Deadwood: The Movie
Power Dynamics in Deadwood's Commerce
Al Swearengen Ah... produce George Hearst Esquire, colossus of commerce, junior senator from California, who since our paths last crossed has went from strength to stronger strength still.
George Hearst Even as you name me, a figure to be reckoned with in this camp, Mr. Swearengen, I have been made this morning, more than somewhat, to look an incompetent.
Al Swearengen An incompetent? Now, how would that ever be?
George Hearst These years now past, I'd have you recall my having been attacked. Shot, and near as not, done in by a whore, whose name, if I ever knew it, has now been lost to me.
Al Swearengen I dimly recall the matter. The nameless whore embarked on a program of vengeance, and, by God, she nearly brought off.
George Hearst Referring to her attempt to murder me.
Al Swearengen Not to pretty the picture.
George Hearst I have lived believing the matter had been settled. And I was satisfied in that belief. But now, I realize I was tricked. The whore you presented in the box was not the shooter at all.
Al Swearengen Ah, you're going for the long, larger minded view... Senator.
George Hearst Which depends on running telephone lines across the claims. On recognizing common ground, bringing the future to it. A brief illustration of my point...
Al Swearengen Does brevity exist in your repertoire, sir?
[''Cutting off Hearst'']
George Hearst I am making an offer on Charlie Utter's land. Lumber for construction arrived this morning.
Al Swearengen Confident, are we?
George Hearst Back my bid to buy Utter's land. Use your position in the town to sway others and I will drop any counteraction against the whore... The pregnant whore.
Al Swearengen Uncharacteristically straightforward, sir.
George Hearst Discover your deepest nature, Mr. Swearengen. Walk with the future.

The NeverEnding Story
Confronting Loss and Responsibilities in Family
Bastian I had another dream, Dad. About Mom.
Bastian's Father I understand, son. But we have to get on with things, right? Bastian, we each have responsibilities. We can't let Mom's death be an excuse for not getting the old job done, right?
[Bastian doesn't reply]
Bastian Yeah.
Bastian's Father Son, I think it's time you and I had a little talk. I got a call from your math teacher yesterday. She says that you were drawing horses in your math book.
Bastian Unicorns. They were unicorns.
[crossing his fingers]
Bastian's Father What?
Bastian Nothing.
Bastian's Father She also says that you haven't been turning in your homework on time. And I'm very disappointed that you didn't even try out for the swimming team. As to those riding lessons you wanted, you say you love horses, and yet you seem to be afraid to get on a real one. Now Bastian, you're old enough to get your head down out of the clouds and start keeping both feet on the ground, right?
Bastian Okay.
Bastian's Father Stop daydreaming. Start facing your problems. Okay?
[smiles]
Bastian Okay.

Deadwood: The Movie
Disagreement Over Property Value and Progress
George Hearst These placer acres that you own, Mr. Utter, captured my attention.
Charlie Utter Scouts you sent previous made that clear.
George Hearst People whose judgment I respect assay this property's market value at $3,500.
Charlie Utter Seems I'm the lone holdout on the path of progress.
[''Charlie motions to other side of stream where men are erecting telephone poles'']
George Hearst By way of abbreviating our back and forth and, and maybe generating some good will, I'd go five hundred above. Offer you $4,000 even, cash money.
Charlie Utter My father taught his boy, uh, "beat hell into him" might maybe be more accurate... how if, uh, early enough on, you credited the settlements was coming, bought acreage reasonable, developed em sensible, hung onto em until the market come right, of a day you might could wake up and find you made yourself a respectable investment.
[''both men chuckle'']
George Hearst Forward-thinking was your father then. And now, here's his boy to confirm his papa's prediction.
Charlie Utter Contrary-wise, man might could come to certain special feelings. Partial, say, to a piece of ground. A river bending through the forest like so. I decline your offer, Mr. Hearst, thanking you for your time and attention.
[''Charlie motions downstream where both men see Samuel Fields fishing''; ''Takes swig from flask'']
George Hearst My experience over time has come to be: Customarily, I am he who starts a negotiation. Names its finish, too.
Charlie Utter Maybe getting mother-fucked this morning in the thoroughfare, by a woman in the bargain, has somewhat got your back up. Not the accolade you'd looked for out your return to fuckin camp.
George Hearst Proffering that assessment, sir, is hardly your proper bailiwick.
Charlie Utter Far as that, I went and proffered it any fuckin way.
