Deadwood s03e02 Episode Script
I Am Not the Fine Man You Take Me For
I am not the fine man you take me for No no I come in April to sell a string of horses and try my luck in the streams What I got for the stock I lost at the wheel, and the flake I washed up I drank the fuck away I don't know as I'll get home at all I sold my boots I owe $9 to a whore It looks like he fell off the platform It's just a broke-necked hoople, Al That he posed us no threat was the judgment you come to even as you fuckin' snored Turns on watch, Johnny, until this Goddamn Hearst business settles out And not that we lack options like the sleep from which none awaken Would you close your flap, that I don't forego my boiled eggs? Do you believe the speeches will be delivered tonight? The speeches the elections are hostage to the business of the camp, which is bloody
murderous And, you know
I don't like this tea Too cool? It's too weak I do not make weak tea I oughtn't to tease I like mine unusually strong You might have said, Seth It's an easy thing to fix You're right I'm not a mind reader I've said it now My goodness How am I? I could wish your symptoms further remitted I find your answer vague Doctor, has your medicine dulled my faculties or do you wish to cloud your meaning? You don't do as well as I'd hoped Am I know losing my baby? My opinion is you will And your symptoms make it prudent to intervene You're pained at the stomach I'd I'd laid that to, to your medicine slowing my digestion The spasm in the muscles of your belly doesn't owe to slowed digestion And while you are bleeding less, that you bleed at all with pain at the abdomen argues against further delay Have I time to see to certain arrangements? May I begin to see to mine? I should be back in about
an hour and a half's time Put your school things together, little one If we know Hearst is coming, Boss, why the fuck don't we strike first? From the moment we leave the forest, Dan, it's all a giving up and adjusting Across the thoroughfare to slit that cocksucker's throat We forego the rock for the dagger, arn distraction's use and deceptions before the dagger is employed spirits, women, games of chance I'm older, and I'm much less friendly to fuckin' change Change ain't lookin' for friends Change calls the tune we dance to Where are you going? Whiskey, Captain? Morning, Miss Sunshine Mornin', Cy What can you tell a man at the margin of things? Reason for these cancelled speeches? I don't know why they was cancelled You seem a little sour Don't think lying here these weeks, I ain't had my dark moments Thank God I took this book up again If it really brings you peace, then I'm glad Hell, yes, it brings me peace Do you doubt that? I try to believe You want to read something with me, Honey? "Same as you want to find a different way, then why couldn't Cy?" Getting gut-stabbed by a Minister of God will bring you to examine your path But I don't I had a gun to my ear at Shaunessy's yesterday What the hell were you doing at Shaunessy's? Staying away from here You listen to me, young lady What brings a gun to the temple is lack of gainful occupation and of being useful to others! I don't see you try to kill yourself here All you do here is good for the girls, and me too I don't want to run women no more And that's turning from your gift and your training! When you speak, I feel like it's the devil talking Ain't that a lovely thing to hear yourself accused of? Excuse me, Mr.
T, but fucking Lila's in extremis Jesus Christ! Ought I get the Doc? Leon seems over his head She'll see to it Yeah Try to stay afloat from the fuckin' sickbed, have to listen to something like that Get the fuck inside, Leon, before I take out my gun and kill you! Joanie this ain't the way it looks Get inside or get shot! Well, hold her up then! Got a long fuckin' way to fall down Let me die, Joanie Start walking, you lousy whore Start walking Slept inside, in case you wasn't aware Miss Stubbs' request Thought she'd try someone competent keeping watch She's off to the Bella Union I can't worry about her right now Can you just help me lug in the fucking water? I'm for the day off the bottle and about to bathe Camp get up a petition? I can sniff this all you want, Boss, but I I ain't got one fuckin' scintilla of an idea what these marks mean What if that's the door of our joint? That would make this line the bar What would that make the Xs? Murderers? See to your task with the Jew A few fuckin' things history proves: you sit still, you fuckin' memorize, you repeat back what you fuckin' learn, or, choosing otherwise, you display your knuckles to be struck fuckin' bloody on the fuckin' desk! That how you gonna start your talk to the children? Shut the fuck up, Mose! And don't tease me at a crucial fuckin' hour Can I listen? From outside, at your post near the shitter Could you have been born, Richardson, and not egg-hatched as I've always assumed? Did your mother hover over you, snaggle-toothed and doting, as you now hover over me? I loved my mother Puberty may bring you to understand what we take for mother love is really murderous hatred and a desire for revenge Will you give your speech to be Mayor tonight? Whatever night I give it, count on me not to mince words "Electors of the camp, as to who should serve as Mayor, reasonable men may differ But as to who should be Sheriff we all ought to speak with one voice And our words should be, 'turn out the maniac Bullock, who set upon the Mayor unprovoked, who beat him with merciless protraction.
' Bullock should be murdered! We should rise up and murder Bullock! Thank you very much.
" My father didn't like me I'd like to use your ointment to suffocate you May the little one walk with you? Is that all right? Of course My mother's sick We're closed for the next 15 minutes Whiskey Beer I'm concerned it might be taken as provocation me serving his whiskey before you getting your beer, or the very reversal of that Just bring the whiskey Fuckin' beer And these others, they friends of yours that come in on your heels? You friends of these boys, fellas? Should I be taking your orders all together? And was yours the fuckin' beer? Mine was the fuckin' whiskey Right then Right you fuckin' are Make a move, cocksuckers! Don't you shoot 'em, Johnny! If these fellas had been sent here to draw, I believe they'd have already done it Go ahead Go on, fellas Mind the muck at the thoroughfare center Debates are on for tonight, whoever you might want to tell I'll drink after I've ate Nuh-uh, no no You don't want you don't want to go in there Definitely a prudent investment If I could control even one of my vices, believe me, I'd have kept the house myself Excuse me Oh, no That's what these are for Whether I ever fucking live there or not My husband and I agreed before marrying that property held by either of us before our union would not be encumbered by our marriage As to such properties held by me I name my ward Sofia inheritor I've heard her I wish no amendment as to guardianship or administration of those properties I've heard her Ought not Mr.
Bullock be present to accept? This is property before our marriage I know what it is Don't he need to accept, being steward now to Sofia's interests? Why don't I go fetch him? We have a special guest with us today Miss Jane Cannary An Indian scout! There's a child I know Sofia Anyways, um, I was a scout for Armstrong Custer George You're right, but I always called him "General" to his face, and "Armstrong" behind his back Why? James I guess I always spoke of him as "Armstrong" 'cause he seemed puffed up to me, and "Armstrong" has a puffed up sound Any quarrel with me continuing, James? Go ahead Uh-oh Why say "uh-oh"? If you don't mean to go on to explain yourself, why say anything at all?! Do you only feign stupidity while in fact plotting ways to madden me?! No Why did you say it? Why did you say "Uh-oh"?! It's the Sheriff that beat you Now comes Mr.
Hearst Gentlemen Two of his men throat-cut, and he he picks the fuckin' fish Why do you think the men were his? My wife would like to see you Kinda warm The man didn't listen his basic fundamental problem He'd look at hisself in the mirror when you'd make your report Once I said to him how thin his waist was and how pretty I found his hair, use to get him to turn around, which he did to tell me get out of his tent So I guess my lesson I got to teach you listen and you won't get scalped And don't look at yourself too much in the mirror What else I found puffy he traveled with a dozen caged animals like you'd see in some zoo in the east Like we don't have enough wild animals around here, huh? Let us all thank Jane for her bravery here today Thank you, Jane I know another brave person here, too Several More More more more more More more All right Wider Not you! All right All right Sofia must be protected If my first husband's family attacks Sofias title in court, Mr.
Hearst might be approached as a purchaser I'm sure he could buy the relevant authorities All right Given his history with Hearst, I'd spare Mr.
Ellsworth that indignity I understand Thank you, Mr.
Bullock I regret nothing I bought the house The house I bought it It doesn't mean we have to move in together Please remind Sofia that the full moon is in two days All right We three will watch it together Davey is taking a chance not lettin' Al do the scrubbing That's Davey's fucking problem All right Now Hearst sent these two, the two you had the drop on That didn't draw Yeah, he sent the two that didn't draw, so that these two wouldn't be so quick to their irons And these two that you and Al murdered Correct These these two So, see, that give ma and Al time to cut their throats Now that was Hearst showing Al his ass And sending this diagram ahead was him signaling Al his intention Well, it was his preliminary signaling that he was gonna show his ass, if Al was smart enough to know it Now, otherwise, if Al didn't know it was coming, he'd have been surprised when those two didn't back these two's play Well, thinking that Al would throw his hands up surprised shows that Hearst ain't too smart! Aw, he's smart, Johnny I mean, they both, him and Al, are real fuckin' smart That'd knock a buzzard off a shit wagon I just I feel shunted aside or the like, not involved as much as previous Adams, you were busy with Star That you sent me off to see Thinking you'd be back before time for the murders So it wasn't like a decision you made to have the murders while I was signing the papers? You've no idea how fuckin' badly you're boring me Yeah? That Captain's brought over another envelope Won't you see with me what this might portend? All right Drink? Or won't you be staying? Ask the fella who made them Xs if he hires out for portraits What's Al doing? Like I fuckin' know If we was trailing water, we might get took for ducklings "Come watch the speeches with me " um It's written in awkward hand "Come watch the speeches with me on my veranda.
" That's what it says What in God's name is going on? And I inquire about more than that hole These last months have made me expert It was gunfire, and it came from your saloon Has not the press a duty, Merrick, qualifying its accounts in time of war? Are we at war now here in the camp? Has that fact been suppressed as well? Absent formal declaration, Al, which affects this community is not my prerogative to disseminate; to do so is my sacred responsibility Whores currently disseminating a dose, for example? To inform within decency's limits We've had this discussion before Citizens better die postulating than touch indecent ink Make a list of the infected whores and account for this morning's gunfire, and I'll publish it all I won't, fucking Merrick, because neither's to my fucking interests, just as you owning a print press proves only you've an interest in the truth, meaning up to a fucking point slightly more than us others maybe, but short of a fucking anointing or the shouldering of a sacred burden, unless of course the print press was gift of an angel I'd want to be there for that handoff myself Maybe you should print an extra saying the speeches are on again Tonight? What time do you think would be best? Well, people tried keeping their thoughts to theirselves Yes, sir? Will you mind, Charlie, not being noted tonight from the hustings? Be a Godsend Mrs.
Ellsworth isn't well I'm sorry If, while I'm on that Goddamn platform, you could station outside her place Sure I could Sol's speaking too, you see, or I'd ask him I'm glad to do it, Bullock Glad and fuckin' relieved Doc Cochran seeing to her? In good hands then And Mrs.
Bullock sees to Sofia Don't that child thrive now, with starting into school? Sweet as before and notably more outgoing Trixie will come out from being in helping the Doc Likely to come out for a smoke Fuckin' mail, huh? Uncharted territory, Harry Coming up on 14 minutes I don't care.
I don't care whatever you mean Readied as you were yesterday, only to have the event deferred, do you suppose it's nerves about giving your speech has your bowels in upheaval? When you was a boy, Rutherford, I bet you was a hand at tying cans \Nto dogs' tails and setting cats ablaze Or uncertainty when they'll be held? Overturning turtles was my specialty Wake up, Lila Wake up Don't you close your eyes again How do you make it through? Go on, girl Get out Seven times through, Alma I'm healthy as a fuckin' horse I trust you not to modify my instructions To the letter, Doc All right, begin You'll be all right All right Turn your head away from the cloth and breathe Shut the fuck up and concentrate Turn your head away God damn it! What I'm use to, this is like smelling fucking posies! I would just as soon (? assure / assume) that you not fucking pass out! When you're done with hers, Doc, why don't you fucking kiss mine?! I'll be back in just a moment, Sofia Round the dough's ends Mrs.
Ellsworth is being seen to by Dr.
Cochran And Trixie, I believe, is assisting him I'll keep care of Sofia while you deliver your speech And we'll both pray for Mrs.
Ellsworth Go on then Spend time finding spine to put the bullet in your brain Calls me the fucking devil Show me another fucking strategy Bedridden and liable to fucking slaughter Deception don't preclude the search for fucking conviction When is "when"? You are a fucking stitch "About to begin" could mean anything There's a crowd outside Are the speeches about to begin? Is "when" now? Oh, dear Oh, brother What is it? Only Andy Cramed, you drug-addled turd! Gentlemen Yes, sir Yes, sirree.
Reverend! Excuse me for just a moment! Reverend! Reverend! Guess you heard about the Clergical discount on wheel and faro both? Yes, Con? Andy Cramed that stabbed you is outside with Leon, sir Is he? Yes, sir Just come in Is his blade sheathed? No brandishin' no threatenin' gestures of any kind I'll see him, Con Reverend Cramed Or are you an apparition? It's me, Cy Ain't that what a spirit would say? It's Andy Cramed in the flesh How are you, Cy? Well, I'd say overall Though I'll never shit again without pain I'm sorry Now you ain't come to finish me off? To ask your forgiveness And decide how to vote Coming for the speeches was my excuse As far as stabbing me, Reverend, you was sorely fuckin' provoked I denied you'd been called, treated you like the shitbag fuckin' operator you used to be I forgive you, Cy, as I come to beg your forgiveness The ribbon's at Matthew 12, Reverend Could you read verse 31 for me? "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven except blasphemy against the spirit.
" Couldn't Matthew be speaking of me there? Oh, Christ Al-fuckin'-mighty, I'm so glad to fuckin' see you, Andy, with with forgiveness in your fuckin' heart Oh where is this strength coming from now? Where is this strength coming from that I feel flowing into me, that lets me sit up and try to fuckin' touch you, Andy, if only you'll fuckin' let me? Fuck me! Fuckin' Jesus Christ Almighty! Can you feel what's fuckin' moving here? It's moving in the room right now! If only you'd hold me, I believe I could walk Con said now may be when you ask to be told about Jesus Christ, you're well-arrived Would you have dope's cross off your shoulders, son? I know I'd like to take less Then fall to your fuckin' knees Get to your motherfuckin' knees, Leon, and ask the Lord to lift your burden part-way Hear me! Lord! Don't fuck with the fuckin' deity, Leon! You've got to come to him wholehearted, even you're asking for partial relief Oh, Lord! Let Leon cut down, Lord, on the motherfuckin' dujie (?) Let him cut way the fuck back I'll speak to you another time Oh! Do you hear how I'm coming at him for you, Leon? How I fully fuckin' supplicate the motherfucker? Speeches are near commensurating, Sir Now that's a definite Get the fuck up, Leon Help Con get me ready Any argument for us accompanying you over there, Boss Don't strike the right note going over there with seconds Know Goddamn well Hearst is gonna have his second there, that sea-creature-looking cocksucker Hearst would have it understood the Captain is just a hefty steward of the household Yeah, one with a dozen fuckin' pelts on his belt Even so, Dan, Hearst's man has pretext for his presence You and the others don't What with the olive branch I'll be bearing between my teeth You mind if we watch you from the balcony? Not at all Moment seems meet, blow me a kiss Excuse me If I could, I'd tear my skin off If I could, I'd put out my eyes No no I hate being sick Cy knew what I was He knew to pick me all those years back Miss Stubbs, did you like my friend Bill Hickok? Oh, I I just met him the once at the Bella, that poker with Jack McCall Did you like Bill that night? I thought he was a gentleman He was I felt he had a good soul He did, Miss Stubbs I can say that.
I knew him 20 years You know what else? Bill that we both liked so well and most everyone did that knew him, incliding some he killed Bill thought as ill of his own self as you seem to do about you So go on and try explaining people to me And same as hearing me say what Bill thought of his self I don't expect brings you to think any less of him maybe you, Miss Stubbs, oughtn't to stand judge and jury and every other job in courth on your own personal case Maybe, coming to verdict, credit others' opinion of you like you do what you think of Bill still So I'm gonna-I'm gonna just do some introductory remarks I'll call you up on stage Say what you have to say and that's it Aw, shit Mr.
Hearst Do you come to me placated, Mr.
Swearengen? Never more so, not even as a tiny tot Let's hear the speeches together Show me your hole in the wall, which I find a useful advance De Tocqueville said, "When an opinion has taken root in a democracy and established itself in the minds of the majority, it thereafter persists by itself.
" Tonight let us plant the seed of an opinion to take root and grow deep, that gathering to this end choosing those who will act in our name is proper, so that in years to come, among those who succeed us in this thoroughfare this idea will persist and seem to them self-evident Candidates for Mayor E.
B.
Farnum and Sol Star The incumbent will address us first Oh God I give no long speech tonight You know me and my works Your bosom must swell with pride, Mr.
Swearengen Swellings and saggings to the tit I lay at the exactions of time I mean you worked to bring this evening about To labor without pleasure makes us our destiny's slaves To work for crumbs or to keep from the lash says maybe a slave's what you are I'll not question those either who have faith in my rival, or make faith an issue of any sort We are long past the time of the Pharaohs I cannot decree Mr Star make exodus Were you whipped, Mr.
Swearengen? And does the lash snap still? Do you wait for the strike after all these years? Would the grip have been the part you were versed with? I was born to neither power nor money My father sold goods from a countryside crossroads hut A clear choice for Deadwood! Farnum twice measured Star once cut E.
B.
Farnum! Assayed and proven true! Farnum! Christ knows he's earned it! Mr.
Star! When last we spoke, you warranted your willingness to interfere with me Only to convey that my place should be for my uses I won't need a miracle far as parting the creek to take my leave of the camp I just bought a house and plan to live here as long as God gives me And my intention in making my sacrifice to you today and it seems, my life's great challenge was to show the virtue of consolidating purposes Keep people from shitting in the creek! That siftings runoff, tailings accumulating I'd say that's naming horseshit virtue Purposes butt up against each other, and the strong call "consolidating" bending the weak to their will And I'd add whoever's behind me is about to study his guts That's Captain Turner at three steps' remove as he has heard about your knifework close in No lowered pants in the whitewood! That's enough about the shit in the creek Away from your seconds' view, the Captain's pistol is trained at your head Do you believe yourself enough and adept, Mr.
Swearengen, to overcome your disadvantage or will you walk with us inside? Not throwing my hands up or my skirt over my head don't mean I ain't awestruck Well, they ain't slobbering on each other, but they ain't snarling neither Needs to do with the camp, or problems, you can always find me at the hardware store Seth Bullock for Sheriff! I agree with what Mr.
Star says I find I usually do I'm lucky we've been partnered these years Keeps giving me time to catch up I'm glad he's standing for office, and I'd try to be as good a Sheriff as he'd be a Mayor to the camp Sol's buying a house I built one last year I'm glad we're in the camp even on the sorriest of days Harry Manning for Sheriff Accepting your premise, Mr.
Swearengen, I'll not name how you would benefit from the action I wish you to take, saying only instead it's my will To which I will have you bend, I suggest you drink that No I would incorporate into my holdings the claim now owned by Mrs.
Ellsworth I am told that you can help me bring this about Tell me how you will help This is a grip I'm used to As far as making your way into her act averse to nasty language and partial to fruity tea But I'd like to get known far as wanting to help the camp We need a fire brigade, and I'd like to lead it I've always loved fires since.
.
since I was a boy If you're wanting to drink, the Number Ten's serving Oh, also also, the graveyard needs moving That's it well, thank you all for coming please think about what you heard here tonight, and thank you again Nothing's over yet Doc'd be dour at a christening, but Trixie says he wasn't scowling how he does, or or shaking his jowls like a bulldog Thank you, Charlie All right Oh God That's the look he gets on his face when he's hurt That man appears worse hurt than I am Bless his heart What happened? We watched the speeches together Yours was especially swell I need to lean on you, but don't you fuckin' look up Should I go up and get him? Hey, boys! What'd you think of the speeches, huh? I'll go get the cocksucker now Stay the fuck away from him.
Hmm? I'm having mine served cold First one to touch me I kill
T, but fucking Lila's in extremis Jesus Christ! Ought I get the Doc? Leon seems over his head She'll see to it Yeah Try to stay afloat from the fuckin' sickbed, have to listen to something like that Get the fuck inside, Leon, before I take out my gun and kill you! Joanie this ain't the way it looks Get inside or get shot! Well, hold her up then! Got a long fuckin' way to fall down Let me die, Joanie Start walking, you lousy whore Start walking Slept inside, in case you wasn't aware Miss Stubbs' request Thought she'd try someone competent keeping watch She's off to the Bella Union I can't worry about her right now Can you just help me lug in the fucking water? I'm for the day off the bottle and about to bathe Camp get up a petition? I can sniff this all you want, Boss, but I I ain't got one fuckin' scintilla of an idea what these marks mean What if that's the door of our joint? That would make this line the bar What would that make the Xs? Murderers? See to your task with the Jew A few fuckin' things history proves: you sit still, you fuckin' memorize, you repeat back what you fuckin' learn, or, choosing otherwise, you display your knuckles to be struck fuckin' bloody on the fuckin' desk! That how you gonna start your talk to the children? Shut the fuck up, Mose! And don't tease me at a crucial fuckin' hour Can I listen? From outside, at your post near the shitter Could you have been born, Richardson, and not egg-hatched as I've always assumed?

Well, I'd say overall Though I'll never shit again without pain I'm sorry Now you ain't come to finish me off? To ask your forgiveness And decide how to vote Coming for the speeches was my excuse As far as stabbing me, Reverend, you was sorely fuckin' provoked I denied you'd been called, treated you like the shitbag fuckin' operator you used to be I forgive you, Cy, as I come to beg your forgiveness The ribbon's at Matthew 12, Reverend Could you read verse 31 for me? "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven except blasphemy against the spirit.
" Couldn't Matthew be speaking of me there? Oh, Christ Al-fuckin'-mighty, I'm so glad to fuckin' see you, Andy, with with forgiveness in your fuckin' heart Oh where is this strength coming from now? Where is this strength coming from that I feel flowing into me, that lets me sit up and try to fuckin' touch you, Andy, if only you'll fuckin' let me? Fuck me! Fuckin' Jesus Christ Almighty! Can you feel what's fuckin' moving here? It's moving in the room right now! If only you'd hold me, I believe I could walk Con said now may be when you ask to be told about Jesus Christ, you're well-arrived Would you have dope's cross off your shoulders, son?

Let him cut way the fuck back I'll speak to you another time Oh! Do you hear how I'm coming at him for you, Leon? How I fully fuckin' supplicate the motherfucker? Speeches are near commensurating, Sir Now that's a definite Get the fuck up, Leon Help Con get me ready Any argument for us accompanying you over there, Boss Don't strike the right note going over there with seconds Know Goddamn well Hearst is gonna have his second there, that sea-creature-looking cocksucker Hearst would have it understood the Captain is just a hefty steward of the household Yeah, one with a dozen fuckin' pelts on his belt Even so, Dan, Hearst's man has pretext for his presence You and the others don't What with the olive branch I'll be bearing between my teeth You mind if we watch you from the balcony? Not at all Moment seems meet, blow me a kiss Excuse me If I could, I'd tear my skin off If I could, I'd put out my eyes No no I hate being sick Cy knew what I was He knew to pick me all those years back Miss Stubbs, did you like my friend Bill Hickok? Oh, I I just met him the once at the Bella, that poker with Jack McCall Did you like Bill that night? I thought he was a gentleman He was I felt he had a good soul He did, Miss Stubbs I can say that.
I knew him 20 years You know what else? Bill that we both liked so well and most everyone did that knew him, incliding some he killed Bill thought as ill of his own self as you seem to do about you So go on and try explaining people to me And same as hearing me say what Bill thought of his self I don't expect brings you to think any less of him maybe you, Miss Stubbs, oughtn't to stand judge and jury and every other job in courth on your own personal case Maybe, coming to verdict, credit others' opinion of you like you do what you think of Bill still So I'm gonna-I'm gonna just do some introductory remarks I'll call you up on stage Say what you have to say and that's it Aw, shit Mr.
Hearst Do you come to me placated, Mr.
Swearengen? Never more so, not even as a tiny tot Let's hear the speeches together Show me your hole in the wall, which I find a useful advance De Tocqueville said, "When an opinion has taken root in a democracy and established itself in the minds of the majority, it thereafter persists by itself.
" Tonight let us plant the seed of an opinion to take root and grow deep, that gathering to this end choosing those who will act in our name is proper, so that in years to come, among those who succeed us in this thoroughfare this idea will persist and seem to them self-evident Candidates for Mayor E.
B.
Farnum and Sol Star The incumbent will address us first Oh God I give no long speech tonight You know me and my works Your bosom must swell with pride, Mr.
Swearengen Swellings and saggings to the tit I lay at the exactions of time I mean you worked to bring this evening about To labor without pleasure makes us our destiny's slaves To work for crumbs or to keep from the lash says maybe a slave's what you are I'll not question those either who have faith in my rival, or make faith an issue of any sort We are long past the time of the Pharaohs I cannot decree Mr Star make exodus Were you whipped, Mr.
Swearengen? And does the lash snap still? Do you wait for the strike after all these years? Would the grip have been the part you were versed with? I was born to neither power nor money My father sold goods from a countryside crossroads hut A clear choice for Deadwood! Farnum twice measured Star once cut E.
B.
Farnum! Assayed and proven true! Farnum! Christ knows he's earned it! Mr.
Star! When last we spoke, you warranted your willingness to interfere with me Only to convey that my place should be for my uses I won't need a miracle far as parting the creek to take my leave of the camp I just bought a house and plan to live here as long as God gives me And my intention in making my sacrifice to you today and it seems, my life's great challenge was to show the virtue of consolidating purposes Keep people from shitting in the creek! That siftings runoff, tailings accumulating I'd say that's naming horseshit virtue Purposes butt up against each other, and the strong call "consolidating" bending the weak to their will And I'd add whoever's behind me is about to study his guts That's Captain Turner at three steps' remove as he has heard about your knifework close in No lowered pants in the whitewood! That's enough about the shit in the creek Away from your seconds' view, the Captain's pistol is trained at your head Do you believe yourself enough and adept, Mr.
Swearengen, to overcome your disadvantage or will you walk with us inside? Not throwing my hands up or my skirt over my head don't mean I ain't awestruck Well, they ain't slobbering on each other, but they ain't snarling neither Needs to do with the camp, or problems, you can always find me at the hardware store Seth Bullock for Sheriff! I agree with what Mr.
Star says I find I usually do I'm lucky we've been partnered these years Keeps giving me time to catch up I'm glad he's standing for office, and I'd try to be as good a Sheriff as he'd be a Mayor to the camp Sol's buying a house I built one last year I'm glad we're in the camp even on the sorriest of days Harry Manning for Sheriff Accepting your premise, Mr.
Swearengen, I'll not name how you would benefit from the action I wish you to take, saying only instead it's my will To which I will have you bend, I suggest you drink that No I would incorporate into my holdings the claim now owned by Mrs.
Ellsworth I am told that you can help me bring this about Tell me how you will help This is a grip I'm used to As far as making your way into her act averse to nasty language and partial to fruity tea But I'd like to get known far as wanting to help the camp We need a fire brigade, and I'd like to lead it I've always loved fires since.
.
since I was a boy If you're wanting to drink, the Number Ten's serving Oh, also also, the graveyard needs moving That's it well, thank you all for coming please think about what you heard here tonight, and thank you again Nothing's over yet Doc'd be dour at a christening, but Trixie says he wasn't scowling how he does, or or shaking his jowls like a bulldog Thank you, Charlie All right Oh God That's the look he gets on his face when he's hurt That man appears worse hurt than I am Bless his heart What happened? We watched the speeches together Yours was especially swell I need to lean on you, but don't you fuckin' look up Should I go up and get him? Hey, boys! What'd you think of the speeches, huh? I'll go get the cocksucker now Stay the fuck away from him.
Hmm? I'm having mine served cold First one to touch me I kill
