Justified quotes

Wynn Duffy

Come on, Emmitt! Come on! Show me the Benjamins the homeys are always rapping about!

Raylan Givens

Emmitt, I assume you're gonna take care of that.

How the hell was I supposed to know he was gonna show up without any cash?

Raylan Givens

Right, but eventually—

Duffy's right. What happens to our cut if you pocket that deed?

Just get control of yourself, boy. Just relax. You're gonna get your portion.

Wynn Duffy

Of what? The land? What am I, a farmer? Show me the cash, Emmitt, or I swear to God I'm gonna get a machete and a blowtorch, and I'm gonna make your body as small as I possibly can!

Raylan Givens

[to Duffy] I shot people I like more for less.

Raylan Givens

[saying grace before Boyd's flock] Dear Lord, before we eat this meal, we ask forgiveness for our sins. Especially Boyd, who blew up a black church with a rocket launcher, and afterwards he shot his associate Jared Hale in the back of the head out on Tate's Creek Bridge. Let the image of Jared's brain matter on that windshield not dampen our appetites, but may the knowledge of Boyd's past sins help guide these men. May this food provide them with all the nourishment they need. But if it does not, may they find comfort in knowing that the United States Marshal Service is offering fifty thousand dollars to any individual providing information that will put Boyd back in prison. Cash or check, we can make it out to them, or to Jesus, whoever they want. In your name, we pray. Amen.

Mike Reardon

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

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.

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.

Boyd Crowder

You gonna introduce me to your friends?

Raylan Givens

Oh, my mistake, I'm sorry. Yes, of course, Art Mullen, chief deputy of this office, my boss. I thought you guys had met that night I shot you, but of course you were unconscious by the time he showed up.

Boyd Crowder

Raylan, we're getting precipitously close to the moment I ask to have my lawyer present.

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.

Boyd Crowder

Well, how'd he get you to talk, then?

Dewey Crowe

He deputized me.

Boyd Crowder

He did what?

Dewey Crowe

He said he could deputize me, and then I had to talk.

Boyd Crowder

Oh, that Raylan Givens. He sure is a clever one.

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.

Art Mullen

[to Raylan] That's enough. I'm the chief, this is my office, it's my informant and it's my call. And that's my bottle, and I'm not gonna let you drink it all just because your daddy didn't hug you much when you were little.

Boyd Crowder

Well, as many of you good people may remember, I was a hateful man, and I was a sinful man. Seeking my way through the darkness, looking for salvation in worldly things! And evil things. Like Saul on the road to Damascus, I was long gone on a sinful journey, when the light of the Lord shone upon me on my deathbed in a prison hospital. And, brothers and sisters, I'm here to tell you today that bullet missed my heart, but it struck my soul. It struck it. For I was blinded. I was blinded. I could no longer see ungodly truth. For if any man be born again in Christ is a new creature, well, I am a new. a new creature! I am a new creature!

Thank you, Boyd.

Boyd Crowder

Not quite finished yet, Reverend.

By all means, continue.

Boyd Crowder

Now - Now, Jesus entered a temple in Jerusalem. He found moneylenders buying and selling where they should have been a-praying. He called their church a den of thieves. And he turned over their tables. He cast out the robbers! He cast them out! He cast them out! Hallelujah! He cast them out! And like Jesus, like Jesus, like Jesus, we must never be afraid to strike out against those who practice evil! We must take the high road of righteousness, even if it means walking, walking and leaving our own flesh and blood behind. Because there is no greater piety, brothers and sisters, - than the love of God. Amen to that! He is my one true father. There is no other. There is no other, Preacher. There's no other.
