61 Degrees

Hell on Wheels 5×10

& Mei: What happen?
    Bohannon: Long story. But that’s over for now.

& Huntington: Heard you found your family.
    Bohannon: I did.
    Huntington: Thought you were gone.
    Bohannon: I ain’t.

& Bohannon: Just one batch, Jim. That’s all I’m askin’.

& JiM: What’s the temperature?
    Bohannon: Fifty five.
    Jim: Up here, you’ve to stay below 60. One degree more, you start a chain reaction you can’t stop. What’s it now?
    Bohannon: Fifty seven.
    Jim: Here. At sea level, you can let it get all the way to 65.

& Jim: He made a dozen batches before he realized his mistake. He disappeared into a red mist. That’s the last thing my left eye ever saw... Hm?

& Jim: Every breath you take with this in your hand, is a challenge to God.

& Maggie: No more schemes. Mmm-mmm. Cheatin’ people, it leaves a bad taste.
    Durant: It is in the nature of the lion to eat the zebra. Come back to bed.

& Durant: The Railroad never keeps cash on hand. A defense against thieves.

& Maggie: Where’s the money, New York?
    Durant: I needed the funds to cover a lumber deal in Maine.
    Maggie: Maine?
    Durant: That lumber deal is financing a steel mill in Chicago, which is supporting a cotton operation in Virginia, which is supporting a coal mine in Kentucky...
    Maggie: Jesus. You’re broke.
    Durant: I am between transactions.

& Huntington: Can’t have Mozart and Chopin playing different tunes on the same piano.

& Janie: Why do fish fight when they get hooked?
    Jim: Because their job is to get away.
    Janie: But doesn’t fighting a hook make it harder?

& Chang: What lies beyond the railroad for you?
    Huntington: Everything that’s not nailed down is mine. Whatever I can pry loose isn’t nailed down.
    Chang: A truly American sentiment.

& Chang: A man who desires only one thing will never be satisfied.

& Jim: Hey, Bohannon. You know why fish always pull against the hook, even though it makes things worse?.. Because they’re fish. They don’t know any better.

& Bohannon: Whoo! Let’s clear this rock! We got a mountain to move!

& Bohannon: Every step of my life, I lost everybody I ever had. All I got left is scars.
