Al chats with EB

- Al and EB have a little chat about unfolding events. I think the best thing about working for Al (besides the money) is the sense of joy and relief you get when he doesn't kill you.

the writing in this show was unmatched. the confusion of context when EB was asking "which was?" as if it where a question rather than a statement. the word play of each and every line delivery was magic. i miss this show so much
Farnum is the tragic character of Deadwood. Aware of his smallness, he can only resort to the most sordid of tactics. He is easy to hate and hard to love, but he is the picture of a human when made weak.
@Willem DaFuckedUp I don't think anyone would (or should) begrudge you favoring EB Farnum. He is a survivor in a place that (in the show) is inimical to human life. He is a man of small means, and manages to hang on by the skin of his teeth in an environment such as this when characters such as Cy and Hearst are stirring the pot. Good fortune does not come his way, and he tries several times to get ahead to little avail. Sounds very relatable to the every day working man to me.
A cockroach can live to old age if it hides enough. Then again, cockroaches are among the most successful creatures on the planet, for better or worse. They stand to inherit Earth, long after creatures far more majestic and intelligent have made their exit, hence our deeply held revulsion of them.
EB Farnum outlasted men far better than himself, not in spite of his moral cowardice but precisely because of it. That fact alone confounds us who would believe in a brighter future, for what future can such men as these build? We know the answer. We have seen it.
Fear not an army of wolves led by sheep, but an army of sheep led by a wolf.
Doc was the most tragic figure in the series, imo.
Ye gods but I love reading intelligent fuckin’ comments like these, amidst all the stupidity.
The hardest characters to play. Its just being tough guy but characters like this...or Fredo in the Godfather.....if they don't deliver the emotional tug a scenes where the bad asses get to bad ass doesn't come off so well
Some of my favorite scenes In Deadwood is just dialog between William Sanderson and Ian McShane.... Just pure gold from two great actors!
Very happy for a lot of these actors who never had a REAL role to play before. Someone got everything these people had to give. Best western I ever saw and I'm pushing 70 years old. Why? Because, the character development, the costumes, the acting, directing and production is all class A and then, to top it all off, the story is a peach. I believe it.
“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”
“My palms are damp”
“They’re always damp”
🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
Possibly the best series ever, certainly the best dialogue I have ever seen in a series!!
Incredible show, rich in atmosphere and character, beautiful.
my palms are damp
they're always damp
yes, sir
My favorite part of deadwood:
Al Swearengen:
I will profane your f***ing remains, E.B.
E.B. Farnum:
Not my remains, Al.
Al Swearengen:
Gabriel's Trumpet will produce you from the ass of a pig.
1:10 is what I think every time a guard is rude to me on Skyrim.
The whole discussion is like between me and guards in Skyrim.
I'm sure I have a comment 10 years ago on this but; it's always nice to update...Milch is such a great writer!
William Sanderson, I love ya. We all have some deep fear and are blessed that we don't have to fall apart like Farnum...almost every episode the guy faces the black empty.
He should be in a Tom Waits song...maybe with a face on the back of his head..."maybe a women's face, or a young girl...to remove it would be suicide...so poor "Edward" was doomed....." Besides, Farnum suffers for us all, and without Farnum on the show...I'd be miserable.
In case there's resurrection of the flesh. EB was hysterical as one of Swearengen's twisted little minions in the camp. God, this show was divine it was so good. It's really quite a shame that they just don't do like a miniseries, movie, or (preferably) one last season ending with Al burning the camp down.
Where a regular bowel movement is a forlorn fucking hope.
This scene is priceless! I'm pretty sure EB shat himself right after his massive coronary lol.
How about when Al threatened him after Bullock beat the piss out of Farnum? Farnum looked like he'd seen a ghost when Al said Gabriel's trumpet would herald him from the ass end of a pig. Lol.
@@TrepidRelic Lmfao!!!!!! Jimmy the dope fiend shit himself and Al.made him jump off the balcony!!! Lmfaooooo!!!! "Now lay there in the muck until I get down there!!!!" LMAO!!
thank you so much for putting this up -the character Al (who Ian McShane does such an incredible job of portraying) truly loathes in such a beautifully pure way that I love him and this scene is so reminiscent of an angry Lord burning the edges of a certain camp ... Benny when you call me, you can call me Al... comes to mind as well.
Eh?
I didn't think E.B. Would last more than three episodes.
LMAO same here, I thought he'd be killed in a minute. In fact I was expecting an awful lot of major characters to die, since the Wild West was absolutely ruthless and unpredictably violent. I'm still amazed that in all 3 seasons, only our beloved Ellsworth was murdered (plus Wild Bill, if you count him as a major character).
@@jonathanturbide2232 Preacher Smith too
Much like real life. Sometimes you are surprised who check out early and likewise those that don’t.
EB when nervous should have said that only Tyrell knows those answers.
Al really enjoys intimidating EB, haha
I love that last line ("Can't help yourself, can you?"), though the context isn't present in this clip. IIRC, earlier in their conversation, or in a previous scene from this episode, Al berates E.B. for constantly repeating what he's just said in the form of a question - partially to make sure he's following what was said, partially as a nervous tic, I guess. It's a great example of Al's tendency to play, intellectually and rhetorically, with his inferiors as a cat plays with a wounded mouse.
I don't know about that. I think Al, in his own way, is trying to find out if EB has sold out.
I thought it was a jab at his scheming nature, because earlier he kept trying to lowball alma on the claim offer despite al's specific instructions to not do so.
@@FredCDobbs-er4qd of course you wouldn't know about that. People that are wrong are typically clueless. It was CLEARLY a reference to the earlier conversation about EB repeating himself.
@@calilyricist24 People who are typically clueless are mostly wrong. You jackass.
@@FredCDobbs-er4qd you really are slow aren't you? You just agreed with me and didn't realize it 😆🤣
Now that's how you answer a question! With another question. I always throw it back onto the questionnaire. That way they show you part of their hand and now you have a better position to work from.
holy shit, I can't wait to see Ian McShane in Game of Thrones; man his acting is intense in this scene: "Is something... wrong?"
I can promise that I would crap and piss my pants if I was ever grilled like that by Al Swearengen.
E.B. is an adorable worm He never lets one down. 🙂
Masters in Acting 101 for all that want to act...
Learn, study this, it's perfection.
Not get eaten by the pigs in case there is resurrection of the flesh lol
The look on Al's face at 1:58 when he accepts EB's explanation and knows he can trust him to tell the truth because of how much terror he is in. EB was a perfect bagman, smart enough to follow simple orders without fucking them up but dumb enough to get caught if he tried to hide anything. Al's other henchmen weren't as smart as EB, Dan Dority was his most loyal but too quick to violence. Johnny was also very loyal and probably his hardest working but too stupid to trust with anything complicated. So, EB was venal but cowardly enough to inform on himself whenever pressed by Al, not unlike a priest at confession. Wonderful story and writing.
When they’re calculating the cost for the vaccine, Eb is able to divide the amount each would need to contribute within seconds of the proposed cost.
In 1875, this would be a level bordering genius. Al definitely see’s Eb’s worth.
@@davidrea6310 Hard to skim off the top if you're bad at math.
BRING IT BACK!!!!!
"You gotta trust someone."
I don't even like 'the theatre', but I would pay good money to see actors half as competent as these put on a deadwood play with this dialogue.
Al is my role model
swearengen is the bad assest character ever conceived of
EB is in some sense the essence of Deadwood. The core.
affirmative!!!
If they ever decide to do a remake of "Jaws", Ian McShane would be the perfect Quint.
wistoncap or Vlad Dracula
I dont understand the bit "Which was important to me"?
i really hate the fact that i can never watch a nother episode a again
@hyenachase Yes. He's a strong actor. I never heard of him untill deadwood.
MichaelF really?
Everyone talks about the acting ability of Ian McShane and they are right, it's brilliant, but without the support of the actors around him, especially William Sanderson (EB) it wouldn't be as intimidating. Sanderson's acting showed true fear in this scene adding to the "Al" mystique.
Jeezzus Ian McShane could scare Michael Myers.
Al was a murderous MF'er but it was always EB that I was rooting for to be fed to the pigs.
Similar conversation to me and my twin... save the threat of murder and destruction. Encouraging to the sentiments i felt regarding my...personal predilections. Perfect timing yup what i been dealing with
Rule 1: never play Poker against Al.
Rule 2: never double cross Al.
Rule 3: stay on Al’s good side!
EB always looks like he hasn’t had a bath in a month a sweaty mess
E.B. needs to put some cinnamon on his peaches 🍑 and relax.
Alan? Think this may be the only time hes ca;;ed that in the entire run
You can judge the desperation and degradation of the whole community and settlement by watching the deterioration of EB’s suit of clothing.
Farnum really REALLY can't help himself, he's so... pathetic he has to be looking out for self interest in everything he does. But I think Al understands that more than anyone, no matter how it annoys him.
I appreciate that this is a drama .....but. To compare Swearengen to Tony Soprano in terms of ruthlessness is absurd. Al has no family and only does what will be best for him. Tony is weaker cos he deep down has to think of his kids and family in general. When Al says "If I wanted to I could burn the whole fucking camp down. Cut your throat....etc he's being totally honest. Tony is a family man and therefore (very impressive) vulnerable. Plus the writing by Milch in Deadwood is IMO among the greatest dramatic prose of all time.
To me, there's a degree to which Al has a heart of gold, while Tony is vice and sin in human form. Al is more vile and ruthless because he's a pimp but we seem him do good things for the camp repeatedly, while Tony has no such side to his character.
AL genuinely cares about the community
