From Episode 26: “I Am Not the Fine Man You Take Me For” :There is a fair bit of wisdom in the words the writer put in Al's mouth.Dan: If we know Hearst is coming, Boss, why the fuck don’t we strike first?
Al: From the moment we leave the forest, Dan, it’s all a giving up and adjusting.
Dan: Across the thoroughfare to slit that cocksucker’s throat.
Al: We forego the rock for the dagger, learn distraction’s use and deceptions before the dagger is employed—spirits, women, games of chance.
Dan: I’m older, and I’m much less friendly to fuckin’ change.
Al: Change ain’t lookin’ for friends. Change calls the tune we dance to.
