- Al Swearengen: What are you doing here?
- Richardson: Too afraid.
- Al Swearengen: If you were too afraid, you wouldn't be here.
- Richardson: Too afraid to explain.
- Johnny Burns: He's got a note pinned on him, Al.
- Al Swearengen: Take it off him. Then stick him in the eye with the fucking pin.
- Johnny Burns: He don't mean it.
- Al Swearengen: Tell him "Nothing".
- Richardson: I'll just keep quiet.
- Al Swearengen: No. Tell E.B., "Nothing's going on." And then tell him, "If I wanted to tell you anything, I'd have told you. Don't send the imbecile over with no more notes."
- Richardson: I can't remember all that!
- Al Swearengen: Can you remember "Nothing's going on"?
- Richardson: Yes.
- Al Swearengen: Tell him that, then.
- Richardson: Thank you.
