Deadwood - Hearst shares his philosophy on gold

[Crazydog7]

It takes a special kind of crazy to make Swearebgen seem fair and balanced. Eat shit and die Hearst.

[michaelmikelmicc]

This guy is a sociopathic weirdo. He cries out of sheer frustration that he hasn't yet been able to wreck the entire town.

[jpowell180]

I almost expect Hearst to then say, "...Gold. Always believe in your soul..you've got the POWER to know you're INDESTRUCTIBLE...always believe it!".

[Zebonka]

Hearst is like me when I'm playing Minecraft.

[gnarlybirdman]

This was a man with real power, not like asshole modern bankers or the like

[samfilmkid]

as much as i hate hearst, he's a fascinating character sometimes

[ravenouscolonelhart]

interesting to see the most evil character in the show have this vulnerability, actually come to think of it cy and w had their weak spots too.

[charlatanfilms]

This is the organizing principle behind the entire story arc of the show. That people agree that gold (or anything else) has a value allows for the creation of a civilization. It carves a town out of the wilderness, creates society's rules and even allows Hearst to refrain from killing Odell.

[ontariobuds]

@charlatanfilms But Odell died, do you know how? I always assumed it was because of Hearst.

[Nexus974]

@charlatanfilms Well put!

[GarlandFraser]

Lol the young guy's from Smart Guy.

[TheExposeTube]

@GarlandFraser He wasn't that smart here. Hearst was playing with him. He knew from the second he set eyes on him that he was there to fuck him. Shit even his mum knew he was going to get himself killed.

[GarlandFraser]

@TheExposeTube He wasn't smart in Smart Guy either, if you even watched that black sitcom.

[msa1985]

@TheExposeTube how did he die? i don't remember

[TheExposeTube]

@msa1985 It happened off screen. He arranged to meet some Hearst agents in New York. As I remember all you get is Hearst telling Aunt Lou his body had been found in an alley

[msa1985]

@TheExposeTube Hearst had his agents kill him or they were going to meet and found him in the alley?

I keep forgetting to buy the fucking dvds.
