Geri's delivery is so spot on and perfect. Milch's genius isn't just dialogue-it's finding the perfect actors for a role. Deadwood had perfect casting.
This show was so well written. No show comes close to matching the vernacular and dialogue. This simply is a masterpiece. Al and Jewel shine here. Amazing actors.
There was speculation that Jewel was his sister, and that they both grew up in the orphanage. He made sure to take her with him when he left Chicago (I think it was Chicago). Of course this is just speculation, but I like to believe it.
@@ered203 yes Al took Jewel under his wing and protected her when they were both young... Wow I never thought about her being his sister. That would explain why she was the only one will him when he dies and they were both singing the song from their childhood. Deadwood is genius.
@@ered203 I don't believe this is true, Trixie brings up Jewel to Jane about Al buying Jewel as a discount prostitute, even though she knows it's a lie to deny he did it to protect her, it's clear that Al bought her. Also, Al's interactions really seem to suggest there's no sibiling relationship, from how he treats the con-artist siblings, or missing his mother who gave him to a pimp, to his memories of his brother, who Al misses openly and was also disabled, if Jewel were Al's sister, we'd know it.
Al protected jewel in his own way and their relationship is one of if not the best in the show. The subtext of their interactions really show the man inside al rather than the monster pimp he shows to everyone else.
I haven’t seen this show in many years. But now as I enjoy these clips on UA-cam and have been matured by life I have a new appreciation for its brilliance.
Behind the rough exterior, I notice Al gingerly takes the bucket from Jewell showing he really does care about her. He's also covering up the fact that he's genuinely worried about Trixie and whether the 'snatch grab' pissed her off enough to not come back. I can visualize a younger Al and Jewell at the orphanage doing the same thing-scrubbing floors and Al helping out and covering for Jewell. Al knows everything that happens in Deadwood, I'm sure even the man who made fun of Jewell as she struggled down the muddy road to Doc's. The man (if he was lucky) probably woke up with several teeth missing along with a broken jaw. While merciless, Al had this rare soft side that was beautiful the few times we saw it.
Al Swearengen is my all time favorite character. Because he's extremely brave, tough, and fearless of his enemies. But most of all, he's extremely intelligent. Yet, when he grabs a woman's snatch purely out of anger, and squeezes it to hurt her, he doesn't already know beforehand, that she's likely gonna be mad about it afterwards. Lol.
It's Al being genuinely worried over Trixie because they were lovers. This is something alien to Al who'd never admit that he does actually have feelings for other people. It's hilarious because it's Al tiptoeing around his feelings and so he desperately questions Jewell as he'd only do because it's his sister. (While he's actually helping her on his hands and knees-a show of affection in Al's weird, twisted way while he berates her. It's also showing how Trixie has brought THE Al Swearingen to his knees inwardly.)
I love both characters but it wouldn't work. They'd be able to collaborate on a situational basis because of their "code", but Omar would be abrasive to the type of relationship Al would want to have with him. Al would try setting guidelines for Omar to operate within and he'd mess with Al just for trying to tell him what to do. Al would be abrasive to Omar not "bending the knee". They would almost certainly view each other as threats.
I reckon Al scrubbed it a) because he needed something to do with his hands and b) he knew Jewel couldn't physically get the blood out so did it himself
Jewel is my favorite character after Al and the Doc. My mom has lived her life with a similar brain injury to her character, and has similar physical issues but my mom's are far worse. One eye, wayyyy worse pimp (i wrote limp but that's a fun error contextually so let's leave it 😂), and the equivalent of a limp but arm/wrist/hand version. Jewel having healthy smart children is a less crazy thought than my mom having done so. I admire Jewel's always positive attitude despite being ridiculed.
i think he was telling the kid to talk like johnny because johnny had "got a shot" (at doc cochran's ?) and he wanted the kid to make like he had got the shot as well even though he hadn't.
I never watched this series but now I've seen a few clips. I can't help but notice it's chock full of obscenities. I wonder, did they swear that much in the old west, and did they use the same terminology that we do today?
Yes to the first, but no to the second. The West, especially in the form of mining camps, was a extremely vulgar place, but the vulgarities were usually religious blasphemy - lots of "Damns" or "Hells" instead of Deadwood's dialogue. David Milch deliberately modernised the swearing while maintaining the rather florid prise style of the time to capture the sense of what the West's language would have felt like, rather than the literal truth of how it was. I just finished the series the other day by the by, and I cannot recommend it enough. Handily become my favourite TV show of all time.
"She didn't have an attitude. She just said her pussy hurt." Never in a million years could I come up with dialogue that good!
Geri's delivery is so spot on and perfect. Milch's genius isn't just dialogue-it's finding the perfect actors for a role. Deadwood had perfect casting.
"Want me to do some more?"
"No- shut the fuck up.." LOL

Al loved Jewel...as much as he was capable, and in his own fucked-up way.

I like how she insults Al when he's injured. She said "Stop dragging your fucking leg". What Al use to say to her before the leg brace.
NOW THAT'S HOW YOU SCRUB A FUCKIN' BLOOD STAIN!
Geri Jewell Is an awesome actress. Facts of life owe Her
'.. points made w the snatch grabbing!..' Hilarious!

Wait jewel is his sister in the show?!
@@corning1 no she isn't. Al bought her to be his "10 cent whore". Trixie told this story to Star and said it's Al's way of looking after her
@@corning1I didn't know that either
I love the scenes between Al and Jewell, especially the "Bacon and Eggs!" scene...fucking hillarious
Love Al and Jewell!
Al would make a helluva salesman of cleaning products :D
Jewel was such a great character
May have been the greatest show ever.
It’s a travesty that it only got 3 seasons when it deserved at least 6.
One of the classic scenes, I just adore it!
"and talk like him, until further instructed."
lol
Never got that. What does Al mean?
@@SlimDavenport The other guy lost his voice so he was telling him to shut the fuck up lol.
@@SlimDavenport He was told to stay quiet
@@nurkenrustem6044 ah, OK
HBO needs to make a show where they team Al Swearengen up with Omar Little as they travel through time being the two baddest motherfuckers in history.
indeed

You can bet Ian McShane loved playing Al.
Who Trixie? No Queen Fucking Victoria!
Lowkey jewel is the best charachter
this except for the lowkey part
I reckon Al scrubbed it a) because he needed something to do with his hands and b) he knew Jewel couldn't physically get the blood out so did it himself
I always had the feeling that Al couldn´t save his brother so he saved Jewel
You can tell even when Al insults Jewel that they care about each other
"There! Now that's how you scrub a fucking blood stain!"
My favorite show. I miss is SO much. Love these scene!
Just for the record, she is not retarded, she has cerebal palsy.
This is the funniest fucking scene I've ever seen. I am rewatching deadwood again and forgot all about it.
Too bad for Al, missed Queen Fucking Victoria when she dropped by for a visit yesterday.
I meant I miss IT so much, love THIS scene.
See? I miss the show so much I can't spell.
Geri Jewell is bad ass!
Al was such a compassionate sort....
talk about the "Facts of Life!""""
The actor that played her was a comedian, I’ve seen a few videos of her sets and she was quite funny
JacobMcandles - Because Johnny lost his voice/could barely speak...in other words, Al was telling the kid to be quiet.
Jewel is my favorite character after Al and the Doc. My mom has lived her life with a similar brain injury to her character, and has similar physical issues but my mom's are far worse.

Swearengen and Trump on snatch grabs lol
Points made with the snatchgrabs!
It's an effective method
@@TexasTeaHTX so is kicking in the balls
Now that's how you scrub a fuckin blood stain!
The HBO Deadwood Movie has already been announced. David Milch, please finish the script, sent it to HBO, SO ALL US HARDCORE FANS CAN GET CLOSURE.
Yeah peace
Like my dad
i think he was telling the kid to talk like johnny because johnny had "got a shot" (at doc cochran's ?) and he wanted the kid to make like he had got the shot as well even though he hadn't.
Roger Bharath no. He wanted the kid to shut the fuck up
Why did Al tell that kid to talk like that other guy?
I don't get it.
JacobMcandles he wanted him to shut the fuck up
Me neither
Either to make him shut up or just to amuse himself.
Lol
