S1 E15Unfinished Business

Last time I saw you, you were no bigger than minute. Peacocking around your daddy like you thought you was already a full-grown bad man.

I recognize you now, Mr. Markham. That being said, I still don't recall being bounced on your knee. Nevertheless, it, uh, seems that I owe you an apology.

Like I said, I can't blame you for not remembering.

No, sir. The apology that I owe is for my craven attempt to pilfer that which rightfully belongs to you. As defense, I offer only my ignorance.

Meaning you thought you were stealing from Calhoun?

Yes, sir. I did.

And now you know the prize in question belongs to me.

That I do.

Mm-hmm.

And any, uh, plan that I had for my next attempt should be considered abandoned as foolhardy, not to say unworthy.

Hmm. I hope you'll understand when I say I don't want to see either of you at the portal again. Next time you want a slice, order in. Have it here in 30 minutes, or it's free. And if I see you in my place of business again I'll kill you. [beat] Come to it, I guess you ain't all that big now. Grown, but still just playing pretend.

Woman, how do you see this playing out in your mind? You think he's not gonna put it together that you were in on ripping him off? Avery Markham's not a man to sit still while someone takes what's his, let them go live the good life somewhere on his dime?

So, you're out, right? That's what you're saying? I mean, let's just set aside all this poetic, down-home, hillbilly bullshit. Bottom line is you're backing down.

Oh, I ain't backing down. I'm gonna rob him. And then I'm gonna stick a bullet in your boyfriend's head.

You know what, Boyd? From the moment I met you, I just knew you were the man of my dreams.

Your mama asks you to take out the trash, you do as she says, but you see a copperhead on the way out, you don't go back inside, say you didn't do nothing because all she asked was take out the trash. You take out the trash and the snake.

Didn't your mama ever tell you that there's always another snake?

I knew you'd say that.

Raylan, if you declare war on them all, they're just gonna outbreed you and outlast you—and bring you down for good.

You telling me not to do the job?

No. I'm telling you not to get your ass bit.

What do you want to bet that she and Mr. Hutchins didn't die peacefully in their sleep?

No, but it's such a nice thought. It's how I want to go. I'm kidding. I want Sigourney Weaver to choke me out with her thighs.

This is one of them ecstatic visions I've been having of late. All right, all right! Here we go-o-o-o. Mighty spirit!

Dickie Bennett, this is archangel Raylan, here to deliver unto thee a loaded-up commissary in exchange for your cooperation in a federal criminal investigation.

Oh! Message received, but I'm afraid what you ask, it's— it's just it's too g-great. It really is. I cannot see a way to answer your call.

Search your soul, numbnuts.

Somebody please tell me what all you're talking about.

The man is making you an offer you can't refuse: sell or he kills you.

Oh, come on, now. I may make you an offer you can't refuse... but that's because I'm offering you more money than you ever imagined.

And if I don't want it at any price?

Then you'd be a bird so rare as to never before have been sighted.

The negotiation has ended. I told you you can't have my land. I'm adding hers to the list.

I don't see how you can do that, legally speaking.

You want to follow that thread, be my guest. Till then, you can put away your suitcase of money.

Or what? You gonna give me 24 hours to get out of town, Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens?

And he said he didn't do his homework.

I'm just saying there's no deal to make here.

First you turn me down. Now this. What's next? Third time? You gonna tell me that, by the power vested in you, that there's something else I ain't allowed to do? This is still America, last time I checked the flagpole.

What's next is entirely based on the next choice you make.

I think I'll burn one on the way out. Helps me think. You gonna haul me in?

No, not for weed. I can assure you of that.

Permission to speak freely, sir?

You about to give me an opinion, or a warning, or both? Seems to me I've been perfectly clear about what I expect to transpire down here. Shouldn't be any more up for discussion.

BSBob Sweeney

Hell, yeah, I got a badge. And I got balls like Death Stars. Let's do this.

Now after that '90 collapse over in Joseph's Valley, didn't I hear you swear up and down on your mama's grave that you'd never go in without a good sounding?

I did, indeed.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna enjoy seeing you go in the deep. All those traps and chutes breaking through and all those rotting supports busting up. Oh, it's gon' be somethin' to see.

[Mundo A.K.A. Choo-Choo has just killed Calhoun Schrier by accident with a too-heavy blow to the head]

SSeabass

I said a starter tap!

You want him slapped like a little girl, you do it. All right? You ask me, he gets Amtrak-ed.

You don't have to lie to me, Uncle Zachariah. I'm not a little girl anymore.

Make it a whole lot easier on me if you was. Tell you the truth, I always found grown-ups to be mystifying. More so myself since I got to be one.

Good thing about people thinking you're dumb is, they tend to give you the benefit of the doubt.

CCaprice

What makes you think people think you're dumb?

[chuckles] It's all right. Before my "alive day," if I'd met a guy that looks and talks the way I do now, I'd have thought the same thing.

CCaprice

You'd be amazed how many guys think that if they talk fast enough, no one'll realize they got nothing to say. I like the way you take your time. It's like all you want is for the other person to understand.

[beat] You ever wish things wouldn't have to be the way they are? You know, like, if you close your eyes and open them, things would be different?
