Memorable Deadwood Quotes

I discovered a new series – DEADWOOD!!!

Not only is the story very interesting and so different from any other series I know, but the language and sayings are so very funny, clever and entertaining, that I am thrilled. Here are my most loved quotes, displayed by the people living in Deadwood. My favorite character is “Calamity Jane” – she is drunk most of the time – and als very very funny in this state – but so lovely on the inside. Very amusing and loving woman. Besides her is the hardware shop owner Seth Bullock, who is just wonderful. Al Swearengen, the Gem Saloon keeper is awesome just as well. And there are a whole lot other, who make the series one of my favorite ones.

Jack McCall: Should we shake hands or something, relieve the atmosphere? I mean how stupid do you think I am?

Bill Hickok: I don’t know, I just met you.

.

  • E.B.: Separate rooms, I’ll arrange that by tomorrow, but today I can’t fix it, unless you kill a guest.
.
  • Al Swearengen: Welcome to fucking Deadwood.
.
  • E.B.: Lying? I?
.

Al Swearengen: Well, I guess when it starts pissin’ rain in here, you know who to blame, huh? Now, I know word’s circulatin’ Indians killed a family on the Spearfish Road. Now it’s not for me to tell anyone in this camp what to do, as much as I don’t want more people gettin’ their throats cut, scalps lifted or any other godless thing that these godless bloodthirsty heathens do. Or even if someone wants to ride out in darkest night. But I will tell you this. I’d use tonight to get myself organized. Ride out in the morning clear-headed. And startin’ tomorrow morning, I will offer a personal $50 bounty for every decapitated head of as many of these godless heathen cocksuckers as anyone can bring in. Tomorrow. With no upper limit! That’s all I say on that subject, ‘cept next round’s on the house. And God rest the souls of that poor family. And pussy’s half price, next 15 minutes.

.

Al Swearengen: Let her go; she ain’t taking any business with her. And don’t forget to kill Tim.

.

Al Swearengen: I’d rather try touching the moon than take on a whore’s thinking.Doc Cochran: I take it you’ve been out on a hoot?Calamity Jane: I’ve been drunk awhile; correct. What the fuck is that to you?Doc Cochran: The question was well meant. Like if you was a farmer, I’d ask ya how the farming was going.

.

  • Calamity Jane: I’m calling on the widow and the little one in her care, and if I was you I wouldn’t try to stop me.
  • E.B.: Be brief!
  • Calamity Jane: Be fucked!
  • E.B.: Her gutter mouth, and the widow in an opium stupor: a conversation for the ages.

.

.

Rider: God bless you, Mr. Swearengen.
Al Swearengen: Well, not likely. But my short-term prospects have just improved.

.

  • 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!

.

  • Calamity Jane: Maybe I will have a fuckin drink, for sociabilitys sake and cause I’m fuckin drunk.
  • Joanie Stubbs: Whats your preference?
  • Calamity Jane: That it ain’t been previously swalloed.

.

  • Al Swearengen: What’s your name, it’s Jack, ain’t it?
  • Jack McCall: Yes, sir! You buy me a drink, I’ll make my mark.
  • Al Swearengen: Stick around camp, Jack- I’ll make mine for you.
  • Jack McCall: What in the hell is that supposed to mean?
  • Al Swearengen: Means there’s a horse waiting for you outside you’ll want to get on before somebody murders you who gives a fuck about right and wrong- or I do.
  • [Jack stares, dumbfounded]
  • Al Swearengen: It’s the paint, Jack. Right outside my joint.
  • [whispering]
  • Al Swearengen: Run for your fucking life.

.

Cy Tolliver: Sayin’ questions in that tone and pointin’ your finger at me will get you told to fuck yourself.
