Quotes 

• Al Swearengen : Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

• E.B. Farnum : And if she pries and pokes and prods me to elicit your intentions?

  Al Swearengen : Tell her I wouldn't say.

  E.B. Farnum : And if she asks me why you wouldn't?

  Al Swearengen : Say you're a pain in my balls that can't desist from inquiry till told to shut his fucking mouth and act on the task he was asked to fucking do!

  E.B. Farnum : Yes sir. Fine, thank you.

• Al Swearengen : What do you know of the fisticuffs?

  E.B. Farnum : Amongst who?

  Johnny Burns : Utter and that fella you was sitting with downstairs the other day.

  E.B. Farnum : Wolcott? Just now, when I was leaving the hotel, Wolcitt had accidentally stepped on Utter's foot.

  Johnny Burns : If Utter's got corns, that might could have touched it off.
