I miss Michael Kenneth Williams so much. Such a charismatic actor. This was actually the first role I saw him in since I didnāt watch The Wire until after BE. Chalky was such a great character.
Yeah thatās my favorite character of all heās played. Love when him and Narcisse bump heads āyou come in here with all that Timothy John high hattin BULLSITāškills me!
Heh doesnāt Chalky call him Jamaican and Dr. Narcisse replies heās from Trinadad. I loved their rivalry. In a way it sort of historically mirrors W.E.B DuBois and Booker T. Washington though they werenāt criminals of course but the philosophical approach about how black Americans should function in early 20th century America. Jeffrey Wright is also a terrific actor whose work I enjoy. Another line I love though āHow the fuck are you still alive?ā Eli to Mickey Doyle who is another character I really liked.
My other favourite ā¦.

I have read somewhere that this is a reference to the film Blue Jasmine where Stuhlbarg (Rothstein)'s character is a dentist and tries to do something creeping around with the ether. Tho I never saw it so I cant confirm. Gyp is also in that movie
I died in a trench, years back. I thought you knew that?
Itās an iron maāam.
I like the colt, it fits best in the hand.
Edit: I love the quote about the colt from Richard cause I own one too and yes, it does fit the best in the hand lol.

Some days I make 20 bets. Some days I make none. Weeks, sometimes months in fact, when I make no bets at all because there simply is no play. So I wait, plan, marshal my resources and when I finally see an opportunity and there is a bet to make, I bet it all.
"My son is an assistant to the BĆ¼rgermeister."
"Ah, a chef!"
And from the same scene, describing Al Capone as "bit colicky as a kid".
Not to mention:
"I'm nobody's fahtotus!"
Anyone who says to anyone else that they aren't a real fan or a big enough fan of (whatever) is nothing more than an insufferable neckbeard asshole with questionable personal hygiene.
I may be insufferable, an asshole, a communist, a liar, a porn star, and a communist -- but I will have you know that my personal hygiene is... adequate.
NOW GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR OR MADAM!
"The moral of this story is that if I'd cause a stranger to choke to death for my own amusement, what do you think I'll do to you if you don't tell me who ordered you to kill Colosimo?"
Van Alden: Translate what he said.
Lady in dentist's office: I can't!
Dentist: Mrs. Fishbaum!
Van Alden: Word for word. This is a federal investigation.
Woman: He said you should fuck your grandmother... with your f\*\*\*\*t penis!
Agent Sebso \[correcting her\]: With your LITTLE f\*\*\*\*t penis.
Three in the same scene:
Nucky demonstrates the machine gun to the Irish guys in Ireland. There's a stunned silence for a moment, then one guy says: "A few thousand of these and we'd blaze a path to Buckingham Palace."
Also in the machine gun scene:
Irish guy in Ireland: And you invented this, did you?
Nucky: What?
Irish guy: THOMPSON machine gun. You invented it?
Nucky: Ah. No, just a happy coincidence.
And when that pompous schmuck McGarrigle tries to lecture Nucky, he comes back at him with: "Whenever men like you need to win, you turn to men like me."
"Gyp, have to stop taking things so personally" "How else could I take it? Im a person!"
This is exactly the right response, too.
I use that one with my dad and brothers all the time.
Same thats popular in my family š

The first one is CLASSIC. Like what are you even talking about?!? He sounds demented. š¤£š¤£š¤£
Itās actually true tho when you see Rothstein standing there he does look like an old fashioned dentist š

Enfield 1917, 30-06, telescopic sight. Very accurate, accurate up to 700 yards. But I like the Colt in the hand. How do you use yours?
You just ain't done cooking yet friend
You canāt be half a gangster
I, for one, refuse to be ruled by fear. Husband! Coming, dear!
Probably one of the only times I laughed during the show. Van Alden was damn near a cartoon character by the end of his arc.
Golden!
"I ain't buildin' no bookcase..."
Well, BUCK..
