Derailed

Hell on Wheels 1×8

& ’Doc’: You were hanging a negro in the saloon?!
    The Swede: Yeah, he was caught with a white woman.
    ’Doc’: A white woman?
    The Swede: Yeah.
    ’Doc’: You mean one of the whores?
    The Swede: Yes, sir.
    ’Doc’: You were going to hang a negro for screwing a whore?
    The Swede: It seemed appropriate.
    ’Doc’: Those freed slaves work twice as hard for half the pay. Have they deserted us?
    The Swede: Ay, only the one they was hangin’.

& Ruth: Pray with us, Father.
    Reverend Cole: Pray?! God has abandoned this terrible place. Blood is God here. Just as it was in Kansas... and in Babylon in the old book. As it always was... And always will be.

& Cullen: You want revenge?
    ’Doc’: I want justice.
    Cullen: Different words for the same thing.

& Lily: Mr. Bohannon... Has anyone ever told you what an insufferable ass you are?
    Cullen: Yeah.

& Griggs: Will you just look at that?.. An Injun, a nigger, and a Greyback. We got ourselves a rainbow, boys.

& Cullen: We must’ve put down 500 Yankees that day. So. You want to call that a glorious victory... You go ahead.
    Griggs: 500... A thousand... 10,000. It doesn’t matter. Hey! We won. And you lost.

& Elam: Listen to me. Sometimes you got to bite the tongue and just take it.

& Lily: In the dream he... His cold hands clutch at my ankles.
    Eva: Don’t let him get you. He’s trying to drag you onto the path to the dead world.
    Lily: It seems so real when it happens.
    Eva: It is real. When a woman kills a brave... It invites big magic. specially a white woman.

& The Swede: He is not done killing, ya? Now, look at this. He’s looking for others among us. Look at these names.
    ’Doc’: Listen to me, half the men out there are killers. Half of them are accomplices. They are all afraid of Bohannon. He is an agent of progress, an asset to me in this endeavor, hmm? Whatever his motivations. Now, you will feed this fantasy of revenge into the stove. Tomorrow, God willing, we will resume work on my railroad.

& The Swede: Mr. Durant...
    ’Doc’: It’s a long walk through Indian territory to Sweden, Mr. Gundersen.
    The Swede: Sweden?.. I am from Norway. I am Norwegian.
