Doyle Bennett quotes from Justified

Doyle Bennett

[to Dickie and Coover] You have any idea the federal shitstorm we'd bring down if we killed a marshal? We're talking black hawk-helicopter time. Jesus. I don't want either of you two doing shit or even contemplating doing shit until you run it by someone who can think.

Doyle Bennett

If the police chief wants to kill a guy, he ain't got to send anyone. He just waits for the guy to show up on his turf, and he rolls up on him with a bunch of his police officers. You know, that way, he can make it look like the guy died resisting arrest. Or if that don't fly, well, hell, he could just, uh, disappear the body down an old, boarded-up mine shaft.

Doyle Bennett

I had nothing to do with it.

Mags Bennett

Other than shootin' a couple of assholes to keep 'em from talking.

Doyle Bennett

Yeah, well... that.

Mags Bennett

We need to talk.

Dickie Bennett

Can I get you something, mama?

Mags Bennett

Nothing's gonna take the taste away from my boys going behind my back.

Coover Bennett

Mama, w-we never went behind—

Mags Bennett

Cashing McCready's draw checks? How long did you think it'd take before that'd come back on us?

Coover Bennett

Mama, that's that federal. He's aiming for trouble with us, always has been.

Mags Bennett

'Cause of your actions! Starting with hiring that pederast to do a job I give you.

Coover Bennett

I'm sorry, Mama.

Mags Bennett

Coover, I know you're sorry. That's why it's gonna hurt so much to have to do this.

Dickie Bennett

Hey, now! Hey, hey, now! Hey! Hey!

Doyle Bennett

Put your hand on the stump! Put your hand on the stump! Mags: Take what's coming.

Coover Bennett

Mama.

Mags Bennett

I'm saving your gun hand, now.

Coover Bennett

Mama, don't hurt me.

Mags Bennett

Cross me again, and I will leave you nothing.

Coover Bennett

Mama!

Dickie Bennett

You ain't got to do this.

Mags Bennett

You shut your mouth! 'Cause you're crippled to the point of worthlessness it ain't you down on that table. As it is, I have to hurt Coover. And I like Coover.

Mags Bennett

Tell me it wasn't you.

Dickie Bennett

Hey, hey, listen to me. Mama... I love you, and I always tried to do what you wanted, but ever since Coover you just ain't been thinking right.

Mags Bennett

I am still the head of this family.

Dickie Bennett

Yeah, and why is it, Mama, that the head of this family gave away this family's territory... to Boyd Crowder, no less?

Mags Bennett

Boy, you don't know what you talking about.

Dickie Bennett

What I know is Boyd Crowder robbed us point blank at the shed, and Arlo helped him. What I know is Boyd ran off Rodney, told him he was the swinging dick around these parts! You, you gave Boyd an inch, he took a country mile. That's what I know.

Mags Bennett

If you had a problem, you should have come to me, like always.

Dickie Bennett

Even after you disowned me? No, I don't think so. You know, you can just go off. Go make all your big future plans, Mama. Go on, get Doyle and his tads their seat in future land, tomorrow land. I'll tell you what, I am living in the here and now, in Harlan County, and I ain't about to sit by and watch while a Crowder takes and takes and takes what's ours!

Doyle Bennett

You need to watch yourself, boy.

Dickie Bennett

It's my turn now.

Mags Bennett

You want to be in charge? Is that what this is about?

Dickie Bennett

I want... what's coming to me.

Mags Bennett

Okay, Mr. President.

Dickie Bennett

I want what's coming to me!

Mags Bennett

Helen is dead. Everyone know that you're to blame. Raylan's already been at the store, what are you gonna do when he catches up to you?

Dickie Bennett

That ain't gonna happen. We're gonna throw Raylan off that scent, give him a damn good reason to stand down.

Doyle Bennett

Yeah? How's that?

Dickie Bennett

Jed's gonna get himself killed resisting arrest.

Doyle Bennett

...Goddamn. You gonna ask that of me after everything I done for you?

Dickie Bennett

I'm gonna tell you where he hides his share of the money. You find that and his shotgun, and you match his blood with the drops I made sure to leave at the scene... there you have it.

Mags Bennett

Dickie, I swear - your actions jeopardize my plans in anyway, I will let you swing for it.

Dickie Bennett

By which I believe you mean, "that's a damn good plan you got there, my darling son!"

Raylan Givens

Doyle, I need you and your boys to put your guns down.

Doyle Bennett

And why would we do that?

Raylan Givens

Maybe you don't wanna see your brother's brains fly through the air.
