Nucky: You’re caught. Don’t worry we’ll both go down together.
Willie Thompson: What do you think that was about?
Nucky: Wouldn’t take it too seriously. It’s always been pretty easy to get your father’s goat… Just mention Mary Ann Nolan to him.
Willie: Who’s she?
Nucky: 8th grade crush. He wrote her a poem. Happy day when I found it. Can’t blame him for worrying though. You have to think about what’s gonna happen after you’re gone for the sake of all of you. That insurance fellow though. Sounds like a real sharpie.
Willie: I didn’t hear very much of it.
Nucky: You met him? Like your mother said? baby faced? Ever see him before?
Willie: No.
Nucky: You sure now? Whatever you tell me, Will, it’s just between us. That’s what we agreed to.

Oscar: I can’t hardly sleep. All this extra time — you know, when you get old, you ain’t got nothing to do with it.
Chalky: You said done was done.
Oscar: Yeah, but that don’t mean I have to like it. I got the boys runnin’ some action – a little moonshinin’, some numbers, but it don’t amount to much.
Chalky: Where your money go?
Oscar: I ain’t making half as much as you think I took in with the Commodore.. let me take in… I had no choice…
Chalky: He gone now. Three years back.
Oscar: Man, I don’t miss him. I do not miss him. But you did your business with the Thompson boy though.
Chalky: Help him plenty.
Oscar: Yeah, I heard how that buckra paid you back.
Chalky: What I do now, Oscar?
Oscar: You stay here, build something up.
Chalky: That’s for your nephew.
Oscar: Winston ain’t never gonna amount to nothing. You stay here and cut that woman loose before she do you in proper.
Chalky: She ain’t to blame for this.
Oscar: Well if she ain’t, then you are. Ah, damnmit, do what you want. It all winds up the same anyway.
Chalky: What that mean?
Oscar: The day come, everybody gonna run out of road.

June Thompson: He’s drinking again. I wish he wouldn’t. Puts him in a mood. Willie quitting school…
Nucky Thompson: Would you like me to talk to him?
June: No it’ll all be fine. Thank you for a day off.
Nucky: Eli. Eli. (recites Mary Ann Nolan poem) “Tell me what you want to hear / I’ll whisper softly in your ear / all the things I’ll pledge to do / To prove to you my heart is true.”
Eli: Aw, c’mon. Bringing that up for?
Nucky: To see how you react.
Eli: I was 13. She was cute.
Nucky: Maybe I was jealous.
Eli: You were?
Nucky: I didn’t win the Beach Patrol Cup.
Eli: You were good at other things.
Nucky What you suggested — the meeting. I thought it over. You put it together as soon as you can.
Eli. Yeah. I think it’s the best way out of this.

Daughter: I’m awake. I feel so funny.
Chalky: How that?
Daughter: Like a cloud… that’s looking for the sky.
Chalky: Tomorrow we do what you say. First light. We go. Don’t turn back.

Gillian Darmody: No one was there. No one knows. You could just let it go. Just let it go. Get away with it. No one saw you.
Roy Phillips: I saw me. God saw me.
Gillian: You can live with it.
Roy: You can’t know that.
Gillian: Yes, I can… there was no one for me. No one coming to save me. There were things I had to do to survive. It wasn’t my son who died here. It was a boy. An innocent boy. I drowned him. I made up a story. Turned his body to ash. You and I are here together. That’s all that matters. Don’t leave me.
Roy: Who was he?
Gillian: His name was Roger. You can make yourself live with anything.

Oscar Boneau: Your blue tick gone.
Chalky: How you know that?
Oscar: I know every sound this house make including the leaving kind.
Chalky: You ain’t stop her?
Oscar: Why would I?

Sally Wheet: It’s not a conversation unless you say something.
Nucky Thompson: I want out.
