Episode 25: Tell Your God to Ready for Blood (Panning down from the cloudy heavens, we hear birds calling out as the town of Deadwood is starting a new day. Al steps out onto his balcony, shaking his head, sipping his coffee. We hear a rooster crow, Al looks down into the thoroughfare, where Dan Dority has stepped out, he looks up at Al.) Dan: Fixin’ toward a bloody outcome, boss. Al: Absenting myself don’t change your fuckin’ instructions. (Dan looks resigned to the situation at hand, and heads back inside the Gem. We hear hammering in the distance and pan over to see 3 men erecting hustings. Inside the Grand Central, we see George Hearst laying on the floor next to his bed, staring up at the ceiling. Back in the Gem, several Cornishmen are at the bar, talking in their native tongue. A man sits at a table behind them, clearly annoyed at them.) Annoyed Man: Parp. (On of the Cornishmen turn and look at him briefly) Parp. Parp. (He picks up a shot as if toasting them) Parp. (He drinks, and the foreign chatter continues.) Parp. Corny 1: Slainte. Corny 2: Slainte. (They toast and drink a shot) Annoyed Man: Parp. (He toasts their backs and drinks a shot. Dan keeps a close eye on the situation and moves to a better vantage point. The Cornishmen have taken notice of the annoyed man and are talking amongst themselves they sound annoyed, near as I can tell.

Lila is leaning over a sleeping Morgan Earp. Aw, sleeping like a baby, sucking his thumb even! Con opens the door and gestures for Lila to kick her bed buddy out. Leon emerges from a room across the hall, with a bleary-eyed Wyatt following. How Morgan got Lila and Wyatt got some no-named Bella whore, I’ll never know. Stupid whore. Morgan who? Wyatt’s the one to go for! Sheesh woman, think! But I digress, Morgan waves his hat to Lila, and she gives her signature come-hither smirk back to him. They boys leave. At The House That Bullock Built, Seth and Martha are talking in the kitchen.) Seth: One-third of six is two. The combination of the safe in the hardware store. Which you should commit to memory against eventualities. Martha: As was threatened by the arrival of those men last night. Seth: Yes. There are deeds, some 7% bonds, certificates, sundry receivables, one-third of six is two. Martha: One-three-ought-six-two. Seth: Yes. Martha: The children and I are moving into the new schoolhouse today. Seth: Good. (He smiles, she smiles as well. Seth sits at the table.) I’ll walk with you. (Martha’s smile falters just a wee bit, perhaps in surprise at his jovial offer to walk with her and the children to the new schoolhouse. Inside the new schoolhouse, Mose and Joanie are looking at a tree left standing in the middle of the schoolroom.) Joanie: I wish we’d found out the last part for Mrs.

    Episode 26: “I Am Not the Fine Man You Take Me For.” Directed by: Dan Attias Written by: David Milch and Regina Corrado Transcribed by Cristi Brockway Free Fuckin’ Gratis for the Fans. (Late at night, Al lays awake in bed, we hear a drunken hooplehead in the thoroughfare speechifying…) Hooplehead: I am not the fine man you take me for. No no. (He paces back and forth in front of the hustings…climbing up as Al turns to his side in bed.) I come in April to sell a string of horses and try my luck in the streams. What I got for the stock I lost at the wheel, and the flake I washed up I drank the fuck away. I don’t know as I’ll get home at all. I sold my boots. I owe $9 to a whore. (The wood creaks as the man tumbles over the side of the hustings, breaking his neck as he lands in the muck of the thoroughfare. Al awakens early the next morning, and looks out the window. Moments later, He, Dan, and Johnny are surveying the scene in the nearly deserted thoroughfare.) Johnny: It looks like he fell off the platform. Dan: It’s just a broke-necked hoople, Al. Al: That he posed us no threat was the judgment you come to even as you fuckin’ snored. Dan: Turns on watch, Johnny, until this Goddamn Hearst business settles out. Al: And not that we lack options like the sleep from which none awaken. (Johnny turns and starts walking back to the Gem, revealing his bumcheeks peeking through his open flap) Would you close your flap, that I don’t forego my boiled eggs? (Upstairs in the Grand Central, Hearst finishes drawing up a letter, seals it with wax and hands it to Captain Turner, who leaves.

  • Calamity Jane and Female Masculinity in Deadwood
    Dirty Words in Deadwood Nicolas Witschi Published by University of Nebraska Press For additional information about this book http://muse.jhu.edu/books/9780803264892 Access provided by The Ohio State University (29 Oct 2013 13:13 GMT) 9 Calamity Jane and Female Masculinity in Deadwood Linda Mizejewski While Linda Mizejewski, like other essayists in this collection, considers genre, using revisionist critics of the Western who read “this genre as a space where masculinity, far from being bulletproof and monolithic, has always been un- settled and confl icted,” she also initiates a series of essays that use recent meth- odologies — the construction and performance of gender, queer studies, spatial geography, disability studies — to examine the spaces and characters of the series. Assuming the concepts about the performance of gender put forth by Judith Butler, she turns to Judith Halberstam’s defi nition of “female masculinity” to explore “Deadwood’s dismantling of essentialist masculinity in the Western.” However, rather than revisit the familiar fi gures wrought by John Wayne, Gary Cooper, and Clint Eastwood, Mizejewski focuses on the representation of a woman. Offering her own revisionist reading of the genre, she argues that the fi gure of Calamity Jane points to “the presence of diverse bodies and sexualities within the histories and legends of the West.” Ultimately the representation of Jane serves “as a register of contemporary cultural contentions about gender and sexuality, a dynamic that began in the earliest fi ctionalizations of this

Berlatar pada akhir , Deadwood menceritakan sebuah kisah pada kota kecil bernama Deadwood yang terletak di Dakota Selatan. Masalah muncul dari kiri dan kanan karena adanya penambangan emas di dekat kota itu. Pembuat sekaligus penulis cerita David Milch NYPD Blue dengan mahirnya menangkap secara vulgar bagaimana setiap penduduk melalui harinya. Mulai dari bagaimana setiap penduduk menangani masalah yang muncul, bagaimana sebuah kota harus bereaksi jika ada penduduk ataupun pengunjung yang datang, sampai bagaimana setiap karakter harus berubah menjadi yang lebih baik atau lebih buruk. David Milch juga tidak takut untuk menggunakan sejarah asli dan menggabungkannya dengan taburan fiksi. Jika kamu belum tahu, hampir kebanyakan karakter yang kamu lihat adalah asli, seperti Seth Bullock, Al Swearengen, E. Farnum, dan Wild Bill Hickok. Dan itu bekerja, di mana masih banyak serial lainnya yang gagal untuk menggabungkan sejarah dan fiksi. Terlihat, Deadwood mampu menangkap kejam dan sinisnya sebuah kota pada akhir tanpa mengorbankan keseruan dan ketegangan. Yang benar- benar bersinar dari acara ini adalah karakternya. Setiap episode dari Deadwood , kamu dapat melihat warna-warni sifat penduduk kota kecil ini.

    Episode 13 “A Lie Agreed Upon, Part 1” Directed by: Ed Bianchi Written by: David Milch Episode 13: “A Lie Agreed Upon, Part 1” (Outside of Deadwood, we see horses running, carrying a stagecoach. Inside, we see who we now know to be Martha Bullock, her son William, Maddie and a set of three new whores seated across from them. William looks excited, the whores looked bored. As the stagecoach jostles them around, William is watching the cleavage on the third whore bouncing away. He smiles. Martha catches him and kicks his foot. Maddie is looking out the stagecoach curtains. Cut to the hills right outside of Deadwood where men are erecting telephone poles.) --- (Alma’s room. She opens the door, Seth, on the other side, takes off his hat…) Seth: Morning. Alma: Good morning, Mr. Bullock. Sophia: (Studying at the desk with her new tutor) Ox, Box, Fox. Miss Isringhausen: Mr. Bullock. Seth: Good morning. Good morning, Sophia. Sorry to interrupt your lesson. Sophia: We’re finished. Miss Isringhausen: No, we’re not, Sophia, and we’ll continue downstairs. (They exit, Alma shuts the door after them.) --- (Al’s office. We see the back of his head…) Adams: Hills get divided into three counties. Each county has a commissioner. Al: Appointed by fucking who? Adams: The governor. Al: When the fuck does that happen? Adams: It already did. Al: (Leans forward) Anyone I know? Adams: (Shakes his head no.) They’re all from Yankton. Al: (looks down) Well, being as you’re the bearer of unsettling news, why don’t you step the fuck inside? (Adams closes the door) No one from the fucking hills, huh? Adams: All Pennington’s people.

  • South Dakota History
    VOL. 41, NO. 1 SPRING 2011 South Dakota History 1 Index to South Dakota History, Volumes 1–40 (1970–2010) COMPILED BY RODGER HARTLEY Copyright 2011 by the South Dakota State Historical Society, Pierre, S.Dak. 57501-2217 ISSN 0361-8676 USER’S GUIDE Over the past forty years, each volume (four issues) of South Dakota History has carried its own index. From 1970 to 1994, these indexes were printed separately upon comple- tion of the last issue for the year. If not bound with the volume, as in a library set, they were easily misplaced or lost. As the journal approached its twenty-fifth year of publica- tion, the editors decided to integrate future indexes into the back of every final issue for the volume, a practice that began with Volume 26. To mark the milestone anniversary in 1995, they combined the indexes produced up until that time to create a twenty-five-year cumulative index. As the journal’s fortieth anniversary year of 2010 approached, the need for another compilation became clear. The index presented here integrates the past fifteen volume indexes into the earlier twenty-five-year cumulative index. While indexers’ styles and skills have varied over the years, every effort has been made to create a product that is as complete and consistent as possible. Throughout the index, volume numbers appear in bold-face type, while page numbers are in book-face. Within the larger entries, references to brief or isolated pas- sages are listed at the beginning, while more extensive references are grouped under the subheadings that follow.
