Roland West quotes from True Detective

Roland West

You're a hard man to find. Where you been?

Time being what it is, I imagine you boys would rather I stick to what's relevant, which is that justice might finally be done for Lucy and her kids.

Wayne Hays

Gonna need you to make your fuckin' point, Dan.

My point is, Tom goin' on TV, Julie bein' alive... there are questions you can't answer without information I know.

Roland West

You know somethin' you're not sayin', we can put you away right now.

Wayne Hays

Or we could take you someplace and kick the hell out of you until we're convinced you're as full of shit as you look to me.

I want $7,000.

Wayne Hays

I want a boat.

Y'know, it's clear from the news that ya'll don't any more now than you did then. You deliver to me that amount, you're gonna know a whole lot more. I imagine a whole lot of your confusion is just gonna clear right up.

Wayne Hays

You're workin' on getting your head bounced right of that fuckin' curb.

I been gettin' the shit beat out of me since I was two years old.

Roland West

You ain't worked a case in 10 years. Fuck's sake, Purple, what do you think this is about? Why do you think I pulled you in here?

Wayne Hays

To find the girl and solve what happened.

Roland West

You don't think there are better detectives around? Hey, we find the girl, great. We clear it, great. But how often does that happen? A 10-year-old case. This was me helping you get your career back, you understand? It was a favor I did.

Wayne Hays

'Cause I'm such a hard-luck case.

Roland West

Keep talkin'. Keep talkin'. They're gonna put you back on Public Information, or Highway Cleanup for the next 10 years. How'd that be, huh?

Roland West

Tom, what's doin'?

I'm gettin' the fuck out of this place. Lucy's gone, Julie's...Julie's... You know, I thought if there was a chance, but... Ya'll say she's dead, so I'm gettin' lost.

Roland West

What do you aim to do?

Whatever it takes to stop feeling. I mean, there's no point. Ain't nobody left to feel anything for.

Roland West

You manipulative, egotistical, uppity fuckin'...

Wayne Hays

What? Huh? What're you gonna say?

Roland West

Guess what word's runnin' through my mind.

Wayne Hays

Say it, then. Say it, motherfucker!

Roland West

Nah. I just want you to know I'm thinkin' it.
