Mike Reardon quotes from Justified

Mike Reardon

[to Raylan] Look at you. You are every inch the goddamn gunslinger I heard.

Raylan Givens

Hey, uh, I was at the office earlier. One of the other deputies was reviewing your cases. He found one that was curious. A fella name of Kit McKendrie.

Mike Reardon

McKendrie. Yeah.

Raylan Givens

You remember him?

Mike Reardon

I remember his face, his greasy hair, stained teeth.

Raylan Givens

What was the deal there?

Mike Reardon

Did you read about the case?

Raylan Givens

Just the bare bones.

Mike Reardon

[to the bartender] Thanks, darlin'. [to Raylan] Yeah, I had him in my court, before I got to federal. First-time offender. Everything in me said that boy was evil. He had a daddy used to stub butts out on his arm. Swear to Christ, there were cigarette burns all the way up to his shoulder. So, I pushed down what my gut said, I give him a cream puff 18 months, banged it down to time served. About a year later, McKendrie shot a 6-year-old And the state trooper who come to get him. I looked into his eyes, and I knew he was no good, but I let my feelings interfere. Never again.

Mr. Crowe, a settlement offer of $20,000 has already been made. The U.S. attorney has modified it to three hundred. Do you accept that offer?

Dewey Crowe

No, I do not! After what I've been through? My kidneys and everything? You telling me all I get is $300?

Mike Reardon

$300,000, you nitwit.

Mike Reardon

I'll take that as a yes.
