[boyd_crowder]

Jared: Well Boyd? What do you think?
Boyd: Well Jared, I think it sucks.
J: What? Why?
B: I appreciate the sentiment, wantin' to uh, go after a Federal building under construction. But you see we'd need us a whole box of Emulex to bring that down. And that's if you got cuts in the steel. Now all we gots a rocket launcher. And impressive as that is the only thing it's gon' do is knock some shit around. But don't you worry 'bout it, we'll just go to plan B.
J: Plan B?
B: Oh yeah. Yeah, there's always a plan B.

* * *

B: It used to be a couple of crackers in an SUV… set the jungle on edge. These surely are end times. Alright this is it right here. See this street up here? Make a right. This is good right here. Well I believe we can take it from here.
J: You gonna blow up that Church? Boyd? There's people on the streets. They're gonna see us! They're gonna ID my car!
B: You worried 'bout your car? FIRE IN THE HOLE!

* * *

B: Now how come you didn't wanna blow up that Church?
J: I told you. Didn't want 'em to ID my car.
B: Well I got to thinkin' that maybe you had an aversion to hurtin' people.
J: Hell no.
B: Well I also got to thinkin' that buildin' under construction might just be the kind of innocuous target-- you know what that means? That means harmless.
J: Huh?
B: Might just be the kind of harmless target that the Federal Bureau of Imperialism might be willing to sacrifice in order to get somebody deep in the movement.
J: You think I'm a snitch?
B: All I know is you don't have any tattoos. Y'keep rubbin' that head like you don't think that hair's gon' grow back.
J: You think I'm a snitch 'cause I rub my head?
B: I mean, you understand were I'm comin' from right? I mean you come out here from Oklahoma--
J: No.
B: Full of piss and vinegar. Talkin' 'bout how you were tired of spray paintin' Synagogues sayin' wanna blow some shit up.
J: Hey! You don't believe me? You go check it out. Why don't you go call Oklahoma?!
B: Oh we are. Devil's doin' it as we speak.
J: Eh. You'll see Boyd I ain't no snitch.
B: Yeah well, like you said, we'll see. (shoots Jared in the back of his head)

Devil: Hey! How'd it go?
B: Primary was a waste of time but took care of the secondary just fine.
D: Where you at?
B: East of 75 on Tates Creek Road.
D: Oh hey, got a call from Oklahoma. Jared checks out.
B: Oh?
D: How'd he do?
B: (sighs) I had to let Jared go.
D: Oh. Was it 'cause you didn't trust him or you just didn't like him much?
B: Probably a little bit of both. I am gonna need you to pick me up though.

* * *

Dewey: Boyd!
B: What's all the fuss? They out of Velveeta?
D: Your brother got shot!
B: What? Where?
D: At his house.
B: No, dumbass, where on his body?
D: I dunno.
B: Well is it serious?!
D: Oh yeah, he's dead.

* * *

B: Only reason I don't take Ava out and shoot her is I see she had no choice in what she done. I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved my brother, but you knew Bowman, you knew how he could get. And that woman she showed some spunk, you think 'bout it, doin' what she did. And then there's the Bible. In the Bible it says that a man should see to the needs of his brother's widow and I intend to do that.
Devil: Well they sure are taking their sweet time.
B: Hey, let me ask you somethin'. Shouldn't we have our money from your boys in Lexington by now?
D: I'll give 'em a call. Don't worry, they're good for it.
B: Yeah, you damn right they're good for it. 'Cause if they ain't good for it, I'll go down there and blow that shit up too. (shots fired) Oh! Hey! Come on! Come on!
Henchman: Go!
B: Right now?
H: Yeah right now!
B: Right now? Right now?
H: C'mon let's go!
B: WHOO!

* * *

B: Look at you! A suit, a neck tie. Lookin' good. Lookin' like a lawman. Now see this is how you wear a hat, all casual. Now down on your goddamn ears like you do. I heard you called on Ava. My boy Dewey said he had to run you off.
Raylan: You believe that?
B: Not if you say it ain't so.
Devil: Shit, I'll take care of him.
B: Devil, get us a jar and two glasses. This party's just for Raylan and me. Go'n. He just got his release so he's feelin' a little itchy.
R: I can tell.
B: (laughs)

* * *

B: (pours liquor, clinks glasses together) Old times.
R: (coughs, laughing)
B: (laughs) You been gone too long.
R: Goddamn.
B: So what uh, what was life like in Florida?
R: Just as advertised. Sunny and hot.
B: Y'know I just don't think I could take me a place so flat.
R: Mm.
B: You seen your daddy yet?
R: No. Not yet.
B: Boy, he was a wild man back in his day wasn't he? What was that scam he had goin' back in the early '90s? Stealin' minin' machinery, sellin' it to the Colombians, gettin' paid in cocaine? You remember that?
R: Guess I was gone by then. How's your daddy?
B: I suspect you know how my daddy is. Yeah all those days, good and bad, they all long gone now. Everything's changed. It's all changed. The mine has changed. No more followin' a seam underground. Cheaper to take the tops off mountains and let the slag run down and ruin the creeks. Hey, you remember the picket lines don't you?
R: Mm.
B: Courts backin' the company scabs and gun thugs. Hm. Whose side you think the government's always been on Raylan? Us or people with money? And who do you think controls that money? Who do you think wants to mongrelize the world?
R: Who?
B: The Jews.
R: Boyd, you know any Jews?
B: See, I recruit skins. They don't know no more than you do. And I have to teach them that we have a moral obligation to get rid of the Jews. See, it was in the Bible.
R: Where?
B: In the beginning. It's part of creation. See, in the beginning, right, you had your mud people. They were also referred to as beasts because they had no souls, see? They were soulless. And then Cain... you remember Cain now?
R: Mmhm.
B: Well, Cain, he laid down with the mud people and out of these fornications came the Edomites. Now do you know who the Edomites are?
R: Who?
B: They're the Jews, Raylan.
R: You're serious?
B: Read your Bible as interpreted by experts. (chuckles)
R: (chuckles) Ohh... you know Boyd? I think you just use the Bible to do whatever the hell you like.
B: Well what do you think I like Raylan?
R: You like to get money and blow shit up. I know 'bout your friend Devil and his record sellin' dope. And I'm willin' to bet that you blew up that church in Lexington, not because it was black but because it was a dope store. Ten-to-one says you got paid to do it by some other dope dealer around didn't like the idea of that preacher gettin' a free pass from the police. Win-win for you wasn't it Boyd? Not only did you get to blow up somethin' to smithereens you got money. See, I'm givin' you the benefit. You aren't mental. I know you're not stupid enough to believe that mud people story.
B: You think you know me? Well I know you, Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens, I know you like to shoot bad people. Heard 'bout that gun thug you shot in that hotel in Miami.
R: You heard about that?
B: Oh yeah yeah we have, uh, TVs down here now Raylan.
R: Oh?
B: But, y'know, at any point when you were lookin' at that gun thug... did you see your daddy's face?
R: (pause, swallow) ... The reason I'm here; We're havin' a little line-up tomorrow at the courthouse.
B: What did I do now?
R: Well, we got a witness saw a man fire a bazooka into a church. Now I'd appreciate it if you'd be in that line-up.
B: Well, I bet you would.
R: You either show up or we'll come get you.
B: Hey Raylan, let me ask you a question. Would you shoot me if you get the chance?
R: You make me pull, I'll put you down.

* * *

B: Well, I did my part and I showed up.
R: The idea of walkin' in past a gatherin' of law enforcement appealed to you, especially since you knew that preacher didn't have the balls to pick you.
B: It's always good to see you Raylan. Hey! You know that man you shot in Florida? Well my boy Dewey's cousin down there, he said he heard a rumor that you gave that gun thug 24 hours to get out of town or you'd shoot him on sight. Is that true?
R: I gave him the option to leave Miami, he turned it down.
B: What would you say if I made you the same offer, that you get out of Harlan County by tomorrow noon or I'm gonna come lookin' for you? Does that sound fair?
R: Now you're talkin'.

* * *

B: Yeah.
Devil: He's at the motel with his friends.
B: Well do you see our friends?
D: I do. What do you want us to do?
B: Sit tight.

* * *

B: Hey Ava. You expectin' someone?

* * *

B: Whoa. No shotguns allowed in this dinin' room. Toss it outside. Go'n. Ava, why don't you go in the kitchen, maybe watch some TV or somethin'? Go'n. Well come on in! Come on in! Sit down, help yourself. Raylan! The uh, gravy ain't bad. I mean it ain't like your mama used to make it but it never is, is it? Let me ask you somethin'. When you shot that gun thug in Miami was there food on the table like this?
R: There was.
B: Well have somethin'! Have a little chicken. And you uh... well you had your gun. What kind was it?
R: That time? SIG 226.
B: And where was it? Was it on the table where mine is?
R: It was holstered.
B: Bullshit.
R: It was holstered.
B: And where was his?
R: Under the table.
B: And what did he have? What kind of piece, I mean.
R: I don't recall.
B: Well how did you know when to pull?
R: He went first.
B: And you gave this gun thug 24 hours to get out of town. Now was the time up when you, when you shot him?
R: Pretty close.
B: Well how much time do you think you got left?
R: I thought I had 'til noon tomorrow.
B: Well what if I said it was right now? I mean unless, of course, you wanna finish that chicken leg.
R: Well I mean you can call it off. I mean, I don't mind.
B: Well if you're gonna keep after me, Raylan, I figure we might as well just get 'er done.
R: Your .45 is on the table, I have to pull, is that how we do it?
B: Well I appreciate that, Raylan. Yes, I do believe it is my call. What're you packin'?
R: You'll pay to find that out.
B: Ooh. You got ice-cold water runnin' through your veins. Well should we just do us a shot of Jim Beam, just for old times' sake? Ava! Get us a shot of Jim--
Ava: (rifle cocks) You wanna know what Bowman said when he looked up and he saw me with his deer rifle?
B: Goddamn woman, you only shoot people when they're eatin' supper?
A: He had his mouth full of sweet potato. He said, "The Hell you doin' with that?"
B: Ava, put the gun down, please.
A: You wanna know what I said? I said, "I'm gonna shoot you, dummy."
B: (grabs gun)
R: (shoots Boyd)
B: (gasping) You did it, huh? You really did. He did.
R: I'm sorry, but you called it.
A: Why'd you say you're sorry?
R: Boyd and I dug coal together.
