basic with skills and a loaded weapon.

Raylan Givens

You didn't miss much. I thought it was gonna be way more fun than it was.

Raylan Givens

Well, maybe Lawrence Nightingale really did take him prisoner. Get it? Lawrence instead of Florence. Lawrence Nightingale.

Rachel Brooks

Yeah. I got it.

Rachel Brooks

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

Raylan Givens

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

First thing we're gonna do is we're gonna acknowledge that this guy is awesome.

Rachel Brooks

What?

I mean, he shoots Theo Tonin, fakes his own death in spectacular fashion, pushes a guy out of an airplane while he's flying it, parachutes into Harlan county with enough coke and cash to jumpstart the economy of small country, and then he has the balls to get a job in law enforcement, not once, but two times! He spends a couple days riding around with you while you're looking for him, and now he's run off with a hooker half his age. That's some badass shit.

Raylan Givens

It's pretty badass.

Johnny Crowder

Boyd doesn't give a damn about nothing. Never did. When we was kids, he'd build half a tree house, and then he'd run off and go build a go-kart. And then he'd forget them both and spend the whole rest of the summer stealing candy and trading it for cigarettes.

Raylan Givens

I'll take your word for it. I just dug coal with the man.

Johnny Crowder

And he gets back from the war, and he finds Jesus. And he receives his ordination through the mail from one of them Bible colleges down in South Carolina or some shit, making us all learn the ways of white supremacy, as it was laid down by the Lord almighty. Then he goes on and on and on about white flight and all that shit. You know what that is?

Raylan Givens

Mm-hmm. People moving out of town?

Johnny Crowder

White people moving to the suburbs.

Rachel Brooks

'Cause they want to cut grass and have barbecues?

Johnny Crowder

Shit, no. 'Cause they want to get away from black people like you and all the greasers and the asiatics and all the goddamn Mexicans running around infecting the place. But, you know, these are Boyd's words.

Raylan Givens

Johnny. What's your point?

Johnny Crowder

You know what he's doing now, Raylan? He's buying a house in the goddamn suburbs! Up there on Clover Hill, because the man is in love.

Rachel Brooks

You sound like he stole your girlfriend.

Johnny Crowder

Ha! No. He stole Raylan's girlfriend. He stole my job. Oh, but I did get this as a consolation prize for believing all of his bullshit.

Raylan Givens

Thing is, Johnny, you didn't get cut in half from Bo's shotgun 'cause of Boyd. You got shot 'cause that's the shit that happens when you choose to live a life as a small-time asshole.

David Vasquez

She tell you anything about why she was at Duffy's hotel suite?

Rachel Brooks

[imitating Katherine's accent] "Visiting an old family friend. Is that a crime?"

David Vasquez

Well, not compared to racketeering, conspiracy, and murder, no.

Wynn Duffy

My suite is being cleaned. The microwave exploded.

Rachel Brooks

Someone put metal in the science oven?

Tim Gutterson

I finally saw that.

Rachel Brooks

What did you think?

Tim Gutterson

Needs more Jason Statham.

Rachel Brooks

I don't want this guy going all Eric Frein on us, hole up at some derelict airport for weeks while we're out here chasing our own dicks.

Tim Gutterson

Sounds really strange when you say that.

Rachel Brooks

I'm running shit. I get to use the expression.
