Rust Cohle quotes from True Detective

Rust Cohle

I quit.

You serious?

Rust Cohle

I'll send you a letter. Yeah. Fuck this. Fuck this world. Nice hook, Marty.

You know, you know what, I don't think I've been very clear with you Rust. If you were drowning, I'd throw you a fuckin' barbell. Why would I ever help you?

Rust Cohle

Because you owe a debt.

Rust Cohle

Look, as sentient meat, however illusory our identities are, we craft those identities by making value judgments: everybody judges, all the time. Now, you got a problem with that... You're livin' wrong.

What's scented meat?

Rust Cohle

What are you doing here?

Nothin'. Nurse said I could come in.

Rust Cohle

Are you watching me sleep?

Well you know what, I just got here; I was gonna leave, but then you woke up - Jesus, what's your fuckin' problem?

Rust Cohle

Nothin', what's your problem?

Not a care in the world.

Rust Cohle

We didn't get 'em all.

Yeah, and we ain't gonna get 'em all. That ain't what kind of world it is. But we got ours.

Rust Cohle

I'm not supposed to be here.

Yeah... well, I'll come back by tomorrow, buddy.

Rust Cohle

Why?

Don't ever change, man.
