Tolliver and Mr.
Swearengen are uneasy colleagues I wouldn't know, Sir That feels to me less than a full verity I don't know what that means, Mr.
Hearst That you not knowin' about any uneasiness between Tolliver and Swearengen sounds to me like a lie Yeah I guess so Better Would you want me saying my first loyalty was to you, Mr.
Hearst, to verity instead of Mr.
Swearengen? hat'd sound like a lie too, and peg me a liar in the bargain So I'll have to win you away I guess so But I oughtn't to imagine the process will be quick Guess not Good, Adams Did he coach you long? Didn't fuckin' coach me at all, Mr.

Hour's 17 minutes till 10:00 No harm in him showin' up early You've done this camp a great service, Mrs.
Ellsworth You're very kind And yet, Mr.
Merrick, in candor, witnessing the events of late in the east, oughtn't any depositor pause and consider before trusting his savings to a bank? Uh, well, I suppose that's true Which is why a bank owned locally wishing to make available funds to organize and develop our community to build businesses and homes, and whose deposits are guaranteed by gold not two miles distant from this building in which we sit, isn't that why the depositor at the Bank of Deadwood, having considered, ought come forward in assurance and confidence Yes! Yes Have you any questions for me? I have not, Madam Not not at the present moment Well, I guess that argues for me showing Captain Cuntface how Goddamn afraid I am It wasn't aftertalk between you and Turner? Hearst was there when Turner said it, and Hearst I asked did he want it brought back to you Hearst says to me, "I guess so.
" "Guess so" don't sound like Hearst I'd said "I guess so" before I think he was making small of me What is there to consider over, Al? That sea creature Turner called me out It's Hearst calling you out I'm trying to decipher his reason Well, me seein' to Turner will not delay your Goddamn decipherin' Can you shut up now, Dan, that you fuckin' couldn't before? He hurt you, then he calls to you like a dog I had to tell him to fuck himself Even as I forbore till I could see to my fuckin' arrangements Think they'll get seen to by the snows? Ready your pen You're addressing me like a fuckin' field hand won't impede me cooperatin' Now go! That that's it, Hostetler 'Cause I keep my sense of priority on what the fuck is important I broke your fuckin' tip "Mrs.
Alma Ellsworth, serene and comely principal of the just opened Deadwood Bank, assured this reporter that depositors need fear no local echo of eastern financial panics A locally-owned bank Careful, be careful Uh, "Lending to develop businesses and build homes in the region, and backed by the underground assets of one of the strongest mining concerns in the Dakota territory, such a bank cannot help but Do you mind if we, uh, walk on more level ground, Mr.
Blazanov? Oh, no no no no I'll watch out for livestock Thank you "Such a bank cannot help but draw prudent customers in great numbers from every area of our black hills.
" Mrs.
Ellsworth, being so elevated, so sweetly radiant in spirit, I wonder if her words resonated with me at the time as being more poetic and compelling than now they seem in cold transcription And with the lady herself absent This is bad To abandon a friend like that when he's taken by drink I think this is more woeful, Mr.
Merrick We shall fetch the Sheriff, Mr.
Blazanov Leon Mr.
Tolliver That's a guilty skulkin' fuckin' look on your features, son I think by now you'd be more come to terms with your weaknesses Merciless conscience, Sir, since childhood You're buyin' drugs? I was buying drugs, yes, Sir That is the fuckin' cross my weakness has to bear And do you bear it for yourself alone, Leon, or long as you're about it, with others as well and earn the extra dollar thereby? I do not do that, Sir, no I got to wonder, son is it you been helpin' Lila in her fall? It is not, Mr.
Tolliver Lila drops her own bucket down the well I'm telling you, Sir! Takin' a whore o' yours down, that's next to directly robbing you Fella like me that's been indisposed To show he's back in play might cut a thief's throat You're fuckin' misinterpreting it.
I I was copping for another but it wasn't fuckin' Lila I was coppin' for that cunt at the bank Their faces weren't familiar, the men who left him here His name was Pasco Does Pasco have a friend here? How do you know his name? Cornishman, talked Union Worked for Hearst Do you feel there's a significance to that? The third of those organizers's been killed You got nothin' to say to that or on any other fuckin' topic On Hearst's orders, you believe? A knife to the chest, body atop Hearst's works in the thoroughfare I withdraw from our agreement I'd ask it's very brief extension No.
No Or we're both just fuckin' cowards I ain't no fucking coward! Though Dan might support your position What's he talking about? Wait a bit, Bullock Don't go for Hearst yet You know Al I've got the briefest of other bidness See to it Yes, s-see to it, Bullock Watching us advance on your stupid teepee, Chief, knowing you had to make your move did you not just want first to fucking understand? Huh? Your repayment of the loan we make you now, Mr.
Fields, whose proceeds purchase Mr.
Hostetler's livery, is secured by the livery deed itself to be held as collateral in the possession of the bank until the debt shall be satisfied Understood and agreed to And don't lose one second to wakefulness or worry I'll repay in a timely fashion Will you be paid in specie or currency, Mr.
Hostetler? Gold, please Thank you, Trixie I don't suppose a handshake signaling the transaction's completion is absolutely required Then I guess we don't have to do it then And if you're hoping to pass as a man before you hightail it to Oregon, you will return to me that board you made me sign Thank you so much for squiring me, these gentlemen being so obviously compelled by other responsibilities Such acid scrutiny by former boon companions We was never your fucking boon companions, E.
B Forgive me my confusing, Dan, my own deep feelings for you with what yours may have been for me I did not offer my hotel to Hearst which sale has made me outcast among you Hearst forced the transaction upon me I miss our morning coffee Yeah? Bein' no one is frequenting the main bar, Davey, what in fuck business you think you're gonna do standing behind there? Boss says I'm to attend the auxiliary bar The auxiliary bar ain't made a cunt's hair bit of business sense since it's fuckin' inception! Go on up and set the boss straight Hey, you don't want to take that smart-aleck tone, that fuckin' attitude with me, Davey You hear me? Hearst organizes violence between his man and Dority Does he? Orchestrates combat between them, mutilates me, plants that organizer's body like a flag in the fuckin' thoroughfare That last is fresh news Makes of me and Tolliver a two-headed beast to savage what might be healthy borne out of the fucking election and gnaw its own privates off-hours Plans keep coming to the cocksucker that their final sum is this: But for what brings income to him, break what he can; what he can't, set those parts against themselves to weaken Scoundrel! Hearst The why's what fucking confounds me What's in his head, I cannot fucking find in mine Don't suppose you talk to the Captain? Hails and farewells, but he never replies Or the cook? The negress and I are not intimate Alright, E.
B May I ask your plans, Al? No Only to further their achievement No All right All right Yeah Glad to have been of help Always available for counsel I dare not think what you've been through to reach us It's been a crucifixion Too painful, even the merest details Formidable, even at bay My last camp, Jack As it may be for us all, young man The place is yearning for elevation and festering with wealth Oh dear Augment of cupidity in the Iris, a healthy augury We must help them however we can Heave ho, young man, but slowly It's past me I cannot figure the fuckin' angle Go ahead and fucking fight him All right then What you want to be carryin', Dan? Nothing I would want found secreted on me, worse comes to worst Well don't say you ain't bringing your blade Naked, visible in it's fuckin' sheath and disposable before we join If he dispenses with his If it's getting to go wrong, Dan, you just drop down flat What the fuck did you just say? Drop flat if it's going wrong, and I'll blow his fucking head off You do and it'll be the last Goddamn thing you do on this fucking earth Going wrong is not the end of fucking things, Johnny Fuck no! I have come back from plenty of shit that looked like it was going wrong All right, Dan He's got the advantage of you there, don't he? That short-cropped fucking hair? Well, he's not lacking for brass "Come scare me in the thoroughfare.
" Star City, Captain, you remember the man's name? Leonard That was a fight Not how I remember As an object lesson to every man watching For not much fight, it did not end quickly I suppose is what I'm trying to say Do you understand me? Yes, I understand Thank you, Jack I am your Jack, Chesterton, but your producer too A rigor we've always sustained To carry a performer through illness when recovery is in prospect is an indulgence one can sometimes justify But support of idleness destined for the grave, that, Chesterton, the narrow economy of our art does not permit You would have me die destitute? You will purchase your keep with that voice intrusive and incessantly opinionated no vagary of our past has yet stilled The subject? We have but one In this instance, the theater is formerly a bordello The eye lines must be all wrong In the morning, it meets with your atrabilious scrutiny Oh I must rest Bellegarde? We proceed Costumes, Countess, will you chair? Ja Props and scenery, chair? Only if you serve as second I'm so so so so sorry Is costumes taken? Are they performing now?

And what committee, Bellegard, to address the old man's mortal illness would you have us fucking form? No committee Committees is the task before us No business as usual Business and tasks is what we'll have, just as you are tardy and ginger on your bum for the usual fucking reasons, despite your deep personal grief Not offered as a case for change Civic relations is me, and we'll include here a subcommittee for the renovation of the bordello Supervision of the work, subcommittee head Countess, done, with thanks Civic relations, construction, Claudia Countess is the second Hiring laborers A truth divinely writ: we make more devotees of theater engaging 20 laborers at $2 apiece than two of the same at $20 Busy busy busy Is he receiving as yet?

For Christ's sake, what difference does the rest of it make? I don't know it's the actual board There's no more fucking writing on it! Shall I accept myself as satisfied, only for Hostetler once escaped to send the real fucking board back from Cheyenne while he's laughing up his lying sleeve? For Bullock to open the package and humiliate me? Or for the fucking bank woman to humiliate me with the true fucking board? Or to revoke my fucking security on my fucking loan?
