Reverend Smith & Al Swearengen - Deadwood

Al cries like a girl

Who—who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall, shall affliction or distress or — or persecution or—
or hunger or nakedness?
Or—or peril or sword?
Nay, in all these things, we more than conquer through him that hath loved us. I am-I am persuaded that, uh, that neither life nor death, nor—nor angels, nor—
nor—nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present or things to come, or—nor heights, nor depths, nor any other creature, from the love of—of God! And—and Jesus Christ our Lord.

Al Swearengen never cries like a girl.

He cries like Al Swearengen.

Swearengen had a brother who had the same affliction. Probably tugged at his heart seeing someone else that way. Awesome acting, great series.

@keremkrk Your dad sheds manly tears whenever he thinks what a little queer you turned out to be.

a big thank you to david milch for this piece of art. The figures Al and Reverend Smith are living on opposite sites. Al wants certainty, the figure Reverend is all about hope. These worlds meet here and Al is touched by the consequence the reverend is following up throughout all his own deteriation. For me it's one of the most touching seen, because it's political and also personal.But Al, as Realist and Survivor does not allow himself to follow up on this. This is no pitty. I doubt that.

@bullvine74 The reason Swearengen pities him is because he had a brother with a similar affliction. I sincerely doubt Swearengen has any affection for men of the cloth.

[bullvine74]

@hschan4 Good point, but remember your talking about Swearengen, he is not a man that gives up his compassion for anyone, if so he would crying for everyone that has suffered in deadwood, i believe you missed the point friend.

@bullvine74 I doubt it was because he was "a man of god", but because he was human.
