Quotes from Cy Tolliver

Ah, the evil Cy. The man who makes Al look like a pretty nice guy. Not much humor here, unless you like yours on the dark side.

Season 1 episode 4

Some boys just can’t go near a cliff without jumpin’ off.

Andy: Name’s Cramed. I’d like a room. I’d like exclusive use of a safe, and I’d like to shoot some dice.
Cy: I’d like to think this is the first day of a looooong friendship, Mr. Cramed.

Season 1 episode 5

Eddie: What did you send him to get?
Cy: If I haven’t said yet, Eddie, you think askin’s gonna make me?

Season 1 episode 8

(when Sol protests his henchmen beating up the two grifter kids) Take ‘em the fuck inside, boys. (to Sol) And you can help your delicate sensibilities by turning the fuck away.

(This part following doesn't exactly qualify as a quote, but I had to include it as an example of one of the most brilliantly, horrifyingly brutal scenes I've ever watched – the scene which made me think maybe Al wasn't quite so bad)

Cy: (to the young girl Flora, who is beaten almost senseless) I tell you, sweetheart, your face come out of that in pretty good shape. Matters took a happy turn, you could still probably work. (Door opens to Joanie) Come on in, honey. Over here on what the dagos call my sinister side. (back to Flora) Although your beady little rat eyes don’t seem like they’re takin’ in the view. You bust somethin’ up there, sweetheart? (hits her on the head several times) Does that fuckin’ hurt you?! You fuckin’ understand me?! (Joanie looks away) See, that upsets Joanie now. "Oh, Cy, do up the boy. My God, I can’t stand to see the other." You want me to see to the boy, Joanie? ‘Cause you know I’m clay in your hands.
Eddie: Cy.
Cy: What is it, Eddie? We could all be elsewhere?
Eddie: Nothing but true.
Cy: (to Flora's brother) Are you awake, Miles? Don’t be fuckin’ passin’ out, youngster. Next fuckin’ breath you draw, the smell of fuckin’ sulfur’s liable to be strong in your nose. Where is your fuckin’ nose, anyway? Fuck it, Miles! You’re found fuckin’ guilty of bein’ a cunt. I’m hereby passin’ judgment for you lettin’ this little bitch push you around and tellin’ you what to do. When you were supposed to be a man and showin’ her the fuckin’ rules! (Slaps him) You hear me, Miles, and for bein’ the cunt you are now, before you could have been a man, done your fuckin’ part, you little piece of shit. (Shoots him. Joanie tries to run away) I know you don’t want out of here, Joanie.
Joanie: Don’t hurt her, Cy.
Cy: Don’t hurt her? You mean before I kill her?
Joanie: Y-yes.
Cy: Listen to that, Flora. That’s the person you robbed, had those kind of feelings for you. (Finds the knife in her bonnet and holds it up tauntingly as Flora tries to focus on it) But I’m the one you stabbed. (Waves the knife around.) See? (Flora tries grabbing for it) I think you’re fuckin’ skull’s broken, Flora. You’re trying for the knife, it’s maybe a foot to your left. Ah, this is fuckin’ pitiful. (Throws the knife aside, holds out a gun to Joanie) Why don’t you put that out of its misery?

Season 1 episode 9

Cy: The hell you must have gone through talking to that leech, Al. Hereafter, you let me take my fair share of the weight in those conversations.
Al: Yeah, thanks, Cy.

All this crap about what is and isn’t natural, whatever does it for a fella is what does it, ain’t that right?

Eddie: Fuck you, Cy. Fuck you.
Cy: Yeah, now, now. That’s where I draw the line. Friend or no friend, and us wantin’ to get along better or not.
