[Seth walks into the Gem as Al, Dan, and Johnny discuss the arrival of Jack Langrishe]

Al Swearengen:
Bullock.

Seth Bullock:
Tell that Chinaman when I want admission to his meat locker, it behooves him to f***in' cooperate.

Al Swearengen:
What did he do instead?

Seth Bullock:
Said, "Swejen," and barred my way.

Al Swearengen:
Had you eyes to select your own cut?

Seth Bullock:
Are you gonna f*** with me? I had eyes for the Cornishman killed in here last week. I explained it to him, and he goddamn understood me.

Dan Dority:
Did he mosey over to a corner, lift up a f***in' tarp?

Seth Bullock:
Yeah, he went to the tarp.

Al Swearengen:
That's what the croaker was under.

Johnny Burns:
That's our nook in Wu's structure. [Al motions to Johnny, who grabs a shot glass and slides it down the bar. Al pours himself and Seth a drink]

Al Swearengen:
Why Wu delayed cooperatin', he hadn't known the croaker was under there. His stupid suit so overcome me, it slipped my mind to tell him.

Seth Bullock:
I want that body.

Al Swearengen:
I'll see Wu hands it over. [Seth drinks his shot]

Seth Bullock:
Hearst just had another Cornish killed at his diggings for tryin' to organize. They're callin' that one an accident.

Al Swearengen:
What makes you think any good'll come of confrontin' Hearst now?

Seth Bullock:
Now is when he's killin' people.

Al Swearengen:
What, you feel he'll leave off soon?

Seth Bullock:
Tactics and timin' ain't the issue.

Al Swearengen:
The hell you say. [brief pause, as Al drinks his shot while looking straight at Seth]

Seth Bullock:
If his pigs get that body, Wu is their next f***in' meal. You make him understand.
