Bo Crowder quotes from Justified

Bo Crowder

You know, I may not own a private plane or a fancy car, and when you look at me, you probably just see some dumb redneck who likes to eat roadkill for breakfast and have sex with his cousins. I don't eat roadkill, I don't screw my relatives, and I didn't just get off of no short bus. So for you to bring me all the way down here to threaten me, as if I didn't already fully understand the stakes of our business agreement? Hoss, that's just downright insulting.

Bo Crowder

Who am I kiddin'? I can't hurt my own son. [pause] Johnny, hurt my son.

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.

Bo Crowder

Howdy, Marshal, I sure am glad you could join us.

Raylan Givens

Oh, no, no, no. I'm not joining you. You were just leaving.

Bo Crowder

Actually, I was just telling my daughter-in-law how the one thing that separates the pie we get inside from a nice piece, like this one here, is the smell. I mean, there ain't nothing in the world like it. You know what, girl? I think I'm gonna have to lick your plate.

Raylan Givens

[grabbing his shoulder] Are you gonna walk out of here, or is this gonna have to go a different way?

Bo Crowder

The last man that put his hands on me like that, I beat him until his eyes bled. I guess it's a lucky thing for both of us that I ain't a convict any more, ain't it?

Bo Crowder

That day I came to pick you up at big Sandy and I asked you to work some hours to help me rebuild my business and you said you wanted to walk another path, well, I reacted poorly. That's why I came too see you today, son, to say I'm sorry, to beg your forgiveness and your indulgence.

Boyd Crowder

What's this?

Bo Crowder

The smoke from your blast sent a signal across all of Harlan County. I got people lining up with cash in their hands, begging me for protection.

Boyd Crowder

Well, I can't accept this.

Bo Crowder

Why not?

Boyd Crowder

Cause I know where it comes from. The bible tells us that "a gift blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous."

Bo Crowder

Well, then let's just consider it an offering, my tithes to your church of the last this, that, or the other.

Boyd Crowder

You're not taking me seriously, Daddy, and I don't find that amusing.

Bo Crowder

You know, it's funny. I was just about to say the same goddamn thing to you.

Bo Crowder

Where's my money?

Arlo Givens

There is no money. People stopped paying.

Bo Crowder

You invited me over here to tell me this?

Arlo Givens

No, Bo, I invited you over to tell you you have to do something about your son Boyd. He has gone clear off the deep end.

Bo Crowder

Well, shit, at least he hasn't joined the other team, become a goddamn Marshal for Christ's sake.

Arlo Givens

At least Raylan doesn't run around, preaching Jesus and blowing up meth labs.

Bo Crowder

I got control over my boy. Can you say the same about yours? He comes to town, it's to ruin the likes of you and me.

Arlo Givens

Only reason my son comes to Harlan is because of your son!

Bo Crowder

…You’re gonna give me my money.

Arlo Givens

How much you want?

Bo Crowder

Fifty, to start off with-

Arlo Givens

I don’t have that.

Bo Crowder

How much you got?

Arlo Givens

Nothing.

Bo Crowder

Well, then why did you ask?!

Arlo Givens

Being polite.

Bo Crowder

As a churchgoing man, I admire your turnaround, Boyd. I could never walk the path, though I understood its virtue. Your change has been remarkable, son. Having said that, you are getting severely goddamn close to meeting your maker.

Boyd Crowder

You know, I continue to tell myself that you are not an evil man, because I believe that in your heart, you have the ability to do the right thing. But I will tell you something, Daddy, and you mark my words. Now, you bring meth into our homes, and I will destroy it.

Boyd Crowder

You think that's funny?

Bo Crowder

You know what's funny? You destroy me or my shit, it's the same thing as destroying yourself. That there is Crowder gospel. You mark them damn words, son.

Bo Crowder

Yeah, you see, the problem there is, I still don't know whether or not I can trust you.

Arlo Givens

You've known me 50 years.

Bo Crowder

Should that incline me to trust you more or less?
