Deadwood, Season Two
Alma Garret:
[regarding Sofia] You frighten her.
Al Swearengen:
I have that effect.
Alma Garret:
I think specifically it was your plotting against her life.
Al Swearengen:
I'd take tea
Alma Garret:
What do you wish to discuss?
Al Swearengen:
The child's tutor you recently sacked..
Alma Garret:
Miss Isringhausen?
Al Swearengen:
She's a Pinkerton.
Alma Garret:
I don't find that credible.
Al Swearengen:
That's the way they like it. Your husband's family chartered the agency to pin his dying on you so when you're jailed or hanged they can bag your gold.
Alma Garret:
How do you support this contention?
Al Swearengen:
Oh, she's come to me, and wants to give me money to confirm what she says you confessed: that you hired me to kill him.
Alma Garret:
How much have they offered?
Al Swearengen:
50,000.
Alma Garret:
And how much do you ask of me as commission to tell the truth?
Al Swearengen:
I don't like the Pinkertons. They're muscle for the bosses, as if the bosses ain't got enough edge...
Alma Garret:
So you'd side with me on principle?
Al Swearengen:
Now I'll finish my f***ing sentence.
Alma Garret:
Excuse me.
Al Swearengen:
I don't like the Pinkertons. Being the Hearst combine and their f***ing ilk got their eyes on taking over here, your staying suits my purpose.
