Johnny Crowder quotes from Justified

Johnny Crowder

You shot my cousin.

Raylan Givens

No, no. God shot Boyd. Ask him. He'll tell you I saved his soul.

Boyd Crowder

You know what Rome looked like before it became Rome, don't you? Some huts on the side of a hill, Little stream running through it. What it became... well, as they say, it didn't happen in a day.

Johnny Crowder

So you're building Rome? Well, I don't think this property is zoned for that.

Johnny Crowder

See, now, there you go again. Bullshit or true belief, I just can't tell.

Boyd Crowder

Truth always sounds like lies to a sinner.

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!

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.
