Rust Cohle:
I'd consider myself a realist, alright? But in philosophical terms I'm what's called a pessimist.

Marty Hart:
Okay, what's that mean?

Rust Cohle:
It means I'm bad at parties.

Marty Hart:
Let me tell you, you ain't great outside of parties either.

Rust Cohle:
I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, this accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody's nobody. I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing. Walk hand in hand into extinction. One last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

Marty Hart:
So what's the point of getting out of bed in the morning?

Rust Cohle:
I tell myself I bear witness, but the real answer is that it's obviously my programming. And I lack the constitution for suicide.

Marty Hart:
Stop saying shit like that. It's unprofessional.

Rust Cohle:
I think about my daughter now, and what she was spared. Sometimes I feel grateful. The doctor said she didn't feel a thing, went straight into a coma. Then, somewhere in that blackness, she slipped off into another, deeper kind. Isn't that a beautiful way to go out, painlessly as a happy child? Trouble with dying later is you've already grown up. The damage is done. It's too late. You got kids? I think of the hubris it must take, to yank a soul out of nonexistence into this meat; and force a life into this thresher. As to my daughter, she spared me the sin of being a father.

You know me. I don't see the connection between two dead cats and a murdered woman. [pause] But I'm from Texas.

Rust Cohle:
Came close another time... Lori. Maggie introduced us. It broke off. It was for the best, you know, I gave her cause. I can be hard to live with. I don't mean to, but I can be... critical. [sigh] Sometimes I think I'm just not good for people, that it's not good for them to be around me. I wear 'em down. They... they get unhappy.

Maynard Gilbough:
Hmm... yeah, I think the job does that to a lot of guys. Changes ya. Some guys just notice, that's all.

Rust Cohle:
I can't say the job made me this way. More like me being this way made me right for the job. I used to think about it more, but you reach a certain age you know who you are. Now I live in a little room, out in the country behind a bar, work four nights a week, and in between I drink. And there ain't nobody there to stop me. I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that.

Marty Hart:
[about Beth] That girl's not 18. Sheriff know you got underage workin' here?

Jan:
What do you know about where that girl's been? Where she come from? You wanna know Beth's situation 'fore she ran out on her uncle?

Marty Hart:
There are other places she could go.

Jan:
Such holy bullshit from you. It's a woman's body, ain't it? A woman's choice.

Marty Hart:
Well, she don't look like a woman to me. At that age she is not equipped to make those kinda choices. But I guess you don't give a shit what kind of damage she's doin' to herself as long as you're makin' your money.

Jan:
Girls walk this Earth all the time screwin' for free. Why is it you add business to the mix and boys like you can't stand the thought? I'll tell you. It's cause suddenly you don't own it the way you thought you did.

Marty Hart:
[Gives money to Beth] Do something else.

[they leave]

Rust Cohle:
That a down payment?

Marty Hart:
Is shitting on any moment of decency part of your job description?

Ray Velcoro:
A turn here, a turn there, and it goes on for years, becomes something else. I'm sorry, you know, for the man I became, the father I was... I hope you got the strength to learn from that. And I hope you got no doubts how much I loved you, son. You're better than me. If I'd been stronger, I would've been more like you. Hell, son, if everyone was stronger, they'd be more like you.

Brett Woodard:
So why? Why punch in? Why the suit?

Wayne Hays:
I don't ask myself questions like that. Could be I'm too chicken-shit, Mr. Woodard.
