Get shaky handed, and pop my foot on the floor like I'm a'listenin to banjo music

Here’s the dialogue for the scene in question:

————- Hugo: I have a check for $50,000 (sets it down) I'd like to cash with you.

Cy: I show that courtesy to people who gamble in my joint. (Pushes it back.)

Hugo: I wish to afford you, Mr. Tolliver, a chance to show my colleagues in Yankton that you are not blinded by parochial rivalry as to what the greater good requires.

Cy: You'd deliver the 50 to Swearengen? (Holds the check book.)

Hugo: Who'd no doubt prefer the check, to have the bribe on record.

Cy: So this ain't you just bein' a twitch who likes rubbing people's noses in their losses.

Hugo: Shall we transact our business in the cage, Mr. Tolliver, where I was attacked the other day and you failed to come to my aid?

———

I understand that Yankton is petrified that Al might make a deal with Montana instead of Dakota and is offering him a $50k bribe to facilitate that camp’s annexation to Dakota. However, I’m not sure why Tolliver doesn’t just…take Jarry’s cash here lol.

I also understand Jarry is pissed at Tolliver for completely abandoning him in the cage when the hooples found out Yankton (originally) wasn’t intending to respect current Deadwood claim holders.

Tolliver’s role is a little confusing to me in S2. I know he wants to work with Jarry to help drum up panic to assist Hearst (through Wolcott) in buying up the claims. But…idk I’m def missing a piece here that explains how it got so sour between Tolliver/Jarry/Wolcott trio.

I've got a road trip coming up that allows a route straight through Deadwood! Anyone have any recs for where to stay, what to see? Just a 24 hour rest stop. Also any other recs as I keep driving West upon departure from Deadwood.

A character so beautifully written and played, best self-serving kiss-ass I’ve ever seen on screen

My favourite character ever

“Before she ran a girls' orphanage, fat Mrs. fcking Anderson ran the boys' orphanage on fcking Euclid Avenue, as I would see her fat ass waddling out the boys' dormitory at 5:00 in the fcking morning, every fcking morning after she blew her stupid fcking cowbell and woke us all the fck up.

And my fcking mother dropped me the fck off there with $7 and 60 some-odd f*cking cents on her way to sucking cock in... in Georgia.

And I didn't get to count the fcking cents before the fcking door opened. And there, Mrs. fat-ass f*cking Anderson, who sold you to me.

I had to give her $7 and 60-odd fcking cents that my mother shoved in my fcking hand before she hammered one, two, three, four times on the fcking door and scurried off down fcking Euclid Avenue, probably 30 fcking years before you were fcking born.

Then around Cape Horn and up to San Francisco, where she probably became mayor or some other type success story, unless by some fcking chance she wound up as a ditch for fcking come.”

Who hammered on the door? Mrs. Anderson? The rest of it doesn’t seem like he’s talking about his mother there.

This was a really fun one to make.

So Alma sells her claim to Hearst in order to stay in Deadwood, otherwise she was risking violence on her and Sofia and the camp in general. So why the fuck did she leave Deadwood?

I’m betting some number of incoming members of the new USA administration will add the Con Stapleton line “If I can” to their oaths of office.

In S3E11, the dog Ellsworth is talking to in his tent was Tim Driscoll's dog isn't it?

Never sit with my back to the door, always bet on aces and eights.

I was thinking about it this morning after finishing the series again last night. I know there won't be a continuation or reboot or spin off, and I know that so much of what makes the series great is Milch's unique voice so if there was one without him it wouldn't be the same.

But I still wish we had gotten a spin-off, parallel season or even just a movie that is season 2 from the point of view of Wu and the politics of the Chinese quarter. It would be interesting if the Chinese characters spoke English and the white characters spoke some other language (BUT NOT GIBBERISH--Wu and the other Chinese characters spoke Chinese dialogue, not gibberish, even if we didn't understand it.) to represent the perspective flip.

Ah well. A great series always leaves you wanting more!

Rewatching the show yet again and got to the point where the Reverend dies. Next episode I believe, Al tells Bullock they found the Reverend killed by Native Americans out on the road. I wondered why he said that, as just saying he passed from his condition would have been perfectly acceptable since everyone knew he was in a bad way.

Just now, I found out the Reverend was an actual person. And while he had no tumor, he did die on his way to preach somewhere due to an attack by Native Americans or thieves. So Al said that to keep with the actual historical record, but I’m still unsure of his rationale for saying that in the show. Maybe I’m missing something. But either way, that cleared up a small mystery for me.

First of all, no it’s not cum. That unless some hooplehead is shooting brown loads. The aforementioned brown spots appear on the right side of her face. I’d say it was dirt, but they still appear after taking a bath so hot it burned her fucking snatch.

Does anyone else see Steve’s admonition that he did not fuck Bollock’s horse to be a parallel to Shakespeare’s Dogberry’s “Write me down as an ass!” I remember feeling this when it aired, and on watching again today felt it even stronger. Is this Milch in action? I don’t think he wrote the episode.

I just want to thank the creators of Deadwood for providing with the most adorable Russian that has ever graced the screen, him also having the most perfectly balanced Russian accent I've ever heard in American filmography. My own mother tongue is Russian, so it was a treat and even a relief, that Deadwood was not cheapened by bad fake foreign accents. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥀🎩

As the title says.

Now it's late...

Goodnight, cocksuckers.

Anyone here fortunate enough to have any memoralbia autographed by any of the cast members? Fucking share if you do.

I said it when I saw it the first time and it still holds true. Best fight I’ve ever seen on TV

S2 E23 of Parks and Recreation.

Sorry if it's a repost. I was just very excited.

Reddit would have gone wild
