Justified: City Primeval
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on FXCarolyn Wilder Quotes
Carolyn: What are you going to tell the DPD?
Raylan: That God himself sent down a lightning bolt and the book came with it.
Carolyn: The world’s better off. And I’m tired.
Lt. Gov.: First, let me say that I’m sorry about Judge Guy.
Carolyn: Okay. Thank you.
Lt. Gov: Did you know him well?
Carolyn: Enough to know that he should’ve been better.
Lt. Gov.: As a man or a judge?
Carolyn: Both.
Carolyn: Goddammit, Raylan.
Raylan: Yeah, I get that a lot.
You read my application. You know that I have lived in Detroit my whole life. I understand the place. I understand the people. I’ve worked both sides of the line because while everyone is entitled to a defense, some people need to sit in a room and think about what they’ve done. You likely made calls about me. If not, you will. And you’re going to be told that Carolyn’s not good at playing the game, making me ideally suited for that bench.
You took the only father I’ve ever known. Fuck your mother and fuck you.
Raylan: Carolyn, I want you to be careful, now.
Carolyn: So that’s the question, isn’t it? Do I trust you with what I know?
There are things that I want to do with that book and none of them have a damned thing to do with what’s legal but everything, EVERYTHING to do with what’s just. So do you understand what it means for me to trust you?
Raylan: In my experience, you gotta ask somebody can you trust ‘em, likely means you already don’t.
Carolyn: And yet, here I am.
Raylan: You and me both.
Carolyn: Cuts both ways.
Raylan: It’s a dilemma.
Carolyn: The whole city is in this book.
Sweetie: You see somebody could help you?
Carolyn: If there’s a wall in Jericho, it’s about to tumble down.
Diane: You can’t just sit there like a wallflower, hoping people will notice you. I do what has to be done.
Carolyn: You are a politician, Diane. And politicians should not be sitting on the bench.
Diane: You want it, Carolyn? Go make friends with the governor. Don’t beg me for it.
Carolyn: See, in my life, everybody has their foot on my neck to get what they want. Fuck them. Fuck them to be so small that they abuse their power. Now, see, I want mine, but I’m going to use my power to do what’s right. I’m going to bang my gavel to set things straight.
Raylan: And you have confidence in the sobriety of your judgment.
Carolyn: Gotta be if I’m going to sit on the bench.
Raylan: You are sitting here with me.
Carolyn: I never said that my judgment wasn’t occasionally impaired.
Carolyn: Look, just because you got in my panties doesn’t mean you can get in my business.
Raylan: But that never happened.
